a warm welcome from cosmic colleagues aboard the international space station. also ukraine and russia have agreed on a new prize to not chill down to the details in business in twenty minutes. thirty pm in moscow i matricide good to have you with us here on r t our top story the u.n. nuclear watchdog is discussing iran after delivering its harshest report yet claiming to iran could be developing an atomic bomb and it was evidence from a foreign expert that some western media wrongly claim to be russians saying he's helping iran build a detonator is art he's a nice and now a reporter with empire on the sentiment at a high yes' findings could see it following the iraq game playing. iran has long been a hot topic. but. the

greatest threat that america and the world faces had faced was 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 questions that aren't actually heard is called at the new century science who is it's a russian by some western movie even though the i.a.e.a. report doesn't name him and he's not russian by ukrainian any year here's how former weapons inspector david albright talks faster to scientists nuclear credential on c.n.n. with weapon show them how to build of a thin hemispherical shell with holes in it and it where the detonation happens and you simultaneously set off explosive pellets in a series of holes in that opening of shell and those explosive pell pellets ignite

the high explosive underneath and in a very spiritual way it compresses the core and then you get a nuclear explosion which is known then you know is a scientist but not a nuclear specialist those who actually know down in say this. he worked in a nuclear facility but not every person who does is a nucleus specialist he's actually trained to construct airplanes and it's not the i.a.e.a. that is question here now but journalists nevertheless all right accuses the young guy who specializes in the no 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 specter outright has history out pointing fingers just as for iraq was invaded he said this in two thousand and two. 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 no

w m d's were just covered in iraq. if there are no weapons of mass destruction i'll be mad as hell i certainly accepted the administration's claims of 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 if it is the case iran does not have a nuclear weapons program diplomatic days are 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 the way are 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 and he's now artsy moscow. we want you to tell us how justified you think the nuclear allegations against iran really are participate in our online poll here's how the results stuck out right now there's almost a pretty even split just under a third are actually calling for iran to go nuclear i don't know about that while slightly fewer see it as a western triggered campaign about a quarter say the claims are probably justified but there is not enough evidence on the rest are utterly convinced that iran is building a bomb add your voice to the debate we'd love to hear from you click on r t dot com . the birthplace of the occupy wall street movement in the u.s. has been cleared out of new york court has bad demonstrators from returning to set up camp as a comedy park after their tents were forcibly removed by the n.y.p.d.

activists mounted a legal challenge authorities decided they could only return without their tents or sleeping bags or he's wearing a port now has the details. the scene here is a pretty park has literally been turned on its head and that's because all the occupied protesters and activists and supporters are standing on the outside of the park behind barricades and inside of the park a particular bridge over here occupying zuccotti park are police officers in riot gear police officers in regular uniforms and also albert 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 optimists camped out there a pretty good community a community did to get out the message about wealth inequality but of course that

community was shut down to stay one am when off hundreds of police officers raided this area that he waited hundreds of activists are there were of course that police officers even use knives to grip over the tents that people were sleeping and there were huge clashes between up because that was decision to keep the park and police officers forcing them out first the reports and video of police using batons pepper spray maze against accident that refused to leave alternately everyone vacated about two hundred people were arrested but the property inside was destroyed and the full to the food and medical supplies new york city mayor michael bloomberg said the park needed to be evacuated temporarily for health concerns he was concerned that it was becoming up concert and so the park was cleaned out mayor michael bloomberg said that these activists could go back it but not with their

sleeping bags stopped their chances are 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 get by the time thing got to be pink because they made for the t.v. momentum he did with some of the activists taking part of the movement now work part time the event is what i've heard as you can see the campaign is not giving up it is maybe even been inspired by the resistance that recently big course when it marks the month anniversary they think that the city can expect many more demonstrations to come. more night. still to come on r t syria as syria gets shut out r.t. takes a look at someone maybe pulling the strings the arab league taking a tough stance on one of its own but we investigate if there is an outside

pull it off. greece's new leader used to be voice president of the european central bank it's a nice new preview and explains the of the blues it's a good. i've been saying to so mario monti's first actions in charge prove he's there to help fellow going because his people want one of the first things. we have to see financial stability of course will take care of the social problems that is just bubbles we have a government led by a banker that he wasn't even elected in the first place and he's not going to seek reelection so he can do whatever he pleases without having to go back to his previous post after two three years but the e.u. says the institute for democracy in corporations john local and brussels has put into men who continue with going to not support the public the way they predict this is good. actually office the moment you suggested

a referendum on the get back in school new actually office the moment he said that italians should come under the euro be useful to have insisted on elected officials taking charge in italy and greece off to those countries leaders questions the reforms being imposed on them but that's open brought up the charges of being dictatorial and the democratic one politicians think this is a warning to all e.u. leaders who try to help their population oppose all spending cuts and you have to go all of it can be done in italy. it can be done in greece it's only a matter of time. before it can be done anywhere else good financial analyst makes causes of things because of the very worst sort to put in charge at this time people say well the bankers know best well the bankers are the ones who have stolen all the money so are we going to give them more ability to steal more money and oppose more austerity measures that's insane but there are signs the e.u.

