the. points pushers and i would print searching the splined hotel in touch with the hotel it's like your religion a good good how would international homeless flood achieve every green loli he told in total. nearly one thousand people eagerly awaiting the start to meet him in the different first place the press conference all the details coming out. revolution and religion the downfall of egypt's presidents use a cane or ship or place with face based violence as muslims and christians lose the common enemy that united them. crisis hit americans turn to booming the fans can't companies for work and one of the few industries still thriving thanks to the u.s. wars abroad.

this is r.t. coming to you live from moscow i'm reading joshua welcome to the program all the very heart of russia's own visions for a high tech spirit your is ready to host hundreds of journalists a day present be sure if you have has chosen the scald of innovation hub as a venue for what is by far use biggest una sessions it's taking office three years ago all we can now cross like to respond to the truth is always got more for us because we as we know final preparations for the landmark news conference are underway at the moment so what exactly are we expecting to happen there. it is exactly as you say real final preparations are underway at a press conference is expected to start in just under an hour's time we've got nearly one thousand journalists both local from russia and foreign representatives of foreign media outlets all gathered here in the skolkovo innovation how just on the outskirts of the russian cow. we're all waiting to see exactly how many

prussians the russian president will take what subjects he will choose to cover whether he'll be focusing more on domestic or foreign policies and whether he'll reveal any interesting insights for the future now of course this place is very significant to the president and this event a skull killer has been a pet project for the russian president ever since he took office promising to make it a sort of an out a log all of the united states silicon valley and work is of course undergoing here as we speak this place where we are right now is of course an international business school m.b.a. school and it symbolizes everything that they committed to hopes to achieve during his presidency and of course to talk a little bit more about those goals and i thought what this press conference my cover i'm joined live by all that of my colleagues a fellow anchorman and also the deputy director of pricey t.v. talent as a billionaire he's so much for playing there now this press conference that we're

all waiting for and what do you think oh look i think it will focus on what subjects will not touch upon couple for a couple of geographic details to get descriptions of what's going to be. the something of a more simple that here because we are the eulogies which would be enjoying your point here kate is not washington beltway anywhere in the u.s. to us that we have beyond emotional cycle grows which symbolizes these being that's holding you in the old days of the old world however it's all seen as goats some limitations takes the world as far as i'm concerned was i'm going to austin if i have a choice is whether we have in the reversible situation because it is a shame they use this significant new more than some particular. in the patients that said we will have them and so for the rest of the country now this is very important and also probably going to the people is going to. come. probably we see

the president quite often we all of course are pooled by the normal provincial justice to try to stop but this is a good thing this is a good thing because we may expect when it's not unexpected topics will be to be covered after all boring guys well basically speak about the same agenda over time they may have something very interesting to cover and you think that because there are so many. prevention journalists as you say here i have trouble writing was writing over the country do you think that that's that could signify that the president will choose to focus more on domestic policies rather than foreign policy well i'd imagine it's going to be a chance it's once here the foreign policy will be covered and shall be covered but given the number of regional colleagues of ours i've just met some colleagues from our branches in congress coaches. i was away. and they will of course concentrate on their domestic agenda however the big issue in the region right now

is the destruction of the border line with china because of the water flow and there's a presidential decree also rises local authorities through what's what will be the right engineering to strengthen they think things because one is these domestic or foreign policy that's actually so i would expect you know once you've mentioned china you start talking about things other than just because like of course now because there is also quite a few foreign journalists here and of course as you mentioned once you say china or india that opens the door for questions about foreign policy i think most of the foreign journalists that are here are actually very curious about domestic policy and the presidential election so does that do you think that that will make it into this press conference that's why same concerns if i with if i would meet if. i would ask the question a question of when you write we obviously well it exists. but these are you these

billionaire was just to grab him so some of the potential new leads up. and as we all know of a news agency which is on the program of these parts is not exactly the same with the presidential organization john the but these are. related subjects so i would expect someone maybe leverage which ones will leverage don't hold your door the question which i was going to ask her i don't think it will have to sectionals the presence of all these because you've got these people called by the united russia party. in fact scuse me for being bitter motorsports last week mr president was you know through here in the last few people struck so great in there what he thinks about these new political initiatives he always says that he's the good ones will be constitution so we're not going to hear from him things like i will be the leader of responsible it's still interesting to listen to what he's going to say and to ensure all laws are as far as the decision transitions from

