either the old morsi win because many people see that both of them do not represent the revolution obviously he is a worse candidate simply because your presents the mubarak regime that the destroyed egypt for decades but the muslim brotherhood are also losing huge amounts of popularity with every day because of their political decisions what is next yes many people will return to the streets and lots of alternatives will be formed especially in this upcoming period in response to the horrible situation that we are in which is to choose between a member of the mubarak regime and a member of the muslim brotherhood. or egypt's neighbor israel is more than the where the developments across the border relations between the two countries have been sinking since the toppling of about last year and war mongering rhetoric has been stepped up a policy in airports set a corner with these words the muslim brotherhood candidate mohamed morsi campaign

was launched with a vow that the capital of the arab world will be in jerusalem which morsi wanted to liberated six weeks on the contest is as tight as ever with morsi a strong contender to be egypt's next president and his promise is governessing as ever egypt is committed to international agreements that were signed including the treaty with israel egypt and should have the right to amend all that is not in their interest to go and make sure the other party commits to what it is signed as if it's not warming enough for israel what will happen to the one nine hundred seventy nine peace treaty with egypt big players who've put their weight behind most his presidential bid has been even more bold in the claims but the war with israel is in no way something that can be ruled out the clock was always ticking the egyptian street no stranger to empty israel sentiment and despite the worries about stability in the revolution the elections simmering below the surface is hostility towards israel but that hostility was kept in check during the bike's

time the top floor of this building used to house these weighty embassy in cairo but it's now closed up and became a sign is rabies fear of what's to come. for egyptians it is really split and i mean number one the next president will be strong and change the status quo i refuse to continue the relationship mubarak had with israel in the last continue to fight. he's a realist the first you know for us the ex-president should cut all the relations between us it's a three it israelis can no longer ignore i don't think that. anybody should close ones and ignore such rhetoric that's. not only very negative but it is alarming but a muslim brotherhood victory is not a done deal on thursday egypt's constitutional court dissolved the islam has dominated parliament and gave morsi is contained. the green light to stay in the race but it's done little to calm israeli fears of an islamist government on its

border or a sense of be reduced to zero but the real problem is to what extent will the brotherhood pursue its goal of trying to destroy israel and kill all of us i don't sell i way i would actually say that the main security danger to israel today and for the next two years is not iran but the situation in egypt a concern the islamist at least in public and at least for now are trying to downplay i think is entitled to to make some trouble here but not trouble. you know but maybe israelis are worried because in the ruthless business of politicking easy points are scored by using the jewish state as a punchbag and watch israelis fear is that what see today is only a step away from being implemented to manage. policy r.t. . stay with our tape the latest from egypt but have updates and analysis of the

first post mubarak presidential run off throughout the weekend. hardline islamist. remnants of a tyrannical. rabble to. subscribe. to stamp. on. during the boom years arlen's construction industry reached new heights but it seems they were building a house of cards that would come crashing down when the economy tumbled it's left whole neighborhoods in a number of the country cities with few a sure way anyone can breathe life into them what is there smith reports. there's a new word in island no armored it's when properties repossessed by the national asset management agency as it owners go bankrupt during the celtic tiger boom

banks handed out cash to property developers like monopoly money now islands littered with ghost estates homes and shopping centers that nobody wants this is a classic example of the death of the celtic tiger in this small town north of dublin the plan was to move the entire town center to this location shops and apartments were starting to be constructed and then four years ago the crash and the site has been like this unfinished on lived in ever since jimmy gilmore has seen the boom and bust first hand a pub owner in les town outside dublin his sleepy hamlet exploded from three thousand residents ten years ago to eighteen thousand now but the housing stock grew even more creating a situation jimmy says epitomizes what's gone wrong in ireland. that's sort of sums

up where we are in this country at the moment we're all suspended we're waiting for something to happen we don't know but can we move forward or when we're going to move forward i think. these empty units. those states are finished the states just believe it's a picture of where we are psychologically people round here tell stories of being offered millions of euros by banks for development projects building houses and shopping centers for which there was no market but the problem was that banks here and financial institutions believe they were doing the right thing so they were basically shoveling money at people who cared and saw that people were chasing it and building housing but nobody needed between nine hundred ninety one and two thousand and ten island nearly a million. new houses unsurprisingly a recent report says more than three hundred thousand of them now live vacant and

that's just the ones that are finished another highway another housing development this is white field mother and inside that there are around thirty houses about a third of which remain on occupied to this day on the other side of the road the developer had planning permission for a further three hundred houses in the end he built the gate post and then nothing more this developer didn't go bankrupt and a representative told us they still plan to finish the estate at some point but locals can't imagine that happening i cannot see any construction taking place in this country the next ten years we have an oversupply of everything between houses and retail units. but i honestly do believe that we have hit the bottom if we can get over this you crisis starts at stations where i think you can start to. people over the years. it's survival of the fittest meanwhile someone

male colleagues they'll have to hook up with beijing's your prototype space station that's been in orbit since last september but eric malik managing editor of space dot com says china is literally trying to push the envelope with its own business program. this is their big test to show that they can do it with people on board they can do it with a mixed crew a mix of veterans and new space flyers for them it's a major milestone this one may last up to two weeks you can see a longer mission just to really push the edges of the article to show what these spacecraft can do what the astronauts can do and how long they can stay up there based on the technology that china has has built today trying to plans in other manned flight to the space module possibly later this year or early next year and what china has done in just the last decade has taken a stepping stone approach to human spaceflight so they went with unmanned launches first and in two thousand and three the first manned launch. what we saw last last

