bailouts to save the indebted greece arsenal and arlette that some economists now theor his resignation or put the rescue of economies under question and even put the euro currency on the block. explains. no euro that's what because the whispering of the police charged. with the attempted rape of a hotel maid very differently the possibility that some countries could decide to leave the euro pushed out of the euro and then when you got to understand that. belief that the euro could and should be saved in the face of norsk the resistance from richer states still scorned led this week's bailout of crippled portugal germany and france insist on oil and raises its low corporation tax t.s.k. as he's known was the man saving your regime calling me think these allegations are

going to be done again. of the i.m.f. as an institution and he is definitely going to be missed i think. strauss kahn even persuaded greece's leader to stick with strict spending cuts disappointing roylance on the streets but he has. some of the you had stated governments made it made a difference he has good contacts for example to the greek prime minister on thursday greece asked for more loans on better terms but now heavyweights europhile d s k has gone few back and not a bail out. greece should leave the euro zone that has put under strain the euro joiner is one of the imus top backers contributing tens of billions of euros the reward it wants is an asian chief is not likely to be friendly. he has

been very personally very important in getting the i.m.f. involved and assisting in designing these bailout packages but also coaxing and encouraging politicians to do the reforms necessary now you may not get the equivalent person with the same kind of convictions coming from the emerging markets when one of the world's biggest investment banks fell three years ago it triggered a global recession we're still reeling from today but it's still the driving the euro to extinction will only make matters worse the consequences probably would be higher and much harder to twist for instance as a bankruptcy of lehman in two thousand and eight with e.u. economies in death's door this city walls that toppling the world's leading banker comes at the worst possible time this is not just the end of a career domenic first call was instrumental in rescuing the eurozone as most troubled states is a risk does seem to threaten the end of the euro itself the new bush will see paris

. all the angles tracking developments in france so you can follow what he finds an r.t.s. twitter stream in these searches the majority of french people believe the former i.m.f. chief arrest was a subtle that's according to a poll also top of the story by following us our other scorecard. in. the strain is definitely showing us israeli relations after president obama called for a palestinian state with a nine hundred sixty seven borders in his middle east policy speech all that

comment has angered israel's prime minister who said it would make it impossible for his country to protect itself well back in september the issue of the israeli settlements and the disputed territories stalled peace talks with the palestinians and later on friday benefits of yahoo would need president obama at the white house parties going into has more from our washington bureau. this thursday obama said something that many israelis would find unacceptable is suggested israel go back to its pre nine hundred sixty seven borders and according to president obama that could be the starting point to then negotiate land swap with the palestinians to create a new borders going back to nine hundred sixty seven would mean giving up the west bank is drusilla when they gather strip the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu who will be meeting president obama later this afternoon sharply disagreed with the u.s. president and said he wanted to see washington's commitment to live decision by congress and president bush in two thousand and four that israel will. not have to

give up the occupied territories after the speech that obama gave yesterday it could be hard for him to feel such commitment at least partly by the way he's the first u.s. president who has explicitly supported the idea of going back to the nine hundred sixty seven borders as the key to the peace process in the middle east having said all this obama was nonetheless very very careful to say that the u.s. is slowly an advisor here that it is not going to force any decisions on israel because it is up to these really and palestinians to decide and so on and so forth so he basically cleared washington of any responsibility to act experts say washington's policy of nonintervention in the middle east peace process looks even more inconsistent considering america's willingness to intervene in other places in the region making demands to be leaders pushing them to feel those demands and occasionally bombing those who don't but when it comes to israelis and palestinians

there have been words before me words but never any action to really put it to state solution that president obama was talking about the fact that israel is the protectorate of the united states and that the israeli lobby is very powerful here a base that even harder who expect a balanced approach from washington. well in his speech obama also said colonel gadhafi has no control over libya or hours later nato hit eight libyan warships and occurred in a number of the country's ports the alliance says the vessels were trying to prevent prison livery of aid into libya and posed a threat to allied forces well libyan officials did now it's morocco barbless claims it's the libyan people who should decide the dolphins fate at all and also delivered an ultimatum to syria's president assad telling him to allow a power transition or get out right back or from the at your answer coalition says it looks like the american is pushing for regime change in syria the move you.

between those who want to overthrow the syrian government and those who are afraid that whatever comes next after the assad government were to fall would be these stabilized syria or perhaps an even more hostile syria so there's a debate within the administration but i think the logic of the opposition is united states personally sanctioned. the government the president and his closest advisors and offered him the option of either leaving the transition to democracy or being swept aside while it appears to be an alternative i think the organic tendency within the obama administration now is they carry out regime change in syria and i think those who favor regime change have gotten the upper hand within the administration. and so forget r t dot com is where to go for reports and videos of the world's biggest stories and here's what's there for you right now muslims

instrumental in their efforts to bring about the signing of that agreement and so it's. comfortable environment of these objectives and very important tools to be held. and coming up in a few minutes the tourist with a passion for the pool or. the beauty of antarctica is something that not many people will get the opportunity to see which is why it's one of the world's most exotic tourist destinations i'm john thomas in antarctica and coming up on r t why some people are willing to pay big bucks to make it down here. castles motherhood blows no bounds we'll find out why one cattle just loves one thing. that's on our shores. now the operator of japan's crisis had a focus nuclear plant has made a record loss of fifteen billion dollars it's the country's biggest ever corporate loss which forced the first director to quit well absolutely or campaigner philip

a major business but because of the antarctic treaty system an international agreement that limits exploitation of the continent don't expect to see any luxury hotels down here any time soon excursions are mainly limited to cruise ships and small charter flights from the tip of south america. are really coming down here to see something unique it's an ecosystem like no other. and also for the people who do come on these journeys i think they get spellbound because really it's it's a vision of the world before man had anything to do with it and passengers on board the national geographic explorer can truly get a one on one up close and personal experience with the scenery and wildlife of antarctica but keep in mind this is antarctica and people have to be aware that they are far away from civilization i mean our stop today here to maxwell date was not planned but we developed a medical emergency last night and now we appreciating the assistance of fiji lands here that have an airfield in here and then
