drones allegedly kill schools that civilians as the u.k. where these helicopters and come on to the rest of. international news and comment line from our studios here in central moscow this is . the greek prime minister is promising a major reshuffle of the cabinet george papandreou says he's even ready to quit if whoever takes charge continues the austerity program he's declaration came after a day of protests eighteen injured after police fired tear gas at angry crowds reports now from inside those clashes. with the clashes between the police and the protesters still going on. in the state the thing. building fired into the crowd you can see to such things out along the side flare that was

building for a time. people him wanting that he was going to go to the name of the place trying to find the file that violence still breaking out no if i.c.b. not stopped by a lot of the people on the street he's the nice people just implied with the gas must tell they really don't want anyone spilled that it's been said that the people who took the high tea provoking the police people still missing back on the central state even though you can't take us to link sets off by the place they turned out to protest against the protests to start the message there i guess about the economic situation that's been happening in that country and they wanted to end that we had a thing called the protests turned violent till the end but you can just say oh happening hailed in pakistan right at this very moment that is absolutely tales of the state the police all over the place right sense of where the take outs of think that's all i can tell you it's not a pleasant experience he absolutely cannot break the numbers of people who could

never really quite scary and. people. mistake to take sides. that many people really not see so i. love to play some of them i'm still a player. you can see right now then the police need to. play footsie that's going to be another round of take up something that happened a. few things i want to still not film. the self-serving say still serving ramos. but you still feeling ok. for all the bases right now it's very hard to sell because even the greatest of headache want to see this. just what's happening on the feeds right now we've got the five bad eggs you've got the cake. even if you

got that. by now the phrase has. now they're saying at the moment a large number of these people are actually prove a king the belief you can see them during the black heat of phones and never once he tried to stop that film a. guy got fried and we get beat up the rays. as we see the price was at a pretty good still classy out the baby very hard to breathe a lot of these people have provided he doesn't even want to see phil because he got the peabody. that was her first reporting from the greek capital and sarah is still not dating ortiz toward a stream of details from inside the street protests going on at the moment where the school where she's providing first hand details along with links to the latest videos and pictures. for now and you're a skeptic i'm pretty sure m.p.

nigel for says saving the banks is one politicians is so determined to bail out greece and keep it in the euro zone this is what he told me earlier. 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 all their faulty lending policies so they something has gone seriously wrong with the banking system is almost as if the other holy alliance of politicians and bankers version's all the 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 hardly begun and in many cases it might have been better to do what iceland dead and say look these banks go bust these people lose their jobs these people lose their money that's how i'm fortunate about life and i suspect we're going to regret keeping the bags afloat and imprisoning countries like greece inside a currency union which they're just not suited. well the way the. death from above

the looms over the unrest in yemen right now why america is stepping up their military involvement in the troubled arab country. that's still to come before as u.s. missile defense plans for europe have suffered a setback prague is now refusing to take part in the system chicken fish and say they're not happy with washington as i think she had a cesky report. prague wants a bigger role in this project the project of the european missile defense shield we understand that the initial plan meant to that only preventive missile detection system would have been placed in the czech republic while major other major components of the system like the raiders station or the missile anti-missile complexes in poland were meant to be placed in other countries like turkey romania there 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 obama plan a 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 words and the actions and mosco 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 a united joint defense system in europe is not working out so far with the statements by president reagan saying that in fact that 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 moscow 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

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. and czech activist yan to marsh has been protesting against progs involvement in the missile defense shield for years he told me earlier that he thinks the project will only fill international tension unless it involves keep our players like russia and china the czech people don't want such a thing 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 play such a such a system here in europe this system without incorporating russia without talking to also other world super powers like china like india or the following or the pirate that will be the biggest world economies in the in a foreign few years is really going to make a lot of tension on the global scale and so it we should be wise and just start

thinking about building security mechanisms and structures that will include all the big superpowers not just some. russians envoy to nato was told r.t. that the missile defense project seems more of a threat than a reassurance of peace because of books that if you do the security of an individual or state consists of two parts the first is the guarantee given by law by the state the other part a supplement said by a person's actions to provide his or her own security the same applies to us the more real guarantees we get from our partner the less will do to provide our own security and vice versa i believe the missile defense project in the way it's presented now is very provocative and unjust it can be useful and fear only of russia gets to participate in it on equal terms with other states. well still ahead for you this hour if you wonder why the skies looking a bit strange right now you're not seeing stars. which is a spectacular satellite puts on a show but the longest total lunar eclipse in

