rockets on its borders if the u.s. goes ahead with its missile defense shield in europe the top stories this hour. international news in comment live from moscow twenty four hours a day good to have you with us this hour egypt's military has apologized for the deaths of nearly forty protestors over several days of bonding clashes with police however thousands and talk to square say they're not buying it and plan to boycott next week's elections has more from. the situation here is calmer but it's far from as calm as it can be as you can see behind me tens of thousands of protesters remain in town this where the numbers are still on this and they were this time yesterday but we still hear ambulances going through the square although no way near as many as we heard yesterday only in the army apologized for the loss

of life and the youngsters who had been injured were talking to protesters here many of them again telling me that they believe that that apology was insincere the army also says that it is committed to folding fundamental elections next week monday but again many protesters asking the question how can you hold elections in a climate like this and what kind of the just want to see will those elections have there was also a walk that bizarre and now cement that was made by the ministry it says it will find some five hundred different pounds which is the equivalent of some eighty three u.s. dollars and every egyptian he does not vote makes my day so people are laughing at all for saying really what kind of democracy is this the army has 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 tusk with forming the new government the latest figures we have thirty nine people dead and still more than two thousand injured the situation in egypt has not been

discussed the arab league meeting which is quite bizarre and ironically the purpose 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 uniques proposal is to send some five hundred of services to damascus until now syria has a serious davis saying that it infringes on a sovereignty places were both from the iraqi foreign minister is that damascus is not prepared to come to the party and sign a protocol that will see is accepting these hundreds of observers now damascus has on one day it has until this time tomorrow to sign this measure to the arab league that we need to. again on saturday if indeed the syrians sign this will be any indication if they have given in to pressure to try and prevent sanctions against him be the options on the table were not only sanctions that also travel bans again soon officials the stopping of commercial flights in and out of syria if indeed the

syrians don't sign for them the arab league will need to make good on its threats and as a means to be seen what decision he will make on the weekend the search me this is receiving a lot of criticism not only here in the region but internationally 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 and the situation here is unfolding almost hour by hour where he chooses not to discuss the situation egypt but only to discuss what's going on in syria. and artie's point to snare is also keeping us updated via twitter feeds she's just posted the former egyptian premier guns ory has reportedly accepted the position of prime minister and the former new cabinet and you can follow paula tweets for live updates from egypt. while the arab league is discussing sanctions against syria france has become the first western country to suggest intervention on

a humanitarian basis well for more about that i'm not joined live by professor of political science and i are joining us now from paris where you have a three month air force while paris has talked about a possibility of intervention in syria by creating a humanitarian corridor towards all zones that sounds suspiciously like the no fly zone in force over libya it is now well legit nique seems to be the scene of the game this time is there it it's an it is for look it was a decision at the u.n. security council which is not likely this time because there's opposition from russia and china but the. but does not mention. is there even a monday of to the assad regime a very ugly regime which was ugly when it was called greeted with the west a lot of opponents in syria actually would not welcome intervention by western forces or even turkish forces so you can be an opponent of the regime and against

foreign intervention i saw today several dogs several groups entire oppose outside trying to very tricky again but you know the french you speak canal watching new beeld yesterday but nature is indeed preparing for simple humanitarian intervention so the similarities but also the key differences in a game being played break now clearly there's pressure now from the arab league and indeed from france and presumably france would be backed up by the you on this we see a lot of cooperation now between the arab league and the e.u. well you know last time around germany didn't want to take part in the lead to mention him in libya so there's going to be debate within the e.u. and also it within the arab league i mean there are probably some countries that very much and are in favor of intervention and. have been focused on syria and not on what's happening in egypt or even what's happening in bahrain or yemen so this

kind of dissension probably the arab league would be in favor of some kind of intervention but not military intervention things that probably are not settled yet temptation to intervene is there and you know already the forces at work and leading the military bases in turkey so there is a straight towards a good type situation but with key differences with what existed at the u.n. security council and also on the ground we talked about a possible comparison with libya a little earlier about the french foreign minister saying that the syria. national council is now the legitimate organization for holding darla that sounds a bit like libya's national transitional council doesn't it the m.t.c. the way that was recognized yes it sounds very much like this you have a group of opponents and then the officially recognized but then for libya there

was no stop to the intervention because there was a un resolution which is of course if equally for a little bit intervention but this time it's very unlikely it would be lead would be provided by the un so there's something in common but i think it would be far more difficult to put into practice for two reasons russian and chinese opposition and the un but also. there's a strong group of people within syria who do not want. magick and that's probably going to be good as well is a sad really in power or is he under pressure from the military and other influences there's so much pressure on assad himself but is that where the pressure should be applied. well you know when you have literally. each cannot run the country by himself he must be supported by what is usually the army in a case of syria is supported by the army and also the sunni and the subsequent to

the usually whites who are lucky for the traditionally. leadership so. it is not supported by the army anymore he will of course disappear because one leader can are operate he must have a strong support in some sectors of society notably the military. this militarist of my be crammed in with sunni insurgents and so on so. things might be developing within syria which would lead to a kind of collapse of the regime but. it's still very much up in the yeah you know whether it's going to be a term strategically but these are tabs would be countered by many different forces within. syria ok thank you very much for your thoughts here professor of political science there joining us in paris work. violence has flared up in

