hello is one i am here in moscow my name's kevin owen you're watching r t and our top story iran world backed down from its nuclear program in the face of any new sanctions so says the country's president to iran 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 i.a.e.a. is findings could be a pretext to an attack artie's garniture can's been looking into the case. the u.s. and france called 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 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
4:02 pm
counterproductive for example russia so for a 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 and instead russia put forward an offer which is still on the table and that is for iran to fully cooperate on the 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 said all options are on the table but despite tough
4:03 pm
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 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 hyped up fears that iran continues research on nuclear weapons the agency says its report is based on the intelligence gathered by a number of countries including the united states but the u.s. intelligence has a history of presenting false evidence. 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 with all this in mind analysts say the international community have to be careful as to how they interpret the evidence presented in the latest report on iran's nuclear program the question many are now ask is could the u.s. atomic watch start where port served as a justification to start
4:04 pm
a war with iran but security experts say the consequences to such action would be catastrophic going to teach you can only respond to some of the heart of the growing tension earlier today the past of the international atomic energy agency he told me he believes many simply don't understand just how far to run cooperates with the un's nuclear watchdog this report is not professional and not balanced and is with political motivation and under political pressure by u.s. and couple of the western countries this report has fifteen pages of the allegations and the materials which were handed over only last week to us in the company should read the term pages of the report of director general which says that all activities including a retirement are continuously under deceive guard inspection the only second part which is the an ex is about the american delegation the important thing is we are
4:05 pm
party to n.p.t. all activities are on their. guard and even hundreds of snapshot short visit unannounced inspections this is great and we took months to go invited depleted director general by to even visit the r. and d. of scientific richmond ten you give me any example that any respect or have been permitted to any certainty in any other part of the war. little is chris bambery believes by ganging up on iran the west and israel may well push to run the consider creating nuclear weapons even if it hasn't done so before. the british foreign secretary tonight threatened strong measures against iran and the light of this report and his french counterpart did the same i'm still waiting to hear the british threatening strong measures against israel who just the other week tested a voice thick missile capable of carrying nuclear warheads israel has a weak all you could program which was kept secret and which benjamin netanyahu.
4:06 pm
still will not reveal we know the britain and france many years ago provided you really in the original really into for that for that program in c. in secret meanwhile israel has also carried out an operation using an airbase unsolved in your thing if it's warplanes can go in there and come back in preparation for an attack on iran and why nato is allowing israel to use its base in sardinia for this purpose i don't know perhaps why i'm here could explain but instead we have the power which has used weapons america britain which is currently replacing its nuclear weapons trident and israel with its illegal and the secret nuclear program it and a country which has said it would use nuclear weapons if it was an 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 are going up and
4:07 pm
i think the danger is that if iran is not creating nuclear weapons it may well do saw in response to the continuing war drums been breached in western capitals and then enter tel aviv. thousands of demonstrators marched in central london venting their anger of education cuts and a tripling of chile should things around twenty campaigners were arrested but there was no repeat of the violent scenes witnessed on the streets at a similar demo a year ago artie's over bennett reports. how to speak there were over two thousand protesters here marching through central london with students coming from universities all over britain some as far afield as scotland even to join in the demonstration they were campaigning here against two things firstly the hike in choice and freeze for university students we charge next year treble what they've being charged now so up to nine thousand pounds per year to attend the british university and secondly against education cuts the ring proposed by the government
4:08 pm
that could see if it gets accepted private providers for the first time be able to offer degrees now the students saying that is big business profiting from their education and that's what they're angry about with a lot of placards with a 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 ever heal i mean this is something we need we really need the government to do because they're going up a whole generation of working class students are going to university is just what a portable so that they have a listen now for basic just like please try we're doing whatever we can we just ask you please just stop what you're doing and revive the train maybe even the government things that mean money and people rather than themselves in the name it and the whole reason why this is happening is not all and that's great i just want to make sure i got my name and they said yeah that's all. the demonstration was very tightly controlled with four thousand police lining the streets preventing any
4:09 pm
protesters from breaking free from the mapped out and planned out routes now since stark contrast to last year when. barely two hundred fifty offices were overwhelmed by protesters and those will be destruction to buildings vandalism and violence now to free and 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 nineham from the coalition for resistance this was an aggressive unnecessary provocation. 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 rubber bullets in preparation for this demonstration is absolutely outrageous i mean if anything was likely to increase the level of tension and increase the 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 but
4:10 pm
