fresh clashes break out tear gas fired at protesters in egypt venting their anger against military rulers in the wake of wednesday's football byelaws that left seventy four dead this is live video you're looking at now from the center of the egyptian capital. moscow says it can't support a new u.n. resolution on syria saying that despite being softened it doesn't address all of russia's concerns. and a close up on the vote all polling stations across russia get their own digital observer as webcams are installed on the orders of the prime minister.

eight pm in moscow i'm mad good to have you with us here on r t our top story fresh clashes in egypt with reports of at least three killed and some four hundred injured as police again fire volleys of tear gas to disperse crowds of protesters we're looking at live video here that we're bringing you from cairo seeing fastens gathered in the center top here square out a rest broke out after wednesday's football violence when seventy four people died in post match clashes protesters blame police for doing nothing to prevent the soccer pitch deaths they're also calling on the military council to step down journalist believes there may be forces in egypt that are banking on the rest. of this stage it's very difficult to see who's behind the violence and whether it was a spontaneous. treated 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 full for rebelling against it. and so. like immediate aftermath of the revolution the police disappeared off the streets and now they haven't returned to full capacity the supreme council of the armed forces since barak's ouster have been trying to sell themselves as the guy 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 is be you to support us as you'll leave is basically the changes that have occurred so far have largely been cosmetic ones to try and give.

me the generals a 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. does what you think about the latest clashes in egypt r t dot com today we're asking you why the cotton has failed to return after the country's revolution last year so far most believe it's because it's the same officials in power now who are under power under president mubarak that are in control of the tapestry of the border think continuing to harass plays into the interest of radical liberal painting per cent also believe that every revolution creates its own downfall about the same number say the unrest per se is because of high unemployment persisting those are out a figure a stack that you can change them by logging not casting your vote at our combat power. and you can see the first hand events unfolding as they happen in cairo at r.t. dot com we're streaming approaches for you live on our website. moscow says it

can't support a new draft resolution on syria although the text has been softened to overcome some of russia's objections it still falls short of addressing moscow's main concerns for more we're joined by our t's marina porton live from new york. the marina so the un seemed so close to reaching an agreement on syria earlier now we have this setback again do you think it's back to square one. i would say square one by the security council is not near the final stage is nowhere near the final stages of agreeing on a draft resolution on syria as the security council enters its fourth fourth day of negotiations major powers are still divided over how this resolution should be drafted and what wording should be used now the russian foreign ministry said that moscow is still committed to talks in these talks are continuing but no vote

is planned for the coming days now as we've been reporting the resolution the draft resolution that was first introduced to the council back on tuesday has been revised and updated to meet some of russia's concerns you know some of those revisions reportedly include the fact that the text no longer is spelling out plans for syrian president bashar al assad to step aside or to relinquish its power it also reportedly deletes a paragraph demanded that you were a member speak number of member states prevent the flow of arms to syria but at this point me we still do not know what are the sticking points we do know that moscow opposes any language that would open the door for regime change in syria russia russian officials have acknowledged that the text has softened but as you mentioned it still does not meet moscow's major concerns now why the wording is so important is because of what has taken place in libya russia china many other

countries believe that western powers misinterpreted the text of the resolution that was passed for libya that allowed for a no fly zone and circumvented the text. and took advantage of what the security council wanted and that's why you have all these member states going through the text word for word and debating word for word because. many countries do not want to leave the door open for misinterpretation of misinterpretation by western powers some of which want to see a regime change in syria. all right artie's marine important i reporter for us there from new york thanks for that update. marcus papadopoulos editor of politics first magazine believes the u.s. is still committed to seeing power change hands in damascus western interest in the conflict in syria isn't guided by. 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 and brutal regimes in the world it follows a pro who 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 full 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 bring in peace to syria. margaret

well. technology innovation all the developments around russia we. have heard. thanks for staying with us here on r t ten minutes past the hour in moscow live pictures from every polling station in a russia will go online with the help of a new web site that was 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 of light of your putin as a step toward stopping fraud during the vote r.t.c. or piskun all as more. 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 to install web cameras at all polling stations across the country so that everyone can watch online what's happening there how much twenty four hours a day. 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 doubt this technology will help make the vote more transparent. you'll get us i'm sure the observers won't be able to check to advance if these cameras work will not. everyone knows about cameras in supermarkets but this still doesn't stop robberies from happening. it's true that every ballot box will be monitored by two cameras one with the general view and another with a close up of the slot there are many ways to rig

a vote and the cameras don't provide one hundred percent guarantee against them but using them should still make it much more difficult to stuff boxes of course there is nothing new. or web cameras but using them to monitor elections on such a scale is a first for a 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 r.t. moscow. well the voting video isn't online just yet but there is a lot streaming right now and you can check it all out at our website our team dot com including this government web sites crane suffer a two day blackout after being caught by a group for shutting down a popular file sharing resources. and international space station crew members will be stuck in orbit for an extra forty five days find out what caused the delay

moscow are coming away in five minutes here on our team but first the business update with dimitri. thanks matt the european union is reporting a fall in russian gas supplies for the straight day the exceptionally cold weather is putting strains on supply from siberia to cornwall to tell us what's going on we sent daniel bushell out into the freezing night what we do know is that e.u. energy commissioner good turd single figures from did warn of potential shortages and for the last three days several states from the likes of poland to italy and austria said there have been caught no there has been increasingly cold weather in europe so that means that the morning has risen but those countries have got reserves for such a contingency the european companies have not complained yet officially which means

it goes from says it's not making a statement because it's received no complaint previously gazprom says that it may preference russian consumers which is also suffering russia is also suffering from fairly cold weather at the moment but ukraine and russia have accused of being behind these cuts but it is not really become clear what the real reason for these cuts is at the moment and we do expect this issue to toilet over where near the called received so more and more determined to normal. market watchers expect the darkness of euro zone 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 in the second half of this year and into twenty famines the chief european economist explains. the risks of the more severe 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 cool edging developments 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 eurozone 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. not everyone shares this opinion saxo bank is predicting an economic apocalypse with the european equity markets losing a quarter of their value this year we asked the author of the best seller extreme money. which scenario seems more likely to have. 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 the 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 it's technically if you are honest about it they are marginally solvent that bits and we still have not result debt 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 the european leadership and the european economic community because the reason really no easy solution. so you look at the
