is what protesters are calling them in their planned march to the presidency sometime toughness where itself has a number of little roads that lead off it and in those roads the protesters are barricaded behind tall and thick steel bars they there have been reports of of firing the army has been firing warning shots the mobile clinics that have been set up there have doctors who are reporting that they are treating people with gunshot wounds earlier in the day they were molotov cocktails that were thrown into the crowd the prime minister did address the nation and he apologized for the violence he said he had ordered a probe but when you speak to people here they do not believe that the egyptian government has the mechanisms all the desire to carry out an independent investigation the attorney general has also ordered that all former ministers remain in the country he has also ordered that their bank accounts be frozen in a forty five minute address the vice president spoke on egyptian state television among the things he said he blamed for and as he blamed businesses he blamed
6:01 pm
opposition groups for this violence he spoke of conspiracy groups that were undermining the egyptian regime he also said that there needed to be some time for dialogue with opposition groups but we are hearing that the muslim brotherhood has rejected that dialogue until such time that hosni mubarak steps down the vice president also providing a roadmap for reforms he says he's also suspended the parliament's work until the contested result of that last election that will hold at the at the end of two thousand and ten revised he also named candidates who would stand in july so a lot happening here on the political front but on the streets people taking very little notice of it saying that all attention right now is for that departure friday the united nations secretary general has urged for the transition to happen now those were his words and those of the same call coming from the united states and five other european union countries those kind of sentiments. are treated in
6:02 pm
egypt particularly by the protesters with a lot of anger there urge the international community to stay out of egyptian affairs which is why when the russian foreign minister sergei lavrov spoke to russia today and outlined russia's position people here felt that russia was hitting it white on the mark i don't think outsiders. should really be pushing gypped one way or another i don't think any suggestions for a moment so i'm going to be helpful and are going to lead to a sustainable tourism notion of the situation i don't think that official line said if i'll to move terms in order. for the junction you to call for such political groups must themselves find their way was we've been told to remain indoors and they say it's essential fast to go outside and as a result i was unable to got to meet august missed it by him camille thank you very
6:03 pm
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 there is almost a concerted going go on being played. by the foreign media and part by the foreign government which foreign governments then or i just have to be very specific i was very disappointed that the president of the united states would call on us to move immediately and instantly to make changes as if we are the fifty fifth 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 that they are 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 am sure.
6:04 pm
thrasher as a country i understand egypt very well i told the trap of trying to sell to use it short i thought about extremism of a concern is that there are extremist elements at play organizing or perhaps behind the scenes in these demonstrations absolutely. and this is why i believe that the foreign media when the report on the incidents. square they are missing the point completely they are not understanding what these it is going through so once again what is their point i x three mr elements in egypt are. going to try to jump on any opportunity in order to describe the. situation in egypt the whole question of extremism is something that my colleague a lawyer image investigated from london eye egypt in turmoil young men
6:05 pm
out on the streets calling for the unity of the muslim nation 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 but 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 difficult it is with the legislation specifically so i think they'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 arm of his but terror it jumping on the bandwagon to promote their own islamic state in front of the different embassy in london there's a big mystery. in support and solidarity to the uprising in egypt and. the.
