rejected by to run as politically motivated there was another blow for israel and its western allies when un chief ban ki moon appeared at the summit he condemned to their persistent aggressive couric and threats of a strike on iran jim political analyst eric draitser believes the summit clearly indicates the u.s. efforts to isolate iran have been in vain. the iranians first of all they believe that 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 the united states and israel too to a large extent are terribly embarrassed about the fact that the nonaligned movement summit has gone off as a tremendous success the. a in many ways is part of what the leader in iran called the overt dictatorship of the united nations that is to say that the i.a.e.a. is always led by us produced think tank. individuals like eldora die or

his predecessors who will inevitably execute the agenda of the western powers regardless of whether that contravenes international law. iran plans to return its oil exports to levels they were just before july the e.u. ban and in achieving that to run a space for help from its asian partners japan india and china have been regular customers of iranian crude despite the current sanctions author and journalist afshin of times he believes the nonaligned movement summit has shown the world a real feelings towards iran the united states and nato do not want any type of or sovereignty to remain one aligned movement nations it's a great pity and i hope those capitals as major capitals will get increasingly more frightened by what is happening as the global south comes closer together in their attempts at trying to overthrow what is basic western

a germany their views regarding any type of peace in the middle east will hold far more sway than any here imposed views from london washington or brussels and i suppose the way that they react is by not covering it in the mainstream media as much. still ahead for you this hour she was killed on a boat that's adam in view of a witness to the death of us activist rachel corrie by an israeli army bulldozer despite a court's controversial decision to clear the military from any blame. a black hole at the border hundred thirty thousand people slip through the nets of u.k. immigration control setting alarm bells ringing that this could be just the tip of the i suspect. also acting in bad faith we explore the reasons behind an unprecedented rise of islamic extremism in russia following a series of us s. nations of moderate muslim clerics. right mitt romney officially

accepted his nomination as republican presidential candidate this week as he did so he slammed his rival barack obama saying his handling of foreign affairs was poor romney said a much tougher stuns must be taken towards some countries including russia but critics have questioned much of what he said you know she can explains. mitt romney is now officially barack obama's opponent for the white house and he's talking tough throwing rocks well verbal rocks not only the president but also nations at the republican convention where he accepted his nomination mr romney did not fail to once again highlight his any masorti towards russia he criticized the president for not being hard enough in his view on russia when it comes to missile defense mitt romney says under his administration quote mr putin will see less flexibility and more backbone end of quote and of course that adds up to his earlier statements

that russia is america's number one geopolitical enemy and that they need to reset the reset that's actually what he says on his website as part of mitt romney's foreign policy agenda so yes a lot of tough talk i heard experts say that's how mitt romney makes up for a lack of charisma what's interesting about the backbone comment is that mitt romney himself is often characterized as lacking the backbone as he has flip flopped on so many issues like abortion he was for abortion before he was against it or illegal immigration he was for giving them legal status that he was for deporting them mitt romney is flip flops have been widely discussed they've become an endless source of inspiration for comedians this is this is a joke from the tonight show with jay leno it says actually mitt romney and hurricane isaac have something in common they can both change directions at any moment and another comedian goes obama is like you can be whatever you want to be

while romney is like i can be whatever you want me to be there are tons of jokes about mitt romney and his backbone issues apparently one way of showing some backbone for him is this kind of tough talk full of threats we'll see how far it will take him in this november election. the british high court has smashed the hopes and reputation of russia's self exile tycoon scheme his eyes to its lawsuit against billionaire compatriot roman opera modish was dismissed in one of the most expensive cases in legal history more on that from artist laura smith. the final verdict in this case found against a body that is old school which means that he won't receive a cent of the more than five point six billion dollars that he was asking for for all but imo which run up what i want to promote himself was not in court but it is old scheme was he a relieved looking very upbeat saying that he had full confidence in the british legal system but once the verdict was being read he held his head in his hands and

