next step it will the fuel that has been loaded will be heating the water that will be generating steam that will be turning that european and then generating into electricity and still is to soon to say that's a pushchair is now working as full capacity as there are a lot of testing that has to be down to have novel tire cool surrounds nuclear program how school something of an international outcry really amid fears that it's secretly planning to produce an atomic bomb so how has the bush up loans pacifically been perceived by the five wells will iran is indeed currently under un sanctions against its nuclear program and the last round of sanctions was imposed to this summer with threats that indeed iran might be creating nuclear weapons however bush sure is not the part of new iran's nuclear program that is of a big concern to the west that is a peaceful nuclear power plants and international experts are saying that there's very with. gens of proliferation of russian companies will start them that helped

operate that helps operate and help to build a nuclear power plant says that both russian and iranian experts are working under the supervision of international atomic energy experts and what's also very important is that russia will be supplying the nuclear power plant with its enriched uranium but also taking the nuclear waste out of the country in order to make sure that it's not used in any other way either other than the peaceful purposes is how many thanks for the update tell us you've been telling novack about reports. even just switzerland now where. they could be kicking out an immigrant's accord committing serious crimes including everything from rape to drug dealing with the idea is being put to a public vote in a country with one of europe's largest immigrant population supporters of the moose a reversal of friendly policies is needed is to protect locals while sees it has also reports ahead of sunday's controversial referendum. two years ago twenty two

year old life was brutally cut short we. know why son was at the carnival with his friend he was just standing and having a conversation when three young men came towards him and started beating him with their fists they eat him on the head beat him until he fell and then started kicking you beat him to death for no reason no reason at all they did it just for fun. details then emerged the victim was swiss the attackers were from the balkans and immigration sentiment rose giving traction to a referendum proposal to make it mandatory for foreign criminals with heavy crimes such as murder and rape to be kicked out of the country just a year after voting in favor of a law banning the building of new minarets on mosques the swiss are set to return to the polls on sunday with another yes or no decision to make their oath of paper

should no longer be in switzerland because they don't deserve to be answered so some people i mean if they cared so much money and they are really hurting our scrimmages i mean we can no nomadic september. you can't keep them all out we need immigrants period over the sure member of the swiss people's party which initiated this referendum is adamant that the answer should be yes eighty percent of the prisoners in this race prisons are foreigners it's ever very high every age you see our attitude in this these foreigners we have a lot of foreigners into it and who behave from within the law who respect the law who look for themselves they are welcome here in other words out with a black sheep a sensitive statement to make in a country with more than a fifth of its population made up of immigrants one of the largest in europe wary of a backlash from the e.u.

and the world this response and released a counterproposal. with amendments to the list of crimes and provisions stating that deportations must fall within both swiss and international law still either version is seen by some as another anti immigration move adding on to what's been dubbed as a rising wave of and immigration sentiment sweeping across the country and the whole of europe can really make a difference between a drug dealer who was from nigeria or from russia from india or is a swiss is a drug dealer drug dealer a better one so i don't make a difference between someone who is doing something wrong the law should not look whether he's white black or whatever what language you speak for the father of the the debate is a personal one he prefers not to divulge his vote but does say this those who come to switzerland if they don't become delinquent or violent then there will be no problem other one hundred very idea of

a proposed law targeting immigrants has raised accusations of racism and intolerance but could also be a way of saying that even tolerance has its limits no matter the outcome of this referendum vote many european nations will continue to face such tough questions the answers to which may keep boiling down to a yes or a no. r t zurich switzerland. coming up in just a few minutes a stoic in traffic gridlock the moment the mayor can fulfill his promise to get the capitals right out of the jam find out how city hall is trying to unplug the highways and byways. protests and demonstrations continue to rock europe today is getting preparing for a large scale rally in the capital dublin against government plans to cut spending when there's a risk of trouble with song groups reportedly planning to stage riots and initially members of the country's largest labor union

a flocked to the streets of rome protesting again. the silvio berlusconi government rest is happening in need is more european countries will be on able to handle that debt problem on and is expected to get a bailout of a bra hundred billion u.s. dollars this weekend portugal and spain insist they remain solvent an economist mark its capital your biggest economies won't be able to pay for others' debts. the german taxpayer is no longer willing at least is very very becoming very reluctant to bail out countries like greece where the example of very bad governments and we are no longer willing as an either to bail out our land to fuel the ailing banking sector i think this is a general incentive this umbrella which the. heads of government have created in under the minutes of the president of the european central bank. that everybody wants to be protected and the more it's raining cats and dogs the more they want to

be protected and the portuguese. prime minister and the finance minister pushed island to put themselves under the umbrella to be under the umbrella themselves as quickly as possible this is an inflation of claims to be bailout which will ruin of the eurozone sooner or later germany is economically nor the able to. bailout. the german taxpayer who has a word to say in all that is no longer willing to do saying something like that markets cover that faster political economy well financial troubles have also spread far beyond the republic of georgia trying to model itself off the united states in any way it can and to please you can also to break just like washington is a mass spiralling foreign debt money's being borrowed but where's that all going. to investigate. anyone who's ever received

