is eighty out of moscow you're watching r t with me marina joshie welcome to the program at least fifty one people have been killed and hundreds injured in an age of twenty celebration of a national holiday turns to bloodshed opponents and supporters of deposed president mohamed morsi clashed in cairo and across the country egypt has been in turmoil since the army ousted the president in july and rounded up leading members of the muslim brotherhood are reports from toher your square. a few kilometers away from where i'm standing here in the giza district and in other locations across the capital there were very bloody scenes very fierce street battles erupted between security forces and supporters of the ousted muslim brotherhood leader mohamed morsi on the fortieth anniversary of the nine hundred seventy three arab israeli war this and we also have wyvil protests with supporters of the military gathering in tahrir square and some people even collecting signatures calling for army chief of their sisi to be president mohamed morsy supporters and the missing brotherhood

had attempted to march on this very square that they wanted to hold on to military protests they say they went against necessarily the institution of the army that they were against their generals who they want to see changed as they say they are really leaving the country to destruction and targeting them is motherhood and those calling for mohamed morsi to be reinstated at the scene it was very chaotic the battles are spilling over into the science streets of what is essentially a residential middle class neighborhoods and security forces were joined by civilians who were throwing tear gas and also firing these protesters with birdshot but it's and i've had reports of mine i mean it's not that i can't confirm that there are a number of people here as on to his square and those are the presidential palace who were celebrating what is considered to be one of the greatest military victories in egyptian history may told me today they were very angry with the mizzen brotherhood and their supporters for staging the protests however the brotherhood for their part say they are being treated in a very heavy handed manner and these clashes are no sign of abating we expect them

to go on possibly through the week as this egypt remains extremely divided. since the ousting in july and amber of those killed has exceeded a thousand people but award winning middle east journalist hugh miles says there is a way to break the cycle of violence. the government could reconcile with the muslim brotherhood. it is possible that egypt time around you know in a short space of time probably not this current government because this is really just the only running the country at the moment but in a few months when elections take place that will be a new government and one would expect that they will be much hated to reconcile i mean that there is you know beyond just a democratically elected i'll be on the national pressure local pressure inside egypt and also international pressure to reconcile with the brother to of course the brotherhood is a force to be reckoned with in egypt it's going to be very difficult for them to

run the country without without having the reconciliation with the brotherhood. while will be keeping up to date with events in egypt and you can also follow belcher on her twitter feed to get the latest updates from the divided country. the national torch relay for next year's winter olympics in sochi kicks off later in moscow on a fantastic journey across the world's largest country. the record breaking real a which will take the olympic flame to cities across russia will begin in earnest from the heart of the nation's capital they are on monday well let's take a look at what's in store for the economy symbol of the olympic games will be joining us later in the program and we bring us more until tell us about what's in

store in the russian capital that really are let's now take a look at the timeline of events. which is going to take you back a week because this flame started its life in olympia this time last week and the reason it's been increased for the last seven days is just to remind us about the history of these olympics the birthplace of the olympic games two and a half thousand years ago two and a half thousand years ago and in a limb there are still the remains of the great temples that were there then and you can also still see the original running track that the europeans used back in seven hundred b.c. so essentially what happened was they used the rays of the sun as they did back then to light the flame that flame is used to light the first torchbearer in olympia and then this top twenty around greece the flame was handed over to the russian olympic committee it's a beautiful stadium it's called the palace and i called stadium in athens and that's where the first modern olympics were held at the end of the nineteenth century and the public were allowed to go in and watch and they did in the hundreds

so it was well received there and then the question was what happens to the flame now how will we get it to russia well i found it so the question is how do you take the flame from sunny athens all the way to moscow well it's quite simple you put it in a small lantern and then you put it on a plate but that's not just any old thing that's to be i pay play and i've got a ticket. we are now cruising at thirty thousand feet and turns into you see twenty five billion pick flame you might notice it has been used to light a couple of other lanterns and that's because one of them might go out god forbid but got those extra ones just in case now they are in good company because on board among other people is the president of the sort she organized in committee dimitri tunisia and he sent just over here dimitri you spent the last eight years of your life trying to bring this flame to russia you must be pretty excited yes. very much

torchbearers so number have be selected through campaigns with the percentage partners but they have gone out in public campaigns and people can i applaud or be nominated based on their merits and their good job as well and to social communities they apply and also more nominated but there's there's more than a hundred thousand patients behind this really. deliberate george is on a big journey to structure. one hundred twenty three days. through to some nine hundred towns and cities of russia. really fourteen thousand people or sixty thousand coming. in a record setting trip by land air sea and others face. olympic torch relay. on r g r g r. but you got a lot from moscow to other stories now syria has begun the elimination of its

