7:03 am
thirst for evolution back in paper would achieve have all but been forgotten what people here have been telling me is that they going to remain intact here square until such time that the military that is currently in power it sticks down they criticize the current ruling military regime as being much the same as the mubarak era they say it's a regime that hasn't given a date in terms of when a plans to step down they say that the elections the parliamentary elections that are now being planned for next week monday will not be free and fair and this is a sentiment have heard from dozens of people that have managed to speak to here in tahrir square so they say that they've lost faith in the military they believe that the military is not going to keep true to its word to to step down and allow a real representative government to come into place and this is why are they taking to the streets they don't want the international community all the egyptian public to be fooled by any kind of promises that are coming from the military and certainly this is. raising concerns in the international community many western countries happy hopes on the fact that they would be some kind of new regime here
7:04 am
in egypt what we've seen happening is that the muslim brotherhood putting their voice and the strength behind these demonstrations raising concerns that it will be as strong islamist presence as this country moves forward his policy their report cairo she has a quarterly keeping an eye on what's happening there in tahrir square live updates of the rest twenty four seven on her twitter page but meantime egypt's elections may just be around the corner but questions are marks over their legitimacy are hanging heavy. visiting professor of international relations at turkey's bill came to university says there's a feeling of deep distrust towards the power elite. basically regime. difference for many many years has taken over has been a factor of sleet and could and some degree agree with sensible literally.
7:05 am
reverting for those actions the only helps in films for people who actually remaining conceptions of the internet has little in addition to the little bugs that we've seen of week and more recently some of the religious buds that coptic christians and there's a great crime wave taking place and watch and so this is pretty brutal in security how people are only monsters of weapons flying around the country from into the country and some people think the generals perhaps not open trade routes who are to serve the people who say we need security you need term coward stay in power to crack down other people they would in fact it's been started by the groups who have to take advantage of the coast so we can change and we don't need perhaps to wait for elections and elections as those as assertive should not in such way as to make a not for a decisive result or for a long drawn out process that would be restart suspicions rooms and so on and on for egypt is full of moms and. i'm going to website arts he taught com we have been
7:06 am
asking you when the violence in egypt will come to an end let's bring up the numbers and see how you're voting so if all the votes are almost evenly split the majority of you believing it will stop when the military rulers decide enough is enough almost a quarter think it will happen with the election of the muslim brotherhood and about an equal number of people see the end coming after unemployment and inflation is dealt with or when mubarak's cronies are behind bars to have your say at r.t. dot com. let's get to some stories for you here coming up on artsy spain's election brings in some new faces to deal with the ongoing debt crisis many fear it's brought the death of the welfare state a step closer also. money for nothing billions of u.s. dollars intended to rebuild war zones a stolen for those who profited millions are left to spend the field gotten gains.
7:07 am
moscow has accused western powers of storing up tensions in the arab world by calling for the overthrow of the syrian regime russia says calls from certain states for the syrian opposition to avoid a dialogue with the government are only provoking further violence. has no. what we heard from the russian foreign minister sergei lavrov today was him reiterating russia's position on the ongoing conflict in syria now that position is that they want to see negotiations regime change become the final outcome in the conflict now sergei lavrov called what he called the western coals for assad to step aside and also for the opposition in syria not to negotiate with assad he called that a provocation saying that that would not bring about peace that would only spur on the opposition to continue the fight for through seem so far over the last eight months as resulted in three and a half thousand people being killed in that country is the author of saying that this international provocation should not have happened circuses of course of
7:08 am
course you do in syria we're now seeing a situation where the arab league is calling for a whole chavalit and the beginning of dialogue and western countries around the capitals of some countries of the region and making calls to the country expressly recommending the opposition hold no talks with the assad regime it looks like a political provocation on an international scale yes violence has to be stopped but his demand has to be addressed to the authorities and the only groups in the syrian opposition now this isn't the first time day it's circular for all of us accuse the west of meddling in the syrian situation though he also suggested that there was a shadowy hand of western governments behind the arab league's decision to suspend syria from their group last week now. of course the last country to be suspended from the arab league for syria was libya and not the situation in the in libya the
7:09 am
