you watching our team from moscow with me kevin zero in this hour it's now eleven pm here in our top story russia's foreign ministers war that an attack on iran would be grave mistake with unpredictable consequences so good lavrov statement comes after israel said possible military action against iran's nuclear facilities is becoming more likely overcautious got the latest. russia stands 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 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 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 iraq afghanistan or other countries in the region military interference only leads to a multiple rise in gas. 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 said that so if there's going to be a military intervention and iran is prepared for it first mohammad marandi from the university of tehran 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 as it ought to 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 training israel as a dog park 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 the report of 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 with the documents this shows that this is basically an attempt to create. pressure and to to move public opinion against iran whereas in your opinion today we're asking you how likely military action is against around do you think head to our web site r.t. dot com to take part in this is what you're telling us to get a majority of you saying that you think it's a certainty because the u.s. and israel need fifteen percent of respondents take the opposite view you think

there's no chance a conflict is no one's got the stomach for another bloodbath in the middle east right now and once again to tie this between the final two options that just under a tenth of a year war is unlikely would only happen if there's overwhelming evidence that surrounds nuclear weapons and said we're going to believe it all depends on the ground submitting to inspections by the un's atomic watchdog you're going to see the consul's what you think. coming up on the program a cloudy future lives over libya i mean claims of killing the spread of radicalism nato says this job in the country has done more on that ship. first as 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 the guards preparing to head off to china and choose day and is currently in moscow for talks with the kremlin and his country following a visit. during these financially turbulent times russia can offer of the

i.m.f. and 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 default as it is now the case with praise recent developments in this european country and the euro crisis in general. to go over of 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 module economies from the so-called brics countries that has resumed washer india china and all south africa added to the list russia in particular is ready to contribute at least ten billion dollars for the european

union but mission advantage 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's a country of the european union directly and another must condition is that the brics countries are given f.o.'s 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 all the support you've got percent of its international reserves in euros. as a term of course part of pepe escobar thanks contributions for emerging economies won't save the eurozone unless it's changed from within. compared it can be an dollars that's russia's offerings to the fire war that europeans need in case italy goes under the need a fire war loan 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 eurozone or it worse for norse in europe not for the club med countries in they have to find a solution inside europe from 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 from the start they had this political idea that if we had 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. it's a political nationalism. of course greece that heads the line of countries destabilizing the euro zone and it's in athens that a new coalition unity government's been formed to try to tackle the debt crisis there it comes after weeks of political chaos that's put greece's membership of the

euro in jeopardy promises george peppard rares agreed to step down now with his replacement due to be announced any time soon new interim government will lead the country until elections 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 there are now consents to that italy is on the way to becoming the next victim of europe's debt crisis as well to economics and its next cracker said probably needs drastic reform if it wants to survive. i think it's about time that the political system became a little bit more responsible and responsive to the mates of the country and greece itself i think a coalition should have been formed quite a while ago saying that a lot of the opposition parties were having their cake and eating it suit in the sense that they were voting for the money but maybe for the austerity i think italy and strain apparently still puts the largest threats to the eurozone and certainly

heelys very concerning with political situation there is more unstable than it is in greece and the borrowing rates the regime very own sustainable levels i think there are many good reasons to worry for other countries and even call countries like france you may well lose their aaa rating at some point in the future or 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 and 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 military policy is always going to be haphazard and when the city itself count lamed countries then things can be very problematic. week after wrapping up his intervention in post cafe libya the head of nato says it

has no major role in the country in the future that's despite widespread allegations of crimes though on the humanity against the new libyan regime and a shift towards radical islam is going to get 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 these killing their narrative changed you know you talk about this arab spring and many people you can 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 un 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-qaeda flag planted on a levy an 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 legal again consistent with sharia law actual real law to include punishments such as cutting off the hands of thieves beheading convicted murderers and rapists stoning to death adulterers 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 leader in governments 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 they're not allowed to vote the crime for adultery for women is the death penalty and saudi arabia and none of this seems that while 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 and 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 bahrain another u.s. ally in the region it hosts america's through fleet and also leads under shari'a law and as a. questionable human rights record as full leave 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 in libya maybe out of all have it 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 we 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 r.t. . this was an soldiers come home but for many there's no home to come back to tens

of thousands of american soldiers because of jobless and homeless and so there's the military let's go read more about that on our web site okey doke on what you there to these stories you may be interested in the russian woman accused by the u.k. of being spied implicating a british m.p. that's now reportedly taken another government official under the spell of the style in germany more details with online or you should travel to stripping of women's rights activists from ukraine take the vatican by storm with where it will see just after the pope's weekly address there they were quickly removed those ladies thanks for the past response by the police who could barely keep a straight face we here. on our you tube channel. feeding russian tycoon. have taken their battle to a u.k. call and it's no small claim either with over six and i have billion dollars at stake so thanks our business for him but his offspeed claims of removing two robbed

