this is good for russia we talked to business in about twenty minutes. global news twenty four stuff and this is the line from moscow with me rule research iranians hiring mexicans to assassinate the saudi ambassador in america now the details of a so-called complicated plot the u.s. government says it has uncovered officials in washington say two iranian agents try to hire members of a mexican drug cartel to carry out the attack allegations tehran dismissed as a quote comedy show. that has the latest from the u.s. capitol. the u.s. attorney general explicitly said that the u.s. will be holding the uranium government accountable for the plots to kill the ambassador 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 is how the u.s. department of justice came up with those accusations the f.b.i. and the u.s. drug enforcement agency have arrested a new raney and born u.s. citizen his name monsoor are burps yar u.s. investigators say the man tried to plot the assassination of the saudi ambassador to the united states and for that according to the americans this iranian man turned to members of a mexican drug cartel who turned out to be undercover f.b.i. operatives the attorney general said the man comes fast in the plot and said he was directed by high ranking iranian officials iran's 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 of iran want to kill the saudi ambassador in washington with the rainiest actually do it taking into consideration the 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. garnished you can't afford it right that i mean some of michael sure. 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 for 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 that 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 do it in thailand do it in cambodia do it in saudi arabia but why do it here i think what you need 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 plot to 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 with r t live from moscow and are still ahead for you

here in the program no desire to be a hero tiny. the use of big plans to increase its bailout fund unwilling to dig into its own pockets to bail out heavily indebted countries. the latest final hurdle first. pain for a long desired membership but recognizing cost of could be higher than gold grade points to jump. now or five minutes past the hour here in the russian capital pushing through energy deals and boosting cooperation with the aim of balancing all the economic 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 i'm going to cross live to watch you somewhere in a quarter of a more details on this summer in ohio as to what's been achieved during this landmark visit. her of all there to davis it was more of course had an economic flavor rather than epileptic or one this was probably mr putin's

first visit since announcing his candidacy in the upcoming presidential election since some say it's a sign of a change in focus for us and that the government is now looking east for both russia and china of course members of the breaks group along with brazil india and south africa and the growing economic uncertainty in europe and the u.s. has seriously undermined their dominance of the global political stage paving the way for a margin economy is now prime minister putin said the us is currently using instead of monopoly as the only global reserve currency and that's having a negative effect on their financial policy. because i never said the us was a pound so it's in the global economy but i do think it's feeding off the monopoly of the us dollar is a single global currency the problem is not only for the world economy but for america's economy as well because it leads to a violation of financial discipline. when it comes to the e.u. vladimir putin said that greece is

a big problem but that it could have resolved if countries that weren't afraid to take action he said of russia and china should lead the reform of international financial systems and that the brics work should play a bigger role on the world stage. i think it's time to talk about reforming existing institutions and first of all i mean global financial institutions such as the international monetary fund and world bank and he we agree that the role of the brics countries in those organizations must be enhanced given the growing importance of our countries economies. another important issue here was energy corp a lot of we have put in and his chinese counterpart said there are all issues and this agreements were resolved when it comes to russia supply of oil when it comes to gas and the goshi actions are still ongoing but both insist out there and the final stage of energy consumption is expected to increase dramatically in china and russia could cover that extra demand and in doing so

further strengthen their strategic partnership. that is more in a quarter of their i live in beijing many thanks for the up. during his chinese visit russia's prime minister vladimir putin gave an interview to the state broadcaster outlining the priority for the. push for technological breakthroughs and. some of the areas where he. accused. a hundred people.

here in moscow of ukraine's former prime minister has sparked streets of kiev in a flood of criticism from russia the u.s. . was given a seven year sentence for abusing power as well. with russia should also have to pay two hundred million dollars in damages to ukraine's state. looks at the angry response. the situation is still pretty much tense to because several hundred protesters supporters of the country's former prime minister stationed in there in their town here on the main street of kiev 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 or any other possibility like that the supporters of victory

