what i can about a lot of fear a disputed islands in the east china sea after some forty taiwanese vessels move in on the territory only to be forced into retreat by japanese patrol vessels. the rainy and president delivers a fiery speech at the un general sandwich using his rule of illegally possessing nuclear stockpiles and of occupying palestine while he also attacks the us for all the siding with the jewish state. and fighting fire with fire a provocative until his mom makes its debut on the new york subway and

a move that could inflame anti-american protests or is in the muslim world even more. nottingham of the russian capital you're watching r t with me marina joshua into the program and was started to with his warnings main developing story well tension over the hotly contested islands in the east china sea has culminated in an actual water cannon battle some forty taiwanese ships including six patrol vessels earlier entered the waters of what japan sees as its territory japanese ships then reportedly used a water cannon no when the flotilla tried to get to the largest of the islands now the taiwanese ships which are sailing under banners claiming ownership of the archipelago are said to have are treated internationalize to. waters the conflict

between tokyo at beijing over the uninhabited islands exploded two weeks ago and has also seen a large scale protest in both countries japan based investigative journalist james combat warrants the route he's threatening to involve more than just two nations i think we have to understand this entire dispute not in terms of the islands themselves which most average japanese and average chinese people i think don't don't really care about i think this is being played up as a as a nationalist sentiment nationalist fervor it has the potential to to get bigger and right now australia is being proposed as a third party to arbitrate in a trilateral security talks between camber of beijing and tokyo over this dispute so we'll see if it does broaden out into the region we see the us starting its age of pacific pivot so i think it actually has an interest in increasing tensions between japan and china because that makes japan ever more eager to accept an american military presence which up until now there's been quite strong protests

against but now we see them really military joint military exercises in guam it cetera so so it is increasing the japanese reliance on the american security blanket says that as it were and i think that that plays into american interests so i think they actually probably benefit from this dispute that joseph harrison the program director of the american friends service committee who is also an asia pacific expert believes japan's not in the position to risk an economic rout with beijing japan certainly is going to pay for this. boycott score now of japanese products a number of japanese factories in china had to close at least temporarily during the last crisis over these islands the chinese delish for a period of time in fargo the sale the trade of rare earths which are essential to japan's high tech economy that's the same time china needs japanese investment so you know a war would a war would cost both. all the details worth knowing on the regional attention in

the east china sea are also available on our web site r t v dot com including further pictures of taiwanese fish and then preparing to claim ownership of the islands and details on going talks between tokyo and beijing in an effort to settle the conflict. international creditors have uncovered a massive gap in the greek budget the twenty billion euro shortfall is twice as big as it was believed and could now delay the next cash injection into the country's full three economy yanis varoufakis economist from athens university says greece's creditors knew all too well about the true debt burden but turned a blind eye. the reason why it hasn't come to life is because the story goes especially if the i.m.f. decided not to reveal it months ago it was very well known amongst the europeans and the us for a moment from the problem that they are having a very good story is that. because their own failures are running next

it's of the greek economy from its crisis because there are these they're only interested in finding a solution what is in the spring of the moment and they just don't want any news from greece to be the picture that's all he says instead we're moving toward a nation in one hundred thirty days in europe whereby you have two mountains competing against one another which one is the highest amount of this and banking losses and then a mountain of savings i have no where to go i do savings these to be them and frustration over post-modern stagnation might be like now the average income of a household in the u.k. continues to spiral down and that's while the government reveals plans to shovel billions out of the welfare budget britain spirit of survival might help jumpstart the economy but as artists are first explained that will hardly be enough to drag the poor out of the financial swamp. britain's in the midst of a double dip recession and everybody feeling the paint or all of a chilling new research has revealed that the gap between britain's rich and poor

is widening in fact if you are one of the middle income or low income families in the way to tighten your belt even further it's so that by twenty twenty an average low income family could see their net income full by as much as fifteen percent i think is really worrying for low income households because it shows that we don't just have a growth problem if you like an e.k.g. shows that even once growth those kick in households across the bottom half are going to be poor in twenty twenty than they were in twenty that it was so alarming about this latest research is that it's based on very generous assumptions about the future growth in britain that what that means. says that even if the person manages to repeat and give this to the economy it starts slowly dragging its way out of this recession the not everybody is going to benefit and the ones who are going to be hardest hit going to be those middle income and low income families now in an age of austerity britain's government's been accused of waging war on

britain's poor chancellor george osborne wants to cut a further ten billion from the welfare budget again having that knock on effect to middle income low income families who need to support the most well they are on today we caught up with the resolution foundation to talk to them about this latest research they conducted there posing the all important question not just if and how . but if it does who it is he stands to gain. has the poor are getting poorer it seems the rich are using every opportunity to continue stuffing their pockets with cash and at later today on the kaiser report. boys anti-fraud boss who stole two point four million pounds told police she deserved cash for long hours the fraud took place during the financial crisis when boyd's itself was receiving substantial amounts of taxpayer money so again. this woman for some reason gets arrested and sent to five years in prison for doing the same exact

thing that ironically or not her bank was receiving billions and billions of these taxpayer money out here to bail out for their own fraud that's the way things get at the end of the organized top talker say is that those who are actually doing something to benefit society as this woman is obviously doing to try to put lloyd's out of business that i see fantastically here in the city of london that thousands of caucus stock or c. bankers investment bankers will now be laid off this is fantastic this means that we are doing our job so that george osborne and david cameron i say that we're here we're on a mission to put the city of london completely out of business so far the news is good all those people are being shipped out of the city they're being forced to get real jobs shucking oysters down to cornwall and making course pasties for a living and that's the way it should be because they're just caucus talk to terrorists. the first

