strategic pursuing this in sixty days they will resume check ups off 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 west in its original version of the text was not changed. 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 many have already called this boards turning into action and talking about the reset off relations between russia and the united states which actually started two years ago in june when the american delegation met would be 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 confused the translation and the instead of the words

. written on those watching the words. in russian of course was written instead and hillary clinton's remembers about this incident two years ago after the translation ceremony where he said that the foreign minister should be about when it came to translation marabout those are two countries. this chart after to reach. first was truly a story and the atmosphere was really. at the time off this exchange and just a reminder this treaty is set to reduce the number of strategic arms on both sides why over one so if you are 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 cause. russia's western borders to move forward on the idea to build

a unified into missile defense system which would include russia the united states the european union with everybody sharing the responsibility for the safety of the others. and 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 here this is your conference in munich is quite a significant event in itself because some of the world's most well known political figures and top of fishelson all present here are taking ford in discussions on some of the most contemporary and important issues ranging from the current crisis in egypt to nonproliferation to frozen car conflicts cyber security and war and it's thought that it's a here that we can maybe see the tendencies of global politics at least for the

next year but in russia's case and the united states case and in the role of relationship for the next decade. or so age and powers from the university of kent in britain says that although both sides still have the option of pulling out of a joint with all defense system that is likely to use it. the reset has often been dismissed as just nice rhetoric with little action but now we have a concrete outcome of the reset in u.s. russian relations and i think both sides will want to build on this indeed missile defense has been one of the most divisive issues sixty five as we saw in november at the nato summit in lisbon present medvedev 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 defuse tensions. 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 that is any different. real threats always exist and both sides have to be very careful as to where they want to put out because that would really set back relations by by many years. so the head of the program revolution briards why do you think the media sometimes calls an event and sometimes calls it a revolution but i think it probably depends on the news commentator he's imposing his opinion on the scene would it surprise you to know that our country has backed the current nurse remember now. we're all whether the international media coverage of the political crisis in egypt is what kind of message it's sending. the weight of words some americans say you political correctness is going to fall as classic literature finds itself target the censorship.

ny times fall in cairo's tahrir square still thousands of anti-government protesters in egypt remain attempting to keep the pressure on the president hosni mubarak the deadline set by demonstrators been to step down has passed and still mubarak has made no statement however according to state media the leadership of egypt's ruling party has resigned in response to the continued demands among those to quit is the son of the current president well these are live pictures that we're receiving now from tahrir square on the twelfth day of protests the crowds are still refusing to leave but so it seems is hosni mubarak to support a slayer is keeping across developments for us it is raining intermittently people are still sighing turned and people have been huddling around campfires and intense respect maybe it's just the enthusiasm and the real belief in what they're doing

that is essentially keeping them warm it was a cheer in the crowd earlier saturday when the announcement came through that state television was reporting that the president mubarak and the rest of the top leadership of the national democratic party had resigned we are those who are in conflict reports about whether or not that happened but assuming that there was for . on the square was that this was a step in the right direction but not enough protesters still insisting that mubarak needs to stick to needs to step down from the presidency at the same time i've been speaking to an illness and they can use an expression that when a person has cancer you don't treat that cancer by giving them one poor one who were vesper and now only a saturday the head of the army's central command visited a week from the one side to the other and he urged protesters to go home i can tell you that the mood in the square is almost as if the army is choking people in we did try to make our way there but we were stopped by the army the tape that we'd been filming was actually confiscated and we were warned that if we do not turn

back we would be arrested on the spot now the focus here is for sunday sunday has been dubbed the day of martyrdom and again a court has gone out for one million protesters to make their way to tahrir square on saturday president mubarak met with the top officials of his government it was almost as if they were trying to put on a face that it was business as usual and that was the message that was given by the country's prime minister he met with opposition parties he did say that the opposition parties were very divided but he was confident that they could reach some kind of common ground and some kind of solution he also said that stability was returning to that country and of course once that message to go out to the international community because of the economic crisis that essentially this country is facing at the moment well saturday's demonstration was dubbed the day of solidarity and that was really to mock and to say thank you to the demonstrations that have been held around the world in solidarity with what is going on here in egypt itself in new york hundreds of people took to the streets they have egypt and

american citizenship we saw the same kind of scenes being played out in europe across the eastern eleven nodded in turkey in iran and as far afield as south africa at the same time the middle east it did meet on the sidelines of the unix security conference. and there the u.s. secretary of state hillary clinton said and to quote a perfect storm is brewing in the arab world and of course that is because people are concerned that what has happened here in egypt will have and is already having a ripple effect in the rest of the region even leaders who did condemn the violence and again we're hearing the same call from the international community to allow egyptians to make a decision for themselves at the same call coming from egyptians asking the international community to stay out and stop meddling in their own internal domestic issues on america's special envoy to egypt says mubarak should stay in power to supervise the transition it appears to contradict the reports that the white house was pushing mubarak to leave immediately when he really isn't all

