well with. its technology innovation all the developments around russia we've got the future covered. this is the weekly from our team tonight in turmoil the most violent clashes since the egyptian revolution during the week of protests with growing calls for military rulers to go ahead of monday's election. from defiance to defendant colonel gadhafi as most influential son will stand trial in libya despite concerns that you dish will system is a shambles and a fair trial is not possible. russia gets over the planned u.s. missile shield in eastern europe as president but warns of deploying strike systems unless moscow is assured it is not a target. putin is formally selected as the ruling united russia party

candidate to run for president next year. welcome this is r.t. it's now eleven pm here in moscow watching the weekly with me kevin now in our round up of the top stories of the last seven days and we start in egypt where the military leader there's one of grave consequences if the crisis doesn't end it comes just a day before the country's first parliamentary election since the fall of hosni mubarak the muslim brotherhood branded a terrorist movement but some countries claims it's set to win the majority of seats now he's in this in our he's got the latest from tahrir square. but when you talk to people here on talk to or about the muslim brotherhood most of them talk about it as their revolution being hijacked because the organization is very well organized itself they claim that they're going to win some forty percent of the

votes on monday's election and their movement really use this revolution to mobilize people here on the square angry about that and in fact some analysts that we've been speaking to from around the globe feel that if they do come into power there's a very big chance of that but it could serve as a pretext for some kind of similar nato mission here in egypt as we saw perhaps in libya if the people fight them in the people for the media and they off a very popular. of course if that was to happen then you could see in a few years time. all the british press western press talking about how awful the regime is there how dangerous it is and then you're back to a situation again with discussions about nato airstrikes against egypt and then of course there's the news that the former head of the u.n. nuclear watchdog mohamed el baradei is really going to give up his name on the ballot for the presidential elections and take over and one emergency government

here in egypt people here on top here very supportive of that so in terms of the popularity of the muslim brotherhood in the support for all barrett i'm back would be another situation where we see some kind of tension or clashes between those two factions there's a sense now that anything can happen at any moment it is fairly quiet we're expecting a much bigger marts throughout sunday and then into monday what happened here over the past week has really changed the game here. people are furious and one september there were protests and people were still saying that nothing has changed the staff is just like mubarak people are still in positions and egypt has not seen its promise of democracy people now are marching more determined to make things change and that's going to play into elections tomorrow in the sense of the security situation a lot of people are going to not vote not just because they feel like it's useless because they're afraid that it might be too dangerous to go to the polls. and this

is now either in cairo she's also covering the latest developments in tahrir square on twitter as well as you'd expect and this is a writing flatly that medical personnel and ambulances are gathering in the square in case violence breaks out on the course of the parliamentary vote which will be following closely tomorrow you can follow her for more updates on this is twitter tags on stream right now. it's not just egypt's fate has been decided in cairo but syria's future as well arab league members have in the past couple of hours approved unprecedented economic sanctions against the massacres over its crackdown on protesters the measures were voted for by nineteen out of twenty two nations and they include a travel ban on senior officials freezing deals with the syrian central bank and suspending flights into the country damascus is already condemned the move as a patrol of arab solidarity that's running a mass through to the university of the mount in beirut told me earlier that such i'm president of action against an arab country by the league discredits the organization itself. the arab league is basically digging its own coffin here and

it is publicly declaring that it has no more legitimacy in the our world it is no longer speaking for the arab people are representing are of interest in any way whatsoever when we look at who is really pushing for these decisions within the arab league we see it's primarily being led by the g.c.c. the gulf countries particularly qatar and saudi arabia and when we look at the credibility of these countries i mean that if you want to take one example when we had mass protests in bahrain protests that the government of bahrain responded with brutality against protest in which the people were asking for democracy and reform as is their legitimate right the g.c.c. countries did not ask for sanctions against the bahamian government for the suppression rather they introduced their own armed forces into bahrain and supported the repression so when you have these very countries here themselves condemning repression committed by another arab country they like any credibility to call for that so again what is this arab league it's not it's another farce it's

