as bloody protests around the around egypt the opposition is coming together under a new think that extreme will be international atomic or stop mohamed el baradei. mohamed el baradei is a figure not well known in egypt questions of being awesome and who supports him join me in a few moments for me. also this hour ukrainians are trying to solve the case of the missing magritte's hasn't been seen in public for six months. on this deadly shooting sprees paid u.s. trades once again there are strong calls for tougher gun control that's many say
10:01 pm
a gun in every household is the centerpiece of american culture. international news live from moscow this is also the with me of all about thanks for joining us egyptian opposition movements have united against embattled president hosni mubarak after seven days of violent armed to government demonstrations the former chief of the international atomic energy agency mohamed el baradei is acting as the head negotiator for opposition groups while respected internationally and seen by some as the man who could alz mubarak at home his largely unknown enjoys little popular support after living abroad for the past three decades all she has pulis near has the latest from cairo. it's already been a number of hours since the curfew was pushed into place and yet thousands of demonstrators continue to defy it by gathering in downtown to hear it square
10:02 pm
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 begins now here demonstrators say they will be making their way to going to be egypt's new president mubarak's presidency 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 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 neighboring cities so having said all of that it has the ingredients for a showdown with some analysts saying that we could see violence on a par if not larger 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
10:03 pm
barricaded in their homes and it's not clear that the majority of egyptians in fact support the appointment of mohamed el baradei as an opposition figure leda 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 regime change when he himself was not here to experience that as you about he 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 mubarak now international observers have also been weighing in right. something say that all baradei does not have the the support and the backing of the texans at heart issues except our administration
10:04 pm
because he is not the george bush man but i think the problem is for the egyptian public he doesn't really have the credentials in the crypt to make you more popular or populist because he's of the call to so many years he's very much part of the shark an international westernized elite and after all one of the criticisms on the ground we hear a crowbar is precisely that the interests of foreigners will have to be chipped so el baradei has to in a sense to distance himself from what makes him credible to us in the west but just says he's at international cricket in order to get credibility with gyptian but other observers are going one step further they say that not only is al baradei the voice of america he has the interests at heart. a belated attempt at getting in on this opposition movement well it may be too late he is part of the international crisis group a murky elite group with close ties to western interests as the people of egypt
10:05 pm
have shown such courage in the face of such u.s. backed 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 were made in the united states and those jets flying over cairo alexandria so is another cities there are americans 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 aside from the protesters in our time here square on a sunday and monday night the streets have a main young quiet there are still neighborhood watch groups keeping guard of a properties in the homes and useful reports coming through of armed vigilante groups so the normal the chaos the uncertainty remains here on the streets of cairo . oh she's policy of reporting there from cairo. smiles be hard to find

10:10 pm
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. thing that people do in the urban areas the machine guns and forty seven and so on is it buster of 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

muslim population of danish also has refused to drop the case. and ahead of his verdict managed to catch up with laws had agusta talk about his views on immigration and multiculturalism in europe that painting is coming up in just about .
10:22 pm
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 problems associated with for example immigration so we hold no 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 effect i think
10:23 pm
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 furrows of free speech more determined 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 drills as you mentioned we have very much highlighted the case of code westacott the swedish
10:24 pm
artist last vilks recently the case of elizabeth seventy should evolve 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 largest in fact hated by the. the ruling media and the ruling class the politically correct plus it seems to these days that anyone who stands up against. the ruling ideology is targeted and. stands to be dragged in front of a of course and why do you think your thirty's 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
10:25 pm
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 forty 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
10:26 pm
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 real support 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 or from india or from sri lanka or most of these people. create absolutely no problem they are indeed an enrichment 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 suit suit to have 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
10:27 pm
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 when she also came out and condemned. who published the book about the. but the solution of germany and he was then widely criticized and condemned as a matter of fact i'm going to 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
10:28 pm
that things are not going as smoothly as she would have liked but she still. is she and others would still need to do so the population what are we going to do about this problem thank you very much for your time.
