in israel. egypt crumbles beneath the feet of thousands of angry protesters who have now been united in opposition against their president. after a week of violence and more than one hundred deaths egypt have chosen a figure to oppose hosni mubarak join me in a few moments for an update. the latest streak of deadly shootings in the u.s. puts the issue of gun ownership in the firing line once again bottom americans are still defending their constitutional right to. ukraine's prime minister order as a search for the eccentric mayor of the country's capital the embattled leader. hasn't been seen in public for six months now. and.

we continue to bring you the highlights. speaking exclusively to solve. that sentiment. you're watching our ten in the morning here in moscow welcome to the program and now to our top story the egyptian opposition has come together as a united force after six days of bloody anti-government riots the ex chief of the international atomic wash mohamed el baradei is the mat of choice to oust president hosni mubarak and while the army is installing barricades in cairo many countries have started evacuating their citizens our correspondent paul us leader is in egypt for us. it was late on sunday evening when they addressed the hundreds of

thousands of protesters who've for seven days now have been demonstrating in downtown tokyo in the square he said that he had been chosen by opposition groups by the political organizations that have organized these demonstrations he said that he was prepared to head an interim government of called on to do so and once again it's related to the rallying call of the thousands of egyptians for hosni mubarak to step down now the mayor this was not a major surprise i mean mohamed el baradei has been a name that's been bandied about here in the last few days as a possibility in terms of unifying this very fragmented opposition party opposition force it is worth noting that it took protesters six days to appoint him and this is largely because hosni mubarak since he came to power thirty years ago has been intent on suppressing opposing views and as a result these demonstrations have been slightly chaotic about today is in may and that is well known to the international community but here in egypt he is

a relative sunni one player he is much better known on the international scene where he is the former head of the international atomic energy agency and he's also a nobel peace prize laureate but certainly the opposition voices here getting a impetus with this new appointment last night as we saw in previous nights the protesters out in downtown cairo defied a curfew thousands of them gathering into here will square morning prayers have already happened no doubt that as the day progresses there will be an increase in calls for obama to step down and the possibility of growing violence it is worth noting though that the main problem that people here are facing at the moment is that of nor dismiss the army is in full control and they have been allowing demonstrators to come in and leave the protest the police don't know where to be seen and what this means is that ordinary citizens are having to protect their properties against vigilante groups some of them of people. who broke out of

prisons on sunday some of them are people who simply raided police stations and stole with news of the nation from there and they've been raiding the streets in some in some neighborhoods they are in control of the locals and that is really the major concern that people here particularly in cairo or other cities are facing the sense you get is one of unpredictability the same sygate is instability and really a situation that can flare up at any moment it does seem at the moment as if violence is on the horizon just how long these demonstrations will continue and just how that violence will end remains to be seen talking to protesters though what many of them say is that if mubarak does not step down overseas particularly he would beckons and i filed this report in that respect. first he sent in his army then he reshuffled the government next came the if force. people's voices here are louder but they're being drowned out by f.

sixteen is a mic twenty one is trying of a head mubarak is not going down without a fine. sank you are mr obama this is your friend as barack this is your friend and the american involvement reminiscent of earlier revolutions in eastern europe. no question about it what happened in georgia with the orange revolution of the rose revolution and join. in with the orange revolution two thousand and three two thousand and four was part of a long term strategy orchestrated by the pentagon the state department and various us financed n.g.o.s like freedom house and national endowment for democracy and like those early revolutions people mobilized around a common goal abdel nur came all the way from us one to get rid of a dictator it's right to beat us with the police he feel it's right to beat us was army failed the russians must admit a bus is an engineer qualified and jobless but he says he can't find work because

of corruption we can't find jobs he paid one inside the company sixty thousand egyptian bones so you can walk is a company and as a result europe beckons most the people who want to go to italy want to go to greece want to go to england so people in egypt want to leave this country because they are very frustrated and they are looking for better life for a better future and for europe that means mass immigration and the problems that come with it may cause shared lives abroad but got caught up in the violence on a trip back home i don't think at this second there is enough momentum at the moment that people just continue to just go out and protest until something is done and i think people are just fed up the casualties keep climbing young faces victims of an aging regime. mohammed elsie by was with his cousin when he was shot did he took a bullet. in his head. the last words he said before he

