to have you with this international news and comment around the clock around the world this is. egyptian officials say turnout for the opening round of parliamentary elections has been the highest in the country since the pharoahs efficient results are still being delayed but predictions give the lead to the islamist muslim brotherhood party as cross live now to paula severe poll of the official results aren't in yet but what can we expect at this stage. well we have received results of individual candidates because these were elections in which people were voting for both individual candidates as well as political parties and in this respect only four out of fifty three members of parliament have been officially elected the remaining were unable to receive the more than fifty percent threshold that they needed and in this respect there will be

a runoff come monday and tuesday next week but in terms of the political parties still no confirmation although we are hearing reports in these parts of the muslim brotherhood in a comfortable first position with more than fifty percent of the votes now the brotherhood has gone so far as to call on of why to accept what is the will of the people the surprise of these elections has been the strong showing of the salafist group it is expected that it could get as much as a quarter of the seats in parliament this would put it in a very poll for position to influence the debate and the discussion at a parliamentary level now this is the first time that a salafist group has registered as a political party in the past it has been accused of insanity sic tarion strife against egypt's minority christian community now we are hearing reaction from this role it has called these developments to quote the israeli government very very

disturbing the israeli defense minister says that he hopes an injury here to international treaties that it has signed in the past particularly the now shaking nine hundred seventy nine peace treaty with israel the muslim brotherhood has always been to this peace treaty it has close ties with one must and in this respect and mass has issued a statement on its website commending the egyptian people for what it says is clearly showing support for islam as the killer so people are still protesting on top here square one of these showing. well the rallying call in talking square remains much the same as it has been for weeks now and that is that people there simply do not believe the commitment of the promise by the government and the military the military is saying that it will step down once a new parliament is in place next year and it has to this end of point in a new government and they come out on guns only now we were expecting that guns required would finish announcing his new government today this is what we heard

from him it has not yet happened but after they were leaks to the media in terms of who would be making up some of those positions in the new government we're now hearing that he's reconsidering some of those positions because many of them seem to be faces and names from the old regime and this just reinforces what people in tahrir square are saying and that is that the military is not genuine about wanting to hand over power in the long run now and this have been warning not to read too much into these elections it's still not clear exactly how this new parliamentary will be structured how much power it will have and it's certainly not clear how much power the military in the long run is prepared to handle for thanks very much indeed for that update live. on the human u.n. human rights council as possible solution condemning violations committed by the syrian authorities the document appoints a special investigator to the thing to the government's abuses during the uprising which has gone on for months and calls for the main u.n.

bodies to take action russia and china voted against the resolution saying it might lead to a foreign intervention under the pretext of human rights both moscow and beijing believe the motion ignores crimes committed by the rebels will only aggravate the crisis. we think that it is the role of the international community to help resolve the internal crisis. promoting dialogue what we don't understand is that. further that can be done in yemen that cannot apply to shoot some. well from the outset the message which has been set up from some quarters capitals is there is no way dialogue can help those who go into dialogue they 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 encourage what this is what the united nations is about this is what the security council is about. well syria's main opposition group has vowed to cut ties with iran hezbollah and hamas if the current government goes professor you have gotten the rector of the trans and peace university told r.t. that that agenda goes very well with the regional interests of some other countries the western intend this of course to split of syria completely from any rain and connection as they see it in yemen the west is with the leadership and against the opposition. in syria there with the opposition and against the leadership cutting it much too sharp so it's a question where the big boys out the big boys which group and the big boys citing the big west advice and so typical of the there is libya being played again we have

heard that tune before that would probably cost much more and more many more civilians than the lives that will protect and it will set the tone for a war that will go on for a long time zante committee live from moscow still to come this hour. unemployment falls in the us a sign of recovery or massaging the figures. these are real jobs this is a plantation economy. we look at whether the recent drop in joblessness reflects the real state of things in the american economy. class or investigate how the russian speaking community in the former soviet republic of a stoner is falling victim to what they call a language inquisition often losing jobs for speaking their native tongue. their stories still to come first in britain an article of the human rights act ensures the right to a family life for those who live there but what sounds fair on paper is being used

in reality by criminals because they can overturn decisions to deport them for their offenses by using the legal loophole that allows them to stay on these laws smith explains. the rights to our family life is not an absolute right and it must not be used to drive a coach and horses through our immigration system. article eight an innocuous sounding element in the human rights act but which means having children can stop illegal immigrants being kicked out of britain no matter what they've done pull houston knows what it's like to have your family destroyed his twelve year old daughter amy was killed in a hit and run by an iraqi who was banned from driving as she was crossing the road mr. the driver of the car the runner or. encourage on the corridor on the apollo the car and. she became trapped under the wheels of the car and.

