the ball's in their court ties britain and america's leaders get together to discuss getting out of afghanistan. iran brushes off claims by the u.n. nuclear watchdog that it's trying to raise evidence of explosives testing of a key military site that israel's threats of attack still stand. and even use new rules against overspenders takes effect hungary killing its funding slashed regions farmers say they're the ones filling the force of it was in its red tape.

well reasoned analysis twenty four hours a day watching our team bringing the war in afghanistan to a close is the american british leaders main focus as prime minister david cameron visits the us london has been washington's main ally in the conflict with common sense people but i want an end game but before the tough talk the this took some time off to watch a day when each of our reports. president obama took the british prime minister to a basketball game in ohio as the white house said to underscore the special relationship between the two allies especially indeed the two nations have been tell lies for many years for the u.k. supporting all america's wars including the iraq war that was started on lies and now both countries are facing a huge backlash from their joint campaigns topping the agenda is of galveston especially in the wake of the tragedy that happened there over the weekend when a u.s. soldier apparently murdered sixteen innocent afghans in cold blood including women

and children analysts say the incident is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the problems that the allied forces mission faces in afghanistan i basketball court is probably not the most appropriate venue to discuss those very serious matters at hand but the two leaders will surely have more to say as the u.k. prime minister's visit to the united states continues the u.s. and the u.k. or the main contributors to the warring against and as the two countries are trying to coordinate a timetable for withdrawal analysts say becomes increasingly clear that paired nation building effort has been a failure insurgency in the country's rampant afghans clearly want the allied forces out is in it's like the latest murder of innocent civilians are used by all kinds of extremists to recruit even more people to their ranks opium poppy and heroin production in afghanistan has increased dramatically in the last ten years of the war there and is now at record levels and part of the money from its sales affectively goes to support terror around the globe by the way the first country to fall victim to the rampant opium production in afghanistan is russia is watching

very nervously and with huge concern at what the allied forces are doing there because their actions directly affect russia's national security what's interesting here in america even the mainstream media which have been generally supportive of war see if not to say trigger happy have started echoing what most people say here in the united states and the thoughts almost pleas that you hear most often with regard to afghanistan or they just don't tell us the. we're winning and b. why isn't going to ship listening to us that we have to say here note opinion polls show more than sixty percent of americans want their troops out of afghanistan and they want them out now so with this in mind it's going to be very hard for mr cameron and president obama competitor on the back and celebrate success when so much speaks to the contrary. but barack obama and david cameron are expected to discuss transferring security to afghan forces by the middle of next year well the president has been stressing this is the rush for the exit from investigative

journalists on the surface u.s. soldiers were all crimes when any support for the campaign with stone has dragged away. they will be trying to manage what i think is described as a moral collapse of the of the occupation we have to remember that for obama who opposed the war in iraq the afghan war was the good war so this latest incident following the burning of the korans that happened quite recently i just feel that the whole kind of moral case for the war has collapsed i've been trying to tiptoe away from the afghan war for a while i mean. remember it's you know it's over ten years now and we've had so many promises so many lies the end of the tunnel and so on the surge is diplomatic surge is troop surges all these things have failed and you just feel that there was a this a can just to really quietly maybe if we just leave without making much noise people will forget that we were here but it's an insiders that i think of just below not

completely but the reason they went in was to destroy. some of it was across the border in pakistan so then it became a war against the taliban and then a war against the afghan people so now at the end of all this horrific process we turn to the point to say well i actually need to sit down and talk to the taliban these are not foreigners these are afghans and they represent something inside the country in the end the truth is that they are going to have to be the masters of their own fate or the narcissism pressing ahead with more reforms and the date now set a parliamentary elections in may some countries remain unconvinced that syria's democratic changes without a military solution. keeping up the pressure and so insecure magically another battlefront is the media coverage of syria's plight the al-jazeera needs child reason to attack from some it's just stuff to try to shake opinion correspondents

