and of course the greek government is an accomplice to this of popular sovereignty i mean we're not one of anymore in the proper sense a sovereign country when the i.m.f. can dictate policy when the european when the and the european union and the i.m.f. the so-called troika can come and say listen these are these are the measures you're going to implement you are going to implement them whether you like it a lot we can say in a way we're facing a very peculiar form. by the european union the european central bank and the. finance chiefs a desperate not to see the first year raising suffering default and they're rising concerns about the crisis that could trigger. i think very chance of a domino effect if. there are no should be full and this is their problem and this is the reason why the europeans are helping greece but in fact they are here pingers because they don't want this domino effect

and because they want to take all very short of greece. sixteen percent of the quick what full sun employees western economic conditions here in queens to us saying dream same's say. if the government want to listen to the people words the authors will be full of are people not there were uprising or there would be a lot of violence in the streets the people said that when that turning out into the streets and then millions and the government continues to push ahead with the taste measures when they deign to have democracy anymore the government is trying to govern but the people refuse to be governed in this way every day that disconnect becomes more and more dangerous is that a peaceful path of the reef tops and athens really a world away from what's been happening on the streets recently the question a lot of people you know skiing is just when will clean sweep. lenny when he was on

the street. that is already past that point that's a lot of people and i was. on the streets of athens when a violent protests hit the capital you can read all about the revolt that's being golf in greece on her blog you can find that when i website at r.t. dot com. greece is seeking a twelve billion euro from the e.u. and the international monetary fund but european parliament member david campbell bannerman banning the euro is the only way the nation can survive. the question now is we throwing good money after money you know how many billions can you throw at this you know the tolerance of the people for carts for extra taxes as we see in greece. where there's trouble in spain and ireland particularly i think it's in

major trouble the euro and i have been saying for some time i do believe it will collapse and thoughtful socially and probably quite shortly but to be honest i think it is a political prism for countries such as greece and spain and they need to be liberated from their prison recreate their own currencies have devaluation make their exports cheaper make it easier for tourists to visit their countries and they'll get back on their feet i think they should go back to the drachma i think they need to get out the euro it is a prison for them and to recreate the drachma i know there are no plans at present to do that but of course they can't sort of. actually i think that is the salvation for greece and that's the way it really should go but obviously that's a matter for the greek people. so they're headed this hostage to conflict with the government invested so much into the war in libya something. victory is the only

acceptable end to the campaign. missing a russian writer used to getting that's right it's real. in jail. tens of thousands of candles have been there ten former soviet republics today to commemorate the twenty seven million people who died fighting against me on this day seventy years ago nazi troops invaded the soviet union the great patriotic war the bloodiest of nations history thousands. regionals at four am in the time when the german army first attacked the ceremony was also held in the secure resting i don't want to run to the first offensive about the nazis deployed on the radio heavy artillery and weaponry on the breast fortress of failed to break the several resistance. isn't best for us.

these days seventy years. makes you know something even. wrong. but you can also. see. that it's even remotely. about yourself not knowing how to keep. up. with the soviet. most poignant. sweet. resistance which. weeks. thousand people managed to leave the towers. yes but most of them were killed she was to.

the point of the loss of. not too long though some reports even suggest that isolated resistance was an accountant even if he. was with shows like the one etched with a knife on the wall you dying but i won so rhonda knows he was. well that looking back seventy years since germany's invasion of the soviet union leading british historian dr michael jones tells r t it was the great patrick ism of the soviet people that helped win the war. i believe there was just the science or the technical side germany could very well have won it either a nine hundred forty one or nine hundred forty two but it was love of the model and it was this extraordinary determination to carry on fighting that the germans

underestimated it was a. profound patcher to them that the red army recovered from the initial crisis realized it was a battle for survival and what was at stake was not just the communist system but russia as a country and the soviet union was in the boardroom and it really did become a lot it will the germans they were carried away by their own success their previous successes blitzkrieg lightning war and they believe that if they hammered the route on the front here it would all be. that they underestimated the red army and they underestimated the soviet union. and you can see the full interview with dr michael johns in twenty minutes. well now to our top story now the black boxes of the airplane that crashed in russia's republic of korea killing forty four people are being decoded in moscow eight

