tonight odyssey fears mount over the future of egypt where the al qaeda linked muslim brotherhood movement poised to play the victim in the forthcoming elections . the son of russia's antivirus software a plea to get justice he has been reportedly kidnapped or else something passed off by not all the details in just a few minutes. and doctors warn of the people exposed to the gulf of mexico oil spill could face a greater risk of cancer a year on many who took part in the clean up operation is seriously ill while officials try to sneak the story under the rug.

it's ten pm here in moscow welcome if you join the center of the r.t. news channel tonight one is kevin zero in our top story for you ahead of september's election a gyptian zur raising the memory of ousted president hosni mubarak were destroying icons and renaming streets and while the west is cheering for democracy in egypt there are now fears so over that the vote could bring about another unwanted regime of his door and that explains why. the more things change the more they stay the same certainly that's how it seems in egypt where the army is clearing cairo's tahrir square demonstrated to show everything's back to normal and they're not wrong after months of up evil it's very much the same people in charge as the thought there's a concern that they may have already the dictator they have ability to dictatorship go deep concerns as to whether the reforms are going far enough whether the restrictions on the role the military is still too great for true freedom to emerge

in. egypt and that is the debate this can only polarizing society but without the army a power vacuum and poised to step into that vacuum the muslim brotherhood links to al-qaeda the brotherhood is understood to be multiplying and organizing from the mosques according to their spokesperson they expect to win seventy five percent of the electoral seats they contest in september's election some expect something more sinister there would be a deal. between the army and between the muslim brotherhood to share power and basically hijack the whole revolution this is the oldest. the best organized political movement in opposition and of course if the field is more or less been leveled now after mubarak has gone they have more chances than others who are not organized back at the beginning of the year european leaders appeared to adopt a hands off approach to supporting democracy in egypt. these democratic change has

to start now. it needs to happen on the growth of freedom and democracy in egypt i . but americans are now arriving in droves to exert their influence over the democratization process it's very worrying to see so many advisers from washington arrive in cairo and perhaps try and hijack the revolution for washington but we must always remember that egypt was a strategic lynchpin of washington foreign policy that all important sue is canal on the nile river basin so we'll see the forces aligned against any leader that doesn't merging egypt washington will differ. but what if it's the muslim brotherhood although the west has had some dealings with the brotherhood acted very differently towards its roots organization hamas classified by some

countries as a terrorist organization into. two thousand and six how massive won a democratic election in the palestinian authority in response the middle east quartet imposed to fear sanctions according to the merriam webster dictionary the definition of democracy is government by the people so what will happen if european corridors of power if the people of egypt sees what's perceived the broad to be the role of government the world awaits the results of september the accept your average r.t. . meanwhile libya an arab nation inspired by egypt's example is struggling to overthrow gadhafi is regime after two months of fighting nato allies have announced plans to send military advisers to the rebels headquarters to help the opposition break the stalemate with pro-government forces but russia's foreign ministers warn the putting international offices on the ground could have unpredictable consequences. the latest developments in libya are not making us happy it's

a clear launch of the ground conflicts we consider these moves extremely risky which could lead to unpredictable consequences there's been cases in history when it all started with sending in military advisors and then it drags out for years and resulted in hundreds and thousands dates on both sides we call on everyone to respect the u.n. resolution in solving this conflict. of law instead of the magazine spike told me last hour that the coalition as he sees it is interpreted in the resolution to push its own agenda. britain france and other countries are stretching it as much as they possibly can so the definition of protecting civilians is. has gone from the trigger a few shots at tanks through to putting a few on the ground and that may even go further this talk of sending in military personnel to protect humanitarian aid so the rebels have. every interest in trying

to keep the thing going hoping that the west will step up their involvement and so things will carry on that this. for a while for a while yet i think. still to come on the program contacting terror. being a policeman and much as north caucasus region is a notoriously dangerous job we go on patrol in turbulent darkest on the front lines in the fight against islamic insurgents joined us in our special report in just a few minutes. we turn now to moscow next where the son of russia's most prominent and computer virus guru of guinea has person has reportedly been kidnapped for ransom our correspondent got the latest on this developing story tonight. alleged kidnapping you haven't got a few days ago it's only on thursday that these news came out and according to reports twenty year old yvonne just because he was kidnapped right next to his work in moscow and on the scene day his father you gave just yes he who is the founder

