disney infringing minority and that they still god is their own. they're trying to they're trying to enforce some unilateral moves in order to change the reality on the ground to change the reality as it was as it is under u.n. resolution security council resolution twelve forty four always still is the session it's republic so in other words the serbs tore down in kosovo still believe themselves to be part of serbia and they're acting in that capacity now the western states mostly nato states that have recognized kosovo or treating them as a minority on the other hand states that have not recognized kosovo independence and not treating it serves as a minority but are seeing them as having equal rights as all of the citizens of serbia but we must remember that the key to the situation in kosovo was really in nato hands they control militarily the entire province so really

whatever happens down there is under their control and it's something that they will tolerate or not tolerate and we must also remember what happened yesterday with the burning of the border checkpoint we still don't know who actually did it these were masked men it really could have been any nationality we don't know whether they were serb albanian or french or even american we just still don't know that. still to come on the program with me kevin how in america's burgeoning debt is causing companies to cut and run. we have people here that it worked here all of their lives in a losing jobs left and right because somebody on top wants to make a buck and pay the cheapest possible give up sticks and go to india leaving former employees in the states stranded in jobless. but a serious upsurge in attacks in afghanistan is leading analysts questioning of nato has achieved anything during his time in the country. germany's finance

ministers war that he will not bail out every troubled euro zone country and the stress that in the future similar handouts will be strictly restricted his statement echoed chancellor merkel's earlier statement that berlin would not engage in quote unconditional buying of bombs from stricken members who was interpreted by traders as germany would not back to your own definitely and in another development the i.m.f. warning france that it needs more cuts to avoid becoming the next victim of the debt crisis economics author patrick young told me paris and the problem started a long time ago. the problem is look these aren't things that have just happened suddenly i mean the french budget deficit has been in a deficit the french budget since one thousand nine hundred seventy four i mean leaves are things that have been going on for thirty or forty years it's absolutely ludicrous untruthfully governments need to stop spending and they need to be very realistic point their budgets and there are fundamental problems going all the way

through the euro zone and we don't have any leaders who are willing to give us a sustainable solution this is typical of contagion we've been talking about it for weeks we have you know when you get some degree of illness and it goes through the body ultimately you have to decide when to amputate it and the truth is we should have amputated greece from the euro zone long ago we've got the situation at the moment where provincial libraries in northern germany are being closed because the . he isn't there because it's being used to fund people in the mediterranean i think german voters are going to get very angry about that very very soon and i actually think the political will is not there amongst the people to endlessly keep bailing out their solve their nevers it's going to be a huge problem because ultimately the contagion is going to hit and i really do believe that after last week's events unfortunately we only enjoyed closer to the idea of a talk all your real melt on and talking and money troubles just days ago u.s. secretary of state hillary clinton rushed to reassure asian leaders that america's

debt debate would be settled on time and no default would take place now the beijing seems to be losing patience as the situation in washington over raising the country's debt ceiling drags on the republicans and democrats have until next tuesday to find a compromise on their rival budgets all risk a default on a credit rating downgrade peter schiff from investment company euro pacific capital says that america can't afford bad relations with china as beijing could dump the u.s. dollar as its main reserve currency. we can't afford bad relations with china see beijing holds the cards you know we're dancing to the tune that they play the real problem for china is that there's no way that america can pay back the money that the chinese have already loaned us politically is just not going to happen is specially when interest rates rise i'm surprised it's taken the chinese so long to figure out that they've been throwing a lot of good money after bad i don't think we're going to default i think we're going to inflate which is just as math but you know we're going to raise the debt

ceiling problem is the debt not the ceiling the ceiling maybe is a solution but unfortunately it's going to be raised ultimately the chinese are going to impose their own ceiling on our debt which is going to be a lending ceiling because we're telling the chinese right now that we're running a giant ponzi scheme what we're telling them is that if we can't borrow more money we're not going to pay back the money we've already borrowed which means in countries like china decided they don't want to lend us any more money then we're not going to pan back to my they've already loaned us or when you paid back it's going to be with mine that has very little purchasing power because ben bernanke is going to write off the printing press this sooner the chinese start to stop enabling this phony economy that we have the sooner we as americans can begin to repair the damage and what's going to happen is when the dollar collapses americans are going to see a big reduction in our standards of living well as always in love a financial crisis to some is an opportunity for others and with money in chilled supply from companies in the west that taking their operations and dollars to the

