keeps it secret but now it's time to reveal. the soviet fine house on the embankment. israel's political infighting casts a shadow in its international image as no one is sent to meet russia's president during his middle east visit thanks to strike the israeli foreign ministry. u.k. banks bailed out by taxpayer money prepared to hand out bumper bonuses ignoring a sturdy cuts and public pressure to limit the payouts. and as martin luther king's birthday is remembered worldwide some modern day political figures in the u.s. are accused of using the civil rights icon to use the excuse of america's war abroad .

in moscow you're watching our. russia's president is set to visit the palestinian territories on a two day trip to the middle east he'll meets the palestinian leader mahmoud abbas but despite having to step onto his really soil to get to abbas he won't be holding talks with any top israeli officials because of a foreign ministry strike their party's policy looks at whether that's just coincidence. it's russian president dmitri medvedev first visit to israel but he's not meeting one israeli official because the jewish state's foreign ministry has gone on strike it insists the strike was not planned to coincide with made various visit and was simply a call for higher wages but some say visit alterian motor of the strike is a little bit selective because the visit of russian president was canceled while the visit of the council of germany on the other merkel was and in

a way i think about this is a result of the. opposition of the workers of ministry of foreign affairs to the minister mr liberal. foreign minister avigdor lieberman is pushing for closer ties with former soviet union states while his department is pushing for him to be astrid born in the u.s.s.r. in present day moldova the former bouncer never came up through the ranks of the foreign ministry his views are right wing and he's been accused on more than one occasion of putting his foot in it makes it very clear that is a good all of. this middle. touchy then it is very likely that the best to do these racist ideas is a discipline that will put us under two years. but it's not the first time is really internal politics have soured the visits are foreign delegations last year just before the u.s. vice president joe biden came to israel the israeli prime minister announced the start of settlement building that decision was a blow to be

a bomb administration's a peacekeeping efforts and cool down israeli american relations and many believe that such political embarrassments are weakening israel's position in the international arena it is not the government of those countries but growth of the people of those countries in the public opinion of those countries to public opinion israel is definitely unfortunately. doing its of these radio. foreign ministry is the first to admit that made videos cancel visit is a missed opportunity particularly where. there will be. a corporate remembered group or across. it. but whatever the reason as medvedev meets with palestinian president mahmoud abbas and jordanian king abdullah israel will be sitting on the sidelines and watching

policy r t jerusalem. later this hour we speak to in a bill scher who is a member of the fatah central committee on in charge of international relations and the for the palestinian foreign minister he's a russia can play a big part in establishing peace in the middle east with the u.s. failing to influence the netanyahu government. there trying to convince netanyahu to stop through their occupation through building new settlements that the gaza blockade to stop the measures they're taking in jerusalem but the americans failed to do this they admit it and now put more pressure on us trying to bring us back to the negotiating table if you know who uses the current government as an excuse saying he cannot make a decision under this government or russia recognize the independent palestinian state in one hundred eighty eight with a nine hundred sixty seven borders with its capital in jerusalem and never denied that decision in other words many things show that russia is serious about its intentions and keeps reminding the world about the decisions that have been made before but enough forgotten.

now some of them may have been bailed out by the taxpayer but britain's biggest banks aren't letting that stop them giving their employees bumper bonuses it's a decision and defiance of political and public pressure to curb the pay outs and the severe cuts being made elsewhere across the economy artist laura and asked london sneakiest what they think. this is all staring. the homeless and needy queue up for food handouts from charities all over london and the u.k. but just a few miles away it's a different world with different rules prime minister david cameron has shied away from regulating bankers' bonuses they might have to be a bit more open about them but pay because there will be no windfall tax there was more. and bankers have taken that to heart

u.k. banks including some of those bailed out by taxpayers last year will be paying out eleven billion dollars to their staff this year here on the street where the needy live literally from hand to mouth that's going down badly but you know it's a disgrace. to british. and he's not the only one complaining last year saw thousands of students out on the streets demonstrating against austerity cuts about by global crisis triggered by reckless bankers now the right to work campaign is calling for a fresh wave of protests against what they're dumping the government surrender to the bankers and their huge paychecks but basically i think they're mad about it's going to seem seem especially when they're people struggling to even pay their rent to even feed and clothe their children when people are getting prepared three million pounds bonus is quite frankly excessive interest and disgusting amount of

money taxpayer lobby groups say they don't care what privately owned banks do but the ones that have been bailed out with taxpayer money have to show some restraint can't possibly be expected to stomach at a time when the government's making spending cuts to stomach these enormous bonus payouts and to watch all this go on when these banks interfere. get that it was the public's money that saved them but not everyone sees it that way daniel hoffman from financial services says banks is still vital in supporting economic recovery and if bonuses paid the best bankers will move elsewhere it's very crucial that the banking sectors around the world i mean really need mean cyclone and these are getting healthier and can support economic growth but house on the streets those who depend on charity to put food in their mouths find difficult to stomach with this latest backtracking on its regulation it seems banks on the governments have

learned very little from the financial crisis just a few miles away bankers continue to feel left pockets and looks set to be able to go on base it's but this time they're doing it with taxpayer money which could have been used to help the needy you read it. and in brussels eurozone finance ministers are meeting to discuss whether to boost the e.u. bailout fund which was only set up last year european commission and european central bank wants to widen the fund to give it more flexibility if larger eurozone members like spain need help belgium's finance minister wants the pod double to one point five trillion euros however germany the biggest eurozone economy has so far ruled out any substantial increase in reflection of the major tensions within the union i mean that's denmark says the battle to save the euro by bailing out countries in trouble involves measures never agreed on when the single currency was

