it is gather their tents and move to another part sure they travel hundreds of kilometers in winter we men and children for them. to families have less of a chance to come across each other they belong to different worlds even though these songs are similar. to half past four on a sunday afternoon here in moscow this is r.t. the u.k. is reportedly planning to send a warplanes to the persian gulf where jets will be stationed in the united arab emirates just a couple of hundred kilometers from iran britain's defense ministry insists there's no connection to concerns over iran's nuclear ambitions but antiwar activist john

research finds that rather hard to swallow. this is not the first report we've had all western increased deployments in the area there have been a whole spate of them in recent weeks and months which all point in the same direction or be increased u.s. british and other western nations deploying a great deal more than the normal commitment to the gulf area not big enough in normal times i think we all understand what the imperial structure of the of the middle east is and that is that the western powers britain a better america with the support britain and other western european powers believe that it has an absolute right to control this area of the globe and it employees the israeli state has its watchdog we reached henri's that the israelis and the us have now come to an agreement about a timescale within which they must deal with iran so i don't say that's going to happen the day after the us elections but i do think that things will move on and we'll be clear exactly what the program of deploying further pressure on the

iranian regime is in a week or so as time. the people off. this week from organizing public gatherings but it did not stop hundreds of progress for most some keeping their message alive as a result of that peaceful rally faced riot police tear gas and batons held position politicians thinks the government's only making things worse by stopping people having more of a say in their own country. illegally and people do know that there are just bought this. spike be a huge part of the government being bought out there just. having. it's. just a few willing laws and. this is not going to end this is. this is gonna make these laws suddenly from the very to note not to or to go on to.
7:33 am
go down we need more from the international community and this is within. the bush years and other going into this if you are disillusioned they are and if you. want this is the question and. so when you. get the world wide silence continues political analyst and charlie or explains why he thinks the international community is turning a blind eye and ultimately what i hope to gain at the end of the day but we're in good because the unfinished segment of the arab spring which is now what we know now would be even stronger saw. there's been a conservative in the region as well as the prove a student and and western troops tried to completely demolish the voice of the people whom you believe. in the us as human rights abuses human right so here you
7:34 am
have a two year mismatch between america's our ideals of disposing universal human rights and the. the reality on the ground here human rights are selectively being enforced and are we used to block the regimes for political or not why is for example syria such a hot spot and why are you not just because what removes the fifth fleet of the us navy does not entitle it to be so brutal and repressive and good to see with crimes against humanity which are happening. but a government warning is unlikely to deter crowds from forming in kuwait as we go into the r.t. while the protesters there are preparing for a mass rally against new voting rules despite a warning from the earth or at least that unsanctioned demonstrations will not be tolerated as the opposition gives because we believe the changes will give an unfair advantage to some pro-government candidates in next month's election the public gatherings of more than twenty people were banned after a string of violent clashes involving thousands marching against the kuwaitis.

the middle east largest christian minority the egyptian coptic church has chosen its new pope during a solemn ceremony blindfolded boy the name of dross to replace the former patriarch who died in march there are ten million copies in egypt the rise in attacks against them which they blame on islam. now spain and italy as prime ministers this week deny that they are on the verge of asking for a bailout in madrid on monday the two leaders also criticized germany's plan for an body to police national budgets and punish those with large deficits italy and spain are in a severe recession with record unemployment and have seen massive protests over spending cuts the spanish leader did admit though that his country may need a bailout sometime in the future euro economist or your hundred over the felt believes that cash would come at the cost of independence. it's one of two things

