and renowned euro skeptic and british year and nigel farage says saving the banks is the reason why politicians are so determined to bail out greece and keep it in the euro zone 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 faulty lending policies so there's nothing has gone seriously wrong with the banking system it's almost as if there's a whole other 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 hardly begun i did many cases it might have been better to do what iceland did and say look these bags go bust these people lose their jobs these people lose their money but i'm fortunate 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. wearing on now u.s. missile defense plans for europe have suffered a setback prong is now refusing to take part in the system check officials say there are no happy with washington's office and say here chefs can pull. 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 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 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 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 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 continues 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 check out to base the young tarnish has been protesting against bronze involvement in the missile defense shield for years and did things that would only international tension unless it involves key power players like russia and china. to check 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 place 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 that will be the biggest world economies in the in the following 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. and russia's envoy to nato has told us that the missile defense project sins nor the threat than the rest showings of planes because of books is 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 participant mentored by a person's actions to provide his or her own security the same applies to what's the more real guarantees of get from our partners the us will do to provide a route security and vice versa i believe the missile defense project no it's what percentage now 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. and on the way down from above looms over the end rest in yemen find out why america and the u.k. are stepping out their military involvement in the troubled arab country. the west brings deadly air superiority to yemen u.s.

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 within five hours across almost half of the country and i haven't seen anyone they are controlling the country as resettled narrative tell i was listening to a foreign news channel that the names 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 they see being taken by the rebels while i was talking to mom are gadhafi i haven't notice 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. iran says it has no plans to possess nuclear

weapons during talks with russia take a summit to asian country of asian countries focused on tackling the raft of economic and security issues which face them sassy reports now from the summit. on the sidelines of the shanghai cooperation organization summit russian president dmitry medvedev had sat down with you. in a closed door meeting and according to a foreign minister sergey 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 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 a side of from the issue of a new its nuclear program

a 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 had also sat down with the president of afghanistan hamid karzai and as expected topics that you need take the issue of a drug trafficking 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 there in terms of investments in helping to rebuild. afghanistan on his own and it's partnership with you can be close as far as i understand members agree with them is

a country which is hugely important to security of. the a syria 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 and north africa and as expected that they had to just set officially what they have been echoing for some time now to be its national community's involvement that libya in particular should adhere to the international law specifically the u.n. security council resolution one thousand seven hundred nine 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 daughter change its position that it is still against any military involvement in the country and it will not support any

proposal you have resolutely should syria but the a c o had also made a statement on the missile defense system of it said that they do the last role of missile defense system at meeting what decision made by one country or one group 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 to a nuclear nonproliferation 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. the westerners weighing in to yemen's ongoing unrest with deadly fools officials in the troubled country say u.s. drone strikes have killed a hundred people including civilians in the past two weeks now the u.k. is preparing a time helicopters and commandos cause for possible action in yemen lower and it has been long days from london. they are becoming more and more involved whilst saying well we're talking about we don't want to get any more involved in the

conflict and you haven't 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 need 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 helping the activity taking advantage of general civil unrest to grab more support more territory 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 they wanted to one would have thought that they could just go ahead and they like and of course we've now seeing president of. the cia drains our cia agents who have a much more you really miss much. lection of targets that they can they can 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 base that we hear is being built in the persian gulf region we're

getting reports of that all the time that is in case the yemeni government falls to al qaida and no longer permits 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. . and british. things the u.k. and america risk making grave mistakes and repeating old ones by getting involved in. the worst goes in with our starts bombing on behalf of. 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 a 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 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. when they rushed in as part of the cold war armed anyone that. it's in their behalf and thus was born the taliban. and there are plenty of other stories waiting for you on our website at home like unlimited power of the military looks at how the yawn is running egypt after the february revolution plan. and. right let's not let's now turn to the heavens for

a few minutes the bride a summer full moon has disappeared into darkness around much of the world with along its lunar eclipse in a decade now underway barton is launching the skies. 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 tonight the earth moved in between the sun the sun the moon blocking out the psalms rays the only rays that got from the sun to the moon were those that pass through the edge of the earth's atmosphere and those rays can be the blue elements taken out of them meaning that those rays the get to the moon are the red ones giving it that reddish to see 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 hot 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 power that you usually are not able to see they can also see a site that our stuff will store back in the fourth century b.c. when he observed the earth's shadow moving across the move in a curve and that was one of the first proofs the perhaps 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. bank with a recap of our top stories in about ten minutes time but first within hours of the

iranian president's pledge not to pursue a nuclear deterrent he spoke exclusively to iran's envoy to the un's nuclear watchdog and he told my colleague will research a 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.

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 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 the president recognizes the importance of talks for resolving tension around your nuclear program is it does it does it mark or a more positive phase in your talks with the i.a.e.a. do you. is a pleasure to talk to you i just want to reiterate that for the last eighty years you have. cooperation with the year about five thousand man the inspection has been made and no evidence of diversion have been found to military purposes this is

a clear beloved parents the guardian of course. we have always welcomed negotiation and respect and of course without any precondition. guiding the comment interview with the r t of lady ashton. i am rather disappointed because this sort of the estate means. me ignoring their fact that i has clearly mation that there is no evidence of diversion and. reports clearly even the last report shows all of each 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 arranged taking the ambassadors and leading the different groups including they invited the

ambassadors of easy you both from hungary and also a special representative of lady ashton in we're now to a to join us all together when we visited not as a rich man in addition to inspectors they will have opportunity to see the realities on the ground and. prevent their embarrass of those of the to join other ambassadors to go there is 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. director general by a noted the fact that we have given. information questioner about all a specific ation of matter still richmond to facilities and the p one five. years that these are designed in fact to produce. only children you know which could be used. as a blue shift 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 it has no justification when you continue to say that iran is working very much open dominate in a transparent so what 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

a very simply we will continue without any interruption of the we are very disappointed with security guards 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 i mean some of cases even we have invited represented a lot 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 water line with alethea except dealing missile bloody and the respect that modality it means close that allegation so-called american laptop then there of course if there are any question is of sort of allegation of ability to measure whatever in the question ambiguity we are fully prepared to answer questions kind

of remove any ambiguity is would you it would be an answer to give. 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 with his own mass destruction are at least useless for b. then we had i guess it and we are mobilizing all of the nonaligned movement for you if i could working hard towards the moment of nuclear weapons and that is the policy idea to me nation 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 that sooner the better united nations security.
