the tambourine falls silent the showman rides with convulsions this means that a spirit has entered him as a rule the showman knows which spirit is invoking what he can expect of it this time however something has gone wrong. it's. blood begins trickling from the shermans mouth is sagging legs hardly supports him busy limps around the bonfire producing in comprehensible sounds all ruling like a beast. somebody has fainted everybody becomes jittery and no contact with the spirit is likely to take place today. in. the tension dies down a few minutes later with a spirit in the shape of a sherman accept a gift and begins gesturing squats near the sick man soon he rose again and vanishes in the dark it's.

on. its people. we've heard of. q. islamic parties when an overwhelming majority of egypt's first post no bark elections cleaning up more than seventy percent of the seats in parliament. doubts are cast over the arab league's mission in syria the critics questioning the group's independence while supporters say their presence has helped ease the violence. police clashed with protesters in croatia's capital zagreb where hundreds of took to the streets to rally against joining with the membership referendum and more trouble in the e.u.'s romanians take to the streets to watch their anti

austerity anger in the first mile into the country is seen in over a decade. i'm broadcasting live direct from our studios in central moscow this is our team glad to have you with us our top story this hour is a long list of parties when egypt's first post mubarak parliamentary elections claiming seventy two percent of the seats in the lower house the new parliament is expected to hold its first session in just two days time archies maria notion of brings us the details from power. the fact the absolute majority all of the first parliament of new age of post mubarak of egypt will be taking his limits and conservative parties means that the egyptian society rather secular right now will be cool to strict religious codes and of course this is something people will not

be happy with this is not something they want to be fighting for more open democratic society not just one piece of course is expected to fact tourists which is a very important part of it to show an economy because tourists don't want to go to the country where they are forced to cover their faces and hands of course since brotherhood is supporting the supreme council of armed forces that took power from mubarak last february the militia that has been. in egyptian politics since the fall of monarchy in the nineteen fifties and means that the military will stay longer in power and this is of course something also again something people here in egypt are not happy with because they say they want to do the revolution in two thousand and eleven to get rid of the tater sheep and they don't want another one which is a military dictatorship right now this is how they take the things in egypt right

now so again we can expect protests and tensions between ministry and people on the streets to escalate. reporting for us there and. the jerusalem post who has written extensively on the muslim brotherhood says that the new egypt will be more hostile to the west than the old regime. people have called for democracy in egypt this is the result when people call for democracy they may not always this realize that the electorate has a very different vision of how they would like their society is run then in other places such as western europe we have islamist hardline parties coming to power and it's going to be an earthquake for both egypt and for the region the muslim brotherhood has been preparing for this moment for decades they have a very thought out detailed agenda for how they wish egypt to look like and it's a very different egypt from what we've known until now it's going to be a much more religious conservative place and much more hostile to the west

meanwhile and it neighboring libya around two hundred protesters stormed the building of the national transitional council's headquarters in the city of benghazi crowds have protested the slow pace of the country is moving towards democracy protesters threw stones and metal bars at the buildings breaking windows and damaging the car of the n.p.c. chairman of the hundreds of young men many of whom were wounded in the revolution that toppled saddam vented their anger at the level of compensation that they have received from the interim government they hope they actually helps to install the demonstrations have been raging for weeks and been causing with protesters also demanding more transparency about how the n.p.c. is spending the libyan assets radio host and author stephen london believes the crowds are unhappy with the new government serving as the puppets of the last. up a couple of hundred former fighters former rebel fighters storm out of it.

they used even grimly took a little while to get the plow and it it blew out the they stole our lives take the blame you know the probably their name treated properly we will wait sure laws were drawn up the people were promised they would have a stadium the people that have no say whatsoever everything is been secretly envy in t.c. government let's face it is a puppet western government serving western interests that sort of be i mean no interest in ordinary libyans i expect protracted violence i expect a western major media so ignore it. and you are with r t still had for you this hour. is it not just stepping on the moon you could stay there find out russia's latest plans for the great beyond. the media have

a responsibility to guide the lemmings down the path it has no living should have their mind of their own. we explore how people are to believe made up stories when the throw in a much hyped threat the president is not on the united states or that. the arab league is said to decide whether to extend its mission to syria made fixed results for the observers as both sides question their effectiveness officials from the league have indicated the mission is likely to continue as the presence of monitors has reduced the level of violence in some areas partly sir first is following the situation in syria. they are going to be meeting and then finding. ok. this. will be now the arab league mission in the country to be the everyman station the. syrian government power among other things

including the release of prisoners to withdraw. troops and tanks from some of the towns and cities how successful this. is the case of. the arab league mission and that final day here in the country there are questions raised as to think shall see and the credibility of the mission certainly seeing the way that they operated they couldn't question really just how independent they were able to operate in the country despite the possibility. yardley going to be taking i can't rethink. everything he wanted to. raise. these monitors will. be interesting even fooled by the end of this mission. because they can very

divisive the response to the people the hospital some people think this really is essential to this mission continue and in fact just possibly speaking to one of the former advisers to become. the previous government. because listen to his opinion on the situation now. and. you have to put it that you have to. go. let me spin it after the conflict because she will start to talk as a peaceful protest become increasingly out the but if you have to. think of that no longer have control over how can you cut all these different factions no one really

