faired russia two legend two thousand eleven on forty. authorities say that egypt's first round of elections seen at the highest turnout ever but the results are delayed with forecasts suggesting the islamists so winning . the u.n. condemned as human rights violations in syria or the rush of votes against the resolution saying the motion is one sided and will only aggravate the conflict. and a legal loophole in the u.k. is being used as a shield for convicted immigrant criminals saving them from deportation and turning britain into a safe haven for serious offenders from abroad. a

very warm welcome to you this is a live from moscow with me. officials say turnout for the opening round of parliamentary elections has been the highest in the country since the time of the favors the official results are still being delayed but predictions give the lead to the islamist muslim brotherhood party or two more election stages are to be held in january as. reports. well we're hearing from the military council record results will be announced today saturday but this is the third time that such an announcement has been made those events in the south with the supposed to be given on the wednesday we also know hearing from the election commission that the voter turnout they gave that stood at sixty two percent which suggested that more than eight million people turned out that that figure is under their view off to some questions were raised about irregularities and the way that the percentage of sixty

two was actually reached so we might actually hear later today. that the voter turnout is significant. we haven't yet heard the results of the political parties who stood in these elections but there has been a lot of talk a lot of initial exit polls and a lot of that has been badly developed it does seem as if the muslim brotherhood's political party the freedom and justice party will come first with a standing of between forty to fifty five percent and in second position is likely to be ultra conservative enough this hour and the latest figures need to have put that at some thirty to thirty five percent and this is a group that has said that it will push for stricter controls in the parliament there and of course how much power the parliament at the end of the day is given this is in line with the trend we've been witnessing across hoof africa that in recent years has seen as long as parties coming to the fore now what is significant about these results particular is that the voting at this stage was done mostly in

urban areas particularly these men in cairo and the night xandra so when islamist parties have such a strong showing in urban cities it does set the stage that in the next two phases of these voting the islamists will merely continue to do as well because their hold and their popularity in those kind of areas is much higher it also sets the stage for a coalition to be formed with a significant majority in parliament who come for me isn't on this policies not next week we'll see the second phase of voting this is for the house of parliament the third phase will be in january and then there will be voting hold for the upper house of parliament also be there is a significant number of egypt since who are against these elections most of them have been taking to the streets of the past two weeks and months earlier this year they say that these votes all illegal they say that they did not change any real reality on the ground and the writing court in the square does remain the same and that is for the military to step down immediately the concern amongst these egypt

is that it doesn't really matter where the. hold elections or whether you change the face of the government it is still the military who are pulling the strings behind the scene now today saturday we do expect the announcement of the new cabinet that is being formed by the new prime minister come out all guns he has already named some of the cabinet at least a dozen ministers one of whom are actually ministers from the previous regime in the same portfolio is this includes the same foreign minister includes the same information minister and while they will be new names who will be forming part of this government the fact that such a significant majority remain part of the previous government is just merely more ammunition for protesters to talk this way to say that nothing is changing. paul or is monitoring the situation there in cairo you can follow updates from her on twitter feed in her latest tweet here that she reports hundreds continue to sit on her wrist square claiming the vote is illegitimate and the turnout is significantly

lower than what the government boasts do follow us underscore calm get the latest right from the streets of cairo. the un human rights council has passed a resolution condemning violations committed by the syrian authorities and the document appoints a special look into the government's abuses during a month. and calls for the main u.n. bodies to take action russia and china voted against the resolution saying it might lead to a foreign intervention under the pretext of human rights both moscow and beijing believe the motion ignores crimes committed by the rebels and will only aggravate the crisis. we think that it is that all of the international community to help resolve internal crisis through promoting dialogue what don't understand is why if that can be done in yemen that cannot be applied to see it in syria as

