live from moscow word six thirty pm the headlines could read part of the mint has taken the final step towards receiving crucial european bailout funds the government has voted on a detailed plan to implement the country's second wave of austerity measures it's been met by public resistance with two days of rioting leaving more than three hundred people injured. braces itself for mass destruction as hundreds of thousands of public sector workers prepare for twenty four hours of industrial action they're

responding to plan changes to pay and pensions thousands of teachers civil servants and border control officers say the plans mean more work for reduced pension. points to double standards at the u.n. over the organization's position on syria saying the crisis warrants a peaceful solution foreign minister sergei lavrov says the security council should be calling for action all over nor in what he describes as a civil war in yemen. next we talked to british union leader marks or what he says public sector workers won't stop until they achieve their goals. today i'm talking to mark so what's curfews 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 mr walker thanks for talking to r.t. today now this is possible to 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 biggest that most people will have seen in their lifetime. to i 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 young people and also a tax on people's pensions in addition to 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 is there a bottom line that has to be respected for example they didn't reform and soon 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 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 kill millions of houses schools hospitals well first recognizing actually economically these cuts will make it worse far better to cut the deficit by employing people who don't pay tax and insurance rather than throw them onto welfare where actually they depress the economy and we think make friends with us you've said that the government cuts are now just attack working people. how do you think that strikes your pacing will affect the government and the ruling class is what having three quarters of a million people from four different unions on strike is something how this hasn't happened in this country for decades it's the start not the finish 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 reeling from back to 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 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 dignity and old age where you don't have to struggle to make ends meet should be what we aspire for in the fifth 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 and 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 in the tax gap where the richest people in britain avoid paying over one hundred billion a year we actually mean these pensions look fairly cheap in comparison and you mentioned the private sector and a lot of private sector workers say that she 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 poorly opinion polls seem to tell us already a majority of people actually believe the public sector pensions are important arriving at the right level of study to 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. the problem my masters to private sector workers is they are being exploited by their shareholders and by the company chiefs and not by public sector workers pensions and we should how to count pain and seeks to drive all pension levels up not cut down to the worst similarly 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 a pension slashed so where we are in the talks at the moment unless the government fundamentally accepts 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 for pipes negations say what's the point of striking. for 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 won't negotiate 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 will transform the political mood in this country well if i'm not convinced that our view is well what could 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 however small they seem for example in the library 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 ballots in members 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 responsible banking community. where i would always question whether the exists when the carbon twenty three multi-millionaires and when they have members themselves who have benefited in the past by playing fast and loose with paying their taxes all ego clearly not morrow therefore i don't actually believe it yet there is a political will of this government to actually ensure that the rich should pay for the problems that the rich caused 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 holidays facing having their pensions slashed when they see bankers who are already million as trousering millions more enormous is going to be fundamentally unfair since the crisis. has entered into a new war in a foreign country and recently the air force commander said that he needed more money to sustain these campaigns 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 enter into another war abroad well i think there isn't any politico consistency quite clearly we've been told there were so strapped for cash everything that we hold dear has to be slashed and yet we can still talk about renewing trident and fighting wars overseas irrespective of the cost my own view is that the war in afghanistan and the current war in libya are wrong and misjudged what people claim 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. valuable resources that could go into schools and hospitals and finally you opposite number at unison the country's biggest union is stressing this wave of industrial action that carries dollars into the op said are you prepared to join the cuts oh absolutely we we've made it clear that our struggle 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 sit up and take notice so i very much welcome the comments of their practice in unison and we want to work very closely with him and 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 that's what thank you very much like you. know. wealthy british style it's sometimes the right. type. of. market why not. come the. why not what's really happening to the global economy
