1:02 am
a key of this particular pipeline is that it will allow for russian gas to be transported to europe without any intermediary influence like ukraine and belarus which is the case right now of course to restoring the construction there has been some criticism from politicians or economists who are say you got this pipeline will make your of to dependent on russian gas but others of course have argued that vice versa this goes along diversification of european energy sources so the only please well for europe to have this pipeline running from russia to germany of course they have also been some environmental concerns bottle after all hurdles how did austin after it has been proven that this pipeline in fact does not present any danger to the environment or to european gas or energy supply the pipeline is going to be launched to date on the seacoast germany of course the russian president's visit will be accompanied by the german chancellor angela merkel along with the

1:04 am
alternative should be. europe has no such alternative to europe's geopolitical position. if it manages to enter a tight partnership with russia under the same time. or that would be a sound strategy again way into the future for us. to basically name. your hard schroeder the former german chancellor and the chairman of north stream project twenty five minutes time break it leaders are struggling to decide who should become the new prime minister to lead a crisis coalition george papandreou has agreed to go but is locked in a rout with the opposition leader over who should replace him. is under enormous pressure to act fast and push through cuts before it can get more emergency you cash further has asked the greeks how they assess the mess that they're. i think you're i think quite as rumbles long greece is once again. like
1:05 am
everyone i knew about the situation here in the country we decided to come. which is really giving up its value much of the euro quite the find out what the people of great have to say about it all. so that the camera and the might. come to. let the people take it away. we have. well this is a blast. all the people. are saying. everything is made. actually. it's like they're trying to frighten us or something like that hi my name's vicky. needy and i've been living in greece for ten years now my grandfather fought for this country and it saddens me that. right now there's a chance we might lose everything that we know in this country and there's really
1:06 am
not much we can do after i want. all the european snow but cold. but. why do they lend this money question don't they want the money but the thing with the situation right now and grief is that we don't feel real secure about anything but our salaries are held and you know in my age thinking about the children going to make and the decisions i have to do from then from now it's a really sad because. everybody here things that you know that the things could be better there's something more than the trouble there's something more. there are great because of it there is a lot of unemployment in greece now. that the people in greece are very skeptical about euro i think ok there it's better we are in euro. of course definitely
1:07 am
but there are so some serious problems. because a lot of people lost they lost their jobs you don't know what's called them some more you can you can plan your life i'm twenty years old and i don't have job. i have to leave with my parents i don't have money i can leave i hope for everybody to be calm and. try to get out of the crisis and i really hope everybody can help us to do that greece is a european country and greece and europe is a quick work. it worked i hope something can be done so we can save this beautiful country and be able to pass it on to our grandchildren and the children after that people thought the mike and had a chance to have that day the question now is whether anyone's going to be ready to listen to them but i think decisions are going to keep being made behind plates.
1:08 am
in fact miscarried. next to the financial firing line if italy where debts are piling up amid a record borrowing costs prime minister berlusconi is rapidly losing support all around him but he remains resolute in being the one to pass the country's austerity budget even so his former allies are not so sure one greek financial analyst says italy's politics are worse off than in his own country i think people are really still but soon largest threats to the eurozone and certainly italy is very concerning the political situation there is more unstable than it is in greece and more and rates are reaching very unsustainable levels. and 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 what they do have to do of course other than just bailing out some countries and putting up some defenses in
1:09 am
the short term has 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 monetary policy is always going to be haphazard and when the e.c.b. itself countless in the country then things can be very problematic. still ahead for you this hour when confrontation is not an option. we look at how israel's military muscle flexing and fierce of foreign policy is turning its own people against signing up for service. and why russia's restive north talked to sixty's rising from the ruins with a powerful p.r. machine helping to attract thousands to the region. russia has issued a clear warning to israel over a possible attack on iran the foreign minister was responding to the israeli
1:10 am
president's suggestion that a military strike on iran is more likely than diplomacy sergey lavrov said any such attack would be a serious mistake with unpredictable consequences the u.n. nuclear watchdog is about to report on iran's nuclear activities where it is thought it will reveal computer models of an atomic warhead and other weapons related work israel's main ally the u.s. says it will focus on diplomacy but is ready to keep an all options open political analyst ivan eland says washington is unlikely to support israel's push for an attack. in china when mao and the chinese got nuclear weapons mao made direct threats to nuke the united states and of course lyndon johnson explored military options etc and of course they didn't take the chinese nuclear weapons out so i think you can deter this we have thousands of nuclear warheads russia has thousands of nuclear warheads i think the iranians could do what japan has done because japan has taken it all the way up to actually building a nuclear weapon they haven't done it they've shown they have the capability it's
1:11 am
or maybe that's what iran is trying to do maybe around never build a weapon they've shown that they can design a warhead that will fit on a missile getting the missile over here we've seen north korea had a lot of problems with that so we're not in the panic mode yeah but i think what the foreign minister said there is absolutely correct there's no good military option here if you want to make sure you get all the stuff you have to launch a ground invasion which would make the invasion of iraq look nice and right i mean look easy runs a much bigger country the terrain of the people there are not in a good mood towards america set or you have a lot of a lot of problems and of course they could attack by air israel or the united states could do that and that's the fear i think but there's just no good option it's increasingly tough talk that's driving away the very people that would need to defend itself that's on top of recent aggressive foreign policy moves such as the ground invasions of lebanon in two thousand and six and gaza three years ago policy

about the state so to say that this video posted on you tube is a true israeli doesn't evade the truth in other words a true israeli avoids conscription fifteen or twenty years ago and everything like this would have been unthinkable in those days not serving in the army was something shameful but now youngsters have role models like activity in order to coppers former girlfriend israeli model barbara fady who evade. service and gave it a little missy bell ations of human rights. for our boys world absolutely this respect of international law it's crystal clear there's no question i mean as far as moral decisions go. it's not a big dilemma the only thing to overcome is actually of social pressure but that social pressure is loosening up which is why volunteers maxa have a lawn are trying to stop dodges by lobbying the government and speaking at schools
