he wins the german general election just short of an absolute majority but the country's youngest euro skeptic party you pull some rain on the conservative right . showdown of the u.i. and the security council members clash over syria resolution with russia saying is being blackmailed by a big wad. of interruption cool decides to ban any activity by the middle brotherhood and confiscate all its assets but as strong as he is it could lead to retaliate and more violence by supporters of the islamist group.

this is r.t. coming to live from moscow hello and welcome to of program. angela merkel has won germany's told jump of the third time in a row but the seeming triumph of the chancellor's political cause has come at a price because serbs have blocked the christian democrats took forty one point five percent of the vote and that's not enough for merkel's party to rule on their own as their main wiles' the social democrats led by here scheinberg came in with twenty five point seven percent speech on our brings down the ballot. well it was a resoundingly result for anglo merkel however now the big question is just what kind of government will she preside over she's going to have to enter into a coalition won't be the coalition she particularly wanted she would have wanted to deal with the free democrats who were partners going into this election but the free democrats didn't even get enough votes to get them one seat in the parliament

so she's going to have some tough coalition negotiations on her hands moving away from angola merkel and looking at the election as a whole what we have seen here in germany as a shift in voter opinion away from liberal politics towards euro skeptic politics the alternative for germany party b. a f t were only founded seven months ago the euro skeptics didn't get past the five percent mark to get them into the stagg but they have certainly announce their arrival on the german political stage now as i said the euro skeptic their anti euro they believe that the u.s. being kept alive artificially and they want to see failing countries like greece not be allowed to be part of the monetary union. now they took votes from just about everybody as well as protest votes people are unhappy with the current status quo in germany their leader saying that although they didn't get into the

parliament they put fear into the hearts of the other parties and that they made democracy in germany all the richer what we achieved in this election for a new party a party which built up everything from scratch just a couple of months ago is a very strong result so we will just continue what we have started so it's angela merkel who's going to be german chancellor for a third term that will make her the longest serving female political leader in europe but some of those europeans are wondering what exactly she'll have in store for them. yes i believe merkel's election when i see comparisons with another three female leaders on marcus or do not forget merkel is a follower of margaret thatcher this is that euro zone two point zero. and one similarity policies between the two is they both try is

a should do mrs merkel case that small finnish home for the cash strapped state. we have this obvious privatization agenda that is an essential feature of european politics it's not people and social needs that get addressed by business angela merkel supported the decision by portugal to sell off some of its publicly owned companies it's not clear sometimes whether what he's proposing for other countries she will do it itself in germany it's natural that some countries would question whether the call for privatization of countries is a way to open a. room for german companies around the company but by most countries angle a merkel has convinced the german people that she's the right person for the job but across europe people are wondering what four more years of her leadership will mean for them. that if it's going to be negative that's logical she's the symbol of the recession in europe. they see was. actually nothing will change where i was

when we get more jobs and people have work then we can have growth i don't expect anything from the germans. critics accuse the she moore of the wrong direction merkel must stop markel must be stopped as well as those called we represent the interests of international finance markets just like under satcher parts of northern england were devastated we see the same in greece today it leads to years of an employment and poor living conditions. whether she's the new lady not with sixty four more years of the merkel. as the world's most powerful women these are all over. meanwhile this general election is already been dubbed a public acknowledgement of marco's many accomplishments she has managed to steer

germany it through the economic crisis while many european leaders have failed at the same time she became a figure of hate and debt ridden e.u. countries pressing them to pay a tough price for a bailout in terms of global politics angle or merkel has been playing it low key saying staying away from military operations part of the intervention lever back in twenty eleven has ruled out a strike on syria professor of political science at the free university of berlin hans dieter kerry a man feels the support the euro skeptics gained in this election doesn't overshadow angle of markel success there will always be dissatisfaction on the fringes there are winners and losers but if you look at the size of the groups the winners of america's economic policies number the loses by a highly high proportion and if that economic development

continues that has pulled us out of the crisis after two thousand and eight after the lehman brothers bank broke down if that continues then her support will become even bigger and the euro skeptics i think have no chance in this scenario. and while anglo american is celebrating her part is when the german poll results have caused quite in athens where the chancellor is victory seen as a signal for more painful austerity and got analysis on greece's economic future coming out. series actually corporation with the world's chemical weapons watchdog in accordance with international deal to relinquish its toxic stockpiles but the members of the u.n. security council are having trouble agreeing on a resolution to support the design the process russia says it's being blackmailed by the u.s. and its allies to chicken explain the u.s.

