r t three pm here in the russian capital thanks for joining us now we begin in greece the man who has taken all the poison chalice as the country's new finance minister has admitted he faces quote a real war his biggest challenge is convincing angry greeks to face more a stare the cuts to secure a new bailout from europe while the appointment was part of a cabinet reshuffle and that appeasing those who are offering fierce resistance on the streets of the capital r t star firth was caught up in the middle of the violent protests. with the clashes between the police and the protesters still going to be on the street from. the crowd. and other than the fact larry that the building. people have one thing that was

going on at the moment the fleet trying to find the crowd the pilot still breaking out though if i actually took my love of the people on the street the scene if he could just imply with the gas not something that i want to hold film that it's been said that the people who are behind the provoking the police the people still me think i can see the central state even though you can have a stick i still think sets off by the place they turned out a great time to get a place to start their i guess about economic situation that's been happening in that country and they wouldn't have been all going to be able to. pick up. the the captions between the people cranking the crowd the police and they getting ready to retaliate. for. the situation that terry say the toughest police action the police is.

the managing by the looks of things to the police actually of the century scary itself there's a lot of the protester to throwing things so i guess the students we spoke to some of the main organizers from the tea unions to organize protests today they said that they wanted it to be peaceful until the end of jena so any of these measures will cause see the police killing of take us into the crowd that incredibly hard to breathe only straight not too pleasant for anyone there's lots of people getting medical treatment around the place. but the violence is really a rough saying and we're not entirely sure if these people when the gas masks that are provoking the police are actually part of the main phrase that as we said the people we spoke to said they wanted it to be peaceful and it has been up until now often so larry it's day when the provocation happened when the police started to try and push them that we journalists indiana scree source to meetings was also in the midst of the general strike protests or hebrew international backers for luring greece into a death hole from which attempts escape. we cannot pay all the money they hits they

interest rates all the money we take is in order to pay the high interest rates this is this is robbery this is theft this is swindle i can't describe it any more and the problem for them now is that people know that they realize that they see their income go going down they see taxes taxes taxes and nothing else their money does not go to their reality period then everybody knows that if they don't come with a solution and they decide right we give you time to repay your loans but at the same time we help you in this specific factor of your economy to recover and now at the moment you see hundreds of thousands of people greek people that they know they demonstrate they know that there is no tomorrow they know that they have no income unemployment you think unemployment is this is what they telling you no realign employment rates twenty five percent sure and this is a chaotic situation and the only responsible for this situation is the

international monetary fund the minister of finance this government has failed and while greeks express their anger at facing further cuts germans are no less serious about having to pay for it again the next hour german m.p. peter welch explains why he thinks countries should look after themselves. was regulated that there must be any bailout because otherwise you will be partly the 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 the 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 the number killed in that friendly fire attack is not known are reports from the capital tripoli and you may find some of the images in this report disturbing. residents of see this image districts here in tripoli have been broken up by a strike in the middle of the night and mom or several moms landed here the story as you can see behind me some rural three story buildings as we were told at least forty families have been living in the damaged houses which is from twelve to fourteen people being put under the rubble who were able to find children and two adults unmanned underwater mine who will also lose some of the people are still missing as you can see behind me the rescue operation is now undergoing the people here on the ground saying that there is little hope it's someone could be alive the

buildings on the opposite side of the street have also been possibly damaged but we were told that no one from there has been hurt the government spends person looked at him aside by him has come to the scene photographs this happened and he has this civilian area had been hit by may take pride they want that but look at some of the sky people would give children with my own hands with my own eyes i still and help take out the arabs who were killed and get to the boys the father and the mother to hold down that is that is child and under this attack you cannot justify this the target in any this is the. this incidence consummates continuing intense bombardment of cleavage by nato bombs are actually being dropped day and night we all the time hearing sounds of having explosions russia which has always been against ms remains to suffer the protracted leave in conflict has risen this front

piece mediates ten to leave it to try to explain the war in size to start talking often maintain the rebels in benghazi and productive people here in tripoli make a mongo has said that he believes the release of five for peaceful solution. in this crisis where both sides say they are ready for negotiations with the knees are now ready to provide an appropriate location for tolls but what we're seeing on the wrong with may to continue in mumbai mines and people feeling exhausted and angry it was made it very clear 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 these days labors also got some of the longest queues at his pastoral stations the international sanctions imposed on the battled colonel's regime to not include

