standards of the un over the organization's hard line position on syria with moscow calling for a strictly diplomatic solution. foreign minister sergei lavrov says the un security council shouldn't be contemplating taking action against syria while state during what he calls a civil war taking place in yemen all aboard up to the delayed roll. just after eight pm here in the russian capital you're watching r.t. thanks for joining us now to our top story greece has voted on a second bill in the final step towards implementing the next wave of a sturdy measures well it's the last hurdle that athens has to job to qualify for a new stack of european bailout funds but we will. i have. a journalist joining us

later on in the program who was right there in the middle of the action let's go to the u.k. now where up to three quarters of a million public sector workers are preparing for industrial action they're voicing their opposition to plan changes to their pay and pensions both part of the government's austerity measures a third of schools are expected to close with court hearing spitz u.k. airports bracing themselves for destruction. is in london following developments. i think it's not such an odd. thing in lawns and politics seven hundred thousand people would start to turn to a hotel teacher style team members apologies. all expenses not six but there was a nice enough to be sent up the trip planned by the government was obviously no it's not just the college students and people that are in stockholm but we do not

say that about ninety percent of london. say also there are exceptions belong to the airports because customs and immigration officials are also taking as well all of these people are demanding that the cuts will not be tells us that the government does not gold with the cuts to say that they do want to change it you can see they did not want to work longer hours get the blood. to. come up the most. to be back to the states where. the cuts are being made in the wrong direction so they're not being made to see it because the small sliver of financial crisis. those most responsible for her into predicament. largely untouched by government seems to be writing the truth so some agreements halfway through without consultation to the people most of all the

changes that it may consider pensions will find it necessary to this way to address so i think we do need to make. me. cry in the private teacher pensions by so much as it is a model where nothing that seems to me to disturbances out of the law is that possible travelling to seven states takes place at the same time there are organisations such as the decent is not what the old all. people to turn turn. all the rage against the tory led police in something maybe once you get a little bit knowledge in the same time we also must not love the fact that anything might also take the heat and make them it's easy but other than that people are expected to protest peacefully leave again it's one of the million people that are going to be marching down the center of london to watch the olympics to make the boys the police had some plan by the government.

reporting their ads on the way scientology controversy will find out why some of the works of l. ron hubbard the leader of the divisive church have been declared illegal in russia . and over for a good deal to be remembered for it was mine for for. over scientology describe real hope it was the greatest humanitarian in history and he himself for it was a remarkable achievement he was a lawyer and a cheat but if you were to put the russian foreign minister has highlighted double standards up the un over the organization's approach to the arab world so be a law for all of says the crisis in syria and yemen are provoking a vastly different and unjustified approaches archies peter all of our reports from moscow. rove was addressing a meeting of the foreign affairs committee of the duma just behind me he

highlighted insists. on going situations in the world now he gets out what he sees as the western desire regime change in the middle east saying that this was all except the. instances he also went on to highlight the fact that this was actually against international law. feels a little disappointed to say the least about the way. the situation in libya. abstaining from the vote on the u.n. resolution that allowed international intervention a very disappointed at the way they see that mission has gone beyond the parameters laid out in that u.n. resolution and keen to avoid a similar fate a similar situation occurring in syria yemen sigil of role pulling no punches he's out of those that have criticised russia's stance on the u.n.

security council and also had a few of the same self about what he sees as a lack of consistency by the u.n. body. many have been criticizing russia and china's position on the u.n. security council resolution on syria for the fact that we consider such a resolution inappropriate i'll give you a simple example the situation in yemen is no easier than in syria there's a difficult civil war going on there nobody's going to the u.n. security council to try and stop it. before the. peace around in the arab world to discussion and diplomacy and international intervention something that they will not support. welcome back to our top story greece has voted on a second bill and it's a final step towards implementing the next wave of stare the naturals and still protests are going on in athens so let's cross live to the heart of rap and joining

