12:05 pm
attacks of this kind. now diplomatic cables released by wiki leaks reveal that the u.s. government had been planning to topple the egyptian president for the past three years well the fall show washington had been secretly backing leading figures behind the uprising in egypt it comes as dozens have been killed over and over two thousand and be violent after government protests since tuesday demonstrators are demanding that president mubarak steps down but he's refusing to quit instead he's dismissed his government and has started appointing a new cabinet here dressed follow similar riots in tunisia as president was toppled before fleeing into exile. or has the latest from the egyptian capital cairo. now there is no police here in downtown cairo although there is a strong army presence and they have ordered demonstrators to stay off the streets at this stage that seems highly unlikely we're also hearing reports of
12:06 pm
a lot of violence in the northern part of the country particularly the delta region we've been told that a police station has been raided so certainly the violence at the moment showing no signs of abating the latest we're hearing from these wiki leaks documents is that for the at least the last two to three years they've been supporting opposition voices here in egypt now this certainly is a sign of double standards the united states has always had a very delicate balancing act here in egypt privately they've they've they've on numerous occasions occasionally push it to the egyptian president hosni mubarak but certainly in the public arena they've lent their support to him now this seems to be a slight change in the last few days with the u.s. president barack obama going on the record and calling for an unprecedented change . you need to remember of course that mubarak is the united states' strongest ally in the arab world but at the same time they do not want to be too closely aligned with every gene that seems to be so corrupt and so he that is the reason or if he's one of the major reasons for the demonstrations this week in analysts journalists
12:07 pm
investigative reporters have pointed fingers at the united states in terms of trying to change the politics of this region i think what we have obviously is the cia no doubt about it they are playing the card of mob rule the technical term is a clock grocery across the entire arab world it looks to me like a vagabond quite it's a double or nothing strategy they seem to be shooting the works for destabilization mubarak is not dependent enough he's not dependent enough on nato he's not dependent enough on the i.m.f. above all they're looking for some kind of gerrick regimes that could be played against iran or for other purposes. another thing that was revealed in these wiki leaks documents is that the united states themselves seem to have been caught unawares as to the risk that mubarak failed it doesn't seem to suggest that they thought that mubarak's regime had any chance of failing anytime soon will have had
12:08 pm
time to talk to protesters here on the streets and and they voice is unanimous i've heard a deadline of two days been given in terms of when they expect mubarak to fall the situation intern is here is important because it's so the same tired of feeling of hopefulness throughout the arab world that is being felt now in egypt that when you plant when you apply enough pressure you do have the ability to bring down a dictatorship dictatorship having said that though it is conspicuous and it is worth noting that mubarak has had very little to say about these recent demonstrations leaving that to his top party officials some of whom it's come on record in the last few hours are saying that they do believe that there needs to be extremely gene change another reason why people here thinking that these demonstrations will indeed be food. paulus leader there talking to us from cairo and with our team and still ahead for you this hour misplaced priorities as the insurgency in afghanistan continues to claim lives parties the military contributor says the u.s.

12:10 pm
from health care these days there's probably the media is is the industry of the twenty first century half a century ago fifty corporations rammed a major networks and newspapers since then a rapid concentration of media ownership has resulted in near media monopolies spearheaded by a lucky few pumping money from the news cash cow and piping corporate interests to the viewers and readers the danger of this kind of media concentration is that it robs democracy of diversity it robs viewers from being exposed to a wider range of views. analysts say the u.s. is living in the golden age of media bias. it's never been easier for them to find out exactly who is behind what where the conflicts of interest are topping the list of owners of rupert murdoch and his empire the news corp you have been a global media enterprise if you shake that agenda at all your interests i mean

12:13 pm
networks that are run by disney to bring us the truth about what's happening in our economy and media are increasingly novelized the number of voices interested in bringing their viewers a little something called truth has decreased as a result instead of representing journalism the media have become loudmouths the corporations if that's the truth get out artsy. well as more americans turn to alternative a new sources it's websites and blogs that are increasingly filling the void but radio host alex jones says the internet is also in danger of becoming manipulated by big business. you have the old dinosaur media now and by five or maybe six mega conglomerates and they're really teaming up with the government and getting secret payments so this came out five years ago famous cases of reporters being given hundreds of thousands of dollars apiece by the bush administration armstrong
