the splined in touch with. the future a good girl i would. never dream he told. us in egypt is gathering momentum as hundreds of thousands of people going to church on its capital cairo the latest attempt to force president mubarak to step down. history is in the making that's the rallying call on each of the join the one near in a few moments from will. also western media is under criticism for double standards in its coverage of the riots in egypt that's compared to similar events in other countries. a day of tribute to one of russia's most controversial leaders. in the first city of his birth the country remembers the late former president boris yeltsin more details just ahead.

five pm here in the russian capital this is our team now first we go to egypt where a million strong rallies expected to take place today in the country's capital of these one hundred thousand have already gathered on main square in the latest attempt to force president mubarak to step down also for three hundred people have reportedly been killed and over three thousand injured since the protests began over a week ago paullus leader has been covering the events for us. passions here on the streets of cairo are running high and the mood is one of celebration as thousands upon thousands of people descend on telfair square they represent the cross spectrum of egyptian society their children out here they've been foisted upon the pair the shoulders they're old people there are young people there are religious people there holding banners that say things like hey hey me leave goodbye and

mubarak they're there they're showing posters depicting him as a cartoon character now the earlier intention was for the protesters to make their way to the presidential palace and as a result the whole route has been and it continues to be lined with army with soldiers with tanks with trucks it does at this stage. that the protesters will make their way there because there's simply no unifying voice no one to really organize them and bring them together as a cohesive force but having said that there are no reports of violence as of yet there are demonstrations being held at cities throughout the country and to we've had no reports of violence there are small groups of pro mubarak demonstrators are on the streets but they're receiving no attention and as you can well imagine the voices are drowned out by the thousands upon thousands who are there calling for mubarak to leave well most people here when you ask them about mohamed el baradei

actually don't know who years he's very much a figure his reputation on the international stage but here in egypt people say that he has the backing of the united states and western powers in particular and this does not present him in a particularly good light because they say he's been painted with the same brush that paints mubarak having said that though the opposition parties need somebody to bring them together and they've chosen him and he's done a fair deal so far trying to bring everyone on board he has appealed to the muslim brotherhood they have given him their backing but they have stressed that it's only temporary now the opposition groups have put together a list of demands and on those demands say they are dressed in. such as unemployment etc why is in food prices such as the disarray on the streets we've not yet clear when they will in fact be able to present their demands to know about if in fact they will be able to do so but certainly for now the opposition voices gaining momentum here in egypt. by time in kind of dark

empty and scary. we gather every day like it. we who like to to do the first shift and so would like to do the second and so on some people or. 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 unfold 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 egyptians feel safer. belated attempt at getting in on this opposition movement maybe 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 of war two different lines as the people of egypt are shown such courage in the face of such u.s. backed terror that has occurred in egypt for the worse thirty years i'm not sure my will bear and i really stand as much of chance as senior analysts are saying washington has yet to officially declare its 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 el baradei egyptians don't like him he has 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.

but i very. day lived in america we don't want him he was. the strange things in telling us he was abroad. we didn't choose to die 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 will. and the egyptians need national leaders not american populous with american agenda as if people support el baradei it's only because they hate barak. which is why amidst the chaos he gyptian find themselves turning to each other for protection and reassurance. now we're just hearing word that the jordanian king abdullah has fired his government and appointed a new prime minister now this follows demonstrations in jordan over the past few days no doubt as word of that filters down to demonstrators here on the streets of

cairo and other egyptian cities it will through all their excitement and only add to the momentum we witnessing today where protesters certainly want to believe that this is it but that does not seem to be the message coming from the egyptian president he has done nothing to meet their demands other than reshuffling his cabinet appointing three new figures but essentially keeping most of the ministers in the same positions mubarak did say that he wanted to talk to the opposition party she said it through his vice president but the opposition parties now say that the time for dialogue is over they do not want to talk to him and nothing short of him stepping down will be satisfactory so what it does seem likely that is going to continue moving forward from here is that we'll see more of these demonstrations more of these upheavals something has to give but for now it's not clear that today will be the day although demonstrators here certainly hope it will be. some experts are comparing events in egypt to the so-called color revolutions

