hello and welcome to all see twenty four hour news live from moscow and our town main story now gyptian opposition movement movements have united against embattled president hosni mubarak after seven days of violent and to government demonstrations the former chief of the international atomic energy agency mohamed el baradei is acting as they head negotiator for opposition groups while respected internationally and seen by some as the man who could alstom a bark at home he is largely unknown and enjoys little popular support after living abroad for the past three decades ati's point is here at the latest from cairo. that's already been a number of hours since the curfew was put into place and yet thousands of demonstrators continue to defy it by gathering in downtown tokyo square. they're

becoming always will be extremely telling in this unfolding story in egypt in history because early morning is when the so-called million man march will be gears now here demonstrators say they will be making a very to voice in egypt from president assad's mubarak's prison in the sea towards his palace and handing over some kind of memorandum of demands the army says that it will not interfere but that is not what we're seeing here on the streets on sunday we are hearing reports of the army barricading all the roads in and out of cairo we know that the trains of the have been disrupted you know their buses have been stopped and people are finding it very hard to come in and the support to the residents of cairo from neighboring cities so having said all of that it has the ingredients for a showdown with some analysts saying that we could see environments. if not knowledge than what we saw last fine day in the so-called day of rage and i have spent the day talking to protesters on the streets as well as people barricaded in their homes and it's not clear that the majority of egyptians in fact support the

appointment of mohamed el baradei as the opposition figure to lead to many of the people i spoke to had the criticism leveled at him that for the past thirty years since mubarak has been in power he simply has not even the country i mean as one protester put it to me it's i want that he arrived back at last thursday and called for version change when he himself was not here to experience that as you a barbie is a figure that is well known in the international community but he's not that well known here in egypt and he's very much closely associated with the united states with western powers some protesters telling me that they don't really see the difference between him and mubarak as one person put it to me it's not so much that they support it's rather that they hate. the international observers have also been weighing in they simply say that all baradei does not have the the wishes the support and the backing of the egyptians as poss but other observers are going one step further they say that not. only is our baradei the voice of america he has the

interests at heart except our administration because he was not the george bush but i think the problem is for the egyptian public he doesn't really have the credentials and the career paths to make you more popular or populist because he said to call to so many years he's very much part of the shark an international westernized elite but after all one of the criticisms on the ground we hear a crowbar is precisely that the interests of foreigners who had to be chipped. has to to a sense to distance themselves from what makes incredible to us in the west but just says he's at international cricket in order to get credibility to the chips. belated attempt at getting in on this opposition movement well it may be too late is part of the international crisis group a murky elite group with close ties to western interests as the people of egypt are shown such courage in the face of such us back terror that is occurred in egypt for

the past thirty years to the people of egypt one. i think that's doubtful the best this is a storm very much of the americans own making and i think the people will remember that the bullets fired at them are made in the united states and those jets flying over cairo alexandria so is another cities there are american so if this is a sudden switch by the americans to suddenly think well maybe we can baradei and i think it may be too late as side from the protesters in our town here square on sunday and monday night the streets here remain quiet there are still neighborhood watch groups keeping guard of properties in their homes and they still reports coming through of armed vigilante groups so nor listeners the chaos the uncertainty remains here on the streets of cairo. aussie's policy ever pushing there from cairo it might be hard to find a missing mother in a city of three million people but when he's the mad that it's really

a mystery the search is on for caves eccentric city chiefs let each other know that ski who disappeared from public six months ago so was the mare here cesc investigates from the ukrainian capital. many if agree that over the past six months ukraine's capital has become a bad 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. definitely. in five years as city stop dog maybe it's he 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 kiev smellier earned him the nickname spaceman among 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 defined in tell him that the people of kiev miss him and want him to return to work. after an avalanche of criticism was dumped and gives mayor following a devastating winter in two thousand and nine the city's snow clearing gear was overhauled by the government chimney cap he s'posed but the real man running affairs is thought to be the city hall of ministration boss alexandre popof but he is giving nothing away about the mystery may. villa looks deserted only his mother in law was captured by our camera security guards say they have not seen its principal resident for quite a while. i saw him. six months ago even his.

