a very warm welcome to you this is our scene live from moscow with me alice had it the egyptian opposition has come together as united for the six days of bloody anti-government riots the ex chief of the international atomic agency mohamed el baradei is now a case of opposition groups an internationally popular candidate he's viewed as the man who could oust president hosni mubarak paulus clear the laces 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 with airing 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
3:02 pm
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 been in 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 rain and nuclear issue he was also criticized by some of his colleagues for being self-righteous and arrogant as being put forward as some kind of leader he is a member of the international crisis group since george soros and george soros is known for pretty well the instigating or the color revolution and no question my mind that this is another color revolution and that the people of

3:04 pm
leaving cairo we're also hearing reports of people desperately trying to find supermarkets where they can stock up on goods those 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 egypt will not really in any way satisfied with what has been 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 louder but they're being drowned out by f.

sixteen is a mic twenty one is flying overhead mubarak is not going down without a fight. 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 enjoyed 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 feel it's right or to beat us was army fail. us is an engineer qualified and jobless but he
3:06 pm
says he can't find work because of corruption we can't find jobs he paid one is inside the company sixty thousand egyptian boat 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 a better life for a better future and for europe that means mass immigration and the problems that come with it may cost shade lives abroad but got caught up in the violence on a trip back home i don't think at this second 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. by was with his cousin when he was shot did he took
3:07 pm
a bullet. in his head. the last word he said before he got here was. may god protect for ever but whether they're protecting will be with or without 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 street and trying to break into people's homes and as we've seen in previous nights people will be forming 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. artie's their policy reporting from a kind of a there wolf for more on all this let's talk to political activist and founder of executive intelligence review magazine lyndon larouche many thanks for joining us here on asking us some of egypt's opposition members have their headquarters in

3:10 pm
where he is there is a certain sense of you have the secretary of state and united states mrs clinton is playing one call a seat which i think most will grow out in the world would would favor but the president of the united states who is nothing but a british puppet some mental problems is actually making the crisis worse we have an internal crisis in the united states is a result of the current president's economic policy which is a continue. this process is dropped so this is the situation we're now in the general crisis is to answer some points or it's in which there's really little being done to solve the problem and for many countries such as those in europe especially in western and central government there's nothing much they can do about this new irish situation with gerry adams typifies the fact that there are forces
