you want to. test yourself and become free to. see what the nature can give you. the u.n. nuclear watchdog reports that iran could be working on atomic weapons raising worries its findings might be a pretext for a preemptive strike against iran. as the financial fall of rome but looms closer the previously political board approved premier berlusconi finally agrees to go but not yet. a lengthy standoff in northern kosovo between serbs and it may go back to kosovo police finally draws you on the tension while the locals have blended their barricades into the scenery as part of everyday life.

one o'clock in the afternoon here in moscow russia's capital this is r t v with us in a major public speech iran's president insisted his country won't retreat one iota from its nuclear program mahmoud ahmadinejad slammed the international nuclear watchdog newly released report suggesting tehran might be closer to developing atomic weapons and its findings came days after israel bluntly considered military action against iran raising fears the report could be a pretext to an attack on the church can has more on the atomic study. right now the u.n. nuclear watchdog found no smoking gun but hyped up fears that you rank continues research on nuclear weapons it doesn't say iran is building a weapon but it says it's collecting all the information it would need to do so and has a lot of technology in the international atomic energy agency claims to have to renie and computer models of the new two were heads which the watched our views as

a possible indication that he ran plans to build an atomic bomb among other evidence as satellite image of a steel container that might be used to secretly cast the high explosives needed to trigger 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 the president if u.s. intelligence presenting false evidence to build a case for the war in iraq raises alarm bells us to the accuracy of the atomic agency's latest report on iran 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 photo photographs in iraq showing certain things but they interpreted those photographs to mean something

which which was it was not correct back in two thousand and three the u.s. was adamant it's evidence on iraq's weapons of mass destruction and kerry said timothy was as solid as could be satellite images of a base where saddam hussein was believed to train al qaeda terrorists evidence of more while the lab spoke by a logical weapons aluminum tubes presented as components of centrifuges to enrich uranium all of the above proved to be a hoax. and yet it was enough to start a war that would last eight plus years and kill more than a hundred thousand civilians israel is considering military action to take out iran's nuclear facilities preemptively the question may now ask is could the u. winds atomic watchdog reforms serve as a justification to start a war with iran security experts say the consequences for such action would be catastrophic we would most likely see new kinds of attacks probably on israel from

hezbollah or other groups we'd see attacks on american troops perhaps in iraq and afghanistan even more than what we've seen so far iran i mean could retaliate in conventional terms that could attack saudi arabian oil fields if you really want to see a crisis in the air in the international economy despite tough rhetoric coming from both israel and the us media agree that washington and tel aviv are most likely to use the report as political leverage to try and isolate iran and possibly to put advantage needs flourishing economic relations with china no one in the international community wants iran to have nuclear weapons but what they fear is aggressed a unilateral action by israel with the backing of the united states that could set the region on fire at a time when it is as on stable as it puts millions of lives could be in danger if policymakers in washington or tel aviv decide to jump the gun and start a war on grounds which are far from being transparent i'm going to check our

reporting from washington our team. political analyst adrian believes iran has never been the danger it is being portrayed us. over the past hundred years iran has invaded and attacked nobody it has however been invaded by britain world war one by britain and the former soviet union in world war two in one thousand forty one to grab its oil when its democratically elected president mohamed. nationalized the iranian oil company which is today british petroleum the cia backed coup got rid of him imposed the shah of percy apocalypse be until nine hundred seventy nine and when in one nine hundred seventy nine iran recovers its own identity immediately once the dam hussein i think we all remember him was in the service of the united states britain and israel with chemical weapons of mass destruction provided by the united states to lead an eight year war of attrition against iran

so if anything one has to ask who is the danger in the region the united states britain france and israel or iran who has invaded and attacked nobody in a century. of course we want to know how close you think a military strike against iran is so far the majority think an attack is imminent as it runs along with american and israeli interests sixteen percent doubt it arguing that no one wants to see a bloodbath in the region ten percent think the whole thing still depends on tehran's willingness to cooperate while slightly fewer think there will be a military strike only if you run actually admits having a nuclear bomb and your voice now in vote on our home page authority dot com. a former cia officer who once headed in the osama bin laden intelligence unit says america's policies are the muslim world create enemies rather than security or some of what michael sure will tell us in the next. washington's enemy is an enemy that

