these are the images. seeing from the streets of canada. giant corporations. schools in this election this is not correct it's wrong take the first day of parliamentary elections in egypt is met with collective gloom as many out of they see as illegitimate. american diplomats from washington to draw up a roadmap for the world's future while their respective war camps still basking in libyan success similar to syria and iran. and baring their anger to the world a group of you crazy and women make the show across europe in a series of naked protests against the abuse of women's rights. in business starts here as european the recession fears continue to dominate the markets commodities

are heading higher with the telling business that gold could reach two thousand dollars next year and twenty. two and welcome to r.t. your source of world news twenty four hours a day monday will see egypt taking a first step of a long parliamentary election which will last in stages until march the current leadership portrays it as a climax in the saga of national resistance and a solution to the crisis sentiment on the streets is quite the opposite but there's a growing skepticism on the vote democratic parties in the snow 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 we. are monitoring the election just to connect their mistakes and their frogs we had and our own no waiting for them all chris others are planning to boycott the ballot minya a protester at occupy cabinet says they are encouraging people not to vote trying to do with trying to call 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 a. scout for. 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. like to give into courts or something like for the people the kills i got shot in my eye like here but of course it's not that big of deal like other people got and now they are blind and more 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 they are politicians and they mean.

it when you hear this and this is not for that he would use. the power of the power that the people on talk rere have been fighting for on the streets. where people would love to have strong representation in the parliament. so i urge everybody who was always going to miss the election please don't do that but what egypt wants and what egypt gets so far proven to be two very different results that 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 three here is that the people running the country are no different from mubarak and they are thought to be very much running this vote reporting from cairo and he's now a party. but he says that to help you keep abreast of all the up to the minute developments in egypt twitter stream. tweets she says there's an ongoing page dedicated to stop

the sale of deadly gases gyptian. that's amid widespread reports that abandon potentially lethal chemical agents being used by us forces to disperse demonstrators he says. well coming up later today the gloves are off in crosstalk people of though grills his guests the role of western foreign policy in the arab spring you can see. seven thirty am g.m.t. here's 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. in. syria is also feeling the heat as 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 past 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 the measures include a suspension of flights to the country to blockade the bit central bank and enter all trade with the state the sheer breadth of the sanctions is drawing criticism with concern that ordinary people end up suffering the most sold is not itself forty as the voice of the. according to dr rania mastery of the university about him and their roots. in 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 our 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 protest and by hurricane protests that the government of the day and responded with through toiletry 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 supports of the repression so when you have these very calm trees 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 colonialists that were here. that are of the maybe the least of damascus is worries as representatives of the u.s. and europe gather in washington this costs a much harsher solution joint summit later today the two eyes are targeting syria and iran for the whole club is calling for regime change in one country

a preemptive strike on the other side he's going to try to kind of ports 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 fortify 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. in 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 iran 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 we'd 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. . for syria and iran won't be the only themes dominating the summit in washington as both america and the e.u. struggle to contain their respective economic crises the most urgent is europe's debt epidemic the center which is athens and speaking to r.t. greek m.p.c. says there's no telling what tomorrow holds for him battled union. fearful tomorrow we don't know what's coming next and i believe 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 would create 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 they can catch more mr cochran's thoughts on what went wrong in full interview next hour here in r.t. . 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 have been drawing eyes across europe as a ski found out these ukrainian activists have their sights set on new horizons. oh yes. on a chilly morning in key of half naked women in racing outfits drink champagne and
