e.u. finance ministers meet in brussels to consider boosting the. amount of money to help struggling economies we'll save the euro. waste in the water claims in a big area it is a dramatic coast is poisoned by sunken nato weapons sparks concerns over a toxic legacy that is in danger and people. and business update major share swap to oil giant b.p. team up in this deal to join explore the optics potential energy transitions.

with news from russia and from around the world this is our team here in moscow twenty four hours a day european union finance ministers are meeting in brussels to discuss the proposal to boost the e.u. bailout fund which was set up last year the e.u. commission has proposed to further deepen the fund saying it won't be able to provide and if the struggling eurozone members like spain and portugal need help already concerns from germany which is pushing for a more comprehensive approach danish m.e.p. says the e.u. bailout strategy is not a permanent cure. at bailout it's always only a temporary solution since they cover up for the lack of. unity within the euro zone it's evident to that that the euro is not going to be saved just pulling good money after bad money or poorly spent money. very construction of the euro is a failure because we have tried all the federalists have tried to unify something which is. clearly. so different that economies cannot be integrated fully and

that's what we are paying the price for now you can only have a common euro common currency if you have the same financial policy that's also why the commission has suggested or demanded that all of the euro countries now shall have their budgets accepted in brussels before the national parliaments can discuss the budgets you can only have a common currency if you have a common economic policy that was never promised it was never told before the introduction of the euro that was the first lie now is being demanded to greece portugal ireland italy and so on that they must strengthen up their economy they must do whatever is done in germany and those countries who are paying them out well that of course the southern european countries don't want to make that kind of reforms that's why you see the riots in these countries and the germans are fed up paying other people's bills that's why you see the riots they are so the solution

obviously is simply to stabilise some realities to say we have two different economical shown in you so we cannot have one currency we should at least have two different currencies in the euro zone maybe actually sixteen which as we had ten years ago. when is the global financial recovery in danger that's a question up for debate and peter the bill's cross-talk program the full show is coming up in the next hour here's a quick preview for you. we've all heard of the iron triangle this is an iron rectangle because it's bureaucrats lobbyists politicians and special interest groups all getting rich at the expense of the american people that should outrage and upset everybody and it happens unfortunately not just in america it happens in europe with the special interest and i worry it is happening in china where you guys they make this evolution to a free market system that's been great hundreds of millions of people having higher living standards and him i just want to comment on that if he likes it so much so i

would really like him to i do think that living here i mean given the way the united states is going and europe is going i mean seriously i think. maybe one of the options. on the way here not here at all nato. has announced a new unity government headed by the incumbent prime minister to ready the country for elections this comes off to vote in protest as overthrew the president of the twenty three year rule forcing him to flee the country the atmosphere remains tense with protesters urging the revolution to continue in a bid to force radical changes in government professor hall gardner a political scientist from the american university of paris told me earlier that what used to be a relatively stable country but for europe and africa could now explode the whole region. the main problem for most of the middle east countries and islamic

countries in general is what i call the youth bulge of the youth a large percentage of your men entering the workforce who don't have opportunities for jobs this is a problem for pakistan. ghana stands throughout much of the middle east it needs more competition needs more investment it needs it needs some international encouragement if it doesn't get that then it could simmer it could begin to create fissures in the rest of the region but to these are highly educated they're very westernized they're on the internet the young people all want to identify with europe i really don't see them identifying but if the economy doesn't pick up may see more turning toward towards this if if you can't get the new democracy on the move. and europe should help developing nations solve their problems on their own soil and stop accepting immigrants that's the view of bruno garnish from the french

national front and that full interview he gave to r.t. is coming your way in twenty minutes from now but here's a preview for you. it's a progress eve. which is quite natural if we have not enough french people people from abroad and mainly from muslim africa to get a better life in our country. their home country can understand that europe should have protected against the side effects of the body isn't what it was and the keys to borders were kept open. to all kind of floats of people but i think we have the right to change its policy to keep millions of people abroad to try to help them in their own country and to remain. the masters of. the coastline of the adriatic sea attracts tourists and provides income for

fisherman but locals say in recent years the waters have been poisoned because nato has dumped toxic chemicals there including depleted uranium despite many people being made sick by eating the fish caught there and the diminishing marine life it telling government and the alliance remain tight lipped as matthew stevens reports . on this quiet stretch you see there is more than meets the eye this area of the mediterranean has been a military dumping ground ever since world war one nervous amount of weaponry in talks which is present in these waters u.s. bombs from the forty's and nato weapons used in the one nine hundred eighty nine war against serbia including depleted uranium i mean these weapons often contain toxic substances such as sulfur mustard gas and phosphorous. and italian investigative journalist spent years trying to uncover it their secrets johnny landis has received death threats and been attacked this footage by landis reveals some can vessels in toxic waste on the seabed of pull u.s.

