cool moment the green light has been given in around six weeks russia and the united states will exchange for information on all their strategic facilities and in two months they will resume regular check ups of the nuke stocks and perhaps most importantly their reduction the pact was backed by both presidents but it still took nearly two years of hard talks and internal dispute until the treaty was ratified by both countries parliaments and even then only after the two sides had made so-called special statements or recommendations but they were non-binding and will not affect the actual implementation of the deal the original text remains untouched by there were. threats from both sides but. and now we see that it was the start treaty that started the reset process also on the table at the munich security forum was another initiative backed by moscow the building of

a unified anti missile defense system which includes russia the united states and the european union all sharing the responsibility for the safety of the other according to you i would offer maintaining a balance is essential for everyone security and he stressed this is a unique chance to work together. in 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 was the idea of take it or leave it doesn't work here if we don't work together she will have to compensate like it or not an emerging imbalance. getting rid of old cliches and dividing one that's the message was by most here in germany a country which learned from bitter experience what being divided is all about. a lot remains to be done to irreversibly overcome the accumulated historical clichés phobias. suspicions countries need to follow the principle of the

indivisibility of security we already to follow serious collective work in the key area of year the land in global policy the time has come to take a choice between common strategic interests really immediate political expediency but clearly not everyone is able to get rid of all stereotypes we are proceeding with it because of the threat we face from iran not from the soviet union and. when you look from the former soviet know this meeting in munich is fast becoming a major stage for people to look forward to among other issues dominating the talks were the current unrest in egypt the peace process in the middle east iran's nuclear program north korea frozen conflicts and for the first time in forty seven years cybercrime the security there was that's the nickname this conference has been given by some since it's

a great opportunity for world leaders and top level politicians to share their views on key contemporary issues and many say every year this forum reveals the true direction of global politics for the near future and in the case of russia and the united states for the next decade you've got this kind of arty munich. the traitor in pubs from the university of canton britain's has the train marks a real milestone in russia yes relations. the reset has often been dismissed as just nice rhetoric with little action but now we have a concrete outcome of the reset in us russian relations and i think both sides want to build on this indeed missile defense has been one of the most divisive issues well as we saw in november at the nato summit in lisbon president via the 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 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 to very careful as to where they want to put out because that would really set back relations by by many years. of president hosni mubarak has made an attempt to calm the country stands situation by reshuffling his government the leadership of the ruling party including mubarak's son resigned in response to violent protests that answered their thirteenth day however the eighty two year old president insists on staying in office until elections take place in september meanwhile people around the world to the streets demanding his immediate resignation western leaders were quick to align themselves with the protests but as lauren explains calls for democratic changes are your turn after decades of supporting mubarak regime. president obama started

a my belief that an orderly transition must be meaningful. it must be peaceful and it must begin now and then faithfully one after the other one the other governments followed suit. these democratic change has to start now. it needs to happen now the growth of freedom and democracy in egypt and it seems the theme was contagious as the call for a new egypt spreads uncontrolled across the western mass media there were one hundred and fifty thousand people in the streets of cairo protesting for democracy this is how democracy happened but what right do u.s. and european leaders have to get involved in what's essentially domestic unrest about dissatisfaction with a ruler who cares what they want in egypt certainly not these demonstrators at the egyptian embassy in london they supported you feel regime for such

a long time but they are they do feel regime and now they are talking about democracy and respect the feeling right out of this into obama's speech. because he's sitting on the fence so watch. everything is not the same going overboard and just saying that's the appearance for a transition where is this peaceful transition there are shades of past conflicts in the world's attitude to the situation in egypt according to william spring he campaigns against nato aggression is a sovereign state but what they have always done the west have used this humanitarian or came and they said oh we can intervene in a way can intervene in byelorussia we can put sanctions for example this week so i put sanctions on. the grounds that they in directions were in some way valid. as well they're all sufficient irregularities in the british elections without your

knowledge opinion putting sanctions on. it's a complete turnaround for the western world which is always supported hosni mubarak is a force for stability in the region the u.s. gave him one and a half billion dollars a year for his armed forces alone and it was western support that kept mubarak in power betraying. an inherent misunderstanding of the way in society operates according to chatham house and the way regimes like mubarak survive. is by making themselves useful. to do as they have to convince the world that. if they leave it'll be the muslim brotherhood and you have the public. in egypt and it's the worst case scenario so the. minute you can see beyond the really fall of all of which suggests that western countries should stand back and let the egyptian people exercise their sovereignty the president of the united states would call on

