without the legislative branch now the legislative branch refuses to disband because the the argument is that the authorities of the state the judicial and legislative cannot dismantle each other so the parliament cannot dismantle the judicial then branch and the judicial branch cannot this dismantle the slate of in the form of the parliament so we are heading towards probably a clash between the elected parliament on one side and the possibly the supreme council of the armed forces on the other but also with the appointed judicial branch of appointed judges of the constitutional court. to noteworthy most of them were appointed by by mubarak many here see them as a continuation of the so-called deep state here in egypt a group of generals and judges who are affiliated with the status quo. and more or less want to keep that status quo dividing the situation here is very vague.
8:03 pm
we were probably looking at a multiple crises one with the parliament and one with the constitution and one for for the year for the upcoming president. egyptian radical action is also being followed closely by its neighbor israel there are fears that the wavering strategic partnership between the two countries established under hosni mubarak could fall to pieces possibly or has a story. 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 won two 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 ever egypt is committed to international agreements that were signed including the treaty with israel or egypt and should have the right to amend all that is not in their interest to make sure the other party commits to what it is signed as if it's
8:04 pm
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 more presidential bid have 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 bites time. for this whole thing if you still house the israeli embassy in cairo but it's now closed up and became a sign is rabies fear of what's to come. for egyptians is really split and i mean number one the next president will be strong and change the status quo i do if used to continue the relationship mubarak had with israel if not continue to fight. he's a realist the first you know for us next president should cut all the relations
8:05 pm
between us it's a three eighty israelis can no longer ignore thing that. anybody should close. 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 islam has dominated parliament and gave morsi is contained. in the green light to stay in the race but it's done little to calm israeli fears of an islamist government on its border and so 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
8:06 pm
a concern the islamists at least in public and at least for now are trying to downplay i think it will do to make 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 punch bag and what israelis fear is that what see today is only a step away from being implemented tomorrow police here r.t. . the un observer mission in syria is suspending its activities because of escalating violence in the country this as the u.s. says it's tracking a russian military cargo ship making its way to syria with weapons and troops reportedly on board moscow has denied the claims but said several ships are ready if needed to protect its syrian base notion of reports from damascus. we are hearing from the chief supervision mission here in syria that the more interests have suspended all the activities in the country and the main reason for that is an
8:07 pm
increased violence we've been witnessed in in the last few days that posed a significant risk for around three hundred monitors here in the country and has actually been impeded in their ability to fulfill their amended here in syria indeed we've been seeing dramatic escalation the last few days with increased number of rebel attacks on syrian army checkpoints and at the same time we've been seeing that syrian government has given too much freedom to syrian army to deal with u.n. observer they were sent to syria in mid april to monitor of the implementation of coffee and six point peace plan here in syria the cordon to this plan ceasefire was supposed to take force on april the twelfth but instead we've been seeing and chris number of attacks from both sides international officials and u.n. officials confirming that cease fire hasn't been implemented and both sides have
8:08 pm
been equally responsible for that well what we are seeing now here in theory is kind of deadlock because as a u.n. mission general mood has trust there is no other plan on the table but these six point annan plan is not been implemented meanwhile we see that most. sees no to answer to that and is pushing both sides to try to to implement this plan and. mosco is resisting military intervention in syria while the calls for that getting louder and louder we are hearing reports from u.s. military officials that it has completed its own planning for how american troops would conduct operations against the syrian government just days after. the u.s. state department was to back away after hillary clinton's controversial remarks alleging that attack helicopters were on their way from russia to syria we're

8:12 pm
year ending about the end of the year in saying well just a couple of years on and those same people and now very realistically discussing the possibility of all the disintegration and the break up of the year the question that everyone's asking is what now happens all week lace to saying goodbye altogether to the year right how will that impact the country that. the. next one. on the right. another indebted nation greece is a gearing up to make one of the most crucial financial decisions in recent history its future in the euro support before sunday's election is that said to be divided almost equally between two parties left wing syriza strongly opposed to austerity and a conservative group new democracy which wants to honor bailout obligations artie's jacob grieve says in athens. this is really become
8:13 pm
a two horse race is about two differing schools of thought one of them is backing the waves of us there are two we've already seen which have been growing increasingly popular that 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 now that has proven increasingly unpopular but is still being defended by new democracy now on the other side the fence has to reason out 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 the 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 in many voters' eyes austerity simply isn't working to dealing with a mixed bag but one fact remains at present that people in greece are still
8:14 pm
suffering prosperity and a crippled economy. well the end of two euro zone membership won't mean an end to the problems for athens says financial journalist peter built. it's never happened like this before that a very very tightly knit union currency union which has never actually broken out of the real fear is that there could be immensely legal files going on for years and years and years between banks between the debtors and lenders. simply because nobody knows exactly in what currency the debts that have been run out would have to be repaid if any of those in greece perhaps would be repaid with a far devalued new drama but that of course could possibly put the banks or in germany in france in terrific trouble and so the real consequences are so enormous
8:15 pm
potentially enormous that nobody really wants to contemplate. now is take a brief look at what's in store for you today on our web site r t v dot com. the japanese government disregards safety concerns trying to win back the support of businesses in spite of objections from fukushima victims who fear it may lead to nuclear disaster. plus a for me twice a notorious financial fraudster has already grabbed millions of russians and with a ponzi scheme he says he'll do it again all the details are online at r.t. dot com. if he's.

with parliament and the supreme leader ali. and just doing your job could land you in trouble especially it seems if you're covering journalists covering protest rallies in the united states some reporters have accused the police of acting outside the law to suppress media freedom artie's on the stasi a truck and i reports. dramatic scenes unfolding in the us a must cover events for journalists that the idea i showed them. 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. went off on me. and i just. tried to tell him that i'm a journalist. people out my state department greet patients. whether i have your
8:21 pm
police or unfortunately that's one expired keil rights for daily russian newspaper and has worked in the us for the last three years i don't prove you have they don't really care that it's 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 what you need bring right away here is an official station give you brooms trash cans and child and you're basically walking around sweeping the streets picking up the debris paper cigarette butts whatever keil 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. drawing reporters in
8:22 pm
jail. which but this case is not unique rather it's part of a dangerous trend in the u.s. when you let 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 d.c.p. processes 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 are legitimate press and which are not requiring
8:23 pm
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 a story near impossibility in the past these worlds 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'll treats it with humor i got dori gold out of my experience so it's pretty good outcome for me freedom of the press in america a first hand account is that party new york. the guantanamo bay
8:24 pm
detention center and famous for its military trials and allegations of torture appears to be stuck in limbo president obama has so far failed to fulfill his promise to shut the facility down our own a resident to new york took the issue onto 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 from making it happen do you think it was a mistake for him to make such a promise no i don't i think. i think he's i think is 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
8:25 pm
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 though 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 it 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 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 you shouldn't. and that's i don't know going to know what you're going to turn away shouldn't exist i don't think the president of the united states really has the power to close guantanamo i
8:26 pm
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 that 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. well in a few minutes we'll be looking at the challenges of serbia's new president is facing in our special interview concept for an update our top stories. to. the.
