a free and fair elections in a country that is still under military dictatorship so according to election officials in the first round of elections the majority of votes in numbers were not cast for either show feet or morsi so what we have here i believe it looks like a staged a kind of a staged election though we're looking at how in the real problem in egypt is the cycle of privilege and this is the problem that the if you gyptian the really want democracy then we're going to have to face the same problem that we have in the united states and european countries which is the same people who are involved with the security services is embedded politicians or leagues and wealthy families have the same cycle of privilege to get out of that cycle i don't see it happening in the near future. syria's opposition group is urging military action in the gulf in the country i should say by gulf states kofi annan warned the arab league ministers

meeting that syria is slipping into an all out war and finally it's already slipping into neighboring countries political analyst. who talked to us earlier from beirut where at least ten were killed in recent clashes said we're already seeing a domino effect obviously it's a scary situation and situation a loved one could escalate door open war especially in tripoli area and a lot of people warn about this because this is a continuation of what is taking place in syria i think there's a lot of people in tripoli in northern lebanon been chipping arms to syria funded by qatar arabia qatar you've been very counterproductive in this process and they've been given money and weapon and given all the protection of the opposition . we can see somebody doesn't want the stability of lebanon it's
5:07 pm
a very dangerous situation and syria is facing the prospect of civil war and this has consequences and lebanon will be definitely affected by it but president vladimir putin has called for patience to let kofi annan says peace plan work in syria resisting pressure to assume a tougher stance against the regime concerns over nato missile shield and the euro zone is also came into focus as the russian leader met his german and french counterparts in berlin and paris tests are silly as has been following the talks. they have talked about energy issues also in terms of increasing trade between the two countries let's not forget that the e.u. is the trading partner of russia the e.u. as a whole and that vestment coming from this continent to russia is definitely significant and they also touched upon issues that concern them both such as that of a nuclear nonproliferation and again stressing the fact that the two countries are
5:08 pm
indeed partners but in terms of that partnership there is of course still a tension especially when it comes to the anti missile defense first of all and had stressed the a position of france it accords with its other international partners saying that b.m.d. is not aimed at russia however russia said that in the past they had had a god verbal promises but that is not enough. in the past we've often been promised that we wouldn't expand then we were promised that nato wouldn't put military hardware near russia but we've seen it expand and its bases spread we need guarantees but i'd like to say we're not going to escalate this discussion. partners to engage in dialogue now syria of course is high on the agenda before a bloody mary putin went to berlin and to france at the paris there had been statements from the two countries saying that they will try to get moscow on board russia maintaining that it is not siding with assad nor is it siding with the opposition now this has come under fire from the u.s.
5:09 pm
secretary of state hillary clinton who said that by not taking sides that in fact will contribute to escalating the violence in the country well certainly this is not how it is or putin of use the situation. where no discussing the tragedy in a syrian town where fourteen or fifteen people were killed some of them were actually tortured as well this is stirred up the world's media but how many civilians of actually been killed at the hands of the so-called militants have you looked at that body count now as far as francois hollande and putin are concerned they both of stress that they are looking at a diplomatic solution that this is still the ideal and to solving the crisis. in syria however it has to be pointed out that there are differences say they're approach a law in saying that more sanctions are necessary to put pressure on the assad regime will putin saying that this is ineffective citing past examples for example in iraq or libya he was questioning security level at this point today. allowed here naval academy a professor says he's been forced to leave his job after an interview with r.t.