only hashem is among them he told us why he quit. there is no independent media anymore its newest agenda is paying the money for the media outlets that you can see what's going on on the television the governments are on the right thing it's also the government who are influencing this war because some people are fueling this war not paying the money getting money i'm giving arms it's not only you know those who are being struck by that those order goes wrong being you know. they could use or whatever what i meant is that. this is just a proxy it's a proxy used by by external. factions like sedna governments by maybe the west will have to do. what's ahead for you what are to forget the debt his e.u. roommate has a really in a flap about round trip cages of bird sing promise to shell out for expensive hen

house is not playing fair. iran has dismissed remarks by the u.n. nuclear watchdog that it may be trying to remove evidence of explosives tests from a key military site there on that promise to allow the i.a.e.a. into the parchin facility which the agency suspects is being used for nuclear weapons research israel isn't backing down from its threat of attack but it's clear now reports it's not striking a chord with the people. there's a growing chorus of anger in israel and the government refuses to listen there's no no trick in iran but we have a government that illogical things and that's really frightening and while most experts agree israel is far from having the capability to attack iran is really officials keep in think striking could be imminent the million dollar question right now is whether or not israel would go it alone it could call on its closest

ally the united states for hope that washington is making a lot of noise not to strike but. possible as. we were. before with. the birth they would. we don't expect a green light and we can say it was probably the. relations between israeli and american leaders are tense with a partner demanding an end to the loose talk of war coming out of little yahoo's government i would not buy any say that. work is rock star on the contrary the u.s. government. cannot exert your idea is really covering every design you know one of us. you know war and while no israeli official has gone so fast to confirm an

attack on iran the implications are clear the consequences of such political moves have been very very. important namely. closing the strait the four walls. stopping the flow of oil from the gulf. we are not going to reopen the flow of oil less. striking iran. in spite of american explicit objections would certainly. hamper israel's relations with the united states. even break them all together and in the long run that might be a gamble even more dangerous than taking on iran's policy r.t. tel aviv. well later we hear opinions on the approach the u.s.

and its allies are taking towards iran and its nuclear ambitions has been wrong all along. it's not only naive but it's illogical it's naive because the policy of force has clearly failed policy of saber rattling and sanctions has not worked they are yesterday's promises and we've got to look back and realize that the nuclear program has been a stated objective of the rain is to prove quite a while that i would be better they see it as a means of expressing their power within the regional states this is important in the region we underestimate the importance of status in the region the reason is saddam hussein for example did not deny the existence of them because it was in his interest not to do so so i think you have to be realistic the present policy is a failed the present policy is a heightening tensions what we want is now to pull back from any chance of military conflict and take a fresh look at the situation and adopt

a fresh approach which i think should include an implicit recognition or at least people for of and in concert recognition of the wrong state as a regional superpower. yes you can pass the full interview with british m.p. john barrett little later this hour. egypt has described israel as its enemy number one saying it will revise all relations and agreements with turkey and the protest against israel's attacks on gaza egyptian m.p.'s have also voted to expel the country's ambassador and stop guess exports for israeli and fourteen egypt aims the vote on the arab country being in a state of flux since the revolution. first let's start with president barack he kept egypt as a stable country in the last piece and this is very very important now that when we see that there is no stability if the utmost a disaster for the country if a parliament of a great country like egypt such

a statement something is wrong in this parliament you see because if you are the man and if egypt is really suffered the next thousand years i mean something with that is really wrong and we hope that once the transitional period will be be finished there will be elected a new president everything would be changed relations will come to the right road the right way because israel is no conflict with egypt we have sold all out conflict with egypt through the peace treaty so why going back and attacking israel well i know it comes from the muslim brothers they are now the majority is a problem it's a problem for israel's a problem for egypt but this is the reality. well that's all for you analysis dot com a quick look at some of the stories there for you right there. with a few facts in the life of russian research interests forces with real geneticists and tends to produce a new breed of extinct elephant. plus to cheney's role the keys don't know the

the star take a look at other news making headlines around the world this hour the war crimes court he's due to hand down its first heard it on the democratic republic of congo's rebel commander thomas of the bangor is charged with recruiting and using child soldiers in the war of two thousand and two he was also accused of using children as young as night as bodyguards and sex slaves with anger denies the allegations and making he was nothing more than a politician. a river fairy with two hundred people on board has capsized in southern bangladesh killing at least fifty six people but it cannot have another vessel the fate of one hundred others is unknown and recovery workers are trying to raise the boat from the riverbed where all these want to be tracked.

