now the main stories we're covering for you this hour france will ask the u.n. to open up syria's skies for western bombers and another broadside on assad regime by al-qaeda is number two endorsers the rebellion. a sinister walk in the woods with an infuriated general allen opposition journalists claims led to a showdown with russia's top investigator over an article accusing him of my feelings. gyptian relief for the end of the year emergency room a short lived as authorities again allow the army to detain civilians at the presidential election runoff with the country's women who fear the worst. with

egypt at a crossroads for its future r.t. now talks to a renowned middle east academic about how the arab spring saga will pan out. tariq ramadan you're a professor at contemporary. oxford university and also you are a professor at the faculty of the stomach studies in qatar and it's great to have you with us today sir so i know the situation in north africa and the middle east it's very complex and there are a lot of players involved in it. there's one trend that seems to be undisputed and it's rising and it's rise of islamist movement throughout the region could anyone have really predicted that kind of an outcome and even the

pro-democracy protesters or the rebels did they know that this would happen i think that we if we want to talk about the whole situation and the results that we see in the first once again i'm not using the arab spring as a concept or even revolutions arresting that we are still seeing unfinished processes in the country now the people who are in the streets in tunisia in egypt there were young people young and not so young people and the object was to get treated the dictator and the regime so they want to treat them dignity and justice and less corruption they were not expecting anything and it was beyond any ideological trend what happened as a second step is the presence of people who were in the opposition and had historical credibility no one can deny the fact that in tunisia in egypt the islamist president they had

a popularity and they were tortured so the first reaction was coming back to make reference and supporting to keep. who had this historical tribute it doesn't mean that it's going to stay the same doesn't mean that we are going through steps to be seen but what we have seen when what we are now witnessing in egypt is still very complex is not yet done i'm not sure even at the time i'm talking to you that the muslim brotherhood are going to win the election i might always almost sure that it's going to be the opposite and we all this process is the coming back of the old regime with a very strong army in egypt but you know personally i know that you know if you used the term arab awakening and said arab spring could you have predicted this sort of an outcome yes anyone who is studying the region and look at what is

happening knew. that in fact the slimiest have a very important role in order countries it's true in morocco it's true in libya it's true in tunisia in egypt in syria even today and in other countries so if you have to deal with true transparent democracy processes you it's clear that they will have the rule now the rule being the leading force in the country this was not expected i would when i was asked about this before i was saying thirty percent presenting thirty percent and in fact if you look at the parliamentary elections in tunisia they are thirty percent in egypt is exactly the same after the first round of the presidential election it doesn't mean that in the future in the coming future things are not going to be seen that were not expected either which is a kind of controlled democracies and the army playing

a very important role behind the scenes all strategy can economy interest controlling the country as we are seeing now we need bia and. seeing even in yemen because we don't speak very much about him and if you go to behind no one is talking about and it's present that as a fight between sunni and shia why does more than this this is a shaken petrol monarchy no petrol in a key should be shaken for anyone because the the interest and the strategic interest. in the region so we better keep quiet with what is happening there talking about the strategic interests you know the question that everyone's asking over here could arab appeal this take place without western sponsors so my position on this is mixed by saying if this is why i'm using the concept of i think that's something very specific happened over the last two years first to

speak about you know people starting to be in the streets and changing everything. influence and nothing done beforehand i think this is simplistic and then naive i have studied what happened then we have interacted bloggers and cyber dissidents we were trained we've been in the west to push towards this so that. we are coming from western countries to change dictatorships or to change at least what was happening within the regimes so that's clear to see that everything was under control everything is coming from the west i think is going too far we also have to take the political side of the story but the economy side of the story for the americans as well as for the european countries they needed a change in the regime in order to keep the markets why we have new actors in the market and many five actors that directly the monopoly of this relationship between