a few and. at my age is targeting ten calories if this part of the fuel might be used by gadhafi is military forces with roads closed factories at the start and foreign workers long since gone from the war stricken country is facing its worst energy crisis ever the new realities ordinarily been drivers now spend vast amounts of time queuing for a few months ago this became a common theme in the media 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 the here is given only a marker 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 the week she believes it's a great idea to have women on the stations. all asian impact women have too many

things to do they don't fight each other world hewing and never shoot into the year is nothing new so we're in able to serve up to nine hundred cars below the threshold of. this line is long but others are ruben longer patrols to cheaper than water here just a few so. as for litter it's just that is often in short supply. if there is no fuel we have two large cars and return reentry appears that could be days. women only gas stations is one of many innovations supposed to ease people's lives in a country who cares there are also special powers for ambulances and police cars. with the needle surrounded us but we should move on we try to do our best to help people get by but we give up. 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 and they damaged our city destroyed our life they told us they want to save people is that the way to seize the people tell me this is just a crime. while the warring sides try to find a way out of minds of devastation conflict ordinary people are looking for a way to just leave their everyday lives dreaming about times when they start where would be with a distant memory. artsy tripoli. u.s. action in libya reaches its ninety day deadline on sunday and a group of congressmen are suing president obama for resorting to military engagement without official approval but voice of russia radio host carmen russell's a chance he 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 foray into the former yugoslavia dennis consideration of a group of other congressmen even at the time filed a very similar lawsuit saying that it was illegal and they went to a district court but the district court said in the individual congressmen did not have any sort of standing but the reality is i think still a majority of congressmen are starr 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 defense discretionary funds to get around it anyway so you know it's a question of how effective it would be it works in the 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. what happens now that the u.s. military is moving into yemen. if the west goes in with all its stars probably no behalf of unclear who then i think then that will make the situation markedly worse

later in the program look at how a secret a launching pad for drone attacks could affect the already dangerous situation inside. clawson what's behind russia's frightening rate of teen is suicides one of the highest in the world our report coming in just a few minutes from. a u.s. missile defense plans in europe will have to be revamped after the czech republic pulled out of the project this week where prague said it was not happy with its new small role in the system the country was originally supposed to host an advanced radar that washington claimed was to help prevent future missile threats from iran the plan was met with harsh criticism from russia and protests at home president obama shelved the original group asking the cats to host an early warning data center instead activists downtown and outspoken opponent of progs involvement says

the proposed system will spawn from the start. i checked people don't want such a thing here in this country we feel that this will actually undermine the security of both the czech republic and europe as a continent and so we think that it's completely contradictory to place such and such a system here in europe this system without incorporating russia without talking to also other world super powers like china like india or the following or the far east that will be the biggest world economies in the in years is really going to make a lot of tensions on the global scale and so it we should be wise and just start thinking about building security mechanisms and structures that will include all the big superpowers not just. the states should have less of an influence in russia's economy that was part of president may get a vision of the nation's future outlined at the international economic forum and

saying petersburg this week well he joined business leaders and politicians to discuss ways russia and the world should be developing their economies artes and he said now we have reports. one as they sent based on stifling corruption 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 of colonies was laid out this does 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 they don't do business according to the law. the noose around my neck of those who practice corruption should be tightened and the whole of russia agrees with this without any exception is what 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 in harms way those suspected of corruption are dismissed from public service another issue that's hampering process economic development is it 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 which this kind of approach is unacceptable and russia will not agree to any evidently unfavorable solutions and of course presumably the one question on all of the minds of the business executive innovators and world leaders will president medvedev run for reelection well if they are for yourself the question of before us and this is let me do it if i 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 that 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 boys will be no interest in living. so let's keep the intrigue a bit longer. and certainly no intrigue surrounding what platform and what

run on if he does announce 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 was the chinese leader who did well he said the world economy is still recovering slowly and that reform of the global financial system is needed hu jintao this it had not a major energy deal with russia was on the table a thirty year supply contract was not signed a waiver as the price for russian gas is still being built he agreed that is what the two leaders did put pen to paper and a number of other lucrative deals and while the stressing the wider world they agree that the countries involved in the reagan conflict must stick to the u.n. resolution analyzing the chinese readers visit asia times correspondent pepe escobar says china is ready for a new global role in terms. and mesh of security russia and central asia are getting we need. to what is

