after the storm on karros top here square following another night of clashes the protesters refused to be moved by the military's promises. protesters say the army's apology is insincere but many vowing not to vote in next week's parliamentary elections. arab foreign ministers are also in egypt but it's syria that's on their agenda as they threaten damascus with sanctions while france proposes what it calls a humanitarian intervention. no plans to stop the reset of times

but says it will pull out of the nuclear disarmament treaty and place rockets on its borders if the u.s. goes ahead with its missile defense shield in europe. international news in comment live from moscow twenty four hours a day this is. egypt's military has apologized for the deaths of nearly forty protesters over several days of violent clashes with police this morning besides declared a break in fighting in the bloodiest demonstrations since february uprisings that toppled president mubarak. is in cairo and. is a tense truce at the moment but is it holding have there been any more clashes today so for. the situation here is calm and that it's calm from as calm as it can be as you can see behind me to. tens of thousands of protesters

remain intact in the square the numbers are so i'll miss them they were this time yesterday but we still live here anderson says going through the square although nowhere near as many as we spoke yesterday only and the army apologized for the loss of life and the youngsters who had been injured but talking to protesters here many of them have been telling me that they believe that that apology was insincere the army also says that it is committed to holding fundamental elections next week monday but again many protesters asking the question how can you hold even actions in a climate like this and what kind of the just in the state will those nations have that was also a rather bizarre and non-slip that was made by the ministry it says it will find some five hundred egyptian pounds which is the equivalent of some eighty three us dollars on every egyptian he does not vote next monday so people are laughing at all from saying really what kind of democracy is that the army is also said that before monday it will have a new cabinet in place but no word yet on who will be the new prime minister tasked

with forming a new government the latest figures we have a first he nine people dead and still moving two thousand injured. the arab league is meeting in car at the moment at the center of the second wave of egypt's revolution but that's the reason being discussed at all at this meeting. you know the situation in egypt is not being discussed at this arab league meeting which is quite bizarre and ironically the focus of the meeting is to look at the escalating violence in syria and the question of whether or not to impose sanctions on that country the leaks proposal is to send some five hundred observers to damascus until now syria has refused to do this saying that it infringes on the sovereignty of the races were those from the iraqi foreign minister is that the mass this is not good to come to the party and find a protocol that will see is accepting these hundreds. of observers now damascus has

one day and has until this time tomorrow to sign a special the arab league will be nice again on saturday if indeed the syrians find this will be an indication that they have given in to pressure to try and prevent sanctions against b. and b. the options on the table were not only sanctions of course also travel bans against syrian officials the stopping of commercial flights in and out of syria if indeed the syrians don't side will be in the arab league will need to make good on its threats and it remains to be seen not decision the leak was made on the weekend but certainly this is receiving a lot of criticism not only here in the region but internationally where people are accusing the arab league of double standards and pick up the seat again saying why so many people here in egypt have been killed and injured in this situation here is unfolding almost hour by hour indeed chooses not to discuss the situation in egypt only to discuss what's going on in syria paula thanks very much indeed for that

live update from cairo that's what he's paula slayer there. let's talk to his job or he's director of the center for middle east studies he joins us live from beirut what as we've just been talking about the arab league is meeting at the scene of the recent violent crackdown on protesters there in cairo and yet it's syria rather than egypt that's only agenda why is that. really you are right the league they're meeting in another city. don't care at all not be surprised and all talk about on a big later but they are in cairo and the protesters are around them and they will not they did not even command. what that's going on in egypt and the conflict between the people and the military council and. i don't have any explanation for the behavior of the arab league except one explanation that i believe and majority

are under the pressure. of the united states of america. the gulf countries who control you know because they have money and has to be afraid of the financial problems i didn't know but there's that sense of. secretary-general. we have many. here every. very much too few years ago and i remember he told me that the brains to be financial problem no gulf countries in the arab league and because they were ordered by the united states of america and the gulf countries present you know. i wouldn't say the majority of the arab countries but they can control the majority of the arab countries who have now. taken this position.

because this is american idol ok get this sense they gave whoever is influencing the arab league and you're saying the agenda behind all of this is the american pressure what impact will these latest sanctions that the leaders announced against syria have on assad will it really pressure the president to step down or to go ahead with those promised reforms quickly quicker than expected. if you have to go to the american first go to russia to answer this question and watch in time that is a divergence point of view i have been watching. and i. many and the american association believes that with the four. americans. he can stay he can solve the problem otherwise they disappear i mean any way ahead of the day. and night couldn't. because now they.