him of the money by intimidating him into selling oil shares on the cheap something with chelsea football club owner denies he's of a bennett's and watching the billion dollar lawsuit play out. it's been dubbed the battle of the oligarchs in one corner is an easter egg estimated fifteen billion assets for your chelsea football club and a french chateau in the other corner mr b. estimated fortune five hundred million he had to sell his yacht for he does still have his trusty stretch my back and she never fails to show off. which is rise to riches is a story precious few knew until now his time in the witness stand has lifted the lid on a life in the shadows he revealed how some of his companies employed primarily disabled staff and a lucrative thirty percent tax breaks and he came clean on the piles of cash he paid for protection as he dived into the infamous alamy and walls of the ninety's where we now know someone was murdered every three days not exactly that clean cut

image one of britain's most beloved foreign imports he did want to i think it was in the wall moving of the only difference between a rattle them through his appeal and here his p.r. has been very good because of the very image you know he doesn't really come across aggressively that we say anything at all he wants to go respectful and suddenly we're all made aware of the rather sort of see the origins of his wealth it's a bird of that world but he claims he's he's still a wanted man in russia he's suing mr average for six and a half billion dollars they set up the oil company significator in the ninety's it's about as he claims he was blackmailed into selling his stake at a fraction of its true worth a mere one point two million dollars the money here is massive the case is expected to smash the record but the u.k.'s most expensive privately funded litigation is thought to be costing eighty dollars a second in here as for the legal fees mr every moment she is a route to be sixteen million dollars these lawyers have their work cut out there

are no real no fee basis the pair used to be close to be. he gave his protege the all important leg up into the world of the super rich and we now know he was paid for his troubles but mr a says that was just protection money denying they were ever business partners in fact claim this case rides on there's no concrete evidence after all this was ninety's russia and none of their deals were written down by weeks in and i've counted the cost of nine billionaires five russian one one is becky paul israeli one british the crown prince of abu dhabi is suddenly involved for transferring one point three billion dollars from one to the other not to mention future strange deals records of meetings that maybe never happened the whole thing's extraordinary really bizarre you try to 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 extract any money with so much at stake it's painstaking progress the battles expected to go on into the new year are when it r.t. london the occupy wall street protests continue across the u.s. including eleven mile neighborhood march in new york one day in the meantime police are continuing to crackdown on protesters after a violent clashes and arrests over the weekend let's get some first hand views on this now until to a timothy frogs he joins us on the line from new york so if a very good even with this i mean as an activist yourself i hear what exactly you're trying to achieve play the picture for us. personally i would like to see a. more open government of the united states opening the political system to the millions of americans who go on represented by the democratic and republican

parties you know there are millions upon millions of independents and third party supporters in the united states and. quite frankly they are they are often ignored by leaders in washington and in state government but you can't be ignored now and you have the u.s. government seems to be avoiding with you. rev rest the protesters as well though you thought to be disheartening. you know i think that's probably you know i think that is to be expected it's par for the course although at the same time you know the occupy occupy wall street protests are already changing the political dialogue in the country you know republicans are talking about social inequality democrats are talking about corporate personhood and you know in these are very these are important issues to a lot of people down the protests in the financial district as these protests go on

is there any sign that they're losing steam until. i don't think so they seem to be gaining steam you know there's you know i go down to i go down to liberty plaza on a regular basis you know and you can find you know there's a power was unspeakable milling about at any given time and that any time of the day you know people are always there and it's got this kind of become the base for a lot of political organizing that's going on all over new york city and as you know it's also spread around the country and around the world as well as we told that second iraq war veterans in in hospital. after the. police in oakland last week last thursday he told reporters he was beaten by police batons why do you think he was i'm told he's a dealing with largely peaceful protesters in this way. i think it has to do

a lot with the militarization of police which has been real which was really ramped up in. the aftermath of september eleventh you know if you notice the you know when there's when there's when there has been violence it's when there are you know dozens upon dozens of you know of riot police in full gear you know it's almost like the police come in looking for a fight and with that kind of an attitude you're going you're going to get one you know has there has been some there has been the use of excessive force by police in new york city but as we've seen new york's you know in comparison with police police elsewhere around the country for instance in oakland. you know it's coming on what community you're in there's going to be a different police response because of the different cultures in those police departments but police police brutality is a is a big problem in the united states and you know the one of the the wall street

