beginning of the pro-democracy protests in manama almost a year ago the repression was total with help from saudi arabia and the emirates so the same persian gulf monarchies were saying now to the world we must intervene on the behalf of people in syria they would smash their own people in any possibility of an arab spring in any of the six special goals mark. what's ahead for you this crippled stability in the eurozone bailout fund now downgraded top bankers say it's time to do without credit ratings the house why in a few minutes. and that's thousands of children in india disappearing did investigate what's behind the frightening trend. iran says it won't resort to terrorism to avenge the data smatter of one of its nuclear scientists the speaker of the iranian parliament accused israel and the u.s. of using such tactics desperate bid to stop tehran's nuclear program the number of

western officials have spoken out recently about possible military action against iran and as our teams play reports many in israel say covert war may already be on the way. from this rather spartan recording studio in jerusalem one israeli jew has been reaching out to people in iran for fifty two years ties between tel aviv in tehran off a bit in but it's never stopped menasha amir from reading the news in farsi every night and hosting a weekly show for listeners in the persian world to share their views he thinks around a million rain ians tune in and the topic they most want to talk about the possibility of a foreign attack on iran and they are very much afraid that the iranian nuclear installations will be bombed by a foreign powers where they're israel or the united states or any other country but it's not only the rain ians who are suspicious of israel or america taking action people here in israel since something's in the air you can see signs of wink and

nod from israeli officials when talking about it israel is signaling to the world. if the world doesn't do anything if the wall doesn't call for more fierce actions for more crippling sanctions quoting the secretary of state clinton then israel would take the initiative and strike along some wonder if israel hasn't already declared an unofficial war on terror and what suspicions raised further after the assassination of another iranian nuclear scientist earlier this month while on his way to work putting everything together it is clear that whoever it is but if someone or somebody or some agency is very successful in infiltrating understanding last subaltern the iranian nuclear project. the attack is the latest in a series of mysterious accidents linked to iran's nuclear program two aircraft accidents in the space of three years scientists disappearing equipment damaged and computer

government has created an artificial crisis that's first and foremost it's a manufactured crisis iran is complying with the. iran does not have a nuclear weapon iran is not threaten its neighbors iran has not started a war with any of its neighbors israel on the other hand has hundreds of nuclear weapons and unlike iran refuses to sign the nuclear nonproliferation treaty does not allow. inspectors into its country so there's not really a nuclear menace or a nuclear danger from iran and so what is the cause what's the cause of the crisis of the artificial crisis the real goal is the united states government has embarked on a course of extreme economic aggression against iran with the hope that by creating economic suffering economic isolation economic misery that part of the population will rise up or become disenfranchised with the government so that the u.s. can do as it has in history carry out regime change where there's more news in

based grading agencies have played since the greek crisis erupted in december of zero nine has been what many people here see as a brazenly political role and it happens to be that they preemptively downgrade greek sovereign debt just when european leaders in march of two thousand and ten were coming to an agreement in principle they downgraded to junk status foreseen a massive selloff of greek debt by pension funds i don't think they're there on biased i don't think they're the independent agencies that they portray themselves to be they enjoy a very curious role in being blind to the. problems in companies like g.e. just before the september two thousand and eight explosion there that caused a global systemic shock and as well be the background to the whole subprime crisis they were asleep at the switch many times when it comes to the interest of

the wall street banks the so-called gobs of money banks like goldman sachs or others they tend to be rather levy and when it comes to the interests of european institutions they tend to be rather aggressive which leads many europeans that i talk with to think that the rating agencies are simply an extension of the u.s. political apparatus the treasury and wall street. or the head of the european central bank is now calling on investors and regular basis to ignore the ratings agencies france maintains that it's downgrade changes nothing but at least is inadequate governance is today but it's it we talked around found the political think tank quote it seemed reconciliation who believes the single currency was a mistake to begin with. org. and when you look at the reality of the past twenty years the european union has changed very little by the way if we remember back then with all that we were still having referendums on such decisions as the mass treat referendum got through but in the second referendum on

the lisbon treaty the french voted no in our land they voted no it was rejected by the people but then forcibly voted in by m.p.'s it is clear that this representative democracy actually represents no one at all today the european union is scared of the people and of consulting the people the european union was meant to bring down unemployment bring prosperity security but instead it brought on employment the adoption of the euro inflated prices because de industrialization especially in france it may be better for germany they could do but it's an economic disaster the euro is exploding the single currency is a technical in possibility europe of twenty seven countries cannot work or we see that this huge thing is crumbling and is only brought negative effects of practically with merkel and sarkozy meeting every three days it's getting ridiculous now there's a summit every three days it's no good it's close to collapse. before they.

a lot easier back then to stay and survive thirty years ago they could just go in and easily open a pharmacy now no young pharmacist really they already come with a lot of student loans and they really can not all pain that kind of money his two daughters are also pharmacists i would much rather be in my own business or at least a family business. most of say naps fellow graduates ended up working for big companies . to at least have a steady paycheck none of them started their own business it has now become a common tendency for the young in the us stark difference with the eighties but many can't find even such relative stability these days according to a report by peter hart research associates a quarter of workers under the age of thirty five in the us can't pay their monthly

almost seventeen million people packed into its crowded city streets new delhi is the perfect place for people to get lost but some don't just get lost they disappear that's what happened to raul kumar's twelve year old son ravi he went missing one year ago when he left the house to get his bicycle but never returned. i don't know who took my son away i looked for him everywhere but i couldn't find him. and ravi is far from the only one in delhi alone anywhere from two to five thousand children go missing every year while in india as a whole a staggering eight hundred thousand disappear and it takes a dreadful toll on families kumar hasn't been able to hold down a steady job or stay healthy his only focus is finding out what happened to his son but the answer is likely a grim one most children who disappear in delhi end up as sex workers or slaves

a studio but the kids are kept in places where no one will be able to find them they're also kidnapped for the organ trade business that don't sion and also for the beginning but. kumar a son like most missing kids in delhi was alert away while playing from a poor neighborhood like this one many family members of missing people say that they believe that they're often ignored by police because they lack money and power and in many cases they're asked to pay i have to be if they ever want to see their loved ones again i told the police they only say that maybe my brother is somewhere in the park or sleeping in some temple or staying at a friend's place delhi police say that while they know they face a massive problem things are getting better while in the past eighteen children in delhi would go missing every day this year that number is closer to ten organisations working to help the families of the missing say that while the police need to do more they're overburdened and understaffed. we're also trying to

pressure the court to order the police to take serious steps in this issue to watch out for the child in railway stations and bus step potion but this comes as little comfort to parents like rao kumar who feels as if he's tried everything he continues to visit ravis untouched bedroom every day holding on to the memories they shared my son used to sleep on this bed with me the house seems empty without him and i don't know way. just lying clinging to whatever hope he can that his desperate search for the son he loves will one day and well reassure either party new delhi india well let's cross over the business that's now enjoying taxing. the welcome to the business program the ruble has ignored warnings from the fitch writing agency which is load its forecast for russia and even gained percent
