the left the ride and almost every political grouping in between are marching in russia this may day. over a hundred thousand people are expected to be on the streets today but the fair election movement is biting inside one till the weekend more details just ahead. of the chip set to vote for its new leader of the country's vital tourist industry is hoping democratic rule will help a bounce back out what's concerns however that islam is growing power will stifle it further. the world's top was a lower julian assange it reveals more secrets in another blockbuster interview this time with the new president of tunisia watch it later today here on r.t. .

in the russian capital you're watching r.t. live from moscow with me arena joshie voices from across russia's political spectrum are being heard on the streets of the country on may day over one hundred thousand people are expected to march communist liberals trade unions as well as nationalist rally in moscow to protest to mark labor day which has seen demonstrations around the world for over a century well we can now cross live show correspondent ridiculous is in the center for us it's got the latest blow to rena so tell us who exactly will be out on this may first and moscow today. well which is start with the largest demonstration which is taking place in moscow right at this moment at the united russia party along with that a young labor forces are marching down the main street one of. the main streets in

the russian capital they're expecting up to a hundred and twenty thousand people to take part in this demonstration they have their slogans out there balloons and they are expected to be joined by none other than the president and me to meet it if was also expected to visit to take part in the demonstrations of course also the communists are going to come out is through just a little later during the day as well as the leftist and the rightist parties and the national movements all of them are going to take part in that in the demonstrations and in the russian capital all in all around more than a dozen of such demonstrations are going to take place throughout the day except for of course the movement for the fair elections which decided to abstain this time around ok well as you said we've seen mass protests stage during recent elections in russia but why is the movement staying home today. while they have they have been demonstrating of course especially after the the parliamentary

elections which took place in december of last year again tens of thousands of people were out on the streets but they have decided to hold out on this may day and wait until the day before the presidential inauguration the main occupational to put in is going to take place on may seventh so the movement for fair election decided that they wanted to have a mass show of protest on may sixth on sunday and they're calling it a march of millions hoping to gather around that amount of people out on the streets of moscow on time and as we know different political forces will be taking part in today's events so what are their demands what are they calling for. well if you look at the at the demands of the labor of the labor unions they're asking for not to lower the not to hide numbers are not to raise the pension age they're also probably for us their. work employment opportunities and of course the cop the

general may day slogans like world peace and just a general more or less deliberate tory of the may day slogans as well that of course they have the communists who are still unhappy with the results of the presidential and the parliamentary elections and their leader has taken second place in the presidential election so they're still bitter about that and they're still saying that they want to that they want something changed in that regard and so those are the demands of some of the parties which are going to be out on the streets in moscow on may day. while reading from what you just told us earlier the atmosphere in the city center today is quite festive and as we know may day or labor day as it is now in is celebrated internationally so what is going to be happening elsewhere. well we know that the demonstrations are taking place in philippines of course we can expect the demonstrations to take place in europe as well europe is not doing that well economically politically financially so we know

that there will be protests in berlin for example in germany in london people are also going to come out and in a for demonstrations and a show of protest and of course the occupy wall street movement cannot ignore this day which traditionally has been for workers' rights they're going to carry out a strike in the united states so we can expect a rather large a show of people on the streets worldwide on may day. ok thanks very much indeed for bringing us the subway from central moscow reporting. well as we heard the occupy wall street movement is planning a general strike across the u.s. to protest against what it says is the corrupt global economic system and corporate injustice organizers are dealing the event as a spring comeback since the groups and campaigns and the u.s. am beyond were dismantled by police last winter but activists 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 if we are questioning what we see is a political system that seems to be working with profits before people it's intertwined with the corporations we also question the idea of regulated bodies being managed by the people that meant to be regulated eventually the rest of this world will realize that they've been robbed 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 and this disease is going to continue to get worse unless we actually as as people as a grassroots movement actually take control. of this economic system that's been run by very few people and it's just been completely out of control and i think the movement is moving more towards a revolutionary solution rather than

