the. above the latest news of the week's top stories on our t.v. the soaring unemployment and the stare the measures spark at least a lot of protests in spain but the country rumored to be next in line for a bailout to save the elite euro. the legal process against the now former head of the international monetary fund that puts even more stress on the e.u. which relied heavily on support from the meek straus car. tear gas and rubber bullets are the reply from the georgian authorities the thousands of the demonstrators calling for president mubarak in such beauty to step down. plus the russian president years away from confirming a real action visit in two thousand and twelve during our president a q.

and a session with hundreds of journalists. who are watching r t coming to you live from moscow thanks for joining us how angry anti-government demonstrations are sweeping spain after the authorities lost the battle to impose a ban on public protests while the country is voting in regional elections today with the ruling socialists expected to suffer a major losses or tens of thousands of people have occupied the subsoil for those souls square in madrid with many camping out overnight and similar protests have sprung up in other cities as the country struggles to overcome the recession and deal with record high unemployment this orgy sarraf earth reports with its crumbling economy spain it could be next in line for e.u. rescue bailout. first greece then ireland and now

portugal as the euro things bailouts go the number there are now serious concerns that spain could be the next to topple compay testers throughout europe clamoring to oppose even more taxpayers' money being plowed into rescuing others. that if i had done that on this very. thing again. that is the government getting i don't think the five right but it. was forty three percent of under twenty five that is why i didn't like the labor market and there's no side of the thing i think is going to be right this is only. the moment we will is where we will be millions and if the year is a problems weren't enough there is now talk of greece defaulting on its loans even

potentially exiting the euro together and portugal's recent bailout is reported to be worth around seventy eight billion euro but spain has the euro zone's fall for largest economy the different challenge altogether if it fails. if the situation happened the markets would not manage it buying out of spain's debt is the most catastrophic scenario for the e.u. what will the e.u. do i think and many experts share my opinion that the e.u. will do the utmost to avoid the scenario and at any cost because spain is too big to fail. then you've got to. the big question now is just how much longer can the usa continue bankrolling going bust as the spiraling debt crisis continues to escalate there is a ministers are struggling to maintain a united front. for financial survival for such countries or spain would seriously. it could lead to the use of two currency zones in europe

a strong group of countries using the euro and the rest not using it. thinking to break down speculation. and see. how this problem is going to. ireland and portugal possibly. having to do a thing like it's a. very real and right yeah ok and i do. think. the. e.u. politicians may have been blackmailed by the financial community into giving bailouts to save the banks from collapsing that's according to economic analyst michael. we are living in a so-called capitalism but this is ridiculous because the capitalism doesn't work anymore everything everywhere every country is being bailed out so we have

something like a bank socialism because. i doubt it there is no other choice if we let go greece bankrupt or portugal bankrupt and in a capitalistic system this is normally a normal procedure then the banks sports and the banks will go bankrupt and as a matter of fact here in germany and not only in germany especially also in france the vents are full of fear and some people already say that maybe the politicians have been blackmailed by the financial community in order to give the money of the taxpayer to make the banks survive. and still to come here on r t targeting at the top man find out why these georgian see the border stop demonstrating until their president steps down. the world's eyes are on iceland's most active volcano that's hurling some smoke into the sky for seven years of silence.

now the former head of the international monetary fund has been had been released on bail but placed under house arrest in new york the next hour scum was detained just as he was preparing for a meeting on the plight of greece and portugal as economies and authorities daniel bushell reports his arrest has thrown the talks of resolving the european debt crisis into disarray. called no euro that's what bankers a whispering off the police charged. with course 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 there we've got to understand. belief that the euro could and should be saved in the face of north steel resistance from richer states stross can lift this week's bailout of crippled portugal germany and france insist on oil and raises its lower corporation tax t.s.k.

