i'll tell him i'm positive like the hotel before its pleasures and i would print certainly the splined hotel in touch with the hotel and thought you're really a girly girl how would international house floods achieve every green lowering her chill into. the greek capital is braced for more violence thousands gather at the parliament building for a second day of protest hours before lawmakers are to vote on a fresh austerity package. and fears grow that unrest in syria might drive the militant group hezbollah out to move weapons of stored there to london on threatening to stoke up further trouble in the region. also in roseau there's a push for better laws to help orphans make their way in the world as we reveal how many are tonight this state support their entitle to.

buy from our headquarters in central moscow you're watching r t with me and he's not way it's two pm here in the russian capital one pm in athens where the question is budget cuts or bankruptcy a tough choice for the greek parliament which is facing a crucial austerity vote european leaders have already worn out there are no other options protesters are already flocking to the part of the many thousands of them are again venting their fury over the plan measures at least forty six people were injured as violent clashes and strikes paralyze the country on the eve of the vote hundreds of thousands were on the streets with police using tear gas to disperse them and eighteen arrests made the e.u. is demanding twenty eight billion euro worth of cuts before realizing yet more funds releasing i should say more funds to greece but as our chief sara furthur pours even about how. the money is unlikely to make its way into the pockets of the

people. on the streets of athens the voices of discontent the growing louder. it's a war we did not create this tour we're going to pay for this we want to be called large but it continues to fight against economic ruin second bailout. an attempt to prevent greece from defaulting on its previous loan repayments that the greek people will be seeing a penny. of this money actually comes into the greek economy it all goes out interest payments. also battlezone save the banks and prevent a large scale financial crisis for the people the price is simply too high they see their income don't going down they see taxes taxes taxes and nothing else their money does not go to very early a year a struggling against hostile stares he measures and then government now faces an

electorate opposed to another bailout or people here have been saying is that for. the i.m.f. the european central bank and the e.u. the. finance the initial bailout the scene of a hundred and ten billion a year when they'll start looking at ways of continuing to first lend money towards greece i merely concert plan b. is that when it comes to the troika many people now in greece think he didn't want to help him down actions as being cool and to self interest. british you. get as much as they can. get out if they are going to get all of this the. state becoming very proper. they are going to get almost everything. and live the kind of the good people they're going to get in this.

credible but first this tradition but then i would certainly come at a high cost cuts in public spending a raise in taxes and in the quest of privatization program that would mean the sale of many quiett public assets this is robbery this is theft this is legal pynchon on the streets of athens continues to mount violent scenes witness recently disturbing testimony to just how far situations deteriorate is one of the reasons that everybody is so determined to keep greece in the euro is so that the banks don't have to take a serious hit on their faulty lonely policies is almost as if there's a whole other holy alliance of politicians and bankers versus ordinary people it's a fight that the people say they're not prepared to louise. r.t.

athens. well we can now cross live to athens to find out what's going on in front of the greek parliament has been a consumer from the country's civil servants trade union joins us to let us know what's actually happening in the greek capital this being a your in congress where now where people of course are gathering for another round of protests how far are they prepared to go we're hearing that some protesters are actually planning to stop m.p.'s from getting into the parliament building. that's not the point the point is that we will continue the most right thing until a government gets the message and the authority our government and believe the whole european union governments get the message and the message is that these politics don't get us out of surprises we want some other politics to be held or. it's not in my that if we will glorify all of the name the parliament or not is a model for years of people getting out on the streets and shouting that we want to

leave we will leave not bankers right but do you think that the greek the greek m.p.'s are taking public opinion into account i mean people have been protesting for a year now and they're preparing to vote again on these austerity measures hundreds of thousands it looks like people are out on the greek capital are they going to listen to these people. yeah they're trying not to hear us but you know something even if they vote for a these. old fellow in the parliament they will not have many days in the government i think that the group go over and we will be on elections in this country because a you know the socialist party that governs now a his last every. everyone who voted for us all for the socialist by the way they said other things before the elections and they do other things now and not only they do other things all poset thinks but they are leading our country to that that's terrific and that's something we want hillary it's a matter of leaving

a little bit for the people. my country you have to understand that when the market is leaving or there is no government can stop as i did today or tomorrow or two months later if this package is passed what will it mean for the greek people. please if the package the austerity measures are in fact passed today if the vote goes ahead all that mean for very eighty. eight mil or not only for our salaries and pensions that will be van mused but there the way are slow they are going to pay to vote for in the greek parliament is a law that says that everything this their own will will pass to an enterprise which will be and which will have members from the troika the i.m.f. and some greek people so visa enterprise a private enterprise with fitzroy guy inside it will sell everything will sell everything this country own host because with transportation airports.