of one of the biggest antivirus software production companies in the world he reportedly received a phone call from the kidnappers who demanded three million euros in ransom this is not yet been confirmed by the authorities although he did confirm that yvonne gustier ski is missing also reports that people on the head of his home address and his work address posted on the wall of the social network so perhaps that could have helped organize this alleged kidnapping when it comes to his father you getting gustier ski he founded his company back in one thousand nine hundred seventy his wealth is estimated to be worth around eight hundred million u.s. dollars at the moment police and the federal security service are searching for his son so we know for now of course we'll be monitoring this story as it develops. a year after one of the worst environmental disasters in history in the gulf of

mexico oil spill piece trying to shift the blame but suing its contractors millions of gallons of oil spilled from the deepwater rig following the explosion at the time killed eleven people and while b.p. fights of a big bucks in court it's the locals of the still bearing the brunt artie's going attention can go the story. five million barrels of oil in combination with almost two million gallons of highly toxic chemical dispersants used to fight the oil spill a cocktail that contaminated not just the water in the gulf but found its way into people's blood a year after the disaster and environmental group tested the blood of dozens of cleanup workers as well as residents of coastal areas they found levels of ban seen thirty six times higher than normal or call for. shade and trim want to work in the open a problem or even. matter and work as a boat engineer he says he was in perfect health before he was exposed to the toxic

chemicals in the gulf now he's finding a bouquet of illnesses troubleshoot flugel called electric bill through every cell for clayton is not alone in his fight dortch price owns a small boat yard in louisiana perfectly healthy just a year ago he has lost thirty pounds in the last few months george was diagnosed with severe anaemia most iranian must still hold of this story and will be the no you know dr michael robbie chom who's been practicing medicine in louisiana for forty years says he's never had such an influx of patients with respiratory and blood issues he fears the worst distributor tourist recalls and robbie cha is one of a few doctors who is outspoken about gulf coast residents symptoms connection with the toxic chemicals that they've been exposed to many other doctors refuse to recognize the cause as dr robert shaw says either because they don't have the

necessary training or they don't want to be called a court order. requires an environmental justice group polled residents in several coastal communities almost half said they have experienced health problems like coughing skin and eye irritation or headaches that are consistent with common symptoms of chemical exposure doctors say the consequences of having for example benzene in the blood could be a lot more serious it can cause a decrease in red blood cells leading to a nino or a cancer of the blood forming organs it's very clear when you look at the ingredients both of which is considered so. it is considered as rather a hazardous material coupled with the ingredients in the toxic dispersants. and when you mix those actually. it's all it's own is more toxic and these are exactly the same rules that are literally in people's blood many of the fact it gulf coast

residents and those involved in the cleanup of the gas say here alone in their fight with the consequences of last year disaster many of them likely don't even have health coverage through. your shit worship every morning biologists are saying it's going to take at least twenty years for the gulf ecosystem to recover president obama signed the country's environmental agency to investigate health effects of the spill but many gulf coast residents are sure agency will do its best to sweep the findings under the rug and then a check on reporting from washington are. where scientists say it could be years before the full extent of the damage is known let's talk more about it some more perspective former marine conservation specialist professor richard steiner joins us now from alaska a professor thanks for being on the line of your revolver you in the aftermath of the exxon valdez oil spill back in march eighteenth nine time the worst oil disaster in u.s. history until last year's huge spill in the gulf of mexico truly wanted to ask you

twenty one years on were you surprised that this all unfolded in happened again. i was just appointed but not surprised we knew there was a high risk of an offshore catastrophic blowout like this particularly in the deep water high pressure high temperature reservoirs that they were drilling we knew that the government was not providing adequate oversight of these deepwater exploratory projects and so this was kind of we knew this would happen sooner or later and unfortunately this was a huge release of toxic crude oil into a very productive coastal ecosystem because of mexico where they had lots of calls for tighter regulation of the oil industry but it does seem does need to be driven by profits rather than considerations for the environment i mean what do you think can be done to prevent another disaster like this and was it something we could never really safeguard against. well the only true way of course of safeguarding is to not drill these deep or these high risk reservoirs use deep water or arctic

reservoirs to have inherent technological difficulties of ngugi nearing problems and risks associated with them because of high environmental and economic and social costs if there's a disaster so that the way to get there is a sustainable energy policy that we know we need to get to in the world anyway but the issue of safer drilling is a big one and and the u.s. has taken some modest steps in making deepwater drilling safer better you know better processes in blow up preventers in a blowout in cayman system that the industry is putting together and things like that but that of depends on how well it's implemented and enforced and i am not very confident that our federal government the united states or many other countries is providing adequate technological oversight of these rigs and that's relevance to russia as well as your view is that i will talk about that in a minute but if you'll view the government on the at this point tend to

