a new political row the supreme court dissolved the islamist dominated parliament this week and the military is now assume total control pro-evolution activists are boycotting the poll and say neither candidate is worth voting for party's policy or reports from cairo. whoever wins will take office in a climate of chaos confusion and a great deal of political uncertainty there is no constitution there is no condiment and the ruling supreme council of armed forces holds the legislative and executive power now what makes this particularly alarming is that these elections were supposed to be the mixtape in egypt's transition to a real democracy it is still unclear what who is the new president will have and indeed what his mandate will be now the one off 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 which

a fake 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 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 the 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 gratitude 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 all t.

a solution between the obama administration and to her own so it's doing all it's behold it can and so i think because of this as i said we cannot expect much on obama. from now at least from what we've seen until now has given the reputation of giving in and not being very strong when it comes to confronting confronting these really pressures so now an election year and especially where obama is trying to get the. support of the conservative jewish votes when obama met with also author works jewish representatives in washington for example and said that washington has him has been more attentive to israelis than it has been to palestinians so if you take all of this into one package i don't expect anything significant will happen from now at least until the elections take place. the irish government are struggling to overcome recession but that's not the only problem dublin is currently facing as the country struggles to keep the economy afloat it's also
