and sentiment of tens of thousands of people many of those people have gone home but no doubt they will return later in the day just walking around town here now there is a lot of litter and there's lot of evidence of the dramatic violence we saw unfolding yesterday the medics and the hospitals reported that they were simply unable to cope the result of people here is as strong as it was ever last night mohammed tali the head of the supreme council of armed forces the head of the army that is essentially leading this country gave a knife televised address for ten minutes and throughout that address people here was shouting no no you need to leave down with charlie so any kind of reforms and any kind of agreement that the military is trying to put forward she could just as demands is not being accepted people here say that it echoes the attempts by the four major just wasted and those who love good mubarak back in february to remain in power the concern that the protesters here have they don't really believe that

the army will hand over power and that's why they very reluctant to accept any kind of promises that the army is pushing forward in that speech by mohammed turn to our wheat last night he promised that they would the aid and acceptance of the basic nation of his government although he said that it would remain in power until a new government was in place egyptian media is reporting that from the middle baradei the former head of the international atomic energy agency has accepted the post of prime minister that we understand that that acceptance comes with an insistence on his side that he be given coach total control to make decisions now he is a figure that is much based in known in the international community which is another reason why protesters here say that these promises when followed that really it is still an attempt by the military to pull the strings and remain in power mohamed el baradei many here feel represents the interests of the waste and not the interests of egyptian people. falsely reporting there from cairo ryback or from the anti war coalition and serves as their western powers would rather have

a familiar ally at the top and injured despite public demands for change. the united states and britain but principally the united states is looking at a number of options 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. mohamed el baradei he is a familiar face to the west who is recognized by the west 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 clancy might be considered by the american government to be available options but the egyptian people want genuine democracy they don't want an interim

we can play both in syria the future of syria now depends upon the ability of all of us to keep pressure on that because of all the group called in prison bashar al assad to make reforms for all 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 in egypt western god's standards at work par excellence the inveigling libya in order to change the government because of threats against the people. they have put sanctions against some countries because of oppression of civil liberties i think the west basically quite happy to carry on with the military structure in egypt. since president mubarak was forced out nine months ago egypt's been under the rule of this supreme military council thousands of activists

unhappy with the lack of reforms have returned to relieve taria trial only to be met by tear gas and bullets protesters now accuse western nations that were previously supportive of having a hand in the 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 it was a it's the tear gas canisters or the bullets all of these have received it is the souls in eleven it's forced presumably revolution only are used for oppressing lesions or they are used to kill this revolution for the likes of britain france and america though egypt is no longer of the. it's next stop syria the u.k. foreign secretary william hague met syrian opposition groups in london this week and prime minister david cameron's been picked to spearhead an international diplomatic task force. to remove president assad from office the 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 not revolutionary it was a complete failure and now people are beginning to understand it notice that nevertheless mrs clinton and mrs rice are continuing to push this bankrupt discredited model of the color revolution the cia people power who backed off by terrorist troops people from people from the muslim brotherhood the military council in egypt has said it will speed up presidential elections but the protesters that's clearly not enough they haven't forgotten what their revolution was about even if it seems the international community hands are the bennetts r.t. london. beyond human rights committee has agreed on a resolution condemning syria for its eight months crammed down on protesters in

a vote bad by western nations and a number of arab states russia have staying for voting and has been calling for a dialogue between a syrian opposition and president ass's regime i just read a fortnight has 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 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 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 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. now reporting a problem to your now so we can have soured here on r.t. claims of double standards at

a time when millions of europeans are suffering job and cards officials in brussels complain that having to make savings of their own. poisoning by polonium and own. it's now exactly five years since the russian former security agent alexander livni onco died on british soil in a spy saga that gripped global attention it led to a diplomatic spat between moscow and london and its artie's laura laura smith rather reports continues to cause a rift between the two countries five years on and still an immovable thorn in the side of 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 person refuses to hand over the evidence so russia can conduct its own investigation britain insists extradition is the only path to justice russia wouldn't go against its constitution and pass both governments in

a position where it's very difficult i can imagine either side giving you nothing for to this opening question which have been gone through over the last. with morris agreed. on either side really. anywhere near the middle difficult to see how it's going to move forward in longs in libya because we're doing a very there has successfully lobbied for a new wiser ranging inquest into her husband's death look i voice 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 duke of always says he himself was branded a liar for saying the same thing but it's not just the truth it's mostly basing her you're going to unify the belts but she didn't like the position of the british

government who were against widening the investigation as he was in egypt he wasn't operating alone he was acting in accordance with some kind of orders in 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 expensive the british fleet should pay this really do variable marina legal costs could run to one and a half million dollars and international relations have paid a heavy price to. bear 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 this is unfortunate with the key barrier to improve relations between moscow and. the interests of both governments. would be very welcome

a problem could be solved in this case. because you cannot do anything with lugovoy . beyond prosecution if you can move the case forward. and doesn't have immunity. it looks like that person will be to me to. spect he was with it yes and who got voice here at the millennium hotel on the day it's believed he was poisoned he was investigated by german police in connection with traces of polonium that were found in his hamburg apartment but the case was true but that it did despite that report suggest cold tune is moving back into the british police to break following the closure of the criminal case in two thousand and nine got hold of the police evidence against him he doubts they'll be able to pin anything on him this time around either. give evidence at the new hearings by video link to so far as an

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 the end of the day they get a one point eight three rise. and they say it's all a union representing lower paid staff says the media tends to lock them with the fat cats who get most of the e.u. gravy train he wants the highest salaries of those at the talk to be slashed instead the commissioners have privileges which indeed normally stopped in time they 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 further better 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 or. perhaps working ten hours 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 their working conditions or raises eyebrows is the fact that they're complaining at a time when millions of e.u. citizens are bearing the brunt of harsh mistery 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 water through perks to suggest that they take a slightly lower percent. increase is hardly going to break the world to what i'm still union members are adamant they are getting the short end of the stick we are against. you know putting everything on the shoulders of the secretaries we

think that the salary cap is 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. well the financial crisis is europe's most pressing issue but not the only one according to the leader of the freedom party of austria it's called r t that multiculturalism and immigration policies are failing and europe must stop expanding eastwards and watch the full interview next hour but here's a preview. i want you to stay with. your expanding. countries which we know european asian and african nations it would mean the end of year it was in that it would mean an end to the european idea of solutions deals.
