but you know what you know soto be able to make her toes you're good enough to do a pretty turn and you're more time. in serbia let's use it we believe in good and hard we can see they are going it. doesn't say iran is building a weapon but it says it's collecting all the information if it needs to do so with fear mongering like that it's no wonder western forces are questioning iran's nuclear potential so with a fresh i.a.e.a. report as ammunition could the u.s. and israel gearing up for another war and so there's some like anyone else like an echo of iraq circa two thousand and three. and survey says a considerable amount of americans harbor into jewish attitudes and the intolerance is only getting worse as the economy had found so while countries all over the world remember the international day against anti-semitism the americans do the

same. if you give the reality of the world you give away those nine eleven safety precautions that. you know we have to take welcome to the new american reality for washington d.c. buildings look more like fortresses and symbols of american freedom and prosperity so is all of this in your face security actually necessary or just part of big brother's bureaucratic scare tactics. today is wednesday november night it's four pm in our studios here in washington d.c. and christine watching our team. well after much anticipation and speculation the international atomic energy agency has released its latest report on iran's nuclear capabilities it is there some information about the development of new technology relevant to the production of nuclear weapons that could suggest perhaps maybe iran

is possibly working on developing nuclear weapons this has been several years of gathering information intelligence from ten member states interviews and satellite imagery now some are reading this as evidence that many of these activities associated with a nuclear weapons program that were supposed to stop in two thousand and three have in fact continued but officials in tehran to continue to deny all of these charges are going earlier claims that it was only seeking the peaceful use of nuclear energy but this was the most comprehensive and critical report yet and as our team guyana chicken reports it's raising fears it could be a pretext for a future attack on iran. right now with the u.n. you're clear 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 here a national atomic energy agency claims to have iranian computer models of nuclear warheads which the watchdog uses a possible indication that iran plans to build an atomic bomb among other evidence a satellite image of a steel container that might be used to secretly cast the high explosives needed to trigger and uclear 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 precedent of u.s. intelligence presenting thought senators 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 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 qaeda terrorists evidence of more vile lapse folk while 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 last eight 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 group 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 no one community wants ukraine to

have nuclear weapons but what they fear is the aggressor unilateral action 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 tel aviv is psyched 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 r t all right so with the release of the i.a.e.a. report there are some final questions and also some more complicated ones do the findings show that iran is in fact going forward with a plan to acquire nuclear weapons is there room for discussion for as g.o.p. presidential candidate ron paul says a chance to try to make friends with iran who are the people who gave the information about iran for this report and who would benefit from increased evidence that iran is in fact developing its nuclear weapons program paul craig

roberts is a former official with the reagan administration hasn't had a mouse in florida hey there dr roberts let's get some perspective here first when you were in washington back in the eighty's how big of a problem was iran and what is a few significant ways in which you think things have changed. well the problem. of iran was that overthrew the american puppet. and washington got his feelings hurt and refuses to have relations with iran and since that time there's been huge changes the neoconservatives have become. very influential their very tightly ally israel and both wall. war with iran and it serves the whole source of their trust and so we now have. a more compliant head of the internet international atomic energy agency much more

compliant with american propaganda than his predecessor and so we now have been poor which doesn't really say anything there's no evidence and there's just some innuendo and washington will not spin this in your endo to try to prepare the ground as they did with a rock. for a military attack based on nothing so you're saying of the things that have really changed it is more the attitude and some of the ideas and the policies being put forth here in washington and not sit in iran well you know who's around attacked. attacked him are. we ok so you you grow up to this point and we certainly heard this mentioned in the report a lot of comparisons between this situation and iraq the case of weapons of mass

destruction which laid out the case for war i'm wondering you know should people believe this report because it's being told to us or do you think there is more evidence and cause for concern here there's no evidence at all the report has been of evidence so the news reports that say these are just misinformed there's no evidence of a report there is some sort of innuendo. but that's all there is there's no there's no evidence that iran has in fact the report status there's no evidence of any diversion of it in europe i'm sure there's some sort of. hype about they're working on a trigger for a nuclear bomb but everyone knows the ranch and. enrich uranium to the extent necessary to make a bomb they even said they won't you can enrich uranium to the stage to use for medical isotopes they're willing to have that done outside the country it's the american superblock that deal so so they really don't nothing there

