that is that is that this attack can not just be why is that done. this is that. this incident comes and meets continuing intense bombardment all believe it or by nato bombs are actually being dropped day and night we all the time hearing sounds of heavy explosions russia which has always been against ministry means to settle the protests and leave in conflict has recently signed a peace mediator to leave it to try to explain the war in size to start talking after mistaking the rebels in benghazi and pro productive people here in st louis macon my god has said that he believes there is for peaceful solution of this crisis with both sides say they are ready for negotiations with the knees are now ready to provide an appropriate location for tolls but people actually extremely exhausted after months of devastating war which has already taken many many lives

and has actually completely destroyed the country's infrastructure. well the libyan war is already causing divisions in washington with lawmakers demanding obama explain his charge into libya and account for the expense and lack of progress but political radio host carmen russel's the chancellor says he doesn't believe congress will really pull the plug. the problem is that when there was a prior lawsuit during clinton's foray into the former yugoslavia dennis crucifixion of 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 end of the individual congressman did not have any sort of standing the reality is i think 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 of funds discretionary funds to get around it anyway so you know it's a question of how effective would be 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. well there are still lot ahead this hour including the unmanned warfare in the gulf reportedly secret american drone base near yemen emerged along with outrage of alleged civilian deaths and the latest attacks. are russia and china pumping gas though the price proved to be a problem but neither leave the summit empty handed after securing billions of dollars in business. and the tragedy of teen suicides russia struggles to rein in an epidemic even though experts say there's an all too obvious remedy at hand. now three days into his new job and greece's new

finance minister has admitted he faces what he calls a real war in carrying out a raft of painful reforms to convince his counterparts to give greece new loans his much bigger task will be to get angry greeks onside to bear more cuts to job services and pay the appointment was part of a major cabinet reshuffle to try and calm the deep seated fury being shown on the streets of athens r.t. sarfarosh was in the capital this week when the latest violent protests broke out. the clashes between the police on the protesters still going. on the. building the crowd. the destruction of the. people who. was going on at the moment the police trying to find the crowd behind it right. by lot of the people on the streets the next people just them but when they got small still they really don't want to hold still but it seems that the

people who. provoking the. people still me think back on the centuries but even though you can haven't got the things that's off by the late. great time. there are. of economic situation has been happening in that country and they wouldn't have been all going to be able to head to play for about three. weeks of many things the tensions between the people writing to the crowd the police about getting ready to retaliate stuff. that you have. three heads. of the situation that they didn't care i say that trying to fix the fact that the police are trying to start the managing by the looks of things to push back the police actually of the such a scary itself there's a lot of the protesters who are throwing things wearing gas masks and we spoke to some of the main organizers from the tea unions who organized protests today they

said that they wanted it to be peaceful until the end of june and so any of these measures will cause see the police still letting up take us into the crowd that incredibly hard to grieve in a straight not a too pleasant for anyone there's lots of people getting medical treatment around the place. but the violence is really erupting and we're not entirely sure if these people when the gas masks that are provoking the place are actually part of the main crisis 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 play started to try and push them bot. british air m.p. nigel farage says the e.u.'s high officials need greece and other struggling countries to stay in the eurozone to prove the project works i have been trying with president biden remploy with president barroso with all the people that lead the what is plan b. isn't it time we had miti that greece portugal ireland are not suited to the euro

zone isn't it better that we that they come out they get their own currencies back they have a devaluation and then of course some of the banks have to take a hit but they won't hear of it here because as far as they're concerned in brussels the euro the economic and monetary union is a political project they see it as a stepping stone to united states of europe they're not prepared to admit they've got it horribly wrong and put back frankly they couldn't care less if tens of millions of people across europe lose their jobs that doesn't matter to the european commission provided they could maintain the euro and keep propping up the banks and later this hour an interview section at german m.p. klaus peter well shares his views on the bailing out greece and why he thinks e.u. countries should look after themselves. now the czech republic this week announced it's backing out of the u.s. missile defense program planned for europe because it was frustrated by the

diminished role it was offered the original plan to place an advance radar in the country was changed for it to host a less important facility the missile shield supposed to counter potential threats from so-called rogue states like iran and north korea but the plant has been facing massive opposition from russia which is concerned that its safety might be compromised or there have also been protests in the czech republic itself and one of the outspoken critics of the project is activist young tom daschle says such a system would only fuel global tension. check 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 play such a 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 of ours