another joke about that was imposed upon the arab world by the former colonialist that were here. if you force brought this in either of our website or ask you if you believe there is a need to set up this humanitarian corridor france is calling for of syria this is what you're telling us you have a world with giora t. say a mission like this would be just another name for regime change thirty percent it would be time figures along with the jew living percent so the west simply has no money for it the minority there get three percent leave the situation really is about by that stage. it's a place to have your say. it libya moammar gadhafi son of one time heir apparent saif al islam awaits trial for war crimes court gave in to the new libyan rulers demands this last week that he should be tried on home soil instead of the hague that's despite warnings that a further trial is unlikely because the country's judicial system is in disarray as it is over bennett found. say feliz long get

daffy he's a man with a lot to say he's the last chance the world has to know how the get the happy regime turned from public enemy number one to bosom buddies with britain and the other western powers but the international criminal court in the hague says it's not going to extradite him allowing libya to try him instead with libyan officials already calling for the death penalty many fear it's a tactic to keep those dirty secrets hidden forever that's a controlled forum where the the western interests look at look at what happened with the trial of of it you can be sure that the information that the khadafi family has about the relationships between could offer you in the studio over decades will not come out safe good that he was his father's right hand man the crucial mediating go between with the west he enjoyed a playboy lifestyle in london counting tony blair peter mandelson and prince andrew amongst his pals there are even reports he was entertained at buckingham palace

this is where safety that he was given a place to study i want to london's top universities because even invited back here to give a speech as recent as last year is introduced by his old professor as someone who looks to democracy civil society and liberal values for the core of his inspiration a far cry from the good that his previous role as international pariah is libya's oil wealth meant it had a lot to give some details of what britain won in return have already emerged safe get their fees album art it was given one and a half million pounds by his charitable foundation as part of a deal to educate hundreds of libya's future civil servants and it wasn't just britain according to get daffy libya funded nicolas sarkozy's path to the presidency but they get that he's fall from favor was sudden and spectacular according to safe their former friends have been trying. and to cover up any links since turning against them desperate to stave off

a trial at the international criminal court. and that is what they are trying to negotiate with us a deal to get of this the we will take care of the court what does it mean that means is the court is controlled by those countries. which attack us but then i don't think it's going to be in anyone's interest for this to come out of the new government in maybe one blood that's my reading of it europe wants silence and wants to do is move on a chapter because of course the hypocrisy in the double dealing of europe with the one hand condemning human rights abuses rather limited kind of way the same time deporting gadhafi as enemies back to libya who were tortured almost at the very point when tony blair was meeting gadhafi in the tent so i think there's an awful lot of truths that ought to come out and i really doubt it will. serve.

libya insists it's capable of giving a fair trial despite its judicial system not being independent for over forty years is still unclear where safe good that he will be trying to rival ruling factions of fighting over who gets to exact revenge with the death penalty likely it seems safe to death and his secrets will be silenced either bennett artsy london ahead in the program the. same brussels say the euro's crisis is taking its toll on everyone including their. what raises eyebrows is the fact that they're complaining at a time when millions of you citizens are bearing the brunt of course of a sturdy measures imposed by the very same institutions they work for we look at what's maybe e.u. commission as unhappy and compare the scale of their hardship with that of the ordinary citizens of europe's debt crippled nations also coming out fear what to expect next summer rather than the islamic republic severs diplomatic ties with

britain we look at how further international pressure on. may that's coming up to. russia's president sent a strong signal to nato countries this last week over their planned european missile defense shield the meter or better said if it goes ahead without guaranteeing russia safety moscow set to deploy this sells although he says the door for dialogue remains open hearted peter all of us got the story. hope on hold of the years of talks surrounding the united states proposed missile shield in eastern europe russia says the u.s. still won't give adequate assurances over who will be targeted prompting stern words from president made yet of. other measures are insufficient russia will deploy a contemporary strike systems in the west and south in order to prevent fire damage from u.s. missile systems deployed in europe the deployment of the is going to missile system in the coming ground region will be one such step. there is also the possibility

this could derail the landmark nuclear disarmament process agreed to by russia and the u.s. . but got to give me an extra couple link between strategic offensive and defensive weapons reasons could emerge from russia's withdrawal from the strategic arms reduction treaty this is a vision within the content of the treaty rusher in the united states had hoped to reset relations between the years adrift during the bush administration remarks from president obama in two thousand and nine led to optimism that the missile defense program would be scaled down but the united states now plans to increase the amount of countries which will place missile defense systems all of those nations are in russia's backyard going against assurances from washington that they would do no such thing a move that political analysts say is a game of brinksmanship with a potentially devastating outcome once one side has missile defense playing courage that sidetracked to a launch a first strike so this kind of movement these kinds of threats actually increase

