3:04 pm
a lot of bin nature of the region old equations and the kind of attitude taken by the outside powers only recently iran announced that you've stepped up production of new centrifuges faster better centrifuges to make a higher quality i know you said all the world long line of rand does not want nuclear weapons and is a peaceful country but of course a lot of people in the west do feel that there's not enough transparency do you think this country you should be doing more to make it more transparent. we don't like either other countries have a nuclear weapon for the first part of your salary or include the nuclear weapons we must rise in opposition to the current. arsenals. and there are a lot of the us army corps arsenals in belgium in germany and in other european
3:05 pm
countries let me just get this straight are you saying that at some point in the future you may want to acquire a nuclear deterrent a nuclear weapon never have the nuclear weapons is the issue of the for the previous century. this century is the century of knowledge and then thinking it is the century of human beings like that it is the century of culture and logic it's not clear a weapon is not going to be deterred relating of force in the world it is about the power of people not nuclear weapons. i mean why i should say that our goal in the country and the goal of our people our slogan is peace for. nuclear energy. and nuclear weapons for.
3:06 pm
this is all. activities are monitored work by the. and all activities nuclear activities in iran are being controlled and monitored by the agency's cameras there hasn't been any documents against iran in the agency because they just claim it is a claim by the united states. and there you can watch the exclusive interview with iranian president mahmoud ahmadinejad in full on our web site that is r t dot com. thousands of gather the crosses are in a fourth week of protests against government policies leaders of the movement have been mobilizing the people against rising costs of living not just in the country's biggest cities but in rural areas as well over the last month up to three hundred thousand of government all of the mobbing cheaper housing and social justice paul asli reports it's not just the citizens of the jewish state who have fighting
3:07 pm
others face i'm not sure tougher battle. to protest might be next door to a film on lives but it's going to make a little difference to his life he's a refugee from korea one of thousands who's found his way to israel but the solace he was hoping for hasn't been replaced by anger and frustration at a government he believes is doing too little to help him. israelis here demand cheaper houses good for them at least they have houses we have nothing we haven't even got a roof over our heads let alone an expensive one but it's not only cheaper wholes is that these protesters want they're demanding a new government wonderful charge less taxes provide free education and cancel privatization of state owned companies changes that the poorest neighborhoods of tel aviv need the most but i want to please people here are not demonstrating while thousands of israelis might be able to pitch up here in protest many immigrants
3:08 pm
can't even afford to buy a tent to live in people i'm not sleeping here. every night but it's a slimeball it's that. time for the difficulty to pay for the economic that situation. like you say next to us people are sleeping there not because they choose to put their then out so it is just because they don't have any other place to go in the last few years. tens of thousands of refugees and asylum seekers have revived in israel mostly from in a tree and sudan the government simply doesn't know what to do with him most spend their days struggling to make ends meet while trying not to be picked up by the deportation police many of the refugees don't want to appear on camera but those with spoken to say that they don't feel a part of this demonstration and accuse it of being a protest of the privileged twenty parrots is really he's a builder divorced and jobless he's here because he blames the government for the
3:09 pm
fact that he can't pay his bills but he also points a finger at the african migrants or. if i want to find something ok it's a charge the africans are all too familiar with this place which fitting is a place where very often. extreme right wing organizes a rally is against it is saw when. a refugee is a seeing a white people sitting. in a day they feel that they don't belong to that place which means that a protest for social justice has essentially become a protest for only a few. if you really want to come out for better rights you have to come out for the basic right for the bright of the refugee here in israel. but for now the rights of the refugees are the last thing on these protestors minds
3:10 pm
they just want a better life for themselves policy r.t. tel aviv. recent street violence in the u.k. has police and politicians divided over the way the unrest was handled came started last saturday in london and spread across the country over the following four days so far just over a third of the sixteen hundred people arrested have been charged prime minister david cameron was critical over the initial tactics police used to quell the rampant rioting and looting but senior officers hit back think politicians were no help against the disorder and that their return from summer holidays made no difference courts are working overnight to deal with alleged offenders and hundreds of extra police are expected to remain on the streets until at least next week cameron has now turned to a former prominent us police chief for advice on handling gang violence jerry corbin from the u.k. labor party says there's a whole list of measures currently on the table which will only make a bad situation worse. the reason increasing impoverishment of poor young people
3:11 pm
particularly in the big cities of this country and it's a very uncomfortable the us know a lot of politicians are going to learn something. fast to bring these people these young people back into the mainstream society there's a very unpleasant agenda surrounding this which david cameron in part is promoting while is that could salesman through social media such as twitter and facebook the other is eviction of whole families from homes because one member of the family has been charged with being convicted of an offense to do with the events of the past week and then use a dress to bring in water cameron suggested putting the army on the street all kinds of greek only and measures and we have to listen and try and understand not the principles of those people to stealing simply for themselves but the danger to all of this of the very large number of young people who don't feel any any problem with getting involved because they don't feel they have any stake in society as
3:12 pm
a whole and that is a very dangerous thing that we've got to learn the lessons from repression won't solve it repression will make it worse censorship won't solve it will make it worse . while the blame game is in full swing between those responsible for dealing with the unrest people all around the world are wondering if the same could happen in their country and here are some of the opinions or healthiness otherwise known as the resident gathered on the streets of the. it's your neighborhood next week let's talk about that it's. inhumane and barbaric and i think that unfortunately around the country we have situations where people are disappointed with leadership and various parts of the world and they're rising up and trying to do something about it and whether you're in the middle east in europe you know fortunately we haven't had that type of unrest here in the states but i could totally see it happening i think because in taiwan most people have
3:13 pm
very. fine life they don't want to have this kind of thing happen but if they were angry enough that what was going on do you think that would push them to the limit. yes yes sometimes like in the election times you are going crazy but not to the far like the looting is so horrible and the press but there are going to stations in creation but they're peaceful day with the burn the flag or you know but they wouldn't break even though and steal from the story so why are these british people doing that right now i think it's always you know some people's tactical political reason then that they've surrounded break and still you know that's that's what happens and you know in the old days people when they came on hard times just worked hard to try to get harder and you know sort of if they're hard up a sort of cold hard look whereas now everybody expects everything on the plate you know so if you go back in history and look at the hundred for example you'll see
3:14 pm
many of the same comments in the risk a priest probably has them that are out there with the stream of history running the same course. so what can we do to change it if anything. out of them say whether or not you think looting can happen in your city and the bottom line is the rise of social media and the growing disparity between social classes could be a recipe for violence anywhere. and later in our program her naughty we found out how to become one of the richest men in the way of the story of a russian businessman enjoying the good life in europe the spice own the russian government one billion dollars. but still to come first with aftershocks of the u.s. credit rating downgrade still reverberating around the world washington has decided to go after those behind the markdown rating agency standard and poor's along with
