instruments as they're appalled happens the treaty is officially in force after forty five days the two nations will exchange the for information on their strategic pursuing these in sixty days they will resume check ups of their nuclear weapons collections if you wish and the very important thing about this is the treaty was first ratified by both sides then signed by the two presidents and the left in its original version of the text was not changed. but it was shows which should i would like to underline that the start treaty meets the national interests of both the russian and american people it favors nuclear nonproliferation and disarmament. system because. many have already called this boards turning into action and talking about the we set off relations between russia and the united states which actually started three years ago in geneva when

the american delegation met with the russian go again and the americans presented the russian foreign minister this reset button and it was quite humorous situation there since the american side. and the instead of the words reset written on this body of the word overall mordred in russian of course was written instead and hillary clinton remembered about this incident let's listen to what she had to say. two years ago we all laughed about the translation ceremony and reset that i think to the foreign minister if you believe that when it came to translation that matter most are two countries where presidents words actually reach the highest level. this was truly a story prevent the atmosphere was really. at the time of this exchange and just to

remind you this treaty is set to reduce the number of strategic arms on both sides way over one third which is a significant step forward both in terms of the relations between moscow and washington and for global security as well so aside from the historic start one of their issues are on the table at this conference. well there's a great variety of issues with heard many speeches and statements made by some of the most well known a whole lot of cool figures of the wall like the statement from the second un secretary-general ban ki moon the prime minister of great britain the u.s. state secretary and of course russia's foreign minister sergey lavrov as well he focused on the need to move forward on a russia's proposal to develop a legal document which would ensure the security of all european nations and also called on the russians western partners to move forward on be ideal to build

a unified anti missile defense system which would include russia the united states the european union with everybody sharing the responsibility for the safety of the others so they go out of stressed that all of this is needed to maintain balance in the war than in europe and this balance can only be achieved if everybody works together. if the dialogue between moscow and washington is used only to distract attention from the u.s. in the eighty's anti missile defense system we could lose a unique chance of a few an agreement to discuss the possibility of a joint anti missile shield doesn't automatically mean russia is ready to join the program which is being drafted without its participation the idea of take it or leave it doesn't work for the new book or the security conference in munich is quite a significant event in itself because some of the world's most well known political

figures and top officials all present here are taking part in these questions on some of the most contemporary and important issues ranging from the current crisis in egypt to nonproliferation to frozen coffee conflicts cyber security and war and it's thought that it's. here we can really see the tendencies of global politics at least for the next year but in russia cities and the united states in the relationship for the next decade thank you god many thanks for that was our to go to prison off reporting live from munich for us. all those age impounds from the university of kent in britain says that although both online still have the option of pulling out of a joint missile defense system neither is likely to use it. the research has often been dismissed as just nice rhetoric with little action but now we have

a concrete outcome of the research in us russian relations and i think both sides will want to build on this indeed missile defense has been one of the most divisive issues around as we saw in november the nature of some of the lisbon present is prepared to discuss this and also prepared to consider russian participation in a missile defense shield that is not aimed at russia but in fact is a rogue states and so it would really help to diffuse tensions of the last few years and move forward in a more positive spirit both sides can pull out that's also been the case in the past with previous treaties so i don't think it's any different. real threats always exist and both sides have you very careful as to where they want to put out because that would really set back relations by many years the idea of multiculturalism in the u.k. has failed says prime minister david cameron he's urging minority groups to do more to integrate it comes as around three thousand follow rise of what is the gathered

in the town of luton to protest against islam or anti fascism muslims were also there to hold their own rally of dollars he's lore emmet joins us live now from lucian morrow what's the message from the various groups you've gathered today in luton. well what we've seen in luton on saturday are two arch rival factions meeting about five hundred meters from each other really in this same small town just behind me where the english defense league who is. against the islamification of the u.k. as they call it they don't want islam to take hold in this country they are trying to defend the england that they say they know and love and just up the road you know i see gates fascism and a large muslim faction as well saying exactly the opposite saying that we want you know we want muslims to be able to live in this country in peace and and we want everybody to be able to come and live in this country in peace and so really when

