demonstrators who were injured in today's clashes now earlier in the day there were small fires there was one moment of concern when one of those fires broke out right next to be cairo museum the police were nowhere to be seen but the army which was there to douse those flames they managed to completely get the fires under control but aside from that the army did not get involved at all earlier the defense ministry did issue a statement urging protestors told in nine days of clashes at some three hundred more than a thousand people injured in total now questions are being asked as to who exactly those pro mubarak supporters were and the suggestions being put forward that mubarak himself sent into the street they were i.d.'s found on some of these people those ideas of police i.d.'s suggesting that they do belong to the security forces they were also allegations of a paid some of these people they said they were thugs many of them out there on the streets just causing chaos and mayhem certainly now has

a case to say that he is needed this is what some are suggesting as to why he might have orchestrated these clashes this is certainly a turning point there has and there is now being seen support for him on the streets of the mobilizing his government to react and fight back to these demonstrators certainly the u.s. has been watching the events unfold here in egypt very closely in the end the they've noticed that the ground really is shifting below them the policy of the u.s. president barack obama has not been that clear i mean when the protests began nine days ago he was very he was very careful not to align himself too closely with the protesters but now in the last few days insert in the last few hours we've seen him calling on the egyptian president hosni mubarak to to implement free and fair elections and to step down as soon as possible one of the the significant points of today's demonstrations and the clashes is that it is now clear that the opposition certainly needs a unified voice it needs a political. force to represent them has been able to demonstrate spontaneously up

until now but so if they want to go forward with any kind of substantial impact they will need to be united we've heard differing voices come from the opposition forces we've heard some of them say that yes they should talk to mubarak now we've had other players like mohamed el baradei and the muslim brotherhood saying no mubarak to step down first and only then will they engage with him in dialogue so while mohamed el baradei is being presented as a figure that can possibly take the opposition move forward he's a figure that isn't not light here in cairo and he's certainly not a figure that is representative of all the opposition play is by and large if there is one thing that people agree on is the fact that people really should make the decision for themselves egypt and should decide who their future leadership is regardless of who the united states and the international community supports and that is a sentiment that was echoed by the russian foreign minister sergei lavrov which we don't think it's helpful jeanne find solutions for him on signs even ultimatums egyptian political forces need to find a consensus which will one of the questions that people are asking themselves

following these clashes today wednesday is what can and will the military do if there is no clear indication in terms of how they should control crowds the that might be one of the questions people are asking that certainly one of the contours and people are reaching as at the possibility for more violence is on the horizon the focus now is turning to find it some people calling it the final friday. as the triangle for power intensifies in egypt the country's neighbors are looking on anxiously international political consultant. says it's rojas particular reason to pay close attention to history unfolds next door. israel has a lot of fears on its mind it's not just a general fear it's a very particular things you know israel's afraid of an islamic takeover of egypt israel's afraid of destabilization spreading to the palestinian areas and israel's afraid of a leader who might not be a full partner in dealing with iran and that's something that 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 destabilization 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. as the u.s. government struggles to decide on who to support an egypt professor mohammad marandi says america has only one goal in the region to prevent the arab and muslim world from getting stronger. they're not on the side of the people and the people recognize that they're playing a double game they're on the one hand very much on the side of the establishment on

the side of. a mouse with a man but on the other hand they tell the egypt and people that they they hear their voices and they wish and pray for their freedom but we all know that the ruling establishment cannot last without american support and the gyptian people know that these countries do not want them to be free not only because do they want the americans and europeans want to remain in power and have their head to many activities countries but they also know that an independent egypt an independent jordan and an independent arabia meaning so to arabia is something that would be detrimental to the israeli regime so the united states emir kins will wish very much to prevent the people of the region from empowerment. and foreign policy analyst have great circus and not he had the danish institute for international

studies says the european union is playing catch up have been taken by complete surprise over events in egypt. the european union clearly was taken by surprise by the events in egypt and for that matter those in tunisia before that it has always had very close ties with with most of the governments in the region so it would be only natural if the e.u. to come much more proactive. once the uprisings on the streets actually calmed down you can also argue that the policy in terms of the tools available is actually pretty much as good as it gets it has all the right incentives and even the right penalties the problem has been the european member states have been willing to really use these tools and have in

a way bought into the standard arab alibi whereby stability is bad and democracy you know without still ahead for you this were born out of that and in some way the children were taken away from that parish that story and we have a. new start treaty between america and russia has finally been signed by us president barack obama after passing all hurdles across the atlantic in moscow cutting nuclear weapons by around a third the historic agreement will come into force when but size exchange signed documents this weekend out he is confident of her thirty. we saw the u.s. president signing this incredible treaty in the oval office he was joined by a whole host of members of his administration and this of course pushes the treaty one more step towards final completion and 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 to force and it's one that we've been waiting for for quite some time now 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 unrest in egypt so while there have been some stumbling blocks the does look like the stork agreement has finally been pushed through and we await the exchange of the documents this weekend for it to fully come into force moscow has condemned the decision to send her a russian diplomat advice to respond dublin ledgers russian intelligence great to fake passports with the identities of six on her citizens by the spy ring unmasked in the u.s. last summer. reports now from moscow. the russian foreign ministry has called iowa's decision to deport its diplomats an unfriendly move which will have serious consequences these are these are the only comments with heard from moscow also for after double accused the russian intelligence service of stealing real existing