a democratic path which may come into question those who have found themselves on the pressure from the authorities for speaking to the media find it especially surprising that things like that happen in morden day europe they say they never wanted to harm their homeland but they want the democracy to prevail after all. the r.t. reporting from latvia and estonia. anger is growing among american taxpayers who see billions of their dollars spent each year on keeping inmates on death row and that's as u.s. schools and universities face billions in cuts are just medina cost never has been in california hearing growing calls to end the death penalty. well in his twenty years as district attorney of allie county john van de camp was involved in the conviction of a good number of people who were sentenced to death he says with the years of legal wrangling keeping people on death row doesn't come cheap and is
5:14 pm
a constant drain on resources to try to death penalty case you have jury that specially paul so you basically have two trials and that takes a very long time to go to jerusalem to go through the jury process you also have to have special counsel appointed another is an automatic appeal there's a cost of appeal all of these procedures make the death penalty a big and expensive business for the state since nine hundred seventy eight taxpayers have spent more than four billion dollars in capital punishment in california alone or about three hundred eight million dollars for each of the thirteen acts a-q. sions carried out since then and with the average costs of keeping a person in prison at around twenty to fifty thousand dollars a year this coming november california is said to vote on whether to scrap capital punishment in favor of life without parole today in times of deep economic
5:15 pm
recession the debate is shifting from traditional arguments about the morality of x. a kill shot and focusing instead on the cost effectiveness of the state's death penalty program ronnie sound deval is among those californians who stand for in atlanta the death penalty her phrase in the justice system was shattered when her sixteen year old son arthur was wrongfully convicted she now believes the money spent on capital punishment can find a better use put more cops on the street put more police officers trying to solve crimes i mean there's a lot of places where the money would say can go to we're showing benefit the community activists claim. dropping the death penalty puts california on track to save one billion dollars in the next five years the money desperately needed by the state now running a sixteen billion dollars deficit however some say dropping the death penalty could provide difficult because of the special interests involved in what's being dubbed
5:16 pm
the prison industrial complex that's an industry that is not serving anything right now except for special interests we're up to the point where if we continue to keep this hunger for do her justice what we're going to be doing is cutting those people off the honorable law enforcement people from their pensions with the state of california facing bankruptcy it seems its moral compass is being guided by the draw of cash not affix much in the question the archie reporting from los angeles california. now the internet is supposedly the people's platform but increasingly where users are left a little bit over what theme is growing censorship artie's been asking people in new york whether they see it as protection or restriction. the internet has only been around for a couple of decades now is it our right as human beings to be able to access it
5:17 pm
freely anytime we want this week let's talk about that absolutely the internet is for everyone it was constructed to be and information and we should all be able to drive on it and what about children and porn and i think that's of the parents to control it not up to government though you are in control of what you access on the internet not anyone else. pick up whatever book i want to pick up and assign concept yes anything they want but maybe not at work so there should be restrictions of where you view what you're viewing so i think the efforts to stop it bring in the government and everybody else to try to regulate i don't know that you can be done right they're just going to muck it up even more probably that's what i'm thinking i'm thinking you're thinking right now that maybe there should be warnings you know like that video came out about syria recently and before i watched it on you tube they said you know be careful if it's you're going to see a lot that you may not want to see so that is
5:18 pm
a type of regulation it is ok so maybe a warning just to let people know what they might be in for right but other than that i think people should be able to post whatever they want to be should be able to access misinformation and porn as you watch absolutely and be the judge of it yourself you know let people make their own decisions you know some people are idiots but most of us aren't. here do you think that the internet makes you more eighty it's out of us the name if the internet weren't around. that's a good question because you know sometimes the information you get from the internet isn't as reliable as it would be from a book people don't proofread which appears often as they probably should but you've got to it also teaches you to be a little bit more. to take everything you hear with a pinch of salt right it's or it all comes together i guess if it is very free then that's going to be for you know for. speech and all that good stuff too i guess and you think it'll remain that way forever yes even though it's just in its infancy you don't think people are smart enough to figure out how to make money and control it. no it's too big. whether or not you think the
5:19 pm
internet should remain free and honest forever the bottom line is that's probably unrealistic so you might want to practice responsible googling now. let's take a look now at some other news making headlines around the world and american drone fired to a motorbike you northwest pakistan killing two suspected militants the incident happened near the town in south waziristan one of seven districts in pakistan's tribal region it was the one thousand drone strike in pakistan this year and the continuing strikes have complicated negotiations between islamabad and washington over reopening supply routes through the country to nato troops in afghanistan. at least eight police officers were injured and more than seven hundred people arrested after violent clashes between near not season and time out to groups in
