support in parliament as the country moves closer to the epicenter of european debt crisis. nine pm tuesday night here in moscow a warm welcome if you're just joining us this is r.t. and our top story it's an historic day for western europe's energy supply which is now being posted by russian gas directly through a brand new pipeline president to be better of chancellor angela merkel and the partners in the projects have turned the valve and open the receiving end of the north streamlining germany a ten billion dollars scheme is the longest subsidy gas route in the world teetotal bushels of say the new street. it will provide long term military security for europe which have been affected by previous transit rails with the likes of ukraine and belarus it will also feel. a shortfall in gas which is projected to reach some
12:02 pm
one 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 supply 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 suburban and then on to the existing european network once a country is like the united kingdom as world is that the will is here russia's 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 in time energy supply chain. 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
12:03 pm
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 but when speaking about energy supply security we also speak about diversification and russia is one of our most important partners the sources of supply have to be safe and the demand from europe is also guaranteed we need 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 and it took some engineering brilliance just for one example compressor stations which keep the pressure in gas pipelines usually there are several across the route this one just has as one the beginning of the route has been planned since the nineteen nineties construction did start a few years ago a second line will come on stream next year and we've just spoken to some of the heads of the of the project who say that a third line will be discussed by shareholders very shortly because they expect
12:04 pm
demand for gas to grow and to keep growing even through this crisis the euro debt crisis that we're seeing to keep growing through the e.u. in the coming years. now the journalist julian lease says europe's come to rely on russia as its main source of gas because the supplies always been accessible and reliable and there is an overriding view within europe that diversification is important and i miss the search has been look we've heard it all many many years now but we believe that it is generally recognized in europe and i don't see you know some dissenting voice really anywhere in europe but russia is now and always will be a principal provider of gas to the european continent edis simply a fast repository of natural gas resources he's on europe's eastern border it has very stable what and would term gas supply relationships with
12:05 pm
european countries and nobody is looking really to supplant russian gas what europe wants to do is to ensure that gas comes from other places why are the roots in addition to russian gas but not instead of. the russian president has warned militarist rhetoric in the middle east and an attack on iran could lead to a catastrophic war in the region to me to preventive statements came during the joint press conference with his german counterpart russia's been voicing strong words against an attack on iran following statements by israel that a strike is more likely than diplomacy the time watch dogs are to report as well on iran's nuclear activities and provide evidence it says the to rather is built a testing facility and computer models of warheads and iran has dismissed those allegations calling them fabricated let's talk to former cia officer philip giraldi now is on the line washington for the very good evening if we're to believe what is being leaked about this report iran is going to have some serious questions to
12:06 pm
answer isn't it but take it out on again who really benefits from portraying around once again as the bad guy. well i think in this case it's quite clear that it's the united states and israel that are basically trying to turn the heat up on iran and i would be very skeptical about this report that's coming out from the international atomic energy agency because the i.a.e.a. doesn't really have any intelligence capabilities of its own and if it's relying on reports that are coming from other people i would rather suspect those reports are coming from the united states and israel so it's it's you know an endless cycle of trying to prove the unprovable in this case it does iran have a bomb you know does a rama have the intention to get a bomb no one knows that except the iranian leadership so i think this is a this is again this is a a full situation that's being overhyped in an effort to get some political leverage
12:07 pm
out of it cause for that on the eve of this report we customize but to two thousand and three and that report about iraq and moves i suppose the w.n. days that evidence that came forward and yet of course the end of the day will prove to be foles as a former intelligence officer yourself if you explain how that could be such a large mistake and of course it has that's caused a lot of shadows over any further official findings what we're going to see tomorrow it was an it. well that's true and the problem is with the world of intelligence i mean it's sometimes referred to as smoke and mirrors for for reasons that are very clear but the problem is that you you may have a piece of evidence of some kind but that piece of evidence is subject to your interpretation as to what it means when they saw aerial photographs in iraq showing certain things they interpreted those photographs to mean something which which was
12:08 pm
it was not correct so the fact is that it is in the mind of the policymakers and of those who are directing the intelligence organization to make an analysis and determine what they are seeing and very often this analysis is shaped by political considerations and turns out to be incorrect. one country very interested in what's being said to israel this week the israeli president the prime minister not in the foreign ministry threatening military action against iran this kind of metrics know you've been around for years should iran be taking these latest threats more seriously than you think. i think they should be taking it more seriously because it seems to be a more consistent pattern the debate in the israeli cabinet earlier this week was half of the cabinet was in favor of war with iran as long as the united states started the fighting and the other half was in favor with israel starting the fighting and of course if israel starts the fighting the united states will get
12:09 pm
involved so it's basically the same formula i think that the the the israeli government is behaving extremely irrationally because even many senior former officials in the israeli government admitting that iran poses no military threat to israel could have us pugsley ready and president just a couple of months ago that he reiterated once again that his country iran has been cooperating with the u.n. atomic watchdog for many years so it begs the question why is its peaceful nuclear program continuing to raise so much concern among the u.s. and its allies. well i think the answer to that is actually very simple there are many countries in the middle east egypt saudi arabia turkey that have what they describe as breakout capability the ability technical ability to develop a nuclear weapon but it's only iran that seems to be in the focus and this is because of the perception that iran is a threat to israel israel is very capable of using its friends in the media and in
12:10 pm
the u.s. congress to heighten this sense of threat and i as i said before i i believe very firmly that this sense of threat is much overstated always good to get your reform view footage of all the former cia officer so it was a long way from washington thanks for being on oxy. and it's time when israelis threatening around with military action then come for the sin the strength of the jewish state's army is crucial but we have every year fewer and fewer israelis assigning up to the forces choosing instead to defend themselves rather than a country what a state report why the young generation is turning its back on a military service. 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 construction is at an all time low about fifty percent of recently jewish remains. go and serve in the military what about qana spent most of the year and
12:11 pm
a half he was in the army trying to convince use a period 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 after the four of. because of this feeling that it would be a parathyroid if it wouldn't a couple months later i realized that i just couldn't get working longer in what's called the israel defense forces which has nothing to do with difference other than rename 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 in a center for the mentally disabled i have our friends in the army and they say. how do you were when they first came to them in how they are now and it's 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
12:12 pm
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 saw public trust in the military decline state it's about this. this video posted on you tube says a true israeli government evade the truth in other words a true israeli avoids conscription fifteen or twenty years ago an advert like this would have been unthinkable in those days and not serving in the army was something shameful but now young. have role models like actively and i did a couple years former girlfriend israeli model barbara faily who evaded service and gave it legitimacy violations of human rights. remember israel absolutely this respect of international law it's crystal clear there's no question about it studies show that by twenty twenty the number of military age jewish
12:13 pm
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 costly r.t. tel aviv let's take a look at some world news in brief now and in india 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 instant when tens of thousands of hindu pilgrims rushed towards a holy site to offer their prayers some of them tripped and fell while those behind continue to push forward many women and children are reported to be among the dead and injured the deadly stampede sadly a common in india last january more than one hundred people died on route to a strine. syria's opposition reportedly appealed for international presence in the central city of hamas where activists say at least eleven people were killed on monday this comes after damascus accused the u.s. of being involved in the violence and asked the arab league for support on the
