the rest are just your brains for allegedly plotting to kill the saudi arabian ambassador to washington as part of a major terror attack iran says it's a joke. building a competitive union moscow and beijing work forces to modernize their economies as rochelle puts things in focus. from us and israel's frog a long awaited prisoner swap deal that will be jewish soldier you actually freed in exchange for over a thousand palestinians. a seven year sentence for ukraine's former prime minister a for alleged abuse of power a link to gas contracts with russia sparks public outrage and harsh criticism from moscow the u.s. and the e.u.

. one pm in the russian capital you were with r t on marina joshie iranians hiring mexicans to assassinate the saudi ambassador in america the details of a complicated plot the u.s. government says it has uncovered officials in washington say to rein in agents tried to hire members of a mexican drug cartel to care ya be attacked allegations to ron dismissed as a comedy show or he's got it should count has the latest from the u.s. capitol. the u.s. attorney general explicitly said that the u.s. will be holding the uranian government accountable for the plots to kill the embassador of saudi arabia to the united states also the u.s. is accusing iran of conspiring to stage two bombings at these really embassy in washington and at the embassy of saudi arabia also in washington and here's how the

u.s. department of justice came up with those accusations the f.b.i. and was drug enforcement agency have arrested a new raney and born u.s. citizen whose name month or are you are u.s. investigators say the man tries to plot the assassination of the saudi ambassador to the united states and for that according to the americans this iranian man turns to members of a mexican drug cartel who turns out to be undercover f.b.i. operatives or any general says and then comes back in the plot and said he was directed by high ranking iranian officials firmly denies the allegations saying it is a comedy show fabricated by america fear mongering against iran has been going on for many years now what they are not bringing up is possible motives behind accusations like that whether those accusations make any sense at all why would the government if you ran want to kill the saudi ambassador in washington would be rainy and

actually taking into consideration that potential fallout i heard experts on american mainstream channels beating the drums of war saying things like we need to step up activities to undermine the government of iran of course we need to step up cooperation with saudi arabia and israel as for iran's some experts believe that undermining the government if you grant has been a long time coveted goal of the united states it's not clear how this incident will play out but it definitely makes the drums of war beat louder here in washington anish town reporting there michael sure a former cia intelligence officer says there are a lot of holes in the allegations against this apparent iranian backed plot. one of the biggest problems in the united states for before telling what the terrorist threat is in our country is that the f.b.i. runs the sting operations and then claims great credit for breaking up a plot that wouldn't have existed except if they lured somebody into doing it my

initial reaction is if the iranians wanted to kill a saudi ambassador why do it in the united states when it would cause a war between the united states and iran in thailand do it in cambodia do it in saudi arabia but why do it here i think what you need you to keep in mind is that the saudis want the iranians destroyed the israelis want the iranians destroyed the congress in the united states is owned by israel and so the congress wants iran destroyed and this is an opportunity for them to push for war and so i think we have to be very careful until we find out exactly who is behind this and the iranians are as much a threat to the united states as my shoes are to the united states but what we don't need is any kind of a conflict with the iranians because what that will do is bring the whole islamic world down on top of us. you're watching i think i'm going to live from moscow so i have for you this hour and no desire to be a hero slovakian the saudi use big plans to increase its bailout fund i was willing

to dig into its own pocket to bail out have all the indebted countries. and its final hurdle for serving out its campaign for a long desired membership but recognize the cost of that could be higher than belgrade wants to jump. pushing through an edgy deals and boosting cooperation with the aim of balancing our beacon amik and political dominance of the west russia's prime minister is on a visit to china where an important agreement on the price of oil is already in place prices may have cost over has more. that's. prime minister fruits and had more of an economic flavor rather than a political one he met with the local governments of specials including the trying to surprise them and the prime minister and they all talked about the importance of increasing bilateral trade as was developing other carriers of interests like aviation and technology now it's important to mention that this was prime minister putin's first visit since announcing his candidacy in be upcoming presidential

