no 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 sort of met with opposition groups and that among those opposition groups it 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 at 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 him and to see what was the position of the government how much it was prepared to meet them halfway and to put the demands of the people across as far as we can gauge the media's on solution but it's not so much that people are fearing more violence it's really the uncertainty of what comes next we witness the various playstation is being held by coptic christians as well as muslims they have come together and they've been praying for the people who died today has been called the day of mass has 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 in some kind of normality the banks were open earlier for three hours there have been some businesses who have 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 saying that the washington the american administration would support a government that is headed but almost sort of many now superman 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 will be anything different to what they've 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 reinforced the feeling on the street that the united states and european powers and the rest of the world leading needs to stay out of egypt and if it is my colleague in india and took a look at the 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 a card to show 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 the egyptian regime for such a long time and in fact they are they do feel regime and now they are talking about divil christian respect the from the right side of this and so obama's speech by the spammers for it could be sitting on the fence so much and most of that i mean is not the same going overboard 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 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 wages in society operates

according to chatham house but the way regimes like mubarak survive. is by making themselves useful. 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. in egypt and it's the worst case scenario so that the minute you can see beyond never the fall of all of which suggests that western countries should stand back and let the egyptian people exercise the sovereignty the president of the united states would call on us to move immediately and instantly 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 american cofa many is 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 to count on us a message that's likely to further destabilize an already deeply unstable possibly was no rabbits or teen. bill with the weekly here on r.t. still to come human rights groups versus george w. bush find out why the full u.s. . of a visit to the land of cheese and chocolate. plus russia rebukes its commercial aviation with a brand new airline that which is just being cleared from the winds we've got the full details in a few minutes here on our team. well sure no authority is all searching for two people from the republic of english at year believed to be connected to the deadly terror attack on dahmer dead at the airport thirty six people were killed and more than one hundred injured in the blast one of moscow's

busiest travel hubs almost two weeks ago it's thought the two men could be linked to the twenty year old who's currently suspected of being the suicide bomber while his body parts were found at the scene but russian investigators say they need time to tell him if he wasn't the culprit meanwhile a video has emerged showing russia's most wanted man modeled threatening an attack on the capital the chechen terrorists went on to promise a year of tears and blood a desire to use katherina over reports many now believe it's his way of claiming responsibility for the airport ballplayer. in that video is standing with two other men both of whom he refers to as his brothers the man on the one side of the cool model appears to resemble the man authorities believed 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 lot of of course has made similar videos before he is 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 dmitry medvedev 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 your 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 as suicide bombers they've also said that they could potentially have identified the men masterminding this terrorist attack that of course the details of that are not revealed a do 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 with aussies company and us out of a bringing us the latest only investigation into the bombing of the at port almost two weeks ago. now the new deal on nuclear arms reduction between russia and the 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 proper reset of relations between the two countries but as always you've got this cannot for ports it's only the beginning of a long road to scrapping cold war era stereotypes. so words put into action a historic exchange of ratification 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 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 by over a third 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 full information on all the strategic facilities 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 original text remains untouched by they way from the way of threats from hopes on both sides but luckily this has all and now we see that it was with 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 others

according to sort of you know i would offer maintaining a balance is essential for everyone security and he stressed this is a unique chance to work together. your snapshot of which 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 or 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 an emerging imbalance of getting rid of old cliches and we're really seeing dividing one that's the message boards by most here in germany a country was learned from bitter experience what being divided is all about that's the part of that 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 a land tick 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 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 that's the nickname this conference has been given by sun since it's a great opportunity for world leaders and top level politicians to share their views on key contemporary issues every year. 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 going off. now it's no joke and moscow scares in there. into the camp. made to shapes and sizes from across the country test themselves and. find out what attracts them just a couple of. former u.s. president george w. bush has canceled a visit to switzerland citing security concerns but human rights groups say they prepared a criminal case against him on charges of authorizing torture and that he simply scared of unrest journalist afshin rattansi believes it's unlikely bush will be held accountable by an international course. my understanding is the sense of a construct situational writes has a two and

a half thousand page document they're releasing in the next twenty four hours in geneva but it's difficult to know where to start with george w. bush because it's an entire car drive of people it's dick cheney it's called rumsfeld is dick cheney's chief of staff we don't have rumsfeld's memoirs this is about illegal wars and so on but this case i think centers around two individuals in particular one of whom i've met cameraman for a contrary satellite t.v. channel who was incarcerated in guantanamo for years and we mustn't forget forty eight year old died a few days ago after being on time for nine years also without charge of course and and tortured i think international law has proved pretty useless when it comes to torture will any of these come to pass to actually indict all these people including of course tony blair here in britain very doubtful and hague won't touch the people that really are responsible for torture in such a major scale and for training tortures of a school of americas and of course we must remember that the obama administration

still is going to open so people are being tortured to this day. ok a check of all the world headlines this hour on to remains tense weeks after the ousted president ben ali left the country to be killed and seventeen others injured indeed to news in town of caffe when police opened fire on protesters around a thousand with the mall 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 say they've played for carrying out their oppressive policy president ben ali he was ousted last month. protesters demanding the resignation of italian premier silvio berlusconi have clashed with police during his villa an inside milan demonstration term law that when police moved in to stop the protesters from breaching the residence with them it became the focus of an investigation i have to

the traumas increase the already high level of hostility between the two make sure it's well those tensions with iran has stoked an unlikely way this week u.s. authorities 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 insanities gani you can report. a book found in the arizona desert has put america's most watched cable news channel on the high alert fox news alert on new terror three years the book was reportedly published in iran and contained information on suicide bombers that much was enough to trigger a 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 the reporter good point out of the band 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 by attacking iran newscaster every got negative publicity from it can't be around it is an industry you're needed states that whenever you have something negative that you want to say about the middle east or about the islamic world you can always attack iran every chance is taken to toss the rain into a stories that has no connection with amateur 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 obvious in the wake of the week he leaks we lease 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 he 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 is being going on for years despite no proof tehran was building nuclear bombs. 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 of being 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 threat 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 as 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 young 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 r.t.e. washington d.c. things you can get more on than to many of the stories on our website at home that's have a look at what else is on offer right now but if this thing is why somebody would
