cocktails thrown there have been people lifting road signs out of the road or to use the poles to fight one another there are people that have formed almost some kind of system where one carries buckets of stones and then moves back and reinforces the next that violence showing no sign of abating ambulances are there they've been ferrying the injured forwards and backwards there are makeshift clinics operating there as well a lot of fear a lot of anger a lot of frustration there have been scenes of people also praying very square which is the size of about one it's very mild there was a moment yesterday before these two groups went into violent confrontation when. down and prayed between them and it seemed as if the situation could be different when all of a sudden seemingly out of nowhere men arrived on horseback and on the camels and started whipping the crowd and we now understand that they are workers from the nearby music permits who were frustrated and angry that tourists have been kept away having said all of that a few moments ago the curfew was lifted and i needed to walk through the streets of

cairo not far from tahrir square to get to this live position i had to pass through quite a lot of military checkpoints but having said that the military itself is not inside toughness square there on the perimeter on the periphery and as i walked here i must have passed at least a half a dozen cars with foreign citizens holding up their passports scared and frantically making their way to the airport as international countries they citizens to get out what is certainly becoming clear is that this is president hosni mubarak's mobilization there are no doubts that these poor mubarak supporters are receiving support from the government there are fears they will receive reinforcements and that that violence will only intensify as the day carries on questions as to who can move forward well mubarak certainly is not giving up without a fight despite the rallying call of these protesters for him to step down immediately mohamed el baradei is a figure that has been supported and is being supported by the west but he seemed.

as really an american populace and as a person who will follow the will of the international community much more than help follow the will of egyptians so there is the hope that the military might still intervene as i mentioned they standing on the perimeter but they would be the force that would be able to actually do something but the fact that they're standing there and doing nothing and not putting any push on mubarak to stop the standoff is sending out a message of a warning message that bought a silence they almost seem to support him there is the question of course being asked about what this means for islam this we have heard reading cause not only here in egypt but certainly around the world as my colleague. found us i egypt in turmoil young men out on the streets calling for the unity of the muslim nation by sugaree and all but this isn't karo it's london where young men are also out on the streets calling for an islamic state this is his but taria an

organization linked to terrorist activities throughout the world it's banned in russia and in some arab countries including egypt but in the u.k. it's allowed to operate freely in britain it's very hard in the current legislation to ban his book to hear the government when they're out of power said they were going to i think once they're in power they've seen how to with the legislation specifically so i think i'll carry on monitoring the groups but won't do anything to prescribe them the trouble in egypt prompted this london demonstration with the british army that has put terror it jumping on the bandwagon to promote their own islamic state in front of the dipshit embassy in london there's a big demonstration in support and solidarity to the uprising in egypt and. the. demonstration wanted to join demonstration in front of the embassy but actually the organizers the refused and they said this is.

demands. to do with it. and you want to put this down because. according to. the influence runs both ways the muslim brotherhood egypt's main opposition and a notable inciter of the current demonstrations is according to some a creation of british intelligence you might get the muslim brotherhood. to oppose more during the basic thing that they did in the fifty's and sixty's there some of those factions in there may have known but still this is quite a leap. there the muslim brotherhood with the look into their background they're essential if they pretend to be islamists but they're essentially a fabrication of the globalists the. outside muslim countries has but enjoys its strongest support here in the u.k. it's organized on university campuses including luton which was attended by the

stockholm bomber and although the organization claims it doesn't advocate violence the links are there to see she bomber richard reid influenced by his but terror preaches to british suicide bombers who attacked a bar in tel aviv in two thousand and three had contacts. who tried to detonate car bombs in london and glasgow in two thousand and seven influence by his but taryn members while studying the government's policy on radical islamic organizations while they operate inside the law in the u.k. involves dialogue and debate groups like his but terrorists are allowed to demonstrate so plainly here calling for an end to democracy and the instigation of syria law but the violence in egypt has already spread to the u.k. in the form of demonstrations here at the embassy and the question now being asked is whether every voice with an opinion on egypt's future has the right to be heard

your and. international political consultant. that's particularly afraid of an islamic takeover in egypt. 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 islamist 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 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 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. and as the u.s. government struggles to decide on who to support aged professor side 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 in 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. almost with a man but on the other hand they told 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 chips in people know that these countries do not want them to be free he not only because do they want the americans and europeans want to remain in power and have their head to meet in these 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 defray the regime so the united states and the europeans will wish very much to prevent the people of the region from empowerment which is ninety going to live from moscow and coming up in just a few moments a ticket to take off. russia's first mass produced passenger jets in soviet times gets ready to soar into a high flying market plus. artes close of business the town that produces the world's most popular weapons and reveals the secrets behind a famous kalashnikovs. that coming to you later in the program before that the whistle blowing web side of wiki leaks has been nominated for a nobel peace prize and the controversial news comes as its founder julian assange finds himself and yet another scandal this time with a new york times the paper made a fortune off the back of the u.s.