cheap east ninety's pretty street looks next to how the american downturn is great news for india. it's the great recession of the twenty first century what started as a collapse in the housing market in the united states has led to unemployment hunger and debt crises around the world and while countries are struggling to protect their interests increasingly western businesses are shifting their work east to cut costs welcome to guard down a modern suburb of new delhi everywhere you look there offices of american companies the sign of the importance the united states has placed on this country during the financial crisis according to recent outsourcing reports american companies have been preproduction the country as much as that been fine in the past three year. carrier corporations is a multi-billion dollar american heating and ventilation company they say that over the past decade their business has shifted from being seventy percent u.s. base to just forty percent today we moving cautiously in that direction so the idea

is to have a good balance it's not about being focused on one market or the other but having a good balance and obviously you know but emerging markets like india china and asia such continue to be called areas for us globally. and carrier isn't alone according to the u.s. department of commerce the same number of jobs that have been cut from the united states in the last decade have been added to these companies overseas operations it's a phenomenon that angers many americans who are struggling to make ends meet i think it's despicable disgusting and we have people here that have worked here all of their lives in a losing jobs left and right because somebody on top wants to make a buck and pay the cheapest possible deal or more of mine dollars to go to stimulate the economy here in america i think are american companies should hire american workers. because of the shrinking middle class and the fact that middle class wages are decreasing over the last thirty years so many people here they

don't. do too many and i do think that is the wrong thing to do is. and it's not just manufacturing work american i.t. companies and innovation jobs are also moving here in droves as well as huge savings on wages many companies say india's fast growing economy and young workforce make it a desirable place to find staff there are amazingly talented people here in that part of the workforce and you know it's a matter of helping other other markets understand you know there are very talented people here who can do a lot of great work and it's not just about outsourcing and it's growth that these american companies don't anticipate will end anytime soon within the markets we have a good old from the last forty years as almost three people in this last three years put additional if you would like to double their business. to five use a confidence not often found among their colleagues in the west preassure either r

has been seeing from the streets of canada as. a giant corporations rule the day. this is r t moscow president event it was ordered a list of americans will be banned from entering russia it's in response to a u.s. decision to impose travel restrictions on a group of russian officials linked to the case of lawyers surrogate magnitsky who died in jail while awaiting trial for tax evasion and he got piskun off reports. according to a source in the russian foreign ministry this list will include american officials who are thought to all violated the rights of russian citizens and is moscow's answer to the so-called black list previously enforced by the us state department that list includes dozens of russian officials including some senior police officers agents of the federal security service lawyers doctors and others who the state department believes are linked to sort of give money ski's death all of them

are now banned for it from entering the united states the kremlin says it's possible to buy the situation since there are several investigations currently being held looking into the circumstances of the skis death and this blacklist was again forced before a court could make a decision on them previously the russian foreign ministry would also if you speak criticize this blacklist saying that it's an unfriendly act which may negatively affect the trust between the two countries also called it an old type of old school tactic to intervene and up why pressure on these investigations and promised an adequate response just to remind you said it was all we were who worked with a large foreign investment fund here in russia he was accused of organizing a huge money laundering scheme was arrested but died in prison before a court could make a decision on his case this caused a huge wave of criticism in russia and among the international community several separate investigations were started including the one being held by the

president's commission on human rights. double suicide attacks on government compounds in southern afghanistan have left at least ninety dead over thirty five injured it follows a string of attacks and the killing of president karzai is half brother but it comes as the u.s. withdraws its forces former cia intelligence officer michael scherer told us that the violence in afghanistan will only escalate. we're watching a charade unfold here in afghanistan the afghan army the afghan national police force are never going to be able to control the country not just because there have been trained sufficiently but also because they're divided tribal we when we are gone when they go leaves they'll go back to their tribes and they'll fight each other again so the whole the whole house of cards will come down after the united states and its allies complete their their withdrawal withdraw in defeat really ultimately what we have after ten years of effort in afghanistan is