elections and some say it's a signal of a change in focus for russia for many years the west of course dominated the country's political agenda and now it seems with china's economic progress moscow may be looking east both countries have supported each other throughout the years on various issues and also have similar political views and we saw that just recently when both countries vetoed the european draft of un security council resolution condemning syria and of course both countries are also members of the bridge group along with brazil india and south africa and the economic uncertainty in europe and the u.s. has seriously undermined the dominance of the global political agenda of europe and the us paving the way for a merchant economies like russia and china not actually prime minister putin said that the role of the groups were to become more importance on the international scene. i think it's time to. existing institutions i mean global financial

institutions such as the international monetary fund the world bank and you we agree that the countries in these organizations must be lanced given the growing importance of the country's economy he wasn't here alone he was here with a huge delegation including russian a businessman you're all here looking to make business deals with local companies and they did that so all that they got here was seven a billion dollars worth of agreements including wants to set up investment fund but also trade as i mentioned earlier was a. you promise or vladimir putin said that that they expect the trade turnover to reach at least seventy two billion dollars this year with the overall goal being to one hundred billion dollars by twenty twenty china is already russia's a number one trade partners and they're now working towards is watching years and making their relationship even stronger and developing there its highs. are in

acosta reporting there during his chinese visit russia's prime minister while you were good and gave an interview to the state broadcaster outlining the priority for the two nations who wouldn't sound bad for forcing the logical breakthroughs in an aviation aircraft building are some of the areas were he wants to see the partners working together and he can redeploy injury on our feet dot com. also online previews the american and when we use our views of mortality the occupy boston protest yet now war veterans were injured by officers and up to a hundred people arrested. a massive facials have agreed a prisoner swap deal with his role that secures the release of over a thousand palestinians in exchange for jew or soldier gilad shalit is been held in

captivity in gaza for five years let's now cross a live no response mostly here who is in tel aviv for more. paula a thousand an exchange for one so i want to face of it the deal seems one sided and why was it agreed then. well this is a deal that has been on the go for five years ever since the israeli soldier gilad shalit was taken captive back in june two thousand and six now at this stage we don't have the intricate details of who's on the list of prisoners and what the deal involves but certainly it does seem to suggest that there has been not much movement on both sides in terms of the deal over the last few years which is why many are saying it's the israelis who have given in and certainly the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu has a lot to gain from such a deal he's facing immense political pressure both internally and internationally for its side is coming up the winners of this deal so if you have been celebrations throughout last night and they continue today particularly in the could buy you

a refugee camp in gaza a massive political you achieve khaled mashal has called this a national victory for the palestinians he has encouraged the the welcoming back of palestinian prisoners expressing regret that not all palestinian prisoners are being freed so that is why you are hearing some voices in israel some voices of concern that the capture of one soldier is going to be something that is encouraged on the palestinian side because as you say the price for one soldier is particularly high. value largely has often been used by israel as justification of its blockade of gaza strip so could we see a lifting of the following his release now. well it's difficult to say exactly what will happen in terms of the seeds that is all imposes on gaza but certainly the gazans have been bearing the brunt of the seeds that was imposed on them ever since the united states was taken hostage some five years ago there have been heavy

restrictions on goods both coming in and out of gaza among the prisoners who are to be released a fair number will return to the gaza strip and i think it's worth mentioning that we don't yet know who these prisoners are we will have the mains released within the next forty eight hours but it's worth remembering that at this moment there are more than eight thousand prisoners who are currently being held in israeli jails among them are many women and children some three hundred children many of the prisoners will also be without having been tried now there are some prisoners who are currently undergoing a hunger strike they protesting against the general conditions in the prisons we've been hearing from human activists who say that particularly the political prisoners they have basic rights like bathing that are being denied to them other rights such as access to clean clothes that are denied as well as family visits there are some one thousand and twenty seven prisoners who will be released there will be released in various stages the latest we know that we're hearing is that the first batch

