good or god is a business they still have a very long way to go final more in business in about twenty minutes. than i am the russian capital you're watching r t i'm marina josh welcome to the program thousands of egyptians have remained in cairo's tough three square overnight demanding an immediate and to military rule that's despite an earlier pledge by the country's army chief to bring forward presidential elections to july of next year it's all these days of fierce fighting between protesters and security forces claiming at least thirty six lives correspond policy or has more from cairo . one it's difficult to believe that the numbers had just keep growing the cult is just wailing people have been rioting since the early hours of the smoking and at the same time the shots in

a cries are getting louder and louder or you hit up my music station the people saying eat they calling on mama time trial which was the head of the army here that has been looting this country since slavery to step down now a short time ago mohamed tantawi caved and liable to praise in which he tried to meet some of the protests just a month among the points he made is that it would be a presidential election peaceful cimon extrude he also said that he had accepted the resignation of his interim government but that they would remain in power until such time that a new government was up and running now mohamed el baradei who heads up the political party here and who's also before my head of the international atomic energy agency has indicated that he would be the face to become the next prime minister and be tossed with forming the next government but he says that this is only on condition that he is given absolute control over any decisions he has to make it seems as if this is the way the country's going to move forward and i think

it's worth pointing out that all baradei is a much more popular figure on the international stage in fact before february seventh edition most people have actually not even heard of him apparently also has the support of the waste of the international community and that's something that most people have will take heed of because of course mubarak was criticized for his close ties with the united states so people here are saying that any kind of discourse any kind of discussion any kind of solutions being offered on the going to cheat ought to be taken with suspicion because clearly it will at the end of the day still be the same people pulling the strings as they are reporting there from cairo brian becker from the anti war coalition answer says that western powers would rather have a mill your ally at the top needs of despite the public demands for change. p united states and britain but principally the united states is looking at a number of options there their primary option was to keep mubarak in power forever

or then his sons and that can't be that can't happen right now so they thought then that they would have a military rule that would create those political leaders who were acceptable to the west that's come undone because the military has not let go of the tight grip on power and so now they're looking for plan c. mohammed el baradei he is a familiar face to the west who is recognized by the rest he was the chairman of the i.a.e.a. he was somewhat independent of the united states but not really a severe challenge to the united states in the run up to the iraq war so of course i think he might be considered by the american government the best of the available options but the egyptian people want genuine democracy and they don't want an interim government appointed by those who are really still be institutions of power from the mubarak. well we are closely following the protests in cairo on our website so you can log on to r.t. dot com any time you like what's lie to this from time for your square where

thousands are protesting against military rule and you can also visit our you tube channel for more videos an update. as egyptians lose their lives in a fight for change in their country western powers have been slow to condemn violence the u.s. says only that it's concerned about the excessive force that's been used on protesters as our correspondent advantage reports the focus of the western allies remains elsewhere. egypt descends into chaos once more the first signs of cracks appearing in the arab spring it's been the focus of the world's media spotlight but western leaders turning a blind eye instead setting their sights and pastures new abuses and loss of life to employ if in syria the future of syria now depends upon the ability of all of us to keep pressure on that call them for. to make reforms for

around thirty people have died already in cairo's clashes and it's been all over the international media when this sort of crackdown happened in february received international condemnation what's the difference this time well those in charge any git western gallstone of that work. invaded libya in order to change the government because of threats against the people bring. they have put sanctions against some countries because of oppressions of civil liberties i think the west basically quite happy to carry on with a military structure in egypt that will do deals with president mubarak was forced out nine months ago egypt's been under the rule of the supreme military council thousands of activists unhappy with the lack of reforms have returned to relieve their taria triumph only to be met by tear gas and bullets protesters now accused western nations that were previously supportive of having a hand in

a crackdown but i'm not expecting a quick reaction from the west but we can see that all the ammunition use that against us is these are american or israeli or actually we call you that it's the tear gas canisters or the bullets all the nation that we have received is two cells in eleven it's forced presumably revolution and we are used for pressing lesions or they are used to kill this revolution for the likes of britain france and america egypt is no longer a problem. it's next stop syria the u.k. foreign secretary william hague met syrian opposition groups in london base weak and prime minister david cameron's been picked to spearhead an international diplomatic task force with wanting to remove president assad from office the move mirrors similar attempts in egypt and libya president some say clearly should be followed as to libya becoming a bloodbath and now with egypt showing what it was all along it was no revolution there it was a complete theory and now people are beginning to understand it notice that

nevertheless mrs clinton and miss rice are continuing to push this bankrupt discredited model of the color revolution the people power backed up by terrorist troops people from al qaeda people from the muslim brotherhood the military council in egypt has said it will speed up presidential elections but for protestors that's clearly not enough they haven't forgotten what their revolution was about even if it seems the international community hands are going it's r.t. london still down this hour here in r t claims of double standards at a time when millions of europeans are suffering job and pension cuts officials and brussels complain of having to make savings of their own. the u.s. human rights committee has agreed on a resolution condemning syria for its eight months crackdown on protesters in a vote backed by western nations and a number of arab states russia abstained from voting and has been calling for

