long. its army says it will not fire on the thousands of protesters demanding president hosni mubarak step down but there are fears that man and take to lead the uprising will seek to ally egypt with washington's agenda. the western media covers the riots in egypt as a democratic storm twisting the story and other similar events to suit their own tune experts say the mainstream news plagued by double standards. eighty years since the birth of boris yeltsin the legacy of russia's first president is remembered to across the country join me next on a boy in a few moments. and the london high court is set to decide whether or not he's as

it's cool with russian oil giant this is archie is following the developments on the story. and you're watching i'm going to live from moscow i'm marina joshua welcome to the program we start with cairo were a mass rally has been promised by protesters demanding the country's president steps 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 or a week ago and all internet and phone communication has been suspended in various parts of the country many protesters claim the u.s. help to stabilize their country to make it more of a plan and on down behind the bar they use the axe chief of the international atomic watchdog has been put forth to replace incumbent president hosni mubarak

even though egyptians want to regime change they are not sure whether this. they will serve in their best interest or those of us are just fall asleep year has been finding out why the public doesn't fully trust him. night time in kind of dark empty and scary we we gather every day like at seven thirty pm. we say ok who like to to do the first shift and so would like to do the second and so on some people are armed you know muhammad 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 options feel safer. belated attempt at getting in on this opposition movement well it may be too late he's part of the international crisis group a murky elite group with close ties to western interests i think of the media aboard 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 worst thirty years i'm not sure mohamed el baradei really stands as much of chance as senior analysts are saying 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. there is no difference between mubarak and el baradei america supports both of them and the

american media has built up. egyptians don't like. he's lived in europe and the united states and hasn't even been here 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 body but every. day lived in america we don't want him he was. the strange things in telling us it was bread. and a little bit of a we didn't choose a borrowed line which was only for a short period of change he's only temporary. 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 will. and the egyptians need national leaders not american populace with american agendas if people support el baradei it's only because they hate mubarak. which is why amidst the chaos he gyptian find themselves

turning to each other for protection and reassurance policy r t cover that washington has been financially supporting the country for years and has have all invested in its political agenda madam believe this could be the reason behind its so-called involvement in the uprising blogger hand remark from canada says the west is the looking for a man they can control. i think their real agenda is to move mubarak and put in someone they can control like el baradei and the and the protestations of support for mubarak are are basically window dressing there's no question in my mind that this whole uprising has been orchestrated by. what i call globalists this is another color revolution and that the people of egypt a while their grievances are justified they're being there their grievances are

being exploited in order for the globalists to ratchet up their control of the joe the people who are trying to create a one world government and they do this by removing local leaders who are too independent and i think they must have decided that mubarak is too independent for their liking and i was wagner hanna matthau talking about the international jannah in egypt's uprising and stay with a country where the blood seems witnessed have been dominating headlines across the world the protests and violence have a common media sensation but as are teasing us to see a trick it 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 same face no matter where on the world map they take place. you were or the middle east britain or egypt when people do this. the world should know it's time to listen to what they have to say although the 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 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 approach their cause bridge 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 downplayed what was happening was stressing the young age factor the youth in britain are very disappointed and spinning the bad kids at play aspect smashing of the windows a fire extinguisher getting thrown at a police person as well as underscoring the criminality of what was happening 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. what 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 class system because it is under reporting of substance by the u.s. media have been a way to make sure the message from britain that the common people are not prepared to pay for the folly of the ruling elite did not ring too close to home. meanwhile as the streets of egypt erupted in chaos after dropping your four 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 less attention has been drawn to u.s. support of this leadership the united states taxpayers of billions of dollars over the past thirty years some media 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 creates depending on what kind of impact occurring world events can have on america just as determined by t v. and coming out in the program kidnapped by the system of russian fights to our daughters from swedish authorities who have allegedly the girls wait without warning r t investigates the

case. russia is marking the eightieth birthday of the man who took their story to its limits and introduce democracy following the collapse of the soviet union or is he elton is remembered most for his sweeping reforms and free market aspirations for years after his death the legacy of the first president of russia still divides manny argues account of what the reports from his home city. the main event is the opening day and availing of the monument a wide marble all delays that you can see behind me the president of a there who was present at their veiling ceremony today phrased russia's first president for his courage in steering the country towards democracy and sad the democratic changes that took place in russia irreversible with europe as it jumped on the issues that only the part of our first president was a very difficult every single citizen of our country and realizes this today the first president always has his work cut out for him he needs to change the entire

political system and this was the fight that befell boris yeltsin we must admit that he was up to the time and stood his ground honorably the modern but not perfect country we live in today 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 thought emir putin and mentor midriff 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 in russia 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 blamed 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 funds are growing a bit more sympathetic he never doubted he would live to celebrate his country of birth the. but instead his widow has to fight back tears while opening an exhibition time to what have been his eightieth jubilee in nearly four years since boris yeltsin's down the agony of loss has given way to quiet remembrance but he really liked family gatherings birthdays we usually celebrated with us. 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 novelty and courage and one hopes of a different life in

a better country are still untainted by the harsh reality of the war in chechnya which hilton himself admitted was a mistake the banking crisis is that with cripple the already impoverished population all of these from the come later and some argue that in fairly obscure all the good that yeltsin had done. anything you are just better proceed through a distance especially in history i think we still need more time for the emotions and troubles to give way to serious analysis of what to take tannic figures and really was. but a service he had of protocol for more than eight years and of all the else in the explosive character and unpredictable temperament often contravened the dry rules of diplomatic engagement but a mere staff he had never had a better boss. never thwarted a single event and he was never alone 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 again he was overwhelmed by emotions he turned his head and saw the shift change that was the only one who was objecting dragging him away all the other people around him were applauding. he was there shooting to power by the great hopes of the people who left office full of regrets for not fulfilling all of them they thought was only after young. past the way that he's country can start to damage his legacy in all its complexity yeltsin seventieth birthday were celebrated with far fewer accolades but one taking played or even those who criticized him very harshly and growing to become a gracious investment of character in his policies because even they have come to realize that with all his ups and downs yeltsin was the very epitome of russia and the ninety nine times in a way to our team moscow. and actually so is your analogy caught up with boris yeltsin's head of protocol that english chunka revealed some unique details about

the first russian president's work and personality and you can watch that full interview in about fifteen minutes time here on r.t. . and a deputy director of the elton foundation told us earlier that besides the controversial legacy of the late president his main achievement is that he to crush a u.s. relations to a new level. has a why is there rejected the legacy of the cold war well the american the russian the relationship was based all this zero zero sum game which meant that what is good for russia for the soviet union was meant to be bad for america and why so worst of what was good for the united states was interpreted as bad for russia yeltsin established. guide of relationship or with washington they had no friendship with of an american president bill clinton and he made russia