these two groups meet and come together there are very usually clashes we've seen it several times happening in london in the last year or so the e.t.l. in the us just don't like each other very much we went up to the united states fascism process just up the road and we spoke to some people about what had happened here today we have seen a huge police operation mounted costing in the region of one point two million dollars just to police this demonstration and more than a thousand people drafted into luton for the day from all over the country and let's hear what one of the u.s. supporters had to say about that. because you know whole series rather than just you know been bringing people in devon and cornwall you know it's just like a huge operation to allow a racist in fact just to create more latino community and it's a misnomer a just really special when i talk about making cuts to public. and it certainly

looked like a huge operation horses cordoning off the entire town center to stop these two rival factions from getting us each other we managed to catch up with the chief counsel for the chip police who told us that he was very pleased with how the operation of passed off regardless of how much it cost that to him. would go to policing operation rooms roy through the beginning to knowing we prepare for the. looting to ensure that so you. can push into the evening. and it was a very successful operation as he said i've heard word of just two arrests there wasn't any violence that we saw so what that means really is that the english defense league has seemed to manage at least for now to have got that violent drunken sort of football hooliganism aspects of their organization under control as they say at least for the moment and that to me any means one thing which is that

they are making a bid to become a legitimate organization a note of the band of thugs that they have been so far known as and this can only be to attract a wider variety of membership and indeed their membership is fairly diverse already it's not just white people as you might imagine it's also you sikhs there are jewish people there are black people who are among their ranks here on saturday so we have to just wait and see what the what the e.t.l. comes up with next meanwhile this police operation continues into the evening and into the night just to mop up any stragglers and make sure that there will be no child labor night allure of the prime minister david cameron is not the first european leader to address this idea of a failed multiculturalism is he known to his comments chime in with what's been said elsewhere. whether it was a coincidence that david cameron made his comment today or whether it was done deliberately to coincide with this march is not clear but it is clear that again he is not the first person to have made these comments inside europe germany's angela

merkel also. you said that this is a system that has failed miserably they've got a lot of turkish immigration in germany and she says that there is little to no integration into the german community we've also seen the travelling community gypsies being deported from france recently the swedish democrats won seats in parliament a far rights group for the first ever time at the beginning of last year and we've also seen a vote in switzerland in which fifty seven percent of people said they wanted to ban the building of any more minarets so this is certainly a europe wide feeling this this this anti islam ism and indeed in luton on saturday we have seen joining the ranks of the a.d.l. according to them groups from france from holland from germany from sweden and from norway so really people according to the e.t.l. have come here to luton to support them from all over europe so certainly this is not a problem that's limited to this town or indeed to this country i can or many thanks

for their reporting live for us from lucian many thanks. for more on this a debate on integration in europe i'm now joined from berlin by an of mango who's an immigration officer there mr mengele coffee joining us now we've just heard from our correspondent who's in luton today about and he islam demonstrations in the u.k. how much of this sort of thing have we seen in germany. well you do not have demonstration against muslim people here in germany sometimes in cologne and berlin they demonstrate against the building buildings of mosques single most but this is just a little bit located very small groups in the total of germany you have tolerance for islam and from people from other countries and not these fights as we hear it from other countries but we do know that germany's chancellor angela merkel is on record as saying that multiculturalism has failed just as david cameron has done

today so what do you think of that assessment. that's true that's true my culture isn't has failed for sure because you cannot let people come into the country and then they find their way into work when there is not enough work for unskilled people so if the people all would have work we would have not such a bad standard of integration as long as we have so much social welfare to give to the people we will not have the problems because the people have the money and then they have time to do whatever they work sometimes they were going to play the market but multiculturalism will only function if the people come into the country have a job to own their own money and feel responsible for it for the community otherwise was jobless people and if they live a passive life with social welfare they were to not responsibility for the community so would you characterise them has failed in germany so what's the solution how to make multiculturalism work what from your perspective should be