a decade. first the west is way into yemen's ongoing unrest with deadly force officials in the troubled country say u.s. drone strikes have killed over one hundred people including civilians in the past two weeks now the u.k. preparing attack helicopters and commandos courts for possible action in yemen. has more on this from london. they are becoming more and more involved whilst saying all the time but 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 mox escalation in the involvement of u.k. and french nato troops they're very low flying so the likelihood of casualties is much increased by a 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. we are seeing u.s. drone attacks increasing numbers of u.s. drone attacks in yemen and the reasoning for that is that according to u.s. forces is taking advantage of what's going in going on moving into this power vacuum which is being created since president saleh left and went to saudi arabia for medical treatment moving into that being the activity taking advantage of general civil unrest to grab more support more and more territory so that's the reason for the u.s. paying these drone attacks that's how it's justifying it but of course that power vacuum works both ways interestingly the u.s. forces the military forces used to cooperate with the president on who to attack and when 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 and wherever they like and of course we've now seeing president obama ok the use of cia drones now cia drones will have a much more use a real mess and much. selection of targets that they can 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. drone that we hear is being built in the persian gulf region we're getting reports about all the time that is in case the yemeni government falls to al qaida and al qaeda no longer permit these drone attacks in the country they need a base. from which to fly really very much more involved in terms of both the u.s. and the u.k. . british m.p. jeremy corbin thinks the u.k. and america risk making grave mistakes and repeating old ones by getting involved

in yemen if the west goes in with our starts bombing on behalf of unclear who then i think that will make the situation markedly worse yemen has huge poverty and social issues it's the poorest country in the region it's median age a population is less than eight i mean it's the greatest social discrepancies of any country in the whole region the last thing it needs is more bombing what it needs is peace what it needs is people coming together and it needs overseas aid to help develop any government or political unity. to bring together all of the factions and all of the interests across the yemen i cannot believe that drove you to bring this about and in their haste to be involved the u.s. looked to me like you're in danger of making all the mistakes they made in afghanistan in one nine hundred seventy nine when they rushed in as part of the cold war armed anyone that turned up to fight on their behalf and thus was born the taliban. iran says it has no plans to possess nuclear weapons during talks with

russia in a key summit of asian countries the leaders focused on tackling the raft of economic and security issues which face them reports now from the summit. on the sidelines of the shanghai cooperation organization summit russian president dmitri medvedev had sat down with him. in a closed door meeting and according to a foreign minister sergei lavrov an important statement had been made at that meeting. confirming. its total renouncement of plans to possess nuclear weapons and important 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 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 aside from the issue of

its nuclear program and nuclear nonproliferation iran had also said that it is willing to work with. iran is seeking full membership. in the sanctions against it is proving to be a hurdle so it seems that iran is willing to work on this in order to clear the path for full membership into this group now aside from the president had also sat down with the president of afghanistan hamid karzai and as expected top things that to me take the issue off 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 a bear in terms of investments in helping to rebuild. afghanistan on his own and it's. always a shoe can be clearly seen this far as i understand members agree with is

a country which is hugely important to security of. the of syria has always been an issue always will be. but a group. now as for the a main a summit itself b s c o had to produce a declaration at the end of it and they had come up with a common approach. to the situation in the middle east and north africa and as expected that they had to just set officially what they have been echoing for some time now the national community's involvement in libya in particular should adhere to the international law specifically the un 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 had 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 missile defenses survey that said that they view the last roll of missile defense system it meaning what decision made by one country or one rule on the matter is going to be dangerous threat to international stability and they had also said that members of the s e o must edge here. non-proliferation treaty so we'll get a vast vast a variety of important topics having been discussed at agreed upon at the shanghai cooperation organization summit. as i see the reporting there other news now for you from around the world this hour an old world update a nato airstrike has hit a bus at the entrance to the libyan town of hundred fifty kilometers from the capital tripoli libyan state t.v. reports at least twelve passengers have been killed and no further details of the incident and nato was not immediately available to comment we'll bring you more details on this as we get them here at r.t. . syria's korean refugees who fled to turkey to return to the term their branding

a lunar eclipse the first full lunar eclipse since the year two thousand or exactly is a lunar eclipse well usually when you look up at the moon in the night sky it's a reflection of the sun's rays that makes it look white but tonight the earth moved in between the sun and the moon blocking out the sun's rays the only raise that got from the sun to the moon were those that were passed through the edge of the earth's atmosphere and those rays can't be the blue elements taken out of them meaning that those rays that get to the moon are the red ones giving it that reddish teams well all around the globe people are watching this lunar eclipse the only place that can't see it is north america because it's daytime there at the moment but for an hour and a half to the full eclipse of the of the moon people looking at the moon especially if they're using telescopes and binoculars can see extra detail on the moon's

surface the great craters and sees that the moon have that you usually are not able to see they can also see a site that aristotle store back in the fourth century b.c. when he observed the earth's shadow moving across the moon in a curve and that was one of the first proofs the bahamas the earth was in fact a sphere and not flat however if you want to see the lunar eclipse tonight was the night to do it the next true lunar eclipse is not scheduled until two thousand and eighteen. talk about reporting there from central moscow well la i'll be back with a recap of our top stories for in about ten minutes from now but first within hours of the iranian president's pledge not to pursue a nuclear deterrent spoke exclusively with iran's envoy to the un's nuclear watchdog he told my colleague rory sushi that there's no question of the peaceful nature of his country's nuclear program because the i.a.e.a. has already established that that interview is coming up next on r.t. .