you either have to accept the fact that you will lose sovereignty. or you will have major problems in terms of the continuity of this monetary union so if you need money it's in a vital that those who lend you the money starts interfering with your policies so it may sound a little bit brutal or maybe a little bit undemocratic but that's the way things work if you really are in need of that much money for that long period of time it's in a vital that you give up some of your sovereign and as a matter of fact to make this monetary union work in a structural and durable way every state involved in this euro zone in this monetary union in europe will have to accept this principle. e.u.'s main players are set to square up to britain calling on it to decide if it really wants to stay part of the club it's after this week's bruising for prime minister david
7:37 am
cameron his own m.p.'s turned on him and sided with the opposition in a vote of their nearly payments to fund the e.u. the deputy prime minister warned the political rebellion could see britain isolated within the bloc but cameron's conservatives are using it to push for the people to choose whether to quit the e.u. for good. and inflation increase on the budget would equate to an extra three hundred million pounds a year and that would increase over the multi annual budget up to two thousand and twenty and at a time when u.k. families are having to make very difficult often painful decisions with their household budgets local councils doing the same and even our own national government here in the u.k. i think it is absolutely right to expect the european union to try and trim some of its very large budget and i think it's politically smart for the government to actually be in touch with public opinion majority of people in the united kingdom
7:38 am
have never had a say on our relationship with europe we need a referendum this side of the general election in this parliament and let democracy rain and let the british people have their voice heard. and in britain right now trying to buy a home or set up a business is a tough task with the big banks having seized up and keeping the cash to themselves but not everyone is going to let their community grind to a hold. laura smith has been to meet the one man by. the number thank you dave this week is a cheeky northern charmer he made his fortune selling minibuses in his hometown as burnley but instead of fancy holidays and expensive cars when the credit crisis hit dave wanted to give something back so he decided to open a bank it is late two thousand. and a early two thousand and nine my mini. me to get funded for their bosses as they are done for the last fifteen years but overnight that just stopped the banks just
7:39 am
stopped lending to the to the customers and i'm thinking how they've done something wrong have they made a mistake of that up at the gas bill electric bill you know it's not the people that are the problem it's the banks have the problem so i thought well outland of the so that's what it bank on dave he says although thanks to extensive red tape he's not actually allowed to call himself a bank and he's keen to differentiate himself from banks in other ways too he offers five percent on savings and he lends that money out to his local community and no bonuses any profits go to charity. but there just isn't a dave in every town more's the pity so his isn't a model which could be rolled out nationwide in its current form but financial experts say lessons can be learnt for a healthier banking system one point is clear and this is a point that the bank made in a way is that banking has just moved too far away from its roots and its basic
7:40 am
need to understand to saving which has been lost. in madras where highly leveraged changing lives to. date ultimate goal is to bring banking back to its roots no more faceless conglomerates where computers and mavericks make the decisions and the one percent pockets unimaginable bonuses instead local banks for local people run by the community to benefit the community it's not a new idea in fact it's how banking used to be before the megabucks and mega banks stepped in and dave still taking to get some political support you have to take save us money and invest in real productive. activity and to take responsibility for doing it which is not the way that banking currently works in his comic who kind of crazy way he is showing the way to
7:41 am
a better banking system which is responsible local in touch with entrepreneurship which actually could be the basis for going forward there's certainly got to be some way forward as wave after wave of scandal hits the financial sector banking on dave and others like him looks more and more attractive one of the sayings i use a lot is people who rob banks go to person bank to real people get paid bonuses that has to stop laura smith party birmingham. the vote count in ukraine's have been suspended until monday after reports of violations of several polling stations and the opposition claims the poll has been blatantly rigged by the ruling party and the election was also overshadowed by scuffles between supporters of the opposition and police and one region exit polls predict the current president's ruling party will retain its lead but lose its two thirds majority the results are also expected to show
7:42 am
a strong performance by the freedom party known for its hardline nationalist stance it could gain around ten percent of the vote with solid results in the west of the country and in the capital. and after a quick break here on r.t. how the world looks from latin america as nicaragua's president talks to what. the judge is waiting fifteen goats. two counts. kilograms of rights one thousand flatbreads. and. one is the bride

