pm on saturday here in moscow this is twenty four hour life with me rule research egyptian officials say turnout for the opening round of parliamentary elections has been the highest in the country since quote the time of the pharaohs the official results are still being delayed for predictions of the lead to the islamist muslim brotherhood party to more election stages are now set to be held by january. as the latest. well we're going for the military council record results will be announced today saturday but this is the third time that such an announcement has been made those events from results with are supposed to be given on the way in state we also know if you're hearing from the commission that the voter turnout they gave that stood at sixty two percent which suggested that more than eight million people turned out that that figure is under review off to some questions were raised about
9:02 am
irregularities and the way that the epicenter of sixty two was actually reached so we might actually here later today that the voter turnout is significant. we haven't yet heard the results of the political parties who stood in these elections but there has been a lot of talk a lot of initial exit polls and a lot of rumors that has been badly developed it does seem as if the muslim brotherhood's political party the freedom and justice party will come first with a standing off between forty to fifty five percent and in second position is likely to be ultra conservative enough is. the latest figures need have put that at some thirty to thirty five percent now this is a group that has said that it will push for stricter controls in the parliament there and of course how much power the parliament at the end of the day is given this is in line with the trend we've been witnessing across who pass the care of that in recent days has seen as an honest parties coming to the fore now what is significant about these results particular is that the voting at this stage was
9:03 am
done mostly in urban areas particularly from in cairo and in that xander so when islamist parties have such a strong showing in urban cities it does fit the stage that in the next two phases of these voting the islamists will merely continue to do as well because their hold and their popularity in those kind of areas is much higher it also sets the stage for a coalition to be formed with a significant majority in parliament to come form isn't on this policies not the next week we'll see the second phase of voting this is. you know what house of parliament the third phase will be in january and then they will be voting for the upper house of parliament so be there is a significant number of objects and who are against these it makes sense most of them have been taken to the streets of the past two weeks and months earlier this year they say that these votes all go they say that they did not change real reality on the ground and the writing core you tell your square does remain the same and that is for the military to step down immediately the consumer mongst
9:04 am
these egyptians is that it doesn't really matter whether you hold elections or whether you change the face of the government it is still the military who are pulling the strings behind the scenes now today saturday we do expect the announcement of the new cabinet that is being formed by the new prime minister come out all guns a week he has already named some of the cabinet at least a dozen ministers one of whom are actually ministers from the previous regime in the same portfolios this includes the same foreign minister it includes the same information minister and while they will be new remains who will be forming part of this government the fact that such a significant majority remain part of the previous government is just merely more ammunition for protesters in tahrir square who say that nothing is changing. his policy reporting right there and i was monitoring the situation in cairo and you can follow her on her twitter feed we have a look right now the latest twitter reports that hundreds continue the. square

9:06 am
a mile from the outset the message which has been set up from some quarters capitals is there is no way they can help those who go into dialogue we should stop it immediately that there is no future in the arab league initiative we believe that this is something very counterproductive and this is something which has exacerbated the situation in syria the international community is not there to smell blood and to found confrontation but the international community is there to prevent further bloodshed and to encourage it. this is what the united nations is about this is what the security council is about syria's main opposition group has vowed to cut ties with iran hezbollah and hamas if the government goes professor your hand gul tung the director of the transcend peace university he told us here at r.t. that the agenda goes very well with the regional interests of some other countries