a mile from the outset the message which has been set forth from some quarters capitals is there is no way dialogue can help those who go into dialogue we should stop it immediately the there is no future in the arab league initiative we believe that this is something very counterproductive and this is something which has exacerbated the situation in syria the international community is not there to to smell blood and to found confrontation but the international community is there to prevent further bloodshed and to encourage it encourage what this is what the united nations is about this is what the security council is about. syria's main opposition group has vowed to cut ties with iran hezbollah and hamas if the current government goes professor you have the director of the transcend peace university told us here at r.t. that the agenda goes very well with the regional interests of some other countries

the western intend this of course to split of syria completely from any reigning in connection as they see it. the west is with the leadership and against the opposition and in syria their video position and against the leadership cutting it much too sharp so it's a question of where to be voice out a big voice which group and the big boys siding with the big west advice so to precondition of the there is libya being played again we have heard two and divide that would probably cost much more many more civilians than the lives that will protect and it will set the tone for a war that will go on for a long time. you're watching r t live from moscow still to come for you this hour here but unemployment falls in the u.s. a sign of recovery or a sign of the figures. these are real jobs this is a plantation economy we look at where the recent drop in joblessness reflects the real state of things in the american economy. plus we investigate how the russian

speaking community in the former soviet republic of a stoner is falling victim to what they call a language inquisition after losing jobs for speaking their native tongue. so it's been a spark of the hour here in britain an article of the human rights act ensures the right to a family life for those who live there but what sounds fair on paper is actually being used in reality by criminals because they can overturn a decision as to deport them for their offenses by using the legal loophole that allows them to stay artie's laura smith explains the rights to a family life is not an absolute right and it must not be used to drive a coach and horses through our immigration system. article eight an innocuous sounding element in the human rights act but which means having children can stop illegal immigrants being kicked out of britain no matter what they've done

pull houston knows what it's like to have your family destroyed his twelve year old daughter amy was killed in a hit and run by an iraqi who was banned from driving as she was crossing the road . the driver of the car the runner or. encourage on the corridor in the bomber the car and. she became trapped under the wheels of the car and. he basically for the guy trapped under the wheels in the water car amy's killer asso mohammed abraham already had a string of minor convictions even before he moved her down and fled but because he subsequently fathered two children by a british woman he still lives in the u.k. it's article eight that keeps him here oddly enough it was one of these that catapulted the issue into the headlines the home secretary seizing on claims that an illegal bolivian was allowed to stay in this country because of the emotional

trauma of separating him from his pet not quite true but it got people talking and noticing much more serious cases including a rapist who successfully argued asylum his social life and a killer who lived with his parents in may this year it was revealed that nearly four thousand foreign criminals were set free from detention centers because it was decided they couldn't be deported within a reasonable time among them dozens of rapists murderers and paedophiles separately last year nearly six hundred people used the human rights act to avoid deportation the vast majority citing the right to a private and family life in the case of amy's killer a series of bungles and delays by the authorities meant that by the time either him came up for deportation he appeared to have created a family despite the limbs the evidence about his parenting intentions he was

allowed to stay yet she would rights campaigners argue britain's status as a haven for the persecuted is sacred these are very hard back hundreds of years they're embedded in international law you know the real torch is in the aftermath of the second world war so make sure that we always. going to go into society on those principles that we hope to hear through a grieving father. like a poll that's missing the point what we have a special we articulate human rights facts we have criminals terrorists murderers paris drug dealers oh using the human rights act as a shield to hide behind and so on to stonewall contre. i haven't got a problem with any genuine asylum seekers or think anybody house but what we don't want to see is we don't see people abusing or not what's wrong and i think not what

needs to be addressed amy was pulls only child he now lives alone spending his time campaigning against article eight and wondering why the rights of his daughter's immigrant killer outweigh his own laura smith forty. he's coming to you live from moscow i do remember you can always find our stories and so much more on our website that's dot com let's see what's lined up for you there right now hacking in but helping out find out how two groups of crack computer whiz kids known as anonymous team poison joining forces to steal from the banks and give to the poor. plus the head of russia's parliamentary elections you can begin your battle for power in an online debating game the way to wield influence at r.t. dot com. closes. the people prepare to speak. in duma elections the eleven. in-depth

