you're watching ard see a line from moscow with me to bomb and say it's good to have you with us via clashes have reportedly been out in the egyptian capital of cairo as angry mobs attacked the president's palace with petrol bombs police are using tear gas and water cannons in attempts to dispose of the crowds thousands of people are marching in demonstrations across the country including the town of port along the suez canal which saw dozens of deaths and clashes over the past week people are demanding an end to the rule of president mohamed morsi and his party the muslim brotherhood. comes despite opposition leaders signing an agreement to try and establish peace together with the representative of the willing party on thursday varies on. live pictures that we're watching right now let's get an analysis of the

situation live from our activists and journalists who conscient on who joins me live right now so kind and eight a day of protests now at this point what's the difference between the protests and the ones that toppled mubarak. well the protesters are part of the forces which to topple mubarak but i think we have to see all of this in the context of the decades long actual strategy off western imperialism and actually bringing the whole arab world the whole middle east to its knees because particularly egypt which has a very proud tradition of resistance and patrie all to defiance in terms of zionist and imperialist germany in the region particularly off their you know the father of our nationalism actually the nasr who really defied and built up egypt. and other brotherly nations in in actually developing economy developing foreign policy and

developing a viable economy and all of that since one thousand nine hundred ninety one has been destroyed since the first gulf war destroying iraq which like egypt has a massive arab population but different to egypt have the added strategic bonus of oil so really i think what's happened post mubarak is that the west as ensured that one of the most important political arab nations that's that egypt has been totally destabilized and remember the egyptian government is waiting for what the egyptians call the loan from sunday look there's a protest is a popular protest song about the well bank i.m.f. loan to egypt and all the western newspapers and analysts are saying well egypt's not going to get that loan if this is the destabilisation that is visiting upon the country ok but democracy as just was elected seven months a day and the people the majority of the people who put him in power he is the easy going to be other throne is that likely to happen is that something that they gyptian is one now. well i mean if we can really get an accurate picture of exactly

what proportion of the egyptians want morsi to go and what one wanted to state it's all a real big mess but as i said it's i mean often in politics you have to ask who benefits from the situation and the primary beneficiary to the situation is the neighboring white settler zionist state called israel and western interests now the last thing the west want when they're conducting a destabilization campaign against syria the stabilization in iraq this visiting upon lebanon direct military intervention in mali they've devastated libya and the state largely that in tunisia is the egyptian people who do have a sophisticated political mind and some movements to actually into the green in this whole situation in opposition to western interests so really in terms of who are the main beneficiaries it definitely is the west and the egyptians are the big losers and ok let me talk about to this the protests that's been going on with some

of the demands that have been not just yesterday the muslim brotherhood and the opposition mad and renounce violence today we've got clashes at the presidential palace what did the did that liberation achieve. well quite i mean the thing is what who can control things in egypt now now a popular slogan of the arab spring which i call the arab sting where nato has been the fia has gone but perhaps the fear has gone by along with the fia so has any sense of security and nation building and state building so really can anyone control what's going on and this is this is rooted partly as well because of the trial against those who accused of being guilty off the deaths at the football match so really it's also it's also you know openly said that mullah can control anything in egypt our current me i just want to ask you this it seems like egypt has become essentially and governable what is your thought what are your thoughts in terms of who should be leading the country and will we see the military take

action in this well the military does what it can still survive on bail the great survivors through all this and arguably the military really are the only real anything that's close to the kind of the backbone rejection society i think we're going to continue seeing destabilization in egypt once the egyptians through and there's no actually existing real movements in egypt to do this but i think we can predict that eventually egyptian people will develop movements to actually start to bring the nation together and then to play a very positive role in terms of a region in africa and the middle east resistance and and region building in the face of a sign isn't on empiricism as they have done before which a lot of them must. all right let's leave it right they activists in general is a sukkah and deshawn diana thank you for speaking to us. and ahead in the program we'll be going to our news following developments in cairo for us so stay with us and we'll bring you the latest from her libel from egypt also france's glad it's

one day a little sense of agaves islamists in mali we've got an exclusive report on the collateral damage of the conflict with some chilling accounts emerging about the human cost. america's oil blockade against iran its immersion may have been violated by none other than the u.s. military itself the pentagon has admitted a conduct count for some of the fuel it brought in for its called operation in afghanistan it's now suspected that the randian petrol made up a significant percentage of imports as artie's granted she can explain. the u.s. gives money to the afghan government to buy fuel for its forces now u.s. officials especially spoke to general for afghanistan reconstruction say they cannot verify that the fuel purchased for afghan security forces in recent years did not come from iran it could be their way of saying that it most probably did

