you know what form and this is obviously to deal with the government strong that president mubarak cannot step down despite the demand from protesters on the streets that he step down immediately and till the constitution is dealt with the committee has been given one month to complete its work it is significant that the vice president almost sentiment met with opposition groups and that among those opposition groups was the muslim brotherhood the muslim brotherhood is banned here in just a few days ago they were saying that there was no way they would meet with the government until mubarak step down now the brotherhood is it pains to say that its position has not changed that it has called these talks are not negotiations and that's when he said that it went to go and meet with cement to see what was the position of the government how much it was prepared to use to meet them halfway and to put the demands of the people across as long as we can gauge the the media sensation but it's not so much that people are fearing move violence it's really the uncertainty of what comes next today sunday we've met we've witnessed in various places is being held by the coptic christians as well as muslims they've

come together and they've been praying for the people who died today has been called the day of matches the message that they've been putting out is that this is a people's revolution this is a democratic revolution for the first time we've noticed a real desire for people to get back to work and some kind of humanity the banks were open for us to free up for three hours there have been some businesses would open their doors the figures being bandied about is that this crisis has cost this country three hundred ten million dollars a day totaling three point one billion dollars so there is a very real desire from most people in the country that while they sympathize and empathize with the protesters for some kind of normality to return to the streets of egypt just yesterday the u.s. secretary of state hillary clinton speaking in munich saying that the washington the american administration would support a government that is headed by almost one of many he is the vice president that is currently meeting with these opposition groups now some of them is widely regarded here as mubarak's right hand man people prefer him possibly to. right but they

certainly don't believe that a government headed by him will be anything different to what they've seen at the moment his nickname is mr torture because of the position he held for so many years in the intelligence service here he was the chief of egyptian intelligence so when those kind of statements come out of the american administration they just reinforce the feeling on the streets here that the united states and european powers and the rest of the world really needs to stay out of egypt and if it is my colleague in england took a look at that phenomenon the problem president obama started it is 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 . to show these democratic change has to start now and. it needs to happen now for greater freedom and democracy in egypt and it seems the theme was contagious as the calling for a new egypt spreads uncontrolled across the western mass media there were two

hundred and fifty thousand people in the streets of cairo protesting for democracy this is how democracy happens 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 the egyptian regime for such a long time and in fact they are they give to regime and now they are talking about democracy and respect the for the rights of this and so obama's speech i want this but most of it could be sitting on the fence so much and most of that i mean is not the same going on but out there just saying that's the appearance for a transition where is this peaceful transition it's a complete turnaround for the western world which is always supported hosni mubarak is a fool supposed to policy 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 society operates according to chatham house. is by making. to the west so they have to convince the world that. if they leave it'll be the muslim brotherhood and you'll have to publish. in egypt. it's the worst case scenario so the. minute you can see beyond never really fall in all of which suggests that western countries should stand back and let the egyptian people exercise that the president of the united states would call on us to move immediately and. to make changes as if we are the fifty fifth state of the united states we are not trying to play

a role in egypt's you chase the dangerous game the western leaders hosni mubarak enjoyed strong support from america and co for many years but now at the first sign of trouble this uproot is conspicuous in its absence this 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 possibly was no rabbits are to be looked at meantime professor sayad mohammad marandi from the university of tehran says the real goal of the u.s. is to prevent the arab and muslim world from getting stronger to protect its closest ally in the region israel. they're not on the side of the people in the people recognize that they're playing a double game they're on the one hand very much on the side of the establishment on the side of. a mouse with a man but on the other hand they tell the egypt and people that they they hear

their voices and they wish to pray for their freedom but we all know that the ruling establishment cannot last without american support and the chips in people know that these countries do not want them to be free not only because do they want the americans and europeans want to remain in power and have their head germany in these countries but they also know that an independent egypt an independent jordan and an independent arabia meaning sodium rabia is something that would be detrimental to the israeli regime so the united states and the europeans will wish very much to prevent the people of the region from empowerment and that's mohammad marandi the professor from the university of tehran speaking there where you are with the weekly here on r.t. and still to come america's media is turning up the heat on terror on. tuesday the industry your leader in school he's going to do you have something to give you

