12:01 am
good morning to you on a monday live from moscow with me rory sushi welcome to the week's opening program . the israeli prime minister is on a mission to thwart iran's recent efforts to unfreeze its relations with the west. who claims that iran's sweet talk is just a trick in order to try and buy the country's nuclear program more time he's also vowing to prove it in the white house and at the u.n. general assembly middle east correspondent she takes a look at what to expect from the israeli leader counter offensive. the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu is in the united states where he will be meeting with the american president barack obama and also addressing the united nations general assembly the focus of that address and his meetings will be on iran and here the israeli prime minister's message is quite simple don't trust the rain ians
12:02 am
netanyahu has ordered his government members not to give comments regarding the recent phone call between the radian and american presidents in fact he's ordered them not to talk at all regarding the whole issue of iran and this is presumably to avoid any kind of embarrassment while natanya who is in the united states and also for israel to seemingly present a united front prior to leaving israel for new york netanyahu said that he was going to use this opportunity at the united nations to show the truth about to rant particularly now while all these plays and trees are being said last week when the iranian president rouhani addressed the u.n. security council who criticized that addressed severely saying that was full of hypocrisy and cynicism at the time he ordered the israeli delegation to boycott the station and warned the international community not to be fooled by signs of so-called moderation by the way in government we will not be fooled by half
12:03 am
measures that merely provide a smokescreen for your rants continual pursuit of nuclear weapons. and the world should not be fooled either. understanding a the israeli internal security vision bit announced that it had wasted a belgian citizen with a rainy an our region for allegedly spying against israel now the incident happened already three weeks ago but the information has only now been released while netanyahu is in the united states and of course questions are being asked about its timing many are suggesting that it is to store up ammunition for netanyahu is position a position that he's going to be putting across in the united states it also kinds at a time when the first time in decades we see a warming in the relationship between the united states and iran now when hardly in his address last week also called for a nuclear free middle east it's highly unlikely that the israelis will ever agree to this israel has never admitted having nuclear weapons but at the same time it
12:04 am
has never denied that it does policy r.t. tel aviv and in the meantime a notable israeli journalist out of gideon levy who told r.t. it will not be an easy task for netanyahu to persuade the u.s. leader that iran cannot be trusted no matter what. practically they get peace already a long time ago because president obama and prime ministers. see hardly i who i in the main topics a palestinian question be the day rally in question in ateneo sizes any seeing which is less than bomb being iran is not the right solution he would come up with a lot of intelligence material trying to prove that there is no change on the ground in iran he would try to spoil the party as is say but in any case i think that we have no two. diplomacy a chance and give rouhani
12:05 am
a chance. the reason basic fundamental change in iran and he soon can only benefit out of feet. you can go to our website all to you dot com for a little trip back in time you can check out what netanyahu said to the un general assembly that was just a year ago or so how is illustrative address stokes tensions all across iran. are we coming to you live from moscow as are dozens of students have been shot dead by islamist militants in nigeria who stormed a dormitory early on sunday and started killing people some in their sleep at the gunman are believed to be from the terrorist sect boko haram recently stepped up its attacks on civilians and this latest incident showing the scale of terror and gulf in africa come shortly after the deadly shopping mall attack in kenya io johnson the founder of the viewpoint africa website explained why the continent has become a hub for terrorist cells. all these groups are all joined together but i'll
12:06 am
shut babin somalia or the wider m.l.a. in in mali or the. across west africa these jihadist cells are all only blueprints on the organizational the west has already declared terrorism leads to islam is in islam is in leads to fundamentalism and ultimately muslims when you're dealing with an ideology when you're dealing with a mindset and in the case all these groups they believe they can do no wrong because i think they believe they're getting their group from god so to that extent it becomes very difficult to dislodge them all the time you're looking at the generational problem alternately the the use would be the ones who would be that the educated better be mindful of what can go wrong when they join these groups and ultimately when you start addressing the right from course it's creating jobs addressing social issues ultimately we may be able to read these problems from our
12:07 am
