consent groups borrowing costs for warring. hello it's eleven pm wednesday night here in moscow my name's kevin are you watching r.t. in our top story iran world back down from its nuclear program in the face of any new sanctions so says the country's president ran denied it was developing atomic weapons as suggested in the latest report by the international nuclear watchdog a few days ago israel spoke of potential military action against iran raising fears the findings could be a pretext to an attack ad he's going to teach a car has been looking into the case. the u.s. and france calls for a meeting of the u.n. security council to discuss the possibility of imposing a new round of sanctions on iran washington and european and some european leaders

would ideally want to impose crippling economic sanctions that would further isolate iran but we know that two of the permanent members of the u.n. security council that is russia and china have made it clear that they don't want to cripple the uranium economy and that they say further isolating iran would be counterproductive for example russia's foreign deputy foreign minister said eighty additional sanctions on iran would. would be perceived by the international community as an instrument for regime change in tehran the statement itself indicates how opposed russia is to tougher sanctions against iran he said russia put forward an offer which is still on the table and that is for iran to fully cooperate on inspections and to prove that what they say about the civilian purpose of their nuclear research is true and is not a cover up for war for a weapons program and in return the international community would be ready to consider lifting sanctions and that's the offer which is still standing iran's says they won't back off from developing nuclear technologies tensions are really high

israel was hinting that they are gearing towards preemptive towards a preemptive strike washington say all options are are on the table but despite tough rhetoric coming from both israel and the u.s. many that lost into an intel of the are most likely to use the report as political leverage to try and isolate iran and possibly to put a dent you know in flourishing economic relations with china the u.n. nuclear watchdog report itself does not reveal a smoking gun but it sure fears that iran continues research on nuclear weapons the agency says its report is based on intelligence gathered by a number of countries including the united states but the u.s. intelligence has a history of presenting false savvy to. back in two thousand and three to make a case for the war in iraq it presented evidence that seemed so very solid at the time but turned out to be a hoax the question many are now ask is could the un's atomic watch start report

serve as a justification to start a war with iran but security experts say the consequences to such action would be catastrophic what is going to come they will put earlier spoke to some of the very heart of the growing tension soltanieh use the us that's the international atomic energy agency it's already believes many simply don't understand just how far cooperates with the un's nuclear watchdog. this report is not professional and balance only with political motivation and under political pressure by us and couple other western countries this report has fifteen pages of the allegations and the materials which were handed over only last week to us in a confirmation manner read the temp eight years of the report of director general which says that all activities including a retirement are continuously under to safeguard inspection the only second part which is the an ex is about the american allegation the important thing is that we

are party to n.p.t. all activities are under. fire even hundreds of sharks short visit unannounced inspection this is great and we took months to go invited the committee director general cleveland visit the r. and d. of scientific richmond can you give me any example that any respect or have been permitted to any certainty in any other part of the work. the past if the international atomic energy agency speaking to me just last hour in fact will discuss implications of the nuclear watchdog report us told now to little analyst chris bambery is on the line in london very good evening thanks ben r.t. now surrounds accuse the head of a western bias let's talk about that first do you agree with that. well i think there is a western bias in the brew for a circus and threaten stronger measures against. the wife of this reporter his

french counterpart did the same i'm still waiting to hear the british threatening strong measures measures against israel who just the other week tresidder boys think missile capable of carrying nuclear warheads israel has a we call you could program which was kept secret and which benjamin netanyahu. will not reveal we know that britain and. many years ago i provided you really. really into for that for that program in c. in secret meanwhile. israel has also carried out. then you're seeing if it's warplanes can go in there and come back in preparation for an attack on iran and why nato is allowing israel's use its base in sardinia for this purpose i don't know perhaps or you here can explain but instead we have the power which is used weapons america britain which is currently replacing its

