it's two thirty pm in moscow these are the top stories on our green says and a cycle of protest as thousands rallied against the approval of a highly unpopular austerity package measures will see more cops in order to secure a e.u. money with out which the country will go bankrupt within weeks. u.s. secretary of defense robert gates is leaving the pentagon after almost five years of the helm of the country's military but with the cia chief taking over critics

question whether he'll end the wars currently private on an ever expanding defense budget. and a massive strike of public sector workers wreaks havoc in the u.k. schools and transport networks from teachers to air traffic controllers around three quarters of a million civil servants are staging a walkout against government plans to cut their pensions and freeze pay. when next we talked to british union leader marks or says public sector workers won't stop until they achieve 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 the 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 drastic are these cuts going to be gives an impression of what they might mean for the cuts of the big that most people will have seen in their lifetime opera ject it 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 care services everything that people have taken for granted over years is ultimately. you seem to see these cuts in terms of right and wrong almost a moral position but isn't there a bottom line that has to be respected for example they didn't reform and see if it looks like they might be able to afford teachers or nurses or the u.k. economy isn't greece this is the fifth largest economy in the world and if you look

at historically the british economy for fifty consecutive years from one thousand nine hundred on words our debt as a proportion of our g.d.p. was double what it is now then we know millions of houses schools hospitals well first recognise and actually economically we will make it worse far better to cut the deficit by employing people who then pay tax and insurance rather than throw them onto welfare where actually they depress the economy and we think my 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's hasn't happened in this country for decades it's not the finnish message to the government is if they try to ignore we'll come back in the autumn and we may well see millions of people on strike so the idea is to build pressure so the government realise that

working people the length and breadth of the u.k. 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 of pigment 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 cost to where we see the worst pension provision in the private sector becoming the model i'd like to see a rise in the pension provision and saying it's a priority for people to have a decent retirement i'm not 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 in the tax code where the richest people in britain avoid paying over

one hundred billion 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 the public sector has a very good deal when it comes to pensions a lot better than a lot of private sector do you think there's really public support for what you're doing but the 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 or should it 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 and not cut down to the worst what you simulate what would you accept in terms of pension reform what 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

say they cost and last because that'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 and that's the government fundamentally except they have to talk about those things then i believe the industrial action is going to take place but you have said in fact that the government doesn't look like it's prepared to negotiate so what's the point of striking. when the point is to change your 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 there 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 pro lexically 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 from march can do that our viewers will walk of strikes actually into how exactly do you think that march changed the political needs is transformed on the front page of the newspapers it was on every t.v. station and it gave people a confidence that however small a community and i have a small they had 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 to now for unions balloting members are 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 the may was cool certainly in part by a reckless financial services sector do you think there's political will now to create a more banking community. where i would always question whether the exists when the

carbon has twenty three multi-millionaires and when they have members themselves who have benefited in the past by playing fast and loose with. all the ego 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 but the banking sector should pay for the problems the banking sector caused 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 and donna says 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 said he needed more money to sustain a campaign in libya and. 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 while i think there isn't any politico consistency quite clearly we've been told that strapped for cash everything that we hold dear has to be slashed and yet we can still talk about renewing and fighting wars overseas irrespective of the cost my own view is that the war in afghanistan and the current war in libya wrong they misjudged what people claim are about and we should actually find a way out of those pretty quickly not make the situation in those countries worse as well as of the same time. valuable resources 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 orders of in zero seven are you prepared to join us oh absolutely we we've made it clear that i was struggling is the start of a process we want more and more people to be involved not because we want to be on strike because we want the government to step up and take notice so i very much

welcome the comments of printers in unison and we want to work very closely with him on all the other trade unions in britain to ensure that when working people are making a protest the protest is hard hitting as possible because it's designed to get the government to change their minds most welcome thank you very much like a. loon .

that's. what i was just thinking about my future before the foreign companies came i dreamed of owning a can coming factory. but we have less carbon shit now. some businesses who come here make fun of me. figure out garbage boy i'm not bad like people saying. i'm a good person. it's just the people don't see me. but i feel it was time people like me. that i feel people will start