a hefty credit card bill you know the pain of having to pay off what you well judy could face an eight hundred million dollars bill in interest payments by twenty thirty. to spiralling foreign debts. global of debt has doubled over three years there is an international norm saying that if a country's external debt which is sixty percent of g.d.p. then the country is considered bankrupt we are currently at over the forty percent mark of georgia continues this it is entirely possible that we will find ourselves in that situation. external debt is now a major concern for the country and the government has come under heavy criticism for borrowing so extensively one of the main criticisms has been the government's heavy investment in construction projects such as the freedom bridge which many people said was completely unnecessary but it was built just a couple of hundred meters away from the bridge that withstood on. with the foreign

debt growing the country's economic potential needed to be growing to. that with wine one of its only strong export products and a lack of investment in areas that will generate money government will have no way of paying back what they. call this reversal we think it will be very difficult to cover such large payments from the state budget and the country may have to refinance the debt meaning it will have to take even more money for me to national organizations and partner countries so just what have they been spending all that money on. well the need bridge for starters which cashed in at an estimated six million dollars. then there's the presidential palaces snazzy new glass dame which guess is between twenty one thirty two million dollars. and a number of other controversial projects including a glass monument and a raid which totaled two hundred nine million dollars. the glass buildings which

were symbols dreamed up by president saakashvili to portray a new transparent government now seen as grimly ironic. to spend this money. this is really saying this is really for. the comparable for the. city in carrying such large debts that the country has also done little to improve the conditions of the population. such. as. health expenditure so. economists say this foreign debt is now one of the most serious problems facing the

country the georgian government say they've used the money to rebuild the country and forge a bright future but for taxpayers that future it seems carries a multi-million pound price tag that they'll be paying off for a long time to come so fast. let's talk. sir what kind of condom are you i'm sorry what kind of condom are you were asking everyone today on them. no idea why he. finds out how his bedroom banter is helping to save lives in the u.s. capitol. has promised that tackling the city's daya traffic problems will be his first priority daily gridlock cost the city a billion dollars annually and there's also

a huge cost to human health but. still hopeful a solution can be found. the time when moscow's streets were this empty is long gone nowadays the city's traffic jams on a tory as being the world's longest this city has become so congested the problem has been given a top priority at a top level the minister of the miss plan has some good points if at least half of them realize they have found to be fewer traffic jams. that could save a cabbie like yaroslav up to three hours per day going nowhere at the time he would no longer spend breathing in exhaust fumes would. of course you won't get a heart attack from one traffic jam however if it's several times a day for many hours add that to other adverse factors and your body will wear out so much faster the problem was born in the one nine hundred seventy s. and eighty's when many of moscow's major roads were planned back then hardly anyone

imagined a moscow family owning two or even three cars. despite all recent efforts the speed of traffic has been dropping year on year experts blame it primarily on a severe shortage of space durable enough for over the past fifty years but the amount of road building was far from fast enough can you believe that we have three times fuel rods than in paris or the lack of car parking forces drivers to ditch their cars on the sides of the already congested roads and this is the old way of tackling a problem the new med promise is a different approach his draft plan suggests among others road widening tolls and removing most ground level pedestrian crossings public transport also faces a major overhaul slow a trolley buses will be chased out of the city center by foster alternatives russia's very early g.p.s.

glow now satellite system will also be used to monitor jams while traffic cops will be replaced by automatic eyes all the. cameras and monitors only cover forty percent of the city far from enough say the police the system needs updating and modernizing none of which can happen without a serious injection of cold hard cash the mayor is now looking for ways to raise the billions of rubles needed for the changes not everyone though is happy with the scheme a suggestion to ban trucks from the city during daylight has sparked protest from their drivers are not that big but the. night time should be for sleeping networking. people have rest at night so should we. ironically the time saving move could end up costing people more retail companies in moscow claimed it would be impossible to deliver goods at night while replacing large cargo trucks with many smaller bands would trigger

a surge in prices other. guys don't drive through the city on their own will burn them and petrol to provide for moscow's every day life we hope they don't think paying the trucks will mean heaven as follows cause it won't. but most traffic experts agree the mayor's proposals are reasonable as long as it's not just a publicity stunt and the money is found to solve the problem. and succeeds his name will shine in moscow's history for making scenes like this one history. r.t. moscow. foreign stache stories in brief you this hour now and over in seoul south korea former military personnel have clashed with police as they rallied to show. the country's response to all of us who are shelling by the north soldiers want pyongyang to be punished for the attack which killed four people including two marines tensions between the koreas remain high as the u.s.

