if you move from science to these. stunts on t.v. dot com. thousands of vented their anger at egypt's military rulers with protesters staying put in the heart of cairo saying the army's concessions are not enough. these. protesters in tahrir square with designed to get some kind of just a few moments. reports of more deaths in syria as the u.n. human rights group condemns the government a move russia fears will hurt the prospects for future talks. and a murder mystery spy saga with a pinch of global politics five years on the unsolved killing of

a former russian at a security agent that of alexander litvinenko continues to muddy relations between moscow and london. and if i could have you with us today this is r.t. live from moscow with me rory some show thousands of egyptians are simply refusing to leave to rio square saying they're not satisfied with concessions being offered by the military council the army has said that a presidential election will be held by next summer but people want them to go ahead right now violent clashes with police continue in cairo from where. now joins us live paula thanks for coming on the program today we hear the police are going in extremely tough on protesters. thousands of people continue to arrive here in town the spam and that's just. by the promises by the military council that it will

implement reforms and infamous those reforms quickly the clashes are ongoing they're happening a short distance from me and mohamed mahmoud street now there was seeing much the same scenes we saw yesterday tuesday and this just by the promise by mohammed khatami the head of the supreme council of armed forces that he would accept the resignation of his government the clashes are seen ambulances carrying the injured fortune back which you can hear behind me the kind of chaos and mayhem that is erupting here the doctors are reporting that they simply cannot cope with the number of injured people there are makeshift clinics throughout tuffy is where we are receiving particularly worrying reports that the security personnel have been using a new kind of tear gas that is particularly lethal human rights groups are bringing attention to it the doctors are saying that they see new kinds of injuries and protesters arriving here today are bringing with them bottles of water mixed with

stomach medicine to try and we try as the effect of that tear gas i continued that i was able to some of it yesterday and for a few moments you simply cannot see anything and you can lift splattering and gasping for air places because we have in terms of dead and injured are some fifty three people who have been killed and as many as two thousand people who have been injured over the past few days many of the dead with the push to be killed by live ammunition the irony is that this kind of violence is only hardening the result of protesters here in tuffy square to remain and to continue they fight many people also saying that the heavy handed stance of the security personnel is a throwback and reminder of the four major action president hosni mubarak's ever it is making people not only angry but they're also becoming extremely distrustful of the army at the same time the question of whether or not monday's parliamentary elections will go ahead remains open. army has said it will move ahead with those

elections but certainly when you see the kind of violence unfolding here in downtown cairo and the result from protesters to remain here it is questionable whether or not those parliamentary elections will happen. as you were saying paula you know as we all know now that the the army has agreed to make an effort to why are the protesters rejecting that the concession they still behaving in a way that is a pure frustration. for the simple answer to that is that the protesters they don't believe the army and the want to see the army go they said there was talk of some kind of reforms and of a new government is simply cosmetic the army will still be in charge it will still be pulling the strings behind the scenes now one hundred one told him his televised traits last night choose they did say that he was accepting the resignation of the government but he mentioned that the government would remain in place as a caretaker government and to a new government is formed he also said with regards to the parliamentary elections

that happen on monday that while they will go ahead they will be much time needed for will elect trouble forms and will electoral changes to take place so many people here simply not believing the army they think that all of this is a way for the many teeth to remain in power we are hearing from mohamed el baradei he has been counted as the next prime minister he has been asked to form a government form of we understand he is hesitated because he does not yet have assurances what about how he will be free to pick his own cabinet and whether or not he will be free to act which in his own car is he so it is not much movement on that school although most people here do not believe that a new government will make any real difference to the situation on the ground was it worth mentioning that yesterday the human rights group amnesty international issued a report outlining all the kinds of uses that have been committed by the army and many of those abuses were committed. the time of course we will break just adding

