these are the images the world has been seeing from the streets of canada. operations room. is on our t.v. you wonder if there was reports that iran could be working on atomic weapons raising worries its findings might be a pretext for a preemptive strike against iran. and as the financial fall of rome weakens closer the previously politically bulletproof premier berlusconi finally agrees to go well it's not yet. a lengthy sound off and more than possible between serbs and nato about possible police finally draws the un attention the locals lead their barricades into the scenery part of everyday life.

t.p.m. here in the russian capital this is our top story and a major public speech iran's president insisted his country won't retreat one iota from its nuclear program mahmoud ahmadinejad's lambie international nuclear watchdog newly released report suggesting the terror around might be close to developing atomic weapons let's findings came days after israel bluntly considered military action against iran raising fears the report could be a pretext to an attack artie's going to check out has more of the atomic study. now the u.n. nuclear watchdog found no smoking gun but hyped up fears that iran continues research on nuclear weapons it doesn't say iran is building a weapon but it says it's collecting all the information if it needs it can sell and has a lot of technology and the international atomic energy agency claims to have iranian computer models of nuclear warheads which the watchdog uses

a possible indication that you 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 a new clue weapon 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 it you ran 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 footage photographs in iraq showing certain things but he interpreted those photographs to mean something which which was it was not correct back in two thousand and three the u.s.

was adamant its evidence on iraq's weapons of mass destruction in terrorist activity was as solid as could be satellite images of a base where saddam hussein was believed to train al qaida terrorists evidence of more labs for biological weapons illumine him to present it 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 un's atomic watchdog reformed 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 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 this spike tough rhetoric coming from both israel and the u.s. many 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 advantages flourishing economic relations with china no one in the international community wants iran to have nuclear weapons for what they hear is address the unilateral action by israel with the backing of the united states that could set that we gen on fire at a time when it is on stable as it gets millions of lives could be in danger if policymakers in washington or tel aviv discipled jump the gun and start a war on grounds which are far from being transparent i'm going to check our

reporting from washington r.t. . political analyst adrian saul who she believes iran has never been the danger it's being portrayed. 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 want to grab it soil when it's democratically elected president mohamed must be nationalized the iranian oil. company which is a british petroleum a cia backed coup got rid of him imposed the shah of personal popularity until one nine hundred seventy nine and when the one nine hundred seventy nine iran recovers its own identity immediately once saddam 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 anyone 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. well we want to know how close you think a military strike against iran now it says so far the majority thinks some attack is imminent as it runs along with american and israeli interest sixty percent doubt it arguing that no one wants to see a bloodbath in the region ten percent think of one thing still depends on terror as willingness to cooperate while slightly fewer think there will be a military strike only if iran actually admits having a nuclear bomb will do out your voice our thoughts on the home page of our t.v. dot com. a former cia officer who was head of the a solid lot intelligence unit says america's policies on the muslim world create enemies rather than security so here's some of what michael sure will tell us later at this hour. washington's enemy is an enemy that doesn't exist we're fighting and make enemy that washington believes is out to kill us because we have an election

because we're free because we have women to work states it's an enemy that doesn't exist and exist when bin laden was alive it doesn't exist now america is being attacked because of its foreign policy in the 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 your opponents and until we accept there 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 gone native italian politics for the best part of two decades but it's not a mountain of corruption a lawsuit and sex crime allegations that did it for prime minister silvio berlusconi it's always a war for finances all his majority of operated as m.p.'s pass italy's two thousand and ten spending a key vote to decide the next budget cuts which will be voted on next week italy is

europe's big financial worry it's already cost. also cross the seven percent mark a level that portugal ireland and greece in need of bailing out of claiming berlusconi's political scalp might not be enough to help the country stay afloat. it's very naive to for political the. sauna i think the counter is going to have very difficult time and what is required is a set of serious political debate on what kind of measure it's one to take to the krises it's not so much about. people in caves should decide what their replacements should be rather than the being done through parliamentary gimmicks i think that should have stepped down at least one year ago or and yes even able to survive just because record option in the bribery in parliament is so widespread

that these as been possible but honestly i think that's what is required is serious change and serious change can come just through going back to the people and asking them was there not a bit of scorn in should be. allies are already looking east for the international monetary fund search to shore up cash with its chief warning we face quote a lost decade because of europe's debt christine legarde swallowing up her fund raising visit to russia with a trip to china where she's expected to beijing's backing for the european bailout well economists there say china is ready to give a helping hand but on its own terms. the initial object there is really how china can work more closely words on math told the. finance capacity of my math and in the meantime to all for the justifiable position for china both in terms of the membership and also the possible r. and b.

