forecasting around the world and around the clock you're watching r.t. . thousands of angry egyptians say their country's democracy is going nowhere even as the nation heads to the polls for a runoff presidential vote the muslim brotherhood's mohamed mersina faces i asked him about iraq's last prime minister ahmed shafik but whoever wins will step in without the islamist dominated parliament which has been dissolved by the supreme court back here with judges ruled that the recent parliamentary elections were on though for the ruling military council has now assumed the making authority even the president now is to be determined by a constitution which is still in the pipeline kyra based human rights activists don't know but he's neither name that is a viable option. there's a very very big chance that mass protests arise in the case that either pacifi or morsi win because suddenly many people see that both of them do not represent the revolution obviously he is a worse candidate simply. is he represents 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. egypt's neighbor israel is more than aware of the developments across the border with ations between the two countries have been sinking since the topping up my barrel last year and war mongering rhetoric has been stepped up that's part of their reports set a corner when 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 with morsi trying to liberate it 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 as governessing as ever egypt is committed to international agreements that were signed by hearing the treaty with israel or egypt and should have the right to amend all that is not in their interest to go and make sure the other departments stop what it is signed as if it's not warming enough for israel what will happen to the nine hundred seventy nine peace treaty with egypt big players who've put their weight behind most his presidential bid have been even more bold in the canes and how 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 bikes time the top floor of this building used to house the israeli embassy in cairo but it's now closed up and make it a sign is rabies fear of what's to come. for egyptians it is really see public

enemy number one the next president will be strong and change the status quo i refuse to continue the relationship mubarak had was really fascinating insight. he's a realist the first for us president tricker older english. it's a three to israelis can no longer ignore thing that. anybody should close ones and ignore such rhetoric that's. the. 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 islamist dominated parliament and gave morsi is contender majestic the green light to stay in the race but it's done little to calm israeli fears of an islamist government on its border boyish and severe 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. 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 and consume the islamists at least in public and at least for now are trying to downplay i think so it won't do to make some trouble here but no trouble. but maybe israelis are worried because in the ruthless business of politicking easy points are scored by using the jewish state as a punch bag and what israelis fear is that what see today is only a step away from being implemented to move. policy r.t. . well to stay with r.t. for the very latest from egypt i will have updates and analysis of the first post about presidential runoff throughout the weekend. hardline islamist. remnant of

a tyrannical. grappled with. by eighty six. but it's time to come. on. its anti austerity versus pro bailout of the upcoming greek election which will establish the future of the debt stricken country while eyes are on whether voters will favor the leftist series of party opposed to the restrictive financial measures or the conservative new democracy which is devoted to keeping greece apart of agreement parties objected graves has more now from athens. now on paper when it comes to voting day on sunday well there are eight choices eight parties available this is really become a two horse race is about two differing schools of thought one of them is backing the waves of austerity we've already seen which have been growing increasingly

popular that means job cuts means cuts to salaries and also means cuts to spending from the government all part of this bailout provided by the e.u. i.m.f. and the euro zone now that has proven increasingly unpopular but it is being defended by new democracy now on the other side the fence has to reason now beforehand before the previous elections in may these are seen as quite the outside left radical group now although they're really garnering much more middle ground when it comes that sentiment of opposing this yes there are two measures to be put in place of opposing what's come before them they say there's been too costly for the greek people that we've seen too much unemployment and that has been the g.d.p. shrinking of the economy shrinking over the last since two thousand and eight by about twenty percent so in their eyes and in many greek voters eyes austerity simply isn't working and they're trump card in this argument is they say they can

guarantee voters not only an end to austerity but they can do it without them leaving the euro itself fast because they say if we simply too costly for the euro zone to ditch greece at this stage at the moment course there is this sense of hope and fear fear that their decisions if it was to go for some reason could lead to an exit from the euro that's something that really don't want in the country even those who are willing to vote for some reason a lot still very wary of that year exit of course that hope they get pretty much everything they want an end to this crippling austerity has really been hurting people in the midst of this recession. well despite all the troubles at home and greece will be hoping to celebrate something in the football tonight there's a face rush in this ten twelve hours time is the final group game of an era twenty twelve. russian team need only one point in order to make the torments quarterfinals while two thousand and four champs greece are aiming for nothing but

a win in order to stand a chance of making a knockout stages we find out the latest in a month's course but in the next hour. well still ahead for you this hour when journalism becomes a jail sentence. shooting a video camera is a lot more dangerous to the stabbing and shooting a gun found out why a growing number of reporters in america are finding themselves behind bars just for doing their jobs. and china gets ready to send its first woman into orbit prompting a surge of national pride for the entire space program across the land. the . comfort is the least you have.