doesn't exist we're fighting and in the sonic enemy that washington believes is out to last because we have elections because we're free because we have women in the workplace is an ending that doesn't exist that didn't exist when bin laden was alive it doesn't exist now america is being attacked because of its foreign policy in the muslim world because of its support for israel because of its support for the saudi police state because of its presence on the arab peninsula and until we accept that until americans can say to each other whether you support aid to israel or not our relationship with israel is causing this war we are not going to be able to defeat this enemy. time's up for the man who's dominated italian politics for the best part of two decades but it's not the mountain of corruption lawsuits and sex crime allegation is it good for prime minister silvio berlusconi it's elisa woeful finances his

majority has evaporated as m.p.'s passed italy's two thousand and ten spending ikea vote to decide who the next budget cuts which will be voted on next week italy is europe's next big worry after greece. it is its borrowing costs are at record high and financial firms are losing faith but claiming berlusconi's political scalp might not be enough to help the country stay afloat. it's very naive to follow the entire political debate. sauna i think the counter is going to have very difficult time and what is required is a say a serious political debate on what kind of measure. one to take to the krises it's not so much about literal scorning italian people in caves should ward and the side not the placement should be rather than being down through parliamentary gimmicks i think that should have stepped down at least one year of google and yes

been able to sort of just because the corruption and bribery in italian parliament is so widespread that these has been possible but honestly i think that's what is required is serious change and serious change just through going back to the people and asking them was there not a bit of scorn in should be. as are already heading east for the international monetary fund's search to shore up with its chief warning that we face a lost decade because of europe's debts christine lagarde following up her fundraising visit to russia with a trip to china where she is expecting to woo beijing's backing for the european bailout economist their say china is ready to give a helping hand but on its own terms. the initial object they were is really hollow china work more closely was i'm half toby probably the. finance

capacity of my math and in the mean time to call for the justifiable position for china same times of the membership. also the possible r. and b. as a denominating currency would be high on the special drawing rights still want to express was through this meeting positive attitude and sincerity china will lend a hand brought across china will also have their own conditions to reciprocate themselves there has been growing concern in china over you know how the money is going to be spent i think the government will have to gave the right answer to the chinese people because because their tax dollars the investment should be targeted more to the valuable asset as to how the industry is instead overriding our land check to buy the bonds which is now rather sticky and there has not been the reasonable or friends that a proper return risk

a free package is being offered either by the individual country that is facing the problem all by the euro zone at the hope with the euro zone and currency crisis cross talk later asks if it's time for brussels to butt out and restore power to national governments here's what's ahead later today. if greece last week were to have voted in a referendum all or go to a cost of it under my left the choice to do greek citizens would have meant greece greek citizens would have got a veto on fact they can only go friends within the euro zone which is almost unheard of that is the good thing of this crisis and i say that you see real clear be moving this that action also doesn't allow these airlines you see the engine to say do you see a losing their jobs or is it good so i do this crisis i don't understand you let me know and i said don't you know that and there's only one girl it's on the streets people we know and you say there's a good thing to these crises. and still ahead

for you to visit our russia's first interplanetary mission in fifteen years. we'll tell you why just probable wants to dig the dirt on the martian moon phobos once a ground control fix of the post launch which. is why india's government believes that these people are no longer poor enough to get the help of millions of them still need. and from our business desk western europe is getting its first gas from russia via the newly built north stream pipeline that bypasses transit countries during about ten minutes from now after significance of this right now. the un head has voiced concerns over the increased attacks on minority serbs and their property in order and possible ban ki-moon to put part of the blame on the decision of the kosovo albanian leadership to extend its control over the serb run area for months serbs in the region have been barricaded in and not only against

