wealthy british soil it's time to. market. scandal. one what's really happening to the global economy is a report on. the week's top stories on our t.v. greece is engulfed in fraudulent protests as the prime minister reshuffles the cabinet in a bid to push through a fresh austerity package to secure you. in the middle of the night. london here. strikes reportedly one of tripoli's residential areas destroying a house and killing at least seven. states role in russia's economy must be reduced president speaks out the international economic forum in st petersburg

committing himself to the organization of writing corruption. from moscow you're watching artie's we welcome to the program a man who has taken on the poison chalice reeses new finance minister has admitted he faces a real war he's biggest challenge is convincing angry greeks to face more austerity cuts to secure a new bailout from europe the point mintz was part of a cabinet reshuffle and he is offering fierce resistance on the streets of the capital. was caught up in the middle of a violent protests. in the. building. alongside claire it was great to have.

people have one thing that actually was going on at the moment the place trying to find the problem violence still breaking out not to be not so i love the people on the street to see nice people but the gas masks on they really don't want anyone to film that they think that the people who are behind the provoking of. people still moving back into the central state even though you can have a trick i still think that's off by the place they turned out to protest to get a place to start their i guess about the economic situation has been happening in that country and they wouldn't. be able. to. pick up the community thing the tensions between the people cranking the crowd the police are getting ready to retaliate stay.

with the situation that's necessary say the toughest police and the police and fire . them managing by the looks of things the pushback the police actually of the side to stare itself there's a lot of the protesters who are throwing things wearing gas masks and the stakes are some of the main organized in the teams who would like phrases today they said that they wanted it's a peaceful end to the educated so any of these measures will cause see the police to letting up take us into the crowd that incredibly hard to prevail in the face not to plan for anyone there's lots of people getting medical treatment around the place. but the violence is really a rope thing and we're not entirely sure if these people wearing a gas mask the provoking the plates are actually part of the phrase that as he said the people we spoke to said they wanted it to be castell and it has been up until now up until it's day when that provocation happened when the play started tried to stand by. the british the natural for us says the reason to turn into

a bailout for greece in the euro zone is to protect the banks. one of the reasons that everybody is so determined to keep greece in the euro is so that the banks don't have to take a serious hit all their fault remembering policies so there's something has gone seriously wrong with the banking system it's almost as if the other are the holy alliance of politicians and bankers but it will be people i'm sure that's what the people on the streets of athens today feel like don't think the banking crisis is over i suspect but it's hardly begun i mean many cases it might have been better to do what i say and say look these banks go bust these people lose their jobs these people lose their money but time for to learn about life and i suspect we're going to regret keeping the bags of float and imprisoning countries like greece inside a currency union which they're just not suited. for while greeks express their anger at facing further cuts germans are no less serious about having to pay for it

again later this hour german m.p. klaus meet a welshman explains why he thinks the country should look after themselves. he. was regulated that there must be any bailout because otherwise you will ruin the public here finances of those countries are contributing to it as long as each country is responsible for its budget has to take full responsibility the only right answer to that is no bailout. at least seven civilians in libya have reportedly been killed by a nato airstrike which hit a residential house overnight and their diets confirmed it had mistakenly attacked rebel forces the number killed in that friendly fire attack was not wearing their

financial reports from the capital tripoli. residents of citizenry districts here in st louis have been woken up by a strike in the middle of the night and possible moms london hear this story as you can see behind me several three story buildings as we were told at least four families have been living in the damaged houses which is from twelve to fourteen people some of the people are still missing as you can see behind me the rescue operation is now undergoing but people here on the ground are saying that there is little hope that someone could be alive the buildings on the opposite side of this street have also been partially damaged but we were told that no one from there has been hurt the government's first person look at him aside from him has come to the scene photos this happened and he has this civilian area had been hit by may take pride they were down by rockets on the sky people were killed children and with my own hands with my own eyes i still am helping out there as he would kill and