land even our museums can be on sale. so this is the worst thing we want to eat these low passes and if this law if we don't stop this law we want to be asleep in the morning what about how do you know know this being the people on the streets are opposed to the new budget cuts but what's their solution to all that's happening in the country how do you solve this problem. yes there are many many ways a service problem not only here in greece but in the cold european union in the close european union these days. i want the employees and the working class to pay for this crisis and we say no always say tax the rich people we say don't sell anything that owns this country we say that the public there they say we have to pay it's not our did it we didn't decide about it we

didn't ask about it we didn't. they wouldn't even have to pay for a five percent interest rate when the european. banks with one percent a interest rate so we say that this death is not ours and you know this because i'm wearing says we don't all we've done says we don't pay so this is the solution to our problems we want to pay that they have said we will have a we will try to find out what kind of. these e's and they are how much of this amount of that there was saved by our police business with out us and they gave us what we want right well good luck out there today be careful i know it's expected that police and security forces will in fact disperse these protests will be keeping track of it it's live from athens thank you very much for that thank you . well the economic turmoil in greece will become an early challenge for the new i.m.f.

chief as we report later in the program for you find out what the task kristie of the guard will have to tackle once she takes on the i.m.f. top job in just a few minutes. israel has deployed new missile defense systems near its border with lebanon fearing strikes from hezbollah the islamist group doesn't want its longtime ally syrian president bashar asad to be toppled and there's also speculation it might be willing to divert western pressure away from him i want an attack against israel argues policy reports now 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 their. opposition group put my take over in syria. differently consider is belies an enemy as

a threat. it's the mass of the. logical thing to transfer the weapon they put in syria. including. for years has been 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 a syrian regime hezbollah in lebanon are hamas in gaza western intelligence reports suggest has been or has already started meeting 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. dangerous

collapse the syrian government gender group. 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 hezbollah has now with around forty five thousand missiles of various ranges those run of the part of them the range goes beyond three hundred and well. three hundred fifty kilo because we each according to them at least they can reach the whole of you as well and the salt of the country which is something israelis know these missiles originated in syria they found their way to heaven on and then they were fired by hizbollah 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 ominous through eight the lebanese palestinian and his villa flags flying on the israeli border the mystery is clear here no country's immune to what happens to its neighbor and it won't take much to turn the region's crude carious piece into all out war policy r.t. israel. israel is also reading itself for trouble on the other side of the country has nukes humanitarian front tello is preparing to sell for gaza the israeli military is saying it will block any attempt to breach at sea blockade of the palestinian territory in the latest edition of our class talk show peter the bell and his gas debate this polarizing issue that's coming up next hour for you but here's a preview. 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 motorcade routes and your ship mavi marmara which lynch trying to trace the winter israeli

soldier says it is israel holding the unit there's a lot of the syrian leadership which it was an american citizen from and the same district and it's you know this is the journalism israel's. if you want. the root has vowed to repay its debts for russia's electricity and missed its payment due overnight and moscow has now cut off electrical supply to the country. belarus is suffering one of its worst economic crisis with prices rising and the currency plummeting argy son thomas has more on why the roots is struggling to pay its bills people are panicking making a run on the banks and making a run at any types of goods that they can let me give you a little bit of a hint of the situation on the ground right now because i saw

a profit with the economic minister in the country at a press conference today in minsk said that he is sorry that he did not shoot himself and that he feels personally responsible for the current economic crisis inside the country now these could be comments that are charged to her if you will or made off the cuff but still for someone of that stature to be saying it is such a thing is very troubling to say the least well on the ground inside the country people are going to try and exchange their roubles they're both russian roubles for russian ruble for u.s. dollars but there are no dollars to be found inside the country so they're coming up empty handed the currency itself has a devalued just such an extent that it's pretty much worthless there's a couple of instances where people are fighting over goods trying to get what they can also taxi drivers are say that it costs more for gas than it does for the fares that they're receiving well all of this of course is coming after the election in december where the shekel won with a significant percentage of the boat to watch in fact the international community