as he's known was the man or doing it's what is saving the irish economy allegations are going to. of the i.m.f. as an institution. is definitely going to be missed. stross call even persuaded greece's leader to stick with strict spending cuts despite royals on the streets but he. says some of the new heads of state governments made a difference he has good contacts for example to the greek prime minister so on thursday greece asked for more loans on better terms but now heavyweights europhile d s k has gone few back another bailout. should leave the euro zone that has put under strain the euro joiner is one of the i.m.f. top backers contributing tens of billions of euro the reward it wants is an asian

chief who's not likely to be as europe friendly strolls can he have 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 behind a person with the same kind of convictions coming from the emerging markets. when one of the world's biggest investment banks fill 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 in national year that was for instance as a bankruptcy of lehman in two thousand and eight with e.u. economies at death's door is a teen warns 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 the eurozone as most troubled

states there's a risk disinterest britain the end of the euro itself a new bushel r.t. paris as sectarian violence has been keeping the egyptian capital on edge ever since the popular uprising toppled hosni mubarak's regime are questions have been targeted in several attacks by muslim radicals but doesn't step on the number of churches and that's artie's media financial has been finding out many egyptians are disappointed with the change at tahrir square revolution has brought so far. president mubarak is gone but there is little satisfaction in dictator free egypt. seriously five and the fear of square through a common enemy barracks resignation so egyptian muslims and christians turn on each other. but we won't discuss this we want equal rights because in institutions in business and police and army and police it was for centuries the

coptic christian minority has felt discriminated in a country dominated by eighteen million muslims the revolutionary euphoria has brought a desire for change. people have tasted freedom and they like it now we are kind of fed up of the situation. tensions in the past month have left dozens killed scores injured and several churches burned this muslim woman and her entire family had been welcome in liberation until her twenty four year old son was killed in the street by a greek throw your insectarium clashes in baghdad and northern flashpoint as the years of simmering religious tension boil over plus how when america was a dictator maybe he was corrupt but at least we have been able to sleep and our children were alive we never saw the before we couldn't have even imagine something like this happening yes from this point of view i miss the old regime i mean the

others glorified it jane you're a revolution among them the muslim brotherhood member and the mubarak today it's the country's only well organized political group with a president gone they moved from jail cells to this luxury building in central cairo a revolution given them a long awaited voice that. radicals are triggering the transitions they saw how the revolution united people and they want to ruin their. i don't want to see egypt strong and independent but i'm sure it will disappear after the parliamentary elections this time for you and me in batteries chiros poorest district is home to millions of people surviving on just a couple of dollars a day probably in the pre-revolution egypt's immune system has been weakened to match the police economy is in critical condition this rule in the country when this happens the symptoms strike the most vulnerable first and the question now is

just how far the damage rights and what egypt can ever recover. restore shot see cairo. meanwhile in libya nato has reportedly hit the capital's main port at war market off his residence early on sunday tripoli officials claim but weeks of bombings have triggered a humanitarian crisis the government has accused international forces of violating the u.n. no fly zone resolution could exhibit this with cause after the war crimes court announced it was seeking to arrest the libyan leader but journalist james corbett says the case sets a dangerous precedent because prosecutors don't have any evidence of gadhafi scribes. that would be easy to dismiss the international criminal court's appeal for aid and arrest warrant for his crimes against humanity is that it's something of a farce especially considering that the international criminal court's prosecutor's

office there would be it's not a single member of that office actually bothered to step foot in libya to investigate these crimes against humanity with which he was charged but i think this is actually that's a very troubling precedent in the realm of international jurisprudence where we see the idea that for all intents and purposes nato geopolitical foreign policy can now be justified through juridical action meaning that the international criminal court simply by fiat decreed it and so the ludicrous nature of the entire operation is exposed and i'm asked for all to see and hear is a humanitarian intervention. that is now literally going to be blooming in an infrastructure for the libyan people on the basis of green intervention that's supposed to help the populace again it makes no sense on its face and once it's understood that this is simply an attempt at regime change and it is now being supposedly justified through this very troubling president of an international criminal court being able to dictate what happens if in the boundaries of a sovereign country so again i think we'll see this president used as a way of basically allowing needle countries don't need your head you want