a government keeping up the entry exit and we're all here on our toes i mean with just under an hour to go everyone here is waiting to see exactly what the president more focused on oil of course be broadcasting that press conference live so hopefully we'll stay with our teacher watching absolutely can bring the thanks very much indeed as you just arrived we reminded our viewers will be broadcasting this conference at one pm moscow time which is less than an hour's time now thank you very much indeed for this update. well still to come on the program here on our t.v. stand up to big brother. is in danger of foundation so i don't want to see it's not see or a free society so we can faces legal action for refusing to give up the right of its citizens to speak to each other without being spied on. in cairo muslim and christian leaders have mats to try and ease these religious tensions that split over into deadly violence they call them. hitchens tonight clashes reportedly

started because of an interface marriage considered forbidden by religious theorists more than ten people have been killed on both sides and two christian churches burned down says the trouble started christians once more rights and say they are not being protected by the interim government put in place following the revolution that opposed president hosni mubarak as his way of the national reports and opposed to accept reality. president mubarak's gone but there is little satisfaction in duty to free egypt. previously unified square through a common enemy barak's resignation so egypt and muslims and christians and each other. we want justice we want equal rights. in institutions in business and in oregon in politics. for centuries the coptic christian minority has felt discriminated in a country dominated by eighteen million muslims the revolutionary euphoria has

drawn in a desire for change. people have to sit through them and they like it now we are kind of fed up with the situation. tensions in the past month have left dozens killed scores injured and several churches burned his muslim woman and her entire family had been welcome in liberation until her twenty four year old son was killed in the street by a green thrown during sectarian clashes in baghdad a northern flashpoint as years of simmering religious tension boil over sorrow we know mubarak was a dictator maybe he was corrupt but at least we have been able to sleep and our children were alive we never saw that before we couldn't have even imagine something like this happening yes from this point of view i miss the old regime and others glorify the january revolution. among them the muslim brotherhood then

turned to mubarak to jade's the country's only bleach group with the president gone they moved from jail cells to this luxury in central cairo the revolution given them a long way to boys. radicals are triggering the terms. of the revolution united people and they want to rule don't want to see egypt strong and independent but i'm sure it will disappear after the parliamentary elections push congress. in bad chiros poorest district is home to millions of people surviving on just a couple of dollars a day full of in the clear revolution egypt's immune system has been weakened dramatically economies in critical condition this ruling the country when this happens the symptoms strike the most vulnerable first and the question now is just how far the damage might spread and whether egypt can ever recover. rich russian.

cairo. libyan state t.v. is reporting that a nato warship has been hit by khadafi forces close to the port of misrata however the alliance denies the claims and rebel forces say the former leader while minister has the fact that i have fled the country something not confirmed by the gadhafi regime if true will be the second high ranking libyan official to flee after foreign minister moussa koussa left for britain in march on tuesday and a voice from tripoli visited moscow for talks to find a way to stop violence in the country they say they are ready to hold fighting only if the opposition downs arms and nato stops air raids adrian pops from camp university told r.t. the pressure from russia could be key to finding a diplomatic solution. we have seen enough evidence that the gadhafi regime is prepared to lay down its weapons and stop its own campaign and of course it's very difficult with the claims and counterclaims that for the moment i think to get out

he was deemed lacks any credibility no one in the regime. at the moment i think can be trusted and in that sense it's very hard to see how this can come about with more pressure from countries like russia on the drop in the perhaps we will be able to move in that direction but i would have thought that the rebels will want to visit moscow in order to increase their own international legitimacy of course we know the rebels have been seeking diplomatic recognition from around the world but just getting recognition from from the west from countries like france and others won't be enough they know they need the support of security council members like like russia and ultimately also china so to thought they have a strong interest in a visit to moscow meeting with the russian foreign minister. from moscow this is our team and you can always check out our website r.t. dot com for more stories but here's what's on the line for you right now and alleged cannibalism arrested in moscow police say they countered his apartment to find a man making a stupid use drinking body. and china joins the space race with some far reaching