revolution they think change. in a city where three percent of people are hiv positive higher rate than any other city in the country doctor and then to come on to elias says change is needed we're having ads on t.v. on the radio media mixed media facebook twitter on the side of buses we have text messaging people can text and ask for where free condoms are they can go get it their website uses bold in your face seventy's style lettering you can even take the quiz to see what kind of condom you are that is if you don't already know what kind of condom are you. small on so what kind of what kind of condom are you on them. before he protect the condom. but as the washington d.c. health department urges people to have as many condoms as possible the police department here well there are different story several accounts of people arrested

for being fact workers in the city police told them they simply have too many of these on their person to be just another average person looking to get lucky. in this city with the big phallic symbol in the sky at its center many here are just far too awkward to talk about sex and condoms and what kind of condom are you but some have already submitted videos that have been posted on the website. so why then when everyone knows why people should have safe sex aren't they people think that they're too big comments will be tight and words i think that people think that will spoil the moment and our ads address that as well people think that it shows that they don't trust their partner and we try to address that as well this involves fact remains when the situation gets dire as it has here local government hopes a few of these will make all the difference in washington christine for south r.t.

. wavetable villages business needs up next with catalina. hello i welcome to all we can business program good to have you with us policies to stimulate growth of the best way to ensure the comic recovery doesn't fall to according to the president of the world bank it's a view that appears shop at odds with the austerity measures being brought in across europe correspondent paul caught up with robert zoellick in st petersburg this week to discuss the recovery trade and currency wars. much of the debate is talked about the current account imbalances and sort of rebalancing aggregate demand that has a worthwhile role but i think it needs to be combined with a growth agenda so not only talking about shifting the existing growth but how do you build future growth this is a lot focus is on infrastructure development where we saw with china in the

ninety's ever seen in other developing countries investment infrastructure today can create jobs but also remove bottlenecks for future productivity growth but this is going to be true for the developed countries too they're also going to have to have their structural reforms in the in the currency area i think you're moving towards a system where the dollar will remain predominant what you're going to have the role of. the euro sterling and over time the chinese currency agreement be that isn't ready yet because it's not open capital and over time the question is how will they move to that issue so the currency issues i think reflect some of the lack of confidence in the nature of the overall economic recovery and again to put that on the right track i personally think the pro growth solutions are the most important do you believe the us is actively devaluing its currency no i don't think it is now the currency may go down but i don't believe that's the government policy if the traditional developed economies in the west want to most players to play

a more active role and here i'm thinking of the. shouldn't they have agreed to the key financial institutions like the i.m.f. and the. i think that's a natural course of development of this new system that we just talked about i mean so part of this is you're moving from a g seven g eight world to a g twenty world which has those countries at the table another part is that over the past couple years we've been able to shift some of the voting shares so that developing in transition countries at the world bank now represent about forty seven point two percent of the vote we added another chair on our board. for sub-saharan africa just as important and that is the staffing so for the first time in the bank's history level right below mine the three managing directors are all from developing countries our chief economist is from china so i think these are part of the evolution at the same time is developing countries play a larger role they also have to assume responsibilities and that's part of the

tension you see whether it be climate change trade growth currencies do you think you'll be the last american to lead the world bank first off those are questions obviously for the shareholders to decide i'm just trying to do the best in my term second it was very interesting how you stated it if you open it up to broader process i hope you're not precluding but if you say i'm the last american that would preclude it but i think that's an important point because just from my own perspective you know while i've served the u.s. government at the state department treasury i personally believe the united states needs to engage in the international community to engage in multilateral institutions my worry is more sometimes the trends towards isolationism so i think it's healthy when the united states has a role in these institutions now their tradition she would never find us head of the secretary general of the u.n. other institutions are safe for regional authorities so this is what international politics will be about i do believe from my point of view i've tried to strengthen

the role of the emerging countries both in senior management and in terms of the voting power and equally important treating them as clients so the age of sort of trying to tell countries what to do is gone. and losses close in the red on friday amid declines in equities and or prizes due to escalating tensions in korea has been the percent lower in my eyes it's close down over a quarter of a percent most of the it is to put one point two percent on expectations that. three and a half percent stake in the gas giant would be sold to us to teach it can best. now the week has been volatile for the us and markets with investors concerned about the debt problems in europe from talk about explains what other reasons for the decline. it's thought it's with decent growth in international markets but. tuesday we saw a sharp decline in all markets and actually that was driven by the recent problems

and second the weakness of europe on concerns that ireland is experiencing serious problems and europe will have to help them with with the situation but then we saw the growth the own wednesday just before thanksgiving day in just a russian market full of bits in general situation is changing that's for sure we saw some one to money entering russian markets and we saw the buyers probably first time in many many months i would say industrial which is very very important because from looks very interesting i think the board decided to cut taxes next year by ten percent which was taken by the market to very positively and the market also expects that. bloke of about three point five percent will be bought out by and i'm buying and that's also very positive for the market because problems were very well beat this week and that gives me kind of hope that said december will be stronger and i think the markets will be expecting the budget

expenditures growing in december and that's will cause the markets move further up at least it will give them a good very good support. and that's our rabbit of the week but you can always buy most always on our website that's the t. dot com slash best it's.