us to move immediately and. to make changes as if we are the fifty third state of the united states we are not trying to play a role in egypt's future is a dangerous game for western leaders hosni mubarak enjoyed strong support from america and co for many years but now at the first sign of trouble the support is conspicuous in its absence it sends a message to friends and foes alike in the region when the going gets tough don't count on us a message that's likely to further destabilize an already deeply unstable part of the world's. majority. leading opposition activists mohamed el baradei has warned the demonstrations could become even more vicious if president mubarak refuses to step down but some analysts say egyptians should also hold off on pinning their hopes on the pro western party. mama el baradei eyes a belated attempt at getting in on this opposition movement well it may be too late

he's part of the international crisis group a murky elite group with close ties to western interests as the people of egypt are shown such courage in the face of such u.s. backed terror that has occurred in egypt for the past thirty years to the people of egypt want mohamed el baradei i think that it's doubtful the best this is a storm very much of the americans own making and i think the people will remember that the bullets fired at them were made in the united states that president obama has close ties with all these companies raytheon boeing these are the companies that have the ear of president obama and those jets flying over cairo alexandria so is another cities there are american so if this is a sudden switch by the americans to suddenly think well maybe we can put more of the baradei and i think it may be too late. and author and journalist from london there now there's more news and analysis on the situation in egypt on our web site

r t v dot com. still ahead in the program out of side but not out of mind the people of ukraine little kiev demand to know what happened here eccentric mayor has been missing from public wife for several months. and also fear of the presence of weapons of mass destruction drew america into war with iraq but the same happened with iran we'll look at how the u.s. media are ratcheting up public suspicion. russian president dmitry medvedev has slammed officials for earlier announcing the deadly suicide bombing at moscow airport had been solved investigators claim they solved the case after they identify the suicide bomber of welcome progress into the investigation but said that no official had a right to announce the results prematurely meanwhile a video has emerged showing russia's most wanted man terrorist dog whom are threatening an attack on moscow it comes less than two weeks after the suicide blast of the capital's dome of the out of the airport took thirty six lives and

injured more than one hundred people well we can all cross live to a correspondent because he is following the story for us here in moscow does this mean o'mara has claimed responsibility for the domodedovo bombing. raid in many are reading exactly that into the message posted by russia's most wanted terrorist online on a website that previously has been known to spread similar extremist of material of extremist nature of the material posted by russia's most wanted terrorist doc a lot of certainly is threatening in nature you speak so various missions of the year twenty eleven as being the year of tears shed and blood shed in russia and also of various suicide missions he has two men standing on either side of the him allegedly those two men are suicide. bombers and one of those men is allegedly the man who detonated the bomb at moscow's them idea the airport just

a few weeks ago of course there is no confirmation to this whatsoever and the lot of himself does not outright claim responsibility for the blast but many are reading exactly that into the message that was posted online from the man who is of course russia's most wanted terrorist wanted for a number of heinous crimes including of course organizing the moscow metro bombings of march two thousand and ten where dozens were killed hundreds injured the lot of course claimed responsibility for that terrorist act and said they will continue to strike russia until their message has been received accepted and according actions have been taken of course no outright admission of the fact that the. terrorist attack was organized by the man but various statements made by doc will modify in the video posted has led many to assume that the message is in fact

a claim of responsibility in itself despite the fact that the man doesn't outright come out and say yes i am the man who organized the horrible moscow bombings that claimed over thirty lawyers and injured hundreds and hundreds more. because we now have there been any comments from the authorities in relation to that video. there haven't been any official comments regarding this specific video as of yet but we do know that the russian president meeting with one meeting with the investigative committee of the russian prosecution office and also with the head of the federal security bureau the f.s.b. has criticized both the security officials for it claiming to have solved the case too soon if or said a further investigations need to be undertaken. a criminal case has to be held the evidence needs to be presented to prosecutors to the court if need be before any

kind of judgment can be made so for them to claim that the case has indeed been solved as they have claimed is very prematurely the russian president for seemingly telling off the security officials for acting in haste and speaking in haste before the case itself was solved of course according to security officials the man responsible for the terrorist attack on moscow airport that killed thirty six people and injured hundreds more passengers and people waiting in the airport itself allegedly according to the security officials that terrorist attack was ordered that organized by a young man from the north caucasus who arrived at the airport acting as a suicide bomber detonating the explosive on him according to security officials that man was also high on some sort of intoxicating illegal substances but of course they were all as i've said criticized by the president for speaking in haste

