ordinary people here now the military is trying to respond it is holding emergency talks at the moment to try and deal with late last night's away sick nation of the cabinet the what we have at the moment from the minute a council is that they want to have a prime minister in place before they accept this crazy nation of the government and a name being bandied about is mohamed al baradei the former head of the international atomic energy agency and he has indicated that he would be prepared to take this position for the media to cancel is also holding emergency talks with various political parties to try and deal with the situation but that is a soft cry from what we see happening on the ground here in toughness where any talk of elections next monday of course it's supposed to be the parliamentary elections it's far from people's minds people here saying that they are intent on completing this revolution the term being used is that this is the second revolution to make sure that all the dreams all the hopes and all the aspirations

and watching artsy moscow has lashed out at new u.s. sanctions against iran saying they go against international law and will make future negotiations difficult washington announced the move against tehran on monday after the u.k. and kind of similar actions are the measures or of the latest report from the un's nuclear watchdog claiming that iran is once again working on a building an atomic weapon a new sanctions target iran's main roads are designed to make it more difficult for the country to develop and maintain its oil and gas sectors the us secretary of state hillary clinton warned the increasingly aggressive actions against the country will continue and other governments to put pressure on iraq as well but it's our author and journalist david lindorff aggression towards iran could bring dire consequences. molde the signs are looking exactly like they looked in the period of two thousand and one and he doesn't three here in the u.s.

with this you know drumbeat of hysteria. and weapons of mass destruction every leader of the united states keep seeing all. on the table bit seeing that any invasion is on the table and israel of course i trust it will be threatening to attack i mean if you really want to get a country to get a nuclear weapon and just keep threatening it with attack the sanctions will probably have a negative effect on the u.s. goals of trying to drive a wedge between people in their government because people get so angry at the same actions and see them as a threat so i think what you'll see in iran is probably something similar with the rallying by people to their government and to the you know nationalistic feelings when they're under attack from treasuries like the united states and israel. the world could be standing on the precipice of a third world war nuclear annihilation if any action is taken against iran it's

a clear warning from a former u.s. senator mike gravel you can watch its full interview next hour here on state but for now creating. this whole ginning up for a war with iran very dangerous because iran is not syria not lebanon and iran is a nation and they have missile capabilities they won't have nuclear capabilities but they have missile capabilities that they can rain down on television you know i can kill you if they are attacked they will attack back and israel is so vulnerable and so small that they will retaliate they'll use nukes you could start a third world nuclear war but you're responsibly attacking iran. so good to have you with us today syria's ambassador to the united nations has

destabilizing the country i would not call this a civil war by any stretch of the imagination what you're dealing with here are death squads you're dealing here with terrorist commandos it's a joint production of c m i six most of the. of the french after libya becoming a bloodbath with one hundred fifty thousand dead and now with egypt showing what it was all along it was no revolution there it was a complete failure and now people are beginning to understand it notice that nevertheless mrs clinton and miss rice at the united nations are continuing to push this flanker up the strategic model of the color revolutions the cia people power called backed up by terrorist groups people from al qaeda people from the muslim brotherhood i've heard this from some very important religious authorities here there's a growing movement inside the islamic community here which says we want reconciliation

italy i speak with economists my chalet desegregate about why when it comes to finding a solution to the crisis the people seem to be being left out of the equation what we've seen happening to crisis has seemed to a lot of people very very confusing do you think this sense of economic and political games there is maybe going to fires they'll close take it back and give the decision to the people here this is affecting rising go through the ground for all those sort of around the group. and i think. they were there was also a bit. the caption dres suggestion of a referendum and police by his shop x. and it eventually people are going to have to be asked what they want is quite strong here is a resurrect the old turn as if they're being inside the year it has become

this is not going to save us because as you look us these austerity measures are going to be there is no way out for greece either for the other counties of the eurozone these are the lack of democratic legitimacy not only we cover our prime minister that never has never been elected but they try to impose us policies that are completely out of touch with a majority view that is the key not all the case so far democrats can see much of but also is not. the old political party system is completely bankrupt completely discredited and unfortunately we can look to get cover our via our political identity this political has been if it cannot be article classic one without any kind of democratic and political entity must so this kind of period of about dealing with a problem with the is not going to last both because. you claim meant ineffective

millions of deaths worldwide. russian the u.s. have teamed up to crack down on drug producers in afghanistan as a result of joint operations a number of major labs were destroyed there but there is a stark difference in how russian the u.s. see the solution to the problem is that we're all metaphorically speaking instead of destroying the machine gun nest this is just catching bullets flying from the machine guns we suggest eradicating narcotic plants altogether as long as there are over him poppy fields there will be trafficking as simple as that but the u.s. and other nato countries have no intention to eradicate afghan poppy fields once and for all they say afghans need opium poppies to survive another inconsistency the issue of when you come up with the us together with a colombian government eradicates two hundred thousand hectares of coca pushes a year in afghanistan only two thousand hectares of poppy fields are being around a kid one hundred times less apart from the refusal to get rid of the poppies there is the alleged interest of international banks in dirty money there kardex have

nearly as much air in the total world trade as oil and gas they have russia's drug enforcement suggested u.s. and european banks casserly welcome and encourage the inflow of drug money and that is because the reports show that a persistent lack of liquidity and an aspiration to survive during a crisis promote not only tolerance toward criminal money but also encouraging attitude of availability of so. money there was silent consent in the u.s. audience to the russian proposal to stop the banks from laundering drug money we can see is this of narcotics we can make a real state of traffickers but we really need to choke off the farm supply because there was also a sense of get out where the western authorities can actually take on those very powerful financial institutions the u.s. and other nato countries are obviously not include the idea of eradicating afghan poppy fields altogether besides you know national banks don't seem to mind these
