iran says it would have retaliated with full force against any attack israel draws up a case for war. elaborate hoax or special george's word is question as alleged links between special services and terrorists come to light. and. to the hilt as president. first budget critics say this will only see money from the country.

it is two o'clock on a sunny friday afternoon here in moscow this is life with me wrong. iran says it is strong enough to defend itself and will retaliate with force against any attack after israel ramped up its war rhetoric before the world community of course the u.n. general assembly. has been following developments for us in new york. israel's prime minister benjamin netanyahu took to the podium to address the international body and presented somewhat of a show wintel his diplomatic approach this year in his speech was to hold up somewhat of a cartoonish figure of a bomb to indicate what he believes is iran's nuclear program he was holding

up this drawing literally drew a red line and it he indicated israelis believe that iran has enriched seventy percent. of the rhenium to make a bomb and at the ninety percent line these are really prime minister drew a red line with a marker to indicate that the international community he says should draw that line and if you run across is that why it would lead to military intervention benjamin netanyahu says that sanctions over the past seven years that have been placed on tehran has not deterred them from continuing their nuclear program and so he was trying to rally the world body to take a more forceful actions against iran but clearly this was a different tactic most representatives take what addressing the international

community usually they give somewhat of a speech there is some tension rising between the u.s. and israel over iran because the u.s. has not been as forceful with this red line rhetoric as israel has been an israel is hoping that the u.s. will be more aggressive in setting in which there could be side of kind of consequences put upon iran if iran continues its nuclear program so clearly a lot of issues being discussed at the u.n. as all these world leaders are meeting in new york for the week. what is more important reporting right benjamin netanyahu or did estimate that a time frame of spring or summer of two thousand and thirteen for iran to complete the next stage of its uranium enrichment a middle east commentator ramsey but who says the israeli prime minister is treading on some very dangerous ground he is dealing a hole for himself he provided this timeline of one year where we can't possibly be

go beyond that so he basically committed himself directly or indirectly that he is going to destroy iran's nuclear ambitions within one here if nothing is being done about it and in a way i feel like you are i think it's a message also to the united states that if you do not back us up we are going to act unilaterally and we know the power of the israeli lobby in washington and elsewhere in america they are not going to allow this to happen so we are going to see you one year of constant israeli pressures to drag the united states into another war they do not see eye to eye when it comes to iran they do not see eye to eye when it comes to many issues including the occupation is really occupation of palestine now the challenge is will obama hold his ground or will he in the selling out the same way that he did in the past i think this is the challenge and i think this timeline is not just concerning iran but it's also concerning the united states itself. this is art hey now in georgia reported it it killed eleven

suspected militants last month it claimed had crossed from the russian republic of dagestan some were convinced there was more to the news than met the eye another hole and here terror raid is actually being questioned as an elaborate hoax to discredit russia. going off explains why there are big doubts over what exactly happened. the outcome of a recent alleged police operation near georgia's border with russia's republic of dagestan eleven suspected terrorist dead b.b.c. says that the armed men were chechens who crossed into georgian territory and kidnapped around ten locals before being caught by police the news bread's quickly but not everyone is buying it. this was all organized by georgian security services the lack of transparency and details about the incident has led many to believe the full so-called empty terror operation was

a complete hoax georgian authorities have been very successful in creating an image of a modern western civilised state a beacon of freedom by force w. bush once called it but in this case the opposition is accusations are fighting supporters on the other side of the caucasus meet his duty on the arm of he spent two decades fighting on the side of chechen militants against the moscow officially representing them in georgia he also has doubts about what really happened at this latest water operation but. first of all their weapons were american made second none of them fired off a single shot that's not so the uniforms of the so-called fighters were brand new that was saakashvili plan he sent his guys across the border into russia and then had them shot by the georgian police this was a setup just to frame russia no one will ever be able to prove anything of course. he said he cleans the easiest for dijon with terrorists began in the ninety's when

you personally helped chechen separatists by delivering weapons and aid from georgian. surely the pankisi gorge in georgia is really close to chechnya it takes just ten minutes to fly across the border by helicopter so we helped our warriors from georgian territory from the gorge we delivered weapons money to the injured and then send them all around the world for treaty. and all with the help of georgian security services and. we got the weapons from the depositories of the georgian terrace center our guys came there with cash were able to choose whichever weapons they wanted and bought them an. album of says the really interesting didn't diminish even after president saakashvili came to power a man often bridge street is an envoy of democracy. everything is still controlled by the anti terror center the mujahideen and the gym are are in its hands they are