coast fishermen has said the presence of the nato weapons is seriously affecting their lives and posing a threat to the local ecosystem in that there are areas where these bombs keep ending up in our nets we try to avoid them following the war ninety ninety nine the fish of practically disappeared from our waters become a cause have affected our health too causing skin or shoes blood vision and so forth fishermen have had to quit their jobs because of the scarcity of fish but fishing co-operative in seaside town are more fit to emporia was once comprised of almost two hundred members now there are just five nature says there are six contaminated areas along the edge or attic coasts but lana's claims this is just the tip of the iceberg and i mean tito need to is lying twenty four areas are affected not six dilatation of these areas have not even be made public the population is being kept in the dark quatro his repeated attempts to raise the issue with his defense minister have led to nothing and the legacy of years of

military dumping continues to be felt to this day with a local fisherman of sin awaiting on says from nato we do everything we will. when. and. following. that will. but landis believes nato hasn't yet turned up to its responsibilities should be economic conversation for those affected europe need to and above all the united states must be held accountable the beautiful water of the adriatic coast line where stretches from the gulf of venice to the sea are a magnet for tourists and provide a livelihood for italian fishermen but working beneath the waves more than just fish match you see. in the southeast of italy for.

well still ahead here this hour breaking the more to help the underprivileged the growing gap between rich and poor in the u.s. is driving some into a new form of civil disobedience details in a few materiality and also still to come this hour. and a major attempt to assassinate the ukrainian president has been uncovered that's coming up later. but first the russian nuclear agency denies that iran's bushehr reactor could be damaged by computer virus this follows western newspaper reports of the plant was subject to a sophisticated joint u.s. israeli cyber attack. from the moscow based institute of world economy and international relations told r.t. that such an attack is completely unrealistic. this is just the media western media report hype actually because. of course all the nuclear installations for all the world have for the so called to double systems which actually prevent any. harsh

or serious nuclear disaster even if there is a computer warm being in the system so i don't think that there is a major threat to. build atomic power plant. having in mind these computer war western media believe that this is a joint effort taken by israeli america because ations this is. a joint effort could be taken to undermine the iranian nuclear program. chief of nuclear energy publications says although the potential threat should be started at chernobyl stalled. is in the realm of fiction. since your novel the safety oriya reactors have been improved significantly in more stuff safety system. by another one so i am not so much

concerned that such a scenario could be repeated usually they are quite well protected and just their cyber terrorists could not damage such a high tech facility but at the same time for sure this is a new type of threat which should be quiet well studied by experts whore's sponsible for cyber security not on their nuclear power plants but at they are there are high tech facilities. civil disobedience has for decades been used in the united states as a means of resistance now instead of taking to the streets people caught in the center of america's financial crisis but using a rather different tactic. to reports it's a more quiet protest that has gone underground quite literally. the only language that they understand is shutting down in the us most are familiar with the age old protest tactic of civil disobedience we usually moderate protests you're supposing

what's established and somewhere with signs would be civil disobedience but these days with rising inequality and low wages in the us being a pressing issue many researchers and activists are documentation wages are falling cutting benefits for people taking away their pensions and there is evidence of a different form of disobedience now taking place all over the country may not be as high paid to the papers there are no state making a right this is left with a razor heard call it economic descent you may not see it but it is going on underground. and poor neighborhoods in new york city some residents organized to raise a little money to buy subway cards offering unlimited rides they swipe as many people in his they can to give them a free ride here or is this unfair rights were resisting the cost of living is

going up in so many ways for all the one of the activists who organizes this form of disobedience most importantly it's in response to an economic system he sees as unfair and taxes are being cut for wealthy people in their appeals for someone. to go to the richest people in this neighborhood so we just think that's wrong un-american sociologist found the subversion of the system going on all over the country but she found these acts among business managers in the middle class helping out their employees who really were about the fact that wages for some or all of these were managers who felt as though the people working for them during a jobs being responsible were still unable to take care of their families she found grocery store managers sending bags of food home with were. fast food managers padding paychecks with overtime wages she also found most of these managers believe breaking the rules is wrong but these people were saying that

there are much bigger problems and ignoring the fact that people who are working very hard for you are i mean able to feed their children is in the minds of some people at least let us become a bigger wrong in their eyes it's a bigger wrong people are breaking the rules to make right whether it's in all these low income new york neighborhood neighborhood people who don't really have much of a political voice or whether it's behind the closed office doors of the middle class breaking the rules because of the economic imbalance in the country and what seems in america to be the rising disobedience of modern day that are going to bail us out this is what will do to ourselves more and lyster r.t. new york. by the way you can always check out our website for all the news blogs feature stories and many more here's a quick look at what's online for you right now if you're looking for a foster way to get around you might want to check out the wood to have a crawl through a few more than
