all surprise about the stumbling block is that iran wants to talk to the western powers the present catherine ashton is not ready for talks but they want to have their agenda followed step by step and that leaves that a letter written by ashton. has to be answered first the uranium right now don't want to answer in the way the west wants to hear so this is a real stalemate but over all i can see the situation is pretty serious since the with trying to misuse the peaceful nuclear program. which was peaceful so far they're not building a bomb definitely they're using fraudulent reports by the i was there twice i spoke to the diplomats this is a big scandal and they're using this in fact to you know build a war case against iran with the western populations through our misguided media a very dangerous situation meanwhile iran's president has reiterated his support

for a step by step plan proposed by russia aimed at resolving the nuclear stalemate over comments by mahmoud ahmadinejad were made in a phone conversation with his russian counterpart to meet him inventive under a plan which russia has suggested as an alternative to unilateral sanctions iran would respond to questions on its nuclear program one by one for each point cleared another set of sanctions on tehran would be eased or lifted altogether this proposal first made in washington into a lie last year has so far found no support in the west. we'd like to hear your opinions on this developing story head to the forum section of our website at r.t. dot com and get involved here's a look at how the numbers are looking so far some of the viewpoints on what's going on in company in the region one viewer says the west can do with out iran spoil in the long run and it's just provoking tehran to give an excuse for a military strike another poster is hopeful at least one of the sides will be

sensible enough to back out of an all out conflict because it could mean a nuclear war or another opinion is that the u.s. will attack iran as soon as possible that the machine in motion for america's presidential election later this year and another poster argues that tehran won't have the courage to carry out its threats and start a war think the west should go ahead and impose those sanctions but we want to know what you think go to the forum section at r.t. dot com to see more opinions and have your say. head of libya's transitional government has admitted the country could be sliding into civil war he says it's a likely outcome unless the m.t.c. manages to take control over militias and disarm them this follows a recent skirmish between armed groups in tripoli which left four dead meanwhile the country's justice system remains a source of concern with thousands remaining behind bars without ever having been charged oksana boyko reports. it was one of the first

amnesty of the. hundreds of men and women many of them sub-saharan immigrants released from a makeshift prison most of them spent several months in captivity for the crime of being in the wrong place at the wrong time. yes we are releasing those who didn't commit serious crimes those with blood on their hands will be waiting for the prosecutor's decision when you ask the richest were eager to paint the release as a goodwill gesture the detention and the parole seemed internally arbitrary. some of the dictator's supporters as these people to be just work for government agencies and others happen to be domestic helpers or government workers are now equal before the law or rather before the absence of it they are mostly in prison was triple his top detention facility under gadhafi notorious for its mistreatment and arbitrary killings of inmates but while all of its prisoners rest sat free in

late august as the rebels over in the capital dozens possibly even hundreds of makeshift prisons sprang up around the country according to u.n. estimates up to seven thousand allowed to get out there loyalists that being held there a little chance for justice or fair trial just a year ago the place used to be a school today demain last i'm being told here is that during the transition to democracy quick reactions are a must while many in the new libyan government held positions of power under gadhafi those who failed to jump on the bandwagon early enough and now finding themselves tugged behind bars. now in libya there are about a thousand people in detention and the problem is they haven't had any legal review they haven't had access to a lawyer they haven't been brought before any independent judicial panel or judges so that's what we're calling for now is a quick and promptly legal review and rebuilding the justice system the treatment

is even more brutal outside tripoli the town of to where a good the gadhafi forces used to launch attacks against misrata is still a ghost town many of its former residents live in refugee camps and even their extraordinary renditions by militia are common this man says he was tortured for several days before finally being released the loot he beat you until you confess to things you haven't committed like entering homes or looting it's a grueling dilemma many of these mothers and wives have to confront to pray. for their loved ones to be rotting in a prison with torture being officially acknowledged i do hope for their death children need their fathers and that women need their husbands the government isn't doing anything to find them if they're dead we want to know where they are more than a month since he's captured the most prisoners still doesn't have access to a lawyer and while many dollars see full islam's ability to have a fair trial he still appears to be better off than many of his country man at