a dream isa school carrots to go a little east in the persian gulf it's a long term strategy be discussed as you go outside your plants and this strategy goes on until the end of the twenty first century so yes russia and china was ago russia sees d.s.t.o. as a jew strategically very important in terms of their only countering the berith nature of the country unless. you reaches or they sure are still use the su as a truly to correctly preparation disappear very reticent creates effect on the grill remarries the us immediately look at sort of zero you say military strategy as well and it's not only related to central asia it's really to start the chinese need humans to pad a very strong presence in the indian ocean and actually india really didn't see

this good the chinese territory. it's. good to see during a spec good move. are you saying. that you took. their strange look. for a wider outlook on how the emerging powers could reshape the national drought status check out our website that's r.t. dot com the business section you can find that's part of the latest updates providing us with a perspective of what's going on in the global economy now just log onto our to dot com state. poll this week reports emerged that the cia is building a new air base to launch unmanned drone attacks on targets in yemen the u.s. is reportedly concerned an anti american faction could step into the power vacuum there but british m.p. jeremy quartern told r.t. it's a sign that the west is close to repeating all mistakes in the country if the west

goes in with our starts probably not behalf of unclear who then i think then that will make the situation markedly worse yemen has huge poverty and social issues it's the poorest country in the region it's median age a population is less than eighty i mean it has the greatest social discrepancies of any country in the whole region but the last thing it needs is more bombing what it needs is peace what it needs is people coming together and it needs overseas aid to help it develop any government a little emergency mass to bring together all of the factions and all the interest across the yemen i cannot believe that drones are likely to bring this about and in their haste to be involved the u.s. look to me like you're in danger of making all the mistakes they made in afghanistan in one thousand seven hundred dollars when they rushed in as part of the cold war everyone that turned out for it to fight in their behalf and thus was born the taliban. well over the last century the u.s.

has established hundreds of military bases around the world and later today we'll bring you a special report on this expanding brad and the risks posed to the countries hosting them. to a substantial degree and one form or another socialism has spread the shadow of human regimentation over most of the nations of europe and the shadow is an approaching. to leave early twenty first century military bases a network of military bases all around the former sleep empire that the united states is trying to build that's astonishing most americans have no idea there are more than a quarter of a million more than two hundred fifty thousand u.s. troops stationed on these bases all around. we don't probably bases on america we don't have any british base we don't have any korean base we don't have any

french bases or you know we just all american bases in in the last hour bases of i hear the noises around the north she doesn't bother us at all because they're all bases but for other people it's almost like a cancer here for the speech. since the in the world war two the spaces i've been. working here to provide a safe and secure environment for everybody. the questions the appeals get everything you needed. or russia is played by one of the worst rates of teen suicide in the world four times higher than europe some blame parents for not seeing the problem staring them in the face as artie's acts on a boycott reports there are many other forces at work. just days before final exams a t.v. crew was reporting and students gearing up for the adult lives that lay had of them

the teachers pointed to pollyanna their brightest student who it seemed had her future figured out why should a stage i want to become a journalist because it's very interesting and creative profession which had opened doors to the world for me all this yet but instead of a school living celebration pulling his classmates gathered for her funeral something she may not be the best she and everything and hank herself. been getting ready for the example weeks and pollini i was the one who works the hardest of all. load of math problems and she was very modest she wanted to graduate isn't a great student you know many countries this track of exams in late december and early june sees peaks in the number of children taking their own lives but in russia it's a year round problem roughly one and a half thousand children and teenagers kill themselves every year that's much higher than the average scene in the united states and britain. problem is so out

of hand that when i was informing the president's about it i found it hard to believe the figures are truly frightening every year thousands children make attempts on their lives. up to four times more likely to attempt suicide it is still boys who by a long way actually succeed in killing themselves. eagar is different he's trying to take his life three times the latest the time just six months ago. i just had enough i was tired of fighting with my mom my girlfriend left me i was fed up with starting sensing the streets and hearing all this noise i just want everything and i want peace what's driving the problem in russia is what experts call a low emotional literacy psychological or psychiatric help is underdeveloped and not easily available. there is the stigma.

committed in the state of emotional distress a time when. even if parents notice that many would rather ignore the kid to a psychologist or psychiatrist which added to that continuing social and economic shift we need harder for parents to provide for their children leaving little time for talking and listening this morning meant is that we cater to children who are all and victim to adult farces alcoholism drug abuse prostitution and i want to go as can drive a child to take his or her own life but in the santror of this overly wicket taker spends one that seems qualified pradhan in almost commonplace yet it represents what x. parents say is the main reason why russia is leaving europe and the number of kids suicide and that is indifference no able hearing now crisis. artsy. if you missed any of the stories there's