as a denominating currency but behind the special drawing rights still wanted to express was through this meeting positive attitude and sincerity china will lend a hand but of course china will also have their own conditions to reciprocate themselves but there has been growing concern in china over you know how the money is going to be spent i think the government the will have to gave the right answer to the chinese people because because it's their tax dollars the investment should be targeted more to the valuable assets to help the industries as they're writing a bland check to buy the bonds which is now rather sticky and there has not been the reasonable or for that a proper return or risk of free package as being all for either by the individual country that is facing the problem oh by the eurozone at the hope. over the years

and currency crisis crossed operator ask if it's time for brussels to butt out and restore power to national governments here's what's ahead next hour. if greece last week good to have voted on earth around the world are going to have lost it and i left the choice to deplete citizens that would have meant or to greece greek citizens would have got a veto on frank on economic governance within the eurozone which is almost unheard of that is the good thing of this crisis and i say that you see we are clearly moving this that i can also be reasonable about these are the i.c.c. vientiane to say they received losing their jobs as it could so i to this crisis. we know it's a done deal yet and there's only just one rides on the streets people will know and you say there's a good thing to these crises. and still ahead for you this hour russia's first interplanetary mission in fifteen years a look tell you why this probe wants to dig dirt on the marshes we want to focus

once ground control biggs's post modern. why india's government believes these people are no longer poor enough to get the help millions of them still need plus. from a business that's western europe is getting its first gas from russia via the newly built nord stream pipeline that bypasses transit countries during me about ten times from now or for more details on the significance of this project that's. at the un head has voiced concerns over the increase attacks on minority serbs and their property and northern kossovo part of the blame on the decision of possible of being a leadership to extend its control over the serb run area for months serbs in the region have been barricaded him and not only against the unwanted authorities but also nato peacekeeping forces a look see at a ships he explains. perhaps not in the venue for

a wedding with this serbian couple living in northern ca civil decided to get married at the barricades immediately people love going to the computer here and there were groups who will invent. this era barricades in northern civil have been standing for several months now for girls will build them there are just a part of everyday life not only have the cost of a service isolated themselves from the cave for troops. from the unwanted neighbors this is the frame. which splits the serbian and guards. it was called the bridge of friendship it was meant to symbolize that so can easily live together but the size of the barricades on the serbian part tells the whole story or are unwilling to be a part of the self-proclaimed state while the cemented barricades in the middle of it so have become the town's main gathering spot tensions are still running high just a few kilometers. for every sand obstacle the k.

four troops managed to demolish serbs built two piles there are times when the two processes take place simultaneously. and. alibi. like the. surge say they have no choice but to continue barricading themselves in they believe albanians would not hesitate to wipe them off their land forcefully help they believe by k. four troops despite constant clashes with the ne taking and political pressure from belgrade because the serbs have become accustomed to living this cage they have built for themselves. it was hard at first when we run out of food and petrol but we serbs are people who are used to improvise and finding a way out we built alternative routes to the mountains so now we can again receive

supplies we prevented a humanitarian catastrophe. 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 is a story a closer look has seen different hard times even being occupied by turkey ones but stories with stupid old heart tests of times and everyone and nature of its own age this land is the cradle of serb culture and state but. another deadlock in this balkan melting pot continues belgrade is still unwilling to resume league. oh she ations with pristina which could put paid to this standoff but while 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 use they will inherit once they grow up looksee russia ski

r.t. reporting from coarseness commute in kosovo. russia's launch an unmanned probe to one of marx's moon spread its technical trouble is you to head to us to try and under some secrets about our solar system's creation but the russian space agency says there's still time to sort the glitches out our teams are peter all over can explain it more for us now peter what's going on right now exactly is the mission under threat because of this technical failure well yes it is no it is and it all depends on what kind of turn of. mission problem it actually is whether it's a problem with the hardware or the software of this. for this probe now the problem if it's with the software it seems to be quite fixable from earth they can do that from the private service currently trapped in a pretty around the planet they'll be able to send signals that repair any problems

with the software that we know if it's a problem with the hardware it becomes a little bit more difficult and things look a lot bleaker for this mission it it's a problem with the hardware it's very unlikely that they'll be able to get any kind of mission on the way it will be able to break out of the earth's atmosphere so everybody having the fingers crossed that it is a problem with the software and that they can repair that over the next three days or so and be able to get this mission but still waiting for that i suppose at the end goal what is the end what exactly is this mission hoping to achieve. confident let's hope that this mission it can be successful. if the probe gets on its way it will land on the thoughtless moon or mars now while it's there it will be looking at monitoring the atmosphere of mars itself also picking up soil samples from the surface of the moon now the focus means actually been suggested as a possible place the two humans could set up a colony in the future so they'll be very interesting to find out what findings

