discuss the whole big joining business is with. nine pm in moscow i'm matt trezise good to have you with us here on r t our top story fresh clashes in egypt with reports of at least three people killed and some four hundred injured as police fired volleys of tear gas to disperse crowds of protesters broke out after wednesday's football violence when seventy four people died in post match clashes protesters blame police for doing nothing to prevent the soccer pitch deaths they're also calling on the military council to step down for more on this we go live to egyptian activist who is live for us in washington d.c. thanks for joining us so i her over these deaths on the football pitch has grown into widespread protests against the rule of the military council do you think

there was anything a more than a football rivalry behind wednesday's clashes. i'm sort of have to really quick to this information this was not a football right this was a cry that was aimed at one of the factions of the revolution the football fans of allegedly team as well as those of. their teams they have been always forming the spearhead in the confrontations we've had with security and military before during all the clashes we've had with the military regime in egypt and this was a massacre that was deliberately made there are very strong signs that. we have that this had been thought that he deliberately made. with the arrival of buses with loads of persons in civilian clothes and holding sticks that were all very much identical the use of firearms the use of strangling techniques

that would break the nic which means that these people were trained to do this and wait wait a second chance at this adult step back here for a second these people on the buses that you're talking about are these supporters of the regime of the government or people who are with the people. who were they were hired and they would brought from a different nearby town of the town of foresight where the events took place. and the lights went off hired by who are the security ok hired by the security we have pictures of police officers directing those. masses. and. give orders to turn over the lights about twenty minutes before the game was finished it was all deliberate we have every evidence that can prove it now you are right now there is that if. you campaign against mubarak who is now out of power do you think you are satisfied with the way reforms are moving forward. we are not

sure that mubarak is out of power because well what is happening was mubarak he is living in total luxury in this presumable hospital and usually with i don't know how many jacuzzi bus i don't know what he's brought in and out of his trial by helicopters his trial is a mockery trial it's a charade and everybody expects that he would be acquitted so we don't think that he is really out of quo or i think that he as well as his associates in the skaf the supreme council on forces of the orchestrators of the atrocities that are having and that we are having in egypt right now and they should be brought to justice all of the groups of supporters of cairo's football club have pledged a new war to defend the revolution as they say that wednesday's clashes were an attempt to punish them for their part in the overthrow of mubarak do you think this

could become another full scale operation i'm sorry i didn't get old your question do you think that this could lead to this unrest that's going on in the wake of the football violence could it lead to another uprising it is already a total uprising you have not only into people are supporting the ministry of the interior under siege from all the different streets there is over ten thousand people that are trying to put the ministry of defense the headquarters of the itself under siege which is a very formidable area and we've never been able to go there before because you always managed to stop us before we arrived there because so many rallies went from different directions and it's all over the country there are clashes everywhere the security is shooting people everywhere we have marchers falling everywhere and some reasons of injured people it's all over the country all right thanks very insane we have to leave it there ahmed gyptian activist joining us live from washington. well

tell us what you think about the latest clashes in egypt and r.t. dot com today we're asking why you think the calm has failed to return after the revolution in egypt last year so far most believe it's because it's the same officials who were in power under mubarak under mubarak but are still running the country a quarter think that continuing on the rest plays into the interests of radical groups eighteen percent also say that the revolution creates its own downfall and at the same number saying the unrest continues because high unemployment assists those are how the numbers stack up right now you can change them if you like by casting your vote at r.t. dot com. you can also see the events unfolding firsthand in cairo by checking out the streaming video at our website that's on our teeth dot com. moscow says it can't support a new draft resolution on syria although the text has been softened to overcome some of russia's objections the kremlin says it still falls short of addressing moscow's main concerns are marine important as the latest from new york. as the

security council enters its for its fourth day of negotiations major powers are still divided over how this resolution should be drafted and what wording should be used now the russian foreign ministry said that moscow is still committed to talks and these talks are continuing but no vote is planned for the coming days now as we've been reporting the resolution the draft resolution that was first introduced to the council on tuesday has been revised and updated to meet some of russia's concerns you know some of those revisions reportedly include the fact that the text no longer is spelling out plans for syrian president bashar al assad to step aside or to relinquish its power it also reportedly deletes a paragraph demanded that u.n. member states prevent the flow of arms to syria but at this point we still do not

