a person who claims to be brave and in command i would my soldiers to give all due respect to our people our culture and our ethnicity and warn all advocates of multiculturalism they gave this war we are now so deeply in physical violence is. a line that we draw very clearly now multiculturalism in the sense that everybody could keep this culture well this idea which has been the official idea for over for the last twenty years this idea is over there is a leading culture of the european values and european culture such far right fire has gained traction in europe but it's also angered racism groups and proponents of the left there are some resorting to very public displays of opposition. while there's an increasingly vocal wash of ideologies and a rise in political extremes one step up the fringes countries are increasingly

criticized for failing to properly engage people on what's needed to sort the problem out and so my social tensions are testing the limits of tolerance. not yet despite the obvious threat of a deepening standoff between europeans and immigrants others say europe's tendency to walk on eggshells in the name of political correctness makes any real and honest debate all but impossible when you have the riots. we think occasion of this comes if we want to try to find some excuse. but condition of life and if we don't send a clear message to everyone far right. ok. muslim. it's become impossible to understand the police others brave extra you may have reached a clue. but europe still nowhere near to wending at all to have it in cycle of fear and hatred. desser is still here r t brussels. still ahead as greece struggles

program with new iranian enrichment machines reportedly installed at one facility and israel's accusing iran of speeding up its work to build the bomb which it denies saying it's only interested in energy global affairs journalist james corbett doubts the new talks will get anywhere but not because of iran's on a willingness to cooperate unfortunately the i.a.e.a. has been exposed during this entire iranian dispute as as a little more than a gang of thugs rather than a bureaucratic agency that's trying to neutrally arbitrate is dispute and really what it demonstrates is that the nuclear powers that that currently exist are are really trying to enforce a monopoly on nuclear power and to dictating what countries can or cannot have access to that so that they're attempting to to hold the iranian government which is a signatory to the nuclear nonproliferation treaty to higher standards than other members

of the i.a.e.a. who are currently using nuclear power and of course one of the biggest detractors of iran in the iranian nuclear program is israel which itself is not a signatory to the nuclear nonproliferation treaty and has hundreds of nuclear weapons itself which have never been publicly officially disclosed so there is there's a lot going on under the surface here but it just goes to show that unfortunately be i.e. a decision has already been made before its report has even been finalized with little optimism regarding the success of the talks there's equally little hope for iran not western imposed sanctions will be they're supposed to talk at the government however as one iranian politics political commentator told r.t. from his personal experience the crippling penalties are hurting such a sense. i wondering why do you any government is not taking the united states international courts because of that because the sanctions that the united states has imposed on iran are genocidal sanctions they're killing people they're killing

ordinary civilians are killing medics retired people killing people who have not got nothing to do with you as nuclear program it's affecting the whole family you know it's affecting my dad because he can't get the medication that he needs he was diagnosed with a p.t.s.d. so for the past three decades he's been receiving medication and he became a diabetic after a few years and if you can't get the medicines then his life is in danger is not only diabetic people you have eight thousand hemophilia people in iran who badly need those medicines and they're not getting it because these medicines are being produced in the united states are being produced in the european union and because we can't buy them they can't use it and that's putting the life in danger and the united nations has shamelessly remained silent the united nations is practically doing nothing it is lost it has lost its credibility. iran's also a key topic in the u.s. presidential campaign with an answer to the stalemate over to iran's nuclear

program seen as a guaranteed vote winner also focusing on the upcoming election as our teams cross talk with host peter lavelle and his guests discussing which of the candidates is really a man of the people that full show is coming your way later today but here's a quick preview. we have a wealthy person who is paying thirteen percent or thirteen percent in federal taxes most middle class americans are paying twenty five percent or so that's class warfare to point out though they're saying the point to. dare to point that out and say that that's a problem is class war so now there is you know what i someone who spent his formative years in britain the young communist league i was grinning because his idea that this is class warfare. in lawful class warfare is about who has power in the society and altering the taxation level and seeing who can get the better account and has nothing to do with fundamentally changing the way people live the fact the real me is in a lot of money is largely irrelevant broke obama is surrounded by multimillionaires

by billionaires george soros has more money than god for goodness sake the mainstream media which is losing wealth is largely behind behind the democrats so i think that that is a digression. the greek prime minister is on a charm offensive in europe hoping to win more time for implementing reforms promised international creditors however on his first stop in berlin he was met by a tough message from the german chancellor who said action must follow words on saturday ponies some modest is heading to france with the same mission investment adviser patrick count says the struggling economy won't be able to get back on track even if it implements the promised reforms. it's really rather see this whole situation i mean the great political class are utterly delusional if they believe that they can possibly manage to make the numbers add up the numbers simply don't add up they have not added up in greece for

