a new crisis leader r.t. asked what greeks themselves think that now three years ago that italy is next of a national firing line where debts are piling up amid record parts. and in russia the markets have continued their winning streak taking from the monday with the r.t.s. getting about one percent cause more in business in about twenty minutes. to stop for seven pm here in the russian capital you're watching t.v. it was a historic day for western europe's energy supply which is now being bolstered by russian gas directly through a brand new pipeline president dmitri medvedev a child of arco and their partners in a project of the valve that's open the receiving end of the nord stream live in germany a ten a billion dollar project is the longest subsidy grassroot in the world parties dial

goetia was at the scene of the nord stream launch. it will provide long term energy security for europe which had been affected by previous transit rails with the likes of ukraine and belarus it will also fill a shortfall in gas which is projected to reach some hundred million homes by twenty thirty now this is a europe wide project why european leaders are here is because french dutch german companies energy firms have taken stakes in the north stream pipeline that will guarantee supplied to homes in those countries for the next fifty years at least the last time of this current project there are plans to send this gas on to berlin and then also the existing european network and to countries like the united kingdom as well as the witness here in russia is always going to great lengths to fulfill its energy obligations because it's our highest priority we will continue to supply our european partners without interruption in the future in order to attract more investment for the project i'm convinced that such involvement will

minimize risks along the entire energy supply chain with russian you refused me you know this should also provide cheaper gas for homes in europe with no transit fees to be paid for the likes of ukraine and belarus with gas going direct for the first time from russia to the e.u. german chancellor angela merkel is optimistic about the future relations between russia and the european union let's have a listen to what she had to say. about that when speaking about energy supply security also speak about diversification and russia is one of our most important partners this courses of supply have to be safe and the demand from europe is also going to eat russian gas for the economic development of our continent and this means that we will be closely linked to each other for decades to come. it is the longest subsidy pipeline the gas pipeline in the world it's the engineering briley is just one example compressor stations which keep the pressure in gas pipelines usually there are several across the route this one just has has one the beginning

of the route it's been planned since the ninety nineties construction to its. a few years ago a second line. on stream next year we've just spoken to some of the heads of the project who say they. will be discussed by shareholders very shortly because they expected more for gas to grow and to keep growing even through this crisis the euro crisis that we're seeing to keep growing through the e.u. in the coming years powerline gas expert in drover alliance says that the new pipeline is a guarantee that european consumers will not have to relive the nightmare of energy . i think there was a great need for this project as several incidents of shown over the last three four five six years we need as much overspoke ation as we can of energy in europe and this project helps us to reach that and i think the successful implementation of the project shows of what has always been quite clear is that critical standpoints arguments didn't have much basis in reality they were driven by some

kind of of prejudice the contribution of course in itself will be positive because it reduces the clout of transit countries to some extent which means that they can take a smaller cut from the overall price so in this sense it's positive and consumers are not only preoccupied about price they're also worried about. the security of supply and nord stream again is one contribution to making everybody feel a bit more relaxed about security of supply. well the chairman of the nord stream project former german chancellor gerhard schroeder tells r t why the pipeline is important for the russia europe relationship and here's a brief preview of our interview coming up in just over an hour's time. and when the european union meets russia geopolitical the reverse is also true it's not a question of the time has come to start cooperating and start looking back i'm

building a logical differences in a situation where we could ship gas to china and all of asia and europe i hope russia never has to make a choice of the russian government is evidently pro european with europe cannot keep pushing gusher away it hurts russians pride we have to keep in mind russia has the alternative should in italy europe has no such alternative europe's geopolitical position. just to enter a tight partnership with russia and at the same time a new recession. or that would be a sound strategy into the future was the rest of us the worst about when. the russian president has warned that militarists rhetoric in the middle east and that's happened in iran it could lead to a catastrophic war in the region and we should have better statements came during a joint press conference with his german counterpart russia has been voicing a strong words against an attack on iran following statements by israel that

a strike is more likely than diplomacy but the u.n. atomic watchdog is about to report on iran's nuclear activities and provide evidence that tehran has built a testing facility at the puter of models of warheads iran has dismissed all our patients calling them fabricated foreign affairs analysts referred hey daria's says the i.a.e.a. report is designed to put pressure on iran in order to implement sanctions against it. first of all we have to be clear that there is a lot of obfuscation and speaking. to the content and consequences of this. is really playing up this. basis or foundation but iran has really moving towards weaponization of nuclear program therefore more sanctions and possibly confrontation with iran but if you look at the statements by former i harbored. mr hanan i think. cannot come up with any kind of definitive evidence or