know what are the sticking points we do know that moscow opposes any language that would open the door for regime change in syria russia russian officials have acknowledged that the tax has softened but still does not meet moscow's major concerns now why the wording is so important is because of what has taken place in libya russia china many other countries believe that western powers misinterpreted the text of the resolution that was passed for libya that allowed for a no fly zone and circumvented the text and and took advantage of what the security council wanted and that's why you have all these member states going through the text word for word and debating word for word because many countries do not want to leave the door open for misinterpretation by western powers some of which want to see a regime change in syria. marcus papadopoulos editor of politics first magazine

thinks the u.s. is still committed to seeing power change hands in damascus western interest in the conflict in syria isn't guided by wanton soup advance human rights democracy or the rule of law in the region if it was about that then we'd probably see an american naval flotilla off the coast of saudi arabia which happens to be one of the most repressive and brutal regimes in the world but it follows a pro western foreign policy syria is a huge player in middle eastern politics and the west principally america has a very problematic relationship with syria so it would be very much within america's interests for the syrian government for president assad to fall from power and for a more accommodating a more sort of pro western government to come to parallel should that happen that would give. almost full dominance politically in the middle weights so instead of western governments the british and the american and the french one's

talking about president assad stays been numbered they should be more responsible in their outlook and the main focus should be on bring in peace to syria. marcus papadopoulos there editor of politics first magazine joining us from london will stay with us there's a lot more coming your way in the next few minutes including this to the extreme. so it's ski the and it's freaking people legs this is a misinterpretation of their secret groups some are line of rhetoric from a radical islamic group shocking belgian society including their fellow muslims stay with us. so. good. so good.

to. see a good. photo . thanks for staying with us here on r t eleven minutes past the hour in moscow live pictures from every polling station in a russia set to go online with the help of a new web site that launched friday thousands of web cameras being installed across the country ahead of next month's presidential election the move was introduced by

the current prime minister and presidential candidate widen your putin as a way toward stopping fraud during the vote is going off as the details. inch after inch mile after mile big brother is preparing to cast his eyes on polling stations as the massive campaign to install web cameras is in full swing across the entire nation but actually sometimes but i think if anything i ask for a central electoral commission to install web cameras at all polling stations across the country so that everyone can watch online what's happening there what twenty four hours a day certainly that only. the idea was put forward following the biggest protests in russia since the collapse of the u.s.s.r. with tens of thousands demanding fair elections so wiring up over ninety thousand polling stations is the scale and around a half of a billion us dollars is the price tag. coming in the system is not been made only

for one day we hold this project want only develop elections acknowledges but will also help modernize telecommunications infrastructure across the entire country. all cameras will be feeding the videos the film to local digital storage facilities after computer processing will be then sent to seven large storage and distribution centers via cable radio and satellite these centers was then broadcast the information to several web portals it's estimated that all together the cameras will film and broadcast four hundred and ninety years of video information in good quality however there is still down to this technology will help make the vote more transparent. you'll get a story i'm sure the observers won't be able to check in advance if these cameras work or not. everyone knows about cameras in supermarkets but this still doesn't stop robberies from happening. it's planted there every ballot box will be

monitored by two cameras one with the general of the un another with a close up of the slot there are many ways to rig a vote and the cameras don't provide one hundred percent guarantee against that but using that should still make it much more difficult to stuff boxes of course there is nothing new. or where cameras. using them to monitor elections on such a scale is a first for any nation and regardless of the success of the idea everyone will be able to monitor the vote online and not to mention no one is against having more real life observers on the spot he was going off r.t. moscow. well ad voting video isn't just yet but there is a lot streaming right now when you can check it all out of our dot com government web sites in ukraine suffering a two day blackout after being hacked. for shutting down
