unsolved at authority at the side of russian british relations. this is actually coming to live from moscow marina joshie hundreds of egyptians remain in cairo's tahrir square demanding an immediate end to military rule that's despite a pledge by the country's army chief to bring forward presidential elections june of next year it follows days of fierce fighting between protesters and security forces claiming at least thirty six lives respond also your reports from cairo. here in tampa square there are several hundred so-called to die hards who remained overnight there's simply going nowhere they reflect the general mood 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 a lot of evidence of the dramatic violence we saw unfolding yesterday the medics and the hospitals reported that they were simply unable to cope with 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 high a televised address for ten minutes and throughout that address people here was shouting no no he did leave down with time trial week so any kind of reforms of any kind of agreement that the military is trying to put forward to protest just a monster is not the exigent people here say that is because the victims by the four major chill president zuma put mubarak back in february two remaining hala the concern that that 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 egyptian media is reporting that mohamed el 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 the total control to make decisions now he is a figure that is much better 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 waist and not the interests of egyptian people. falsely reporting there from cairo brian becker from the anti war coalition and serves as the western powers would rather have a familiar ally of the top and indeed 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 now 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 he might be considered by the american government the best to be available options but the egyptian people want genuine democracy 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 web sites. and it's on you like to watch life for your square and see the latest developments as they happen so you can also visit our you tube channel for more of the updates.

as egyptians lose their lives in the fight for change in their country and western powers have been slow to condemn the violence the u.s. says only is that it's concerned about the excessive force that's been used on protesters correspondent bennett reports the focus of the western allies remains. 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 are turning a blind eye instead setting their sights on pastures new abuses and loss of life you can play with in syria the future of syria now depends upon the ability of all of us to keep pressure on that because of all that we've 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 gobble standards at work . in very good 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 the military structure in egypt. since 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 tyrion trial only to be met by tear gas and bullets protesters now accused 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 munition used against us is easer american or israeli or actually. it was that it's the two of us going to

stores or the bullets all of that and your mission that they have received is the cells in eleven it's caused presumably revolution are used for precinct populations or they are used to kill this revolution for the likes of britain france and america though egypt is no longer a. it's next stop syria the u.k.'s 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 a face the move mirrors similar attempts in egypt and libya president some say clearly should be followed yes to libya becoming a bloodbath and now with egypt showing what it was all along it was no revolutionary it was a complete failure and now people are beginning to to understand it notice that nevertheless mrs clinton and miss rice are continuing to push this bankrupt this credit good model of the cultural revolution the cia people power coup back the

terrorist groups people from 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 the bennetts party london. twenty eight people have reportedly been killed during government raids in syria in the space of one day comes as the u.s. human rights coming down damascus for its eight month 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 us as regime that is my partner has details from new york. but this is 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 a 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 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 and for not reporting there from new york now still to come this hour here on our t.v. claims of double standards well you're wondering whether they have a financial future at all you are grads in brussels going to tighten their belts. poisoning by polonium annabelle. it's now exactly five years since the russian foreign security agent alexander litvinenko died on british soil in a spy saga had a grip global attention and led to
