tea for moscow with me kevin owen it's one am here now on our top story 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 freshest and 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 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 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 sat that's if there's going to be a military intervention and iran is prepared for it. threats of the british american security information council told me that israel which has denied working on nuclear weapons for years is now worried because it considers iran is doing the same. if you look at the history of how israel got a nuclear weapon it's kind of. rather resembles israel actually denied it was working on a new weapon for years when in fact it was you know it kind of lied and cheated its way and has never actually declared having a nuclear arsenal it could be that iran is actually emulating just what the

israelis did which is why the israelis are so worried because they can see that that's the that's what they did themselves so what's different now is i think that the israelis are kind of seeing that after. possibly a halt all the difficulties that the iranians were having with their program that seems to be a resume and and so that's why now israeli cabinet has apparently being been discussing taking unilateral and preemptive measures. always good to know what you think of the top stories we're covering of the day tonight we're asking you online do you think military action is likely against iran this is what you've been telling us about commas take a look at the majority of you again all i've really been saying you think it's because you think the u.s. and israel need this war fifty percent of your fourteen i. take the opposite view you think there's no chance of conflict as no one is the stomach for the

bloodbath in the middle east look at you the votes there split nine percent believe me it all depends on the run submitting to inspections probably you and i talk watchdog eight percent of the minority this thinking the war is unlikely the building but there's overwhelming evidence that surrounds got nuclear weapons you cast your vote online. still to come on a cloudy few cheer looms over libya claims of revenge killings on the spread of radicalism nato says its job in the country is a veto from. next up as more and more countries are turning to the international monetary fund for help with in turn is reaching out for support from some of the world's emerging financial power players christine the guards are preparing to head off to china on tuesday and is currently here a moscow for talks with the kremlin. has been following reverse it. 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 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 euro is coming from the emerging economies from the so-called brics countries that is brazil russia india china now south africa added to the list russia in particular is ready to contribute at least time 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 f.o.c. 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. as the times correspondent purpose give us things contributions from emerging economies won't save the eurozone unless it's changed from within. compared to ten billion dollars that russia is offering to the fire wall that europeans need in case italy goes under they need a fire wall of one trillion dollars you're not going to get this from the brics is out 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 it worse for norse in europe but 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 a neural there'll 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 still too economic imbalance between north and southern europe and it when the grants it's a political nationalism. the big focus of course on greece that's the one that's heading the line of countries destabilizing the eurozone right now and it's in athens that a new coalition unity government being 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 patton dreher is now going to step down with his

replacement due to be announced any time soon the new interim government will lead the country until elections they're expected in february next year and the government's main task will be to approve a one hundred fifty billion euro emergency rescue package that was reached between european leaders and there are now concerns of course as well that it's only is on its way to becoming the next victim of europe's debt crisis i suppose economics on this next crackers have told me that you need 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 and greece itself i think a coalition should have being 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 are probably still the two largest threats to the eurozone and certainly

here to lead is very concerning in that the political situation there is more unstable than it is in greece and the borrowing rates that are raging 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 but 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. itself count lamed countries then things can be very problematic. week after roughing up its intervention in postproduction libya the head of nato says it has no major role in the future of the country but despite widespread allegations

of crimes against humanity under the new libyan regime and a shift towards radical islam and he's going to chicken and 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 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 many people didn't 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 young holding human rights does that story 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 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 america is a big. 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 bob greene 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 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 and only saying 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. . as war's end soldiers come home but for many there's no home to come by to tens

to i think it was the moment you know the only difference between a rotten p.r. and here is p.r. has been very good preserve the very image he doesn't really come across aggressively the resale nothing at all he wants to go respectable and suddenly we're all of the rather sort of see the origins of his wealth it's a third of that wealth that. claims he's 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 just 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 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 rumored to be sixteen million

going on trial of the area over fifteen hundred people died since demonstrations against presence i started in february. in syria heavy fire fight said to be underway as government forces try to storm the residential block or a group of insurgents are hiding out dozens have been killed in anti-government rallies in the home since sunday damascus accuses the u.s. involvement in violence in the country and asked the arab league to support of the issue illegal make a further attempt to try to tackle the crisis this week to proclaim an earlier peace deal that's been why the world. the very first time in a row a moment in history was redacted in the heart of the russian capital a parade marked the seventieth anniversary of a march by soviet soldiers on advancing nazi invaders to face the want of battle that killed more than a million people peter all of a witnessed the event on red square. this is the first time that the parade is being reenacted as it took place in one nine hundred forty one this is to mark the