that will be the biggest world economies in the in the following three years is really going to make a lot of tension 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 super powers not just. a modernized economy cured of corruption is one of the top priorities and president medvedev said to do a list in which he outlined russia's direction in st petersburg this week the international economic forum was staged to breathe new life into the country's investment climate and a track that some of the world's business and political heavyweights artes and he said now it sums up the showcase highlights. modernization based on stifling corruption days centralizing power and government reforms all goals voiced by president medvedev 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 should focus on the following improving the investment climate in russia to create new jobs in the regions the creation of a modern police service and other security forces improving the effectiveness of the justice system and finally the modernization of government 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 at the neck of those who practice corruption should be tightened on the whole of russia or agrees with this without any exception if 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 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 access into 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 and still we are asked to make an unseemly large number of concessions if 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 of the top innovators and world leaders will president medvedev run for reelection well it was the official last question of the forum and this is what medvedev to say. when i consider. it appropriate to tell you whether i will do it or not i will come out of. 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 so 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 advantage would run on if he does announce he's running for reelection it will be all about modernization reporting from st petersburg a nice in the way. the far east came to russia's north this week as china's leader joined the gathering in st petersburg calling for calm in there for us to get the global economy back on track hu jintao described the recovery as slow and fragile and said more reform is needed it followed his trip to moscow where talks failed to decide on a price to ship russian gas directly into china however the country's leaders pledged to quadruple neutral trade within a decade and energy analyst julia reed told r.t. that a closer alliance between moscow and beijing will bring economic benefits for both . china ought to be hugely

important trade partner for russia both in energy terms and in general trade these are two countries that for many decades shared a political ideology least to some extent they share the longest land border in the world they ought to be much much greater partners than they are now if we look at russia is extremely keen to develop its oil and gas resources in the east of the country exporting those anywhere other than asia just doesn't make logistical or economic sense so really this is about russia spreading its wings. you know everybody who can export anything is looking at the asian market because that is where the growth is now a u.s. judge says the case against an alleged russian gun runner victor boot is unconvincing and call the prosecutor's evidence then lawyers claim the united

states does not have jurisdiction to prosecute him and they want the charges dismissed artie's but in a port in new york explains. he is the russian citizen america fought relentlessly to adopt it was secretly and swiftly extradited to the u.s. seven months of up and this may be where he stays indefinitely it sound 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 sentence. a significant reduction is if you cooperate with the united states government some have argued mr boot 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 us 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 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 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 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. 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 tire fishel is have not provided official documents explaining the legal grounds behind boots extradition. 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. 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 arms dealing now finds itself accused of political arm twisting come october an american jury will decide victor boot future wanted a political pressure sized by the u.s. remains evidently the arena point nine artsy new york. for more background and analysis had to r.t. dot com where we outlined the data and timeline of the victor boot case and there you can watch how the story unfolded.

how iran has promised to be constructive and transparent with the u.n. nuclear watchdog it came as the united nations considered sanctions on tehran atomic plans demanding proof their program was peaceful well we spoke to iran's envoy to the who said his country no longer had anything to prove. many allegations was raised by the united states and i approved of the investigation taking samples and added to go process that all these allegations are baseless in fact before coming to the un i was in charge of escorting all the spectre's and i was with them in this way to size it which 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 a said unprecedented the most robust inspection in the history of order five

thousand mandy's have found no evidence of diversion of nuclear material to prove we did purposes and the statement or claim by lady ocean with due respect i categorically reject now with the highest teen suicide rates in the world russia is being sheltered into action to reverse the worrying trend but experts say it's not that simple because there are several causes that can lead to tragedy if left on notice as r.t. sex on a boy to reports compassion is a cure but it's a remedy that's all too hard to come by. just days before final exams a t.v. crew was reporting and students gearing up for their lives that lay had of them the teachers pointed to bullying at the broader student who it seemed had her future figured out which way should play stage i want to become a journalist because it's a very interesting and creative profession which would have been tossed to the water with this yet but instead of a school living celebration pulling his classmates gathered like

