seriously london summer olympics preparations are calling on all corners of the nation's defenses but as our teams i've invented reports such measures may not only turn the capital into a siege 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 ticks it'll 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 it be our salute tragedy for britain the largest part of the olympic legacy was a surveillance legacy where we have stores equipment in the name of national security and then when the other bits are over we keep using it person very very serious with a purpose so that might not be adequately protected the spy in the skies been

piloted before in britain by four police forces but never took 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 what'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 could 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 know. here's 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 one 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 fears 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. all us now take a look at some of the stories from around the world over two thousand people have gathered in believe the city demanding their government resume construction of a controversial new road set to go through amazon reserve plans to build the highways were cancelled last year after indigenous tribes members went on a two month long march in protest but now other communities are asking president overall is to continue the project saying it would bring much needed economic development to the region. pro-government militia leader has been killed after a suicide bomber targeted his home in northwestern pakistan a rival militants have claimed responsibility for the attack which follows previous clashes between the two groups in which hundreds of people have died three other people including the man's son in law were also killed in the blast more are

to the financial times as little blob a type for risk increases the russian ruble along with the mexican peso and the brazilian ryall have outperformed the currencies of the industrialized nations most of them gained more than five percent against the u.s. dollar reversing sharp losses of the recent months and can't trust the euro the yen and the pound gain less than one and a half percent against the greenback but analysts warn emerging market currencies remain pretty risky local regulators are likely to intervene and halt currency appreciation to help exports. european leaders on monday have managed to marry growth and austerity at their first summit this year twenty five out of twenty seven even nations agreed to a strict budget discipline but britain and the czech republic refused to sign the document that imposes sanctions on members breaching budget rules some analysts hope the move brings europe a step closer to

a fiscal union but also from the to be capital says the new rules will be pretty hard to follow. i think there's two implications naturally not all countries will be able to adapt and be within the new within the limits and the never really weaver start paying penalties and would prefer to to get out of the euro so there's was not to meet as many countries using this current solution which is a particularly great for europe trade and the second thing is it will gradually see more rift between the european nations and maybe all together who. will become a currency for only the strongest will survive. and let's not check out the markets oil first it's gaining value us traders get the message that greece is closer to the final stage of its talks with bondholders that brings hope that the european crisis might soon be resolved which in turn increases the alpha type for risk this hour in the w t i's at around ninety nine and a half dollars

currency higher against the dollar however the ruble is still lower to the euro. the dollar's also lower against the european currency as some progress has been made in talks with the greats greek bond holders and i would imagine. russia's economic expansion is losing steam the g.d.p. rose four point two percent last year that's according to a mid january estimate by prime minister vladimir putin the final figures coming out later on tuesday while retail sales grew last year amid wage increases industrial production growth was cut in half to four percent as the euro crisis type the demand for exports. samsung will open more than one thousand branded quarters and russia's top mobile phone retailer set the south korean giant hopes the move will help boost its market share the company will spend from two to fifteen thousand dollars on setting up each corner here is that said the number of

are still. welcome back here with our t. here's a look at the top stories syria still reeling from escalating brace of violence as it's widespread stew new york where u.n. security council members seem unlikely to reach consensus on the. occupy d.c. protesters dig their heels in as the wait for a police crackdown after the deadline to leave by city authorities passes. an alarm and security goes the large for the upcoming summer olympics with tens of thousands of troops and high tech spy drones all that amid fears the spirit of the

games will be damaged by the show for. the coming up next we sit down with martin calen from the u.k. conservative party to learn more about where the fallout of the year's first block summit will be felt. today we're joined by more. from the u.k. conservative party and he's also the new head of the european conservatives and a reformist group at the european parliament thanks very much for joining us today the first question is the e.u. . this is part of president the country over its controversial nuclear program statement british prime minister david cameron along with. merkel and said that quote our message is clear we have no quarrel with the iranian people but the leadership has failed to restore

international confidence in the exclusively peaceful nature of its nuclear program now at what cost to the european union is this message being delivered. you have agreed that we are not going to buy any more oil from iran number of member states to have. reasonable reason be considered a purchase that they would have to stop buying from iran but i think you know the overall. you know we have come together twenty seven nations to the iranians you know you know we really must. assure nuclear program it's unacceptable to the rest of the world for iran to acquire nuclear weapons but i will factor will these sanctions be right now you see. oil from iran with gold and you have china could possibly just step in and buy the oil that the u.s. don't want so how effective really will these. countries like india which of course . functioning democracies as well i'm sure other diplomatic pressure being applied

to to maybe get them on board with the with the regime as well you know we have to be united as a world to say to iran this is unacceptable you will not be permitted to develop. nuclear weapons. we will leave no stone to the pursuing this policy of british petroleum or b.p. will be a british government as well as the e.u. have been lobbying u.s. lawmakers for an exception from another proposed new u.s. sanctions which seek to stop western companies from doing business with iran in particular this has to do with the shah denise project in azerbaijan iran has a ten percent stake in that while greece is now forced to find alternatives to almost one third of its oil imports from iran even if it didn't want to begin with and here you have the u.k. asking for an exception how can that be fair when we see if there is an exemption on this pipeline that you're referring to from us about ten percent owed by.