coverage of has won the hearts and minds of the russian people or it's. just turning thirteen minutes past the hour here in moscow european leaders are planning what's being described as a budgetary intervention in the running of e.u. member states german chancellor angela merkel is pushing for the creation of a fish school union of eurozone countries it would mean that the financial policies of e.u. nations would have to be approved by brussels with penalties for countries which break the rules the move would require changes to the e.u. treaty. the director of the bridge group warns that creating a fiscal union would put an end to democracy within the e.u. . if there is a fiscal union which will take years to build in the u. that will mean the the end of democracy within europe it will mean that countries will be effectively governed by the european central bank and germany cannot make thinking and the interests of the very few. based in brussels

it's really dangerous i think to centralize power the euro has created a great deal of economic problems and then they're going to have you know cap more problems on to that by creating a fiscal union which will mean that government's tax and spend policy will in a sense would be wrong form blossoms and frank first that is a deeply undemocratic move further trouble in the future with the problems are with the euro and they really do need to recognise that the euro should be broken up into more manageable parts and countries have control of their own economic policies again and that way they can get growth back into europe at the moment the european economy is just stagnating because they're stuck in the straight jacket of the european single currency and the global economic crisis rages on artie's financial pundits kaiser continues his mission to expose the shadowy figures behind it his revelations and are coming up next hour but for now

a preview. german finance minister says big bazooka not ready would not stem crisis even if it was this suggests to me that in fact what's going shell bull is meeting in private with goldman sachs bankers and telling them to short the heck out of europe right now because the plan is to pull the rug out from under them what we saw that in the greece an area remember john paulson the hedge fund manager was in greece in athens shortly before the crisis to call there and was meeting with the government and instructing them on how he was going to rip that country down using massive short sales so this financial terrorism using weapons of mass financial destruction to destroy economies and the. poe's austerity measures is that now taken to a much wider level they want to take down the entire euro zone.

now a quarter past the hour here in the russian capital unemployment in the united states has dropped to its lowest level in two and a half years the support into the latest official figures i want to could bring cheer to barack obama in the run up to the elections republicans are unimpressed saying the jobless rate is still higher than when he took office trends of full cost gerald celente things the democrats are simply spinning the numbers to their own advantage when you look at the real number isn't who got the jobs it's food stamp employees oh there were jobs created in retail you know those wonderful jobs we take people's money and you say have a nice day and there were jobs in hospitality that's another word for cleaning up somebody who's room oh when there were jobs in health care you know working in nursing homes making sixty to fifty a week by that slime after taxes you know so these are real jobs this is

a plantation economy and the big law i that no one's talking about as they pump up this week number you need one hundred twenty five thousand jobs a month oh month just to account for the new people moving in to the economy and population growth so that leaves all the people that have lost all these jobs since the great recession hit still out of work. well as many americans are struggling to find work others are busy planning their christmas shopping but is there a place for keeping up to date with world events on their lists. has been looking for the answers on the streets of new york. are people aware of what's going on in the world this holiday season are they only interested in shopping this week let's talk about that what do you make of the

first egyptian election since the revolution so annoyed about it so well what do you think is the importance of it. what's on your mind that shopping do you agree with britain's choice to pull out of its embassy in tehran. we don't follow the news these days so i'm not so informed about what do you follow these days. ali draper on this need to how do you think the european union should handle the greek situation but hear me out so that they really don't follow that closely now what are you guys been plowing the news. knowledge of. he watches the news i watch the good. but is that h.d.t.v. and the cooking channel did you think nato had a right to pakistan this is getting very political i'm on a five day holiday i'm not going to get into a political discussion i don't mean to sit down now worldly but i'm being more

attention that was have been over it was happening in another country that is somewhat not affecting us do you think that's what most people feel probably what about you probably whether or not you've crossed everything off your list this holiday the bottom line is you might want to consider taking a break from shopping to find out what's going on in the rest of the world. if you live from moscow to some other headlines now from around the world for you this hour by iranian diplomats have returned home to a hero's welcome after being expelled from the u.k. they were told to leave the country after protesters stormed the british diplomatic compounds and tehran western officials play. iran's leadership for allegedly endorsing the attacks crowds of students gathered at tehran's airport to show their support for the diplomats and chant anti english slogans. clashes

