all. men. athens on fire protesters marched on the greek parliament in a violent display against deep austerity cuts which have to be approved to secure and. also. reconsidered by the problem of real need very well prosecutors in the hague called on libyans to turn over colonel gadhafi for a bunch of the killing civilians we report from the coastal city of bragg recently razed to the ground by nato bombs. and activists say claims that a flock to one heading from gaza is carrying chemical weapons to use against soldiers are just israel's attempt to undermine the mission of.

god from our studios in central moscow if you're watching are you with me and you so now way it's six pm here in the russian capital while an clashes have broken out in greece during massive nationwide strikes hundreds of thousands of workers are protesting ahead of a parliamentary vote on a harsh set of tax hikes and spending cuts twenty eight billion euro worth of cuts are needed before the e.u. agrees to hand greece another cast doubt it's considered to be the country's last resort to avoid becoming the first eurozone nations fault but both the cots and the high interest bailout are deeply unpopular for the five thousand police have been deployed for the march on parliament young as. its lecturer at the university of athens believes the greek crisis is

a result of the glaring flaws in the us. i don't believe this is a. good again. he's been pushed into parliament and even worse than that our freedom to our own fishnets even those who are voting for those measures do not believe in these animal atheists who are crossing themselves hoping for a miracle but a loud mouth run was passed one year ago in may of two thousand and ten and it failed spectacularly thinks logic was false and its application made the problem worse for them because. meanwhile i'm afraid much afraid the deficit is emerging a deficit of political legitimacy both in the service companies like germany and holland i mean that the office of counters like greece and ireland the government isn't the frontier for this is a prime minister who only about ten days ago tried to fall on his sword and missed he was prepared to resign. if he's that their hopes that he goes to sleep every

night with that he will manage tool to the whole thing together because he's a steady through parliament today and tomorrow then go to brussels secure a massive new loan come back i am completely saying that he's either going to go on the basic you're in the zone it can be no solution for the get broken in a big bend and plea of a solution for you a system crisis which is that he should hand if you continue to see that you can see this as a good one i'm a very much afraid it will be no europe in the next year or so and i think the choice we have is european says between letting the euro go and only go on clarence's or fixing the euro. that the struggle in athens to keep me here alive has some nations who have long wanted to do i leave you asking a new question is it worth it the parts of turkey turkey is in asia minor or not in europe through peaceful ways is not inside the european union turkey started seeking integration with europe in the one nine hundred fifty s. and was made a u.

kand in one nine hundred ninety nine but since then from some germany have remained opposed continually stalling negotiations turkey. and european union. have actually stalled. relationship for such a long time that the turkish public is tired of it the main reason turks think the europeans don't want them immigration first will they come and still like the polish plumber there. and second well they threaten us culturally but others see the real fear in paris and berlin as a loss of political power and this sort of french german condominium is already on the challenge but with the inclusion of turkey in the european union it

would be totally impossible to sustain now embroiled in economic crisis the e.u. isn't as strong as it once seemed turks are starting to view the delays in joining less with frustration and more with relief frankly given. the state the european union right now is the inability of taking decisions the. fragile situation of the rising racism and islamophobia in many countries. it's it's becoming less and less attractive turkey is no longer waiting for europe to change its mind instead many speak of the axis of turkish interest shifting from west to east it's pursued a no problems policy with its neighbors in recent years that's yielded impressive results boosting trade and making turkey a leader in regional diplomacy if we want to. combine our.

power with others. votes for us behind me has long been seen as a bridge between east and west but with turkey increasingly pushed away by europe over here and pull towards the middle east in asia over here turks no longer see all their hopes for looking west to martin r.t. istanbul turkey. but in a few minutes we'll be discussing an unlikely savior from the east for their up stay with us. live from moscow bureau of authority we've got more news stories coming up for you this hour. rashomon is kind of authority to prove the united states in that era before it was taking democracy away from us citizens r.t. looks at how one american town has lost its elected officials.

the first libya says the international criminal court is just a cover for nato attempts to kill colonel gadhafi and refuses to recognize its legitimacy came in response to the year showing up arrest warrants for gadhafi and two of his confidants by the hague tribunal and many libyans believe nato leaders should also be held to account for their actions. the road from the capital tripoli to brag or he's lined with the aftermath of war towns abandoned as the population fled and widened. this is what's left of the airport and the siege of a new home to one of the country's key oil refineries the last plane took off from this runway just hours before it was hit. to say so it's only hitting the targets of military value the call say based telecommunications tower so fifteen minutes west of. has been destroyed in a time like this is a safe two strikes and they've also have succumbed. to cause and killed

two civilians and there is no t.v. in this area and as we can see phone ride has also been disrupted. there is no water and no lights recently what used to be having this man says has become hell was home now susan for me here. have nine children and i send them all to my relatives abroad i don't want them to see their motherland in such a condition. from least small pool not far from drug even gas used to flow to europe. we used to produce feel to send it to them and no see they destroy it all this is terrible and ridiculous at the same time the closer you get to the front line the more you feel it you can hear the war and you can even read it on nature's leaflet jobs just before the bombs arrive. this runs as you can

see the reason sign here in arabic that nato is relieved to inform us and i'll fly zone over the country to protect civilians on the other side there is another sign also in arabic saying that they took an attack any place any time. any time happened three times over several hours while we were filming. it was the front of the country to turn into to see. if the for one flashpoint within the rubble. it's a very important point to case in. this town would mean taking over the country's economy. all facilities seem to be a rare target. never land on. the civilian population can hardly state they were like my family that had just gone to the shops to buy some foods and this

