international using comment live from moscow this is good to have you with us in the south washington says the forty eight plot to kill the saudi ambassador to the u.s. will further isolated wrong with the allegations expected to increase sanctions on tehran to iranians were charged with trying to harm members of a mexican drug cartel to carry out the attack something tyrone dismissed as a comedy show he's going to reports now from washington. the u.s. aims to unite the world against iran that's what we hear from the officials here they are talking about the need to completely isolate iran in the international community vice president joe biden for example said the u.s. action against iran could go beyond sanctions but added that we are not going there yet that's a quote we're getting reports that the u.s. might raise the issue at the u.n. security council and generally

a lot of tough words in washington these days the u.s. administration strongly believes in the case against this iranian born man also a u.s. citizen months for our bob seger who is accused of trying to plot the assassination of the saudi ambassador in washington the u.s. attorney general said the men admitted being directed by quote high ranking you raney and officials and on these grounds washington says it will hold the reigning government accountable for the plot to kill the embassador also the u.s. is accusing iran of conspiring to stage two bombings at these really embassy and the saudi embassy in washington denies all of the about all of the involved saying it's a childish game that the usa is playing possibly to divert attention from their domestic problems this is what they're saying meaning the ongoing protests across the u.s. but the saudis on the other hand have taken the allegations seriously and have think it was the saudis for for preventing the alleged assassination attempt very rarely anyone here is touching upon the possible motive iran might have had for

trying to kill the saudi officials most seem to take the accusations brought up at the you by the u.s. justice department at face value and the main question you hear in the mainstream media is will the u.s. retaliate or not there's quite a few people in washington who ruled for retaliation in the meantime officials say all options are on the table not clear how far this will go but on the news i constantly hear phrases like we need to step up activities to undermine the government of iran we need to step up cooperation with this with saudi arabia and israel and that's what the u.s. will most likely be doing. for more on this we're now joined by sort of a column he's a professor of political science at the university of tehran thanks very much indeed for joining us live. i understand we can talk to you now yes if washington's allegations are true why would iran want to assassinate the saudi ambassador on american soil well the who in the story

appears. very bizarre because if anyone in iran was intending to blow our. ambassador or or as and is right. there are dozens of countries. in the world that are much easier target to infiltrate and to go there and to carry on the nation and not do it in washington or in united states well whether the allegations are true or not the question is why is the u.s. appearing to put pressure on iran and encouraging further isolation from the world community it's not just because of the perceived nuclear threat as it. well partly it is the nuclear threat another reason is there iranian strong support for

the syrian for the syrian regime another reason is iran is strong and he is right. another reason is they iranian support for his one last look around and our full there are us accusation that islamic regime is such a poor thing in afghanistan so there are there are it's not only the nuclear issue there are at least half a dozen other issues that united states is quite unhappy islamic regimes conduct u.s. officials have said that military action is not being considered it's unlikely because of the american people will have the appetite for yet another campaign but you mention all those issues that the u.s. is clearly very bullish about iran just how close do you think it is iran to becoming another u.s. military target. well led to talk of

military action militarists right against iran being on the table as an option has always been there and the iranians ronnie and lee there are used to the idea that. if u.s. military threat is always there what i'm really trying to say is that the threat of military strike being being considered a military target. by united states has not own any policies and he says in iran. we know that the u.s. is considering action against iran we're not too sure what action will be but certainly sanctions have been mentioned what about the response from tehran though it's dismissed this as chemical good cook we perhaps see a more assertive response from tehran over this issue. yes. foreign ministry in there on. true or is it wrong actually called

for this. ambassador. ambassador to the. embassy is taking care of u.s. interests here on. iranian leaders appear to be to be in fact quite angry of these allegations because they think the gators are are do the caress we'll leave it there thank you very much for your thoughts on this subject is a columbia professor of political science at the university of tehran thank you for your time you're welcome you're welcome. and we ask you on a website called what you think about the fourteenth iranian plot uncovered by the u.s. so far more than part of you believe it was nothing more than american ploy to smear its enemy little less than a quarter think the story is just the tip of the iceberg with more revelations to

