all.

love the people who provide it even one of the family because he bought. from the front lawn enough and says police fired tear gas at thousands of protesters furious that harsher cutbacks in police and more international aid also. has plans for a missile shield adults a serious blow off one. pulls out from european missile defense say that it wants a bigger role in this project all details in just a couple of minutes. iran confirms to russia its total renouncement of nuclear weapons at a summit of asian leaders here join me for the details later in the program.

into national news and current life for most of us 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 his declaration came off today a protest that left eighteen injured off to police to gas today angry crowds reports now from inside those clashes in athens the clashes between the police and the protests there still going on. in this. building in the crowd you can see it is the truth about along the flare the building right. people hey i was saying that he was going to go to the name of the place trying to find out that violence still breaking out no if i see be 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 still that it's been said that the people who have the high and mighty 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 proposed to start the message there i guess about the economic situation that's been happening in that country and they want it to end but we have to think of the place that can find it until the end but you can take tales happening hailed in pakistan right at this very moment that is absolutely tales of the state the police all over the place right center 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 they.

made the people who really know seesawing. love to play some of the might still a thing. they can see right now then the police need to get a grand sight of the that's going to be another round of tear gas stuff something that happened a. few things i want to sell now filming. something for you still standing right in the. rain but you still filming ok. we're on the main street right now it's very hard to tell because even the protesters head they want us to see this this a just what's happening on the streets right now because the sun is setting you've got to take up such air you. i know the phrase. now they're saying at the moment a large number of these people are actually prove

a king the police can see them. like the ones he tried to. let. go from. the right. as we see the phrase the police are still classy that the baby got the green. people to prevail did he want to. see but. that was sarah first reporting from the greek capital and sarah still updating our. details from inside the protest spirit party underscore where she's providing details along with links to the latest analysis video. meanwhile the renowned euro skeptic in british. has been telling me here in r.t. that saving the banks is why politicians are so determined to bail out greece and keep it in the eurozone 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. policy there's something. wrong with the banking system it's almost as if there's a holy alliance of politicians and bankers. 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 did and say look these banks go bust these people lose their jobs these people lose their money that's about 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 suited. well you. know u.s. missile defense plans for europe has suffered a setback prague is now refusing to take part in the system czech officials say they're not happy with washington's. ski reports. 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 most co 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 is somehow related to moscow's continuous voice of discontent on that issue. they actually have their own check activist yun to mush has been protesting against progs involvement in the missile defense shield for years he told me that he thinks the project will only fuel international tension unless it involves key power 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 a superpower is that will be the biggest world economies in the in a falling through years is really going to make a lot of tensions there 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 seemed more of a threat than a reassurance of peace because of books was due to 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 what's the more real guarantees we get from our partner the us will do to provide security and vice versa i believe the missile defense project in the way it's presented now it is very provocative and unjust it can be useful and fear only if russia gets to participate in it on equal terms with other states because it is. on the way death from above looms over the unrest in yemen and the american they are stepping up their military involvement in the troubled arab country. the west to bring it deadly as superiority and then u.s. drone. allegedly killed scores of civilians as the u.k. where these helicopters and commandos to send to the restive region. plus what spectacular satellite puts on a show with the longest total lunar eclipse in

a decade. russia special representative in libya is on his way to tripoli where he'll meet with colonel gadhafi loyalists russia hopes to broker a deal that will end the nato bombardment and secure peace well earlier this week world chess federation president. who met gadhafi over a chess game in tripoli says the libyan leader has a message for the world. he asked me to tell the international community that the libyan government is ready to start immediately go she says with the rebels and armed with need to be specially those countries that started the war the problem is not between benghazi in the central government as it is our in-house problem the problem is between the current libyan government and nato and duffy is determined to find what they want he also said that he is ready to choose any path be a presidential or parliamentary elections but the libyan people have to decide for themselves about the future of their country i arrived in the country through the

western border as i was coming from tunisia within five hours of cross almost half of the country and i haven't seen anyone they are controlling the country as resettled nair would tell i was listening to a foreign news channel that announced rebels control of two times in the western front line so the vice president of the chess federation smiled and said we've just passed by these times i've seen no rebels in the area i haven't seen half the country as a seed being taken by the rebels while i was talking to my margaret duffy i haven't noticed he was very concerned about the situation he's more worried about the fact that a civil war is going on and that there are casualties from both sides that's why negotiations are crucial. to get up and get out iran says it has no plans to possess nuclear weapons during talks with russia on a key summit of asian countries the leaders focused on tackling the raft of economic and security issues which face them just as syria reports now from the summit. on the sidelines of shanghai cooperation organization summit russian president dmitri medvedev had sat down with. a closed door meeting and according to

