around iran for more on that we speak with brian becker a member the answer at the answer anti-war coalition interview coming up. thank you for joining us on r.t. thank you but does the united states want from tightening the sanctions i mean there it's even beyond tightening the sanctions now indeed it is the united states government has created an artificial crisis that's first and foremost it's a manufactured crisis iran is complying with the i.a.e.a. iran does not have a nuclear weapon iran is not threaten its neighbors iran has not started a war with any of its neighbors israel on the other hand has hundreds of nuclear weapons and unlike iran refuses to sign a nuclear nonproliferation treaty does not allow. inspectors into its country so there's not really a nuclear menace or a nuclear danger from iran and so what is the cause what's the cause of the crisis of the artificial crisis the real goal is the united states government has embarked on a course of extreme economic aggression against iran with the hope that by creating economic suffering economic isolation economic misery that part

translated into deeds all right john rees joining us live from london political activist from stop the war coalition thank you for your time but we're going to continue to discuss the implications of the syrian conflict especially in the region i'm now joined by dr been adaptability a research fellow with the institute of national security studies thank you for being with us what do you think the implications of the u.n. showdown on syria are. well if we're talking about israel in particular it's very early on it's very early to know what the implications are going to be. we can see that in the long term if there were to be a regime change in the assad regime were to fall and where to go that would likely be a good thing for israel it would probably lead to a change to a shift in the balance of power regionally it would be a very strong blow to iran which in turn would empower the more. suited to so-called sunni company would in power at the g.c.c. block this wouldn't be bad for israel this would be a good development however that's not the way that's not the way it's going to play into shorter in t

talked to brian becker a member of the anti war coalition it's a taste of what's coming up few fifteen minutes. u.s. says they're not carrying out regime change but in fact everyone who's watching knows there is the u.s. policy to create pressure on iran carry out overt operate covert operations economic sanctions and now these new sanctions are not really even like the old saying they are same to the rest of the world if you dare do business with iran central bank if you buy iranian oil which constitutes half of iran's g.n.p. if you have any business with iran whatsoever you will not have access to american banks to american corporations to the american market this is in fact a blockade. now look at some other stories making headlines around the world this hour. a radical muslim cleric veges links to al qaeda described it's been lardons right hand that has been released from prison on bail in the u.k. extremist. has been in jail for six years last week the tribunals ruled he should be freed british officials say he poses a threat to the country's security attempts to deport him to jor

serious threat to democracy in libya let's get some insight on this from jim brann of the stop the war coalition joining us from london so the u.s. has congratulated libya on the first anniversary of the uprisings but with these reports that torture and abuse are still in place there do you think this is the right path for democracy you know if you listen to what the chair of the national transitional council that was the body that was particularly backed by night during the summer so boming what he said in. almost as a new message. he said libya faced the prospect of violent suppression of the militias as he said civil war and break up so the present and the prospects i think that has to be center stage if you're looking at the first anniversary the militia are almost in control of every aspect of libyan life do you think this is just a matter of switching from one dictatorship to another. i suppose in many ways it's different but you can hear a lot of a lot of libyans saying well we didn't get rid of gadhafi you know that this voice comes across despite the the hype of the celebration. now the

of your told no i don't think i don't care for people for all right jim brann from the stop the war coalition thanks for your time. type police are searching for two more suspects in a failed terror plot they say targeted israeli diplomats in bangkok three iranians have already been detained over tuesday's explosions in the thai capital tehran which is under international pressure over its controversial nuclear program denies involvement israeli prime minister though as calderon the greatest export or of terror in the world as our reports from tel aviv many israelis may not be convinced . seems like the battle drones are growing louder and louder with israel continuing to this really harsh rhetoric towards iran accusing them essentially of terrorizing the entire world community there was a harsh statement which called to impose paralyzing sanctions on tehran all this while iran made it clear that they are indeed ready to sit down for talks to continue talks on its nuclear program but the prime minister of israel has made a statement saying that elaine aggression should be stopped the course t

