Questions remain over Iran's nuclear programme after UN atomic officials said Tehran has failed to co-operate with them. The international community suspects that Tehran is building a nuclear bomb, but Iran insists it's only seeking peaceful atomic energy. The US and its allies have been imposing tough economic sanctions, while Israel has even threatened military action against Iran's nuclear sites. But it's being reported that America's intelligence community has doubts about the nuclear allegations. RT talks to the Middle East Consultant, Peter Eyre.

German Chancellor Angela Merkel is urging her lawmakers to support the new rescue package for Greece. This despite worries that Athens will need even more cash in the future, and suggestions from Germany's Interior Minister that it's time Greece left the Eurozone altogether. The 130-billion euro bailout was agreed in principle last week after months of tense discussions among the Eurozone leaders. Germany, as Europe's richest economy, has to contribute the majority towards it. But there is a sense of unease in Berlin that it will have to keep coughing up cash to prevent a Greek debt default. It's the second bailout in a little over 18 months would ensure Athens can pay its debtors for the time being. To discuss the possible outcome of this package,RT's joined by political analyst William Engdahl. RT on Twitter: twitter.com RT on Facebook: www.facebook.com

Jilib is a town that is located just south of Kismayo in Somalia. Today, the Kenyan airforce killed seven Somali children and injured others. Traditionally, Kenya has not fought against Somalia as has been the case between Somalia and Ethiopia. Today, we have the son of a Kenyan father sitting as president of the US and for the first time we see strong Kenyan military action in Somalia. A few months ago, someone conveniently arranged for two white women to be kidnapped and taken across the border from Kenya into Somalia, one British and one French. This was immediately blamed on al Shabaab. However, there has been no proof that al Shabaab had anything to do with those kidnappings and al Shabaab never admitted to the kidnappings. One must also ask what purpose would it serve for al Shabaab to carryout such kidnappings. I can think of none, just as I could think of no reasons for the Libyan government under Muammar Gaddafi or the Syrian government under President Assad to wantonly fire upon their own people. There is no logic behind any of it. Therefore, the question must be asked, what is the agenda of the international banking investor class? In Libya, al Qaeda was shooting protesters and pointing the finger at the Libyan government with the Rothschild media serving as a microphone for those lies. In Syria, the same is occurring. Again, in Kenya, there is no evidence that al Shabaab kidnapped these white women but it did trigger Kenya to begin to do the military bidding <b>...</b>
