when you the euro was created left in europe was there much against it because you had a strong economy used a strong currency the dean martin germany forming a monetary union with weaker economies and that is a recipe for trouble. and for more on the european bailout you can log on to our team there you can also tell us what you think the eurozone should do and of your screen right now we've asked if germany should continue giving out cash to a failing economy is so far most of you believe it should close its conference since it's you know the country's best interest to break free from the faltering if you haven't yet you still have a chance to share your opinion just head over to r.t. dot com. now spain is another european country on the financial brink as its fruit and vegetable exports have been wiped out that's after germany wrongly blamed a spanish cucumbers for the deadly e. coli outbreak which is now what you have to have originated on a farm in germany itself financial analyst adrian she believes the initial
9:11 am
allocations could be part of a plan to drive a wedge between euro zone members when something goes wrong when it is only human nature to try and put the blame on somebody else and germany did that very powerfully accusing poor innocent spanish cucumbers of being the cause of the coli outbreak now nevertheless i think that there's probably a more subtle german to be highly all of these that is closely related to the fact that there are increasing centrifugal forces within the european union that already made a lot of people's talk about fractures powerful break up some just previous notice that if greece doesn't find its way around it's cool it's financial crisis they're not in well put a lot of european monetary mechanism the euro very often one could even imagine the german leader many germans or many powerful people in germany are probably wondering why be able got themselves into europe to begin with so i think that it's
9:12 am
not it's it's rather good to just jump to the first obvious conclusion of a piece of news or wheel of papers we must try and find other layers of truth and reasoning that might like it. you are with r.t. live from moscow it's twelve minutes exactly past the hour coming your way shortly disorder fear of renewed clashes after israeli troops opened fire on profoundest in protesters as israel blames syria for trying to divert attention from its own internal crisis. and the mission towards the final frontier as the new i assess crew is set for an out of this world journey. two years left before blastoff here the viking will cause more drought will bring you details on the final preparations. now in georgia anxious relatives looking for missing loved ones nearly two weeks now since a brutal crackdown on protesters in the capital tbilisi many opposition supporters detained by police some even before the demonstrations haven't been seen since so
9:13 am
far some of the cuts performers when the riots were dispersed in the dirt in kabul philip they believe think it sent shock waves around the international community present like a fairly speaks of bringing a western style democracy to georgia but the things they were witness through the years i've experienced both by have police operation against largely peaceful protests the even more disturbing we've been finding out that in the aftermath they've been tales of aggression behind the bars of people going missing who think their concerns among their friends and their relatives. who is a member of the opposition great he was arrested as part of the crackdown a lot has issued in three days that fooled the protest take place she hasn't seen or heard from him since and has no idea where he is now. i was still he was in one police station so i went there but they said he had been moved to a police station in another region and i went to that one they said he wasn't there
9:14 am
either so now he's missing i don't know why and she's not the only one with questions in the days leading up to the pretest during and after many people have been. arrested and finding all these people is proving extremely difficult in some cases we hope problems because these people are moved from my potential center to another without providing us information on where these people are so we have to. use it all the detention places and find this people which is absolutely. almost impossible for us in consistencies in official information and even more troubling when it comes to some of the deaths surrounding the protests these are the demonstration iquique for in drugs these body was found on a roof near the protest area was last seen photographed amongst those being detained the circumstances of his remain extremely unclear there are lots of
9:15 am
questions about this bodies because there were receiving a lot of information from inside where people wearing just leaving leaves it to the people are demonstrates is there some people who have been beaten so terribly. when cases of us with official information trading inconsistent and chaotic attempts to establish exactly what happened to those he dies and to those still missing extremely hard and later the police in ministry in korea they didn't give us this point where these people were sold a different kind of information who was detained where that person was and so it was a huge mess then you are going i think are now working on establishing just what has been happening recently in georgia the images of violence from the protest will stick in people's minds for a long while to come but this was a struggle that started long before that night's look set to continue for some time after sarah r.t.

9:17 am
israel is the only country in the world that is a member of the united nations that does not have a constitution and did not declare the now its borders because israel continues to expand and continues to annex out of people's land and in the process is they have created this long. piece in which has become now a system of segregation and. the rust in human history israel is the oppressor. apartheid system in south africa. would not continue because the people of south africa decided to struggle against it and. that i know of the south african to be from the united states was the last time and this will be the case here in palestine the fact that the israeli lobby is very powerful in the united states would not stop us from demanding freedom our independence i want a democracy and the world has to accept palestinians as equal human beings to the
