a e.u. rescue package. that's greece then. and now portugal as the u.a.e. things bailouts go a number there are now serious concern. that spain could be the next to topple protesters throughout europe clamoring to oppose even more taxpayers' money being plowed into rescuing others. was that i. think. that this was. i don't know if i break that it. was forty three hundred twenty five that is why i didn't like the whole labor market was decided was that i think that this is going to be right this is. where the women will this is where we will be millions and the year is same

problems weren't enough there is now talk of greece defaulting on its loans even potentially accepting the year together and portugal's recent bailout is reported to be worth around seventy eight billion year spain is the euro zone's fourth largest economy the a 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 a scenario would any cost because spain is too big to fail. then you've got a. big question now is just how much longer can the usa continue bankrolling there is going bust as aspiring tech crisis continues to escalate there is a ministers are struggling to maintain a united front. for financial survival for such countries

a spain would seriously going to the euro 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. the play down speculation next. her hand out problems continue. and not. possibly. do you think that remains a real threat and right now. the reality. is so far. the good friends well the future of euro zone bailouts could have been compromised by the arrest of the international monetary fund's chief on charges of sexual assault well done an extra has since resigned and is now awaiting trial after being released on bail and placed under house arrest in new york well as archy's daniel bushell reports without

equivalent behind a person with the same kind of convictions coming from the emerging markets when one of the. biggest investment banks filled three years ago it triggered a global recession we're still reeling from today but it's filled with driving the euro to extinction will only make matters worse the consequences probably would be higher and much more you know that was for instance as the bankruptcy of lehman in two thousand and eight with e.u. economies that this is a team that toppling the world's leading banker comes at the worst possible time this is not just the end of a career dominique strauss kahn was instrumental in rescuing the euro zone's most troubled states is a risk to seem to threaten the end of the euro itself then you will see paris and so ahead for you in the program a revolution on the rest was in the box regime may be gone but are egyptians really rejoicing in life with revolution. and be

has entitled the people to act in self defense government is acting like a like a. female's. they tricked down the demonstration which had been sanctioned by the government itself so we're recording the legislation we're not doing anything illegal so it was absolutely peaceful money for station to push woodlands see began devolution the use illegal force against peaceful demonstrators so we have a right to protect ourselves we have a right to protect our they lose we have rights to protect our members and we have rights to leave inaudible democratically country. the british military operation in iraq has ended after more than eight years with the last group of royal navy training staff now having pulled out of the u.k. joined the us invasion of iraq in two thousand and three under the pretext of destroying saddam hussein's weapons of mass destruction but aware of w m d's were

never found a warfare lot of favor with the british public and even more so with the death of one hundred seventy nine soldiers during the conflict most of the u.k.'s in the literary forces withdrew two years ago as some experts say they fail to make iraq a safer place where terror attacks still happening there on a regular basis british people fred says war is a stain on british history. we were praised one government with another government question. was a monster and the world is a better place with. but the replacement. is in all kinds of trouble at the moment the whole of the country is falling into another. corruption. and he's found it very difficult to control the system. that was

a long way indeed into the inquiry has been recalled. is the scoreboard recalls. was decidedly. british problem and there were over two hundred m.p.'s according to gainst which is we very rarely go to war without the full consent of the british people and in this case they were great reservation that we were committing. is 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 need a tall but a final tally of ages one hundred seventy nine day without any great achievements is well mark one of the woods moments in our history. will he stay or will he go that's what's many have been trying to as the regime medvedev as its one top presidential campaign in russia draws closer and the president's latest q.

and a session was a perfect opportunity to throw the question into the ring but he threw it straight back out again artie's got that he has the details. one hundred thirty seven minutes eight hundred journalists seventy two questions and one man to answer. russian president dmitry medvedev how this first major press conference on wednesday giving many a chance to voice their questions but while some are serious what would you say is there a chance to give to each of our veterans well deserved accommodations and sound more light hearted. i know that your wife is to parking lots and i'd not want to park my own car so maybe i could borrow one and used it in this washing machine but . it was the question of a possible second term that everyone including the president expected the most and he's showing here i do those ideals the decision over the presidential race is not made in this kind of format it should be made when the situation is right as well

