has been pushing for a military intervention saying the clock is ticking and 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 because it's natural 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 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 i reports which are legit 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 sat that's if there's going to be a military intervention and iran is prepared for it professor said one hundred running from university of toronto says this 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 and probably quantity 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 patrolling israel as a dog attack dog that needs to be somehow controlled and if they agree to new sanctions. something 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 i.e. with the documents this shows that this is basically an attempt to create. pressure and to to move public opinion against iran it's

a big story we always like to know what you think about the big stories of the day today we're asking you how likely do you think military action against iran is now add to our website our seed or climbing take part in that this is what you're telling us the majority of you continue to say this afternoon that it's a certainty because the u.s. and israel need this war for fear of you take the opposite view that there's no chance of conflict is no one's got the stomach for another bloodbath the middle east right now there's also a tie between the final two options you can see there nine percent each saying war is unlikely would only happen if there's overwhelming evidence that iran has nuclear weapons or numbers of say believing it all depends on the ground submitting to inspections probably when the time it was so pretty tough to have your say on our web site r.t. dot com. and coming up in the program a cloudy future lose over libya and the claims of revenge killings in the spread of radicalism and nato says its job in the country. details about that in a few minutes. first those 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 left chief christine the guards preparing to head off to china on tuesday and she's currently here in moscow for talks with the kremlin and he's a country groucho has been following our 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 get pulled 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 i'll be i.m.f. and other financial institutions to save the euro and eurozone and not the hopes

for the euros coming from the module you quantum is from the so-called brics countries that is presumed russia india china and also africa added to the list russia in particular is ready to contribute at least ten billion dollars all the european union but mishra to 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 a choice 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 up almost forty five percent of its international reserves in europe's contradict each over the edge of times

correspondent things contributions from. zero zone unless it's changed from within . period it can't be zero dollars that russia is offering to the fire war that europeans need in case italy goes beneath a fire war one trillion dollars you're not going to get this from the brick facade of the question not even china would even imagine giving more then let's say fifty billion dollars it's not enough the problem is the euro there's a war for the urals or it worse for north in europe with not for the club med countries in they have to find a solution inside europe and the point of view of europe would be to have in europe there would be equal for everybody from the netherlands to sicily but it's not going to happen because trying to start they had this political idea that if we had a common currency we're going to have

a political unity it's wrong it's not going to work because there's total economic imbalance between north and southern europe and when the krauts it's a political nationalism. well it's greece that heads a lot of countries of course destabilizing the eurozone right now it's in athens the new coalition unity government's been formed to tackle the debt crisis there it comes after weeks of political chaos that's put greek membership in jeopardy of the year and prime minister george and radio as if we've stepped down of course with his replacement you'd be announced later to say the new interim government will lead the country in till elections expected to be held in february next year now the government's main task will be approved one hundred thirty billion euro emergency rescue package that was reached between european leaders and they're now concerned that italy's on its way to becoming the next victim of the european debt crisis to economics and its next practice told me that the greek politicians could of course athens it's much needed. 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 formed quite a while ago it seemed that a lot of the opposition parties were having their cake and eating it too in the sense that they were voting for the money but never for the austerity i think italy and spain apparently still see largest threats to the eurozone and certainly heelys very concerning the political situation there is more unstable than it is in greece and their borrowing rates they're reaching very unsustainable levels and i think there are many good reasons to worry for other countries and even call countries like france who may well lose their aaa rating and some point in the future what they do has to do of course other than just bailing out some countries and putting up some defenses in the short term we have a really good look at the trees in the infrastructure of the whole project and see if there is some reform they 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. itself can't lend to countries then can be very problematic week after wrapping up an intervention and posted half of libya that of nato says it's got no major role in the future of the country anymore that's despite widespread allegations of crimes against humanity and a new libyan regime and a shift towards radical islam because you can ask whether the west has made a habit of turning a blind eye to the shortcomings of its allies. shere first question leader not so long ago the us media presented leading rebels as freedom loving folks yearning for democracy after could out is killing the narrative changed you know you talk about this arab spring and make people here 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 building human rights disaster in the region libya's new rulers are at risk of being accused of a seam kind of abuse is really for to overthrow an al qaida flag planted on a levy and courthouse steered quite some panic and not just that you had 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 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 their 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 that bothered the powers that be in washington why because so many arabia does the bidding of the united states in this oil rich region sort of being a dictatorship and not a democratic state america's egalitarian exporter of saudi arabia just shows that we really don't care for working with democracies or working with their creator ships or working with secular governments or religious governments where we care about is our interest in the region bahrain another u.s. ally in the region it hosts america's fleet and also leaves on the shari'a law and as a. questionable human rights record as those in power are their only things to nido 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 and leave me out of all that have been 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 current leaving government i'm going to check our reporting from washington our keep. as well and soldiers come home before many of us no home to come back to tens of thousands of american soldiers become jobless and homeless and soon as the military lets them go for more but. if you're interested also our website as well a russian woman accused by the u.k. of being spied implicating a british m.p. has now reportedly taken another government official under her spell this time in germany is on the line from us tonight i don't know you tube channel two stripping for women's rights though they are activists from ukraine take the vatican by storm wearing well very little just ahead of the pope's weekly address they were quick to remove the thanks to a quick response by police simply to keep

concrete evidence after all this was ninety's russia none of their deals were written down by weeks in and i've counted a cost of nine billionaires five russian one has one is back it all israeli one british the crown prince of abu dhabi is suddenly involved for transferring one point three billion dollars from one to the other and not to mention future strange deals records of meetings that maybe never happened the whole thing's extraordinarily bizarre you try and piece the whole thing together which becomes another difficult task because you don't know how much of this is even anyway true according to mr b.'s lawyers mr a has hidden his billions in a complex web of offshore holdings so even if mr b. does win he'll have a difficult task extracting any money with so much at stake it's painstaking progress of battles expected to go on into the new year after bennett r.t. london. discuss and i know over what's happening around us the world knows i'm