interests to dictate their foreign policy through this court. now will he stand ovaltine well that's a question about next year's presidential election in russia that still remains unanswered and that's despite a two hour long press conference with dmitri medvedev that well the president spoke to journalists of his largest q what a session since taking office in two thousand and eight archy scott that he reports all the issues discussed. one hundred thirty seven minutes eight hundred journalists seventy two questions and one man to answer your. question president dmitry medvedev how this first major press conference on wednesday giving many a chance to voice their questions but while some were serious which is is there a chance to give to each of actions well deserved accommodations and sound more light hearted. i know that your wife is too parking lots and i have nowhere to park my own car so maybe i could borrow one he's the biggest washing machine but. it was

the question of a possible second turn that everyone including the president expected the most senior i gave those with the decision over the presidential race is not made in this kind of format it should be made when the situation is right it will have a greater political impact and i will follow this principle of service i want to make a statement i will make it like a fishing industry of whether current president reagan for former president clinton will run for office in twenty twelve has become moscow's most debated topic according to me david if the two men share a lot of views but also have their differences that's your question yes my aim my relationship with my colleague and political partner got to me a putin is not just something the people call a tandem but it actually we've been working together for over twenty years and we know each other well we think alike and all views on key issues in our country's

development are very close but this doesn't mean we always think the same way we have different views on modernization and i think this process but could be much faster because it was having side step they were intriguing topic i mean it it still took time to focus on major domestic and international issues and archie's question about syria competent to make a very strong statement but it's not a super serious yet i will not support reza. lucian's on syria frankly speaking they were disregarded by the actions that some states took even though initially russia supported the first resolution and didn't veto the second what happened afterwards demonstrated that these kinds of resolutions can be manipulated this is deplorable because it undermines the all thirty of the u.n. is it premature as according to some a growing unease with decisions made concerning the middle east mr medvedev appeared somewhat to regret russia's support of the resolution on libya was quite

strong in saying that. the actions are currently going beyond what he thought he was voting for. so i think internationally people take note of that because it will signify russia's increasing uneasiness think about what's going on in libya and more broadly in the middle east but i didn't detect a sense from mr medvedev that the security council wasn't the proper forum in which these things should be discussed with a lot of regional journalists present many questions focused on domestic matters but one subject of great interest in egypt both in russia and abroad is the imprisonment of former oil tycoon political secret of course he is released who he'd be a danger to society that was assured that it was true and the own so with absolutely sure that no absolutely not the president you saw other times likely to influence connecticut's sentence i don't think it means he's going to be released and after all it's not the president who put him in jail and i don't think it will be

politically easy for material to. parole keep although he has such heir possibility according to war but you know these sort of things happens very rarely in any country in court in russia so i think basically what mediator wanted to say is that he doesn't dispute the decisions of the court but he doesn't consider this person a danger. as the press conference came to a close reporters it's. after nearly two and a half hours meeting with a bit of bade the press farewell and headed back to the kremlin but the question that remains unanswered is will the stay there after trying to. catch her as our moscow. well archie caught up with dmitri medvedev press secretary straight after the conference i thought at the mark over explain why the president is taking his time to answer the question on everyone's lips well we'll have that interview for you later in the program. now the british military operation in iraq is

ending after more than eight years the last group of royal navy training staff are pulling out on sunday the u.k. a joint the us invasion of iraq in two thousand and three under the pretext of destroying saddam hussein's weapons of mass destruction but it turned out he never had any the war fell out of favor with the british public even more so with the death of one hundred seventy nine soldiers during the conflict well most of the u.k.'s military forces withdrew two years ago i express a bill to make iraq a safer place with terror attacks happening there on a regular basis british people forever says the war is a blight on british history. but we see. one rotten government with another government a little question. of moms the world is a better place without you but the replacement. is in all kinds of trouble at the

moment the whole of the country is falling into another. corruption abuse and he's trying to be difficult to control the system. that was along with. the inquiry has been recalled to yeah it is the school building he calls. british parliament. over two hundred m.p.'s voted against which is we very rarely go to war without the full monty of concern to the british people and in this case they were great reservations that we were committing. to a battle to see their lives destroyed in the service of a foreign country it was bush's war britain needn't have had a party leader i told you the final tally over eight hundred seventy nine daid without any great achievement is one mark one of the woods moments in our history.

