a new round of sanctions on iran and washington and some european leaders ideally would want to impose crippling economic sanctions that would further isolate iran but two of the permanent members of the u.n. security council russia and china have made it clear in the past that they don't want to cripple the arraigning economy which would be hard on the ukrainian people in the first place and they say further isolating iran would be counterproductive instead russia could forward an offer which is still on the table and that is for iran to fully cooperate on inspections to prove that what they say about the civilian purpose of their nuclear research is true and is not a cover out of a weapons program and the return the international community would be ready to consider lifting second sanctions in stages that's the offer which is still standing but the latest report by the u.n. nuclear watchdog has very much steered attentions around iran and israel was hinting that they are gearing towards a preemptive strike washington said all options are on the table but despite tough rhetoric coming from both israel and the united states many agree that washington

and tel aviv are most likely to use the report as political leverage to isolate iran and possibly to put a dent in its flourishing economic relations with china here is more on what's actually in the report. now the u.n. . 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 needs against south 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 and you clear weapons 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 as to the accuracy of the atomic agency's latest report on you ran back in two thousand and three the u.s. was adamant its evidence on iraq's weapons of mass destruction and 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 by labs for biological weapons aluminum tubes presented as components of centrifuges to enrich uranium all of the of buff 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 be you once atomic watchdog record serve as a justification to start a war with iran security experts say the consequences for such action would be catastrophic and 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 no one in the international community wants iran to have nuclear weapons but what they fear is a grub stake unilateral action by israel with the backing of the united states that we join on fire at a time when it is as on stable as it gets millions of lives could be in danger if policymakers in washington or tell of the decided 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 take. on the reasons for the unprecedented pressure

currently mounting on iran of late partly in the internal affairs of the u.s. and israel that's the view of a research fellow at the institute for security studies basically a lot of it has already been known from leaks and such for several years the difference now is that there is in conflict with these information and stating that it is able to corroborate it and you can see in the sense that all of it is coming into a perfect storm and first of all we have the strange story of the ring attempt to assassinate the saudi ambassador in the united states then we have the internal discussion which is unprecedented level hardening whether there is a plan to try to go on with that scrutiny and then we have a report which is now incorporating some of the recommendations in from based on intelligence from western countries and saying that it can corroborate the pressure and the situation is much more tense than we are. through all kinds of reasons for the domestic reasons and several countries and also because of the evidence

whatever it is that we have of him. well we want to know how close you think a military strike against iran now is so far the majority thinks that attack is imminent as it runs along with american and israeli interests sixty percent doubt it arguing that no one wants to see a bloodbath in the region ten percent think the whole thing is still the pants on terror as well enough to cooperate well slightly fewer think there will be a military strike only if iran actually admits having a nuclear bomb how do you add your voice now it felt on the home page of r.t. dot com. and still to come for you this hour native peacekeepers say call for a serbian barricade erected in northern possibile as a long lasting standoff of the region between the four forces and local serbs continues while the many roadblocks already started blended into the scenery. also a mission x. or martian moon is at stake and unmanned russian drone get stuck in orbit threatening the country's ambitious plans to one cover the many mysteries of our

solar system. that thousands of student demonstrators are marching in central london that in their anger over education cuts and trickling torsion well this comes almost a year after similar protests in the heart of the british capital the senate into violence artie's ivor bennett is keeping across developments for us all the campaigning against is jewish and fee hikes that will see universities challenging to nine thousand pounds per year that's from the beginning next year the moment it's three thousand increase of three times and they're also campaigning against education cuts is a government proposal that's been put through just this summer three it's going through all of it now they could see for the first time private providers all spring degrees now the students are saying that's the privatization of their education and big business will profit never ask for their own have you got a lot of placards being brandished saying our education is not their business so

they're very unhappy about that that's what a lot of the chance is since you don't. as well we've heard a lot about the police tactics leading up to these protests because this time last year the student protests ended with a lot of violence and destruction of property and police have the first time on mainland u.k. authorized the use of plastic bullets pre-authorized for a planned protest and is already four thousand police officers on the streets here now to talk more about the process i'm joined now by chris ninan from the coalition of resistance chris thanks very much for speaking to r.t. now tell me why you hear well i'm here because education affects everyone in society and what is really going on here and why people are so angry is that the government is dismantling education as we know it they're making it very very hard for poor people to get to university at all they're also as you suggest introducing big piece of this into the way that universities are run and mangku was the cutting

