present revolution obviously which he is a worse candidate simply because 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 smaller where the developments across the border relations between the two countries have been sinking since the toppling of last year a war mongering rhetoric has been stepped up as paula slayer reports set a corner ask these words the muslim brotherhood candidate mohamed morsi is campaigning has launched with a vow that the capital of the arab world will be jerusalem which moves 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 governor as in. egypt is committed to international agreements that were signed wielding 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 very limits 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 kane's. war with israel is in no way something that can be ruled out the clock was always ticking the egyptian street no stranger to anti 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 were even steven kleiber's. but it's now closed

up and became 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 and refused to continue the relationship via head of the israel in fascinating insight . he's a realist the first thirty four us extras are intricate older english. it's a three eighty 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 pursue 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 a consume the islamists at least in public and at least for now are trying to downplay i think 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 feel is that what see today is only a step away from being implemented to move. policy r.t. . there are to will continue to bring you the latest from egypt across the weekend we got updates analysis of the first post presidential runoff from our

correspondents there. champion hard line islamists. hated remnant of the tyrannical image. grapple to control it. by eating some straw. but it's time to come. on out. now the big story this week candid territory versus pro bailout that upcoming greek election which will establish the future of the debt stricken country all eyes are on whether voters will favor the left has said it's a party opposed to the restrictive financial measures or the conservative new democracy which is devoted to keeping greece part of the agreement jacob graves has the latest from athens 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 means job cuts means cuts to salaries and also means cuts the spending from the government all part of this bailout provided by the e.u. i.m.f. and the euro zone has proven increasingly unpopular but still being defended by new democracy now on the other side the fence has to reason out beforehand before the previous elections in may be seen as an outside left radical group now although they're really garnering much more middle ground when it comes to that sentiment of opposing this yes there are two measures being put in place of opposing what's come before them they say there's been too costly for the greek people in their eyes and many greek voters are as austerity simply isn't working to dealing with a mixed bag but one fact remains that present people in greece are still suffering prosperity and a crippled economy. rocketing unemployment and

a crumbling economy of the. more widely known as symptoms of greece's austerity plan but there are some who have lost something far more time to give up caring for their children simply because they can no longer afford to do so. i care for six children we've been through some struggles i'm not only concerned about the future of my kids i'm concerned about everyone myself included in the law if he is part of a charitable program named s.o.'s children this is one of its branches a village of foster homes but now it's finding itself overwhelmed his family seek their help and desperate times our major. source of. income. is from the private sector not from the greek state. and we had to significantly reduce all money just what kind of greece these children grow up in may about to be decided as people head to head to the

polls the most the coming year because it's very important for greece to stay in the euro zone and you knew you were lost without much there though a party's exist on the ballot paper for most this is a choice of two competing thoughts approach bailout voters being embodied by new democracy a party which is overseeing the country's recent spending and job cuts they view us their tea as a bitter yet unnecessary pill to swallow but not everyone agrees that the cost of washed leaving the eurozone is estimated to be three trillion euros and this isn't the cost the eurozone can bear. merging only during may's undecided first election as a reason has continued to hold ground with its radical rejection of a u. i.m.f. and euro zone impose austerity rightly so for i guess the whole. experiment

the but there's the. good measures is going to. the feel of. the perspectives. of this have been far from languishing on the sidelines of far right golden courting controversy for racial and anti immigration stance they continue to hold on to a marginal but symbolic percentage of support for their views remain drowned out by the anxiety and challenges that face this weary nation whoever clinches victory to greece. what a bright to do spot all the troubles at home greece will be open to celebrating the football at least tonight as they face russia in less than twelve time it's the final group game of euro twenty twelve pick up because men only need one point now in order to make the tournament quarterfinals two thousand and four champs greece are aiming for nothing but a win in order to stand a chance of making the knockout round you can find out the latest in roman sport

bulleted in the next hour. you're watching r t from moscow now the euro zone's third largest economy all too well italy next is also seen tension with public fury a deepening austerity cuts but an elected leaders a mass demonstrations underway right now in rome from where we're joined by our correspondent sara firth we might not have a very good connection to are going to try to charge her anyway sara hi there now i can see you this all looking good now we've seen protests across italy before time and time again what's different about this one today where you are. well thousands of people turning out it was a work his union march in saying that people joining that protest were complaining about the high taxes high unemployment especially youth unemployment and of course the timing of this very interesting if you're seeing now the discussions of a very real possibility that some of these countries actually like the thing the

year you know we were speaking. to some of the people he turned out to this large march and they were just saying that these austerity measures that have been crippling the country just aren't easing up when you cast your mind back to last year and we saw a technocrat a month elected as the new prime minister he was tasked with fixing the the country's finances unfortunately they that tough economic medicine that he's prescribed has really angered a lot of the talents anything that evidence by the large numbers that turned out today to join that march and as we said you know where it's a couple of years ago the possible exit from the year it was something that would have been lost that well no one's laughing anymore and it really is something that's being discussed as a very real possibility a year almost a course on greece tomorrow. with this tidal wave of economic down. across the e.u. how far can sings go to the center of the street how far can things go before a rescue maybe turns into recovery what are people saying. well there's

a lot of people who will now say that it's not an issue about recovery is more of a when a not if there is an exit from the year is there now as we said that would have been lost that a couple of years ago and year it's got to. do with a huge amount of cynicism but this is a very real possibility now and i think a lot of people we've been speaking to realize that there's a sense that you know this province being kicked down the right time and again and now it is really coming home then and they say she's now have to be addressed of course as you said it's the third largest economy and it's least really been struggling with soaring borrowing costs and of course it looks to some of its neighbors it looks to countries like greece and spain and it can very much emphasize with a tight supply of them's that they're experiencing you folks to some of the italians you have a bit of a jake about the fact that with the u.a.e. twenty twelve people at the moment they're no sure how prestigious the win would actually be given the past the way it is with greece and saying and of course i

think the troubles that they. countries are going feed they're experiencing very very similar thing and it could be a wealthy time a lot of the famous one years now that you're talking about it being month it could be days where we could actually be saying good bye for the year all together yes sarah ferguson very interesting times on there thanks very much for you the update there from rome. still to come for you this hour as well when journalism becomes a jail sentence. shooting a video camera is a lot more dangerous of us in shooting a gun find out why a growing number of reporters in america father themselves behind bars just for doing their jobs. and it happened in the last china sends its first female a sort of op into orbit prompting a surge of national pride for the entire space program across the nation we've got the latest pictures for you. u.n. observers say their mission in syria is becoming riskier by the day now as the fractured nation fails to holt's more than