their people any chechen who lives in georgia and wants to study in an islamic country has to go through the antiterrorist center they tell you to tbilisi you go to this center meet with some official and they won't let you go into you say yes to you agree to work for them are them of graeme's that his knowledge almost cost him his life going to solution attempt he was allowed to return to church with a green light from russian authorities after he asked for forgiveness now he plans to reveal everything he knows what was going on r.t. grozny the chechen republic. for you here on the program on r.t. other prime minister's question time despite being educated at eton and oxford thank you case leader suffers an epic fail over a mock british citizenship test all those details are just in a couple of minutes. taxing the rich and cutting public spending at the standard tools governments resort to when trying to balance their country's budget

and that's what french president francois hollande is going to do it seems set to present what he dubbed france as the toughest budget for thirty years but the stubborn lack of economic growth and skywriting unemployment have triggered fears the measures could only land france in even deeper trouble is where if a national reports. they force. offers to marry. young destroys year assures about both up as you go there i bridge the time of crisis is over it's now time for france's president francois round to perform a miracle this is how some of the task facing all along in his first annual budget and the country's image in the faltering eurozone is also at stake the government needs to save thirty billion euros in twelve months to reduce the deficit from this year's four and a half percent to three percent the e.u. ceiling for member countries higher taxes for business and wealthy individuals are

expected to bring twenty billion and all and has outlined a plan to save the other ten billion by cuts in public spending. nor has worked in a handful of french ministries over the last twenty years he says france is currently there may fall into the same trap many of his predecessors did but walking towards. the past decades of governments have been cutting and cutting and cutting mostly to expenses to balance budgets but in fact the more they cut the slower the economic growth and consequently more cuts this will be a catastrophic budget i think taxing the rich and unprecedented seventy five percent for those that earn however a million euros a year was one of our lands crucial election promises allowed a publisher editor and a french millionaire says the move is nothing but a political game. you did this to me because electric calm down to make an

impression is doing something but this is all bluff it can't help it's simply not enough there's not that many rich people and friends all while we sit in a man's house in belgium where the businessman moves to avoid high taxes at home he tells me many of france's reach and their money will follow suit dysthymia said the worst is the people who are now happy that the rich are being is one issue. i don't understand how the government will start with the rich when they fail to succeed and i'm one hundred percent certain rules will descend on the total tax the poor. some experts warn that not only french money but foreign capital will also flee with such a gloomy outlook projected for the future the current situation is not too bright either last week the country's unemployment surpassed three million for the first time in years french president francois complained slow going towards change is now today four months on the rotten signs of many changes here in the country but while

france is economically struggling with an almost huge budget deficit and an employment level the highest it's been in more than a decade the question is whether the change that people here voted for has been for the better. or if not. paris france and of course r.t. is coming to you live from the heart of moscow i'm wrong and i'll have more news for you after a very short break. looking at some dogs you simply do not believe they come speak and goodness how they can wrong oh. it's an international sled dog race with those driving the dogs. coming from as far away as a strength in canada and the us they come to russia and everybody is so very friendly they welcomed me with open arms and the scenery is so beautiful it's very

much like alaska and so i felt at home the first sled dog was brought here from australia now a stray i've come to this remote russian village to take part in the race it's not surprising they love it this trail ira mazie. but even more amazing is the story of how racing first started here at all it wasn't the tough mushers of sled dog racing who set the trail ablaze but a nun and for all friends who brought their idea to life. five years ago. built a dog kennel in the village kids from the local open h. came around to take care of the dogs and one day they state their life might seem extreme to some the boys wake up at six to feed the dogs before school in the evening they spend up to three hours training their full legged friends but smother her scare also encourages her kids to become depth hands on the computer and

internet the boys who regularly update their website and they're in touch with busy ma the twenty four seven on the phone itself. but children are the most important thing my only interests not play any rule any more and regardless of whether parsky has hoskins window race or not she hopes the competition will take place in the village next year. but called these dogs and the children it really is not the winning but truly just the taking part that counts. wealthy british style.