says they will stop the work toward securing syria's chemical weapons if russia does not sign off on a u.n. security council resolution based on chapter seven that would allow the use of force so you are upset this is. secretary of state john kerry agreed on in geneva the russian foreign minister said instead of using this agreement brokered by russia to get rid of syria's chemical weapons the u.s. is now trying to achieve other goals take a listen. in the remark and partners are starting to blackmail us to have so they say it's russia does not agree to egypt to seven the solution in the un to see the musudan to stop working with the chemical watchdog in the hague this completely counters what we agreed on was john kerry namely the chemical which does decision and then a supporting a solution from the un a c. but without chapter seven. so you lover of also talked about the conflicting interpretations of the un investigators were poor at the report gave

a description of substances and shells that the u.n. experts saw on the ground in syria but no indication of who used the chemicals in august twenty first attack near damascus russia says it's looking at the evidence that rebels have used sarin gas there is a report by israeli experts saying the rebels took control over the areas with chemical weapons facilities at least twice and they may have gotten hold of it it is also known that members of jabot almost for attempted to smuggle containers with sarin gas via turkey so russia is not at all convinced that the assad government can use the weapons but whatever classified evidence the u.s. says it has it has not presented it to the u.n. security council expecting international community to take washington's word for it the russian foreign minister said the u.s. has a hard time coming to terms with the fact that decisions on global security have to be taken together take a listen. to our partners a blinded by an ideological goals to remove the assad regime we want to show the

big can call the shots in the middle east you're there mostly concerned with proving their own supremacy because it's not the task that we're driven by which is to solve the syrian chemical weapons problem globalism. so you lover offset only extremists will benefit. from such a blind approach as he called it he talked about the chaos and if you walk referring primarily to the words he said they simply choose not to talk about how which chain of their actions led to a catastrophe in the region. the violent hostage crisis the scale westgate mall in nairobi is in its third day kenya's interior minister says security forces were now in control of all floors of the shopping center however there is still a heavy police presence of the scene and you're watching live pictures from nairobi right now a series of explosions and sustained gunfire have been heard in the area with heavy

plumes of smoke rising from the shopping center at least two terrorists are confirmed dead and others are said to be injured assault was launched at midday on saturday by a group of somali al shabaab militants with strong al qaeda connections multiple media reports stays that british and dutch and american citizens may be among the fighters and investigation has been launched into their allegations the country's interior minister says the brutal untimed has claimed the lives of sixty two people many of them foreigners and left at least one hundred seventy people injured and of course we'll be keeping you updated on this developing story. listen to groups fighting in afghanistan and syria could eventually spill over into the to territories of russia and neighboring countries this stark warning from president putin speaking at this year's summit of the six and nation collective security treaty organization and our correspondent aleksey get a show of skis here in the studio with the details hi there let's say so tell us

what president putin had to say on this well basically what the russian president did this time was to read to read the longstanding concern over spillover of the syrian conflict on the territories of the other countries of the world this time he was more concrete bill he was that the some of the militants fighting on the side. of the syrian rebels may eventually find themselves in the post soviet states like the g.q. star like kazakhstan and even russia because there are parts of the population in russia and in those countries of the post soviet space who have a predominant muslim population so he did not rule out the possibility that this conflict in syria may in fact pose a great danger to other countries in the world and in the both soviet space and he said that the key near the gagne and events happening at the moment is a perfect example of how the spillover may happen let's listen to what the president had to say. the militant groups in syria do not appear from thin air nor will they vanish into. the problem

