from a studio here in central moscow this is twenty four hours a day the revolution in egypt has sparked an avalanche of anti-government protests across the middle east it's a strategically vital region for the u.s. which is now trying to balance its approach to the demonstrations while pushing its own agenda middle east correspondent paula slim has the latest. in yemen for the fifth consecutive day violence broke out between pro and anti-government demonstrators it happened a number of cities a number of people were injured and analysts have gone so far as to say that the next few weeks a critical the president abdullah abdullah saleh who has been in power for more than thirty years we witnessed also in the plane two protesters killed while the violence happened in a funeral procession that was mocking the death of one protester yesterday monday and here to the violence is almost unabated between pro and anti government demonstrators the problem of the flame is that you have

a seventy percent majority that is shiite and you have a small sunni monarchy and met is what the confrontation is over we witnessing violence or surge in iran today members of parliament called for the execution of two leaders of the opposition parties they charged them with orchestrating these anti-government demonstrations on monday there were protests across the rabid fans of coalitions of people taking to the streets there and the lady revolutionary guard used batteries and tear gas injuring a number of people and killing one person not egypt too has not seen an end to the upheaval there the parliament has been disbanded the constitution is frozen while the army that is in control says it is reworking a new constitution the strikes in egypt are continuing and the army insistently calling for calm a lot of concern from the united states and israel that and other people watching the developments in the middle east the united states does not have

a stronghold in iran and that is why we've seen harsh words from the u.s. secretary of state hillary clinton she called the rayney a regime could be critical she said that on the one hand president mahmoud after the image at head ready behind the protesters on the streets but not when he's witnessing it in his own country he's used hosh violence against them this is a big. and for the united states what to do with the rand and at the same time it's very nervous that as it watches events in egypt where it supported presumably for thirty years it now has to redefine its role there and also send out a message to other regimes in the region that it has a bet that it will not leave them in the dark as it did many say in terms of mubarak not israel is very cautious about what is happening certainly is concerned more long term that they could be some kind of a radian state some kind of islamic republic now much closer on its borders than is in rand paul is live and the author research agency believes the u.s.

is pursuing its financial and political interests in the middle east. clearly the united states will support anything that will promote what they want to be all regime change in iran especially considering that you know rand is such a powerful country from the point of view not only of its potential military and also its potential with oil but also its potential as being a theocracy we're in the you slimy worlds of the dollars based in tehran hold great sway over the literally hundreds of millions of muslims so whatever happens in rand is far more important than even what happened with saddam hussein in iraq we have to understand that what the united states now i believe is trying to achieve is a way to promote change in a way that will facilitate things for them the best instrument they have to control the country is so full democracy because a little they call it democracy it is basically a vote counting system handled by the mass media we get the guy who wins whether it

be a president or prime minister or a senator or a deputy is that the want to counter with all the support of the money power whether it be for his counting for media and t.v. time and so forth so for example in a bunch of argentina democracy is the best way they have to control the country against the people's interest and i think when they hear that they are promoting democracy in egypt i tremble for the egyptians because it was going to be a democracy how long the brand as it was promoted in argentina horror of horrors or those sort of throughout latin america it will only help to support the long term objectives of this global power structure operated from europe and from the united states and not the actual interest of we the people to say that in a very local and generalized manner. still to come for you this speaking out on multiculturalism can land you in a courtroom in austria. we have to respect. it

and we have to ask them to. help them. find out what happened to a free speech activists who didn't agree with this viewpoint and proclaimed multiculturalism a failure. the visit of russia's foreign minister to london has seen a promise of stronger future cooperation with the u.k. it's the first high level visit since ties deteriorated following the death of former federal security service agent and xander litvinenko in london in two thousand and six the british foreign secretary said disagreements between moscow and london should not stop them from working together. has more from london. we have seen a series of meetings today which have really focused on the positive points in what has become a rocky relationship between russia and the u.k. and because of that a lot of what was talked about was economic ties and trade ties or trade russia you came up with the round billion dollars and russia as one of the u.k.'s most important trading partners foreign minister lavrov outlined six priorities for

improving the trade relationship he talked about finance he talked about working together in the nano tech sector energy efficiency of course one of these big projects coming up for us here is the in impacts so cooperating on olympic infrastructure strengthening the small and medium business in russia and also increasing the business environment in general they also talked a bit about modernizing communication links between london and moscow this is obviously a lover off first visit to london in this particular official capacity let's hear what he said about those communication ties are they looking at him. it's my first visit to london an invitation to government. relations based on partnership interest economic cooperation between the countries on the.

