they are now in brussels heading into a not the over the euro. currency in germany arguing for changes to the lisbon treaty adopted controversially less than a year ago they won't punish them and for countries that are fiscally irresponsible and a permanent centralised funds to bail these countries out when they do get into trouble if they don't want to pay the price for other countries irresponsible money management ever again as they did earlier this year where. in all. so there you are. for this economic block a trading block. a very powerful block of crisis if the individual members who have picked up the pieces and. they meet. this is euro skeptics say the reason it's not working is because it's fundamentally flawed the economies in the eurozone differ so much it's impossible to have

a common monetary policy and it's the strong who've suffered germany particularly paid the lion's share into a seven hundred fifty billion euro fund to bail out greece earlier this year it was a move that was opposed by more than half of all german chancellor angela merkel now says she couldn't do that again without risking from the constitutional court in germany new countries still want to join the euro zone and they would welcome to rule. as an aspiring european country it wants to join the euro zone we want to join the euro zone with the greek crisis would be impossible we want rules that will not let it happen in theory changes to the lisbon treaty would mean individual countries would be able to hold a referendum on whether to stay in the e.u. but there is increasing your a skepticism relating to the cost of being in the e.u.

and the benefits involved if countries did hold a vote it's not a tall clear what would remain of the union. for amateur reporting there on the sidelines of the summit eleven out of the twenty seven member countries rejected plans to increase the budget by six percent and they said the demand is unacceptable in the current cash strapped environment according to your skeptic p.j.r. the only solution to the financial problems is to get rid of a single currency. their problem is always that there isn't enough european union not that there's too much of it they don't have enough power so they see every crisis as an excuse for demanding more power to solve the problems that they've created in the first place economically it's in a terrible state because of the european single currency greece portugal spain all these countries their economies are going down the chub so the economies of countries like germany and france and the u.k. will be a lot more healthy if they weren't burdened with e.u. regulation and in the case of france and germany with membership of the euro and of

course they have to bear the tremendous burden of failing out countries like greece and of course spain and italy and portugal what we need is to get rid of the european single currency get rid of all the over regulation on business and allow economies to actually revive and become more healthy under proper free market economic conditions the wide things that go on at the moment is they can ever inevitably only get worse. still to come on the program sale season for americana rubbish. we russians are not thank you and robert should know what we say take your junk away with you know. these are just some of the items on sale at bargain prices with the risk of pollution and disease thrown in for free. and then come true there is one there are the streets of some russian towns driven from the woods by a summer heat wave and a search for food. president obama has been forced into some major changes to his administration many of his advisors from his chief of staff to

anomic and military experts are jumping off a sinking political ship artist lauren lyster looks into why there are so many vacancies coming up at the white house. i ask anyone on the street if a bunch of heavy hitters that were say running a company all started resigning and retiring one after another what would you think was going on i think companies are performing and they probably have forgotten they're not happy with their bodies or they're not happy with the working conditions now what if that place of employment was the white house and their boss we will renew old alliances the president of the united states that's a tough question whether people find it more complex or find themselves more politically correct. there's no ignoring that something's up when all the president's men or at least a lot of them start lining up for the door one by one. at this point before

a critical midterm election this is highly unusual to have so many people leaving the white house i've been told what this is emblematic of is a white house and crisis and excuses of exhaustion or jobs at premiere universities don't seem to fully explain recent and imminent departures they read like a laundry list of obama's once nearest and dearest chief of staff even. as i leave the white house i will never leave that spirit of service top political advisor director of the council of economic advisors well larry summers is one of the worst buyers he ever made there and that found that being he was instrumental in financial meltdown budget director national security director defense secretary gates is like a fossil at this point. i mean i think there is only so long they could hold somebody over from the bush administration i think and general commanding forces in afghanistan they're fighting probably and was sworn in afghanistan you know they're

looking for supposedly one of the paris ten years you know for some reason the whole world can't find them with all of these people jumping ship you have to wonder if it's because the administration is sinking into a sea of the country's bottomless problems the white house doesn't have a magic wand that can't fix the economy no matter who's in office but policies that really are inadequate are unable to really even dent the problem are not going to work and that's what we've had here so where does this leave the once popular president who won over much of the world with his pledge of hope and change. high and dry i think that he came to really really tough time. it's going to take probably more than two years to fix it it took more than two years so i know they're going down the drain while the white house in crisis may be the result of a country in crisis remains to be seen what this means for the united states if its

