thank you it's from least on that television station calling on protesters to end this demonstration now that is a turn from what we heard from the army earlier earlier they said that they would not get involved there is also a warning on egyptian state television about its owners who apparently are handing out documents that are anti mubarak when nobody here really believes that but it's looking sends out a strong signal that the mubarak camp is gearing up and is fighting back and i can tell you as a foreigner working here i was going up and down the streets of kabul for the last few days and today was the first day that i was stopped and if we only checkpoint and asked to show some kind of i.d. now the pro mubarak supporters that are out there on the streets all according to demonstrations being paid but when you speak to these part of mubarak voices they say that the country should reform about some kind of dignity to stay in office until september but the country at least those who know that the demonstrators say that it is long past time for them to actually give him the kind timeframe asking

for it is an insult to the international community has been weighing in the latest the russian foreign minister sergei lavrov who has called on the world community to allow injections to decide for themselves. which we want to see there's a stable thriving democratic states rely on the current social political and economic problems to be resolved as soon as possible through peaceful means is that it's up to gyptian politicians and the people to decide how this could be john tractors we don't think it's helpful to encourage solutions renowned scientists given ultimatums egyptian political forces need to find a consensus a loop which we've heard from the american president barack obama and urgency for mubarak to step down to listen to the will of the people a bomb a saying that in the thirty minute tell of a telephone conversation with him urged the egyptian president to call for free and fair elections as soon as possible but at the same time what is the truth of what he's saying is what they're interpreted as american support for the hammer at all baradei not. he has been told to. turn it over to head an interim government for me

to teach options yet they say that that is still the hand of america into fear and they do not believe that there is much difference between the policies that mohamed el baradei will introduce to the country and that was the who introduced a lot of anger among protestors were not asked him how they feel about al baradei he is not also a figure that is well known here he is much better known on the international scene where he is the former head of the international atomic energy agency where in two thousand and five he shared the nobel peace prize with that agency but all baradei for himself at least for now saying that he wishes to head this interim government and that he's managed to bring together all of the opposition voices here in egypt but really what we're hearing from the streets of egypt is what we've heard from the russian foreign minister people here saying us decide for ourselves and the united states and other countries keep your hands out oh brazilian journalist pepe escobar says the u.s. pressure mubarak is hypocritical after its thirty years of blind support it's

very very complicated for us because it's a tightrope walk this guy after all has been brought up by the u.s. for thirty years the police state that he set up and tortured virtually everybody that stayed in egypt it was progressive all the wisest people were exiled this was also supported by the u.s. so when hillary clinton says that's me being out encouraging mubarak to the reforms this is absolute nonsense they started doing this probably two days ago not thirty years ago and british journalist yvonne ridley told r.t. that egyptian people will no longer let the us pick the leaders for them. the egyptian people are very very suspicious of anybody who has been endorsed supported or aided by america and you can't blame them they also have made it quite clear that they do not want any more meddling from the u.s.

and america has. one point three billion dollars of aid every year the ordinary egyptian people don't see one cent of doubt so they're not bothered if america does withdraw this fund because they certainly do not benefit from it i really hope that the western powers don't underestimate the egyptian people yet again you know very intelligent very politically aware. they will choose the people who they want and if america doesn't like it well it's going to be. well what's behind this uprising and what lies ahead for egypt is the topic in the latest edition of crosstalk that's coming your way in about twenty minutes time . the muslim brotherhood yes it's the best organized opposition but it's not the majority no majority are very it's not the most organized group i would contest

that it's there are many many divisions within the muslim brotherhood and it's not a monolithic bloc as you would like to present it if the entire international community would treats the middle east with condescending eyes including china including other countries no one wants to see the middle east democratic they are all afraid. as sweden's child welfare system has been accused by human rights activists of profiting from family misery they claim social services are taking children from one set of parents and then giving them to another who receives up to six thousand dollars in financial support per child abuse and now explains. christmas gifts never given. so covets my children are in someone else's hands.

