leave a positive outcome for the mission is not what the west wants to see. is made up of inspectors they don't necessarily control politically but i think what the united states walls is some kind of a state but it's you know which they use in a palace on a balanced way to to sort of lead to the next stage i think what we are witnessing here is is a build up halls of military confrontation we have massive reply was of u.s. military hardware troops going into israel to be stationed in israel more troops going to put weight. you know naval. naval forces in the. ocean go all of those are all i would describe as why the actual wall for the issue of nuclear weapons. runs through clear weapons is a red herring but it is

a red herring which could lead to a well of use that aria. later in the program we hear from iran's interior minister of the same certain his country will weather the storm of mounting sanctions and an exclusive interview with r.t. those countries imposing them will end up being hit the hardest here's a sample of what's to come in around ten minutes time. i think. i believe they've made a big mistake as this action results in turbulence for the oil and energy this very fact it can result in oil price growth in these conditions the west judy expect the drop in the euro rate and the euro markets will this new decision will result in further economic problems which as we can see the thick to the majority and so far they've been unable to find solutions with the decisions taken today by the west unilaterally will result in the escalation of the economic problems.

anti-corporate protesters in washington d.c. were evicted this weekend from a park they had occupied since early october a people were arrested when police using riot gear and horses raided the encampment officer said they were simply enforcing the park's no camping wall and activists are allowed back into the park but the demonstrators however said it was a full scale of action the occupy movement has seen some heavy handed police tactics including the allegedly recent taser shocking of a nonviolent protests or. excessive force won't provoke activists says kevin zeese from the it's our economy think tank he tells r t the occupiers are too smart to fall into that trap. who knows what's going through their head space on that you know when we i watch that video it's available online and it looked like there was no justification for it when i went to make fires in the day to ask about it people said the only thing he was doing was taking down signs around the tents that said

no camping and so that was the rationale for tasering him he was dropping a valve he was not being threatening looks like a excessive use of force my sense is that it's not going to provoke the macpherson campers that they're more. disciplined than that to fall for that kind of trap the occupy movement in a few months has shifted the date and shown the american people that if they get mobilized and organized that we have power we can change the direction this country so the future's going to be an american spring that's going to explode on the scene and become more important the presidential race in two thousand and twelve. economy china has promised to consider pumping cash reserves into the euro zone to help with the blocks debt crisis they offer comes after a strong lobbying push by the german chancellor over her three day trip to the country it comes as the e.u. awaits the conclusion of drawn out greek debt then a go she says are key to athens receiving a second bailout and are seen as its only opportunity to avoid default at the same

will go into primary e.u. more through secondary legislation which means that the people can be bypassed there will be referendums across the continent particularly in iowa where there should be a referendum on this and what will happen is they will bypass the people and it will go straight into the e.u. law and they will get exactly what they want and it is a complete affront to democracy. of course you can find our top stories online twenty four hours a day at r.t. dot com here's what's waiting for you there right now. an anti act of protesters across europe seek to employees the debate as polish authorities decided to suspend the proposed anti online piracy legislation. last future sex some believe it could just be a matter of years before robots become active desire scientists develop the amorous android get the full story and many more at our t.v. dot com. he is to be consider what he used to consider of lodging at a putin his arch enemy blaming him for the death of his beloved son isaac son the

thinking of the former f.s.b. officer but this week seen an unexpected change of heart from the fierce kremlin critic who now admits he simply said what the west wanted to hear r.t. heard felt their need to rethink our story first hand. but you. know this is how we found like that. praying in his tiny telling apartment no electricity no gas no water. if it wasn't for the help of his people i would have died from hunger frozen to death the last time i was on christmas eve. we expected more because six years ago after his son former f.s.b. officer alexander litvinenko was poisoned in london he was taken care of by some very powerful patrons. tycoon bruised result ski and kind of and a tourist former chechen militant both hiding in the u.k.