can't especially the purchase on the pressure to take out so you have to go back to understand what's gone and see the love to go back five years ago when i was left after that's a summation of how do you hate about three years under sanctions and. you know. by disassociation then three years later. two thousand and eight. and then mr obama also sent his ambassador before the congress worked out in a dark night anyway it wasn't for the first question that's that c.v.r. fourth. grade very strange strong cards here i could live on on education will be right in front of my c.v.

i did not give up until the worst i mean think. that's right syria is not let me quickly ask you the arab league is running out of patience the international community is running out of patience in terms of france we just heard it suggested intervention in syria on the basis of humanitarian grounds that they will that get support from other nato allies do you think just briefly i think i think they are talking to. talking about this and i think they are not the arabs the french with the americans and with turkey they are trying to find any way to create not a buffer zone but as they said the humanitarian. which is dangerous anyway and the sanctions against syria it will harm in many ways syria but it's not the past perfect because c.b.s. then goes with their own which are and with iran as specially after the withdrawal of the american from get out next month and of next month i think iran will have

direct access to syria. through iraq i don't think syria. i mean it's not a pass through for all sanctions economic sanctions against syria of course the idea has a chronic problem now about mounting exchange traded cetera but i think and the sanction will not. and the next. weeks or and the next months thank you very much and if your time director center of the center for middle east studies that we appreciate your time in your thoughts thank you. but it has flared up in northern kosovo with nato soldiers using tear gas against local serbs trying to stop the barricades from being dismantled troops and right gear attempted to remove concrete barriers and put up a fence to try and restore control of the area late on wednesday gunshots were

reportedly heard when hundreds of ethnic serbs part of the speech cannot go through all the while tensions have been on the rise over disputed border crossings since july when cost of authorities try to take control of checkpoints from post to trade on serbian goods political analysts and xander public maintaining the region's volatile situation is in the interests of the western allies. it seems like someone is actually planted the seed of the future of instability and disorder in this part of the world in two thousand and eight other priests not unilaterally declared independence and the nato countries recognize their independence so the root of the problem is that we have western powers for recognising and illegally declared state and they're trying to make the serbs down there may make them live inside this illegally declared state local service have made clear that they're absolutely not going to allow the nato to help the albanians establish their own

state and in turn terry of serbia and this is this is a classical stalemate nato is going to keep doing what they're trying to do and the serbs are going to be doing with their own trying to do nato has the force the serbs have no there they're not armed so nato has the initiative they have the power and obviously they're willing to use it against unarmed civilians. r.t. live here in moscow coming up later in the program one for all or all for one. leaders pledged closer ties and stand by the single currency the question of collective boring for the eurozone continues to divide the region's top brass. and portugal hits a new low as its debt has been classified as junk by one of the world's leading ratings agencies. well scott says it's not planning to halt the reset of ties with washington but is ready to pull out of the nuclear arms reduction treaty if

the u.s. goes ahead with its defense shield plans in europe washington says it will not review its program despite russia warning that it could move its own offensive missile systems to its borders in response in the sonali exclaims. first his reaction to the active development of plans for this missile defense shield in eastern europe came in the form of an announcement from president mids major where he highlighted five steps that the russian federation would take if the u.s. and nato don't reconsider their plans first of all activated immediately will be early radar warning stations in kaliningrad which is russia's most western enclave the country's nuclear strategic forces will be strengthened significantly he pointed out that this needs to happen quote urgently at the country's strategic missiles will be fitted with advanced penetration systems and latest generation warheads and he's also notified the armed forces that a sister needs to be developed that could destroy data exchange in the control systems of this planned missile defense shield if these steps are not enough the

president pointed out that this would be russia's last resort. just a bitch if other measures are insufficient russia will deploy a contemporary strike systems in the west and south east in order to prevent further damage from the us missile systems in europe the system of deployment of the is going to missiles system in the coming that region will be one such step if the situation develops in an unfavorable way russia will reserve the right to cease for the new year we do sentiment and arms control. given unix takeable linkage between strategic offensive and defensive weapons yet reasons could emerge from russia's withdrawal from the strategic arms reduction treaty because this is a vision within the content of the treaty the president pointed out once again emphasizing that he believes dialogue is the way to go and that cooperation is still possible it's not too late the promises are just not going to be enough russia needs legally binding agreements from nato and the u.s. that these systems are not meant as

a deterrent against them from the was told lot of the same rhetoric that russia has been listening to for years again that this system is meant aimed against so-called rogue states like iran and north korea that it's not any way again. russia that they do believe that russia and the west should have separate systems from the representatives from the national security council we heard that cooperation again they praised president made a statement about further cooperation but also pointed out this is very important that they will continue to cooperate but that pursuit of cooperation will in no way be limited or changed or changed the plans for missile defense shield and then from secretary general rasmussen of nato we heard again praise for the statement on dialogue and cooperation but he say that he is disappointed by president medvedev statement that it's not in the spirit of russia nato cooperation but again if you look at a map you will see very clearly that nato is rapidly expanding eastwards on russia's what's eastwards on russia's western border you have the united states and their

