vishal results of egypt's historic elections have been delayed for a second time with some local people starting to drugs but the outcome will never be announced by. the arab league in syria a sunday deadline to accept foreign observers into the country it follows a unique human rights council resolution condemning damascus for violence in which over three thousand civilians have died this year but russia oppose the motion saying it was a one sided. version is already under way in russia's parliamentary elections as polling stations open in the east of the country with counting to begin after the
5:01 pm
ballot closes nationwide on sunday. and a very welcome from all of us here in moscow this is all she with me thanks for joining us as the official results of egypt's historic elections have been delayed for a second time causing frustration among protesters on the higher square however leaked reports suggest that the muslim brotherhood's political party has made the strongest gains aussies policia has all the details from cairo for us. we have to see the results of individual candidates because these were elections in which people were voting for the 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
5:02 pm
still no confirmation whether we are hearing. in these parts of the muslim brotherhood in a comfortable tradition with certain percentage of the votes of the brotherhood has gone so far as. to accept. the will of the people for the surprise of these elections has been the strong showing of the salafist group it is expected that it could get as much as that of the seats in parliament this would put it in a very powerful position to influence the debate and the discussion at a point of entry level now this is the first time that a salafist has registered as a political party in the past it has been accused of inciting sectarian strife against egypt's minority christian community now we are hearing reaction from his role it has these developments to quote the israeli government a very very disturbing israeli defense minister and he says that he hopes to adhere
5:03 pm
to international treaties that it has signed in the past particularly. his treaty with israel the muslim brotherhood has always been to this peace treaty it has close ties with us and in this respect mass has issued a statement on its website commending people for what it says clearly showing support for his nemesis the rallying call until his square remains much the same as it has been for weeks now and that is a people who simply do not believe the commitment of the promise by the government and the military the minute. he is saying that it will step down once a new parliament is in place next year and it has to be as independent in government and they come on guns now we were expecting that it 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
5:04 pm
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 not analysts have been warning not to read too much into these elections it's still not clear exactly how this new problem with it will be structured how much power it will have and it's certainly not here how much power in the long run is prepared to hand over. and you can follow their own choice that with the latest on the situation in cairo and in her latest post a picture of what was that people preparing to spend another night of darfur square are starting to charge that the results of the historic elections will never be announced for that said he underscore call and get the latest from. the arab league has given syria until such until sunday to accept observers to monitor and the rest of the country also use more sanctions it has also banned one thousand
5:05 pm
syrian officials from travel to arab states and has frozen their assets and this comes as army deserted is a clash with government troops in a new hour break the violence of twenty five people reportedly killed on both sides meanwhile the u.n. human rights council has passed a resolution condemning alleged violations by the syrian authorities appointing a special investigator to probe into the master but russia and china voted against the motion saying it ignores crimes committed by the opposition and might lead to foreign intervention under the pretense of protecting human rights. we think that it is the most. community to help resolve internal crisis through promoting dialogue what we don't understand is why if that can be done in yemen that cannot apply to syria in syria as a mile from the outset the message which has been set forth from some quarters capitals is there is no way dialogue can help those who go into dialogue we should
5:06 pm
stop it immediately the 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 dialogue this is what the united nations is about this is what the security council is about so syria's main opposition group has done to cut ties with iran hezbollah and hamas said the current government goes and professor got on the record tell they try centerpiece university told r.c. 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 range and connection as they see it in yemen the west is with the leadership and against their position. in syria there with your position and against the leadership
5:07 pm
cutting it much too sharp so it's a question where the big boys out the big boys which group and the big boys siding the big western parts that's a typical version of this libya being played again we've heard it too and before. that will probably cost much more and more many more civilians than the lives they will protect and it will set the pattern for a war that will go on for a long time. voting in russia's elections to the lower house of parliament or stay do you mean has kicked off in the eastern most regions of the country so seven parties are fighting to overcome the threshold of seven percent of voters needed to win seats voters have been casting their ballots and will be followed elsewhere across the nation by their fellow citizens as some great falls across the country's time zones the outcome of most interest is whether they're rooting for united russia party manages to keep its my charity of over two thirds the number needed to

5:09 pm
countries which break the rules the move would require changes to the treaty and robert oulds director of the bridge group warns that creating a fiscal union would put an end to democracy within the. there is a fiscal union which will take years to build in the u. that will mean that there will be the end of democracy within europe it will mean that countries will be effectively governed by the european central bank and germany cannot make thinking and the interests of the very few. european elite based in brussels it's really dangerous i think to centralize power the euro has created a great deal of economic problems and they're not going to have you know cap more problems on to that by creating a fiscal union which will mean that government's tax and spend policy will in a sense will be run blossoms and frank first and that is a plea undemocratic and will store up further trouble in the future with the problems are with the euro and they really do need to recognise that the euro
