and spy drones are just the tip of the security iceberg for the u.k. as a threat is itself for the greatest show on earth taking the possibility of a terrorist attack seriously one summer olympic preparations are calling on all corners of the nation's dances as a band of reports such measures may not only turn the capital city but simply prove to be ineffective. spectators may know who they're watching at the olympics but they won't know who's watching them surveillance drones like this could be circling the skies of london this summer police may use the spy cameras in their lympics anti terror attack tics it will leave no hiding place the drones can make out a car's number plate from heights of up to one kilometer privacy campaigners fear

is the start of a slippery slope i think our salute tragedy for britain the largest part of the olympic legacy was a surveillance legacy where we install this equipment in the name of national security and then within the picture over we keep using it very very serious with the privacy that might not be out of the to protect the spy in the skies been piloted before in britain by four police forces but never to go off after one crashed into a river and the u.k. aviation authority failed to grant the necessary license that's the only legal requirement before this sort of surveillance becomes a reality at the olympics a minor hurdle for it's already britain's biggest peacetime security operation total cost over one point six billion dollars it is worrying that the security bill has increased so drastically from initial estimates one of the reasons being given for this is so heightened risk. of terrorism which seems incredible as an excuse at

a time when the original estimates were made around the time of the london bombings when london was considered to be a very high risk so it seems incredible they got the estimates so badly wrong in the first place commandos speeding up the thames is one answer to a myriad of perceived terror threats this time a hijacked passenger boat they'll also be warships and get on the thames attack helicopters on standby even ground to air missiles ready to launch or vance before you even get to the security on the ground to give you an idea of the numbers take the olympic stadium capacity eighty thousand ground security at the games is enough to fill sixty percent of that inside the venue will be over twenty three thousand security guards along with seven and a half thousand military personnel and then outside a further six thousand troops along with twelve thousand police total just shy of

fifty thousand the budgets ballooned by a hundred percent because initial estimates were woefully inadequate but that still couldn't stop two fake bombs being sneaked in under the radar at the stadiums dummy runs not exactly great value for money london organizers have tried to play down fees the olympic village will be a siege city but with such a massive security operation the plan the limb pick legacy of international friendship may not be the one that's actually left. i've been it's. been. up to four hundred occupy protesters arrested was a number still growing what began as a peaceful rally in the city of oakland against inequality quickly turned into one of the most dramatic clashes in the movement's history riots glad cops jumped into action firing tear gas and flash grenades at protesters hiding behind makeshift barriers very simple dozens of people were injured including three police officers

after demonstrators began throwing rocks at the police and the aftermath the mayor of oakland told the l five movement to stop treating her city as a playground while she also called on courts to keep anyone arrested more than once at a protest out of the city for good. from the international action center believes the occupy movement is like an alarm clock for hard pressed americans. it's very much achieving its goals in terms of waking up the youth in the us waking up working people in the us to the reality the reality that poor and working people are losing more and more and that one percent actually one thousand of one percent is gaining enormous new wealth so that they're very successful in drawing attention to that again and again the media tries to bait. as being the violence from the police and

a broken piece of glass is not the broken heads that the police are inflicting on the occupy movement and that movement is very determined to continue and to find new tactics. well as take a look now at some other stories from around the world this story talks between the u.s. and the taliban have reportedly begun in qatar they are discussing trust building measures including a possible transfer of prisoners from guantanamo bay up to eight taliban representatives are said to have traveled to pakistan which had allegedly hold previous attempts at such talks the afghan government which isn't directly involved in the process says it seeking separate peace talks with these mommas group in saudi arabia. thousands of people have gathered in central pakistan to demand supply routes used by nato forces in afghanistan are kept closed as long as speakers at the rally called for independence from u.s. foreign policy and vowed to stage further protest if any attempt to open channels

his main border checkpoint stopped supplies for nato troops in afghanistan last year following an airstrike which killed twenty four pakistani troops. well up next a recap of today's top stories after we take a look what's happening in the world of business with natasha stay with us. twenty four minutes past eight am here in moscow you're watching business. the russian government is insisting a local businesses should stop using offshore tax havens and argues a cash injection would help the economy develop they had of the world's largest alimony a producer tells business r.t. for the idea to work russia needs to overhaul its tax system. good the very positive because it means that the russian legal system will differ as a result in the because you know no better off an old fraud you just. put you need

to do use you know so it's on the corporate number scheme enough to establish a no problem in a partnership arrangement joint venture that's why in many. states trying to ensure a developer is focused on russia but also its tax regime we have a lot of advantage in the tax system but to in that to change will disappear and even that not just for russia and b. but also for foreign business investments in russia in the sewer in the in the heaven of course you know we need to improve that system. russia's innovation hubs coca-cola is welcoming its first stress events last november its management picked fifteen projects out of more than fifteen hundred applicants giving them free offices and one hundred fifty thousand dollars on startup capital skolkovo as head the victim. lines the plans for this year. two crucial we were going to get it