northern kosovo with nato soldiers using tear gas against local serbs who tried to stop their barricades being dismantled troops in right here attempted to remove concrete barriers and put up a barbed wire fence to try and restore control of the area gunshots were portably heard when hundreds of ethnic serbs poured into the streets to remove the wire tensions have been on the rise over disputed border crossing since july and causing reporters try to take control of checkpoint impose a trade goods political analyst told me earlier that the serbian side has every reason to defend itself. there is no doubt that nato has a legitimate presence in the whole of cost of all it's not a problem of whether they should media it's not a problem that they are the ones that are the only legitimate force which should act upon such situations but the problem is that they are exceeding their limits and they are exceeding their authority and nobody wants to see it all night at some barricade and. nobody has something better to do the problem is the people are

really scared there are threats all the time there are incidents from being inside there are there are people getting shot there are all sorts of pressures and there is a great number of people especially from the albanian side and some of the supporter is in both in europe and even in serbia which are constantly threatening with the so-called croatian scenario and that is the worst thing that could happen. well coming up a little later in the program here in r.t. one for all all for one leaders purchase of ties and the single currency for the question of collective route for the euro zone continues to provide the region's top brass. political hits a new low it's that has been classified as junk by one of the world's leading ratings agencies. moscow says it's not planning to halt the reset of times 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 that is a missionary explains. press's reaction to the active development of plans for this missile defense shield in eastern europe came in the form of an announcement from president meets 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 notify the armed forces that a system 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. other measures are

insufficient russia will deploy and temporary strike systems in the west and south east in order to prevent further damage from u.s. missile systems employed in europe the deployment of these kind of missile systems in accounting that region will be one such step if the situation develops in an unfavorable way russia will reserve the right to cease further steps and here we are disarmament and arms control of it give me an extra couple link between strategic offensive and defensive weapons yet reasons could emerge for russia from a 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 a legally binding agreements from nato and the u.s. that these systems are not meant as a deterrent against them from the was a 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 have separate systems from the representatives from the national security council you heard that cooperation again they praise president has 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 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 west a 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 now is that we want to know how you think russia's warnings over america's missile shield plans will play out and to our website. and cost you'll vote on the fuel screen result so far most of you believe it could trigger a new almost race opinion is split between those who think the pentagon's only speeding up deployment and as you say washington will compromise and agree to moscow's demands on the rest of you think that russia's objections will lead to europe saying no to the u.s. cost to vote at all g. don't come. as the euro zone's debt levels continue to hold high france and germany say they will propose changing treaties to improve financial governance in the region presents a cosy and chancellor merkel have been talking in stroudsburg where their meeting the newly appointed italian premier the leaders of also reaffirmed their commitment

to the single currency the idea of collective eurozone boring though is still a divisive issue championed by e.u. technocrats and paris but strongly opposed by the region's cash car. would help raise much needed capital for the nations but largely at germany's expense as its core inquests would rise investment adviser patrick young says the eurozone needs someone able to make executive decisions. if the problem is first of all to go back to what we always keep hammering on the boy we really need leadership mr barroso is trying to push forward this idea of your reforms amongst others alternately also germany either has to decide that it wants to be sickly take away the gold and through a lot of other members out of the euro zone club 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 bonds 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 if there is definitely a 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 was going to survive in any shape or form and hopefully that's going to be a calculus to see in our critique of leadership and might break of government and we will find a solution whether it's a collective euro bond or some other form of transfer that at least gets the market working again under laws countries to borrow this crisis is like a pandemic of financial panic nobody really think you see it 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 go wrote 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 much more cheaply than they can get it in their own right. patrick young there was one of those countries worst hit by the crisis portugal has received a vote of no confidence from ratings giant fitch lisbon's credit score was reduced to junk status which cited high debt levels and low growth despite a seventy eight billion euro bailout earlier this year this comes as the country has ground to a halt over twenty four hour strike workers have been tied to their jobs angry at the deep cuts and the government has imposed to balance the books air traffic controllers joined a protesting rights effectively grounding all flights in and out of lisbon's international airport as artist i mean there are reports more and more desperate portuguese are now seeking a better life abroad. now expects readers ready to go leave your home which has probably never been easier to take of my 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 legally and surprising answer may be to leave portugal's former colonies like brazil to present through and has been rather stable they had their national truth and then a massive record in the reconstruction process again so there are opportunities for a civil construction companies especially and a lot of what she's still a construction company is winter and they're currently very very happy and go maybe know something about any portuguese are starting to view it at least as a present day. an african country rich in diamonds in oil resources presents an appetizer an opportunity for a lot of people who have lost hope of finding a decent job at home remember out of all of you who ever i tell i'm moving abroad invariably says brilliant can you get my job two friends of mine asked me to take their c.v. . according to some reports around ninety thousand portuguese occurred really didn't call one compared with just ten thousand in two thousand to some goalkeeper

better income but most are simply looking for something something better than the ever worsening situation at home we simply i think salary is unfortunately are not the main reason and the main reason is the lack of help the communities in the portuguese markets due to the well to the crisis the mass exodus of portugal's young smart educated may portend the end of an era for the country a lot of specialized people were hired creation scientists brain drain as if you will call it that to go when we've brought in study abroad and there's just stay there and part of course we will most likely never recover those human assets like rita they hardly think twice before moving abroad it is aging work for a decent salary far outweighing any possible fear of flying it in those going t. was going. head to r.t. dot com for more on the debt crisis marching through the eurozone but across the
