5:01 pm
sterritt imagine. twenty four hour news live from moscow this is actually with me thanks for joining us iran weren't a bag down from its nuclear program in the face of a new sanctions so says the country's president tehran denies it's trying to develop weapons as suggested in the latest report by the un's atomic watchdog a few days ago spoke of potential military action against iran raising fears that documents findings could be a pretext for an attack which russia says would be disastrous archie is going to trick and has 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
5:02 pm
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 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 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 what 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
5:03 pm
israel was hinting that they are gearing towards preemptive towards a preemptive strike washington said all options are on the table but despite tough rhetoric coming from both israel and the u.s. many agree that washington in 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 the question many are now ask is could the u.s. atomic watch start where port served as a justification to start
5:04 pm
a war with iran but security experts say the consequences to such action would be catastrophic the iranian ambassador to the international atomic energy agency believes many simply don't understand just how solid tehran cooperates with the un's nuclear watchdog this new port is not professional and not only with political motivation and under political pressure by the 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 a confidential manner read the term pages of the report of director general which says that all activities including a retread are continuously under deceive guard inspection the only second part which is there an ex is about the american delegation the important thing is we are party to n.p.t. all activities are on their. guard and even hundreds of sharks
5:05 pm
short visit unannounced inspections this is great and we go invited depleted director general by to even 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 war political and its crazed boundary believes by ganging up on a run the western israel may well have on to consider creating nuclear weapons even if it hasn't. the british foreign secretary tonight threatened strong measures against iran in a light of this report and 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 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 so
5:06 pm
benjamin netanyahu still will not reveal we know the britain and france many years ago provided you really i'm at the original really into for that for that program and see in secret meanwhile israel has also carried out an operation using a nato air base and solved in your query 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 to use its base in sardinia for this purpose i don't know perhaps william hague can explain but instead we have the power which has used tomic weapons america britain which is currently replacing its nuclear weapons trident and israel with its illegal and a secret nuclear program 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 i think the danger is that if if iran is not creating nuclear weapons it may well
5:07 pm
do saw in response to the continuing war drums been breached in western capitals and then enter tel aviv. and i would like to know how close do you think a military strike against iran now is and so far the majority of things in that time is imminent as it runs along with american and israeli interests sixteen percent doubt at all given that no one wants to see a bloodbath in the region ten percent think the whole thing still depends on tyrone's a willingness to cooperate if your thing will be a military strike only iran actually admits having a nuclear bomb please add your voice and undivided on the home page of. tripping up to sion fees and harsh education cuts have brought thousands of students onto the streets of london at least twenty four people have been arrested although police didn't use baton rounds despite early warnings either but it was there and saw how the protest was handled. how to speak there were over two
5:08 pm
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 that could see if it gets accepted private providers for the first time gail 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 that we need we really need the government to do because they're buying up a whole generation of working class students from going to university because just want a portable so that they either listen to now we're basically saying please try we're
5:09 pm
doing whatever we can we just ask you please just stop what you're doing and revive the trade say believe in 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 protesters from breaking free from the maps 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 down 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
5:10 pm
was under the impression that that was allowed in this country. what the announcement that was my 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 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 the police did deal with that very quickly keeping the protesters hemmed in a very small area and only twenty arrests were made. is there end of an era for lame as prime minister silvio berlusconi declares his throwing in the towel after a scandal ridden decade in power has promised to step down once parliament passes a series of budget cuts to keep the country sinking economy afloat but far from his pledge easing the crisis it's nearly plunge the country into even deeper economic trouble south that has more. we've seen
5:11 pm
a lot of concern today that it's least related to easing culchie 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 bell assistance from the usa and 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
5:12 pm
a quite a spreading from one country to the next from the financial situation to a political situation of course it's really has been no 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 was the minister of justice 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 and 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 absolutely no certainty that they're going to be able to push these necessary measures through that of course
5:13 pm