of terrorists spilling across borders is very real could affect any of the countries who are currently witnessing a terrible tragedy in kenya militants apparently came in from another country and committing a gruesome crimes there on behalf of all of us i would like to express solidarity with kenya and its people and send our condolences to the victims of this bloodbath let's hope the perpetrators will be punished. well just last week i spoke to the former defense minister of russia mr given off in sweden he also expressed the same concern that there's a huge number of mercenaries even russian born mercenaries fighting in syria along with the syrian opposition along with the rebels and he also concerned that this may spill over into the russian territory imagine a mob like this with radical islamists moving to other countries and causing havoc there moreover recent research by a british defense firm called i just jane's stated that at least ten thousand

of one hundred thousand militants fighting on the side of the syrian rebels are hardline islamist so definitely all this create creates huge huge concerns for for the russian leadership. with the details i say thank you very much indeed where pre-shared at and coming out working towards a new play with the world after a very short break we'll look at how much damage the u.s. sanctions really brought to iran as the countries needed a palace to give his peacemaking speech at the u.n. general assembly this tuesday stay with. the island is so small the termes it's the center of the center of the universe. on a tiny island the size of a football field in the middle of a lake stands a ruined monastery forty years ago two lovers decided to spend their honeymoon here

you're watching us here live from moscow welcome back and egypt there's been a dramatic turn in the quam down on islamist supporters of the ousted president mohamed morsy a court has ruled that all activities activities of the muslim brotherhood are now bond and ordered confiscation of its assets our correspondent true reports now from cairo. this is very significant particularly when you take it in the context of this huge escalating crackdown on the islamist group its members and its supporters now this case it was filed by a leftist party earlier this year who basically said it was functioning illegally in its capacity as an ngo reports of their weapons inside its headquarters in the capital so what the court now has ruled is that by ngo is now banned and of course its finances will be seized and of what we're expecting now is for the security the security forces to use this is

a kind of carte blanche to go off to all the other myths of brotherhood and figures who are already in jail the has already been a modest round up all of the leading members of the most rubber hits including its ideological leader who is already in prison that strong. and even now rank and file picked up in various different protests the mr brotherhood is technically already a bound organization it was bound back to the one nine hundred fifty s. they filed they basically registered as an ngo in march of this year to give them a kind of legal fronts now but it's gone this could basically mean that the government can do what they want with the organization who are waiting for the moment is to see how this affects their political way in the freedom and justice party which is registered under separate legislation as a political party but what this really really does is allow the government and security forces to take it one step further and possibly political party and its members which would really contradict their rhetoric which is one of them can include a conclusion they want to include the muslim brotherhood in the political part of

the future of egypt if they do by the political parties and the ngo then this is going to seriously contradict us so we expect to see further protests on the horizon and possibly an escalating isolation of this already very heavy crackdown and more news and updates have straight to our website and here's a quick look at what we've got for you there right now a jailed milby notorious punk by. and pursue riot has gone on hunger strike against talk shows calling the slave labor penal colony so get to the bottom of those accusations. and discussion how scientists could be one step away from reaching one kind of flu once and for all while the other breakthrough vaccine accepted our. right to see. her story. and i think the truth.

on our reporters would. be in the. iran has been rationing out to wild powers to settle the impasse over its nuclear program ahead of the nation's upcoming address to the u.n. train or some day the standoff has dragged on for years and now the country's new leader hassan rouhani pledged to restart peace talks and their turn for an easing of painful sanctions and as as his policy reports now the restrictions are hurting the most vulnerable that. the aim of sanctions is to harm the state but the real victims are ordinary regular people what small experiences shown that there's a huge wage between what ordinary people experience under sanctions and what the elite to mohamed we heidi is one such case study he's

