to the west, iran remains committed to threatening u.s. interests in the region through its support to terrorist and militant groups including in iraq and afghanistan while it remains committed to strengthening its naval, nuclear and missile capabilities. iran can close the straits of hormuz at least temporarily. and they may launch missiles against united states forces and their allies in the region if it is attacked. iran could also attempt to employ terrorist circuits worldwide however the agency assesses iran is unlikely to initiate or intentionally provoke a conflict. iranian ballistic missiles and development could range across the region in central europe. iran's new lacks -- space

the main topic -- iran's nuclear program. the west accuses iran of trying to develop nuclear weapons. barak has threatened strikes on iran if it does not a seed to -- >> all options should remain on at the table. all auctions. >> the busier called for a peaceful solution -- vizier called for peaceful solution. >> i am convinced a military solution would bring incalculable consequences for israel and the region. >> he added that israel could count on german support, but berlin is focusing on tougher sanctions for iran. >> the german defense minister said the that israel could count on german support. he was not just talking about political backing. peter, there was a deal sealed for the delivery of new military hardware? >> that is right. there was going to be this signing of a contract for the sale for the six german submarines. it is a dolphin class submarine. is a little controversial. israel will argue, rightly so, that it will boost defense of capacities, there are some who would say this submarine can be used to launch missiles i

europe well the reason that all of this is come about is due to the the ongoing standoff between iran and the west over the reining in nuclear program now both the united states and the e.u. have imposed sanctions on iran trying to get them to abandon their nuclear program and what we've actually seen is a group of of european countries as well as japan have slashed their imports of a rainy and oil however the major importers of iranian oil haven't done well haven't done that. satisfactory levels especially for the united states we're looking here at china india and it's south korea now. the united states and delicate part of the president has warned this should these countries not cut their imports of iranian oil by satisfactory levels then both countries could face sanctions of their own or partner threatening to cut off the countries like i say china and india from the u.s. financial system now that could have potentially huge repercussions when it comes to business dealings and trade between those countries in could result in some quite serious financial disaster. reporting right there of a ne

iran. i will give you an example at some point the west made a proposition to iran suggesting that instead of producing our own three point five percent enriched uranium we could acquire twenty percent enriched uranium from them . and that was seen as a very promising confidence building measure with help from turkey and brazil we developed a direct solution in tehran and issued a declaration signaling our agreement. we considered such an exchange perfectly feasible and quite rational. however some ten days later we saw yet another anti uranium resolution adopted by the un security council did you also there's therefore the past conduct of the west makes us doubt whether they indeed merely seek to address their own security concerns or whether they are still pursuing the same political agenda they have maintained toward iran put it past thirty years since these lawmaker evolution. if it is a matter of trust of which talking maybe maybe they can see allowing the inspections are the e.a.a. to to to visit the part of the choke on that something something that you haven't. even. did i all wint

is it possible for a major breakthrough between iran and the west? david albright, a former weapons inspector -- entitled starving iran will not free it, and also, jamie reuben. great to have you with us. what he said about president obama. >> i think he was allowing some room. a clear indication for iran that negotiations is their preference. they constantly say we won't negotiate under threats. when you start stepping back from the threat of war, that's an opening and i think the he wanted to signal that. that they are open as long as these threats are stepped back from. >> do you think there will be talks and breakthroughs especially with this whole issue of preconditions? it makes a lot of sense that iran would say get out of my business if i want to have nuclear power. a lot of countries have nuclear power. why should that be a precondition? >> i think there's a lot of smoke being thrown in people's eyes. let's start with prime minister netanyahu. the israels want the world to be talking about the possibility of a nuclear strike. they believe and

iran's neighbor russia wanted to use international mechanisms to put in now those efforts that. fortunately i can see about a year ago russia became skeptical about the information it receives from the west . recently russia has been sending delegations to iran and iran's russia and in this respect the situation has improved. and many russian officials now say that there is no reason to believe that overran a single developing nuclear weapons. western pressure and sanctions are a large leap politicized us their purpose is to influence to the people of iran. we owe. the russian foreign minister a visit to the states last week here. his talks with the. trade states this clinton she asked the lover off two to two to tell that to translate to the iranian side that talks maybe a last chance to avoid a military attack how scary is that. people. of course we have often received similar threats over the past thirty years. on two occasions so i think they even had a specific detail for attacking iran. should what we know and americans know that throughout the five thousand years of iran's he's throwing people of iran have always defended their country they're really two separate fires their allie

turkey or russia to compromise between iran and the west and always many iran tried to. please the us. try to make up a new. questionable. sources. in order to try. to make us believe iran develop nuclear weapons i spoke to iran's nuclear envoy just last week he told me he was pretty convinced other manipulation principally by the us. doesn't the u.n. watchdog of agility to prove its impartiality therefore to get things moving you think it should do more to put its cards on the table be clear. well iran certainly has good reasons to be skeptical with. activities of the. international atomic energy agency. at the moment because as we know. and the current director general mr amano. has strong ties to the american secret service documents revealed. showed that he was actually meeting an american ambassador and promising to do. in favor of the united states. records that have been the report last record from november of two thousand have been. urging serious claiming. words. of program. all these. claims are come from very questionable sources and not from. its white bed th