on the povich who were also stationed here at the main street of key in front of the court building for three months they have removed their tent camps and now of course it is a lot quieter than in the past three months still the simmering tensions on tuesday . the capital of course there were thousands and thousands of people here the biggest protest we've seen so far in the last three months the international reaction has been furious. regardless of where you look with 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 expressed their concerns and indignation over the verdict russia 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 court in kiev 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 purchase court is in fact has or has in fact some and side russian pretext in it so definitely the reaction has been furious from all over the world you have now finds itself in a very very difficult situation and experts are predicting some possible steps from the president of which even possibly a presidential pardon to. ukraine's former prime minister certainly following all the developments and will bring the latest information as we get it. right there now hamas officials have agreed on a prisoner swap deal with israel that secures the release of over a thousand palestinians in exchange for one jewish soldier that of gilad schalit he's been held in captivity in gaza five years. now has this from tel aviv. at this

stage we don't have the intricate details of who's on the list of prisoners and what the deal involves but it does seem to suggest that there has been not that 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 marion 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 i must point side is coming up the winners of this deal so they have been celebrations throughout last night and they continue today particularly in the jabalya refugee camp in gaza have masses political bureau chief 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 the gazans have been bearing the brunt of the siege that was imposed on them ever since gilad shalit 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 a names released within the next thirty 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 are also there without having been tried now there are some prisoners who are currently undergoing a hunger strike they are 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 there are some one thousand and twenty seven prisoners who will be released there will be released in various stages the latest being we are hearing is that the first batch will be released possibly as soon as next week when we understand that gilad shalit

could be taken to egypt. of course broke at this and the whole exchange will happen on. our let's get a perspective here from the gaza strip we can now cross live to dr shaheen a professor at university i thank you for joining us today so the deals being claimed by hamas as a victory is gaza united and celebrating the outcome of the agreement to some it may seem a bit bizarre one israeli four thousand palestinians. actually of all the palestinian that. will will be italy's any single palestinian that there's a lot of this ten thousand palestinian prisoners in the israeli jail will be italy's it is above the city and it is something good for palestinians one thousand palestinian prisoners surely as mentioned in the deal it is something very very good to palestinians we should not. forget that there is we have to keep in a lot of mind. about seventy eight thousand palestinian prisoners are still in

there but this is in the israeli jails this one thousand on the scene of that is another. good thing that hamas has done for. you as you say that there are still seven to eight or even more thousand palestinians in israeli jails or but the fact that hamas and israeli officials have reached a deal in itself is fairly unique i mean do you think this could be the start of a change in relations leading to some kind of peace or just perhaps for the prisoner swaps i think it is. a prison in. one thousand prisoners it has no i cannot see any political side for such a deal of such as it's i'm sure in europe either you know you said it all interesting to you one thousand palestinians in one israeli that of gilad schalit it's impossible to get out charlotte is a very very valuable soldier perhaps he knows an awful lot. actually this is not

the first time i can remind you. of five two israeli soldiers with. lebanon and those with the two israeli soldiers were released and more than a thousand. palestinian prisoners it is not the first time actually it is like this with the israelis for israelis he's a soldier they. are the syrians because we have thousands the number of palestinian prisoners in the israeli jails actually the thousands so i can say that it is if it is not the one that is the end of one. thousand. prisoners just hamas has just one single israeli much as you have and as you have suggested already know that in the past there have been at least two different occasions now three including the release of a. shallot. you suggested that the capture of israeli soldiers then problems

a swap of one israeli for a thousand palestinians i mean we could actually see more israeli soldiers being captured in an attempt to have more palestinians behind bars freed. actually the. main and more reasonable. solution for the palestinian the palestinian prisoners case it is it should be by piece by negotiations. i would remind. people here. visit of the signing of almost like the month in one thousand nine hundred thirty till two thousand about six thousand palestinian prisoners as a result of the peace period that time six thousand palestinian prisoners will released. it was they did not need the children of the israeli soldier as a result as a fruit of the peace process at that time six thousand or more palestinian

prisoners were. pleas from the israeli jails looking for a. peace process productive peace process that will take the. palestinian prisoners this cause is very painful for us for the palestinians because thousands of our men and women in the israeli jails since. even since the cade's a some of them they spent more than fifty years as you say as you say talk to shaheen there are still many palestinians behind israeli policy but if i may just jump in we are running very very low on time here is really is used the capture of shallot as justification for its blockade of gaza and how can we expect perhaps conditions on the strip to improve following this. actually as it is a bit of the capture of gilad shalit actually but the people of gaza strip we here