what we saw in libya is something that russia really does not want to see happen in syria also the syrian opposition who were here in moscow last week their leaders also saying they did not want to see a civil outcome is what happened in libya where international intervention took place. since that's straight intervention straying well beyond the parameters of un resolutions that were laid down this type of outcome is something that both russia and the syrians want to avoid happening in that country. participate in all of that reporting from central moscow christopher master a writer on middle east affairs for the world socialist web site believes that the arab league wants assad's regime to go and was never interested in helping in the first place but i think first of all you have to say that the efforts of the arab elite would be designed to fail. basis not a genuine effort of conflict resolution on the part they are a belief because they are a bleak place in old inmate and before the assad regime in syria they couldn't
7:10 am
possibly meet out is that they would abandon all military action when the conditions in which the free syrian army and all the insurgents were carrying out attacks on military targets and even carried out a bombing. attack on the bucket but they said this in damascus well i think ultimately assad is fallen foul of a push by the united states to secure its domination of the middle east which is the same reason why i pushed for more against libya and now they're making very bellicose noises together with israel against the round issue is that they want a regime which may or may not include sections of the army which is more amenable to u.s. foreign policy and takes its distance from iran. our in our ten minutes past the hour here in moscow and moammar gadhafi has a future different spy chief one of the last key figures from libya's old regime
7:11 am
but still on the run has been captured in the country itself comes just days after kid after his son saif al islam was also caught the national transitional council has since said rather that it won't hand safe gadhafi over to the hague tribunal instead it's valid to try him at home for crimes against the libyan people could result in the death penalty following the toppling of us farther at the end of the eight month civil war any questions about the regime remain site has proved to be one of the few who could answer them but political analyst and author adrian salvucci believes saif al islam will it to be silenced possibly by the hague or by the libyan authorities. what. as is so it will choice between being shot or being hanged because if you use germs in trying in libya you might end up very much in the saddam hussein right trial where he will end up being armed or he will then the one will be out there and if you use it. it will not be one way or of all the other we will silence the darky son as has been the constant
7:12 am
throughout history every time somebody survives who made you uncomfortable relations and we've also seen and this is all these horrible documents how one margaret duffy only in the last two years has shook the hands of tony blair were apple barbara no doubt a lot of balloons were seeing a lot of very uncomfortable that rochambeau information given by so long about. with r.t. live from moscow now spain is shifting right to attempt to balance the books of the country's conservatives have won a landslide victory in a general election they now have to tackle record unemployment over twenty percent and find a way out from underneath a growing pile of debt but his arteries are going to go has been hearing spaniards don't hold much hope for a new crew or bring any change. this is what the spaniards want from the elections but it's very unlikely they'll get it the popular party may have won sunday's polls
7:13 am
but it's highly unlikely they are in for an easy term the reality of the economic crisis in spain means five million people out of work but only half million households without a wage earner and if you look at employment rate which has shot up to nearly fifty percent this is state of affairs the winner will have to deal with but will they really be able to make a difference probably not at least gail allard an economics professor at madrid's i even a school we're going to have to cut benefits sharply we may have to differentiate among recipients of benefits we may have to live in a program through this could really be. we made the death of the welfare state but most spirits have had enough with budget cuts and empty promises protests by the fifteen m. movement the so-called the dignity marches have been spreading throughout spain since march many people have chosen not to go to the polls on sunday believing politicians will not help the country i think people have been disappointed with the choices they have all through throughout this campaign really for the last
7:14 am
couple of months at least because i think they feel that there isn't a great deal of difference between the two candidates in terms of what they would do and it seems there is no easy way out of the current economic downturn in fact some of the minorities in the parliament believe spain is a bassist circle and. all poll issues are being dictated in brussels the elections will help in creating more jobs it will be the opposite of the public expense will go down people's purchasing power will go down but will need fewer investments and that translates into unemployment. and though there may be new faces in the spanish government they will have to deal with the old problems in much the same way meaning nothing is likely to change for spain years already tired of the economic catastrophe in the country it even goes quite madrid. and more money matters are being chewed over on our website artsy dot com for example economists are predicting they're predicting the fall of the u.s.

became clear to see that russia and europe and the us wanted russia in detail all of you know previous question marks over how the customs union would affect have really disappeared off the agenda you know if goods are imported to russia and then really explored onto the european union already treated better rusa russian goods so there are lots of these technical issues to really remain completely on results i suppose the hope is that by joining your customs union by pursuing greater economic integration with two existing member countries the better routes that mission to do of your cio might no be put on some sort of a timetable and perhaps maybe even fast tracked over the next couple of years. so look at the markets now oil is trading near its lowest in seven days speculation that fuel demand may falter and that signs of economic slowdown in asia and that crisis in europe but sweet is trading over ninety six dollars per barrel while
