there's growing frustration outside the greek parliament as people gather to protest against the final bill that clears the way for european bailout funds to be released this a decision that means higher taxes and fewer jobs for ordinary people. look the u.k. braces itself for mass destruction as hundreds of thousands of public sector workers begin industrial action in response to product changes to their pensions and. thousands of teachers civil servants and border control officers are staying at the plant meaning the words of the reduced bench in this as the first industrial protest against the government's austerity measures is taking over london. expose us double standards at the un over the organization's hard line position on syria with moscow calling for a strictly diplomatic solution. the foreign minister sergei lavrov says the u.n. security council shouldn't be contemplating taking action against syria while

stakes during what he calls a civil law taking place in yemen are more not so good later on look. from says it's boosting its investment program and raising dividends to record levels find out more what came out of the a.g.m. of the company business world. just after ten pm in the russian capital you're watching r t thanks for joining us and 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 it's the last hurdle that athens has to jump to qualify for a new stock of european bailout funds well the plan is met with resistance with more than three hundred people injured in two days of riots the national journal is to me that it is in the heart of athens where frustrated crowds continue to grow.

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 the on the streets perpendicular 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 we're seeing and tonight 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 cooperate of party like the e.u. and the i.m.f. to cooperate to restructure the debt right now the principal problem for those people people trying to tad decayed 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 greeks that people are discussing realistically as a default or default possible return to the drachma possibly ideally by currency system or do a currency system where you have a drachma for public expenditures keeping borrowing costs down and interest rates

high for the government and keeping inflation kind of barred to the public sector and a euro for domestic purposes and and private private use 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 amount of money from the that bail does not come all at once it's tranche by truncheon this i think was the fifth installment in a supply twelve billion euro so it was pocket change in terms of what 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 so largely continues to grow remember it grows ever larger and we're in a deflationary period right now here in greece so the debt just keeps mounting on the backs of the greek people and you can expect to see this crisis drag on and roll and build like a giant snowball down a hill because that's that's the nature of of a large debt load it just keeps growing and growing and she'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. professor of. the university of london told r.t. earlier that greece is being enslaved by europe economically what is happening to greece now and what has happened over the last year is that we have imposed upon a european kountry what we used to call an economic structure of adjustment these measures mean that the salaries and pensions of people in the public sector have been cut to up to forty percent they mean that i am employment is going up to about sixteen percent with forty five percent of huge unemployment in it which means of the whole generation of young people is being destroyed they mean one hundred fifty thousand jobs lost in the public sector and they mean that some of the most important utilities like electricity power what is being sold off of this is absolutely unprecedented in any western european country for the last one hundred

years this is an imposed totally neocolonial set of measures but politically also what has happened over the last year is that the i.m.f. the e.u. and the e.c.b. keep sending every couple of months young guys like gang technocrats to the things they go to the ministries they ask to look at that and then they decide what should be done and what should not be done so we have a situation in which the main power structure of greece has now moved from athens into brussels and the other european centers and the greek politicians and the greek public has been asked really to implement what they would have been decided and. well your opinion counts you can visit our web site that's r t dot com and have your say in our latest online poll and today we ask you what should greek people do once the new set of austerity cuts is approved so far most of you think they should defend the rights until early elections

a close second with thirty four percent is the opinion that they must prepare for even worse cuts with bankruptcy still moving and other less favorable responses are the greeks should consider emigrating and that they have lost the fight and must tighten their belts. you know what for you online so log on to our web site to learn how police prevented a terrorist attack during a drug raid. to the u.k. now we're up to three quarters of a million public sector workers are preparing for industrial action they're voicing their opposition to plug the changes to their pay and pensions both part of the government's a sturdy mesures well a third of schools are expected to close with court hearings to add to u.k. airports bracing themselves for disruption. in london following developments for us

. not. taking in the london about. these. teachers will. not take their. recent mention. by. it's not just the college students and people that already strike that we do not say that about. say anything there except the long delay in the airports because customs and immigration officials off also. well all these people are demanding that the cuts will not be such that the government does not go along with the cuts they do say that they do. not want to work longer hours get the blood. to.

sixty eight to. sixty votes. to. see if. it's. most responsible for predicament. largely untouched. through without due consultation to the people. that it may consider pensions but it necessary to fix the way to address so i think we do need to make cutbacks in something. called the teacher pensions by so much as it is to follow where nothing nothing in any significant disturbances other than the is that possible traffic disturbance this could take place at the same time there are organisations such as the today she does not work for told people to turn to rage

against the tory led coalition sunday maybe. get a little bit rowdy the same time we also must not love the fact that anything might also take to the streets and the damage. but other than that people are expected to protest peacefully again it's one of the million people that are going to be marching from the center of london to watch them to make their voices to protest the pension pot each up plan by the government. more on the situation in the u.k. we'll cross live to daniel garvin an activist from anti tax avoidance group u.k. uncut who is in london for us now thank you very much for joining us now the u.k. government says the plan changes to pensions are fair to taxpayers and the public sector do you think britain should be more supportive of their government during a time of crisis. do you think britain should be more supportive of their government. well we know basically the government's line is that

any any changes to the pensions or any other public set of cuts are entirely necessary because we have such a large debt we need to remember where this debt came from this debt came from eight hundred fifty billion pounds that was pumped into the banking sector a couple of years ago and still continues to this day so we have a debt and now we've got to ask ourselves how do we deal with that and instead of going after the buy it was the cause of the financial crisis and some of the wealthiest people in our society were avoiding some twenty five billion tax pounds in tax every single year the government plans to basically go after ordinary working people and today if you've been struggling over pensions is just one of many public sector cuts to come over the next cult following is basically. a huge amount of anger in this country because it's incredibly unfair that ordinary working people that have nothing to do with the financial crisis are being asked to