between the soviet union and the u.s., even in the dark days of the cold war, then currently between the cdu, ftp, and the ruling coalition despite the government rale, most germans seem happy with the choice of jaochim gauck as their next president. >> they might be happy, but is he and a beginning? our parliamentary correspondent joins us now. peter, in the wake of the corruption allegations surrounding christian wulff, is gauck the man to restore the moral authority the office of the president needs? >> that is what people in germany clearly thing. they have looked as some of the harsh experiences that jaochim gauck went through in east german times, like when his father was arrested and taken off to siberia. he learned the lesson of those kinds of experiences. it gave him the moral backbone that enabled him to be a person tested a to the communist rulers in former east germany. after the fall of the wall, he took charge of the stasi archives, the files but the other by the former east german secret police on fellow citizens. he did a good job. that was an indication that he has a real moral compass. he has real rhetor

war. the saudi-led alliance and iranian-led coalition. this is a very prolonged conflict.though i don't see how assad can survive in the long term, it will take a miracle to rescue his sinking ship. in the short term and the medium term, assad is not as desperate as some of us or most of us would portray him to be. >> romy, fawaz talked about a saudi-iranian cold war where is syria is, in a sense, the battleground. in the region, does it appear to you that way, that on the one hand you have the syrian regime backed by iran, its sole major ally, but then is there a lot of money and arms flowing in from saudi arabia? >> well, there are three things happening simultaneously. you do have the saudi and iranian-led cold war in the region that's been going on for some years and has played itself out in lebanon and palestine and iraq, sometimes in somalia and yemen and now in syria. you have the second thing, which is this arab -- series of uprisings all across the region where sit zens are trying to reclaim their dignity, sovereignty and citizenship and their rights. and the thir

moment here regarding the ongoing crisis in syria and the coals for a coalition of the willing but it sounds eerily reminiscent of the iraq war from years ago some analysts believe that washington and its allies want to use this conflict in syria as a means of targeting iran could you see any truth to that and how. yes of course there is even syria is very close to iran and when united states can not. mistyped a war against iran or make the pressure on iran a let. down of course they are taking advantage from what happened in syria they are supporting the insurgents and but keep own america and the western blot did not understand yet did not recognize yet did not i meant that syria is not. a lot of difference between the two countries demographic and that is an army is he did not have an army that there are tribes libya syria that the syrian society is totally different the army in syria stand united and in case in my opinion in case the army will be divided and i don't think it will be in the near future one datum in syria will be divided that means see if he has gone into a civil war that's a clear america one of the civil

unfortunately for the opposition, the syrian krcrisiss caught in the regional cold war between the saudi left coalition on the one hand and the iranian coalition, and rising tensions with iran don't actually help the crisis in syria because iran is very committed to helping assad because assad is the only ally that iran has in the region. that's why we're talking about a very complicated and complex struggle in syria. >> i'm glad you mentioned complicated. as i hear that centcom and the pentagon are looking over options, i remember the words of dick cheney saying how we would be received getting rid of an evil dictator in iraq. let's listen to his words. >> my belief is we will, in fact, be greeted as liberators. >> professor, so many people believe these desperate voices in syria are calling out for us, but there are other voices who want no part of us, right? >> ashleigh, this is a very, very important point to be reminded of what has happened in the last ten years. remember, as you said, the idea that the united states would have been received as a liberator, showered with rice and flowers, it was o

per the coalition for adolescent girls, investing in girls starts a virtuous cycle that reduces poverty, aids, hunger and perhaps even war. yet of the world's 130 million out-of-school youth, 70% are girls. organizations such as the girl effect and kiva seeking to change history by giving girls in developing countries access to education or loans to start small businesses. studies show that when you improve a girl's life, you improve the health, hygiene, and overall lives of her brothers, sisters, parents, and beyond. now that sounds like a great return on investment to me. i'm manisha thakor. for more information on this nbr special edition "conscious capital" and of course, our daily market coverage, head to our website.. you'll find us at nbr.com. >> tom: that's it for this special edition of "ghtly business report." i'm tom hudson. goodnit, everyone and goodnight to you, too, susie. >> susie: good night tom. i'm susie gharib we hope to see all of you again tomorrow night.
