up and throwing at one another we know that some people have been breaking road signs and 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 the square is just a short distance behind me it's on the other side of the river and there are fears 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 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 movement as ation as well if the rumors are to be believed but we do understand is that on the clothing of some of those pro government supporters were police people have been asking the question where have been the police the last three days and if indeed these ideas are correct it seems the police are preparing themselves for today's violence we also know that a lot of these probiotics supporters sides or we've been told that their flags 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 leader 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 mohamed el baradei is the name that has been put forward the former head of the international atomic energy agency and he has said that his he is prepared to head an interim government but on. people here on the

streets what they think of him assuming they even know who he is most people here do not like him now he's come on board and he has criticized today's demonstrations he says that president mubarak is using scare tactics against the people whether he says 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 let's need to the president now we hear other groups like al baradei himself in the muslim brotherhood saying no they're not prepared to meet with mubarak until he steps down either way the voice on the street is that they do not want all baradei they do believe that he is of the same cloth as mubarak people saying that they really want to be left to decide for themselves who is their leader not imposed from the outside because they do believe that both mubarak and al 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. we want to see there's a stable thriving democratic state we want 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 done in practice we don't think it's helpful to encourage 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. although if sell and live an international political consultant based in tel aviv says this will have to be concerned over what's happening in egypt. israel has a lot of fears on its mind it's not just a general fear it's a very particular thing as you know israel is afraid of an islamist takeover of egypt israel's afraid of destabilization spreading to the palestinian areas and israel's afraid of the leader who might not be a full partner in dealing with iran and that's something you have to keep in mind these are obviously the biggest things on israel's mind that's always going to come

first again israelis very basically feel like they don't have too many friends in the region obviously and are very much afraid of the civilization there's been a sense for a long time that mubarak is pretty much the only thing holding egypt in place as a peace partner so israelis are clearly very nervous they kept pretty quiet in the beginning but you saw early on that there is not a great deal of trust that a change in government in egypt will be good for israel there was already you know a politician who was saying that egypt is not ready for democracy necessarily it took our prime minister a long time to make any statement in support of democratic change in egypt and that's really that really comes from a place of fear. of what's behind the uprising and what lies ahead for egypt they saw fit to explode in the latest edition of cross talk coming up in just a few hours from now. 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 more than a bill if i could just interject 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 erdogan 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 want to see the reasoning or the removal what is again. he was a client of the united states and that's probably the difference here.

ok it's the news that just in our new russia u.s. nuclear were down packed approved all your levels in moscow been signed by the u.s. president the document also known as the start treaty will see both sides cut. by a third let's get more details now from our capital lucio what's obama's signature mean for the treaty. well it is a significant development and one that we've been waiting for for quite some time president obama as you reported just moments ago signed this historic agreement in the oval office and this of course pushes the treaty one more step towards final completion now the next step that we're expecting is for u.s. secretary of state hillary clinton to meet with her russian counterpart foreign minister sergey lavrov at the sidelines of the munich security council this week conference this weekend the date that we're hearing is february fifth where the two sides are set to exchange the so-called documents of ratification the actual signed

documents which will officially bring this agreement into force and it's one that we've been waiting for for quite some time now well lou see there have been some quite major stumbling blocks between moscow and washington during the work on the streets the final agreement made all those differences have been overcome. you know i think the major differences have been overcome and i would actually say that the bigger stumbling blocks that we've seen for this historic agreement have been right here in washington we saw force a minority but yet a vocal minority of republican lawmakers opposing this treaty which is part of the reason that we've had such a long delay in getting this document ratified. arizona republican senator jon kyl one of the vocal critics of this treaty even earlier this week raised criticism of the of the agreement saying that the united states did not have enough time to look over this document but it really is a minority opinion as the consensus here in washington is that this is

a critical step towards improving international security something that both sides have worked so hard to achieve for so long and at a time when we see so much global insecurity starting with the rest that we've been reporting on here in egypt it is a positive significant development and one more step towards a nuclear free world and a safer world at a time when positive news is unfortunately home to hard to come by going to see many things about how to use d.c. council of reporting from washington d.c. also the signing of the start treaty many thanks. for watching good to have you with us and still ahead this hour on a woman's plight when band that she believes were taken from her as part of a welfare care scam report coming up in a few minutes. unfriendly that's how moscow has described ireland's decision to expel a russian diplomat dublin claims so the identities of six i knew were citizens were

a piece of information we don't maybe know months from now maybe a year from now you'll hey remember that poor you know the internets 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 our t. washington d.c. . when i next hour we look back at a u.s. led war that turned into one of the last century's greatest tragedies all special poor vietnam american holocaust is coming your way next hour but here's a taste. the more people we killed the happier our officers were it got to be like a game to see you get killed and people. different ways you could be. brought back some years you know where. they would get the most. women. around the circle over the. great white