the police did deal with that very quickly keeping the protesters hemmed in in a very small area and only twenty arrests were made. those are of a better reporting from london for us. knows the end of an era for italy as promised to serve a berlusconi declares he's throwing in the towel after a scandal ridden decade in power his promise resignation comes with a precondition though the parliament passes a series of budget cuts to keep its sinking economy afloat our correspondent sara firth has more on what all this means for the embattled economy. we've seen a lot of concern today that it's least the latest usa in country to be sucked into a death spiral from which there might be navy turn now we saw it's these borrowing costs past that seven percent threshold that's extremely significant because that was the trigger point which we saw countries searches ireland portugal and greece when they passed it have to then ask for emergency bailout systems from the usa and
4:11 pm
the i.m.f. now is to say significant because it's the point at which investors have their risk threshold and start to look at countries such as this really with a very large debt and ask with interest rates that sort of level whether or not the country is 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 today extremely unprecedented rate really the year is a quite a squaring from one country to the next from the financial situation to a political situation of course italy has been a different now we know prime minister berlusconi has said that he's going to step down once a budget reforms have been passed he said he has no plans to stand for elections that she said he called for elections in february and he also put the name forward angeleno al found that someone who is quite close to berlusconi in his government
4:12 pm
is the minister of justice now of course is uncertain exactly what is going to happen because the decision about when if elections are going to be held doesn't lie with prime minister berlusconi lies to the italian president and he's yet to come out and say exactly what his plans are whether they'll be elections or possibly some kind of interim government of course we need to remember is that an interim government at this point too early elections is that solution a certainty that they're going to be able to push these necessary measures through that of course such a problem. in the first place and this is really what causes a much concern amongst the marketplace this is where if lee has the political will to push through these measures i mean it was being very very clear today if the new government how and when that will be formed it's not going to be a quick fix solution to the very critical situation. it is economic problems
4:13 pm
did not start with the crisis the country's been in a state of virtual economic stagnation ever since it joined the eurozone and for that power of phone founder of the policy development sippy foundation places much the play money you trade policies certainly what we see on the financial ground is the effect of a very strong speculative movement that is going on now for several months. in the economy and the top of the state to g.d.p. ratio was unsustainable in fact the problem of italy ease of course the debt not the major one is no growth the absence of growth which is imposed by the policies at european level and most of the german disease on how to handle the moment to really union this is causing the talk to them balance in the country i think we are edging towards
4:14 pm
a very dangerous area which of course will look create an impossible situation in the stock market the effect of this would be the collapse of the system but this would create a couse in the country instead of a solution. we were in greece which heads the line of countries destabilizing iraq talks about four million new government appeared to be deadlocked despite the promises earlier statements that politicians have finally reached an agreement george patton dreyer's delivered a farewell speech to the nation but hasn't either of fishley resigned or named a successor yet the talks now are to go into a fourth day and continue choose day this comes after weeks of political chaos that's put membership of the euro in jeopardy. violence is broken once again in syria the civilians reportedly coming under fire from police after thousands took to the streets this using your screens now as amateur footage released by a group opposed to the rule of president assad legibly shows military forces cracking down on demonstrations taking place in the northwest of the country
4:15 pm
activists say more than one hundred people have been killed in the region in the past week. and the earthquake in eastern turkey has caused the hotel and other buildings to collapse and some people reportedly trapped under the deborah the strong tremor registered five point seven in magnitude it follows another quake in the region a fortnight ago then it killed six hundred and cause huge damage leaving many people homeless nato peacekeepers have used tear gas to take control of one of the barricades in northern kosovo built by local serbs several months ago in an ongoing border dispute but the success of the k. four troops was short lived after a new block was put up further down the road the crackdown covers just days after the head of the un drew attention to the increasing number of attacks on serbs living in northern kosovo i spoke to political analysts alexander public she told me he believes there's a bigger picture by nato as 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
4:16 pm
control government in prishtina and they're doing it openly in spite of their mandate from the un which is supposed to be a peacekeeping mandate as you said to keep to the warring sides separated this is an aggressive show of force i mean they're acting like an occupier instead of peacekeepers they're behind the crisis in greece they're behind the crisis in iran what we're seeing right now is the slowing of the new world disorder and serbia is one of the flashpoints. correspondent alexy or jet skis visited the region to delve deeper into the causes behind the on going tension bases his report. that. perhaps not an old this venue for a wedding but this serbian couple living in northern ca civil decided to get married at the barricades and. to cool off were gathered together here and does no do it who would invent. this is distressing. this are barricades in northern kosovo have been standing for several months now for those
4:17 pm
who built them there are 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 the middle of it so which splits the town and the serbian and albanian parts it was called the bridge of friendship and 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 subs are unwilling to be 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 sound off to call the case for troops managed to demolish serbs built piles there are times when the two poles says take place simultaneously. and then you. and.