underestimate the impact of the spill and still doing so and they. can still be seen on the coastline pilot looking but was that cleanup operation effective enough air and indeed as we were reporting tonight was another thought given to the impact that even those chemicals that we use in the clear of the oil would have on humans on the floor and form around the curves. yeah your point first of all your point about underestimating the extent severity of the spill is spot on the playbook that governments and their willingness to use in major oil spills and that is to understate the size understate impact and overstate the effectiveness of their response that's exactly what the us administration has done throughout e.p.a. disaster is what the oil industry has done and the truth of the matter is this was an enormous release of a toxic substance in a productive coastal system the damage was extensive it will be with us for years

on your question about the response unfortunately there is no effective way to respond well to a major release of oil in the marine environment they only recovered about three percent of the total volume of oil that escaped their containment efforts for seven non-scientists i just want to ask you most about who is are as well i remember at the time wearing well the ok you know we saw what was going into this but we also. were giving testament to the fact that all this oil disappeared quite quickly they said you know it was dissipated but i guess what was it going that. well it some of it went down some of it never came to the surface we knew from theoretical results are mixed in there of ational result prior to this bill that had deep water released from five thousand feet he a lot of the oil would not even come to the surface it would disperse in subsurface deep sea flumes which were detected finally you know several weeks into the spill a lot of it is all you have at this water soluble component that dissolves in the

water but that's a very toxic component it doesn't mean that the oil went away then some a lot of it dispersed with weight and wind energy a little bit of it may have been susceptible to the chemical dispersants they put on but i think they are definitely overstating here impact the positive in. so became so professor as a scientist what's the real deal here how bad is the damage for everything concerned and the rely on its living around the coast for the coast of self for future generations well it's safe and certainly true to that question is that it damage was extensive and it will be with us for years and probably. the economic damage has been enormous there's been billions of dollars paid already to try to settle claims social and psychological impact on coastal residents you heard some of that in your previous piece there about the impacts both physically and

psychologically on people and certainly about the future the environmental impact was enormous as well a lot of it though is out of sight out of mind because it was offshore in the deep water pelagic system and that's a hard thing for a t.v. camera to get their pictures of damage you know the safe thing to say is that you release two hundred million gallons of a touch a chemical into a productive coastal marine environment injury will be significant it has been at least a three broad areas are restoration and doing what we can to restore the gulf of mexico prevent teen a repeat of the sense that in and in getting right which sustainable energy policy in this world where we don't have to be posing this kind of risk to our ocean ecosystems. press aside a really good to have your views and insight so former marine conservation specialist as you are talking to us there from alaska. today. thanks to russia's superjet one hundred made his first passenger flight from yet

a van to armenia yerevan in armenia hits of moscow it is the first russian commercial plane produced in two decades as cross ride for business desk it's creating quite a buzz today in the business world and amongst aviation includes the earth as well and amongst the retreat. is significant isn't it for a question. asian industries good news is the absolutely the industry has very high hopes for this plane to revive actually russian civil aircraft building it has a very promising market because russia needs to. replace its aging fleet and also to link up with c.i.s. countries and maybe even the central asian markets and it has the economic efficiency to actually come back on by the. really high hopes for the play you've got more that i know a new person have put in a little bit later thanks for the quick update from you. next dozens of militants have been killed in many terrorist attacks prevented following recent security

raids in russia but the country's southern republic of dagestan still remains a hotbed for extremists with police putting their lives on the line their daily hoping to put an end to the violence parties tom barton reports from the north caucasus. on the frontline in douglas town in southern russia but this isn't a battlefield of tanks and missiles but of daily skirmishes bombs and hit and run attacks patrols is. the worst yes i'm afraid but there has to be someone to do this job and recently the dangers of the job we brought home with. as this c.c.t.v. footage shows militants drive up and fire a burst from a kalashnikov into the police station door before speeding off. five minutes later a second car left behind explodes seven policemen wounded and local prosecutor's office and federal security service building took the brunt of the blast. the local

police chief is under no illusions about the viciousness very presence. of police we have to use only legal means to fight these militants however there is one birth here when these bad things like blowing up cars in busy street must fight them in their own way the town of conciliar to itself is a modest trading center surrounded by villages many of which are friendly to the hardline wahhabi form of islam and militants it's typical of many such places to russia's north caucasus which is struggling with radical islamic insurgency locals refer to people joining the militants as having come to the forest but can't understand how they justify their acts of god and i know it's crucial to find a common language when those in a forest there should be a way to reach some compromise solution others sometimes it feels like i live not in dagestan but in afghanistan real muslims wouldn't go to the forest is on is

