i just sat down with you naming this is the incident this incident comes and meets continuing intense bombardment of believe it 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 treaty a ten to leave it to try to explain the war in size to start talking after missing the rebels in benghazi and broken up the people here in st louis making my god has said that he believes the reason 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 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 libya

was 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 russell's a chance he 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 goosen engine of a group of other congressmen even at that time filed a very similar lawsuit saying that it was illegal and they went to a district court for 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 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 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. much more ahead for you this hour including the unmanned warfare in the gulf reports of the secret of drug. long with outrage of the alleged civilian deaths in the latest attacks report from you for you just a couple of minutes hence also the tragedy of teen suicides russia struggles to rein in an epidemic even though experts say there's no to all this remedy and it's coming up as well. now though three days into his job and greece's new finance ministers admitted he faces quote a real war in carrying out a raft of painful reforms he convinces e.u. counterparts to give greece new loans much bigger task will be the get angry greeks on side to move cuts to jobs services and pay you a point that was part of a major cabinet reshuffle to try and calm the deep seated fury being shown on the

streets of athens all to sara firth was in the capital this week when the latest violent protests broke out. the clashes between the police and the protesters still . in the street you can. still be in the crowd you can see it is likely that along the fence larry it will build a great time for. people here wondering exactly what's going on at the moment the police trying to crowd that final film breaking out though it might be not taught by a lot of the people on the street the phoenix people dressed in black with the gas masks on they really don't want anyone to film that it's been said that the people who are behind much deeper thinking the police people still need the back on the central state even though you can hear the big gas leaks that's off by the police they planned out to take time to get a place to start their agony about the economic situation that's been happening in their country and they want to know going to be able to help because the police

eventually got to be committed the tensions between the people thinking since the founding the police that they got he went to retaliate. well you. look at the situation that the ferry say they're trying to place the fact in the police are trying. they're managing by the looks of things to push back the police actually off the central square itself there's a lot of the protesters who are throwing things so i guess. we spoke to some of the main organizers from the tea unions who organize a protest today and they said that they wanted it to be peaceful until the end of june and so any of these measures were passed see the police the letting of take us into the crowd that incredibly hard to grieve in the streets not at so pleasant for anyone there's lots of people getting medical treatment around the play. but the violence is really a rock thing and we're not entirely sure if these people when the gas masks that

are prevailing the police are actually part of the main pray said as he said the people we spoke to said they wanted it to be peaceful and i have seen up until now up until earlier today when that provocation happened when the police started to type push them by our correspondent sort of earth in athens for us in the week. british banks are getting jittery over greece apparently pulling billions out of funding the eurozone so they don't get stuck anymore let's get the thoughts from a lot of a new season international consultant and former belgian parliament over the speakers joining us on the line from brussels very good evening from her being on r.t. france and germany was we've seen in the week again desperately trying to get the banks to help but it can't really blame british firms county for running scared from the euro do you think we'll see others take flight as well first of all i think you can blame british banks for doing what they're doing i mean this is some kind of social feeling prophecy let's not forget it also bridges don't just like the french and the germans their own public support recently the problem is why

would they know conditions on this public funding i think the companies show a total lack of social responsibility because. they resist why are they there in the first place there must be a purpose and a purpose is not profit the purpose is public welfare and that's the only one i can accept and that is not their priority apparently i guess the buggers are going to argue the getting mixed messages on them while how they're told they shouldn't take massive rest like they did in the big crash two thousand and eight or the other be encouraged to throw more money into a situation like crazy even though the first bailout of billions failed to do the job but the question is is that really the mixed message that they got from the crash in two thousand and eight my opinion is that the message that they got from the crisis is that you can go on doing what you did with all this risky loans will burn you out anyway with taxpayer money as it did in the past that is the real message that seek it they can go on doing those risky things because they will get bailed out now and that is the message that i see really going to these bands when

