1:12 pm
meeting took place amid reports that iran's installed all your ready made richmond machines at one of its facilities global affairs journalist james corbett told us the talks were doomed not because of to rand's recent atomic that pivotal. 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 this dispute and really what it demonstrates is that the nuclear powers that that currently exist are really trying to enforce a monopoly on nuclear power and a 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
1:13 pm
weapons itself which have never been publicly officially disclosed so there is that 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 so with little optimism regarding the success of the talks there's equally little hope for iran that western imposed sanctions will be eased they're supposed to target the government but as one radian political commentator told r.t. from his personal experience the crippling penalties are hurting citizens. 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 the ones 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.
1:14 pm
so for the past three decades he's been receiving medication 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. but also a key topic in the u.s. presidential campaign two with an answer to the stalemate over to rand's nuclear program seen as a guaranteed vote winner and also focusing on the upcoming election is artie's cross talk show with host people of ellen is guess it is late to show discussing which of the candidates is really a man of the people the full program coming away a bit later today in a couple of quick taste. we have

a wealthy person who is paying thirteen percent or about 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 it took. to dare to point that out and say that that's a problem is class war and now there is you know what i was someone who spent his formative years in britain the young communist league i was grinning because this idea that this is class warfare. and laughable class warfare is about who has power in a society and altering the taxation level and seeing who can get the better accountant has nothing to do with fundamentally changing the way people live without the rumors and a lot of money is largely irrelevant a breaker bar is surrounded by multimillionaires by billionaire george soros has more money than god for goodness sake mainstream media which is losing wealth is largely behind behind the democrats so i think that that is a digression. piece
1:16 pm
of the team here a bit later with you know the greek prime minister's on a charm offensive in europe right now hoping to win more time for implementing reforms promised to international credit is there 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. heads to france with the same mission investment advisor patrick young told me the struggling economy won't be able to get back on track even if it does implement all of 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
1:17 pm
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 make a decision and actually how did she made any decisions a couple of years ago it would have been a lot better than the elastoplast the sticking plaster is that if you don't like to this euro crisis the truth is there's no messing around here greece is bankrupt or you'll start game over 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. patrick young in the meantime the greek prime minister is thinking the unthinkable admitting now that the country might go to lease or even cash in some of its uninhabited islands to square up the books we've got that story to r.t. dot com one of their two is well done dice with ice cream peace activists storm a russian rig in protest over drilling for oil in the arctic.

this is r t taking around the world in brief my one person has died after a gunshot government shot and killed a former coworker in new york city before being shot dead by police it's thought the man was fired from his job as a designer of women's accessories last year but then returned to business on friday police say then near the empire state building where he fired at police and people on the street new york's mayor suggested some of those injured may have been hit in the crossfire between offices and the suspect. hundreds of supporters and opponents of egypt's president have clashed in cairo throwing fireworks and projectiles of each other the anti-government protesters accused president morsi and his muslim brotherhood party for overstepping their authority and undermining parliament the

angry crowds gathered in tahrir square which has become synonymous now for egyptian protests since ozma burials for. three people are dead after this highway bridge collapsed in northeast china several trucks fell around thirty meters smashing into the ground below after the road gave way the eight lane stretch of highway had been open for less than a year only and was designed to ease traffic congestion in the harbin area. france has suggested that western nations could consider setting up a limited no fly zone over part of syria without a un security council mandate earlier the us all support for the idea of a partial closure of syrian airspace to washington and its allies are still focused on plans for the future of the stricken country after president the said leaves but in syria itself the fighting between pro and anti-government forces shows no sign of abating his exile a boy who visited one of the few pockets of peace in the crisis torn country.
1:20 pm
people. a phrase syrians use for someone who loves life and a good description of this nation's character even during 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 let's get the 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 down to 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 suede that is no coincidence populated primarily by the jews a religious group that incorporates elements of all major faiths sway that has so far proved syria's most successful peace laboratory the locals say it's because
1:21 pm
their culture breeds tolerance. in the lift to be different is a basic right guaranteed by humanity in psuedo we have people of different political opinions but we all respect and accept each other as human beings that's why sweden hasn't witnessed any confrontations we can differ politically but we still want to preserve our homeland we have people who are against the government but they're also against violence there are no army checkpoints on this. streets and no fear of travel snipers on the rooftops business is slower than usual but the outlook is a big this whole show 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 to. have. except to each other what is this. business which you have to accept about
1:22 pm
a culture of those people so i think it's good to open up this while the rest of syria gathers to have funerals in suede that 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 movement in hotels were used to seeing very different people and we'll learn how to accept everybody that's what syria needs 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 human down point. where. we're going right now but.
1:23 pm
maybe they're. going to wait out. thanks be with us tonight this is our tears exactly twenty three minutes past nine at night now i see katie the business has calculated now the u.s. is gearing up for their election season what better way with the voters that we've got has actually right and we're talking about mitt romney here of course on the republican counter that he's not just going for president say now kevin is quite seriously going for gold at the moment it's all to do with this theory that he's actually quite seriously putting towards the vote in the the dollar could be pegged to the gold once again like it was back in the nineteenth century so we could be going to the bank with our pennies and getting gold and exchange now we looked into this further and we spoke to walk in stanley jacob noel and he was saying that this actually means that washington has less power to be out in case of emergency crisis . i don't think so i think if you have a currency this just backed by the gold standard you won't have the kind of
1:24 pm
flexibility to intervene when you have a crisis think what happened when lehman brothers went down and the authorities sat on the sidelines since then through the crisis we've had the fed intervene time and again i'm not saying that there are negative consequences to those interventions but if it hadn't intervened there's a so there's a significant risk that would be in a far worse place than we are today in the great depression in america unemployment was in the high teens low twenty's for years now in america it's just eight percent i think it's a lot worse than it could it's a lot better than it could have been and their hands could have been tied if they'd been tied to a gold standard. very interesting this gets a wall street and see how the stars are getting on that we have had comments from the federal reserve chairman ben bernanke you recently and he has kind of tease the best is really and he said there is room for central banks to take more action in responding to a bunch of questions today they really tried to put them to him and get some sort
1:25 pm
