a radical religious ideas. it may have looked like a successful revolution getting rid of authoritarian regime while retaining its westernized facade but in parliamentary elections that followed tunisians voted for another and islamist party which now firmly holds the majority of seats in the new parliament. for the first experience. making the choice between. political programs it was hard. pushed people to choose either with muslims and muslims. but western tourists need to have nothing to fear the party's leaders say beer and bikini's irregular staples of tunisia hotspots are here to stay yet recent events

at the university one of the largest in the country show the tunisian ways are indeed changing lives or protests erupted right here at the university several female students came in wearing what is a traditional islamic headdress which covers most of the face leaving just the eyes open they're going to versus the authorities have prohibited such head dress from being worn on campus so the students went on strike saying their freedom was being oppressed by the majority of students were against the strike but they were threatened by those in the minority we held out on principle we are against girls wearing head dress and during the exams it's a question of security and of trust and professor bleby acknowledge the students right to wear whatever they please after all she says this is the essence of freedom but in the niqab she felt a different from the simple issue of dress code since usually here just serves to protect the woman from possible unwanted advances and activists for women's rights in the country breed. the underlying political tendencies are feeling by the

strikes at the new beginning versity. the bad weather when one wears any cop and whatever else this thing on important i'm not afraid of women's desire to wear a head dress i'm afraid the issue may be used to their vocab the problems the parliamentary opposition meanwhile fears this may mean bad news for the born tunisian democracy and all because. you're worried that we may slim down to a new head to head a rule by one of the representative parties and not to receive forty percent of the seats in the assembly the post of prime minister is also there's every tunisian is afraid that confrontations and riots may. be not a leaders have made numerous assurances that they're not going to turn into a strict sharia law state but many in the country are already saying that the worrying signs are here. r t tunisia. and maybe mistakes that terry connelly told about the new is the misleading indulging

in emotional criticism instead of real solutions to the country's was. the way in which the. operating that we. get is extremely on intelligent president mark good to see has been operating. the way in which the new justice minister than the slow minister of blind social and moral greater to decide what can go on and what can even go on joe not shouldn't go on television is awarding the real problems of third country which are social and economic problems and the plan needs to be implemented to the goal of the people who are treatable to dictate it just goes back to be so-called morgridge islam it's basically concentrating on moral censorship but more people should do it shouldn't do is a sign of bankruptcy it's because they've gone out of the people leaping out so

they are receding along these flights. this is coming out of the year the corrupt legacy of hosni mubarak influences the presidential race in egypt one of the main liberal candidates is pulling out find out why interest of. the pentagon's top official says the u.s. is doing well in afghanistan and the time about is losing ground while i cia report says the campaign is mired in a stalemate. there's a never swayed for investor reaction when the world stock markets open on monday after nine years on countries had their credit rating current including france and australia losing their prized aaa status your leaders here back at ratings agencies standard and poor's calling its decision in comprehensible germany remains the only eurozone country with the top aaa status turns longer michael said there's a long road for europe to regain investor confidence while french prime minister for so awfully young has promised more steverson the country john locke and of the

institute for democracy and cooperation in paris says that the downgrade could help crumble the franco german alliance. the downgrading of france but not of germany obviously means that the franco german axis is no longer tenable proposition what we see in the eurozone there is that there's only one country calling the shots not two and that's germany there's no doubt that it will strike a terrible blow for sarkozy is only real chance of winning the election was to show himself as a safe pair of hands as the devil you know in a crisis now it's clear that france has both a crisis and the devil they know i mean it's true that these agencies are not above reproach they've made a lot of mistakes in the past and good goodness knows the financial services industry including the ratings agencies is far from perfect but i think that european leaders are being completely paranoid when they blame the ratings agencies

for their problems any fool can see that there is a massive debt problem in europe the fact is there's been a lull in the crisis but that was really to do with the christmas and new year holidays they have assessed the situation and they have come to the conclusion as have many other people that the situation in the eurozone is untenable and i think when the euro finally collapses as it will do surely within i would think probably the next year that we will see just a this announcement downgrading of france or as having been one of the decisive moments. and to egypt now where the former head of the u.s. nuclear watchdog mohamed el baradei has called off his brother for presidency he says he is not going to run as the old regime has never really gone away they had been seen by many as one of the front running liberal candidates but one objection commentator says another read it stood a chance of losing the country. stance to to not run for the presidency and withdrawing his candidacy is an extension to stan's during the

