4:02 am
police of the time we take us this comes off the several protests conversion from the presidential palace on to prescribe as part of friday's day at the never and spray just as bold as you can hear behind me there is a must of i'm going to say as a people i'm running it's very chaotic these are not to take gas i disappointed narrow area in comparison to the space and a place where the gas is cooling and driving people i can just have my right now people are chanting in one voice the people come on the end of the regime this comes one day off. the islamic authority right here the high slum authority here in egypt cooled a broken that talks between the representatives of the charge purpose and sense of cultural to talk of misunderstand a face including opposition figures like mohamed el baradei and members of the muslim brotherhood in the freedom and justice party they made this a initiative called stop the violence initiative which called a piece of protest which called for the end of the violence on the dialogue and
4:03 am
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 meds i don't they want the president said the government to resign they want a different kind of a government takeover they want the countries to be revived so what we're seeing right now is a very chaotic divided egypt. and to miss and chartist a second chance says developments in egypt show no one is in control anymore. 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 world bank i.m.f. loan to egypt and all the western newspapers and analysts are saying what you just not going to get but lord if this is the destabilisation that is visiting the country but the thing is who can control things in egypt now
4:04 am
a popular slogan of the arab spring which i call the arab sting on a toll has been the fear has gone but perhaps the fear has gone by along with the fear 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 were accused of being guilty author of the deaths at the football match so really it's also it's also you know openly said that more can control anything in egypt are cowardly and you can always check out his twitter feed for the latest on what's going on in cairo and also that you'll find updates on both true his report who had. washington's attempts to corner iran with sanctions against its oil industry may have been undermined by the us itself the pentagon admits it is kind of verify away exactly the u.s. purchased over a billion dollars worth of fuel for its operations in afghanistan in recent years
4:05 am
he's going to check out now reports. the u.s. gives money to the afghan government to buy fuel for its forces now u.s. officials especially specter 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 sanctions there by letting us taxpayer dollars go to remain coffers those sanctions that the u.s. has put in place not only power 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
4:06 am
china so china upped its 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.
4:07 am
banking system. so in many countries the situation starts to look more like blackmail than anything else i 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 tension. from the national iranian american council says washington is so addicted to punishing iran it's forgotten why it's doing it what we need to remember is that the same sions are supposed to be. protecting us national security interests the problem is that we have lost sight of what those sanctions are supposed to achieve the same ones have become sort of an interest unto themselves we've lost sight of the fact that sanctions are supposed to be sort of a tactical form of getting leverage over iran that is then used at the negotiating
4:08 am
table to try to carve out a deal to try to you know have something to offer and give and take and they become a strategic objective unto themselves if you look at the last twenty years of. u.s. policy on iran we haven't actually achieved the whole lot we've done a lot of community runs economy and sort of ratcheting up the pressure but centrifuges are still still spinning we're on the precipice of a war and now with afghanistan we're facing these really tough questions about can we continue to be enemies with iran and not engaging with iran while we're trying to leave afghanistan in some sort of stable fashion. the sanctions against iran on the country's leader mahmoud ahmadinejad are inspiring our websites contoured it so check out his latest sketches at all to dot com in the online exclusive section.

great britain is not that great that's the message u.k. ministers blind to sensible gerunds under mania is to persuade them not to move that it's all part of an attempt to break away from the policies of attracting immigrants introduced on to tony blair he even got an award from poland for opening up britain to its citizens after hundreds of thousands of them floats their boat his point of boyko has well for us 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
4:10 am
wrong in the post the previous year was the year of the lympics and politicians trump and trumpeting great britain and how long and 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 ball 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 falsely call 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 yes some people have actually said that it's quite insulting but for remaining eons in football gary ends but one newspaper is even. suggested that people send in their own suggestions for what an anti britain poster
4:11 am
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 westminster is bound by law so they have to follow these rules and they have to allow anybody who wishes to come over in twenty fourteen to enter the country but a lot of citizens in the u.k. feel that it's insulting to those people and a waste of money having advertised britain previously. so romania looks like is hitting by and by tempting boy it's that daily newspaper that has launched its own campaign to show how good life in romania is and like this one apparently advertising romanian woman says hoffa which they say look like kate middleton and
4:12 am
this one should be addressed for the notoriously hard drinking great beer in romania is apparently cheaper than told water in the u.k. so if you want to see all of the posters logon to our website at r.t. dot com. and still ahead for you this hour security issues are on the table at munich's annual security conference. we are bringing live pictures from munich right now for you we're expecting russia's foreign minister sergei lavrov to talk shortly that and of course we'll be covering it for you live. also the divisions between jews and arabs to reach the stands where the one set of israelis israeli puns i'm good at the sight of muslims and that teams colors that and much more gratefully.

stooges three. three volunteers for your media project a free video done to r t dot com. your chelsea life for most co welcome back to an anti genocide and voice says is deeply concerned by reports of ethnic of apprise la times and atrocities by french banks government troops in mali the warning came as french president francois hollande visits mali in order to hail the success of his intervention against islamist rebels there and there are fears sectarian violence could now escalate and based journalist and acts that are in france monotonic things a lot of the visit is just political grandstanding he may regard this is a window of opportunity to present this is a great french excess which militarily technically tactically certainly looks like
4:15 am
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 further out i may say the french are very reluctant to approach the algerian front here too closely because algeria and france as you know have a long history with that area bitterness civil war i think this may well be the last chance on house to claim a victory before it all becomes obviously an allied operation and i think that's probably the main reason. and all melty dot com for you some chilling stories from our listeners caught up in the french led conflict against islam it's one family told r.t. how they were unable to vary their killed relative days during the intervention find this and other reports on the ground by logging on to our website.

