european union finance ministers are meeting in brussels to discuss boosting their bailout fund after the european commission said the current one is too small if more countries such as spain and portugal needed in the agency funding when i spoke to. the european parliament for the u.k. independence party nothing will save the euro because the single currency project was flawed from the start. this bailout fund is really a huge bucket of money which the only people putting serious corners of money into it the germans calls the germans are getting cross because the whole of the bottom of the bucket so what's actually happening it doesn't matter how much money you put into this huge bailout bucket it's not going to work until somebody seals up the holes at the bottom of the broke the portuguese broke the spanish broke the greeks broke the broke so it's plain to see that nothing's actually working the only thing that was working at the moment is the german economy and the dutch economy and some

of the coal country is everything else is going badly wrong as i said it would do ten years ago when i was a guest lecturer at cambridge university this whole concept is absolutely absurd you can't have one currency for sixteen or seventeen different economies seventy can work it isn't working it's floating out like a deck the whole thing was ridiculous from the start and it's ridiculous now and moreover a more serious note a lot of very small people are going to be hurt by this and i think the people who drove this euro zone project through should be criminally culpable and i would like to see them when this finally breaks probably next year i'd like to go to prison for a strong words there but what about for the european union itself obviously many of expressed fears that if the euro collapses the euro as i cannot just so does the european union. yes well it's a very silly and absurd organization anyway isn't it we've got twenty seven members we've got twenty seven different cultures different languages different economies the whole thing is tough enough to be diverse because

a few people have this dream of a political unity in an european union project they've stuffed everything into the same polls and it's going wrong it's been going wrong for years the euro is just a sort of phenomenon getting worse and worse don't forget the new treaty the new constitution we had was voted down by the french down by the job the british have been given a referendum which they were promised by the main political parties this whole thing is going wrong. and it's been an idea of the political class for years and with problems we have now is the biggest divergence between the political class the bureaucratic class and the electorate this whole thing has no legitimacy dymo democratically whatsoever and so is breaking up. well is the global financial recovery in danger and that's the question up for debate in peter develops cross-talk program the full show is coming up in the next for you but here's a brief preview. we've all heard the are a 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 know as they make this evolution to a free market system that's been great hundreds of millions of people have a higher living standards and him i just want to comment on if he likes it so much so i would really like him to i do think this. is the way the united states is going and europe is going i mean seriously i think. maybe one of the options. coming up later here on r t tunisia has announced a new unity government headed by the incumbent prime minister to ready the country

for elections this comes after a violent protest as overthrew the president after a twenty three year rule forcing him to flee the country misfit remains tense tense deserves a revolution to continue the bid to force changes in. professor hall garden a political scientist from the american university of paris told me earlier that what used to be a relatively stable country buffer in europe and africa can now bring instability to 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 and this is a problem for pakistan. afghanistan throughout much of the middle east it needs more competition needs more investment it needs some international encourage but if it doesn't get that then it could simmer it could begin to create fissures in the rest of the region to these are highly educated they're very westernized they're on

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. well still ahead for you this hour in r.t. breaking the law to help the underprivileged a growing rich and poor this is driving some to a new form of civil disobedience details if you. and its attempt to make ukrainian president has been uncovered that's coming up later in the program here on r.t. . but first 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 the italian 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 the enormous amount of weaponry in talks which is present in these waters u.s. bombs from the forty's and need to 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 phosphorus. and italian investigative journalist spent years trying to uncover it has 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 pool 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 and 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 rashes blood vision and so forth fishermen have had to quit their jobs because of the scarcity of fish this issue corporative in seaside town are more fit to emporia was once comprised of almost two hundred members now there are just five nato 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 out of the i mean tito nature was lying twenty four areas are affected not six the location 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. went. in. following.

them. 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 coastline where stretches from the gulf of venice to the sea are magnet for tourists and provide a livelihood for fisherman but lurking beneath the waves more than just fish matthew stevens in the southeast of italy. the russian nuclear agency denies that iran's bushehr reactor could be damaged by a computer virus as far as western newspaper reports of the plant was subject to a sophisticated joint u.s. israeli cyber attack. from the moscow based into to the world economy and

international relations told r.t. that such an attack is completely unrealistic this is just a media western media report hype actually because of course all the nuclear installations throughout 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 fairly dubious that this a joint effort could be taken to undermine the iranian nuclear program and editor in chief of a nuclear energy publication says well though the potential threat should be

started which you know will style scenario nowadays is in the realm of fiction. since sure novel the safety oriya of reactors have been improved significantly in more stuff safety system. by another one so i'm 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 tackle solidity but they're the same time for sure this is a new type of threat which should be quite well studied by experts who are as sponsible for cyber security not only the nuclear power plants but they are other 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 choosing

a rather different tactic. to reports it's a more quiet protest that has gone underground quite literally. the only language that they are. going down in the us most are familiar with the age old protest tactic of civil disobedience we drive on protests you're supposing what's established standing somewhere with signs of the civil disobedience but these days with rising inequality and low wages in the us being a pressing issue many researchers and activists are documented wages are falling cutting benefits for people taking away their pensions there is evidence of a different form of disobedience now taking place all over the country maybe not quite paid to pay for it there are no state making a lot of it and let's look at the research here call it an economic difference they don't see it because it's going on underground. and poor neighborhoods in new

york city some residents organize to raise a little money to buy subway cards offering unlimited rides they swipe as many people in as they can to give them a free ride a few resistance their heads 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 and their bailouts for banks. that are the richest people in this neighborhood so we just think that's wrong an 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 and being 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. hers vast food managers padding paychecks with overtime wages she also found most of these managers believe breaking the rules is wrong but these people are saying that there are much bigger problems and ignoring the fact that people who are working very hard for you are unable to feed their children in the minds of some people at least others 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 never before 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 there was also lauren lyster r.t.