us now is financial journalist you need to give us a thank you very much for being there with us now how are the people about that's reacting to thursday's vote. well they they already started to gather around the parliament right now they're quickly starting to amass a number on the street in front of constitution square and on this on the streets perpendicular people are starting to gather here before about an hour there were there weren't really that many people they were supposed to get there by six but as the sun begins to set and the heat there's a pates it becomes a lot easier for people to gather here and that's what we've seen in the past in this or we're seeing tonight if you will there are reports of the government is being accused of using illegal chemical agents to disperse protesters from what you've seen of there how real are those claims. i mean i can't tell you if the chemicals or are not tear gas or something else but i can tell you that the that the amount of chemicals in the air is substantial because even if you go down to the concert square right now and your you go near any of the shops that were hit

with tear gas you'll you'll find that special when the wind picks up your eyes will tear and it's very difficult to breathe and and as far as the claims are the legitimate or not you're talking about people like the head of the national pharmaceutical situation here in greece and other people who are claiming that some of these somethings are illegal and other personal genic so these are experts that should know who are making these claims ok well we have been there for a couple of days now and you're right there in the action talking to people i suppose what ideas i've been put forward there in terms of solutions to this to possibly getting out of this crisis right there from the people themselves. i mean the most common solution is a default and there aren't that many people around here who have a clear sense of how that would go about there are some economists in greece and other people who are proposing solutions but those solutions that are really being proposed for the most part are solutions that require a cooperative party like the e.u. and the i.m.f. to cooperate to restructure the debt right now the principal problem for those

people trying to pad vacate for a solution like that is that they don't have a willing party they don't have an i.m.f. or an e.u. that wants to restructure this debt so right now the only viable option available to greece that people are discussing realistically as a default by default possible return to the drachma possibly ideally by currency system a dual currency system where you have the drachma for public expenditures keeping borrowing costs down and interest rates high for the government and keeping inflation kind of bored to the public sector and a euro for domestic purposes and and private private use hopefully no capital controls that's that's a big fear for a lot of people in the private sector here who want to invest and want to build this country up their capital controls a real concern if we do we do default ok well and those are a lot of ideas and as you had said earlier it does require the cooperation of a lot of big institutions but i'm out greece is finding itself in a crisis but how how much time. for another round of crisis bigger than what is currently happening here. doesn't have i mean this is the thing is that they're in

should they release these trenches bit by bit so remember it was a year ago when we passed that one hundred ten billion euro bailout that exacted the wrath of the northern europeans in this country but the the amount of money from that bill does not come all at once it's tranche by truncheon it's i think was the fifth or fourth i think was the fifth installment and it was something like twelve billion euros it was pocket change in terms of what the greek government would need overall. and because this is how they're implementing the measures bit by bit and because the debt burden is so large and it continues to grow remember it grows ever larger and we're in a deflationary period right now here in greece so the just keeps mounting on the backs of the greek people you can expect to see the this crisis drag on and roll and build like a giant snowball down a hill because that's that's the nature of a large debt load it just keeps growing and growing and it's going to put more and more pressure on this economy more and more pressure on these people and that's going to result in more violence more protests and of all this government

eventually all right well thank you very much for keeping us updated me for a coffee lost there for national journalists reporting from athens thank you. for saying in athens we now cross to an activist in the same public square. thank you very much i mr to prosper joining us on the line so from your perspective there what's the atmosphere since the vote was passed along can you hear me. yes yes i do but i just want to know all right i just want to know that from where you are there what has the atmosphere been like since the vote was passed. here it's very electric you know specially after what happened yesterday here. people now start to really be angry because of what happened yesterday here. it was never have been in the last forty years from up from the one i remember myself here in greece i'm forty seven years old and never saw something similar in this country