two decades probably a great deal longer ultimately there is a fiction price to be won from greece greek economic numbers the idea that suddenly when you have an economy that's in a tailspin it's collapsing an incredible almost unprecedented grit that suddenly everything's going to switch iran is really not going to have the situation for mrs merkel who has got a terrible dilemma is she's actually going to have to do something radical that she hasn't done before in the euro crisis which is making a decision under actually how she made any decisions a couple of years ago it would have been a lot better and they than elastoplast the sticking plaster is that if you don't like to these euro crisis the truth is there's no messing around here greece is bankrupt and will start game over for mrs merkel must agree with her about her ventures she has to inject greece from the euro because tragically it's the only humane solution for everybody involved. time now to take

a look at other news from around the world this hour. more than a hundred tanks have been seized from a militia group loyal to former libyan leader moammar gadhafi officials say several dozen weapons were also found on security forces raided a camp near tripoli meanwhile in northern libya ethnic clashes have killed at least three people and wounded dozens more since gadhafi fell last year weapons have been flowing freely into the country and are often seized by violent it's. a long running clashes over poor education standards has seen thousands of students clash with riot police in santiago officers use tear gas and water cannon to disperse the protesters who hurled rocks and return president pinera criticize the students for holding an authorized demonstrations many of which turned violent. three people are dead after a highway bridge collapsed in northeast china several trucks fell around thirty

a time of war some syrians still preserve their home or joviality. the town of sway there is one of the few communities in syria still largely unaffected by violence but never even man with slashes usually here people come to the park with their families every night nothing has changed. it's just try king contrast to the rest of the country just fifty kilometers west lies data the city where the syrian uprising began and we're going out to buy bread is sometimes a major risk but for the residents of psuedo that is no coincidence populated primarily by the jews a religious group that incorporate elements of all major faiths this way that has so far proved syria's most successful peace laboratory the locals say it's because their culture breeds tolerance. in the list to tell you different there's a basic right guaranteed by humanity in psuedo we have people of different

political opinions we all respect and accept each other as human beings that's why sweden hasn't witnessed any confrontation we can differ politically we still want to preserve our homeland we have people who are against the government but they're also going to violence there are no army checkpoints on the streets and no fear of rebel snipers on the rooftops business is slower than usual but the outlook is a bit these hotel opened its doors just two weeks ago its general manager is convinced that tolerance both political and religious always pays off life have to continue. people have to. have to. accept each other how to. switch. you have to accept i don't have a culture of those people so. i think it's good to open

up this while the rest of syria gathers to funerals in psuedo weddings are still the most common public event money and were among about a dozen couples timed the knot on that particular day. because the memories are in hotels where used to seeing very different people and we learn how to accept everybody that's what you are in me both sides need to stop killing and start talking to some in the west it may come across as ignorance and disregard for those who are suffering but it's actually the opposite the syrians always valued the beauty of the simple life and they won't give it up easily even at gunpoint. we're going right now but. maybe never. going to find out.

let's join katie and me business right now and a bit romney gets his way we could be going back to the nineteenth century gold standard katie please explain exactly what current the rest sickly we could all take our coins to the bank and get that much of the precious metal and that's exactly what the republican party wants to do they want to fix a dollar to gold again alternatively print more money but take morgan stanley told us that washington's ability to react in a crisis. i don't think so i think if you have a car which is just backed by the gold standard you won't have the kind of flexibility to intervene when you have a crisis think what happened when lehman brothers went down and the authorities. and since then through the crisis we've had the food. dream time and again i'm not saying that all negative consequences to those interventions but if it happened intervened there's a so there's a significant risk that would be in

a far worse place than. in the great depression in america unemployment was in the teens low twenty's for you know you know america it's just eight percent i think it's a lot worse than it could it is a lot better but it could have been and their homes could have been taunted if they'd been to a gold standard. let's get to the markets and see what is happening this friday we've got european stocks heading for the first week of the drop in twelve weeks and meanwhile britain's economy actually shrank a little less than first feared in the second quarter but remain stuck in a double dip recession as you can see thirty around half a percent down on that is the exchange rate said the euro is down and that's before the german charles langlade will meet french president francois hollande to talk about great prime minister today and to discuss the pace of reform that's what investors are holding out for the ruble remains mix so in russia are struggling
