visions 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 the choice between a member of the mubarak regime and a member of the muslim brotherhood. major selections also being followed closely by the country's neighbor israel there are fears anti jewish sentiment on the rise since mubarak's ousting will spike if an islamist candidate comes to power paul asli has the story set are going to ask these words the muslim brotherhood candidate mohamed morsi is campaigning he's launched with a vow that the capital of the arab world will be jerusalem which most drawn 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 as governessing as ever egypt is committed to international agreements that were signed or hearing the treaty with israel or egypt and should have the right to amend all that is not

in their interest to go make sure the other departments stop what it is sign 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 these real 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 makeshift simmering below the surface is hostility towards israel but that's hostility was kept in check during the bike's time the top floor of this building used to house days we need to see fiber 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 not the next president will be strong and change the status quo and if used to continue the relationship. headline is really fascinating insight.

he's a realist the first three here for us extras are intricate older english. it's a three eight israelis can no longer ignore i don't think that. anybody should close ones our eyes 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 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. 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 a consume the islamists at least in public and at least for now are trying to downplay i think they're 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 through this year r.t. kyler. were closely following developments in egypt here to stay with us if you can for the latest updates and expert analysis from the first post mubarak elections. championing blind. hatred remnants of a tyrannical. rabble to. subscribe. but instead to come.

on. greeks a gearing up to make one of the most crucial financial decisions in the recent history whether to stay in the euro support before sunday's election is said to be divided almost equally between two parties left wing said it's a strongly opposed to a stereotype and conservative group new democracy which wants to want to bail out obligations oxys jacob graves is in athens. this is really become a two horse race about two differing schools of thought one of them is backing the waves of us there are two you've already seen which have been growing increasingly popular that means job cuts means cuts to salaries 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 now that has proven increasingly unpopular but still being defended by new democracy now on the other side the fancy house series an hour

beforehand before the previous elections in may these are seen as the outside left radical group now although they're really garnering much more middle ground when it comes that sentiment of opposing this. 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 voters eyes austerity simply isn't working dealing with a mixed bag but one fact remains that president people in greece are still suffering prosperity and a crippled economy rocketing unemployment and a crumbling economy are the more widely known 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 by going to care for six children or we've been through some struggles i'm not only concerned about the future i'm concerned about everyone myself included in the law if these parts

of a charitable program need s.o.'s children this is one of its branches a village of foster but now it's finding itself overwhelmed it's found we seek their help in desperate times our major. source of. income. he's from the private sector not from the greek state. and. yeah we had to significantly reduce all money just what kind of greece these children grow up in maine about to be decided as people head to head to the polls the most they come here because it's very important for greece to stay in the euro zone and you know you were lost without asking myself though eight parties exist on the ballot paper for most this is a choice of two competing thoughts the pros bailout voters being a body by new democracy the 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. much in the cost of botched leaving the eurozone is estimated to be three trillion euros and this isn't a cost the eurozone can bear. merging only jury may's undecided first the late show that's a reason has continued to hold ground this radical rejection of a u. i.m.f. and euro zone impose austerity rightly so for i guess the hope hope about this nearly but experiment the measures is going to end and the fear that. the perspectives are going to be cut by the elections others have been far from languishing on the sidelines the far right group golden in the dorm courting controversy known for racial outbursts and an anti immigration stance they've

continued to hold on to a marginal but symbolic percentage of support their views remain drowned out by the fees anxiety and challenges the faces wearing nation who have a cringes victory to greece ossie athens. meantime public going has spilled out onto the streets of rome today with the talons protesting it ever growing cuts and unpopular employment and tax policies it's fair the country which is the euro zone's third largest economy could be next in line for a bailout sarah furth been following that rally. thousands of people had. it right to the word his genius much that precise thing against the continued austerity measures that have crippled because families fighting fire on employment in particular you got employment cost you my back last year and you had taken a prime minister mario monti coming and he was a mess affects the country's finances but that some economic medicine that he

perspired has really engaged italians here you can just see the large number of people that it stand out so this march today the signing of it significant because of course people the discussions around with the very realistically discussing the possibility of leaving the old together in a still standing the next question is which will be the next film in a couple of the face of the day has really had a large part of the progress honestly here is inspired largest economy has seen its foreign cost absolutely saw the impact that the saddle people's lives has a very significant of course this isn't something we see this you know in stone building for a long time you go greece ireland portugal spain spain which is just recently has a balance of souls and a lot of people think it's going to be following in the first that the other

countries got a full state bailout in recent times remember just a couple of years ago either being allowed to mention the possibility about the year i've been handing about the end of the year is saying well just a couple of years on and those same people and now very realistically discussing the possibility of the disintegration and the break up of the year is the question that everyone's asking is what now happens next are we close to saying good bye hold together to the year right how will that impact this country if it is actually going may. the usa is next this hour that was that but i think right. the head of the next few minutes china's most ambitious space mission today launches a spacecraft for the first. went on a mission that will see the attempts of dogs. coming up also police in the united states seem to think that camber is more dangerous these days and i've got at least

that's the impression some journalists say they get when faced with tough police action and protest rallies. the pentagon says it's tracking a russian military cargo ship as it makes its way to syria with weapons and troops reportedly on board u.s. intelligence believes russia is sending a vessel to help fortify its naval base in the country's port of tartus well moscow has denied those claims but said several ships are ready to head to the syrian base if the situation worsens get across is that his ego has been off he's in moscow with the latest details what can you tell us about this situation. just a few days after hillary clinton accused moscow of supplying military helicopters to see the claims which were not supported even by the pentagon and denied by moscow we're getting new comments from the united states this time from senior military officials who claim that moscow may send a small military contingent into syria they're talking about small military small