year was the first unmanned docking at this space module the chinese the third country after russia and the united states to develop human spaceflight and it really looked at the success of russia's program the experience that nasa had to to shape its own independent program they've also just learned from the errors and the successes of those two programs so well you see where you see a long decades long legacy of russia and the united states trying is really relatively new but they're trying to focus on what they can do. successfully and that will be really unique and tailored to what china hopes to accomplish in space but some other news making headlines around the world at least seven people have been injured in northern spain during clashes between striking home. offices were fired upon the skyrockets bearings. burning tires police responded with rubber bullets and tear gas thousands of miners have been on strike for weeks protesting

as a preview of what's ahead. i don't see why true and serbia. become the member of the european union provided all the conditional disarm at. the same time. with major economic partner as russia is anyhow you with russia are partners not de force so because the national assembly had adopted five six years ago a resolution declaring the military neutrality of serbia. serbia within the present constellation is politically determined not to become the member of nato on the other. to tuition costs of war as a part of the country so no politician. disobey the basic principle is as stated in the constitution of the country.

america's first amendment guarantees freedom of the press but many journalists covering some of the country's major events are being hounded rather than protected an increasing number reportedly being arrested just for doing their jobs message as the story. but. dramatic scenes unfolding in the u.s. a must cover band for journalists that the idea i showed them and apparently that wasn't enough for the new york police his press pass feeling to pass the test this reporter got arrested while covering the occupy wall street protests no muss no fuss officer just. something. and i just. tried to tell him that i'm a journalist. people out my state department grief asian asked whether i have your policeman unfortunately that's one expired keil writes for daily russian newspaper

and has worked in the us for the last three years or don't prove you have they don't really care that just you just business and you credentials can't really protect you sent through a whirlpool like legal system the seasoned journalist was treated as a protest participant under arrest twenty four hours behind bars a quickie trial six hundred dollars in fines were his punishment for doing his job covering the news of the day and then there were the two days of community service the what universe and bring right away here was an efficient station give you brooms trash cans and child and you basically walking around sweeping the streets picking up the debris paper cigarette about whatever keep you is now on probation for six months it is an outrage in a country that professes to have a i'm giant respect for the free press to be you know really throwing reporters in jail. but this case is not unique rather it's part of

a dangerous trend in the u.s. when you lapse the state controller who is a journalist that's just propaganda team pool is an independent journalist who has witnessed police reject press passes on a state by state basis throughout occupy wall street protests in new york they don't care even if you have a press pass i've watched i. watched a cop grab a journalist with his press pass on the ground i've seen supervisors call out to grab a journalist press pass and take it from him d.c.p. processes in oakland they require a local oakland press. in new york they've been rejected trespassers from other jurisdictions have a first amendment which guarantees the freedom of the press i mean there is no nothing in the law which must police agencies to determine which press are legitimate press and which are not requiring a press pass it's also been sending journalists through

a vicious circle not of just people work with guessing games of which state might be the next person near impossibility in the past these world you have to prove that you've covered breaking news but it's hard to cover breaking news in the police won't let you so creates this catch twenty two take several months finally if they like the news you're making they'll let you get a pass. arbitrary or unattainable press passes demanded journalists arrested for covering the news the constitutional concept of media freedom under siege i think we're slowly coming into a state of affairs where. shouldn't a video camera is a lot more dangerous to the establishment and shooting a gun choosing to view his arrest as an invaluable cultural experience he treats it with humor i got two articles out of my experience so it's pretty good outcome for me freedom of the press in america a first hand account is the situation our fourteen new york. but open for more than

ten years now the content of the bay detention camp appears to be in limbo the deadline set by president obama to close it came and went two years ago but the detainees has left in the yeah right next to a very a new york resident is out and about seeking opinion on the streets. even though president obama promised to close the prison at guantanamo bay or get him out it remains open why this week let's talk about that and i think the logistics of closing it of prevented president obama from making it happen do you think it was a mistake for him to make such a promise no i don't i think that. i think he's i think you still committed to the policy he's trying to roll the rock and it's a tough rock to roll i say that i'm ready to be fed up but both the u.s. imperialism you should deal your own issues first and then you will deal we ve

issue of the world after a get is one time obey just an example of our imperialism of course it is an example you know because you want to impose democracy even some countries and you're not even able to impose democracy in your own country i think it's an issue i think it's hard for us to you know portray as being the sort of promoter of human rights while also keeping people in prison for as long as they have without any trials or any any chance to have us just as applied to them so yes i think it's an issue do you think it's fair for us to hold them indefinitely absolutely not so what does that say about the u.s. . says we're in a difficult position right now that make it ok to hold people without knowing if they're guilty of anything probably not it says that you guys want to control the world actually. and he shouldn't. and that's i don't know going to know what's going to turn him away shouldn't exist actually some of them are very guilty and how do you know that. they released some of them and apparently they turned and

committed more outrageous so is the issue then what to do with these people if the president is close yes we would just not none of the states wants to take them so we send them to yemen saudi arabia and they will escape and join the forces again so i don't think the. president of the united states really has the power to close guantanamo i mean what would you have to do with the people who are there yeah i have no idea which is why i'm not in politics but that is the question right the lot easier to say i'm going to close that bet actually go through with that whatever you think is the reason that get my remains open the bottom line is it probably won't be closed for a very long time. i mean back in just a few moments for the headline statements. the
