are you watching r.t. live from moscow welcome to the program protests have raged across europe over government austerity measures with populations angered that they're having to pay for others' mistakes meanwhile americans facing similar struggles have shown very little passion compared to the fury displayed overseas takes a look at why europeans are doing better trying to protect their pockets. it's october two thousand and ten and while things aren't looking too good americans and europeans have reacted to the tough times very differently about this story unfortunately you can't tell from this but only with mass struggle can there be a positive development for the benefit of foreigners or for us to try to make sure country maintains their liberty in the freedom that you had in the past. countries across the globe are facing one of the worst economic disasters in recent history fourteen million americans are unemployed one in five people in the united kingdom is living in poverty and more than twenty percent of spain's population can't find

work more unequal your society gets the more unequal it usually continues to get because when inequality reaches anything like the levels we see in america now the sheer amount of wealth and income in the hands of the very wealthy mean they can begin to buy political parties they can buy whole segments of the house and senate so now world leaders have to decide what to cut and what to keep we've identified substantial savings and in the days and weeks ahead we will continue going through the budget line by line and will identify more than one hundred programs that will be cut or eliminated but it looks like our friends in europe might be one step ahead of us tens of thousands of europeans stormed brussels the location of the headquarters of the european union in response to news participating governments would be fined if they ran up deficits. especially for countries with debts even more pressure on budget cuts and this means cuts in social area and the public infrastructure and the crisis will end up being paid for by the workers the news

that more jobs will be cut pensions frozen and wages lowered fired up the masses there are austerity measures going on in europe and the europeans are pushing back really hard the consequence of those is going to be to reduce the european lifestyle but they're they're coming no nowhere close to the absolute destruction of middle class that we're seeing it stick. so why haven't americans taken to the streets over this country's unsettling economic statistics yes we have the tea partiers and the new wave of progressives who have been rallying in response to the tea partiers but many say these american seem more concerned with getting their theoretical freedoms back rather than specific benefits like wages and retirement funds like what's happening over in europe so i think americans and europeans are in the street what's kind of very odd is americans are in the street asking for less government help because they've given up on the government and the europeans are in the street asking for more government help because they still believe their situation could be made better by social spending. so what's the solution while

many say the united states should look at our good friend the united kingdom that's proposed to cut its military spending by one fifth while some americans believe now is not a good time to decrease funding for social programs some say the u.s. is an enormous military budget of five hundred thirty three billion dollars it is the only logical place to make a cut but others say even though it might be a good idea it's not going to happen any time soon the problem is that because our politics are corporate owned in the united states going to the defense budget which is mostly outsourced to defense contractors and saying we're going to cut into that is not going to happen preassure either r. t. washington d.c. . american economist richard wolfe says it's the historical decline of left wing elements in the us that means those struggling and are left without a voice. it's the decision of the europeans to overcome all of their differences

their different cultures and languages in a common struggle against these austerity programs i think in europe for the last thirty years you've had a pretty vibrant trade union movement compared to what we have in this country you have active socialist communist and other radical organizations that analyze what's going on in an ongoing way with daily newspapers and daily or media outlets you have an educated population that can see these issues i think american see the issues but have no organized the basis after the long term decline of our labor movement and our left organizations so it's taking longer in the united states to mobilize because we have to organize from scratch these kinds of groupings and unities the europeans could rely on their tradition and put them into play much more quickly the europeans are ahead of us they have

a clear vision and they have the organizations that clearly can mobilize millions of people in strikes general strikes and manifestations that force the change to put the cost of this crisis on the capitalist enterprises who are most responsible for producing it all social unrest in europe so it's decision time for some countries of the eurozone that's according to john redwood the british m.p. and euro skeptic he gave an interview to our team of the full version coming your way in just over twenty minutes but has a pretty. i think it's up to the current member states of the euro to come to political conclusions democratic conclusions about how much pain individual countries are prepared to put up with to stay in it and whether they can reach a better global settlement within the euro zone which perhaps releases a bit of the tension and pressure on spain and portugal and greece and ireland without completely upset in germany.

