one of the need is of another salvation front said he would engage in dialogue on the condition that they would be the day the government would be to resign and national salvation government would take over and the constitution would be revoked the president himself has said he will not this and see these preconditions we do see this see this kind of company any time in the future so we expect the violence in the streets the protests across the country in the coming weeks according to activists yasser ismail violence in the country is partly the cause of mubarak's security apparatus still being in place. this is very unfortunate for them or he's repeating the mistake over the acts of the mubarak of egypt easy to see that they did i believe he was the people that run the country the same fashion and that's very unfortunate for the good outcome of barak is very very clear and i don't think he ever up to the second to them to look forward with this kind of this

practice in continuing on the street and the brutality and the lack of security the unemployment and yes meet the need to be problem really for forcing his agenda on the people there would have little or nothing changing create with the reality that people are working and training under mubarak for thirty years they are running from the c.m.s. with ebooks the dealer amnesty for the pools these only way to know how to deal with the actual moment where the police are still there and running the country with the seat that big the learn. the dealership of mubarak and they don't know how to do it differently and always check out our teams twitter feed for the latest on what's happening in cairo bell true his report you just saw is also posting her own updates throughout site. it's with.

russia's foreign minister sergey lavrov met with the leader of syria's major opposition party in his first direct talks with the leader of syria's national coalition were held in private on the sidelines of the munich security conference both sides agree there is a mountain to climb before negotiations between the rebels and the government can become a reality artie's peter all over has more. this is the biggest security conference really in the world and arguably syria is one of the biggest security issues in the world right now sergey lavrov sundown for meet seeing. the t.v. he'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 mended they 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 lavrov to the the security conference he also told directly to russia's western partners as a second 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 that was it worth

while pursuing their months 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 laughed it off 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 thousand or so people in the city also voicing the similar opinion. the impactor back here from the university of roehampton thinks the syrian opposition stirring to diplomacy because it's been exhausted from fighting president assad's forces. the rebel coalition is deeply divided within itself and it has tried very hard. to.

dictate its own terms with the supposed of the united states and the syrian opposition coalition is 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 consistently. pressing for docs and so far the russian the russian requests for. diplomacy have been rebuffed. human rights activists have accused the french back in mali an army of committing reprisal attacks extrajudicial extrajudicial killings and torture the outcries reached the un with its anti genocide on what he's saying was deeply disturbed by

the reports meanwhile france's president alon is on a visit to mali where his forces are fighting the islamist militants he announced the campaign won't be long term and long term deployment and operations are likely to end in the coming weeks then paris will require warrants according to farrow's manji from the council for the development of social science research and. get this intervention does it strengthen the over group of junior officers who took control of the state and who just simply. done it i mean the reports we get from mali from boma code is holies troops just simply control everything i'm not interested in any kind of development they're only interested in acquiring wealth for themselves they go in they wrote banks complete impunity they control the economy now and with complete impunity they all know this sort of. i guess you know

the servants now oh well oh of the french in the us but their real agenda has been to to set up the league to to the french and to the corporations mollies a place with enormous amount of of all wealth so you're 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. crude violation another dent in the oil embargo against iran adding to washington's headaches especially when the arrests are in this pentagon and the illegal fuel purchases paid for with taxpayer dollars more on that sanction busting later in the program. but first relations between romania and the u.k. haven't been to italy warm this week bucharest expressed concerns over london's plans to extend restrictions on remains looking to work in britain this after london's attempt to scare off potential migrants with ads highlighting the

drawbacks of living there are these bali boyko reports on why u.k. officials sought to sully their own country's reputation. 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 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 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 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 yes some people have actually said that it's quite insulting but remain ians them 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 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. remaining newspaper meanwhile has hit back with a series of ads on why romania is so much better than the u.k. among the qualities that appear on the list are beautiful women that look like kate middleton and cheap booze head over to our t. dot com and maybe you too could be persuaded to visit bucharest a turkish radical group has claimed responsibility for the suicide attack at the u.s. embassy in ankara more on that story after the break plus expert opinion on why turkey is now becoming a new target for terror stay with us here on r.t. . wealthy british.

thanks for staying with us here on our quarter past the hour now u.s. forces in afghanistan may have been running on iranian oil and a clear violation of washington's only fuel embargo against the islamic state the pentagon's admitted it can't vouch for the source of a year's worth of fuel due to a complicated supply system or he's got into has more from washington. 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 covering iran and it could mean that the u.s. has violated its own sanctions thereby letting us taxpayer dollars go to be reining in 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 allowed the way into 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 qataris 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 u.s. banking system so too many countries the situation starts to look more like blackmail than anything else. sanctions violations in a rhetoric surrounding iran all proving great creative fuel for our website cartoonist ahmadinejad and other themes are online at r.t. dot com has an exclusive comic section be sure to check that out. and extreme leftist organizations claim responsibility for the suicide attack on the u.s. embassy in turkey as capital the group condemns u.s. foreign policy and its influence they say on turkey's internal politics a security guard was killed when a bomber detonated his explosives at the mission's entrance on friday lawrence