nuclear weapons trident and israel with its illegal and a secret nuclear program a country which has said it would use nuclear weapons if it was under facing defeat in a war with one of its arab states ganging up against iran this report does not say in any way that or in iran is developing nuclear weapons but they're going up and i think the danger is that if iran is not pretty and creating nuclear weapons it may well do saw in response to the continuing war drums being breached in western capitals and. tel aviv i would be looking at this in a round and i'd be very very scared personally i don't see any you could missiles as my point of view just look at russia of yeah it's a war that adding new sanctions on iran will be an instrument of regime change there should be is that where souls move gold you think regime change well i think we have to remember the americans still have

a long and bitter memories about the revolution in one thousand seventy nine which overthrew the shah of iran they have always hated the islamic republic of iran for that and for the humiliation they suffer the whole of the subsequent hostage crisis crisis there they have unfinished business and. it's always been part of the so-called axis of terror in the eyes of the of the white house and the cia and i think they would wait to see regime change their. whether or not they're capable of delivering it given the debacle in iraq begun the debacle in afghanistan is a different matter they must know all that any attack whether it's by britain or america and we know that britain admitted a british military presence as a contingency plan for such an attack in alliance with america would potentially want to disaster the iranians could shut the straits of hormuz and strangle the world's all supply is the crucial question i care so after this leak report of the details are we closer tonight to set the tack that every is worrying about. why

there was a likelihood is they will continue to use sanctions for the moment valid for israel israel is a wild card when you can clearly gather from the exchange to nicolas sarkozy of france or barack obama they do have a very high opinion of this and yahoo in a new not in control of an israel is created capable of creating the attack is a war on track record of attacking its neighbors but i repeat any attack would be disaster of iranian iran could shut the straits of hormuz strangle the world's oil supplies there will be unrest in iraq with there's a huge shia community will be unrest in lebanon to realize they know the gaza strip the world is a very dangerous place and we should also remember sanctions were used in iraq over ten years with devastating consequences for that country's economy and for the social our conditions inside that country to weaken it in preparation finally for the two thousand and three invasion sanctions against iraq in one thousand nine hundred ninety s. were essentially a softening up corporation in preparation for out of asian and the continuation of

sanctions against the rand is quite possible another way of ratcheting up the pressure in preparation going online for military intervention or to grieve over a change all right chris thanks for your thoughts materialises you are joining us on the line thank you. it's a big story we're in what you think about it tonight how close do you think we are now to a military strike against a ground you think is going to happen this is what you've been telling us online tonight are. majority. think attack is imminent runs along with american and israeli interests the story telling is on the graph there sixteen percent say you doubt it given that no one wants to see a bloodbath in the region ten percent think the whole thing still the president surrounds willingness to cooperate while if you think they will only be able to strike iran actually admits having a nuclear bomb you can add your voice to that pie chart at r.t. . thousands of student demonstrators marched in central london venting

their anger of reggie cation cuts in a tripling of fees around twenty campaigners were arrested with there's no repeat of the violent scenes witnessed on the streets of a similar demo a year ago the bennett reports for us. how does pete there were over two thousand protesters here marching through central london students coming from universities all over britain some as far afield as scotland even joining the demonstration they were campaigning here against two things firstly the hike intuition freeze university students we charge next year treble what they are being charged now so up to nine thousand pounds per year to attend the british university and secondly against education cuts are being proposed by the government that could see if you case accepted private providers for the first time again also offer degrees now to students saying that is big business profiting from their education and that's what they're angry about with a lot of placards with the slogan saying our education not their business i did

catch up with some of the protesters and this is what they had to say education cuts don't have a hill i mean this is something. we really need the government to do because they're going up a whole generation of working class students who are going to give us a lot of food so that they either listen now we basically say we will try we're doing whatever we can we just announced please stop what you're doing which i believe that the government is spending money on people rather than themselves and name it and the whole reason why this is happening is not at all and that's great i just want to make sure i got a they said yeah i think so. but them astray sion was very tightly controlled with four thousand police lining the streets preventing any protesters from breaking free from the maps out and planned out routes that was in stark contrast to last year when. barely two hundred fifty offices were overwhelmed by protesters and those all the destruction to buildings vandalism and violence now to preempt that for the first time ever the police did actually free authorize the use of plastic