i'm silly syria from iran as a full definitely it will be easier for the west and iran because it meansthey managed to see cool front. newport allies thousands of syrian missiles syrian warplanes which actually could participate in any war against iran but in order to do that you have to invade syria to invade syria is very very complicated adventure could be very costly i have a feeling that the worst is not intervening in syria because we determine what they are going to do with use of nuclear programs are they going to bomb iran if the decided to bomb iran i think they will bomb iran and seated together and hezbollah i think they will launch a back east war and i believe personally if the war will take place the question is when. it gets the full interview with adel bari out run editor in chief of a london based arabic newspaper coming your way in the next hour here archy. rosco says the u.s. led coalition forces should not be pulling out of afghanistan just yet the mission there has not been fully accomplished russia's envoy to the un stressed the problem of drug production is rampa

releasing their strategic oil reserves onto the market and also escalating tension between the west and iran iran's banking system has been disconnected from swift. now secular what's going on the stock markets in the u.s. they're barely moving anywhere as you can see just a notch both the dow jones and the nasdaq and as i mentioned apple shares are slightly down they were down in the previous session also but we've seen a remarkable upswing to almost six hundred dollars per share. and in the europe it was all looking much more positive there are industrial output stats came out in the united states the reaction was positive for the c's up point four percent the dax point two percent industrial it was up point three percent. and finally currencies a barely any change there the euro slightly stronger than the dollar. the statistics came out on consumer prices they were propelled in the united states by gas prices and this is reflected also in the ruble exchange with the ruble weakening versus the year around twenty copecks and strengthening versus the dollar . right that's it for latest a bus

you cannot isolate syria from iran if that's the full definitely it would be easier for the west and iran because it means the man is to seek the throne. for the lies and for thousands of seed in the seed of war please which actually have to speak and the war against iraq and all that do that you have to invade syria to invade syria is very very complicated adventure could be very closely i have a feeling that the worst does not intervening in syria because they determine what they are going to do with these of the their programs are they going to bomb if he decided to bomb. i think we will and seated together i'm hizbullah i think we will launch a war and i believe that sending. the war will take place the question is when. you can see the full interview with joe barry at one editor in chief of a london based arabic newspaper in about twenty minutes. moscow says the u.s. led coalition forces should not be pulling out of afghanistan yet as the mission there hasn't been completed there are issues envoy to the u.n. a stressed the problem of drug production is rather with trafficking cas

back up one point six dollars a barrel for bread so well on the increasing tensions between the west and iran iran's banking system will be excluded from the swift system under president act which will basically isolate the whole banking system of the country including its central bank. and now let's take what's going on in the united states and after one hour of trading barely any movement any direction there was a gap at the beginning of trade the dow was up by just a notch nasdaq is pulled down by apple shares they're down one percent the first day of sales of the new tablet the i pad actually call it three this just the new i pad as a marketing. kind of move from the company and we still have to remember that since the beginning of the year the stock is up forty who are sick. and now let's move over to europe they're looking quite positive although some of the steam has been lost since last out when the industrial output in the united states came in at a growth of four point three percent right i was still seeing a mildly positive picture another two hours remaining on the globe for tradi

market before the world prices fell right now we're seeing growth on escalating tension between the west and iran which has been isolated from the world banking system has been disconnected from swift. move on to stock markets in the united states are looking very moderately positive just by a notch apple shares are down this is our first day of trading of the new tablet apparently sell of the new syndrome for the stock because it's up more than forty percent since the beginning of the year remarkable it's moving on to europe and it's also quite moderate over there for the seafaring better driven by mining shares also on the positive. mood on the increased factory factory production in industrial production indices in the united states point three percent. and finally a second look at what's happening in the currency markets and the euro is regaining position against against the dollar and that's reflected in the ruble exchanges it's the gaining versus the dollar the weakening around one thousand copecks versus a european. so we've got for you this hour we will be back next hour with nothing to s

time for a breakthrough between the west and iran? today was all about trust between iran and the united states and possible talks until just moments ago when israel's prime minister gave an interview throwing cold water on the situation and laying out a timeframe for a strike. in an interview with channel 2, benjamin netanyahu said this. >> translator: i am not standing with a stopwatch in hand. it is not a matter of days and weeks. but also not a matter of years. everybody understands this. >> this is his first interview since visiting with president obama and confirmed what we reported on this show, which is that president obama delayed israel's plans to strike iran this spring but hadn't stopped them. netanyahu's words of course leaves the extremely sensitive u.s. election time frame wide open for a strike, but on a day when the u.s. and europeans have agreed to go back to the negotiating table with iran, the israeli news is a splash of cold water, proving izrail is not backing down and trying to force a quote/unquote window. talk

