business twenty. seven pm in moscow i'm at present good to have you with us here on r t our top story this hour fresh clashes in egypt with reports of at least three people killed and some four hundred injured as police again fire bali's of tear gas aimed at dispersing crowds of protesters unrest broke out after wednesday's football violence when seventy four people died in post match clashes in cairo protesters continued gathering around the interior ministry blaming police for doing nothing to prevent the soccer pitch they're also calling on the military council to step down journalist believes there are forces in egypt that could be banking on the unrest. of this study just very difficult to say who's actually behind the violence and whether it was a splinter. all straight it but what's certain is that there's

a security vacuum in egypt and this security vacuum is intentional the police and the security apparatus has wanted to since the revolution began has wanted to punish the people for the rebelling against its. immediate aftermath of the revolution the police disappeared off the streets and now they haven't returned to full capacity the supreme council the armed forces since mubarak's ouster have been trying to sell themselves as they go in tools of peace and stability in egypt and so they jump on every opportunity to drive home the message that egypt is in like. mayhem and chaos and the only way we're going to get out of this dispute to support us. as you'll lead is basically the changes that have the code so far have largely been cosmetic ones to try and give.

me the generals the sheen of legitimacy but i don't think they have any intention of stepping down just yet unless forced to do so by the street tell us what you think about the latest clashes in egypt and r.t. that com today we're asking our viewers why has failed to return after egypt's revolution last year so far most of you think it's because of the same officials who weren't power under the mubarak regime that are now still in power in the country a quarter think continuing on arrest placed in the interests of radical groups eighteen percent think that every revolution creates its own downfall the same number say be an arrest persis because of high unemployment those are the figures now you can change that by casting your vote log on to our team dot com. you can see the first hand events unfolding in cairo also at r.t. dot com where we're streaming the protests live. the un is edging closer to a deal on syria with a new draft resolution softened to overcome russian objections references to

president assad stepping down an arms embargo have been dropped from the revised text which is still pending approval moscow continues warning it will attempt any it will oppose any attempt to even hint at targeting the syrian regime parties on a stasi churkin it has more from new york. after some three days of diplomatic deadlock over this arab and western backed regime change resolution it looks like russia's calls that it would not support such resolutions have finally been heard and we're seeing somewhat of a game changer take place delegates and diplomats seem to have agreed on new elements that they are considering putting into a new document and we do know that these new elements are being sent over to governments at home for consideration approval and deliberation and form what we know that russia is a master to the u.n. has said that this does not mean that anything has been fully decided yet and

russia continues to reiterate that even if the hint of a regime change clause continues to be presented in such a resolution it would not be supported now what we what we're hearing and some reports that this clause will actually be nonexistent in this new text being considered whereas earlier the arab league and the west have been seeing that the syrian leader needs to step down if this does not happen within fifteen days further measures could take place another clause that we're hearing is going to be removed from this document is the arms embargo that russia has also been opposing but from what we understand what will continue to remain in a new text is a support of a facilitation of a political transition now of course they have to again say that some of the details are still largely up in the air some diplomats are saying that a vote could come very shortly we will just have to wait and see exactly how events play out the security council in the days to come marcus papadopoulos editor of

politics first magazine things the u.s. is still committed to seeing power change hands in damascus. western interest in the conflict in syria isn't guided by wanting to advance human rights democracy or the rule of law in the region if it was about that then we'd probably see an american naval flotilla off the coast of saudi arabia which happens to be one of the most repressive regimes in the world it follows a pro western foreign policy syria is a huge player in middle eastern politics and the west principally america has a very problematic relationship with syria so it would be very much within america's interests for the syrian government for president assad to fall from power and for a more accommodating a more sort of pro western government to come to parallel should that happen that would give. almost food dominance politically in the middle east

so instead of western governments the british and the american and the french ones talking about president assad stays being numbered they should be more responsible in their outlook and the main focus should be on bringing pace to syria. marcus papadopoulos editor of politics first magazine speaking with us there from london there's a lot more coming up in the next few minutes including this religious to the extreme . and it's freaking people in it this is a misinterpretation of their secret groups are lying rhetoric from a radical islamic group shocking belgian society including fellow muslims plus. a shocking new turn in the long running spy and murder saga as the father of slain f.s.b. officer alexander litvinenko backtracked on accusations that of l'avenir putin was to blame for his son's death. live pictures from every polling station in russia set to go online with the help of

a new website launched friday thousands of web cameras are being installed across the country ahead of next month's presidential election the move was introduced by the current prime minister and presidential candidate vladimir putin as a step toward stopping fraud during the vote. as the details. inch after inch mile after mile big brother is preparing to cast his eyes on polling stations as the massive campaign to install web cameras is in full swing across the entire nation but actually sometimes but i think if anything i ask for a central electoral commission which is to install web cameras at all polling stations across the country so that everyone can watch online what's happening there almost twenty four hours a day and they go we sit still and that only. the idea was put forward following the biggest protests in russia since the collapse of the u.s.s.r. with tens of thousands demanding fair elections so wiring up over ninety thousand polling stations is the scale and around a half of