moscow is the biggest city in continental europe hence faces huge daily challenges over five and a half million tons of waste is produced annually in the capital and only a small portion of it is recycled as are teasing or preschool for ports it's a problem that's not so easy to bury. when alexander and his family moved to their flat ten years ago that you from the thirteenth floor was so impressive the whole city before them but soon this hump turned into a hill blocking the view of a whole district it became so big they thought it was a new ski resort but instead it turned out to be a mountain of waste but afterward i was shocked i have children someday they'll have cancer as well i will they be able to live here if these mine terms continue growing if nothing is done soon one hundred sixty would be surrounded by them this is how it works first a giant pit is dug in the ground the waste is distributed in isolated layers

eventually creating on the surface dock sick water is drained away from hugo and gases are taken away by specially designed wipes authorities insist the technology is eco friendly but let's face it it leaves a stinky present for future generations. i was actually walking on top of around thirteen million tons of trash interestingly at the moment the so-called seasonal smell here is off watermelons which people for all weigh them off this time of year trucks come and go every minute while monster bulldozers flatten the waste into layers and at the end all of this is going to walk like an ordinary hill just like that green area over there. moscow annually produces at least five and a half million tons of waste waste which has to be collected and either destroyed recycled or disposed off the state company responsible for that owns two huge pits

wheezed burning factories and sorting stations but still it's only able to recycle fifteen percent of the waste it collects most of the trash which could be recycled is ruined during the transportation to sorting stations garbage trucks press waste to collect more so everything is really mixed together that's why we recycle so little in the end. to prevent waste being mixed up in meat and recycle last year the city distributed separate bins enabling muscovites to sort their garbage as they threw it away but the economic crisis hit and there wasn't enough money to send separate trucks dedicated to picking up just plastic or paper which were all mixed up anyway so the experiment was trashed this is money which is being thrown away most of the waste which could be reused is lost the whole system needs to be changed or the consequences could be devastating so on to the russian capital get its recycling act together millions of tons of waste will continue to be hidden

from sight to be for future generations to deal with tomorrow you've got to. moscow . still to come this hour and a skate from the vices of life often visits a remote schooling crane's crowd helping hundreds of young people fight drug addiction taking them back to nature. a thai court is set to consider a second set of charges against alleged russian arms delivered to boot the court rejected the request to have them dropped to vain extradition to the u.s. where he's wanted on terrorism related charges but has been in a bangkok jail since march two thousand and eight rests this is smuggling weapons to terrorist groups in colombia an appeals court ordered his extradition and all this over ten billion with a second set of charges filed by the u.s. just before the decision was made dition can't publish

a specializing in best to get it right and send it to boot is stuck in a high stakes game and is unlikely to get a fair trial that. i think the thailand tiger government is kind of stuck between a rock and a hard place obviously they're being played it as just pieces and an international game between russia and america. but they don't want to seem as if they were pressured by america even though they have been so i think they're waiting for this whole thing to play out all the way through the courts and on course it was america's own fault for adding heaping extra charges on one sleeve the original charges were deemed by the thai court to be political in nature and there wasn't even a minimal amount of evidence to convict due to anything but america has promised thailand fighter jets and cheap oil if the decision goes their way if he's next day to america and stands trial in america itself i think then. everything will be in public but probably what might happen is that they would like to extradite him but

not have them face trial in america but being in a prison in another country. as they have done with other people so that we don't know the american people don't really know what's going on where investigative journalist student has to be tightened he says it was clear on monday which side the jockey's taking the case. judges were very much against. and you could tell from our from their attitude one one mr would ask for a russian translator they they denied his request they gave him an english translator who didn't speak any english and finally they agreed to postpone the case again there's going to be no witnesses just the reading of the of the decision on the second set of charges of the united states government that said the defense team can theoretically up so that could theoretically actually take it beyond the initial ninety days so again these are on charted waters and no one really you know as i talk to my people the state department in the united states are watching very

very carefully they said that a lot of full cost would be made from the united states to thailand obviously to the prime minister's office and this is another part of the dis delicious irony of the thai prime minister will be americans are saying is actually working for the doctor who is actually working for the americans because he's not only is a british born but he also holds british passport which means he's obviously subservient to the british american interest that now some other news making headlines around the world chile's president is the thirty three miners trapped underground for two months could be rescued in the snow. experts from around the world have been helping to dig a skate through. the freedom mission the big thing this christmas members of the mining linnean protested in regional capital demanding to be paid those men work at the site since the collapse because of. the back and has criticised the recording of the nobel prize for let's just ask you

humanity departed from nature and started stagnating integrate youths with basic elements like earth wind water and fire we want them to live just like our ancestors lived respecting the good of nature completely self-sufficient. at first glance the school looks like a buddhist monastery watching the physical exercises which students do they look more like martial arts. and one corner of the school's grounds leaves almost no doubt about its assonance this is the spiritual heart of the school a piece of meteorite sits on a board and this is where students recharge their energy as well as marking the birth of each day with a ring of a bell. but the martian says that his school has no religious element whatsoever. she's in a fight against. all faiths can offer good solutions the school provides diverse