diplomatic cables leaked to it by a song but as are found out his gratitude only go so far. it was a love story in the making i don't blame the new york times for running the story i know mattick are strongly in with classified u.s. documents and american newspaper with the power to print that in june of last year i got a fairly mysterious phone call from the editor in chief of the guardian newspaper in london asking if we were interested in partaking in a vast trove of secret u.s. documents the new york times and julian a songe developed a relationship all other u.s. mainstream media outlets envied boycie leaks wiki leaks wiki leaks wiki leaks wiki leaks wiki leaks the new york times first introduced readers to the popular whistleblower website in june publishing classified u.s. war logs posted on wiki leaks in the midst of declining readership and a shrinking budget a songe was a blessing for the times. the paper has printed two hundred stories on

a songe more than five hundred on wiki leaks articles detailing shocking field reports of u.s. operations in afghanistan chaos and illegal activity behind the iraq war and embarrassing diplomatic tactics used by the us state department but like many passionate romances he told us he wouldn't sleep in one place more than one night if he had to the gray lady has kicked the blonde out of bed and is now selling juicy details of a six month affair for just under six bucks initial impressions of doing a song you know send up some red flags new york times employees describe a songe as a source not a partner or collaborator a man who acted like a fugitive conspiratorial and contemptuous of the u.s. government it seems to me opportunists to take the information deal with the guy to use the information and then to say well he's more of

a villain or man on the loose or on the run when in fact they're using his information and trying to disparage as character at the same time the timing may not be a coincidence the u.s. justice department is conducting a criminal investigation into wiki leaks reportedly looking into the espionage act to prosecute a songe government official say publishing secret documents from the pentagon and state department created a national security risk controversy or wiki leaks founder this whole wiki leaks flat wiki leaks scandal but even mainstream media echoing the government's criticism talk much less about lindsay britney and charlie sheen when wiki leaks whacks the world with a new load of secret surrounding government corruption they do put a different guy a songe in an interview with sixty minutes says it's about giving people information they need if you are a whistleblower and you have material that is important we will accept and we will

. and we will publish it you can't turn away material simply because it comes from not states yet ironically our first amendment powerhouse within the united states is turning its back on a man utilizing free speech to garner government accountability and transparency they have a vested interest in new york times in making julian or songe out to be something that the public cannot rely on because once the rest of us begin going to wiki leaks to get our information and we begin by passing the new york times then the new york times loses more and more business and eventually it disappears in this case the new york times has gone from writing about the story to making itself a part of the story and now it's up to readers and viewers to decide if the newspaper in this narrative is a protagonist and hero or just a slimy heartthrob that seduced a source reap the rewards and then. marina for

backed by the government the super jet one hundred is the first mass produced several aircraft launched by russia since soviet times with around one hundred seats it's aimed at the booming regional plane market taking orders for the last five years the makers sukhoi promised to get the super jet carrying passengers by two thousand and eight the tension problems have caused delays and many airlines to decision to wait and see as for now they have are all one hundred seventy one us bottom atoll to gain profit they need at least. five hundred five five hundred six hundred told us so it's walk to be done now that the super jets will exist as more than just as show exhibits so coy after opening the floodgates will open. the brazilian and the canadian. of considerable head but they're more expensive the chinese royal has been built with commercially for

several years. window of opportunity is by no means shot. proves that they can manufacture the planes the russian market is a given since none of the other similar planes have been certified. internationally the demand grows so large they will definitely get their shot. for the super just to be receiving worldwide certification spread its wings and into the high flying foreign markets. and alice take a look at some other stories from around the world and a powerful storm consider this trail years the worst in a century has left entire towns devastated while there have not been reports of casualties thousands have been left homeless emergency services were working from daybreak to clear the road to reach cut off communities the storm is reported to

have caused huge damage to crops and even further financial trouble for queensland following the floods there. the u.s. senate has rejected the republican attempt to repeal president obama's health care plan passed almost a year ago the reforms why the medical insurance coverage to the poor and those with existing illnesses and would include thirty million who had before the measures have been attacked by the republicans and the riotous socialist a number of judges have ruled out the compulsory nature of medical insurance was meeting the reforms fate could be decided by the supreme court. and now our close of team takes to the central russia to explore the mother lot of famous kalashnikov assault rifle a television ask. if you ask is the capital of the republic located in the western area formally an

engineering town and a close city during soviet times it's been a place where all kind of metal work was done especially the manufacture of machinery and weaponry it's also where my hell kalashnikov designed its fame to make a assault rifle but it's not the only invention that the city's famous for. now discovered . some call it the ultimate firearm they changed the world the famed kalashnikov assault rifle it was developed soon after the end of the world war two but because of an engineer at the weapons factory. of the market it was greeted with the experience of war in mines with consideration for all the requirements for a firearm which were in place to run the war to do our customers demand new call that is from the assault rifle they want a combination of a sniper and a short barreled weapon a rifle that will have high accuracy it be easy to carry and use. all that we do