that triggered regime change in several former soviet countries or blogger have you back off from cannabis how the west might benefit from toppling hosni mubarak. i think their real agenda is to move back and put in someone they can control like el baradei and the and the protestations of support for mubarak are are basically window dressing is no question in my mind that this uprising has been orchestrated by. what i call globalists this is another color revolution and that the people of egypt while their grievances are justified their being. their grievances are being exploited in order for the globalists to ratchet up their control of the gypped 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 that was blogger had reback zero share his views on an international agenda and egypt's uprising. and staying with egypt where mass protests and violence continued to dominate world headlines artie's and associates schork and i examined how some western media she supports trace such events in a matter that suits their own political agenda. riots and outrage have the same no matter where on the world map they take place. or the middle east if you're 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 the 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 doing doing 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 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 systems this 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 reach too close to home. meanwhile as the streets of egypt erupted in chaos and not 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 less attention has been drawn to u.s. support of this leadership united states stark's players 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 world 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 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 our current world events can have on america and that's the truth and i t v. there's always more news views and blogs on our website that's our team dot com and here's some of what's waiting for you right now the u.s. and the e.u. have imposed a raft of new sanctions on bella roofs over december's post-election violence they say the bass will only be lifted when everyone detained on political grounds is

released plus. find out why russian and american scientists are keeping a close eye on one whales mysterious migratory mission. over russia is commemorating the man who presided over the fall of the soviet union and the country's turbulent transition to democracy today would have been a boris yeltsin's eightieth birthday remembered for his sweeping reforms his legacy four years after his death still has many russians divided. if you have got reports . there's a variety of events all across the country being held to mark the eightieth anniversary since wars since birth here are in the center of moscow the nor do it you cemetery people have been coming since the morning hours laying down flowers wreaths his family was here among a lot of visitors they flew in actually from from you couldn't go to the hometown of the late former president where the main commemorative events were held as

special marbled long human two was unveiled there today and the events of the current events were attended by russian president dmitry medvedev who said that the legacy of boris yeltsin is hard to underestimate. 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 even though we must admit that he was up to the tosk and stood his ground on really what a modern but not perfect country we live in today was created fanks of boris yeltsin and everyone who helped him to build the foundations of a new nation of also when you consider work in the moral center on the ring the late former president will be open that will be dedicated to civil society and

human rights something which a lot of people in russia connect boris yeltsin with a lot of people say that he took over at the very hard time for russia the country this over this so the soviet union was dissolving at that point and a lot of things were falling apart literally and the verbal the end if it was really a hard task for any leader and boris yeltsin tried to discuss a lot of people say that he took over and for a. hit the t. took over and. put further implications and to further extensions to put his story that he essentially started democracy in russia at the same time a lot of people say that they cannot make reforms that she conducted or allowed to be conducted were not for were not done properly and a lot of people seem to just suffer from them so i give it the say is so again even four years after his death a lot of people cannot agree cannot come to one conclusion also what for sales and

remains for russia but michael the good sort of like a spoke to some people who were close to him and she shares their views in this report. he never doubted he would live to celebrate his country of birth date but instead he's widow has to find a bacteria's while opening an exhibition time to what have been his eightieth jubilee in nearly. for years since boris yeltsin's down the agony of loss has given way to quiet remember and. he really liked family gatherings birthdays we usually celebrated with our 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 act of novelty and courage and what 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 that would cripple the already impoverished population

of the east would come later and some argue would end fairly obscure all the good that yeltsin had done. anything largest better perceived from 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 really was. but has served as 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 the mayor says he had never had a better boss. never thwarted a single event and he was never that 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 a motions 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 his people he left office full of regrets for not fulfilling all of them and it was only after yeltsin passed away that he country can start to examine his legacy in all its complexity. birth there were cellar. greater threat far fewer accolades but one decade later even those who criticized him very harshly are growing a bit more gracious investment of his character and 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 tests in the wake of r.t. moscow so as controversial a figure as boris yeltsin really being she is still not likely to be forgotten by russians for a very long time all coming up artie's al good of interviews the widow of russia's first credits president they may yeltsin i share details of all some of the

difficult decisions her husband had to make during his time in office. was a time when there were russian cards and money there was nothing at all in stores and more importantly there was nothing left to stop them up when he became president in one thousand nine hundred ninety one but what did he have to do. was sit and wait for rights to begin. i remember very well when president mitterrand came with a visit in one nine hundred ninety one and then chancellor later. they both sides of the same saying no actually mitterrand said that in one thousand nine hundred five when he came to russia to attend the v. day celebrations. he was already very ill at the time we had a long conversation and he said you know i came here because of your husband. i think mr president did everything possible to save people. not only in

russia but also in europe and the whole world he said in the u.s.s.r. was not repaying any loans so mitterrand sad can you imagine what it would have been if salman broke out in such a multinational country as yours it would have been much worse than yugoslavia. they were afraid there would be war no they were sure of that and we are a nuclear power and by containing all that and mr mitt romney's words boris yeltsin not only saved russia but also europe and the world. that. you can watch al gore knows full interview with a in a yeltsin i in just ten minutes time here on r.t. . and about twenty anti-government demonstrators were arrested on monday when they tried to hold an authorized rally in central moscow police said protesters were