for the wrong and it could mean that the u.s. has violated its own extinction by letting us taxpayer dollars go to remain coffers those sanctions that the u.s. has put in place not only bar u.s. companies from doing business with iran but also punish third party countries for doing business with iran but no matter how many rounds of sanctions are in effect they were never watertight even though the european union under a lot of pressure from washington stopped buying uranium oil you have a host of other countries that still do iran's biggest buyer now biggest buyers now are china india and japan and these countries are oil thirsty especially china so china imports of uranium oil india's imports of iranian crude were up thirty percent according to tanker arrival data western sanctions have it rains oil exports in two thousand and twelve leading to a very deep plunge in the iranian currency but continuous robust demand from its

top buyers as well as the purchase of new tankers allow the red to unexpectedly boost exports late last year despite the sanctions the u.s. can't absolutely force those major economies especially china to stop buying from iran political and economic ramifications of such pressure would be significant but the u.s. government is trying their prompting those other countries to buy oil from washington's allies saudis and katori so you can imagine how happy the gulf states are about this whole new business coming in but washington is resolute to put more pressure on other countries to put forward more threats like cutting them off from the u.s. banking system. so for many countries the situation starts to look more like blackmail than anything else was regards to iran and blackmail is essentially what the us calls diplomacy which by the way is not working but washington acts to hold not only ran hostage to sanctions but the whole world which is of course creating

more cash. heading for the stars but lost at sea there's been a red failure for russian u.s. satellite collaboration as a rocket carrying communications equipment dishes minutes after takeoff. a suicide bomber has attacked the u.s. embassy in the turkish capital ankara killing two people and injuring at least two others the woman believed to be a member of a left wing group detonated explosives as he was passing through an x. ray scanner at the entrance to the building archies correspondent policia brings us more details. three people have been killed today including the suicide bomber a security guard as well as a turkish citizen who was a member of the staff at the american embassy now according to eyewitnesses there was this massive bang also plumes of smoke that have been erupting outside of the american embassy or american embassy staff have been taken to safe rooms inside the embassy this blast did happen in

a part of ankara where there are several other embassies including that of germany as well as all fronts the explosion caused no damage inside the embassy itself but it did cause extensive damage to the outside wall there are a number of illegal groups ranging from kurdish separatists to lift just to islamic militants who have launched attacks in recent years in turkey's perhaps it's worth mentioning that prior to this explosion the son in law of the sama bin laden was arrested in the turkish capital of ankara you also have in addition to this violence from syria that continuously spalls across the border and in the past artillery from syria has killed turkish civilians what that means is that you have a whole host of groups who could be implicated or who could have carried out this attack back in september there was that notorious mission in benghazi in libya where we had four american staff members killed including the american ambassador and then just a few days ago you had britain's foreign office warning of

a potential threat against the british embassy in tripoli so what we are witnessing is a chain of events targeting western embassies not least of all the united states that seems to be picking up momentum and it is a reflection of the growing anger against washington and other western countries at a particularly unstable time in the region. for more analysis on that i'm joined live by james moto no reporter for the catholic news service in turkey mr mudge on the turkish government says that this suicide bomber could be a member of the left his group called the revolutionary people's liberation party front does this version seem likely to you. it's still hard to say that say as you just mentioned that that report coming out that's a group that this liberation front is not an unknown group they have. undertaken attacks in the past they're known for being violently anti-american and for for

blaming the turkish government of being under u.s. influence in terms of turkish foreign policy is it possible i mean in turkey as an anywhere anything is possible there's there's many people at play here in turkey as your correspondent mention in the piece earlier there's different factions there's a k.k.k. there's there's people who are upset at. what's had turkey's policy in syria so. as of yet it's still difficult to say who is behind it but that organization the revolutionary front is a known organization they haven't had recent attacks but there they have been as i said known to carry out attacks in the past what do you make of the timing of the attack is this some kind of a message. again it's people there are people who are looking at it as. there comes at a time several things are going on of course to see the ongoing violence in syria