the word of deferred is in the word and two were flown to the scene there to tell you what their internet of war would end the people they have seen. varying out of from their national hospital in the court of arms of blankets of ministry of health screening them to assemble them in a mosque and the second day we have seen that the u.n. observer is coming to these very modest to be able to see these laws because it's not possible is it. odd to me who took even those people international who was returned then carried them on the in the blankets and they gave them to the opposition does exist why men have all under possibility to show them their own story doors or you end up sort of elysia men we don't know who they are to the island a position they have many say that each one. absorbs factions and one independently

zits why it's very difficult to then you would say odd i mean while the u.s. claims moscow has sent a ship with troops on board to protect its military base at the syrian port of tartus russia has denied these claims but said several ships are ready to head to the base if the situation worsens what you see confidence has more. just days after the u.s. state department was forced to back away from secretary of state hillary clinton's controversial remarks alleging that attack helicopters were on their way to syria from russia new comments from the u.s. military officials who boarded an american news outlets saying that moscow has sent a small contingent of armed forces in order to protect its deep water port and military base in the syrian city of tartous now according to sources here in moscow russian forces are ready and are on standby if needed in order to protect russian

assets and personnel there but have not been deployed as of yet the base in tartus was established during the cold war era in order to protect the soviet fleet in the mediterranean sea the last time that russian swore ships were in the area was as recently as january when they were there in order to refuel and perform routine maintenance within the port it is important to remember that as the crisis in syria unfolds so it does it seems to be the escalating tensions between the u.s. and the government of president bashar al assad there are all kinds of foreign fighters rebel groups involved in the conflict in syria and of course it is the ordinary citizens that are paying the price. but find out more about that and any other story we're covering today by heading to a website auti dot com on a. day israel's blockade of gaza becomes a health hazard because new reports reveal water in the air is severely can

terminate. it's. also online pakistan or sorts to google to track down militants in the country's volatile what designs are details on that story and much more at r.t. dot com. now china is gearing up to the launch its first female astronauts into space later in the day the only two male colleagues they'll have to hook up with beijing's the fortune with you that's been in orbit since last september when the astronauts will conduct scientific tests are expected to return home in about ten days and she hopes to establish its own station in all but by the end of the decade the time managing editor of space dot com says china is going full steam ahead to. this is their big test to show that they can do it with people on board they can do it with a mixed crew. 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 in 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 then in two thousand and three the first manned launch and 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 china is really relatively new but they're trying to focus on what they can do. successfully and

will be really unique and tailored to what china hope to accomplish in space. and after some other news making headlines around the world this hour at least seven people have been injured in northern spain during clashes between striking coal miners and police officers were fired upon a skyrockets and ball bearings and they tried to remove roadblocks and burning tires police responded with rubber bullets and tear gas for thousands of miners have been on strike for weeks protesting against plans to cut government subsidies . paraguayan has deployed the army to resolve the landis puton the eastern part of the country the nation's interior minister and chief of police have resigned after clashes between offices and landless farmers left seventeen people dead the fighting began after police tried to evict protests from a forest reserve promising the land was illegally taken by the country's former military rulers. mian maher opposition leader aung sun suu kyi

has arrived in norway to deliver the nobel peace prize speech won the award two decades ago but could not accept it in person fearing she'd be blocked from re entering the country first trip to europe since being released from fifteen years of house arrest winning a seat in illinois parliament. and courageous daredevil has become the first person to complete a tightrope walk across niagara falls more than one hundred thousand people gathered to watch thirty three year old nicole and complete the five hundred forty eight meter journey over the roaring waters thrill seeker is a seventh generation member of the flying wallendas and holds six guinness world records for completing various stunts i took him two years to convince u.s. and canadian authorities to let him complete the walk then he was forced to wear a safety harness in order for them to agree and had to present his passport on the other side. i think on

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 the creasing number of reportedly being arrested just for doing their jobs and says he has more. 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. ask whether i have your police on unfortunately that's one expired keil writes for a daily russian newspaper and has worked in the us for the last three years old

don't prove you have they don't really care that just you just business and you credentials can't really protect you sit 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 for his punishment for doing his job covering the news of the day and then there were the two days of community service the universe bring right over here this inefficient station give you brooms trash cans and child and you basically walking around sweeping the streets because of the debris paper cigarette about whatever kid you is now on probation for six months it is an outrage in a country that professes to have a giant respect for the free press to be you know throwing reporters in jail. but this case is not unique rather it's part of a dangerous trend in the us why. 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 that in new york they don't care even if you have a press pass i've watched i've 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 at d.c. p.d. processes nothing in oakland they require a local oakland press and i in new york they've been rejecting 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 at least agencies to determine which press and 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 next to cover a story near impossibility in the fast paced 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 on. 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. sitting a video camera is a lot more dangerous to the stablish myth 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 that it sure can a party heal. but open for more than ten years the going ton of

a detention camp appears to be in limbo the deadline set by president obama to close it came and went two years ago but no detainees has left in a year when next our very own new york kristensen 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 so 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 of 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 guns out of bed just an example of our imperialism of course it is an

example you know because you want to impose democracy even though 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 this 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 that u.s. justice applied to them so yes i think it's an issue if 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 you shouldn't. and that's i don't know going to know where you're going to turn 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

prison is closed yes where we just are 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 us 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 now it's a lot easier to say i'm going to close than 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. but the back of the headline shortly with r.t. .
