you want but there are so many different makes and models and brands you know got to have a more it's a victory but for much of the world this kind of freedom may seem bizarre to young man apparently dressed in a long black trench coats open fire across the globe guns are associated with tragedies. or bloodshed in battlefields of war. but for gun owners like jim hansen and guns belong in the hands of american citizens the safest person in the world is someone who is legally carrying a firearm america is a country that was founded with a basic understanding that guns are bad that you see in this world and there's two kinds of people my friends. those that move on. as the most heavily armed nation in the world there are a few diggers to be found in america as of two thousand and seven there were an estimated two hundred ninety four million guns in this country that's nearly enough

this is the. this is official statements version given by western governments and western leaders so it's intended to hurt ordinary iranians americans by sanctioning the central bank or trying to even prevent iranians from importing. grain or rice and this is. in the eyes of iranians absolutely disgusting so it's a it's a major violation of the human rights of the iranian people and if the iranians back down from their nuclear program which is peaceful and there's no evidence that it is not peaceful then the americans and europeans will go after some other excuse to put pressure on the country. so i have for you on r.t. of the perils of global warming and of ignoring. big oil companies don't want to hear that so if you throw your money to lobbyists they're don't want to hear it so if it's deliberate and we don't hear about it so much are we headed for doom i hope not the resident in new york asked if the public and the media are doing enough to

future you can expect unemployment rates are already this high and the. schools are becoming a private business it's hard to tell if you are going to find a job when you when you finish studying if you can actually do some college studies because if you have to be really high price for them you're not even going to be able to go to college at all think of those. people who suffer. children and those things are going on men have to think that innovation is the most important thing because because of us will be it will create the future so they have to spend money they have to spend money in indication what i would like to see would be people massively going out of the street and protesting big things change people have that power and i will lead them to realize. increasingly that's exactly what's been students have been doing taking to the streets to protest the

measures being brought in by the new government and it's not just students that are suffering in the last four years three million jobs. disappeared. and now. at least four hundred thousand more jobs to disappear in the coming months between some of the country's student unions and they plan for their next peaceful protests but they tell us that in the government's approach to managing the demonstrations is anything but peaceful. there will be elections on the twentieth of november one month after that they were stranding over a million euros on gas and other equipment to repress their own citizens on the street one million viewers of the budget of a county that this has already a really bad economy on weapons to use against our own citizens when they can hear to complain about what we are doing to them the new government of spain is doing

nuclear security summit. on the party's. north korea space rocket launch announced for next month is expected to be a major issue at the upcoming international clear security council insult the u.s. and its allies are worried at the north's plant could be a cover for a nuclear weapons test that could undermine diplomatic efforts to deal with its nuclear program it could also jeopardize last month's deal between problem young and washington under this big new us but supply north korea with food aid if the latter freezes uranium enrichment japan has also deployed its missile. system saying it will shoot down any rocket threatening its territory but former european parliament member glenn ford believes tokyo is overplaying they're in danger. of being clearly the the un could take action but what quite what it does and it's not fairly serious sanctions on north korea already north korea is actually alleviating the risk partly because it shifting this launch from the east coast to the west

coast so it will not fly over japan in the same way it's possible for the launch to go wrong because the previous two have gone wrong for the first one fail the third stage failed to ignite. and so it crashed into the sea way past it but it seems to me rather unlikely that there's going to be any danger that this is going to hit your part in the sense that if it's a three stage rocket carrying it why the rafale before it gets to japan or what's going to pass over it as i said if they're launching two sounds a little like they go to do that having shifted the the launch site for at least coast to the west coast it's a very very unlikely to have a. pose any danger. as real has refused to cooperate with the un's fact finding mission expected to investigate israeli settlements and i spank that comes after the organization are as the problem per day and as our teams possibly reports israel shows little sign of stopping its policy of expansion in the area.

in the remote hilltops of south hebron the ancient plate when tribal ekes out a living from the land but they've unwittingly become the latest in the side of the israeli government now. this by any means make any real security threat. to the israeli government and this part of earth was on the agenda when the german foreign minister met with his israeli counterparts at the center of the conflict these wind and solar generators which will bring electricity to and lighting up the lives of some four hundred people as tel aviv complaining it was left in the dark but these nomads are just three to show us how my skin transformed they had no electricity they had no power to charge the phone they would need to go to the nearby city of. you know it's two hours war to drive to the telephone and that's. the anger of the israeli authorities they say with the record without permission and of threatened to send in the border all we are asked is that they

apply for a license the product you're talking about not only did they not apply brad when a warning was given this is in violation of the regulations they have the right to appeal they've refused to appeal that germany mcbain who is funding the project says they weren't too concerned with getting and it's really stamp of approval because most applications are rejected crude. and state of israel's. interests them having more caring for the world for the students in areas. rather they would like to see. less palestinians and more settlements which is what some european diplomats are suggesting because it's here in these remote hills with some of the most fervent settlement activity is taking place in a statement trotty the german foreign office said it was following the situation and described the developments as worrying but it wouldn't comment on speculation.

