with antigovernment rallies raging throughout egypt protests i do not like seeing behind the music yet. the international atomic bomb stalled bombing. but very few exceptions know mohamed el baradei raising questions of who he is and who's behind him so we need to steer for an update in a few moments. the mystery the missing mayor ukranian the searching. for michele nothing been seen in public for six months. and his deadly shooting sprees hate us once again there are strong calls puts up a gun control that many say

a gun in every household has to be somewhat of. a very warm welcome this is our senior live from moscow with me alice hit the egyptian all position has come together as united force of the six days of bloody anti-government riots the ex chief of the international atomic agency mohamed el baradei i is now negotiating on behalf of all position groups and internationally popular candidates he's viewed as the man who cooldowns president hosni mubarak supporters clear house races from cairo. the appointment of mohamed el baradei as the opposition leader here is an interesting choice because most egyptians really don't know him he has his fame much more on the international stage now what is remarkable is that he's managed to bring together very opposing views here in egypt

particularly referring here to the muslim brotherhood which has been after order egypt for its extremist views now but today is a secular man and he will be a choice that very much will be supported by the united states and by other western powers he has in the past avoided direct confrontation with the egyptian government and at the same time he has been criticized by some for simply not being a good enough leader what is interesting though is that he is calling for regime change but he himself has not even egypt for the past three decades he was the head of the international atomic energy agency for some eleven years and there he was criticized for the way he dealt with the iranian nuclear issue he was also criticized by some of his colleagues for being self-righteous and arrogant the curfew went into effect but like we saw yesterday and in previous days the simply does not make any difference to protesters out on the streets and they've been arriving by the thousands to hear the square in downtown cairo now they are calling

for a general strike they're also calling for a million man march to begin tomorrow tuesday and if they get the figures that they're anticipating they rule get the numbers that will turn up would be more than what we saw last friday on the streets of cairo during that day of rage now some analysts fear that this could lead to violence and that the protests could escalate from tomorrow having said that though the army here is still very much in control the police are nowhere to be seen and the army for their side has been racing protesters in and out of to hear the square that we have been hearing reports of they've set up barricades on the outskirts of the city to stop traffic from entering and leaving cairo we're also hearing reports of people despite the trying to find sue. the markets where they can stock up on goods the first businesses if not all businesses are closed to the egyptian president hosni mubarak appointed a new interior minister now he is a retired army general and he has very much the backing the background and the

support of mubarak as have the other two appointments the that of the vice president and that of the prime minister in recent days so egyptians are not really in any way satisfied with what is being made on a government level also nancy he's in the cabinet his new government and most of the ministers there are the same so with this kind of standoff showing neither side actually prepared to meet halfway people here really are saying that it can only result in violence it can only escalate in the coming hours and the coming days. first he sent in his army then he reshuffled the government next came the air force . people's voices here are loud but they've been drowned out by f. sixteen s that make twenty one is trying of a hit mubarak is not going down without a fine. sankyo mr obama this is your friend 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 or rather the rose revolution enjoy ukraine 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 wanted to get rid of a dictator it's right to beat us with the police he fell he tried to go to beat us was army he failed. us made of buses 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 bones so you can walk is a company and as a result europe because most people 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 a better life for a better future and for europe that means mass immigration and the problems that come with it may cause shade lives abroad but got caught up in the violence on a trip back home i don't think that there's something there's 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. mohamed el c.b.i. was with his cousin when he was shot did took a bullet. in his head. the last word he said before he got here was. whatever but whether they're projecting will be worth with out president mubarak is

still unclear nighttime in cairo brings with it the fear of lawlessness the fear of armed gangs that are literally controlling the highways walking the streets and trying to break into people's homes and as we've seen in previous nights people will be for me what can be called neighborhood watch groups using kitchen knives and sticks and anything that they can get their hands on to protect their property . paul is there reporting from cairo there will keep you updated on the situation in egypt. three million of prostrated ukrainians living in the capital kiev looking for just one man the mystery surrounding their missing mayor the eccentric leonid deepens as is absent from public life and his six month it was the prime minister's demanded to know his whereabouts artie's cesky investigates the disappearance of the city chief. many here for agree that over the past six months ukraine's capital

has become a better place to live in but locals are bewildered as to who should take the credit as the man in charge of the city has gone missing. the mayor i am definitely. in five years as city's top dog and each and maybe a ski has been a journalist delight from singing at a press conference. taking a dive in front of cameras to prove he was mentally sane the eccentricity of key of smear earned him the nickname spaceman and when locals yes i am a spaceman absolutely true if he had gone to space it might at least explain the mystery of where he actually is that's because the last time should not be askew was seen in public was almost six months ago it is troubling not just ordinary citizens but those at the very top as well. as the authorities define to novitsky

