and one would be welcome in france the biggest party in the northern half wants the split to experts say belgium's already divided people don't know any more about the other half of the country the flemish people don't know who are the popular singers or writers today in the french speaking part and vice versa king albert fears bill jim's national day last week was its last he added the crisis threatens not just every belgian but european integration itself and continual hope in the e.u. is scared that the divorce of belgium will spark of the rest of europe catalonia leaving spain scotland leaving britain were already seeing separatist marchers in mixed community towns here turned violent with guns getting pulled to take just one big clash for brussels to become serial that's conflicts over a mass killing not suffered in europe since world war two neighbors turned on each other as you can slove a broke up and the determination of regional identity is not to be underestimated

french unionists say they have the flag and everything else worked out to become france's twenty eighth region all that's left are the details the new bush will see brussels. the u.n. security council has pledged to keep a large contingent of peacekeepers to quell any violence in northern kosovo so they requested the majesty meeting falling tension at the border checkpoints with fresh clashes began one course of a police seize t. disputed border crossings to prevent the transit of goods from said it so which dominate northern call so i was outraged by that means with you it's just trying one of the checkpoints they say peacekeeping moved into still divided but the situation remains tense and political analyst alexander pov it in belgrade said shouldn't be treated as infringing minority land space to regard as that. 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 a session this republic so in other words the serbs tore down of course those who believe themselves to be part of serbia and they're acting in that capacity now the western states mostly nato states to recognize course war 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 who 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. this is our protocol on the program america's burgeoning debt is causing companies to cut and run. we have people with here that have worked here all of their lives and losing jobs left and right because somebody on top wants to make a buck and paid the cheapest possible. it sticks to india leaving where employees in this state is trying to. libyan rebels lose their leading military command as adults emerge about which side carried out the cessation. germany's finance minister has warned that he will no bailout every troubled eurozone country and stressed that in the future is similar one doubts will be strictly restricted and his statement echoed chancellor merkel's earlier statement

that the lane would not engage in unconditional buy of bones from stricken members and other development it's a warning france that it needs more cuts to avoid becoming the next victim of the debt crisis economists the author economics also patrick young says power says problems started long 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 these 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 about 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 money 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 saw their neighbors 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 total euro meltdown. debt ceiling standoff has taken a need to and with china and the debate as america's biggest creditor it has slammed the u.s. government full jeopardizing the world economy as the white house fails to reach an agreement on raising its debt ceiling the republicans and democrats have until next tuesday to find a compromise on their rival budgets always get a full two and

a credit rating downgrade and the weak u.s. secretary of state hillary clinton rushed to show asian leaders that america's debt debate would be settled on time no default would take place and the full from the business insider says china should be wary because of that because they have too much at stake. there's definitely going to be a lot of nervousness all around the world and china has reason to be nervous not necessarily because they're going to miss an interest payment but just because they have so much invested economically with the united states and we're making ourselves look like fools and they're wondering what kind of partner economically they have and whether they should be holding so many dollar assets so it's not a matter of they're going to miss an interest payment it's more just the long term . or medium term the d.c. is really embarrassing itself. daniel mcdowell from the university of the genie is says america's reputation has already been damaged. china is not going to be

pleased with the united states has to do really interest payments for so everybody is a resort already to take in your bags the august second deadline reaching for the leaders in washington to agree to the biggest again because cause you are. the best of the united states has never defaulted on its debt is something that. is the reason people are attracted to buy u.s. debt in the first place and it's what's in the book which it will be so it's to deficit spend good decades now because there's a insatiable appetite for it step depending on it so it would be like i said it will be the third strike against us in three years it would be responsible it's going to be hard to be met it seems to go to china and say you need to. be a currency to appreciate charitable to say well you know maybe you should not have developed about your debt it's sort of like throwing stones and we're going to graft house as the saying goes once the united states took that it's pretty hard to look at other countries and so you need to fix your own problems. catching video or