the middle east and north african countries and the west china india. russia south africa and latin american countries to decide which is turkey so it's complex and we need to get a less naive understanding i'm not saying that it's a big conspiracy i'm saying it's now the time we can see if the people in the streets are able to go towards true democracy processes by refusing to be under control and to have democracy under control this is one position and the second one for me which is very important is there is something which has changed over the last two years is this intellectual review lucian in the arab world that yes it's possible we can remove a dictator i would like to speak a little bit in detail about egypt right now the constitution is still not drafted

it's going to be drafted problem much later so the president is going to be elected and he's you know he's going to know about his powers only after he's elected and the constitution will also of course depend. on who is elected the president can't even talk about democracy with this given fact no we can't and i think that you know i'm very tough was dissent and studying what is happening if inductively you call was the last election i'm sure to tell you the truth that the last election was we will be transparent and they have a problem with the way it was done just even before who can be in and who is out of the way these candidates was chosen by whom and then you come to the committee that has to work on the constitution and this was stopped so you elect someone as a president with executive power without having a clear free more. power and do we destroy the state the structure that's very

weird and i think that this is where we are now and we were told no just we are going to solve the problem with the presidential election that's not going to happen and look at what is happening. now so we have even people saying we have to stop the whole the process because even the fact that we have someone who is representing the all regime. how come. here they were saying that we need to put in the constitution that the people who are from the old regime cannot present themselves for the next ten years but you cannot come was just because it's not in the constitution and is going to be written after the election it's a mess there is no transparency and how can you speak about democracy procedures if there is no transparency in the way it's put so in egypt i'm very worried about what is going to happen talking about chafee a former egyptian prime minister under mubarak he still has a lot of support i mean a lot of people were shocked that he actually got to the runoff does that mean that

there's a lot of people in egypt who are actually favorable supporting the old regime so if you think that the elections were completely transparent you have some questions to ask because not only twenty percent but if you look at all the other. he also got almost twenty percent so that means that approximately forty five to fifty percent of the you are still supporting the old regime for all of this to come to this result is strange and then you see how the candidates were put you know omar suleiman being inside and then they removed him and they kept someone who is ready and my sense of all this is that we are not dealing with a transparent process we are dealing with calculation and calculation means that i think that never from behind the scenes the army lost control of the situation so this is made sense and it might be that even the muslim brotherhood way used to be

the visible legitimacy to something which is happening from behind the scenes so they were. the instruments of the coming back of the regime and the instruments of change do you think there's a chance that he could become president i mean shafiq yes i think that there is a great change that he can come and that the people are going and that was happening if you read the newspapers in egypt now what he said is you know the muslim brotherhood kind of be trust they want to have been playing with the army so there is a campaign here so i think that it might be that he will get the majority and the muslim brotherhood will be in a situation that this report to process and they were involved in the process they would be unable to say it was not transparent because if the ride for in the first round so makes sense here is shafique might be the next president i don't know what

is going to happen with the people but if there are demonstrations my sense would be that the army is going to be very tough with the demonstrations if shafique is being elected now if the muslim brotherhood are coming which i think it's less likely fifty fifty or a no i don't think it's fifty fifty i really think it's a game where the army has already decided that it is the right one to do to promote if that's the case if he's elected president do you think you will pardon barack i think that this business about mubarak is strange because the people are not reading the rules what is known is you know all the others have been acquitted and then there's nothing against him and he's the three and there is a rule in egypt beyond it for you can't be condemned so you are going to be left and now they are appealing against this. condemnation and he's eighty

three it's very likely that it will take one year and he's going to be lost in the whole process so i think that this kind of condemnation is met. symbol to show that we are doing something against mubarak but to the implementation keeping safe all the interest because when we speak about the egypt or not only speaking about. a military power we are speaking about huge economy interests because the very very involved in many contracts many economy interests these huge and this is in fact the very essence of corruption in egypt tariq ramadan thank you very much for this interview thanks. for comfort is the least you have. the money