will be released possibly as soon as next week when we understand they could be taken to egypt egypt of course broke with israel and the whole exchange will happen on egypt so we are. ok also your thanks very much indeed for bringing us the subway from tel aviv. to other stories now the jailing of ukraine's former prime minister has sparked outrage on the streets of kiev and a lot of criticism from russia the u.s. and the e.u. there were two mashallah he was given a seven year sentence for abusing her powers while signing gas contracts with russian she'll also have to pay two hundred million dollars in damages to ukraine state gas company. looks at the angry response. this issue ation is still pretty much tense because several hundred protesters supporters ovulate some of the country's former prime minister lost still stations in their in their town here on this city's main street on the main street of key of and i reckon they're

planning to stay here for at least another week despite that their leader has been jailed for seven years and there have been no indications so far that she would appeal against the verdict and that she could be released any time soon with a presidential pardon on any other a possibility like that the supporters of the pope who are also stationed here at the main street of key in front of the court building for three months they have removed their ten counts and now of course it is a lot quieter than three months still of the simmering tensions on tuesday. the cranium capital of course there were thousands and thousands of people here the biggest protests we've seen so far in the last three months the international reaction has been furious. regardless of where you look which part of the world everyone have been very disappointed with the verdict the united states washington said that had to be released the european union different parts of it also

expressed their concerns and indignation over the verdict rochelle also reacted furiously to this decision saying that those gas deals which were signed back in two thousand and nine were completely legitimate they stress that once again and saying that the decision by the. in fact neglected russia's concerns over the legitimacy of these all these gas deals in two thousand and nine and also the russian foreign ministry stated that the decision by the co-chairs court is in fact has a has in fact some and side russian pretext in it so definitely the reaction has been furious from all over the world. we have now finds itself in a very very difficult situation and experts are predicting some possible steps from the president acknowledged even possibly a presidential pardon to. ukraine's former prime minister we have certainly following all the developments and will bring the latest information as we get it

right here shafiq your point there from p.f. and james carafano russia and eurasia program account of house has that to call the gas agreement between moscow and kiev illegal is just absurd there is a down to russian sub checks to be cause they are trade that are the maximum justification for false second alteration of the. know just save the agreements had julia table sample entered into in two thousand and nine or two one contract and then secondly a supplementary agreement saying they were illegal is utterly bizarre the first president chen of clothes which concerned the legacy of these things when he couldn't who did the kharkiv accords with president mitt v.a.v.'s in april two thousand and ten he therm the validity of the accords that your earlier two machines will include with prime minister push it so that this is one of many

absurdities in this whole drama unfolding. three years latest plans to extend of bailout fund have been derailed by slovakia the tiny country voted against a new plan to rescue indebted european nations for voc which was the last to vote didn't support a move to increase the amount of money available although the rifts caused by the decision led to the ruling coalition collapsing three fourths of the european financial stability facility have to be approved by all thirteen members of the eurozone if agreed thought our governments would have to contribute about one per cent of their four hundred forty billion earmarked for the fun but as financial advisor patrick down south of our care has been working really hard to balance itself and budget in recent years has not either to pay other countries debts ultimately this is a question of not just principle but actually rational economic wellbeing hope the

ordinary working people of slovakia they've injured incredible cuts during the course of the last few years in order to keep the slovakian economy going and ultimately therefore we have this political leader richard selig of the freedom party who say enough is enough why should we have a situation where five million slip back in people are expected to pay seven billion euros in order to pay for greek people to have pensions three times larger than the old age pensions in slovakia and ultimately that doesn't make sense i mean slovakians are the lowest wage earners of the euro zone they're incredibly fiscally pragmatic they've run their economy in a very sensible and intelligent way and ultimately they feel very very are green with richest occasion avoid paying for greece that is ultimately an economy where the government lied about their figures in order to get into the euro in the first place. so he has long been looking to follow in the footsteps of nations life of