he basically for seeing a little guy trapped under the wheels in the water car amy's killer asso mohammed ibrahim already had a string of minor convictions even before he moved her down and fled but because he subsequently fall of the two children by a british woman he still lives in the u.k. it's article eight that keeps him here oddly enough it was one of these that catapulted the issue into the headlines the home secretary seizing on claims that an illegal bolivian was allowed to stay in this country because of the emotional trauma of separating him from his pet not quite true but it got people talking and noticing much more serious cases including a rapist who successfully argued asylum over his social life and a killer who lived with his parents. in may this year it was revealed that nearly four thousand foreign criminals were set free from detention centers because it was

decided they couldn't be deported within a reasonable time among them dozens of rapists murderers and paedophiles separately last year nearly six hundred people use the human rights act to avoid deportation the vast majority citing the rights to a private and family life in the case of amy's killer a series of bungles and delays by the authorities meant that by the time eva haim came up for deportation he appeared to have created a family despite flimsy evidence about his parenting intentions he was allowed to stay yet she would rights campaigners argue britain's status as a haven for the persecuted is sacred these are very hard back hundreds of years they're they're embedded in international law you know the real torch is in the aftermath of the second world war so make sure that we always in a very early into sight and suppose that we help here through

a grieving father like pull that's missing the point what we have a special we are human rights act we have criminals terrorists. drug dealers oh you silly human rights acts as a shield to hide behind. contra. i haven't got a problem with the genuine asylum seekers about some kind of body heart but what we don't want to say is we don't see people abuse and what's wrong i think not what needs to be addressed amy was pulls only child he now lives alone spending his time campaigning against article eight and wondering why the rights of his daughter's immigrant killer outweigh his own laura smith r.t. . remember you can always find more stories on our website r t v dot com let's see what's lined up there right now packing in helping out you can find out how to

you can watch our special report later but here is a brief preview for you. i had to go through a ten year old boy. we train them how to. develop the orders for them so. we never explain to them why it's ok. most people at the point of looking down in time to pull the trigger became conscientious objectors. i don't remember squeezing the trigger i don't remember seeing him go down well i remember is that we shot him. the other side are soldiers too and soldiers do the song and they're trying to kill us we're trying to kill them and that's just the ugly face of war just.

nothing honorable and. i went to the war zone and i started seeing how i need to change. in the only way to do their bit of a rival and kill another person that's why i'm applying for jobs. and that full report coming up later here in alla t. over two decades since the collapse of the soviet union the russian language is coming under pressure in a stone year it used to be an official language there but a sense faced down by the authorities the vast russian community is now worried that they will be forced to favor a stone in over their native tongue. has more. a russian speaking fisherman catches a magic fish it promises to fulfill all his wishes in

a stone ian but he does not understand the language and he dumps it this social ad urges the russian minority in the stonier to learn estonian in a rather amusing fashion the reality is no joke at all. old state officials are obliged to know the estonian language in the course of their work this is written in our language law it also applies to people working in the majority of public services. just like other post soviet baltic states estonia has its own language inspection the body which oversees how the language law is being observed at times laying it down quite harshly the language inspection has the legal right to conduct spontaneous checks on anyone working in any sphere and should a person fail this story in a language exam the body may then initiate the sacking of this employee human right activists say this has turned a language inspection into

a punitive body. it is not that they have nothing to say it's just that they believe their voices are being silenced estonia's three hundred thousand strong russian minority has been protesting at what they describe as the language inquisition some of these people either lost their jobs or are on their threat of doing so because they are forbidden from speaking their native language soon if you're sort of the so often cursed soviet power never applied any restrictions on languages the stoniest were free to educate in their language nowadays the authorities have almost banned the russian language from schools besides some russian communities don't have qualified teachers who can teach physics or chemistry in a stone ian in the latest twist five workers at an orphanage were fired for not being able to speak a story into the children that's in a town where ninety six percent of the population are ethnic russians. i don't want to sound rude but as long as we leave in this country we have to leave by the lord

and i fired those people because they had been warned but did nothing cumin rights activists acknowledge the rule of the law but stress that in the language case it is not applied properly because a couple law doesn't put any difference between narva we're almost everyone sees russian as their native language and other parts where most of the people speak a stone ian and with such disproportion we can talk of direct language discrimination and direct ethnic discrimination because activists in another baltic states a lot of you have been gathering signatures and holding a referendum to make russian the second state language and many say they have a strong chance of pushing it through as stony despite being criticised by amnesty international for its language policy is adamant and it seems the russian minority would not catch the magic fish granting their wish anytime soon let's see russia ski r.t. reporting from tallinn in a stone. coming up to twenty seven minutes past the hour now here in the russian