done to quell intolerance and help society integrate. you need to qualify the kids already from from the day they are born from first year to go to kindergarten the whole day so that they have. that. built. that they learn to read and write very very early and that they spend it school time not only until one o'clock two o'clock in the afternoon and watch television for the rest of the day but stay in school until five o'clock in the afternoon and schools should turn into integration centers and we need good skilled people in the industrial countries so all the jobs are gone to to india or to china but we have in the european industrial cities we do not have these low skilled jobs so we need education for the kids so now let us create good schools we need the best teachers and the best kindergarten pedagogics in those

areas where so many people from other countries live in so many if you want poor people from refugees from countries in europe east or from from the east of turkey you need to bring education to them they don't search for education themselves i mean. a big group of them lots of them are very good integrated but the group of that is not so good integrated is growing at least in berlin so the key is education education education imagine there germany's turkish community now we see in france encourage people from its roma community to leave the country can we expect germany to take any similar kind of action with its large turkish population for example. no see you in a bar of noise colonel part of burley and we have forty thousand people from turkish country most of them are already german citizens so there is no question of

to send people back to turkey we wouldn't do that they lived here for thirty forty years they are not people berlijn people german people here it's different people from rumania and bulgaria if they come and do not have a job they come first now as tourists and then after three months they have to leave the country if they do not do that we have a problem because if they have no money themselves if they have no apartment themselves if they live eagerly it's difficult so we need to face this problem what to do with the kids when they live for months in the city but do not go to school this is a problem but we have no no problems or thoughts with with a big group of the turkish residents to move them to go back to turkey this is this is just nonsense so there is no easy answers are there when it comes to multiculturalism of course here are not many immigration officer speaking to us from germany many thanks for your thoughts. anti-government protesters in egypt are

still pouring into cairo's tahrir square as they piled the pressure on president hosni mubarak to step down the deadline set by demonstrators for him to quit passed on friday without robotic making any statement however according to the state media the leadership of egypt's ruling party has resigned including the fun of the current president and responds to the continuing it demands will these are the latest pictures that we have from tahrir square on the twelfth day of protests the crowd is still refusing to leave until their demands are met and the country's leader of almost three decades step down as you call it is keeping across developments for us. thousands of demonstrators remain converged in turkey a square in downtown cairo which really has been the focal point of these anti mubarak demonstrations now there have been various moments throughout the course of today saturday when things looked a bit tense both groups making

a surge to each other the army has moved closer when it has intensified its presence in the area and it has brought in more soldiers so so far no reports of violence but we are hearing occasionally rumors that bombs have been found these rumors are later and known not to be true but it certainly gives you an indication of the fear the anger and the uncertainty out there in tahrir square state television is reporting that president mubarak was meeting today with the ministers of his top economic portfolios these include the prime minister the finance minister the oil minister and the minister of trade and industry but no word so far from mubarak himself he hasn't had anything to say about yesterday friday's d.-day and that was the deadline that protesters gave him to step down at the same time earlier today this morning in fact there was an explosion in a natural gas pipeline not far from gaza now we're just hearing reports that it was caused by some kind of gas leak we're hearing from the authorities that it was. not

because of sabotage early reports did suggest it was sabotage what is interesting though is the conflicting reports also in terms of how much damage it's done to egypt supply of gas to israel egypt supplies the country with forty percent of natural gas now israeli radio is reporting that they have been no disruptions on the israeli mind we've heard other conflicting reports it gives one a sense of uncertainty and particularly the fear that is being experienced in the region that it is real that if egypt temp control its internal security that this has the possibility to spread further lang also hearing fears that weapons might be at the moment smuggled into gaza the president it's different inside that and simply israel watching these developments closely very afraid that those will be questions that will be used against israeli citizens demonstrations has been held in new york where hundreds of people took to the streets many of them are in our citizens with both egypt and american citizenship they have also been demonstrations in the middle east in turkey and in yemen and in iran and