freeman from the executive intelligence review explains why turkey has become a target for radicals it's obvious right now that there's a whole escalation you need tire region going from north africa into the middle east and president. obama administration. british in these areas has obviously inflamed. the insurgents to the point that they are now targeting these western powers however the united states and the british and the fragile also supporting tens of thousands of jihadi treatments in syria and in other parts of the region so you have well armed well prepared trained terrorists on the border originally with turkey and syria probably now inside turkey so i think this is very bad news is obviously great opposition inside turkey

and i think the the president other prime minister is behaving foolish to out actually have this close working relationship with the west and he's actually undermining his own country and his own security. turning now to some other stories making global headlines this hour eight people have been arrested when the israeli military broke up a palestinian camp in the west bank the camp was set up to protest against the expansion of israeli settlements into the area the army fired tear gas and stun grenades to disperse the activists. services have been held for soldiers killed in saturday's attack on an army post in northwest pakistan the taliban assault left a total of thirty five dead including twelve attackers ten civilians and thirteen members of the armed forces among those killed a spokesman for the group said it was retaliation for a u.s. drone strike on two taliban commanders last month. angry supporters of the ultra right wing golden dawn party have marched past the us embassy in torchlight

in stalin grad defeating the nazi war machine there are he's tom barton follow the commemoration. the parade here in modern day volgograd is to mark the end of that terrible battle seventy years ago with a parade by troops the laying of wreaths from various delegations and the assembled crowds here remembering all those people that died there as many as two million the top estimates say there's also a little bit of control to see surrounding the name stalin graph the city is now called volgograd. but the city administration say that they want on certain special days to once again refer to it by its old name stalingrad which is a controversial decision given its connection to that controversial figure stalin himself but as for this parade today this commemorative events it will forever have the connection the word stalingrad not with this place but with what

happened to him. seventy years ago the nazi war machine failed at stalingrad. here a reconstruction of the german surrender and dre is playing the part of friedrich powerless promoted the day before to field marshal by hitler in a bid to stop him capitulating. when paul is realized that hitler wanted him to commit suicide he said he wouldn't give him such pleasure and he chose to live. for nazi germany this military disaster was the moment hitler's hubris really caught up with him for the soviet union it was at last a decisive victory over the invaders the ravaged so much of the country this basement of stalingrad the largest department store had become palaces last headquarters soviet officers entered to find it packed with wounded starving and freezing german soldiers this is what had become of what had started out as the

largest army the world had ever seen. the velma six army had surged up to the city in the summer of one nine hundred forty two hitler wanted to clear the way to the oil of the caucasus but stalin grad but first a sideshow became an object of obsession for both him and stalin fyodor fort for his very life battling house to house as the germans and their allies took ninety percent of the city for the quest and that i've. read it was how the ball there was a river of firing and when we went to get water from it it was water and blood mixed. in november soviet commander of sprung a huge trap cutting german forces off from the supply lines surrounding them inside the frozen city by the end of january it was all but over the city was a ruin only the few biggest buildings remained standing. she was buddies but you know absolutely far people it was very important because finally we stopped

retreating offices the general started to learn how to win a stunning grant as many as two million people died in the battle their bodies still being discovered today but although the red army and the soviet people didn't know it yet they had reached a turning point in the bloodiest war in human history tom watson ati material and football squad whose fans are known for racist anti arab chance has signed to muslims to the team for the first time what supporters are openly disappointed at the move that some say is like welcoming the enemy or his policy or reports. the games in there but the actions out here the israeli football team they told us of 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 arab player because of family pressure is a bastion of israel's political right if i am one other thing i am the don't love

that the enemy will be a player in my team or you could see. the. chance like this we hate all arabs only the target of the race is croquet no it doesn't happen often but tonight's match is between d'etat jerusalem and a local israeli arab team the police are not taking any chances which is why these gates are for the jewish fans and the other side of the stadium is for the palestinian supporters now the match has just finished and as you see the bay tajiri some supporters are walking out behind me but it will be another hour and a half before the police give permission to the arab fans to leave the stadium but keeping the two sides apart does little to dispel the hatred in march last year hundreds of baitullah fans rampaged through jerusalem or after a game chanting death to the arabs and randomly attacking arab workers or they try to say that there are just

a few reasons five to twenty people but that's not right racism is in the d.n.a. of the steam it's in their blood. we fetched is a football legend in israel he was the first abbot to play for the israel national team and to represent the country at the olympic games. i remember playing against the steam their supporters cursed me because i'm an arab muslim if this is not racism what is it that problem is about to get a whole lot bigger team owner russian israeli tycoon at a coyote guide imac recently announced his decision to hire two muslim payers from chechnya. it's no good they're doing it for nothing these players from chechnya and with the jewish people in it with the team we have different values while other countries have faced international sanctions for racist incitement by funds israel has so far avoided such coast scrutiny but fears are growing that the beautiful game there is slowly being turned into