to georgia now where riot police have used tear gas and rubber bullets to disperse saudi government demonstrators hundreds of opposition members have gathered for a second day of protests in the capital tbilisi while many more are said to be on their way to join of the rally opposition leaders say hundreds of people have been arrested by the authorities on saturday thousands marched through tbilisi calling for me i was saakashvili to step down immediately demonstrators claim they've been robbed of their freedoms as a second release process up talk that's the whole region at risk according to opposition groups thirty people were injured and several detained as police raided one of their offices in the middle of the night opposition leader an e-mail bridge and that's a says government a clapped out has a title for people to act in self-defense. government is acting like. females they created only demonstration which had been sanctioned by the government

itself so we're due diligence lation we're not doing any seemed illegal no it was absolutely peaceful and it was the shit because you weren't. the begin little you should be used illegal wars against peaceful demonstrates so we have a right to protect ourselves we go right to protect all of their use we have rights to protect there were members and we have rights to leave inaudible democratic country. and a look there was some other news making headlines around the world thirteen people have been killed and dozens injured in a series of bombings across baghdad officials say at least eight explosions took place during the sunday morning rush hour the blasts went off of the neighborhoods of sutter's city of the east and by yard in the west although once yet claimed the responsibility for the attacks. syrian security forces have shot dead at least

eleven people during a mass funeral for anti-government protesters killed earlier in the week some analysts believe the brutal crackdown is leading to political paralysis and a stalemate between president assad's regime everts opponents or most of the international media has been the ground from the country since the uprising began about two months ago making it impossible to independently verify accounts perhaps of this government officials. suicide attackers have stormed a government building in afghanistan east of the capital kabul police say there are at least three men armed with machine guns holed up in the traffic police headquarters at least three people are reported to have been killed our forces have surrounded the building but are not launching a full assault for fear of death tonight in the attack or suicide vests on saturday a suicide bomber. killed six people and the twenty six at a military hospital in kabul. now iceland's impose

a flight bound and closed its main airport after the country's most active volcano erupted well it had been dormant for about seven years a large plume of smoke and ashes stretching twenty kilometers into the air however experts say it's unlikely to cause the kind of widespread destruction witnessed throughout europe last year when another of the country's volcanoes top. i'm sure pat is facing accusations it's holding back the true extent of the damage at the fukushima nuclear plant following march's quake and tsunami it comes after it was revealed that fuel rods in the worst hit reactor have totally melted radiation ric's risk expert professor christopher busby told r.t. the harm caused by the nuclear disaster is yet to be established. means that the fuel inside the reactor has got so faults that it's most and there's a sort of raging radioactive inferno taking place inside the reactor we believe actually probably outside the reactor not because the reactor pressure vessel is

certainly breached and inside so you may recall i was right from the beginning there were some indications that this was the case actually that although they've admitted this now the real situation is in fact for worse because there have been nuclear explosions we now know so we do know that it's very very radioactive particles are not appearing in the united states and certainly is a lot of radioactivity appearing as far south as tokyo there's a very serious not a lot of feeling is that never really miscalculated anything it was just trying to cover everything up from the very beginning and the problem is that enough people are measuring things with them no longer to be able to sustain the idea that there's nothing happening which that which they presented from the beginning and i think yes of course it's time for the japanese government to take control but having said that it's very hard to know how you could take control of the situation the situation is essentially out of control. i'll check out our website that's r t v dot com for more stories from the bottom of the earth to the stars of
