i. think it would transfer. to. this street still keep secrets of the mountains trying to reveal the hidden things the soviet files on oxy. change the artillery kept out of our main stories thousands of angry greeks have taken their fury to the streets to protest against the approval of the highly unpopular stares the package measures will see more cuts in order to secure new money without which the country will go bankrupt within weeks. u.s. secretary defense robert gates is leaving the pentagon after almost twenty years of helm of the country's military but with the cia chief taking over critics question whether he would end the wars currently thriving on an ever expanding defense

budget. a massive strike of public sector workers threatens to leave havoc in the u.k. schools and transport networks teachers to traffic controllers around three quarters of a million civil servants are staging a walkout against government plans to cut their pensions and freeze pay. projects will talk to british union the marks of what he says public sector workers won't stop and some great chief their goals. today i'm talking to mark so what's because he's one of the brains behind the thirtieth of june nationwide strikes in the u.k. he's head of the public and commercial services union he's three hundred thousand members are walking out of a proposed reforms to the pension scheme thanks for talking to r.t. today now this is possible plan to cut public spending in this country just how
4:32 am
drastic are these cuts going to be gives an impression of what they might mean for the cuts of a big that most people will have seen in their lifetime. to mean half a million jobs lost in the public sector six hundred thousand jobs in the private sector as a direct result we're seeing changes in the delivery of welfare cuts in funding of education for for young people and also a tax on people's pensions in addition to that in many of the communities up and down the country will see libraries close cuts in social services everything that people have taken for granted over years is ultimately. you seem to see these cuts in terms of rights and wrongs almost a moral position but isn't there a bottom line that has to be respected for example they didn't see it it looks like they might be able to afford teachers or nurses. in greece this is the fifth largest economy in the world and if you look at historically the british economy
4:33 am
for fifteen consecutive years from one nine hundred eighty nine words our debt as a proportion of our g.d.p. was double what it is now then we go to millions of houses schools hospitals well first recognizing actually economically these cuts now it will make it worse far better to cut the deficit by employing people who pay tax and insurance rather than throw them onto welfare where actually they depress the economy and we can make friends with us you've said that the government cuts just attack working people. but how do you think the strikes you're proposing will affect the. ruling class is what having three quarters of a million people from four different unions on strike is something that hasn't happened in this country for decades it's the start not the finish to the government is if they try to ignore will come back in the autumn when we may well see millions of people on strike so the idea here is to build pressure so the government realise that working people the length and breadth of the u.k.
4:34 am
i'm not just going to let them get away with what they're doing and we believe that pressure ultimately can force them to change direction the government's bill for pensions at the moment is around thirty billion pounds which does seem excessive a lot of money how do you suggest that they would use it. i don't think they should reduce it i'm quite clear that retirement to. where you don't have to struggle to make ends meet should be what we aspire for in the first richest country in the world and so my view is public sector pensions and all pension provision is important and instead of a risk to the bottom where we see the worst pension provision in the private sector becoming the model i'd like to see a rising pension provision i'm saying it's a priority for people to have a decent retirement and that could be done in many ways cutting the renewal of trident for example would save us enough money to pay for those pensions for three or four years the tax gap where the richest people in britain avoid paying over one hundred billion
4:35 am
a year would actually mean these pensions look fairly cheap in comparison and you mentioned the private sector and a lot of private sector workers say that actually the public sector has a very good deal when it comes to pensions a lot better than a lot of private sector provision do you think there's really public support for what you're doing ali opinion polls seem to tell us already a majority of people actually believe the public sector pensions are important and arriving at the right level of should even be higher that's incredible when you think of the propaganda we've had over the last two years from politicians in the media telling everybody the public sector pensions are the cause of people. problem my message to private sector workers is they are being exploited by their shareholders and by the company chiefs not by public sector workers pensions and we should have a campaign that seeks to drive all pension levels up not cut down to the worst what you will similarly what would you accept in terms of pension reform well i personally believe that it is not acceptable to make anyone to pay a penny more for their pension when the valuation of public sector pension schemes
4:36 am
say they are costing less because it's not about pensions it's about raising taxes to solve the deficit i don't believe people should be forced to work longer i don't believe people should have the levers of their pension slashed so where we are in the talks at the moment unless the government fundamentally except they have to talk about those things then i believe the industrial action is going to take place you have said in fact that the government doesn't look like it's prepared to make a shape so what's the point of striking. when the point is to change their mind and saying you won't negotiate just when they're having a chat with a few people in a room is one thing saying you want to go see it when they could be millions of people taking strike action is entirely another and we actually believe that the six million trade unionists plus the thousands and thousands or hundreds of thousands of pensioners and students all becoming a joint campaign is going to be prolifically very powerful we've already seen in britain a march of one hundred five hundred thousand people three months ago transformed the political mood in this country really from march control our view is what
4:37 am
walker strikes actually how exactly do you think that march changed the political needs is transformed in that it was on the front page of the newspapers it was on every t.v. station and it gave people a confidence that however small the community and i have a small they have seen for example keeping alive they understood they were part of a much much wider problem and i think that's given us confidence to move from a march for unions ballots in numbers of members voting overwhelmingly for a strike so it's. clearly transforming not just people's confidence but the opinion polls clearly are shifting whereas a majority before said they oppose strikes now in the most recent polls a majority says they are sympathetic to them and the crisis that we're seeing in may was called certainly in part by a reckless financial services sector do you think there is political will now to create a more banking community. where i would always question whether the exists when the carbon twenty three multimillionaires in that when they have members themselves who
4:38 am
have benefited in the past by playing fast and loose with paying their taxes although you go clearly not morrow therefore i don't actually believe there is a political will of this government to actually ensure that the rich should pay for the problems that the rich coursed of the banking sector should pay for the problems the banking sector cause and as we're doing this interview i have members on fifteen thousand pounds a year struggling to make ends meet they don't have holidays facing having their pensions slashed when they see bankers who are already million as trousering millions more in bonuses that's got to be fundamentally unfair since the crisis britain has entered into a new war in a foreign country and recently the air force commander said that he needed more money to sustain a paid in libya and also in afghanistan do you think there is a moral vacuum in westminster that causes these kinds of things to happen that the government would cut spending and to enjoy another war abroad which is what i think
4:39 am
there isn't any politico consistency quite clearly we've been told there were strapped for cash everything that we hold dear has to be slashed and yet we can still talk about renewing trident i'm fighting wars overseas irrespective of the cost my own view is that the war in afghanistan and the current war in libya are wrong they misjudged what people claim they are about and we should actually find a way out of those pretty quickly and not make the situation in those countries worse as well as at the same time. take valuable resources that could go into schools and hospitals and finally you opposite number at unison the country's biggest unit is stressing this wave of industrial action that carries on. are you prepared to join us for absolutely we we've made it clear that our strike is the start of a process we want more and more people to be involved not because we want to be on strike but because we want the government to step up and take notice so i very much welcome the comments of the apprentice in unison and we want to work very closely
4:40 am
with him and all the other trade unions in britain to ensure that when working people are making a protest the protest is a positive thing as possible because it's designed to get the government to change their minds most welcome thank you very much ok. we. move. it's.