giffords americans can't come to a consensus over the right to bear arms critics say that the constitution protects gun ownership people in the service cesspool of being armed but there are nearly as many gathers people in the country also has a law in this to report. 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 it's a river ten twenty two it's a busy eighty two there you see the hands of politicians running for office commodore when john mcmillan because he gives a rip about alabama and auburn not care to new thoughts the criminals think. 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 is now feared by some sixty to become an obsession in the twenty first century. saying that people die in the urban areas the 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 for their. semiautomatic weapons like those you see here in

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 is in the toolbox. 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 a revolution. to cowboys to any other kind of thing i mean the gun is actually a centerpiece of american history. a piece of history that critics say continues to

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 the rally stick and harmful goals to the afghan and american interests in that area however this year robert blackwill repair kits to 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 defective separation of her ghana state in reality it implies how to separate the united states from afghanistan and to minimize that avg an exposure to the us foreign

a guard to talk about his views on immigration and multiculturalism in europe that interview is coming up in just a few. your organization defends freedom of speech your site details attempts to curtail speech

freedoms particular related to multicultural policies would you prefer there be no immigration to the e.u. . no that's not what we're about we have we have no position on immigration as such. we simply insist on our ranch to describe the of the problems associated with for example immigration so we know position on that you've been a supporter of kurt westergaard since his publication the publication i should say of his depiction of mohammed caused a global scandal what effect did publishing such cartoons have on media censorship in europe i don't know if it's had any effects i think it's clarified to watch that the issue is. it has made those who are in favor of free speech more vigilant determined to protect it and it's made the the

furrows of free speech moved to germany to crush it so i think it is it has heightened the conflicts between various forces in europe so many people associate europe with liberal values with freedom of speech your website though depicts pressure details i said they pressure of critics of radical islam and how they've been pressured by authorities to curb what they want to say about it but you did tell some of these cases well we have highlighted for example the case of villages as you mentioned we have very much highlighted the case of cote westacott the swedish artist los vilks recently the case of elizabeth seventy should voles from austria. and if you take all these cases together you can see that regardless of what you think of each individual's positions or politics they all have this in

common that they are not loved in fact hated by the. the ruling media and the ruling class the politically correct class it seems to these days that anyone who stands up against. the ruling ideology is talk of it. stands to be dragged in front of a of course and why do you think the authorities are so focused on curtailing speech freedoms i think for the reason that the policies have failed and failed utterly. for thirty to forty years we have been told. by our leaders and practically all put all of all politicians and political parties that it's unlimited immigration is really a good thing for the country it is a good thing for for denmark to have for example

a sizeable minority of muslims in the country we now have a lot of course a million four to five percent of the population. even though. most of these immigrants muslim immigrants have refused to integrate into our society become part of us. we've constantly been sold that this is an enrichment of the country. problems do not really exist problems only exists to the extent that people say there is a problem so in other words they want to they want to silence critics because they think or claim at least that if they could shut up some people like me or some of the other people i mentioned or many others in the country problems would go away it's if you cannot solve the problem then at least you can silence those who say the risible i would say most people most immigrants integrate wonderfully in

this country we have no problems with say russians or people from vietnam or from china from india or from sri lanka or most of these people. create absolutely no problem they are indeed an enrichment a country when there are other people who are not what is the problem i'm i'm a free speech advocates i don't have the solutions. to this problem created by our politicians i can only say one thing which is that. the prerequisites for even being able to solve the problems is that we maintain free speech and protect free speech because without free speech there is not a chance in hell that we could ever solve any problems in the country and you claim that the media elites willfully ignore the ever increasing problem of immigration yet german chancellor angela merkel and it was reported all over the world stated

that multicultural policies in germany had failed yes and what to do about it then i mean she also came out tonight and condemned to who published the book about the . dissolution of germany and he was then widely criticized and condemned as a matter of fact angela merkel came out and said she would never read the book she condemned the book and hadn't read it i think that is a very typical reaction. but of course you're right the fact that she even would even come out and say multiculturalism is failed of course is an indication that things are not going as smoothly as she would have liked but she still. she and others would still need to to sell the population what are we going to do about this problem thank you very much for your time.
