corporations rule today. on our teacher night president obama tells syria's leader to help the from sufficient to democracy or get out of the way as he outlines america stands from the out of world turbulence right. also pushing for an. ignorant scotland plans a referendum to go it alone from britain after nationalist with george c. in little falls part of. the i.m.f. chief submit some quids but it concerns the fund might drop its projects to draw countries away from the american dollar as it was the currency. but also in the program we're picking up that penguins are t.

heads as far south as you can go to investigate it humans are causing problems for freezing friends. this is r.t. international from moscow thanks for choosing as for your news it's eleven pm here in moscow and my name's kevin now in our top story for you europe swelling nationalism is now saying scotland consider an independent future the scottish parliament has a nationalist party majority for the first time it wants a vote on separation it's been part of britain for over three hundred years but many scots of long thought they'd be better off alone bolstered by their offshore oil reserves. report. the starting pistol sounds in the race to independence for scotland the scottish national party now how to surprise majority in parliament and their hell bent on

a referendum on breaking away from the u.k. . control over a resource and responsibility for the problems with country and be able to stand up and speak out in issues that matter to us. taking charge at home and making sure that we have a voice abroad revenues from oil and gas in the north sea worth an estimated twenty one billion dollars to the u.k. treasury every year scotland says the reserves are in their waters it's hard to imagine the u.k. would let the oilfields go without a fight particularly as westminster wouldn't be legally obliged to honor a yes vote from the scottish people the union jacks days flying outside the scottish parliament could be numbers scotland's ditching the united kingdom would mean the u.k. treasury lost valuable oil and gas revenues and it could be the inspiration for historically less peaceful independence movements in europe like the basques and the northern irish to follow suit and further destabilize an already weak e.u.

the s.n.p. would support other european movements in their own struggles for independence including wales and northern ireland if they so choose it's for the people of those countries to say what we want to do we would never support or condone violence in any shape or form clearly if other countries wish to pursue an agenda then they'll get a great deal of sympathy from losses and even those who don't want the u.k. to break up say it's a sense of wanting to reclaim individual nationhood that striving the movement system argument. it's all about whether you feel as i do that we are scottish and british if we want to be and remain part of the union which i think it serves. well threw for three hundred years the s.n.p. still has work to do if it wants scotland separate away even the most optimistic polls show only around forty percent of scots would vote yes and on the streets of

edinburgh people are divided the oil industry and about you know. all the oil just it angled this we've got money generally not. to other people well the scorn the self reflection. that was it's gotten. as much as close to risk. because of either feature or power off your own short we should have mentioned that then it. would be freaking out all day but make. sure you know enough about to get you to do a lot of things like a good one with the other the s.n.p. has time to bring the onshore ground it's putting off a referendum until the second half of its five year government it would be the beginning of a new era for scotland which hasn't been independent since seventy seven but it's always retained a strong and distinct national identity something the s.n.p.

will be playing on with all its might and it's. not agree more on this we've heard more from the scottish national party's justice minister who we had a bit earlier in my report in full interview he gave to us coming up next hour meantime close to home in the next few minutes currency affairs as the world's top banker quits to fight sex assault charges we hear exploding you know what that means for the dollars brain as these supremes currency. president obama's issued an ultimatum to syria's president assad to the lead democratic transition in the country or quote get out of the way and i was warning came during a keynote speech which has finished in the last few hours about america's middle east position where he also announced financial help for egypt and tunisia are he's going to teach you can listen from washington. it felt like he was talking from a position of a decision maker when it comes to syria hinting that the u.s.

could get involved if president also doesn't step down earlier the u.s. is that if the syrian leaders and their blacklist by imposing sanctions on him personally where it's all heading is unclear now the u.s. is now involved in the civil war in leone where he is clearly taking sides and giving full support for the opposition leader for a large part a large portion of the libyan population is very much opposed to any foreign intervention in washington's attempts to push certain people to power there could mean years of conflict ahead experts say foreign intervention could create a much worse conflict in syria which is the heart of the area which is in the very heart of the arab world if you rance closest ally in the region and it could send shock waves throughout the whole region on the israeli palestinian issue and part of the speech was very much anticipated obama pushed harder for the israelis to make concessions to stop building settlements at least he suggested israel go back

to pre nine hundred sixty seven border lines and that would mean what that means is giving up completely the west bank is jerusalem and the gavels free. he was very careful to say that the u.s. is solely an advisor here and cleared washington of basically of any responsibility to act there have been words before but never any action to really push for the two state solution solution that president obama was talking about the fact that israel is the protectorate of the united states and the israeli lobby is very powerful here makes it even harder to expect the approach from washington this sunday president obama is in the room to deliver a speech at the american israel public affairs committee a packed as these three in the lobby here in washington so with this statement in line they are sure to have a lot to talk about. from a talk show host and also a stay. the lemon in chicago very good evening from moscow mr lemon we had