bullets at a preplanned march on mainland u.k. now to some including chris nine and from the coalition for resistance this was an aggressive unnecessary provocation. but people have all sorts of political views and i was under the impression that that was allowed in this country. what the announcement that was made to the incredibly provocative announcement that was made that there's going to be rather police in preparation for this demonstration is absolutely outrageous i mean if anything it was likely to increase the level of tension increase that the level of distrust and the level of fear actually of the police it would have been that there were a few minor flashpoints today as protesters hold bricks and sticks at offices for the police to deal with that very quickly keeping the protesters hemmed in in a very small area and only twenty or arrests were made. of bennett there reporting from central london a bit earlier still to come for you this hour our t.v.

moscow a mission to a martian moons at stake in a manned russian got stuck in orbit threading the country's ambitious plans to uncover many mysteries of our solar system it's a pity that we've got more details coming up shortly. first though it's the end of an era for italy as prime minister silvio berlusconi declares that he's throwing in the towel after a scandal ridden decade in power is promised resignation comes with a precondition though that parliament passes a series of budget cuts to keep it sinking economy afloat correspondent sara firth as more of what all this means now that for the battle country. we've seen a lot of concern today that it's least related to a sinkhole she'd be stuffed into a death spiral from which there might be neighbors now we saw today it's these borrowing costs past that seven percent threshold that extremely significant because that was the trigger point which we saw country searches islands portugal and greece when they passed it have to then ask for emergency bell assistance from

the usa and the i.m.f. now is to say significant because that is the point which investors have their risk threshold and the start to look a country such as this really with a very large debts and ask with interest rates that sort of level whether or not the country's going to be able to pay back what it is and investors will then stop lending and that would be absolutely disastrous for a country such as italy with such an extortionate debt level at the moment we see the situation develop that it extremely unprecedented rate really the year is a quite disappointing from one country to the next from the financial situation to a political situation of course it's really has been a different now we know prime minister berlusconi has said he's going to step down once safe but you reforms have been passed he said today yes no the plans to stand for elections which he said he could for elections in february and he also put the name forward angelino out found that someone who is quite close to berlusconi in

his government is the minister of justice now of course is exactly what is going to happen because the decision about when elections are going to be held doesn't lie with prime minister berlusconi and lies to the italian president and he's yet to come out to say exactly what his plans are whether they'll be early elections or possibly some kind of interim government of course we need to remember is that an interim government at this point early elections is that still you know a certainty that they're going to be able to push these necessary measures through to their concerts. the problem in the things they sniff is really what causes a much concern amongst the marketplace this is where if we have the political will to push three these measures and it was very very clear today if the new government how and when that will be formed is not going to be a quick fix solution to the very critical situation. of the sarah first little

problems that didn't start with the crisis the country's been in a state of virtual economic stagnation ever since joy and for that folk founder of the policy development since the foundation faces much the play when he says certainly what we see on the financial ground is the effect of very. strong speculative movements that is going on now for several months over the child in the economy and the child in state to g.d.p. ratio was unsustainable in fact the problem of italy ease of course that is not the major one is no growth the absence of growth which is imposed by the policies of she repeated live and most of the german positions on how to handle the monitory union this is causing a total of balance in the country i think we are edging towards a very dangerous area which of course will look really impossible situation in

