bizarre to coming to life from moscow i'm marina joshie now this tuesday's main story tension over the hotly contested islands in the east china sea have culminated in an actual water cannon battle some forty taiwanese ships including six patrol vessels earlier and heard the waters of what japan sees as its territory japanese ships fired water cannons when the flotilla tried to get to the largest of the islands turning the vessels away taiwan became the third power to lay claim to the archipelago further aggravating the high stakes route between tokyo and beijing the conflict over the ownership of the uninhabited islands exploded after japan nationalized three of them earlier in september japan based investigative

journalist james corbat warns the route was threatening to turn into a full scale regional confrontation. 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 talk between camber of beijing and tokyo over this dispute so we'll see if it does broaden out into the region we see the u.s. starting its asia 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 renewing military joint military exercises in guam etc so so it is increasing the japanese reliance on the american

security blanket says that as it were and i think that's that plays into american interests so i think they actually probably benefit from this dispute. that details of arson the program director at the american friends service committee who is also an asia pacific expert believes japan's not in the position to risk an economic route west beijing japan certainly is going to pay for this. point costs go on 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 at least for a period of time in fargo the sale the trade of rare earths which are essential to japan's high tech economy at 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 tension in the east china sea are also available on our website r.t. dot com including further pictures of taiwanese fishermen preparing to claim

ownership of the islands and details of ongoing talks between tokyo and beijing now for them to settle the com. 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 faltering economy yanis varoufakis an economist from athens university says greece's creditors knew all too well about the true debt burden but turned a blind eye that is why it hasn't come to light because the troika especially the i.m.f. have decided not to reveal it months ago think it was very well known that marks the europeans and the i think about some of the problems that the problems that they are having destroyed as having is that they didn't want to make good their own failures landing at next of the greek economy from its crisis because they know the interest of the they're only interested in finding

a solution but it's only in spain at the moment and they just don't want any news from greece to be the picture that's all is that instead we're moving towards that the nation in the one hundred thirty days in europe whereby you have two mountains competing against one another as to 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 the manifestation of a post-modern stock nation might be that is like how 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 our sara further 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's feeling the pinch or all of a chilling new research a survey out 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 sort of 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 and u.k. 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 five now also alarming about this latest research is that it's based on very generous assumptions about the future growth in britain now what that means is that even if person manages to repeat and see you give this boost to the economy to start 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 the middle income low income families who need to support the most well you're 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 voice and read but if it does say who it is he stands to gain. and as a poor getting poorer it seems the rich are using every opportunity to continue stuffing their pockets with cash that's later today on the kaiser reports. lloyd's 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 lloyds 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. organized talk talk or 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 star 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 a real job shucking oysters down to cornwall and making cornish pasty for a living and that's the way it should be because they're just caught the stock of terrorists. now the first day

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 the radio president's address to leaders and ministers from over one hundred countries prompted israel's ambassador to walk out in a job also implicitly accuse the u.s. of shielding israel and paving the way for strike on to run this comes just days after washington decided to remove an iranian militant group the amica off its terror blacklist to mob d. the policy director of the national rainin american council believes the sudden change of heart over an organization striving to overthrow the 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 iran 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. 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're watching

r.t. live from moscow coming up this hour. it's a good idea to have sentiment for some reason absolutely not i'm not for hate speech but at the same time we have a first amendment. are to discuss are the catholics and timing of a controversial and muslim. with the arab spring forcing people to flee their homes and had to do work manning have found in their hour of need they've been turned down at the front door and all that and more after a short break. if you're passing through rushes to be a region you really can walk on the wild side thousands of kilometers of unspoilt countryside make up an area where it's still possible to live off the learned and enterprising locals so the fruits of the forest by the side of nearly every road.

such spectacular scenery makes it a paradise for fisherman and provides a business opportunity for hunt is. going on he has been hunting for more than thirty years and works for a company providing expeditions for tourists this season ducks are on the menu. the two things a successful duck hunting need a patient but a bubble. which means that i need to be very quiet i'm not going to frighten the birds or put off. but when you've been in the business as long as he has the birds don't stand much chance. there are defined hunting seasons in russia but lacks enforcement means many animals are killed out of the a lot of times which can leave young animals orphans and unable to survive but environmentalists are fighting back the heart of just us forest provides a sanctuary for the most famous beast in russia. it's home to

a group who rescue often bear cubs and raise them when they're old enough to fend for themselves the cubs a target taken to a remote location and released back into the wild but it's not just bears who find a haven here this is wolf island here wolf pups who've been captured by hunters or bought from zoos have a second chance at life and conservationists have a unique opportunity to observe them these walls are all around four months old and they'll stay in this area for up to three years then most will go back to the wild for good just viewing them from the car was an experience in itself but then after a bit of a bumpy ride came an opportunity i just couldn't pass up. and this is where i was hoping i was coming to a place called. a chance to get close and personal with the locals and it's these guys going to act as pasta parents for the next generation will come here

using the older walls as surrogate parents has already proved a successful technique. every year i place infant wolves with one year old wolf cubs his parental instinct is totally shaped and they take them as their own cubs it's an important part of the world's development and a major factor in the success of a project which has seen more than twenty generations of cubs grow up here it's going to continue to take time and money to rehabilitate the reputation in russia. but the keepers here hope their research and dedication i mean that we foil and remains a place where visitors can truly understand the cool of the wild. welcome

back you're watching r.t. the reason american anti muslim film and the subsequent worldwide protests over it have once again driven the clash of cultures into the spotlight now the yorkers are being pushed to take sides in the conflict between muslims and israel are jesus is here to organize there to find out what locals think. leave the ads calling for the defeat of jihad are being put up in ten subway stations in new york the messages cost him more than six thousand dollars come 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. everything it's a good idea to have an 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 wracked 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 national and just let this thing that i add as a time because they 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 there definitely be some consequences well 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 m tell is allowed to build rimini 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 pretty new york. and the same time as the anti-american protests roll around the globe washington's putting two u.s. soldiers on trial for defiling the corpses of taliban fighters two u.s. marines will be court martialed for you were in aiding on the dead bodies in afghanistan which was caught on camera a videotape surfaced in january this year causing huge embarrassment for the u.s. army and prompting an immediate investigation if found guilty the two staff sergeants could face a maximum penalty of prison three other soldiers involved were sentenced in august after pleading guilty the details of their punishment will be released at a later date and here's some more news making headlines around the globe. we are receiving reports of two explosions in the syrian capital damascus it's believed scores have been killed and injured in the blasts one explosion rocked the international airport while another one hit a syrian intelligence building the blast have reportedly injured many officials
