the situation to calm down i can tell you though that in the last few hours there has been an increase in tension particularly targeting journalists and targeting foreign for foreign people in this country we're on board costing to you from the doors have all been closed the signage has all been taken off we've been told to remain indoors and lace it's essential fast to go outside and as a result i was unable to got to meet our guest mr abraham coming thank you very much for coming into the studio you have said that the mainstream media is missing the mainstream point of view what is this point of view including viewers if i may just comment on what you have said of course cairo is passing through a period of curfew that the minority the ministry in the square do not repeat in egypt or the egyptians so what is that so what is that mainstream point of view diminished. in point of view the for

a change but the. change the president. to complete his. presidency which ends in september of this here september october of this year. i can say is that president mubarak has been forthcoming in accepting certain changes. the proposal for certain changes in the egyptian constitution he has already appointed a vice president which is very well known for his integrity and for his capable. capabilities or. do you think just to move ahead do you think that they have effect do you think there is political interference from abroad absolutely. it is it's

things it's things are not much the. there is almost a concert going go on being played by the foreign media and part of. the foreign government which foreign governments just to be very specific i was very disappointed that the president of the united states would call us to move immediately and instantly to make changes as if we are the fifty first state of the united states we are not and we will not be what about europe's role in everything that's happening at the moment i hate to say the following the footsteps of the united states and i am very very thankful for the statement that was made by mr glover of your foreign minister. i don't know what president medvedev said to our president but i'm sure the thrasher as

a country understand egypt very well and they were not in the trap of trying to sell egypt short the whole question of extremism is something that my colleague a lawyer image investigated from london i egypt in turmoil young men out on the streets calling for the unity of the muslim nation moved by shari'a law 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 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 has what the head of the government when they're out of power said they were going to i think once they're in power they've seen how difficult it is with the legislature. specifically so i think i'll carry on monitoring the groups but won't

do anything to prescribe the trouble in egypt prompted this london demonstration with the british arm of his but terror it jumping on the bandwagon to promote their own islamic state in front of the embassy and london was a big demonstration in support. to the uprising in egypt and. the. demonstration wanted to do it. in front of the embassy but actually they. refused and they said this is. demands and it has nothing to do with it. and you want to put this down because this is according to understanding of islam the influence runs both ways the muslim brotherhood egypt's main opposition and a notable incisive of the current demonstrations is according to some a creation of british intelligence you might get the muslim brotherhood.

to oppose modernity at least that's the basic thing they did and fifty's and sixty's there some of those factions may have mellowed but still this is quite a leap. of the muslim brotherhood with the look into their background their essential if they pretend to be islamists but they're essentially a fabrication of the global. outside muslim countries has put terror 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 for all to see she bomber richard reid influenced by his book 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 influenced by his but terrorism 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 terry are allowed to demonstrate so you can leave 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 advocates r.t. . europe's major powers have followed the u.s. in calling for an immediate political transition in egypt however russia's foreign minister sergey lavrov told r.t. that foreign intervention is not necessary to help resolve the crisis in egypt. i don't think the old siders. should really be pushing one way or

another i don't think any suggestions from old so i'm going to be hopeful and they're going to lead to a sustainable resolution of the situation i don't think artificial deadlines of the ball to move. you know there are. strong. political forces political groups. themselves find their way oh. well you can watch the full version of the interview with russia's foreign minister said to get off it off in our spotlight program this today. now there's a similar wave of protests in there by yemen pro and anti-government demonstrators have been holding protests in the capital of sanaa well thousands of opposition pools are holding a day of rage demanding the resignation of the country's president alley ballet

post some significant growth in some cases we saw the banking sector grow during the last nine months of last year maybe by about twenty percent annualized to expect something similar this year and any growth of that kind clearly needs to be managed prudently to prevent another buildup of us equality risk james watson managing director fitch ratings thank you so much for talking to a business out. for him that's all we have time for back to you. and the u.n. food and agricultural organization says food prices reached a historic high last month the rising cost of the stables was among the triggers behind the protests in egypt tunisia and elsewhere but he would hendry c.e.o. of elect electric asset management says the wall has not yet seen prices peak i can coach is the one sector in the world which was on call related to the banking sector to the madness of credit to modernise of the us economy. and it's not having its turn. some dispute that we're seeing all time high prices were no we haven't