markets i'm campbell find out what's really happening to the global economy for a no holds barred look at the global financial headlines to name two cars a report on our tree. line. would be so much brighter if you move it. from. steve. santagati dot com. thanks for joining us here on our to today appearing on american t.v. has certainly proved to be a hard test for british prime minister david cameron he failed to answer some key questions in a mock u.k. citizen exam by the chat show host but as i found out the prime minister is not alone when it comes to gaps in historical knowledge. to life in the u.k.

citizenship test a must for anyone wanting to qualify for a british possible according to the government studying for it is meant to help all those hoping to make the u.k. their home integrate better into british society just last year prime minister david cameron in paris changes to the format of the exam saying that instead of honoring questions on european institutions british culture and history needed to take priority and during his car visit to the us mr cameron made an appearance at the david letterman show where he was faced with the u.k. citizenship test of his own. a royal brittania. written by home i mean it's it's the iconic association with the british empire for your just testing me that. i'll go i'll go for magna carta literally means great for the great charter and as we pointed out the seeds of democracy really brittania

which is a beautiful refrain. based on appalled by james thompson a familiar with james thompson well i'm not. the british media had a field day over the oxford an eton educated lead as epic fail over the questions about the magna carta and the rule britannia one of the real questions on the u.k. citizenship test all six how many problem entry constituencies there are in the united kingdom the correct answer six hundred and fifty now we've come to the u.k.'s national library to find out if the londoners hit can answer that question correctly would you be able to tell me how many constituencies there are in the u.k. . sorry i just don't know would you be able to so many constituencies there are in the u.k. no child. so it looks like david cameron is not the only one to struggle with the aunt says every year over one hundred thousand people take the test with as many as

one in three failing fortunately for them unlike the british prime minister that his career had ended during the show they can enjoy as many retakes as they like. it is part of book reporting that russia is on the warpath against genetically modified corn it's off to the findings of a french scientist's cost a new shadow over the u.s. agriculture giant monsanto already dead usually scandal and cold case so that's. almost all the details on this good to see you what has a prompted russia to take this kind of action well roy is certainly interesting this all stems from a french study that was released in mid september that is now become known as the infamous rat tumor study in the study they took the genetically modified corn encased six o three from months and placed it against natural corn over a two year period and what they found is that rats fed on a diet of months santo corn had a higher rate of occurrences of untimely death organ failure and tumor growth now as a result russia has banned monsanto corn from being imported in to russia and they

have also asked of their own scientists to take a look at the study conduct their own tests to see what they find so this ban is temporary right now what does this mean on an overall scale among santo has of course gone against the study saying that it doesn't even meet the bare minimum requirements of scientific research and they've also kind of neglected it saying that this isn't going to have a real impact on their sales because russia is a net grain exporter rather than an importer russia also already has in place a band of four genetically modified. products here in meaning that farmers cannot plant those in their fields so it's not expected to have a large impact in russia as well but if you look at what france is doing they're taking a look at the study they themselves are in the process of considering a ban which is believed that that could spark a european wide trend to ban them in central corn and that is something that the company is not looking at favorably but also if you look at overall products this

isn't just corn on the cob or corn that you get as a vegetable on your table we have corn syrup and. sweeteners that are used to sweep . many soft drinks around the world so this could have a much larger effect as well now if you look at monsanto corporation united states they have some troubles there as well more than two thousand farmers have signed a petition to get the u.s. government to study further this specific type of genetically modified corn also in california there's proposition thirty seven which would require food labels to say hey this is been genetically modified monsanto doesn't want that they've actually lobbied against proposition thirty seven by putting more than four million of their own money against prop thirty seven so they've got their own troubles in the states and here as well right now this temporary ban is in effect until russia can take a look at it and determine the safety of fact of this corn here in russia or i'm almost there thank you. the idea of starting with the hometown of saddam hussein

into the artsy world up there we go and at least twelve people reporters were being killed in the iraqi city of to create where militants clashed with security forces and the attack targeted a prison allowing be a scape of dozens of inmates many prisoners barricaded themselves in the jail taking the warden hostage the attack comes after al qaeda in iraq announced plans to regain territory and free its jailed members. a powerful explosion has rocked a south korean chemical plant leaving at least four people dead and eight with severe injuries around six hundred residents living near the crippled factory worker moved to safety as toxic gas spread around the scene of the incident police are currently investigating the cause of it all. and spain's deputy prime minister has told catalonia it cannot hold an independence referendum without asking the rest of the country first that's after the parliament in spain's richest region agreed to hold a vote saying it would be easier for catalonians to tackle the financial crisis

