the greek capital is bracing for more violence and made huge protests and a general strike with parliament due to vote on even harsh austerity measures to avoid defaulting on debt. the greek economic turmoil becomes the first challenge for the new i.m.f. chief christine lagarde also faces the tough task of biting off a perception of the organization is biased in favor of western countries. also fears grow that unrest in syria might try to militant group has been to move weapons it's. threatening to stoke up further trouble in the region. and in russia there's a push for better laws to help orphans make their way in the world to feel many of the united states support.

you're watching our team with world news and much more twenty four hours a day welcome to the program budget cuts all bankruptcy tough choice for the greek parliament which is facing a crucial austerity vote european leaders have already warned that there are no other options but thousands of protesters are again expected to vent their fury over the planned measures but at least forty six people were injured as violent clashes and strikes power. lies the country on the eve of the vote hundreds of thousands were on the streets with police using tear gas to disperse them arrests made the e.u. is demanding it twenty eight billion euros with cuts before would be seen yet more funds to greece for journalists. be part of the means greeks are living on the financial key patient. unfortunately the government isn't giving anyone any real options and that's the problem be a certain measure unpopular widely unpopular amongst everyone in this in this

country but at the same time they're not giving us any real solution they're just giving us threats i think people are becoming more for the time the drachma and as i said the drachma is going to solve the problems here but at least with the drag my view you eat up the debt with inflation if you can't control the government spending which is what we were hoping we would achieve with the introduction of the euro we would have low inflation and low government spending so we had low inflation and high government spending so we had massive amounts of debt. i think i think that people are fed up with you here in general that's the major the 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 they're under financial occupation. well the e.u. is trying to blackmail to respond to defeating an austerity ultimatum that's the view of a petraeus papa constantino columnist for the athens based newspaper party really george papandreou has lost legitimacy and agrees and as a prime minister he is

a dead man walking at the moment the pressure from the european union is tremendous we would talk about the blackmail against the greek government because they say that listen you bald for this outrageous there will be no more. greece who will be left before my trial opinion is the this is a bluff from european union because if we agree to goes before then it will have a domino afraid i guess the euro will be a disaster for european union. but unfortunately our government has not been there all of them and this is the difficult part of the story because you see the memorandum sent there was very the package is the result is the. golden eggs of development and this is unsustainable for the greek turmoil is one of the first problems in the in trail you head of the international monetary fund french

finance minister christine lagarde she might have won overwhelming support in the i.m.f. but many analysts think another european boss means more favorable treatment for some countries over others parties and each accountable. christine lagarde appointment keeps a european at the head of the world's top lender keeping the long held tradition intact and in a debt crisis having one of its own chairing the international monetary fund could be more important than ever for europe i think that my. intimate knowledge of those mechanisms. of the european community and the eurozone of its many leaders can help the guards main competitor was augustine carstens from mexico who argued her appointment would only add to the perception of i.m.f. bias there could be some conflict of interest i mean up in those a good day now the main borel's institution will be europe so we'll have

a situation where they will rule or stormin eighteen to create thirty institutional emerging economies the engine of global growth in recent years are vastly under represented in the organization with the u.s. and europe holding half of the votes in veto power carsten said he knew he had lost even before he announced he was running the fooling myself i mean it's like starting a soccer game with the five to see who will score and always suggest i am have bias has had a negative effect on the world's economy if you look back at the way that rescue packages and other loans have been made in the history of i.m.f. lending it is very clear that decisions are primarily bullet to go based on the interests of the united states or europe and the i.m.f. lends money monitors the global economy and in theory at least prevents crises its credibility has been shattered by the financial collapse in the advanced economies

which it definitely did not spot they missed the two bigger biggest asset bubbles in the history of the world first the stock market bubble in the us in the late ninety's and then of course the housing bubble. states which you from two presenter and i think they didn't want to go against all their friends on wall street and others there were making a fortune at the time some experts see the intimacy between the i.m.f. and u.s. corporations as a matter of concern there's always been an unhealthy relation. ship between the big banks and the financial sector wall street and the us treasury department in the us by extension the i.m.f. all of the big decisions that are made by the u.s. treasury department then you had of the i.m.f. is more than familiar with the u.s. corporate world for years she worked at

a major american law firm representing the interests of big business and is a member of the u.s. poland defense industry working group advanced the interests of a view giants like boeing and lockheed martin helping them to seal multi-billion dollar deals the u.s. and europe found christine legarde the best fit for the job so did several emerging markets including russia and china but she faces the difficult task of appearing independent despite her past and will struggle not to cement even further the perception that the i.m.f. exists only for the benefit of its creditors i'm going to check our reporting from washington r.t. . if you will head to our website so we've got more analysis of what christine the gods appointment is going to mean in terms of global finance expert opinion on that . basis for the dot com. well nato has extended its operation in libya for three more months one that it's

not going to scale down its mission of daily airstrikes that's as opposition to the operation continues with protests in london by antiwar activists. a demonstration that comes amid reports of growing civilian casualties escalating costs and their end in sight to the bloody conflict aaa says more than eight hundred civilians have been killed as a result of the airstrikes. already poured more than two hundred million dollars into the campaign and risks that doubling battlefield aeration drags on throughout the summer peace activists say it's time nato was brought to account by the saudis where they and the people are suffering more and more the ordinary people of libya and at the very least the question of. fighting in this no fly zone in this intervention and should be calling for an end to it now and calling for serious political negotiations that. pile into

insignificance beside george bush. in iraq and afghanistan and elsewhere. the professor of international studies at the trinity college in hartford told r.t. of his belief that the nato operation is aimed at weakening libya. i do you know. to me you know all was going to begin to be a storm a u.n. resolution within a few hours of the war beginning with the french and american strike. had already violated the narrative that you would. look like libya is simply being. being a hundred years of attacks went before i was in store peace you know there is a very gradually being a point of reading of libya to the extent where gadhafi is an ally and then.

