this is r t and tonight from russia to love and alleged spy is allowed to stay in the u.k. after tribunals the sides are affair with the politician boss was gentle. the call rejects m i five claims can't use that to be had was a honeytrap with the lawyers say the case against it was based entirely on speculation conjecture and prejudice join me on bennett for the full details in just a moment. also a record turnout in egypt's first parliamentary call up the decades under mubarak rule with the second day of voting underway in the wake of violent protests. thousands so want to have their say in the future of the country but many boycott

the votes of the military rulers step down immediately how many for now in cairo with more details. and russia's new radar keeps watch on the country's western most border with strike forces plan if nato fails to guarantee its european missile shield isn't a against moscow. a.p.m. choose did i hear a moscow welcome you're watching r t with me kevin now in this hour and first tonight a case based on prejudice and conjecture lawyers for a russian woman suspected of spying have lashed out in britain security service for a panel over ruled a deportation order and said catch is a tool of can stay in britain she was accused of trying to siphon information

during an affair with a british m.p. she worked for his other ben it's been following the case in london. the cotton panel of three judges including a former head of the british security service ruled on balance of probability she was not and is not a russian spy but is not certainly not we need to reach this point she was arrested twelve months ago back in december last year on suspicion of being a spy and since then according to her lawyer she's been living a cash guest nightmare and she's been living under this very strict bail conditions the home secretary after her arrest a year ago said that she should be deported she was given the chance to contest that ruling but during that those whole proceedings she was never actually allowed to see or hear the evidence against her that the m i five said it had the m i five security service said it was too too sensitive in terms of national security for it to be made public cording to catch is that to me it is law is the m i five case against her was indeed based more on speculation than fact that crisis was built

entirely on speculation. and conjecture it with amateurs poorly with tragedy we hope that the government will look like very carefully on today's judgement which must raise serious confounds as to the standards of professionalism and competence stay within the security staff there she was accused of being used as a honey trap by the russians intelligence services tapped up from the time in some petersburg where she studied international relations and specifically targeted british member of parliament in order to gain access to top secret documents how the man in question was my can call a member of parliament and also he who had a seat on the parliamentary select committee for defense and also russia that we do know also that they had an affair for four years and also we do know that she was working for him as his research in poland so potentially had access to these documents but that's about all we know so in terms of concrete proof and concrete evidence that's about all we heard so her defense the bulk of it throughout the

hearing was to try and show that her relationship with mike hancock was indeed a genuine one. even though he was three times her age and actually the court in its ruling did actually say that it decided that relationship with him was in june and genuine on both sides and of course those three judges who did hear the evidence behind closed doors they also said that we have seen nothing which satisfies us that she was recruited as an agent always task acted as one and very much convinced on balance that she wasn't a spy and therefore has been allowed to remain in britain and will not be deported across one of the of a baronet there in london crowds lining up for a second day to vote in egypt's landmark elections protesters on tahrir square are boycotting the polls that they believe are unfair they fear the military rulers who replaced president mubarak in february will stay in power regardless of his innocence now is following the ballot for us in cairo. that really seems like a gypsy is our split into two camps and very simply outlined how they feel about

this election and you have the group that is flat out boycotting this vote because they say the military rulers are still very much in charge it's them who came up with this system of voting they will essentially be the top people monitoring these votes and then you have the camp of people who don't agree of course with the military rulers especially in light of that crackdown that we saw just ahead of this vote but they feel like if they don't come out to have their say that they would be essentially giving up giving up the months that protests are spent on talk we're square trying to bring change to egypt so really a split of opinion like i said and really some some long lines of people very excited about coming out to be able to vote a lot of people are voting here for the first time in their lives and it almost seems as if they're not really thinking so much about whether this will be a valid election what the results will be for them what's important is that this vote is taking place there have been some minor violations the most common that we heard were counted it's coming up to actual polling stations and campaigning up

into the end on twitter you could read about some people actually trying to go into the booths would people be heard of some minor i don't think you can even call them clashes but fights that happened at polling stations with people understanding that this was wrong that themselves this was a flat out violation we also heard of some parties actually setting up booths if you will with laptops trying to help voters because what we're hearing is that the system that was created is quite complicated and a lot of people came to the polling station and didn't actually understand how it all works but really in light of the violence that we've saw some very minor violations still it's relatively calm here of course no security situations but people are very aware that anything could happen at any moment and you really can sense that in the year along with that excitement about this first vote how can we tell if this vote is fair well first of all it's only the first round of this parliamentary election in fact the parliament will go into said. until sometime in march also not even the whole country is voting in this first round it's selected

