12:04 pm
that mubarak is out of power to be goes 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 quote 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 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 catch old your

12:06 pm
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 interest of radical groups eighteen percent also say that the revolution creates its own downfall and have 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 first hand in cairo by check 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
12:07 pm
security council enters 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 now 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
12:08 pm
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 attacks 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
12:09 pm
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 ones
12:10 pm
talking about president assad stays being numbered they should be more responsible in their outlook and the main focus should be on bringing pace 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. ski the and the screeching people learned from 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.
