and he has this civilian area had been made by may take fright they want to duck by rockets on the sky people were killed children with my own hands with my own eyes i still i mean help take out the little girls who were killed and get the boys the father and the mother to hold them that is that is under this attack you cannot justify this that ducking. this incident consummates continuing intense bombardment of the very by nato bombs are actually being dropped day and night we are all the time hearing sounds of having explosions russia which has always been against ministry means to stifle the protests and leave in conflict has recently signed a peace treaty a chance to leave it to try to explain the warring sides to start talking often missing the rebels in benghazi and drop it off the people here in steeply making money off the side that he believes there is 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 few extremely exhausted after months of devastating war which has already taken many many lives and has actually completely destroyed the country's infrastructure. bottom or if an ocean of air with 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 common russell said he told us 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 kucinich and the group of other congressman even at that time filed a very similar lawsuit saying that it was illegal and it went to a district court for the district court said end of the individual congressmen did not have any sort of standing the reality is i think still

a majority of congressmen are going to support the use of 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 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 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 a lot more to come for this hour including the tragedy of team suicides russia struggles to rein in the epidemic even though experts say there's an all too obvious remedy a good report coming up in a few minutes also russia and china agree on pumping gas though the price proves to be a problem but neither leave the summit empty handed after securing billions of dollars in business again the latest story. three days into his

job in greece's new finance ministers admitted he faces a real war in carrying out a raft of painful reforms to convince his a you counterparts to give greece new loans is much bigger task will be to get angry greeks on side to bear more cuts to job services and paid employment was part of a major cabinet reshuffle to try and calm the deep seated fury being shown on the streets of athens sarah furthur in the capital this week when the latest protests broke out. the clashes between the police and the protests. believe me. you can be done. right. people have one thing that was going on at the moment the police trying to find out that violence still breaking out though if i see be not stopped by a lot of the people on the street fifty nice people dressed in black with a gas mask tell they really don't want anyone to film that it's been said that the

people who are behind the provoking the police have people still meeting back on the central state even though you can have a ticket still think that's off by the place they turned out to protest against the proposed to start there i guess about the economic situation has been happening in that country and they want it or not going to be able. to play for about really got the committee thing the tensions between the people cranking the crowd the police out there getting ready to retaliate stuff. that. was a situation that they didn't care i say that trying to face the facts and the police are trying to stand them 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 wearing gas masks and we spoke to some of the main organized in the teens who organized protests today and they said

that they wanted it to be peaceful until the end of june until any of these measures were passed see the police still letting up take us into the crowd that incredibly hard to breathe only stays noted to 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 are actually part of the main preset as he said the people we spoke to said they wanted it to be peaceful and it has been up until now up until it's day when the provocation happened when the police started to try and push them back. pretty sure and far as told to see the high officials greece and other struggling countries to stay in the euro zone to prove that the. project works. i have been trying with president calderon poyet with president barroso with all the people that lead the what is plan b. isn't it time we had that greece portugal 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 other 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 or military 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 well critics may be angry at their government for the crisis their own but the germans are no less furious about i'm going to pay for it all next hour r.t. speaks to german m.p. clubs peter velshi explains why he thinks a huge country should look after themselves. in the. wars 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 the only right answer to that is no bailout. 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's been offered now the original plan to place an advanced radar in the country was changed for it to host a less important facility the missile shield supposed counterpart to. threatened so rogue states like iran and north korea the plans were facing massive opposition from russia which is concerned that its safety might be compromised have also been protests in the czech republic itself one of the i've spoken critics of the project is activist yang tell my she 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 and such a system here in europe this system without incorporating russia without talking to also other world superpowers like china like india or the following are the pirates that will be the biggest world economies in the in the following two 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 some. modernized economy cured of corruption is one of the top priorities in president live their lives to do list of which he outlined russia's direction and supporters but this week the international economic forum a stage to breathe new life into the country's investment climate and indeed

attracted some of the world's biggest business and political heavyweights but isn't this now a sums up the showcase highlights for us. modernization based on stifling corruption de centralizing power and government reforms all goals voiced by president made a diff 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 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 and 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 harm's 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 still we are asked to make an unseemly large number of concessions this kind of approach is unacceptable russia will not agree to any evidently unfavorable solutions and of course presumably the one question on all of the minds of the business executives 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 had to say yes. when i concede. 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 won't 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 inventive would run on if he does announce he's running for reelection it will be all about modernization reporting from st petersburg and the so now a party in more top stories from us in the wake us judge called the case against an alleged russian government over to and convincing and called the prosecutor's evidence thin lawyers claim the united states doesn't have jurisdiction to prosecute him and want the charges dismissed that is more important in new york

explains. he is the russian citizen america fought 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 fifty years convicted. he's looking at life there's no parole there's no early release on the federal system really the only way in the federal system to get a reduction in your sentence. 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 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 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 and others 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 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 and it's clear to everyone that the case has long been moved from the sphere of law 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 a political arm twisting come october an american jury will decide picture of the future wall to a political pressure at surfside by the u.s. army evidently the arena for nine r.t. new york this is a long running case spin all twists and turns to it if you want to find out more but greg you want more analysis online from us tonight at r.t. dot com we are on the data there in the timeline of the whole the case you can watch how the whole story unfolded. elections in egypt might be postponed as the country's current prime minister says

a new constitution must be drafted first the country continues to be under military rule time during which around seven thousand people been arrested since february is revolution david king has told us the uprising to instill democracy and install democracy has so far 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 were imprisoned in military prisons and they describe incredible torture they describe electrocution they describe waterboarding they describe for regular beatings and this was the egyptian military that stood behind mubarak until the last minute so while there have been gains and we hope that egypt has