thank you carrie hello and welcome with this is sports on our t.v. and i'm wrong call for event the following are just some of the stories i will be covering for you this hour. the foot in the door germany with the continental powerhouse battle against the netherlands while denmark came up short off another year old twenty two eps and sation against portugal. plus russia are punished after fans are caught on camera attacking stewards at the euros. and the limbic calends ound chinese and brazilian beach volleyball stars shine in moscow at one of the final qualification events for the lawns and summer games. football first though and germany have overpowered bitter rivals the netherlands two one to all but secure a berth in the quarterfinals of the european championships and a joachim loves men now need just one point in the last group match thanks so brace by mariya gone as in the first half almost ensuring germany's passage into the

quarterfinals robin van persie second period goal was not enough to survive holland as the men in orange suffered their second defeat in a row bert van marwijk squad now have to crush portugal and hope that germany don't drop any points against denmark while the gritty scandinavian side came from two goals down against portugal but still lost three to watch that game for us. to go three ten months ago and palembang says to remain in the tournament after a thrilling loss was when in the well in a fenced off that they completely dominated by finding out the board to go up to twenty four minutes of time and seen us excellent happy time and advised by the defendant and told me it was to know the both sporting phenomena at the edge of the box his cross make a mistake finding fault with a mistake and to make it soon. well the days of the dead and buried in the past tom but full minutes before the interval nicklas bendtner popped up on his fiftieth appearance but them are basing the offside trap to make it so you won one in the

second half christiane ever now that could have put notable acts of sight to one on ones with a goalkeeper but the real madrid man from his lines missing bice and denmark took advantage ten minutes before time back here again on target heading home again so you'd say and what about the points were about to be fed then substitute sylvester ala he made this goal line this guy he fluffed his lines of the fashion in these ashot a second time he made no mistakes treated suppose he got finished by portugal one time out and we can all three points now could be the so-called quit the day. so this is how the table looks like after its sets of matches germany in social control of group b. while the netherlands hopes of reaching the quarter finals now depends on the outcome of match day three. elsewhere it's attending jam in spain or preparing for their match against arlen's in dunn's besides the boss his men are the hot favorites to condemn the republic to their second straight defeat and in fact they

could do with all three points after playing out a one all draw against italy in their opener says club record snit's of the equaliser the barcelona star was just one of the six midfielders in that game as spain stars is without a single striker and could use the same strategy against arlen's. if you keep moving and you have serious without giving a reference to the french it can work but it will have shown that it works when such plays are his core a great goal not being a striker about great movement so i think it's it's not about what system you use it's about how do you. how do you play them. i mean the result is good no might normally you say that there that that big was fantastic on the. money or big bush was it right this issue. all right before that game it's a face surprise group c.

andre village borsch in march and turned chelsea's season around and call have lost just three matches out of twenty one on the sale so russian owner roman abramovich will be relying on the new manager to bring in more silverware. while of that chelsea champions league triumph also meant them had to settle for europa league football next season despite finishing fourth domestically and that could be the reason why spurs have just blared manager harry redknapp after four years in charge the sixty five year old leaves despite guiding the london sights of their maiden champions league appearance in swensen says he's already had a rollercoaster year he was heavily linked to the england manager's job before roy hodgson took the hot seat and was cleared of tax evasion charges a few months ago. and in tennis and murray has been dealt a heavy blow in his preparations for wimbledon as the world number four stumbled at the first hurdle at the championships in london the britain had received into the

second round and was facing my friends and his opener but the top seed and defending champion of what's far from his best on the grass court of the queen's club as he lost the first set six three however murray found at least some of his rhythm in the second to win it on its side break but still what out after conceding the close to the decider on another break as murray returned into the net to suffer a show defeat however he seems to be unfazed. when there's no need for me to you know most of. the first fruits are. also out early was american and erotic as a four time former champion lost to add to a large role share of us along also in that side three setter the lesser known frenchman would stoop twenty two aces by roddick to what it six four four six seven five. while france is to manage all will for its own god completed
