government's stance that president mubarak cannot step down despite the put the man 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 two men met with opposition groups and that among those opposition groups was the muslim brotherhood the muslim brotherhood is banned here with 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 when to go and meet with them and to see what was the position of the government how much it was prepared to do to meet them halfway and to put the demands of the people across as far as we can gauge the need is one solution but it's not so much that people are fearing more violence it's really the uncertainty of what comes next today sunday we've met we've witnessed various precisions being held by 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 pushing 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 in some kind of normality the banks were open earlier for free for three hours there have been some businesses you've opened 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 said that the washington the american administration would support a government that is headed by almost sort of man 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 and people prefer him possibly to mubarak but they certainly don't believe that a government headed by. him would be anything different to what they seen at the

moment his nickname is mr torture because of the position he's 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 president obama starts today 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 bind them and caught the show by 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 three

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 this if you regime for such a long time and in fact they are they do feel regime and now they are talking about democracy and respect the for the rights of this into obama's speech i want. couldn't sit on the fence so much and most of that i mean it is not the same going overboard are 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 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 society operates according to chatham house and the way regimes like survive. is by making themselves useful. to do west so they have to convince the world that. if they leave it'll be the muslim brotherhood. in egypt. it's the worst case scenario so the. minute you can see beyond never really fall or all of which suggest that western countries should stand back and let the egyptian people exercise their sovereignty the president of the united states would call 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 steve chase 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 this approach is conspicuous in its absence it sends a message to friends and foes alike in the region when the going gets tough to count on us a message that's likely to further destabilize an already deeply unstable part of the was a majority. prefers the son of mohammed about andi 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 and 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 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 gyptian 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 to meet in these countries but they also know that an independent egypt independent jordan and independent arabia being so to arabia 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. professor from the university of ted where you are with the weekly here on r.c. still to come america's media is turning up and down. it is the industry your leader in states that whenever you have something negative that you want to say about the middle east moment world you can always if you run. the

frenzy over the laces claims of a mounting threat from islamic state both what's the truth behind the hype. plus rush grieving it's coming actually a nation with a brand new airline which is just being clear from the launch we've called the colby's held in a few minutes here on our set. rational thora he's asserting for two people from the republic of english believed to be connected to the deadly terror attack on down the dead of the airport thirty six people were killed and more than one hundred injured in the blast at one. busiest travel hubs almost two weeks ago it's the two men could be linked to the twenty year old who's currently suspected of being the suicide bomber when his body parts were found at the scene but russian investigation say time didn't tell him and if he wasn't a culprit meanwhile the video has the russians most wanted man who will model

threatening out of time on the capital the chechen terrorists when told to promise to. and is on his company over reports many now believe it's his way of claiming responsibility for the bombing. in that video is standing with two other men both of whom he refers to as 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 is russia's most wanted terrorist and a leader of a terrorist organization 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 met 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. terrorist organizations are controlling those that they set up to suicide 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 a do they know that 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. well that was aussies katherina as are bringing out the nations on the investigation into the bombing of moscow's domodedovo airport almost. now the new deal on nuclear arms reduction between russia and the us has come into force nearly a year it was signed by the two countries presidents the treaty known as the new start being held as a proper we set up relations between the two countries but as ours is you got a good enough report saying the beginning of a long road to scrapping cold war era. words put into action a historic exchange of ratification documents and the news today arms reduction treaty between moscow and washington is officially in force and when it comes to

the button that has worried the most over the years the one that would unleash nuclear destruction the day we take another step to ensure it will never be pushed . to last for the next ten years the treaty said to reduce the number of nuclear weapons on both sides over a third and an outcome which would have appeared impossible even a decade ago i think we will be presented with this historical moment the green light has been given in around six weeks to russia and the united states will exchange for information on all. and in two months they will resume regular check ups of the new stocks and perhaps most importantly their reduction the pact was backed by both presidents but it still took months 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 regional text remains untouched to remember they were ok for the way of threats from hopes on both sides but luckily this is all or were and now. we see that it was with the start treaty that we started the reception was 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 others according to the view i would offer maintaining a balance is essential for everyone security and he stressed this is a unique chance to work together. and if 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 russia will have to compensate like it or not with an emerging imbalance of getting rid of old cliches and we're really seeing dividing one that's the message voiced by most here in germany a country which learned from bitter experience what being divided is all about that's the proof that it was there which there were a lot remains to be done to irreversibly overcome the accumulated historical cliches phobias and suspicions of all our countries need to follow the principle of the indivisibility of security we are ready to follow serious collective work in the key area of year in global policy the time has come to take a choice between common strategic interests an immediate political expediency. but clearly not everyone is able to get rid of all the stereotypes we are proceeding with because of the threat we face from iran not from the soviet union. when

