moscow with me kevin oh it's a pm here now on our top story for you russia's foreign minister has warned that attack on iran would be a grave mistake with unpredictable consequences so gay lover of statement comes after israel said possible military action against iran's nuclear facilities is becoming more likely it is an italian overcover report precious and firmly on that this issue has to be approached with diplomacy has to be done step by step through talking and 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 as it's not sure our view on this issue is well known an attack would be a serious mistake with very grave consequences as we can see proof of that every day when we see how problems are being solved close to iran be it 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 i reports which allegedly 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 so if there is going to be a military intervention and iran is prepared for it professor side mohammad marandi from university of turkey says that israeli warnings of a possible attack on iran and nothing more than rhetoric for the sole purpose of putting pressure on the country. well i think if you look at the general picture there is a general trend to try to put iran in a corner toward trying to corner iran and also to put pressure on other countries independent countries like china and russia and others to agree with new sanctions by sort of portraying israel as a mad 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 there for 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 the i.a.e.a. with the documents this shows that this is basically an attempt to create. pressure and to to move public opinion against iran but we're also interested in what you think about all the top stories today we're asking how likely military action against iran actually is and what are your views on this you can tell us on our website r.t. dot com to see what you've been saying here it is majority of you continue to say this that it's a certainty because the u.s. and israel need this war so more of you take the opposite view you think there's no chance of conflict as no one has the stomach for another bloodbath in the middle east right now seven percent of you think it's unlikely and would only happen if

there's overwhelming evidence that iran has nuclear weapons will find in a couple days but one side says at least one or two believe it all depends on around the submitting to inspections by the un's atomic watchdog go online tells you about change so it's good to hear from you our team. hope you stay with us live program as well coming up a cloudy future lose over libya claims of revenge killings in the spread of radicalism nato says its job with the country is now got details on that in a few minutes for you. as more and more countries are turning to the international monetary fund for help in its turn it's reaching out for support from some of the world's emerging financial power players i.m.f. chief christine lagarde indeed preparing to head off to china on chews day and she's currently in moscow for talks with the kremlin and he's a katrina groucho vors following that visit. during these financially turbulent times russia can all for the i am

a fan the european union what it now needs most money russia paid the last portion of it stuck 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 experienced serious financial and economic difficulties or even risk of default as it is now the case with grace recent developments in this european country and the euro crisis in general. to come 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 eurozone and one of the hopes for the euros coming from the magic economies from the so-called brics countries that is brazil russia india china and all south africa added to the list russia in particular is ratted 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 this international financial institution not to the sort that a country of the european union directly and another must condition is that the brics countries are given evillest within the international monetary fund and other financial institutions the brics may not be directly 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. well it's crease that heads the line of countries destabilizing the eurozone and it's a nothings that the new coalition unity government is being formed to tackle the debt crisis there of course this comes after weeks of political political chaos that's put your membership in jeopardy prime minister george peppard dreyer has agreed to step down with his replacement due to be announced later the new interim

government will lead the country until elections there are expected to be held in february next year the government's main task will be to approve a one hundred thirty billion euro emergency rescue package that was reached between european leaders and they're now concerns that italy is on its way to becoming the next victim of european debt crisis what a mess let's talk about it all with economics on this next crackers these on the line from athens good to see you nick the world in a holding its breath for one greek prime minister to go under a new one to be appointed but who ever that is can he or she actually do anything really to change the situation in greece and make it much better. much better no but at least sustainable until we can go to elections and elect a new government which is probably going to be a coalition as well let's face it over the weekend just about every. great was holding his breath hoping that this deal would be reached and it wasn't until the late hours of yesterday that we had confirmation of it without it we would have

lost funding and without it we would have faced the making of a conclusion within a few months and possibly a messy eurozone exit so is this really though the golden way for the golden path it should be taken is athens doing everything it can to navigate its way out of this mess no i don't think athens the political system is doing everything it. i think it's about time that the political system became a little bit more responsible and responsive to the needs of the country and greece itself i think a coalition should have been forms quite a while ago it seemed that a lot of the opposition parties were having their cake it made here to be in the sense that they were voting for the money but most of the austerity nic nic let me just get this straight you're on the ground here in the country that you're telling me that despite everything we have witnessed over the last few months especially when all this trouble's been piling on top of trouble people are worried about

