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. for egypt's neighbor israel is more than aware the developments across the border relations between the two countries have been sinking since the topping off barrier last year and war mongering rhetoric has been stepped up as part of their reports set a corner ask these words the muslim brotherhood candidate mohamed morsi is campaigning is launched with a vow that the capital of the arab world will be in jerusalem which morsi drawn into 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 as governessing

as ever egypt is committed to international agreements that were signed eluding 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 to what is their sign 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 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 mic sions 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 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 had was really fascinating insight. he's a realist the first year for us the extras it intricate all the english and i mean . it's a three to israelis can no longer ignore thing that. anybody should close ones and ignore such rhetoric that. 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 coalitions will be reduced to zero but the real problem is to what extent will the brotherhood purse its goal of trying to destroy israel and kill all of us. 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 islamist at least in public and at least for now are trying to downplay i think is entitled to some trouble here but. 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 what israelis fear is that what see today is only a step away from being implemented to move. policy r.t. visa. or to stay with r.t. for the very latest from egypt i will have updates an analysis of the first post about presidential runoff throughout the weekend. champion hard line islamists. hated remnant of a tyrannical agent. grapple to control it. by each

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 still being defended by new democracy now on the other side the fancy house arrays are 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 using this territory measures 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 there's 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 is a face russia invest in twelve hours time is that final group game of an era twenty twelve. russian team leader in the one point in order to make the torrents quarterfinals two thousand and four champs greece are aiming for nothing but a win in order to stand a chance of making the knockout stages and find out the latest in

technology innovation all the developments around russia we've got the future covered. u.n. observers say the mission in syria is becoming riskier by the day as a fractured nation fails to hold more than a year of raging violence the country is currently seeing one of the most serious escalations and that shit since an international truce was brokered two months ago that's when it reports the u.s. military has completed its own planning for american troops to conduct operations against the syrian government russia has resisted western pressure to condemn present ourselves regime by continues to call for both sides to stop fighting and sit down for talks are to expect from a christian minister in syria who says blaming on the government troops is wrong. only word of deferred is in the word to where a follow on to the scene there to tell you in the night of war would end the people

dawned on us they have seen their militia and carrying out of from their national hospital even though corpses arms of blankets of ministry of very scary thing then to assemble then in a mosque and the second day we have seen that the u.n. observers are just coming to these very modest to be able to see these laws. it's not possible is it. odd to me who took even those people internationally who was returned then carried them in the blankets and to give them to the opposition does exist why men have all under possibility to show them their all in their story or you end up sort of elysia men we don't know whom day out of the island a position there's many students each one. absorbs factions and one independently

suits why it's very difficult to do and you say on. 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 a top helicopters were on their way to syria from russia new comments from 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 tardis 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 warships 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. we'll find out more about that and any other story we're covering today by heading to a website called on it. today israel's blockade of gaza becomes a health hazard because new reports reveal water in the air is severely contaminates. 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 launch its first female astronauts into space later in the day the with 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 she hopes to establish its own station in all but the end of the decade the time managing editor of space dot com says china is going full steam ahead to that somebody. 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 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 and 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 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

. now to 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 when 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 undisputed eastern part of the country the nation's interior minister and chief of police have resigned after clashes between offices and landless father has left seventeen people dead the fighting began after police tried to evict protesters 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 scituate won the

america's first amendment guarantees freedom of the press but many journalists covering some of the country's major events of a found it rather than protected increasing number of reportedly being arrested just for doing their jobs and. not. dramatic scenes unfolding in the us 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 good cops on me. and i just. tried to tell him that i'm a journalist. people out my state department agreed to be asked whether i have your police or unfortunately that's one expired keil rights for daily russian newspaper and has worked in the us for the last three years or they'll prove you have they don't really care they're 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 they would you never bring right away here was an efficient station give you a broom. and you basically walking around sweeping the streets picking up the debris paper cigarette bugs whatever kill you is now on probation for six months it is an outrage in a country that professes to have a undying 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 when you lapse the state. control 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'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. the processes going on in oakland they require a local oakland press. in new york they've been rejecting trespassers from other jurisdictions have a first amendment which guarantees the freedom of press i mean there is no nothing you know which last at least 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 just people work with guessing games of which state might be next to cover story 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 it 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. 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 this is our team new york. but open for more than ten years the guantanamo bay 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 i extol verio in new york 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 for making it happen city think it was a mistake for him to make such a promise no i don't i think. 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 a bad just an example of our imperialism of course it is an example you know because you want to impose democracy even if some country said 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 know 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 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. by the back of the headline shortly with r.t. .

this is r t a time for the headlights down egyptians head back to the polls for the second round of the presidential vote but many are angry at the choice they've been left is the mist is facing off against a remnant of the old regime as protests to say neither represents the revolution this is the ruling generals take over the making of the parliament next in the judges. one day left until a pivotal greek election we look at the feeling among some voters and the choices they're faced with greeks will decide whether to continue with severe austerity a choice which will split up the country's future in the eurozone. as u.n. observers say rising violence in syria is jeopardize they are not peace plan party