a billion us dollars is the price tag. the system is not be made only for one day we help this project want only develop elections acknowledges but will also help modernize telecommunications infrastructure across the entire country. all cameras will be feeding the videos the film to local digital storage facilities after computer processing will be then sent to seven large storage and distribution centers via cable radio and satellite these centers will then broadcast the information to several web portals it's estimated that all together the cameras will film and broadcast four hundred and ninety years of video information in good quality however there is still down to this technology will help make the vote more transparent. you'll get there still i'm sure the observers will be able to check to advance if these cameras work will not. everyone knows about cameras in

supermarkets but these still doesn't stop robberies from happening. it's. books will be monitored by two cameras one with the general view and another with a close up of this lot there are many ways to rig a vote and the cameras don't provide a hundred percent guarantee against that but using that should still make it much more difficult to stuff boxes course there's nothing new. or web cameras. using them to monitor elections on such a scale is a first for any nation and regardless of the success of the idea everyone will be able to monitor the vote online and not to mention no one is against having more real life observers on the spot he was going off moscow but voting video isn't online just yet but there is a lot streaming right now and you can check it all out at our. meeting this government web sites in the ukraine software today blackout after being attacked by

subject. boardgame sports the cold weather. coming your way in the next hour here on our team but first the business news with dmitri stay with us. thanks matt the european union is reporting a fall in russian gas supplies for the first straight day the exceptionally cold weather is putting strains on supply from siberia to cornwall so to tell us what's going on we've sent down your bushnell out into the freezing nights good to see you

daniel so who's not getting enough gas and is it causing a problem daniel. what we know is the un or g commissioner goodell says goes from did warn that it made cuts a ploy for three days there have been shortages noted by several european countries including poland likes of italy and austria also but these countries say that this is fine for the meanwhile while they do have enough reserves to cover any shortages now gazprom says it won't be making a statement as there has been no official complaint from those countries which are also suffering from the call the not those worries demand for things like heating so there has been no official complaint yet from will not be releasing a statement at the time being yes from had previously said it's looking at preference in russian consumers which are also suffering from the cold here we are seeing record cold for this winter at the moment european union is saying that is looking continuing to monitor the situation we have also noticed ukraine russia

accusing each other being behind these shortages but neither side has really been confirmed and that is unclear at the moment we do expect the situation to detroit over once the cold situation recovers walls it gets warmer and then we do expect to return to normal for these gas supplies to also return to the normal situation. all right daniel thank you very much that was our correspondent daniel schorr reporting . market watchers expect the darkness of eurozone debt problems to get some light soon ratings agency standard and poor's expects the currency union to gradually climb out of its mild recession and the second half of this year and into twenty fourteen the firm's chief european economist as only shelly c. explains. the risks of the more cvo recession. that could go into twenty thirteen are significant we estimate about forty percent probability

yet i think we have to look at all the fact is there has been some and pillaging devore upwards inside the u. was own and outside the eurozone what we expect is at the moment from emerging markets particularly. a shout to strengthen again in the second half of the and that should be supportive of a very gradual recovery in the euro zone we also expect that investors' confidence will gradually come back. as you walk in central bank continues to provide ample liquidity to the banking sector in the euro zone. most everyone shares this opinion saxo bank is predicting an economic apocalypse with european equity markets losing a quarter of their value this year we asked the author of the bestseller extreme money so that she does which scenario seems more likely to him. well i think the

best way to describe the s. and p. report is whatever they're smoking i'd like to have some as far as the sex a bank report goes i think they are believers in the mayan calendar which believes that the world will end in two thousand and twelve but i think the major thing is that when you look at this situation there is no way that europe is going to have a small recession it's going to have a longer a say shit because the government spending will have to be cut and that has been the major stimulus which kept these economies go the second thing is the banking system in most of these countries is not creating any credit will not be able to create this technically if you are honest about it they are marginally solve the bits and we still have not result the data issues and the real question is what will happen to portugal what will happen to spain what will happen to italy and there is absolutely no result on the part of european leadership and the european economic community because there is really no easy solution. by a second look at the markets and stocks are positive stateside as the u.s.

economy added two hundred forty three thousand jobs in january twice what was expected and this brings the unemployment rate to eight point three percent in the u.s. european markets are also trading posts when taking on the from the u.s. with high hopes for global recovery and pretty much the same picture showing a very successful week the final session and on a positive note more than one point three percent for the r t s and m i six take a look at what it was moving the my six on friday and of course it's paul who's golden suppleness five percent all media reports that his london listed parent will make a buy out of energy shares also looking positive and rosneft up one hundred percent . the headlines are next on.

culture is that so much as i know in which of course you write on it confidential here today as the u.s. presidential campaign become a horse race getting incumbent caracal bamma against republican mitt romney if this is really the case but. the closer team has been to the whole bar of screeching for the country's mineral wealth starts its way across the ocean. now our tea goes to the area. was named after lenin but looking to a different character to represent itself. for local businesses or straw.
