European Union's ban on Iranian channels-Comment-10-19-2012
by PressTVGlobalNews
European satellite provider Eutelsat SA says it has stopped the broadcast of several Iranian satellite channels following an order by the European Commission.
The company ordered media services company, Arqiva, to take the Iranian satellite channels off one of its Hot Bird frequencies on Monday.
In a separate statement emailed to Press TV, Arqiva said that the decision was made by the EU Council.
"We terminated the contracts because it was the order of the European Commission. We have to follow it," Karen Badalov, area management of Eutelsat SA told Press TV.
Meanwhile, Head of Public Relations of Arqiva, Gary Follows, told Press TV that as a result of reinforced EU Council sanctions and repeated requests by France's broadcasting authority for the permanent switch-off of Sahar 1, which is broadcast in the Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting (IRIB) multiplex, the IRIB broadcasts through Eutelsat Hot Bird have been terminated.
The Iranian channels being taken off the air include Press TV, al-Alam, Jam-e-Jam 1 and 2, Sahar 1 and 2, Islamic Republic of Iran News Network, Quran TV, and the Arabic-language al-Kawthar.
The decision follows months of jamming of Iranian channels by European satellite companies.
Observers believe that the European Union does not respect freedom of speech, and spares no efforts to silence the voice of alternative media outlets.
Iran's Arabic-language news channel, al-Alam, has been jammed on a daily basis while airing a program on Bahrain.
Technical experts say the jamming was carried out by British technicians.
Iranian news channels affected by the decision only aimed to break the West's monopoly on news broadcast by reflecting the voice of the oppressed people to the world.
The illegal move by Eutelsat SA, therefore, is a step to mute all alternative news outlets representing the voice of the voiceless.

UFO sighting in Afghanistan 17th October 2012
by ProperGanderSaul
There is not much information available on this strange footage. This U.F.O. sighting is reportedly from Afghanistan near Kabul and was taken by Americans. I can only assume they were marines. The quality of the video is quite poor which may suggest the UFO sighting was recorded on an old mobile phone or some other low level video recorder. If this is an alien spacecraft, and if it is the first one to visit earth, how do you think the alien's would have reacted by what they saw? Perhaps they have visited numerous times and were routinely observing a war field. Shots were fired and the UFO swiftly flew away in front of an alleged audience of hundreds of Americans and Afghans. Maybe the UFO aliens have more to do with the war than we know. Feel free to discuss in the comment section below and remember to thumbs up and subscribe. Thanks for watching and thanks to the anonymous source of this video.
India to keep oil import from Iran at current level
by PressTVGlobalNews
India says it will continue oil trade with Iran at the current level despite a new round of EU sanctions against Tehran. Although Asia's third-largest economy has reduced its oil imports in recent months, it's adamant that it will maintain the current level of supplies in order to meet its growing energy needs.
Press TV's Munawar Zaman reports from New Delhi.
India to keep buying Iran oil despite EU embargo
by RussiaToday
Tehran says it's working with New Delhi to find ways to settle payments for Iranian oil. Currently about half of India's payments are made in Euros, but the latest EU sanctions ban all dealings with Iranian banks.
Iran's been under consistent pressure over its nuclear programme, amid fears it might be after an atomic bomb. On top of the EU oil embargo, financial and trade sanctions, 19 Iranian TV and radio stations were taken off air in Europe. But energy-hungry Asian countries refuse to comply with the European restrictions, with India saying it won't reduce the amount of oil it buys from Iran. Political analyst Sreeram Chaulia says the EU can't dictate to the rest of the world.

'EU gags Iran news to silence uncomfortable voice'
by RussiaToday
The European Commission has denied it ordered a ban on Iranian state channels, saying that two providers acted independently. Previously Tehran slammed the EU for completely jamming its 19 TV and radio stations which broadcast across Europe. The ban coincides with a further tightening of sanctions against the country, mostly targeting its financial and trade sectors. Independent filmmaker and media analyst Danny Schechter thinks the EU simply doesn't want to hear a contrary point of view.