a brighter future ahead of it there are still many many challenges that it starts to overcome if egypt is going to move towards democracy and liberalism and openness in the west in fact has a very important role to play 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 big built in the persian gulf for the sole purpose of taking the american terrorist if they manage to win through in yemen's power struggle and it's thought over one hundred people have been killed in the past two weeks the witnesses on the ground say they include a lot more civilians than was being admitted in the u.k. meantime attack helicopters in command of squads of big prepared for possible deployment of the country british m.p. jeremy cole been told is he believes the west is doing the direct opposite of what yemen needs 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 it's the median age of the population is less than a i mean 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. overseas aid to help develop any government or political unity of emerges 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. here with one of the highest teen suicide rates in the world russia has been jolted action to try 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 i've noticed there's artie's

xander boyd what's next compassion is a cure but sadly that's the 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 adult lives that lay ahead of them the teachers pointed to polina that brought a student who it seemed had her future figured out the way she always staged i want to become a journalist because it's a very interesting and creative profession which would open doors to the world for me with this yet but instead of a school living celebration pulling his classmates gathered for here funeral sensing 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 than pulling out was the one who worked the hardest of all she saw her load of math problems and she was very nervous she wanted to graduate isn't a great student for 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 the have thousand children in teenagers killed themselves every year that's much higher than the average scene in the united states and britain. the problem is so out of hand that when i was informing the president about it he found it hard to believe but the figures are truly frightening every year up to four thousand children make attempts on their lives. girls are up to four times more likely to attempt suicide it is still boys who by a long way actually succeed in killing themselves bigger is different he's tried to take his life three times the latest the time just six months ago but i just had enough i was tired of fighting with my mom my girlfriend left me i was fed up with starting i couldn't stand seeing the streets and hearing all this noise i just wanted everything to end and i wanted peace what's driving the problem in russia is

what experts call a low emotional literacy psychological or psyche. health is underdeveloped and not easily available then there is the stigma given most the most suicides are attempted or committed in the state of emotional distress which builds over time 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 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 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 figures sounds one that seems qualis frightening almost commonplace here represents what experts say is the main reason why russia is living here up in the number of teen

suicides that isin difference seeing no evil hearing now cries. kind of like. three stories making headlines tonight a suicide bomber struck a german boy in northern afghanistan vehicles carrying german soldiers at the time the vehicle was just sort of the attack but nato says there are no troop casualties however at least two civilians did die in the explosion the taliban says he carried out of the moment. of seize more than four hundred kilos of cocaine on board a luxury u.s. registered yacht to spend the man on the boat fled the day before the police raid before to say weapons were also found on board including machine gun which was primed to use the best capable of transatlantic saving about to head to europe. to there the operator of the devastated fukushima nuclear plant will open the doors of one of its reactor buildings to vent radioactive gases it's to try to prevent

another explosion tepco also admits to underestimate just how much radiation it would have to filter from or to this latest setback comes as the u.n. nuclear agency criticized tepco for its slow response and concealing the true magnitude of radioactive leaks corbet small mind journalist and he 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 so there is no such thing as a safe level of radiation exposure that any level of radiation exposure increases

the risk of cancer and however negligible that risk may be with any particular person on any particular date project any. when it's averaged out over a large population like it's living in the fukushima region that unfortunately means there will be over time an increase in in cancer rates there and it's really just a question of how many it's going to twenty eight minutes past eleven pm here in moscow just a few minutes away from finding out why thrill seekers deliberately throw themselves into the path of make choose danger coming up short in the before but i've kept it all some of this hour's top stories now but there's something tonight the nineteenth of june here in moscow.

seventy six hours of intense fighting. six thousand dead at the beach front battlefields several kilometers long. and now there is only one person who cares. you see we are surrounded by garbage everywhere but also there are. on this beach which of course is a very most appropriate city signification a symbol of everything that's wrong with our goddamn government allowing not only garbage but to accumulate where so many guys died. a new battle is going

on. will the history be protected. return to tara wall julian cooper story on our t.v. . so.

this is our team posco up top stories nato says it says strikes could have killed seven civilians in a porch bombing in tripoli raising questions over the blocks plans to pound colonel gadhafi into submission. america's accuser twisting thailand's ahmed as a new york judge cost doubt on the galaxy of extraditing imagined russian arms smuggling to boot to the states. in the weeks of the top stories of greece's new man on the money rolls up his sleeves to steal the debt stricken country reforms after a serious public rage against even think of cuts it out. when nature strikes there are some people who head into the danger zone our team meets the avalanche adrenaline junkies next.

the cole open in chile are in russia's north home to the q.b. need massive mountain range this is the cold and windy bolshoi's would pass the snow here is between one and a half and four meters deep avalanche safety specialists are probing the snow structure on one of the slopes. the top layer of snow drifts on a slope is unstable and skis could trigger an avalanche shift attention those of you who are keen to scull mountain peaks please be careful. some avalanches a wet others a dry it all depends on the snows composition the speed of avalanches varies between seventy and four hundred kilometers an hour man can do nothing in the face of tons of snow rushing down to such a velocity. and yet people do live in the mountains they study avalanches to be

able to protect themselves from each year skiers and snowboarders tempt fate by taking to the mountain slopes. gk this weather station in the q.b. massive is situations close to the town of one hundred fifty kilometers north of the arctic circle it is one of the instruments of the avalanche safety service it records dozens of readings several times a day snow and ground temperatures wind direction solar activity and precipitation all those factors affect the snow and its structure the station staff uses them as the basis for political reform casts concerning avalanches. what triggers a sudden movement of snow in the mountains resulting in a formidable natural desire.
