morning twenty to. ten am in moscow you're watching r t with me arena josh and we start with cairo where a mass rally has been promised by protesters demanding the country's president step down close to a million are expected to fill the streets and fresh demonstrations against the government so far more than one hundred fifty people have been killed and thousands injured since protests began over a week ago many protesters claim the u.s. helps destabilize their country to make it more dependent on that day who is the ex chief of the international atomic watchdog has been put forth to replace incumbent president hosni mubarak even though if you want a regime change they're not sure whether this candidate will serve in their best interests or those of the you. yes i do suppose leader has been finding out why the

public doesn't fully trust him. night time in kind of dark. and scary we we gather every day like at seven thirty pm. we say ok who liked to do the first shift until we'd like to do the second and so on some people are armed you know mohammed and his neighbors take turns protecting their property by day they're professionals by night street guards groups of armed gangs are on the prowl and ordinary citizens have to rely on themselves for protection they've collected what they can kitchen knives bathroom sticks poles rods anything they can get their hands on to keep their home safe. and with security at an all time low the leader who's come forward to replace hosni mubarak is offering precious little to make each actions feel safer. 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 i think of the media of war two different lines as the people of egypt are shown such courage in the face of such us backed terror that has occurred in egypt for the past thirty years i'm not sure mohammed el baradei really stands as much of chance as a senior analyst to say washington has yet to officially declare support for the former international atomic energy agency chief but he's someone they recognize as do other foreign powers prompting some to believe president obama's allegiance is now divided between the current president and the would be challenger. and there is no difference between the barak and el baradei on american sports both of them and the american media has built up. i don't like it in europe and united states and has an even. for thirty years. and he came back and called for

a regime change prompting critics to point out that he was absent for most of us live in this village but our very. day lived in america we don't want him he was using a carrier and other strange things and telling us he was growed out of all. of this immediately. which was only for a short period of change only temporarily. now he's much better known on the international stage than in his own backyard and has yet to be recognized by the eighty million egyptians he hopes to who are good and the egyptians need national leaders not american apartments with american agenda if people support el baradei it's only because they hate on barak. which is why amidst the chaos egypt is find themselves turning to each other for protection and reassurance policy r.t. . and washington has been financially supporting the country for years and is

heavily invest invest it and its political agenda i want to comes to openly supporting the incumbent president or he suggested replacement some say washington is playing on both fields to avoid losing out. right now we see being promoted by a number of important actors including important actors in the united states like freedom house that has been served funding resistance groups in egypt however somebody who's been out of egypt for years he's somebody who promotes neo liberal reforms the same kind that have caused the of an economic devastation in egypt and who doesn't have a real lot of credence within you know broadly within egypt and hasn't been involved in any of the democratic mobilization the muslim brotherhood has a base but certainly not the kind of base that would give it a win in the election the bush administration or the obama administration they've been supporting the mubarak regime for thirty years so the tune of one point five billion dollars a year. more money than any other country in the world except for israel which is

the top recipient and what they're doing is supporting a military dictatorship and they're doing that enthusiastically so this rhetoric about democracy is a complete farce that said there is no chance the muslim brotherhood with an election you know the difficulty for the united states is that mubarak has what is really the key that they see has been holding israel and place and as such mubarak and his regime have been complicit in oppressing the palestinian people as well while the u.s. is hedging its bets the u.s. has a tendency to fund both the both the those in power and to the opposition because that way either way it wins there's a recognition on the part of the state department that there is great discontent in egypt that there are that there have been riots there that there's a potential for the overthrow of this dictator who they've kept in power for thirty years recognizing that it's important to the state department to make sure that whoever is going to come and take his place will also be an ally of the united states. i was under apology a professor at the empire explaining washington's position on egyptian uprising and

saying with a country where the blood seems witnessed have been dominating headlines across the world the protests in the violence have become a media sensation but as artie's an associate you're going to has been finding out some western countries choose to portray the events in a matter that suits their own political agenda. riots and outrage have the seen no matter where on the world map they take place. or the middle east if you're britain or egypt and people do this. the world should know it's time to listen to what they have to say all of this scale of events doesn't compare the anger does it is that a leadership deaf to the needs and desires of its people what we're seeing play out in tunisia egypt and other countries is no different than what we saw in greece and what we've seen in italy and what we've seen in the u.k. are violent at least what is different is how the media choose to are pro choice their cars or and depending on what country has its streets in chaos you look at