things story an outspoken critic of the united states foreign policy says the u.s. is playing a double game when it dictates democracy to others. it's embarrassing you know every day the u.s. pretends to be a champion of democracy that is that is the main image. they can't just ignore the protests in cairo they have to show some support for them where that's that's that's for their image that's that's that's public relations that their heart is not in the u.s. government doesn't have any. emotional investment in democracy or an overthrow a dictator is there we're now supported mubarak for thirty years if they follow the other worries. is the international media coverage of the unrest in egypt giving a picture on what's going on there want to find out laurie hoffman is also a name as the resident hit the streets of new york to ask people what they 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 figures of revolution actually 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 as they called it a riot would you feel differently yes why do you think the media sometimes calls an event a riot and sometimes calls it a revolution but 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 you know about everybody goes i mean we were in there you are there are no objective people in the world we all come with our mind probably already made up do you think that there media's coverage of what's going on in egypt just fair. 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 that until now 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 now as a member our yes no. not really i mean as oil right because that's what it always comes down to the moment 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. evolution 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 the individuals care but 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. the idea of multiculturalism in the u.k. has failed says prime minister david cameron whose minority groups to do more to integrate the comments were made on the same day as around three thousand far right supporters in the town of luton to protest against islam. and muslims also gather to hold their own rally artie's through and it has. 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. to take hold in this country just up the road you know i see gates fascism and large most of 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 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 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. forces had to say about that because. they've been bringing people. just like a huge operation to allow racists in fascistic violence in a community and it is outrageous really specially when i talk about making cuts to public service and it certainly looked like a huge operation horses cordoning off the entire town center to stop these two rival factions from getting as each other we managed to catch up with the chief counsel for the chip police he told us that he was very pleased with how the operation of passed off the goddess of how much it cost to him policing operation the rooms roy through the beginning to the knowing to be prepared for the. looting to ensure that the so you. 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 the law and drunken sort of football hooliganism aspects of their organization under control as they say at least for the moment 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 a.t.l. comes up with next whether it was a coincidence that david cameron made his comment today or whether it was done deliberately inside with this march is not clear but it is clear that he did it again he is not the first person to have made these comments inside europe germany's angela merkel also said that this is the 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 to fall 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 or german immigration commissioner on all of michael cole says that improving standards of education and providing more job opportunities all the best ways to integrate communities. all the jobs are gone 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 let us create good schools we need the best teachers and the best kindergarten pedagogues 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 in the. you know with r.t. let's check out some other international headlines now this hour and an estimated seventy thousand serbs took part in a protest in central belgrade the biggest anti-government rally in years demonstrators were calling for early elections higher wages and a crackdown corruption and opposition leaders have threatened blockade of their capital if their requests is not met within ten months almost ten thousand officers were on hand to prevent a repeat of violent scene previous demonstration. heavy monsoon rains have

caused massive flooding in several parts of sri lanka at least thirteen lives in affecting over eight hundred thousand people thousands of houses have been destroyed and many roads damaged this is the second time within a month that lanka has been badly affected by raging waters in january more than a million people were affected by flooding which claimed at least a forty three lives. now as part of the fight against inequality and discrimination the political correctness in the us has become entrenched into everyday life but the rules on what you can say and what you can't have now extended into censoring or altering classical fitch literature. my reports many americans think that means the p.c. movement has gone too far. america is a country that pioneers freedom of expression but is the rising tide of political correctness reigning in the right to say what you think people do. to actually

speak it's almost as though you have a sort of a code although sometimes you want to call a spade a spade and sometimes you want to call it trouble according to a museum poll the majority of citizens think the us is overdosing on p.c. turning the land of the free into a nation of hyper sensitive sissies. were even corn chips can cause mass controversy in this ad a priest substituted to read zero for the eucharist the body of christ. the commercial was created for a possible super bowl broadcast but after an uproar among catholics frito lay apologized and pulled the plug on the satirical spot during a commercial being pulled is a classic example of americans freaking out about something insulting to do with religion i understand why the catholic league might flip out that's their job however be able to laugh at yourself folks. the price of humor can end up costing

the willingness to go through the kind of lame work of broad consensus that i've advocated bill you're for the global community to solve a lot of the problems doesn't need. to disaster it just means that we 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 it was that it was the high proven energy crisis that really precipitated the crisis because. central banks had to respond and when they raise interest rates again that worked with them there was a loon interest rate subprime mortgage she. fell apart. really representing probably the most immediate. and russian markets closed in the black on friday having clowns for