of major parts of the major concerns in university of the university and why should that not happen why should be running education education is something which is about developing human beings it's about giving people a wider perspective on society it's about age should be about learning and big business has its own priorities it's about making profits it's not about developing people and i believe education should be as broad and is fulfilling and creative as it can be it's about it's a class project it's about forcing working class people really out of education and as i say it's about turning universities into factories for for producing people for the big corporations given last year's farland so the equivalent protests the police have preemptive war they feel be another violent outbursts and we're already in the protests we've seen a lot of manicurists there is well seemingly hijacking it what does that do if there is any violence to the message here does it does it take away from it i mean those are loaded terms i must say i mean people have all sorts of political views

and i was under the impression that that was allowed in this. what the announcement that was made the incredibly provocative announcement that was made that there's going to be rubber bullets in preparation for this demonstration is absolutely outrageous i mean if anything is likely to increase the level of tension and increase the level of distrust and the level of fear actually of the police it would if mean that and they have done that and that's a terrible terrible thing no one on in their right mind could possibly say that is about trying to keep the day the police the only role the police should be playing is to facilitate the rights to peaceful protest these protests will be peaceful unless the police in and start catering people and start harassing people. christiane and from the coalition of resistance thanks very much thing to r.c. . now as i say the protesters have actually moved on from here they are marching towards the city of london will join up with them very shortly we are keeping our dates coming on twitter then you can follow us at r.t.

london bureau will keep you updated. now it's the end of an era for italy as prime minister silvio berlusconi declares he's throwing in the towel after a scandal ridden decade in power his promised resignation comes with a precondition though the parliament passes a series of budget cuts to keep its a king economy afloat war correspondents are for has more what all this means for the embattled country it was just yesterday that prime minister berlusconi announced he'd be resigning once the budget reforms had been passed but today it's least seen as boring cause soul into the danger zone it's got hard that's seven percent that critical point now that's really been such a concern because that was the trigger point which we saw ireland greece and portugal have to then seek assistance from the usa and the i.m.f. certainly a very serious situation here indeed is also the point really a which investors start looking at the countries huge that realize that it's going

to get to the point where it's going to be too big to pay back is that and then investors stop lending now that would be absolutely disastrous italy which has an absolutely mammoth one point eight trillion euros what's extremely clear here at the moment is these financial problems that italy is they're struggling with not going to be solved by a quick fix government solution when and lack of mention happens here invaded is not going to be the answer to all those problems it's going to take a bit more than that he will say. success is someone in the party a lot of people have been talking about as a possible head for whatever the new government will be and now we know that the president expected to make an announcement about a possible new governor whether that will be an interim government is not yet known is certainly clear that they it's thought that they're going to try and steer away from elections which of course is going to cause even more uncertainty ready very

unstable to. the name is angeline that's the name is being put forward as a possible new he's been described as being very close steve alleghany in the past having gone above and beyond the call of g.t. sometimes in his role as minister of justice that's the name that people here are looking at as he said an extremely unstable time and of course exactly what the eurozone did not want to see happening in its sleeve because they don't have that big bailout fund in place right now the cash at the moment if it's really needs that is simply not very very serious time for the country at the moment. and as europe and the i.m.f. grow more and more desperate to iraq to cash buffer against the worsening crisis all attention is turning to the east christine the guards following up her fundraising visit to russia with a trip to china to convince beijing to pour its vast cash reserves into her agency

but economists warn of china's help will only come on its own terms. the initial object to you is really whole china can work more closely or words are enough but of course 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 of will have to be the right answer to the chinese people because because their tax dollars the investment should be targeted more to the valuable assets to help the industries instead of writing a bland check to buy the bonds which is now rather fifty and there has not been the reasonable or for that the proper return or risk of free packet is being all for either by the individual country that is facing the problem all by the eurozone or the whole. i'll stay with a deepening debt crisis artie's peter lavelle and his guest discuss whether it's