as he was leaving he appears to have lost confidence in the british legal system now this is a case that has opened up for the viewing of the general public the key world of russia's mega rich and what they go to up to back in the nineteen ninety's the wild east as we called it back then we're talking about sums of money offshore bank accounts elicit payments made between people often in massive sums of cash. or of kools five star hotels ski resorts and enormous business deals done only on the strength of a handshake with no documentation which of course has made this case a very difficult one to judge it's brought to london to school building billionaires along with their own to raj is megger expensive lawyers and bodyguards who walked around this course area in their shades in a menacing way but he spit his old ski says that he was done out of billions of

dollars when he says that i'm over it intimidated him into selling shares in russian metals and oil companies for a fraction of what they were but abramovich says that in fact when never business partners that he was making payments to better but they were only for political protection all ruth in russian but as he wanted five point six billion dollars on top of the one point two billion that he received back in two thousand and two from which this is being one of the biggest civil trials ever held in british legal history it's been. hundreds of hours and resulted in millions of dollars worth of legal fees so we've heard the result of this case no win but that is all the this time around we may see more cases of this nature here in london. by the well the news of that mega rich squabble over billions in london my not go down well in crisis his spain eyecatching hard to come by and one and only is now out of

a job this is according to the latest figures from your stats on that in a few minutes. and two hundred years after the key battle when the russia fought against the invasion of napoleon's c.s.o. relaxing the scratch. a deceit of justice that's how a u.n. official brenda's a verdict by an israeli court or they cleared the military of any blame for the death of u.s. activists rachel corrie she was run over by an army bulldozer in two thousand and three the twenty two year old was taking part in a protest against the demolition of palestinian homes in gaza but the judge ruled that her death was an accident and that she had brought it on herself the verdict sparked a wave of concern among human rights groups who the other case will set a dangerous precedent and allow israel to escape responsibility journalists a tom dale witness cory's a dep and says sure the driver killed her on purpose. is tremendously just pointing

out in the face of what i saw on that day in two thousand and three it's absolutely not possible to characterize what happened next in my view i told the court and as i told the israeli military before the bulldozer driver had a very long drive up. before he got to rachael gearing which time he must have been able to see. both the took place just before she was crushed and she clambered on a mound of earth trying to escape so my mind there's absolutely no doubt that he would have seen a culture in the israeli military community for such crimes and that culture impunity should it take it fortunately sometimes by the courts. but again some muslim leaders in russia have been on the rise as recently prompting fears of

a city growth in radicalism and influential shaikh was killed and she was day in dagestan when a female suicide bomber entered the cleric's home disguised as a pilgrim and blew herself up this comes up a double assault on muslim figures in central russia in july god he's going to find out where the roots of extremism are leading. the trip to work that turned to tragedy that our stance had moved he was driving when it sees a blast through him from his car the man who's been openly against the spread of radical ideas among believers survived to find out his deputy was shot dead in another part of town investigators still don't know the exact motivation behind the attack but the spotlights now on the other stun most people here are muslim and that gets mentioned more and more when it comes to the spread of radical islam in washington yes some of the local muslim communities are financed by arab families from states where it's an official religion because the money has to be worked off

and they demand their ideology is spread here it's insanity like a business is one of the most fundamental branches of islam it's strongly advocated in saudi arabia which backs it up with billions of dollars of support across the muslim world its followers often oppose all other religions sometimes even calling for jihad holy war against them but it is more in the other radical movement of islam of course not part of the official religion here but authorities say different ideas are often taught in small mosques hidden from the mainstream. like this one former house rebuilt into a mosque in one of gazans many apartment blocks they aren't it's the moms deny being radical but admit they do not support their stance official branches of islam many of the we don't divide brother muslims. and there can be no radicalism no terrorism these are words only used by prove a kidders who want to discredit islam we were told here believers are taught

sincerely and equality there are no longer up held in modern society. justice can only be achieved through islam when someone says islam is the only fan way of life and social order they're called radical or extremist and what's the punishment for stealing the band is chopped off. not the kind of punishment you'd find in russia's criminal court nevertheless such ideas are reportedly gaining more support among young muslims for some experts it could be partly to blame on how the list of banned extremist literature was thrown together. often in books by classical world famous author is a band or the some of prophet muhammad saying how can we expect muslims to react and of course the radicals use this to gain influence. of course start their stand is a long way from becoming engulfed by the worst of the radical islam how the state reacts

