are certainly heated up here we are witnessing the same scenes we saw yesterday with ambulances rushing in and out there is a makeshift clinic on the floor just to the right of me there there are one and cheered up his tending to injured people there are motorbikes ferrying be injured forwards and backwards and from what we understand the clashes of coconuts in the same place where they were yesterday that is in the bahamas which street not far from here it links tough his square with the interior ministry building at this stage it does seem we're going to see a repeat of that a lot of the violence we witnessed yesterday now people are arriving we are witnessing people coming in there hundreds i would say easily at this moment this civil hundred people here they seem to not have taken any kind of heat or any kind of encouragement from the words last night from mohammed khatami the head of the supreme council of the armed forces in a ten minute ally of television address he spoke to the nation he urged protesters here to be calm and he said that they would be real change would come about but

certainly standing here in town his way the mood and the anger is as apparent as ever people saying that they not going to anywhere until the army itself steps down and that any kind of promises of any kind of statements from to entire week and the rest of the generals are really just addressing the surface that cosmetic changes nothing really fundamental. of her as we know their parliament elections will be held next monday as they have received the green light from the army genius who has promised work or reform as well but what are the chances actually that the military will make way for an elected civilian government. or what the tally promised in his address last night was that first of all as you say they would be these parliamentary elections on monday that they would go ahead as planned at the same time he also said that come june and next year they would be presidential elections and that by july they would be real change instigated the kind of deadline. it's

are not good enough for people here they want to see change and they want to see that change now and tell me also the posed a bit random that people would be able to have a say on the kind of changes they want to see implemented and he also said that he had accepted the resignation of the interim government that he had appointed but that this government would remain in power until a new government was stablished and was running now mohamed el baradei the former head of the international atomic energy agency has indicated that he is prepared to form this new government and act as prime minister that he has before would be conditioned that it must be without any kind of outside interference but all of this is not enough people here on the square as i mentioned earlier they want to see the army itself step down anything that's been done on the level of the interim government is simply insufficient fold in the new hero is one of anger the new one the mood here is one of people saying that they're going to complete this revolution and as i walk around the square and talk to protestors many of them expressed with grace that they need to remain to on the square and tell the

revolution back in savior we achieved its goals so certainly that is what they feel they do here today. thanks very much for bringing us this update from cairo ryan better from the anti war coalition and serve as the western powers would rather have a familiar ally at the top and injured despite 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. mohamed el baradei he is a familiar face to the west he 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 for the united states in the run up to the iraq war so of course i think clancy might be considered by the american government the best of the 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 website so log onto our feet up on to watch the life of the square and see the latest developments as they happen and you can also visit our you tube channel or videos and dates. 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 so 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 are turning a blind eye instead setting their sights on pastures new abuses and loss of life. in syria the future of syria now depends upon the ability of all of us to peep pressure on them but we have called them. 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. in very good libya in order to change the government because of threats against the people see they have put

sanctions against some countries because of oppression of civil liberties i think the west basically quite happy to carry on with a military structure in egypt that will do deals of that 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 triumph 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 worst but we can see that all the ammunition use that again is there's these are american or israeli or actually it's all you who was it it's the tear gas canisters or the bullets all of the have received it is two cells in eleven it's caused presumably revolution and they are used for oppressing populations or they are used to kill this revolution for the likes of britain france and america egypt is no longer a problem. if the next stop for syria the u.k.

foreign secretary william hague that 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 tense 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 revolutionary it was a complete theory and now people are beginning to to understand it notice that nevertheless mrs clinton and miss rice are continuing to push this bankrupt discredited model of the color revolution with people power backed up by terrorist troops 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 has been it's artsy london twenty eight people have reportedly been killed during government raids in syria in the space of one day it comes as the u.n. civil rights committee condemn damascus for its eight month crackdown on protesters in the banned by western nations and a number of arab states russia abstained from voting and has been calling for dialogue between the syrian opposition and president assad's regime it is raining right now 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 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 less 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 the 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. york so look on in the program this hour claims of double standards while europeans wonder whether the absolute future at all well for your crabs in brussels moan about having to tighten their belts. poisoning by polonium and a political. five years since the russian former security agent alexander litvinenko died on british soil and a spy saga gripped global expansion it led to a diplomatic spat between moscow and london as artie's laura's mess with words iraq continues to cause a rift between the two countries five years on and still an immovable fold in the side of rousseau protest relations mosco wouldn'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 wouldn't go against its constitution and past both governments in a position where it's very difficult to converge on either side giving anything along fourteen of the show been in question you know which we've gone through over the last five years. with fixed roles agreed. on either side really. anywhere near the middle difficult to see how do you move forward in london let me on because we don't have a reader has successfully lobbied for a new writer ranging inquest into her husband's death look i've always said he welcomes the news and has offered to give evidence via a video link he also welcomes marina because it mission that her husband was

working as a consultant for the british secret service is look i've always says he himself was branded a liar for saying the same thing but it's not just the truth it's most of basing her and you have the younger brother else because you didn't like the position of the british government who were against widening the investigation as he was an agent he wasn't operating a lawman he was acting in accordance with some kind of orders and some kind of command structure so the british secret service as we saw her nearby cool still as death so in her mind they should take responsibility and that means paying the lawyers who are expensive the british streets would be this was really a good idea. we really mean yes 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 to climatic 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
