a.t.m. of the russian capital you're watching r.t.r. marina josh welcome to the program a voice is from across russia's political spectrum will be heard on the streets of the country on may day communists liberals trade unions as well as nationalists are set to rally in moscow to protest and mark labor day which has seen demonstrations around the world for over a century all how cross to our correspondent we're going to go to school to hear what we have a good morning to read so what exactly will be taking place in moscow today and just who are we going to see on the city center. well as you said numerous the demonstrations are planned in this day today there will be fourteen in total with about fifty thousand people by estimate showing up for at least the communist rally which is going to take place a little later on tuesday but we are expecting a lot of course the labor unions marches down the disguise street just in the center of the city and of course various political groups are also going to come

out and some of them are going to celebrate the labor day others of course are going to continue with their political agenda and their statements well we've seen mass protest stage during recent elections in russia so why is the movement staying at home today. yes that's right the fair election women decided that they wanted to hold out until this weekend until till sunday the day before the presidential nod curation so they can kind of put all their might seem to that show of protest instead of coming out on may first and mixing with everybody else that's going to be out on this day but as you already said different political forces will be taking part in today's events so what are they calling for what exactly are there. well for example that communists are still upset with there is also fraud for the elections and there of course that has been a longstanding communist tradition to come out and mark may first so for. well the

communists definitely are going to have a lot of slogans and a lot of a lot of demands take up they're still sore as i said about the parliamentary elections and about the presidential elections as well others of course are going to push for fair wages and opportunities they and everything else that usually comes with their labor day demands all right well of course it's not only russia that's rallying today as you know labor day or may day is marked internationally so what's going to be happening elsewhere. well we know that there will be demonstrations in germany germans have been very enthusiastic about about coming out and marching on may first of course there are also demonstrations planned in london and overall you can expect some show of discontent in europe which has been finding itself in a very troubled waters financially economically and politically recently so we can expect may first to be quite a show of discontent and not just in moscow but all across europe all right erin

thanks very much indeed for bringing us this update on the labor day and what's going to be happening in moscow here in english for one. well alse were the occupy wall street movement is planning a general strike across the u.s. to protest against what it says is a corrupt global canonic system a corporate injustice organizers are billing they use that as a spring comeback since the group's encampments in the u.s. and beyond word dismantled by police last winter but activist in london say the movement is only gaining force. we have to do something about this unsustainable system and this is the movement for us to do that. questioning what we see is the political system that seems to be working with profits before people it's one to the corporations we also question the idea of regulates you both ways being managed by the people that might be regulated eventually the rest of this world will realize that they've been groped and that they are being put into subjugation it's very clear. from the movement from the beginning that the economic system is on its

last legs what's happening in europe what's happening in greece is it's just a symptom of this disease it's an economic war and that's that weapon is debt that really rang a bell with a lot of people this disease is going to continue to get worse unless we actually as as people as a grassroots movement actually take control of all of this economic system that's been run by very few people and it's just been completely out of control i think the movement is moving more towards a revolutionary solution rather than a reformist for any human being in the situation where they can benefit. from the suffering of the millions and millions in the world we should be embarrassed of being called that human rights and we should be embarrassed if we sit by and do nothing about. it while you see the full interview with an activist from the occupy from the london occupy movement in twenty minutes time here on r.t.

. was it shipped gearing up for the presidential election in three weeks time it's not just voters being booed by visitors as well the government insists the tourism industry vile for egypt's economy will bounce back as the political situation stabilizes but zack could be just wishful thinking as for us now. egypt's tourism industry with once riding high but recent political turmoil has hit the industry hard and in the new political landscape this talks of bringing in new roles and regulations relating to it and there are serious concerns that that could leave the industry with even less business. everyone in egypt is hoping that the economy will pick up pace and with post economic growth so closely tied to tourism our first stop was to meet a woman he could give us a crash course into exactly what's happening to egypt's economy right now come two thousand that was. theoretically we would have continued to grow and

along the same slow that's what should have happened. and then the recession in most countries worldwide when the recession happens you have a dip in g.d.p. and then it goes even faster than it was going to go before so that having this ended up having something more along the lines of that. with the maybe grow about maybe grow that sets of you decide whether we manage this versus that and where does it need to be ideally we need to stabilize and stabilize fast and at least recover the seven percent growth we had originally with the aim of reaching that ten percent growth within the medium term which is five years. and how big a factor is tourism in the economic model tourism of the instrument so you have to keep the proceeds and you have to change your approach to it and i mean in the been very tradition the so that we were approached tourism but enticed sing back

tourists may be impacted by a growing islamic influence in the political sphere the tourism industry are very concerned with regard to bans to alcohol bans of public beaches this kind of thing proved to be another risk to potential investors to find out how real a risk these concerns are we met the speaker of the party is considered a more fundamentalist islamic group and since the revolution has gained the second most seats in parliament we don't going to rest in the way we have we have a big difference between. public sphere and the brave it's through your private sphere i can't begin to come to. the book and ask you why you do what you drink and why you drink this i can't but it's not the private sphere that tourists so investors are concerned with and when it comes to the public life bellowing is a little different but in public sphere this is right for all people and we saw we

have culture here in egypt and the people have to speak this culture religion aside every beating the tourism sector isn't going to be easy they're the after the revolution there was this hype about you know revolution tourism you know concerts and engine come to egypt and you know it was very obvious that that wasn't going to be a very sustainable model at all and it turned out to be true and now what we need to do is work on. just like what we were doing previously we need to work on maintaining our monuments and restoring our monuments and we need to work on making people feel the future tourism industry with maine's extremely unclear its excesses seriously going to depend on whoever comes into government next but that in itself of course is extremely unfair and still like the turn as an industry the entire country right now is in a state of flux and no one's quite sure what's going to happen next.
