broadcasting live direct from our studios in central moscow this is r.t. glad to have you with us western europeans can rest easier this winter with an uninterrupted flow of russian gas to keep them warm but nord stream pipeline will pump fuel along the baltic sea floor and straight to customers without relying on transit countries like ukraine and belarus president medvedev will start to flow in germany later on tuesday. as there. the key points off the russian president's visit to germany is the launch the official opening of the north stream gas pipeline of course that gas pipeline which is an offshore pipeline runs for more than twelve hundred kilometers from a russian town of to germany its offshore pipeline that runs along the bottom off the baltic sea it has been in construction since april of two thousand and ten and

the key of this particular pipeline is that it will allow for russian gas to be transported to europe without any intermediary points like ukraine and belarus which is the case right now of course the repairing the construction there has been some criticism from politicians or economists who are saying that this pipeline will make your of too 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 there have also been some environmental concerns posture all our hurdles have been asked and 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 along the seacoast germany of course the russian president to be very will be accompanied by the german chancellor angela

merkel along with the french prime minister. this is a very very busy day ahead for the russian president's words cutting a lot from this particular visit of course we'll bring you the latest as we get it . parties eating a political reporting for us there and in business r.t. around twenty minutes from now discover nordstrom's journey from pipe dream to reality and in the next hour former german chancellor gerhard schroeder who is now chairman of nord stream tells us why this means everyone is aware. of the. european union needs russia geopolitically but the reverse is also true it's not a question or kind of the time has come to start cooperating and so looking back on about it logically different just when you she's in a situation where you could ship gas to china all of a year and you are you know i hope russia doesn't have to make it or if i don't come close the government is evidently cruel european or europe or canada keep pushing your sure way it hurts much he cried if you we have to keep in mind for oil

gusher as the alternative leadership he's written with europe has no such alternative europe's geopolitical position it will be approved if it manages to enter a tight bush every russian and at the same time ground he was specially physically or that would be a serious tragedy or into the future of us the rest of us the world today. and you can see the full interview with former german chancellor and of chairman of knowledge stream gerhard schroeder in just over an hour right here on r.t. . now greek 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 row with the opposition leader over who should replace him athens is under enormous pressure to act fast and push through cuts before it can get more emergency cash sarah firth's asked greeks how they assess the message there.

as the year anything quite as long greece was once again found itself the focus of international attention and it seems like everyone's had an opinion about the situation here in the country we decided to come to the square which is really. if so you much of this year are quite the find out what the people of greece have to say about it all. so we start at the camera and. let the people of take it away alone we are. all the people who. are saying. everything is. 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 you might lose everything that we know in this country and there's really not much we can do and i want. all for european snow but all this dead cannot be big but. why do they lend this money to us don't they want the money but the thing with a situation right now and greece is that we don't feel real secure about then think about our salaries our health and you know in my age thinking about the children going to make and of the seasons i have to do from then from now it's really sad because. everybody here things that you know the things could be better there's something more than this there's something more very very angry 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 they it's better we are in euro. of course definitely but

there are so some serious problems. because a lot of people lost they lost their jobs you don't know what. you can do you can plan your life i'm twenty years old and i 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 greek word. it works but 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. thought the mike and had a chance to have a question now is whether anyone's going to be ready to listen whether decisions

are going to keep being made but hind. third. syntagma square in. next to the financial firing line is italy where debts are piling up amid record borrowing costs prime minister berlusconi is rapidly losing support but insists he won't quit years resolute that he is the one to get vital cuts through but even 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 italy and spain oprah 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 so the borrowing rates are reaching very unstable. i think we are many good reasons to worry for other countries even cool countries like france who may well lose their aaa rating at some point in the future or what they do have 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 so being one uniformed military policy is always going to be haphazard and when the c.b. itself can't live in the country then it's going to be very problematic and still ahead for you this hour when confrontation is not an option. we'll look at how israel's military muscle flexing and fierce foreign policy is turning its own people against signing up for service. and why russia's arrest of north caucasus is rising from the ruins with a powerful machine helping to attract thousands from the region. russia has issued a clear one into israel over a possible attack on iran before and it minister was responding to the israeli