and how that legendary weapon works in theory let's find out how it is in practice and what a better place to do that other than sitting range. the a k forty seven has a few moving parts so it doesn't jam resistant to cold heats rain and snow it can lie buried in sand for years and still be ready to use if you just clean it up a bit in the central russian republic of as in the rest of the country members of the special operations units of the ministry of internal affairs rely almost exclusively on kalashnikovs and not just because they're made in the capital the fifth many of them use the a k in anti terror operations in chechnya but. when you're in combat it's very important that iraq will be easy to use and careful especially in the caucasus which i'd say it's the best weapon there is and deserves very high praise. but there just isn't just the city that produces the world's most popular weapon it's also

a stronghold of defense manufacturing and innovative technologies. is the leading producer of on manned aerial vehicles in russia because they're hard to spot easy to use and can fly over places where humans cannot or should not set food russia's ministries of defense and emergencies and anti-terrorist center are some of the most prominent customers i think you need i mean when you live next door to mr you know you have. to make it big so we try to make it big our company started here because the main engine is main thinking from centuries old weapon making traditions to the latest cutting edge technology when it comes to national security truly lives up to its reputation as russia's fortress of defense manufacturing he didn't. like the public order to. well raise us up to date here on our to remember their is our website our t.

dot com for more but right now though we're turning to the world of business with carried in just a few moments. zob . hello and welcome to business here in moscow thanks for joining me russia's largest lenders burbank is planning to buy investment from troika dialog according to that of us to news paper the state bank will initially acquire an eighty percent stake in the company for around one billion dollars the remaining shares are to be bought within the next three years south africa standard bank which bought thirty three percent after work in two thousand and nine will be the first to sell its share of plan a rose after burbank's and itself the task of free of creating

a full fledged investment business. the second day of the russia forum is underway in moscow and this year it's attracted a record number of business leaders investors and officials from oh from all over the world now artie's correspondent joins us now live from that and. hello again dmitri so what is today's discussions was focused on the privatization plan that will see key states russian companies sold investors to investors how is this ambitious project going. well it is of course a very important part of russia's ambition to attract investment because. russia's finance minister yesterday was saying that in order for russia to maintain a sustainable rate of growth for more than even four percent a year and russian research at seven to ten percent investment. per year while we have the figures that the privatization program plays a large part in this and the finance minister said yesterday for example the.

second largest banks not ten percent will be privatized but twenty percent and today we've heard a categorical ridge the president's economic advisor actually backed this initiative to have privatization going at a faster larger scale. was to surplus and. i completely agree we have to be more aggressive in tribal ties in states companies i also. with the idea that should be fully almost fully try the chinese if it plans to buy other banks in addition i believe that the states shane spare bank should also be reduced to under fifty percent and not just fifty percent plus one share. in the gift cards talk more about what to expect from the state's privatization program we're joined by boris jordan from renascence insurance the president of the race and service or thank you so much for your time with us so do you agree with this approach that privatization to go to larger scale yes absolutely i mean that. the more the

government sells down stakes in russian companies the more competition will be between russian companies and the state will therefore have much less influence and competition in business so it's our view that it solves two issues the one is competitiveness and number two is raising the much needed money for the russian government to further growing its investment programs and i want to be asked is that you think most attractive that will be put up for grabs i think most of the large companies russia's going to be privatizing are very attractive we're talking about spare bank we're talking about the tb in terms of the banking sector we're talking about ross and after the terms of the oil and gas sector some little or large russian companies are one well run and two are very attractive for investment right russian companies seem to have this trend to place syria's not only in moscow but also broad do you think that's the right approach i think most international governments of the size of russia that have large assets have to police shares internationally a large company like ross neff which is not in the top ten or oil producing

countries in the world has to be traded not only in russia but also london new york and hong kong so i think it so that so the right strategy plus russia's economy doesn't have the enough resources today to handle privatizations of ten to twenty billion dollars so they have to diversify and take these issues abroad all right well we've heard the organizer of this of this forum have been better than you on the present of the truck and i will say that it's not right too. to have russian companies place their shares abroad if we want to have moscow as a global financial sense of you agree i think what will force what will i agree but i think what will really miss russia financial center is resolving the issue of rule of law that's the biggest issue concerning global investors today once we resolve the issue of rule on russia we will and protection of shareholder rights most of these issues will investor will flood into the country so i think that that's the main issue it's not where we placed the shares today the other problem was they were going on the saying is that we just don't have enough long term money

in the domestic economy to handle issues of this size i said earlier so i agree with them that it would be nice to have the larger issues placed in russia but the fact is they need the international more than just one place the size of this all right boris jordan thank you so much for joining us here at the troika dialog investment forum i was present over night since i'm sure i was talking to us here back to you kareena and thank you dmitry and your guests and i'll be getting back to you on what's going on at the forum in the course of the day. now let's have a look at what's happening in the markets asian shares were mixed on thursday after a sluggish leaves from wall street's japan's nikkei finished a quarter of a percent lower trading with some dude as most regional markets are closed for the lunar new year holidays investors are also cautious after the torn wine egypt took center stage again here in russia the r.t.s. is gaining over half a percent this hour while them isaacson's up point four percent energy shares are high on rising home prices look oil is gaining over half
