a tough choice this sunday which could ultimately spell out their future in the euro zone a parties are running for seats in parliament but in reality people are left with a simple choice whether to stick with suffocating a stereo or ditch the euro zone's bailout deal and go it alone argues jacob graves has the latest from athens. we're talking about two potential leaders here all the rights we have that of new democracy these represent the status quo they have run and been in power before alongside the coalition with pasok party now they represent austerity their popularity is really waned recently there has been a public backlash because course is a stare she has gone hand in hand with the sheer rise in unemployment has also seen since two thousand and eight a stalling a retraction of the conwy by about twenty percent new democracy their main stay argument of the moment is that they need to stay within the euro zone that swallowing austerity is

a necessary poison that has been another option presented ever since but just before they really showed just how popular it was back in the may elections that is the result and they're offering the get out of jail free card for the greek voters they say not only will we cancel austerity but will guarantee you get stay within the euro zone how they say they'll do this is simply too costly for the euro zone to get rid of greece that's their trump card here people we've spoken to in series distress will be about three trillion euros that's their estimate to exit greece from the euro zone this election is also being characterized by other groups though no simply golden dawn a far right extremist group which has been courting a lot of controversy for some of their outlandish statements and actions in the media has come to represent a growth in a concert resentment from illegal immigrants in greece and particularly in athens that has coincided with the rise in the number of attacks on illegal immigrants

safest places in the middle east is now one of the most dangerous even for those away from politics for twenty years this elderly lady has been selling vine leaves while showing us how to cook here broke the syrian doll mark should be most of the syria she once loved we. feel that most syrians don't support anybody there in the middle but all suffer anyway when they learn how to be afraid how to be careful and how to be angry we were happy before i had met her she says is even harder now to get meat for your blog made a butcher from damascus says it could soon be even impossible allowed. or used to bring animals from all around the country but roads are now too dangerous to travel the result my business is declining prices are a lose lose situation. while the manager of keeps his boutique hotel in downtown damascus running even though he is seldom any guests to look after the conflict

torn country he is now a long way from people's idea of a top holiday destination is here with all my people are afraid even if they want to come they can't make a reservation the world sites like oking dot com or hotels dot com they block syria . so. prize only though we meet a guest here even more surprising he says his business is growing these days. is the chief executive of a media broadcasting company. big cheers big for themselves but each certainly wants pictures that speak for them and the more convincing the message the higher the chances of victory and they're ready to pay for it even though the prose for air time has almost doubled you see. the pictures rafaat transmits no matter from which side of the conflict they come send a clear message violent reality is all too familiar here in syria even to kids.

i know what's going on they kill and should people people die. who knows what kind of syria this six year old girl will face when she grows up in fifteen months of crisis syria has suffered deeply violence has raged sanctions have shaken economy and crime has flourished but has calls for military foreign intervention getting louder syrians say they still hold out hope for peace even if they're prepared for war sufferings before they get there. or if notion our team syria. and although the crisis has reached a new level political analyst amarna shah believes coffee and his plan still remains a serious only help. i think the situation has reached very dangerous proportions and there are civilians that are being killed and today we had some. there were some pictures of harder but massacre's children have been targeted and

innocent civilians and i think however it's not too late to i mean i am afraid that perhaps the statement given by the united nations may may be. desperate call yet yes but it's not the end of the road there is still a chance to actually have a cease fire to have the plan that has been laid out in the past by kofi annan and implemented to have a cease fire and go for the political dialogue there's no military solution they cannot be a military solution and in fact what the western powers are calling for. military interference is is in insane initiative it would not lead to any progress in this situation it would only make the situation worse now remember we cover news online as well as on t.v. so log onto r.t. dot com and he's on you like for more analysis and videos but here is what's there today china stands

armed forces holds legislative and executive power now what makes this particularly alarming is that these elections were supposed to be the next step in egypt's transition to a real democracy it is still unclear what the goal was the new president will have and indeed what his mandate will be now the one is between two candidates the man put forward by the muslim brotherhood as dr mohamed morsi and he has been campaigning as a voice of the revolution on the other hand there's enough mature feek who's been supported by the army he's campaigning for the one order and he was the last prime minister in the era of the for me gyptian president hosni mubarak at this late stage it is still unclear who will win both have support but at the same time there is a lot of anger and apathy on the streets of cairo some of this is in light of recent developments this week when the constitutional court ruled that it was dissolving the parliament and the announcement was also made that the military police would be able to waste and detain people this might have the effect of causing some

egyptians to come out and cast their ballot and if indeed they do they might be voting for most seats but again it is still too difficult to predict who will be the winner i've been speaking to people here at this polling station one woman told me that she was corrected that mubarak was not standing that she would vote for him another person telling me that they believe the muslim brotherhood is the only political party that can be trusted to move egypt forward policy altie cairo. cairo based here in rights activists nor nor believes to her your square will once again be filled with angry crowds chanting for change. there's a very very big chance that mass protests arise in the case that either pasha the order morsi win because sadly many people see that both of them do not represent the revolution obviously he is a worse candidate simply because your presents 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 we are in which is to choose between a member of the mubarak regime and a member of the muslim brotherhood. thousands of opposition supporters fly out of moscow's boulevards on tuesday in the first massive demonstration since president putin stick power last month the march of millions gather people on the streets of the russian capital to voice their disagreement with the current state of politics in russia putting recently signed into law new legislation increasing fines and slapping community service all participants of progress who violate public order that's after previous violent clashes between police and protesters the organizers say more than one hundred thousand people attended the tuesday protests although police puts the number at around twenty thousand. now take