a version of the collapse of the usa of the u.s. aside declared independence which resulted in several years of armed conflict a truce was signed in one thousand nine hundred ninety four russia france and the uighurs have been retaken dogs. and caught up with foreign ministers from both sides of the conflict under the moment we'll hear from the only be inside. according to russian programs a poor peace is better than

a good war but is it always the case to discuss the plan now joined by arminius foreign minister has been actively involved in his country's efforts to settle and aboard the car bock dispute with neighboring azerbaijan a frozen conflict that dates back to the early one nine hundred ninety s. that claimed thousands of lives. i said last night thank you for your time minister do you agree that poor peace is better than a good war. surely i agree with it is that anyone who does not agree with it patched up peace is better than any war it's obvious because you can't solve any issues through all of those who think that it's possible to solve conflicts through military operations or use of force it is a big illusion hands off the whole walls it's necessary to return to the negotiation table but negotiation conditions of what will be much worse would the best is to pick a horrifying cautions can go on for a very long time but if they really deliver results and some analysts say that

you're just playing for time out all the time it's all. over here and. firstly i think that the time is not on either side of the conflict to soon as we settle the conflict it will be for the benefit of all sides regarding the talks process i do not quite agree with the view that the sides positions have never been closer back in two thousand and one we were close to the conflict settlements during talks in paris through the mediation in front of the queue of force of the guide that then president of azerbaijan rejected the agreements reached in paris the so-called paris principles that the president of the conflict of the early one nine hundred ninety s. claimed thousands of lives but even if after a ceasefire was reached in ninety four the death toll continued to rise last year we heard about several azerbaijani soldiers killed in border clashes what's going on a global. who was led to her version of what's important is that the ceasefire sign

hundred ninety ninety four has practically been maintained up to the present day certain incidents you've mentioned to actually take place to avoid them there were suggestions from the international community the o.s.c. a the cochairman of the minutes group supported by armenia on undertaking measures to consolidate the cease fire and pull out the snipers from. the line of contacts and an offer to reach agreement on the nonuse of force unfortunately as a vision refuses to implement those proposals of the international community and regarding what you're saying that a few azerbaijani soldiers were killed in the last year incidents it's not so it's all in june of last year the meeting between the presidents of armenia and azerbaijan took place in st petersburg and immediately on the night after the meeting the as visionaries carried out a provocation at the contact line five armenians soldiers were killed the person who killed those armenians was awarded the title of national hero a street in school were named in his honor and a film about him was ordered later an agreement was reached to exchange the dead

bodies and the so-called prisoners of war the body of that man was given to the as a big party it was not the first time that has been johnny authorities try to give a religious angle to such an event including through the organization of the islamic conference that. it will bring to mention the organization of islamic conference for a few years ago adopted the resolution qualifying the actions of armenia in the gore knickerbocker as occupation of force thereby johnny territory and i know that the several other international organizations passed similar resolutions would it be right to say that as their budgets position is stronger than that of for many in terms of international law and international support. i must say that you are mistaken if all the organizations involved in the settlement of the new goal no karabakh issue are international organizations as well as intermediary countries the ms group co-chairs including russia the us and france have the mandate of the international community all those countries institutions and organizations all of

them issued statements there are in line with all media says asian. yes yes the guidance and what status would armenia like to see an accord maker bot has part of his chair tree or as a separate sovereign state act tests of authority out of new. i mean it is supporting the elements and principles proposed by the misc group as a basis for negotiations and for reaching the settlement of one of those elements just related to your question is that the people of not going to care and that should decide with whom and how they want to live in other words to be the master of their own life. and then the move forward as the president does leave over their bridge on sat on many occasions that his country may use force to reclaim what it considers to be part of its own territory by what do you think about it. you know actually it's dangerous when someone declares and does it daily that one's ready old getting ready to use force evidently they have forgotten how it began the

conflict started when they used force against no go no carry back started a large scale military action what's more they hired mercenaries with close links to international terrorist organizations you see what it's led to they must have forgotten what has led to evidently human memory is short. but then in the google and finally you are a career diplomat and for more than two decades you focused on the middle east peace process and some analysts like to compare i mean east sands to that of israel saying that armenia also likes to exaggerate the demographic aspect of the conflict and to play down the historic sensitivities of the other side do you see any parallels. because the conflict in every conflict has its own purity arity its own groups and its own dynamics and its own progress it has its own negotiation formats therefore comparing or drawing parallels is not entirely correct but still there

may be something typical to all the conflicts but i don't think we should directly associate one conflict with another that implodes. we use special fish an accessory clip meant. they are ready for a replay. taken off one. became the gravity. as it should and those people were hurt in the previous life. and was so many in a free flight well when one deals with war for us to realize that this tremendous

amounts of damage that have done not just human damage but damage the physical environment in which the battlefield takes place tremendous amounts of damage done by aerial bombs by napalm boy chemicals that whether it's a sonic boom say factory in mammals or it's the burning oil fields here in iraq or straw. in the pacific for landing purposes the list just goes on and on the geneva conventions of nineteen forty nine states that there shall be taken in war to protect one by against widespread long term and severe damage the united states although it is accepted almost all of the provisions political one has taken exception to that.
