athens on fire and protesters marching on the greek parliament in a violent display against deep austerity cuts would have to be approved to secure entry of bailout also. reconsidered on the program a little. in the very. long prosecutors in the hague call on libya to turn over colonel gadhafi for allegedly killing civilians who were aboard from the coastal city of brega recently razed to the ground by nato bombs. just say claims that a full tiller heading for gaza is carrying chemical weapons to use against soldiers are just these rails attempt to undermine the aid mission.
2:01 pm
ten pm in the russian capital you're watching r.t. thanks for joining us now to our top story violent clashes are broken out in greece during a massive a nationwide strikes hundreds of thousands of workers are protesting ahead of a parliamentary vote on a harsh supped of tax hikes and spending cuts all right police have detained eighteen people so far and four policemen have been hospitalized with injuries twenty eight billion euros worth of cuts are needed before the e.u. agrees to have greece another bailout well it's considered the country's last resort to avoid becoming the first eurozone nation to default but both the costs and the high interest of bailout are the unpopular illustrated by the fact that
2:02 pm
police. yes clashed with protesters and fired tear gas very good bass marks on parliament i spoke to a national journalist because the boss says i think it's a government has left no doubt. it's gotten pretty bad and i wouldn't say that all these protesters represent anywhere near the greek population they're much worse than they were on the fifteenth of june and as far as i've seen they're much worse than anything we've seen before the police got a truly violent day tear gas all the people in. those in the incarceration square even people that are in there in the private sector who don't stand to lose specifically have started measures there are not a fan of these measures because it's not just about cutting the public sector it's also about privatizing liquidating the the nation liquidating the national assets selling off. public companies at liquidation prices and stands collateralize ing national assets national resources so of course not to stand for theirs it doesn't
2:03 pm
offer anyone you kind of future here ok well if they're not going to accept it and the government seems to be keen on still pushing for getting a bailout what's the deciding factor here where's the tipping towards at this point . unfortunately the government isn't giving anyone any real options and that's the problem the a certain measure of popular wildly unpopular amongst everyone in this in this country but at the same time they're not giving us any real solution that is getting the threats you have our v.p. you came out yesterday he was misspoke and he said. we have a fault the return of the drug could be chaos we have thanks to the street and he may be he may be right but that's only because this government isn't providing a real solution so the way i see it as it stands right now is the fault he's been inevitable option and i think i think that people are fed up with you here in general that's the major major feeling and they want a return to something some sort of national economy where they can implement a policy that benefits them because right now they understand the under financial
2:04 pm
corporation which is what this is and they're not going to be able to get out of it as long as the e.u. the you see the troika are working together to bankrupt this country. tina a columnist for now that's newspaper believes the bailout package is a catastrophic solution backed only by a desperate readership george stop on the who has lost legitimacy in the greys and as a prime minister he's a dead man walking i've been on their present from the european union is tremendous . blackmail i guess that we could go over men because they say that unless see you vote for this outrageous below the moral enough and there will be no more chaos and greece who will be left for. my petrol opinion is the this is a bluff from the european union because if we agree some goes before then we'll have a go i guess the euro. will be
2:05 pm
a disaster for european union at large but unfortunately our government has not been there on the golden globes and this is the difficult part of the story because you see the memorandums and there was very good packages result is. that the golden eggs both development and this is unsustainable the struggle in athens to keep the euro alive has some nations who have long wanted to join the e.u. asking. is it even worth it archy's tom parker reports that yuki turkey is in the asia minor not in europe so he's police is not in so if you're in union turkey started seeking integration with europe in the one nine hundred fifty s. and was made me you can see that in one thousand. and since then firms in germany have remained opposed continued stalling. key. european union. have actually stalled the.
2:06 pm
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 ourselves 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 under challenge but with the inclusion of turkey in the european union and 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 time lazing joining less with frustration and more with relief frankly given. the state of the
2:07 pm
european union right now is the inability of taking decisions. fragile situation the rising racism and islam a phobia 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 but its neighbors in recent years that sealed impressive results trade and making turkey a leader in regional diplomacy if we want to. combine our. power with. this i think we should look at. the bosphorus behind me has long been seen as a bridge between east and west but with turkey increasingly pushed away by europe
2:08 pm
over here and pull towards the middle east in asia over here turks no longer see all their hopes but looking west tamasin are see istanbul turkey. libya says the international criminal court is just a cover for nato attempts to kill colonel gadhafi and refuses to recognize its legitimacy all this came in response to the issuing of arrest warrants for gadhafi or two of his confidants including his eldest son by the hague tribunal the chief i.c.c. prosecutor has admitted that nato forces have no mandate or rescue and called off his inner circle to assist however many libyans believe in nato leaders should also be held to account for their actions. the road from the capital tripoli to greg is lined with the aftermath of war towns abandoned as the population fled the bombardment. this is what's left of the civilian airport in the siege of. home to one of the country's key oil refineries the last plane took off from this runway
2:09 pm
just hours before it was hit. in space and it's only heating the targets of military value the call say based telecommunications power so if to stop it. that's been destroyed in a time so i gather this is a site they've been strikes and they've also accidentally burned to cause i've killed two civilians since there is no t.v. in this area and as we can see the phone light has also been disrupted. there is no water and no. what used to be heaven this man says has become hell i suppose home and for me here. i have nine children and i send them all to my relatives abroad i don't want them to see their mother in such a condition. families small pool not far from drug or even gas used to flow to europe. we used to produce fuel to send it to them and now see they
2:10 pm