may have gone too far with anger boiling over it's so biju spirity measures demanded. seventy people have been injured in protests in italy while greek civil servants. the teach is weak tell to choose the open and pynchon cause i think this is gearing up for more oil and it's a noble public demonstration on thursday in brussels the new push to forty. as the technocrat take over creates thirty year olds only concern for some is that they could do more harm than the elected politicians later a dutch hero m.p. explains why those taking charge seem to do more talking than sorting. every time they have a summit in and they will proclaim that they found a solution a solution only last one or two weeks and then another crisis we have another summit i will now go in leaping from summit to summit the man in the street is worry that the men in the street doesn't know where this is going to end and they're worried because of their savings because of their current pensions

difficult and because of their jobs and so are the many industries has the real question which is that you would be leading the league is not in charge and there's no way to go and there is not an easy solution to. the your community has always thought it we're doing the right thing for the citizens and they have to be grateful and what we do should not be challenged and now it is challenged in the streets of of greece and italy and at the ballot box in germany and in finland and this is a message i think the european union still has to understand. here more thoughts on how europe can pick itself up from dutch hero emptied turkey i think in just over an hour here at r.t. . president obama has arrived in australia to deepen u.s. military presence there up to two hundred fifty marines will be based in the north

and could eventually reach up to twenty five hundred personnel on the ground there's also an agreement to open australian bases to u.s. aircraft for some perspective on this i'm joined by justin cutting from darwin a residence again war good to have you with us so the u.s. has its presence in more than one hundred thirty countries why do you think it wants more troops in australia well i mentioned it is. analysts who describe it could be repositioning refocusing on their region but i think another aspect is that maybe some of those other communities that skin around the world and tolerating when you look at the u.s. has a base in australia which was used for a missile strikes on iraq do you think there should be concern for other countries in the pacific in striking distance possibly including china. look. i really don't have the expertise to answer that question yes we do have another u.s. base in the central history which is also an open territory and. don't

resist insurgents will oppose any u.s. presence in the streams we see who owns regenerates missions. relations you know region. what's the view among us trillions about being more closely allied with the us military at least with the ones who you talk to. people around here are quite happy with the americans we're quite happy with truly alone it's with america we're not in something of a troop presence you know and having a foreign military presence changing the nature of the way we relate to it and it's . what do you think needs who needs who more australia needs us or the us needs australia. i think we all need each other i think we must admit. it will truly truly unseat the way we should be reaching out regional neighbors

it's true and each in turn it's. all right thanks very much for perspective justin study from darwin residents against. syria's leadership is said to face even greater isolation in the coming hours as the arab league needs to formally suspend the country's membership damascus says it will boycott the meeting to decision was made along with other sanctions last saturday in an attempt to force the regime to end its crackdown on anti-government protesters and meanwhile syrian defectors have attacked a military base near the capital damascus using rockets and machine guns november already the bloodiest month on record since the uprising started in march at least one hundred forty people have died in the last three days alone nato nations and now arab gulf states alone basking in the regime neighboring turkey says it will cut electricity supplies and stop joint oil exploration projects if the assad regime doesn't change course you would nuclear watchdog also adding to the pressure

on syria for its covert atomic work which online journalist patrick hayes though sees as an extension of the west will in the area. well i think increasingly the arab league you know hardly representative in many ways of the middle east and people you know you have saudi arabia bahrain other regimes that you know how that is the done similar things to what the syrian government is doing now basically acting here is an extension of the international community and i think really in that sense they are effectively kind of pandering to western interests because really america is no longer feels it can assume its oath or see in the region in the same way that you see so now hides behind troops like the arab league like for un like the i.a.e.a. which we saw the other day to weapons inspections in both syria and iran at the moment in order to try in effect simply go behind the scenes be dishonest he's these kind of organizations has almost puppet groups of boys the western interests