leaders can present a united front lauren lyster r.t. washington d.c. former u.s. state department employee matthew hoh says the d.c. economic advisers who left the white house were out of touch with the public. i think that over the last ten years we've basically took an axe to the fundamental underpinnings of our economy and it's going to take us many years to rebuild those foundations i think that we'll see this economic downturn particularly in the housing market last for four or five more years at least so i think the problem is that the american people think that folks like summers and roemer or out of touch that these are the people who put forth a couple months ago we had a report that said the recession ended in june of two thousand and nine i don't know how many people in america see that every day and so i think that that for a lot of people what this shows this gulf between academics theoreticians senior level government officials and what the american public goes through every day now

all of us draw all of the u.s. troops from iraq is due to and next year but those who have already pulled our leaving behind a dangerous legacy junk to businessman it could be worth millions but us policy or found out it could also be polluted and poisonous. it's the city of mosques and it's fast becoming the city of leftovers junk left behind by the american army now dots the falutin landscape. of things generators car bodies engines all for sale for just a few dollars the highest bidder gets to walk away with second hand goods american soldiers no longer want to take us out on prices are trucked quite reasonable here so the sellers claim they came across to two different ways some they found some was stolen the rest they bought a loss was just given to them. as for me i would buy a wheel rocky's or not o'keefe and rob which we say take your junk away with you.

across iraq camps like this have been evacuated by the american army and handed over to the iraqi security forces property and equipment that has nothing taking to afghanistan has either been returned home to the united states of mind but american officials worry that the tens of millions of dollars of equipment left behind could end up in the wrong hands. so why talk to the americans didn't leave anything behind for four years i'm sure of it all the stuff it's all down river and sort of the you can scan tuesday humvees the regular army get out from the american army had to buy them. anybody can come here to shop but very few do there's no love lost for things american in iraq today. well here in america if you're also scared that these things may be polluted and cause disease or up to save says he wouldn't take a chance buying anything here he's been warned by local media they could be

poisonous substances in the abandoned u.s. military camps were illegal to remain diseases including chest related and cancer and the concern is backed up by the iraqi government but look at who acquitted the course. must have been a great impact on the environment a great number of weapons were used in this way and on a wide scale tests show an increase in pollution would be a good chunk of the american army has nifty rock in what u.s. officials are calling the biggest movement of people and machines since world war two but the soldiers and the equipment that remains i was stalked reminder that the war is not quite over. iraq. and wars in both iraq and afghanistan have changed of the lives of hundreds of thousands of american soldiers but what's more dangerous the role in fighting or dangerous medication given to personnel by their own commanders find out in special report at

nine thirty g.m.t. here on our channel. dear mom i'm sorry that i had to do this i've been in so much pain in the past year that i can't take it anymore my stomach and chest pains have been getting worse and no doctor has been able to help me please know that i'll finally be at peace with no more pain i wish i could have had a life with it was a bit always pictured her being my wife and mother to my kids i love you all see you all in heaven when your time comes i'm going to meet jesus christ. thousands of u.s. troops in iraq received one of these drugs a drug called lariam and it may have prevented many soldiers from getting sick the question tonight is whether or not soldiers were adequately warned about its rare side effects serious life changing side effects. and the media have been buzzing with speculation that may or may be trying to

persuade russia to provide further assistance for operations in afghanistan but are to military contributory vianney herself says before that happens the u.s. has to admit to the trouble it's causing the region and apologize for its actions. in a perfect world it would be nice to believe that nato sincerely wants russia to cooperate in their efforts in afghanistan in reality nato wants to exploit and manipulate rush into providing not only the transit route to afghanistan but mostly a political cover for their disgraceful eventual exit after the nine years plus disaster in afghanistan russia as a successor of the soviet union has never had any imperial the stick designs regarding afghanistan or pakistan for that matter the most important issue for russia right now ease of the afghan narco aggression that threatens not only of