yesterday the very first being without a bunkroom was democracy and so because of those who have been in yesterday it was very old war from police and government against against the big cities and in fact spears who are pulled to fly in the solution of the problem of the crisis here in greece first time to the first time but they are still getting discounter the policeman to keep kids to keep cool money and that the throw. in the metro station in the shops in the coffee shops of vision was really something very very first time have been here and we were very hungry for that. but i think that it is not enough people to close more to do more of it would receive from the people in peril for test all right well you're describing the scene there for us in your calling it a real war according to reports some three hundred people have been injured since

the protests began how realistic is this number i think it's about. fifty three ground of your figurative scorer but between these three hundred people there are at least counted fifty people with broken legs broken hence ok but people who could be seeing coverage you know we know the videos of what's happening there at the square have been on the internet and television could come out of cars rich of the riots stopped people from taking to the streets would they be afraid. look people people who. get afraid from their survey i think about tomorrow later. people will start again to go to constitutional square they will continue to protest even today and even two more and given to the next days because i was thirty meters about this government it's imposed citizens into the next piers

is no it is not fair at all. because they call seem to see it isn't it starts beyers to pay their losses over the banking system in greece and all around the world here would have been deceived business in taxpayers who pay their losses in the drama of gee's bend an arsenal for financial crime syndicate that say created being first in the united states and then you're being you know all right well just very briefly now how are the greeks feeling about decisions taken in that brussels concerning the economic future of their country. look people are told that are very angry. they look people people people here in this country at the moment. they don't fully know anything because they don't believe anymore to be existing political class of this country because that because their real problem in greece is in other european countries i believe it's first political and then

financial because this financial crisis was created we could pollution governments all around europe and unions there is a response to go to forty five more what is happening in our countries and in the same time they want to be the survivors of that means cannot be the same politicians who create the problem they will show was their way out of the problem they would never find a solution people being older this is the reason they don't trust them they don't believe in the more and this is there is over there every day in constitutions where to protest against this osteria the museum is not there getting approved every day here all right well thank you very much for your thoughts there and activists in the syntagma square mr kitty thank you. well your opinion counts you can visit our website that's our dot com and have your say in our latest online poll and today we asked you what should greek people do once the new set of

a sturdy cots is approved so far most of you think they should defend their rights until early elections a close second with thirty four percent is the opinion that they must prepare for even worse cards with bankruptcy still looming and all their last favorable responses are that reeks should consider emigrating and that they have lost the fights and must tighten their belts. and we have more for you online log on to our website to learn how police prevented a terrorist attack during a drug raid. a russian court has found that some a scientology literature distributed in russia is illegal the writings by l. ron hubbard the founder of the church have been ruled extremist and anti social

artists are for it is outside the scientology headquarters in moscow. scientology here in russia and indeed in many countries around the world has proved controversial lots of debate about whether it should actually be considered a religion there are lots of countries other do you think scientology is actually more of a cult or sex now this court decision we saw today concerns the banning of the books by the founder scientology hour ron hubbard we're actually at the main headquarters so you can see the great job they got on the lower floors they sell some of these books or those materials that were considered by the court to contain cools for extreme activities this ruling actually mirrors a similar thing that we saw in a court in april of last year that was in the siberian city is tickets and in that instance it was very similar that was thought to being found to contain cools the state of the religious hatred and people to work against law enforcement activities now in that instance the justice ministry actually overturned the decision is we've

heard today the court decision hasn't actually been enforced jessa these posts haven't yet been banned from being sold as they still are in the show we actually spoke to the p.r. director of the church of scientology and we can handle what she had to say about the decision. because decision is surprising l. ron hubbard stretching have been going around the world for sixty years people across hundred and sixty five countries have been using to make their lives to turn a new country if you found him to be extremist think the key and appropriately and make an appeal until the court's decision is brought to foose who keeps only. ten million followers worldwide and those he said scientology often cutting into the limelight for controversial practice and again this is another example of where that happens. well pakistan has urged the u.s. to shut down and leave an air base in that country southwest the facility has served as