a problem a briefly mention bahrain that's the key there briefly i guess all right of course hosts of that u.s. fleet but no talk of condemnation or sanctions over the crackdown there on the show your opposition this is not comparable standards overheats ok very good to be with you always appreciate we are it's. good to you who are friends shane waters new who's o.b.e. always if i hear if you could call it so i will write an article about obama's speech tomorrow already get it right all obama's middle east city killing this is right out of the way holes for america is oceana we have a policy of criminal war we talk reform we talk about peace my goodness we have. star no i mean everybody including at home we have a ministry of truth it hides the truth is phrased propaganda is it has fischel new

history out of washington. ministry or about corporate media. we have a manual go state been reluctant was a medieval goal seeking it because on it along with the memory of all the hypocrisy is where it obama talks about middle east peace so some say don't worry about the reaching but i will in soon. the same thing going on in yemen these are regimes that we support i wrote an article was lonely up there are some more oh he has written the egyptian military points are continuing to kill to arrest and to torture egyptians so mobarak is going to him but the poesie say he changed he didn't hear a word about what egypt is doing today steve a little closer i want to we've got a. all of them for a finite amount of time i want to get through quite

a few questions to you let's take a look at libya shui about president obama didn't shy from strong words against colonel gadhafi coming on top of the nato chief claim that the operation in libya will continue until the gadhafi regime falls now how does that all correspond with the initial claims that gadhafi is not the target of the alliance and they're only enforcing a no fly zone there to protect the people were everywhere and it also is old it's an act of war because it is only if you can take out clearly control radar systems so that i mean but you're in a way let me tell me tell you what america used to he libya was it has nothing to do with humanitarian interest for the libyan people is all about power and money if you control it just a few days ago i don't know for a t.v. reporter disagree or if you know this is this is new information to you or was just a few days ago there was a peace conference here briger with one hundred fifty emergence of america's kurds

weeks its official us policy. with these him or it was in it they killed scared of them they won't do it for you war. in the past but it was a sure america wants peace america is the one piece we want to see what we continue we want to remove. the libyan people to exploiting libya to britain could actually to colonize to control the tree sources even if it has to kill him or once he's for a prince supporting peace yes the obama agenda ok well according to you the what's the plan is here in egypt you mention egypt just now we heard tonight the financial help is coming from both countries and the americans using the term or maybe the buy their way into long term influence do you think. well tunisia barely used

but the regime is still there same as in egypt so you get rid of one here but a new here replaces new york and one of the lines i used in my article this morning was in egypt and you perceive the same thing a virtually everything changed. america will tolerate the city america doesn't tolerate them or procedure or war either it will be tolerated anymore in the middle east and that is the same. israel israel will not tolerate a liberated perilous state again to stand yes or no are going to come out of this how his problem is going to go down tonight that he made about speech backing a palestinian state along the one nine hundred sixty seven agreed borders part of my relations with israel more tricky. i saw that i refused to look at right away article because it is absolute rubbish

he's real. since the beginning of the occupation you see is absolutely is. absolutely refusing to recognize a palestinian state within eight hundred sixty seven borders and i assure you clearly. israel's policy it is america goes along with it i know waveringly. there's no possibility america will be legitimate cows stay within eight hundred sixty seven borders are two way to do it will say it's a no swell one will be ready with in-laws borders will recognize i can't. begin to steer parable. in isolated karen times from each other is seen as exists no we'll call it ok i was skinny and stayed within nine hundred sixty seven borders isn't our only goal because there was no as

the middle east the people the arab street knows the only thing people do a lot well is the person to are actually if they watch eric t. i hope you know what he would let me and in chicago their talk show host and author very good to have you on the progress row think if your kind words i was illuminating to hear your thoughts. or either now i will have more expert opinion an analysis of a keynote speech earlier on tonight in the situation of the middle east throughout the program here on out. there is a nation of the international monetary fund chief who is now being formally charged with sexual assaults put the global financial community in a spin that there are concerns that dominic straus plans down for will the rail plans to use alternative to the u.s. dollars reserve currencies others economics and geopolitics writer adrian told me those fears are well grounded. is having worth it's a national monitor if she dramatic way shows that the powers that be were not very

happy with mr starr's car was promoting the special drawing rights which in a way are the mechanism that would make the call of suffering that we are going to see that whoever takes over the holder of the i.m.f. will keep away from giving the strip to strongly participation in doing away with us dollar in other words the us dollar needs to be in the keep currency and anything which is seen as competition automatically puts on warning lights anything that will trigger countries to sell off the us treasury holdings is a sign of trouble for the united states because as i say those treasury bonds us treasury bonds is what allows boehner to have his printing presses going on twenty four hours a day if that were to be stopped and if america were to stop printing currency well i could at least financially collapse for three fifteen moscow time martin dot com