came as a surprise but skolkovo managed to attract over one hundred fifty million dollars of private investment last year this year we'd like to double that figure for a large corporation it's not a lot but to get it for high tech and research orientated small and medium sized businesses it's very impressive. and let's now take a look at the markets oil first and it's a losing value traders a cautious ahead of the european union summit in brussels late on monday it looks like investors viewed the situation in the middle east as not as much of a factor as the fiscal pact the e.u. leaders are expected to sign this hour that will be around ninety nine dollars a barrel brant is a one hundred and eleven dollars and now on to equities and asian shares and weaker with investors also in the wait for the news from europe germany is pushing to introduce the e.u. oversight of greek the greek budget but the country's finance minister says the

move is unnecessary and hong kong the stocks are also under pressure as the expected policies easing. banks are losing ground this hour in tokyo exporters a suffering from a stronger again that toyota is down almost one percent and two hours ahead of the opening bell here and moscow the russian markets finished friday's session on a negative note you're seeing the closing figures there both m i six and the r.t.s. the r.t.s. dropped almost half percent. and a look ahead to the trading week the u.s. economic growth figures were disappointing when they were released on friday douglas role from also says that they have a knock on effect although generally the sentiment is rather positive. even with the correction i think the market will still see some sector shift from gas names into a banking stocks and maybe after a bit of a correction i think that these will be the names which investors will start making

up some more stock in also you know with regard to the first year flows we're seeing more of money from the exchange traded funds coming into russia which is even though replacing some of the cash coming out from dedicated funds here which indicates to me the global sentiment done russia is moving back towards a neutral or waiting since russia had been underweight since at least september of last year. the first foreign investor is coming to russia's wrong milk production one of the world's largest agricultural commodities traders on wall and the milk producer small call will jointly invest up to five hundred million dollars and the industry that oversees they first says this plan to build a new farm which will be able to produce three hundred thousand tons of milk a year. and that's all the latest from the business team i'll be back in about

fifteen minutes. the. mission would be to much brighter than if you knew me about some from phones to

pressure. these friends don't on t.v. don't come. back to what you are to hear of a look at the top stories iran warns abandon oil sales to someone who countries are still possible as a group of top un nuclear inspectors star their three day mission and they are public. dark clouds of war are looming over the syrian capital with heavy artillery fire heard on the outskirts and government tanks and witnessed on the streets. and it's back to brussels for new leaders as the blog rattled by debt crises seeks to install spanning seat belts for each member nation. was russia's economy comes

under scrutiny from russia's prime minister what he recorded and the way. this article backing his presidential bid. next to the program as iran braces itself to face the effect of fresh west imposed sanctions we sit down with its interior minister to ask how the current standstill is influencing affairs inside the country. the possibility of war between the united states and iran is being debated around the world that's what the mood is like inside the country to discuss that the endowed joined by iran's interior minister. lot larger it's possible thank you for your time mr stone is that they were talking several days after the e.u. introduced oil sanctions against iran and i know the iranian leadership has responded by saying the sanctions would do more harm to your advantage to ron jr still since iran gets seventy percent of its revenues from oil do you have any

fears about negative social reactions including strikes as people may lose their jobs do you take this somehow into account in your work or you. know these speculations are new to our country and our government or the power of the people all around ruling bodies or in power as a result of popular voting therefore our government and are all for it is a completely popular and our people have participated in all areas and spheres of our life from the very start of the revolution therefore as i've said there's nothing new about these talks which are actually quite outdated and irrelevant nonetheless they keep speculating on this matter of trying to stir up psychological warfare inside our country or in the countries of the region or probably among people of their own countries that have enough of their own problems attempting to find someone else to blame for them we don't sell that much oil to your of illnesses and our european accounts don't have that much money. so you are starting

to get this all stop the u.s. and the west as a how do not conceal that one of the main tasks of these sanctions is to get the oil prices for the iranian oil lower that's decreasing their revenues from the oil iran saudi is they want a two we used to manipulate the political situation. the way was that i believe they've made a big mistake as this action results in turbulence for the oil and energy markets this very fact it can result in oil price growth in these conditions the west should expect the drop in the euro rate and the euro market this new decision will result in further economic problems which as we can see have affected them already and so far they've been unable to find solutions oil and energy markets will experience instability and turmoil and this factor can boost prices for oil and energy products and jeopardize the market security and this is quite difficult for the markets which going by previous experience is used to consuming certain kinds

of oil and energy and this also brings up technical and economic issues at the same time we're not worried for iran at all we've ensured our efficient planning in advance and with god's help we will continue moving forward but in the year the decisions taken today by the west unilaterally will result in the escalation of their own economic problems covering the story iran ians nav as the rankins with the aggressive and military rhetoric being built up by the west bank and they aren't as i've said these words are new these speculations have been going on for thirty years and there's no news in it to the iranian people the people of iran are in charge and they always participate in everything we don't sense any problems inside the country. if i may i would like to ask you about the recent killing of a nuclear scientist there have been other similar cases and as far as we understand the investigation into it has not made great progress so far why have there been no