the unwanted authorities but also nato peacekeeping forces. explains. perhaps not an obese venue for a wedding but this serbian couple living in northern ca civil decided to get married at the barricades and meet the it's a little awkward getting together here and now we're due for a wedding dance this is our own and this is way to stress and. this sort of barricades in northern kosovo have been standing for several months now for those who built them they're just a part of everyday life not only have the coastal resorts isolated themselves from the k. four troops but also from their unwanted neighbors this is the famous bridge in the which splits the town and the serbian and albanian parts it was called the bridge of friendship and was meant to symbolize that can easily live together but the size of the barricades on the serbian part fails the whole story of how serbs are

unwilling to be part of the self-proclaimed state while the cemented very kids in the middle of it's a have become the town's main gathering spot tensions are still running high just a few kilometers. for every sound off still the case for troops managed to demolish serbs built two hundred pilots there are times when the too close is take place a multi a sleek. alibi and. people like the. serbs say they have no choice but to continue barricading themselves in they believe a ban ians would not hesitate to wipe them off their land forcefully help they believe by k. for troops despite constant cautiously the nato contingent and political pressure from both great because civil servants have become accustomed to living in this cage they have built for themselves. it was hard at first when we run

out of food and council but we serbs are people who used to provide. finding a way out we've built alternative routes through the mountains so now we can again recede supplies we've prevented a humanitarian catastrophe order the orthodox priest of the town's brand new temple sat he has never been busier with all the people flocking in lately to pray for the well being of their families. kosovo has seen different hard times even being occupied by turkey ones and stare east with stupid old heart tests of times and every one and nature of it scenarios this land is the cradle of serb culture and state that. another deadlock in this balkan melting pot continues belgrade is still unwilling to resume negotiations with pristina which could put paid to this standoff but rather politicians clash this sort of family has little trust in

diplomacy their kids may be too young to realize what it's all about and why they are being shown the barriers but there is little doubt what views they will inherit once they grow up let's see russia ski r.t. reporting from cause of. in kosovo. russia's a launched an unmanned probe to one of mars moons but it has hit technical trouble heading it too for those to try and some secrets about our solar system's creation space agency officials say there is still time to sort the missions and it turns out our key is peter oliver can explain it more for us now peter how serious are the launch problems currently well it all started so well launch you know from the baikonur cosmodrome on board is there any well it's the focus group and probe seem to be going well and tail the second stage of the launch vehicle was due to detach now this is when problems with attempted a emergency went around at six ten g.m.t.

that said that there was a problem now what that problem is there's still hoping to be able to establish there are hopes that it is a problem with the software the probe supposed to head off to the mood one of the moons of mars and pick up soil samples if it is a problem with the software this is something that can be corrected from hopefully food is grown will be able to eventually get on its way after a bit of it to late so you can head off to towards the red planet on the moon a focus now on. the heads of the federal space agency though did say that it was a bad day for them last night all the federal space agency of course has seen problems before when it comes to launching missions to our probes to mars in one thousand nine hundred six the last time russia try to launch this thing outside of the orbits of the earth that also resulted in a failure from the launch pad so they were hoping for better things from before it was grown to mission hopefully they will be able to to reconcile any problems put

right any problems that have gone wrong with the with the probe itself and get it back on its way now they are tracking it through several different means satellites of course can pick it up the radar can also detect it in certain areas. but during its orbit around the earth which is so i should say it is now being trapped in an orbit of black around planet earth and they hope to be able to ship it on out towards mars now the russian space agency is calling on amateur astronomers around the world to try and help them out with this of course they've got all the technology they have available to them but every pair of eyes could help so if you are an amateur astronomer and you want to try and track the full. module then you can do that and send your findings to the russian space agency and we'll put a link to their website where you can contact them on our dot com if you want to help them out well here i'll get right on that as soon as i get off air by with the

this week seen the end of the mars simulation mission and also the probe being launched just today russia is really on a big push right now to get to know mars better isn't it well that's right there is actually a lot of important science that was hoped to be carried out by this by this probe out he hoped it's still hope that it will be carried out by this probe the. focus group growing to be in the the russian word for soil was to go to the moon. well pick up soil samples before returning to earth now it also had several other. things that it wanted to carry out during this mission was supposed to monitor the atmosphere of mars from this the satellites all putting around the red planet and also to study the origins of mars we have seen in the recent times that the mars five hundred project finishing the possibility of setting up a human settlement on mars something that's been taken gradually more and more