least thanks to the limelight he's not running a risk of being executed like his father while many still are. artsy tripoli. meanwhile in syria over five hundred fifty prisoners involved in the anti regime uprising there have been released that's according to state t.v. it comes as arab league officials say the government has pulled out heavy weapons and tanks from civilian areas something activists have previously said was untrue the opposition groups also accused the massacres of misleading the league's observers by taking them to areas boil to the government as pressure builds on syrian authorities the country's foreign minister slammed the u.s. for interfering that's after washington sent an envoy to the arab league for talks on the latest developments london based political analyst chris bambery says western sanctions in syria are likely to be followed by intervention i think we will see for the sanctions and we should remember that sanctions worked in former yugoslavia and in iraq the prone to war there was

a way of softening up the those countries for direct intervention by nato and by american american forces the americans and its allies in the west are desperate to get a handle on the arab spring which is broken out that was one of the reasons for the intervention in libya of we want to create a loyal ally of the west in the region although i think it would difficult because of the rise of islamic forces there this is a very dangerous movement in my opinion and i believe that what will happen in two thousand and twelve there will be a western intervention american intervention in that region because our for that one because i think there is a logical work here which will which cannot be stopped no. it's coming up to ten minutes past the hour still ahead for you here on our team putting his money where your mouth is so we need an expert on your who filled in a gap in the market after the collapse of the soviet union setting up your own private dentistry business a lot of. this region stores from some of the world's rarest. but they also post

the longest timber mills and illegal hunters who stand to make a great profit here are to report on how some of the world's most beautiful predators are being preyed upon themselves and brush as far east. but first marking one of the lowest moments since the onset of europe's debt crisis more than two years ago the greek government has now publicly threatened to abandon the euro but warnings came from the prime minister lucas papademos as negotiations over one hundred thirty billion euro bailout package drag on with no end in sight the pm warned that the greek economy could enter an uncontrolled collapse as early as march more cash isn't secured creditors and greeks are at loggerheads with bankers refusing to write off any more debt or union say they won't make any more austerity concessions belgian business journalist you know hundred overt spreads believes that at this point there's only one option left for athens. the

greek government is realizing that there is likely no option left the greek economy is going down like a storm and i think we are now at the point where everybody in greece realizes that we cannot go on like this and that unrest even on a key in the country is becoming so much of a threat that some drastic things need to be done and my reading of what the greek government is doing is that they are trying to prove that they are looking for an alibi to offer to their public by which they can say well it's not our fault it's the international community that pushes us towards the exit of the euro zone and i think also here in europe at the brussels at quarters of the european commission people start to realize that really is no other way to solve the greek problem by than by an exit from the euro zone. well with the situation in the eurozone continuing to deteriorate both leaders and markets are placing their last hopes and

a fiscal union to guide the e.u. out of the crisis but according to the leading economist aereo calmer those hopes are misplaced. in my system does europe will not be able to form such a political union there is too much. to the countries to different. countries or to attach to their own so from different styles they have a hard time working together on international issues of iraq the union in europe is not all that strong. force if you work around brussels you feel like european union is for real but as soon as you are away from brussels and walk around to the country the rest of europe you see did cross was far away from from the and it's an old reality that people live.