day out of the u.n. general assembly in new york was quite predictably marked by boiling over of tension between iran and israel iranian president mahmoud ahmadinejad used his speech at the gathering to denounce israel's alleged nuclear stockpiles and its occupation of palestine they were in president's address to leaders and ministers from over one hundred countries prompted israel's ambassador to walk out ahmadinejad also implicitly accuse the u.s. of shielding israel and paving the way for strike on to iran this comes just days after washington decided to remove an iranian militant group the mac off its terror blacklist jamal the policy director of the national running american council believes the sudden change of heart over an organization striving to overthrow the reigning regime is no coincidence. u.s. officials went public they went to n.b.c. and said is working with mossad to conduct assassinations inside of iran so there is clearly at least reportedly still

a paramilitary aspect to this group and they are committed to advancing their political agenda by using violence and here's the thing if these guys could. pressure their way off the terrorist list they could pour millions of dollars into the top lobbying firms in the united states and basically manufacture this campaign to achieve their political agenda here imagine what they're going to do now that the any case off the list and you have all this money that we don't know where it's coming from is swirling around and the next push is we need war with iraq there could be no mistake that this campaign was a campaign to make war more likely this was part of the push for war when you have negotiations between the u.s. and iran the number one hurdle from the iranian side is this perception that the united states doesn't actually want to negotiate a resolution to the nuclear issue that this is about regime change just like on our side our number one concern is we can't trust the iranians that they don't want to nuclear weapons this adds fuel to the fire inside of iran that this is really about

regime change in the united states is not going to accept any kind of diplomatic resolution. you want to live from moscow coming up this hour. it's a good idea to some to me for some reason absolutely not for hate speech but at the same time we have a first among our team discusses the assets and timing of the controversial and muslim plots. with the arab spring forcing people to flee their homes and had to europe manning have found in their hour of need they've been turned down at the front door all that more after a short break. to see no one should be proud. of scrap metal littering pristine arctic landscape building stilton over their foundation pipes spewing black smoke over the snow covered peaks the traces of the soviet industrial activity on the spitzbergen

archipelago don't make a pretty picture the guiding principle here is the worse the better locals like to tell this story that back in soviet times when norwegians were visiting baron's words they also expressed. how prosperous this settlement was well times have obviously a challenge when they saw it lags they still attracting the region tourists or barons work cons and much needed cash that's why when business bad there ruining our goal is common as was uncovered here a few days ago instead of throwing it away the local administration decided to paint the bin you and put it at variance work central square that can do nine hundred eighty daryn's work was a burgeoning mining community the soviet union was determined to maintain its own costs. are located halfway between north america and western europe in archipelago is part of norway but

a special status that allows other countries to set up industrial base. it's here in the middle of the cold war it served as the useless hours westernmost outpost now it's one of the soviet union's last preserved relics. barracks back is essentially a picture of what would have happened to the soviet union if it was cut off from any financial support for two decades it's a curious site for western tourists and i think it could be even more appealing for russians travelers to keep its presence on spitsbergen russian film until a coal mine here but in terms of profit is far behind local souvenir shops so we claim or bill it is a big hit the defunct arn curtain still helps keep the money flowing guys it's all rushing through your words you can't buy the rubbles there on the. euro the local administration is increasingly under pressure to bring the infrastructure up to more than standards if these modernization efforts are not very popular with

tourists if you come into a very authentic place like. it should stay the way it is that would be my wish i mean that's the part of the let you know authentic tradition here. i should not i would not like to have it in a shiny condition to be on as the time to change even for the better is not always good for business something that even a local band has become attuned to when they try to add morning russian songs to the repertoire the audience called all they wanted to hear it was a song comfortably familiar.

welcome back you're watching r.t. the recent american and muslim film and the subsequent worldwide protests over it have once again driven the clash of cultures in the spotlight now new yorkers are being pushed to take sides in the conflict between muslims and israel or jesus as he took his there to find out what locals think. believe that calling for the defeat of jihad or being put up in ten subway stations to new york to miss just cost ever more than sixty thousand dollars comes from a group that's accused of sparking hate by critics but has been given the green

light by new york authorities only going up this monday the ads are already causing much debate are they too offensive to the muslim community or does freedom of speech conquer all let's find out what new yorkers have to say about this i'm shocked that that mayor bloomberg and his people are allowing that which is going to lead on to more and anti everything it's a good idea to have anti islamic sentiment for some reason absolutely not but just perpetuates anti people sentiment controversial of course it's controversial is poisonous in the new york city subway system you know this is a city that's been racked by a trauma for years and years and here we are after eleven years of war still using the language of war these ads are going up in new york subway stations today but what do you think about this. while i support israel the safety and peace and security of israel i'm not for hate speech but at the same time we have a first amendment is there really a very fine line between freedom of speech and offending but there is this freedom

of speech there's also freedom of religion so you have to walk a fine line should be inside muslim but people still should be aware what they're doing the anti muslim ads are popping up at a time when protests continue raging in the middle east over film depicting the prophet mohammad so should new york officials have considered not just the substance but also the timing of this campaign they ought to be less this caution and just let good thing that i add as a time because they are you know they hate us over there whenever you start speaking against religion especially when tensions are globally the way that they are yeah i think they're not going to be some consequences well i could see how could my things complicated. where they would have an effect on the u.s. but we could use this as something against the u.s. do you think this could have a more dangerous consequence. it's really for the united states sure the anti islam ads will remain in new york city subway stations for a month and whether they could lead to more dire consequences than just sparking debate is exactly what remains to be seen as they see it you're going to