a body count that's all we don't have any measure of progress against the enemy the kind of hard story the hard fact is that we went there with one mission which was to destroy the taliban and to destroy al qaeda and quite frankly we haven't killed enough of the enemy and their supporters to make any difference we instead tried to build a western democracy in a country that's conservatively islamic and deeply islamic and so we've failed to do that and the situation is going to remain violent and probably. detrimental certainly very detrimental to pakistan as long as we stay there as long as the ally and stays in afghanistan. also headlining this hour the ousted egyptian president is to be moved to cairo trial which is due to start in a week hosni mubarak faces charges of corruption and ordering the killing of protesters during the uprising that ousted him in february mubarak's faltering health that earlier raised concerns about his trial could be perspire or held in

the sun a result that he's undergoing treatment in right now but the gyptian officials consider the ex-president is fit to attend court. a double bombing sit in a racket bank where policemen were collecting paychecks in the northern town of to crete twelve people have been killed and dozens injured in the attack but it remains unclear how many officers were among them the twin blasts marked the fourth major attack on iraqi security forces this year though and she admitted the use of . these ended this search for the bodies of those killed in the massacre on entire island sixty eight people are now confirmed dead in that shooting rampage a memorial to the tragedy has been set up at the closest mainland point to a toy the island itself remains closed as the investigation continues. arsinoe talks exclusively to rand's foreign minister about the country's nuclear program and the possible ways out of the deadlock.

the worst the suspicious of iran's nuclear program what is iran doing to convince the west that you nuclear program is intended to serve peaceful purposes being the only international body that has the authority to evaluate our activities. and nor state is allowed to accuse iran regarding its nuclear program bedside i.e.

a bang to raise or to initiate any international action against iran this is why we pay no attention to the west claims regarding our nuclear research iran is a member of the i.a.e.a. and a party to the nonproliferation treaty iran is going to respect that treaty since nuclear nonproliferation is in our interests as well i confirm that iran has made its intentions quite clear with regard to its nuclear program proving that it is peaceful this is further reaffirmed by the fact that the i.a.e.a. did not state in any of his reports that there is any military activity going on in iran's nuclear sector as for their intentions how come the united states accuse us of pursuing non peaceful purposes while america itself was the first nation ever to use nuclear weapons killing hundreds of thousands of innocent civilians in japan this is why we have no faith in america's intentions. as history shows it cannot be trusted during our war with iraq saddam's regime used chemical weapons against iran

but we did not respond in kind since around policies based on shari'a law which forbids us from producing storing or using nuclear weapons at least the foundation for our constitution our policies and their views. the west has insisted on establishing control over your in human richmond in iran while iran remains reluctant colon can this situation continue. the iran has reached a point in its nuclear research where it is impossible to stop or go back nuclear technologies have developed into a domestic industry becoming a fact of life for many iranians now that we have educated and trained thousands of nuclear scientists how can the west or the entire world stop us from enriching uranium us for how the situation is going to develop there is no limit to discussion dialogue and negotiation we see it as a test for ourselves for our patients and insurance throughout our history of managed to prove to the world that iran does not give up in the face of suppression

and still it we are ready to pay any price and withstand anything that is no point in being enemies with iran the more they threaten and pushes the more determined we become to move on. what decision did you make following russia's proposal to settle the nuclear dossier issue what are the main provisions of this proposal. first of all i would like to thank russia for its constructive efforts aimed at finding a settlement to iran's nuclear program as far as we are concerned we consider this proposal to be a step forward for breaking the deadlock that's why we view russia's proposal as a positive step however while iran seeks a new initiative to settle its nuclear problem the west continues claims that iran is producing missiles capable of carrying nuclear warheads this kind of behavior convinces us that the west does not want a fair solution that it wants to iran to succumb to western influence and obey its orders that iran is ready for negotiation and cooperation with any parties in

