six pm here in the russian capital this is r.t. and first to russia's foreign minister has warned that an attack on iran would be a grave mistake with unpredictable consequences sergey lavrov statement compas after israel said a possible military action against iran's nuclear facilities is becoming more likely are to follow logic of a hassle latest russia stands firmly on that this issue has to be approached with diplomacy it has to be done step by step through talking no military intervention is acceptable russia's reaction to this comes after israel has been pushing for a military intervention saying the clock is ticking and the iranian nuclear program has to be stopped right now russian foreign minister insists that it's going to have consequences for the entire region is already so unstable. our view on this issue is well known and the talk would be a serious mistake with very grave consequences we can see proof of that every day when we see how problems are being solved close to iran iraq afghanistan or other

countries in the region military interference only leads to a multiple rise in deaths. meanwhile international atomic energy agency's preparing a report which is going to prove that iran's nuclear ambitions are not peaceful overall iran has been denying this ever since the beginning and mahmoud ahmadinejad has said that if there is going to be a military intervention and iran is prepared for it professor say at mohammad marandi from the university of tehran says that israeli warnings of a possible attack on iran are nothing more than rhetoric for the sole purpose of putting pressure on the country. you ran strength is in its missile deterrents in israel is not prepared to. for any iranian counter strike the iranians would have every right to do so well i think if you look at the general picture there is a general trend to try to put iran in

a corner at the top try to corner iran and also to put pressure on other countries independent countries like china and russia and others to agree with the new sanctions by sort of portraying israel as a dog attack dog that needs to be somehow controlled and if they agree to new sanctions. something bad will be prevented from happening but the whole report itself it's based on forged documents there is absolutely nothing new in the report all the documents that are supposed to come out go back to two thousand and four and the previous years all have been refuted in the past the united states has never provided that i with the documents this shows that this is basically an attempt to create. pressure and to to move public opinion against iran. are always interested in your opinion and today we're asking how likely military action against iran actually is perceptible website r.t. dot com to take part and so far the majority of you think it's

a certainty because the u.s. if these relevant leave this war sixteen percent say there's no chance of conflict is no one has the stomach for another bloodbath of the middle east and some of you believe it's unlikely it would only happen if there is overwhelming evidence that terror ron has a nuclear weapon and the minority are confident it all depends on iran as submitting to inspections by the u.s. atomic watchdog again just go online to cast your vote. if you're watching our t.v. and still ahead for you a quality the future of looms over at libya i made claims of revenge killings and the spread of radicalism nato says its job in that country is done all the details there. now was more and more countries are turning to the international monetary fund for help it in turn is reaching out for support from some of the world's emerging financial power players i.m.f. chief christine lagarde preparing to head off to china on tuesday and is currently in moscow for talks with the kremlin got that he joins us now live with all the

latest look at that what exactly is the guard looking for a to achieve in her visit to russia as head of the i.m.f. now. during these financially turbulent times russia can all for the i am of the european union what it now needs most money russia paid the last portion of its debt to the international monetary fund in two thousand and five and seems that it has been contributing to the organization providing financial support to countries which experience serious financial and economic difficulties or even risk of default as it is now the case with greece recent developments in this european country and the euro crisis in general. took over at the g twenty summit in cannes last week where the leaders agreed to bolster the role of the i.m.f. and other financial institutions to save the euro and euro so a lot of the hopes for the euro is coming from the emerging economies from the so-called brics countries that is brazil russia india china now south africa added

to the list russia in particular is ready to contribute at least ten billion dollars all the european union but mission and that it made it very clear from the very beginning that these support should be targeted comprehensible transparent it should be done in directly through the through this international financial institution not to the sort of that country of the european union directly and another must condition is that the brics countries are given a voice within the international monetary fund and other financial institutions the brics may not be done. raptly affected by the euro crisis at the moment but we should not forget that russia for instance keeps almost forty five percent of its international reserves in euros and of course looking at the other side of the story what's in all of this for russia what can the i.m.f. offer in return for moscow's financial systems. and although the head of the i.m.f.

his here in moscow russia is most likely to put a high price tag on it all for of support for the eurozone countries in particular its chances to finally end to the world trade organization by the end of the year finally because it's been a long and lonely years of beating to add to this biggest economic club and christine legarde said today in moscow that russia actually sets a very good example as a bidding country by showing how it managed to reach agreements with old the member states of these huge organization and that others could follow in its steps well as for i.m.f. itself russia is likely to follow there are a lot before the reform of these financial institutions and in particular the brics countries they want. the man pushing quotas of the i.m.f.