the seventieth anniversary of the to march across red square and then to the front to defend moscow against the nazi home slaughter the date of the seventh of november before they spray 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 now follow the good guru and calendar which put such a 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 they did hitler wanted to be in moscow he wanted to have more school taken by this point to march in red square himself in similar ways this he had done in paris and other cities in europe 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 fascists 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 and recreate pieces of military hardware from the time also taking part in the bottle of moscow itself was very bloody very brutal over a million people killed and injured in the fighting to defend the cup or so many of those people who marched across red square just behind me in nineteen forty one who died as they fell at the front defending the capital from germany. peter all of us thanks for talking to former british government associates his views on the origins of europe's debt crisis he thinks the e.u. was suffocating its members.

i'm joined by lord hesketh a former cabinet minister in both margaret thatcher's and john major's governments and he's just become the most high profile defector from david cameron's conservative party joining you keep the u.k. independence party note hesketh thanks speaking to r.t. now you've been a member of the tory party although i don't live why jump ship now well it's been a long process and i think the simple summation is this. every government. that we have had with the exception of margaret satcher

has essentially allowed itself to be bamboozled by the civil service. into avoiding having a serious discussion with the europeans about sorting out the problem and i'm afraid that is happening with this government there's no point listening to a lot of people telling you what they believe when they fail to carried out in government so the only party which actually recognizes that you cannot deal with the europeans the europeans have no desire to negotiate. europe all the is a new kind of religion. it is run by people who pay follow taxes than anyone else in europe and have their children educated charger in a circle everyone forty in private schools from brussels and the european parliament would most the members of paid about three or four times as much money

as they would ever own in any other trouble your i might have to do in life and the system is essential to corrupt and it is unchangeable therefore i've drawn a party which believes in two things one is telling people the truth and sticking with it when we achieve office would eventually we will because the public are upset absolutely fed up to the back teeth with mainstream politicians thing. happen is hopes and promises and delivering absolutely nothing but the opposite the bailout has been a green with the extra firepower in the banks agreeing to heart of greece's debt is this really the shot the needs or is it just another band aid that's about it. it's a band-aid because the real numbers three trillion maybe four trillion and secondly the markets are looking for detail and there is no

detail that never has been any detail there was no detail in july there was no detail last year and there will be no details this time and this deal will fall apart and the markets will make that happen because the markets don't like being lied to and as sure as usual they are being lied to let's just say what if it does work ok what if the recovers and britain's not part of it what if they leak what if what do you stand to lose. i know we stand to lose and like sponges the rest of the european stands to lose they run a huge trade surplus with us so they're going to be the losers there's no particular i mean that the europeans i mean the german army let's take the german dollar for example german army consumes more beer in afghanistan than it does aviation fuel i mean are there are some there are some pretty fundamental problems in europe in terms of what they're actually capable of doing and delivering i mean today we have the last sort of great lies thrown out us which is if we don't all

agree to this magnificent servant it's good to be wall so is this the beginning of the end would he save the e.u. i did do some going to the end of the toll i think maybe the beginning of a new beginning which will be based on facts rather than fiction because the problem at the moment is the e.u. is based on fiction because it doesn't have political reality the whole problem of this crisis it was created by the europeans themselves because who could not have a single currency without a political union they knew they couldn't get away of the political unit so they disappeared to the equivalent of las vegas and signed up to and maybe a proposition which is to have a unified currency with no unified policies the result is you have a situation and you want to take forget trillions forget billions forget hundreds of millions look at that reality you want to go and have a cup of coffee in central pay one of the most expensive places in the world

because the same as going to. increase pay for going to get rid of unemployment in greece you're going to have to get the price down and it's almost everything is priced in europe is that will never be possible to happen therefore best thing if i was agree i would be down to get a grant. to get out of this because what happens there still in the or is it so that french banks take a hack. but they're still stuck with the euro and of course everyone prices you see to give you an example before the euro zone and a car manufacturer in europe would have a different pricing structure for cars were sold in greece the cars sold in turkey or cars or sold in italy southern italy in northern little beer the u.k. parts of southern england northern england wales and wherever because the

markets would take thought there was a level of individual pricing now the moment the euro zone came in and the single market came in what then happened was who couldn't actually do that had it all so the result was that there was an automatic splosion of inflation particular in a country like greece which produces practically nothing domestically in the capital goods market so the result was that the costs went up on a progressively higher scale than elsewhere in germany that's why northern europe have been the winner of the euro zone and the southern europe has been basically impoverished by not hesketh thank you thank you very much.