their russian national security by the global security as well and if nato really wants to in the least their russian support they have to come clean and explicitly said meet the whole trouble in afghanistan have been triggered by the us administration they have to assume full responsibility and commitment and to resume the aerial eradication of and counted the fields all across afghanistan. let's now take a look at some other stories from around the world and indonesia's most volatile volcano is erupting again after just hours of call another disaster at tsunami hit several islands a day before the two natural disasters have claimed almost four hundred lives but scores are still missing rescue teams are continuing to search the worst hit areas in the hope of reaching survivors of. the war between drug trafficking cartels in mexico has taken a new twist with six people shot dead in the capital mass shootings in mexico city

how can we feed the whole world in a current economic downturn at a fair price in crosstalk people of his guest discuss what it takes to secure the world from hunger that's next hour but here's a preview. think the thought that we now have an integrated food system is creating more instability in the food. prices as well as in food access it is allowing this massive land grab which in effect is robbing food from the poor and the third is just as though the russian import just showed we have to factor in climate change when rob talks about all let anyone buy from anywhere well india was told to stop producing food by the world bank and we were told we should buy from australia and the us well the us graeme is going for cars and animals and australia has had extended drought you cannot. give up your food sovereignity.

it's one of the biggest myths about russia hungry bears roaming the streets in search of a human feast for dinner but now it seems there could actually be some truth in it a shortage of this year of natural food supplies have forced many wild animals to head into towns peter oliver has more on a bear is this as if he's. the big one of the iconic images of russia recently though the relationship between these animals and the people who live alongside them has been less than cordial the searing heat and fires which swept through russia this summer destroyed much of the bear's winter food supply forcing them to search for alternatives in these russian city of sifted a twenty six year old man had a very lucky escape he was attacked by a bear right in the center of the city the man was bitten in the neck realizes how fortunate he was. i still can't understand how i escaped death somehow managed to

push the animal away so he felt crushing a family. elsewhere in the city there was a carb incident involving a bear while visiting a cemetery two women saw it they believed to be a large man croce. going to grief as they got closer they realized that it was in fact that their mission dungarpur body was feeding on the women scream scared beyond the way it's at least a hundred turns to guard the cemetery cells far there has been no sign of the banks that so we have the situation under control who. it's not just the human residents that have had some close encounters with bears airport c.c.t.v. caught this guard dog having to run for its life after drawing the attention of an inquisitive bear get a bonus for me we were told that the bear came from the direction of the tongue the dog attacked it trying to smother the dog the dog going to when started leaving for bear way from the house a lot of it almost certainly bears have also taken to attacking livestock as

a source of food in the u. kamensky district of central russia had to be employed to protect cattle in some cases humans made problems for themselves with bears it's strongly recommended not to try and feed the animals in order to get a photo opportunity so as incidence of contact between humans and increase around russia at this time of year it's important that we respect these iconic creatures so as not to become the next victim of bear attack peter all of a r.t. well for those who aren't scared of bears we have some more scary sides on the way this time involving the supernatural. if well the retail industry should be happy every year more money is spent on how we goods here in russia and whether you're looking for a creepy costume a spooky wig or a scary skeleton mask you can rent and hire everything you need here at carnevale so what do you think scary enough.

as many of them are located in already developed areas as a result of increasing reserves and the development of new fields and improving efficiency we can anticipate that the current level of all extraction of five hundred million tonnes per year will continue for the next ten years. while maintaining oil extraction is a priority for the government the country is refiners are facing the prospect of having to pay increase taxes and as a temp and cover imports this may make some downstream operations a profitable. that me of spent five and a half billion dollars to build the state of the art oil refinery in central russia the refining official sell this complex is unique for russia mine to seven percent of all the crude that the arrives here is turned into a usable product with only three per cent waste analysts warn however such expensive projects may stop making economic sense if the government increases x.

against an indiscriminate price for refiners the best way to turn courage complex refining to boost second or capacity would probably be to increase its life so that companies that are producing too much heavy fuel oil would penalised the biggest problem for the oil sector is the lack of new oil field projects and the massive on their investment in the construction of the government wants to ensure there is no tailing off from the contra screwed up. even if that is done at the expense of refining their. business. stock markets are mostly lower on friday concerns about the outlook for earnings weighed on investors in tokyo and seoul plans make use of one point seven percent and hong kong's hang seng is down point seven exporters a week as the gun strengthened against the dollar adventist of seven point three percent counting down over one to happen and this and motor down almost three