their wages they were getting paid that being laid off you're telling me that the politicians you think still haven't really got the message they're not doing everything as much as they possibly could one hundred percent i think they just finally got the message in the last couple of weeks in the sense that they would know whether or good options for them and said i had to sit down and hammer out some sort of agreement for the country to be able to progress and at least not lose the funding at least not lose that opportunity and it's about time that it happened quite honestly the world of the world everyone's lips now of course his contagion should other e.u. members be worried about their own economies will talk about italy specifically in a moment but italy is side what about the others. well i think italy and spain apparently still the two largest threats to the eurozone and certainly here to lead is very concerning the political situation there is more unstable than it is in greece and borrowing rates the reaching very unsustainable levels i think there are

many good reasons to worry for other countries and even cool countries like france who may well lose their aaa rating at some point in the future which we talked about at length in the past you just mentioned about that the cost of borrowing an all time i just reminding our viewers it reached an all time high today for a while across those ten year bonds rocketing right up getting close actually seven percent they say when buyers want to want to buy but it's more about that in the future and surely there's no way that athens. italy can be allowed to follow what athens is doing italy's too big to fail isn't it exactly it's too big to fail and there isn't enough money to save it and the problem is that despite all of the c.b. intervention that has happened in the last week there is eels just keep climbing so it's not going to be a simple matter at all another question will be the same for a long time but you know as the time ticks saw it gets more and more pertinent can

the single currency survive this crisis or is it time to face the unpalatable truth a lot of people are asking this question abolish the project some say was flawed from the start. it's not quite as simple as abolishing it overnight you care about really do that you know the simple situation what they do have to do of course other than just bailing out some countries and putting up some defenses in the short term is have a really good look at the trees and the infrastructure of the whole project and see if there is some reform that can make it more workable of course when you have seventeen different very different economies in very different countries setting one uniform monetary policy is always going to be haphazard and when the e.c.b. is tumbling into countries then things can be very problematic. so it's good to get your a cool head and a view on these things economics analyst as you go live from athens thanks very much. week after wrapping up its intervention in post libya the head of nato

says it has no major role in the future of the country anymore that's despite widespread allegations of crimes against humanity under the new libyan regime and a shift towards radical islam has got a teacher can ask 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 us media presented libyan rebels as freedom loving folks yearning for democracy after could alpheus killing the narrative changed you know you talk about this arab spring and may people you don't hear as a move towards democracy but really that is not exactly what's going on it seems the us media just woke up to the young folding human rights disaster 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 lady and 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 color. not the hands of thieves beheading convicted murderers and rapists stoning to death adulterers sure real 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 yet america is a big ally in

a big supporter of saudi arabia that just shows that we really don't care for you we're 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 baccarin another u.s. ally in the region it hosts america's fifth fleet and also leads on the shari'a law and has a questionable human rights record as fully b.m. those in power are their only things to nato and particularly the united states the media here had generally been supportive of the campaign to topple gadhafi but now that he's gone why the sudden concern about human rights in the p.l.o. maybe out of old habit 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 full on started asking questions and only say human rights in libya was never a top priority for those in washington who called the shots and threw their support behind the currently be in government i'm going to check out reporting from washington r.t.