4:18 pm
people like you see. the. serbs 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 a nato contingent 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. in finding a way out we've built alternative routes through the mountains so now we can again receive supplies we prevented a humanitarian catastrophe when you order the orthodox priest of the town's brand new temple sat he has never been busier with all the people flocking in lately to pray for the well being of their families. kosovo has seen different hard times
4:19 pm
even being up at my birds turkey ones but series with stupid old heart tests of times and everyone and made sure that some news this land is the cradle of it's a culture and statehood. another deadlock in this balkan melting pot continues belgrade is still unwilling to resume negotiations with pristina which could put great to the 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 costa. in kosovo. coming up next as a programs continue an in-depth look at america's mideast policy right now michael shows a former cia officer whose responsibility is included in the past dealing with al qaeda he shares his views on this very matter here on this channel.
4:20 pm
we're sitting down with michael scheuer the man who had served in the cia for more than twenty years up until two thousand and four at one time he was the chief of the cia bin laden unit then he went and exposed how counter affective washington's methods were in the fight against terror he looked at the u.s.
4:21 pm
through its enemies eyes in fact it's the title of one of his books called through our enemy's eyes so i'm very pleased to have the chance to thank enjoy or i'm glad to be here bin laden is gone who is washington's number one enemy now washington's enemy is an enemy that doesn't exist we're fighting and in islam make enemy that washington believes is out to kill us because we have elections because we are free because we have women in the workplace is an enemy that doesn't exist to didn't 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 arab peninsula and israel itself as a country is not the problem the real problem margin 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 interest there imply that these three lobby is
4:22 pm
dragging the united states into the wars in absolutely they're absolutely dragging us in iraq was a war that was proffered was called for mainly to let me ask you this the situation in the region in the wake of all these revolutions in the middle east and north africa became pretty much describe it as turmoil turmoil is no good for israel isn't there a contradiction to what you're saying well the the american political establishment is caught between two things they're extremely put 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 libya or egypt that in any way resembles democracy in the west and yet they what they've done is create anarchy they've
4:23 pm
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 are you saying we're going to see further radicalization of the region always specially in africa yes ma'am the guns that are flowing out of the three places where there were arab spring revolts are going to cause problems in somalia across north africa and in nigeria if the region becomes a complete mess doesn't see any dangers to israel i mean with iran involved it won't be pretty i think that's exactly right ma'am i don't know what the thinking is except that they have come down in the belief that democracy is better for everybody in the truth is american and western foreign policy interests in the middle east have depended for fifty years on the maintenance of tyranny tyranny
4:24 pm
that davis access to oil tyranny that protected israel and 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 it seems the u.s. is almost creating ground so for terrorists to surge and then goes out fighting that we see it in pakistan they've got the whole nation alienated because of the strikes a lot of people want revenge how efficient is that we are very efficient in this. in age in the last twenty years in creating enemies how many times have we heard mr clinton mr bush mr obama say this has nothing to do with religion this is not a religious war this is a bunch of people who are just mad men we are definitely fighting a religious war and until we come to realize that we are never going to be able to defeat it in fact we're we're encouraging the growth of the next of
4:25 pm
a new generation of people who are going to fight us the u.s. is pulling its troops out of iraq but at the same time it's boosting its military presence in the persian gulf more ground troops are plans to be deployed new bases are being built what do you make of such expansion the ignorant it just demonstrates again the ignorance of the united states government in terms of its political leadership about what what what our problem is in the muslim world the the key point of formation for al qaeda was the presence of u.s. military forces on the arabian peninsula fifteen years after they declared war on us we're now going to take people out of iraq and put them in kuwait and bahrain and saudi arabia reinforcing our presence in the arab peninsula only going to cause us more falls and more enemies in the islamic world if the us pulls out out of everywhere yes is it going to be the end of terrorism it certainly would would deny
4:26 pm
the terrorists the glue of unity that keeps them focused on the united states if we weren't the main enemy they would be attacking israel they would be attacking the saudis they would be tack attacking the moroccans the war would be they would you say let them like let him go to saudi let them go as long as we're side by side with the with the saudis and with the israelis we're stuck in the middle east in america will continue to bleed dr thanks for the interview yes ma'am. culture is that so much of a taxpayer is limited to one hundred sixty m. a real commitment to be hero of crisis without and euro zone leaders and national governments continue to be a blogger heads on how to rescue a currency. move