survivors remain in hospital fighting for their lives. to the side to all the disaster for tea and we'll talk about the investigation in a moment but the human cost a terrible time for the relatives. that's right to carry the family says the survivors as well as the victims are making their way or go are going to be making their way to where there are family members are there but they've been provided with. help psychological help that is if they need it and also here at the crash site itself has been the identification of the bodies continue we are told that several have already been identified but there have still been a lot of body parts recovered that late last night for wreckage they still have to identify quite a number of bodies now three of the survivors are still in the local hospital while a five of them have been flown to a moscow now the family members we are expecting them to come today there is

supposed to be a plane to take them to but there is a void explained be a bit of a delay this accident happened on monday night they say that most of the families don't actually live in moscow they live in a region surrounded moscow now the locals here are also dealing with their own grief and. i would say they've been coming here late last night bringing flowers to the site after all it was the witnesses the locals living right by the road where the plane had crashed that had been a first at the scene. first. then we heard a man screaming. around to my house. but we've been talking to some of those people who were living in the houses right next to the crash site even the amana living in the house where the plane actually had

landed them for most of them what really haunts them is the memory of people crying for help they do all believe that there were more people alive when the plane had crashed because of explosions that followed the initial one only eight had managed to survive the accident. turning to the investigation one of the main theories. well of course it's still very early stages initial theories that. based on a statement that had been given. by the. investigators say that they are looking at all possible avenues one of the statements made by the local airport. they said that they had. to make. but he said. these are all based on the statements made by the black box itself. takes us official say so investigators don't want to stick to one theory they're looking at several

possibilities. a commercial plane that would have landed on schedule ended up in pieces and inflames this tuple of one three four carrying fifty two people from moscow to northwestern russia on a road around a kilometer from the runway narrowly missing a row of houses and killing forty four on board airport officials say the plane hit a high voltage power line that cut off lights on the runway which also knocked out the electricity. to check the electric transformer. explosion. scene of the. damage we could see. around the field. where here at the side with a total of one three four. and as you can see behind me there's

a lifting parts of the plane the man living here was first on the scene because the plane had landed right in front of his home. three people. then there was a man. who was launched. in the middle of the road. everything started exploding i could not get any closer everything was engulfed by fire so very. among the eight survivors were a young boy his teenage sister and their mother five had been flown to moscow for medical treatment initial reports point to human error and bad weather conditions at the time as possible causes of the crash ground staff at the local airport claimed they had asked the pilot to make a second approach but he said he'd make it the first time however investigators say

there are several theories and nothing has been ruled out just yet so arson investigators continue their work at the site of the tragedy the debris there is spread across a three hundred meter radius the flight recorder has already been found communication recordings are being analyzed forensic analysis is being carried out we're looking into several versions of what caused the tragedy and these include the human factor such as an air of the crew or the ground services severe weather conditions technical failure and several other potential causes this is the twenty eighth crash involving a tuple of one three four tarnishing its reputation even more in two thousand and seven russia's transport minister called the aircraft obsolete and should be replaced within five years but some would argue that in most plane crashes human error place the biggest part of the name was and which i don't think anything would go wrong with the plane itself in forty years of operation that you pull of one

three four has proved an extremely reliable aircraft in previous catastrophes human error was always to blame and the same is true here the pilot should have made a second landing approach this is exactly what happened to the polish presidential airplane while investigators work on the case relatives of the victims and survivors are dealing with their own grief one shared by the people of beth as avoids declaring three days of mourning tesser sylvia r.t.e. in the russian region. the u.s. says tightening financial sanctions on the libyan government there are calls in america to extend the nato summit to a campaign to as much as a year meanwhile the military intervention has caused dozens of civilian deaths but this lawrence davidson says the u.s. and nato have made themselves hostages to conflict. what is causing to question is the original justification for american intervention which was humanitarian