the chance of a no clear war washington maintains that it shield would protect against nuclear attack from so-called rogue states like iran those following the systems development believe it only ever had one target the american version it's directed against iran which is completely absurd every joke all it's a collateral is no this is directed against russia and this is not the obama administration this is a pentagon program there are also those who lay the blame for escalating this situation at the door of weapons manufacturers but i think it's being driven by the the military industrial complex and the united states that's getting billions of dollars in contracts to build these missiles the irony is that we have professors like at mit ted postol on the red military people that. say it could never actually

work stresses that russia remains open to dialogue with the united states and nato over missile defense issues but if that dialogue is to take place then a clear legal framework must exist saying who is the real target peter all of a r.t. moscow to do a putin's officially been chosen as the candidate to represent russia's biggest political party at next year's presidential election at the united russia convention here in moscow the prime minister outlined the direction he'd like to take if the elected next march is a country and groucho voice at the conference now with some vision. general run to seek reelection as president in this country in several months from now he had been russia's president for two terms from two thousand to two thousand and eight according to the constitution one cannot keep the top job for three terms in a row but should let him as we do in the upcoming presidential vote will be the first leader in modern russia to keep this post for six years today in his speech

he was talking about the way the election process is going on in this country he said that some of the criticism from the opposition is justified but he also warned the meaning specially when we're on the west end he said that in the first place elections in this country is a domestic affair of. i know that representatives of some foreign states pay money to so-called receivers of grants and instruct them how to do certain activities to influence the election campaign in the country in the long run it is as people say a waste of time and a waste of money firstly because judas is not the most respected character in the bible and secondly they should rather channel this money into settling their state debt and cut short an effective and costly foreign policy our foreign partners will be better to unite their efforts with us to fight against the challenges and threat to the modern world. many described as upcoming sunday's parliamentary elections

has at least asked for promiscuous popularity in this country the most recent public opinion polls show that united russia remains number one party in this country they were fifty three percent of the motor supporting the party while opposition meanwhile claims that he made a rush of the party's popularity is dropping steadily and that set me up coming though it is lining up to be one of its morris performances ever in prime minister vladimir putin acknowledged that problems do exist in the united russia party but he also warned that a defeat of the ruling party would mean that the country would blunder into an economic crisis similar to the crisis which has gripped the whole of europe now and he said that it was only thanks to the united russia's majority in the last elections that russia survived the economic crisis of two thousand and eight and two thousand and nine. from the university of london believes putin can bring stability and protect the country's interests if you look back to two thousand

russia was in crisis because of the mad nine hundred ninety s. and putin gave russia's stability and to give it respect and that was very very important during the period he was president in two thousand and eight he gradually became harder and he fell out with practically everyone he represents if you like russian nationalists lines the outside world doesn't really like that russia is enormously rich and i did call them. this will give russia a seat at the top table they are told the world is rather nervous about that especially the united states the european union because at this time there are very weak they are weaker than the bins and twenty forty five so therefore russia at present it has a strong leader and putin is probably going to be in a position to drive russia rushing forward and. arrange certain things according to russia's interest. briefly check your article dot com tonight so we

find out how america's black friday left one shopper black and blue a grandfather wrestled to the foot by co-opting that bloodied in front of his young grandson he was use a cute of shoplifting during the annual spread big spree that song line also. everything here stormfront we are staying the course we are from the land we travel to gaza to explore how palestinians say they refused to be told. by israel. it's been another tough week for the european union with italy's borrowing costs reaching record highs well above the levels that triggered meltdown in other e.u. nations the shock news pushed the euro to a seven week low ratings agencies have also downgraded hungary portugal and belgium