in tell him that the people of kiev miss him and want him to return to work. after an avalanche of criticism was dumped on gives mayor following a devastating winter in two thousand and nine the city's snow clearing gear was overhauled by the government. kept he's supposed but the real man running affairs is thought to be the city hall of ministration boss alexander popof he's giving nothing away about the mystery may. villa looks deserted on his mother in law was captured by our camera security guards say they have not seen its principal resident for quite a while but. i saw him last year six months ago even his work. often. has been. this whether it is from a luxury. restored in france or italy or somewhere else the location of where

exactly and it should maybe it's good runs the city from remains unclear but with the prime minister inquiring for his whereabouts the long vacation could soon be cut short for gives me your. looks your share of ski r.t. reporting from key of ukraine. coming up a little later in the program ghana sounds battle for the legality as president convenes a new parliament we look at who want me to be done to form a legitimate political power base in the country. and when this native american man moved to a remote ransome village he calls quite a stir among the living find out what alerted him thousands of miles away from the u.s. in just a few minutes. following the recent shooting of congresswoman gabrielle giffords americans are once again torn over their right to bear arms critics say all they part of the constitution gun ownership has become an obsession in the country with

almost as many private weapons people artie's more or less to report. unlike many other countries in the united states guns can be found everywhere from retail stores this particular want to six hundred on personal a springfield x.d. forty five to rallies it's a river ten twenty two it's easy eighty two are you to the hands of politicians running for office commodore john mcmillan because he gives a rip about alabama and auburn not care to new code to the criminals the. many readily cite the country's second amendment that allows for this right to bear arms the vast majority of level headed americans was 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 what's a constitutional right is now feared by some to become an obsession in the twenty

first century. saying that people in the urban areas need a machine guns and a 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 that they're. semiautomatic weapons like those you see here and the catskill mountains of new york. were jewish americans argued 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 handguns

like you see on the hips of store owners from just near the nation's. capital. to move to 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 tool box. 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 central to american culture and identity coming from the minutemen stemming from our 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 the show say they were which were is are but those that go maybe five ten percent where did this five of ten percent is a believe harm that can be very dangerous for the social peace of the nation.

lauren lyster r.t. and chamber another washington d.c. one a free speech and this has been on trial in denmark have a critical remarks he made about islam has been acquitted the law also had a guard the president of the danish free press and could have faced up to two years in prison if found guilty the activist was prosecuted on today's comments about domestic violence with an islamic family culture although he later admitted his claims that weren't aid in time as the population to national authorities refused to drop the case ahead of the verdict he managed to speak to our head because he told us the problems created by multiculturalism in europe can only be solved by speaking openly about them. it seems to these days that anyone who stands up against. the ruling ideology. is chalked it.

stands to be dragged in front of a can of course their policies failed actually i'm a free speech which i don't have the solutions to choose to to this problem created by our politicians i can only say one thing the correct procedure for even be able to solve the problems is that we mean change free speech because without free speech there is not a chance in hell but we could ever solve any problems in the country. or more on what laws hedegaard has to say in around fifteen minutes time here on our side. now afghanistan's president has convened a new parliament is the attempt to stop the fight to a very new legislature but the money you have how mccall the backing to become the new speaker has stirred controversy. has been accused of war crimes the nearest

human rights violations that are just a mystery of parliament itself without the question of september's elections were carried out and with allegations of rampant fraud in a country ripe with corruption and gripped by war the u.s. led campaign has so far failed to make a breakthrough against the taliban forces but if you contemplate and says it's time for washington to change its strategy in afghanistan. the former u.s. ambassador to india robert blake will. came up last year we have a very creative and innovative idea that is to partition afghanistan his proposition where some merrily dismissed all across the board by afghan pakistani and american analysts as totally on rallies stick and harmful goals to the afghan and american interests in that area however this year will repair

his proposition and published it 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 gana 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 other better option or solution. under the current circumstances for the u.s. policymakers you know afghanistan. well there's always more news of views on videos on our website www dot com is just some of what's waiting for you right now on the

reservation in south dakota in the us to begin a new life here in their quiet in trying to village a more of the country kind of person considering my culture and our background and our ancestral ways. connecting with nature for me like slice of life on the lakota reservation is not easy economically blighted despite stimulus package funds the unemployment rate is among america's highest with a quarter living at or below the poverty line justin had resigned himself to struggling there and definitely cuts until he met natalia but are not just a lot of the women who come around and try and still have to. happen. i got the woman of my dreams and i want to. interest in native american culture sparked a friendship between the two on an online forum justin was there and debating the

lacks in conveniences it makes up for in warmth. people who actually care about each other actually help each other and think about other people before themselves once locals got over the initial surprise of a distant newcomer among them they quickly accepted this interracial and to cultural family. i'm very happy for this young couple i communicate with them i'm always glad to see them at my place and i'm trying to help them with what i can. just in hopes that life on the reservation in south dakota will improve so he might return one day with his family but for now there is no place like his new home. our exclusive interview with danish free speech because a lot ahead of god is on its way in the fifteen minutes time here on the us they sure is little villages this is used for.