will be opening its reserves of oil into the market and also an escalating tension between the west and iran iran's banking system has been disconnected from swift and now let's take a look in the united states barely any movement as you can see there on the nasdaq apple shares are also flat on the first day of the sales of the new i pad tablet. and moving on to europe but it's looking more positive over there was the point four percent of the close the dax point two percent on a slightly growing industrial output in the united states and the little news coming out from europe. and in turn the euro is gaining a versus the dollar this hour and that's reflected in russia's ruble. weakening versus the year as you can see there by twenty copecks a bit stronger versus the dollar. and that's your business update this hour be back into it was time with yet another update the headlines and i start. well for the future science technology innovation all the best of elements from around russia we've got the future coverage.

been pretty much played down so coming back out now on increasing escalating tension between the west and iran just a reminder to our viewers as of saturday iran's banking systems will be excluded from this with system basically excluded from the global banking system including iran's central bank and therefore we see oil prices. move on to stock markets in europe looking quite positive and that's ahead of the release of factory data coming out in the united states so percent there in london and frankfurt and in russia a bit of an opposite situation the markets are correcting after well a lot of gain seems. krauts though to all of us this week except for pretty much today for the oscars my specs down around half a percent now they're mainly driven down by the oil stocks actually this white high oil prices new coil is losing one hundred percent but as we are a group fertilizer producer is gaining the most of this salad and also. is dated because. and if we look at currencies barely any mood changes in the euro dollar rights whereas the ruble is continued to strengthen but by just . all right mo

release the reserves right now we're so worried investors' minds is escalating tensions between the west and iran which will be excluded from. the swift system that means its banks will no longer be able to help hold transactions with other international banks including iran central bank. move on to stalk sand in europe it's looking for the right of industrial output in the us came in as a modest growth of point three percent was seeing around the house of the same group in london adam frankfurt. and also when it comes to currencies barely any movement the euro and the dollar going up and down by not so much really today whereas the ruble has changed its positions versus the euro zone for around twelve copecks and strengthening slightly versus the dollar. exclusive now glencore the world's largest commodities trader has a presence in russia which we mentioned earlier in the program now its chairman has told business he's looking to expand the glen cause presence in russia although competition at times can be stiff to attract investment. but we look at all countries what the deal is and whether we

iran. to have the feeling that. you isolate that syria from. the full definitely it will be easier for the west and they'll be in iran because it means they managed to secure the front because the israelis could be neutralized of thousands of the sea the. syrian warplanes which actually have to speak in any war against them and all the through that you have to invade syria and syria is very very complicated adventure could be very costly i have a feeling that the west is not intervening in syria because they are weak to determine what they are going to do with their programs are they going to bomb iran if the. i think they will bomb and seated together and hezbollah i think we will. have peace and war and i believe. the war will take place the question is when the. full interview with abdel bari atwan coming your way in about an hour here on our team. peru has canceled a scheduled visit by a british warship in what it called a spirit of solidarity with argentina where oh sorry says a long running dispute with london over the falkland islands in the atlantic as both countries claim yorka péladea

people of my countries who despite all the tensions and hostility of recent months between the iran and the westr iran's nuclear program respect all cultures and civilizations. yep, wow. they just added that in there. they just added a shout-out to the nuclear program, even though he never mentioned that or anything like that in his speech, and even though the speech is on tape, and even though there are people in the world who speak both languages. the fars news agency has taken down the false story, reportedly because bloggers raised an up roar over the way that iran tried to rewrite this guy's speech for him. and honestly, that makes me not just happy for him, but happy for the facts. let's try this again. there we go. but as long as we are doing the whole axis of evil. we also have to talk iraq. we reported last night on the formal dinner that president obama and the first lady held at the white house for veterans of the iraq war. one of the people who was at the dinner last night was retired army sergeant alice peacock. she helped organize the st. louis parade. the parade in st. louis, miss

just continues to rise on the back of the supply concerns linked to growing tensions between the west and iranas mentioning about two minutes ago. let's take a look at brent crude. this contract has been trading at its highest level in about a year, trading at just over $125 a barrel. as you can see, it's up about $1.15 at the moment. $125.36 to be precise. the price has risen more than 23% in the last three months. the ripple effect of those kind of rising prices could be pretty serious. analysts say that it could close a real threat, especially to the united states. earlier i got the chance to speak to steve forbes, editor in chief of "forbes" magazine and asked him what he thought of the chances of that. >> they are the chief villain on that is not just the uncertainty in the middle east but even a bigger one is the federal reserve printing too much money? over time there's a very close correlation between what happens to the dollar and what happens to the price of oil. when the dollar gets weak, the price of oil, which as you know when other commodities are denominated in dollars, they go
