sentamu tomic ambitions are purely peaceful seeking to prove it by cooperating more closely with the u.n. nuclear watchdog a team of i.a.e.a. inspectors visited iran this week with plans to return in february but some skeptics think a positive outcome for the mission is not what the west wants. made up of inspectors they don't necessarily control politically but i think what the united states wants is some kind of a state but it's you know which they use in the ballast on a balanced way to. do the next stage and i think what we. see here is is a build up. of military calls for jaish and we have a massive flow it was of u.s. military haul of troops going into israel to be stationed in israel going to the weight. naval rules is the goal of this novel i would describe as by the initial

wall the issue of nuclear weapons. that is a red herring but it is a red herring which could well as we said are you. later in the program we hear from iran's interior minister who says his country will weather the storm of mounting sanctions and an exclusive interview with r.t. he says it's the country imposing them that wind up being hit hardest here's a sample of what he have to say in about ten minutes. i think the way we're doing it again. 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

. anti-corporate protesters in washington d.c. were evicted this week and occupied since early october eight people were arrested when police using riot gear and horses raided the cabinet officers said they were in forcing a no camping law and that the activists are allowed back into the park demonstrators say it was a full scale of action the occupy movement has seen some heavy handed police tactics moving their recent alleged tasering of a nonviolent protester but excessive force that provoked the activists says kevin zeese from the it's our economy think tank telling our team that 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 fears and they'd ask about it people said the only thing he was doing was taking down signs around the

tents and said no camping and so that was the rationale for tasering he was dropping it while he was not being threatening looks like an excessive use of force my sense is that it's not going to provoke the macpherson campers that there are more. discipline than that to fall for that kind of trap the occupy movement in a few months. and 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. of course you can find our top stories online twenty four hours a day at our team dot com here's what's a click away right now. anti actor protesters acting up across europe seeking to influence the debate as polish authorities decided to suspend the proposed anti online piracy registration. plus future sex some believe it could be just a matter of years before robots become the objects of man's desire while scientists

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 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 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 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 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 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 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. 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 i think. 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 of follows the path of certain. 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 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 that 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 of 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. you know people understand that they've chosen the right path the one of scientific progress the adversary doesn't want to see this happen that it would cause harm to them 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 may snow ball i am 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 their delegates to parliament to serve the purposes of development and prosperity for our country. is that the start 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 who 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 way as you wish. to work with phyllis it's been about ts since the arab spring began with a first even the iranian leadership hailed the movements in egypt and libya as expressing democratic sentiments but now that one year is passed 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'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 it will have to get a pure straightforward and righteous path that people have been following you know 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 biggest can one say that the instability in the region has considerably increased the narcotic drugs trafficking. in and out and 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 but 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 drug 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 and 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 you're 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 and being a great and powerful nation are not afraid of those futile threats.

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 those that take care of all the people who are ok 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 and 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 would say the same frances and we went for four hours and fifty minutes standing against a wall of patients and we have a federal law that mandates that you can't turn no one away. who seeks care in the emergency room. we have the most expensive health care system in the world and it's probably valued the least the airplane.
