hello and welcome to r.t. twenty four hour news live from moscow i'm telling story now is the midst of. an overwhelming victory in the opening round of egypt's first post revolution election according to official results and local reports newspapers report the freedom and justice party the political wing of the muslim brotherhood has won around forty percent of the vote meanwhile the new party a fundamentalist organization has won round twenty five percent the country's main liberal alliance the egyptian bloc got around fifteen percent of the vote the country's high elections commission has said it will release official results for part and it's only in january after all three stages of the election for the people's assembly have finished here has all the details from cairo right. now are hearing reports in these parts of the muslim brotherhood. in

a comfortable first position with sixty percent of the votes now the brotherhood has gone so far as to call on its wyvil to accept. 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 of the seats in parliament this would put it in a very poll for 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 israel it has called these developments to quote the israeli government very very disturbing he's a defense minister and he says that he hopes it adhered to international treaties that it has signed in the past particularly taking nineteen since peace treaty with

israel the muslim brotherhood has always been to this peace treaty it has close ties with us and in this respect and mass has issued a statement on this web site commending the egyptian 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 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 mixture and it has to this end of point in the government under kemal 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 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. yes we are saying and that is that the

military is not genuine about wanting to hand over power in the long run now analysts have been warning not to read too much into these elections it's still not clear exactly how this new problem which will be structural damage how it will have and it's simply not clear how much power in the long run is prepared to hand. the arab league has given to syria until sunday to accept observers to monitor the rest of the country off a small sanctions has also bans nineteen syrian officials from travel to arab states and has frozen their assets this comes as army deserted clashed with government troops and a new break of violence with twenty five people reportedly killed in science meanwhile the july human rights council has passed a resolution condemning alleged violations by the syrian authorities and appointing a special investigator to probe into the matter but russian china voted against america saying it ignores crimes committed by the opposition and might lead to foreign intervention under the pretext of protecting human rights. we think that it

is the role of the international community to help resolve internal crisis. promoting dialogue what we don't understand is why if that can be done in yemen that cannot apply to serious imo from the outset the message which has been set up from some quarters capitals is that no way to 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. from confrontation but the international community is there to prevent further blood ship and to encourage it. this is what the united nations is about this is what the security council is about. and the leading wings

of the country's opposition the syrian national council and the free syrian army have agreed to work together to meet the council has vowed to cut ties with iran has a blind how must if the assad regime goes and professor you can go to an all day transcend piece university says that corresponds to the regional interests of point powers the western interned so of course to split off completely from any range and connection as they see it in yemen the west is with the leadership and against the opposition. with your position against the leadership cutting in march to a shark so it's a question of where the big boys are the big boys which group of the big boys fighting the big. so to begin version of the libya being played again to be referred to and before that would probably cost much more and worse many more civilians than the loads that will protect and it will to turn for the border to go on for

a long time. well out here in russia's elections to the lower house of parliament just a duma has kicked off in the east of the country so the policy is that fighting to overcome a threshold at seven percent of votes needed to win seats the outcome of most interest is whether the really united russia party manages to keep its my joy but over two thirds the number needed to pass amendments to the constitution and the law house and modern three hundred thousand police officers all over the country are on high alert for the whole day the elections are they monitored by international observers from seventeen european countries the u.s. and israel and voters in russia's far resort followed elsewhere across the nation's rather than one time zones the last ones to cast their ballots will be citizens of kaliningrad they westernmost region of the country so they will start to vote in about four hours time around one hundred thousand polling stations are to open invite throughout the day. and our reporters will provide all the latest on those elections from the central election commission and all the main political parties

headquarters all sunday so stay with us for the results reaction and in-depth analysis. of. the people prepared to speak. in election. coverage of this one. the russian. european leaders are planning what's being described as a bunch three intervention in the running over you member states german chancellor angela merkel is pushing for the creation of a fiscal union of euro zone countries and it would mean that the financial policies of the united as would have to be approved by brussels with penalties for countries which break the bones the move would require changes to the u. treaty and robert oulds director of the bridge group was that creating a preschool union would put an end to democracy within the. if there is a fiscal union which will take years to build in the e.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 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 we run from brussels and frankfurt that is a deeply undemocratic store of further trouble in the future but the problems are with the euro and they really do need to recognize that the euro should be broken up into more manageable parts and countries have control of their own economic policies again and that way they can get growth back into europe at the moment the european economy is just stagnating because they're stuck in a straight jacket of the european single currency. and as the global economic

crisis rages overseas financial pundits mark's kinds it continues his mission to expose the shadowy figures behind it and his revelations in full it coming up in but here's a preview the. german finance minister says big bazooka not ready would not stem crisis even if it was this suggests to me that in fact wolfgang schauble is meeting in private with goldman sachs bankers and telling them to short the heck out of europe right now because the plan is to pull the rug out from under them when we saw that in the greece an area i remember john paul's hedge fund manager was in greece in athens shortly before the crisis took called there and was meeting with the government and instructing them on how he was going to rip that country down using massive short sales so this financial terrorism using weapons of mass financial destruction to destroy economies and impose austerity measures taken to a much wider level they want to take down the entire eurozone. unemployment