you know he's being made into what he wants giant somalia. now israel has deployed new missile defense systems there its border with lebanon fearing strikes from his we know there's a mr group that doesn't want its longtime ally syrian president bashar al assad to be toppled and there's also speculation it might be willing to divert western pressure away from him by launching a war against israel t's'pol asli reports on how the delicate balance in the region could spill further out of control. things are quiet on the israel lebanon border but many suspect it's a lull before the storm everything hinges on what happens in neighboring syria and what hizbollah decides to do with its stockpiles there and the opposition group that might take over in syria. definitely consider feasible lies and then the me is a threat so for hizbullah it's the mass the most logical thing to do all

to transfer the weapon they put in syria. including to to to to lebanon for years hizbollah found an ally in syrian president bashar assad and so it's no surprise they want him to stay in power but if he goes and those who pressurising him to do so would do well to remember this the regional impact could be terrifying syria are like libya is part of an alliance and that alliance is very wide it begins in iran some elements in iraq's government are part of the syrian regime hezbollah in lebanon and hamas in gaza western intelligence reports suggest hizbullah has already started moving some of its advanced weaponry from its warehouses in syria to its forces in lebanon for fear that assad will be toppled but getting rid of him is one thing dealing with the consequences quite another situation in syria very volatile dangerous collapse the

syrian government could be gender group regional stability that could include a new war between lebanon and israel already the weapons hizbullah has in its position are able to strike almost any corner of the jewish state the new stockpiles in lebanon would only aggravate an already tense situation as far as we know hizbullah has now accumulated around forty five thousand missiles of various ranges. there is run of all part of them that in fact the range goes beyond three hundred and about three hundred fifty kilometers which according to them at least they can reach the whole of israel until a lot in the south of the country which is something israelis know these missiles originated in syria they found their way to lebanon and then they were fired by his beloved onto the jewish state back in two thousand and six this museum was set up about a decade ago so that the i.d.f. could display weapons ammunition and items that are captured from israel's enemies

on the ground and almost administrate the lebanese palestinian and hizbollah flags flying on the israeli border the message is clear here no country is immune to what happens to its neighbor and it won't take much to turn the region's precarious peace into on our wall policy r.t. israel. well israel is also reading itself for trouble on the other side of the country as a humanitarian for terrorists preparing to sell for gaza israeli military is saying it will block any attempt to breach it seabrook eight of the palestinian territories but they have the right to stop the activists they just addition cross-talk people are balinese guests take on this polarizing issue. there is a chance that they are carrying weapons that they are carrying terrorist we saw that in last year's flotilla there were armed mercenaries aboard the turkish guards and your ship mavi marmara which lynch to try cylinder israeli soldiers. holding a lot. removed because it was

keep telling us true parents him how to live here they showed me a paper on how to build a house i told them that i had no funds i have no job i have to take care of kids and i ended up renting a place they said it's not top problem lena grew up in an orphanage in the city of to be on the russian law she should have received state housing once she left the institution this flood was given to lena's mother by the state and despite having no money she's been told to fix it up but. there's a tradition of absolutely desperate they didn't give me work because i don't have a profession for them i don't exist perhaps hanging myself would be the best thing to do. without even the most basic of a mean ities there's no way that lena family can live here however here is exactly where the authorities have told her that she should bring up the children lena's

case isn't unusual to those who work with oftens in russia say that it's when they leave the care homes that they need the most help the problem is orphans our kids are of smaller you know when they're little and everybody loves to help them with their small but presence that. whereas in actual fact they've got bigger than me but they get me there and that's really when we need to be standing beside them housing is one of those big a need for all things leaving care it's also in short supply and which we made certain calculations for one region and found out that it would take a child who's number in the queue for housing is ten thousand some three and a half thousand years to actually get a flash. currently only administer. penalties can be imposed on anyone standing in the way of those leaving care getting housing alexander gears a loaf form often him self as a campaigner for orphans rights he wants to see the courts more involved he will

have the q my son we need to change the law in a way to make sure that someone can be held responsible in court in this case the orphanage this will make sure that there is no way a graduating orphan would have to go and live in a rundown home and a change in the law might help people in the future but lena needs to find a solution right now. i'll ask them why all the mothers are given homes to raise their children why can't i have that it isn't because i don't know the laws or because i'm not allowed to live because it's forbidden for me to have family some people are trying to help me but to file their efforts have been in vain. peter all over r.t. very. well there's a plenty more ahead here on our next hour some extreme action from our sports desk competitions where excitement and danger go hand in hand we report on that one of the meanest most thrilling sports and planet cliff diving. looks
