comb. alleys for people reportedly killed in fresh clashes as thousands continue to demonstrate across egypt angry at the military country's military rulers after a violence at a football match on wednesday left seventy four dead this is a live video you're looking at that now cairo's tahrir square. a stalemate at the united nations security council as a new resolution on syria fails to address all of russia's concerns who insist there should be no calls for the current president to step down. and a close up on the vote told polling stations across russia to get their own digital observer as webcams are installed on orders of the prime minister.
4:01 pm
one am in moscow. good to have you with us here on our team our top story fresh clashes in egypt with reports of at least four people killed and some four hundred injured across the country as police again fire bali's of tear gas to disperse crowds of protesters we're going to show you live pictures now of tire square in cairo where thousands have gathered to voice their discontent and arrest broke out after wednesday's football violence when seventy four people died in matches in post match clashes protesters have been massing in the square and around the interior ministry blaming the police for doing nothing to prevent the soccer pitch deaths they're also calling on the military council to step down more perspective on this i'm joined by lawrence davidson professor of middle east history at west chester university in the u.s. thanks for joining us so authorities blame violent football fans for wednesday's
4:02 pm
deaths while the muslim brotherhood says it was supporters of the ousted regime what do you think happened at the match. well i don't think that your regime. did this purposely. i think they lock the gates of the stadium which is never a good idea. but that seems to have been a routine kind of procedure. that the police didn't intervene against crafters probably is an indication that the police were afraid. to get in the middle of this but it serves as a pretty good excuse to read in bigger rate the protests against the military council and i think the key here is what the muslim brothers are going to do. you remember or your viewers might remember
4:03 pm
a few days ago there was a protest march to the end i think it was to the parliament in cairo and that was stopped by. by elements of the muslim brotherhood who essentially made a human chain. and prevented the marchers or the protesters from getting near the parliament this time they didn't do that and so the question is just how much the brotherhood wants to. join in this new round of protesting under this new pretext group so football fans promised what they called a war to defend the revolution saying the violence was retribution for their part in the unarrest that toppled hosni mubarak do you think this could become another full scale uprising. no i don't think it can be another full. scale uprising unless the muslim brothers and their numbers i mean the old trick is
4:04 pm
that is that the soccer the soccer people. are very brave and. very aggressive but they aren't that numerous. and so for a puts up arise you're going to need. the numbers of the brotherhood that they can bring out and that's the issue will they do it or will they not. some of the protesters are calling on the army to choose between the military council and those rallying against them do you think the army is likely to support a new revolt. well i think the army is being kept in barracks because. the the the regulars soldiery if you will probably are not that predictable of the trust where. as far as the military council is concerned. you don't know what their regular troops are going to do if you put them in the
4:05 pm
streets against against those centrally their cousins that are you know are members of their family so i don't see the army. coming in and being becoming involved in this. maybe you will fractionalized elements the army perhaps too is certain to get bad enough but i don't see that coming anytime soon all right professor lawrence davidson from westchester university in pennsylvania thanks for your insights my pleasure. remember you can tell us all your thoughts on the latest clashes in egypt dot com and today we're asking why do you think that calm has failed to return to the country after egypt's revolution last year so far most responses think it's because it's the same officials who are in power under mubarak that are now running the country a little less than a quarter think that continuing on arrest plays into the interests of radical groups seventeen percent say the otherwise continue because of high unemployment
4:06 pm
persis and if you were then that believe that every revolution creates its own downfall those are the figures right now you can log on cast your vote at r.t. dot com. russian diplomats refuse to accept a security council draft resolution on syria saying that it calls quote to facilitate a political transition and moscow opposes any language inside the resolution that could be seen as backing a regime change in damascus artie's marina porton i has 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
4:07 pm
introduced the council on tuesday has been revised and updated to meet some of russia's concerns you know some of those revisions reportedly and 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 that 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 text has softened but still does not meet moscow's major concerns now why the building is so old 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
4:08 pm
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 as humanitarian groups accuse libya's new government of abuse in the country detention centers as we were a deal better former senior official could have fallen victim to torture libya's former ambassador friends has died in custody twenty four hours after being detained by an armed group so you can shine in the middle east expert and journalists had some why you don the latest accusation. it seems to me very clearly is that why this focus now on this in tiny militia is because there's an tiny militia there's entirely people holding saif al islam and the west especially the i.c.c.
4:09 pm
are very fearful about what this one tiny militia are going to do with saif al islam saif islam hasn't had access to us the list as far as i know and he hasn't said anything publicly so i think for this entirely it's that saif al islam in their in their custody is the biggest power play that they've got to use in libya so i think this is the great agenda of what's going on right now with this latest development i think doctors without from tos like human rights watch like amnesty they can't suddenly feign surprise about what's actually come to pass in libya they seem to provide the quote unquote human rights justification for western. policies of foreign aggression then once these countries are stabilized and one of the failed states by the nato or you know natural western the military aggression then they suddenly are surprised. but they all along have been used and perhaps allowing themselves to be used in actually in justifying
4:10 pm
a human rights so-called foreign intervention. stay with us here on r.t. lots more coming your way in the next few minutes including this religious to the extreme. it's scary and it's freaking people like you know this is a misinterpretation of our secret lives some some are line rhetoric from a radical islamic group shocking belgian society including their fellow muslims. but first live pictures from every polling station in a russia said to go online with album a new website that launched friday thousands of web cameras are being installed across the country ahead of next month's presidential election the move was introduced by current prime minister and presidential hopeful that amir putin as one step toward stopping fraud during the vote party's europe is going off as the details. after each mile after mile big brother is preparing to cast designs on polling stations as the massive campaign to install web cameras is in full swing across the entire nation but actually sometimes but i
4:11 pm
think i just want central election commission which is to install web cameras at all polling stations across the country so that everyone can watch online what's happening there twenty four hours a day. early. 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. the system is not be made only for one day we help 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
4:12 pm
centers via cable radio and satellite these centers will 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. i'm sure the observer is going to be able to check to advance if these cameras work will not now. everyone knows about cameras in supermarkets but these steel doesn't stop robberies from happening. it's every ballot box will be monitored by two cameras one with the general view and another with a close up of this lot there are many ways to rig it 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. where there are.
4:13 pm
using them to monitor elections 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 not to mention no one is against having more real life observers on the spot the war is going on moscow well motoring video isn't online just yet but there is a lot streaming right now want to our website you can check that out twenty four seven are t.v. dot com anonymous hacker group unveils secret correspondence allegedly revealing details of a massacre of iraqi civilians by u.s. troops in two thousand by. members of the international space station crew will be stuck in orbit for an extra forty five days find out what's behind the delay at r.t. dot com. belgium is estimated to have up to four hundred fifty thousand muslims living in the country but it's a radical minority of them drawing the attention and scaring the population with

4:16 pm
of of course they are moved but they have no religious but it is a minority that in search of an identity. that's bigger than the mrs they're using and that's freaking people learning. unfortunately just kind of grew chills about image of islam and muslims condemn this kind of. this is a misinterpretation of her secret. muslims comprise about six percent of the belgian population one of the highest rates in europe and is expected to rise to more than ten percent by two thousand and twenty the muslim who believe. they are belgium from morocco in the region. and the first. mostly radical groups such as those of the islamic fundamentalists comprise a minority and it's not representative of the muslim community in belgium nevertheless politicians analysts and even the bells of muslims themselves