neteller it was reacting spitefully to a leaked confidential e.u. report calling for israeli settlement activity to be stopped and so while these nomads marvel at the first taste of the twenty first century their joy could be short lived if israel decides to rip it all away policy r.t. in the south hebron hills. well scientists agree that the effects of global warming are being felt every day in cities around the world and yet the issue doesn't seem to be hitting headlines our resident reporter asks people in new york if the public and the media are doing enough to pressure their politicians to try and stop it. this year the us saw its fourth warmest winter on record europe start record breaking cold why is no one talking about the perils of climate change any more this week let's talk about that do you think it's still a threat to the planet yes over here especially what traffic great.

you know you got out of cars we like to pollute the earth here in the u.s. definitely you know what can you do i mean what can the individual. we can stop using plastic bags and turning your lights on we already knew that we really don't feel like it makes a big difference well no we do yes we do as much as we can but you know it's time for the government. world why do you think the world still cares about it because it doesn't seem to be in the headlines as frequently absolutely not so why is that . for a government to figure out but they don't want to give us enough or mation for us to make our own decisions and i think it's something that people know i mean everyone a lot of people watch you know watch al gore and listen to him and can't remember the name of the movie i can't write. it all we heard about it was. conveniently forgot but hey you know we forgot why do you think the media stopped to talk about

it because it clearly wasn't common sense that stops them. because they found something else to talk about i do believe people are working on it and when you talk to my son who's in college and his friends i think there is a lot more concern than we have sometimes yeah it's i guess it's can't really gauge everything but what the media is talking about right right we're going to have snow in june at this point so you believe it's still true yes absolutely so why isn't the media talking about it anymore big business. big big big oil companies don't want to hear that really good money to lobbyists don't want to hear it though if it's good but we don't hear about it so much are we headed for doom i hope i don't know if you have a good set of critics when it first one it's well the bottom line is although there are people who are still concerned about the effects of climate change the mainstream media is clearly not among them. a brief look now at some other international news e.u.

this being a tough time economically for a lot of prisoners is that the amount of company a looking to branch out going in when we supply of products through the russian and c.i.s. markets and i think our entrance to the world markets is also in the pipeline the vast majority of russia's jewelry comes from this region with over four million pieces a year coming off the production lines at this factory alone however there are those that hope to challenge the dominance of mass production. just down the road from the major factories it occurs in a sales guy a school a metal treatment been teaching students how to craft bespoke jewelry for one hundred fifty years however despite that history of rise of the factories does cause some concern that the problem here is that some graduates find it hard to work on new equipment installed at these factories but they can do everything from a visit with their hands students come from far afield to attend the school samuel

show me love is from israel he's following in his uncle's footsteps my studying here and has high hopes for the future. earrings that i make are valued very highly i can't think of a factory that can do things like they're maybe tiffany this is the level i am aspiring to. perhaps the inspiration for the students is the success of a local independent jeweler gauri glass of working from home alongside his wife tatiana a couple of produced some stunningly beautiful pieces drawing inspiration from a multitude of sources. i turn to history to literature and to my previous experience for example these dark hearings were inspired by archaeological findings from century north russian summit with some of the blastoff pieces containing thousands of stones and taking a more than six months to complete they don't come cheap but they are source after the fact president dmitri medvedev is among those who has purchased their work

a gori says there will always be room for both the factories and the individual craftsman to produce and sell their wares. more than i think traditional craft and mass production can co-exist because they are two different things it's like juxtaposing talk of being in painting to talk beers about equipment plating is more about brains and. this is the difference with jewelry as well. jewelry being made here is certainly the king of bling of riches regions the troll of the party. they are on today our on our glee we send in the clowns and mask our team shows you the colorful world of mascara circuses and animal actors here's a taste of what's coming up at twelve thirty g.m.t. and. one of the stars of the show a very large animal that i will admit of last meeting