and number of a tally and banks were also dealt a ratings blow as e.u. leaders pledged even more cuts to combat the crisis but for the euro kraut capital of brussels leading by example doesn't seem to be a popular idea right now as test for eighty five. this is become a familiar sight in the streets of europe symptomatic of the euro crisis and now it seems that the tide of discontent is rising within the plush walls of the vast european commission bureaucracy the. staff unions are threatening to go on strike after rejecting a proposal by the commission or the e.u. civil service to save a one billion euros over seven years by reducing pensions increasing working hours from thirty seven point five to forty a week raising the retirement age limiting pay rises and cutting five percent of jobs but you know they get one point. it's a right. and they say it's

a union representing lower paid staff says the media tends to lump them with the fat cats who get most of the e.u. gravy train he wants the highest salaries of those at the top to be slashed instead the commissioners have privileges which in the normal stopped in time. do not contribute to their pensions we pay eleven point six percent and they do not contribute anything but some politicians are astonished at the notion of a strike by officials they claim are featherbed it while ordinary workers are losing their jobs and face hardship they get excellent health care free education for their children to private schools here wonderful pension deal and you wonder people listening to this at home looking or. perhaps earning working ten hours a day these guys are grumbling because they're being asked to work eight hours a day while they're perfectly within their rights to contest the proposed changes to their working conditions what raises eyebrows is the fact that they're complaining at a time when millions of e.u.

citizens are bearing the brunt of harsh sturdy measures imposed by the very same institutions they work for not to mention the twenty three million who don't even have jobs to speak of to remove one or two perks to suggest that perhaps they take a slightly lower percentage increase is hardly going to bring the world to an end still union members are adamant they're getting the short end of the stick. you know putting everything on the shoulders of the secretaries we think that the salary we got is much too high and we would like to close that gap. many of us would be ready to pay for it but whether european taxpayer share the same willingness to sustain the benefits of their civil servants in brussels at a time when they themselves are forced to accept a steady measures is another question tesser cilia r.t. brussels. and there's a huge bureaucratic rush to protect their pay renewed protests erupted in portugal

one of the first to you states to feel the full force of austerity for the country transport of public services were paralyzed and thousands rallied against get more cuts the struggle to get it if the cuts continue portugal said to sink even further investment advisor patrick says brussels decision makers admit it's not a make or break for the eurozone. right now and 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 really is going to survive in any shape or form this crisis is like a pound of financial panic because ultimately you have individuals who are managing pension funds for yourself or myself all over the world and when they wake up in the morning and they've got to go and do something with our money for the next five or ten years ultimately they're their most important facet right now is to keep that money safe and as i'm sure you can appreciate nobody really feel you see if in

the euro zone germany either has to decide that it wants to basically take away the ball 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 where greece has been relying on international cash injections for well over a year now of course in its finance minister unless still says his country's finances are in water all day next he talks to the man who exposed the country's debt disaster he says greeks have been offered no options other than painful austerity measures. the block me every day they're saying to them that look if you don't accept what the europeans are saying if you don't accept if their demands are imposed by the government then baby i am and. it will be it's

every day blackmailed so they are afraid. iran's parliament approved the cutting of diplomatic ties with britain they're withdrawing their ambassador from london the decision comes less than a week after the u.k. bad its financial institutions from doing business with it was part of a new wave of sanctions the western countries including the us imposed on iran over its alleged nuclear weapons program but there are fears that such punishing measures will provoke around. all the signs are looking exactly like they looked in the period of two thousand and one to two dozen three here in the us with this you know drumbeat of hysteria and the weapons of mass destruction if you really want to get a country to get a nuclear weapon then just keep threatening it with attack the sanctions will probably have a negative effect on the us goals of trying to drive

a wedge between people and their government i think what you'll see in iran is probably something similar with the rallying by people to their government and to the you know nationalistic feelings when they're under attack from countries like the united states and israel. brother world in brief yemen's got a new prime minister opposition leader mohammed by sidwell was appointed by the vice president on sunday but saw through the outgoing yemeni leader. who ruled the country for thirty three years struck a deal with the opposition in a bid to end ten months of deadly unrest despite this violence continues to claim lives with twenty people killed and dozens injured in clashes of more time for just this week there. people in pakistan a venting their anger over many tools admission that the coalition helicopter was responsible for killing twenty eight pakistani troops dead pakistani soldiers have been buried in push our other ceremony attended by senior officials including the army chief in response the country's authorities are demanding that the u.s.