rick santorum has claimed victory in the alabama mississippi primaries as a sense to try and track obama as the republican nominee for president think when it brings him a closer to for romney finished. well to voters in america's self running this campaign sent for mr white house a mystery and rivals. that he uses recently agreed that budget rules are being put to the test as government's attempt to balance cuts with boosting growth hungary is the first to be punished for overspending using almost five hundred billion euros in funding spain has been given a bit of leeway on a smaller deficit but brussels or red tape isn't expected to grow and it's already hitting the region struggling followers as are teams that are so that. there is much ado about these feather creatures. on january first of this year the european

commission's welfare of laying hens directive that the use of battery cages like this and now requires that we seven hundred fifty square centimeters of cage per head. look amount being written and do make. no thank you. to my life. so and it's going to medium in which small but still completely and pretty much takes. going to be taken over by the bigger ones and then welcome scenario and already crisis hit a you countries but michelle is one of the lucky ones he shelled out more than three million euros to build the new cages i think it was. ever there was. actually i.

was they also now have to be trained to lay eggs in a special nest which isn't exactly easy or the ok for. people who. were bringing it up north. but the issues extend beyond these cages cake manufacturers in france for example have called for urgent help after several farms were forced to stop egg production for failing to comply with the rules and that drove prices up by as much as seventy five percent in just four months in belgium union say prices of more than tripled since january a level not seen since the two thousand and three avian flu outbreak and while there is all the ruckus about having to follow new rules in fact farms and thirteen countries including belgium and france still haven't complied the e.u. commission has launched infringement procedures against the states which could go

all the way to the european court of justice if needed the fact that we have taken the procedure is a clear find of the commission will not buy ground in the meantime these cheap or illegal eggs could still make their way on to the market and much to the dismay of more ability and a number of states in our country they spend four hundred million pounds of road money getting there looking for. legal of course they'd be very very worried when they look across the english channel and the c o two with each fifty million birds still in the old illegal battery cage with never media calls but coming up that is what british producers are so obsessed. with that it caves to disobey the law. a law that has ruffled a more than a few feathers in the industry but at least some can go about their business slightly happier. yes or cilia r t brussels.

part of boldly go where no one has gone before that's part of the grand plan the future of russia's space program which has been on bail and includes research stations on gas exploration of other planets in our solar system because all of us has the details. cosmos the russian space agency laying out their plan for the next eighteen years will take us up to the a twenty thirty now we're going to see unmanned unmanned network research facilities on the surface of mars now they will be there to to gather as much information as they can and send it back to here to earth hopefully being one of the first steps towards. being able to set up a base on mars another will also be missions to venus and to jupiter and we're hearing that we could see a monday mission to the moon well as far as the current missions go what we're going to see is the international space station scrapped the i.s.a.'s has been on the go since the late ninety's it has funding up until twenty twenty however well

it is going to be an old piece of kit really by that time and it will lead replacing now what they're looking to replace it with of course is brand new technology a next generation of spacecraft unmanned spacecraft that will be able to travel further and retrieve more data. then anything we have at the moment now all of this of course costs money and roscoe's will say that they have the cash they have the budget to be able to do it in fact under the new plan for the next eighteen years we're going to see around six and a half billion u.s. dollars ploughed into space exploration here in russia but we're also going to see as the development of a brand new cosmodrome as it stands at the moment soyuz rockets that go up to the international space station launched in baikonur that's actually the same launch pad as where eureka garren blasted off to be the first man in space all those years ago however baikonur as great as it is it's time to look