getting the boys the father on the mother to hold back and that is banished because you cannot justify does the target. this is the truth of this incident consummates continuing intense bombardment all believe it by in a time bombs are actually being dropped day and night we all the time hearing sounds of having explosions russia which has always been against mistry means to stifle the protests of even conflict has recently signed a peace treaty a chance to leave it to try to displace the war in size to start talking after missing the rebels in benghazi and productive people here in tripoli making money off our side he believes the release for peaceful solution of this crisis with both sides saying they're ready for negotiations with the knees are now ready to provide

an appropriate location for tolls. but what we're seeing on the wrong we're made to continue in one god one stands people feeling exhausted and angry it was made it very clear we can say for sure compromise could be possible but this is the i think a very long way to go it's men have some of the largest oil reserves on the planet but these days labor is also god some of the longest queues at his pastoral stations the international sanctions imposed on the battled colonel's regime the not include a few and. at major is targeting tank a law as if this part of the fuel might be used by gadhafi is military forces with roads closed factories at a stop and foreign workers long since gone from the war stricken country is facing its worst energy crisis ever with the new realities ordinarily being drivers now spend vast amounts of time queuing for a few months ago this became

a common theme in the. country people have been lining up to fill up their cars even days but this line is a little different compared to the gas station at the end of life here is for him and only him barker is a universe to students and has volunteered here to help organize the process she stamps a few russian boots which allow individuals thirty five liters a week she believes it's a great idea to have women on the stations. all asian impulsion women have too many things to do they don't try to show the world queuing and never should change of the year is now in the year so we're able to serve up to nine hundred cars a total of the look of. this line is longer the others are even longer petrels still cheaper than the water here just a few cents for a liter it's just that is often in short supply. if there is no fuel we have to

leave our cars and return reentry you piers. could be days. women only gas stations is one of many innovations supposed to ease people's lives in a country in cares there are also special powers for ambulances and police cars. on the bottom of the needle surrounded us but we should move on we try to do our best to help people get by if we give up will die obviously a lot of those seeking to oust colonel gadhafi may have been hoping the hardships will incite people to rise up against their leader but instead it only seems to be fueling people's hatred towards what they feel is western imperialism and need to nato damaged our city destroyed our life they told us they want to save people is that the way to save the people tell me this is just a crime. while the warring sides try to find their way out of months of devastating conflict ordinary people are looking for

a way to just leave the everyday lives dreaming about times when they start there would be with a distant memory. grief notion artsy tripoli. of u.s. involvement in the beer reaches its ninety day deadline on sunday and a group of congressmen this suing president obama for resorting to military action without official approval but the voice of russia radio host congress or such and it says he doesn't believe congress will pull the plug on the strikes. the problem is that when there was a prior lawsuit during clinton's our foray into the former yugoslavia dennis consideration of a group of other congressmen even a bad time filed a very similar lawsuit saying that it was illegal and it went to a district court for the district court said end of the individual congressmen did not have any sort of standing the reality is i could still a majority of congressmen are you know going to support the the actions in libya and afghanistan and so on congress is not going to you know in mass come and say

that we shouldn't be doing this and try to defund it and besides obama is currently using discretionary department to fund discretionary funds to get around it anyway so it's a question of how effective would be it works to their benefit we do live in a military industrial complex type of world where they have they have the purse strings they have the power. the revolution in egypt first seemed more successful in a pinch a stalemate in libya but since hosni mubarak fell in february around seven thousand people have been jailed by egypt's military rulers activist david keane's says the revolution to install democracy herself changed very little. some have been jailed simply for criticizing the government others have been brought up on spurious charges of quote unquote insulting the military but increasingly and certainly given the incredible high number of detentions detentions of civilians not pensions of people who have you know tried to undermine the regime of people simply