between rioters and police in southern peru have seen one person killed at least twenty others wounded furious demonstrators blocked the pan-american highway protesting against the expansion of a local prison a skirmish flared up when police arrived at the scene to disperse the crowd and clear the way for vehicles is the country's second violent protest this week twenty were injured in peru's north in a demonstration against a mining project that was on tuesday. police are prepared for riots in south africa as thousands of protesters began gathering in durban to raise awareness about climate change billed as a global day of action the demonstrators come as a summit on the topic reaches its halfway mark in the city the negotiations are focused on how the next period of agreements will be shaped who will participate and under what rules a top u.n. official says she's confident industrial countries will renew goals to cut greenhouse gases after their current commitments expire next year. but it's part of

a soldier's life that can never be forgotten or undone when they pull the trigger with another man in the side a close look at the american troops who struggle with the morality of killing in combat is coming your way here and you can watch our special report a little bit later today. i had to go through a ten year old boy. we train them how to. develop the orders for them. we never explained to them why it's ok. most people at the point of looking down in time to pull the trigger became conscientious objectors. i don't remember squeezing the trigger i don't remember seeing him go down when i remember is that we shot him.

on the other side are soldiers too and soldiers to assault and they're trying to kill us we're trying to kill them and that's just the ugly face of war. nothing honorable and. i went to the war zone and i started seeing how i need to change. in the only way to do their bit of a rival and kill another person that's why i'm applying for. that special documentary coming your way a little bit later today here on r t two decades since the collapse of the soviet union the russian language is coming under pressure in estonia and used to be an

official language there but has since faced a clampdown by the authorities and the fast russian community is now worried that they will be forced to favor estonian over their native tongue as i got to ask reports. a russian speaking fisherman catches a magic fish it promises to fulfill all his wishes in this tony and but he does not understand the language and he dumps it this social ad urges the russian minority in the stone to learn estonia in a rather amusing fashion the reality is no joke at all. old state officials are obliged to know the estonian language in the course of their work this is written in our language it also applies to people working in the majority of public services. just like other post soviet baltic states estonia has its own language inspection the body which oversees how the language law is being observed at times laying it down quite harshly the language inspection has the legal right

to conduct spontaneous checks on anyone working in any sphere and should a person fail the language exam the body may then initiate the sacking of this employee human right activists say this has turned the language inspection into a punitive body. it is not that they have nothing to say it's just that they believe their voices are being silenced estonia's three hundred thousand strong russian minority has been protesting at what they describe as the language inquisition some of these people either lost their jobs or are on their threat of doing so because they are forbidden from speaking their native language soonish us through it so often curse soviet power never applied they were strictures on languages distorting it were free to educate in their language during our days the authorities have almost banned the russian language from school besides some russian communities don't have qualified teachers who can teach physics or chemistry in a stony and that is the latest twist five workers at an orphanage were fired for

not being able to speak a story into the children that's in a town where ninety six percent of the population are ethnic russians. and i don't want to. hundred but as long as we have in this country we have to leave by the end i fired those people because they had been warned but did not. win rights activists acknowledge the rule of the law but stress that in the language case it is not applied properly because of the law doesn't put any difference between our of us and we're almost everyone sees russian as their native language and other parts where most of the people speak is stony and not them and with such disproportion we can talk of direct language discrimination and indirect ethnic discrimination which they describe as activists in another baltic state law to be have been gathering signatures and holding a referendum to make russian the second state language and many say they have a strong chance of pushing it through a stone despite being criticised by amnesty international for its language policy

is adamant and it seems the russian minority would not catch the magic fish granting their wish anytime soon. let's see russia ski odyssey reporting from thailand in a story yeah. right the second time in four twenty six pm on saturday here in moscow i'll be back with a recap of our top stories in just a few moments. as