chemical weapons with the international inspectors now overseeing the process the destruction of the toxic arsenal comes in accordance with a binding un resolution now was spearheaded by a russian us agreement. now the russian foreign minister and he is american counterpart hailed the progress already made as a two man on the sidelines of the asia pacific economic cooperation summit in bali are just scott is there for us. summit an economic summit designed to push trade as an asian and asia pacific countries however it was international politics that dominated the agenda this morning now it had been hoped that president barack obama and russian president vladimir putin would have been able to have a one on one meeting on the fringes of the summit however because of the financial crisis back in the united states on the shutdown there president barack obama has been forced to counsel his trip so u.s. secretary of state john kerry took his place in this morning had a meeting with russian foreign minister lavrov and it was syria that dominated the

agenda now confirmation came that syria's chemical weapons stockpile the dismantling process has already begun on that and the u.s. secretary of state and also agreed on the fact that there was no military solution to the conflict in syria we agree again there is no military solution here we share an interest in not having radical extremists on either side of any. assuming a greater. status or position in syria and that is why we recommitted today with very specific efforts to move the geneva process as rapidly as possible while the un resolution on disarming syria's chemical weapons stockpile was only passed in the united nations in new york ten days ago when kerry confirmed that it's a record breaking process to get to this stage so i was only with the disarming process having already begun on russian foreign minister sergei lavrov says despite

the fact that he has phase that terrorist extremists in the opposition might undermine the entire process he says that damascus is complying with the international community. during all these weeks after syria joined the chemical weapons convention damascus has been working jointly with the international inspectors we hope this will continue on in the future. well it was undoubtedly a productive meeting between the two sides u.s. secretary of state john kerry describing it as the most productive between the two nations in recent times and attention now turns to the possibility of a geneva two peace conference with representatives from the syrian government on the syrian opposition sites around the same table now russian foreign minister sergei lavrov says he kind of gets a delegation from the syrian government around the table in geneva in the mid november that is the anticipated date for talks and u.s. secretary of state john kerry says that he's hopeful he can do likewise with the opposition. while there is of course an enormous amount of work still had with the

demolition of syria's chemical arsenal let's see what kind of scale we are looking at western intelligence estimates that chemicals are stored at about forty five sites across the war torn country damascus however declared that only nineteen sites contain toxic stockpiles well seven of them according to the syrian government are located in combat zones and could be difficult to access as for the production facilities there are believed to be four of them in the country while all of them are near cities were fears firing is often reported that's homes hama latakia and aleppo all chemical production side have to be demolished by the first of november and all in all seriousness to me to have about a thousand tons of chemical agents they include mustard gas sarin and they are of age and believed to have been deployed in the deadly assault near damascus in august as well as blistering agent and v.x. nerve agent well previously damascus also sat the opposition my be in possession of

some chemical weapons while the u.n. resolution requires both sides of the conflict to give up their talks occasions some experts believe the rebels will be reluctant to comply. the opposition is very disturbed because they were banking and this applies to all sections of the opposition even those sections like the more religious extremist groups who loathe the united states who are hoping for an invasion which which they could then use to take the concrete and then fight each other like it's happening in libya but that hasn't happened whether sections of the opposition are going to destruct the inspectors from taking off disarming doing whatever they're doing to the chemical weapons i don't know wouldn't totally surprise me of some section from within but tried to create a broken asian and then blame it on the government because they were very upset

when no war happened. this is our to you know still have presidential race of ghana stands first democratic transition of power or turf war. campaigning ahead of next year's vote is fired up as a list of candidates turns into a bland of warlords tribal leaders and former militants all hungry for power plus. skyrocketing unemployment leave spaniards out in the cold and looking for a place to live with no sign though the laws will be. right on the scene. first for you and i think you're.

chiefs well that concoction is marring optimism at the prospect of the first democratic transfer of power in afghanistan's history while incumbent president karzai out of the game due to term limits radical islamic movements such as the taliban are now seeking their way back into the government as nato forces are due to leave the region next year the campaign season is expected to war to be more violent afghanistan expert who was kidnapped by the taliban explains what's driving the islamists. they consider democracy a western religion for them islam of course which is submission to god which should be the rule of god which is what they want in democracy meaning the rule of man is anathema to them this is they are diametrically opposed to this so for them to see in their eyes a western religion come to power truly by having a democratically elected president step down

a new one come forward is not something they're going to want at all you have right now nato the united states depending upon the afghan national army and the police force which number three hundred fifty two thousand to take over you have the taliban who number approximately twenty to thirty thousand at the most and you have the taliban on the upswing you have a do you have a desertion rate of up to thirty percent of the afghan national army can they stand up to the taliban there are many people and i am one of them who question whether they can the united states and its allies may pull out in total about two thousand and fourteen but can they afford that because that will mean twelve years perhaps have gone to waste. now is take a look at some other stories from around the world in mexico the government's proposal vanity reforms have forced tens of thousands to the streets in the country's capital demonstrators called for a popular referendum on the plans of president pena nieto to private eyes the state