time for the e.u. to have the reins of power back to national governments across your way just over ten minutes time but here's a short paid. if priest last week were to have voted in a referendum order to have passed that under my left the choice to the greek citizens would have mentor to greece greek citizens would have got a veto on economic governance within the eurozone which is almost unheard of that is the good thing of this crisis and i said that you see we are clearly moving this action also there is no doubt these are the i.c.c. vientiane so you can only see a losing their jobs as a good side to this crisis. we know. there's only because it's on the streets people. and you say there's a good thing to these crises. nato peacekeepers have managed to dismantle one of the barricades in northern kossovo built by local serbs several months ago in an ongoing border dispute but the

success of the cave for troops was short lived after a new block was put up further down the road i would all can start long after the head of the un a jew attention to be increasing number of attacks on serbs living in northern kossovo artie's i don't see it as show you delve deeper into the causes behind every system. that. perhaps not an obvious venue for a wedding but this serbian couple living in northern ca civil decided to get married at the barricades in return it's a couple of we get it together here and there we go for a while and then it's always as i well know this is just prison. with 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 kosovo serbs isolated themselves from the case for troops but also from their unwanted neighbors this is the famous bridge in which splits the town and the serbian and albanian parts 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 are unwilling to be part of the self-proclaimed state while the cemented barricades in the middle of it's a have become the town's main gathering stuart tensions are still running high just a few kilometers. for every sand off the gold the cave for troops managed to demolish serbs built two piles there are times when the too close is take place a multi-year sneak you can leave our. home about and. people like you see. the. serbs say they have no choice but to continue barricading themselves in they believe would not hesitate to wipe them off their land forcefully help they believe by k. for troops despite constant clashes with and making changes and political pressure

from belgrade because the serbs have become accustomed to living in this cage they have built for themselves. it was hard at first because we ran out of food and petrol but we serbs are people who are used to provide. and finding a way out we've built alternative routes through the mountains so now we can again receive supplies we've prevented a humanitarian catastrophe or do 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 times even be in the key ones but stories with stupid old heart tests of times and everyone and make sure it's an ace this land is the cradle of culture and stayed. 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 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 that world views they will inherit once they grow up a look see russia see reporting from course. in kosovo. technical difficulties are threatening a russian space probe heading to a martian will just hours into its mission a country space agency says they will have a window of just a few days to try to fix the problem but the mission is hoping to shut light on how the solar system was created at artist peter all over has all the details. well the mission itself is only at risk the pending on what kind of technical failure it is now the launch of the the forward's glue and actually went off pretty much without a hitch it was shortly after that initial launch that problem started arising and

now it all depends what kind of problem is if it's a problem with the the software on board then that potentially can be fixed however if it is a problem with the hardware the actual probe itself well it could prove to be the end of this mission pretty much before it even got underway well this is a. hugely anticipated scientific mission from the russian space agency it's the first time that russia have tried to launch something towards bars since one thousand nine hundred ninety six that one ended with a failure this time they're hoping to get there to the moon a focus a place that's actually been suggested as a potential future settlement for humans now they'll be taking soil samples from the surface of the moon they'll also be monitoring the make up of the atmosphere of mars looking down on it from one of its major satellites they'll also be looking at

the impact of meteorites and the impact meteorites have upon the surface of the red planet now also the probe is fitted with microorganisms so that we could see what potential effect the journey to mars and back could have on us are back in the headlines shortly but first the latest business now. thanks for staying with us here on our match reza with our business bulletin two hundred dollars a barrel back could be the troublesome reality of oil prices in the future according to the financial times that is if the war of words between the west and iran over the country's controversial nuclear program erupts into a full scale conflict other analysts argue major powers won't allow an attack on iran as a disruption to supplies in the world's third largest export of catastrophic. even

if done so you would build up she still would have above them getting the oil markets so yes she would have a significant potential significant event by the oil and then these markets would you have visited global because of the you'll america has very little to see is the balkans china is lead to inching a little bit because of high inflation. india high inflation so the whole world pretty much is a difficult economic situation of on top of that you would have a very significant increase in the price of oil would be a disaster for the global economy speaking of oil let's take a look at those oil numbers crude prices heading down after seeing some gains earlier in the day light sweet currently trading at around ninety five dollars per barrel brant hovering at around one thirteen. u.s. stock suffering heavy losses after a clearing house the deposits needed to trade italian government bonds and index