my own personal opinion is that that was always a just a media story for our domestic consumption you cannot enter being anywhere with this level of munitions and not kill civilians so ok you're going to protect civilians by intervening with the type of munitions that cannot avoid killing civilians i'm think that nato and its commanders and the president and the politicians involved in this are beyond a point of no return so they simply cannot stop in terms of their own mind what they've invested in this and therefore they will end up doing whatever is necessary to secure victory in libya and they will project media stories to cover it. for all the latest news from the get go to our website that sati dot com. say

warrant was issued by the prosecutors and it's the prosecutor's office that should be on string questions about him which is providing the cells where he's being held and prosecutors however aren't keen on admitting that responsibility in fact they're trying to avoid admitting anything at all when they don't have the most prosecutor general's office does not confirm nor deny the arrest of mr buy gear of those attempts at stonewalling would have been effective had the russian consulate staff not gone in physics at the men in prison would you consider on the twenty first of june that consular employees from the russian embassy most do visited big here if he did not express any complaints about his living conditions or the way the investigation was going he's using the services of a qualified private moldovan lawyers currently an investigation is being carried out by motive in a third it's in accordance with a court decision he'll be held for thirty days the embassy is money story in the

ago and find out why hitler's forces failed to stop the business with. very scary hello and a warm welcome to business but he's been steadily flowing out of russia for the last nine months due to risk aversion among global investors and you state backed investment fund as part of the effort to reverse that trend and encourage foreign capital to take a longer view of course want to look cool caught up with the c.e.o. of the new fund. the st petersburg economic forum he started by asking him how the fund would. there's a basic idea behind a fund to spur investment because actual budget meets a chairman of michigan on bain myself and some other key people who traveled around the investors of the world and we asked them how would you invest much more into the russian economy and basically they said that they would like to invest more but they need to come up with barker because for many people that will be their first

investment the russians and if you have a partner so we're investment is a basic ideas of funds we'll invest in projects but it can invest in projects only if at least the same amount of money is going vested by the leading international investor in the project to swap you what's the broad a purpose of this fund what is it to achieve i think many investors feel that is the wrist sort of a perception gap between real risk situation in russia and how some investors perceive it and you know we can go into the history of fed but everybody agrees that the resists perception gap that basically investors think it's more difficult and more risky to invest in russia as an actual it is so defiant it will be a partner in that they need the partner at the field look comfortable making investment and it's very similar for example if you invest in a rig in china you know would you invest on your own would you like the part that was the chinese fund so we're just making it easier to find a partner and we share the risk because russian state will be for investment was

zero semesters why should a guarantee be necessary isn't the kind of admission that there is a genuine interest that there are problems that call and be fixed fonts legs this funds that invest a lot in domestic economy exist in many countries and it's very important because many conscious france and pretty much all of the countries they want money to be invested inside if they want to make sure that instead companies grow inside so it's not something incredibly unique that we have doing is ten billion dollars going to be enough while first of all been all going to get ten billion up from we're going to get two billion each year for the next five years and we believe it's. a good way to start chinese investment corporation because three hundred billion dollars to manage. two hundred fifty billion dollars to management so that small the largest lump in the world but for what it is designed to do which is to bring international best risk into russia we believe that it will really war going to sufficient amount of money to showcase forty very successful investment examples

killed in the fight against hitler's troops on this day seventy years ago see invasion of the soviet union and least the bloodiest conflict in the region's history which became known as the great. for next we talked to a british historian the author dr michael jones well known for his books on world war two he told r.t. what motivated the hitler's decision to invade the soviet union seventy years ago want to help the soviet troops win the war. today marks the seventieth anniversary of the start of operation barbarossa hitler's code name for germany's invasion of the save the union it became the largest ever military operation both in terms of resources deployed and also in casualties dr michael jones's new book tells the story of the red told me during

the second world war dr james thank you for talking to r.t. today now let's start from the beginning of operation why did decide to invade the u.s.s.r. always wanted to invade the soviet union the reason he gave out was that the soviet union would actually attack germany i think the evidence for that in nineteen forty one it's flights underneath that justification to his military were two main factors the first was hitler's hatred of communism bolshevism and that was what he really put out to you or that it was a crusade against bolshevism bolshevism was a man that needed to be destroyed but underneath the real truth about this war was race hatred and if one reads mind hitler's book it's clear that he always wanted to carve out a living space. and use the experience of people.