a is that done nothing. and the americans are continuing to try i mean washington of course to create a pretext for a military attack on iran is part of the new conservative agenda it's been part of the region due for what now more than a dozen years alone and there are still people who are who would agree with you and say you know this really is nothing new and it's just another step in this path to war i want to play for you paul something that we are spoke yesterday with jim obviate the policy director for the national iranian american council and i did not play a little bit of that interview and then of talk about it all right there is no option to stop iran from developing a neutral nuclear weapons capability through war you can't bomb knowledge. any military operation against iran could be simple program that they have in place

back a couple years you can't stop a program i want can certainly do is convince iran to pursue a nuclear weapon outright to throw out the i.a.e.a. and actually make that decision all right so this is a little bit of a different perspective this is someone who is saying you know whether or not this is going on and we should also mention that there was some talk in the report that you know even if it's not iran that iran is getting some outside help but he's saying to madea's saying. and you can't even if this is going on at war is not going to change anything what do you think about that war would change a lot. of ground as a large country it's probably goes more capability. and it could even have a part of the capability of disrupting or solution strait of hormuz and we don't know what the reaction of other countries will be you know if we will see that this is another folks another hoax excuse by the americans to go to another

war then the support for the united states will dry up i mean i think it's already drying up and that the spin masters in washington or pushing it i mean who is going to believe this what karen what has washington said in the last ten or twelve years it was true. well i think a lot of people were would say that i have a valid point to an extent but i want to talk about china there are some who are start that the u.s. wants to isolate iran to put a damper on its economic relations with china and also on the other side of this is not forget china relies pretty heavily on iran it's the country's third largest oil supplier so what do you think is the role of china in all of us. well on a said you know back before they started the attack in libya. what the united states is doing to china is what they did to prepare in the twenty's or thirty's

they want to cut japan off of oil and rubber and there's raw materials and they're trying now to take away china's access to energy sources that's the american plan for. remaining the dominant power in boxing insurance so just as they went into libya to dislodge gentlemen from their well investment as you know it washington is now in africa for the same reason that i mean other parts of africa where china has all the best which then that's also part of the reason for wrecking a rant but that's only one of the reason paula is that we're out of time i'm so sorry thanks so much for weighing in though former reagan administration official and columnist paul craig roberts all right so just as you heart western powers are

starting to beat those drums of war against iran after speculation that the country may have the ability to create a nuclear weapon but it seems u.s. politicians aren't just using the spear mongering tactics against iran but the region as a whole and according to former cia agent michael scheuer americans are in the crosshairs of terrorists worldwide because of washington's policies in the muslim world overall. washington's enemy is an enemy that doesn't exist we're fighting and in this law make enemy that washington believes is out to kill us 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 to defeat this enemy and israel itself as a country is not the problem the real problem marge is the leaders of the jewish american community in the united states who influence and corrupt our congress to support israel when we have no interests there and the the american political establishment is caught between two things they're extremely puk pro israel and they're almost marxist in their belief that democracy in the spread of democracy is inevitable in all places in all peoples at all times and so they need to protect the israelis but they can't say what is a reality for example there is not going to be a democracy in tunisia or or or or libya or egypt that in any way resembles democracy in the west and yet they what they've done is create energy they've

created a situation where the only beneficiaries are the islamists. the guns that have flown out of egypt out of tunisia out of libya to the islamists have been enormous in their value and the prisons that were opened in egypt tunisia and libya have reinforced the islamist groups across the world so they're mindless their mindless pursuit of secular democracy at the end of the day endangers the stability of the region and probably the whole world the truth is american and western foreign policy interests in the middle east have depended for fifty years on the maintenance of tyranny tyranny that pregame us access to oil tyranny that protected israel and i know in the last twenty years tyrannies that persecuted islamists to protect us all of that is going by the wayside and the israelis credit the israelis are the only ones who have stood up and said democracy may not be very good for our