in the u.s. has drops its lowest level in turn to half years according to the latest official figures and while it could bring true to brock obama in the run up to elections republicans are unimpressed saying the jobless rate is still higher than when he took office and transfer. things the democrats are simply spinning the numbers to their own advantage but when you look at the real numbers in who got the jobs it's . food stamp employees oh there were jobs created in retail you know those wonderful jobs we take people's money and you say have a nice day and there were jobs in hospitality that's another word for cleaning up somebody who's room oh when there were jobs in health care you know working in

nursing homes making sixty to fifty a week why that's why i'm after taxes you know so these are real jobs this is a plantation economy and the big law that no one's talking about as they pump up this week number you need a hundred twenty five thousand jobs a month just to account for the new people moving in to the economy and population growth so that leaves all the people that have lost all these jobs since the great recession hit still out of work. and as many americans are struggling to find what i've got is a basic planning that christmas shopping but is that place for keeping up to date with well designed something that's no way how finance has been looking finances on the streets of new york. are people aware of what's going on in the world this holiday season are they only

interested in shopping this week let's talk about that what do you make of the first egyptian election since the revolution so no it is about well what do you think is the importance of it don't know anything about it or what's on your mind that shopping do you agree with britain's choice to pull out of its embassy in tehran. we don't follow the news these days so i'm not so informed about what do you follow these days. all the trip around the city to how do you think the european union should handle the greek situation but hear me out so that you really don't follow that closely now what are you guys been plowing in the news. knowledge of. he watches the news i watch the good. what is that h.d.t.v. and the cooking channel did you think nato had a right to pakistan this is getting very political i'm on a five day holiday i'm not going to get to try to political discussion i don't mean

the sit down not worldly but i'm being more attention there was have been over here it was happening in another country this somewhat not affecting us do you think that's what most people feel probably what about you probably whether or not you've crossed everything off your list this holiday the bottom line is you might want to consider taking a break from shopping to find out what's going on in the rest of the world. on the sol here and also for you of raising their herds against of raising their native tongue point out how the russian speaking minority in the former soviet republic of a story here is suffering from the so-called language of. britain an article. of the human virus acts and shows the rise to family life for those who live there but what sounds found paper is being used in really in reality by criminals because they can overturn decisions to deport them for their stances by

using the legal loophole that allows them to stay laura smith explains the right to a family life is not an absolute right and it must not be used to drive a coach 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 across. the driver of the car the wrong or. corroded on the apollo the car and. she became trapped under the wheels of the car. he basically for the guy

trapped under the wheels in the water car amy's killer asso mohammed abraham already had a string of minor convictions even before he moved her down and fled but because he subsequently fathered 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 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 right 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 even him 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 embedded in international law you know that we have torches in the aftermath of the second world war so make sure that we all wish you know very well into society and those principles that we hope to hear through a grieving father. like a poll that's missing the point what we have

a special we articulate human rights facts we have criminals terrorists murderers paris drug dealers or using the human rights act as a shield to hype behind and so on to stonewall contre. a problem where the genuine asylum seekers of all think anybody has but what we don't want to see is we don't see people abusing her and that's what's wrong and i think no one needs to be addressed amy was pulled 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. . and here's a quick look at what else is making news around the world as a roadside bomb has killed three troops in eastern afghanistan this comes as the u.s. state department's top of the short robert blake says washington is considering setting up a military base in the country after nato coalition forces withdraw the statement was

made during his official visit to trickiest on the right around one hundred forty thousand international troops in afghanistan due to his draw by the end of twenty fourteen. indian planes have clashed with protesters angry over a lack of compensation for the world was industrial accident while this marks the twenty seventh anniversary of the paul disaster in which the union carbide pesticide plant leaked a lethal gas killing around fifteen thousand and poisoning up to half a million people the indian government wants another one point seven billion dollars for the victims after previous administrations settled in the one nine hundred eighty five for round of thankful that it does for users are demanding around eight billion dollars compensate for. the biggest cake in the world the way through returns has drawn thousands of visitors to watch but not heed the call also creation of the festive season and the spirit of christmas has been traditionally marked in dresden with the annual cake parade almost two hundred million of raisins

have been used in the giant tallent cake how many calories it involves well we won't talk about that. for over two decades in the soviet union and the russian speaking minority in a store near has been suffering because of their mother tongue native speakers face discrimination and can lose that job simming be protected by the european union or its human rights provisions oh she's exceed your shot ski has will. 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 stony 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 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 the language exam the body may then initiate the sacking of this employee human right activists say this has turned the 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 simitian through it so often cursed soviet power never applied they were stretching the

languages dystonia as were free to educate in their language now adays 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 that is 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. and i don't want to. but as long as we have in this country we have to live by the law and i fired those people because they had been warned but did not. human rights activists acknowledge the rule of the law but stress that in the language case it is not applied properly because the law doesn't put any difference between our of us and we're almost everyone sees russian as their native language and other parts where most of the people speak on them and with such disproportion we can talk of direct language discrimination and indirect ethnic discrimination which has given us

activists in another baltic state law to be 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 a storm despite being criticized by amnesty international for its language policy is adamant that it sees the russian minority would not catch the magic fish granting their wish anytime soon. let's see russia ski see reporting from thailand in a story. and remember you can always find more stories on our website r.t. dot com and here's also a line for you right now. apple's bursting into flames find out why some i phones can be called the hottest touchscreens on the market. in the pound protocol til you drop see how to break down star's bassler shout out as an international contest.
