late to i mean i am afraid that perhaps the statement given by the united nations may may be. desperate. 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 implemented to have a ceasefire and go for the political dialogue there is 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 on to r.t. dot com and it's on you like for more analysis and videos but here is what's there today china stands a woman in space for the first time accompanied by two male colleagues she said to

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 was the new president will have and indeed what his mandate will be no one else is between two candidates the man put forward by the muslim brotherhood is dr mohamed morsi and he has been campaigning as a voice of the revolution on the other hand there's a from a chafee who's been supported by the army he's campaigning for law and 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 said but at the same time there is a lot of anger and apathy on the streets of cairo some of those 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 arrest and detain people this might have the effect of

causing some egyptians to come out and cast that ballot and if indeed they do they might be voting for more scenes 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 or team cairo. cairo based human 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 caution the old 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 that 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 flooded moscow's boulevards on tuesday in the first massive demonstration since president putin stood power last month the march of millions gathered people on the streets of the russian capital to voice their disagreement with the current state of politics in russia putin recently signed into law new legislation greasing 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

a good one to some who has nothing against people that have been a lot of wells 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 crimes revolutionizing whistleblowing and tearing down the divides between governments and ordinary people and the government's view. 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 lot of the parts are lost my career it was because literally. i started getting death threats i'm honestly 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 old in a lengthy legal wrangling and it would be more than a decade before 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 with the proposed changes to the law potentially 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 motive if you could be sure and it found that you would be protected now individuals who have those claiming to use the provisions will have to satisfy public interest to us to 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 whistle blowing provisions but the sun this will be seen as just the latest measure making it harder out the truth. of course is this trend. is one crackdown it whistle blowing this is blowing the

whistle have to differing degrees have their lives changed their reputations threatened or ruined their freedoms removed but in the process they've revealed secrets that the rich and the powerful never wanted us to know i 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 right thing there. highlights the importance of protecting with. 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 their previous negotiations in 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 a 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 off aronian 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. i report by amnesty international has concluded the e.u. cares more about enforcing its borders than people's lives and human rights group

forms. of europe a woman with a veil can go into any shop and buy anything she wants but it cannot work in this shop but what is in the report is the discrimination and racism in the everyday life to people are facing because they don't report because they don't trust the police so every time you get on the street or issue on this term woman that you had . simply 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 age disability religion or belief and sexual orientation in all areas including social protection and advantages as well us access to goods and services not the current law only apply. to the workplace but it's been four years and the directive is stuck largely