the command the rebel forces in libya has been killed along with two of his aides. you know as was arrested by rebel authorities for questioning about his alleged family ties with the libyan leader colonel gadhafi circumstances of his death are still unknown by the national transitional council say the commander was shot dead by for gadhafi assailants during all eunice was formerly been interior minister who defected to the rebel side in february but it for ransom visor at the antiterrorism says there are conflicting reports over the killing. there are two theories here theory number one is that he has been in communications seems according to some reports with the regime of khadafi and therefore he has been called upon for investigation what is unknown according to the sciri is that why he was killed while he was going for the investigation the second theory which could be even more

serious or dangerous is that he could have been eliminated by a faction in militia faction within the council within the rebels and both series tells us that now washington and brussels i guess are going to be very concerned about the internal military situation inside the rebels' camp the consequences of his killing could be. short ramification or vast or medications if indeed he was only an individual or even a high ranking official who had still relationships with the gadhafi regime then his killing will be it will be the end of the story if it's the other case that is he and others inside the council the interim council of the bin ghazi power have been in opposition to another force a militia force it could be other military opponents it could be the islamist militia of the jihadist or another tribe if the case is deeper then the concern is

more serious in the west that there could be more clashes in the future or more tensions within the military camp at a time where the rebel seems to be on the offensive so we're going to wait and see the results of the investigations and most likely the nato command would want to be part of these investigations. double suicide attacks on government compounds in southern afghanistan has left at least nineteen dead and over thirty five injured it follows a string of attacks and the killing of president karzai as have brother and plans as the u.s. was jaws its forces and former cia intelligence officer michael scherer told r.t. that the violence in afghanistan will only escalate. we're watching a charade 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 withdrawal withdraw in defeat really ultimately what we have the after ten years of effort in afghanistan is a body count that 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. and. we're covering this hour

serious and businesslike that talks between the u.s. and north korean diplomats have been described if as time the countries have sat down together since two thousand and nine the talks that will continue into friday are aimed at restarting the stalled six party negotiations of the north make up for ground tension of the escalating of the korean peninsula that is the sinking of a south korean navy vessel by the north a much. the ousted egyptian president is to be brought to cairo for trial which is he just started a week hosni mubarak faces charges of corruption and ordering the killings that were tested during the uprising that ousted him in february. faltering health and raised concerns that his trial could be postponed or held in the so in a result that hasan to go where he's undergoing treatment but egyptian officials can see that their ex-president is fit to attend court. a double boarding house hate and of rocky by policemen were collecting paychecks in the northern town of to

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 interest increasingly western businesses are shifting their work east to cut costs while going to go down a modern suburb of new delhi everywhere you look there are officers of american companies at the sign of the importance the united states has placed on this country during the financial crisis according to rethink our sourcing reports american companies have been free production in the country as much as seventy nine in the past three years. kara 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 removing consciously 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 what 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 dollars to go to stimulate the economy here in america i think the american companies should hire american workers on. because of the shrinking middle class and the fact that middle class wages are decreasing over the last thirty years or so many people here they don't have jag due to this and i do think that is the wrong thing to do is. the thing 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 the 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 open markets we have a good old from the last forty others almost maybe put some of those laws on the u.s. petition to be would like to double the business to five times a confidence not often found among their colleagues in the west preassure either r t new delhi india. next six case in the to iran's foreign minister about the country's nuclear program and the possible ways out.

you know why. 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. the only international body that has the authority to evaluate our activities. and nor state is allowed to accuse iran regarding its nuclear program

i'd say 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 of the i.a.e.a. did not state in any of its reports that there is any military activity going on in iran's nuclear sector as for their intentions how can the united states accuse us of pursuing norm 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 iran's policy is based on shari'a law which forbids us from producing storing or using nuclear weapons at least a foundation for our constitution our policies and our views. the west has insisted on establishing control over your own 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 we have

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 but iran is ready for negotiation and cooperation with any parties in accordance with a rules based on a new initiative to be put forward. 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 the attitude toward iran and replace this is still a 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 that the u.s. is ready to put an end to its 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 i 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 you around. i mean it that it has fired a serious concern we should carry out an accurate and reasonable analysis of what has been happening in that country iran supports any mass revolutionary action as long as the pursuit legitimate demands as was the case in tunisia egypt yemen or any other country but only on condition that such protest activity 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 that would cease immediately but i am sure that syria will make it through this difficult period and preserve its position in the region. and. 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 to support the palestinians and their policies. 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. please. liz. it's just so.
