although there are strategic pursuing these in sixty days they will resume check ups of. nuclear weapons collections if you wish and the very important thing about this is the treaty was first ratified by all 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 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 confused the translation and the instead of the words. written on

this watching no word. in russian of course was written instead and hillary clinton's remembers about this incident two years after the translation ceremony. that the foreign minister should be about when it came to translation marymount those are two countries chris lawrence asked to reach. the first was truly historic event the atmosphere was really. at the time of 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. also

called 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 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 discussions on some of the last contemporary and important issues ranging from the current crisis in egypt to nonproliferation to frozen 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. well kate hansen a nuclear disarmament campaigner from london says the newly implemented pact is part of a global tendency towards. i think the key thing of course is is in the reestablishment of trust between the two nations we know that things like the verification process that's now being reestablished and restarted that of course is very important and also the message that it sends elsewhere in the world if we're looking at whether other countries will seek to pursue nuclear weapons the fact the two biggest nuclear powers are engaged in disarmament process most surely encourage other countries not to go down that route not to go down the nuclear proliferation route so i think as an indication of the way the international community is moving

on nuclear weapons this is very significant indeed and of course the way is open for the united states and russia to pursue further bilateral reductions there is a global trend away from nuclear weapons this is a very very important factor within that process. still ahead on the program revolution riot 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 who's imposing his opinion to see would it surprise you to know that our country has backed the current nurse remember our oh yeah now. we ask whether the international media coverage of the political crisis in egypt is fair and what kind of message it sends. on the weight of the words some american save political correctness has gone too far of classic literature to find itself the target of censorship.

night has fallen in cairo's tahrir square but still thousands of anti-government protesters in egypt remain attempting to keep the pressure on president hosni mubarak the deadline set by demonstrators for him to step down past 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 the latest pictures that we have from tahrir square on the twelfth day of protests crowds are refusing to leave but so it seems that is hosni mubarak. is keeping across developments it is raining intermittently people are still flying turned and people have been huddling so roam around campfires and intense respect maybe it's just the enthusiasm and the real belief in what they 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 it did the response in 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 analysts and they use an expression that when a person has cancer you don't treat that cancer by giving them one one who are vesper and now earlier 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've been filming was actually confiscated and we were warned that if we do not turn back we would be arrested on the spot not 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 earlier 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 off so the derivation 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 egyptian and american citizenship we saw the same kind of scenes being

played out in europe across eastern eleven on each turkey in iran and as far afield as south africa at the same time the mid east it did meet on the sidelines of the unix security conference and there the u.s. secretary of state. hillary clinton seared into 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 the leaders did condemn the violence and again we're hearing the same course in 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 earlier reports that the white house was pushing mubarak to leave immediately or william blum he was an all things story an and outspoken critic own the united states foreign policy says the

u.s. is playing a double game when it dictates democracy. it's embarrassing you know every day the u.s. pretends to be a champion of democracy that is that is the main image but they can't just ignore the protests in cairo they have to show some support for them but that's that's that's for their image that's that's that's public relations that their heart is not in it the u.s. government doesn't have any. emotional investment in democracy or in overthrowing a dictator is that they were now supported mubarak for thirty years if they fraud otherwise. what is the international media coverage of the unrest in egypt giving a fair picture on what's going on there to find out how often it's also known as the resident hit the streets of new york are people there 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 figure's 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 us so if 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 it everybody goes i mean there 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 despair. 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 the current now as a member our no no not really i mean as oil right because that's what it always comes down to you know the money 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. now the idea of multiculturalism in the u.k. has failed says prime minister david cameron who's urging minority groups to do more to integrate the comments were made on the same day as around three thousand far right supporters marched in the town of luton to protest against islam. and muslims also gather to hold their own rally there and it has more from there. 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 want islam to take hold in this country just up the road you know i see gates fascism and a large mostly faction as well saying exactly the opposite saying that we want you know we want muslims 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 looted for the day from all over the country and that's what one of the u.s. forces had to say about that it's. been bringing people. just like a huge operation to allow for a system fascistic violence in a few minutes and it's a is outrageous really specially when they talk about making cuts to public sector 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 bed to chip at least he told us that he was very pleased with how the operation it passed off the goddess of how much it cost to him policing operation the rules roy through the beginning to the knowing to prepare for the. looting to ensure that so you. can push until you think. 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 oil 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 see 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.d.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 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 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 or german immigration the commissioner on the cost person proving standards of education providing the mood or pushing g's 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 no 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 in the. you're with some other international headlines now this hour an estimated seventy thousand serbs took part in a protest the central belgrade the biggest anti-government rally in years demonstrators were calling for early elections higher wages and a crackdown on corruption all position leaders to threaten a blockade of the capital if their request is not met within two months or always ten thousand officers world and to prevent a repeat of violence the biggest demonstration. heavy monsoon rains of calls massive flooding in several parts of sri lanka claiming at least thirteen lives in

effect eight hundred thousand people thousands of homes of the destroyed or many roads damaged this is the second time within a month the true lanka has been badly affected by raging waters in jan remove the million people who are affected by flooding which claimed at least forty three lives. now as part of the fight against inequality and discrimination and political correctness in the us has become entrenched into everyday life but the rules of what you can say and what you cause have now extended into censoring or altering classic literature and as always when to put not i 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. you actually

speak their mind 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 a 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

of robust growth that would be an engine for global growth of course high commodity prices are good for russia that bad for the united states a slowing down economic growth is the solution the problem of global imbalance is that we say too little. before the crisis household savings rate in the united states. was zero some quarters negative obviously not sustainable. since the crisis is coming up. but still not enough i'm all household savings have gone up. five percent. publics a big sysco handout national deficit better risk a deficit of around ten percent so in terms of the overall savings rate of the economy we haven't improved we just shifted from one side to the other is there a risk that we will see a double dip i don't think in the united states there's no much of a risk of

a double dip. only a certain. of a decline in growth rate winnable said innocent player. and we've got a little bit of a boost because of the payroll tax cut that was just a nap so that payroll tax cut is and. makes a artificial support good thing to do but it was on from one year and that means that into the new year it's not renewed. that they couldn't foresee constraints on states and localities the continuing. problems over leveraged. on the whole just continue financial state governments the negatives will become predominant. only shortly growth will slow. and let's take a look at the markets question markets close in the black on friday having climbed
