it will be split into a true wins if it's only played sure it's a good i would. never dream the eternal. glory is in our new the world's longest subsidy pipelines such as start pumping the russian gas to warm up western europe. russian president dmitry medvedev is ready to flick the switch on in germany were details straight ahead for you. rushing to secure a pass for greece politicians scramble to find a viable way of sharing power and to bring the country back to its feet marty asks what the greeks themselves think. of the seasonal trends to attack iran the young israelis are increasingly say no to the uniform claiming they don't want to join the army to take part in the country's conference.

just after two pm here in the russian capital this is r.t. now our top story western europeans can rest easier this winter with an uninterrupted flow of russian gas to keep them warm while in about an hour president medvedev and his european partners will flick the switch in germany and start the north stream pipeline the rectally pumping fuel under the baltic sea aren't easy to go to is in germany for us so the politicians are gathered in berlin have long been a busy assoc about this project was a gas be enough though for european households and businesses. well it looks like indeed it will be enough we're talking about twelve more than twelve hundred kilometers of pipeline stretching from russia all the way to germany capable of

pumping up to fifty five billion cubic meters of russian gas to european customers a year when it will become fully operational that is to happen at the end of next year however at this point we are already looking at around more than twenty seven billion cubic meters of gas coming into europe from russia and that of course is going to happen without intermediary stations that of course is going to happen without interruptions and also you have to you have to make a note of the fact that it's also not going to come with any extra costs for european taxpayers the cost to the. project off the nordstrom project is is a little over seven billion euros now twenty six of that six percent of that is coming from the consortium nordstrom consortium shareholders the rest is being financed by international banks so customers in europe will be able to get russian gas without interruptions at no extra cost of course politicians and i think it's

fair to say customers in you are are rather excited about this and the excitement was also shared today by russian president who is in germany as we have mentioned earlier and who will inflict that switch on the gas pipeline just in just a short hour or so that's right and right now we're at hour or so away from seeing the first fuel delivered but it has been a long time making hasn't. absolutely you know we are only two two we have to go back to all the way to two thousand and five when the project was just begun of course there have been numerous criticism from some politicians and economists and some environmentalist who are saying that this is not safe that this is going to cost extra money but you know over the last six years of construction has been proven and those worries were indeed a futile absolutely because the pipeline is indeed safe even though it goes along the bottom of the baltic sea it's absolutely presents no danger to the environment a lot of effort has been put into that it's also as we have mentioned earlier it

also comes at no extra cost and it's not going to make europe more dependent on russian gas as some have said in fact is going to go a long way towards making europe more energy sufficient and it's actually going to increase european and european energy security and of course once full at the regional and that is not too long from now once the liberation of nordstrom pipeline will of course i make a lot of people werman happy in europe all right well thanks very much for that update we're certainly looking forward to the flick of the switch if you're going to show up every morning for us mark thanks. greek leaders are struggling to decide who should become of the new prime minister to lead across his coalition george martin three years agreed to go but is locked in a rally with the opposition leader over who should replace him oh athens is under enormous pressure to wrap fast and push through cuts before it can get more emergency cash for greece how they assess the best three.

as the eurozone crisis rumbles on greece is once again 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. which is really give me up with the answer it's so much of this year i quite fit the find out what the people of greece have to say about it all. so he says the camera and the money. to. let the people of take it away alone we are angry well. 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 he. needed 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 so i want to. if all over europe you have snow but told his dead cannot be paid back. why do they lend this money don't they want the money but the thing with the situation right now and is that we don't feel real secure about anything but our salaries our health and you know in my age thinking about the tinder i'm going to make and the seasons i have to do from then from now it's really sad because. everybody here things that you know that things could be better there's something more than the there's something more very very angry because there is a lot of unemployment in greece now. that the people in greece on a very skeptical about euro i think. it's better we are in the euro.

of course definitely but there are some serious problems for because. they lost their jobs you don't know what. you can do you can plan your life i'm twenty years old and i don't have a job. i have to leave 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 goose is a european country in greece and euro is a good word a greek word 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 he'd be free system that's up to the mike and have a chance to have say the question now is whether anyone's going to be ready to

listen to them when the decisions against you keep being made the hiding place those. things in the square and. all that's in 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 while he's resolute that he's the one to get vital cuts through but even his former allies are not so sure well for more i'm joined by columnist french escort c h e right now well unfortunately we may have lost the connection there but we will try to bring more insight with him. all right well now let's move on for activists protesting against america's plans to use a new south korean base for the u.s. navy have been arrested at the site opposition to the base is mainly from locals who fear it could destabilize south korea's relations with china as well as damaging the environment activists and matthew hoey who's a near the base says the voices of discontent are growing on her the government's

not playing fair. this was a small quiet chorus and demonstration they went to the conference to deliver a message with a liberal statement about their concerns and the need what if we saw a moment we are seeing and bits that are this moment there's far gravity's being held at the same with people at least we have seen where they're currently being detained this is going to be one of the largest military bases in the world naval bases we can pass if you have these bases twenty large destroyers aircraft carriers some subs and they will be outfitted each just list the missile defense system where harry less than three hundred miles away from the chinese mainland is a very attractive location for the united states military and usually there was a boat of just eighty seven people. and section at the base protested they held another boat ninety four percent of the residents said they didn't want the base government said that they weren't going to abide by that results about recently of course the interim government guaranteed he demanded a construction be stopped and military said no inviting cried years. when they've