die here was. he's. prepared for ever but whether they're protecting will be with or without president mubarak is still unclear well as the seventh day of demonstrations gets underway here in egypt no doubt the international community will remain focused on what happens here as well egyptians themselves i'll be bringing you more updates from after day a recent spike in fatal shootings in the u.s. says reignited the debate over the right to bear arms while some politicians are now calling to restrict what americans consider a part of their freedom but in a country where the number of private guns almost equals the population cowboy habits die hard lauren lister reports. unlike many other countries in the united states guns can be found everywhere from retail stores this

particular want to six hundred dollars springfield x t forty five to rally if they were ten twenty two it's a easy eighty two there used the hands of politicians running for office time endorsing john mccain millan because he gives a rip about alabama and auburn to not care to new codes or criminals the new charge so many readily cite the country's second amendment that allows for this right to bear arms the vast majority of level headed americans realize it is a constitutional right and as such they probably don't have a problem with it. but with a population of three hundred seven million people and roughly three hundred million firearms owned by civilians in the united states with a constitutional right it is now feared by some sixty to become an obsession in the twenty first century thing that people do in the urban areas the machine guns and the forty seven and so on is preposterous an obsession that can't be ignored

considering recent acts of gun violence and the ease of access to firearms so in the united states for the average citizen like myself to purchase a gun i need to go through a background check with the federal government looking for anything from criminal history to mental illness and if i pass that you get anything from a handgun like you see here to a semiautomatic weapon which these are over here and even an automatic weapon like a machine gun for their. semiautomatic weapons like those you see here in the catskill mountains of new york. were jewish americans argue their firing off their second amendment rights to guard against the threat of terrorism we need to express those rights we need to own weapons we need to protect ourselves and guns like you see on the hips of store owners from just near the nation's. capital forty . two a southern town where gun ownership is actually mandatory in the south

a gun is just part of the household just like a hammer isn't a tools last. a tool a sporting good a means of self-defense or murder however you describe it gun owners say it's more than a firearm it's a symbol centrals to american culture and identity an informed man stemming from a revolution. to cowboys to any of that kind of thing i mean the gun is actually a centerpiece of american history. a piece of history that critics say continues to warn the country what is the percentage of people in a society were which were is but the logical maybe five or ten percent but if this is five of ten percent of the airplane armed. be very dangerous for the social peace of the nation i guess laura mr r.t. and chamber and out of washington d.c. . in denmark a free speech campaigner is on trial over racism charges laurus hedegaard the

president of the danish free press society will be handed his verdict later today their guard was prosecuted after drawing attention to the trend of honor killings and sexual abuse in some muslim families while his trial has been criticized by human rights activists who say denmark's authorities are trying to suppress free speech had guard told r.t. that the problems created by multiculturalism in europe can only be solved by speaking openly about them. it seems to me states that anyone who stands up against. the ruling ideology is chalk a ditch and. as it stands to be dragged in front of the of course the policies fail and fail. on the free speech because i don't have the solutions. to see this problem created by our politicians i can only say one thing the predict received for even be able to solve the problems is that we are

maintaining free speech because without free speech there is not a chance in hell could ever sold any problems in the country. well you can watch that interview in full here on r.t. in around twenty minutes time now a local government official in kiev has reassure the public that the mayor is alive and well it's been months since anyone saw the vets in public and many ukrainians are worried even the prime minister is demanded to know his whereabouts artie's alexei or shoves investigates the mystery surrounding the disappearance of the eccentric mare. key if twelve months ago snow fall paralyzed the city with practically no snow clearing vehicles on the roads and this is ukraine's capital today clean streets with gorgeous decorations many agree that over the past six

and american analysts as totally on rallies stick and harmful bowls afghan and american interests in that area however this year rubber black will repair kit just his proposition and published in foreign affairs as plan b. for afghanistan and this time i believe it stands a good chance to be taken seriously because though it talks about the effect of separation of again a state in reality it implies how to separate the united states from afghanistan and to minimize the afghan exposure to the us foreign policy well it's another issue where the white house will accept this idea but for the time being the reason no better option or solution