the double standard if you burn a bank in greece you're a villain if you burn the party headquarters in cairo you're a hero if you're not a mockery of course when recently tens of thousands of protesters took to the streets of britain in reaction to to wish an hikes in an economy that was dwindling the u.s. media down clearly what was happening is so stressing the young age factor the youth in britain are very disappointed and spinning the bad kids at play aspect now the smashing of the windows a fire extinguisher getting thrown out of police person as well as underscoring the criminality of what was happening and violent criminals who will join in the action for the sake of having a cause to adopt or just a crowd to join and vent some anger focusing on the unfortunate occurrences with charles and camilla the duchess. what do we know about charles and camilla they're fine right a window was smashed splashed the car kicked not to mention on any channel the

symbolism of attacking the king in waiting seen by many of the british as a remnant of a deeply unfair and classes difference because just under the sporting of substance by the us media have been a way to make sure the message from britain is that the common people are not prepared to pay for the folly of the ruling elite did not read too close to home. and while as the streets of egypt erupted in chaos it's not stopping people u.s. media has been portraying these events as the struggle of the disenfranchised masses and stressing the need for the egyptian leadership to address the grievances of the population all of those values that we take so seriously here haven't really existed in that part of the world most attention has been drawn to u.s. support of this leadership united states taxpayers of billions of dollars over the past thirty years some medio also threw in wishful thinking it could go all the way from tunisia to obama unlike britain egypt is a country seen as too different to reflect on the us speaking of the people's will

and the need for responsive government may therefore be less scary information is a word that seems to be long forgotten by the mainstream american media instead what you will some been receiving are opinions from people far away from events on the ground but close to a political agenda that actuates depending on what kind of impact occurring world events can have on america just as a church and i t v are. coming up here and are kidnapped by the system a russian woman fights to free her daughter swedish authorities from having allegedly the girls away without warning r t investigates the case. and russia is marking the eightieth birthday of the man who took perestroika to its limits and introduce democracy following the collapse of the soviet union and is remembered most for his sweeping reforms and free market aspirations but four years after his death the legacy of the first president of russia still divides many

he was up to the top students ground. the modern but not perfect country we live in to say it was created thanks to boris yeltsin and everyone who helped him build the foundations of a new nation boris yeltsin has always been and remains a harley polarizing figure in the russian society he's generally credited for bringing democracy to russia both of his successors lauded mir putin and mentor medvedev commanded him for making the russian democracy irreversible he was also overseeing a major transition of the world's largest command economy into a free market one but all those reforms came at a very high price for the russian society and were harder than many people in russia in almost a decade that he was in power russia's external dad increased by sixty percent russia suicide rate increased by seventy percent and for many people it was indeed

a very very hard transition they blame to him for not preventing the collapse of the soviet union and. for not softening the blow for the majority of russians but as the time goes by most trust a growing a bit more sympathetic that was said by by a widow and doris and. all of them are present at this ceremony it's not he's bought it's a few really heartbreaking and really touching to a man while still serious here if you could see more of a got married a year after graduation and they stayed together for more than fifteen years that name. was moved to tears to see his morning well that. he still greatly. he never doubted if he would live to celebrate his hundredth birthday but instead his widow has to find a better tears while opening an exhibition time to what have been his eightieth

jubilee in nearly four years since boris yeltsin's death the agony of loss has given way to quiet remembrance. he really liked family gatherings birthdays we usually celebrated with. most of these photos show yeltsin in his early years in power but he had the backing of almost the entire country when voicing your political position was still an act of noble to encourage and one hopes of a different life in a better country are still untainted by the harsh reality of the war in chechnya which admitted it was a mistake the banking crisis that with crippled the already population obese from the come later and as some argue when fairly obscure all the good that yeltsin had done. through distance especially in history i think we still need more time. to give way to serious analysis would it take tannic

figures and really. diminish your chance. the service he's had of protocol for more than eight years and of all the yeltsin explosive character and unpredictable temperament often contravene the dry rules of diplomatic engagement but diminish sas he had never had a better boss. never thwarted a single event and he was never late but emotionally he could be absolutely unpredictable and do what no one expected him to do like his famous conducting of an orchestra for example and the game. motions he turned his. cheek that was the only one whose object to drag him away all the other people running. he was introduced to power by the great folks of people who left office full of regrets for not fulfilling all of down because only after yeltsin passed away the country can start to design in his legacy in all its complexity yeltsin seventieth birthday

were celebrated last year accolades but one day called later even those who criticized him very harshly are growing a bit more gracious investment of character and policies because even they have come to realize that with all his ups and downs yeltsin was the very epitome of russia of the ninety nine to the work of art scene. and here were rights activists are accusing swedish authorities of separating innocent families for monetary gains they say children are being poured into foster care without evidence of any wrongdoing at home. or reports swedish law does little to help their parents get their loved ones back. christmas gifts never given. my children are in someone else's hands stone and i don't know what's happening with them or how they're being treated it's been over a month since natalia a russian citizen living in sweden has seen her twin girls and family. a mother's