they've been demonstrations this fall field as south africa and demonstrations in europe and france and belgium so those kind of images of support so we are keeping them in time going here for the demonstration as we are today saturday entering the twelfth day now at the same time we are hearing that demonstrators has formed a new opposition party and that this party consists of ten members included among them a mohammed el baradei who is the former head of the international atomic energy agency the muslim brotherhood and that the demands they put in thought are quite simple number one they want mubarak gone and number two they want to have some kind of mechanism in place for it would be a gradual transition to free and fair elections the prime minister was reportedly meeting with various opposition groups today that has shown a shift on both sides because until today both sides confirm in their stance that they were not going to negotiate with the other until one of their sides. we also

hear reports about the assessing nation attend on the life of the vice president omar suleiman and here it was reported that two of his bodyguards have died the interruption state media not reporting that there was no and i said no assassination attempt what i can tell you is that's one of the most important thing here he is being told to particularly by the united states and others in the international community as the person to follow mubarak so that kind of. situation here in egypt. when in the international media coverage all the rest in egypt giving a fair picture on what's going on there want to find out laurie how often asked also known as the president hit the streets of new york to all people that think. thousands upon thousands of protesters have taken to the streets in cairo is this a welcome revolution or an out now try it this week let's talk about that because

of revolution i should be so did you know much of the situation in egypt before the media started covering what was going on. do you think that what the media puts out there skews our perception of what's going on pretty much so if they called it a riot would you feel differently yes why do you think the media sometimes calls in events a riot and sometimes calls it a revolution well i think it probably depends on the news commentator he's imposing his opinion on the scene do you think that the news always does that yeah but i think everybody goes i mean there are no objective people in the world we all come and probably already made up do you think that there media's coverage of what's going on in egypt just fair. at first. i don't i don't know. fair i mean we haven't covered egypt i mean they've had this guy in power for how many years so where were they all those years that he was

supposed to be not a good leader you know we haven't heard anything about the do you think it's important what happens in egypt for us it's important for the people i think that. a democratic system is more important than. for united states so would it surprise you to know that our country has backed the current person that in broward yet no. not really i mean as oil right because that's what it always comes down to you know oh mom if they're getting footage and it looks like people are in this upheaval and it looks like a riot and that's what people want to hear they'll call it that on the other hand if they think they'll sell more and call it a revolution i think they'll call it that so do you think they care about the outcome of what happens in egypt or are they trying to push their own agenda well i think that the individuals care about as a corporation and the media i think they care about selling the news however they

want and whoever the stakeholders are whatever they want to hear that's the gender that they're going to push whether or not you think the protests in egypt are a good thing we can only hope that the situation gets resolved with as little violence as possible. i can also weigh the news this hour ahead on all today the business we can round up now is sure reyna. welcome to our business program i'm sure on a. rising prices on crude oil and energy are the main obstacles to global growth says world renowned economist joseph stiglitz he also warns that the recovery from the financial crisis will be slow and painful unless the world addresses pressing economic problems and one of the main challenges for russia he points out is the high exchange rate. one of the problems that almost all resource

rich countries have. is the change rate it's very high and at a high exchange rate it's very hard for export goods to compete with other exports from other countries or importers book or import substitution industries to compete with the fighting wars so. all of the world resource rich countries become what i call the rich countries poor people. countries that are not able to sustain the first. economic base that is necessary for long term growth and stability colleague murielle roubini dr doom mentioned that there's a high risk the g twenty will become a g.'s zero because there is no country was going to pose the united states and come forth as the leader of financial regulation is that possible always absolutely right if we continue going down the route of unanimity it will be the king zero.

and you know to be frank i am not sure that there will be the willingness to go through the kind of brain work of broad consensus that i'd advocate bill you're of the global community to solve a lot of this problem doesn't. really. lead to disaster it just means that we will have a less prosperous global economy and a more unstable global economy so where do you see the main risk for economic growth right now try to do the energy crisis. there are some to patients of the two thousand a crisis or was that it was the high crude and energy prices that really precipitated the crisis because his central banks had responded when they raise interest rates again that worked with them there was low interest rate subprime mortgage she. fell apart. represent probably the most immediate.