protests are showing that are you know that's one issue that a lot of people are organizing around i deserved a march two weeks ago in harlem that was against the new york police department's policy of what they call stop and frisk which is they just stop people on the street and frisk them with you know wonder with some suspicion of wrongdoing but ninety percent of the people who are stopped and frisked and there's hundreds of thousands of them every year there's you know they go free they're not even issued citations to be seen i know you say you give making headway raising awareness crucially but i guess is the difference is the raising awareness not actually making concrete changes does a movement like you know the one you're participating in really have any real prospect of changing the course of politics in the u.s. something going to cause part of mind those presidential elections coming up next year. i think it does and i think i think it i think it can this movement already is making change happen in this

country and we can have real effect the fact that it's the protests have spread all over the country bodes well for local grassroots political organizing from the bottom up you know a lot of people you know obviously the presidential election is going to be on the minds of most people but you know you have to remember that next you know this year today i think tomorrow and next year you know there are going to be elections for local city county state and federal government all over the country. compared with those compared with all of those elected officials the presidency you know doesn't have you know like can't really compare with. you know with the importance of a local of local politics to be very brief you see it so that's where a movement like this can have its real effect i can see it so very briefly participating in these approaches if we're going on in six months to years time yes i think people i saw i saw

a report that there are plans being introduced to the general assembly down at occupy wall street that have that you know there they are you know they're planning for years and years into the future to mrs rowles new york it was wonderful we. carry on just briefly oh yeah i saw one proposal that you know there are proposals that have plans for for organizing plans that extend to two thousand and fourteen and twenty sixteen i even saw one that went all the way to twenty twenty four ok thank you for your thoughts on the program. appreciated. let me take you rather world's music brief to liberia first there are riots broken out of the headquarters of the country's main opposition party just a day before a presidential run off at least three people killed dozens injured it comes after thousands rallied in the capital as their candidate called for a boycott of the runoff over fears of fraud favoring the incumbent president

opposition candidate winston tubman claimed the first round of voting was biased against him but international election observers say last month's poll was free and fair in yemen government forces have killed six militants during clashes in a southern city bringing to eleven now the number of insurgents recently killed in the area the region about beyond is reported to be partly taken over by al qaeda extremists some say the violent antigovernment protests of help militants going control of the area over fifteen hundred people have died since demonstrations against presidents and they started in february. so we have just a few moments more economic analysis in the brain in cross talk late edition on air for you that's right after a recap of our top stories and business next. thanks kevin good evening and welcome to business r.t. european debt remains one of the dominating issues for the markets this week france

and italy are in the spotlight as they deal with their budget deficit that's after greece's and battered prime minister george papandreou announced he is stepping down after support of plans for a friend on the e.u. bailout investors are now waiting to see who is brave enough to step in chicago and it was shoes the decision is expected later on monday coalition governments main task will be to pass the european rescue package a move considered crucial to shoring up the euro so you get the market's reaction and really moving up and down markets in the u.s. open but the name moved further into red and now they're mixed this is really cautious watching the developments in europe notionally in italy which is due to have a painting on the budget deficit problems that the country is going through european stocks at the close are back into the red despite the fact that. it's intervened by nine half billion euros worth of bonds to keep

a lid on boring costs. more russian markets were playing catch up on monday after friday's holiday now the try and change the saudi u.s. markets open just fifteen minutes before the end of the trading session in moscow that's as moscow never moved to winter time of course last minute buying no saw a boost for the r.t.s. nice of one point three percent. good oil reversing back into poles of territory support was seen for energy stocks on the my six rosneft up almost four percent lots of the recently announcing a production boost in the financial sector bank was gaining two percent of the close. the capital wraps up the base. words are today was a fraction of the end of the g twenty meeting with the chair failed to live up to expect patients the hype of the last one after months and the. obviously we all saw and in most of the markets beforehand russian market is always the calmer because of the strength of your price. markets probably down. quite obvious because they

tell him he'll that is is catching you high so it's been difficult for the term government to refinance to remind you italy is a much bigger problem which then you fund which was created to sell they're just more european countries and there are problems that really quick to deal with unfortunately the g twenty never answered who is going to give the money now we know it looks like nobody is prepared and so you can almost two decades of talks but now russia finally has its first in the of the world trade organization countries in a final round of informal negotiations smoothing out the remaining issues and this is not russia's membership is expected by the end of the week the head of the international monetary fund christine a girl says however that the w.t. or exception will necessarily benefit economically there or you know clearly economy benefits to be heard i'm not sure that they are huge in the case of russia because you are essentially exporting a lot of room materials a lot of oil a lot of cares and any importing. you know manufactured goods

leaves that you knew roughly. wrath of the age 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 joining w two although there might be some you know on some lines of products there might be gains. so i business tsotsi is back tuesday morning eight twenty am moscow time joins us again.