now iran is promising transparency and constructive interaction with the un's nuclear watchdog a few days ago the e.u.'s foreign policy chief baroness ashton called on to iran to prove its peaceful atomic intentions this during an exclusive interview with us here at r.t. and we can all talk to iran's envoy national atomic energy agency ali asghar soltanieh thank you for joining us today the russian foreign minister sergei lavrov

has told the press in our star no the president recognizes the importance of talks for resolving tension around your nuclear program because it does it does it mark a more positive phase in your talks with the i.a.e.a. to you. is a pleasure to talk to you i just want to reiterate that for the last eighty years you have unprecedented cooperation with. about five thousand manned the inspection has been made and no evidence of diversion have been found to military purposes. this is a clear we love harolds the guardian of course. we have always welcomed negotiation and talk and respect and of course without any precondition. the guardian the recent comment interview with the r t of lady ashton i am rather disappointed because this sort of is that means. me ignoring their fact that there are

a has clearly mation that there is no evidence of diversion and reports clearly even the last report shows all enrichment activities and every gram of uranium ease on their fullest. twenty four hours cameras and inspectors he is going to his statements is somehow misleading i want also to recall that i arranged taking the ambassadors and leading their different groups including i invited the ambassadors of either you both from hungary and or saw a special representative of lady ashton in vienna are to a to join us all together when we visited not as a ritual and in addition to inspectors they will have opportunity to see the realities on the ground and unfortunately. prevented a mass of those of the to join other ambassadors to go there was a lot of money forgive me for interrupting so you're disappointed with the

statements from catherine ashtown the ashton the e.u. high representative on foreign and security policy but you're saying that iran is being proactive and arms wide open for allowing the i.a.e.a. into your country to inspect your nuclear facilities when it comes to catherine ashton she told us here at r.t. that iran has three thousand four hundred kilos of low enrich uranium which doesn't really have much purpose if you're not going to use it in a military program what is it for. i categorically reject i think they should read it again. director general i.e. not the fact that we have given design information question are about all a specific ation of now to the facilities and the p one five. years these are designed in fact to produce learn each year a new home which could be using power but. they cannot produce material for

a weepin let's say we've been great for the nuclear weapons therefore technically we do respect this kind of a state when it has no justification when you continue to say that iran is working very much opened our been in a transparent transparent way with the i.a.e.a. and the international community and here we have today are going to try and say that he wants a more transparent and open relationship with the west what is it specifically specifically that you can bring to the table to diffuse the growing tension around your nuclear program. very simply we will continue without any interruption of the we are very disappointed with secret calls and sanctions have not made any decision hasty decision in and contrary we continue to be fully committed to n.p.t. our years specters are and will be without any difficulty able to access to all our nuclear activities and in some of cases even we have invited representative of different countries to be present as

a sort of maximum transparency we will continue to do so and we have said in the last letter of our vice president the head of atomic energy to a director general he said in their very letter very crystal clear that if the agency follow its obligations under the war plan with ality accept dealing the. respect of modality it means closed out allegations so called american laptop then there of course if there are any question is sort of allegation of military to measure whatever in the question ambiguity we are fully prepared to answer questions and remove any ambiguity is which would be an accurate is a very sort of your method to prove unquestionably that iran does not have a nuclear weapons program by allowing inspectors unfettered access to all of your nuclear facilities. we have said here that i repeated we do not have nuclear option in and defense doctrine we are against it our supreme leader last year in terror on international conference and disarmament are nonproliferation clearly said informed

the whole war then declared that their nuclear weapon and weapons of mass destruction are deliberately forbidden we are against it and we are mobilizing all nonaligned movement for you in fact working hard towards disarmament of nuclear weapons and that is the policy and determination i assure you of that we have had one hundred percent transparency unprecedented in the history of the i.a.e.a. and the sooner the better united nations security council should stop engagement and these political in fact victoria statements by here and there just complicate the situation and therefore my advice is lead to do his job and of course director general should also do is professional work not to put pressure on iran based on united nations security council resolution and swore a suspension or additional protocol because it won't work mr. tony the iranian envoy to the i.a.e.a. the international atomic energy agency it's been

a pleasure talking to you live from vienna thank you very much leisure talking to you thank you very much. to a substantial degree and one form or another socialism has spread the shadow of human regimentation over most of the nations of europe and the shadow is an approaching. early twenty first century military bases a network of this is a. form. that the united states is trying to establish most americans have no idea there are more than a quarter of a million or more than two hundred fifty thousand u.s. troops stationed on these bases all.
