the crowd. that is a good thing. all along the fence larry that would build a great. people of him i would think that he was going to go to the name of the place trying to find that pilot still breaking out that we not see good enough stuff i love the people on the street he's the nice people just didn't like the gas marcelle they really don't want anyone still there has been some of the people here the fire chief are breaking the police people still moving back into the central state even though you can discuss things such as by the place they turned up to take us to get the proposal starting i said there i go about the economic situation that's been happening in that country and they wouldn't. let me have a. place that can fight it till the end but you can tell happening haled in pakistan right at this very moment that is absolute chaos of the state the

police all over the place i see sense out of why the takeouts of think that so i can tell you it's not a pleasant experience the kind of break up the numbers of people who could. really getting. people. to stay inside. the menifee pretty nutty stuff like. play such an escalator. but then the police. can be another round of take up some speed up a. few things i want to film knuckle. something say still firing range. three months to filming ok. for on the day see right now it's very hard to sell

because even the parade at the pit they want to see this is a this was happening on the streets right now because the firefighters. you know. another thing at the moment a large number of these people actually. believe he can see them. like he did phones or not the ones he tried to stop. we. got to grieve for the people they didn't want to. see but. that was sarah firth reporting from the capitol. hill updating. details from inside the protests going on.

there now and you're skeptical british m.p. nigel farrar says saving the banks is why publications are so determined to bail out greece and keep it in the euro zone that's what he told me and. one of the reasons that everybody is so determined to keep greece in the euro is so that the banks don't have to take a serious hit on their policy so there's something has gone seriously wrong with the banking system it's almost as if there's a holy alliance of politicians and bankers versus ordinary people i'm sure that's what the people on the streets of athens today feel like don't think the banking crisis is over i suspect but it's hard and in many cases it might have been better to do what iceland bed and say look these banks go bust these people lose their jobs these people lose their money that's unfortunate but that's life and i suspect we're going to regret keeping the banks afloat and imprisoning countries like

greece inside a currency union which they're just not suitor. along the way the. death of a bard looms over the unrest in yemen because part of why american the u.k. is stepping up their military involvement in the troubled arab country. the first u.s. missile defense plans for europe has suffered a setback prague is now refusing to take part in the system check officials say they're not happy with washington's offer as a chef ski reports. prague wants a bigger role in this project the project of the european missile defense shield we understand that the initial plan mensah that only a preventive missile detection system would have been placed in the czech republic while major other major components of the system like the raider station or the missile anti-missile complexes in poland were meant to be placed in other countries like turkey romania it was an initial plan by the bush administration which was

scrapped by the obama administration when he came to office in two thousand and nine the bush plan seriously irritated mosco with many claiming that this plan was directed against russia the plan seemed to be much better seem to be much more convenient for all sides in that but in the past several years we've seen lots of contradictions between the wars in the actions and most who is still pretty much unhappy about the way this project is being carried out saying that on many occasions washington does something without the consent so the initial plan of the united joint defense system in europe is not working out so far with the statements by president reagan saying that in fact there are no legal guarantees that this system would not be used against russia because the rogue states which this missile defense system should be protecting europe from do not have the missiles which the system is intended for those missiles only are in possession of russia so clearly all this makes great serious concerns in mosco and the war of words continuous we

are waiting for some comments to come from washington certainly but experts are now trying to guess whether this turnaround but the fact that the czech republic wants to withdraw from this project is somehow related to moscow's continuous voice of discontent on that issue. protesting against involvement in the missile defense shield for years and he thinks the project will only fuel international tension and involve. russia china. but check people don't want such a pain here in this country we feel that this will actually undermine the security of both the czech republic and europe as a continent and so we think that it's completely contradictory to place such a system here in europe this system without incorporating russia without talking to also other world superpowers way china lake india or the following a simple piracy that will be the biggest world economies in the in years is really

going to make a lot of tensions on the global scale and so it we should be wise and just start thinking about building a security mechanisms and structures that will include all the big superpowers not just some. but more stories ahead for you in the program this hour including earth's darkest hour is just an hour away to join our team to watch the moon turn a spooky red color for the longest time in a decade. ahead in just a few minutes from now. iran says it has no plans to possess nuclear weapons during talks with russia really a key summit of asian countries they've just wrapped up their meeting with leaders there which focused on tackling the raft of economic and security issues which face them just as hear reports now from the summit. on the sidelines of the a shanghai cooperation organization summit russian president dmitry medvedev had sat down with ross mahmoud i did a shot in a closed door meeting and according to a foreign minister sergei lavrov an important statement had been made at that