mubarak rule where he refused to be a presidential candidate in light of corruption so what he actually means by withdrawing his candidacy is to send a message out that the regime has still not fallen and that the scaf are mubarak's extension and that the regime is extremely corrupt as though he hopes to bring light to the fact that nothing has changed in the regime he didn't have much of a chance under the current regime because it was still the same chances as he had during the mubarak regime the military wanted to maintain control over every aspect of egypt's political life there's a campaign called has a boon which means liars which shows how the military are lying actually about. everything they've said so far and their brutality against egyptians so that there is is been more dissent in one year against the military than mubarak has garnered over thirty years. coming up in

for radical change do you think they had radical change so far i feel like they had a radical change in the wrong direction so what direction do you think it should go in the way of the people which is what which is when the government actually works for us not for themselves the change i would like to see would be probably they would be complimentary because there are some libertarian ideas that are great but you just can't pull the social fabric out from the folks that need it you can't do it i'm a really hard time with the fed and i think we should be out of all countries you know we should be occupying anything but we need to take care of our own i think you need somebody who is prepared to stick his head out and do big changes like to say do you think that the u.s. people would get behind the leader that that that if they get desperate enough because of the split that's happening with people who are employed not employed to have money and no money they desperately nuff you look at it whether or not the

u.s. needs radical change the bottom line is it remains to be seen whether or not they'll vote for it. trade unions in nigeria have failed to reach a compromise with the government to end a strike sponsored by there was joy of state subsidies which her son to fuel and food prices soaring unions are threatening to shut down oil and gas processing of takes a toll explained to sunday fail the editor of the pan african newswire told are saying that the crisis could have global economic impact if it was. we have to keep in mind that right now as far as the united states is are some twenty five percent of the all that's being a quarter of right now going to the united states is coming from the african continent nigeria is the number one export it to the united states and that is number two in fact. all of that is that's the word from africa into united states

being successful one of them a very big one and we had an excellent chief accountant who really helped us set up the whole financial side of this business and that to me for going to set up any company in russia you have to have a good finance team we have one competitor here who set up their business right at the beginning of the crate actually right before the crisis so they came in about two thousand and seven and they really i mean they did not survive i mean they're here but they've had to downscale their offices like a skeleton crew and that's because they i mean some of the things that they did you know they did wrong they had management that was not successful they had huge huge expenses i mean right now i mean we're still in an upswing at staffel which means that recruitment is moving along nicely we just need to get through the election period and then things will probably go very smoothly with any business for it to be successful you've got to constantly be on top of it and constantly motivate everyone to just keep going you want to succeed no matter what the market

environment is i think there's a lot of opportunities here you have to have the you have to have the drive to do that and that's what i think you know naturally in the world russia as well as anywhere else sometimes there's a fear of putting that drive into place or there's there are some you know barriers maybe but but anything can be done here if you just put your mind to it i mean look at me i open my company and it's you know one of the strongest recruiting firms in russia and who was i you know i don't have the big education or the big experience but i had the drive and i had the will and i had a love of what i did and i wanted to succeed and i just pushed myself and i worked extremely hard day and night nonstop and i loved every single minute of it so that's the key when i come on. so really heavily engaged in sports here in russia so i i do take on do i play broom ball i will go bowling i play softball so a lot of different sports i'm involved with

a medal really helps the first of all networking are fantastic and the focus that a lot of it brings is really like the type mando for instance for me it takes away a lot of the stress that i may have sometimes on different things and i can bring it in here and just be much more focused and i am i'm always accomplishing it i think my family is you know it's extremely important to me and that's one of the things that has kept me here obviously is we're here they're very happy here and now i get a lot of support from them in terms of i mean everything i do is for them really you know the love of my life my little boys are just incredible and i really have a great family and very close and that's why you do everything i think you know in life so it's very positive place to be and that makes me happy i think it makes a lot of people a lot. of this is he has long been a major problem for many children across america and while many look for solutions the government star is accused of turning a blind eye to trend that's causing pieces and heart disease but spells profit for