by districts in cities so a lot more of the country has has their say and with the situation with these military rulers and powers no one knows what will happen between these rounds of elections just before these elections whether this is clamped down have been on top three or there were actually that many protesters when they came in actually excited to disperse protesters but that action brought hundreds of thousands of people onto the street when we saw ten days of violence you really never know what will happen this is the first round it is being praised as being so far pretty successful but anything can change here at any moment and egyptians are very aware of that. what is in this in our correspondent in cairo bringing you the latest russia's assessment of the cause of the syrian unrest points the finger of blame firmly at an armed opposition foreign minister sergei lavrov also says it's time now to stop dealing ultimatums and get back to peace talks and you an investigation earlier stated that syrian forces had committed crimes against humanity in the

brutal treatment of anti-government demonstrators almost four thousand people have been killed after months of unrest the times tightening the economic screws on the syrian regime and its considering now an arms embargo something that moscow strongly opposes this group split on this one with peter i get his thoughts he's the middle east consultants on the line from birmingham the u.k. peter very good to see you tonight at do you believe these further sanctions are being talked about much help from the western states to end what we're seeing this ongoing violence in syria. no certainly not i feel any sanctions that are imposed obviously the people of syria are the ultimate victims but i don't think it's going to alter what is panning out in syria at the moment what we have here is the ultimate the sort of tip of the iceberg on the arab spring which is over influence by western infiltrating into syria so when the international court of justice or the un or geneva start pointing fingers at the regime within

syria they've got to understand that a lot of that trouble is is flared up from the western side we we know now that the french are training the militia both on the turkish side of the border and also in lebanon so they're very much involved and they're just intimidating the situation a lot of people are being killed are actually being killed by special forces cia must add or whatever so what you see what you hear is really it's like a shakespearean play the actors are obama cameron. clinton and william hague who are very bad it play acting and the truth really is coming out through statements like you solve press t.v. and now to syria whatever why would we have to go to the to the middle east to learn the truth this this is all a full sure more picking up on what you're saying there reiterating russia's view the the armed opposition is mostly behind the rest so that's the case why do you

think europe and the u.s. is focusing soley on the assad regime itself is again as you say it's a skewed way of looking at it it isn't. well as i said on your program once before and on other programs you've got to understand this this crisis was planned back in ninety seven by paul wall for bitch and it was carried on again after nine eleven when general clark the ex supreme commander in nato europe actually was privy to a very confidential document that said the pentagon the u.s. military were going to take over seven countries syria was part of that plan and that is panning out now you've got to understand that the cold war is never finished. the crusades have never finished and so much for the arab league you talk about the union of the islam movement they're supposed to be brothers and sisters they turned their back their counterparts in the balkans they turned their backs on

iraq afghanistan in two thousand and six lebanon in garza two thousand and eight and nine and totally turned their back on libya they're doing the same game again you've got to understand that the arab league is a puppet to america a puppet to united nations all being a puppet of the new world order is it too late for talk then i mean russia's rich rated calls again for syria the dialogue and reforms is that too late. i think it is it's like the palestinian israel situation you've got to understand as well that at the top of all this is a very strong zionist implication control the politics of america in the u.k. and in europe and they're actually playing the cards because those people that from the politicians so it's going to be a one sided game i think we're beyond dialogue and it's obviously showing exactly the same trend libya the french are on about forming a humanitarian corridor or you've heard all this before now war crimes what about

the war crimes from the west blasting libya and all these other countries with depleted uranium killing a million people in iraq c'mon where's this going to end peter is a complicated troubling picture you paint the middle east consultant talking to his producer thought from burning and thanks be on the program thank you kevin so much more ahead for you as well on this channel time's running out for europe to save its single currency while brussels hustles for a solution we report from the euro zone's third largest economy is dire straits of increasingly bridge no from beijing interesting story coming out. first though russia can keep a close eye on europe and the atlantic area with a new radar at its western most region the baltic kaliningrad between the three waning and poland flicking the arms which president medvedev said it could be more than just a response to nato as missile shield in europe is an italian overcover reports.

russia sees installing this radio location system here as an adequate response to nato is planned to deploy an anti-missile defense shield in europe which russia sees as a threat to its national security and has been saying that. the reason for it to the deployment of the a.m.d. to europe is in fact to be able to defend from potential nuclear threats coming from iran and north korea however the m.v. shields will be covering a large part of russian territory so russia does see it as a threat and what glottal wants right now is for nato to present its legal reason down proves that the entire missile defense shield is not posing a threat to its national security. issue. of spoken assurances are not enough when we hear that european missile defense is not against you i want to say friends that the radar that came online today is also not against you but it is for you to

tackle the issues we're facing today but if your signal is not heard we will deploy other defense systems including tough countermeasures deploying strike systems bonded further measures could include russia deploying strike systems school is scanned along the russian border if nature fails to hear russia's position and the worst case scenario would be of course for russia to pull out from the strategic arms reduction treaty that signs with the united states this would seriously damage the reset of relations between russia and the u.s. that's the treaty symbolized when it was signed this is not the kind of scenario that's present be good if wants to pursue he says that russia is still open for negotiations with nato and that's this particular radio location system could be used both for the benefit of russia and nato if the two come to an agreement. protesters in the iranian capital stalled the united kingdom embassy. during an
