with a sense of pride showing the bandages that are a sign of the violent clashes we saw until late monday on the sway of jaime not so many people at the moment although there are ambulances that has been passing their motorcycles carrying injured people so even at this early hour violence has broken out but we were kissing on the side of the army is an attempt to cleanse the square of people and what they have been doing is almost working their way systematically from street to street that leads to this way and that is why many of the clashes are not here in the central part of this way but in the streets leading to it what we saw last night is that when people finish work when they finish school they come here at the same time at school when child hears today for a million people to turn out on the streets of cairo today tuesday so we are likely not only to see those those numbers but also is an expectation that they could be violence today late monday the the cabinet announced its rizieq nation now the

latest word we have on that is that the ministry is looking at it hasn't it responded we understand that there are emergency talks being held by the military council to discuss how they will react and that there was no consensus on that when that announcement was made here in town his where there was a loud cheer the chant was god is great people here certainly believe that the resignation of the cabinet is a step in the right direction it's a cabinet that was appointed by the army because people here want is the military to go one step further and not only to have its cabinet resign but also for the military and the generals themselves to step down the goal here really is to quote people i've been talking to to finish the revolution that started back in february some of the criticisms being leveled at this interim military council is that it hasn't done enough to hand over power it hasn't implemented. forms at a pace anywhere near what people here were hoping for i mean just some of the demands people are saying that it's leading what they've called a counter revolution and by that they mean that the military council has proposed

constitutional changes that they disagree with they say that these kind of constitutional changes will ensure that the minute she retains power even after it hands over to civilian government that they've also been made a presidential elections and to late two thousand and twelve two thousand and thirteen so in essence what people want is for this revolution that was supposed to herald and new egypt in for that revolution to achieve its goals because they are reporting there from cairo british labor m.p. jeremy corbin believes change is unlikely in the country unless the west stops supporting the military rulers they are. it's western double standards work. very good in order to change the government because of threats against the people. they have put sanctions against some countries because of oppressions of civil liberties ok supply rain sorry radio as he prayed in. bahrain in order to protect the molecule the case i'm sorry the radio and mass incarceration of cuban rights
2:05 am
and no intervention i think the west basically quite happy to carry on the military structure in egypt if you feel certain that is really the hold of any new government coming in the challenges the authority of the creek is going to have a huge it seems to me the brush has been even before the elections taking place in the west has to wake up to come out on the one hand to deal with kingdoms and take the ships of the press human rights and at the same time pretend to be on the side of the demonstrators democracy and human rights of the people of course is going to do so i think it is reality we've got to say it's time for the military in egypt to step aside despite all the weapons and everything they've been fed over the past few decades by the worst and more horrors of the protests that are once again shaking egypt visit our website egyptian army supported leave inspired by the so-called efficient police response to the alpha i will street movement in america

2:08 am
this seeing that and invasion is on the table and israel of course constantly threatening to attack i mean if you really want to get a country to get a nuclear weapon then just keep threatening it with attack the sanctions will probably have a negative effect on the u.s. goals of trying to drive a wedge between people in their government because people get so angry at the same actions and see them as a threat so i think what you'll see in iran is probably something similar with the rallying people to their to their government and to the you know nationalistic feelings when they're under attack from countries like the united states and israel. the world could be standing out across this of a third world war and nuclear annihilation if any action is taken against iran a clear warning from former u.s. senator and. you could watch his full interview next hour right here is a preview. this whole ginning up for war with iran very

2:14 am
we've seen happen in such a crisis has seemed to a lot of people very very confusing do you think this sense of economic and political games this. is the tides take it back and give the decision to the people here this is affecting go through the wrong sort of around the. process. and those who would presumably because they were there was a bit. tappan dres suggestion of a referendum is followed by his sharp exit eventually people are going to have to be asked what they want despite strong euro same rhetoric that there's an alternative to being inside the euro it's become increasingly clear that there is and always has been a choice it's about time that people were allowed to make one people are afraid in the block me every day they are saying to them that look if you don't accept what

2:16 am
neither for the other countries of the eurozone it is a lack of democratic legitimacy not only with prime minister that it never has been elected but the right to impose us policies that are completely out of starts with a majority view of the population that is the key not all the case or likely democratic it's a good message but not so sure that india has with the old police because the party system is completely bankrupt completely discredited it unfortunately would look to get a value of political life in the this political have been a do not be of the group that pick one without any kind of democratic and for you to go into the machine so this counting one period of what i deem was a problem with the is not going to last both because all this is meant ineffective and exactly because they love any kind of approval of the electorate also have a program a safe return home a trio spacemen arrive back in or near

2:18 am
catching bullets flying from the machine gun we suggest eradicating narcotic plants altogether as long as there are opium poppy fields there will be trafficking as simple as that but the u.s. and other nato countries have no intention to eradicate afghan poppy fields once and for all they say afghans need opium poppies to survive. analysts point out the inconsistency of such an approach by arguing that because afghan peasants don't want to grow potatoes instead of puppies and helias of people worldwide have to die another inconsistency. with the us together with the colombian government eradicates two hundred thousand hectares of coke of course is a year in afghanistan only two thousand hectares of poppy fields are being eradicated one hundred times less apart from the refusal to get rid of the poppies there is the alleged interest of international banks in dirty money their car ticks have nearly as much air in the total world trade as oil and gas the head of