7:45 am
well the president there was as much as i think you missed the president for taking the time recently chavez won the presidential election in venezuela and stayed in office a year ago the people of nicaragua we elected you for another term would this mean that socialism has proved its viability and is now established in latin america well what i mean the neo liberal model has failed in other words capitalism reached the highest stage when it was expected to resolve all the economic and social problems overnight resolve the problems of unemployment and poverty with this model failed and it failed not only in latin america it is also failing in developed economies as a war today we see it failing in the us and europe this is why people in our part
7:46 am
of the world gladly embrace the idea of a radical change in our country's need sovereignty and independence in every area political independence is impossible without social and economic independence today a new reality is gradually emerging in latin american and caribbean nations and they have more freedom today to determine their future president hugo chavez is a recent victory will definitely help latin america and the caribbean to continue on the path of change was this was that of the following that sampling of president fernando hoover and the ring why there was speculation that we are into a new era of how likely do you consider such a scenario today. in america in fact also in latin america have never managed to make coups a thing of the past and i'm afraid this might never happen. i believe there will be an implicit threat of a coup as long as the conservative forces in the united states take interest in
7:47 am
disrupting any development aimed at upsetting the current global hierarchy these forces in the gauger local groups in our countries in covert activities and we've seen it happen across latin america and the caribbean suck and so you think there's a connection between miliband from paraguayan the attempted coup in ecuador and a military coup in honduras yes that is a fact that there's going to take the attempt at overthrowing president chavez in venezuela in april two thousand and two for example next came akuetteh in honduras aimed at hampering the development of a unified latin america then there was an explicit and very forceful attempt at a coup in bolivia aimed against president evo morales then there was an attempted coup against the president or rafael correa in ecuador and most recently the pluck to force the paraguayan president out of power i think this will remain and place it threat but it will gradually lose an ability over time due to the rising drive
7:48 am
for change that we've seen gaining momentum in latin america this movement is based on respect for the will of the people and this is what will make coups increasingly harder to pull off time after time yet we shouldn't rule out such a possibility altogether not as long as we remain at all as well it forces that strive for global domination and believe that the world is supposed to bend the knee to them but they still don't realize that we no longer live in an era of had germany so there will remain a hidden or latent minutes for the time being when. in july two thousand and twelve the national assembly of nicaragua adopted a law to build a canal that would connect the caribbean to the pacific this would not merrily give a boost to the nicaraguan economy but actually promote yukon change to one of the region's reaches economies when is the canal scheduled for completion. indeed and a vision of such a. canal goes back as long as the history of nicaragua for five centuries you know nobody thought over the ever since the spanish conquest of one vote and later on
7:49 am
great britain rival it with spain for control of iraq are thinking there was a natural motorway here it's sort of existed or by way of the sun one river that springs from lake nicaragua but one section was missing that we were a canal across the narrow isthmus of reverse because of that our country ended up in the middle of geo political disputes and became a target for us expansionist policies nicaragua and most of all independence after the us invasion but what's important here is that this project has always been on the books with a good i want to over a century ago the americans themselves looked into building a canal in nicaragua but then they decided to invest in the panama canal. but once we became independent we revisited this with it and now we're working to make it real and our canal would not serve to substitute the panama canal but rather to complement it there's similar logic here is in urban planning the more roads you
7:50 am
have in your city the better the traffic we're looking at providing our region with two major waterway routes instead of all of this would it haunts the regions transit capabilities bring down transit costs and thus benefit global trade in general serving not just our own interests as an economy those of the entire international community will support for nicaragua it would also mean independence giving us access to resources and the kind of revenues that would enable us to become entirely self-sufficient but as of now we're a dependent economy there's nothing wrong with interdependence and complementarity but one way dependency is bad for anyone so when will nicaragua finally get its chance. very soon i hope there is a lot of work being done chinese companies are in charge of the project and we expect it to be accomplished rather quickly is that you know if this year the united states has thurman aided its angle eight commitment the nicaragua how has
7:51 am
that affected your country. what nicaragua is highly vulnerable is an economy that throughout our history our economy has suffered at the hands of the u.s. and its policies the city of grenada for example that was burnt to the ground falling prey to america's expansionist policies all those wars and military invasions the us has sponsored or provoked all there has even been a ruling by the international court of justice binding the united states to compensate michael right over for all our losses but the us has ignored this verdict oh good of course the fact that the us has terminated what they call aid to nicaragua has had negative consequences for our people and our country that i was but in reality that was no aid what the americans call aid was really tiny installments in payment of the enormous debt the u.s. owed to nicaragua it was no aid no cooperation that was merely an allowance they
7:52 am
paid us with passing it for aid and cooperation with their would and it came with tight conditions attached to work so we cannot talk of nicaragua as a sovereign and independent nation as long as we remain critically dependent upon the united states and its current political trends its prevalent frame of mind and the amount of influence radical groups enjoy there at any given moment of time because those are the groups that largely determine us foreign policies they are the ones who contest in court all u.s. cooperation programs for the nicaragua and even call for using force against latin american nations at the desk to hand up for our independence but that is why terminating any form out of cooperation is bound to have and negative impact on nicaragua that is exactly what makes it so important for us to ensure that our nation should no longer be dependent upon this sort of conditional cooperation with
7:53 am
either the united states well the european union the us as a. pursued a policy of racket all of these are very nicaragua and its people this is unfair and undemocratic they're not supporting liberty they're promoting servitude this is what prompts us to get the canal done as soon as possible it would relieve us of our present dependency upon the us and we were and they're hedging monic policies one of them and then the governor of the united states is all set for a presidential election where nicaragua's expectations in this regard. i believe this is an election where the american people should vote for their government to commit itself to a peaceful foreign policy agenda that is what i see as most important and the best thing the united states could do for the world is pursue peace not war a policy of peace would enable the us to be more successful in addressing its domestic as well as global economic challenges providing upward they choose to seek
7:54 am
an alternative to the neo liberal plan a sense of what they were predominant among capitalist economies in recent years and have proved to be such a failure when autumn of that what do you idea of perfect world what already seen it for latin american the united states or russia. in that within them i'm sure we're already heading that way despite efforts from certain forces to prevent this kind of a change i mean the american far right who won't even tolerate a president such as barack obama they denounce him merely because of his african origins and the color of skin yet these forces grow weaker with time the same is happening in europe as the reality itself sends a signal to the nations that used to feel like they ruled the world until recently about telling them the world can no longer go on with and you want to get it checked it was reality that has shaped the world what we know today as a multi-polar world owned regardless of whether hedge monic powers choose to move
7:55 am
along with the rest of the world where the world favors multi-polar ity and we are moving in that direction we hope those in power in the world's most advanced economies will finally realize that the path they had been following thinking it to be a path toward peace stability growth and development has eventually brought them to the verge of disaster and they're the ones heading towards a cliff in the past they used to drive us toward self-destruction this time they are themselves. set on a playoff to go house their only option is to change themselves or and to that end they need to evolve and to promote a world order that would be in line with international law un principles and the laws of international trade in a multi-polar world as again so you believe this is reality rather than wishful thinking ill never earlier it is reality that i'm sure of that happening up there we already see it happening mr president thank you for the time but with us thank
7:56 am