come and eleven percent say it was orchestrated by to iran while the rest believe it's just a way for washington officials to boost their careers express your point of view dot com. bonding exercise prime minister putin strengthen russia's partnership with china during his high profile visit there two of the world's fastest growing economies came together to share common interests and commercial goals aimed at balancing the dominance of the western deals with seven billion u.s. dollars and the g. trade and high tech industries have already been signed and more is yet to come. for us. there to davis it was more of course had an economic flavor rather than apple that's a whole one this was probably just a person's first visit since announcing his candidacy in the upcoming presidential elections and some say it's a sign of a change in focus for us and that the government is now looking east for opportunities 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. have seriously undermined their dominance of the global political stage paving the way for a margin economy still promise or put in said the u.s. is currently using instead of monopoly as the only global reserve currency and that's how then and that's a fact on their financial policy level because they've been you know never said the u.s. was a parasite on the global economy but they do think it's feeding off the monopoly of the u.s. dollar is a single global currency but the problem is these are not only for the world economy but in youth america's economy as well because at least people are leaving with more than one ounce of discipline but you have not as you describe it when it comes to the e.u. vladimir putin said agrees is a big problem but that it could be resolved if countries that weren't afraid to take action he said of russia and china should have a form of international financial systems and that the brits will should play a bigger role on the world stage and. i think it's time to talk about reforming existing institutions and first thing they need global financial institutions such

as the international monetary fund in the world bank and here we agree with the role of the brics countries in those organizations must be enhanced given the growing importance of our country's economies another important issue here was energy corp a lot of we have put an end his chinese counterpart so that all issues and this agreements were resolved when it comes to russia supply of oil when it comes to gas negotiations are still ongoing but both insist are there and the final stage of energy consumption is expected to increase dramatically in china and russia could cover that actual demand and in doing so further strengthen their strategic partnership. and genuine jean the professor of international politics at the university of bristol in the u.k. says that moscow and beijing proved they are strong economies having survived the financial troubles of the west both china and russia are also great powers and we are security council opponents security council members have

responsibilities in much of the broader international arena they also have some common strategic interests in this variant of the world of thought i think it's natural talking about global financial crisis and the euro eurozone financial crisis here again i think both china and russia also have a great stage the. economic recovery the global economy and also certainly stakes in the overcoming the crisis in europe is are and therefore i think the crisis itself is not the reason for china and russia to come together fortunately both seem to have managed to escape the then huge severe damage of the global financial crisis and certainly at a moment of the eurozone debt crisis this is not the life here in moscow still ahead this hour. the police crackdown on the occupy wall street protesters in

boston with reports of war veterans being beat up. plus massive disapproval the whole world comes together in criticism every ukrainian courts a guilty verdict for the former pm one of the most recognizable women in politics. a story sort of come first israel has agreed to exchange over a thousand palestinian prisoners for one israeli soldier who was captured and held in gaza for over five years it was a mass as long been in the making however some high profile detainees will remain in israeli jails but his policy reports from tel aviv where the return of gilad shalit is being eagerly awaited. there are some one thousand and twenty seven prisoners who will be released there will be released in various stages the latest we've been hearing is that the first death will be released possibly as soon as next week when we understand that you actually could be taken to egypt egypt of course brokered this deal and the whole exchange will happen in egypt naturally it

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 so 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 me and certainly israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu has a lot to gain from such a deal he's facing immense political pressure both internally and internationally and that's what side is coming up the winners of this deal certainly they have been celebrations throughout last night and they continue today particularly in the john bradley refugee camp in gaza so that is why you are hearing some boys and as well some voices of concern that the capture of one soldier is going to be something that is encouraged on the palestinian side because the price for one soldier is particularly high 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 other prisoners are also there without having been tried and 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 among the prisoners who are to be released a fair number will return to the gaza strip 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 well earlier or you spoke to dr ayman shaheen who's a university professor in gaza and he believes the palestinian people have already paid a heavy price for the capture of cannot meet. one thousand palestinian the president actually mentioned in the deal it is something very very good for the palestinians actually this is not the first time i can remind you and nineteen eighty five two

israeli soldiers were captured in lebanon and those with the two israeli soldiers were released. more than a thousand. palestinian prisoners actually as a result of the culture of gilad shalit actually but the people of gaza strip we here in gaza we. actually paid a very heavy price since the capture of the. two thousand. and two thousand and six we paid a very very heavy price in gaza for the people of gaza and the blockade that the israeli closure of the war against gaza. israeli invasion to many areas of gaza from time to time thousands of palestinians since two thousand and six till now where. thousands with. their hundreds of. houses where demolition actually palestinians of gaza they bid. a heavy price for

any. weeks after the anti wall street movement started in the us protests are still going strong and spreading fast response norm for some officers is also grabbed headlines with over one hundred demonstrators arrested for participating in the occupied boston splintered and i just want to cry towns social media consultant ron called says the movement will continue and could have far reaching consequences. what's happening here could be as big a deal as the space program when we first started the space program we were talking about launching a satellite into space or rocket up there we didn't know that explosion of technologies that everybody would use every day that would change our lives we didn't know that the satellites that would be to set up would be used for cellphones eventually the canadian even exists what's happening here is is a phenomenon this huge and see explosion and well you're right there are people