have a greater political impact and i will follow this principle observe i want to make a statement i will make it a typical. the mystery of whether current president reader for former president putin will run for office in twenty twelve has become moscow's most evaded topic according to me david if the two men share a lot of views but also have their differences. yes my aim my relationship with my colleague and political partner put in is not just something that people call a tandem actually we have 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 very close but this doesn't mean we always in the same way we have different views on modernization i think this process but be much faster because it would calving sidestep the most intriguing topic related still took time to focus

on major domestic and international issues and archie's question about syria contra to me a very strong statement i suppose if i see it yes i will not support resolutions on syria frankly speaking they would 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 or thirty of the u.n. but it shows according to some a growing unease with decisions made concerning the middle east estimate that have appeared somewhat to regret russia's support of the resolution on libya was quite strong in saying that. the actions are they going beyond what he thought he was voting for. so i think internationally people take note of that because it all signify russia's increasing our knees i think about what's going on in libya and

more broadly in the list but i didn't detect a sense from mr medvedev that security council wasn't the proper forum in which these things should be discussed but a lot of regional journalist. present many questions focused on domestic matters but one subject of great interest to the media both in russia and abroad is the imprisonment of former oil tycoon who. is released who he did in such a society of course that was assured of question and the own some will be equally sure that no absolutely not the president's use over and likely to influence critical to the sentence i don't think is 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. appear also difficult although he has such a possibility according to war you know these sort of things happen smeary rarity in any country including russia so i think basically award mediator wanted to say

is that he doesn't dispute the decisions of the court but he doesn't consider this person at the angel is the press conference came too close reporters impeded its success after nearly two and a half hours with a meditative break the press farewell and headed back to the kremlin but the question that remains unanswered is will he stay there after twenty twelve catches our moscow. l r t caught up with dmitri medvedev press secretary straight after the conference at the other team a corporate explained why the president is taking his time to answer the question on everyone's lips while this interview is on air in just over an hour. now egypt's fragile interim leadership is being tested by sectarian violence keeping the country on edge says the popular uprising toppled hosni mubarak's regime christians have been targeted in several attacks by muslim radicals which churches

torched that doesn't skilled and as art is many of the national reports many egyptians are disillusioned with the change the revolution has brought so far. president mubarak is gone but there is little satisfaction indicate a free egypt. previously unified on fresh leaves square through a common enemy resignation so egyptian muslims and christians turn on each other. we want justice we want equal rights. in institutions in businesses believe in our again in politics. for centuries the coptic christian minority has found discriminated in a country dominated by eighty million muslims the revolutionary euphoria has brought a desire for change. people have to sit through them 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 his muslim woman and her entire family had been welcome in liberation and to her twenty four year old son was killed in the street by a greek thrown during sectarian clashes. and northern flashpoint as the use of syrian religious tension boil over. how we now mubarak was a dictator maybe he was corrupt with the police who 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 mean the old regime. and others glorified it january revolution. in london the muslim brotherhood went under mubarak today to the country's only well organized political group with the president gone they moved from jail cells in this luxury building in central cairo the revolution given them a long awaited voice and. radicals are triggering that around. the

revolution united people and they want to ruin that they don't want to see egypt strong and independent but i'm sure it will disappear after the parliamentary election because numbers. in batteries cairo's poorest districts is home to millions of people surviving on just a couple of doors a day following the fear revolution egypt's immune system has been a weekend dramatically economies in critical condition and his role in the country when this happens the symptoms strike the most vulnerable first and the question was just how far the damage was and whether egypt can ever recover. reflection of. cairo. now looking at what else is ahead for you this hour a test. the road where the cars that those that live the stars.

disabilities and an increased number of crimes committed by mentally disabled people to place cannibal it's a vivid illustration of what i am talking about shackled to police officers and appearing to cooperate with the authorities charged being looked can if he was led back to his flat he'll remain in custody until psychological tests determine whether he can stand trial peter all of a r.t. moscow. well check out more of the stars stories we're covering on air at r.t.e. dot com a regular updates and eye catching videos are always online for you and here's some of what you can capture online right now the u.s. state department is on the hunt for a former new york resident who went around car dealerships posing as a russian diplomat to get the best deals of luxury vehicles plus. param noted. that. there are. r t talks to danish director lars larson who became persona non grata after talking audiences after cannes film