to the spread of extremism is now key in the wrong could only worsen the situation you've got this kind of r.t. because i understand. for more on this and many other stories here's what you can find there right now. allegedly falls victim to any mom who's accused of trying to frame her blasphemy and i'll call one burning. house on long island here where ok and she and scratching characters from this. game to russian lawmakers find out how. you know as an r.t.a. thanks for tuning in now the latest unemployment figures for the eurozone put it at a record eighteen million in july that's more than ten percent the highest jobless rate since one thousand nine hundred five the worst affected country is maine where quarter of the population is now out of work journalist and author miguel on chill

marotta says that current economic policy isn't bringing a resolution of a crisis any closer we haven't really tackle the problem with the eurozone we just have a program of austerity for all the different countries to reduce the deficit very certainly not and also is not working is a stifling growth which is an even worse problem and we are in the midst of a recession certainly here in spain and very soon in many other european countries so unless we have a clear idea of how to reform the euro we are not in detroit but it's not just the economic crisis it's also the economic policies spain is. is now performing a very harsh agenda of austerity cuts and that is actually biting all sectors of the spanish economy and the problem is that it's not working it's not bringing down the deficit which is the main targets and then as i say it's damaging all the aspects of spain's economy the u.k.

is sounding the alarm over illegal immigration promising to take tough measures and create a hostile environment for those who don't have the right to stay but we feel they can be deported they have to be found and that's what the british legal system is having trouble with as artie's a sara for its reports. the black hole of the u.k. immigration system easy to guess in but no one's been properly tracking who should be and is going out last month chief inspector john vine revealed just how bad things at the u.k. border agency were guessing when he discovered more than one hundred fifty thousand migrants that had been refused the right to remain in the u.k. had simply disappeared some people may have left the country some of them most still be here i think the key fact was that the agency had no idea how many were actually still in the country and how many had left in the wake of the revelations the government began talking tough immigration minister deigning green said warning

sent to immigrants would reduce the number who are overstaying their visa the government's made a lot of noise about its efforts to cut immigration but at the total seven hundred billion pound government spending budget is one point nine billion is allocated to the border agency that's just a third of one percent it's an incredibly small amount and historically underfunded and still cripplingly under-resourced border agencies now under pressure and the latest revelations that more than one hundred fifty thousand migrants the missing could just be the tip of the iceberg let me explain where one hundred fifty thousand figure came from it's just a category of people have applied to extend their leave to remain in the u.k. have been refused and they're going to port au prince a much bigger part of a million sounds about what the number of people here lately about half of which are in london immigration lawyer amir's eighty tells us this the blue agencies don't have any hope of reducing the number of missing migrants they need to radically change their approach i think the u.k.b.a. need to potentially stop promoting

a very tough line because the people who absorb the tough line in the media or of course the markets and sells and they don't come forward if you can promote a transparent and fair lines they will take every case individually. they want to go but these individual groups can stay. most people would come forward this hundred fifty nine would go down instantly and then applications to be processed properly instead it seems it will be a neat database that will be depended upon to track down those staying in britain illegally expected to launch next month amongst the companies bidding for the tender is g four s. g four s. the company that created a high profile controlled the c. recently in its third to deliver enough stuff for the olympic games they're seeking their multi-million pound contract place to aid the cleanup of a catalogue of disasters and mismanagement in the u.k. immigration system so if r.c. london where more on the eurozone crisis next hour including an attempt time to tap

into china as well as german chancellor angela merkel tries to convince beijing to use of the billions to prop up an ailing euro zone. and that big event of the past has been brought back to life in russia thousands of actors in historic uniform have recreated the battle of burra de nor when the russian soldiers for the invasion of napoleon exactly two centuries ago artist tom barton has more from the front line. battle is raging here at the field of bora deano to the west of moscow the french and the russians have squared up the cannons are blasting the infantry is squaring up and the cavalry is preparing to charge and the reenactment of the climactic battle of napoleon's invasion of russia two hundred years before councils of people have turned out to see this reenactment and reenact as a come both for russia and all the way from france and germany to take part really

