8:01 am
with knives and use and tear gas was some kind of in 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 stock up with a pinch of global politics five years on the on the soul killing of a russian a former security agent alexander litvinenko continues to muddy relations between la london and moscow. and is now a just after five pm here in the russian capital this is artsy with me rule research showing straight to our breaking news for you this hour russia may pull out of the start treaty and stop nuclear disarmament if the u.s. continues to deploy its missile defense. in europe president said moscow could also
8:02 am
deploy its own strike systems like its kind of missiles on its own borders as a response let's not cross over to off he's starting by standing by live here in central moscow with the u.s. and nato seemingly on a winning to budge president of year there has made his position clear the details very clear indeed some harsh and direct words from president meditative this afternoon here in moscow on what russia will do if the u.s. continues to move forward on his plans for miss our friends in europe which has continued to grow after the signing of the new strategic arms reduction treaty back in april twenty term president is rated pointed out that russia would begin to create an upload its own radar system throughout the country's western and also with the ease that would predict any kind of activity in terms of missiles although the u.s. says it is not directed towards russia it's directed towards so-called rogue states that is not enough anymore and this is what the president said would happen if the
8:03 am
steps to work create its own radar missile detecting system and launch it really weren't enough. other measures are insufficient russia will deploy a contemporary strike systems in the west himself in order to prevent further damage from u.s. missile systems deployed in europe the deployment of the us going to missile system in the congo region will be one such step if the situation develops in an unfavorable wording russia will reserve the right to see if further steps and we reduce the amount and arms control. given the inextricable link between strategic offensive and defensive weapons reasons could emerge from russia's withdrawal from the strategic arms reduction treaty with this is a vision within the content of the treaty. i just want to point out that this announcement from the russian president comes after the u.s. announced that it would not be sharing data on nuclear doubt it should be pointed out with russia russia has decided to at. so with this really it has to be said of
8:04 am
the signing of the new start treaty back in april twenty times it was held as a reset between the two countries it wasn't a document that legally binds either side and that is something that russia is looking for guarantees that these missiles will not be directed against them even though the u.s. it's as nato and its european allies constantly trying to reassure russia that it's not words are just not enough they need something on paper that says i that they it's guaranteed that these rockets will never ever be used against russia indeed and as you say the u.s. and nato have refused to give these legal guns used as you said that these missile defense stations will not talk at russia but it's a let's have a look at the map here for a moment when it comes to washington's european missile defense shield that is supposed to protect europe against rogue states as they call it such as north korea and iran of america has missiles in iraq afghanistan south korea japan and of course regarding iran america's closest ally israel has thousands of missiles now
8:05 am
if you look at the european missile defense shield that was well the u.s. has missiles in poland it has a radar in the czech republic it has missiles and radars in romania missiles and ball garia radars in turkey it is supposed to defend against rogue states like north korea in iran then why is the european missile defense shield positioned right on russia's back door you know it's just some kilometers really from russia's most western enclave of kaliningrad and that's really where russia is talking about placing these radar systems and where these missile defense systems the u.s. missile defense systems are being placed and is growing more and more right on their western border there and if you look at them out it's interesting that you bring it up it's the best evidence really to understand why russia has reacted this way why they've been so strong on their stance over the past couple years and really over the past couple of decades been signing these. our strategic arms
8:06 am
treaties there's been several of them just look at the mouth i mean it's nato it's eastern allies you go down into the mid east and come up a long the pacific eastern seaboard of russia and they're surrounded there surrounded by so many critics who say that russia's reaction perhaps is is is an overstatement that it's over reacting just really needs to look at that map and it's it's quite simple to understand why they look at this as a threat and are demanding that their interests are also taken into consideration telling them that this are these rockets these military bases all these systems are against rogue states like iraq is just not enough. lisa now with the reporting live from central moscow thank you very much indeed let's get some more details on this now some more in-depth analysis from a russian a political analyst eaglehawk off thank you for coming on today so this is been one of an ongoing saga here is actually going back to the days of the bush era administration of course george w. bush. has long voiced his defense concerns all over america's expanding missile
8:07 am
shields now president you have as outlined moscow's response what do you think will be the reply from capitol hill. before we talk about from the capitol hill we have to understand that mutually assured destruction so called mad has been one of the pillars of global stability since modern times and in this way all issues concerning protection of defense and defense have to be considered in strategic context. america is interested in defending kids homeland and it's quite reasonable but the problem is the trash. also dresses with eats own agenda having this kind of joint defense system on capitol hill is unlikely to. listen to most calls. interrupt you if you say that but america is concerned about protecting its own. and