6:06 pm
demonstration wanted to do it. in front of the embassy but actually the organizers of the refused and they said this is. demands and it has nothing to do with it. and we are holding up the gyptian flag and you want to put this down because this is a legitimate 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. religion teligent creation from the one nine hundred twenty s. century to oppose modernity at least that's the basic thing that they did against nasser in the fifty's and sixty's there some of those factions in there may have no laws but still this is quite a leap quite a leap in the doctor the muslim brotherhood with the look into their background
6:07 pm
their essentially they pretend to be islamists but they're essentially a fabrication of the globalists. 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 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 influenced by his but terror in members while studying the government's policy on radical islamic organizations while they operate inside the law in the u.k. involves dialogue and debates groups like his but terry are allowed to demonstrate . they say plainly head cooling for an end to democracy and the instigation of
6:08 pm
syrian law but the violence in egypt has already spread to the u.k. in the fullness demonstrations here at the embassy and the question now being asked is whether the every voice with an opinion on egypt's future has the rights to be heard you were and. for more on egypt and what might happen if there is a regime change there we're joined live by phyllis bennis from the new internationalism project an independent group work that works to challenge u.s. policies in the middle east thank you for joining us ms bennis so the mubarak government has been one of the islamic regimes that's had a close relationship with the u.s. but washington has had to walk a fine line here and has since embrace the revolution what message do you think this sends to other u.s. allies in the region. well i think first of all we need to be very careful how we describe egypt and the regime of hosni mubarak it is not an islamic government this is not an islamic regime it's a country that is majority muslim although there is
6:09 pm
a a large and significant christian coptic community in egypt as well so we just we need to be a little bit careful because otherwise we slip into making a lot of generalizations that don't necessarily apply i think that what we're seeing here if it remains consistent in action with what we're hearing in the words of the administration it is a recognition that everything is changing in the middle east that the the rise of what we might say u.s. empire in the middle east in the period since the end of world war two is over and whatever happens in egypt now and we don't know for sure tomorrow in particular will be a very crucial day they are really walking on a tight rope but whatever happens whether mubarak finally leaves at the demand of his people he's now saying that he wants to leave i mean we are seeing a very significant shift in the discourse the realities on the ground are never going to be the same that doesn't mean that the u.s. influence is going to be to be ending it doesn't mean that u.s.
6:10 pm
military support is going to end but it does mean that the relationship of people and their governments the relationship of those governments and the u.s. government those are all going to be different and if as we are now seeing this. almost revolutionary rising that we saw very quickly in tunisia succeeded in getting rid of their dictator moving very very fast in egypt and beginning to take root in places like jordan yemen possibly other countries as well this is going to be a real democratic wave in a way that u.s. policy was never counting on so it's going to be a huge challenge i think the question for other allies of the u.s. if they read history right will be to say we cannot assume that the u.s. . we'll continue to support us no matter what we do. so far we have not seen actions from the obama administration to make real those pledges we have seen some
6:11 pm
very important shifts in language there's a big difference between for example secretary of state robert gates saying some months ago that military aid to egypt is sacrosanct that it will not change no matter what and he said that in in response to a question about the state department's own report about massive human rights violations in in egypt so he was saying no matter what the egyptian government does we will continue to back them now we're hearing that the aid itself is being discussed in washington with the possibility of cutting that aid very much on the table for the first time we're hearing president obama say directly that the change in egypt must be meaningful peaceful and now we're hearing from top u.s. officials very powerful forces both on the right wing and in the center calling for mubarak to step down immediately so there's a huge shift underway and i'm sorry i mean a lot of the have to move things along here so egypt had played an essential part
6:12 pm
in the years really palestinian conflict how do you think the regime change may affect developments in that arena. we've heard from a number of people that are in the leadership of this huge coalition that is carrying out the anti mubarak protests who have all said look we're not going to renee go on the camp david accords we don't want to go to war with israel we don't want to change that and of course we should note although they don't all talk about it the one and a half billion dollars of u.s. military aid is tied directly to the terms of that agreement if the agreement is abrogated they may not get that money what will change is the inclusion of egypt in israel's effort to isolate gaza i think we will see very quickly with any new government if it wants to maintain the credibility of its people and and to egyptian collaboration with israel in the siege of gaza what challenges do you think a new regime in egypt would bring to us and to europe do you think for example in terms of immigration to europe and control over the suez canal. egypt is not
6:13 pm