fuel to the can go off people here in taqiyya square they say that they simply replaced one dictator with another. policy of live right about to risk wearing thank you. for the military government insists that they are ready to give up power but investigative journalist attorney gosling believes their actions are suggest the exact opposite is true why was it that the police and the military decided to get tough with small groups of protesters in the square just a few days ago in the run up to the action is a very very sensitive period and if they wanted those elections to go ahead smoothly the last thing they should have been doing was cracking down with these kind of particularly. in human potentially as well illegal methods the fact that they've opened fire with live rounds and also with this kind of what they call in c.s. gas which is put something like fifty to one hundred people in hospital god knows

what they call a gases but it certainly shouldn't be used this is the reason why so many people have turned out so angry it mean the military doesn't seem actually in control of their own police force the other thing about all this is that the former interior minister is potentially a really serious criminal i think what's happening is that the military are actually reluctant to allow the democratic process to proceed in egypt because they know many of mubarak's former government and possibly some of them will be tried and put in jail. the latest reports suggest at least thirty three people have died nearly two thousand injured during or just six days of unrest some objections are calling the second revolution like the first rando condemnation from western nations has been slow coming as i reports critics say that's because their interest lies 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 on pastures we are abuses and loss of life so you can play with in syria the future of syria now depends upon the ability of all of us to keep pressure on them because of all the truth called them for is in 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 garci they 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 them since president mubarak

was forced out nine months ago egypt's been under the rule of this it 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 bullets protesters now accused western nations who 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's all you was it it's the tear gas canisters or the bullets all communication would be have received it is eleven it's forced presumably revolution and they are used for oppressing populations will be 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 this week and prime minister david cameron's been picked to spearhead an international

diplomatic task force. to remove president assad from office as 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 failure and now people are beginning to understand it notice that nevertheless this is clinton and miss rice are continuing to push this bankrupt the scripted model of the color revolution the cia 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 the bennetts party london. we've been actually asking you how the west should react to the bloodshed in egypt let's

bring up the stats here and see how you're voting right now at r.t. dot com but a majority thinks that stony silence is the best answer nearly a third believe nato allies must impose a no fly zone and get involved in a bombing campaign around a fifth of you say the west should react with tough sanctions and threats of action the rest think the events should be condemned and have your say on our web site r.t. dot com. out of minutes past the hour here in moscow activists in syria say at least twenty eight people have been killed in violence in just the last few days the u.n. human rights committee has condemned damascus for its eight month crackdown on protesters in a vote backed by western nations and a number of arab states russia did abstain from voting calling for dialogue between the syrian opposition and president assad's regime in a fortnight of reports now 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 a calls on syria to and 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 syria in the 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 what is more important reporting very well still ahead for you this hour hope floats in space communication is restored but the russian probe when shortly after being launched on a mission to explore a martian moon. and a look at why the euro crime so the very center of the debt ridden. you have decided there pugs just are quite good enough and are threatening

a strike. it's a case where poison spread much further than its intended victim five years now since the death of a russian a former security agent alexander litvinenko in the u.k. the diplomatic spat it triggered between moscow and london still shows no signs of letting up its arteries laura smith reports the course of justice isn't running smoothly. five years on and still an immovable thought in the side of british relations. extradite britain's chief suspect in the two thousand and six murder of alexander litvinenko because andrei look up lawyer is a russian citizen and person refuses to hyundai video evidence so russia can conduct its own investigation britain insists extradition is the only path to justice russet won't go against its constitution and path both governments are not a position where it's very difficult to imagine either side giving anything fortune

to this opening question you know which have been gone through the last. with morris agreed. neither side really. making anywhere near that little difficult to see how to move forward in london a bit brilliant because we don't remember ina 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 via a video link he also welcomes marina in yonkers admission that her husband was working as a consultant for the british secret service is look i've always said he himself was branded a liar for saying the same thing but it's not just the truth it's most of basing your younger brother else but she didn't like the position 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 were somewhere nearby to his

death so in her mind they should take responsibility and that means paying the lawyers who are expensive the british fleet should pay with this really good idea that marina live in yonkers legal costs could run to one and a half million dollars and international relations have paid a heavy price to. a fare 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 can prove relations between moscow and london and the interests of both governments. would be very welcome if this problem can be solved in this case can be solved because you can't do anything with.

