tim wilcox in athens. was it a coup or as egypt's righting of a fundamental wrong? the order to dissolve lower parliament. just as the presidential runoff which takes place this weekend. some opposition protesters think it was the part of the military. but the muslim brotherhood said he will accept the decision but added he was far from happy with it. our correspondent is in cairo with what the court found to be unconstitutional. >> simply they say what was wrong was the way the mix of proportion representation and the post the way the divide of the election was held and particularly the backing of political parties. they can't believe they were meant to be reserve for independents and not political parties. that's the simple bit. the difficult bit is the implication of that. the courts have said the head of the court has certainly said parliament should be dissolved. nobody has actually dissolved parliament yet and it's not sure anyone has the power to do that and for that matter it's not even clear the court has the power to do that. >> and meanwhile the president

a live look from athens just moments away. >>> another election we're following very closely today is underway right now in egypt. voters headed to the poll for a second day in a presidential runoff. turnout was lower than expected in some areas because of extreme heat. egyptians are choosing between an islamist candidate and the former right-hand man of ousted leader hosni mubarak but there are still questions about whether the military will actually relinquish power. >>> strong winds and high temperatures are expected to continue to fuel a wildfire in northern colorado. it's already destroyed almost 200 homes and scorched 55,000 acres. a u.s. agriculture secretary, tom vilsack, was in the area to talk about what is being done. >> over 140,000 man hours have already been dedicated to this fire. and so it will be some time before the fire is out, but our challenge now is to make sure that we do everything we can to contain its damage. >> the blaze has forced thousands of evacuations and left one person dead. >>> now back to the death of rodney king. he became a household name after he

crowned by the mighty parthenon temple, the acropolis rises above modern athens, a lasting testament to greece's glorious golden age in the 5th century b.c. grand processions followed the panathenaic way, which was a ceremonial path connecting the town below and the acropolis. they'd pass through this imposing entryway and up to the religious heart of the city in the parthenon. the parthenon was perhaps the finest temple in the ancient world. valiantly battling the acidic air of our modern world, it still stands, with the help of ongoing restoration work. it was constructed in the 5th century b.c. and dedicated to the virgin goddess athena. seeing it today is awe-inspiring, but imagine how striking it must have looked when it was completed, nearly 2,500 years ago, in all its carved and brilliantly painted splendor. the adjacent erechtheion is famous for its porch of the caryatids -- six beautiful maidens functioning as columns. dedicated to athena and poseidon, this was one of the most important religious buildings on the acropolis. this, rather than the parthenon, was the culminatio

jacob race reporting there a financial journalist peterbilt says athens is in for a massive economic turbulence regardless of the outcome. it's never happened like this before but a very very tightly knit union currency union which has never actually broken up the real fear is that they could be. going on for years and years and years between between. those. simply because nobody knows exactly what the currency. would have to be repaid you those in greece would be repaid with a devalued new drama but that of course could possibly put the banks in germany and from. trouble and so the real consequences are so enormous potentially enormous but nobody really wants to contemplate. what you are going to live from moscow and coming up in just a few minutes nuclear negotiations moscow prepares to host the talks between iran and the west over its atomic ambitions as to iran tries to shake off possible sanctions. my whole life for the price. lost my career it was because literally. i started to get to give streets anonymously. r.t. reports on a new bill in the u.k. that could silence was the l

the archbishop of athens personally troubled here.wo properties have now been sold, allegedly threw letterbox companies to avoid tax. the courts are investigating. >> if it belonged to the church, then these beaches should remain open to everyone and not be privatized. we hardly have any public beaches left as it is. >> i do not like churches to do usiness, earning money.es to do at his connected to my sort of church. >> and elegance and stone church has already been built to fit in with the planned luxury surroundings. a costly project, no doubt. the church was a business acumen does not surprise the leftwing parliamentarian who was among the first politicians to call for a strict separation of church and state and a stop to the church as many privileges. >> i will give you an example -- donations to the church are tax deductible. because of that, we have many arab nations, as they are called. i give the church 1000 euros, and the church issues a receipt for 20,000 euros. they save about 6000 euros in taxes, and there is no drawback