part of europe egypt should not be accountable to egypt and to europe in the political way the egyptian economy depends very highly on the fees they get for the suez canal there's no reason to think that shipping through the canal is likely to change i think that the fear is a lot based on the unknown we don't know exactly what kind of government is going to come to power in egypt we don't know what various political forces will be involved with it i hope that governments and oil companies and others around the world who are watching this from positions where of power in the current regime will stand back enough to say whatever government comes to power it's not our call we don't get to decide for the people of egypt we've heard those words from president obama and others we need to see the actions to back it up when he says that the people of egypt will pick their own government we have to be sure that this country my government does not have
6:14 pm
a good history in allowing democratic processes that they don't like to proceed look what they did in gaza and in the west bank where there were elections they didn't like who got elected so they punish the people by putting them under siege immediately for engaging in their democratic rights we have to ensure that it doesn't happen in egypt all right thank you we'll have to leave it there phyllis bennis from the new internationalism project thank you here in the us president medvedev has slammed investigators for earlier announcing that last week's moscow airport bombing in which thirty six people died was solved before a suspect had even been brought to court russian leader said it was unacceptable to claim success before the legal process was complete adding that the terrorists need to be hunted down ruthlessly quote so the earth burns under their feet or he's a catarina grouch of a house more. latest has been the federal security service says they know and also me the name of the pup the cradle of the attack at the airport but they also know
6:15 pm
the names of the must a mind soul be it's time we had a brush as main to master your d. agency that was b. today would also be nice to the president he also said that the agency's now doing that with being possible to arrest all those who they believe are links to the attack and to do it as soon as possible several people have been already arrested and there is a manhunt for a number of others as a result of this major attack of the country's largest outboards that they be easiest at transport thirty six people were killed among them six foreign citizens and as many as one hundred fifty people what changes in the way called the attack presently very promised those in charge would be prosecuted and if they resist they'll be illuminatus on the sports today behind opus b. also confirms that they have identified this you side both heard here is how the out of russia's main security agency described the man himself. i will just name the age of this person he is twenty years old he lived in one of the
6:16 pm
north caucasus republics according to our information from the joint one criminal group last oldest which was based in a mountainous area the evidence shows that the suicide bomber was under heavy drugs when certain of the explosion and it confirms how criminals prepare suicide bombers for these kind of crime situ which is the name of the base twenty year old man has not been disclosed as the station is still going up as we suspect that were relatives of the young man could have been linked to the attack also the president tells russia that they did today express has a certain level of optimism holding their will but he also urged both police and others be to be very cautious when releasing any information on this case to mass media as the case has not yet reached the courts and invest in britain best gauge that has been very harsh rhetoric following the attack from the president that we've witnessed a major was shaken russia's transport police. for the latest developments on that
6:17 pm
story and plenty more you can always check out our t. dot com there's also galleries and blogs. right. now to stay warm keeping the planet we'll find out about a new subject that's being added to school curriculums in russia. and what happens to music that is the language you take a look at where russian culture may no longer be. russia's newest passenger plane the sukhoi superjet one hundred has been given permission for commercial operation it probably bears the name of space pioneer yuri gagarin it is the first airliner designed since the soviet times piskun office more. the sukhoi superjet one hundred is the first civil aircraft produced in
6:18 pm
russia since the soviet times which means that it has to be built absolutely from scratch and is geared up with some of the most modern and advanced equipment it's a short range aircraft keep you off travelling not for then two or two and a half thousand miles and transporting up to one hundred people plane now has been officially certified it got its ticket into the skies this intergovernmental aviation committee includes all of the former soviet republics and according to the . civil aviation company which produces this plane the next step is to get a similar certificate from the european air space agency since it's a short range aircraft its first of all plans that will take the place off me off the sort of good and al did it planes truly used by many russian airlines for domestic flights but also many analysts say that this is quite an attractive segment of the market and superjet one hundred will be very in demand
6:19 pm
internationally as well since it was build from scratch it did take a little longer than planned initially its development took longer and december italy's alitalia announced that it was canceling its orders but at that moment there are around one hundred and seventy orders for this plane and the civil aviation company says it plans to build at least eleven of them by the end of this year and hopes to boost production to forty or even fifty planes by two thousand and thirteen and two thousand and fourteen. founder of the whistle blowing web site giuliana sondra still wanted in sweden on sex assault allegations and could be extradited there from britain there have been reports that the u.s. also wants to charge him on espionage or he spoke with a swedish based journalist alberto who says the prosecution is being driven by politics stay with us.