a dialogue between the syrian opposition and president regime i didn't read a partner has the details from new york. what this decision illustrates is an increasing amount of symbolic pressure against syria now having said that although this resolution was adopted and supported by one hundred twenty two states it holds no legal weight the resolution does not call for any sanctions what it does is it calls on syria to all human rights violations and abuses and of course on an international level puts the nation against syria. according to the u.n. roughly thirty five hundred people or at least have been killed since the uprisings began eight months ago this resolution however was introduced by germany and it is being seen as the first step the west is taking in an effort to really introduce

the issue of syria into the united nations security council now just last month last month when european powers introduced a draft resolution against the syrian security council russia and china vetoed that resolution arguing that the mistakes that western powers made in libya should not be repeated in syria or russia believes that the syrian authorities and opposition groups need to come to a point of negotiation and peaceful dialogue to come up with an ultimate solution that would be best for this internal conflict and according to russia russia and other countries i should mention the security council believe that any outside military intervention into syria should not happen and is considered unacceptable. reporting their poisoning by polonium and a political outcry it's now exactly five years since the russian security agent alexander litvinenko died on british soil and

a spy saga gripped global attention it led to a diplomatic spat between moscow and wanted smith reports. to cause a rift between the two countries. clive years on and still an immovable thought in the side of ross a british relations moscow weren't extradite britain's chief suspect in the two thousand and six murder of alexander litvinenko because andrey lugovoy is a russian citizen and britain refuses to hand over the evidence so russia can conduct its own investigation britain insists extradition is the only path to justice russia weren't to go against its constitution and past the government in a position where it's very difficult can imagine either side giving in within fourteen of the seventy questions you know which mean gone through over the last five years. with more of the green. either side really.

anywhere near that little difficult to see how to move forward in london little young because we do marina has successfully lobbied for a new wide ranging inquest into her husband's death look i've always says he welcomes the news and has offered to give evidence by a video link he also welcomes marina because admission that her husband was working as a consultant for the british secret service is a look of always says he himself was branded a liar for saying the same thing but it's not just the truth it's most of a singer you have we're hearing about it but she didn't like the position of the british government who are against widening the investigation as he was in egypt he wasn't operating alone he was acting in accordance with some kind of orders some kind of command structure so the british secret services recently are nearby. so in her mind they should take responsibility and that means paying the lawyers who are expanse of the british legion really bristles with

a good variable. marina because legal costs could run to one and a half million dollars and international relations have paid a heavy price to the litvinenko affair lurks in the background of every diplomatic visit and business deal between russia and britain and the new hearings in which accusations from both sides will be heard in open court unlikely to mend fences which is unfortunately the key barrier can prove relations between moscow. and the interests of both governments. would be very welcome if this problem can be solved in this case could be solved because you can't do anything with lugovoy. you can move the case forward somebody else doesn't have immunity. case against him it looks like that person will be to meet she coughed formally

a suspect he was with this video and lugovoy here at the millennium hotel on the day it's believed lipping and co was poisoned he was investigated by german police in connection with traces of polonium that were found in his hamburg apartment but the case with the lack of evidence despite that report suggest hopetoun is moving back into the british police to break following the closure of the criminal case in two thousand and nine cough to got hold of the police evidence against him he doubts they'll be able to pin anything on him this time around either. will give evidence at the new hearings by video link to so far as an interested party five years on since litvinenko died there is still a lot of interested parties ready to put their case but there's little sign of anyone being held accountable laura smith r.t. london. well our news stories are much more harvey of online on our website our

themselves our spot attests are cilia has more. this has become a familiar sight in the streets of europe symptomatic of the euro crisis and now it seems the tide of discontent is rising within the plush halls of the vast european commission bureaucracy the. staff unions are threatening to go on strike after rejecting a proposal by the commission or the e.u. civil service to save a one billion euros over seven years by reducing pensions increasing working hours from thirty seven point five to forty a week raising the retirement age limiting pay rises and cutting five percent of jobs but you know they get a one point eight rewrite. and they say it's a union representing lower paid staff says the media tends to lump them with the fat cats who get most of the e.u. gravy train he wants the highest salaries of those at the top to be slashed instead

the commissioners have privileges which the woman stopped in time. do not contribute to their pensions we pay eleven point six percent and they do not contribute anything but some politicians are astonished at the notion of a strike by officials they claim are featherbed it while ordinary workers are losing their jobs and face hardship they get excellent health care free education for their children to private schools here wonderful pension deal and you wonder people listening to this at home looking at the prep work internals a day these guys are grumbling because they're being asked to work eight hours a day while they're perfectly within their rights to contest the proposed changes to the working conditions were raises eyebrows is the fact that they're complaining at a time when millions of e.u. citizens are bearing the brunt of partial sturdy measures imposed by the very same institutions they work for not to mention the twenty three million who don't even

have jobs to speak of to remove one or two perks to suggest that they take a slightly lower percentage increase. it's hardly going to break the world to what i'm still union members are adamant they're getting the short end of the stick. you know putting everything on the shoulders of the secretaries we think. the sooner we got his much too high and we would like to close that. many of us would be ready to pay for it but whether european taxpayer share the same willingness to sustain the benefits of their civil servants in brussels at a time when they themselves are forced to accept a sturdy measures is another question tesser cilia r.t. brussels while the financial crisis is europe's most pressing issue but not the only one according to the leader of the freedom party of austria he's told r.t. that multiculturalism and immigration policies are failing and that europe must stop expanding its warts you can watch the full interview next hour but here's