british prime minister. it's an important element of our communications that's meant to take a. little laughter off talked about how important u.k. was its part in it with the e.u. and also partnership that it has in dialogue with nato and on improving european security and william hague the british foreign secretary also underlined the importance of that relationship let's hear him country strong to see patient steady improvement in relations it will take. giant leaps it is a very measured. this welcome visit is an important steady improvement in relations which we initiated on our side when the coalition government came into office. working relationship. issues global issues it is undoubtedly. trade but it does seem that in the past every

attempt has been made to put this relationship back on track has been deemed railed in some way and the latest example of that is new calling the guardian correspondent who was refused entry to russia this month there was something wrong with his accreditation and that's why he wasn't allowed back into the country but of course that's not the only thing we're really this relationship was the murder of alexander litvinenko in london in two thousand and six and the british law enforcement main suspect is under a new gulf war who is now a dual deputy and it's against russia's constitution to extradite him that's something that the british have been calling for for some time now but it hasn't happened also there are forty people around about living here in the u.k. who are wanted for crimes in russia and refusal to extradite them as well the most notable. bodies but it's all ski the russian tycoon and also. the former chechen need and alongside the bilateral relationship that these two countries have and are

trying to improve there's obviously that cooperation on the international stage and in terms of that they have issued a joint statement on afghanistan which talks about the transfer of power in afghanistan also talked about troop withdrawal set atop assessing a sort of loose timetable for that and also the fight against the production of drugs in afghanistan which is a huge problem with russia in terms of transport routes they also draw on nuclear issues russia has been an important negotiator with iran in terms of its nuclear program. said that rather than introducing the sanctions iran should join the. ration tree see and also try to become part of. that and only that will convince the world this iran has no hostile nuclear ambitions that it does indeed once a nuclear program that domestic. auntie's more and they're reporting on the visit of russian foreign minister sergey lavrov to london. russia is taking new measures

in its fight against terrorism in the special operation five militants were killed in the north caucasus region three policemen died and three were injured in the ensuing gun battle auntie's katrina czar of reports. a number of terrorists were surrounded by a local law enforcement a gun battle in shoot and which five militants were killed one is supposedly on the run and this of course is just the latest installment in the ongoing battle against terrorism in russia specifically in the volatile caucasus region another suicide bomb was detonated in a village in the republic of the guest on a woman who walked up to a military outpost and detonated a suicide belt with a bomb of course killing herself killing one security officer and injuring many others one of the a suicide blast that also took place in that same village in the guest on that was

a car that was detonated by a suicide bomber he himself was in the car of course and died on locations russian authorities specifically the russian president dmitry medvedev has ordered security forces to be stepped up a lot not just a notch on all major transport hubs in russia as of course including airports train stations metro stations the investigation into moscow's airport bombing is still ongoing but we do know that authorities have now managed to confirm the identity of the suicide bomber and facts are coming out as soon as the identity of the suicide bomber was established the authorities or so on now gathering more and more information not only about the man himself but also about all of his accomplices who helped him put together the detonating device and who actually made edges and made sure that he got to the airport that he detonated the device everyone and anyone of course who came into contact with this so side is now under even further

scrutiny from the security forces the president ordering heavier police presence and a lot more devices such as metal detectors to be implemented on train stations for control to be doubled at airports and that of course is being implemented as we speak the full effect of those measures is of course yet to take place as it is quite a serious amount of work for the security forces. i was. reporting on russia's fight against terrorism by the way. twenty four hours a day with a website. right now. first simulate. an experiment replicating a mission to the red planet. hollywood. movie you can. see trouble at a cinema you. would

to russia to help this endangered species. the controversial debate over multiculturalism in europe has now taken a new twist as more migrants free their troubled countries in search of stability and security europe is giving them the cold shoulder more than five thousand arrived in italy in this past week and its interior minister claims they could jeopardize the institutional and social structures of the country in the past four months the leaders of western europe three largest democracies germany britain france which declared multiculturalism a failure the model free speech activists in austria who criticize it has gone on trial for speaking out against religious groups the charges of inciting hatred and

violence were dropped she was found guilty of denigrating religious symbols of all fiza preaching the case and claim she should not be prosecuted for expressing her views. of a looks at why some are free to speak out while others. like a european citizen peacefully debating islam with a muslim is nothing unusual in a march a cultural country like france but it's a topic not always discussed in such gentle fashion buys you not to burn the koran about your reading. about studying what islam stands for will be learning how to play to know your enemy elisabeth's supper to chill has been on trial and of course on charges of making what is described as a hate speech against islam a left we all strand magazine recorded and published a speech at one of his seminars lending or. i have nothing against people who want

to practice their faith. but i would like them to do this in the privacy of their own homes your ideas she says are nothing new and when europe's political elite express them they are not prosecuted for the same views multiculturalism has failed this is nothing new and my group and i have been saying this for years now all of a sudden. and all the. come out of hiding and agree with us i don't know why but elizabeth somebody each will proponents say she crossed the line here a speech is up raged not only the muslim community but also made. it's not a matter of free speech that i can spread hatred about large groups of society you know we have to respect individuals in our society and we have to ask them to integrate and we have to help them to integrate yet european leaders such as german

chancellor angela merkel french president nicolas sarkozy and british prime minister david cameron say multiculturalism in europe isn't working there are huge muslim communities but frequently such as in all strata they leave in their own areas a physical study of non integration there is this should extend vienna is known as a little stumble people here speak their native language they prepare their national dishes and wear the clothes which they are used to and this is exactly what hell is about subject wall found here a fellow like south taking a stance against self segregation a topic which was once taboo is now at the top of the european political agenda with multiculturalism now open to multi criticism from some of the continent's most influential police believe we've yet to see how their views might fully enclosed debate on the ground and the future shape of you consider their children our team
