minor scuffles in brussels around one hundred forty eight people were detained mainly because they were carrying things according to the police that weren't suitable for carrying on a march or had no place for carrying on a march but no injuries were reported that over in spain demonstrators clashed with the police slightly more severely they were throwing projectiles at the police there were marches certainly in madrid and in barcelona and in barcelona students set fire to a police car they also blocked streets with rubbish bins and police fired rubber bullets on them in the end of the day we saw picketers throwing eggs at buses and blocking trucks on a main road in madrid and striking workers also staged a sit in outside a bus station trying to prevent workers from crossing the picket line and going to work. also be processed in ireland those demonstrations were timed to coincide with members of the irish parliament going back to work after their summer recess to a cement mixer which was plastered with banking slogans was driven up and blocked

the entrance to the irish parliament building and a man was arrested for that as i say they're generally a fairly peaceful day considering the number of people gathered also marches in portugal slovenia poland italy and but it has been announced that the unions in greece in athens will be planning demonstrations right into the evening and they're trying to show their respective governments what they call the human face of budget cuts that are being proposed and implemented all over europe basically e.u. governments of overspent particularly the countries that we're now calling the pigs portugal italy greece and spain and now they have to borrow money they have to save money to pay that money back and how they're proposing to do that is by cutting pay they're going to raise the retirement age in some cases in some cases they're even cutting pension payments and they're slashing jobs in the public sector but people are saying it's not awful that the government spent by. and then then that

taxpayers state money had to be used to belize banks out so you know ordinary people shouldn't be the ones who have to suffer these process this is a saying that actually cuts in danger. what looks to be a fragile recovery and some of the economies in europe they're arguing that actually a better way to go would be tax increases on hiring come groups and also investing in public services and jobs rather than cutting them in this way david campbell bannerman a member of the european parliament from the u.k. independence party believes the single european currency is a key factor behind the current economic turmoil but i think the euro is teetering on the edge this is a manifestation of it this is a massive problem and you can throw hundreds of billions trying to do but it's beyond i mean the real underlying problem is you trying to force together all these different types of column is some of the doing very well others are very weak and you cannot force them together under one common currency call the euro the euro's

the problem it's just unsustainable this as a say you know they're throwing hundreds of billions of euros out to it and the germans are paying through the nose and you know the majority of germans now want to leave the euro and that's conceivable that we recreate all the national currency is for certain strong currencies leave all that we currently one or the other still add in the program the land is not for sale that's the message for many indian farmers who are protesting and dying to protect their only source of income all the details coming up on r.t. . but first the ousted mayor of moscow says he won't make any legal challenge to the decision to sack him but will continue to take part in political life this was reports that yuri luzhkov was considering appealing the decision at the russian supreme court artie's corresponding as the latest. speaking for the first time to the media since being sacked you said that

he was not planning to challenge the president's decision to take him down from power as moscow's mayor and in import and previously there were reports in the media quoting a course of friend and state duma deputies who was of cops on who did see that mosque or was planning to file an appeal to the supreme court of russia so now these reports have been denied personally by the ex mary himself says that he will stay in politics although at the moment it's not clear exactly how he's going to do that just previously he officially got out of the united russia party said today a letter to the party officially stepping down from power and also complaining about what he called was a strong media campaign against him since you when you do score he's quite a controversial figure he was the mayor of moscow for eighteen years that is quite a lot of time and that's why his sacking was a mixed reaction among most whites and sweeney people who supported you saying that

it was because of him that moscow received the new modern walk and also his policies towards pension years created quite a lot of support among many more squads however there are also a lot of people accusing the school for feeling to resolve traffic problems in the city or failing to protect some of the buildings and the morals of that wore off historic heritage not only to get to moscow but to the entire nation as well were destroyed as moscow was getting the facelift and also us not forget your. wife you don't know about that enough was thought to be russia's richest businesswoman and many people do say that she was able to become so successful because of the risk of being the mayor of moscow at the moment of course former team is still at power until the new mayor is appointed and the new government is a put together under the old law the united russia party which. holds the majority of the seats in the russian palm and passed to submit at least three candidates for

the post of the head of moscow to the president who will then have to pick one of the candidates he would prefer best and submit this candidacy into the moscow parliament many analysts do see that despite the fact that we still don't know neither the names of these candidates they do say that we're going to find them out in the near future and perhaps moscow could receive a new head as soon as within perhaps that in the next two weeks even former leader of the u.s.s.r. mikhail gorbachev says luzhkov gradually lost credibility over time although he believes he made a strong start in the office. if you will do in the first years of law school's term as mayor and those were the most critical years when industry collapsed and the situation in the cities across russia was terrible he did a lot from our school here exercised firm control over most schools resources and distributed them in the right way he supported people women children and war veterans in those years i myself used to say that moscow was lucky to have such

a mayor as good as you really school time passed and law school started to change he had a billionaire wife by the authorities began to look more attentively at school spry but activities questions arose whether the mayor had room to wall to tackle problems a lot of things have now come to light it turned out that funds allocated for the reconstruction and expansion of my school streets and routes were invested in some enterprises from which someone received a huge profit of sanctions in recent years have been far from good they've discredited his past achievements and there's always poor always more waiting to be discovered are putting all the stories we're covering on air videos more a lot any time here's a quick look of what's on live right now. a little green men do exist and they're trying to save us from nuclear destruction at least that's what a group of former u.s. air force officers is claiming. and battle of the sexes find out about the

months leading up to the summer holiday season europe was gripped by fear that it would be overwhelmed by do that there was much talk of greece rial and really in spain defaulting on their bonds this opened up the bleak scenario of the euro zone collapsing and dragging down the world economy just as it was recovering from recession but a bailout package and of first started to focus their attention on the other big problem the precarious state of the u.s. economy over the summer what happened was that the markets started focus very much on the concerns of the double digit in the u.s. and the fact that actually german growth was coming through very strongly and actually they were quite slow to realize that the sovereign crisis in the euro zone had never actually gone away spreads were actually rising over the summer particularly in august when we had all the concerns coming through about the cost of resolving the financial sector crisis it all and and i think now we're in a situation where the markets realize this isn't one year problem it's