criticizing the military this is a very dangerous trend egyptian dissidents and bloggers who were imprisoned in military prisons and they describe incredible torture they describe electrocution they described waterboarding to describe the regular beatings and this was the egyptian military that stood behind mubarak until the last minute so while there have been gains and we hope that egypt has a brighter future ahead of it there are still many many challenges that it starts overcome if you chip is going to move towards democracy and liberalism and openness in the west in fact is a very important role to play. but without yesterday had this out cleaning up fukushima reactors what's its decontaminate. this is the dangers posed by radiation leaks. plus the u.s. is accused of using political pressure extradite jailed russian this is. all these

are just. the state should have less of an influence in russia's economy and part of president bush an. international economic performance and petersburg this week he joined business leaders and politicians discuss ways world should be developing their economies. modernization based on stifling corruption teeth rationalizing power and government reforms all goals voiced by president mediated at this year's international economic forum here is think petersburg where how russia is going to attempt to become one of the world's biggest and most active economies was laid out. we shouldn't hesitate to say goodbye to many bad habits we can focus only on a step by step development it's a mistake we should focus on the following improving the investment climate in russia to create new jobs in the regions making progress in the fight against corruption the creation of

a modern police service and over security forces improving the effectiveness of the justice system and finally the modernization of government applying modern approaches and the decentralizing of power of course the main bad habit as the president calls it is corruption which he says is choking russia's economy this was his message to the country's official that don't do business according to the. the noose around the neck of those who practice corruption should be tightened and the whole of russia agrees with this without any exception but corruption is very difficult to deal with the government should be purged of corruption in a more decisive way and for that purpose we should enhanced the way those suspected of corruption are dismissed from public service another issue that's process economic development is it not being a member of the world trade organization maybe we're hearing from a lot of officials that expression to the w t o for russia is possible by the end of this year the president agrees but says only under very specific circumstances.

we have long been ready to join the w t o more than many other countries small or large everyone is perfectly aware of that still we are asked to make an unseemly large number of concessions this kind of approach is unacceptable russia will not agree to any evidently unfavorable solutions and of course presumably the one question on all of the minds of the business executives you need innovators and world leaders will president medvedev run for reelection well if they have this question of before and this is what medvedev had to say yes sure when i consider it appropriate to tell you whether i will do it or not i will come out and say it this forum is not the best place for that one thing you can be sure of is that i will be able to avoid making a statement i will have to tell the people of russia and anyone else who's interested about my decision was that you will not have to wait much longer. every

story requires some kind of intrigue the boys will be no interest in living with you so let's keep the intrigue a bit longer. and certainly no intrigue surrounding what platform and what to run on if it doesn't out he's running for reelection it will be all about modernization reporting from st petersburg anything now a party. and among those attending the forum as the chinese leader in town he said the world economy is still recovering slowly reform of the global financial system is needed and tell at this stage where regional energy deal with russia was on the table the thirty year supply contract wasn't signed however as the price of russian gas has yet to be agreed but the two leaders did put pen to paper a number of other nutritive deals or discussing the wider world they agreed that the countries involved in the libyan conflict must stick to the un resolution. based political scientist and. that russia and china collaboration would have

global benefits. china russia trade an economic relationship the huge development between two nations i believe is not only of impacting the european continent but also on the global scene i believe the wall these are the crossroads historic crossroads or some may say the wallace at the brink of either being sucked you all are all coming to us nato military intervention in libya now moving into possibly syria or even to iran if russia or china or these air sea all the lions we saw that not enough to stop the u.s. led nato military aggression in the north african region so i hope saw the best see all russia trying out china russia leaving leading this new global movement

to balance the power in the wall so that they can build a new world order where no more unilateral row aggressive or you can clone your own methodology being put into a sovereign nation such as libya. like ours look at how the emerging powers could reshape the financial landscape you can check out our website business section expert opinion and the latest updates to the perspective of what's going on in that. just log on to the office. the presidents of russia and iran that are high cooperation organization summit this week discussed iran's nuclear program and tehran's envoy once again told r.t. and its atomic games are peaceful though allegations prove the opposite of groundless. many allegations was raised by united states and i have proved their