meeting. confirming to dmitri medvedev its total renouncement of violence of assessing nuclear weapons reports statement to be made at a time when there's a lot of international pressure on iran in this regard now russia had also raised the possibility of a more constructive cooperation between iran and the five plus one nations referred to the five permanent members of the u.n. security council plus germany as well as the importance of increasing transparency between iran and the international atomic energy agency now as side or from the issue of its nuclear program and nuclear nonproliferation iran had also said that it is willing to work with s.c.l. members in it lifting. now iran is seeking full membership at the c.e.o. and the sanctions against it is proving to be a hurdle so it seems that iraq is willing to work on this in order to clear the path for full membership into this group now aside from where the leader of iraq

the president medvedev had also sat down with the president of afghanistan hamid karzai and as expected topping that meeting is that the issue of the drug trafficking and the drug production in afghanistan of course a very big a security issue for russia where ninety percent of the drugs in the country comes from afghanistan so russia willing to stand by if got a stab there in terms of investments in helping to rebuild the country to. afghanistan on his own and its partnership. can be closely as far as i understand it. is a country with the impact. the assyria has always been. an organization. and we agree. now as for the main a summit itself the c.e.o. has produced a declaration at the end of it and they have come up with a common approach. to the situation in the middle east and north africa and as

expected they have to just set officially what they have been echoing for some time now national communities involvement in libya in particular should they be here to be international law specifically the u.n. security council resolution one thousand seven hundred seventy three which authorized the no fly zone and with regard to syria russian foreign minister sergei lavrov has issued a separate a statement saying that russia will not change its position that it is still against any military involvement in the country and it will not support any proposed u.n. resolution if syria for the a c o had also made a statement on the missile defense system of a let's. do the last roll missile defense system that meeting with so should made by one country or one move on that matter is going to be dangerous threats to what international stability they have also said that members of the c.e.o. must adhere to a nuclear nonproliferation treaty so would get a vast vast

a variety of important topics having would discuss it agreed upon at the shanghai cooperation organization summit. well that was a reporting that let's talk more on the asian leaders summit with talk to me he's a t.v. and radio middle east issues he's in hamburg to talk through snow thank you very much indeed for joining us the shanghai group insists that they are not a military alliance in the region but do you think that the organization could actually undermine nato interests in central asia. i appreciate for inviting me i have to shanghai cooperation organization that was published ten years ago. there cannot. be security or station. in central asia and the middle east and this. applies to be different from the

us and nato interests in central and little east region particularly the division of interest in natural resources the middle east. but nevertheless the key issues have been raised in a declaration on libya and a statement on syria has been issued by russia and the asio members do you think actually that they could influence the u.s. and its allies involvement in those countries in libya and syria well i think. that they employ and we have seen in the past the united states allies. have been to that fact on treat such as iraq. and i look. we might so. any american intervention in the region the united. international community should morally support the democratic movement in the

region so democracy on stronger in the middle east and north african region let's talk about the context of the asio and its member countries and its relationship with the u.s. in many ways because yesterday i was hoping that russia and china has opened up avenues for russia and china to get more involved in central asia and the middle east is that at the expense of a friendship with the u.s. it's actually causing friction with the last all the friction in. russia and china are sending powers into the world and that goal unfortunately the united states and the west their allies are extending to economic problems. economic tensions that they have what the u.s. what the china and russia do not. as being the most problem is that china is very much interested in central asia and. in the

middle east or in natural resources china is the second. or. second country that he. needs national resources and this might be a. interest problem between the united states china and the shanghai cooperation organization what about relations between russia and china recalled interest of common interest as a platform for them to mutually pursue interests without any friction between those two countries. well as far as i know the shanghai cooperation organization both allies china and russia they have interests in central asia and middle east one of their interests as the united states

and the western allies should not interfere militarily in the region and should not interfere. democrates the. middle east and regional countries. russia and china within this shanghai talk ration organized ishi at the moment following. quote. the chair one of the interesting development today and we're reporting it here or not is one of our main stories is that iran has chosen the sci was an international platform to give its point of view on its on the queries ever its own nuclear ambitions its actually renounce any plans to develop a nuclear weapon and that was germany asio summit today what do you make of iran saying that in the context of the sci. well i'm not very satisfied with what the stomach republic of iran is saying they saw me public he didn't really was

trying to use. nuclear weapon twenty two years and has hidden a. hot past hidden. during the past twenty years and i'm not very satisfied i see you run. that twenty or do you think. atomic weapons and has the clearance. to. to. destroy the state of israel and that can be very dangerous for the international community even for china and russia. i speak to you on the. edge iran. not very trustworthy very interesting to hear what you have to say we appreciate your telling us all we got time for. me joining us live on your web cams there in

