the same scenes we saw yesterday with and units is rushing in and out there is a makeshift clinic there are one and two doctors tending to injured people human rights groups on the planting that the police and security officers used a new kind of tear gas that was not in line with ordinary crowd control procedures i can certainly tell you that been fortunate to get most of yesterday it is the strongest to get out of experience and it's completely blind people people who are running for cover people who had been under blankets and against buildings and wiping the eyes trying to get rid of it and some up understand such as a folk not in the same place where they were yesterday that is in the one hundred one which street not far from here at least touched 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 rioting we are witnessing people coming in their hundreds i would say easily at this moment to several 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 drive television address he spoke to the nation he urged protesters here to be calm and he said that there would be a real change would come about now mohamed el baradei the former head of the international atomic energy agency has indicated that he is prepared to fullness the government to act as prime minister but he has put forward the transition that it must be without any kind of outside interference to what is this is not enough for people here on the square as they want to see the army itself step down anything that's been done on the level of the interim government is simply insufficient for them. from the coalition says that western powers would rather have a familiar talk in egypt despite public change. the 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 are acceptable to the west that's come on down 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 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 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 the institutions of power from the mubarak. now it's time for you to get involved with us here and also you want to know what will you think about the unstable situation in egypt if you just

simply head over to one web site r.t. dot com you can get involved in our latest poll here's how most of you have voting right now today we're asking how do you think the west should react to the latest bloodshed in egypt as you can see the numbers here so almost half of you say they should react with stony silence over a quarter think the west should should respond with a no fly zone and a bombing campaign twenty one percent believe that tough sanctions and threats of actions would be the only best option and a minority say the west should respond with condemnation and distrust to go on like r.t. dot com. has 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 that it's concerned about the excessive force that's being used on protesters. but it reports the focus off the west for now remains else where. 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 past just the abuses and loss of life. in syria the future of syria now depends upon the ability of all of us to keep pressure on them because of all called on president bush 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 standards at work. in very good in libya in order to change the government because of threats against the people of garci 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 that will do to your sort of since president mubarak was forced out nine months ago and egypt's been under the rule of this a pretty military council thousands of activists unhappy with the lack of reforms have returned to relive their tyrion triumph only to be met by tear gas and pullets 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 ammunition used against us is these are american or israeli or actually was it it's the tear gas canisters or the bullets all the ammunition the behaviors the of that is the cells in eleven it's caused presumably revolution and they are used for precinct populations or the are used to kill this revolution for the likes of britain france and america egypt's no law. problem it's next stop syria and you case 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 with one aim to remove the presence of sad 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 or now people are beginning to understand it notice that nevertheless this is clinton and this race are continuing to push this bank rough discredited model of the color revolution the cia people power coup backed up by a 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 the bennetts party london. twenty eight people have reportedly been killed during a government raise in syria although in space of just one day it comes as the un's human rights committee condemned damascus first eight month crackdown on protesters in a vote backed by western nations and a number of arab states russia did abstain from voting and has been calling for a dialogue between the syrian opposition and president assad's regime but is more important as details from the 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 end 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 at the 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 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 alternate 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. or not reporting right there from new york what are you without so you are still to come through this claims of. europeans wonder whether they have a financial future at all. russell's mode about having to tighten their own balance . minutes past the hour here in moscow poisoning a bipolar political outcry it's not exactly five years since the russian former security agent alexander litvinenko died on british soil in a spy saga that gripped the global attention to a diplomatic spat between moscow and london and as artie's laura smith reports there are continues to cause a rift between the two countries five years on and still an immovable thaw in the

side of british relations most go we 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 wouldn't go against its constitution and path of government in a position where it's very difficult to imagine either side giving anything fortune to the sunni questions you know which have been gone through the last five years. with. agreed. making anywhere near the middle. if you can build to see how it's going to move forward in london because we don't know rina has successfully lobbied for a new wiser ranging inquest into her husband's death you have always says he

welcomes the news and has offered to give evidence via video link he also welcomes marina because admission that her husband was working as a consultant for the british secret services look up boys says he himself was branded a liar for saying the same thing but it's not just the truth that's most of basing her young were young about it but she didn't like opposition of the british government who were against widening the investigation as he was an agent he wasn't operating alone he was acting in accordance with some kind of orders and some kind of command structure so the british secret services resign or knew by his death so in her mind they should take responsibility and that means paying the lawyers who are expanse of the british teacher pay but it was really good variable. we're in a little union because legal costs could run to one and a half million dollars and international relations have paid a heavy price to. a prayer 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 unfortunately the key area to prove relations between moscow and. the interests of both governments. would be very welcome. in this case. because you can't do anything with. a young prosecution if you can move the case forward. build a case against him it looks like that person will be to me to formally a suspect he was with this video and lugovoy here at the millennium hotel on the day it's believed litvinenko was poisoned he was investigated by german police in connection with traces of polonium that were found in his handbag apartments but

the case was dropped but the baby did despite that report suggest costume is moving back into the british police to break following the closure of the criminal case in two thousand and nine core two got hold of the police that agent's against him he doubts they'll be able to pin anything on him this time around either cartoon will give evidence at the new hearings by video link to so far as an interested party five years on since 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 party loved and. now a quarter past the hour here in moscow where hope for the martian mission is alive and european stations have contacted the inter-planetary probe. which was believed to be lost in space but the vessel of vanished from international radars two weeks ago just a few hours after launch the reconnection with the probe came