investigation taking samples and early to go process that all these allegations are baseless in bike before coming to vienna i was in charge of escorting all the spectre's and i was with them in this politicize it which would prove that this allegation had no basis is every one portrayed after eight years they are repeating these boring stories one thing is clear we do not have any program for nuclear we are fully cooperating with. the most robust especially in the history of the world five thousand mandy's gay have found no evidence of divergence of nuclear material to agree with their purposes and the statement claimed by lady with due respect i categorically reject. ron's enthusiasm for a nuclear program doesn't seem to affected by events in japan they're the operator

of the crippled fukushima plant says it may take several days before the system to decontaminate reactor water can be restarted operations being hampered by high radiation levels which are now far beyond safety limits it's clear the contaminated water overflowed with weak solutions and found. that comes international atomic energy agency reports criticize the government's slow response to the nuclear disaster caused by the quake and tsunami and james corbet editor of dependent news website says the risk to people's health remains real. any new leaks of any kind are going to be an incredible burden on the efforts that are already underway to try to clean out of the water or be contaminated because they are now running out of space to actually store the contaminated water in the fukushima in the immediate vicinity of the plant and i believe within two weeks they're actually going to run out of space so they're trying to get

a system online for treating the water but apparently the test for that is going to be pushed back another few days it's already been pushed back from last friday so there is no such thing as a safe level of radiation exposure that any level of radiation exposure increases the risk of cancer and however negligible that risk may be with any particular person on any particular day in any particular spot when it's averaged out over a large population like it's living in the region unfortunately means there will be over time increase in in cancer rates there and it's really just a question of how many. from man made disasters to natural once they start to expose the unpredictable risks of avalanches travellin junkies and pricing the danger. stream cascade from our. view is mesmerizing.

brings death at a speed of more than two hundred kilometers. an hour. now this week new york judge questioned the validity of evidence against him to boot the russian man america accuses of being an international gun runner since his controversial extradition from thailand has consistently said he has little chance of a fair trial. on the story. he is the russian citizen america fought relentlessly to adopt it there but was secretly and swiftly extradited to the u.s. seven months ago and this may be where he stays indefinitely if found guilty on arms smuggling and terrorism related charges if you use could be. he's looking at life there's no parole there's no early release on the federal system really the only way in the federal system to get a reduction in your symptoms. a significant reduction is if you cooperate with the

united states government some have argued. beyond captain america's team however how to down there is being accused of playing dirty and illegally to remove the air cargo business man from thailand according to documents released by wiki leaks all levels of washington top to bottom mounted political pressure against bangkok to gain custody of boot in a us cable dated august thirteenth two thousand and nine us president barack obama was urged to call thailand's prime minister directly about boot the u.s. attorney general and state department were encouraged to call the thai ambassador highlighting the massive drug enforcement administration commitment to thailand and the us ambassador in bangkok urged that high government to issue a public statement of disappointment at the judge's ruling not to extradite boot so america is the world's most powerful nation but if not more powerful than the world

unfortunately the way things stand right now they're willing to flaunt every international law to get what they want and that means doing all these illegal things in the case of the extradite him or i should say kidnapping who was arrested in bangkok in march two thousand and eight during a u.s. sting operation he was charged with conspiring to sell weapons to colombian fark rebels i'm sure occasions that high court rejected america's extradition request when an entourage of armed u.s. agents removed him from thailand following a decision of the thai government his extradition was still not legally approved the covert operation was kept secret from russia but it's family and his attorney who we called paid to transfer to america it was a violation of a very important thai american treaty signed in one nine hundred ninety s. which the defenders cannot be extradited the case was not finalized and was moved to the us america used various means political. another's outside the boundaries of

long been moved from the sphere of lots of politics i think or rather i would love to think that the american court is unbiased but i have strong doubts about it because i think such pressure could be put on anyone including the jury. the country accusing viktor bit of arms dealing now finds itself accused of political arm twisting come october an american jury will decide picked a future wanted a political pressure at surfside by the u.s. army evidently the or her in a fortnight artsy new york. recap of the stories that shape the way kids are coming your way in just a few words. through
