because more. elegant. is struck for less the tropicana photo. and tonight putting the wheels in motion moscow russia is an energy security for western europe as a last north stream pipeline company russian gas straight to germany. the new supply route rules out energy roles the transit countries which are pretty significant european consumers of russian gas. without the details in just a few moments. also had moscow describes as an appropriate the publication of the un atomic watchdog report states or rather has been pursuing nuclear weapons it comes as russian president dmitry medvedev issues another stern warning against an israeli attack. and italy's president says the country's prime minister will resign
2:01 pm
after the approval of new budget law as the country has proceeded to be at the center of the european debt crisis. close eleven pm tuesday night here in moscow this is r.t. my name is kevin irwin and first it's in a story today for western europe's energy supply which is now being bolstered by russian gas directly for a brand new pipeline president dmitri medvedev chancellor angela merkel and their partners in a project to turn the valves open the receiving end of the north streamline in germany the ten billion dollars scheme is the longest subsidy castro to the world now. bushels at the scene of an old stream which 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 feel as. shortfall in gas which is
2:02 pm
projected to reach some 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 or the lifetime of this current project there are plans to send this gas on suburban and then also the existing european network on the countries like the united kingdom as well as a witness 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 with hounds 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. 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
2:03 pm
belarus with gas going direct for the first time from russia to the e.u. german shores like le merkel is optimistic about the future relations between russia and the european union when speaking about energy supply security we also speak about diversification and russia is one of our most important partners this 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 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 it's been planned since the ninety's ninety's construction to 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
2:04 pm
demand for gas to grow and to keep growing even through this crisis the euro big crisis that we're seeing to keep growing through the e.u. in the coming years. and the jealously elise has europe's come to rely on russia as its main source of gas supply because the supply has always been accessible and reliable and there is an overriding view within europe that diversification is important so an undersea search of spain that we've heard echoed in all many many years now but where they lacked a nice generally recognized mood in europe and i don't think most of the sensing voiced really anywhere in europe that russia is now and always will be a principal provider of gas to the european continent eighty's and simply a vast repository of natural gas resources eighty's on europe's eastern border it has very stable one term gas supply relationships with
2:05 pm
european countries and nobody's looking really to supplant russian gas what europe wants to do is to ensure that gas comes from other places like are the routes in addition to russian gas but not instead of it. and the chairman of the austrian project former german chancellor gerhard schroeder told us that r t why the pipeline so important for the russia europe relationship it's a great preview of the interview that's coming up in just over an hour's time. was a guild politician caught in the european union needs russia geo political islam but the reverse is also true it's not a question of time has come to start cooperating and start looking back imo you look at the differences on issues in a situation where you can ship gas to china. and europe. has to make a good. government is evidently pro european with europe cannot keep pushing russia away it hurts motion's pride it was a few we have to keep in mind all gushy has the alternative leadership you get
2:06 pm
easier for with europe has no such alternative europe's geo political position will only be approved or if it manages to enter a tightly guarded ship with russia and at the same time granny recession. well that would be a sound strategy would be well into the future for us the rest is years worth of illegal. process called the release of the un's atomic watchdog report on iran that is inappropriate he says that the new findings suggest iran has been working on developing nuclear weapons and has credible evidence to prove it ready a president who criticize the report and said to run and won't stop its peaceful nuclear development now this comes as the russian president warned that motorists rhetoric in the middle east could lead to a catastrophic war in the region russia's be voicing strong words against any attack on iran following statements by israel that a strike is more likely than diplomacy u.s. foreign policy expert barbara slaven from atlantic council discussion group says
2:07 pm
action against the rambler the mine diplomatic efforts. are going through the israelis are very very worried about iran and what iran would do but i think they also understand that the consequences of a strike could actually be worse for israel then. allowing iran to proceed on this this path hezbollah has forty thousand rockets that it could unleash some of them can reach tel aviv hamas might attack israel would be even more isolated in the region of course it's very isolated already because of developments in the arab spring i don't think the united states would be pleased the french have said they don't want this and in the strength of the campaign against iran is building an international consensus against iran having nuclear weapons and that would be shattered by by a military strike at this time at a time when israel's threatening iran with military action confidence of the strength of the jew states army is crucial but every year more and more israelis is seeking ways to try to avoid conscription choosing to defend themselves rather than
2:08 pm
a country whose policy is next reports on why the young generation is turning its back on military service. for years it's been the cornerstone of the country's security but these days there's a real risk these radio defense forces could be left defenseless conscription is at an all time low about fifty percent of prison. jewish males who. serve in the middle or what about qana spent most of the year and a half it was in the army trying to convince his superiors to release him on medical grounds he eventually did it only after he wasted months searching around he says doing nothing while in uniform after the four of. because of this feeling that there would be. if i wouldn't a couple months later i realized that i just couldn't take part in longer in what's called the israel defense forces which has nothing to do with difference other than the name and a growing number of israelis agree with him it or friedman made sure she scored low
2:09 pm
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 our friends in the army and they saw. how they 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 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 saw public trust in the military decline the state . has. this video posted on you tube says a true israeli doesn't invade the truth in other words a true israeli avoids conscription fifteen or twenty years ago an average like this