thousands of refugees tens of thousands of refugees pouring into to turkey there are perhaps people unhappy at turkey's. role in syria turkey is openly called for the fall of the regime in syria so there's that there's also negotiations going on here unprecedented negotiations between the government and this and the p k k which is that the kurdish faction the workers faction which is considered a terrorist organization by turkey as well as the e.u. and the united states are people who look at that and say perhaps some governments some countries are not happy with those negotiations going on so is it a message is it a message it could be and it could be because of these various events that are going on now in on turkey's foreign policy earlier this month we've seen the u.s. outgoing secretary of state hillary clinton taking responsibility for the attack in

libya is the one can washington do to prevent such actions like this. washington came under a lot of hillary clinton as you say came under a lot of pressure for that attack in libya they've been upgrading security they say at different emphases across the world in turkey it's been the embassy has in fact the consul u.s. consulate here in istanbul a few years ago came under attack there have been attacks on different embassies here in the past so there's no doubt that the u.s. security has been upgraded here. whether. the u.s. is going to be taking different steps now just in light of this they've said since the attack in libya again that they've been they've been particularly so vigilant and and watching out for their different embassies james montagne from the catholic new service in taking thank you. now back to our top story

violent clashes have erupted in the gyptian capital cairo with angry mobs attacking the presidential palace with petrol bombs police are using tear gas and water cannons in an attempt to disperse the crowds for more let's join cairo based reporter beltran right now well how violent other protests are right now where you are. we've got your must experience here in the capital as clashes have started by the president to promise as you can see behind me reportedly bought the most groups threw molotov cocktails over the gates of the presidential building the security forces are right now on the vehicles and have been sending out a lot of to gas as you can see behind me this police have gas over the area protesters are responding with fireworks also we've just seen as police are removing tempers from my months long sitting against the president to the side of

presidential building where they also set fire to rhetorical fires on the sides in the last thirty minutes has been i must say push by the security forces protesters have been fleeing in this direction in the background there's about ten ambulances are removing the injured from the front line or it's very chaotic scenes here this comes off the several protests converged in front the presidential palace on to her scratch as part of friday's day of the never and protesters called it against the president's people are still chanting in amongst this chaos that the president must step down they're saying this is the sentiment across the capital well i know you struggled to get to the way you are right now never gauging through the crowd what about the demonstrations in other parts of the country. yes we're seeing lots and lots of demonstrations across the country today but the main one outside of cairo has of course the airport saif which is when mr a week of bloody clashes the scene dozens die put aside today is an important day for the country as it is. a year

anniversary of the bloody football massacre that took place in port side on the first of february two thousand and twelve is of course has been a point of contention for those who come from both sides and as the verdict on twenty one the famine so i was told i am a sentenced to death so today they came on the streets against the government against the biting very angry scenes in a fisherman been gathering shot xandra osage down sound but at the moment the focus is definitely here in the cafe so it is chaotic and violent street afterwards bell i mean we can see just behind you we can even hear the sirens going it's it's pretty it's quite a crowd behind you can just tell us what's going on they has the violence started and it is still going on. here in the violence which i ask you later in about the last five minutes as you can hear behind me there's a lot of i'm going to say is a people are running it's very chaotic as are not to take gas and this is the price

in our area in comparison to the space interests where the gas is pooling and driving people i can just hear from my right now people are chanting in one voice the people come on the end of the regime this comes one day off us heard the islamic authority and hear the high slamming authority here in egypt cooled a broken that talks between the representatives of the church purpose and sense of control to talk of muslim groups on the face including opposition figures like mohamed el baradei and members of the muslim brotherhood in the freedom and justice party they made they say initiative can stop the violence initiative which called a peaceful protest which called an end of the violence on for dialogue and they almost signed this document obviously this hasn't taken place you can see behind me the scenes are still very violence that we're not sure there's going to be any dialogue in the future between the president and opposition forces and the opposition forces to have a preconditions on that i don't they want the president say the government to resign they want a different kind of a government takeover they want the countries to be revived what we're seeing right

now is a very chaotic divided egypt belcher to the right day in cairo admitting that quote in the presidential palace in cairo. i'll bring you more news after the show break . world. science technology innovation all the list of elements from around russia we've got the future covered. you know sometimes you see a story and it seems so you think you understand it and then. you hear or see some other part of it and realize that everything you thought. was a big. you

