judd announced that the islamic republic would soon reveal major advances in its nuclear program he also warned that europe was playing a risky game by cutting off trade with tehran because e.u. consumers count for around twenty percent of iran's oil output the spanish ambassador to iran said that sanctions will hurt this country more than any other european state and madrid based journalist says the e.u. embargo serves only the interest of the us what we're seeing here is not a decision that comes. from european countries to spain never want to do some buy go to to prove to be put in place this is something that comes externally from the united states pressure on the european union and he's not just displaying the need to really also greece imports lots of oil from iran it could be hard hitting away that would bring them bundled up in the coming future that would be a complete disaster for the european union and for the euro and that can happen

because of the. political move it's now become an economic issue and can have even more. destructive effects if the iranians decide to say the strait of hormuz or even if they now decide to beat europe to it by. by by cutting off their oil now because we need this time to find alternative supplies if they cut the supply be able to find them there will be a huge recession in europe iran insists that its nuclear program is for peaceful purposes repeating that it was open to talks with major world powers but political analysts come out new things that iran has already been tried and found guilty all the inspection by nuclear agency. iran is actually weaponized. they are actually following the nuclear treaty agreement there is no violation to that end but no matter what they saying their sanction are coming at iran because

their suspicion there are. no matter what they are justifying or opening their facility there is some judgment already been rendered against your rant and i think before six months we might we might heading into a major confrontation in the burgeoning gulf. civil society stepping into the front line of russian politics with the aim of keeping the upcoming presidential election they are at our leading thinkers and members of the public are joining forces and most importantly they seem to have the support of all five candidates as well as the voters as cut off has the details. it doesn't take long to find videos of alleged violations during the recent parliamentary vote in russia just a couple of clicks is enough of these files have flooded the internet and even though most of the allegations are still to be proven in courts tens of thousands

of people have been taking to the streets demanding fair elections but marches presidential votes just around the corner events are unfolding quickly with me for not sure if people want to vote responsibly and to know where their villages go you know they want political competition independent courts and media forming the voters league is not our achievement the idea was floating in the air the voters league was officially founded in january by a group of journalists bloggers activists all artists writers and other public figures and statements made in tedious like t.v. host and now activist. that riteish asking for the head of a charity fund and blogger he does any of that bianca also known as dr lisa. or other school martha ordinator of the blue buckets movement fighting for equal rights on roads for everyone was moved to our league is an opportunity to gather

people who are not indifferent to what's happened to position there are better the leagues main goal is to ensure fair elections is published a list of initiatives on the web divided into groups that everyone can be a part of public discussions and online votes are the key instruments the letters have been sent. candidates asking them to cooperate with the league and even though the project. auld everyone has so far agreed including pledging little to another candidate businessman mikhail prokhorov has already struck a deal with the leak years ago and willing to authorize one hundred fifty thousand league observers would also arrange to put together a unified database to keep the check on the election protocols according to his found. observers are needed to ensure a fair election in moscow alone. it's great that the civil society wants to be more active but it's clearly important not to cross the line and observers not only are

positioned it is serious so if limitations not to take sides in the political process. it is the league's founders say they'll shut the organisation down if it ever starts turning into a political movement claiming there are keen to work with all candidates equally there's no doubt society has changed more people want to have more influence on russia's political life perhaps that's why it took less than one month for the vote . with both the authorities and the opposition and with the help promise from candidates the league just may secure enough access to effectively monitor the vote in march as long as it avoids taking sides and protects its neutrality is going off r t moscow. and some world news now briefly the cell where israeli air strikes on the gaza strip left one person dad and four others wounded war planes fired missiles at three different areas just after midnight on saturday the first field

r t thank you very much for your time minister it's been more than ten years since pakistan joined the u.s. military operations in afghanistan do you think that was the right thing to do. you would you know things look very different but. that pakistan has had in the last in the focus on this prize for that but it is also a fact that pakistan. region inhabits the region. and this region has some serious problems. but in into terrorism and pakistan has always maintained that it is important to have collaborative joint efforts to rather than follow sort of unitary approaches. in how we want to rid the streets and you mentioned. the price of your involvement in afghanistan has been pretty high many thousand of your citizens lost their lives millions of people have been

very placed there estimates that it cost your country around seven u.s. dollars but we often hear criticism about pakistan's role. in afghanistan found the american side do you think the united states treats you fairly. i would like to answer that question by saying that what is crucial to. robust partnership is that each able to live or operate within the bounds of what is. believed to be you know what has been agreed first treating fairly is concerned i think pakistan has in this particular is not been treated fairly by anybody for that matter because pakistan continues to lose pakistan continues to lose in terms of economic cost in terms of the social cost i think sometimes that is not emphasized on enough so we continue to lose in many many ways but some times

the rule that is that is put on pakistan is a rule which is understandable. because if the first country. from is table one stands pakistan and the first country to lose from in you know unstable understand is also pakistan so pakistan stick a very high and that is what is commonly believed that yes pakistan sticks are very high but pakistan sticks are very high in having stability in that one is not instability in the one stand so we have maintained and we stated very clearly that it is. to determine what course of action they want to take in any way possible whether they want to have strategic alliance with country a country b. it's a sovereign country we must respect them as that but pakistan's rule in any way can only be there to support of i think saying that pakistan is a cause of the problem and is creating trouble is an imaginary solution it is an

