and a permanent. countries out when they do get into trouble is that they don't want to pay the price for all the countries irresponsible money management ever again as they did here where. in all the so there you are critical of this economic bloc 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 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 tighter rules. as an aspiring european country that 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's 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. but i am at reporting there now on the sidelines of the summit eleven out of the twenty seven e.u. member countries rejected plans to increase the e.u.'s budget by six percent and

they said the demand is unacceptable in the current cash strapped environment according to your a skeptic am a p gerard barton the only solution to the financial problems is to get rid of the single currency. their problem is always that there isn't enough european union not with us too much of it but 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 tube so the economies of countries like germany and france and the u.k. it would be a lot more healthy if they weren't burdened with the 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 at 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 never inevitably only get worse. a subtle come of the program here in our t.v. sale season for american leftovers. we refuse or not thank you for that would we say take your junk away with you know and these are just some of the items on sale at bargain prices where the risk of pollution and disease thrown in for free. at last come true bears wonder the streets of some russian towns driven from the woods by the summer heat wave at a search for food. president obama has been forced into some major changes to his administration and many of his advisors from his chief of staff to canonic and military experts are jumping off a sinking political ship lauren lyster looks into why there are so many vacancies coming up at the white house. 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 and a big problem that is going on there 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 who 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. if of staff even as i leave the white house i will never leave that spirit of service top political advisor or director of the council of economic advisors larry summers is one of the worst tires he ever made paramount being he was instrumental in the 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 pass 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 fix the economy no matter who's in office but policies that really are inadequate or 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 you 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 to kind of 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. and 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 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 at the shows this gulf between academics theoreticians senior level government officials and what the american public goes through every day that is draw of us troops from iraq is due to and next year but those who have already pulled out are leaving behind a dangerous legacy junk to businessman it could be worth millions but as policy you're 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 darts the falutin landscape. lots 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 what. prices are attracted quite reasonable here the sellers claim they came across the beach in 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 rubbish 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 taken 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. the americans didn't leave anything behind for four years i'm sure of it all the stuff it's all generic and sort of the rake in scant used to humvees the regular army get from the american army we 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. people here in america if they are 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 us military camps were the people to remain diseases including chest related and cancer and the concern is backed up by the iraqi government a doctor who acquitted the cause. there must have been

a great impact on the environment a great number of weapons were used in this world and on a wide scale tests show an increase in pollution levels 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. wars in both iraq and afghanistan have changed 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 about two hours time here on our team. 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 the stomach and chest pains of getting worse and no doctor has been able to help me please know that i'll finally be at peace and with no more pain i wish i could have had

a life with elizabeth 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. the media have been buzzing with speculation that nato may be trying to persuade russia to provide further assistance for operations in afghanistan but our team military contributor eve danny says before that happens the u.s. has to admit to the trouble it's caused in 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 and 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 he's 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 the full responsibility and commitment and to resume the aerial eradication of and counted the fields all across afghanistan. well it's not take a look at some other stories from around the world in indonesia's most volatile will cain who is erupting again after just hours of another disaster a tsunami hit several islands the day before the two natural disasters have claimed more than four hundred lives but scores are still missing rescue teams are continuing to search the worst hit areas in the hope of reaching survivors. presidential commission investigating of a b.p. oil disaster in the gulf of mexico has revealed cement used to seal the while and may have caused the blowout it says both the contractor responsible for the material and b.p. were aware of flaws in the mixture the report also claims four separate lab tests were carried out but only watch showed that the cement was suitable for deepwater

drilling the april rig explosion killed eleven workers and caused the worst environmental disaster in u.s. history. huge crowds have gathered outside a presidential palace to bid farewell to the former president who died on wednesday nestor kirschner of the husband of current president cristina fernandez had suffered from a sudden heart attack regional leaders have joined thousands in what is here is paying their respects the origin time government has declared three days of mourning flags will be flown at half mast. the two thousand activists have gathered in the south korea capital to show their support for your coming g. twenty summit some were also protesting against militant groups and north korean leader kim jong il which they say are a threat to world peace so as to host the g. twenty in two weeks' time where world leaders will discuss economic recovery and global financial system. how how can we feed the whole world in

a current economic downturn at a fair price and crossed off and his guest discussed what it takes to secure the world from hunger. i 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 the russian import just showed we have to factor in climate change when rob talks about or let anyone buy from anywhere well india was told to stop producing food by the world bank and we were told we should buy it 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 sovereignty.