pay for a crisis that was caused by the violence ok well there's talk of more protests to come in the u.k. over the next few months how likely is that i mean you're talking about a lot of anger but do you think this could gather steam along the way. well i mean we wait to see you know maybe the house isn't have the greatest reputation of the militancy of a country such as greece however you know people already be angry and the cuts are yet to have really come in in britain at the moment the cuts are kind of academic debate there are bound to really start hitting people's pockets they've got to start getting people going to notice the people going to notice jobs being lost are going to notice their welfare payments being caught people going to start losing their homes etc and when once this really cuts through those cuts begin to read i think it's going to start seeing the relying on the streets and the unions are already ramping up the rhetoric with they're going to call for a wider general strike in order to so i think things are beginning to build up and you know the student movement of last year they're talking about. further

mobilization is in the autumn so if you combine that with the unions i think you know definitely in the run up to christmas this year i think you're going to start to see some real disruption in this country ok well this is the first industrial action faced by u.k. government and years does that mean or does it show that the coalition government is too weak to handle this kind of discontent from the public well you know the government is putting on a brave face and it's going to be no easy fight to stop these cuts we are dealing here with an incredibly ideological government they are making the cuts since nine hundred nineteen they're making deeper more ideological cuts than margaret thought she did and she certainly wasn't an easy pushover means to anybody in this country think this is going to be an easy pushover and that is why i think really the unions and everyone in this country really has to step up you know one strike one day is not going to be enough no one thinks it's going to be enough so really we

have to see sustained industrial this is a sustained protests on the streets you know the students really have to come back to that kind of militancy you know look what happened in greece even brot pressure wasn't enough to stop the government giving way so you know really i think we really have got to really really push through really disruptive protest and full of full industrial action which hopefully you know over the coming months and maybe coming years things will start to develop ok just very briefly if you can give it to us in the bullet points if you will what are the government's options practically speaking away from the theoretical measures. what are their options regarding alternatives you mean get to steer the country out of this crisis. i mean they say there are no it is they say you go to you're going to debt the only way to cut the debt is to stop spending what we're saying is that you know the other alternative is to go off to the banks that are making huge amounts of profits again

and then giving huge amounts of bonuses this let's let's look at getting money off them to pay for the financial crisis and also you know let's go to go look at tax avoidance twenty five billion pounds every single year is lost by the wealthiest individuals and corporations minimizing their tents that means we're losing vast sums of money which could pay for so many of these cuts. ok well thank you very much for your thoughts daniel garvin an activist from the u.k. uncut group talking to us live from london thank you. and still on the way for you scientology controversy find out why some of the works of ron hubbard the leader of the divisive church have been declared illegal in russia. now the russian foreign minister has highlighted double standards at the u.n. over the organization's approach to the arab world said he loved says the crisis in the syria and yemen are provoking vastly different and unjustified approaches peter

all of our reports from moscow. mr lavrov was addressing a meeting of the foreign affairs committee of the duma just behind me he highlighted and sets out really where russia stands concerning the ongoing situations in the arab world now he gets out of what he sees as a western desire for regime change in the middle east saying that this was unacceptable and that russia would not support it on the any circumstances he also went on to highlight the fact that this was actually against international law bellman russia feels a little disappointed to say the least about the way that the the situation in libya has progressed russia of course abstaining from the vote on the u.n. resolution that allowed international intervention there they very disappointed at the way they see that mission has gone beyond the parameters laid out in the u.n. resolution and came to avoid a similar fate

a similar situation occurring in syria yemen. said to love rolph pulling no punches he hit out at those that have have criticised russia's stance on the u.n. security council and also had a few words to say himself 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 but nobody's going to the u.n. security council to try and stop it. reiterating in some ways words he has said before that russia wants to see peace brought around brought about in the arab world to discussion and diplomacy and not international intervention something that they will not support. siggy lover of has also announced that moscow is waiting for

confirmation from libyan rebels that they have received weapons from france well if proven true the russian foreign minister says it would be a serious violation of the u.n. arms embargo french officials earlier edited their military has airlifted arms into the country it's the first time a nato member has owned up to supply of weapons to libya or that since bombing began over three months ago the alliance is pressing paris now to explain why it acted unilaterally without consulting brussels the un mandate on libya does allow military intervention to protect civilians but it falls short of authorizing ground invasion and arm supplies but paris based political analyst john laughlin says three countries have hijacked the mandate the admission that france is arming the rebels is very obviously an admission that what's going on in libya is a fight between the government and armed rebels and armed rebels are not civilians so any attack by the government on armed rebels in libya is therefore not

necessarily a war crime in other words this news is not only incompatible with the case that's being made for war in libya are completely contradicted there is no doubt that the three countries britain france and america who are waging this war under the disguise of nato of course wish to see the rebels seize power by force and overthrow gadhafi we must be careful about using the word nato this war is being fought by britain france and america they use nato as the figleaves but nato itself is of course much bigger and there is not unanimity in nato only a few days ago the attorney and foreign minister said that there should be a ceasefire in order to allow humanitarian aid through so i think that this latest news from fronts will possibly increase tensions within the coalition although i repeat that the war is being waged by three countries using nato as a disguise. and now was some international stories we're covering for you today.

headquarters then you can see the big job they've got on the lower floor they sell some of these books of those materials that were considered by the court to contain cools for extreme activities now 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 books that was thought to be found to contain cools 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 in full so these books 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. decision is surprising l. ron hubbard's writing have been going around the world for sixty years people across hundreds of sixty five countries have been using books to make their lives
