brandon period truly told us to push coromandel you can go with her toe measure to see don't it to go. brother said the colonel was her turn to retreat. unrest in egypt has been gathering momentum with a record number of people conferred on its capital cairo. hundreds of thousands of protesters marched on the streets of egypt involved to stay there until president mubarak steps down on point to sneer join me in a few moments for more. a day of tribute to one of russia's most controversial leaders it's only eightieth anniversary of his birth the country remembers the late former president boris yeltsin more details just ahead. and i was expelling a russian diplomat over spying related accusations. dublin is accusing the russian secret service of stealing the real irish identity to cover up its secret

operations believe that it's st find out more a leader in the program. a very warm welcome see this is live from moscow with me alice has first to egypt where second rallies are underway in the country's top the list a quarter of a million people have gathered in the center of cairo when the latest attempt to force president mubarak to step down so fall three hundred people have reportedly been killed and over three thousand injured since protests began over a week ago paulus lee has been following events for us. the latest word we are hearing from egypt and state television is that the vice president almost plans to meet with the demonstrators throughout the day tuesday the state television was all casting pictures of the quiet streets of cairo egyptian state television and has

been running pictures throughout the day of empty downtown cairo streets now these are in stark contrast to the pictures you've seen here on our t.v. and other international channels hundreds of thousands of people turned out into here in square in cairo in cairo demonstrators arriving in other cities alexandria sewers and numerous smaller villages and towns throughout the country organizers had hoped for one million difficult to say whether or not they reached their figure but no doubt the army kept to its word not to get involved only reports we're hearing from the army are that they did a wrist guards and. the police though were busy on the streets they stopped many hundreds of thousands of protesters from reaching their destinations you know their people were blocked and kept on bridges people prevented from actually reaching their final destination spend a few hours at a downtown today talking to protesters and as soon as you mention the name. people

start shouting they start yelling they do not like him firstly they do not know him he is a man who formulated his reputation on the international stage so he's not they're well known here but certainly those people who do know him believe to quote him that he's an agent of the united states now the mood on the streets is very erratic you go from forming and people cheering and laughing to them sunny's being suspicious that you're israeli or their true american and people are very happy to find out that we were in fact russian but that just gives you an indication of how the mood here changes from one minute to the next i'll baradei is perhaps the right man for the job but their job is an interim job and serving the opposition parties have said as much needs to be elections there needs to be free and fair elections without baradei saying he's prepared to hear. interim government until such time. by time in kind of dark empty and scary we we gather every day like.

we say who like to to do the first shift and to would like to do the second and so on some people or. mohamed 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 them for 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 often pushes a little to make each options feel safer. belated attempt at getting in on this opposition movement maybe to ladies 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 model baradar 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 in the american media has built up. egyptians don't like him he's lived in europe in 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. but our very. day lived in america we don't want him he was carrier and other

strange things and telling us he was a bird. and we didn't choose our own dr which wasn't only for a short period of change it'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 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. but the latest word from the opposition campus that they have given more barak and told friday to meet his demands they are saying that they are prepared to meet with his vice president omar suleiman but they will they will not meet with mubarak directly to discuss their concerns for mubarak himself we're hearing that a state of the nation televised address is in the pipeline but when this will

happen and what exactly he will say remains to be seen many people here hoping that he will at least announced that he does not plan to stand in the next elections. or while they is internationally eyes a suitable candidate for the u.s. there are still those who think he isn't courting the support of the west or british journalist yvonne ridley believes that his recent talks with u.s. officials have done little to clarify his possession. what is interesting after that meeting with the u.s. ambassador the u.s. state department put out an all to call in all americans to get out of egypt so i'm not sure how well that meeting with the u.s. ambassador went i don't think barrett i actually sees themselves as leadership material he probably sees themselves as a bridge to the egyptian people form the government

a unity government that they want and he's prepared to broker back to you but i really hope that the western powers don't underestimate the egyptian people yet again and what we're seeing in egypt today we will see i predict right across the arab world and staying with egypt now where mass protests and violence continue to dominate world headlines r.t. is alice it chicken or examines how some western media choose to betray such 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. 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 a little 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 in 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 a plea 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 when it 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 system because this 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 erupt in chaos propping people u.s. media has been portraying the events as a 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 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 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 you turn to accede to your. russia is commemorating the man he presided over the fall of the soviet union and the country's turbulent transition to democracy today would have been bought itself and eightieth birthday remembered for his sweeping reforms his legacy four years

after his death still has many russians divided i mean they're going to discover reporters. course there's a variety of events all across the country being held to mark the eightieth anniversary since wars since birth here are more in the center of moscow than our do with your sim terry 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 could soon board the hometown of delayed former president where i mean commemorative events were hilde. special marble monuments was unveiled there today and said the events of the current events were attended by a russian president with a different who said that the legacy of boris yeltsin is hard to underestimate. 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 we must admit that he was up to the tosk 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 bowl so when you consider would a memorial center on the ring the leeds former president will be opened and that will be dedicated to civil society and human rights something which a lot of people in russia connect to boris yeltsin with a lot of people say that he'll took over at the very hard time for russia the country the soviet union was dissolving at that point and a lot of things were falling apart literally and the verb really and it's the 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. put further implications and the 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 which he conducted or allowed to be conducted were not done properly and a lot of people seemed to 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 seals and remains for russia for michael to get 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 hundredth birthday but instead he's 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 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 when he had the backing of almost the entire country when voicing your political position was still an act of novelty and courage and had hopes of a different life in a better country were still untainted by the harsh reality the war in chechnya which he also himself admitted was a mistake the banking crisis that would cripple the already impoverished population all of these 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 figure really was. but diminished chunk of 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 the mayor says he had never had a better boss. he never thwarted a single event and he was never a lace 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 that shift it was the only one who's objecting dragging him away all the other people around him were applauding. he was a sure thing 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's country can start to examine his legacy in all its complexity yeltsin seven corporate there were celebrate with far fewer accolades but one difficult later even those who criticized him very harshly. i'm trying to be gracious investment of character polly says because even they have come to realize that with

all his ups and downs yeltsin was the very epitome of the ninety nine tests going away to artsy moscow so as controversial a figure as boris yeltsin he is still not likely to be forgotten by russians for a very long time well sort of a political analyst from russia's commerce sunday newspaper says while a controversial figure but a salesman did build a foundation for the country's progression several years after his death. president gives of course the first president off independent russia remains a very controversial figure and he's led a legacy is really a hot potato issue which is dividing the russian probably some like communists and the nationalists would never forgive him of the demise of the soviet union or the great problem how how he how they call it ah this definitely would applaud him saying that he was the person who crushed communism and who brought the wind of

change and democracy to russia he had some was a controversial figure he was on the one hand a democrat but at the same time. rah rah no ronald the point. that today even nine hundred ninety three he didn't hesitate to use. to show a problem and in the constitutional crisis they were also. to morris this is also part of he had some legacy. that's why of course this is the he's there which is more of the blood mo one can deny that but at the same time you does it equally prove that we've managed to undergo those tests and we are as a strong point. well there's always more news and views blog from our website of course dot com here's just some of what's waiting for you right now on the line the u.s. and e.u. have imposed a wrong new sanctions on salaries over december as opposed to election violence