8:08 am
a home run then why is it deploying these missiles or along the border with russia essentially in russia's backyard. you know if we talk about global stability you have to understand the say the serger there to fifty's and sixty's when the very concept of mutual assured destruction was formed and it has been the pillar of global so you're talking about the cold war absolutely but you know unfortunately bush's administration also talked to russia in many cases in terms of cold war and unfortunately obama administration often does. the same especially before the election campaign pending in the united states so loose way this all the policy called surrounding russia or that's all you're going to be the. bases. truthy fifty's and sixty's are you as you say there's a long history here i do you bring up the issues of your cold war but is it possible that the u.s. and russia are now heading into a new arms race do you think i don't think russia and the united states are heading
8:09 am
into new arms race given of the new technology has now called you know quantity doesn't matter so much it's the quality of that matters and russia has an adequate response especially with its new generation. missiles like this can there which can be put in europe and actually will in danger european allies of the of the united states it's very important thing to say that european allies of the united states. should join this kind of program they're pushing their own population interests because you see before before the events there was no danger from russia and now russia as a response to america are pushing its nuclear base in bases around its territory has to reply but because you have so i'm sorry to interrupt you but do you think do you think that russia's security concerns i justified here say russian security concerns are perfectly justified you know. it states like to say that you see those
8:10 am
are dangers from. north korea and other states they want to or can't about you know those missile based bases are being fooled around russian territory and russia says if you want to protect yourself it's a good idea let's have joined in the cell defense which would be very effective given the last of the vast russian territory and the missile technology as russell possesses but the united states is more interested in building this system within nato and of course it's a major concern for russia and the i mean indeed russia has been saying for months now let's make a joint missile system with nato and eventually a resolution of nato recently said you know actually we're going to go it unilaterally here president medvedev has said there is still a possibility for a dialogue on missile defense truly is that still a possibility is it a reality absolutely russia doesn't remove any options from the table including negotiation now actually negotiating is the best well is the best way to resolve any kind of issues but unfortunately united states administration its approach is
8:11 am
not very constructive in this context and i think unfortunately that we're not going to see any changes in american policy before the next presidential election in the united states because now obama is being criticized for being called foreign policy after being rude from iraq and afghanistan and he doesn't want to show from self we were getting with the russian political analyst that you got thank you very much for coming on the program. what are you without a live from moscow with thousands of egyptians are refusing to leave to risk where saying that they're not satisfied with concessions being offered by the military council the army says a presidential election will be held by next summer but people want them to go now and clashes with police continue in cairo from where we are now reports. thousands of people continue to arrive here in times square and that despite the promises by
8:12 am
the military council that it will implement reforms can implement as the form speaking the clashes ongoing there happening a short distance from me in one hundred mahmoud street now there was seeing much the same scenes we saw yesterday tuesday and this just like the promise by mohammed centanni the head of the supreme council of armed forces that he would accept the basic nation of his government the clashes are seen ambulances coming 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 time is where we are receiving particularly worrying reports that the security personnel have been using a new kind of tear gas that is securely lethal human rights groups are putting attention to it the doctors are saying that they see new kinds of injuries and protesters
8:13 am
arriving here today are bringing with them bottles of water mixed with stomach medicine to try to me tries the effect of that tear gas a continue that i was watching some of it yesterday and for a few moments you simply cannot see anything and you can lift stuttering and gasping for air the irony is that this kind of violence is only heartening the result of protestors here in tackiest way to remain and to continue the fight the protesters eight don't believe the army and the want to see the army go they say they will just talk of some kind of reforms and of a new god. it is simply cosmetic the army will still be in charge it will still be pulling the strings from behind the scenes not hundred ten target in his televised traits last night she states 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 till a new government is formed he also said this went on to the parliamentary elections that happen on monday that while they won't go ahead they won't be much time needed
8:14 am
