russia's foreign minister swore that an attack on iran repeat a grave mistake with unpredictable consequences so the lover of statement comes after israel said possible military action against iran's nuclear facilities is becoming more likely. the 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 it's not should our view a list 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 or 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 sad that so if there is going to be a military intervention and iran is prepared for it professor mohammad marandi from the 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 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 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 whereas instead your opinion today we're asking how likely military action is it going to stick 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 they're just under a tent to say your war is unlikely would only happen if there's overwhelming evidence

that iran has nuclear weapons and said we'll never believe it all depends on the ground submitting to inspections by the un's atomic watchdog and to r.t. dot com tell us what you think. coming up on the program a cloudy future lives over libya and make claims of killing the spread of radicalism nato says its job in the country is done we've got more on that show. first as more and more countries are turning to the international monetary fund for help 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 on choose day and is currently in moscow for talks with the kremlin and is a country which oversees 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 step 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 magic economies from the so-called brics countries that is presumed russia india china now south africa added to the list russia in particular is ratted 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 would be in 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. of course but of purpose things contributions for emerging economies won't save the eurozone unless it's changed from within. compared to ten billion dollars that's russia is offering to the fire 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 works 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 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 have 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 grants it's a political nationalism. grace that heads the line of countries destabilizing the arizonan 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 promising george peppard dreyer's a great to step down now with his replacement judy to be announced any time soon new interim government will lead the country until elections expected to be held in february next year the governor's main task will be to approve a one hundred thirty billion euro of merchant sea 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 i spoke to economics analysts next cracker said probably the least 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 maids of the country 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 probably still it's the 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 regime very unsustainable levels 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 have to do is. just bailing out some countries and putting up some defenses in the short term you 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 and very different countries sitting one uniform monetary policy is always going to be haphazard. and will easily be its turn blue in the countries between it's going to be very problematic. but week after wrapping up his intervention in post gadhafi 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 that is going to feature can ask whether the west has made a habit of turning a blind died of the shortcomings of its allies. cheere first question later

not so long ago the u.s. media presented libyan rebels as freedom loving folks yearning for democracy after could alfie's killing their narrative changed you know you talk about this arab spring and many 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 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 the 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 is 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 bahrain another u.s. ally in the region it hosts america's fifth fleet and also leaves under 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 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 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 war zone 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 as soon as the military lets them go read more about that on our website r t dot com what is there to these stories you may be interested in a russian woman accused by the u.k. of being spied implicating a british m.p.

estimated fortune five hundred million he had to sell his yacht but he does still have his trusty stretch my bar which he never fails to show off. his rise to riches is a story precious few knew until now his turn 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 lending 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 alimony 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 loved foreign imports he did want to i think it was the moment you know the only difference between a rat in a dumpster is people and he is pure good preserves the very image he doesn't really come across aggressively the we say anything at all he wants to go respectable and

suddenly we're always aware of the rather sort of see the origins of his wealth it's a third of that wealth but. claims is he's still a wanted man in russia he's suing mr adam over it for six and a half billion dollars they set up the oil company sit next to gether in the ninety's. 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 for 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 abbott is a route to be sixteen million dollars a barrel lawyers have their work cut out there on a no win no fee basis the pair used to be close miss 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 it's that claim this case rides on but there's no concrete evidence after all this was ninety's russia none of their deals were written down five weeks in and i've counted the cost of nine billionaires five russian one cause one is becky ball 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 pujol strange deals recordings of meetings that maybe never happened the whole thing's extraordinary really 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 pease 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 the battles expected to go on into the new year after bennett r.t.

london. the occupy wall street protests continue across the u.s. including an eleven mile neighborhood march in new york monday in the meantime police are continuing to crackdown on protesters after violent clashes and arrests over the weekend let's get some first hand views on this now until to the timothy phrase he joins us on the line from new york timothy very good evening to you thanks for being with us i mean there's an activist yourself i hear what exactly you're trying to achieve paint the picture for us. personally i would like to see a. more open government of the united states opening the political system up 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 doll oga with. the rest of the protesters as well do you find that a bit disheartening. you know i think that's probably you know i think that was to be expected it's par for the course although at the same time you know the occupy wall the 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 and these are very these are important issues to a lot of people down at the protest in the financial district as these protests go on is already sign that they're losing steam until. i don't think so they seem to be gaining steam you know there is 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 thousand people milling about at any given time and eat at any time of the day

you know people are always there and it's because it's 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 hospital begged. off to the. police in oakland last week last thursday he told reporters he was beaten by police batons why do you think the u.s. authorities are dealing with largely peaceful protest is in this way. i think it has to do a lot with what the militarization of police which has been really which was really ramped up in. the aftermath of september eleventh you know if you notice the you know when there is when there is 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 there has there has been some there has been the use of excessive force by police in new york city but as we've seen the you know in comparison with police police elsewhere around the country for instance in oakland. you know it's depending 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 big problem in the united states and you know the walk 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 what are some suspicion of wrong doing

but ninety percent of the people who are stopped and frisked and there's hundreds of thousands of them every year they are there's you know they go free they're not even injured citations to the seat i know you say you have making headway raising awareness crucially but i guess is a different thing raising awareness not actually making concrete changes but he does a movement like you know was the one you were participating in really have any real prospect of changing the course of politics in the u.s. some figure to cause her to 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 that 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 really compare with. you know with the importance of local local politics typically very briefly do you see it so that's where a movement like this can have its real effect i get you i mean do you see yourself very briefly participating in these approaches if it going on in six months time a 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 they're there you know they're planning for years and years into the future to mrs rowles new york there was one proposal i

saw. kerry all just briefly yeah. 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 two thousand and sixteen i even saw one that went all the way to two thousand and twenty four ok thank you for your thoughts on the program to be a. pretty. 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 runoff at least three people killed dozens injured it comes after thousands rallied in the capital as their candidate called for a boycott of the run of fears of fraud favoring the incumbent those of the 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 the southern city bringing to eleven the number of insurgents recently killed in the

a coalition government's 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. opened up the name moved further into red and now they're mixed versus really cautious watching the developments in europe is something which is due to have a meeting on the budget deficit problems that the country is going through european stocks at the close are back into the red that's this by the fact. it's intervened by nine billion euros worth of bonds to keep the lid on boring costs. more russian markets were playing catch up on monday after friday's holiday now the time change saw the u.s. markets open just fifteen minutes before the end of the trading session in moscow that is moscow never moved to a time of course last minute buying of saw

fortunately the g twenty never answered who is going to give the money nobody looks like nobody is prepared and the say can almost two decades of talks but now russia finally has its foot in the door of the world trade organization the country is in a final round of informal negotiations smoothing out the remaining issues that decision on russia's membership is expected by the end of the week the head of the international monetary fund christine legarde says however that the w.t. or exception will necessarily benefit economically there or you know clearly economy benefits to be had 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 galahs and importing. you know manufactured goods believes 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 joining w two although there might be some you know on some lines of