are. divided differently by january twenty four team they want to the system to be decentralized they want to know time to be current see during these financially drove you in times and rushes of course in line with all the other brics countries will be further will be pushing for further with this will be i'm up was for him back in nineteen forty five and currently i.m.f. commitments amount told most three hundred billion dollars in loans with portugal greece and ireland as the major war was all right thanks very much for that update r.t.c. got that you know great show of our reporting there from moscow thank you. well it's greece that heads the queue of countries destabilizing the euro zone and there are a new coalition unity government has been formed to tackle its debt crisis now this comes after weeks of political chaos and the happens that's put its euro membership in jeopardy while the greek prime minister george papandreou has agreed to step

down and his replacement is due to be announced shortly the new interim government will leave the country until elections are expected to be held in february next year the government's the main task will be to approve a one hundred thirty billion euro emergency rescue package that was reached between european leaders and there are concerns that italy is on its way to becoming the next victim of the european debt crisis well for more on this let's talk now to professor of economics at book university carlo who's a live in milan for us. there's no end in sight it seems to the problems in greece but is italy now and next in line to be a the next victim of europe's debt crisis well i really don't know if we have thirty six. fronts and your viewers will. remember there are going to do everything so probably. italy. it can be saved but i'm. creative it.

and. over. the next year. and you know. we are all going to. therefore everybody sort of sitting on the monitor you know we are being greece. ok well still you know italy is the euro zone's third largest economy whether or not that is sustainable of course we'll wait and see but if it does hold what implications with that have for the rest of the euro zone and the world. well it will be. here. it goes it will be friends all the billions for us for our billion euros there. will french banks and then journey of the france owes germany six and the e.u. or so therefore there will be a probable german banks the new us and you are over there million around one million you were there. once and then still.

if it cannot. be full of this. the austerity package that we have seen all this is such. a sustainable. business in denmark there were government or any goldman which we've got really absolutely. credible because if we force on the other really important. international degree in can help we're going to be rolling over this long to see them who truly should work on the. well speaking about italian government i mean be internet today is abuzz with talk of prime minister silvio berlusconi possibly resigning or not will he faces a public finance vote on tuesday and only today he denied those rumors of his resignation does he have what it takes to avoid the kind of political mess that we're seeing right now in athens. do you think they're on the jury or the

government doesn't exist anymore now what we saw resign your city cyrus whether you want to go on and. defeat in parliament and there we see it all or whether he wants to surrender there or resign and they shakes their conditions of surrender i suspect that the war as though it will show that the majority is not there anymore i'll do a little bit with this is an important meeting for the virus that you're going to be part of will be with positive numbers that certify that this is that as far as the majority and that of all that you might decide to resign if he decides to go on for another week and that you will have the not only the. and the question is will we go to the elections or will we go for a national game if you don't remember this is to be seen but in any case whatever we go on their group should be clear we have all. which makes up the

rescue package and the searching reforms package the process of this pressing on with on what would be the my just got them. right now thanks very much now for your thoughts to a professor of economics at quite a university carlo altamont to talk to us live from milan thank you if you think about that. now a week after wrapping up its intervention in post coffee libya the head of nato says it has no major role in the future of the country that's despite widespread allegations of crimes against humanity under the new libyan regime and a shift towards radical islam artie's gain a check on asks whether the west has made a habit of turning a blind eye to the shortcomings of its allies. here first question later not so long ago the u.s. media presented libyan rebels as freedom loving folks yearning for democracy after could alpheus killing their narrative changed you know you talk about this arab spring and many people didn't hear as

a move towards democracy but really that is not exactly what's going on it seems the u.s. media just woke up to the young holding human rights these that story in the region libya's new rulers are at risk of being accused of the same kind of abuses before to overthrow an al qaida flag planted on a libyan courthouse steered quite some panic and not just that you have the interim leader coming out saying he hoped it would become an islamic state that polygamy was going to be illegal again consistent with sharia law sharia law to include punishments such as cutting off the hands of thieves beheading convicted murderers and rapists stoning to death adulterers shari'a long which is about to be introduced in libya is considered to be for the most part incompatible with democratic values especially when it comes to women's rights but many experts believe that whatever the new libyan government's domestic policies it will not stop the u.s. from making nice with the saudi arabia for instance has the most extreme form of

sharia law women are not allowed to drive cars are not allowed to vote the crime for adultery for women is the death penalty in saudi arabia and none of this seems to bother the powers that be in washington why because saudi arabia does the bidding of the united states in this oil rich region being a dictatorship but not a democratic state america's a big ally in a big supporter of saudi arabia that just shows that we really don't care for your democracies or we're working with dictatorships or working with secular governments or religious governments all we care about is our interest in the region very another u.s. ally in the region it hosts america's fifth fleet and also leaves on the shari'a law and has a. questionable human rights records and those in power are their only things to nato and particularly the united states the media here had generally been supportive of the campaign. but now that he's gone why the sudden concern about human rights in libya maybe. so well demonstrated in the run up to the iraq war

when the media cheered first and then when it was too late when the war was started asking questions and only say human rights was never a top priority for those in washington who called the shots and threw their support behind the current government. reporting from washington. come home but for many there's no home to come back to tens of thousands of american soldiers becoming homeless as soon as the military lets them go. r t v dot com. a russian woman accused by the u.k. of being a spy and implicating a british m.p. reportedly taken another government official under her spell all this time in germany. and this just in on our travels working for women's rights activists from ukraine take them by storm. just after the address they were