alone meanwhile in madrid a fresh round of austerity measures was announced that will see more cuts to social programs and tax hikes of course that are flying around the capital this week to cause violent clashes in which over sixty people were injured i. guess in business here on r t there is mr daniel rochelle good to see you down south america the new hunting ground for russian oil for here and if there's one the right to a joint or a field in venezuela will pump sixteen billion dollars in to go to venezuela c.b.p. it's a busy time rules and also tying up of all cross ownership deal with britain's b.p. really as the details. there are more twists and turns in this field than in the museum of the park ride to really get the full picture when you take a look at the you makes up and how we got so this point so the british partners are here the russian side is represented by a tension between the two has been brewing for years culminated when

b.p. decided to venture out on its own and partner up with another oil major that was wrong to explore the arctic a are of course would have a none of that so the decision and the deal in court last year you see the brits were on the legal obligations to go through their mean. for any oil and gas operations in the country so this was the first time b.p. tried to ditch its russian partners but i wouldn't be the last he has always been close to the kremlin and its. enough as a very appealing a partner and that's why it's not letting that go that easily so what have they decided to do the brits are now selling their fifty percent stake now the initial price tag was twenty five billion dollars wrong and that has all for the fifteen billion dollars which is hardly close but it does come with a twelve and a half percent stake in the company the warmth of one is

a very appealing proposal. is now set to be considering a cash for the higher stake and this for the brits cannot refuse and haven't sent all of the b.p. has committed to use the money gets from the sale for mutual projects with of also have such as exploring the arctic shelf so at the end of the day no matter who gets the fifty percent stake bottom line is the b.p. will find a way to review knowledge and partner up with its new found squeeze. revealed a tough new cost costing lives. marks of the country with e.u. bailout first restricting euro games bad time for the dollar all round september maybe the ruble biggest gain since january crude crude prices back over ninety two dollars a barrel today that's sending a high in the afternoon here and that's what we've got time for this we'll have

more for you in around fifty minutes i don't know thank you see that. just a few minutes or an r.t. will be talking to a british labor politician jeremy corp and he's one of eighty m.p.'s who have signed their support for the palestinians bid to be a nonmember observer state of the united nations just a second. gracefully . it is a way of life traditionally the people are. herders and. they are also highly skilled and organized. depending. on the day we found this particular camp they were settled near the

coast of the sea here four families work together to manage nearly a thousand. people and. they can use almost every single part of the right to help them survive. the deer is a means of transportation. equipment. for the. life in the tundra is harsh and so before winter hits many of the children are helicoptered to the center of the district for boarding school. students learn different languages utilize modern technologies through specialized grant programs and even learn art skills all within a protected the school was founded. a scientist who wanted a better way of life for his people but even with the most progressive ideas in

education many say they don't want to trade the modern life. i have returned to the time and i actually like it here if you're outside there's fresh air fresh water looks at the site you can see deer it's a joyful sight. a sentiment that hopefully ensures that russia's northern reindeer will have caretakers for generations to come. it is easy to do it's. easy to. culture is that so much of a given to each musician the power to try and talk to friends who are getting

a rant in the fog of impending war while the u.s. and israel publicly disagree on how to foreign red lines when it comes to iran's nukes. get off sometimes you see a story and it seems so for lengthly you think you understand it and then you glimpse something else you hear or see some other part of it and realized everything you thought you knew you don't know i'm tom harpur welcome to the big picture. i'm talking to jeremy corbett he's one of more than eighty m.p.'s to have signed it their support for palestinian statehood jeremy so your for a two state solution yes i think palestine should be recognized they've been out of

the cold for a very long time they are now recognized by a very large number of states individually around the world it's time for the un to do the same attempts to create a palestinian state have been failing for almost two decades now can things be different now what's different is that more land has been taken more walls have been built more people have been put in prison and a lot of the palestinian people are extremely desperate and i think it is high time the u.n. since it does recognize the needs of palestinian people through. and also through their membership in your school it's time for them for now recognize palestine as the state it seems to be some but the main opponents of this are israel and the united states for what reason i can only speculate is the land grab then israel's answer to all of this if it can grab enough land then the problem defacto doesn't exist anymore well israel has been grabbing land from.