security and they couldn't be more correct and if it's written is real attacks around the americans will get blamed for can going it whether we did or not so i think what we're seeing is a slow almost inexorable advance toward some kind of a conflict with with iran. that was former cia agent michael scheuer and to see our jesus entire exclusive interview interview you can head to our web site r t v dot com. well today is international day against anti-semitism and fascism widely recognized across europe november ninth one thousand nine hundred thirty eight was the day nazis began their program against the jews setting synagogues on fire and vandalizing stores and businesses owned by jews many see this as the symbolic start of the holocaust but we wanted to take today to look deeper into a new study published by the n.t. defamation league that examines american attitudes toward jews in this country there are many facets of this but one of the most significant things that found is

that anti semitic attitudes have increased in the last couple of years with about fifteen percent of americans falling in the most intimate cohort now out of those people there are some interesting attitudes about the power of jews in america this bar graph taken from the report shows that seventy eight percent of that group think the jews have too much power in business sixty seven percent think they have too much power overall in the u.s. and seventy one percent think jewish people control wall street and just a short time ago i spoke to the national director with the empty defamation league abraham foxman he was in our new york studio and i asked him to respond to those figures as well as the implications of the report. yes i think every time there's economic instability there's a globally i mean time people are and how be anxious about their present future they look for scapegoats and jews have been a convenient scapegoat throughout the ages and money in jews is

a convenient stereotype throughout the years and so when we see konami instability when we see things like the in terms of people's futures they look to blame somebody and jews have been going throughout the ages and wondering though i really want to be careful here to make sure people our viewers know that for this survey which i believe was conducted a few weeks ago. seventeen hundred plus people were answered questions for the survey so despite the fact that you know that that's how polling works we want to be really careful in saying that those answers automatically translate into the opinions of thirty five million americans i mean how do you deal with those kind of questions. well you know it's been polling it's not an exact science but it does give you an accurate picture of people's attitudes how they feel again we have developed this index forty years ago do you do x.

has been pretty solid in terms not only in the u.s. really we've done it in europe we've done did in russia as well and what basically is that if you answer six or seven out of the eleven questions in just saying yes jews are too powerful jews kill prize shoes or only care about themselves or you know if your crap like a duck walks like a duck act like a duck you're a guy i want to move on to this recent thing that happened this you could call it the hoops my microphone was on and i didn't realize that moment the last week and france at the g. twenty and this was a conversation between president obama and the french president nicolas sarkozy sarkozy called it the israel prime prime minister benjamin netanyahu a liar and president obama was overheard saying something like you know you're fed up with them i have to deal with them every day several g.o.p. candidates have come forward demanding that president obama apologize and i know you've written about this you said that the a.d.l.

is extremely disappointed that this was unpresidential. i guess expound on on this what do you think ana president should do assuming that this is a true statement i'm not. assuming started i think we would all be shocked if other conversations which are private i wonder how they feel about that i wonder how they feel about president putin you know i'd that doesn't get us anywhere what the president does or doesn't do that's up to him i think it is however you know a serious question that if those are the attitudes of those are the feelings to what extent it influences foreign policy and i guess the same question can be asked about president and putin what their personal feelings about president obama or. the chancellor merkel sarkozy to what extent are they in fact that's a very serious question to which we don't have an answer but we certainly should be concerned we certainly should be concerned certainly i think you and i might both

find it interesting to be a fly on the wall in the conversations of some of these world leaders i want to ask a quick question though about the a.d.l. i know that our producers here at r.t. had originally hoped to have a debate about this survey to sort of see the different sides of it but i know when our producers booked the interview with you with your media people they said that you come on the show but that you wouldn't be willing to debate the position of the ada a.v. i just wanted to give you an opportunity to say why i mean isn't a bait a good way to forward the conversation. well i'm not sure the great one the great an anti-semite which was one of the original suggestions. but to have to defend anti-semitism so i don't understand what debate is we have a survey if you you know. the polling data procedures the techniques are not ours they're there they're what every polling institution does so i don't not sure what it is that we're going to debate if there are people who say that