created. because known to have a common your 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 show have their. 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 a promise that what they were told before the introduction of food. 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's of course the southern european countries don't want to make that kind of reforms that's why you see the rich 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 shown in you so we

cannot have one currency we should have least have two different currencies in the euro zone maybe actually sixteen which we have as we have to ten years ago. and while europe models over its economic woes china is offering its support to help the continent tackle its crisis in his latest program max kaiser looks at why the asian state is doing it the kaiser report is coming your way later in the program but here's a preview. let me make this following prediction china is buying european bonds why are they doing this i think it's because at some point they will demand payment in the form of gold you know in the european zone there are about eleven thousand tons of gold which would be the highest concentration of gold in the world higher than even the u.s. is eight thousand tons of gold china into europe buying those bonds of course europeans will never be able to pay off those bonds because their economies are in freefall and then china will turn around and say ok you can pay us back in euro's

but we'll take the payment in gold. now when people across the globe join together to on earth dr martin luther king on his birthday it showed a legacy of this moral crusader in america's race war lives on but as our team is christian discovered some are also taking advantage of his name to gain support for u.s. wars abroad. those are out a very. low art form ever. one day levon on the web a while not being heard by a crowd of about them but by the content of back our our higher up it was a dream so powerful it eventually came true its impact so strong it fractured the foundation of a society my fellow americans. i am about to sign into law. the

civil rights act one thousand nine hundred sixty. odd. and so every year on this day to honor the birthday of dr martin luther king jr. people gather to pay tribute to him. so it is no surprise then that the name of this american hero is often invoked but once in a while that legacy gets hijacked i come to tell you now that the truth shall set you free. first there was the glenn beck rally on the mall on august twenty eighth the same day at the same location martin luther king jr gave his i have a dream speech ladies and gentlemen the selling of conservative talk show host message was one thing now his name is being used to drum up support for u.s. wars in a speech given last week dr j.

johnson attorney at the pentagon said i believe that of dr king were alive today he would recognize that we live in a complicated world and that our nation's military should not and cannot lay down its arms and leave the american people vulnerable to terrorist attack wait what that's funny because in addition to leading the civil rights movement dr martin luther king was one of the most outspoken critics of the viet. war i think he shot a misquote with the king and put him inside of a war that he would have been again there something strangely didn't create such good about a nation and a pretty bad would praise you when you should be in the balance or jam a car but with a person damn you when you say be no problem little brat vietnamese children his lessons are prominent in communities across the country but in particular and churches like this one in the southwest washington and although there are so many

more than one thing you seem to hear time and time again martin luther king promoted peace his message was simply this either we turn to live together as brothers and sisters on this planet and we work there is to get this foolish foolish what many people thing of dr king's name being invoked for the wrong reasons i think got became would a march with many of us. from the very beginning. needlessness of going over there it wasn't about weapons of mass destruction it was about all let's be real in this city where the struggle for civil rights lives on many gathered here say there is a vast difference between honoring history and revising it. in washington christine for sound r.t. . marc rod is an anti-war activist who believes that under the influence of technology young people today are growing less empathetic towards others when compared to the martin luther king generation. there's

a general feeling that nothing can ever change which i think is wrong we have the advantage of those of the labor and civil rights movement to show us that what an individual does can make a difference in it we in a movement so we have the advantage of. understanding the met the seen the methods and the growth of the labors civil rights and enter we're movement eventually now young people don't have that they don't have apathy i think they do they are somewhat defeated however i think that through studying history and through and learning about. this circle movement and social movements in the united states they will be coming back to it i believe or strongly that the rationality wins out in the end over irrationality however just one more thing if i may i believe that people are too distracted now with entertainment. entertainment seems to be the

goal of life and that was not the case forty five years ago if you live from moscow still have for us our political opposition in tunisia marks the first time it's been given power as a former president fleas and ticks ah but some experts warn the unrest there could spread to the wider region. the leaders of the world's two biggest economies are meeting in washington china's president hu jintao is in a high level four day visit and economics will dominate have the trip china's leader said the international currency system led by the u.s. dollar is a product of the past and needs to be replaced with china's national currency by jim rogers who's a financial commentator says it's not time for the yawn to step up as the world's dominant economy just yet. and china they save and invest over thirty five percent of their income the way you build a successful economy if you build capital i mean every call marks and knew that you

have to have capital in order to have a successful economy way to get a successful economy and he and i would disagree on how to do it but you got a bill kaplan the way you build capital as you say if you invest the chinese have been saving and investing over thirty five percent of their income and the united states we've been saving and investing two percent of our income we've been borrowing in consuming they've been saving and investing you know the the renminbi is not a freely exchangeable currency and likewise in india they worry do what they have all the currency which is also block so it's very difficult to think about replacing or using other currencies now the chinese have been opening their currency pretty steadily for the past two or three years or five years actually but the renminbi cannot replace the dollar not with that as long as it's a blocked currency i happen to think that's a mistake the chinese are making i would open the currency this afternoon if i were china but i'm not china. now for any of the stories we're covering here on our team
