3:01 am
. in the russian capital you're watching r t live from moscow with me arena josh welcome to the program voices from across russia's political spectrum are being heard on the streets of the country on may day and over one hundred thousand people marching communists liberals trade unions as well as nationalist rally in moscow to protest and mark labor day which has seen demonstrations around the world for over a century well we're going to cross to a correspondent a real. sense of moscow with all the latest so read out who exactly is out sounds may the first in moscow today. but you have that numerous tea party while labor movements are marching on the streets of moscow in fact the largest done to my. grayson is taking place right now in
3:02 am
a very big part of the russian capital more than one hundred twenty people are at the demonstration organized by the labor unions and the invited rush of the right team among those people for are with those on the demonstration our president dmitry medvedev and the president elect has been put in their hour of mixing with the people actually walking with them along with one of the main girls there is by the looks of it it's a rather specify activity for most of the people who are here but of course you know a lot of parties and a lot of movements are going to come here and express their political views and maybe some of their opinions as well we do know however that their movements will fair elections and will abstain from this particular demonstration and will not come out on the streets today so we know why is a movement staying home today. while they did plan a large demonstration on may day but they decided to hold out until may sixth and
3:03 am
that's the day before their presidential inauguration obsolescent police and they decided it would be better for them to get all their forces into that particular demonstration so of discontents which is going to take place next sunday and moscow they're hoping to bring out around the million people of course whether or not they will succeed time will tell. was we know already there and over a hundred thousand people were marching today and different political forces are taking part so what exactly are the demonstrators calling for this time. will it when it comes to labor unions they're basically saying that they did not want to raise their pension age they do the retirement age they want equal opportunity rights and basically just told so celebrating the fact that spring is finally here kind of joining god along with some of the basic demands usually put forth by the labor unions where it comes to communists for example there are there of course are still bitter about the fact that their candidate has lost the presidential elections he actually came in second. so they are of course protesting that and
3:04 am
also bringing out the usual communist logans which they had to bring out by the last eighty years or so. was it a full day here in moscow whether it's really great and the mood as you said earlier is why sas the people are welcoming in spring finally but as we know may day or labor day as it is now in the world is internationally marked holiday so how is it going to be celebrated elsewhere. while labor day traditionally has been a workers of workers not even a celebration a workplace holiday was a day to commemorate workers' movement it actually began in the united states so it's only logical of that the occupy wall street movement is also going to hold is also going to commemorate this particular case and they are going to hold a strike and then of course world over you have people on demonstrations in the philippines there will be demonstrations in germany and berlin for example one of the largest ones and also demonstrations are planned in london basically in europe in particular considering the situation in which here in muni and countries find
3:05 am
themselves at the moment that is a very dire situation economically and politically we can expect millions of people to solo show up on the streets on may day of demonstrations as well there. thanks very much for bringing us the latest on this on the background of the stalling ridiculous corkboard there from central moscow. well as we just heard the occupy wall street movement is planning a general strike across the west to protest against what it says is the corrupt global konami system and corporate injustice organizers are billing the event as a spring comeback since the groups in camp and in the u.s. and beyond were dismantled by police last winter but activist in london say the movement is only gaining force. we do something about this unsustainable system and this is the movement for us to do that if we are questioning what we see as a political system that seems to be working. profits before people. intertwined
3:06 am
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 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 and 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 has 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 future. from the suffering of the millions and millions in the world we should be embarrassed of being part of that site given to
3:07 am
us and we should be embarrassed if we sit by and do nothing about. and you see the full entry a weapon at us from the london occupy movement in an hour here on our t.v. . spain has plunged into a second recession despite deeply unpopular stared cuts in tampa to rein in the country's debt ratings agency standard and poor's has downgraded nine of spain's banks while the employment rate of around twenty five percent for maine's the highest in the euro zone economist and currency experts vilhelm hankel says madrid's problems fell worse troubles ahead for the euro. this means a problem not only for spain but also for you will push pressure do for you will be in currency for you all because your cannot remain a currency if more and more complex are becoming go weak economies but the problem is in the no one can a country was in
3:08 am
a monetary union was also it's. the form it serve so according our experience and even our history i can think. of but it needs its own currency and not in foreign currency memories or your will is a foreign currency is vital for a spin to fight against this crisis and against it is an employment and give people especially young people a new perspective but this cannot be done in a case of a monetary union a monetary union is making any national economy does leave of a common of common diseases and this is from your former boss and from other countries and says this of the problem now with age of gearing up for the presidential election in three weeks time it's not just voters being rude but visitors as well the government insists the tourism industry vital for egypt's
3:09 am
economy all bounce back as the political situation stabilizes but that could be just wishful thinking as artie's sarah ferguson now explains. egypt turns an industry with once riding high but recent political problem oil 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 closely tied to tourism well first stop was to meet a woman he could give us a crush cool's into exactly what's happening to egypt's economy right now come two thousand that was the realization came true. 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 this is what
3:10 am
happens you have a dip in g.d.p. and then it goes even faster than it was going to go before the instead of having this ended up having something more along the lines of that. with a maybe go at that and maybe grow that have to decide is whether we manage this versus that and where does it need to be ideally we'd 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 it needs to have been very traditional so that we were approached tourism but entice 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
3:11 am
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 going to. in any way we have we have a big difference between. public and private sphere your private sphere i can't begin to come to. the group and ask you. what what you drink and why you do exist i can't but it's not the private sphere that tourists or investors are concerned with and when it comes to the public life the line is a little different but in public sphere this is right for all people saw i have culture here and the people has to speak this culture religion aside every beating the tourism sector isn't going to be easy they're the after the revolution there
3:12 am
was this hype about you know revolution tourism you know come to tunisia and 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 future tourism industry remains extremely. successful certainly going to depend on whoever comes into government next but that in itself of course is a. streaming on fats and the fat like the tourism industry the entire country right now is in a state of flux and there was quite sure what's going to happen next. and staying in the region in syria more violence continues to further rock the country shaky cease fire despite the presence of u.n. troops monitors. series of blasts rocked the city killing at least nine people and