the parade is being reenacted as it took place in nineteen forty one this is to mark the seventieth anniversary of the march across red square and then to the front to defend moscow against the nazi onslaught the date of the seventh of november before they separate taking place was of historic importance in nineteen forty one it marked the anniversary of the bolshevik revolution the october revolution well it is november it was called the october revolution because it took place in october of the julian calendar we know followed the could go in calendar which puts that date was the seventh some hope of november that was also an important date not just for the soviet union it was also picked by nazi germany as the day that hitler wanted to be in moscow he wanted to have more skin taken by this point to march in red square himself in similar ways that he had done in paris and other cities in europe that the soviet authorities determined to stop that happening and that's why when they could hold this parade on red square and then

send people off as a final morale boost before going off to the front to fight against the clashes they were able to do just that no easy day the parade to seeing soldiers wearing same style uniforms to war by those who fought in the second world war also some pieces of military hardware recreate should be the military hardware from the time also taking part in the battle of moscow itself was very bloody very brutal over a million people killed and injured in the fighting to defend the capital many of those people who marched across red square just behind me in nineteen forty one who died as they fell at the for. and defending the capital from germany. peter all of a red square modernized sports ahead of fifty minutes with union tonight is good news of russia's longest ever football season but it's a big business day to let's get across next in the thorny subject of all the certainty around european debt very much of course in the headlines three truth here. that's

right care of european indeed it remains one of the dominating issues of the markets this week france and italy are in the spotlight as they deal with their budget deficits and that's after greece's embattled prime minister george papandreou announced he's stepping down after aborting a plan for referendum on the e.u. bailout investors are now waiting to see who is brave enough to step into a pub and there was shoes decision as expected later on monday the coalition government's main task will be to pass the european rescue package the move considered crucial to shoring up the euro. there's a mixed feeling really around global markets in the u.s. there was a positive opening now they are down investors are trading cautiously watching the developments in europe notably notably in italy which is due to have a meeting on its budget deficit on tuesday the dow jones is down by a quarter of

a percent nasdaq almost zero percent european stocks at the close are also showing some negative dynamics the footsie down by a third of a percent of that by point seven percent that's despite the fact the e.c.b. said it intervened to buy nine a half billion euros worth of bonds to keep a little boring costs but in russia it's all positive russian markets were playing catch up on monday after friday's holiday as the time change saw the u.s. markets open just fifteen minutes before the end of the trading session in moscow and since as i mentioned it was a positive opening it was last minute buying in russia which proves that the r.t.s. up one percent my six one point three with oil reversing back into positive territory with still stand support or will see in energy stocks notably in a row snapped it was up almost four percent at the close financials were also strong with burbank gaining more than two percent on average because of b. to be capital wraps up the day st. birgitta day was a reflection of. of the g twenty meeting which failed to live up to expectations

the hype of the last two and a half two months and the reality that history we all saw in most of the markets beforehand russian market is over to come or because of history through all price. markets slightly down and quite obvious because the italian yield is catching your eye so it's going to be difficult for vetoing a government to refinance to remind you italy is a much bigger problem which the new fund which was created to sell the just more european countries and their problems is not really equipped to deal with fortunately the g twenty never answered who is going to give the money we looks like nobody's prepared poland as decided to force russia to cut gas supply prices through court the polish energy monopoly as of filed a claim with the stockholm arbitration tribunal against russia's gazprom russia currently supplies around seventy percent of problems gas meads and also in the country agreed to increase annual purchases but one hundred ten percent discount for extra deliveries for its part gazprom is resisting all claims from european

customers who want to renegotiate existing more term contracts to get cheaper gas. and it's taken almost two decades of talks but now russia has its foot in the door of the world trade organization the country is in the final round of informal negotiations smoothing out the remaining issues a decision on russia's membership is expected by the end of the week peter westernize investment bank says w.t.r. exception would make russian companies more competitive. i think the major point to be to be made when it comes to the sort of increased competition from our players is that i have a feeling there's a lot of improvement cost cutting efficiencies to be done in russian companies to actually cope with this so if you want to be really hard on this i mean i do think that these employers doesn't actually provide a threat they provide an opportunity for companies to make themselves more efficient more transparent and to more effectively on the cost side there's

a huge level of restructuring efforts that can be done in russian companies that could offset some of these sort of threats from foreign players and the major thing here is for the consumer increase competition is lower prices and i would argue that's the most important thing with it a bit. not that i haven't yet kevin with the headlines.