and we are of course waiting for that investigation to continue absolutely good thanks very much indeed for bringing us this update because even as our there. he was always a politician average one considered eccentric but even by your standards keeps mayoral any turn of events most recent behavior is erratic he has not been seen in public for six months at a crain's prime minister doesn't know where he is are to ask investigates the case of a missing mayor. many if agree that over the past six months ukraine's capital has become a better place to live but locals are bewildered as to who should take the credit as the man in charge of the city has gone missing. the mayor. definitely. in five years as city's top dog and each and maybe its key has been a journalist delight from singing at a press conference. taking

a dive in front of cameras to prove he was mentally sane the eccentricity of key of smear earned him the nickname spaceman among locals yes i am a spaceman absolutely true if he had gone to space it might at least explain the ministry of where he actually is that's because the last time should not be askew was seen in public was almost six months ago it is troubling not just ordinary citizens but those at the very top as well. urged the authorities to fine tune events in tell him that the people of kiev miss him and want him to return to work . after an avalanche of criticism was dumped and gives mayor following a devastating winter in two thousand and nine the city's snow clearing gear was overhauled by the government chile cap he s'posed but the real man running affairs is thought to be the city hall of ministration boss alexander pop off but he's giving nothing away about the mystery man. villa looks deserted only his mother in

a time when there were russian colleagues and when there was nothing at all in stores and more importantly there was nothing left to stop them up when he became president in one thousand nine hundred ninety one what did he have to do. sit and wait for rights to begin. i remember very well when president mitterrand came with a visit in one nine hundred ninety one and then chancellor later. but they both said the same thing no actually mitterrand said that in one thousand nine hundred five when he came to russia to attend the day celebrations. he was already very ill at the time he had a long conversation and he said you know i came here because of your husband. i think mr president did everything possible to save people. not only in russia but also in europe and the whole world he said and the u.s.s.r.

was not repaying any loans so mitterrand said can you imagine what it would have been if famine broke out in such a multinational country as yours it would have been much worse than yugoslavia. they were afraid there would be war no they were sure of that and we are a nuclear power and by containing all that and mr mid terms words boris yeltsin not only saved russia but also europe and the world all to watch the full interview with the widow of russia's first president boris yeltsin log on to our website r.t. dot com the us media has gone wild over an iranian book found in the arizona desert its contents lists the details of past terror attacks carried out by suicide bombers and militants the publication made some american news channels hint at future attacks on the us by iran but there are still those who think the threat is an exaggeration. a book found in the arizona desert has put america's most watched

cable news channel on high alert fox news alert new terror of fear as the book was reportedly published anywhere and contained information on suicide bombers that much was enough to trigger sensational suggestions that iranians could be plotting something inside the u.s. they would not give us a picture of the book they would not say if it's personalized in any way or you know what trackers may have found basically no facts behind the story but that didn't stop the channel from making a big scary deal of it story although they reported it point out at the end it could mean something and it could also mean nothing the international community is worried about iran but the american media go way beyond that seeking to make the country the wall bogeyman the biggest threat on earth no politician ever lost. every got negative publicity from. an industry in the united states that whenever

you have something negative that you want to say about the middle east. you can always attack iran every chance is taken to toss the rain into a stories that has no connection with it like this suicide bombings in moscow going to help us in places like iran to get more russian cooperation with afghanistan things like that are they going to wise up and help us a little bit the pick and choose style of reporting which shapes the american usage and it became all the more obviously in the wake of the week he leaks release of u.s. secret diplomatic cables despite having vast amounts of material at their disposal to choose from the new york times chose to go biggest on he ran with a four page article alone focusing on the country but they demonize ation of iran is not new in the u.s. media has been going on for years despite no proof tehran was building nuclear bombs these people are out to kill us i feel that this is the most dangerous country in. world do you think the world understands how evil this regime is

a nuclear iran can pass on nuclear military capabilities to terrorist organizations why is america sitting here like a patsy waiting to get spanked smacked killed what is it a whole city is going to get hit with a nuke some american news outlets have been major cheerleaders in fear mongering which back in two thousand and three legged stool war that was started on why the same people that want to cause regime change in iraq are now saying we need to do regime change in iran fear mongering can have major consequences creating a climate of scratch which could justify any action in the name of providing safety for the american people that's what happened in iraq where a friendly about long range weapons of mass destruction and links to al qaeda was whipped up to justify the invasion reasons later proven to be false the question is could the same approach be used with the ran a bit of news about a suspicious iranian book in the middle of nowhere is nothing but as the news reporter pointed out in isolation this is just