leading economists there are a climber and his full interview was coming your way in just over an hour's time. with a huge step that debacle you might think that germany which has been bankrolling the block survival effort would be the most concerned but among many people there a bigger source of worry is the political system which many have said has gone rather stale and no longer represents ordinary citizens as r.t.c. corp is going to have reports it's led to an interesting phenomenon the rise of the country's pirate party. it looks like an ordinary scene at one of the many bars in berlin except there is one thing which makes this party totally different from all the others the parties they must get out and. the pirate part of germany that's right this is an annual meeting of a political party and all these people or i'm only it's eighteen thousand members across germany like me treat was tired of the mainstream and i was really

disappointed in. all this the same way. the faces. and the firefighter was really different one of the key differences apart from the style in general is a software system called liquid feedback allowing ordinary germans the opportunity to propose policies online the pirate stand for more transparency and freedom on the internet but when it comes to core issues like the economy and we don't have currently a stand on this this crisis maybe we'll have after the next federal convention but this wasn't a problem of the previous election for the berlin state problem a time when the poor party managed to win nearly ninety percent of the vote securing fifteen seats most people who act they say. just something new something fresh to me like because many germans believe that politics are crass to this time as the big players struggle with big economic and political issues the pirate party

doesn't even have an official stance on the eurozone crisis or the arab spring nevertheless it continues gathering more supporters i mean a coincidence or an alarming signal stream politicians the free democrats party which is anger merkel's federal coalition porter is the first to feel the change of support from voters actually last. along with another four local volts across the country a mainstream politics is also losing attractiveness. because there's often too little distinction or distinctiveness between different parties from different fields or areas sometimes it's even difficult to tell the difference between conservative and social democrats experts see the part parties key success to use the internet as the new driving force changing politics similar to the we it was influenced by t.v. where half a century ago so unless the mainstream parties damped and change their tactics it

minami to long before they could find themselves on the margins you're just going to have. germany. well the fallout from europe's financial troubles has now created an unholy rout the british government and the archbishop of canterbury are engaged in a better spate i should say over banking green on that exchange once and missed by archie's kaiser report coming your way at three thirty pm g.m.t. . the archbishop of canterbury blasted for comparing rioters and bankers as politicians urged him to focus on religion here is how david cameron's government chose to hit back who did they appoint to speak lord green a first pierpoint nor green he says oh poppycock this is not. bishop i think a lot of tests changed since two thousand and they actually and i think there has

been a lot of soul searching in the financial services industry quite right to. look down take the one across silence that is frank frank and face reality ok your entire study thing burnt down by terrorist bankers you know they're in the club with cameron rubbing uglies when you should be doing something productive. well now it's time for the latest in our pathfinder series focusing on ex-pat entrepreneurs who made their move into the russian market in the wake of the u.s.'s taurus collapse those were times when demand for good quality private dentistry soared and russia robert courtney was among those who managed not only to fill the gap but also make a fortune. i'm not sure that there is anything that can quite prepare you for doing business in

russia in the early ninety's which is when i first came it was a very very wild time in the business sense a wild time in the lifestyle sense and it required a great deal of energy and creativity to bring and create a western type of business here in russia the idea was actually a no brainer executing the idea was very very difficult there was a great deal of demand for dentistry so i decided to stay and start the first american dental clinic in russia if we take us dental care and the dentistry business for example you're looking at one difference i'm not a doctor but the principal owner of the business this business has thirteen practitioners all specialties from hygiene to the general dentistry to implants orthodontic such very rare to find in a place in the us or in london on the high street typically you have

a smaller office that's owned and managed by the doctor one to five dentists boarding staff and specialist sort generally organized separately doctors refer patients to each other here our place is not so unique for russia you tend to have specialists and generalists collected in one clinic under one roof starting a business here today is both easier and more difficult that what than it was in the past licensure in compliance with the rules was technically very difficult because things were less organized and enforcement was loose in those days it was possible to let's say not comply with everything and still get all today the rules or more modern or strict but at least if you follow the rules you know what to expect certainly there are a lot of myths about the risks of doing business in russia. the risks to the business itself let's say the survival of the business itself are no bigger here than they are elsewhere this is a country economy and a market that's growing at