imaginary blame it is an imaginary looking for the real solutions the real problems have to be faced you know on the ground now as we all know that the united states has been taking on a lead role in this military operation. why do you think with all its military power and the resources that are invested into this campaign why anything the results are not that impressive as a few there could be i think i'm not the right person to answer that question it should be somebody from the us administration i want to question to be right i don't think it is important whether the u.s. is succeeding or is winning in afghanistan or not. whether of wonder stan is winning or not because the goal of the u.s. and pakistan and the region and all the forty eight countries which operate in the understand. when if i may come back to the issue of american criticism for just one question president obama said in

a number of occasions that one of the reasons why the united states is using drones to file for your territory and to hit targets on your territory is because the pakistani authorities are largely. are not in control of their own land and my question is. why pakistan tolerating the use of military technology that are killing targets on pakistani land that ultimately oftentimes lead to the. loss of life among the pakistani citizens this is one of the major problem that keeps us from achieving our successes in our view. not only completely illegal and awful and have north resolution to be. in the domains of international law but even more importantly they are counterproductive to your objective of getting this region rid of militancy and terrorism and extremism because if one strike leads to getting you

target number one or target number three to do target certain more targets in the militancy that it breeds in the in the for doing that it gives to the militants to attract more people to join the ranks we are today in pakistan suffering from the consequences of what you know many other problems of the world decided to do in that region to rid itself of the challenge that appeared in one thousand nine hundred eighty nine which was the soviet invasion of one star now in trying to deal with we have created certain groups which are today. a challenge to everybody. so again do we want to repeat the same mistakes again clearly pakistan doesn't think so and pakistan has categorically. under full counterproductive other any than ears in your view reasonable values that pakistan

could take in case of drone attacks beyond forcing it's concern or a distraction my question to you is it just an issue of some countries allow a greater freedom and greater repertoire of foreign policy tools than others that would be a very unfair world and i hope that's not the world that we're moving towards and therefore the questions of illegality an unlawful. is an extremely important one and luke lee currently no compromise in pakistan about that if you look at as i've said i think this is partially one of the major reasons which is responsible for where we are today and pakistan as a country which. considers itself to be a sovereign country to consider to be an independent country has therefore decided to reassess the whole terms of engagement because for to us it is very clear that this is not part of the terms of engagement now if that clarity is required

elsewhere i guess the parliament will be in its right to be able to define it but please don't mr approach that we're taking the approach that we're taking is not out of a can confrontation the prudes that we're taking is that of forging a partnership which is which is based on mutual respect and based on mutual interest and just last week. and her report was leaked to the media. pakistani security forces and maintaining contacts with. terrorism and extremist organizations that are operating in afghanistan as far as i understand there was ever an. allegation that they're supporting them financially. is this true first of all this is not a new to report we were told by need to at least that this is a. single person not in the report but is thing in the country and a single person and pretty much. all the bottle because this is not

a new accusation or allegation which have been made in pakistan the specific context of the mention were with the taliban of outer intelligence agencies i think every intelligence agency in the world particularly the ones which are working in the one some indian style with one group or the other and all of them at some level and this does are now pretty much out in the open because people are openly talking about talking to these but so i think just creating you know this is this is something which is not even worth a comment quite frankly the united states is expected to withdraw its troops from afghanistan and a matter of a few years is pakistan looking forward to that event but you see again they came here with some goals and objectives we would. those goals and objectives are met or at least partially met and we would hope that when they leave in the understand afghanistan is a better place than when they first came but the long term presence of foreign

troops in the region is always always counterproductive. yes but we would also be very very mindful of what ground. instability more instability is clearly something that this region cannot cannot afford i'd like to switch gears a little bit and asking about. now piling its pressure on that country which is your neighbor and longtime partner. how would pakistan respond in a case of military strike against iran we would strongly all countries to desist from any option which is military. because this region has already seen too much and we do not want any further destabilization. we feel very strongly that these things can be no good you know can be settled on the negotiation table that there should be flexibility shown. and that dialogue should

be considered to be don't live in a forward and it would have disastrous let me go to pakistan feels it would have disaster for the region what about syria do you support a military intervention against assad's regime we support no military intervention against in the region because we feel that independent sovereign need to territory integrity of a country are important aspects and there in shined in many many places now what we need to ensure the international community is is that violence from any side is not given our lunch is not allowed to. move forward thank you very much for a time minister thank you. from los angeles to chicago to birmingham twenty trauma centers have closed since

two thousand severe problem is not enough inpatient beds not enough urgency department beds and not enough nurses to man those deaths 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 be a mass so i started out running just do firefighting it's about eighty two percent of what we do the florida problem is medical but they had a rescue couple weeks ago waited four hours for 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. mandates that can turn no one away who seeks care in an emergency room. we have the most expensive health care system in the world and it's probably valued the least.