accordance with a rules based on a new initiative to be put forward by the un what can you say regarding iran u.s. relations does iran intend to resume and. we have stated time and again that iran wants to have good reasonable relations with all countries except for the zionist state as for our relations with one. until they all depend upon us actions towards iran if they remain hostile there will be no relations full stop however if washington changes attitude toward iran and he places a still it he with a sense of equality respect for iran's sovereignty and independence then the essence of our relations will chines unfortunately there is no evidence of the us is ready to put an end to his enmity against iran america's actions in its wars against afghanistan and iraq speak for themselves innocent civilians are being killed in most countries certainly what i am seeing does not apply to the american

people will respect the people of america and the american public for their enormous contribution to global industrial and technological development therefore address my words the u.s. government and i believe that its policies are unreasonable and based on the logic of force this is absolutely unacceptable to iran. let's take a look at what's going on in syria how is the situation in syria different from that in rome. i mean it that this fight a serious concern and we should carry out an articulate and reasonable analysis of what has been happening in that country iran supports any mass revolutionary action as long as the pursue legitimate demands as was the case in tunisia egypt yemen or any other country but only on condition the such protest activities should be free of foreign interference iran does not tolerate meddling in other country's internal affairs with regard to its own foreign policies what we see here is a clear picture of foreign involvement serving colonialist interests the present

government of serbia and particularly president assad had pledged to ensure the citizens' rights and they have delivered on a lot of their promises syria plays a very important role in the region it has significant influence in the middle east being at the forefront of resistance against the zionist state and the pressure currently exerted on syria is directly related to this country's role in such resistance you can be sure that if syria were to manifestly give up this rule the pressure and the sanctions against it would cease immediately but i am sure that syria will make it through this difficult period and preserve its position in the region. the palestinians are currently intending to persuade the international community to recognize the postilion state in its nine hundred sixty seven borders what is iran's attitude towards this issue do you support the palestinians and their policies. i mean. we are convinced that the

whole of the palestinian land belongs to all palestinians and we will not accept anything that would involve a mere part of palestine we will only accept a single and divided palestine in iran's opinion palestine belongs to the palestinians regardless of whether they are muslims christians or g.d.s. therefore we welcome and support any measures aimed at bringing about a palestine for all palestinians. the book. if.

you want to talk over. this is true still keeps its secrets it's time to reveal that the soviet files on. the a cool. to the limits. to. fix it to. the so.

hello this is our team from moscow it's kevin though in here with the headline of day one thirty am moscow time belgium's breakup blues a reconcilable differences between the countries to have seized the south's tries become a region of france that's raised concerns the separation could spread. fresh violence erupts in a land that's already separated the disputed border area between serbia and kosovo the un security council hold an emergency closed meeting also.

u.s. china relations take a knock patients over washington's inability to agree a debt ceiling plan as america's largest creditor china could be left holding the bag next tuesday when the u.s. could potentially default on its love. next a cause report looks at the debt ceiling political theatrical in the u.s. right now. or on the air. i am x. times or stacy herbert this is the kaiser report gold saluting the world economy break down stacy tolls for max that's our first headline there gold gives a standing ovation for the obama bin or masterpiece of political theater so we've seen in america the political theater getting crazier and crazier but this

is the important thing is that how gold responded and obviously always a deal is going to be done right we knew that but we have always told everybody that gold is responding to this collapse in american empire yes it is responding it's responding to the collapse and free up money answer respond to the collapse and the american empire exactly they had a great run after world war two but now it's run its course and now it's all falling apart and all the satellites that rely on the u.s. for their largest all those military contractors and client states and puppets states got all that free money from a corrupt cop talk or see in america they're all being choked and then they want to throw money buying gold and silver the price keeps going higher and this will continue because no amount of growth will support this amount of debt it's impossible to mathematically impossible there's five hundred trillion in debt out there.