all that money go all the euros those billions of euros the poured into greece ireland and portugal what it'll go on but first of all i'm not denying that there is the need for some basic reform within the greek public institutions but whether that is the real cause and a real solution i highly doubt it i mean crises like these are considered big opportunities by big financial institutions it was so in the past and it is so today where is the money gone well i think you don't have to look for the money has gone to financial institution to wealthy elites who are actually benefiting from these surveys are a way for them. well the thing is bailouts which kind of bailout true for what purpose that is the question the bill is that we had sure far was look we give you all the stock spare money without any conditions so you can keep on going doing what you did that is not the kind of bailout advice was certainly loaded just even

today we've seen protests in spain and france against and the austerity measures being imposed there people are uncertain about their future in europe now who can give them guarantee well first of all you can hardly blame them for being uncertain about the future i mean all the social achievements of the last thirty years are put in jeopardy by these financial so-called financial reforms and defeating is this is a question about what is democracy and what is democracy for i think the mox full of people not for financial institution it's as simple as that even the most optimistic observers know the euro as an intensive care you can argue about that i mean in order to save it do you think some nations do need to be cut free now or they'll going to go down with a sinking ship well i do get a share with you the idea that the euro is in the trouble but i think in the words like intensive care are not helping and first of all it's not true it's in trouble well many like the dollar has been in trouble before like these are crises and they

can be solved if there is a political will to solve them there was the question is how do you sell them for what purpose if it's for public good or is it for the do goods the interest of a specific interest that's the question a lot of an osa international consultant former deputy speaker of the belgian parliament thanks for the program thank you very much later this hour as well we've got an interview with a german paid close peter velshi shares his views about bailing out greece and why he thinks the country should look after themselves. next modernised economy cured of corruption is one of the top priorities in president medvedev to do list in which he outlined russia's direction in some petersburg this week the international economic forum a stage to breathe new life into the country's investment climate and attracted some of the world's business and political heavyweights that he's innocent now as sums up the showcase highlights modernization based on stifling corruption decentralizing 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 active a colonies 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 over 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 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 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 top innovators and world leaders will president medvedev run for reelection well it was that of the question of the forum and this is what medvedev to say yes. 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. 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 what is wrong if he does announce he's running for reelection it will be all about modernization reporting from st petersburg and it's the way r.t. . iran has promised to be constructive and transparent with the u.n. nuclear watchdog it came as the united nations consider new sanctions on two runs atomic plans demanding proof that the program was peaceful we spoke to iran's envoy to the i said his country no longer had anything to prove many allegations was raised by united say 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

u.n. i was in charge of escorting all these specters and i was with them in disability 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 a as a said unprecedented the most robust inspection in the history of order five thousand mandy's gay have found no evidence of diversion of nuclear material to prove we did purposes and the statement or claim by a lady has done with due respect i categorically reject. the u.s. judge says the case against an alleged russian gunrunner vick to boot is unconvincing and call the prosecutor's evidence thin boots lawyers claim the united states doesn't have jurisdiction to prosecute the charges dismissed or not is more important hire a new york explains. he is the russian citizen america thought relentlessly

to adopt picture 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 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 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 thai officials have not provided official documents explaining the legal grounds behind boots extradition. meantime victor boot remains in a 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 lard 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. in. the country accusing victor boot of arms dealing now finds itself accused of political arm twisting come october an american jury will decide if you want to be a political pressure at your side by the u.s. army evidently the arena part nine artsy new york this is a long running story a long running case of a lot more background more analysis had to want to go there were a lot of the days were entire blood in the hole the story they can watch how it all unfolded. the u.s. is stepping up its unmanned drone attacks on yemen claiming to target al qaeda militants 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 now it's thought over one hundred people have been killed in the past two weeks and witnesses on the ground say they include a lot more civilians than is being admitted in the u.k. attack helicopters and commandos squads are being prepared for possible deployment in the country british m.p. jeremy corbin told us he believes the west is doing the direct opposite of what yemen needs first ability. if the west goes in with our 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 eighty and it 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 it develop any government or political unity emerges has to