you look from the former. this meeting in munich is fast becoming a major stage for people to look forward among other issues dominating the talks were the current 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 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 of their views on key contemporary issues every year this forum reveals the true direction of global politics for the new future and this time in the case of russia and the united states for the next decade you've got this kind of orgy. and now it's no joke in moscow skiis in their thousands slide into the capital in all

they can just to shake and scientists from across the country test themselves in honey and skin merit but find out what a translator. well some other stories making headlines around the world to mishear remains tense after weeks weeks after the president ben ali left the country two people were killed and seventeen others injured in the two missing in town of care when police opened fire on protesters around a thousand were demanding the resignation of the local police chief who they claim abused a woman from the local community many in the country remain distrustful of police who they blame for carrying out the repressive policy of president ben ali who was ousted last month. the indian navy has seized more than twenty pirates and rescued two dozen hostages from the hijackers thai fishing boat it happened off the southwestern coast of india will now all be taken to mumbai and

hundred a virtual foresees pirates mainly from somalia have been highly absent in the indian ocean in recent years and three tiny vessels were reportedly captured last year. thirty five homes have been destroyed and hundreds of others evacuated as far as rage in western australia the blazes were found by a massive slightly strong east of the country on friday psychoanalyse also exacerbated the flooding that continues to affect the eastern region they've been the country's worst decades killing thirty five people and calls and billions of dollars in damage. three americans accused of spying and illegally entering iran have pleaded not guilty on the first day of their trial and to run they were arrested last year while hiking near the iran iraq border the hikers insist that they didn't cross the border and if they did it was by accident but around says their spies working for the u.s.

the trial has increased the already high level office to see between the two nations. well those tensions with iran with an unlikely way this week you get us all discovered a book instructing iranian suicide bombers in the hours in the desert well no one quite knows what it was doing in the middle of nowhere but the u.s. media were quick to make their own conclusions and. can report. a book or found in the arizona desert has put america's most watched cable news channel on the high alert fox news alert i knew terror a few years the book was reportedly published in iraq 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'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 reportedly 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 boogie man the biggest threat on earth no politician ever lost. no newscaster ever got negative publicity from your own it is an industry here 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 posse ran into a story that has no connection with an amateur like this suicide bombings in moscow sakin to help us in places like iran to get more russian cooperation with al qaeda in 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 he leaks release of u.s.

secret diplomatic cables despite having vast amounts of material at their disposal to troops from the new york times chose to go biggest on e ran with a four page article alone focusing on the country but the demonize they should have iran is not new in the us media has been going on for years despite no proof tehran was building nuclear bombs stage people are out to kill us i feel that this is the most dangerous country in. the world do you think the world understands how evil this regime is a nuclear iran can pass on nuclear military capabilities to terrorist organizations so why is america sitting here like apache 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 landstuhl 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 spread 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 a rant a bit of news about a suspicious iranian book in the middle of nowhere is nothing but is the news reporter pointed out in isolation this is just a piece of information we don't maybe know months from now maybe a year from now you'll hey remember that poor yeah that's how i look at news very often it's cumulative as far as the viewers are concerned fear is also a cumulative get a check on our team from washington d.c. . well this week. would have been the exit but they overplayed the president but as yeltsin he was at the helm jay in the country's first time going instead to

democracy to the forward of the union president advent of unveiled a monument to russia's first new day his hometown of the accompanying book in the heroes he praised yeltsin of the sticking to the democratic party for a tough time in the country's history for years to death russians still debate his legacy and his impact on russia's future and while some praise his attempts to promote civil liberties of his blame him for the corruption and economic suffering of the time. now the mayor of ukraine's capital kiev has been missing for months so now the prime minister is demanding someone finds him one local official has reassured ukrainians that shared in the via ski is alive and well but that's not enough for the government. investigates the mystery. meaning if agree that over the past six months ukraine's capital has become a bad place to live in but locals are bewildered as to who should take the credit
