it's technology innovations all the developments from around russia we've got the future covered. hello this is the r t news channel it's how posts to here in moscow these are our top stories france will ask the u.n. the world put up serious skies for western bombers another broadside in assad's regime but al qaeda is number two endorsers the rebel leader. a sinister walk in the woods with an infuriated general an opposition journalist claims led to a showdown with russia's top investigator over an article accusing him of my feeling. that the chip should relief over the end of a thirty year emergency rules being short lived as authorities again allow the army to detain civilians ahead of the presidential election run off but in the country it's the countries that women who fear the worst is the story we're bringing here

in full again in the next half hour of news. but with egypt at a crossroads for its future r.t. now talks into a renowned middle east academic about how the arab spring saga he thinks 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 its 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 do 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 as doing that we are still seeing unfinished processes in the country now the people who were in the streets in tunisia in egypt there were young people young and not so young people and only 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 mr

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 tradition but 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 was a very strong egypt but you know personally i know that you know if you use the term arab awakening the 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 islamists 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 too if you have to deal with true transparent democracy processes you it's clear that they will have a 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 representing 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 control 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 know libya and. seeing even in yemen because we don't speak very much about yemen 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 should be shaken for anyone because of 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 is 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're coming from western countries to change dictatorships or to change at least what was happening within the regimes so that's clear now 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 as six one 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 or that yes it's possible we can remove a dictator i would like to speak

a little bit in detail that 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 now 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 framework religiously chief 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 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 does 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 because not only he got 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 do 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 my 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 is 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 people are going and that was happening if you read the newspapers in egypt now what he said is you know the muslim brotherhood going to 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 of 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 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 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 two 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 that nothing against him and he is 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. a symbol to show that we are doing something against mubarak but as to the implementation keeping safe all the interest because when we speak about the egypt will not only speaking about power and military power we are speaking about huge economy interest because the very very involved in many contracts many economy interest is huge and this is in fact the very essence of corruption in egypt tariq ramadan thank you very much rice and to you thanks.

the headlines from seoul ask the u.n. to open up serious skies for western bombers another broadside on assad's regime and what i'll call it is number two endorsers the rebellion. relief over the end of thirty year emergency rule is short lived as authorities again allow the army to detain civilians ahead of a presidential election run off but it's the country's women who fear the worst. and a sinister walk in the woods with an infuriating general how an opposition journalist claims led to a showdown with russia's top investigator over an article accusing him of my feelings. this is not a good to have you with us romans go to sport now. thank

you kevin hello and welcome vis this for an artsy and i'm wrong call for it and the following are just some of the stories that all the coverage for you this hour. plus disaster marry a girl miss bags of braces germany be the netherlands to once you put their arms on the brink of elimination at what it's well. plus heavy blow russia faced self but l.c.f. first fans are caught on camera attacking seward's at the euros. and sands of glory chinese and brazilian beach volleyball stars shine in moscow at one of the final qualification events for the loans in the summer games. football first and germany have all were powered bitter rivals the netherlands two one two all but secure a berth in the quarter finals of the european championships and joachim loves men now need just one point in the last group match thanks to a brace by marriott gomes in the first half almost ensuring germany's passage into

the quarterfinals robin van persie second period goal was not enough to revive poland's as the men in orange suffered their second defeats 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 two and kate partridge watched the game for us. to go three ten months ago and palembang says to remain in the tournament after a thrilling loss goals win in the well in the first off the day completely dominated by finding out the going to go up to twenty four minutes of time and senussi excellent pulling out headed home and it times by the defending and twelve minutes it was to know the both sporting phenomena at the edge of the box his cross make no mistake finding the best they get to make it so you know well the days of the dead. buried in the past all but full minutes before the interval nicklas bendtner popped up on his fiftieth appearance but them are beating the offside trap

to make it so you won one in the second half christiane ever now that could have but what about parts of sides two one on ones with the goalkeeper but the real madrid match up his lines missing bice and denmark took advantage ten minutes ago time back there again on target heading home again so it's a chance what about the points were about to be fed then substitute service to. be made this goal line this is a guy he fluffed his lines of the fashion police ashot a second time he made no mistakes treated supposed to go finished but portugal am 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 two sets of matches germany and social control of group b. while the netherlands hopes of reaching the quarter finals now depends on the outcome of the match day three. else who are defending champions spain are preparing for their match against our legs in guns vicenza the boss his men are the hot favorites to condemn the republic to their second straight defeats and in fact

they could do with all three points after playing out a one old draw against italy in their opener c'est fabregas nets of the equaliser the barcelona star was just one of the six midfielders in that game as spain started without a single striker and use the same strategy against arlen. if you keep moving and you have three years without giving a reference to the french it can work really well you have shown that it works when such plays are his core a great goal not being a striker but through the 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 should the result is a good moment normally you say that the tactic was fantastic. money or because was the right decision. but before that game it's in the face surprised groups the leaders croatia in paul's nine and the. prince harry is full of praise for their

opponents especially after watching them thrash arlen three one in their first match. they can change this used to during the game and they can also give you a very high tempo some of not only terms of both position but also to how intense the food. so this style is completely different from that of supremely mostly because it will struggle to some extent will need to read the game very well but we also have enough quality you know to put the little bit was in the meanwhile you a thought has fined the russian football union one hundred fifty thousand dollars after russian fans attacked sewers during the country's opening match against the czech republic russian fans were filmed fighting with stadium staff in broths love after their team's four one victory it happened after a stewards tried to detain a man being believed had thrown a firecracker he wafer says russia could also be docked six points and it's going to sixteen qualifying group for