hamburg t.v. and radio commentator on middle east issues great here we have to say thank you very much indeed for joining us to share. the rest is weighing into yemen's ongoing unrest with deadly force officials in the troubled country say u.s. drone strikes have killed several hundred people including civilians in the past two weeks now the u.k.'s preparing attack helicopters and commando squads so possible action in yemen and it has more now from london. they are becoming more and more involved saying well with total we don't want to get any more involved in the conflict in yemen any more involved in libya than we can help it any more involved in the middle east as a region as a whole apaches attack helicopters we've seen them in in general. in iraq and in afghanistan and of course most recently in libya where involvement was seen as a marked escalation in the involvement of u.k. and french nato troops very low flying so the likelihood of casualties is much

increased. presence there and it does look like an escalation of involvement again as we've said so many times about libya the legality of this is extremely clear we are seeing u.s. drone attacks increasing numbers of u.s. drone attacks in in yemen and the reasoning for that is. according to u.s. forces is taking advantage of what's going on that and moving into this power vacuum which is being created since president saleh left and went to saudi arabia for medical treatment moving into that opening activity taking advantage of general civil unrest more support more and more territory so that's the reason for the u.s. paying these these drone attacks that's how it's justifying it but of course that works both ways interestingly the u.s. forces the military forces used to cooperate with the president on top of the intelligence that kind of these kinds of territorial issues but now the u.s. can easily say that there's no authorities with with whom to cooperate the

government is essentially not in operation anymore so if they if they wanted to one would have thought that they could just go ahead where they like and of course we've now seeing president obama ok the use of cia drains our cia drones will have a much wider remiss and much. lection of targets that they can. and we've also heard reports from a deputy provincial governor in yemen saying that one hundred thirty people have been killed in drone attacks just in the last month and that many of them were. what appear to be innocent civilians and then of course the last thing is this secret cia. that we hear is being built in the persian gulf region and we're getting reports about all the time that is being case the yemeni government pulls. these drone attacks in the country they need a grace with which from which to fly they really are very much more involved in terms of both the u.s. and the u.k.

. and its reporting from london while other news from around the world in our world up front is who the boss of the interests of the libyan town the one hundred fifty kilometers from the capital tripoli libyan state t.v. reports of these twelve passengers have been killed there are no further details of the incident nature was not immediately available to comment on this and we'll bring you details on this development as we get them here. pakistani intelligence says at least fifteen alleged serjeant's have been killed in the u.s. drone attack in northwest pakistan a series of strikes targeted a suspected militant compound near the main town in pakistan's. tribal area the region is known for many taliban insurgents frequently carry out attacks against the government forces. syria is calling on refugees who fled to turkey to return to the town their plans and after the army moved in to crush armed groups the government says it's regained control and will continue to pursue what he calls the remnants of terrorist groups eight thousand people left the town and are now in

refugee camps on the turkish border syria has enjoyed months of brutal crackdowns and protest to try and force the president to quit. while in just over an hour the full moon will turn a deep red for most of the planet when the longest lunar eclipse in a decade will take place and martin. is watching the skies for us here in russia in moscow to be precise tom when is the actual moment then we'll see the midsummer moon turned dark. clouds of the moment but in about an hour's time if the looks of the city the night sky and you saw the moon with god or near a shade of red you mustn't be alarmed what you are seeing is a lunar eclipse and it will be the first full lunar eclipse since the year two thousand now what exactly is a lunar eclipse well usually if you look at the movie the night sky from the earth

it will be illuminated white by the rays of the sun you'll be seeing the reflections of those rays but tonight the earth is going to come between the moon block out most of that light it would usually gets to the moon the light the will get through from the sun black to pass through earth's atmosphere and that takes out a lot of the blue shades of light and leaves the red ones which means that the moon you'll see will be. we are sort of ready now all across the globe the most of the time because of. this at the moment the planet will have a chance to see this eclipse throughout south america australasia asia europe and africa if people look up they'll be able to see this event happening unfortunately north america is the place of the missile because it'll be daytime there but for that sort of hour and a half or so when the moon is. the earth's shadow if you look at the moon you have a pair of binoculars or a telescope you'll be able to see

a lot more detail of the would usually be able to some of the great craters and sees the moon you'll also be able to see inside the. back in the fourth century b.c. when he realized he saw the earth's shadow moving across the moon and saw that it was caused and so we had the first idea that the earth may be a sphere and not flux however bill i have to make an apology to you unfortunately you're going to have to wait quite a while because the next time the earth will be able to see a full lunar eclipse will be in two thousand and eighty so sorry about that. tom thanks for that great explanation on why that eclipse is going to happen in about an hour from now and i hope though that you will be able to get a clear view and the clouds will clear in the meantime thanks very much for that. trying to eclipse their rivals at wimbledon but first let's get the prisoner's news now with.
