the greek capital is bracing for more violence thousands gather at the parliament building for a second day of protests hours before lawmakers are to vote on a fresh austerity package. and fears grow that unrest in syria might drive the militant group hezbollah to move weapons and store their two lebannon 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 denied the state support they're entitled to. buy from our headquarters in central moscow you're watching r t with me and he's now 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 warned athens there are no other options but protesters are already flocking to the part of the men thousands of them are again venting their fury over the planned 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 it's archie's sara first for even if that happens the money is likely 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 and we're going to pay for this that we want to take out a large bug that's greece continues to fight against economic ruin the second

bailout is an attempt to prevent greece from defaulting on its previous loan with payments that the greek people will be seeing a penny. not of money actually comes into the greek economy it all goes out the interest payments repayments also battles on 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 doxies taxes and nothing else their money does not go to a very early corner me a year is struggling against harshest areas he measures has meant the 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. the. finance the initial bailouts the tune of one hundred ten billion that you. i'll start looking at ways of continuing to purslane

money towards where i'm really coming to a plan b. if that when it comes to the choice many people now in greece simply don't want their help their actions is being born as a self interest throw. away to get as much as they can show to get out the are going to get all this they. probably i mean they're really property and they are going to give almost everything. and live. off the good people they're going to get in this in this. case rick that's the first the plan actually that's the plan nothing more she incredible but there's this ration the bailout would certainly come it's a high cost for the cuts in public spending raising taxes and an aggressive privatization program that would mean the sale of many greek public assets this is

robbery this is theft this is tension on the streets of athens continues to mount violent scenes witness recently disturbing testimony to just how far situations deteriorated 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 lending policies and it's 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. sarah fans r.t. athens. well we can now cross live to athens to find out what's going on in front of the greek parliament this. from the country's civil servants trade union now joins us to let us know what's actually happening in the greek capital this week to your in thomas 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 masses and those don't we our government and the whole european union governments get the message and the message is that these politics don't get us out of the cries is we want some other politics to be held or. it's not in my that if we will gloss on the aim the parliament or not is a mother all 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 that 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 this. old fellow in the parliament they will not have many days in the government i think that they in september october we will be on elections in this country because a you know the socialist party that governs now has the last every. everyone who voted for. 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 opals it thinks but they are leading our country too got passed through a phase and that's something we want it's a matter of believing there for the people. my country you have to understand that when the mother is leaving all day and no government can stop by as i've said today or tomorrow or two months later if this package is passed what will it mean for the great people. again please if the package the austerity measures are in fact passed

today if the vote goes ahead all that mean for great. on not only for our salaries and pensions that will be vanished but there the way or slow they are a. tool votes for in the group parliament is a law that says that everything this their own will a boss to an enterprise a which will be a and which they have members from the troika the i.m.f. and some greek people so visa enterprise a private enterprise with the troika inside it will sell everything will sell everything this country owns hospitals with transportation for its. land even our museums can be on sale. so this is the worst thing we want if these low passes and if this law if we don't stop this little we want to be a state in the morning what is going on now the why don't know this being

a 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 set of his problem not only here in greece but in the whole utopian you and me on in the whole european union these days. i want the employees and the working class to pay for this crisis and we say no we say that's their it's people we say don't sell anything that owns this country we say that the public there if they say we have to pay it's not our dept we didn't decide about it we didn't ask about it we didn't. we didn't even have to pay for it five percent the interest rate when the european. banks with one percent interest rate so we say that this debt is not dollars and you know this i'm wearing says we don't all we've done so we don't pay so this is the solution to our

problems we want to pay the debts we will we will try to find what kind of. these e's and they are much of this amount of that there was decided by our business with outdoes and they games 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 because 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 christine 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 by launching an attack against israel or jews paul this new 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. position to take over in syria. differently. is but lies and in the me is a separate so for who. it's the mass the most logical thing to do all to transfer the weapon they put in syria. into two to. four 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 it 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. that could include a new war between lebanon and israel already the weapons hezbollah 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 it collated around forty five thousand missiles of various ranges. there is one of the all part of them that in fact the range goes beyond three hundred but what's three hundred fifty kilometers which according to them at least they can reach the whole of a lot of 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 hizbollah on to 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 it the lebanese palestinian and his bill of flags flying on the israeli border the message is clear here no country's immune to what happens to its neighbor and it won't take much to turn the region's precarious peace into all out war policy r.t.