been incarcerated the mayor is currently in prison but i fear is that the villagers and promptly are just about every legal option or fighting a very sound rational nonviolent resistance government simply isn't listening and enough playing fair. well going back to our previous story where italy is facing mounting debt them as well as rumors of a prime minister berlusconi a losing support event from his allies let's get more insight now from this french ascot's leaky mr sushi that is going to he does face up finance but he denies rumors of his impending resignation does he have what it takes to avoid the kind of political mess that we're seeing in athens. very hard i mean at the end of the day we will see what will come out of. these political crises i think for italy is a little bit different from greece i mean this situation in italy is more a political crisis there never financial crises. everything in

a way he gets on if now he can win this confidence fall to where you feel losers and we'll see we'll see but how realistic to think is it will be forced to go and what happens if you don't. well it's very very hard to say this moment because the opposition claims that he will surely be defeated he claims he will not be defeated there are. enormous amount of rumors he was supposed to be defeated in these conference calls many times however. he won in the past and the my again today but everything is uncertain effect is to gold then the real. so who will succeed him and who will be managed to get the confidence of the markets because this is the crucial issue

italy needs a prime minister who king gave me confidence of the markets who the markets are trust to start to do recovery and change necessary for italy to call with the president is it is it's all ready for such a big change though and what happens if italy feels like the rest of the eurozone got it i mean it is too big to be bailed out isn't it. yes. yes this is it is a huge security country's a huge debt in theory there are talking to economists to find there are measures there are ways in which each only can cut off the. coming we should say have to take place and real. confidence

must be otherwise that is going a little bit taking a step back a little bit and italy is not greece i mean compared to the massive production italy has the exports and of course the massive tourism industry going back how does a country such as italy so big economically get into such a mess in the first place. this is the big question financially italy was not. that bad a situation is in italy has not watched in dramatically in the past months in fact of free since in greek banks are already a lot of money to frame and german backed italian exposure to greece was very limited however the markets didn't trust the italian governments this is the crucial issue. when the markets started not to trust the government. and government didn't come up with. real strong measures to boost it didn't.

think the connection was good there. i was sorry we have such a bad connection with you but thank you very much for your cards there are certain french lescott see. while our military action against iran could spark a fully fledged war and start a task a feat for the middle east that's a warning from president medvedev who commented on the israeli presidents have just learned that a military strike on iran is more likely than the promise it. via instant the deliberate words of some countries like israel's about their readiness to strike iran or any other country in the middle east is exceptionally dangerous rhetoric we can see that the situation in the middle east is that fever pitch we understand that the middle east peace process is locked in stalemate and that's despite the fact that all sides in the conflict are really trying to find a solution and if noun in this situation someone starts threatening anyone with

military action that could trigger very grave problems looking escalate into a conflict that's why i think we need to take a breath relax and continue constructive dialogue on all middle eastern problems including iran's nuclear issues and not threaten any kind of show of force that could lead to a fully fledged war which would result in a catastrophe for the middle east which of course a lawyer for the u.n. a nuclear watchdog is about report on iran's nuclear activities where it's thought it will reveal comparable size of an atomic warhead as well as other weapons related work israel's one ally the u.s. says it will focus on diplomacy but is ready to keep all options open political analysts iran 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 your panel has done because japan has taken it all the way out to actually building a nuclear weapon and 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 have a lot of problems with that so we're not in the 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 and it look easy runs a much bigger country the terrain 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.

these are also 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 invasion of lebanon in two thousand and six and gaza three years ago policy of reports of the israeli conflicts that are pulling its conscripts. for years it's been the cornerstone of the country's security but these days there's a real risk the israeli defense forces could be left defenseless conscription is at an all time you know what fifty percent of rizzoli jewish males. don't serve in the military twenty bikaner spent most of the year and a half he was in the army trying to convince his superiors to lease him on medical grounds they eventually did but only after he'd wasted months searching around he says doing nothing molly uniform it would be a draft for a. because of this feeling that there would be parathyroid if they wouldn't and

a couple of months later i realized that i just been reporting longer in what's called the israel defense forces which has nothing to do with defense other than winning and a growing number of israelis agreed with him later 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 in a center for the mentally disabled i have our friends in the army and they saw. how do you were when they first came to them in how they are now and it's a lot of brainwashing actually and they just keep you down from your identity and make you basically a soldier ten years ago they refused 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 so public trust in the military decline the state it's about to stand. up to 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 young's. those have role models like actually in order to form a go for it israeli model bar refaeli who evaded service and gave it a try to see relations of human rights. regard by israel absolute disrespect of international law it's crystal clear there's no question about that study showed that by twenty twenty the number of military age 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. television. oh had to r.t.

reporting that russia is set to start pumping gas to europe through the newly built nord stream pipeline and we are across the launch for you throughout the day with poor explains how the world's longest other water gas leak came to fruition. russia's been selling gas to europe for half a century now the first pipeline running to austria completed in one thousand nine hundred eighty seven trading so why the long list of up 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 and much of the energy infrastructure became the property of countries bordering russia with their own political meccano big ambitions this resulted in a couple of so-called gas wars with ukraine and the old bust up with bella ruse which is where north stream comes in the pipeline runs beneath a bull tick linking russia directly to germany it's the longest subsidy pipeline in the world over twelve hundred kilometers and it bypasses all transit countries at

nine billion euros it's undoubtedly expensive but a pipeline last for up to fifty years so there's plenty of time 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 but after thirteen years of planning and two years of construction the first delivery is about to be made we pool business our team at asia minister said lines why they are strong pipeline is destined to be a success. whether or not it's going to be for the project was developed in under a favorable market conditions and had no problems in attracting six point four billion euros of investments and it did not involve any financial help from either russia or from any european countries produce budget in total reach seven point four billion euros and building companies from russia and eleven you countries in this respect we think the north stream has already proven to have been highly economically efficient. you. look at the markets oil is trading at the highest