a social religion and the forest is for animals not people give us hobbies the bruce i knew would not i don't curse the hobbyists they're killing their brothers they're not real muslims you muslim monsters that are not terms five hundred police are mostly muslim just like the militants even so they are usually the main tera target but they're keen to distinguish between hardened terrorists and new recruits . of course young people who made a mistake and went to the forest should be given a chance to mend their ways but those who persisted killing civilians and policeman will destroy them. seen enough of his opponents to know about their methods and motives however dangerous they are he doesn't think he faces a special threat. those who go to. forrester just. criminals are scum and it's awful to be using islam to disguise theory. but at the police station they're reinforcing the concrete barricades they want to be prepared for

the next wave of kalashnikovs car bombs were at a checkpoint on the outskirts of the town police say their life here over the past decade has been one of virtual parties than me and yet nobody seem to be able to answer those two most obvious of questions how or when it might send some bots in art see. what world news headlines and i forces loyal to the ivory coast new government of change fire with former president troops is part of attempts to reestablish security after heavy fighting earlier this month to oust the incumbent leader he was arrested last week with the help of u.n. and french forces during a raid on his residence in the main city of abidjan an internationally recognized leader of the summer tire has been trying to unite the country following last year to speak of elections. syrian president bashar al assad has officially lifted the country state of emergency rule after almost fifty years in effect it comes after weeks of violence anti-government protests calling for the president to spend moved

when the law which granted authorities the rightful arrest people without charges being seen as an attempt to diffuse the arrest human rights campaigners say more than two hundred people have been killed in the full crackdown against. japan there are six magnitude rocked the east and northeast of the country no tsunami warning was issued in the no media reports of any casualties or damage but the trouble continues round fukushima japan has declared the twenty kilometer evacuation area around the stricken plant an official no entry zone now comes after police found more than sixty family still living inside the affected area following that has asked about in march the plan crippled by both the earthquake and tsunami has been hit by a series of explosions and radiation leaks. at least fourteen people have been killed in pakistan's largest city karachi thirty others wounded officials say the blast went off inside an illegal gambling club the explosion took place in

a neighborhood where a war a grudge gangs operate. a small fee just over twenty minutes and i do not say you didn't say with news of a managerial merry go round in the russian premier league and also this hour we're talking to the president of dagestan in a few minutes to all that then after the latest has an eye business in just a second that. for the full story we've got. the biggest issues get a human voice face to face with the news makers on. the little beasts which brightened a few songs from feinstein's gratian. stance

on t.v. don't come. business i think it's good to have your company the russian co-owners of the n.k.v.d. p.r. considering suing b.p. over violations of the company's shareholder agreement the consortium of russian shareholders says the lawsuit may take place in three weeks time however the amount of the claim to be revealed earlier was reported it may want to ten billion dollars from b.p. in january to british oil signed an article gratian shares what grievance with another russian oil major ross snapped are considered the move against the joint ventures agreement and temporarily block the deal here's mike simpson from the capital. then you should move was made to the. new fifty cent

and then the slinging that. because. it's sort of midway. we could be really good to gain this. is the key part of the. state of the interest to history so i think you know this negotiations there's politically will continue with the schools in the with. the agreement and the stretches you do want of the p.t. we have problems meanwhile russia's largest private world company lukoil may take part in exploration and development of the shelf deposits licensed to ross and yet both companies say the decisions first take profitability of existing projects. and russia has appealed to chinese officials to settle the payments for oil supplies through negotiations the action followed after the country's oil pipeline

monopoly transept declared it may file a lawsuit against china in the course the grounds of the spirit lies in its chinese part the sea of pc's failure to meet the agreed price for the east pacific ocean pipeline transnet says its monthly losses are valued at around twenty million dollars while the overall debt has exceeded one hundred million dollars. moscow's sheremetyevo airport has played host to the arrival of the first commercial flight of the new sea horse superjet one hundred yard of your aircraft named after the first man in space you regard it was carrying its focus to your passengers on a trip for the first russian passenger plane produced twenty years superjet is intended to be a competitor to rival medium range aircraft manufactured by cannabis from badia and brazil zimbra. take a look at how the. russian markets closed because they session the net was a mixed picture with the obvious growing part of the said my six down point one

percent segregate some of the stocks gas prom was one of the biggest gainers up two percent as it announced it wouldn't take part in exploring the elephant field in libya for now only met so still none of the top losers despite high precious metal prices that's after the company published disappointing results. and that's all we have time for coming up next on our see the headlines with carol stay with us.