israel. israel is also readying itself for trouble on the other side of the country has a new humanitarian tele 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 cross talk show peter the veil 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 terrorists we saw that in last year's flotilla there were armed mercenaries aboard the. ship mavi marmara which lynch trying to try to winter is really sold this is really holding on to that there's a lot of the silly shit because of those concerns in front of the same district and it's you know this is going to germany is in israel's.

bubble roost has vowed to repay its debts for russia's electric. city minsk missed its payment to overnight in moscow has now cut off the electrical supply to the country belarus is suffering one of its worst economic crisis with prices rising and the currency plummeting margy son thomas has more and wipe out the roots is struggling to pay its bills people are panicking making a run on the banks and making a run out 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 nikolai a small club who is 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 dark humor 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 rubles their belorussian roubles for russian roubles 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 as it devalued to such an extent that it's pretty much worthless there's a couple of instances where people are fighting over good to try to get what they can also taxi drivers are saying 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 you can check out one 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 you could shake a phrase that the general minimum wage of the country fifty percent and for government employees at thirty percent it's this move that speculators say is what devalued the currency on such a level of our fellows has tried to go to the i.m.f.

then back in may at the end of a they went 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. between seven and ten billion u.s. dollars to bring some sort of normalcy side to country so right now. very bad situation inside delivers. whether to give that loan to bella ruse that shawn mentioned 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 role next week and she might have one overwhelming support in the i.m.f. but many analysts think another european boss means more favorable treatment for some countries over others are just going to cap 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. 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 edge to the perception of i.m.f. by its there could be some conflict of interest. they know their main borel's institution will be europe so we'll have a situation where they will rule or stormin eighteen 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 economy they would use their monopoly over. to force certain policies. on countries in policies there were not in 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 in the advanced economies which it definitely did not spot they missed the two big biggest asset bubbles in the history of the world and the i.m.f. you know which publishes its world economic outlook every six months and is really in charge of monitoring these kinds of things just missed completely 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 all of the big decisions at the i.m.f.

are my. by the us treasury department then you had of the i.m.f. is more than familiar with the us 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 to divest the interests of aviation giants like boeing and lockheed martin helping them to seal multi-billion dollar deal the u.s. and europe found first seem like are the best fit for the job so that several emerging markets including russia 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 are. 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 puppet controlled by the interest of global corporate interests a third are the power of the view that the organization will be exploiting weak economies and deepening the prices 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 r.t. dot com drops a line on what you think about the new head of the i.m.f. . their lives are often blighted by a troubled childhood but russian orphans are finding that their problems are often extended into adulthood too they're entitled to free housing from the government wants to leave their care home there's peter all over now reports many of them aren't getting the support they need. and dilapidated. this plan looks more like a prime candidate for demolition than a family home twenty two year old mother of two lena is being told by social

services. she's stuck here. perhaps they haven't seen this place inside they keep telling us true parents somehow leave 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 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 flat was given to lena's mother by the state and despite having no money she's been told to fix it. but their 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 that the family can leave here however here is exactly

where the thirty's of told her that she should bring up children lena's case isn't unusual for 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 or thousands. of smaller you know when they're little and everybody loves to help their small presence that deployed. whereas in actual fact they've got bigger than me but they get there and that's really where 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 those are which the irish brought in and we made certain calculations for one region and found out that if a child is number ten thousand in the queue for housing it would take them some three and a half thousand years to actually get a flat how can they live like this they're not pharaohs you know we 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 those

leaving care getting how's. alexander gear's a loaf form often himself as a campaigner for orphans writes he wants to see the courts more involved he was at the q my side and 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 when all the mothers are given homes to raise their children why can't i have that 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 and some people are trying to help me but to file their efforts have been in vain. peter all of our party to very cheap. but next hour we've got some extreme action from our sports staffs
