threat that america in the world faces at faced with a nuclear iran but it's heated up since last week's report from the un's nuclear watchdog sparking fears iran was pursuing atomic weapons the i.a.e.a. says iran developed a high explosives initiation system a detonator with the help of a foreign expert question that current expert is called the mystery scientists and russian by some western media even though the i.a.e.a. report doesn't name him and he's not russian but ukrainian it here's how former weapons inspector david albright can't suffer the scientists nuclear credentials on c.n.n. weapons show them how to build of a thin hemispherical shell with holes in it and where the detonation happens and you simultaneously set off explosive pellets in a series of holes in that are going to shell and those explosive pellet pellets

ignite the high explosive underneath and in a very spiritual way it compresses the core and then you get a nuclear explosion it just. is a scientist but not under clear specialist those who actually know danny and say this. he worked in a nuclear facility but not every person who does is a nucleus specialist he's actually trained to construct an airplane and it's not the i.a.e.a. that is questioning him now but journalists nevertheless all right accused is going to come who specialized in nano diamonds in iran working with the iranians to help them miniaturize their nuclear warhead so they can put it on top of one of their missiles so it can be fired or old right has a history of pointing fingers because before iraq was invaded he said this in two thousand and two. in. terms of the chemical and biological weapons iraq has those now how many how could they deliver them i mean these are big questions then

backtrack to the l a times once known w m d's were discovered in iraq. if there are no weapons of mass destruction i'll be mad as hell i certainly accepted the administration's claims on chemical and biological weapons i figured they were telling the truth and some u.s. politicians think non-truths could be repeating with iran and i'm afraid what's going on right now is similar to the war propaganda that went on against iraq and you know they didn't have weapons of mass destruction but there were enough official reports implying otherwise in terms of the report there is limited information a lot of the reason it's limited is because it's most likely that iran does not it is you know it is the case in iran does not have a nuclear weapons program there is no magic days of who could be called critics say the public especially in the us are about to be inundated with another flood of

so-called expert analysis be aware of a dangerous mideast country that's presumably hiding secret nuclear weapons and may require a military strike the difference this time it's iran not iraq he's now artsy moscow well it's he has been hearing concerns over the suppose at prep work for a move on iran at least experts professor such as mannish says america is using any excuse to pressure iran and prepare the ground for attention invasion. the individual has actually you know. he's in new york. he's here since. the chemo was that he was actually giving lectures in the iran. nuclear scientists and he was helping them we . hear reported fury very.

restricted or. so. only so strange. and reports we were here and. if there. are almost the whole was the neutral war. well. yes it seems to be have. been used in an instrument. of war actually to do regime change in iran secretly. rodney's down the birthplace of the occupy wall street movement in the u.s. has been cleared out a new york court has plans demonstrators from setting up camp at zuccotti park after their tents were forcibly removed by police activists about that legal challenge and therefore it is decided they could only return without their tents or

sleeping bags going up at night as the details. the scene here is a crowded park has literally been turned on its head and that's because all the occupy protesters and activists and supporters are standing on the outside of the park behind barricades and inside of the park and take a look right over here occupying zuccotti park are police officers in riot gear police officers in regular uniforms and also a what is believed to be private security on the top of the property owners of zuccotti park quite a stark difference from the past eight weeks that we've seen hundreds of occupy wall street up to camps out there creating a community of unity to to get out the message of out wealth inequality but of course that community watch shut down to say one am when the hundreds of police officers raided this area that you waited hundreds of activists are there were

boards that police officers even use knives to rip over the tents that people were sleeping and there were huge clashes between optimus that resisted the park and police officers that were forcing them out first the reports and video of police using the times for spray maze against our attitude is that refused to leave ultimately everyone vacated about two hundred people were arrested but the property inside was destroyed and the books the food the medical supplies new york city mayor michael bloomberg said the park needed to be evacuated temporarily for health concerns are you just concerned that it was becoming a concert and so the park was cleaned out mayor michael bloomberg said that these activists could go back it but not that they're sleeping that stop their chance of making it much harder for them to withstand the cold temperatures in the coming weeks the occupy wall street movement

a movement that and marking its two month anniversary on thursday. many people believe that that is the reason why the advice eat up and dropped it was sweeping really because this movement is gaining momentum pretty good to be with some of the activists that take a part of the movement that were part of the reason that is what occurred as it stands this campaign is not giving up it is maybe even been inspired by the resistance that recently things force one of marx's two month anniversary they say that the city can expect many more demonstrations about the work i was free for him or not or to. it's been a turbulent two months for the occupy movement christian facade looks at how it started and why it spread so rapidly across the u.s. . you could say it started with a whisper a call by canadian activist group and busters that spread on facebook.

this very spot wall street is a sign of weakness crime but before long that whisper turned into a roar with. a collective anger at wall street corruption a growing income inequality in america and at a system in which government policy is often dictated by corporate greed and before long the crowds brought police. and police brought pepper spray. to the story brought on more protesters and a few days later seven hundred of them were arrested on the brooklyn bridge. instead of scaring people away scenes like this. since and before long occupy movements multiplied from los angeles.

to chicago. to boston. and just about everywhere in between the mood grew darker as authorities threaten to clear the ten city at zuccotti park at the last minute they were allowed to remain after clearing the park themselves. occupy times square was next and brought scenes like this is not where. the government in. iraq war veteran shamar thomas fighting what had become in his eyes wide spread police brutality he appeared on our show a few days later they're saying if you want to fight go to iraq or afghanistan what do you mean by this you know to hurt the citizens that you swore to protect you know this is kind of you know a contradiction to the oath that you take and then there was occupy oakland here you see another veteran scott olsen standing peacefully. within moments he was hit

in the head with a tear gas canister fractured his skull and left him can pretty good condition what a lot of the shot a spotlight now shining bright on a roll of police all the while the protests spread much to the dismay of authorities who over the weekend if they did encampments once again in oakland. and in portland. st louis to name a few and new york's zuccotti park the heart of the movement also clear for the first time since the movement began now many worry what's next for occupy d.c. so one of the first things they did here is to clear this part of the park protesters tell me they've moved their tents closer to one another they say they've condensed their efforts because they want to stay focused they want to stay. organized i think there's a chance that some of the protesters and the other occupations around the country could wind up here on k.
