protests today they said that they wanted it to be peaceful until the end of kenya so any of these measures would cause see the police the letting of take us into the crowd that incredibly hard to grieve in the face not so pleasant for anyone there's lots of people getting medical treatment around the place. but the violence is really around saying we're not entirely sure if these people when the gas masks that are provoking the police actually part of the main prey said as he said the people we spoke to said they wanted it to be peaceful and it has been up until now up until earlier today when that provocation happened when the police started to try and push them back. so u.s. skeptic and british your m.p. nigel farage says the reason politicians are so keen to bail out greece and keep it in the eurozone 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. policy so that something has gone seriously the banking system is

almost as it were on the podium are all politicians and bankers but the people i'm sure the people on the streets of athens today feel don't think the banking crisis i suspect but it's hard to i did many. to do what i say and they say look these banks go bust these people lose their jobs these people lose the money that time for about life and i suspect we're going to regret keeping the banks afloat and imprisoning countries like greece inside a currency union which they're just not suited. while greeks express their anger at facing further cuts germans and the less furious about having to pay for it again. german m.p. klaus peter wilson explains why he thinks he countries should look after themselves . was regulated that there must be any bailout because otherwise you will ruin the public

finances of those countries who are contributing to it as long as each country is responsible for its budget has to take full responsibility and the only right answer to that is no bailout. at least seven civilians in libya have reportedly been killed by a nato air strike which hit a residential house overnight and earlier the alliance confirmed it had mistakenly attacked rebel forces but the number killed in that friendly fire attack is not there if a national reports from the capital tripoli. the residents of secrecy my district here in tripoli have been woken up by a strike in the middle of the night a mob of several moms landed here this story as you can see behind me several three story buildings as we were told at least full 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's 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 libyan government spokesperson looked at him aside to him has come to the since shortly after this happened and he has this civilian area had been seen by may take try they want to look at some of the sky people were killed children with my own hands with my own eyes i still am helping out little girls who would kill and get to the boys the father and the mother june hold them that is british and that this attack cannot justify is the target and ending up with the incident this incident consummates continue in intense bombardment of the rabbi 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 ministry means to stifle the protests and live in conflict has risen this and peace mediate to believe it to try to persuade the war in size to start talking often makes change the rebels in benghazi and pro productive people here in tripoli making money out has said that he believes there is higher for peaceful solution of this crisis with both sides saying they are ready for negotiations with the knees are now ready to provide an appropriate location for told. but what we're seeing on the wrong we're made to continue in mumbai moans and people feeling exhausted and angry if i was made to do here we can say for sure compromise could be possible but this is definitely a very long way to go it may 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 them battled colonels regime does not include a few and. that nato is targeting. if suspected the fuel might be used by gadhafi as 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 the new reality is ordinarily been drivers now spend vast amounts of time period for a few months ago this became a common theme here 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 the limit only barker is a university student 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 station as. the women have too many things to do they don't fight each other world cueing and never shoot into the year is men are in the so we're able to serve up to nine hundred cars below. this line is long but others are moving longer petrels to cheaper than the water here just a few cents for a litter it's just that is often in short supply. if there is no fuel we have to get our cars and return reentry appears. 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 problems for ambulances and police cars. for the needle surrounded us but we should move on so we try to do our best to help

people get by if we give up will die it's 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 tell does they want to save the people is that the way to save the people tell me this is just a crime. while the warring sides try to find a way out of months of devastating conflict ordinary people looking for a way to just leave their everyday lives dreaming about times when these nightmare would be with a distant memory. tripoli. where u.s. action in libya reaches its ninety day deadline on sunday when a group of congressmen are suing president obama for resorting to military engagement without official approval but voice of russia radio host common russell

. says he doesn't believe congress will pull the plug on america's involvement. the problem is that when there was a prior lawsuit during clinton's our foray into the former yugoslavia dennis crucifixion a group of other congressmen even at that time filed a very similar lawsuit saying that it was illegal and it went to a district court but the district court said in the individual congressmen did not have any sort of standing the reality is i think still a majority of congressmen are said are going to support the actions in libya and afghanistan and so on congress is not going to. come and say that we shouldn't be doing this and try to defund it and besides obama is currently using discretion department to fund discretionary funds to get around it anyway so you know it's a question of how effective it would be if it works in you know 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 at first seemed more

successful in the vicious stalemate in libya but since hosni mubarak fell in february around seven thousand people have been jailed by egypt's military rulers activist david keyes says the revolution to install democracy has changed very little. some have been jailed simply for criticizing the government others have been brought up on spirits charges of quote unquote insulting the military but increasingly and certainly given the incredible high number of detentions detentions of civilians not tensions of people who have. tried to undermine the regime but people simply criticizing the military this is a very dangerous trend egyptian dissidents and bloggers who are imprisoned in military prisons and they describe incredible torture they describe electrocution they describe 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 still has to overcome if you ship is going to move towards democracy and liberalism and openness in the west in fact has a very important role to play. with r.t. us to the head on the program cleaning up react to what's. happening. on the dangers posed by radiation leaks. the u.s. is accused of using physical pressure to extradite jailed russian it's been. rather would be to. the state should have less of an influence in russia's economy that was part of president vision of the nation's future the international economic performance in petersburg this week he joined the business leaders and politicians to discuss ways russia and the world should be developing their economies nazis and he said that we are. modernization based on

stifling corruption days centralizing power and government reforms all goals voiced by president mediated at this year's international economic forum here in st petersburg where how russia is going to attempt to become one of the world's biggest and most effective 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 officials that don't do business according to the law