a cancer victim in iran. it is my second chemistry p. program previously each session cost approximately three hundred dollars these days it costs about seven hundred dollars it is also a challenge to get the medication because you have to go to almost every drugstore asking for them and also because the prices are way too high i get a camel session once every two weeks and i am a pensioner. doctors are also frustrated not only is the problem the cost of medication and getting that medication but also getting medical supplies its upkeep can also be a nightmare. if we have a problem getting high tech modern equipment to treat our cancer patients there are numerous obstacles for importing the equipment due to the sanctions in place against iran we have some equipment but it requires spare parts that we can't get anywhere a failure of any single piece or part of this equipment causes us to stop operating

the entire machine history has shown that sanctions are a failure but in those few very instances where they do bring about some kind of diplomatic agreement that takes a long time merely prolonging the suffering of ordinary citizens and iran has freed a.t.l. positions supporters and other prisoners hoping to ensure some rollback on sanctions from washington ahead of the me saying new york however financial expert patrick young believes the u.s. measures against iran are doomed to fail anyway. ultimately in an interconnected world where we have so much globalization it's almost impossible for any country even the hyper power of the united states of america to be able to successfully stop trade and transactions happening with different countries therefore the end result ultimately has only been to impoverish ordinary citizens rather than really hitting the elite the world is not a simplistic place there is not a huge craving for democracy in the middle east and that's fundamentally

a problem of the sanctions regime of america what there has been what has been demonstrated by the arab spring is actually people wanting commerce to improve their lifestyles in that sense people want to replicate the trade success of the united states of america and they feel very very upset when sanctions basically come in and hurt their lifestyles intervening supranational a is rather difficult to justify in any possible circumstance and certainly without the power of the u.n. security council. critics say the sanctions on iran have not been effective in achieving any political aims no matter the scope all duration restrictions are often justified as being a better option than war but they are accused of only making things worse for every people in the countries affected north korea's been hit by a range of economic and military restrictions by the international community over its nuclear ambitions the main affection is that the shortage of food and medical

supplies has led to severe malnutrition and this while pyongyang shows no sign of curbing its atomic program syria has also been slapped with sanctions which have only aggravated the situation there the economy has been plagued by over two years of civil war with the you are saying about a fifth of the country's population is unable to produce or buy enough food and as the conflict goes on the situation is expected to get much worse cuba is no stranger to us to us in barker's as well with the elderly and demand there appearing to be the worst affected and the last to its economy is estimated to be almost six hundred nineteen million dollars annually so in all those cases it looks as though sanctions are simply hating ordinary people with little effect on the sanctions themselves. policeman and a migration officer have been killed in a terrorist attack in the russian republic of dagestan so side bomber detonated his explosives after he drove up to

be needed to keep it afloat now each loan has come at a high price for ordinary people painful austerity measures have brought cuts to jobs salaries and public services and some greeks are asking what they're sticking with the euro is worth the cost instead of waiting for another bailout from europe some suggested leaving the currency union altogether one such boys as theodore costa neighbors he's an economist and former member of parliament now i had a chance to sit down with him earlier take a look do you believe that the cycle of bailouts for greece is sustainable policy for this country. because we really. do give us money look to. the big book. launch of the book. and these. bailout to this whole thing raises very is the. guy who is why did you go into it with

evident we will never regain our strength our economic strength to be an economic development to fight unemployment in the list because of your view. is is made. of basically fuel for strong countries it's a strong currency it doesn't feed the not too far in calling to me now polls do show that a large majority of greeks do not want to quit the euro just yet however more people also seem to believe that the country's economy will never recover if it sticks to e.u. mandates to cut government spending enough to repay its debts reporting from athens loose accounting of r.t. . he travels to an island this size of a football field which has become a place of pilgrimage for many russian.

they say the church was built here in the twelfth century it was destroyed in the 1930's. people constantly chose this place to pray and by doing so they created an atmosphere of holiness you can't commit a sin here even if you want to. and that's why i didn't want to come here one tyrant what would i do there but they came and stayed. with them until it changes every one little my little bit in the lake and in the sea of life. most of the the island is so small but for me it's the center. the center of the another man.