like orrin hatch who are saying this is dangerous he's a great witness and had a clue how dangerous it is people are waking up there are so many things that when there's a lot of anger about this people are furious that they're getting ripped off that the system is broken that it no longer represents the people that that the congress represents corporations now this is a very common thing that whether they're democrats or republicans it doesn't matter who you vote for because they're going to take care of the corporations first not the people. social media consultant rob corn on the phenomenon that's gripping the whole of the u.s. . and international course of disapproval has hit ukraine over the verdict handed down through former prime minister yulia tymoshenko she's been sentenced to seven years behind bars and find almost two hundred million dollars for abuse of power when signing gas deals with russia in two thousand and nine the verdict the lawyers will appeal spark mass protests among the army supporters and alexian assess he has

more from kiev. the situation is still pretty much tense because several hundred protesters supporters of the country's former prime minister still stationed in their in their towns count here on the main street of the simmering tensions on tuesday. the 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 of the verdict sentencing the country's former prime minister to seven years in prison and confiscating all of her property 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. 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 pitch and score is in fact has a has in fact some and so i russian pretext in a key of now finds itself in a very very difficult situation when just found out according to the european union that any possibility remains on the association of the european union and ukraine would now be canceled and some even say that the invitation for mr young polish president of ukraine to attend a meeting in brussels in the nearest future could be even counseled we are certainly following all the developments i will bring the latest information as we get it. by the way if you've missed anything we've been covering here on screen and you can head to our t.v. don't come plus there's more news uncomment here's

a taste of what's on nine right now should you not only. until the case of a russian businessman accused of arms dealing is casting a shadow over the u.s. justice system. and also online a russian tried to drive a rescue dozens of people from a burning building to prove it's visible next to the windows so people can jump to their safety from more head to r.t. dot com. slovakia says the deal to approve expanding the e.u. bailout fund has been reached yet the country's parliament voted against it which caused the collapse of the country's ruling coalition so the macchia was the only member to say no to increasing the facility which already got a green light from sixteen of the seventeen euro zone members but if your m.p. nigel ferrars believes the change of heart was forced on to the country. sixteen parliaments start with career politicians have voted for it not sixteen countries. if you put this bailout package to a referendum across europe the vast majority of countries would say no the baqir

said no last night but of course no isn't good enough no is not acceptable in the modern european union if you say no as the irish did a couple of years ago it was a slow backs did last night your made to vote again until you get the right answer which gives you a true measure of what this project's really like if. the trillion to bail it out what is the point actually of bailing these countries or one of the bailouts all these bailouts helping the people in greece and portugal not what they're actually doing is they getting money to these countries to give back to our banks the money in the first place i mean the whole thing is mad what these countries need who are trapped inside this economic prison. is they need to do the value without devaluation having austerity packages pushed on them which is forcing them into a downward deflationary spiral which in my opinion in greece and possibly in portugal could lead to revolution what we're doing is stupid and very very

dangerous indeed i've just been in this parliamentary chamber with mr barroso these people are absolutely intense creating a united states of europe they don't care how many millions of people are chucked out of the unemployment strappy they don't care about the tide of human misery that may cause they have got their political goals but the reality is that not only economically is this failing but politically it's failing there is now a split in europe from north to south and in the north we are witnessing a democratic revolution against the whole concept of the euro and the idea that people like mr brown my old friend herman van should govern five hundred million people it is not acceptable. before the latest visit with kareena let's check out some world news in brief on the world stage a nigerian man accused of trying to bomb a u.s. bound flight on christmas day in two thousand and nine has pleaded guilty when we tell our one of nearly three hundred people on the flight to detroit passengers

became aware of the suspect part of the bomb so in the underwear failed to detonate fully instead catching fire his lawyers said the twenty four year old would admit to terrorism and other charges and found guilty he could get life in prison it's. at least twenty three people have been killed and another sixty injured in by. iraqi security forces with a full soldier at least three separate explosions with suicide bombers targeting local police stations it's next comes just days after iraq calls for more than five thousand u.s. military instructors to stay on the formal withdrawal date of december thirty. three miles general amnesty for more than six thousand prisoners have begun with doesn't this including political detainees already released and the international reports that among those due to be for you know some two thousand two hundred political prisoners who've been held in poor conditions and subjected to torture the release was a key condition of the united states to remove western sanctions imposed on the country's former military. well known a few minutes we'll be getting