destroy it all this is terrible and ridiculous at the same time. the closer you get to the frontline the more you feel it you can hear the war and you can even read it to sleep says jobs just before the bombers arrive. this runs as you can see the reason sign here in arabic but nato is here to leave it through in force and also its own 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 at any time. any time happened three times over several hours while we were filming. regulator's major point is where the frontline buys dividing the country into two parts into two swear one side is the fight on flashpoint within the rubble of his forces it's a very important point is that it's a quotation getting a firm hand on this town would mean taking control over the country's economy. all
2:11 pm
facilities seem to be a rare target of nato bombs never land on while it looks like the civilian population can hardly scape. they were like my family actually had just gone to the shop to buy some food and this happened six of them died i couldn't believe it and this used to be a restaurant company staff where friends gathered after work we were eating with my colleagues and there was a boom we knew what was we run we tried to help those who were strapped down the helicopters came to and still object to shoot us as if they didn't want us to save our friends from one street to another the stories are repeating. our problem only with. the food. there's a man every day every day bending and they killed our civilians. from this country
2:12 pm
this is probably well those voices become more and more frequent is the sound of exploding bombs and warplanes drowns them. out t. tripoli. as in syria should be resolved through dialogue and once the violence to stop well it comes as a russian president for a long void met with syrian opposition leaders in moscow and artie's peter all over has the details. 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's 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 violence in the country now they've
2:13 pm
spoken with him because of my senior russian diplomats when it comes to this part of the world and he put forward russia's opinion on this because it's in our interests that there are forums announced by the syrian government are put into action by the medical dialogue is important for us we should put an end to all forms of violence and armed clashes as soon as possible the political crisis in syria should be resolved by a political dialogue. saying 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 were very disappointed with the the way that foreign intervention has progressed they said that they russia and no circumstances will be backing any form of foreign intervention in syria they want to see peace coming through discussion and diplomacy. by israel says an international aid flotilla headed to gaza is carrying
2:14 pm
chemical weapons which could be used on soldiers israeli defense force has been ordered to prevent the ten ships from making it to the palestinian territories and the jewish state warned it will want another test of the traits walking out of gaza but has withdrawn threats to ban any journalists traveling with the fleet for more on this we're joined from washington d.c. by palestinian peace activists. thank you very much mr selfridge joining us now how likely is the israeli claim. chemicals on the flotilla. i think what's happening now is also a propaganda war more than the actual flotilla reaching to get as or now reaching the goals and so last of little as we remember last may there was a fatal results of of the israelis coming on board of these of these ships and it was a it was a very bad thing image wise and media wise for israel now claiming that there is
2:15 pm
chemical weapons on those ships in case of invading those ships which is what the israeli army is planning to do and having any any people killed it will help the image of israel in saying we thought that there is some chemical weapons but it is really unlikely specially considering that the greeks have the authority which is where the ships leaving from to go and check those ships and nothing have have been found ok well it is easy or else foreign minister says those are the flotilla are seeking confrontation and blood as you mentioned earlier but what happened last year we about to witness a repeat of what happened with nine activists were killed by israeli troops. yes and it's very unfortunate i think i think it's much better for israel and for israel image to allow this flotilla to arrive safely and together it's known that there is no weapons on it and again israel has a good relationship with degrees a very good relationship with degrees and can search every one of those ships can
2:16 pm
make sure that there are no weapons on those ships instead of having another confrontation that at the end will hurt israel image and not help israel image internationally how do at the end of the day looking at the reaction from both sides do you think this is really about provoking israel rather than helping palestinians. i think this is the people who are going to have little or more about creating awareness of what's happening in gaza and they and israel actually stopping the flotilla helps the mission of this group they are it's it is a humanitarian thing and there are different people and there are different groups part of it so some of them are there for humanitarian reasons some of them are probably there for provocation and some of them are there to raise awareness of the reality of life in gaza and of the one and a half million people who have been for a few years now and able to receive what they need to be able to live ok well whatever the reason of the people article tell of is it worth the risk of possible death. nothing is worth the risk of death and i think
2:17 pm
that's where the two sides have to come to agreement i think israel and people in the flotilla should engage in some kind of discussion of how to get this going and that's where i believe as well should allow and certainly of agreement maybe boarding the ship and searching to make sure there are no weapons allowed those ships to arrive to gaza in a way that doesn't does not hurt israel's security nothing is worth the best that could have and i think any confrontation is going to hurt everybody ok their calls for israel to open gaza's borders this is a new now the european union's foreign policy chief was one of the people to push for that at this point do you think israel will recenter the international community. i think there will ease at the moment. research and. things going to go as they have in the recent times also the egyptians opening the border recently have made the pressure and israel a little less the main question is can cain goes
2:18 pm
a receive things like through water through the sea and until now israel has been completely open for the reality of it because i can use that sport with more pressure from the europeans maybe more pressure from the us which it hasn't been using and that could be possible but not any time in the near future not as long as hamas is going to allowing. all right thank you very much for your thoughts of peace activists. thank you. the us a suit of michigan is giving up a prize asset to find a way out of its economic woes and it appears to have decided democracy is too expensive unelected financial managers have taken the place of elected officials and given a free hand to make decisions on checked r.t. somebody report takes a look. at. the american state known for its greatly has seen the middle class speed and are almost of industry crumble in michigan's poor
