9:12 am
issued during the summit claimed iran's doubled its nuclear capacity by installing new year reign him in richmond centrifuges to a problem that rejected that document saying it was all politically motivated geo political analyst eric draitser thinks the i.a.e.a. has never been an impartial body. the iranians do it partially for self-preservation they also do it for propaganda purposes and to lend themselves clout on the world stage they have the inherent right according to the nuclear nonproliferation treaty that they have the right to have a nuclear program so long as it's for peaceful purposes as is now accepted international law so i think that's the first one the second one of course is the geopolitical reality that they look around them you look at the map and they see that they are surrounded literally on all sides by the united states or various allies of the united states and the principle is quite clear that the united states will invade nations that do not have the threat of nuclear weapons and the united.

figures going to tehran and many major world leaders have come to the country in addition the president of egypt into iran which is a political earthquake the iranians are producing uranium. enriched uranium at twenty percent for facilities in tehran which then produce medical isotopes the fact that the united states and the europeans tried to prevent iran from obtaining that fuel in the past that meant that they were taking the running cancer patients hostage the irony here is that the iranians at the beginning had no intention whatsoever to produce twenty percent and then produce nuclear fuel but the americans and the europeans by taking. citizens and people hostage forced the iranians to take that step the politicians senior politicians really know that an attack on iran would be devastating for the united states and not only

shelters up to scratch now the pressure doesn't make any mention of any kind of meat on the ranch but certainly it is giving some kind of urgency and there have been those who've suggested that it is really the day to day by israeli politicians in preparation for human and war and certainly for that kind of rhetoric coming out of the israeli political elite some officials have said that we're looking at a civilian conference some five hundred people in any kind of war that would follow and israeli strike on the run parallel to the brochure there is an advert that you're writing on israeli television and it shows the way in general we sit with the israeli army officers and they're trying to convince him to give their support in an israeli attack on an enemy state presumably the ranch the general at that stage take a bite of the chocolate hazelnut sitting in front of him and he said something along the lines of let's go nuts which the israelis misinterpret to mean that he has given them the green light for this operation for the missile stock to fall cry
9:17 am
and you have those. that's the way. the israelis that we have been putting up there rick and it does seem as if there is something on the go we have heard some israeli politicians on record saying that a strike on iran is going to mean that the official line from the government in terms of this procedure and when we spoke to the only was that it is nothing more than just a general public awareness campaign that people need to know what to do in a state of emergency what is the i'll be. your authority and still to come this hour innocence or impunity. rights activists lash out at washington's drive to put an end to the probe into the cia's interrogation tactics they say torture is being swept under the carpet. the beaches of ukraine's crimea draw thousands of tourists every summer however

9:19 am
twenty ten the integrity warranty of these bottles officially expired meaning that starting from twenty eleven these containers can start falling apart. if poisonous substances are released into the sea water the consequences could be unimaginable gas can theoretically kill everything within forty kilometers however the state ecological watchdog firmly denies this threat even exists. are divers and specialists from the interior ministry check the bottom of the sea or the board tori's tested water for poisonous substances and we found nothing. but this recently declassified documents suggest the opposite in two thousand and four crimea's authorities urged private colleges to check the coastline for threats that is when those containers were found former m.p. oleksandr crucial is probably the only politician in ukraine who is making comments on the issue because she says the authorities are deliberately keeping the public