people from exposing the truth. the wall on whistle blowing it's a war of attrition a good one to some who has nothing against people that have been a lot of wells and a lot of power behind them as a battle against corruption. secrets this video named collateral murder is just one of many wiki leaks revelations exposing the real crimes revolutionising whistle blowing and tearing down the divides between governments and ordinary people in the government who furious exposing wrongdoing can previously business as wendy addison found out back in two thousand whilst working as a treasurer of the south african company leisure net she discovered the c.e.o.'s with stealing money from shareholders and sending it to offshore accounts and she blew the whistle it was a decade point that my whole life fell apart. lost my career it was because

literally. i started getting death threats anonymously there were occasions where i was almost inclined to consider accepting society completely. and this is a very common thing for. talking about suicide despite risking everything when he was in poor as in a lengthy legal wrangling and it would be more than a decade the full days who committed the crime went to. modern whistleblowing techniques have been giving people more power to take on big corporations and even governments now the proposed changes to the law the tension is threatening the protections also at a time when the culture surrounding whistleblowing be making big leaps forward the law could be set to take a big step back the problems being caused by this the enterprise and regulatory reform bill which is currently making its way through parliament and one small to squeak line buried away in the text referring to

a public interest test we were really worried that putting in a public interest test into the legislation will have a chilling effect on the ability of workers to speak up a member of the international whistleblowing research network and an employment lawyer david lewis tells us the proposed test has dropped a bomb on whistleblowing provisions the great virtue of the existing provisions is there's no public interest it was a very simple test as long as you had enormous motu if you could be sure and it found that you would be protected now individuals will have those claiming to use the provisions will have to satisfy public interest to us and make it very difficult for people to advise them the government archy's that the changes are aimed at closing a loophole this meant that employees with personal grievances a for employment contract have been able to use the whistleblowing provisions but the son this will be seen as just the latest measure making it harder out the truth. of course is this trend. is one crackdown in whistle blowing blowing the

whistle have to differing degrees had their lives changed their reputations threatened or ruined their freedoms removed but in the process they reveal secrets that the rich and the powerful never wanted us to know that was being told i was doing the wrong thing. and yet it felt so right for me and i knew that i was doing the watching their. highlights the importance of protecting whistle blows and the public's right to know something they will say is well. so. also how for you this hour here in our politics leads to prejudice find out why a growing number of immigrants in the e.u. feel they have been discriminated against by government leaders. iran and six world powers are gearing up for a fresh round of talks in tehran's nuclear ambitions tomorrow in moscow they are

previous negotiations and may fail to bring any agreements the world nations want iran to stop enriching uranium to twenty percent and they say such production represents a major technological advance on the way of making weapons grade materials in return they are offering to supply fuel for medical research reactor in tehran and the easing of sanctions against the sale of commercial aircraft parts iran insists its nuclear program is only aimed at producing electricity and that's and. there's the research director at the national iranian american council believes diplomacy is the only way. more diplomacy is almost always a good thing and when the permanent members of the security council the united nations security council plus germany sit down at the negotiating table with iran if there's no prep work that's done in advance of those negotiations then it essentially becomes a process that's tantamount to having a kitchen full of cooks and nobody has a spoon so laying the groundwork and taking care of some of the technical political aspects in advance increases the likelihood for already difficult diplomatic

process to be more successful than it would be otherwise while the united states is spearheading a western effort to embargo if not outright reduce iranian oil exports and imports there are a host of other conflicts going on in the region there is economic instability in europe but there is also to ensure that countries like saudi arabia who have swing capacity. when it comes to producing energy increase their output and maximizing the output that's been increasing in libya places like iraq and things like that getting countries offer iranian oil oftentimes requires them to have a different refining process for different oil than iran's oil so it's a longer term process that they've been working on for a while now and we really are in uncharted waters so it certainly is the role of the dice that could come back to backfire particularly in an election year if the obama administration doesn't play its cards carefully. every pore by amnesty

international has concluded the e.u. cares more about enforcing its borders than people's lives and human rights group claims you are actively aims to prevent africans from reaching its shores endangering the lives of asylum seekers and there are now increasing calls from critics to hold government accountable for their treatment of immigrants as artist tests are soon reports those who do manage to reach europe still face discrimination. it may be called the european hue. but disprove this right to swing to the extreme is becoming a little more mainstream especially when it comes to discourse on immigration and in some cases leads to outright violence from norway. to greece. to hungary. in our story. was the most. recent elections in france and greece showed big gains for the far right and

immigrants say they've increasingly been on the receiving end of prejudice in many forms. in all of europe a woman with a veil can go into any shop and buy anything she wants but who build woman cannot work in this shop but what is in the report is the discrimination and the reason in the every day you live to people are facing because they don't report because they don't trust the police so every time you get into that on the street or issuing this term woman that you have to go off and stick and also if you have. a two thousand and ten report by the european network against racism and discrimination found that racially discriminatory practices are widespread institutional in nature and practiced at all levels of society across europe in two thousand and eight the european commission proposed a directive that would ban discrimination on the grounds of disability religion or belief and sexual orientation in all areas including social protection and advantages as well us access to goods and services the current law only applies to the workplace but it's been four years and the directive is stuck because some

member states are blocking it arguing that implementation would be too costly this activists say is one of the many failures of policy makers and wall immigrants are blamed by politicians on the right for failure to integrate others say it's the authorities which have not done enough. i never knew that if there is a policy it's not the follow through that's far as i know it's of those who make the policy over the europe's economic troubles which are preoccupying leaders show no sign of ending soon but the race and immigration issues they've left are solved could prove just as big a political time bomb tests are so your r.t. brussels. russians will fans are mourning was a national side knocked out of you were twenty twelve after going down to greece on saturday disappointing and to a campaign that began with