is saying that it was staged that it was a fraudulent election now before this election in a move that was considered to be populist leadership to raise the general minimum wage of the country fifty percent and for government employees thirty percent it's this move that speculators say is what devalued the currency on such a level our fellows has tried to go to the i.m.f. going back in may have been the baby way and started the process to try and get a loan they were only asking for about three billion dollars but experts are saying that it's going to take between seven and ten billion u.s. dollars to bring some sort of normalcy inside the country. so right now. very bad situation inside delivers. whether to give that loan to bella ruse that's on mention is likely to be decided by the new head of the international monetary fund french finance minister christine lagarde she has to officially start in the world next week and she might have one overwhelming support in the i am out but many analysts think another european boss means more favorable treatment in some

countries or others just reached reports. 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 it's more. intimate knowledge of those mechanisms. of the european community and the eurozone of its many leaders can help the guard's main competitor was augustine carstens from mexico who argued her appointment would only add to the perception of i.m.f. by its there could be some call for equal thing through i mean the team goes ahead with the no they mean borel's things and pollution would be a rule europe so will have its inclusion were they war or stormin eighteen the pollution 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 and veto power carson 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 rule score and only suggest i am have bias has had a negative effect on the world economy and they would use their monopoly over. to force certain policies. own countries. seize their we're not and their actual interest 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 and the advanced economies which it definitely did not spot they missed the two bigger biggest asset bubbles in the history of the world and. you know which probably has its world economic

outlook every six months and is really in charge of monitoring these kinds of things just 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 us corporations as a matter of concern all of the big decisions that are made by the us treasury department then you had of the i.m.f. . he's 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. coal and defense industry working group advanced the interests of aviation giants like boeing and lockheed martin helping them to seal move to billion dollar deal the u.s. and europe found christine legarde the best fit for the job so did several emerging markets including refract and china but she faces the difficult task of appearing independent despite her past lies 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 hard to. well on our website are two dot com you can have your say on what the appointment of christine legarde will bring let's take a look at how the voting is going right now so far the majority of you think that the new i.m.f. chief will be a pocket controlled by the interest of global corporate interests a third are the power of the view that the organization will be exploited weaker colonies and deepening the crisis and others are split over two opinions either the move will help change the world's financial system or it will set a new independent course for the i.m.f. get involved by logging on to our got com tops of line on what you think about the new head of the i.m.f. . their lives are often blinded by a troubled childhood russian orphans are finding that their problems are often

extended into adulthood too they're entitled to free housing from the government once they leave their care home it was peter all over now reports many of them aren't getting the support they need. dark and dilapidated. this looks more like a prime candidate for demolition than a family home but twenty two year old mother of two lena is being told my social services that she's stuck here. perhaps they haven't seen this place inside they keep telling us true parents have a live here they showed me a paper on how to build a house i told them that i had no phones i have no job i have to take care of kids and i ended up renting the place they said it's not hard problem lino grew up in an orphanage in the city of tire on the russian law she should have received state housing once she left the institution. was given saline his mother by the state and despite having no money she's been told. what the situation is 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 minute there's no way a family can live here however here is exactly where the storage fees of told her that she should bring up children i mean is 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 smaller you know when they're little and everybody loves to help others with presents and things to. whereas in actual fact they've got bigger needs but they get bigger and that's really where we need to be standing beside them housing is one of those big needs for orphans leaving care it's also in short supply and there's

a. certain calculations for one region and found out that if a child is number ten thousand in a queue for housing it would take them some three and a half thousand years to actually get a flat out of the. how can they live like this they're not pharaohs you know you can't bring them back from the dead and give them an apartment what you're currently only administrative penalties can be imposed on anyone standing in the way of films leaving care getting housing alexander gears a lot of film all for himself as a campaigner for orphans rights he wants to see the courts more involved in the water. 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 and this will make sure that there is no way you graduating i would have to go and live in a rundown home and. a change in the law might help people in the future but lina needs to find a solution right now. i ask them when 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 but because it's forbidden for me to have family some people are trying to help me but so far their efforts have been in vain. so these are all of our. very nature. but that's our we've got some extreme action from our sports staffs a competition where excitement and danger go hand in hand to report on one of the newest and yet most thrilling sports on the planet clear up. next is the business news here on r.t. with kareena stay with us.