4:17 am
activity and you don't have to tell this per person to do this you just create the right environment provide the ammunition and sons it's really algy's take over so you have well armed well prepared trained terrorists on the border region we would turkey and syria probably now inside turkey and therefore is the potential for a violent terrorist action against united states and we're right now putting ourselves in a very very bad position that allowing this to happen to the u.s. government still shows an facilities and now to some other international news stories and brief holes are they have court as a state oil company mags believe a blast to take such as three lions was an accident rescues and that's the search for anyone trapped under the rubble after almost twenty four hours more than one hundred twenty one people in. exactly what caused the explosion is still on.

4:20 am
anniversary of one of the bloodiest and fateful battles of the second world war the said stella that the hundreds of thousands of my compatriots gave their lives not just for the whole leg but also for world peace just as our allies did you know to prevent another world war tragedy diplomatic efforts were taken resulting in the end of the united nations organization we know that the cold war drew dividing lines soon thereafter pushing back hopes about collective security as it was and visits by the charter. the united nations i'm saying this not to start a search for. those to blaine serious politicians do not rake up the past in his address to the federal some believe that president putin said that russia is
4:21 am
looking forward not backward therefore the point of our possession munich conference is to try and identify common ground common approaches to building security. community on based on strategic was a concept suggested by the. summit in astronaut. and an r.c. summit in lisbon in two thousand and ten which would be remiss to say that nothing has been done to achieve this lofty goal russia and the united states negotiated a new stance agreement. multilateral cooperation is gaining momentum to find terrorism drug trafficking piracy threats emanating from afghanistan officially we have abandoned the mindset of the cold war russia and nato countries. saying that they do not see each other as adversaries but we are not here. to pay compliments
4:22 am
to each other with what we have gathered here to try and understand ways were. necessary. to agree. to address the remaining issues successfully if we agree on that we should admit that we should still. come a long way to match our words with deeds and establish such an architecture based on a legal framework that there's still a desire. to address military political issues not on the basis of. an r.c. principles rather pursuing. centric security concept as a single option this narrow block based approach is not helpful it is difficult to understand if we are guided by objective and rational considerations and it is
4:23 am
hardly applicable to policymaking in a global world where we face shared threats or. we should take a broader approach to your atlantic issues and identify common ground and identify our differences. also with respect to conflict situations in other parts of the world that impact on our security. hotspot hotspots middle east north africa and sub-saharan africa one can't help seeing some warped space but i lot of question marks about western approaches to those developments developments of the arab spring many questions. does support of and to government. justify terrorist methods can you fight the same people in one situation and support them in the other how can we
4:24 am
make sure that weapons supplied to the conflict zone would not be. directed against yourself who is legitimate and who is not when is it admissible to cooperate with authoritarian regimes secular or not secular and when it is legitimate if you were to argue for the remote book. in which situations should we support the elected officials in which not what are the criteria to identify that we should seek shared honest responses to these questions because basically we have more unifying fighters as regards the ultimate objectors because we are all interested in the middle east in the african conference. to be stable regions would like the nations. to proceed along the path of
4:25 am
democracy our prosperity would like human rights to be respected. to provide for the security of hydrocarbon supplies and other resources and we agree on common objectives we could probably agree on some transparent and clear rules to be abided by all external adult as in their policies we should agree that we would support the mcgrath agreed forms in which. there were countries that have been bombed on us with a path of reform but we should not impose external sets of values and recognize the multiple model of development that we should agree on not. stopping violence of the through for an inclusive dialogue in involving all political we're going west you know there's new groups recognition of the stain from external forceful interference especially without the mandate of the security council. who abstained from arbitrary that would unilateral sanctions should be consistent and we have
4:26 am
fighting terrorism and extremists if you put up with it in all forms for ethnic and there was going to be confessional minority rights wouldn't well yes that would have been asked question i'm sure that if all the possible result of the geneva action group of the four would have been put in a concerted effort in good faith. who took these steps the current tragedy in syria could be prevented but we should be honest in fulfilling our obligations without adding or subtracting anything you should really because of that we are going for another meeting of the group of action where you're a board and. hopefully it will continue but that's what i moved forward this initiative which is as regards the arab spring and we should abandon simplified solutions and slogans and what i think the realisation of this is gaining traction
4:27 am
i read. an article in frankfurt. and he made very interesting this points for. our assessments if we are interested in common effort for the benefit of all we should see the world the way it is we should recognize that the current operations by force and lead to chaos in international relations and may generate waves of instability that would be impossible to hide from on any island of security history is gaining momentum there are many forks in the road between when it was zero sum games and the concerted efforts many of these folks are visible today for instance the future of the pan-european organization. differences in in deep.