for will emit trouble forms and will emit changes to take place so maybe people here's a pic not believing the army they think that all of this is a way for the minute keep to remain in power we are hearing from mohamed el baradei he has been touted as the next prime minister he has been asked to form a government the form of he had to stand he is his it takes he because he does not yet have a shoe and says whether or not he will be sweet to pick his own cabinet and whether or not he will be free to act which his own sovereignty so most people here do not believe that a new government will make any real difference to the situation on the ground now it's also worth mentioning that yesterday the human rights group amnesty international issued a report outlining all of the kinds of abuses that have been committed by the army and many of those abuses were committed during the time of course we will break just adding fuel to the can go of people here in toughness where they say that they
8:15 am
simply replaced one dictator with another that is of course they're reporting now from cairo is now a quarter 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 the massacres first eight months crackdown on protesters you know voted back by western nations and a number of arab states russia did abstain from voting calling for dialogue between the syrian opposition and of president assad's regime but it's marina cournoyer now reports 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 end all human rights violations and abuses and of course on an international level puts
8:16 am
the nation against syria now 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 re introduce the issue of syria into the united nations security council now 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 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
8:17 am
other countries i should mention the security council believe that any outside military intervention into syria should not happen and is considered unacceptable. that is more important reporting right there were more than thirty people have died nearly two thousand injured during just five days of unrest that some egyptians are calling a second revolution unlike the first one though condemnation from western nations has been slow in coming and artie's i've had many reports critics say that's because their interest for now lies elsewhere. egypt descends into chaos once more the first signs of cracks appearing in the arab spring it's been a focus of the world's media spotlight but western leaders turning a blind eye instead setting their sights on pastures new abuses and loss of life to 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 we called them present to make
8:18 am
reforms. 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 double standards at work. in very good 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 a military structure in egypt that will do to your sort of them 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 relive their tire rear triumph only to be met by tear gas and bullets
8:19 am
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 use that against those these are american or israeli or actually get earlier was that it's the to guess canisters or the bullet or the bill of rights the of that is the source and eleven it's forced presumably revolution o.b.o. 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 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 with one aim to remove president a sad from a face the move 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
8:20 am
revolutionary it was a complete failure and now people are beginning to to understand it now is that nevertheless mrs clinton and miss rice are continuing to push this bankrupt discredited model of the color revolution the cia people power co 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 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. and we've been asking you how the west should react to the bloodshed ongoing in egypt i bring up the numbers right here from r.t. dot com the majority think 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 say the west should react with tough sanctions and threats of action while
8:21 am
the rest of the events should be condemned i do have your say on our website just click on to r.t. dot com. just now turning twenty one minutes past the hour here in moscow it's a case where poison spread much further than its intended victim five years since the death of a russian or former security agent alexander litvinenko in the u.k. the diplomatic spat it triggered between moscow and london still shows no sign of letting up as artie's laura smith reports the court of justice isn't running smoothly. five years on and still an immovable thaw in the side of british relations. 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
8:22 am
justice russet won't go against its constitution and path both government in a position where it's very difficult to imagine either side giving anything fortune to the so many questions which have been gone through over the last five years. with more fixed on the green. we think anyone knew a little. difficult to see how it's going to move forward in london a little yes because we don't have very near 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 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 that's motivating her you're the more you brought it out she didn't like the position of the british
8:23 am
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 in some kind of command structure so the british secret service was recently held by his death so in her mind they should take responsibility and that means paying the lawyers who are expanse of the british legion me with britain's really good aerial. marina lipman 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 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. the interests of both governments. very welcome probably.
8:24 am
because you can't do anything with. the case forward. who doesn't have a. case against him it looks like that person will be to meet she called to formally i suspect he was with between you and lugovoy here at the millennium hotel on the tates believe it 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 by lack of evidence despite that report suggest hopetoun is moving back into the british police did great following the closure of the criminal case in two thousand and nine caught hold of the police evidence against him he doubts they'll be able to pin anything on him this time around either cotton will give