they they receive for. from there that would also be looking at the effect asteroids have. planets in the affected impact of asteroids upon planets and then also looking at what can what makes. the planet mars and where its origins are because after all if we are going to settle which is the hope of the scientific community we might as well know exactly what is the maker published in lust by all means least they also will be carrying with the microorganisms that they'll be assessing what effect these three your journey will have all those organisms to see what effect. that type of journey could have on human life making this trip to mars yes certainly i mean all of this is happening after their mars five hundred experiment in russia seems to be a really big push right now to get you know better isn't it well that's right just a week ago we saw six men from

a virtual mission to mars they spent five hundred twenty days trapped inside the mars five hundred module here in moscow simulating that trip to and back from the red planet of course russia to be hoping to be. the. forefront of a department of the martian explorations course they have had disappointment in the past in one thousand nine hundred sixty last proper mission to mars from russia that ended in disaster on the launch pad that unmanned probe not making it to its. mission potential so of course fingers crossed that this new poll this probe will be able to be successful and make it to make it to mars and right in crisscrossed and thanks very much for about report peter all of our reporting. more world news for you now starting in thailand where the floodwaters are finally receding ok it

is that i want to play in northern provinces but things are far from over in bangkok where there's a struggle to clear debris that's blocking the capital's drains the floods are taking a huge toll on thailand over five hundred people have been killed and many thousands displaced while kieffer i'm supposed to yoga on the nestlé has seen production and profits drop massively. american presidential hopeful herman cain is defiant about staying in the game despite the increasing as sexual harassment claims swirling around him a second woman is now gone public about her alleged assault as she wants all four accusers to come forward cain is a surprise front runner for the republican nomination to take on a president obama in two thousand and twelve and he denies all the claims. all india says it's now got fewer poor people but the numbers don't tell the whole story the government there now things 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 been counted as being poor thanks to a new definition that has moved india's poverty line to thirty two rupees per day or think that romney was works twelve hours six days a week as a cop you can meet up to two dollars per day he spends most of his money back to his village just to work the light and three children he left behind the fact that his country doesn't classify him as poor is shocking to him but you couldn't thirty two rupees a good benchmark to decide the poverty line is room because one cannot do anything with that amount someone like me who makes three thousand rupees per month finds it hard to survive here huh. only thirty two can survive the people behind no doubt nations 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 find it has no impact on who can access government welfare services and many people above the poverty line are also wallner i mean they're not it's not as if you know if you will blow the poverty line you're poor and if you've got one rupee more than the poverty line you're rich we have to do a lot for them and 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 you feed your family where you look after your kids where you send them for education how is not that anywhere close to the poverty line thirty thirty rupees per hour is also not good enough forget about it then a piece like that he does know we can to make it easy for now as the debate over

the poverty line is meaningless in his life he just wants to be able to support his family. i'm going to get better 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 i will continue doing his business to feed and educate my kids focusing and depending on himself preassure either r t new delhi india. along the way for you a former cia officer explains why the us needs to leave the middle east at a point that impossible to do so before about all the latest business. how cancer presents the south thanks for joining me western europe's getting its first russian gas while the new legal director north stream pipeline r t stand bush was in germany as the first delivery iraq 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 build a routine 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 is an e.u. word project there are german shareholders also french as part of this goes from the project and it will guarantee supply to citizens of those countries for the next fifty years or so even through this year zero crossings did more for gas in europe has gone up this was the point when the people said it could be built it was too long too expensive some said it was technically impossible for example there's only one compressor station along the route once again you said there were several needed to make it happen this route has been planned since the. second. year project leaders have said that the third law in tripling capacity of north stream will be discussed very soon by shareholders or is largest company gazprom

has reported an eighty percent believe profits during the second quarter past an awful year and almost ten billion dollars during that period being some of the forecast by ten percent the bottom line was given a lift by increased output and stronger prices to leverage to europe twenty percent this year and i said for a further boost now that the north stream gas networks are lying across more than seven billion dollars leading russian energy consultant constantine similar believes it will take a decade to break. the real time off for a total this in the west will depend on the prices on u.s. and european markets because the present freeze related to the gas prices in the european union but of course it will take on the euros in a way they must be not anxious about the thought of this money away because you know that from one point of view is the main circle that will flow through but from another point of view with the main supply route and. all girls the last three would be not empty you're. looking at the markets first crude prices are raised
