this is r t it's eleven pm monday night here in moscow welcome in with our top story and on our team use crews been freed on bail after spending around thirty two hours in a u.s. jail they were taken into custody in the state of georgia while filming an annual rally near a military base nicknamed the school of assassins our camera was rolling throughout the whole arrest this is the footage and exactly what happened. i wasn't doing anything. i moved i was a member. i member the problem sorry ok i'm sorry. i'm sorry. i'm sorry i'm a member of the but i i was i would i loved are here and now they're arresting me

and i don't understand why. it's really tight really really think about it if. i'm sorry if i. take the bank i. think well that's correspondent carol and for their own cameraman john conway you can see also forced to pay a fine art of the accused of taking part in the unlawful rally place is still considering tonight another charge against them for allegedly failing to abate officers instructions despite the crew claiming they followed every order kalen described her handling by police is brutal. i was there with my cameramen covering the school of the americas watch rally in vigil at fort benning this vigil has been going on for many many years and the police when we interviewed them before the all these events transpired they talked about how peaceful this event usually is how

they never have problems with the protesters and then while we were filming we were asked to step aside we were asked to step onto the sidewalk which we did this is documented in the footage that we shot we turned our backs and all of a sudden we were being arrested we were not told what we were being charged with we were taken to the county jail it took about four hours for us to be told what we were being charged with and we were processed through the system and we actually spent thirty two hours in the county jail there in georgia so we've just been released earlier this morning you know i've been a journalist and hundred i've been a journalist in many other countries and you see the sort of oppression of journalists this kind of violence against against the media this attempts to control what kind of information is being getting is getting out but i've never seen that in the united states and the united states is my country and i believe very strongly in the first amendment and i always really believe that it did protect us as media workers as press workers even though we were clearly credentialed press were accredited with the united states congress we presented our

press credentials and they still arrested as we were charged just as all the either activists were all of us were found guilty of every single charge brought against us there was no distinction made between the press and between the you know the activists that were there and the bystanders the innocent bystanders so really we we we felt as journalists that we didn't have protection of freedom of the press we didn't have first amendment rights and it's interesting that this happened outside of the school of the america where they're training soldiers and police to do these kind of actions against the populations of latin america and much of the same repression was seen on the streets of the united states the cases and over again we did appear before a judge in many ways it was the most. undemocratic i would say process you know sort of miscarriage of justice i mean a lot of us weren't even permitted to speak we weren't even permitted to hear what the police officers were saying against as or permitted to respond it was sort of the judge chose to not only you know press charges against us and decide to even

though it was an arraignment but also sentences and we're also facing state charges for unlawful assembly which as journalists we you know obviously are not part of an unlawful assembly where they're covering it under our first amendment rights so that's the next case that's going to be taken up with the state of georgia and we're very hopeful that our lawyers who have been very supportive in this process and all the people who have been in solidarity with us will continue to support us in this process and see what we can do about these charges as well. for the correspondent first time account of the arrest that she went through willful post twenty years activity of the military academy in question has been the subject of public scrutiny of these going to that side of the story. there has been a growing public outrage with what's going on at fort benning and his training camp for latin american military and law enforcement officers they've trained around

sixty thousand of them many of whom have returned to their countries and became very dangerous they committed all kinds of human rights abuses for example in one thousand nine hundred ninety three the united nations truth commission on el salvador named the army officers who had committed the worst atrocities of the civil war they are two thirds of them had been good it had been trained at the school of the americas in chile the schools graduates rainbow. secret police and his and some of his main prisons there which are often referred to as concentration camps generals who led the bloody military coup in honduras in two thousand and nine were trained at the school of the americas which is now called the western hemisphere institute for security cooperation while the name has changed but the practice is obviously have. have not caylee now reporter was covering all this in the rally outside fort benning where the training center is located governor ridge cone reported nearly sure you've got your views on water. and

a couple of those we featured that story in a special edition of. fools being the story the two. within a couple of hours tonight. more news today debt stricken ireland will receive a massive bailout of over one hundred billion dollars from the european union and the international monetary fund that is the second emergency rescue package organized by the euro zone after similar measures were taken for greece to talk more about this now with a deal he says scuffle arcus he's editor in chief of the new europe newspaper very good evening chewer joining us now live from brussels there it's a pleasure to have you on the program sir first this year a mammoth rescue package for greece now ireland portugal's looking perilous these troubles seem to be gaining momentum don't they do the eurozone countries really

believe these bailouts are working. it seems that they have to work they have to work because there's no other way to deal with the problem if they take for example last year time of the year but we had the election who had a new government who stated the problem the government of less yet around this time of the year said that the countries in the verge of bankruptcy but they didn't produce at that time a viable solution to the problem with the thinks you get worse and worse and we had last may end of last may beginning of june the package to save greece handwritten twenty billion now. at a time of. going. only way but. in value. is a quite different kind of problem it's

a banking problem actually quite english it was an overspending problem of the past government during the i would say the thirty years the past thirty years have been overspending so we have to do different to defend. cases that are among the over to the same problem the problem of. hoover how can i put it as a problem with a lot of my almost but it's a problem a lot of money needs to be spent to make things better despite what the cause wasn't out there all the big a you have the way it's really ready to shoulder any further bailouts after this i mean how deep other pockets actually going to go. this is the this this is the fear of the heavyweights as you put it. it's obviously into germany and france and. germany and france the.

press that would say pushed ireland to take refuge to the european mechanisms to save its. financial gain a financial credibility if this is possible but in the future if other other problems arise i would say spain or in new delhi should portugal yes probably. their big big countries would not be able to or would not be willing to spend that kind of money. i would say that the triple of what have spent so far for greece and ireland and so. they have a solution mrs merkel it's. twenty days now she has asked. me if you has managed to get through

a change in the. in the treaty of the european union the treaty of lisbon this this change would say that the countries that are not able to cope with their for their financial problems will be. would be obliged to capitulate. but it is not only that. many said that all the bones all state bonds that have been issued so far are more or less gallant did but no more it is from now on i want to bring in a personal side to this simplistic of a question you're a great national yourself i believe i'm on a personal level have to make you feel that your own country was forced to go with a begging bowl to other members of its club at the end of the day had to make you feel as a great. it's depressing the view obviously it's depressing everybody is depressed in greece but. can the country actually went out to the

ball too because there were no money to pay pensions there were money to pay state sector wages so the government was obliged to capitulate actually. to forego a. good part of. things. but there are many people. who say that at that time. a year in the year before the government. elections in the ninth of. last year and. in the next few days stated the problem it didn't produce a reliable draft show lucian to the problem. they waited they waited without saying anything almost so we came to an end of may and

at that time there were no other solution is left but the mistake of a lot has been to talk a lot more about this and what may happen in the nearest future in the euro zone but for now i'm afraid we're out of time at the end he says careful like i said this one chief of the new europe newspaper a pleasure to have you on the program thank you. thank you i'm still coming up indeed plenty more ahead on r.t.e. tonight. the elfie has become a wasteland of sand sol dust and pollution and when the france joined me and kazakstan to investigate how this transformation has affected the people here and how it put it down on the environment forever. the top stories russia newspapers published new details of the joint nato russian missile defense shield discussed on the sidelines of last weekend's alliances. in lisbon under a new proposal offered by president medvedev the two sides would cover separate sectors of territory citing identify diplomatic source the paper saying that simply