a really really rapid pace. will come just addicted to starting new businesses that are interesting it was a radical change from being a lawyer to dentistry it's just the nature of my story what you see here tonight is the world of specialty retail these specialty retailers everything that goes on in the corridors of shopping malls not in the in line shops and it's all about creating impulse to purchase which means creating beautiful designs that make interesting and simple products something that people want to stop and buy and enjoy until retail profile brought this business to russia four years ago this type of retail didn't exist right there no shoppers here it's past midnight here in moscow and the reason we're here is that everything people see in the carters and the shops of shopping malls the beautiful stuff takes place at night people restock remerging diets redesigns and that's what this team is doing now the most difficult thing about setting it up doesn't compare with the story i told you about dentistry

because we did it four years ago life and business here was already mature and civilized so the difficult thing was having to grow the business as quickly as the demand for it is if you compare the business life of somebody like me in san francisco in atlanta or boston you'd find people say that tomorrow is going to be similar to today if you ask me are people like me doing business in russia you'd say you have a hope that tomorrow is going to be similar to today but down deep you know something's going to be new something's going to change on the one hand the drives you crazy because as humans we crave predictability but on the other hand we're all addicted to the fact that something new is happening all the time. it's twenty one minutes past the hour let's check on what else is happening around the world a wave of explosions in iraq has killed fifty seven people and wounded more than

one hundred the deadliest attack within the country south claiming the lives of these thirty she had pilgrims meanwhile in baghdad a bomb attached to a motorcycle went off near a bus station and was followed by three other explosions afterwards the violence has raised fears insurgents are stepping up attacks after the u.s. troop pullout last month. former israeli prime minister ehud olmert has been indicted on corruption charges he's accused of taking bribes to promote the construction of housing projects and dates back to before his time and all fits omar is already on trial for three unrelated counts of fraud and breach of trust but tonight all charges. in australia a massive bushfire near perth airport has been brought under control by firefighters working throughout the night tain it was ripped through sixty five hectares of land prompting the evacuation of residents from their homes the fire is still poses a threat to local people who've been warned to remain alert to changing weather

conditions. and we continue to explore all corners of russia in our close up series today we're taking you to the region in the far east eight thousand kilometers from here in moscow. for a long time has been a safe haven for a huge range of rare and remarkable animals including the siberian tiger but with major industries advancing into this picture perfect coastal region much of the wildlife is coming under threat argues tom barton takes up the story. feeding time polluted the tiger he was found starving in the forest as a six month old cub he's now nineteen years old has a pair of platinum false teeth and as a siberian tiger he's one of an increasingly scarce breed in this region's forests

a home to some of the world's rarest big cats but they also host the loggers timber mills and illegal hunters who stand to make a great profit here and whose activities have pushed those same leopards and tigers to the brink of extinction. loued miller looks after the tigers there's deer in fact just about any injured forest animals that arrive at her center as well as poachers it's forestry the impact it has on local pub attacks that concerns her to go. to tigers need a lot of territory to survive there can be a lot together when there's forestry the animals they prey on are scared off and so the tigers have to leave killing it off so what it really comes down to is russia's endless forests being assaulted by the power of industry this new timber factory in the far east eats eight hundred thousand cubic metres of wood a year and it's expanding but they're not concerned by forestry saying they're

responsible obvious that there was another name that is trees are a new bill resource unlike coal oil we plant trees to replace the ones we cut down so they'll be plenty for the next generation environmentalists paint a very different picture they say there aren't even reliable records of the rampant tree cutting and warn that russia's forests aren't as endless as the timber barons think. it is when we tell officials at the so little untouched forests remain vulnerable they only industrialists get very out of the way they say environmental organizations are trying to shut down their industrial or will there are others trying to replace lost forest this local government project harvests and sorts pine seeds. grows them into samplings and then plants them but they admit that the planting just isn't keeping pace with the felling but also bored in an ordinary year with no place looking losses but if there's a forest as well or it could take us ten years to catch up with force we're losing