knows anymore you have the voice of the people but i think the number of people reading speak that really is in the area of major concern. the violence in the country has reportedly continued unabated after a rally of twelve thousand anti-government protesters in the city had summoned danny to press you can ask mr hartley sir for if it is a very sensible play from the latest developments a vehicle for the street in her most recent post from the scene of heavy fighting sara says that there isn't any ceasefire in place with the city under government. control via the armed opposition and she also says that locals are very afraid that violence will rock again. police have clashed with protesters in croatia's capital zagreb where hundreds rallied against joining the european union ahead of the country's membership referendum clashes erupted when demonstrators attempted to take down and you flagged recent surveys that suggest around forty percent of the

population are against joining the union patrick young from the investment consulting firm devi advisors says you sentiment is easy to understand as croats can see their neighbors in the block facing hard. the key consideration here is that when we look at the croatian referendum there's been barely one m.p. in the entire parliament who's actually been turning round and publicly saying anything against the e.u. itself so the fact that we have this amazing grind swell of support at something like forty percent easing credible it demonstrates the fact that the political classes are completely and utterly out of touch with what the people are thinking and what the people are thinking is quite simple they've seen neighbors they've seen similar who are emerging european countries such as themselves people like slovakia slovenia is stone we are all coming into the europe european union they join the euro zone and they find the worst poisoned chalice imaginable because

nurses and pensioners are not getting paid a third of what they would get paid if they were working in greece and to add insult to injury they're actually paying money to the greeks in order to support their euro zone bailouts that's why the people in croatia are deeply concerned and that's why it's going to be a very interesting already referendum result tomorrow. romania is witnessing its worst riots and violence in over a decade for a second week running thousands of people are on the streets demanding the resignation of the government and of the president tom barton reports. things turned nasty in the streets of polk arrest. protesters had been peaceful for the past few days but now the demonstrations turned front. fighting as broken out between police and protesters just behind me you can see deep testers bringing up fences they now been expected to clash with the police

line here they've started to throw bottles and other things at the police line and they're going to time for c.-span sees things in a police line now. this is a dollars or one hope that they could avoid today but they seem to have broken out after oh there's a fence being thrown. earlier in the day thousands of poured into the remaining in the capital to demand the resignation of the remaining president try and assess the opposition politicians address the crowd all that didn't just come from all over the country means that this right has begun and it must not stop until we reach what we want but we need. that interim people are upset because they've lost their job service because their pension was cut and others because they're being humiliated every day and there's

one thing that unites us all that we all want the siskiyou to leave. but later on the move became more militant. the bankruptcy ruled the factories all the hospitals social in the country have to work five kilometers through the snow to school that the youth nowadays. what choice do we have to go out and start to steal start might be people for a person so we'll go to italy spain and germany to start to steal what for we want jobs we can seize them if you look over the line now to move in this owns it is being. just in stages that police are trying to move forward and clear the square with a meeting with a lot of resistance from the protesters in. the crowd was broken up it revealed those affected by the tear gas.

and the struggle of those seized. day and night protests to supreme demanding big political change remain here but if this is anything to go by the roots reform will get long and hard fought some but r.t. and you are with our team still have for you this hour. hungry while they grab a pizza if you look at ways people in the u.s. get good food for free. russia has announced ambitious plans to send unmanned vehicles to the moon with the eventual aim of building a permanent colony cosmos hopes to work in partnership with the u.s. and e.u. with the permanent base offering benefits for space travel and exploration r.p.s. better oliver has parents. but ross cosmos want to send first off to unmanned probes to the surface of our nearest celestial neighbor and take samples bring them

back to earth so they can be studied and analyzed with the hope eventually that we can set up a permanent base move now this all sounds very science fiction but it could very soon be science plaques a moon base has been said that it could very well be a very good place to to launch spacecraft from would also be a very good place to build spacecraft of course the the gravity of the moon much less than there is on earth we get see the effect the lesson gravity or zero gravity would have on a spacecraft much more than we could ever simulate on earth hopefully lots of very exciting things that we can see coming up in the next few years they say they're hoping to these unmanned probes can be the first step towards perhaps setting up a permanent home on the moon. so moon bases are still a thing of the future for now but some people are ready to believe anything or hardest hit the streets of new york to find out if the u.s.

is really going to put a man on the moon to spy on iran. in the case of iran's nuclear capabilities people are quick to make judgments based on what they hear in the media but are they actually listening to what's being said this week let's talk about that do you agree with president obama's initiative to monitor iran's nuclear program from the moon. yes why i think it's important to know what's going on i do yeah why well just because of the threat to the world what it is is the threat specifically. our safety as. we can talk do you agree with his program paul moon. i think you're putting me on you don't believe that from the moon. maybe from a satellite but i think you're putting me on would you be surprised to know that

a lot of people just say by me that they agree with the program from the moon oh that wouldn't surprise me at all that people not humans are lemmings well for things i like to jump off cliffs doesn't the media have a responsibility to guide the lemmings down a better path you know lemmings should have their mind of their own and they should be educated i mean people are watching t.v. radio internet so it's if you know even if you're looking for some going of disease you know you find so many interpretations so which one is the right one that's difficult people say i start an internet so i believe it's absolutely true so it's . very hard to find the right source most people just don't have the time don't have the inclination come people there to get into it if you ever try to have a meaningful discussion with someone about politics i try every day it's pretty pretty bad to be honest say you never going to know where they were even if they did pull.
