waltz of all business forward to take a closer look at who will be the big winners from the huge share swap deal or. meet in a multi-billion dollar partnership between the russian architects and. you're watching r t two in the morning here in moscow a very warm welcome to you now euro zone finance ministers are meeting in brussels to discuss further boosting the e.u. bailout which was set up all the last year well the european commission and the european central bank want to deepen the fund saying it's currently too small if a larger eurozone members like spain need help belgium's finance minister did you arrange the emergency pot should be doubled to one. in five trillion euros however

germany has so far ruled out any substantial increase reflecting major tensions in the union. member of the european parliament for the u.k. independence party says the bailout won't work because of the scale of debts in the e.u. this bailout fund is really a huge bucket of money which the only people who are putting serious corners of money into it are the germans calls the germans are getting cross because the whole of the bottom of the bucket so what's actually happening is 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 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 call come true 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 camel have one currency for sixteen or seventeen different economies. work it isn't working it's like today 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 project through should be criminally culpable and i would like to see them when this finally breaks probably next year i'd like to see them go to prison we've got twenty seven members we've got twenty seven different cultures different languages different economies the whole thing is tightly enough to be diverse because a few people have this dream of a political unity in a european union project they've stuffed everything into the same paulson it's going wrong it's been going wrong for years well another m.e.p. morton messerschmitt of denmark says the battle to save the by bailing out countries in trouble involves measures never agreed on or even thought up a single currency was created. 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 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 there was never promise there 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 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 stabilize some realities to say we have two different economical zones in the in e.u.

so we cannot have one currency we should at least have two different currencies in the euro zone maybe actually sixteen which we have as we had ten years ago. now tunisia has formed a new national unity government to prepare the country for elections days after the former president was exiled following widespread violent protests of the new administration led by the prime minister marks the first time the opposition has been given a share in power president ben ali was ousted after twenty three years in office and is that with saudi arabia the country remains tense with some protesters urging revolution to force radical changes in government fessor political scientist from the american university of paris says what used to be a relatively stable country suffering europe and africa could 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 thirds of

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 encouragement if it doesn't get that then it could simmering 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 care to get the new democracy or the move the italian adriatic coast is a major tourist destination with the seas also a huge source of income for local fisherman but local say nato is using their waters for other reasons to dump toxic chemicals including depleted uranium despite increasing illness from eating the local fish and diminishing marine life in the

area nato and the italian government aren't giving many answers matthew stevens reports. on this quiet stretch you see there is more than meets the eye this area of the mediterranean has been a minute she dumping ground ever since world war one enormous amount of weaponry in talks which is present in these waters u.s. bombs from the forty's and needle weapons used in the one nine hundred ninety nine war against serbia including depleted uranium i mean ition these weapons often contain toxic substances such as sulfur mustard gas and phosphorous. 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 fisherman has said the presence of the nato weapons is seriously affecting their lives and posing a threat to the local ecosystem. there are areas where these bombs keep ending up

in the nets we try and avoid them following the war in one nine hundred 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 and paula was once comprised of almost two hundred members now there are just five natives 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 the true nature was 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. has 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 still awaiting answers from nato we do everything we will.

when. and. following. that will. we will. but landis believes nato hasn't yet turned up to its responsibilities should be economic condition for those affected europe need to and above all the united states must be held accountable the beautiful water very droughts the coastline where stretches from the gulf of venice to the union sea are a magnet for tourists and provide a livelihood for fishermen but looking beneath the waves more than just fish. in the southeast of italy for. and still to come this hour breaking the law to stand up for the less fortunate as the u.s. . world's most unequal industrialized nation some americans turn to

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 this computer war western media believe that this is a joint effort taken by israel. america is ations this is fairly dubious that this a joint effort could be taken to undermine the iranian nuclear program. called who edits a nuclear energy magazine says that while the potential threat should be studied at chernobyl style scenario today in the realm of fiction. reactors have been improved significantly. by another one so i'm not so much concerned so i. usually.