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 what is ready to keep all options open political analyst ivan even he says washington is unlikely to support israel's push from attack. in china when mao and the chinese got nuclear weapons now 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 your panel has done because japan has taken it all the way out to actually building

a nuclear weapon they haven't done it they've shown they have the capability it's 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 hitting the missile over here we've seen north korea had a lot of problems with that so we're not in a panic mode yet 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 the people there are not in a good mood towards america sattar you have a lot of a lot of problems and now 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 israel's increasingly tough talk that's driving away the very people it 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

polis lir reports on the israeli conflicts that are repellent it's conscripts for years it's been the cornerstone of the country's security but these days there's a real risk these weighty defense forces could lift defenseless consumption is at an all time you know between the age of forty. fifty percent of the. jewish males. serve in the military. instead of choosing to serve a country people are choosing to serve themselves. one about conor spend most of the year and a half he was in the army trying to convince his superiors to release him a medical grounds they eventually did but only after he wasted months searching around he says doing nothing while in uniform it would be a draft for a. because of this feeling that i would be her sorry if i wouldn't and a couple months later i realized that actually my sole responsibility is to you

monica are in first and foremost a human being i just didn't take part in longer and there is what's called israel defense forces which has nothing to do with defense other than rain and a growing number of israelis agree with him peter friedman made sure she scored low on her army entrance tests so instead of serving as a soldier she's now doing civil service working as an art instructor and a center for the mentally disabled i have friends in the army and i saw. how they were when they first came to them in how they are now and it's a lot of brainwashing actually and they just take you down from your identity and make you basically a soldier ten years ago the refusenik movement started in israel youngsters refusing to serve in the army on political grounds add to that the nearly fifteen percent of potential draftees who don't serve because of religious reasons and

a recent series of scandals also hold public trust in the military to apply the state to do good things about the state so. this video posted on you tube says a true israeli doesn't evade the truth in other words a true israeli avoids conscription fifteen or twenty years ago an average like this would have been unthinkable in those days not serving in the army was something shameful but now youngsters have role models like acting in order to couple years former girlfriend israeli model bar refaeli who evade. service and gave it just missy relations of human rights. third are by israel absolutely this respect of international law it's crystal clear there's no question about it i mean as far as moral decisions go it's not a big dilemma the only thing to overcome is actually social pressure but that social pressure is loosening up which is why volunteers next to her alone are trying to stop it last dodges by lobbying the government and speaking at schools

she says part of the problem is with on yourself it's very easy to be exempt you know if you go to the mental health officer with a litter that you paid for he doesn't have the facilities the money the time to check if you lie to him or not he doesn't want to take the risk study showed that by twenty twenty the number of military age and jewish israelis who will not be serving will be the highest ever the growing trend has the military why we need it won't have all the troops it needs especially now as the region heats up and the army needs all the soldiers it can get policy r.t.e. television. headed to argy dot com for more on all of our stories plenty more for you there as well. the packers are back the notorious anonymous group is warming up for another audacious online attack this time targeting america's presidential

you think of the caucasus because that's and mostly what we hear in the news. but real life is. as always much more complicated there is another side to living down here that's barely even heard of beyond the region but which is well worth making the effort to discover your i never thought it would be possible insurgent sure amount of time what's happened in some kind of miracle i can't believe my eyes and it's knowledge and soaring skyscrapers and business interests popping up ham celebrities have been cheered and while some like actress hilary swank may have been forced to explain her visit the fall out it's only helped with the reach and on the front pages the p.r. machine straining at full speed because where the stars go the cameras from my dinner question are reporting from the north caucasus because a reporter is on the way to take a side swipe more major money mismanagement but this time it's cathedrals rather

than corporations korea has this hour's business of top stories first. hello iraq on top as the south thanks for joining me as we've been reporting on r.t. grass is set to start counting gas to europe for the newly built nord stream quite like we're across the launch for you throughout the day but now they call explains how the world's longest underwater gas link came to fruition. russia has been selling gas to europe for half a century with the first pipeline running to austria completed in one thousand nine hundred eighty seven trading survived a long list of all evils even the depths of the cold war failed to disrupt supplies however the breakup of the soviet union brought a new set of problems much of the energy infrastructure became the property of countries bordering russia with their own political economic ambitions this resulted in a couple of so-called gas wars with ukraine and the old bust up with bella rims

which is where north stream comes in the pipeline runs beneath the baltic linking russia directly to germany it's the longest subsidy pipeline in the world over twelve hundred kilometers and it bypasses all transit countries the nine billion euros it's undoubtedly expensive but a pipeline last for up to fifty years so there's plenty of trying to make a return the immediate benefit is it provide security of supply to europe which gets twenty five percent of its gas from russia and after thirteen years of planning and two years of construction the first delivery is about to be made in the pool business our team and that's not exactly from one of our investment group outlines the benefits russia stands to gain from north strain. it was more than just gives russia a little too soon to significantly increase its. change the roots of already can shed six employees on the back of almost killing the w t o and the ability to take