means of self reconstruction regardless of a person's religious conviction if you. practice in spiritual exercises we develop both body and soul we want to students to understand that their fate is in their own hands so we also educate them we have an extensive library and we do translations of historic books. from just several followers in the mid ninety's the dragon tiger school has now more than two hundred students it is not financed by the state but its director says there are enough benefactors to aid their cause the cause which he describes as a natural violent healing of society. reporting from ukraine's crimea. features blogs and forums. with the quest to find the best good for the

a joint venture between the russian and german companies or cities trucks boss stock can assemble four thousand five hundred vehicles a year and other models will be introduced as soon as the market expands. and in other news in the sector the company best known for larger has lifted sales by more than a third so far this year after vos has already said it should do turn to profit in two thousand and ten russian carmakers sold about three hundred seventy thousand cars in a period of thirty six percent more than in the same time last year companies benefiting from the successful cash for clunkers program in russia and subsidized loans from the government. and let's now take a look at how the markets are performing asian stocks are trading in the red this hour the nikkei is flat to negative while the hang seng is losing around a third of a percent hong kong shares fluctuated between gains and losses earlier after ending at a ten month high can this session energy producers on the rise with petro china and

conoco among the gainers. right here in moscow the markets finished in monday's session in the black energy shares made strong gains across the aft is up one percent gas from a slightly behind with point nine percent of gains going to make euros more than one percent after the positive after posting a five times increase in pursed itself. but the third largest steelmaker lower lip its expectations for second quarter results look to profits from january to choose to five hundred nineteen million dollars to a loss in the same period of two thousand and nine stronger steel prices boosted the company's performance but it's a warning that third quarter profits will be weaker. inflation in russia is speeding up it reached is. point eight percent in september fueling concerns that angle inflation will be higher than the official forecast of tema growth was driven mainly by food prices in particular this relates to buckwheat and eggs the price of

eggs jumped around thirty percent in more than fifty russian regions. and turning to currencies now the ruble is slightly high against the dollar but it dipped against the euro the strong all prices supporting the ruble but but has not written it much higher however poor mackell of h.s.b.c. expects the russian currency to remain stable in the near term the market was a little bit spooked by some of the trade in the balance of payments data which came out of russia and helped push the ruble a little bit lower but that said we think it's going to trade relatively stable versus the basket at least for the next the next few months will really come to realize over the last few months is that you know the euro was excessively sold by the market particularly back in may and i think we've come to realize that that was a bit too excessive and that's been unwinding and why the year was partly holding up is because by default as it's not by merit like you say there's a lot of bad things going on in the eurozone and i think really have to say to yourself that the fed is on the cusp of doing more quantitative easing but the

e.c.b. is not going to and that's again because the reason why the euro is holding up reasonably well at present. the pharmaceutical industry is watching the world's biggest hostile takeover in six years leading french drug maker sanofi has launched an eighty billion dollars bid for them corp the move comes a month after the u.s. biotech company rejected an initial offer from sanofi snuffy wants an acquisition to help replace revenue loss as some of its best selling products face competition from the generic drugs. russia's second largest mobile phone operator vento com is to merge its assets with an egyptian company it will acquire one hundred percent of italian mobile company went along with just over fifty percent of egypt orus com the owner of morris kong. will in turn get a twenty percent stake if it will come along with one point eight billion dollars in cash. the world's largest element of producer is refinancing its

biggest loan the indebted metals giant borrowed four point four half billion dollars to help pay for a twenty five percent stake in north state owns bear bank who financed a loan that originated with russia's state development bank. despite the repayment slightly increased its total borrowings. and russia's top world diamond producer could launch an i.p.o. as soon as next year investment bank j.p. morgan values the company at up to nine billion dollars business r.t. asked analysts for their view on losses prospects. the issue with this company is that it has a very large mine and it's running out of reserves at this mine and they would have to do an exploration of the cap ex for these exploration to figure i heard it ranges between two to six billion dollars it's overall cap ex for the cap ex for part for the particular on the ground mind. i guess the sooner the. better

demand is likely to grow because this is. kind of. if you look at. these here will reduce saw. the biggest market for luxury cars for example. united states shortly is the biggest market for. the united states fifty percent of the global market but i think. there would be. that's all for this hour but i'll be back with more in about fifteen minutes from now. it will be.