bases all throughout the middle east and then up russia's eastern seaboard you have bases in japan and south korea so basically russia is being surrounded and it's pretty easy to understand why this is such a major concern for their national security. and he said no reporting now we want to know how you think russia's warnings over america's missile shield plans will play out you can head to our website r.t. dot com and cast your vote let's have the full screen and see the results so far while the opinion has been split between those who believe it could trigger a new arms race and those who think washington will compromise and agree to moscow's demands a quarter say it will see the pentagon only speeding up the deployment while the rest think russia is objections will lead to europe saying no to the u.s. express your point of view cast your vote at r.t. dot com. as the euro zone's debt levels continue to hold high france and germany say they will propose changing eat you treaties to improve financial governance in the region president sarkozy and chancellor merkel have been talking

in strasbourg where meeting the appointed italian premier the leaders of also reaffirm their commitment to the single currency idea of collective eurozone boring though is still a divisive issue championed by e.u. technocrats in paris but strongly opposed by the region's cash. it would help raise much needed capital for the debt ridden nations but largely a germany's expense as its boring costs would rise investment advisor patrick young says the eurozone needs someone able to make executive decisions. but the problem is first of all to go back to what we always keep hammering on the bike we really need leadership mr barroso is trying to push forward this idea of euro bonds amongst others ultimately also germany either has to decide that it wants to be sickly take away the ball and threw a lot of other members out of the euro zone because they view them as not being worthy of being membership or they're going to have to essentially bite their

tongue and they're going to have to come forward and do something with the marketplace and in some way find a solution the problem we have is you know euro gone's we were talking about those a year ago fifteen months ago but the difficulty has been all along the lack of political leadership and right now there is. definitely are pople smell of fear in brussels over what's going on when you're in the euro parliament in the coffee shops the huddled corners are discussions about whether the euro always going to survive in any schiffer form and hopefully that's going to be a catalyst to see and i critique of leadership and my critique of government and we will find a solution whether it's a collective of euro bonds or some other form of transfer that at least gets the market working again and a lot of countries to borrow this crisis is like a pandemic of financial panic nobody really think you see if in the euro zone and that's why germany must come i don't need a euro bond is basically a case of putting lipstick on the pigs quite literally in every possible sense and

of course the other countries who are currently shut out of the borrowing market or have to borrow at very expensive writs want to be part of a club where hopefully they will be able to borrow money and they'll be able to borrow it much not more cheaply than they can get it in their own right but are younger one of those crisis hit pigs countries portugal has just received a vote of no confidence from ratings john fitch lisbon's credit score was proclaimed junk fitch cited high debt levels and low growth despite a seventy eight billion euro earlier this year this comes as workers angered by deep cuts. in a twenty four hour strike and as r.t. to renegotiate reports more and more desk reported portuguese and now seeking a better life abroad. now expired readers ready to go leave your home and has probably never been easier cricket will figure out why stay in portugal when we know that architects with five years' experience are paid just eight

hundred euro's a month is a question a lot of young specialists have been asking themselves lately and a surprising answer may be to leave for portugal's former colonies clint brazil testifies untrue and has been rather stable they had their national truth and then a massive reconstruction process began so there are opportunities for civil construction companies especially and a lot of what he's talking companies went there and they're currently very very active i'm going to maybe know shandi many portuguese are starting to do it at least to the present day. an african country rich in diamonds an oil resources presents an advertising opportunity for a lot of people who have lost hope of finding a decent job at home their phone in one of the vehicle ever i tell him moving abroad invariably says brillant can you get my job to friends even ask me to take their c.v. . according to some reports around ninety thousand portuguese are currently living in cooler computer with just ten thousand in two thousand to some go looking for

better income but most are simply looking for something something better than the ever worsening situation called recently i think salaries unfortunately are not the main reason and the main reason is the lack of opportunities in the portuguese markets due to the well to the krises the mass exodus of portugal's young smart and educated labor ten to the end of an era for the country a lot of specialize people where higher education scientists brain drain as if you can call it that the go and work we have abroad and study abroad and those to stay there and of course we will most likely never recover those human assets like rita the hardly he tries to from the abroad that is aging work for a decent salary far outweighing any possible fear of flying it even goes great he has been. by the way had to r.t. dot com for more on the debt crisis marching through the eurozone but across the