a reformist for any human being to be in a situation where they can benefit shoeshine boy much. from the suffering of the millions and millions in the world we should be embarrassed of being part of that same human rights and we should be embarrassed if we sit by and do nothing about. well you see the full interview with an activist from the london occupy movement in just over twenty minutes time here on r.t. . spain has plunged into a second recession the spy deeply unpopular astaire and cuts intended to rein in the country's debt ratings agency standard and poor's has downgraded nine of spain's banks while the unemployment rate of around twenty five percent for maine's the highest in the eurozone economist and currency expert hankel says hundreds problems spell worse troubles ahead for the euro this means problem not only for spain but also for a whole you will push pressure do for you will be in currency for you all because

your cannot remain currency if you are more and more complex are becoming go weak economies but to leave a problem is and. can a country was in a monetary union. it's. the form it serve so according oh experience and even the. budget needs its own currency and not learn from currency namely easy your will is a foreign currency it's vital to force be to fight against this crisis and to gain an employment and give people especially young people a new perspective but this cannot be done in a case of a monetary union and one if you are union is making any national economy does leave of a common of common diseases and this is since from your. and from other countries

and so is that a problem where they'd have to carrying out for the presidential election in three weeks time it's not just voters being wooed but visitors as well the government insists the tourism industry vital for egypt's economy will bounce back as the political situation stabilizes but that could be just wishful thinking as artists are for of explains. egypt turns an industry with one's writing 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 both economic growth closely tied to tourism office 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 and eleven. theoretically we would have continued to grow

along the same slow that's what should have happened and then there are in most countries worldwide when the recession happens this is what happens you have a dip in g.d.p. and then it goes even faster than it was going to go before sunset of having this and that having something more along the lines of that. with a maybe go at that and maybe grow that set 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 first 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 traditional so that we were approached tourism but enticed thing back tourists

may be impacted by a growing islamic influence in the political sphere the tourism industry are very concerned with the go 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 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. the private sphere you bribed i can't begin to come to. the book and ask you why what you drink and why you do exist i can't but it's not the private sphere that tourists are 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 so we have

culture here in europe 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 in 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 safe in the feet should be just tourism industry remains extremely clear success especially going to depend on whoever comes into government next but that in itself of course is extremely onsets and still like the tourism industry the entire country right now is in a state of flux and no one's quite sure what's going to happen next.

a clue. what it's like to be an ordinary person losing. more you million look you know after the interest of millionaires a multimillionaire as the british public feel increasingly detached from politics because they feel their representatives are not representing damn. well he's already revealed some of the world's deepest secrets and he's ready to share even more episode three of joyous show premieres later today here on r.t.e. imus previous interviews were to have has been lying to your opponents on the extremes of middle east politics have caused a real media buzz this time of year talking was the new president after nisa a doctor and human rights advocate who came to power in the arab spring wave of revolt so what challenges does he face what are his views on human rights in tunisia you watch the program at eleven thirty g.m.t. but here's a little taster but i wonder how long i just spend spend four months confinement but. the prime minister in tunisia spent more than ten years in sort of confinement

and i always admired him and efforts and how he could you know survive through this kind of experience but because after just four months i was just talking to myself you know i really crazy i was crazy because you know when you have just to talk to yourself to be. to be alone with yourself for all this time you it's terrible experience this is why i think it's a kind of. psychological torture and so many people say look you have never been tortured in prison no i was under torture but it was another kind of torture and probably one of the worst i think that more than thirty thousand people have been tortured. and for them you know they're always angry for their. people. all the torture and then go back to play with their children and listen to music you know have

a normal life and then i've never understood how. how can. you know. except to those things like this and be sure that you are. that you are still a human being so. how how can you survive through this kind of experience i think when you know this when you know that you are fighting for your human rights for good values then you can have enough resistance you have to take to the situation.