. you could give you. a. good. extremist dorsett there at least give me your. when vi three thousand and co sent a letter asking to be interviewed by russian television we expected more of the same but instead. we're going to. be made of each if you're watching this program please forgive me for all the slander the thai said and wrote about you know the hatred i had for you even only i had known my son worked for british intelligence i would not talk about his death he could easily have been shot as a double agent betrayers should be short of story what else can i add to this. the u.-turn vaulters says came when his son's we doe marina bin and co revealed to the british media that her husband had worked for m i six alexander litvinenko was

believes his son fell victim to his own game of double agents now he wants his words to be heard but the media outside russia which once beat down his door for interviews now won't even reply to his requests. why is that because they like it when i scold the regime i was a root treasure for them the whole there are very few people who would say as many horrible things about as i did. you know living in two thousand and eight but the only thing young call flat russia or sanctuary need to leave is settled in the sleeping quiet town of sinegal it offered to new anonymous life the man claimed putin was his number one enemy so hiding in europe he believed was the only safe solution today by the libyan young co is still afraid to open this door not because of putin though but because of his landlord to whom he owes a lot of money this miserable life has made him a slave of his sanctuary but surely the namco sold everything he had in russia to

come to eataly he opened a small business several years ago but it went bankrupt things got worse after the seventy three year old had buried his wife but are now fears her casket could be removed because he hasn't paid the cost of a very old plot and it's been months since the electricity was shut off to his flat he's lost forty euros went on a gas canister and that is gone to. this is how my son of a book that i've been the door to let the southern wind inside. do is east only has russia for you my homeland for. children i want to go home to russia i do want to stay here he said in the church over r t sinegal eataly. and i'll be back with the main headlines in just a moment. all

thanks for being with us a past the hour here's a quick recap wilder your headlines russia and china blocked the western back to you when draft resolution on syria with moscow slamming the text for a balanced approach and denial of dialogue between the government and the opposition. in other stories that shape this week riots returned to egypt as anger at the authorities failure to prevent a deadly song per brawl spills over into the forty's a violent clashes that have already seen and dozen people killed. and hundreds of

thousands marched in russian cities in spite of subzero temperatures with both pro and anti-government rallies and record breaking numbers headed next month's presidential election. iran is bracing itself against fresh western imposed sanctions in our interview up next attack iran's interior minister looks at the potential fallout from ongoing economic attacks by the u.s. and its allies. 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 n.l. joined by iran's interior minister. lot larger it's possible thank you for your time mr stern yesterday 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 move home to europe none to ron in here 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 to. 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 you know 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 stopping deal with with this or 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 factor 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 with 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 but 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 that 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 aren't 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 and 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 out of the great a rainy a nation and follows the path of searched. for new technologies 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 and 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 and 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 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 is

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 may snow ball i concerned by this that a similar scenario man followed in iran. no thank god we've had twenty nine elections to date 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 bed delegates to parliament to serve the purposes of development and prosperity for our country. but that's a start us to 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 and libya as expressing democratic sentiments but now this one here is past the attitude towards the events around your country has changed do you still believe those are people 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 demands are legitimate 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 it will have to get a pure straightforward and righteous path that people have been following and what countries of the region whoever is stipulated by their willingness to defend their . right which is a legitimate demand from iran's viewpoint but that is that because they can one say that the instability in the region has considerably increased the narcotic drugs

trafficking. in and out on kong 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 and 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 and then follow to turkey and then to europe and on the other hand russia is also on the route that it's northern and 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 the u.s. 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 your on phone. as well as well in 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 fully and the iranian people being

a great and powerful nation are not afraid of those futile threats. old means of protection can be used. when global supremacy. between two thousand and five and two thousand and nine us spend fifteen billion dollars in the price to pay for the entire program that we are dealing with right now here in two thousand and eleven is another hundred fifty billion dollars that's larger than many country's entire military budgets twenty offerings becomes the best form of. from los angeles to chicago to birmingham twenty trauma centers have closed since two thousand severe problem is not enough inpatient beds not on the third emergency

department beds and not enough nurses to man goes there to take care of all the people who are the only real health care system that we have in the city of los angeles is the los angeles fire department in fact when i started my venture is a firefighter i didn't want to do your mass so i started out going to just do firefighting it's about eighty two percent of what we do the farther problem is medical but they had a rescue couple weeks ago waited four hours for bit i've waited sometimes three hours i was it's a same francis and we went for four hours and fifty minutes standing against a wall with a patient and we have a federal law that mandates that you can't turn no one away who seeks care and emergency room. we have the most expensive health care system in the world and it's probably valued the least.

the official t.m. placation. called touch from the oh yes. john lloyd.