and washed across the show in just over ten minutes time here on r.t. now 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 this year of natural food supplies have forced many wild animals to head into towns all over has war out of bears necessities. 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 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 sifting 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 found crushing a friend's. elsewhere in the city there was a more macabre incident involving a bear while visiting a cemetery two women saw what they believed to be a large man crouching going to grief as they got closer they realized that it was in fact that there was a dog a body and was feeding on it the women scream scared beyond weight it's at least eight hundred took turns to guard the cemetery and so far there has been no sign of the band so we had 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 it another form if we were told that the bear came from the direction of the tongue the dog attacked it trying to smother the dog the dog got away and started leading from bear way from the house that almost certainly bears

have also taken to attacking livestock as a source of food in the you kaminski district of central russia hunters 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 oliver r.t. . and for those of you who aren't scared of bears we have some more scary science on the way this time involving the supernatural. 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 higher and we think you need here at coney so

what you think scary enough. and on the eve of halloween martin andrews hears about some ghostly goings on and shows you russia's capital as you've never seen him before all that in the latest edition of moscow our next hour here on our team before going to motown joins us now with the business of dating and what have you got up your sleeve there well our top stories all today the russian government has unveiled its general plan to develop the oil industry until twenty twenty now speaking at a conference in the summer region prime minister putin stressed that they need to increase oil extraction in order to maintain current levels that's what he said. lucky to live with themselves that the main potential lies in increasing the efficiency of all extraction as well as the development of small or medium sized

fields especially 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. now while maintaining order extraction is a priority for the government the countries refiners are facing the purpose of the prospect of having to pay increase taxes and it's going to take over ports this may make some downstream operations and profitable. talk me of spent five and a half billion dollars to build the state of the art oil refinery in central russia the refining efficiency of this complex is unique for russia mine to seven percent of all the crude the the rife's 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.

producing on refined products up to ninety percent of the tax on crude alex a caution from you will see it says the government is thinking about the contras deficit and which areas of the oil industry it's most wants to develop they just might be looking for this sector that it's not yet tax and taxed enough and not just generate income and so what they see with them serving is that there's there's a. lack of cash for investment in the upstream so perhaps the shift of the off from segment at the moment the average ex-pro juice here on refined products such as patch oil and kerosene is about fifty five percent of that on crude the prime minister says the rival two hundred fifty or refineries in russia producing a very low quality product bots making a lot of money on preferential taxation putin wants the government to introduce a new tax regime for the oil sector by the end of this year but analysts warn

against an indiscriminate price for refiners the best way to turn courage complex refining seconder to posture 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 the government wants to ensure there is no tailing off in the country's crude output even if. that is done at the expense of. business. no let's take a look at the markets asian stock markets are mostly lower on friday concerns about the outlook for earnings weighed on investors in tokyo and seoul japan's nikkei is off one point seven percent in hong kong's hang seng is down point seven exporters are weak as the yen struggle against the dollar advances is down seven point three

expectations on wall street. the european commission plans to launch legal proceedings against its own member states that pay over flight fees to russia the move is a roundabout measure to eliminate billions of dollars in fees but russia charges european airlines to fly over siberia germany france phillips and australia and austria will be the first to face proceedings of the other twenty three member states are also under investigation the commission says countries doing unilateral deals with russia is competitive as the as the aviation rules require all e.u. citizens and companies be treated equally. possible to mind what if the solution is really simple and has already been outlined by russia the mechanism of these commercial agreements will be dismantled but it will happen in such a manner not to shock the companies which get the payments at the same time russia will consistently raise its fees for navigation services up to european levels taking into consideration the distances in russia it will be enough to compensate

the economy. that's all the business for now i'll be back with more in less than one hour meanwhile stay with us for a look at what happened in the well. i'm sorry that i had to do this i've been in so much pain in the past year that i can't