2:10 pm
would have been unthinkable in those days and not serving in the army was something shameful but now young. have role models like active united a couple years former girlfriend israeli model barbara faily who evaded service and gave it to misty relations of human rights. by israel's absolute disrespect of international law it's crystal clear there's no question rory studies show that by twenty twenty the number of military age jewish israelis who will not be serving will be the highest ever a 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 politically r.t. tel aviv developing news story for you tonight the italian prime minister says he will resign after parliament passes economic reforms required by the e.u. that could take place as early as next week silvio berlusconi earlier won
2:11 pm
a crucial budget vote but then lost his majority support after a piece debated public finances experts warn the political turmoil generally could tip its a lead towards even greater instability the country is moving closer to the center of europe's financial crisis with debts piling up with borrowing costs continue to rock it is well let's talk about this to appear to the contemporary a tally of history at the university of reading bill grotty is probably agree to code the studio in london for us live very good to see you want to see tonight thanks for taking time to be with us and give us your thoughts but very good evening love you see i just hope they get of you is there on this later but the news we got tonight so that the prime minister therefore is often heard it is in his resignation do you think as an italian yourself it will be enough to solve your country's problems. no i definitely think that's not enough i think that it's very naive to for political to be just. the sauna i think the counter is going to
2:12 pm
a very difficult time and what is required is a set a serious political debate on what kind of measure. one to take to tackle the crisis it's not so much about risk or any arms and we all know it's a colorful colorful character etc but is this really the right time. to go is this an italian power tug of war more than an actual look for a decent replacement capable of steering italy out of this awful crisis that appears to be facing well i think that actually people in caves should watch and decide what their replacements should be rather than. being done through parliamentary gimmicks i think that should have stepped down at least one year ago or and yes been able to survive just because the corruption and bribery in parliament so widespread that these has been possible but honestly i think that's
2:13 pm
what is required is serious change and serious change can come just through going back to people and asking them what's the alternative to build a new school and he should be i want to ask you as well about this bit of news we have to tell you government borrowing rate has soared up to that record six point seven four percent for a while today. for the economy they say don't say that if it gets to its real trouble ahead. yes that's then generous but it's truly actually fall into my not necessarily be negative way to deal with the tries it's in italy that there is very high but it's also true that the kind of situation we are in with the years and interest rates are higher in the end there is the result of speculation if you look at the tally and their last year was four point six just ahead of the german there but far below the france french there which was seventy
2:14 pm
seven point one percent the spanish deficit which was nine percent so i think that actually there is something quite strange going on in the financial markets and there isn't necessarily reflect the reality i think clearly an economy and if we focus a little greece we see the government there drafting those are very unpopular draconian austerity measures to try to get the next bit of eurozone. again as yourself what do you think your country should do do you think because of the problems you're facing italy should ask the e.u. for financial help or what would be the likely price if it did. i think there should be renegotiated i think that's really an economy is not in such a situation where actually austerity measures can be in pause on ordinary people we have about two point two young people who are aged between fifteen and thirty who
2:15 pm
are out of work and out of any sort of training be the first priority should be to get those people are again into the job markets to create drugs and create groff that's the priority for an economy which has been ailing actually for advocates the rate of growth of evil in the last decade was always the law and two percent that's very concerning and as not so much to do with the recent financial crisis which is led by banks in france and in france. italy is the third largest economy of course in the eurozone it's a huge player what would be the likely consequences of the italian crisis no if it continues to escalate for the rest of the block yeah as i was saying the real concern bear is for is for sure was french and german bends towards a substantial share of the their i think that if the taliban economy collapses
2:16 pm
there will be a bomb in effect which will go to the core of the euro financial markets and of the. economy is actually i think that's. as i was saying the first priority should be to get italian economy i guess into grew all creating demand by creating jobs and not focusing just on financial issues which are not a necessity reflecting the situation in the real state of affairs. it's a nice wish list but do you think it could be done. i think that's a renegotiating that there might be down i mean if there is as you were saying an important economy no one can really ignore it or refuse to do trade we need it so if the depth is sun sustainable we should go back to those people who hold that there then say we cannot afford to pay there we should
2:17 pm
actually renegotiate these and find a way that out of the prize is there as argentina did in two thousand and one as other countries ecuador and more recently icelandair done that for me the real weight of the. peerage decadron contemporary italian history at the university of reading we like to get the plug in fear they're joining us live from london thanks ever so much for your views on r.t. and think you. mean well in greece and talked about it just to get ministers there of offer their resignation to pave the way for a new government it comes as the country's leaders struggle to agree on a new prime minister is talks over unity coalition and for the second day george perpetrator will stand his replacement's been announced the interim government will lead the country until elections they're expected to be held in february chris is under pressure to ratify that one hundred thirty billion euro emergency rescue package an end its political crisis has put the entire eurozone in jeopardy our correspondent sara firth has been asking greeks for their take on the situation and
2:18 pm
the prospects for their impact on country as they see it. i think your anything quite as well as all graces 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. which is really be me have a sense that it's so much of this year i quite fit the find out what the people of greece have to say about it all. the camera and the money. to. let the people of take it away alone we are angry well of. all the people who won't greeks are pulling out saying. everything is made money board and actually it's like they're trying to frighten us or something like that hi my name's. needy and i've been living in greece for ten