6:20 pm
you're. albert thanks for sitting down with us today here in stockholm in the work that i've had a chance to read of yours you seem to think the u.s. has a growing influence on sweden in bigger and bigger ways tell us more about that of course it's always had a big influence at least since the great wave of immigration of sweets states in the nineteenth century and then created a kind of
6:21 pm
a reservoir of goodwill interest in all things then underneath. all the time certain interests in sweden have been developing stronger and stronger ties with the right states and that was especially true of the military conservative elements of society helping out a number of also been conservative elements in the democratic party who've been very pro-u.s. very pro-military especially those. unions that are involved in the arms industry but a really major turning point was entry into the european union. and european union you probably noticed in terms of foreign policy and military intelligence. and the subordinate wings of the united states really nato was completing its full trade you know. so as soon as the social democrats announced that they were going
6:22 pm
to lead the country into the european union you started to see very clear signs that. sweden was adopting its foreign policy to the needs of nato the interests of the you would you know the states and so forth. how does this all play into julian assange just and this saxon spy programs and the push alternately for his extradition it's a hot potato as you can understand for the government here and now that they have been exposed through various wiki the leaks. as having you know. colluded with the united states the ways that they had never before admitted over it was often suspected. it's an especially delicate time for them to go out and openly cooperate with an extradition process and reinfeld as i understand the prime minister has apparently declared that this is not a political issue it will be handed completely through the judiciary and so on and
6:23 pm
so forth i think he is not entirely candid there. whatever happens as a result of the trial the united states will probably request that he be extradited for these crimes that they're trying to invent you know use in the united states and that would be a separate process and that's the process usually is first processed by the immigration department. and as i understand it then it can be appealed to a court of law and then the government can get involved it's stated right there and the legal procedure and do you think that he will be extradited to sweden. i can only tell you what. his stance is british lawyers have said to me about the british case in terms of the law they have a very strong case and if it were only. a question of the law then they figure that they have
6:24 pm
a seventy five to eighty percent chance of rejecting the swedish request for extradition to sweden then the question is how much how much politics you can play so they say carefully that they have a fifty fifty chance something like that. then if he comes to sweden. most of the legal people that i know here in sweden when they look at what is known so far about the charges against the sons think that the they are absurd that he won't be convicted on the available evidence so if he is convicted of something here it will most likely be something very minor like then he will be either in jail for a while or released. having suffered enough so to say and then it will be up to the u.s. to issue its request for extradition. and then i feel that will be largely a question of public opinion if they're indifferent and if the media here
6:25 pm
succeed in their apparent efforts to give. a bad name to give them a bad reputation then the government will have a lot of political freedom to. submit to the u.s. request sweden is regarded as a neutral and independent country do you agree with that you can say. with certain. accuracy the way sweden join the e.u. it's nice to be an independent nation. so it's that simple of course politicians in order to justify the the entry you are just the opposite but i've documented the ways so there goes the membership in the e.u. has affected. sweden's independence and essentially eradicated or. else we didn't is not an official member of nato but there are anti nato movements that are growing here in sweden in finland why is that well there's always actually there's
6:26 pm
always been in sweden and finland of which are the two remaining nordic countries that are not in nato there's been a strong opinion against nato membership but essentially now through part of the so-called partnership for peace sweden has become a de facto member. made through official said sweden is better equipped and performs better. in cooperation with us through. partnership for peace than many of our formal members do and that's true. and already you're one thousand five hundred believe it was an official of the defense ministry here. we are already so deeply involved in nato and participate in so many nato activities that the only thing that's missing to become a former member is the signature on a paper. and
6:27 pm
6:28 pm
us here on our t.v. zero headline gyptian president hosni mubarak says he's fed up with being in power but will leave office for fear of chaos a state that many say is country is already in huge crowds remain in the streets and violent clashes continue. meanwhile in britain we investigate the links between radical groups and the opposition in egypt as protests in the u.k. are used by an islamic organization and in many other countries to promote its own cause. and president medvedev welcomes progress into the moscow airport investigation but slams officials earlier and earlier announced that the case was solved. the vietnam war has never strayed from america's national consciousness our
6:29 pm
special report coming up next. the sciri was that they were bombing only steel and concrete that it was was a surgical war that they were. you know maintaining bad terry instead when i got over there i found out that church hospital hours is entire villages were being wiped out people just discovered the united states was fighting an entirely different kind of war than it claimed and it was violating all of the international laws of war. for nearly ten years the us crave more than one thousand million gallons of agent orange which contains the lethal chemical dioxin on vietnam cambodia laos and thailand.