the stock markets the effect of this would be the collapse of the system but this would create a culture and the country instead of solution. but folks in africa and greece which of course heads the line a country is destabilizing the eurozone talks about forming that new government appear to have stalled tonight despite the problems as earlier statements that politicians had finally reach an agreement george packer dreyer's delivered a farewell speech to the nation and is now expected to formally tender his resignation in his address where he gave no indication of who his successor might be this comes after weeks of political chaos that puts greek membership of the euro in jeopardy. taking you around the world now violence is a route to once again in syria with civilians reportedly coming under fire from police after thousands took to the streets what you're seeing now is amateur footage release by a group opposed to the rule of president assad that allegedly shows military forces cracking down on demonstrations taking place in the northwest of the country

activists say more than one hundred people have been killed in the region in the last week. nato peacekeepers have used tear gas to take control of one of the barricades nor the cost of a built by local serbs several months ago in an ongoing border dispute but the success for the k. four troops was short lived because a new roadblock was put further down the road shortly afterwards a crackdown comes just days ahead of the un drawing attention to the increasing number of attacks on serbs living in northern kosovo i suppose a little analyst alexander publisher told me he believes there's a bigger picture behind nato's actions in serbia. they've been doing it for years now and they've broken their mandate actually they're doing the job of the albanian control government in prishtina they're doing it openly in spite of their mandate from the un which is supposed to be a peacekeeping mandate as they say to keep to the warring sides separate this is an aggressive show of force and drafting like an occupier instead of peacekeepers here

behind the crisis the grief there behind the crisis in iran we're seeing right now is the slowing of the new world disorder and serbia is one of the flashpoints but he's a correspondent and next year geske is visiting the region to to delve a bit deeper into the causes behind the ongoing tensions since he's from. perhaps not an old this venue for a wedding but this serbian couple living in northern course all decided to get married at the barricades in meter it's the google earth we're going to be others here in does that we do when dance. pieces we've just received. this sort of barricades in northern kosovo have been standing for several months now for those who built them there are just a part of everyday life not only have the course of a sort of isolated themselves from the case for troops but also from their unwanted

neighbors this is the famous bridge in the middle of it so which splits the town and the serbian and albanian parts it was called the bridge of friendship it was meant to symbolize that the two can easily live together but the size of the barricades on the serbian part tells the whole story of how serbs 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 people. for every sound off the call the k. four troops madness and militia serbs built two piles there are times when the too close is taking place simultaneously. and. people like to see. the. serbs say they have no choice but to continue barricading themselves in they believe will benny and would not hesitate to wipe them off their land forcefully help they believe by k.

four troops despite constant clashes with a nato contingent and political pressure from both great because the serbs have become accustomed to living this cage they have built for themselves. it was hard at first just as we run out of food and petrol but we serbs are people who used to improvise. and finding a way out we build alternative routes through the mountains so now we can again receive supplies we planted 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 destroyed because of all his sin differing hard times even being my blood turkey ones but now monasteries we've stewed all hottest of times and everyone and literally it's a new lease this land is the cradle of it's a 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 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 views they will inherit once they grow up. let's see russia r.t. reporting from cause of commuters in kosovo technical difficulties are threatening a russian space probe heading to the martian moon just hours after its mission a country space agency says they got wind of just a couple of days now to try and fix the problems they've just encountered the mission was hoping to shed light on other solar systems created people all of us got the latest on this one for you. well the mission itself is only at risk depending on what kind of technical failure it is now the launch of the the full

force ground 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 it is now 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 program 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 tried to launch something towards bars since one thousand nine hundred sixty one ended with a failure this time they're hoping to get there to the moon a focus of 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 that meteorites and the impact meteorites have upon the surface of the red planet now also the probe is pitted with micro organisms so that we could see what potential effect the journey to mars and back could have on us put all of their lot resting on it we'll let you know how they get on now are the big show crosstalk a couple of minutes time as people of elton i guess try to find out whether creating the european union was ever a good idea in the first place it's interesting watching past the first let's get up to date with the day's business here. thanks for staying with us here on r.g.p. i match reza with your business bowlers and well after eighteen years of trying russia's finally clear the final hurdle to join the world trade organization