is the place to go for all we're covering and a lot more perspective what the analysis from a local news story thinks is the time to tell you about here on the internet and israeli attack is kicked out of russia accused of spying we've got the inside espionage investigation online on our web site check it out like to see. russia's earth man in charge of his booted out a story of progress today find out why the upper house speaker was just too loud for. a few. fish. if you. can. this is r.t. from moscow polish and russian investigators have met to discuss closer cooperation in solving the air crash that killed president kaczynski and ninety five others over a year ago at their meeting in moscow they also arranged for documents and other

evidence to be handed over to warsaw parties katrina following developments for. the interstate committee has completed its report and handed it over to the polish side earlier this year but the investigation isn't actually fully completed we do know according to the russian prosecutor general that forty three case files have been handed over to the polish side eleven just last month but that still isn't the complete case load of course concerning the investigation into the crash of the presidential plane which revealed of course president former president gave his wife and most of poland's political elite we know that the remains of that plane something hard sell which were also entered into evidence are also expected to be handed over to the polish side as well as further the documents concerning the investigations because various records and transcripts of records poland initially

was very much against the findings of the interstate aviation committee there was quite a big help for it when the lead of course by the former president's twin brother actually it was completely refused flat out to accept the findings of the interstate aviation maybe which of course included that the crash was due to pilot error mr catchin ski and many of his supporters in poland chose instead to blame russia for the crash especially russian air traffic controllers who according to some in poland should not have allowed that plane to land but as many officials in russia in maryland all over the world aviation experts. say that air traffic controllers simply do not have that kind of authority over the pilots of a presidential plane from both sides working very hard to make sure that everybody is satisfied with the work that is being carried out with the progress that is taking place and with the investigation results three top will do stories.

straight he's old enough. police opened fire to disperse the demonstrators as they threw stones and set a police station ablaze the crowds were protesting against it makes overnight house raid which left four people dead later confirmed the killing of two bell and a woman but said they were on the fire that troops. lost a look security forces in iraq to super cool to school because twenty seven hundred schools. in the north the country's been riven by ethnic strife groups down for control of the oil rich area. crowd gathered in portugal's capital angry at spending cuts being imposed by the i.m.f. to secure the e.u.'s bailout the protesters say the seventy eight billion euro aid package is interfering in portugal return for it they also blame the government for approving the rescue without asking them first. now it's next to the series of

special reports from antarctica showing thomas and the team travel to the planet's southernmost continent to look at whether humans are putting the penguins they're in a flap. the penguins of antarctica truly fascinating creatures to watch but are they in trouble from a manmade threat. back in one thousand nine hundred two british pilots in the falklands discovered a phenomenon as they flew over penguin colonies they said the birds would topple over as they lifted their heads to watch the planes fly and by then ten wins by the thousands were left on their backs and able to write themselves but is this story true but i think it's something that's why do you know months the public but i think generally regarded it once anyone that knows anything about it as being a bit of a myth to be honest and i thought it was me. as for the second part of the tale a special person had to be employed to turn the birds right side up after they fell otherwise they would die one german ornithologist we spoke to claimed that this

indeed was her job was lights out to look something like this and go every day to see where they followed by many to get up again and so some fans can expect heart because they feel like they should but you can't but. thank you very much a further look into uncas credentials left some doubt as well as a check with the chief of russia's billings house and station base located in a unique place between an airstrip and a penguin colony. no no we don't have anyone who does not show up here with all of the controversy surrounding this rumor we decided to go to the source itself to see what they had to say about the airplane method. unfortunately the penguins were remaining silent on the topic but careful observation revealed that sometimes the penguins appeared to have special dances in a hurry they could be clumsy and often slipped and we even found evidence that they

were highly intelligent and divisive creatures. so you've got to view the penguins are actually very smart spurts sometimes when they come to be edge of the ice you see even peeking over looking for leopard seals if one gets too close to the edge another penguin will push him in as a sacrifice to test the waters. but snopes dot com an internet busting site says that a british science team actually did research to see if the claims were true if found that the penguins only scattered from the noise of the airplanes and not one single penguin had toppled backwards but with no real evidence for ourselves we decided to do a final test with a little help from the chilean air force our mission to see if we could put this myth to rest once and for all. and it seems for now the penguin for safety and no one should be moving south for jobs that live just kicks in antarctica sean thomas. so now we know well that was just the start of

a trip to the south pole show and could watch out for a new report tomorrow on this channel r.t. . or than a month. in one of the most extreme environments on the planet this is antarctica and people have to be aware that they're far away from civilization sean thomas discovers what makes antarctica so special and attractive for merely the wildlife in antarctica is both if you live in the slums of. expeditions to the bottom of the earth artsy. great series you've got lined up for you go in a great program about ten minutes from now might surprise a get to the bottom of the very latest money scandals in his own inimitable way marks a short even tonight but it's those night business first with. thank you kevin hello and welcome to our seas business pollard's