. the noose around the neck of those who practice corruption should be tightened on the whole of russia or 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 hampering russia's economic development is that not being a member of the world trade organization lately we're hearing from a lot of officials that exception 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. one question

on all of the minds of the business executives top innovators and world leaders will president medvedev run for reelection well it was their first question of the forums and this is what medvedev had to say. 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 that statement i will have to tell the people of russia and anyone else who's interested about my decision. you will not have to wait much longer. every story requires some kind of intrigue otherwise they'll be no interest in living. so let's keep the intrigue a bit longer. and certainly no intrigue surrounding what platform medvedev would run on if you does announce he's running for reelection it will be all about modernization reporting from st petersburg an isa now a party and among those attending the forum was the chinese leader who can tell he

said that the world economy is still recovering slowly and that reform of the global financial system is needed. to moscow for a major energy deal with russia was on the table thirty year supply contract wasn't signed however as a price for russian gas has yet to be delayed but the two leaders did put pen to paper on a number of other deals while discussing the wider world they agreed that the countries involved in the be in conflict must stick to the un resolutions. political scientist dr chung thinks that russia and china's increased cooperation will have little benefits. china russia trade in economic relationship. development between two nations i believe is not only of the impacting the european continent but oversaw the global scene i believed all these are at the crossroads historic crossroads or some may say the wallace at the brink of evil being

subdued war all the coming to us nato military intervention in libya now moving into possibly syria or even to iran if russia or china or these are see all the lions we saw that not enough to stop the us led nato military aggression in north african region so i hope saw that as see all russia china china russia leaving leading this new global movement to balance the power in the wallet so that they can build a new world order we are no more unilateral row aggressive or you can clone your own methodology being put into a sovereign nation such as libya. for wider outlook on how the emerging powers could reshape the financial landscape check out our website in the business section

you can find expert opinion on the latest updates from the perspective of what's going on in the global economy just log on to our top testing. this week iran attempted to convince the atomic agency that its program is peaceful it came as the u.n. considered why the sanctions targeting tehran's nuclear plants. and voids the shanghai cooperation organization dismissed as groundless accusations that the program has been a truth i mentioned in an exclusive interview with r.t. . many allegations was raised by the united states and i approved of that investigation. taking samples and added to go process that all these allegations were baseless in fact before coming to me and i was in charge of escorting all the spectre's and i was with them in this military size that it was would prove that this allegation had no basis is every unfortunate after eight years they are

repeating these boring stories one thing is clear that we do not have any program for nuclear weapons we are fully cooperating with as i said unprecedented the most robust inspection in the history of why for five thousand man these pictures they have found no evidence of diversion of nuclear material to play with it purposes and the statement or claim by the lady has shown we do respect i categorically reject. well iran's enthusiasm for a nuclear program doesn't seem to have been affected by vents in japan there the operator of the crippled fukushima power says it may take several days before the system to decontaminate radioactive water can be restarted. operations being hampered by high radiation levels which are now far beyond safety limits its contaminated water could flow in the week a solution isn't found the latest setback comes as an international atomic energy

agency report criticised the government's new response to the nuclear disaster course by the quake and tsunami james called it at the top of the pending news website and says the risk to people's health remains very real. i mean new leaks of any kind are going to be an incredible burden on the efforts that are already underway to try to clean up the water or decontaminated 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 on line 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 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 date any particular spot when it's averaged out over

a large population like it's living in the fukushima region unfortunately means there will be over time an increase in cancer rates there and it's really just a question of how many. from manmade disasters to natural ones they expose the unpredictable risks of avalanches in the adrenaline junkies in racing the danger. one stream cascading from mountain slopes view is mesmerizing. but this beauty brings down the speed of more than one hundred kilometers. the stepping down of a long one on. this week in new york a judge questioned the validity of evidence against vick to boot the russian man america being an international gun runner since his controversial extradition from thailand has consistently said he has two chance of

a fair trial. point knives following the story. he is the russian citizen america fought relentlessly to adopt victor boot 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 fifty years convict. he's looking at life there's no parole there's no early release in 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 mr bush needs to be on captain america's team however captain america 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 the thai government to issue a public statement of disappointment at the judge's ruling not to extradite boot america's the world's most powerful nation but it's 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 mood to extradite him or 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 on two occasions the thai 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 boots family and his attorney. to transfer victor boot to america was a violation of a very important thai american treaty signed in one thousand nine hundred ninety eight which the political offenders 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 due legal process to get victor boot that means that victor boot is not getting a fair deal to this day tires the shells have not provided official documents explaining the legal grounds behind boats extradition this despite repeated inquiries made by the russian foreign ministry back to back about what we know for

sure that's on november sixteenth two thousand and turn that the moment a little bit to beat was physically taken out of the time prison his case was being considered by the time i call to the appeals that is why there are no legal grounds for him to face a u.s. court. meantime victor boot remains in the u.s. prison held in solitary confinement his wife doubts her husband will receive a fair trial from the country she says violated international and bilateral laws to get him. that it's clear to everyone that the case has long been moved from the sphere of want to 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 victor boot of our dealing now finds itself a political arm twisted come october an american jury will decide the picture of

the future to a political pressure at surfside by the u.s. army evidently the arena part nine artsy new york. back to make up our top stories in just a couple of states. so