iranian state assets so it's not clear what the exact effect will be on that but at the same time you know as well as the sanctions on iran we also want to pursue. diversifying energy sources. for western europe this pipeline is a key part of that but it is rather hypocritical saying this is a message to iran there are going to be. as we've accepted that there will be costs to to the west on implementing this policy on this it could well be that this is one of the costs we have to bear but i think there is not a majority owned that there was only ten percent of it it is a key part of europe's attempt to diversify our energy sources and our energy base and i'm sure they will want to continue with this but further discussions will take place on exactly what happened to this particular project so basically what you're saying is it's ok to have sanctions against iran as long as it doesn't go against the goal of the e.u.

to diversify its sources that would look like that that's the view that's being taken but i think the detail the detail work a lot to be done on this you know none of the sanctions are taking effect until august anyway let's talk about the euro zone this question has been asked. long enough even at the recent press conference of the. journalists to get a straight answer of whether or not greece will default or exit from the euro so what do you think will there be a greece default or it can give you my opinion but i think they will default you know effectively. that's being imposed on the bondholders at the moment many could argue that that's effectively a default anyway. maybe your question is. will it be an uncontrolled credit event i just. don't know what is clear to me is the current debt. is unsustainable. in my view that debt will have to be reduced considerably one way of doing it would be for them to be felt. i did my view that it's probably the most

effective way of doing that and at the same time helping to save the rest of the eurozone but you know i'm not a member of the country that is part of the euro zone so euro zone themselves but that seems to me to be the way that we're heading. that we delay this process the difficulties of being told that the u.k. wants to have a say what. we can give our opinions but you know we did not join the euro in the first place we advised against the euro being created. pointed out to many pitfalls that there would be along the way it looks like finding out the hard way that you know you can compress seventeen countries economic policies into one currency zone while still operating seventeen different economic policies well there are still some people who would argue that there are other solutions to this crisis one of which would be the issuance. of

other would be the further of funding mechanisms vailable for countries that need them with germany contributing more and germany has said no to all of these suggestions and some would say that this behavior from germany is a can too. yeah. i would if i was a german politician i would. look at the. this is the fundamental problem with the. creation of it.

and i hope they will also continue to resist as well so. where does that. push this forward. asking myself what is the point of this. crisis at the moment the next crisis five years. if countries are. going to take. a. country. so the. solution. is that it's distracting attention from the very real things that need to be done

to solve the. fundamental problems. the crisis in europe none of these issues are being addressed by this so i don't think it work and i think it's essentially pointless let's talk about the european the stability mechanism. this is the funding facility which will be put into place in the target is to have five hundred billion euros in funds that will be available for countries that may need it in the future and also the e.c.b. is asking a four. trillion euros do you think that. will be a big enough far wall to question any impact that a possible default or euro exit may have on other countries. if if spain or italy runs into trouble you know you could look at the amount of debt

outstanding in those countries you can see that if i would not necessarily pick it up but this is a matter for the eurozone countries themselves to resolve other. fundamental structural problems namely in the euro zone. being seventeen different countries this is the difficulty with it and david cameron uses veto the. against any treaty changes because he failed to get guarantees to protect the interests of the u.k. particularly of the city of london and france circulating its blueprint for proposal on a new financial transaction tax how big of a deal do you think this could become our position is that we will not accept a financial transaction tax revenue you look. in any event in any event. because it's pointless to get it you know it won't raise very much money it will just drive the institutions away to other jurisdictions like new york of singapore or geneva or something outside of the scope of this tax there are electronic

transactions by the nature that can take place in many different locations across the world so we don't they're going to raise very much money we think will be bad for european business. we think it's unfairly targeted it will be paid by. by individual investors. will be clever enough to. operate on a worldwide basis it will be. effective so they are the new. people what is this. realistic acceptance of the limits of european integration. you know. about european integration.

with the euro zone crisis. we could make. maybe some european. areas. sticking to their fundamental national democratic principle which is the basic building block of the european union so what are the. powers that already in the european union.

syria still reeling from escalating outbreaks of violence as its life spreads to new york where un security council members seem unlikely to reach consensus on the rest. occupy d.c. protesters dig their heels in as they wait for a police crackdown after the deadline to leave their camps said by city authorities passes. and london security goes large for the upcoming summer olympics with tens of thousands of troops and high tech spy drones all that amid fears the spirit of the games will be damaged by the show of force. so they have minds here in our team sports next with andrew.