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 twins merrill's matia and. yet a mother's worst nightmare their children taken from where they're supposed to be most safe and not by kidnappers or child abusers but by the swedish government that are used to when girls were taken out of their music lessons at this school without any warning and for an entire week she had no idea where her daughters were until she received documents from social services full of what she says are false statements about the family's life the complaints filed against natalia claim she and the girls are psychologically troubled and could be enough to send her daughters into foster care for good under swedish law without sufficient proof that it is considered legal because of the law is a protection law it's

a protection for the children. so it means that even if there is a flight thus to risk even if there is no evidence sort of there is there is no witnesses there is nothing but there is. a risk of something happening sort of. then the law the social workers within the law are able. to take the child into. sort of their to the social office and take take them away from the family attorney has been advised by human rights activists that this is only part of a much bigger welfare system and her case is that you have been where social services have paid ten thousand swedish. that's about five hundred new words thirty one. archie was unable to get a comment on

a time his case from swedish social services who cited a privacy policy i knew about all this deal they don't don't list the own children but money apartments property and children are human goods to them with course we just language skills a lawyer appointed by social services and little money and a tidy has been told the chances of getting her back are slim and that they are most likely now with a swedish family antonia should be protected by international laws and conventions but loopholes in the swedish system a lot cases like this to go unnoticed. consensus country. people are more. prone. to speak up. against the consensus so it's very quiet in this way and. the consensus is that the state is always right and reservoir jacob sumburgh is

persona non grata here in sweden for his outspoken views on the system he says social services can take children away using their own criteria and working together with doctors psychologists and lawyers all wrapped up in a big business say you have six foster children well you make a fortune there not only how you can do is wait for a hearing on her case which is so far been postponed several times during our senior most of their birthdays coming up with well my children be one the only demands to christmas and we miss turning thirteen this week at home with their mother who sweden has just tried it is at least for now not going to be their mom and he's now a r t. oh you're watching r t n still ahead for you this hour we'll hear how george clamp down on everything russia has now accepted what the two nations have shared the centuries that's good news that. well the russian foreign ministry has called

international media that's why in the name on that shop one turned up a successful young business woman the russian businesswoman who was quickly deemed the russian james bond girl back that it was announced that some of the members of that group had. it's not known whether the diplomat being deported now from ireland was directly connected to this alleged forgery neither do we know his name or when he's to be out of the country. well there's always more news blogs and feature stories on our website and that's our dot com and here's what's all my for you right now then on t.v. exclusive we talked to the widow of the first production president boris yeltsin. shares her memories about her husband and his legacy. and find out what top supermodel naomi campbell chatted about with russia's prime minister and what confession she managed to squeeze out.

a book published in iran describing suicide bombing was found in an american desert it's marked a media frenzy with channels going so far as to say the publication was a warning of an upcoming attack or a republic but the peddling fear and vilifying iran is a common occurrence in the u.s. as reports. a book found in the arizona desert has put america's most watched cable news channel on the high alert fox news alert time new terror fears the book was reportedly published in iraq and contained information on suicide bombers that much was enough to trigger sensational suggestions that iranians could be plotting something inside the u.s. they would not give us a picture of the book they would not be able to personalized in any way or you know

what trackers may have found basically no facts behind the story but that didn't stop the channel from making a big scary deal of it story although they reportedly point out at the end it could mean something and it could also mean nothing the international community is worried about iran but the american media go way beyond that seeking to make the country the wall boogie man the biggest threat on earth no politician ever lost by a. new newscaster every got negative publicity from. it is the industry you're needed states whenever you have something negative that you want to say about the middle east. you can always attack iran every chance is taken to toss the rain into a stories that has no connection with metairie like this suicide bombings in moscow going to help us in places like iran get more russian cooperation with al qaeda in afghanistan things like that are they going to wise up and help us

a little bit the pick and choose style of reporting which shapes the american usage and it became all the more obvious in the wake of the week he leaks release of u.s. secret diplomatic cables despite having vast amounts of material at their disposal to choose from the new york times chose to go biggest on e ran with a four page article alone focusing on the country but the demonize they should have iran is not new in the us media has been going on for years despite no proof tehran was building nuclear bombs. are out to kill us i feel that this is the most dangerous country in. do you think the world understands how evil this regime is a nuclear iran can pass on nuclear military capabilities to terrorist organizations and why is america sitting there like apache waiting to get spanked smacked killed what is it a whole city is going to get hit with a nuke some american news outlets have been major cheerleaders in fear mongering which back in two thousand and three legged stool war that was started on why the

same people that want regime change in iraq are now saying we need to do regime change in iran fear mongering can have major consequences creating a climate of scratch which could justify any action in the name of providing safety for the american people that's what happened in iraq where a friendly about long range weapons of mass destruction and. whipped up to justify the invasion reasons later proven to be false the question is could the same approach be used with a rant a bit of news about a suspicious iranian book in the middle of nowhere is nothing but as the news reporter pointed out in isolation this is just a piece of information we don't maybe know months from now maybe a year from now you'll hey remember that young poor yeah that's how i look at news very often it's cumulative as far as the viewers are concerned fear is also a cumulative gotta check on our team in washington d.c.
