4:03 pm
the leader of another salvation front said he would engage in dialogue. the government would resign and national salvation government would take over and the constitution would be revoked the president himself has said he will not listen to these preconditions we don't see this kind of happening any time in the future so we expect the violence in the street protests across the country in the coming weeks. for more on the situation in egypt let's cross live now to political activist who's joining me live from boston but just as a demanding president morsi resign will he be toppled like mubarak or could he actually weather the storm. because we don't believe that the most ration on the streets of cairo today will. legitimately elected president morsi and especially the constituency of what percent of the population most likely to support of
4:04 pm
mubarak has been there was nobody standing by him in the military have abandoned so i believe you if you were going to go but would you try to search and determine by what he does next some say he could have made the same mistakes and by forcing through an agenda and not listening to what the majority of the people really want. it was very unfortunate. he was repeating the mistake over. the lead in the. spread of the mubarak of egypt. i believe he was the same people that run the country to see action and that's very unfortunate because the outcome of barak was very very clear and i don't think he'd have a second term to look forward for with this practice and to do it on the streets and to tell it to. the lack of security the unemployment has me new to me problems early before forcing his agenda on the people but it's exactly that the
4:05 pm
loss of confidence in the lower in order that the corruption and also of course people's lives they haven't improved at all since the revolution the standard of living is very poor for so many those are the issues he really has to address now. these are issues just address now security and it's very very. real it's real dire situation and i was that is that in december and more people are arming themselves really looking for protection for loans for. it's really devastating to see you into a country. people like levy the theory that since. the early security they were living well but now they're living in a very bad situation but is it getting really bad one military spokesman said this could lead to the country forming a pop or is this merely what one would expect during a period of transition and that patience is needed. big
4:06 pm
issues the result was that steps are in place for improvement under different from . what i'd dressing them in the interest of looking at this core problem of suffering and focusing on making a constitution that grief for one single group made sure that one group would win a majority in the next parliamentary election this is not. going to country yet so let's quickly talk about the way the authorities are being dealing with the latest riots that the latest protests a video of a protester being dragged up the street is caused rule police brutality of course was a feature of the mubarak regime and one might wonder has anything really changed since then. there was nothing changing the reality that people work in and train under mubarak for years running from the c.m.
4:07 pm
books and that's the protocol the only way they know how to do with the actual or the police are still there and running the country with a seat that big. to the ship of mubarak and they don't know how to do differently they'll be happy and some people need to be dismissed. changing all the for one. neutral interior to use modern and more humane practice and tactic with a needle civilians or somebody who goes to egypt many times yasser is merely interesting to hear your thoughts on this thanks very much indeed for joining us live there from basra thank you for. the russian foreign minister sergey lavrov has met privately with the leader of the key opposition group the syrian national coalition for the first time both agreed there was a mountain to climb before the rebel group would talk to the syrian government all of us more now from the german city of munich where the talks were held. this is the biggest security conference really in the world and arguably syria is one of
4:08 pm
the biggest security issues in the world right now sergey lavrov sundown for meet seeing. the t.v. who's the leader of the syrian national coalition the foreign minister of russia coming away seemingly quite happy from the meeting he said upon his arrival back in moscow that it's well. the syrian national coalition seem to willing to speak with the current syrian government citing the fact that the whole reason that the national coalition exists in the first place is because they had previously refused to talk to president assad however sergey lavrov did err on the side of caution saying that there was no guarantees that this dialogue would take place bringing up the point that the coalition is so frank amended you can hardly really agree with themselves never mind sit down to open the gates the ations with the current syrian government syria featured very highly in the address that was given by sergey
4:09 pm
lavrov to the the security conference he also told directly to russia's western partners as a cold for unity and trying to bring in an end to the violence and bring discussion to the forefront rather than talk of international intervention he does however raise a few questions towards russia's western partners suggesting there was it worth while pursuing their month of regime change in countries like syria at the expense of terrorist acts being cast a blind eye to as those acts take place against the civilian population and the the syrian army we also saw around two thousand people gather elsewhere in munich in protest against what they say is they just continuing growth across europe that was relatively peaceful but it was also a topic that had been touched on by surrogate lover of in his address where he said that there was no real need for nato to expand in the way that it was in those two
4:10 pm
thousand or so people in the city also voicing the similar opinion. the pack capacity of the university of rhode hanton in the u.k. believes that the syrian opposition has turned to diplomacy because it has been exhausted by fighting president to send the rebels is deeply divided within itself and it has tried really hard. to regain its own terms with support of the united states and the syrian opposition coalition was insistent on not having talks with the russians but it has reached a point where it is tired frustrated and knows that it is very difficult to dislodge the assad regime it is something of a diplomatic victory in my view for the russians who have been at least publicly
4:11 pm
consistently. pressing for docs and so far the russian the russian requests for. diplomacy have been rebuffed. reports of extra judicial killings by the modern army have escalated all the way to the un the block's anti genocide envoy says he's deeply concerned claims by activists that the army which is largely back by french troops is committing ethnic reprisal attacks and other atrocities this comes as forceful and is on a visit to the north african country where his forces are fighting islamic radicals while there the french president announced the mission won't be long and will wrap up in several weeks after which paris will reap the rewards according to those men she spoke to me to learn from the council for the development of social science research in africa. this intervention does strengthen the arm of a group of junior officers who took control of the state and who are just simply.
4:12 pm
i mean the reports we get from mali from bamako it's holies troops just simply control everything they're not interested in any kind of development they're only interested in acquiring wealth for themselves they go in their rock banks complete impunity they control the economy now with complete impunity they are now the sort of. i guess you know the servants now. of the french and the u.s. but their real agenda has been to do sell of largely to to the french or to the corporations mollies a place with enormous. of all wealth your a new book site gold and so on and there's no doubt that french canadian and upper interests are clearly interested in occupying that territory britain is removing the welcome sign from its doors as the government fears the flow of migrants into
4:13 pm
the country might skyrocket it's already think the promotion the u.k. is a great destination may have gone a bit too far already pretty barca has more. 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 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 and from bol 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 farcical 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
4:14 pm
a housing crisis and 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 remain 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 westminster is bound by law so they have to follow these rules and they have. 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

4:17 pm
a complicated supply system he's going to pick up the story. 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 come from iran and it could mean that the u.s. has violated its own sanctions thereby letting us taxpayer dollars go to the reining in coffers those sanctions that the u.s. has put in place not only for 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
4:18 pm
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 allowed the way in 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 they're prompting those other countries to buy oil from washington's allies saudis and qataris so you could imagine how happy the gulf states are about this whole new business coming in but washington is resolute to
4:19 pm
put more pressure on other countries to put forward more threats like cutting them off from the u.s. banking system so to many countries the situation starts to look more like blackmail than anything else. the sanctions violations and rhetoric surrounding iran are all proving great creative fuel for a website cartoonist some advantage on another things or at r.t. dot com in the online exclusive section. recent football team fans are renowned for chanting racist anti arab slogans assigned to muslims for the first time supporters are openly disappointed in the move which some say is not welcoming in the enemy or to report on the boiling anger that's never far from spilling over . the games in there but the actions out here the israeli football team date hard to receive them is making headlines not for what it does on the pitch but what it does oafish the only leading team in the country never to have signed an