substantial results and who might be behind these killings. and this is clear is day and they admitted mossad and the cia as well as some european security services don't like to see nations progress they would like to have control and a monopoly over everything the great a rainy a nation of follows the path. of searching for new technologies and it wants to stand firmly on its feet by means of its own strengths and produce its own knowledge they disapprove of this progress and they don't want to see other nations develop themselves the fact that they come over to such people's homes or attempt to murder an educated and broad minded university professor highlights the grave nature of their situation and it demonstrates that the us and israel have disgraced themselves in this matter that they speak of human rights and at the same time they officially perform terrorist attacks and promote state terrorism expansion. in their slogans we see their idle talk on fighting terrorism their deeds however do

not match their words they brought their troops to afghanistan under the pretext of defending human rights and fighting terrorism and drug trafficking and drug crops have increased forty fold since the americans got there. the number of casualties among innocent men women and children has increased significantly and so has the level of instability in the region that we actually witness terrorism development in the region with the drug mafia and drug related revenues have grown as well and we see contradiction between their words and deeds. the scientists assassination will only make the iranian people stronger and more focused on their goal will people understand that they've chosen the right path the one of scientific progress namely the adversary doesn't want to see this happen as it would cause harm to them in the physical annihilation of people in full daylight as a sign of the adversary is complete powerlessness and despair our initial yes last i now that iran is having parliamentary elections in

a month in many countries not only arab ones election may be used as a way to create provocations there are always some people unhappy with election results and this discontent made snowball i are concerned by this that a similar scenario man followed in iran. no thank god we've had twenty nine elections to do. and this election campaign will be our thirtieth election and it will take place in absolute peace and security like all the previous ones because our dear fellow citizens in all the regions all the cities and villages will willingly come to polling stations and cast their votes to designate their delegates to parliament to serve the purposes of development and prosperity for our country. but that is the last of the us as you know that r.t. has been comprehensively covering the situation in the arab countries as we have covered the wars in libya and syria we often heard complaints from the leadership that the intelligence services of other countries have stepped up their operations on the territories of the countries concerned in the past year the way many are

ledged imaginaries in syria and libya who could see with our own eyes that some people were apparently not libyans but fought on the side of the rebels can you see any increase in the operations of intelligence services from other countries or any attempts to penetrate your territory at least in recent years since the latest events in the arab countries began. you see foreign powers and other enemies are at work everywhere they might also be present in our country but we do not feel we should worry about this of course we should look out for superpowers and our enemies attempting to interfere in the home affairs of arabic countries especially in syria and in all countries where the people are in charge of running their nations they must keep track of such attempts or i don't know of other ways years worth of work until it's been about a year since the arab spring began a first even the iranian leadership hailed the movements in egypt in libya as

expressing democratic sentiments now that one year is passed the attitude towards the events around your country has changed do you still believe those are people are driven by their own democratic ideas or do you see hundred other countries in the events of the arab spring. we support any popular movement as long as people's demands are legitimate and the imperialistic regime of world supremacies is obviously trying to lead people away from the right path and neutralize the popular movement or transform it in favor of their own interests but the pure straightforward and righteous path that people have been following and what countries of the region however is stipulated by their willingness to defend their . right which is a legitimate demand from iran's viewpoint but that is the bit of can one say that the instability in the region has considerably increased the narcotic drugs trafficking well. yes afghanistan is certainly the focus of narcotic plantations

now the americans and europeans are there and since they came narcotic drugs production has increased forty four old and it's a financial source for most terrorists who infringe the security of central asian states the states of the region and russia itself it's a threat not only for iran but for the region at large and russia if russia fails to keep an eye on what's going on next to its borders and around the country this threat will most probably become a serious problem for russia itself it's a fact that both iran and russia the main drugs trafficking route where at the beginning of it because the drugs first penetrate our country then follow to turkey and then to europe and then on the other hand russia is also on the route that its northern end because the drugs penetrate russia through central asia and then go to europe we suffer serious losses on this route more than three thousand seven hundred lives have been lost in the attempt to resolve this issue. given we as humans are convinced we have to go on with this ruthless battle so as to save our

people and despite the fact that the world community does not lend us necessary assistance in this cause we're alone to bear most financial costs and human losses in order to continue the struggle shut down the borders and blockade the territory inside the country in order to prevent the trafficking so it seems iran and russia will have to take responsibility for the problem themselves that they've been in when was the one of our best i was just the pairing for this interview several colleagues approached me at r.t. asking if there was going to be a war between iran and the usa which is you know on phone. let me say this again all those fabrications are not new. to us the islamic republic of iran is a strong power capable of defending its regional security folly and the iranian people being a great and powerful nation are not afraid of those futile threats that.

i am. were shot four times in total airways a. series of boards are still in my body. and those people should be allowed to defend themselves were they own guns in the hands of law abiding decent people are not a problem national rifle association. basically retired military and. love to shoot holes and i'm sorry if you know that the bullet comes out here and this makes it go bang and if what's in front of here is going to die and that's all the training you really really need raise your hand if you know something's been. ok to what i want to philadelphia only the streets.

until about a hopefully we will never have to use the weapons for self defense but we should be prepared for the full class including the teacher as in close. seventeen students and six and one of seven or still.