seriously and if we're going to home there we might as well know exactly what makes up the planets that we wanting to settle on now the other thing that's important that they're wanting to carry out with this is to study the effects of the three year journey it will take to get to the red planet what that will have on the. micro-organisms that's the approach it's carrying so all of this very exciting science very important things for mankind future hopes of exploring the red planet further we'll be hoping that the focus group can get back on track all right thanks a lot peter oliver reporting live for us keeping across space innovations here in russia thanks for joining us. on to india now where they say they have a few poor people but the numbers don't tell the whole story the government there now thinks that less than a dollar a day is enough to get by explains. in india's capital city the sights and sounds of one of the world's fastest growing economies are

everywhere. but intermingled with the new malls and shopping developments slums like this one are still home to about forty million people many of the people who live here however don't even count as being poor thanks to a new definition that has moved india's poverty line thirty per day or think that romney was worth twelve hours six days a week as a top aide to me up to two dollars per day he sends most of his money back to his village to support the wife and three children he left behind the fact that his country doesn't classify him as before is shocking to him but you couldn't thirty two rupees are the benchmark to decide the poverty line is wrong because one cannot do anything with that amount someone like me who makes three thousand rupees per month finds it hard to survive here how can someone who are only thirty two new can survive the people behind the show say that it's simply an adjustment based on the

current economic climate according to them the new definition actually means that there are a lot less people living in poverty in india than twenty years ago when almost half of all indians were living below the poverty line they also claim it has no impact on who can access government welfare services and many people above the poverty line are also wallner aboard i mean they're not it's not as if you know if you're. poor and or from got one rupee more than the poverty line you're rich we have to do a lot for that that's what our strategy is but new data also suggests those living in poverty should get by on the equivalent of two dollars per month for their health and education sparking outrage across india where do you feed your family where do you look after your kids where do you send them for education how is not that anywhere close to the poverty line. thirty thirty rupees per hour what is also not good enough forget about it then a piece a day does no way you can survive into it for now the debate over the poverty line

is meaningless in his life he just wants to be able to support his family but. it's not about him my only wish for my future is that i continue doing this work of mine without any hindrance from anyone or anything as long as the government doesn't interfere continue doing his business can feed and educate my kids focusing and depending on himself preassure either r.t. new delhi india. and in a few minutes discover an incredible russian landscape or arctic and african wildlife lives side by side before then we'll get the business slowdown with kareena. her work and her business of the western europe's getting his first crossing gaslight of a new to go direct north stream pipeline artie's that a person was in germany as the first delivering a right. this new route should bring cheaper gas for homes and businesses in the

european union for the first time there are no transit fees to be paid to countries like ukraine and belarus it also eliminates the threat of supply cuts which we've seen in recent years actually leaving some e.u. states out in the cold now this isn't a you would project there were german shareholders also french dutch as part of the sales from the project and it will guarantee supply to citizens of those countries for the next fifty years or so even through this year's euro day crisis dimona for gas in europe has gone up now this was the pipeline that people said couldn't be built it was too long too expensive some said it was take making impossible for example there's only one compressor station along the route once again you said it was several needed to make it happen this route has been planned since the ninety nine sees a second blow and will come on top next year project leaders have said that the third line troubling capacity of north stream will be discussed very soon by shareholders. russia's largest company gazprom has reported an eighteen percent

leap in profits during the second quarter against monopoly earned almost ten billion dollars during that period beating some forecasts by ten percent the bottom line was given a lift by increased output and stronger prices to liveries to europe jumped twenty percent this year and said for a further proof now that gas network has cost more than seven billion dollars a leading russian energy consultant because i can see with believe it will take a decade to break even. the little guy i'm all for it will be said listen what it will be depends on the price of gas and you'll feel like it because of the present freeze they are related to the biggest prices in european union got of course it will take only as in the west as they must be not only about this money away because you know that from one point illegals problem was the major hole little flows through but from another point to be wrong with the main supply will guest and get strong again if all grown sees that last three would be not empty you're.