any kind of smoking gun if you prove consequential in all of your own has really been. any kind of musician program i think we should look at the new report in light of efforts to impose new sanctions or further sanctions against iran and. a more confrontational approach i think that's a bigger you have to look at beyond a year or so. well as israel flexes its political muscle over iran the jewish state is hit by a recruitment crisis a report later this hour young israelis are increasingly unwilling to sign a proprietary service i think. i first agreed ministers of all for the resignation to pave the way for a new government this comes as the country's leaders struggle to agree on a new prime minister as talks over a unity coalition and their second day george papandreou will stand down as prime

minister once his replacement is announced the interim government will leave the country until elections expected to be held in february greece is under pressure to ratify a one hundred thirty billion euro emergency rescue package and so on its political crisis that's the entire euro zone in jeopardy our correspondents are first been asking greeks for their take on the situation and the prospects for their adult country. i think your anything quite says rumbles long greece is 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 an epicenter it's so much of this year i quite if the find out what the people of greece have to say about it all. so the camera and the mike. let the people of greece take it away alone we are. well.

all the people. are saying. everything is red morning 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 the european snow but poles is dead cannot be paid back. why do they lend this money plus don't they want the money but the thing with the situation right now it is that we don't feel real secure about anything but our salaries our health and you know in my age thinking

about the children going to make end of the season so i have to do it from them for now it's really sad because. everybody here things that you know that things could be better there are something more than the there's something more. there are great because there is a lot of unemployment in greece now. that the people in greece are a very skeptical about the euro i think ok there it's better we are in the euro. of course definitely but there are so some serious trouble. 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 don't have a job i 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 greece is a european country and greece and europe is a great work. i hope something can be done so we can save this beautiful country and be able to pass it on to our grandchildren and their children after that. so the like and have a chance to have a question now is whether anyone's going to be ready to listen to what the decisions are going to keep being made behind closed. meanwhile in italy lawmakers have started debating public finances ahead of a crucial budget for this comes after the italian prime minister's main coalition partner urged silvio berlusconi to step down well experts now for the country is on its way to becoming the next victim of europe's financial crisis with debts piling up as boring costs continue to rocket current affairs columnist francesco c.

she says the turmoil unable political and economic. financially intelli was not. that bad a situation is in italy has not war syndrome magically in the past months in fact for instance in greek banks are already a lot of money to francs and german banks italian exposure to greece was very limited however markets didn't trust the italian governments this is the crucial issue and when the markets started not to trust the government italian government didn't come up with a real strong measures. we will see what will come out with these political crises i think clearly tilly's a little bit different then from greece i mean the situation in italy is more a political crisis then never a national crisis and everything you know way he just on the opposition claims that he will surely be defeated he claims he will not be defeated in

security countries a huge day in italy needs a prime minister who can gauge the confidence of the markets whom the markets trust to start the recovery and the change necessary for the chile to cope with the with the present crisis. coming up in the program for you if you haven't yet considered it's up to russia's caucasus news soon by its report of how the region is that will track the thousands of tourist dollars he's strong for your campaign. also we meet one of the members of the seventeen month long march five hundred experiment the project is how they interact with us and on his life. but it's hard when israel is threatening iran with military action confidence in the strength of the jewish state's army is crucial but with every year fewer and fewer israelis are signing up to the armed forces choosing instead to defend themselves rather than

their country are spotlessly reports of why the young generation is turning its back on military service. for years it's been a 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 know what fifty percent of the. jewish males who. served in the military twenty four qana spent most of the year and a half he was in the army trying to convince his superiors to release him on medical grounds they eventually did but only after he'd wasted months searching around he says doing nothing while in uniform if you get drafted for a. because of this feeling that i would be a parasite if i wouldn't and a couple months later i realized that i just didn't pay parking longer in what's called the israel defense forces which has nothing to do with the fence other than by name and a growing number of israelis agree with him later friedman made sure she scored low

on her army in france 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 a lot of friends in the army and they 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 think 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 fifty percent of potential draftees who don't serve because of religious reasons and a recent series of scandals also saw public trust in the military decline the state is about to spend so much of this video posted on you tube says a true israeli doesn't even read the truth in other words a true israeli avoids conscription fifteen or twenty years ago and added 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 not actively in order to copy a former girlfriend israeli model bar refaeli who evaded service and gave it just a must see relations of human rights in all regard by israel absolutely this respect of international law it's crystal clear there's no question about it studies show that by twenty twenty and number of military age jewish israelis who will not be serving will be the highest ever the growing trend has the military worried it won't have the troops it needs especially now as the region heats up and the army needs all the soldiers it can get. r.t. tel aviv. more world news for you this hour and we begin in india where at least twenty people have been killed and dozens injured after a stampede broke out during a religious ceremony in the north of the country the incident happened when tens of thousands of hindu pilgrims rushed towards