yet we saw in athens the doomsday can happen. why do you think that happened in athens. what are you going to do to stop it from happening in london when the whole world assumes you're going to win gold easily? >> you don't go with assumptions. you go with reality. we did lose in athens. we did lose in japan. we've lost. it's not like we haven't lost. and in the last olympics, we were only ahead by two points with eight minutes to go against spain. so you deal with reality. and you talk to our guys about reality. they know what it is to play against gasol and navarro from spain. they know what it is to play against tony parker. one of the best guards in the world. they understand on a one-game shot. if you're not on top of your gape, you can lose. and it's not a seven-game series. so we expect to win. we want to win. but we have to prepare like we expect to win. not assume like we expect to win. >> you've coached the american national team in 50 games. you've won 49. i would lay good money the game you think about most is how a team that you coached representing america

yes, i went to the to 599 athens and to russia. unfortunately, these buildings, we have got some paperwork, but we do not had a permit which says it has the assessors' card, as you heard, and we have got some addresses, but we just do not have a print that says it is two units. that 1952 permit, i think it was, could be the addition of a second unit. it just does not give a good description. it talks about adding a partition and a bathtub, and that is what i saw on the ground floor unit. there ceiling heights are appropriate. there ventilation seems to be ok. there has obviously been a kitchen in there at some point. the cabinets were gone today, but it was clearly a kitchen. i notice that it seemed to be all pretty old construction. it did not look like something that had been done in the last 40 years, 40 plus years maybe, so there has not been any recent work done on it to turn it into an illegal dwelling unit, which we sometimes do see, so it is a difficult one, and that is obviously why we are here, so i would be available for

that's all for me here in asia. >> so let's get over to athens. steve has been there, of course, since the weekend. steve, the job now goes of course to form a coalition government if we can. is that going to work? >> reporter: well, there are great hopes that this time around unlike on may 6th, the leader of the largest winning party in this election can form a government. now, i'm sure you're aware of article 37 of the greek constitution it means each of the top three parties will get a chance to form a government. first the biggest, then the second biggest and then the third biggest. and they can form a government even if it won't be this government of national salvation which includes all parties. of course they said they would not take part in the government. the greek left party and passive, between those two they get another 50 seats which would carry new democracy over the line to having a parliamentary majority giving them in total sum in the region of 179 seats. then the real hard work starts because new democracy and passive have found

is any government taking shape there in athens? >> there is certainly progress. latest word is that we should or could have a government by midday tomorrow. there are minor details that need to be hammered out. but so far, it seems that we will have three party, new democracy, pasok, and the democratic left. these are the parties that will form the government with mr. samaras. the stumbling block is the bailout plan, because all of these different parties have slightly different views on the bailout. as the pasok leader said, it is not about who is in the government but how they deal with the bailout and recession and unemployment. technically, we have an agreement by midday tomorrow, but there are still many things that will go on between now and then. >> assuming this three-party coalition comes together, what position might have on the you- let bailout? is there a common denominator? >> all these different parties have slightly different views or greatly different views on the bailout. the opinion of most of them is that the want to renegotiate terms. it will

for more on this, the bbc's tim willcox joins us from athens. tim, not too much of an exaggeration to say the greeks are on the verge of making history with these elections. >> absolutely right. two days ago before this vote, the second volt, six weeks after the first one, which could shape the whole future of the eurozone and the political parties have been holding their final rallies, the new democracy party will be holding its final rally this evening just below me here. last night was the turn of that series of parties, the left-wing party headed by the charismatic 37-year-old, alexis. his language is changing slightly. it was interesting to hear what he said last night and compare it to a few weeks ago. when he originally emerged in the first vote on may 6, he was talking about ripping up that bailout agreement with brussels. he wouldn't enter into a coalition with new democracy, and he said he wanted to completely change that. he says now he will renegotiate that deal with brussels. he also says he is prepared to share power and do deals w

clarissa ward is in athens. >> reporter: alexis sips are a, the 37-year-old leader of the leftist party has turned greek politics upside down. his slogan "no more staus tearty" has resonated with voters across this hard-hit country and rattled european leaders and financial markets. euclid tsakalotos is the man behind the economic manifesto. he thinks greece can rip up the bailout deal and still stay in the eurozone. to many people, that sounds like wishful thinking. >> well, we don't think it's wishful thinking and we have a terrible vicious circle where they promote policies of austerity, that leads to a greater recession than predicted then there are calls for more measures of austerity and we're saying that has to be broken. >> reporter: he said he can do that by raising taxes on the rich and pumping money into social programs. a lot of rich people here have said they will simply leave the country if that happens. >> yes, but you can actually capture quite a lot of wealth. and not everybody can leave. >> reporter: it's a promise that could turn tsripas until into the next prime mini