navy cargo ship which is allegedly on its way from the black sea maybe fleet or to . jewel the port of tartus in syria which is a used by russia to refuel service and restock russian ships in the mediterranean and according to their information on these claims of the ship. arms then some military personnel on board and russian media is according on. diplomatic and military sources in moscow to see one of the all or just a landing. ships off the black sea navy fleet is allegedly on standby with marines on board ready to seal off the tortoise actually we've also heard from senior air force officials in russia who also say that they're ready to provide protection from the skies if the president decided to send any maybe forces to try to just to protect. the port its personnel and russian citizens if the situation calls for it

ok now if everything you've mentioned there how is that going to have a knock on effect on the current conflict in syria is it going to affect it at all . well right now it's really hard to predict anything when it comes to syria the violence there is continuing and so are the claims by some western nations for foreign military intervention washington even says that it may intervene even if it means bypassing the u.n. security council there's speculation in the u.s. media that while reported leave that plan to go on has already completed its plans for military operations there moscow is the strongly against any foreign military intervention calling for all sides to strictly stand by the coffee on a peace plan in fact russia is saying that these calls for foreign military intervention are all the supporting and reassuring the rebels which is actually leading to even more while it's in syria ok. moscow the producer today.

who just get this news as well now universe is in syria say they've suspended activities in the country because of escalating violence we'll bring you more on that news launches come in the last hour we spoke to agnes merriam yesterday from a christian ministry in syria centrist in chad coming up and she says armed rebels are playing games with the u.n. monitors. the word of deferred is in the word to where a follow on to the scene or to tell you in the native world would end the people as they have seen their militia and carrying out of around the national hospital in toledo corpse in arms a blanket after ministry of their escaping then to assemble then in a mosque and the second day we have seen the un observers coming to these very modest to be able to look to see the saws. it's not what is said. to me would kill those people international hospital then carried them under.

and to give them to the opposition does exist why i'm here for all and a possibility to show them we say they're all on the story or you end up sort of elysia men we don't know who they had the island of position there's many strengths each one of those factions are working independently it's why it's very difficult to then you would say i had much more lines of karma website will reveal that toxic fall from america's agent or a tree may have spread from vietnam to japan with is that massive caches of the herbicide bury for decades and i poisoned a nearby island more than online. and the privacy settings overlooked silicon valley titans yahoo and microsoft have been cashing in on our personal views of data selling it a political campaign is over that of mine to. china has launched

a milestone space mission to perform the first ever man docking with beijing's prototype orbiting station and on a way to orbit as well as china's first ever woman astronaut they blasted off in the last hour to the chance of nine spacecraft blasted off from the launch pad of the gobi desert in northern china the astronauts will spend ten days in space where they'll test the craft ability to dock up at orbit. hopes to establish its own permanent space station by twenty twenty. he says china's going full steam ahead right now with its ambitions. this is their big test to show that they can do it with people on board they can do it with a mix 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 plan a nother 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. 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 that will be really unique and tailored to what china hopes to accomplish in space . still to come this broken promises. i think it's an issue i think it's

hard for us to you know richer a is 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 us just as abiding as president obama fails to close the guantanamo bay military prison we get reaction from people on the streets of new york. post for moscow time more world news in brief twin car bomb explosions have rocked the iraqi capital has killed at least twenty five and injured dozens the blast targeted neighborhoods where thousands of shia pilgrims had gathered to mark a religious festival the violence was the latest in a wave of attacks on shia muslims in recent weeks with seventy killed on wednesday now qaeda linked group in iraq said it was behind the bombings. plans or that the restarting of two nuclear reactors the first to go back online since all the countries plants were closed after last year's fukushima disaster the decision despite massive public opposition could open the doors into more restarts among

japan's fifty working reactors the officials say the move will help to avoid power outages and will fasten an economic recovery. saudi arabia's crown prince next in line to the throne has died in a hospital outside of the kingdom prince nayef was appointed in october after the death of his elder brother to king said saudi king abdullah and there was also the country's interior minister and deputy prime minister to next in line is expected to be the prince's younger brother. just doing your job could land you in trouble especially it seems if you're a journalist covering protest rallies in the u.s. these days some reporters have accused the police of acting outside the law to suppress media freedom and he's a nice to see chuck and i reports. dramatic scenes unfolding in a must cover vent for journey. 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 puts. on it. and i just. tried to tell him that i'm a journalist. people out my state department grief ation asked whether i have four new york police one unfortunate death one expired keil writes for 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 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 you never bring right away here. station give you brooms trash cans and

child and you're 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 i treat that professes to have a undying respect for the free press to be you know like throwing reporters in jail i think i was exposed 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 by 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 things in oakland they require a local oakland press. in new york they've been rejecting trespassers from other jurisdictions shipper 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 has also been sending journalists through a vicious circle not of 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. shouldn't 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 you're going to fourteen. the grand total of by a detention center infamous for its military trials and allegations of torture appears to be stuck in limbo these days president obama has so far failed to fulfill his promise to shut the facility down the new york resident took the issue than on to the streets of the big apple. 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 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 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 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 this 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 committed more outrageous so is the issue then what to do with these people if the prison is closed yes where would you say that none of the states wants to take them so we send them to yemen saudi arabia and they will escape and join the forces account 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

a lot easier to say i'm going to close then actually go through with 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. in a few minutes we're looking at the challenges serbia's new president facing a special interview that's coming up after an update of our top stories in a minute and a half from now. the
