welcome to r.t. your source of world news twenty four hours a day monday will see egypt taking a first step of a parliamentary election which will last in stages until march and while the current leadership portrays it as a climax in a saga of national resistance and a solution to the crisis sentiment on the streets is quite the opposite the people's demands still there's growing skepticism whether the vote will be fair and democratic parties and he said no way reports. we're told some adoptions are bracing for the worst medics are lined up and security is tight for egypt's first parliamentary election since the revolution the country's only female candidate for the presidency expects the vote to be void due to from want but sends this message to the supreme council of the armed forces or scaffold who took over after mubarak

we are as. movement. we are watching you. monitoring the election just the connect the mistakes and their products we had and our own good no waiting for democracy others are planning to boycott the ballot minya a protester at occupy cabinet says they are encouraging people not to vote trying to do we're trying to pull the people to come zone here so we would be a lot of people and nobody would vote and then they would know that these votes and this elections is not correct it's wrong how could you ask us to vote for a parliament which which you are building under you were in the scouts. the violent crackdown that swept over egypt just before elections seems to be pulling focus from the long awaited dream of democracy minya says if the vote goes through the

military will succeed in covering up the blood spilled who's gonna. like to get into courts or something like for the people the kills i got shot in my yard like here but of course it's not that big of deal like other people go now they're blind and a lot of them are did because of what happened was going to say when you were wrong the party likely to win a staunch number of seats is the muslim brotherhood considered a terrorist affiliated organization in some countries appears very popular here in egypt known for tight organization and a hard islamist line. also accused by some of wheeling and dealing with the military supreme council. politician and. that it when you hear this and this is not for that he would use. the power of power that the people on talk rere have been fighting for. would love to have

strong representation in the parliament. so i. was going to. do that but what egypt wants and what egypt gets has so far proven to be two very different results many egyptians feel the political parties on the ballot don't resent the people and even more so with their revolution one of the most common things you hear on top here is that the people running the country are no different from mubarak and they're thought to be very much running this vote reporting from cairo and he's now a party. when he says the rest of the minute developments in egypt twitter stream the latest tweet says there's an online page dedicated to stop the sale of deadly gases. to you it's. me for chemical agents it's being used by security forces to disperse demonstrators so

this. day the gloves are off and cross talk people of el grills his guests the role of western foreign policy in the arab spring you can see the food program. has a taste. we saw a year ago almost now that the turmoil in egypt which is now returning no democracy there obviously the americans or the west are waiting for a western friendly government to be imposed and this of course sucks up to the israeli situation so that the the border with gaza is controlled by the west and by israel so there's lots of problems and even the small country of kuwait has got a very hidden agenda there which we're not actually seeing in the media yet and of course the whole thing in syria we got another potential libya coming up here and

plans for it already in the arab countries to impose a no fly zone over syria where is this going to stop i should probably point out that this idea of a wide arab spring is a bit of an exaggeration considering even in bahrain or in any of the situations in which several. segments of the society have risen up and demanded some kind of civil rights. it. or syria is also feeling the heat has damascus now finds itself battered by a slew of new sanctions from the arab league it's seen as punishment for the country's failure to accept thousands of foreign observers tasked with reporting on the government's actions the sanctions are intended to completely isolate syria

which is mired in an armed conflict between pro and anti-government forces measures include a suspension of flights to the country a blockade of its central bank and an end to all trade with the state but the sheer breadth of the sanctions is drawing criticism of concern that ordinary people end up suffering the most as a result of the arab league has lost its authority as the voice of the arab people according to dr arnie and that's me university of maryland in beirut. the arab league is basically digging its own coffin here and it is publicly declaring that it has no more legitimacy in the arab world so 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 of 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 protest and beheading protests that the government of the day and

responded we threw toilet tea against a 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 a hurricane and supported the repression so when you have these very calm trees hear 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. for the hire of the maybe the star of the baskets as worries as representatives of the u.s. and europe are gathering in washington to discuss a much harsher solution i think joint summit later today the two allies will be targeting syria and iran the whole cannot be he's calling for regime change in one make a ton of discipline for the other as altie is going to teach or can reports the goals

are often seen as far from democratic. splitting the spoils of war in the middle east and north africa the u.s. and europe are meeting in washington searching for new ways to forty five their global position now with syria and iran on their plate here at the white house european leaders together with the u.s. president might be trying to turn political tensions around syria and iran into economic gain after all the decision on whether or not to meddle in a foreign country's affairs is never entirely selfless looking at the ranch for example a country with vast natural resources it's not hard to see the benefits in such a venture iran is the world's third largest oil exporter its seconding gas reserves the u.s. is not getting any of the rainy and oil europe on the other hand accounts for a significant part of iran's crude exports a year has severe energy problems there are

a huge net importer of better europe has recently stopped buying oil from syria it might stop buying crude from iran as well if the e.u. decides to impose an oil ban on the rand but analysts say it's not full long that the west would want to deprive themselves of middle eastern oil that would mean more oil more gas lower price of oil lower price of gas more steady supply. how to make it happen typically what they would like to do is make the population so you cannot make the measurable that they will seek to change the regime and the second way is to isolate the country from its neighbors to the point where you can safely without too many complications go in and simply attack iran and destroy the regime through destroying the country singe. the u.s. and the e.u. are trying to press the rands biggest trade partner china to do less business with tehran the u.s.

is now calling on pakistan to stop building a gas pipeline with iran isolation seems to be the strategy regime change the end game the benefits could be enormous get a check on our team washington d.c. . but syria and iran that won't be the only things dominating the summit in washington as both america and the e.u. struggle to contain their respective economic crises and europe's debt epidemic at the center of which lies are things speaking to r.t. greek and b.c. most critical says there's no telling what tomorrow holds for the embattled union. fearful tomorrow we don't know what's coming next and i believe that the whole of europe doesn't know what's coming next now everybody realizes that it's not just the greek problem it's a european problem it's the whole system that we have made up of the european union isn't working and this creates the problems that we see today we believe that the

germans must change their position they must realize it's for their own good also you know german economy without the european clients is not going to do very well. and you can catch much more of that on what went wrong in his full interview in about twenty minutes time here not. now a naked woman in the city's central square is bound to attract attention which is exactly what one protest group is hoping for a series of extravagant demonstrations against the abuse of women's rights i mean joining us is across europe next year a chef he found out he's ukrainian activists ready to brave new horizons. oh yes. on a chilly morning in key of half naked women in racing outfits drink champagne and chant
