mission is not what the west wants to see. made up of inspectors they don't necessarily control politically but i think what we united states walls is some kind of well state but you know which you could then use in a balanced on balanced way to to to lead to the next stage so i think what we are witnessing here is is a build up because of military government ation we have mass at the close of us military hardware troops going into israel to be stationed in israel all troops going to wait. naval forces in goals there's not a lot i would describe as by the actual war where the issue of nuclear weapons. of iran's nuclear weapons is a red herring but it is a red herring which could lead to well more recent audio later in the program we

hear from iran's and terror minister who is certain has country will weather the storm of mounting sanctions and an exclusive interview with our team he said it's those countries imposing them that will end up being hit the hardest here's a sample of what's to come in the next hour. i think of the way we're doing it again and. 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 or 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 the decisions taken today by the west unilaterally will result in the escalation of their own economic problems . thanks for being with us at nineteen past the hour anti-corporate protesters in

washington d.c. were evicted this weekend from a park and they had occupied since early october a people were arrested on police using riot gear on horses raided the encampment officers said they were simply enforcing a no camping law and activists are allowed back into the park but the demonstrators say it was a full scale of action movement has seen some heavy handed police tactics including the alleged recent taser shocking of a nonviolent protest. that excessive force won't provoke activists says kevin zeese from the it's our economy think tank he tells r t that 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 meet fears and they'd ask about it people said the only that he was do is taking the signs around the tents and said no camping and so that was the rationale for tasering him he was dropping he was not

being as frightening it looks like the excessive use of force my sense is that it's not going to provoke the macpherson campers that they're more. disciplined than to fall for that. the occupy movement in a few months i should show you 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. leaving economy china has promised to consider pumping cash reserves into the euro zone to help with the blocks of debt crisis that's 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 talks and negotiations are key to athens receiving a second bailout and are seen as its only opportunity to avoid default at the same time e.u. leaders are working feverishly to force through unpopular financial lead to stay

right but to slay ship paul the tall a member of the european parliament or the u.k. independence party says the people won't take kindly to these measures being forced upon them. it's only going to get worse i mean at the moment they're burning german flags on the streets of athens i predict it will be roll next and then there's been you never know it could be top lose world the tensions between the countries and particularly between the north of europe and the south of europe is only going to get greater and what you've got is you've got protests in the south and what we're seeing in the north is a political revolution where new parties are spreading in all euro skeptic parties gets better results than ever before the scary thing here that you have is once you start tinkering with democracy you're trying to change things i think you've got a very slippery slope in the what's happening at the moment over here is that the e.u. is really showing you through to chile what it's all about it doesn't want to listen to the people they're talking about an intergovernmental agreement and this 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 ireland where there should be a referendum on this and what will happen is they will bypass the people and it will constrict into we you know 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 our dot com here's what's waiting for you there right now. and after protesters across europe seek to influence the debate as polish authorities decided to suspend proposed anti online piracy legislation. plus future sex some believe it could just be a matter of years before robots become a man's object of desire a scientist develop a amorous android get the full story and many more at r.t. dot com. here so consider a bloody mehta put in his arch enemy blaming him for the death of his beloved son alex on the thinking go the former atthis be officer but this week's scene alone expected change of heart from the fierce kremlin critic who now admits he simply