societies let's give you a bit of a background here to the terror group that did a massacre of the students in nigeria in the name of ram it can actually be translated as quote western education is a sin and is known for attacking educational institutions it is the islamists third attack on a school in nigeria's northeastern state in just four months among other common targets for book a. christian communities and churches. now according bahrain has sentenced fifty muslims to up to fifteen years in prison for organizing an opposition group it was one of the key backers of the nationwide pro-reform movement but authorities claim it's been involved in terrorism we talked to dr not far from the buck range of rehabilitation and antiviolence organization and she herself spent two months in prison there she believes the whole trial is a well known top level tactic of demonization. actually it's
12:08 am
a quite old propaganda the whole process all the demonization of the pro-democracy corners and to pro-democracy groups is a quite an old fashioned thing that the death or if is the bahamian authorities big be using for a while and it's not working anymore i mean at this moment they failed absolutely failed to provide any evidence that these groups are involved in any to terror attacks or any more of it take movements two years ago exactly at the same date same judge he a convicted doctor has almost fifty doctors for sentencing up to fifteen years it's the same thing the repeating. it's good to have you with us here and still to come for you off to a very short break at the perilous state of the portuguese economy is actually bringing people together for almost small communes forming in rural areas people

12:12 am
a pleasure to have you with us here today i'm sure. live from moscow it's our teeth thanks for joining us this morning europe is now witnessing a surge in support for far right parties a right wing populist who have swept to power in norway a greece's golden dawn is the country's third largest political group and in austria the right wing freedom party has scooped up almost a quarter of the entire vote in sunday's general election peter all of our looks are what's behind this rise of the right. what is most interesting about these elections is that over one quarter of austrians have voted for parties that want to
12:13 am
do away with bailouts for euro zone countries and see in see real changes to the structure of the single currency now to talk a bit more about this and what it means i'm joined by barbara cole who's the director of the austrian economic sense a baba thanks very much for talking to me why have austrians voted in this way and why are they upset with the current two eurozone system while they entrust the politicians in brussels any more they don't trust our austrian the decision makers what they do there they don't believe they find the right solutions i mean after all it's just. a redistribution on a supranational level it's austrian tax euros that go to other countries and are just washed down the drain now austria is one of the four eurozone economies this century underpins bailouts what would this vote over a quarter as they say people voting for parties that want to change things what does this mean for the future of the single currency well i think it does set a couple of politicians thinking and overlook their past solutions that after all
12:14 am
it has only prolonged the problems this is definitely what the people see and it has not come to any solutions as a matter of fact that that's grew bigger and bigger and higher so the next generations will suffer and this is what those twenty five percent obviously have in mind so austrians voting in increasing numbers the parties they want changes to the eurozone and also voting for right wing party something that we have seen spreading across europe as my report shows. the political right is on the right. and it's drawing some surprising support a lot of people from the working class blue collar workers lower educated people are voting for the extreme right of the radical right because of the policies still put forward like immigration and european integration. i guess the political system is such so these are the topics that are now days important for those people voting for the radical right across europe there's
12:15 am
a time that's turning right ukip is being talked about as the legitimate third party in britain while alternative for germany just missed out on a place in the bundestag norway's conservative government came to power with tough immigration promises and in sweden and finland there's also been gains here in australia euro skeptic right wing parties gaining support from people who feel that the main issues important to them ons being addressed it they might care less and we should all feel the need to slow down immigration i have nothing against foreign us but enough is enough. yeah e.u. is saying where the money should go to like an all kind poor country is on its of their own country and the e.u. is too wouldn't be like. dictate everything. else it used to be their own parties interest spruced and the e.u.
12:16 am
second us now it's only a few do them a lot and. the freedom party of austria had made significant gains its critics call it xenophobia its leader thanks to differ being true i don't hate foreigners. even so the party adopted a different campaign tactic than it had done in previous elections their issue hidden message about religious values and a sense of talking about love your neighbors which is a very catholic way of talking about issues but of course the hidden message behind was that this is against islam or against muslims also flying the anti you roofline is a stroke canadian billionaire frank stronger who come dems the single currency is the road to rack and ruin. we need to stop creating every high. she spends more money than. most of europe's recent elections of the nail