happened six of them died i couldn't believe it. and this used to be a restaurant company star where friends gathered after work we were eating with my colleagues and there was a boom we knew what that was we ran we tried to help bruce was trapped then the helicopters came to see you and still cheat to shoot us as if he didn't want us to save your friends. from once to each other stories are a. real concern of our problem although we don't need a million interfere larry and i thought there's really not an every day every day one being a good kid our civilians. from this country this is probably well those voices and can more more frequent is the sound of exploding bombs and warplanes a drowns them out. cheaply greg. russia says the crisis in syria should be resolved through dialogue and once the

violence to stop it comes as russia's president will envoy to africa met with syrian activists here in moscow are things clear over hasn't happened. it's important to stress that this isn't any fishel visit from the syrian opposition although members of the group they do call themselves syrian opposition in attendance here in moscow is also people from n.g.o.s and human rights groups now they've come to the russian capital to go in russia to put more pressure on president assad the syrian leader to stop the violence in the country now they've spoken with mikhail margelov a senior russian diplomats a very experienced member of the the foreign ministry when it comes to this part of the world and he put forward russia's opinion on this we've seen because really it's in our interests that there are forums announced by the syrian government are put into action the political dialogue is important for us we should put an end to

all forms of violence and armed clashes a soonest cost. if a little crisis in syria should be resolved by a political dialogue. say that russia would be vehemently opposed to any form of foreign intervention into the situation ongoing in syria they definitely do not want to see a repeat of the violence that we have in libya at the moment and we're very disappointed with the way that foreign intervention has progressed they said that russia and no circumstances will be backing any form of foreign intervention in syria they want to see peace coming through discussion and diplomacy. one unexpected friend could step in to help prop up the euro china is offering to open up its mammoth three trillion dollar foreign reserve buy up european debt. made the offer during his tour of europe that's why they believe beijing which has been accumulating trash faster than it can spend it has decided to diversify away from

the u.s. debt but the move has prompted fears the economic sovereignty of the e.u. could be compromised some critics even suggest the ongoing currency war between the us and china is the real motivation behind the offer of a more i'm just what's behind china's our firm we're now to admire by john france why do you need your president is a center a think tank in paris that's china even with its massive reserves really have the financial capacity to pull the eurozone out of this. well probably the china has the capacity now does it have the real will and can it really do it in a very short amount of time the and so it's probably no if you look at the reserves the trainer has also. gone what any country. would need the china reserves currently are clues to be three thousand

million through three thousand billion u.s. dollars. but if all sixty to seventy percent of them are in dollars and only twenty to twenty five percent are in heroes but when we see. who all them do all the all they're in the form of european that probably. sue are and this is already done now with a china invest even more. rather create an imbalance than any conflicts to do currency creation because when you have a massive flu incoming as was mentioned this could of course create a new violence between the euro and the us dollar so you're not sure that this will cure all different image problems of the eurozone rather i think china has always done things gradually so we do interesting that are here where he's once again tory europe and trying various ways of not helping europe but probably

diversifying the set of china. all right just briefly how will you do you think europeans will be to accept about china. well you know the usual sentence big. truth is. live now of course we. knew insistently surgeons. indeed countries like greece should be portugal for more all of the eurozone because we have to talk about all of the eurozone for two reasons one because it's very difficult to keep it single decision in the eurozone and one country without referring to the other guardian especially in the case of greece which is now run you sort of troika as we see it is you have the simple greg european central bank together with the european. commissioners and

the americans looking at what's happening in greece new single country we think so introduce you to good always trying out and that's one of the call for trying our you know to strike. a deal and the other reason is of course the as much downside as the reason i'm sorry if you remember the crisis in eight china was who is the first each of the investing directly just for the services you defend in full sector and i do get it probably too quickly so this is a really really lame you very much for being with a life raid we've run out of time thanks for being with us from eureka. israel says an international aid thought heading to gaza is carrying chemical weapons that could be used on soldiers the israeli defense force has been ordered to prevent the ten steps from making it to the palestinian territories this is a state as more it will thwart any attempts to breach what kade of the palestinian

territory previously israel was threatening thought to have reporters to be banned from entering the country for ten years later denounced the decision activists and said. almost summer encarta last year says israel indiscriminately at any one. quarter. it's a very known treat you might say four of the israeli army and the israeli government to try to meet the peaceful activists as a lethal and frightening as possible for the public in order to create public opinion against these people and keep on controlling the palestinians they will not let they. come to gaza but will clean up it and it's also what we know from the four of them of the marmora other ones before it and they one that i was on in the jewish vote we also were attacked we were only nine people and we

were all israelis or jews and therefore they didn't use these kind of violence they used against him ok mama they used a different kind of violence a less lethal one the same located that for us israelis or for internationals it's not as lethal in their interests. as it is for the palestinians a palestinian fisherman that wants to go out to fish cannot pass the three miles without getting shot about twenty five percent of the agricultural land of gaza has been taken by a death zone around gaza street from the israeli border of gaza into gaza strip killing every culture of person fisherman. on the sea side or farmer in. killing people. well for more stories from artsy you can always log on to our web site that's our team dot com there you can read about the american tea party presidential candidate who got egg on her face after mixing up