. know watching our team live with me to mom let's say france's president francois hollande is planning a trip to mali to survey was being hailed as a successful military intervention against islamists the french of knowledge however that the operation is now entering a tricky phase which is likely to involve guerrilla tactics from the extremists to talk i'm all on the current combat mission in mali i'm joined live by

a strasburg based journalism expert on france robert han is mr han as where the terrorists were indeed that is the question being gently heard in the politico among submitted to coke last slightly louder than some of the more less reverent press this is the most peculiar war in which the number seems to be any fighting the never seems to be any casualties we never see the enemy. you're almost might wonder whether in fact there hasn't been a little agreement secretly made between qatar who support the terrorists and france who support them in syria but not in mali saying no tell your people to move out and we'll move in sort things out later because there were qatari airplanes in northern mali until tuesday as i understand it there are a number of reports of human rights abuses committed by the mali an army do you think that paris which supports the mali and i'm you should raise concerns over

this what of course yes i mean it's embarrassing isn't it when the people you support do do these sort of things but it's also inevitable the other side of it is it gives them a splendid excuse to disown their own allies when it suits them later on is it too optimistic to think that the we government in mali which is among the world's poorest countries but could deal with the war properly so of course they can't know everybody knows that in fact the north has been virtually autonomous for a couple of years two or three years now as i understand it. french president hollande will travel to mali and saturday what what's the purpose of this visit i mean besides him saying we've done well at all why the globe in the well i think this may be he may regard this is a window of opportunity to present this is a great french excess which militarily technically tactically certainly looks like let's be honest but it's his opportunity because clearly in the background there is considerable american assistance there now british troops coming in there talking

about eight thousand african troops it's not going to be and further i may say the french are very reluctant to approach the algerian from to go too closely because algeria and france as you know have a long history in this. business civil war i think this may well be the last chance for long has to claim a victory before it all becomes obviously an allied operation and i think that's probably the main reason and the u. an e.u. says is struggling financially we know that france has already spent more than thirteen million euros on this operation in mali can they afford to do that can france afford to do this at this point oh i think thirty million euros is pretty nuts these days if it isn't in hundreds of billions you hardly notice and it's all borrowed money i mean one of the things to remember about all of these wars conducted by the west they're using professional soldiers or their allies professional soldiers and they're using borrowed money so the consequences in the

countries concerned the consequence in france is zero there are no bad consequences for french citizens otoh no taxes to finance this war so borrowed and that they're out there is no conscription so it doesn't it doesn't upset anybody too much and furthermore there is no adverse military consequences and. for a few terrorist attacks the enemy can't fight back us. we'll leave it right there stress both based journalist an expert on france or of eight hundred thank you very much for being with us. it's not so great to be in britain that's the idea some u.k. politicians want to promote to potential european migrants they fear a huge influx of from some easy used that are now allowed to live anywhere in the blog or two is probably good takes up the story as one official put it the negative ad campaign about britain would help to dispel the myth that the streets in the u.k. all paved with gold and the politicians certainly are worried and they've got it

wrong in the past you see back in two thousand and four the previous labor government got it really wrong they got the figures so wrong about the number of poles that were coming over to potentially live in england they suggested that there would be something around fifteen thousand polish citizens coming over to the u.k. lo and behold less than a decade later the polish community in the u.k. is one of the biggest communities and polish is the second language spoken in england and wales the previous year was the year of the olympics and politicians trump and trumpeting great britain and how long john in britain is the best destination the world billions of pounds poured into advertising to really sell the u.k. but it seems that for immigrants potential immigrants from rumania i'm from garia the message is that britain isn't so great after all so a lot of people used to use that sort of as quite far cicle the fact that the government is willing to trash its own image and to admit that there are problems

with the economy in disarray that there's a housing crisis and that there are problems with schools and hospitals everyone's been having a good old chuckle over the idea of a negative ad campaign and yet some people have actually said that it's quite insulting but for remaining ians and for vogue ariens but one newspaper has even suggested that people send in their own suggestions for what an anti britain poster would look like and the result has been really quite scathing. and quite harsh to britain as a country we've got slogans that include u.k. yuck and come to britain and clean the toilets or even britain we haven't left ourselves because the public transport isn't running so people very sort of mocking at the same time but quite scathing about the country and we also took to the streets of london to find out what ordinary londoners think about the situation let's take a lesson as these pathetic this makes messages it is hypocrisy in the day.