a little bit tired they will see a new cosmodrome built in the far east of russia so those next generation of rockets those next generation spacecraft will be launched from the next generation of cosmodrome as well. we have it or later you can follow us a filmmaker and he dives into los angeles supermarket rubbish bins to salvage a perfectly edible food and employ some of the religionism to take on america's biggest grocery chains. nearly a billion people in the world are going hungry every day. in the united states even our trash cans are filled with food you just have to go get it all of these perfectly good eggs because one was cracked didn't even get all over the other ones just threw my way out and she was from the german oh you clearly like the upper five. in the dumpster at one am this morning three pm this afternoon on the grill

to the cake made from one dozen dumpster egg whites. delicious breakfast for the family make some toast for. me every year in america we throw away ninety six billion pounds of food. yes we'll have a full story on that in just over an hour's time there are a lot. of course of the katie in the business. katie how are the markets looking so well carrie we've seen some positive gains actually i can say that march because wall street had a positive sharp rises and that's much to do with the federal was the not going to enforce quantity of easing they also had some positive points to put across the table but later also as well the main news coming from the us was the fact that

fifteen out of nineteen banks managed to pass the stress test and these are all about putting these banks through their paces in case another financial crisis should occur that we saw in two thousand and eight so as i say fifty thousand nine hundred has not brilliant by any means but it's not bad and if we take a look at asia we can see that they were certainly upbeat about that we've had some strong gains this morning the nikkei is doing particularly well going to go weak at the moment which means export is benefit largely from that the biggest ones the biggest gains we've seen so far in today's session have been a sound they've added almost five percent and he called the three point five says a stronger is that as you can say. as i was talking about the u.s. as i say yesterday a positive thing is for that this could be no more quantity of easing ben bernanke is also said that interest rates are going to be kept at a low as well for you and he also cited growth in the next few quarters so as i

said the moment the u.s. is looking pretty positive if we get into oriel i can tell you that prices are actually down this hour now that's largely because the u.s. has got confirmation from saudi arabia united arab emirates and skew eight now all of these countries have said that they're going to up their oil production to offset the strains over the iranian embargo put on a concrete firm to the u.s. that's what they're going to jesus. that's why we're seeing oil prices slightly down this hour if we stay close to home for a few minutes i can tell you the russian markets will be opening up in less than two hours time now yesterday we saw some strong days and that's because it was a relatively positive day for europe as well because they have the greece situation coming to a close now we've got currencies to show you the dollar is higher against the euro and i can tell you that yesterday's session the ruble was stronger against both the euro and the dollars that's how the markets are looking but i can also tell you

that billionaires here in russia they're not happy vladimir putin's new robin hood tax paying it will cause social strike i'm also meeting talking slap the new charges on the rich announced by putin in his presidential campaign the new bush it was at that session he says it was a fiery me. it's bred lucian's like nineteen seventeen but when you put social twelve against each other tycoons of war hero russia's rich street billionaires don't like the luxury tax and they found billions of loopholes. a childhood expensive calls brings in peanuts a tax on luxury housing soviet pensioners with nice flats and anyway corrupt bureaucrats will steal any earlier as they claim is that of threatening tycoons with new problems says derry joint chiefs for a one off tax then amnesty to all of those who bring their oldest all dishonest

wealth but from abroad one thousand seven. hundred. text selection takes sometimes it's beautiful as well as it takes tax if i make amnesty for it but i. think it's in. all their chips still sort of their money whatever they have around the world bring it here is a show a once upon a time x. leaves they will pay a certain percentage will be more money otherwise people. too much can lead to. a sense of poise this thing taxes and the constant threats of new arbitrary charges is more just one of the four hundred private jets owned by russians eldridge's did

in this country the rich propose the complete opposite to get the government all for their backs. so for now i'll be back in about fifty five minutes with the latest markets to get started on.
