welcome you're watching r.t. from moscow with me kevin o. into night it's nine pm here in our top story for you russia's foreign ministers warn that an attack on iran would be a grave mistake with unpredictable consequences so the level of statement comes after israel said possible military action against iran's nuclear facilities is becoming more likely. the latest brushes than 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 or loose 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 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 wow man randy from university of toronto 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 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 new sanctions

by sort of portraying israel as a mad dog attack dog that needs to be somehow control than 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 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 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 a head to our website r.t. dot com you can take part in 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 through fear of you this hour take the opposite view that

there is no chance of conflict is no one's got the stomach for another bloodbath in the middle east right now there's also a tie between the final two options you can see the nine percent each saying the war is unlikely would only happen if there's overwhelming evidence that iran has nuclear weapons but similar numbers are say believing it all depends on the ground submitting to inspections by the u.n. to tell me what stocks still plenty of time 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 make claims of revenge killings in the spread of radicalism nato says its job in the country is done now details about that in a few minutes. 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 either 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 nigra cho has been following the 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 its stuff 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 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 managing economies from the so-called brics countries that is presumed russia india china now south africa added to the list russia in particular is ready to contribute at least ten billion dollars for 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 every vein 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 country to which over the edge of times correspondent purpose things contributions from emerging economies won't save the euro zone unless it's changed from within. compared to ten billion dollars that's russia is offering to defy a wall that europeans need in case italy goes under they need

a fire wall of one trillion dollars again not going to get this from the brics is out of the question not even shina would even imagine giving more than let's say fifty billion dollars it's not enough the problem is the euro doesn't work for the eurozone it worse for north and europe but not for the club med countries and they have to find a solution in sight europe from the point of view of europe would be to have a near of their would be equal for everybody from the netherlands to sicily but it's not going to happen because from the start they had this political idea that if we have a common currency we're going to have a political unity it's strong it's not going to work because there's total economic imbalance between north and southern europe and when the grants it's a political nationalism. well it's grace that heads a lot of countries of course destabilizing the eurozone right now it's in athens that a new coalition unity government 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 up and as agreed to step down of course with his replacement due to be announced later they say the new interim government will lead the country until elections expected to be held in february next year the government's main task will be approved one hundred thirty billion euro emergency rescue package that was reached between european leaders and there are now concerns that italy's on its way to becoming the next victim of the european debt crisis to economics and this next practice told me that the greek politicians bickering could have cost athens that much needed. i think it's about time that the political system became a little bit more responsible and responsive to the maids 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 make a good mating it suit in the sense that they were voting for the money but never

for the austerity i think italy and spain there are really still three largest threats to the eurozone and certainly he believes very concerning the political situation there is more unstable than it is in greece and borrowing rates the region 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 at 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 because have a really good look at the trees in 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. itself can't lend to countries then things can be very problematic. a week after

wrapping up its intervention in post gadhafi libya the head 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 in the new libyan regime and a shift towards radical islam out his gun if you can 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 do you think here 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 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 qaeda 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 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 that bothered 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 is a big alley 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 or we care about is our interest in the region bahrain another u.s. ally in the region it hosts america's fifth fleet and also leaves on the shari'a law and as 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 libya 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 analysts 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 our reporting from washington marty. as wars and soldiers come home but for many there's no home to

prop on the issues the decision is expected later on monday in coalition government's main task will be to pass the european rescue package and move considers crucial to shoring up the you're sick of the market reaction and the shares are indeed swinging from gains to losses that's what we're seeing right now the dow jones and the nasdaq declining point three and point eight percent versus keeping a close eye on the developments in europe notably in italy where there's going to be a meeting on budget deficit and ways to solve that european markets as the closing picture for monday also ended in the red that's the spike in fact e.c.b. said it's intervened to buy nine hundred billion euros worth of bonds to keep a lid on the boring costs. russian markets complete different picture they're playing catch up on monday after friday's holiday as the time change saw the u.s. markets open in just fifteen minutes before the end of the trading session in moscow which never moved to winter time last minute buying boost in russia sees the

a small european countries and their problems is not really equipped to deal with fortunately the g. twenty in never answered who is going to give the money we looks like nobody's prepared poland as desired is of course russia cuts gas supply prices fruit court pollution the monopoly is filed a claim with the stockholm moderation tribunal against russia's gazprom russia currently supplies around seventy percent of poland's cares needs in the country agreed to crease annual purchases but one of the ten percent discount for extra deliveries for its part gazprom is resisting all claims from european customers who want to renegotiate existing long 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 countries in the final round of informal negotiations smoothing out the remaining issues that decision on russia's membership expended is expected rather by the end of the week the head of the international monetary fund

christine legarde says however that the exception won't necessarily benefit economically. there are you know clearly economy benefits to be hard i'm not sure the deluge in the case of russia because you are essentially exporting a lot of room materials a lot of oil a lot of us and importing. you know manufactured goods and believe that you roughly. rough average tariff is in the range of about twelve percent so i'm not sure that you get there is going to be a massive gain as a result of turning w two although there might be some you know on some lines of products there might be be gains. so for now we will be back in all fifty five minutes on with an update so kevin is next with headlines to stay with us.

from los angeles to chicago to birmingham twenty trauma centers have closed since two thousand severe problem is not enough in-patient beds not enough urgency department beds and not enough nurses to man those deaths to take care of all the people who are the only real health care system that we have in the city of los angeles is the los angeles fire department in fact when i started my venture is a firefighter i didn't want to turn it around so i started out going to just do

firefighting it's about eighty two percent of what we do the farther problem this medical i've had to rescue a couple weeks ago waited four hours for bit i've waited sometimes three hours but i was it's a same francis and we went for four hours and fifty minutes standing against a wall of patients and we have a federal law that mandates that you can't turn no one away who seeks care in an emergency room. we have the most expensive health care system in the world and it's probably valued the least.