a foreign minister for all that important statement had been made at that meeting. confirming. its total. 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 referring 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 us from the issue of new its nuclear program and nuclear nonproliferation iran had also said that it is willing to work with. iran is seeking full membership of. 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 also sat down with the president again this to have it karzai and as expected top things that we need to take the issue off the drug trafficking and 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. in terms of investments in helping to rebuild. afghanistan on his own and it. can be close as far as i understand it. is a country with hugely important. states the assyrian has always been. an organization. but agreed. now as for the 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 north africa and as expected that they had to just set officially what they have been echoing for some time now that 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 sergey 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 that you had best solution if syria but the c.e.o. had also made a statement on missile defenses survey that said that they do the last full missile defense system meaning what decisions made by one country or want to move on that matter is going to be dangerous threat to international stability and they had also

said that members of the s c o must. clear nonproliferation treaty so we'll get asked a variety of important topics having been discussed at agreed upon at the shanghai cooperation organization summit. the west is weighing in to yemen's ongoing unrest with deadly force officials in the troubled country so u.s. drone strikes have killed over one hundred people including civilians in the past two weeks now the u.k. is preparing attack helicopters and schools for possible action the in yemen. has more on this from london. they are becoming more and more involved whilst saying we will retire 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 very low flying so the likelihood of casualties is much

increased. presence there and it does 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. 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 helping 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 kind of those 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 drones now cia drones will have a much more use a real mess and much. 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 appeared 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 of that all the time and that is in case the yemeni government falls to al qaida and no longer permit these drone attacks in the country they need a base. from which to fly it's really a very much more involved in terms of both the u.s. and the u.k.

. reporting there from london than british m.p. jeremy called when he says that 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 its median age population is less than eight and it has 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 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. when they rushed in as part of the cold war armed anyone that offered to fight on their behalf and thus was born the taliban. jeremy corbin talking a little earlier there from london well there are plenty of other stories waiting for you on our website at www dot com unlimited power of the military we look at how the army is running egypt after the revolution plus also online. as long as each country is responsible for its budgets it has to take full responsibility. and the only right answer to that is will be about one german in pieces his countrymen are fed up with paying out for eurozone debt all that online at r.t. dot com. let's turn to the heavens for a few minutes the bright midsummer full moon has all but disappeared into darkness around much of the world with the longest lunar eclipse in a decade now underway tom barton is watching the skies for us. looking up into the

night sky observers can see a bright red moon that's 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 to night the earth moved in between the sun and the moon blocking out the sun's rays the only rays but 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 a ha 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 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 our stuff will store but 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 bobsy earth was in fact a severe and not flat however if you want to see the lunar eclipse tonight was the night to do it the next ruler lunar eclipse is not scheduled until two thousand and eighteen. reporting there from central moscow will be about the recap of our top stories for you in just under ten minutes from now but first within hours of the iranian president's pledge not to pursue a nuclear deterrent r.t. spoke exclusively with iran's envoy to the un's nuclear watchdog and he told my colleague researcher that there's no question of the peaceful nature of his

country's nuclear program because the. as already established that interview 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 tehran to

prove its peaceful atomic intentions this during an exclusive interview with us here at r.t. and we can now talk to iran's envoy to the 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. i'm pleased that cooperation with diane about fire. thousand manned the inspection has been made and no evidence of diversion have been found to military purposes this is a clear be love harolds the guardian of course negotiation and talk we have always welcomed negotiation and talk and respect and of course without any precondition.

guarding the release in comment interview with the r t of lady ashton i am rather disappointed because this sort of thing is that means. ignoring their fact that there are a has clearly made there is no evidence of diversion and. reports clearly even the last of the for sure all of these with activities and every gram of uranium ease and therefore. twenty four hours cameras and inspectors this kind of a statement is somehow misleading i want to recall that i arrange in vienna are taking the ambassadors and leading their different groups including i invited the ambassadors of the both from hungary and oversaw a special representative of lady action in vienna are to a to join us all together when we visited nine thousand. in addition to inspectors

they will have opportunity to see the realities on the ground and unfortunately. prevented a massive those of the to join our other ambassadors to go there was a lot of money forgive me for interrupting so you are disappointed with the statements from catherine ashton on 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 again the. director general i.e. not the fact that we have given design information question or about all or specific ation of now to the facilities and the p one five percentage is

that these are designed in fact to produce loyalty to your own your own which could be used. as they cannot produce material for a weapon let's say we've been great for the nuclear weapons therefore technically we do respect this kind of a state when 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 saying 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 a very letter very crystal clear that if the agency follow its obligations under the walkman with ality accept viewing the. respect that modality it means close that allegation so called american laptop then there of course if there are any question is sort of allegation of ability to measure whatever in the question ambiguity we are fully prepared to answer questions remove any ambiguity is which would be an answer you give that if you can 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 he had to i leave here did we do not have a nuclear option on the defense doctrine we are against it our supreme leader last year in terror an international conference on the solemn in the nonproliferation clearly said informed the whole war then declared that their nuclear weapon and weapons of mass destruction out of the legislative will be then we had i guess it and we are mobilizing all of the nonaligned movement for even five working hard towards the end of nuclear weapons and that is the policy and determination i assure you of that we have had one hundred percent or as bad as the on president in the history of the i.a.e.a. and sooner the better united nations security council should to stop engagement and these political in fact victoria give statements by here and there just company kate the situation therefore my advice is lead to do his job and of course direct agenda should also do is put.