good morning to both the movie studio if you think. you can always make your argument as a frenzy over the latest claims of a mounting threat from the islamic state but what's the truth behind the hype. plus russia reboot sets of commercial aviation with a brand new app which has just been cleared for launch we've got the full details in a few minutes right here on r.t. . russian authorities are searching for two people now from the republic of chechnya believed to be connected to the deadly terror attack on the port so he six people were killed and more than one hundred injured in the blast at one of the. two weeks ago. the two men could be linked to the twenty year old who is currently suspected of being the suicide bomber here's a body parts were recovered at the scene of russian investigators say they need time to determine if indeed he is the culprit meanwhile

a video has emerged showing russia's most wanted man who is threatening an attack on the capital of chechen terrorists went on to promise quote a year of blood. reports many believe it's his way of claiming responsibility. in that video is standing with two other men both of whom universe first to ask his brothers the man on the one side. appears to resemble the man authorities believe to be the suicide bomber who detonated the explosive device at the airport many also believe that this is one way to date the video despite the fact that it has been posted nearly two weeks after the blast of course has made similar videos before he has russia's most wanted terrorist and a leader of a terrorist organization that operates in the north caucasus previously of course he has been found guilty of organizing many terrorist attacks the most recent of

course being the moscow metro bombings in march two thousand and ten when dozens were killed and injured there has been no official reaction to the video so far earlier this week russian president meeting with a diplomat with the heads of the investigative committee and russia's security service the f.s.b. both these services have reported to the president that they have identified the suicide bomber they believe him to be a young man twenty year old young men are originally from the north caucasus who was quite high on drugs intoxicated with some illegal substances which the security services believe is a one way that these terrorists organize. nations are controlling those that they set up to side bombers they've also said that they could potentially have identified the man masterminding this terrorist attack that of course the details of that are not revealed. the fact the investigation is still ongoing but they've

also said that they've arrested they've actually detained some other people who they believe to have been involved and preparations for the terrorist attack on the russian president has commended officials on all the steps that they have taken but warned against calling the case closed too soon before every investigative action has been taken. out of the reporting that. well the new deal on a nuclear arms reduction between the russia and us has come into force nearly a year after it was first signed by the two countries presidents the treaty known as the new start is being hailed as a reset between the two countries but. it's only the beginning of a long road to scrapping cold war era stereotypes. words put into action historical. documents and the new strategic arms reduction treaty between

moscow and washington is officially in force and when it comes to the button that has worried us the most over the years the one that would unleash nuclear destruction today we take another step to ensure it will never be pushed. to last for the next ten years the treaty said the number of nuclear weapons on both sides were birds. which would have appeared impossible even if they go. be presented with a fleet of this historic moment the green light has been given six weeks to russia and the united states will exchange information on all. of the nukes stocks and perhaps most important. the pact was backed by both presidents but it still took months of talks and internal disputes until the treaty was ratified by both the country's parliament 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. original text remains untouched. on both sides but. we see that it. started with a reception also on the table at the munich security 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 responsibility for the safety of the other according to maintaining a balance is essential for everyone security and he stressed this is a unique chance to work get to. other. than agreement to discuss the possibility of a joint anti missile shield doesn't automatically mean russia is reading to you in the program which is being drafted without its participation was of course 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 all cliches and we received dividing one that's the message voiced by most here in germany a country was learned from bitter experience what you is all about that's the press that it was there which there were a lot remains to be done to irreversibly overcome the accumulated historical clichés phobias and suspicions of all our 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 on the former. 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 what the security there was that's the nickname this conference has been given by some sense it's a great opportunity for world leaders and top level politicians to share of 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 this time in the case of russia and the united states for the next decade. we are coming to you live from the heart of the russian capital this is our. snow job here in moscow

hostility between the two nations. tensions with iran worse stoked in an unlikely way this week u.s. authorities discovered a book instructing iranian suicide bombers but they found it in the hours on a desert they want to quite knows what it was doing in the middle of nowhere but the u.s. media was quick to make their own conclusions as ati's garniture can reports. a book found in the arizona desert has put america's most watched cable news channel on the high alert fox news alert time new terror fears 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 it was 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 reportedly in point out of the end 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 all bogeyman scratch on the earth was no politician ever lost a. newscaster ever got negative publicity from your own. industry here in the united states 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 rainy morning that has no international terrorist suicide bombings in moscow 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 obvious in the wake of the week release of u.s. secret diplomatic cables despite having vast amounts of material at their disposal