a funeral something she may not be the best she ended everything and hank herself with agendas and she would have been getting ready for the example weeks down pulling out was the one who worked at the hardest of all she saw a hell note of math problems and she was very novice she wanted to graduate isn't a grade student how many countries this trash 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 it's much higher than the average seen in the united states and britain. the problem is so out of hand that when i was a filming the president's about it he found it hard to believe that the figures are truly frightening every year thousands children make attempts on their lives that this is your goal that up to four times more likely to attempt suicide yet it's

still boys who by a long way actually succeed in killing themselves bigger is different his 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 studying i couldn't stand seeing the streets and hearing all this noise i just wanted everything and i want peace what's driving the problem in russia is what experts call a low emotional literacy psychological or psyche. help is underdeveloped and not easily available. there is the stigma. committed in the state of emotional distress which builds over time. even as parents notice that many would rather ignore them than to take their kid to a psychologist or psychiatrist which added to that continuing social and economic shifts making it harder for parents to provide for their children leaving little

time for talking and listening this morning meant is that they cater to children who have fallen victim to adult biases alcoholism drug abuse prostitution and i want to those can drive a child to take his or her own life but in the center of this overly wicked figure stands one that seems policy frightening almost commonplace represents what experts say is the main reason why russia is leading europe in the number of teen suicides about us and difference seeing no evil hearing now cries from a work of art. the u.s. is stepping up its unmanned drone attacks on yemen and claiming to target al qaeda militants while there have been reports of a secret cia base being built in the persian gulf with the sole purpose of taking down anti american terrorists if they manage to win through in yemen's power struggle well it's thought that over one hundred people have been killed in the

past two weeks and witnesses on the ground say they included a lot more civilians than is being admitted in the u.k. attack helicopters and commando squads are being prepared for possible deployment in the country british m.p. jeremy corbyn believes the west is doing the direct opposite of what you have a need for stability. if the west goes in with starts bombing on 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 its median age population is less than eighteen has the greatest social discrepancies of any country in the whole region 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 develop any government political unity in the past to bring together all of the factions and all of the interest across the yemen i cannot believe that drugs 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 nine hundred seventy you know i mean they rushed in as part of the cold war anyone that turned up offering to fight on 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 we'll bring you a special report at our next hour on this expanded web and the risks 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 the earth and the shadow is approaching. the 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 its 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 have power bases in 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 our bases of a lot of the noise is our noise and doesn't bother us at all because there are all bases but for all the people it's almost like a cancer here for these people. since the end of world war two the spaces i've been . working here to provide a safe and secure environment for everybody. the questions you think else you get everything you needed. well there is a shock at the top of russian football's premier league after one player gets

a child of falls or more of that in our sports bulletin with kate in just over fifteen minutes and i'll be back with a recap of our top stories don't go away. hungry for the full story we've got it first hand the biggest issues get the human voice

face to face with the news makers. wealthy british style it's just not on the tires. market why not come to. find out what's really happening to the global economy with mike's cars or for a no holds barred look at the global financial headlines tune in to cause a report on our. line. would be so much brighter if you knew about song from phones to impressions.

welcome back here's a recap of the beach top stories in our seven civilians dead in a suspected nighttime and nato air strike on a residential area in tripoli as the alliance tries to libya out of its three month stalemate. america is accused of twisting thailand's arms as a new york casts doubt on the legality of extraditing alleged russian arms smuggler to the states. and greece's new man on the money rolls up his sleeves to stare at the debt stricken country's reforms after eight year you're probably great against even deeper cuts in happens. and it's not just greeks who are angry at the sacrifices they're being forced into for financial help from europe the germans

aren't happy about paying for the weaknesses of their neighbors either well next a german m.p. tells us why he thinks should look after themselves. leave the euro to save the european union according to german. what will happen if you keep. you know and you were treaties that was regulated that there must be any bailouts because. otherwise you. you would. ruin the popular kid finances of those countries who are contributing to it and as long as each country is responsible for its budget it has to take full responsibility

and the only right answer to that is no bailout how do the bailouts affect the german economy in germany we are making a lot of efforts to keep public debt under control. we. just amended our constitution we put in their so-called truth and plans and kept break. which. defines the steps we have to take with our. budgets. in order to come to the zero nine and then start paying the debt back. and it is dangerous if this is. infected by. policy national policy of either you're a partner or say. well it's it is an invitation to a bigger neighbor policy and you say ok if i don't get anymore.