well for decades americans have turned to civil disobedience as a means of standing up to the system but now instead of citizens american scott and the financial crisis are choosing a more creative tactic as artie's lauren lyster reports it's a more quiet protest that has literally gone underground. the only language that they are doing bad it's going down in the us most are familiar with the age old protest tactic of civil disobedience we sure are moderate you're supposing what's established and in some way 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 documentation 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 may not be quite paid to the papers there are no state making a right this is left with a razor heard call it economic distress they don't see it because it's 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 as they can to give them a free ride a few resistance their rights were resisting the cost of living is going up and 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 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 they 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 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'm able to feed their children here is 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 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 their was also lauren lyster r.t. new york and still ahead real money for fake purposes and a bonus cover how money donated from abroad for people in need in the india and soften the pockets of combat. now nine people have been held in western ukraine for allegedly plotting to assassinate the country's president police swooped on an area where the presidential plane was to takeoff with a flight route subsequently changed ortiz alexy ownership skiis in kiev with the

details. nine men were detained in the western ukrainian city of havana from calls for an alleged assassination attempt of the crimean president viktor yanukovych which these men identified themselves as members of the radical nationalist organization called the local police reports that in the house which these men were renting just ten kilometers from the airport they managed to find a whole stockpile of weaponry including explosives grenades kalashnikov assault rifles guns and never gave systems and even make up for disguise this according to the local authorities makes them believe that these men were plotting an assassination attempt of the president viktor yanukovych who is now on visit in the west of ukraine along with the parliament speaker of the libyan who was also threatened to be assassinated according to the local authorities experts are now speculating as to whether it was possible for the man to gun down the airplane from

the ground because they had no rocket launchers in the stockpile of weaponry only sniper rifles and this is now being discussed whether it was possible to gun a plane down but obviously these threats were taken seriously by the presidential administration and he had to reschedule the flight in the west of ukraine not to suffer this attack. and now let's have a look at some other headlines from around the world a former swiss banker has handed over what he says are back account details of a huge pool of international law makers and celebrities to wiki leaks well he alleges that the documents expose widespread tax fraud schemes by individuals in the u.s. and britain and asia when he returns to switzerland the man will stand trial for stealing back information we said it's got a song or she says files will be released to newspapers and fraud investigators following a review. the polish province so put it on there has been flooded due to melting

some charities are accused of being a simply a front for calling artists only open during the tourist season and many so-called schools run by these organizations pocket the cash from well meaning foreigners as soon as they leave charan singh investigates. well come to this school in. eastern india the building and classrooms may look functional but classes are rarely held here. that's because it exists only to attract foreign tourists to donate money to the school. so if you think we're running a business here you're quite right this is how i feed myself by the way there are other n.g.o.s here who take money and don't even have any facilities. to be sure there's no work. and this is. where the future starts you can make. money. with india estimated to have

one third of the world's poor and many foreign tourists try to donate their time and money to a good cause when they visit money from france wanted to work with children and conducted. lucky for her it was genuine and her money helped make a difference we. made some good. and. easy. money to make you. pay. to chair but you can never be sure that the money you don't need is put to good use. and this huge number is compounded by the highly on organized nature of the nonprofit sector there is no uniform accounting policy order porting framework. there are many n.g.o.s here that run schools and government manufacturing but they only run during the tourist season but when the season ends and their activities also wind

down children start going to school and then in winter when the tourist season starts again these n.g.o.s drag the children from the surrounding villages back to the schools but some groups are working towards increasing ngo called ability through annual reviews and accreditation oxfam is a leading internet. and works with two hundred fifty local partners across india it conducts regular order to ensure its programs are implemented professionally we need to push our partners really and say that you know unless you meet some minimum standards we will not fund you anymore because we are the only thing n.g.o.s have if you look at global surveys we have the public's trust without i think many times arning it they don't give it to us because they think we're doing good work we have it we need to not only men pee in it we need to grow it and if we don't move fast enough then a few scandals in the sector could really bad very fast with n.g.o.s in india raising over eight billion dollars in funding every year the stakes are very high

the government has banned forty one in jewels from receiving foreign funds in the past few years and recently revised a nine hundred seventy six law that oversees and yours but do we see a single set of accountability procedures this will continue to lack transparency and that could hurt those most in need god and seeing r t. well i'll be back in the headlines right after the business update with sharon i can. hello welcome to our business program. b.p.'s proposed a swap with rosneft worth around eight billion dollars has been that with approval by russia's third largest oil company t n k b.p. the partnership will see both exploit potentially massive oil and gas deposits in russia's arctic cause mental shelf lot of point to analyst b.p.'s proposed share