bring together all of the factions and all of the interests across the yemen i cannot believe that cia drones are likely to bring this about and in their haste to be involved the us looked to me like you're in danger of making all the mistakes they made in afghanistan in one nine hundred seventy nine when they rushed in as part of the cold war armed anyone that turned up offering to fight on their behalf and thus was born the taliban. also making news tonight a suicide bomber struck a german convoy in northern afghanistan the vehicle was carrying german soldiers and was destroyed in the attack but now it is says there are no troop casualties however at least two civilians did die in the explosion the taliban says it carried out the bombing. argentinian coast guards of c. is more than four hundred kilos of cocaine on board a luxury u.s. registered yacht two spaniards who manned the boat fled the day before the police raid authorities say weapons were also found on board including a machine gun which was primed for use the vessel capable of transatlantic sailing

was about to head to. the operator of japan's devastated fukushima nuclear plant it made it underestimated just how much radiation it would have to filter from coolant water its new decontamination system malfunctioned after just five hours of operation the latest setback comes after the u.n. nuclear agency criticized tepco for its slow response and concealing the true magnitude of radioactive leaks. with one of the highest teen suicide rates in the world russia is being jolted 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 unnoticed as artist xander boyko reports now compassion is a cure but it's a remedy that's too hard to come by just days before final exams a t.v. crew was reporting and students gearing up for their lives that lee had of them the

teachers pointed to bullying at their brightest 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 open doors to the world for me like this yet but instead of a school living celebration pulling his classmates gathering like a funeral something she may not be the best she added everything and hank herself with agendas and she would have been getting ready for the example weeks and believing i was the one who work the hardest of all she saw her note of math problems and she was very nervous she wanted to graduate isn't a great student to 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 in a half thousand children in teenagers killed themselves every year that's much higher than the average scene in the united states and britain that's in your

problem is so out of hand that when i was in filming the president's about it he found it hard to believe but the figures are truly frightening every year thousand children make attempts on their lives this is you girls are up to four times more likely to attempt suicide yet it's still boys who by a long way actually succeed in killing themselves. eager is different his try to take his life three times the latest a 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 to end and i want to piece 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 then there is the stigma given most suicides are attempted

committed in the state of emotional distress which builds over time and there are warning signs but even if 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 shift making it harder for parents to provide for their children and leaving little time for talking and listening this morning meant is that they cater to children who have fallen victim to adult. alcoholism drug abuse prostitution and i want to go with can drive a child to take his or her own life but in the center of this over only wicket bigger stones one that since policy prodding almost commonplace it represents what experts say is the main reason why russia is leading europe and the number of sides about us and difference seeing no evil hearing now cries i sound like an artsy.

looking ahead this hour we've got four for you in about fifteen minutes in fact kate's got some news of a shocking story and russian for war quite literally is about to find out if you're watching out for moscow this sunday evening the nineteenth of june as me kevin owen frank you for being with us. for the full story we've got it first the biggest issues get

flocking there or the noise is our noise and doesn't bother us at all because they're all bases but for other people it's almost like a cancer here for these people. since the end of world war two the spaces i've been through. we're here to provide a safe and secure environment for everybody. the questions any of thing else you get everything you need. is steve it's. very. easy.

this is r.t. from moscow kevin our of our top stories in our review of the week seven civilians dead in a suspected nighttime nato air strike on a residential area in tripoli as the alliance tries to bomb libya out of its three months down may. also making headlines greece's new man over money rolls up his sleeves to steer the debt stricken country's reforms for a few areas public rage against even deeper cuts. at america's been accused of twisting thailand's arms as a new york judge casts doubt on the legality of extraditing alleged russian arms smuggler victor boot to the states. so post eight pm here in moscow it's not just greeks who are angry about the sacrifices the being forced into for financial help

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 pens 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 other europe otter's. where it's it is an invitation to a bigger my neighbor policy and you say ok in.