in gaza we. actually bade a very heavy price since the capture of the gilad shalit in two thousand. and two thousand and six we paid a very very heavy price in gaza for the people of gaza the blockade that the israeli clojure the war against. israeli invasion to many areas of gaza from time to time thousands of palestinians since two thousand and six till now we have killed thousands with. their hundreds of. houses with demolition actually palestinians of gaza they bid. for chile. as we continue here i mean certainly there are some that will say this are showing in some way or another a warming of relations if not at least a leveling in contacts between israeli and hamas officials to do this kind of personal swap all the while all the while eyes are still watching the u.n.

when it comes to the whole palestinian a bid for statehood i talked to iman shaheen i'm afraid that's all we have time for a professor at university many thanks indeed. now the usa use latest plans to extend its bailout fund have been derailed by slovakia the tiny country voted against the new plan to rescue indebted european nations so that year which was the last to vote did not support the move to increase the amount of money available although the rifts did cause by the decision led to the actual collapse of the ruling coalition the reforms to the european financial stability facility have to be approved by all seventeen members of the eurozone if agreed that slovak government would have contributed about one percent of the four hundred forty billion earmarked for the fun but as financial adviser patrick young it says the market has been working really hard to balance its own budget in recent years and it is not eager to pay other countries debts. ultimately

this is a question of not just principle but actually rational economic well being of the ordinary working people of slovakia they have been 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 of the freedom party who saying enough is enough why should we have a situation where five million slovakian 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 in the euro zone they're incredibly fiscally pragmatic they run their economy in a very sensible and intelligent way and ultimately they feel very very are great with great justification about 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. meantime serbia has long been looking to follow in the footsteps of nations like slovakia by joining the e.u. and it will move a step closer when the european commission puts forward serbia as a candidate for membership later on wednesday but one big compromise still lays ahead recognizing cause of as a sovereign state. reports. starting a new life together and in doing so you're going to want to ensure you've chazen your partner wisely so when you can trust to have your best interests at heart. we love each other and we love our country too we wouldn't give up on each other and we won't give up on our land. is a ceremony in casa very little time when the church is divides once again the focus of international attention is couple social commitments. this is our territory that's not going to change. that marriage is very similar to the

partnership that serbian. that's easy membership the better so whereas for richer for poorer in sickness and in health you're going to have to stand by your choice as many countries and they're learning the hard way but many marriages the reality is often far from picture perfect times the union could be filled with uneasy compromises and the biggest hurdle in serbia's potential membership just how . the cost of a question if it came down to it and candid to say every light in the recognizing what with the response be then i think we have a long way to go and we will certainly do everything we can to avoid such you know question to be put in front of so serbia cannot give up on its constitution and on its territory and serbia in the same time is not willing to give up only to european integration so it solves really. you know unresolved so he has

already done much to its potential suitor fulfilling many of the quite serious set by the candidacy to be an option the rest of the final war crimes suspect wanted by the hague in connection with the yugoslav wars in the one nine hundred ninety eight many said believe that the country. it's now firmly on the right track he says visits from the leaders have been seen as a positive step i might finally be about to cease in the action because they could be the deal breaker there's a much more reserved a very easy to intentions so we have got many many more hoops to jump over before we can get anywhere close to membership and as is often the case sometimes these unions will not start of any particular love that necessity gives up or need to integrations serbia is. jeopardy to become isolated once again and we

know how it feels when you're isolated when you're isolated you cannot fight. politically or diplomatically for your legitimate national interest despite that is assertion that it will never recognize an independent kosovo in reality belgrade the e.u. aspirations are going to make it very difficult for the government to make any decisive action when it comes to cars of service i see great. twenty five minutes past the hour here in moscow on the way for you people of els rather testy debate show cross talk but first the business update with you. thanks for and a very warm welcome to the business update russia and china are close to a gas deal it's been on the cards for many months with both sides haggling over the price talking to the chinese media prime minister putin explained how the solution to the impasse had been found there was the russian and chinese companies will find