there is an anti semitism that's right your you can title you can have whatever you want i'm just not about to discuss it with somebody who is i don't think there's anybody seriously doesn't think there's anti-semitism now to what level happy done polls have they studied are the scholars and the people you know there were floated by me i don't fit that category i have no problem sitting in discussing go through with people who disagree. you know before coming on the air with all due respect no i was not going to debate an anti-semite and some of the names that were brought forward were not and i would try to been serious people but i do you you have you can go on an hour later and put on whoever you want to question and challenge i appear on panels and forums and and debate but i think to debate whether there is or there isn't anti-semitism i'm not sure has any value well regardless we do think it and important discussion to have abraham foxman direct national director of the anti-defamation league thanks so much for coming on and sharing our kind of

a take away for not serving right when i just say something i think the very fact that our tea focused on the university of seventy third seventy third anniversary of style not to take the subject and to look at it and to examine it is something very much appreciated and just indicates a sense of history and perspective if you have and for that thank you very much. well here in washington it seems architecture is being shaped by post nine eleven fears from bomb proof glass to constant surveillance to physical barriers it's obvious security is top priority here in washington but how do those measures really protect our correspondent liz wahl takes a look at the changing landscape in the city and looks at who is being protected and who's not have intense security measures. it's important to remember remain vigilant in our efforts to defeat terrorists enemies and protect the american

people. this average has changed the landscape of america's count on this street leading to the white house response holdings and motorists now with blocked by barriers and dollars i guess it's sort of makes it seem more important you know a lot to run a car into. the supreme court a marble masterpiece bollards now online it's entering the same site around the capitol you're guaranteed to find bollards just like the surrounding just about every high profile government building one architect calls a bowler would envy where these stumps don't simply service protection but as a symbol of bureaucratic status what worries me is the having certain buildings. other buildings. would hold points out the nine eleven attack the twin towers and the american people not a federal building he questions the priority to protect

a special you and started a powerful act. under a terrorist threat which we all reference all of us. in a train station. and it really doesn't make a lot of. person to take one building but some say they're willing to sacrifice a suffix for safety i think it's the reality of the world we live in a post nine eleven safety precautions. you know we have to take others say the structures are a reminder of that fateful day it reminds me of nine eleven and all the security structures that were up around the city but that's a little worry that the nation's iconic and historic buildings are turning into eyesores but it doesn't have to go downtown. new orleans big. deal. security using water or using landscaping walls various things are said early

devices but they'll look like said they like these bowler like barriers disguised as flower pots thank god for now bees structures however on site late all remain a permanent fixture in a city fixated on security and bureaucratic status and washington and liz wall are taking. all right we are almost out of time becoming the next right here on our team that capital account with lauren lister. hey there lauren it looks like the dow took a little plunge today i imagine you'll touch upon this subject absolutely the dow took a pretty big lunch today christine was down more than four hundred points at one point it closed down three hundred eighty nine points but it's so much more than just volatility in the market and a bad day in the market will explain why this is going on and you don't have to look any further than what's happening in italy and the rest of the eurozone to explain why this is that the bigger picture is why this matters and what impact it could have a lord it's not just a around europe certainly this was

a big last few days with greece of course is and italy as you mentioned but let's talk about what's going on here in this country the discussion about cutting spending has gone native the discussion here in washington and today we learned that one of the ways that president obama wants to do that is to cut federal mugs and t. shirts talk a little bit about this this is something we'll be talking about because while the president is trying to copy my water bottles travel expenses you know now departments will cut down to one driver instead of i guess they have more than that to get around d.c. well look at some of the perks that president obama has and now think maybe shared sacrifice means giving up some of those too because they come of the have to price tag christine certainly and we can't forget two about google department of defense that seems to get a whole lot of money lauren want to thank you lou it looks like there's a lot you guys are going to be touching on on this new show which is doing really well thanks christine well that's going to do it for now but for more on the
