picking up sand and literally using whatever they can get their hands on to throw at the other side the army is there but they're doing nothing soldiers are standing on the tanks observing what is happening all of this happening in front of the cairo museum which houses priceless antiquities so a lot of concern over whether or not that museum will be broken into again at the same time we have heard gunshots and as i'm talking to you i can hear two military helicopters circling above toughly square is just a short distance behind me it's on the other side of the river and then off it is that protesters will spread further because a short time ago they made their way slightly out of tahrir square into the streets surrounding the area they injured the fear the aggression and the anger this really is a tipping point in these protests and in these demonstrations and many are saying that the egyptian president will not have a reason to say you need me look at me i am needed for stability this certainly is a pro-government move the eyes ation as well if the new moves are to be believed

but we do understand is that on the clothing of some of those pro government supporters would police id people have been asking the question where has been the police the last few days and if indeed these ideas are correct it seems a police are preparing cells for today's violence we also know that a lot of these provost's point is off sides or we've been told that they face are also being told and we have been told since the early hours of the smalling that people have been coming to the streets because they've been paid paid to go out to the streets and show their support to mubarak what is significant about these demonstrations is that until now this has been a lead in this protest there has been a lot of talk about the fact that the various opposition groups have come together but not under one banner now mahmoud all baradei is the name that has been put forward the firmly head of the international atomic energy agency and he has said that in his he is prepared to have an interim government but i ask people here on the streets what they think of him seemingly even openly is most. people who do not

like him now he has come on board and he has criticized today's demonstrations he says that president mubarak is using scare tactics against the people where they can say is that whether he doesn't say that what is true is that there is to say and among the opposition groups we're hearing that some groups are saying yes it's me to the president now we hear other groups like al baradei himself and the muslim brotherhood saying no they're not going to meet with mubarak until he steps down either way the voice on the street is that they do not want al baradei they do believe that he is of the same cloth as mubarak people saying that they really want to be they have to decide for themselves who is their leader not imposed from the outside because they do believe that both groups and all baradei are being supported by the united states and that the u.s. is meddling in internal egyptian affairs because a message was put out by the russian foreign minister sergei lavrov he has called on the world community to allow interruptions to decide for themselves should we want to see there's a stable thriving democratic state the current social political and economic

problems to be resolved as soon as possible through peaceful means but it's up to gyptian politicians and the people to decide how this could be john practice we don't think it's helpful dream page solutions from outside even ultimatums egyptian political forces need to find a consensus which there's been no reaction so far from president mubarak but no doubt whatever he has to say well only install the anger on the streets of cairo. for more on the situation in egypt i'm joined by author and radio host stephen well stephen now if at this point the situation is still up in the air events are still unfolding a lot of observations now from your point of view who is actually behind the political change in egypt and who will benefit the most. oh he question and i think you always want to ask key bono who benefits from this. there's no question i've written twelve articles on what's going on in the middle east so not

just in egypt tunisia algeria jordan lebanon palestine that was something he was going to you know he has of course is the epicenter is the lynchpin country you have assumed period of policy in the region i have seen this trick before this feeling all right i just get a new article so we're all getting some more oh wait you know i actually have another one i am still one more coming out of the region tomorrow focusing pretty much on egypt and this will be another what can i just read you have opening lines from the grand wonderful final by the way just ask him about what's next well i think washington is behind it and i do see him with a line in the sultan's him is used as a couple. and it really relates to what's going on in egypt right now and the line was so beautiful like the line was famous cells and there's they see this they seem

to skim milk masquerades the screen. there's no question this is st anger is very real there's no question judgeships vast majority of them want. and they want real change and there's practically no question in my mind that washington has had a longstanding player to remove him he's old he's aging he's damaged goods but what they haven't seen before and that's what. the samples and. what people in other countries want to change but they didn't quite get what they planned for oh and i'll call you we're also talking about egyptian security forces who are fighting for and they are on. well i think you know he. or she knew this. because they get maybe a. billion dollars here they need the money very. very

