i'm sure would be soon which brightened if you knew me by phone from phones to british and. starts on t.v. don't come home. egypt's army says it will not fire on the thousands of protesters demanding president hosni mubarak step down but there appears to be an handpicked to lead the uprising will see tell line egypt with washington's a janda. 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 view is played by double standards. russia remembers its first president on the t.v. in a verse or boris yeltsin's birth with commemorative events being held all across the country we'll bring you more details in just a few moments. and

i think i mean to live from moscow i'm arena joshie 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 well all internet and phone communication has been suspended in various parts of the country and many protesters claim the u.s. helped destabilize their country to make it more dependent on down mohamed el baradei who is the next chief of the international atomic watchdog has been put forth to replace incoming president hosni mubarak even though egyptians wanted regime change they're not sure whether this candidate will serve in their best interests or are those of the u.s. party's policy or has been fighting. 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 into would 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. 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

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 have shown such courage in the face of such us backed terror that has occurred in egypt for the worse thirty years i'm not sure margaret elbereth i really stand as much of chance as senior analysts to 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 him he's lived in europe and 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 well we know about it but every. day lived in america we don't want him he was an all those strange things and telling us it was broad. day and 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 eighteen million egyptians he hopes to rule. 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 and washington has been financially supporting the country for years and is

heavily invested in its political agenda but when it comes to openly supporting the incumbent president or his 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 to funding resistance groups in egypt however somebody who's been out of egypt for years is somebody who promote a 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 said there's no chance the muslim brotherhood would know elections you know the difficulty for the united states is that mubarak is 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 pledging 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 is 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. well that was anthropology professor pyne explaining washington's position

on egyptian uprising and staying with a country where the bloody scenes witnessed have been dominating headlines across the world the death toll has now reached over three hundred and more than three thousand were injured the protest and the violence have become a media sensation but as r.t. as an associate you're going to has been finding out to some western countries choose to portray the events in a manner that suits their own political agenda. riots and outrage have the same face no matter where on the world map they take place. be it you were up 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 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 coverage 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 the court 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 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 at a police presence 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 benson 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 it was 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 systems this is under reporting of substance by the us 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 stopping people u.s. media has been portraying the 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 see been receiving far 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 determined by t v. well coming up kidnapped by the system a russian woman fights to free her daughters from swedish authorities have allegedly wished the girls away without warning our team vesta gates the case. and russia's marking the eightieth birthday of the man who took perestroika to its limits and introduce democracy following the collapse of the soviet union force yeltsin is remembered most for his sweeping reforms and free market aspirations but

for years after his death the legacy of the first president of russia still divides many organelle cross live show because finally go for more on the nations. by rita howes russia honoring its late president on his birthday. the arena there are plenty of commemorative events planned all across the country here in moscow at the never do it she seventy area where the first russian president is buried. people have been coming here and laying down flowers and rates in fact there has been a continuous stream in just the last couple of minutes as that as we watched as they would come in with plenty of flowers roses incarnations of course the main events are being held in the city because of the book which is the birthplace of boris yeltsin and there were plenty of events there of course the monuments and white marble monument was unveiled there just earlier on tuesday in the events were attended by russia's president who did it who has praised boris yeltsin for his for his work as

a russian president. but only. well the path of our first president was a very difficult one every single citizen of our country 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 you know we must admit that he was up to the tusk and stood his ground on really 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 of the youth. and the memorial center also in the real century named after boris yeltsin will also be opening a cut in blood and that will visit a kid it's his human rights and civil society of course plenty of other events are being held all across the country as we've said earlier a tennis tournament tennis being a horse sales his favorite sports will be held in his in book as well as

a rock concert later on tuesday all of it dedicated to the memory of the first one of russia's first president. i read of boris yeltsin was at the helm of the country at a very crucial time the transitional period from communism into democracy so how people evaluate his role as a leader. will as a matter of fact there is step indians are still divided even four years after his death but you have to remember that boris yeltsin took over at a very very trying time for russia many blame him for allowing the soviet union to to decide to just saw all although an equally large number of people believe that that was a good thing still a lot of people acknowledge the fact that he is the issue he is the man who has introduced basically started russian democracy which has carried on with the historic because a city that many very much needed economic reforms and of course his legacy remains very strong in that regard did

a lot of people still believe that he did not take the right that he allowed too much him into. from the united states into the country that he was not quite sufficient in fulfilling and carrying out the economic reforms bringing forcing a lot of people out of works and out of work and making suicide great but of course it's still in the four years after his after his death a lot it's the lead going majority of people are beginning to be war taken more benevolent if you all of russia's first president and a number of his critics actually dwindles as we are spats all barred from being a politician yeltsin was a family man and now four years on what's their abiding memory of him. well of course for a lot of those of those who are close to him the the loss of boris yeltsin this still very fresh and like oh they've got such a boycott actually spoke to those who were close to him. he

never doubted he would live to celebrate his country of birth date but instead he says we don't have to find a back 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 when you look at it she really liked family gatherings birthdays we usually celebrated with their daughters. 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 active noble to encourage and would hopes of a different life in a better country were still untainted by the harsh reality of the war in chechnya which hilton himself admitted was a mistake the banking crisis that would cripple the already impoverished population all of these could come later and as some argue would end fairly obscure all the good that yeltsin had done your blood sure than the any fuel are just better

perceived through the distance especially. history i think we still need more time for the emotions and troubles to give way to serious analysis would it take tannic figure really was. but because service he's had of protocol for more than eight hears and of all the else in the explosive character and unpredictable temperament often contravened the dry rules of diplomatic engagement but diminish sas he had never had a better boss there was. little water to 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 again he was overwhelmed by emotions he turned his head and saw the shift change that was the only one who's objecting dragging him away all the other people around him were applauding. he was there shooting to power by the great hopes of his people he left

office full of for grabs for not fulfilling all of them and it was only after yeltsin passed away that he country can start to design in his legacy in all its complexity yeltsin seventieth birthday were celebrated far fewer accolades but one day called later even those who criticized him very harshly and 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 and the nine hundred ninety s. so the work of art scene. and human rights activists are accusing swedish authorities of separating innocent families for monetary gains they say children are being put into foster care without evidence of any wrongdoing at home and in our reports swedish law does little to help the parents get their loved ones back. christmas gifts never given. so covetous of my children are in someone else's hands