a launching pad for washington's drone attacks against taliban and al qaeda targets on the afghan border of relations between the two allies have been on a downward spiral for months terry rating after american forces killed osama bin laden in early may and for more on this we can talk now to accident political analyst a medical writer joining us live from islamabad thank you very much for joining us the announcement comes as our relations between the two countries are already strained since the a cia killed al qaeda leader osama bin ladin in may now is this direct retaliation do you think yes it is it is in a way a direct retaliation but there are there is of course another reason the and that is being the u.s. is not is no longer they are using has done even sillies and pakistani bases the name for the use payments was the c.s.f. that's equal in support fund and the u.s. was pain pakistan under this heading for the past decade for using different types

of products on the facilities the u.s. has to start doing that for various reasons u.s. officials have not said we're not going to pay you but what they've said is we're trying we have some problems in the in the congress in releasing the funds and so forth if delay tactics basically so the pakistani officials apparently got the message so one of the main reasons is the stoppage of the payment of. funds to pakistan by the united states but also it is also in a way a retaliation for what happened on me to ok what that is so i've used to speak of it sarah fighting partnership with the u.s. now because of this strain does this mean at the end of that relationship. i think it would be very fair to say that pakistan is gradually edging towards declaring or announcing the end of its participation in the war on terror as it existed since two thousand and one as you know and many are partners in the quotient of the

willing that participated with the us military with nato with ice up in afghanistan over a period of the past five or six years did review their participation and their terms of engagement in afghanistan and some of them withdrew and some redeploying their role in afghanistan and i think the one of the only countries probably that did not do this over the past decade has focused on buckstone continued its blanket support to the united states and whatever the u.s. is was doing and continues to do in afghanistan but i think pakistan now is edging closer to actually announcing the end of its participation in the war on terror as it existed since then after nine eleven in afghanistan and maybe pox on with either pull out of this war or redefine it seemed. i would assume i would think that maybe pakistan is moving toward the second option to end its its participation in the war on terror but continue to help and cooperate with the united states to reach

a peaceful resolution of guns on the table and participation they have been working actively together what would this mean first for pakistan and for the u.s. i'm sorry what would this mean for the u.s. and their own war on terror and what would it mean for pakistan are they afraid that extremists will flourish in fact sunday couldn't handle it on their own as we have seen from a recent events. one of the main reasons for the for the continuation of violent activity on the pakistan are gonna stand border is the mess that the us military has created inside of coniston over the past to create the mess there the way they have alienated a large portion segment of the afghan population in terms of the push to. the way they have conducted the war on terror their the way they have alienated a large pockets really a country is a big reason for why we have a cunt generation of violence in afghanistan and how that violence is spilling over into pakistan and and frankly speaking many in fact most pakistani commentators

believe now that one of the ways short shortcuts really to controlling violence and extremism on the pakistan afghanistan border is really to end the war on terror the way the u.s. military and the way the cia has been conducting this war over the past ten years one step forward is of course what president obama has declared but you still words we're going to see really actions on the ground and we'll get to see whether important agencies within the u.s. government like the central intelligence agency the cia would really cooperate as you as you well know that the cia has now a huge presence in afghanistan a large project afghanistan is a large project for the cia and we want to see whether they would really wind down right ok just very very quickly i just want to know because of what you're saying about what could possibly happen in that relationship do you think washington crossed the line this time and we are the operation over there. i think they have

created a our series distrust specially on me too they used their own claim destined network of informants inside pakistan and i'm talking not about just cia contractors or agents i'm talking about pakistanis who were recruited by cia and some of them apparently had some links or connections with different parts of the us government i'm sorry the different parts of the pakistani government or even pakistani military there was a serious breach of trust from the pakistani perspective and i think the americans really blew with this guy and this was a great opportunity the cooperation oregon has done for both countries to really get over the past but it is really very unfortunate that there are some people some harks really who are based in afghanistan have mishandled the situation of i thank you very much for your thoughts political analyst and nic russia talking to us from islamabad thank you and i'll be back with the headlines shortly refers to the latest business news of dmitri.