all of this on the scale of a hollywood film all the people here getting just a part of the experience of what it was like to be present at that great historical moment polian marched into russia in one thousand told with what was there a largest army ever assembled he intended to make imperial russia super peace and so become the master of europe but it was here at this point to the west of moscow that the russians decided to stand and fight the result being an enormous long and brutal slogging much of a battle the french guns pounded the russian lines all day rather like this but the russians failed to break they stood their ground the next day they were forced to retire from the field having lost so many men but polian took moscow but he wasn't able to keep it within two years not only had the polian failed to make imperial

nominated presidential candidates and mitt romney promises a hard line stance against russia faces criticism for flip flopping on previous posts. on the upcoming u.s. presidential election and the troubles with america's political system as we talk to author andrew levine. we're sitting down with an author professor of philosophy and currently a senior scholar at the institute for policy studies injure a living thank you very much for joining me you contributed to a book it's titled hopeless barack obama and the politics of illusion what was the illusion in your opinion and how did it get hopeless well obama of course campaigned on the idea of hope and the possibility of change but he

was skillful in turning himself into something like a rorschach figure which anyone could see whatever they wanted to see the changes were not certainly ruptures with the past. and they dashed at the expectations of virtually every constituency that supported him because they envisioned. transformations of american domestic and foreign policy that were far more far reaching than what obama actually even attempted let alone achieved as far as foreign policy you're writing that president obama's wars could come back to bite him even the ones he didn't start but which you argue are his buy now he pledged to was draw from iraq and afghanistan he says that's what he doing in what way could they bite him well they could all fall apart. in effect the

united states lost both of those wars even before obama assumed office but the imperative that obama faced which was also the imperative that george bush faced in his final years was not to lose face i'd like you to expend a little bit on afghanistan you argue that ghana stand in particular certainly into a face saving operation for the president how is he handling that. well to the extent that he can develop a consensus in the political class in the united states to get out as soon as possible which seems to be happening not particularly through his own initiatives he will get out but unless that develops he is going to happen is going to have to be a continued presence there of some sort which is going to continue to wreak murder and mayhem and not to achieve any of the official objectives that the united states put forward in entering into that conflict in the first place if that explodes then

obama will look bad because the united states will look weak and it will look it will look defeated and that will and that's not a recipe for success for someone who was worked on an electoral campaign aside from the wars already on the u.s. plate you wrote that by far the biggest bullet for president obama to dodge is a war against iran do you think it might actually happen i mean experts even in the was government say so crazy idea. well it looks now like obama has dodged that bullet at least until november by basically by by by buying off israel with our arms what do you think about the president's approach with regards to iran when he's trying to cater to to everybody in a way to the israelis by saying that he would be ready to go to war and to everybody else by saying that he actually doesn't like the drums of war and there's still a chance for diplomacy to work well i think the result is that although he maybe

have succeeded in avoiding the war between now and the election and maybe even afterwards one could hope the rationale for the war remains intact and so the past so the danger that some events could transpire which would lead to which would reignite the danger and maybe even lead to what to look at the eruption of the war remains real and obama hasn't effectively addressed that issue i think this is an instance of a general problem with obama's presidency and it's partly why it's very hard for anyone any of obama's supporters to come up with any reason for. it before supporting him especially for supporting him enthusiastically in the upcoming election other than that the alternative is so much worse. because whatever he's accomplished that could not on balance be. given up

a plus it's always in cumbered by negatives that are very nearly cancel cancel out the benefits the contenders for the republican nomination they have a pretty scary rhetoric when it comes to foreign affairs everyone minus ron paul. they don't seem to have words political solution in there with capillary right and yet you called president obama the most hawkish of the lot why well who's the most hawkish of the lot with respect to some issues they're not with respect to to all issues his position on afghanistan. is at least momentarily probably more hawkish than that of mitt romney they they. they have all of them said that now is the time to get out and obama as the steward of the empire can't say that and so.