such a problem. in the first place and this is really what causes a much concern amongst the marketplace this is where italy has the political will to push through these measures and it was being 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 that. exists economic problems did not start with the crisis the country has been in a state of virtual economic stagnation and the sense of join the euro zone and that reform have found the policy and development see i.p.i. foundational places much of the blame on trade policy. certainly what we see on the financial ground is the fact of a very strong speculative movement that is going to go 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
5:14 pm
but the major award is no growth the absence of growth which is imposed by the policies or to repeat most of the german disease. hard to handle the moment three union this is causing a total them balance in the country i think we are edging towards 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. and who will be the new greek prime minister said remains no clearer after three days of political wrangling to form a new national unity government talks appear to be deadlocked and also continue despite current prime minister george papandreou earlier statement that agreement finally had been reached and he's expected to officially step down on wednesday but
5:15 pm
he did not say he'd resigned or name a successor in a final television address to the nation and his broadcast also included a pledge that greece would implement austerity cuts to obtain e.u. i.m.f. bailout funding. political deadlock of another kind elsewhere continues in northern coast where what term trends continue to remain high after at least three ethnic serbs were injured in a shootout with local albanians and also native. k f o r peacekeepers have fired tear gas at ethnic serbs to seize a one of their barricades in northern costa set up months ago they'll go in for dispute at the games where shop moved after a new road was attacked by local media report that here painted you know officials have come up with a new peace plan top get local serbs albanians and if you peacekeepers corporation . analyst alexander believes that as a bigger picture behind nations actions. they've been doing it for years now and
5:16 pm
they've broken their mandate actually they're doing the job of being in control government and 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 say to keep to the warring sides separated this is an aggressive show of force so we were being like an occupier instead of peacekeepers who were behind the crisis in greece they're behind the crisis in iran. we're seeing right now is the sawing of the new world disorder and serbia is one of the flashpoints. always correspondent executorship she has visited the region to delve deeper into the causes behind the ongoing tension. 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 and. to cool off were gathered together here in does
5:17 pm
there were two who would invent a well known way to stress that. the star 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 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 into 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 serbs 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 sand off the gold the k. four troops managed to demolish serbs built two piles there are times when the two
5:18 pm
pro sisters take place. here and then. and. 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 the nato contingent and political pressure from belgrade because civil servants have become accustomed to living in 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 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
5:19 pm
pray for the well being of their families. because of all his indifferent hard times even being my birds turkey ones but stories we've stewed all of times and everyone and made sure of it so now it's this land is the cradle of it's a culture and state. 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. r.t. reporting from cost. in kosovo. and to some other news from around the world to the main developing story of the hour now reports say at least three people have
5:20 pm

5:21 pm
were 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. through its enemies in fact it's the title of one of his books called through our enemies i am very pleased to have the chance to thank enjoyer i'm glad to be here bin laden is gone who washington's number one enemy now washington's enemy is an enemy that doesn't exist we're fighting and make enemy that washington believes is out to kill us because we have elections because we are free because we have women
5:22 pm
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 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 interest there imply that these three lobby is dragging the united states into the wars in actually clicked their absolutely dragonets 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 if you can pretty much describe it as turmoil turmoil is no good for israel isn't there
5:23 pm
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 and 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 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
5:24 pm
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 washington 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 that us 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 to 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
5:25 pm
that we see it in pakistan they 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 day and age in the last twenty years in creating enemies how many times have we heard mr clinton mr bush mr obama say that this has nothing to do with real. 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 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 boosting its military presence in the persian gulf more ground troops are pledged to be deployed new bases are being built what do you make of such expansion it just demonstrates again the ignorance of the united states government in terms of its political leadership
5:26 pm
about what what what our problem is in the muslim world 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 and more enemies in the islamic world if the us pulls out of everywhere yes is it going to be the end of terrorism it certainly would would deny 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 tax attacking the moroccans the war would be would you say let them like let me 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