young prosecution if you can move the case forward. he doesn't have immunity. because against him it looks like but person will be to me. formally i suspect he was with the bin yes and lugovoy here at the millennium hotel on the tapes believed 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 dropped for lack of evidence despite that report suggests 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 colton will give evidence at the new hearings by video link two so far as an interested party five years on since litvinenko died there are still a lot of interested parties ready to put their case but there's little sign of

anyone being held accountable. ot london. watching r.t. live from moscow breaking news for you this hour russia will pull out of the start treaty and start nuclear disarmament if the u.s. continues to deploy its missile defense shield in europe president to get a set of moscow could also deploy in and he missed our system on its own borders as a response let's get all the details right now from our viewers and these are now is standing by for us live thanks for coming on the program or please explain what the president have to say today with some very harsh and direct words from president meets vaidya of our on the u.s. growth and movement of their anti-missile defense system it's been a longstanding sticking point as we all very well know between russia and the u.s. for years really decades i think it's fair to say the new start treaty was signed in april twenty times it was seen as a reset obviously things aren't going the way at least russell would like it to see

this is what the president said would happen if the u.s. continues to move forward with a.m.d. along its border. i mean was that you. going to tell us a little given to his lawyer you've got missile system is can do in kaliningrad got told in the media played you will trip period is all new and even necessary implements either a measure is just over the counter of i think the european aspect of the u.s. missile defense system that it needs of libya because he should be so for unsavory builders of belittlement of the situations of russia reserves the right to you refrain from further steps in disarmament down to the level and arms control. in addition considering it was easter relation between strategic offensive weapons and defensive weapons it's now one year we may have. to with the troika will be somewhere from the new start treaty that the people said we couldn't and so this

possibilities in visaged in the treaty. demeaning you never the less but you i would like to stress once again the that we are knowledge and closing the doors open for you see the containing the dialogue with the united states and nato on missile defense. of the land for our practical cooperation in this area we are prepared for that however she did for this word to deceptive of what we would need to clear a legal framework for a cop or a ship framework that would take into account our legitimate interests. we are open for does logging in and we expect a reasonable and constructive approach on the part of partners. but any so any so we still got you live here in central moscow certainly as you were saying earlier some some powerful statements that coming from the russian president the whole idea

according to capitol hill in washington d.c. is to set up this eastern european missile defense shield to protect against a rogue state says they call them such as north korea and iran but as most people know america has missiles in iraq in afghanistan south korea japan and of course regarding iran we call to america and america's closest ally israel which has thousands of missiles what is the point of putting missile defense stations in russia's back yard right when you think about it when you actually look at a map you can see that nato and its european allies and then from the east as well and then down in afghanistan in the middle east are completely surrounding russia as you can understand where this concern is coming from and it has to be said there's been a lot of dialogue on this and yes both sides have said that there has been progress but once again we're hitting the same wall russia and the president has made have said it very well again today we asked them for some kind of legally binding guarantee that these rockets are not positioned against us that they are against

rogue states and they just can't get it they're told we don't need that you know there it can see iran there against other possible threats it's sort of a joint cooperation think what we want our missile defense systems to be separate and russian pretty much i think it's fair to say very frankly has had enough they're getting the same wall they're not given the legally binding guarantees that they need which by the way are not in that that start treaty which is signed in april twenty ten it's a very relatively vague document not to say that it's not very important to both sides but it doesn't bind and guarantee the interests of both sides and that's the problem all right and he said not without reporting live from central moscow many thanks indeed. let's get to the world update now here for us and other headlines from around the world this hour first to bahrain where police used tear gas on crowds after clashes flared up ahead of a report on the gulf kingdom's unrest an independent commission is due to publish