government is helping at all are these crossed are coming your way. we have to look at the numbers and the numbers tell the story of the united states spends far more on health care than other developed countries and it's far worse in outcomes in terms of overall state of health in terms of mortality rates morbidity rates we're not getting the job done and the health care is radically different among different social groups so we have a broken health care system that's extremely expensive it's like a shiny cadillac that doesn't go anywhere in terms of the numbers when what we really need is a good survey and they can get people back. if you want to. see artie's sweden stands as one of the last bastions of privacy in the e.u. with little personal invasion by the state which is why it's putting up such

a fight against demands that it stores and monitors all telecom internet traffic or designer benefit ports from stockholm where a big brother isn't. even every text will be watched if the e.u. has its way. to impose a little to stop. all telecom traffic data it will know where you are and who you are talking to sweden's refusing and is now being sued by the e.u. all this is information probably will be in some case misused isn't injuring their foundations of. the c s s e or a free society the law was meant to combat terrorism and sweden should have been tracking calls since two thousand and seven but parliament just postponed it for yet another year one of just five members standing up to big brother the has been

bringing in many cases before and they are also in this case and they're of course which are the chase criminals and combat terrorism but we should not build up a big brother society going under the radar could land sweden a fine of up to sixty eight million euros a small price to pay for a country that doesn't like be watched it's not something you notice at first glance but c.c.t.v. doesn't actually exist in sweden the only security cameras on the street are cashpoints but there aren't any public places like this one that sound portent and well guarded previously is here at the moment we use free from the watchful gaze but it's not about cameras that they to drop it can be stored for up to two years it's already kit for three months by operators for billing reasons they say that's enough. the majority of the requests that are coming from law enforcement authorities actually concern communications which were made within the first three

months so it means that it is really this proportion that the extra storage will cost operate is an estimated twenty million euros in total i would say that it is a problem it is a big burden for all of her readers they cannot give me a hundred percent guarantee that this information will not leak into the hands where you work for dr. even the european commission admits changes are needed through pool last month on the right to privacy was being threatened so there is room for improvement in the current data retention directive these roches shortcoming of considerable concern for citizens and for industry hopefully later this year will present amendments to this exchange has taken sweden four years just to get that far there's a long way to go before would you be. giving up on the bit on stock. take

a look at some other stories from around the world and the god of states and european union are planning new sanctions against the syrian leadership the additional pressure is aimed at putting in a chance to have violent crackdown against anti-government protests the e.u. has already imposed an arms embargo travel ban and frozen assets in europe more than seven hundred people are thought to have been killed since demonstrations against president bashar last it started in mid march. i have the record general down an extra arrested and jailed in the tampa great harvest has been put under a suicide watch according to reports from being held in rikers island and a tory is new york prison known for its gang violence will stay there until at least friday when he's due in court again the charge is exceptionally sold and made in a new york hotel. mexican police have found five hundred thirty migrants hiding inside two trucks bound for the rest of us covering was made by x. ray equipment a checkpoint in southern mexico it's the largest group found in years and included

people from nine countries mostly from central america police also arrested four suspects accused of people smuggling. the damage of japan's crippled fukushima nuclear power plant is much worse than first thought fuel rods of the worst hit reactor have totally melted it not confirmed by the authorities it's feared two others are also in meltdown but if we are exclusions. i want to around a facility has been extended in japan is facing accusations it's holding back the true extent of the damage polio quake and tsunami in march as radiation risk expert professor christopher busby puts the signs of a meltdown a word or a long before a word when. i'm out means that the fuel inside the reactor has got so far that it's melted and there's a sort of raging radioactive inferno taking place inside the reactor we believe actually probably outside the reactor now because the reactor pressure vessel is certainly breached and in fact it's you may recall i was right from the beginning

some indications that this was the case actually that although they've admitted this now the real situation is in fact far worse because there have been nuclear explosions we now know so we do know that it's very very bad radioactive particles are not appearing in the united states and certainly that one of radioactivity appearing as far south as tokyo and it's a very serious matter and the feeling is that we never really miscalculated anything goes just trying to cover everything not from the very beginning and the problem is that enough people are out there not measuring things for them no longer to be able to sustain the idea that there's nothing happening there which they which they presented from the beginning and i think yes of course it's time for the japanese government to take control but having said that it's very hard to know how you could take control of the situation the situation is essentially out of control . back we'll have lines in just a few minutes but before is that will get the latest from the world of business was katrina.
