respect to our people our culture and our ethnicity and warn all advocates of multiculturalism they get is 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 the racism groups and proponents of the left there are some resorting to very public displays of opposition. while there's an increasingly vocal washer of ideologies and a rise in political extremes one step up the fringes countries are increasingly criticised for failing to properly engage people on what's needed so what the
2:06 pm
problem out and so much social tensions are testing the limits of tolerance cross europe 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 in. with integration of umist and everyone trying 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 under is brave extra you may have reached a clue. but europe still nowhere near to wending at all to whether that cycle of fear and hatred. this are still the r t brussels. so i had
2:07 pm
seen as greece struggles to satisfy its bailout deal its economy continues to deteriorate but as athens pleads for more time we are asking if its future in the euro zone has already been decided. and in these times of economic uncertainty we could be going back to day takes and filling our wallets with gold out that the u.s. republican party get their way and away i'll explain it all in about fifteen minutes time in the business but within. the realm of the u.n. atomic watchdog a failed to find a way out of the stalemate over to run its nuclear program and fresh talks the meeting it took place amid reports the rounds installed more your radio in richmond facilities that one of its one of its plants let's talk to gareth porter the best could have joined this now list on the u.s. foreign and military policies joining us on the line there from washington i'm mr porter so as i said there are these talks have failed once again whose fault is it you think both parties are equally to blame. but i think what's really going on
2:08 pm
here is that the the i.a.e.a. is following a general strip a script or a strategy that is clearly determined by the major powers primarily the united states which is to keep iran on the defensive and in order to do that of course to keep the idea uppermost in the in the headlines covering this issue of the iranian nuclear program that the iranians are unwilling to cooperate with the i.a.e.a. the issue here is not whether iran is willing to allow the agency to come to look at this site that has been requested by the agency but rather whether the agency is willing to agree to a set of principles governing the broader set of issues surrounding the cooperation between iran and the agency and this is primarily
2:09 pm
a question of whether iran will be allowed to have an exit from the process of being examined or investigated by the i.a.e.a. the i.a.e.a. but basically does not want to have any sort of end point to the process even if the iranians cooperate fully so no end date set even yet full further talks and the longer the stand might go along. i think this stalemate is going to go on as long as the broader or the higher level stalemate between v. iranians and v p five plus one the permanent five members of the security council plus germany continues that is to say as long as there are either talks or the talks have broken down and the two sides are basically talking about what to do now i mean i think the. fact is that the i.a.e.a. is not truly independent it's going to continue to follow
2:10 pm
a line that is convenient for the fee p five plus one when all this is where the costs continuing its accusations today accusing iran of speeding up its work on a nuclear bomb but those claims lead to any further action i go back to what you just said who is likely to blink first for want of a better word. well i've been saying for some months now that the whole idea that benjamin netanyahu really seriously contemplates an attack on iran is really quite fanciful i mean the fact is that he has been even more cautious in in reality than his predecessor who would all merge whose government actually did threaten our right to attack iran quite explicitly whereas in fact the present prime minister has never explicitly said if the iranians refused to stop their nuclear program we will attack them what he really wants is for the united states to do that on his suggestions it's him along these lines are really intended to
2:11 pm

2:16 pm
it implements all of the promised reforms anyway. it's really rather sob 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 perhaps 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 is 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 the euro crisis which is making a decision and actually how she made any decisions a couple of years ago it would have been a lot better than the than the last a plus the sticking plaster is that if you don't like to this euro crisis the truth is there's no messing around here greece

2:19 pm
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 don't like it let it remain with objects life is usual here people come to the park with their families every night nothing has changed. it's a striking 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 suede that is no co-incidence 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 their culture breeds tolerance. in the lift to be different is
2:20 pm
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 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 going to violence then no army checkpoint on the streets and nor fear of rebel snipers on the rooftops business is slower than usual but the outlook is a bit these hold open the doors just two weeks ago as general manager is convinced that tolerance both political and religious always pays off. have to continue. people have to. have to. accept each other. with the. you have to accept about a culture of those people so i think it's good to

2:22 pm
just catch up on the business now it's coming to twenty two minutes past the moscow time hi katie now you're telling us but earlier that we could be of or some kind of golden era so it makes a change from all the doom and gloom for sure but nothing comes of that a catch all exactly well that's it kevin that's right because that's what the experts say at the moment as i myself very well talking about having gold again but what is the catch here and that's why we've been talking to experts because some people in saying it's madness is it's not going to work simply because there isn't enough gold in the world anymore to be able to use it in this way and earlier we spoke to jacob no he's from morgan stanley and he gave us his opinion on the matter as i have a sense this. i don't think so i think if you have a currency 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
2:23 pm
searched on the sidelines since then through the crisis we've heard the third 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 you know a far worse place than yours today in the great 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 is a lot better but it could have been and their homes could have been tied if they'd been toit's to a gold standard. certainly pros and cons for sure let's have a look at the markets and we'll see how wall street is getting on because the markets that are still out there we have some comments coming out earlier from the federal reserve chairman ben bernanke when he says there is room for the central bank to take more action in responding to a bunch of questions today in the media and that's given investors a kind of glimmer of hope and just anything he says great is just going to be
2:24 pm
a word in that really filters through the markets take a fast and is the technology stocks have been leading the pack really overshadowing disappointing economic data domestically which included orders the capital goods they did decline let's have a look at the european markets there because they aren't being closed but brits and they had a bit of a. i don't know if you can call it good news actually because it's data showing that the economy shrank less than first bit in the second quarter say ok there is good but they do remain in a double dip recession and if you look at the foot because they say is completely and utterly france it's a real lackluster performance and the reaction was pretty pretty muted but if we look on a weekly performance in last out one point six. let's talk about the year of them because it's still managing to decline now the chancellor angela merkel of germany she did say that the goal of the austerity measures is to help reach the light at
2:25 pm
the end of the tunnel we know they've been really searching for more time to meet their bills and once again ensure the markets that greece will stay in the euro zone they've heard that many times before now the russian ruble had a mixed performance you saw that just get into the equity markets them because they did manage to finish in negative territory this week they were really mirroring what was happening in europe and responding to the boarding oil prices which have in recent hours regain ground but that was after the russian markets closed also wanted to mention as well that foreign direct investment rose seven billion dollars that was in the first half of this year so that was a little bit of a positive data happening here in moscow today and the united aircraft corporation is building a new mid-sized carrier to compete with the boeing seven three seven an airbus a three twenty and i have some one hundred forty seats and have a completely new design not based on the current super jets it will give the country a good range of seven aircraft with plans already announced to build