closely tied to the. security forces the police on the one hand and other security forces i think they had times clash with the heavy the very definitely has. the fact that the army has been very quiet yesterday. the police tells me pretty much supporting what's going on on the streets being watching this agenda to remove i think it goes deeper than that i think all but i think barak has already been told you're going and that's it. will give you time you can you believe gracefully you can say a reasonable amount of. will go along with that but you know and i think he will go i think the regime will go with you know what i think the plan is to replace him

with friendly faces that will continue policies and people of egypt will be cheesy and this is a while and people of egypt i think the savvy americans seen this happen to know the. stand. and they may react and they may have come along with it so this laid plans laden or she may possibly. and i'm doing a lot of writing this because i want to encourage. all right well you sort of gave us the future of egypt and all that but just very briefly so mubarak is out that's what you're saying and i think it's very i tell you it will be today. because the luxury sure that he says. all right well thank you very much for your insight that's author and radio host steve eleven thank you so much for joining us

thank you. well bore analysis here on r t we're covering this issue throughout the day so what's behind the uprising and what lies ahead for egypt these are explored in the latest edition of crossfire and that's coming up in our program in about twenty minutes time. the future of the mubarak regime is not so much being decided on the streets of egypt but mainly. there are certainly hard talks going on behind the scenes between egypt and indeed the americans and what is staggering is that we haven't heard from the obama administration a clear and unequivocal demand for mubarak to step down to be a laugh i could just interject right here i mean you can lay this at the doorstep of the u.s. but you know at the end of the day the only world leader who's been unequivocal about this is prime minister air the one of turkey the european leaders the american leaders even the latin american leaders. south asian leaders all have been

all of been silent so i think it's a bit misleading to lay this on the doorstep of the american here but i mean i don't really understand the reasoning or the removal of these again. he was a client of the united states and that's probably the difference here. unfriendly that's how moscow has described decision to expel a russian diplomat dublin claim stolen identities of six irish citizens were used by russian agents uncovered last year in the u.s. are. reports from moscow the russian foreign ministry has called always decision to deport its diplomats and arms through moves which will have serious consequences these are these are the only comments would work for moscow also for after dublin

accused the russian intelligence service of still. real existing irish identities you know forged passports to cover up. in the united states say that this is a result of an investigation which started right. between moscow and washington the . people who were arrested in the united states and found guilty of being an agent all of them were deep rooted and it was largely covered by international media that . turned up successful businesswoman who is quickly deemed the russian james. it's not. being. well you're watching are still ahead for you this hour one woman's. daughter.

from her part. of the u.s. media has gone wild over and found in the arizona desert lights contests lissa details of past terror attacks carried out by suicide bombers and militants the publication made some american news channels future attacks on the u.s. by iran but there are still those who think the threat is an exaggeration. a book found in the arizona desert has put america's most watched cable news channel on the high alert fox news alert i new terror fears the book was reportedly published in iran and contained information on suicide bombers that much was enough to trigger sensational suggestions that iranians could be plotting something inside the us they would not give us a picture of the book they would not say it was 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 a. newscaster ever got negative publicity from around. a industry in the united states that whenever you have something negative that you want to say about the middle east. you can always attack iran every chance is taken to pasi ran into a story that has no connection with amateur like this to such bombings in moscow to help us in places like iran get more russian cooperation with 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 bass the mounds of material at their disposal to troops 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 is being 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 city like apache waiting to get spanked smashed 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 landstuhl war that was started on why the same people that want to cause 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 links to al qaeda was whipped up to justify the invasion reasons later proven to be false the question is could the same approach be used with the ran a bit of news about a suspicious iranian book in the middle of nowhere is nothing but is 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 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 get a check on r.t.e. in washington d.c. . there is always more news blogs and feature stories on our website r.t.e.
