incredibly proud of their heritage many people feel that the privatization proposals would be simply stripping grace of public. potentially up for grabs for the lenders banks water companies and chain of traitors amongst many more at stake in the large telecommunications company aig he is also a sale with the. o.t. there's been a continuous crime for the past twenty years they've sold off our companies piece by piece and now we only own a small percentage but that small stake is extremely important to the greek people but they want to sell even though. it's a huge turn for the present government who were heavily opposed to the sale of eighty shares when they were acting as opposition. they called it a national crime when the previous government sold shares now they want to do the same and sell the shares now at a low price we don't think we'll see investment or any development of o.t. we think the only thing others will care about is profit profit profit. big
2:12 pm
continuous calls from the public to refuse the aggressive privatization proposals set forth by the troika has seemingly gone and heard their present from the european union is three men who we would talk about blackmail i guess the greek government critics have argued that they thanking a bailout acting out to self-interest keeping profits private loss the loss is to say she lies nothing new here it's not like greeks have to stretch back into deep history to figure this out we can look at latin american we can look at countries all over the world where the i.m.f. has come in and sacrificed and plundered the nation for corporate consolidation and prime minister pap injuries think of avoiding the country's caps at all cost but many are now asking just how high a price he's willing to pay someone dies there's something very tragic occurs that's going to be a catalyst for i think a fall of this government the e.u. has stated fairly there's no plan b.

the a stereotype measures being enacted buses theory builds on the streets might be time they thought of one. party athens. well we have more stories for your largest love onto our web site r t dot com for access to fresh updates videos and much more and here's a taste of what's there right now are these correspondent is reporting firsthand from one of the boats of infamous freedom flotilla which is set to sail to the blockade of gaza. and also online for you blind aircraft pilots with laser pens will soon face time in jail for the life threatening prank. the american civil liberties union is in a legal battle with the department of state over the release of classified documents on the u.s. war on terror the diplomatic cables expose a washington methods of abduction interrogation and detention of suspected terrorists well they c.l.u. demands that they're made
2:14 pm
a public for official investigation despite the fact the documents have already been published by the online whistleblower wiki leaks well the shut some light of this story we cross live over to the atlantic to sacramento where allison we're president of the council for the national interest joyce says now thank you very much for joining us first of all alison these cables are already available for the public around the world so why bother to declassify them. that's that's one of the main points of this lawsuit these are public cables they have now been published in the new york times in many newspapers across the united states as well as the rest of the world so it's absurd for the state department to keep them that's fine truthfully they should not have been classified in the first place they have nothing to do with national security issues and with facts that it would be dangerous for the for anyone to know they were just classified because they are violating u.s. laws it appears and because they would be very embarrassing to the u.s.
2:15 pm
government that's not a basis on which to classify things are looking at the the content of these cables out of thousands of classified cables only twenty if there have been selected for this case what's so special about them well i think they wanted to choose very very clearly a small number that would be reasonable to declassify quickly that do concern violations of deep american principles these are our cable embassy cables talking about the torture of people about the targeting for assassination by people abroad the this is violates us all means there are there are very specific cables that have come out publicly that should now be made officially public the problem with keeping them the food declassified is that it makes them unavailable third lawyers that are pursuing cases having to do with these particular incidents they
2:16 pm
make it possible for the government to refuse to answer questions about them because mostly they're classified secret information so it's a very important lawsuit. making it officially public it's been three months since the request was submitted to the department of state and still no response so when can we expect america to release these documents if they do so at all. that's really impossible to tell as you say it's been three months they've been trying to do this they came out over a year and a half ago americans were able to read them although attorneys working on these cases are prohibited by the government reading them it's an absurd situation it makes no sense whatsoever it violates fundamental rights states and yet the government refuses to answer i tried calling them to find out why and when when they were not releasing these why they put me in the. end and we're just not getting a response from argument. or people who pay attention all of this this really isn't
2:17 pm
the first time that information has been leaked to the public eye or has come out in terms of what america is doing an. attack on terrorism so how could these new revelations should they be made public and for us america's methods of tackling terrorism if they will be and for us at all i think they would be in i think it would be important for them to become officially public i think probably what this lawsuit does that significant is it needs it reveals that this sort of alice in wonderland nature of the government today in which this down and back is. forward and black is white you know the absurdity of what's going on in washington d.c. and it's not just absurd it's very damaging it's significant because it is changing the situation in government here and more people need to work on it. he was doing
2:18 pm
it and taking it just a broader perspective of baseball since the tough. place post nine eleven but as the u.s. has not suffered any major domestic attack does that mean that the approach is working. no i mean i don't think the approach is one hundred who just damage the u.s. . so tuesday this approach is to keep us safer to save our country to save our system of government and instead of this system of government the principles that we operated on are being dismantled from within by this it's approach that was taken both george bush by the obama administration again these are not key bills that are in any really. important to keep right certainly all of them want american officials to d.c. to do. the actions that are illegal that are required by the real group to have
2:19 pm
sensible american policies these are not being classified because national security issues do not be classified to keep u.s. officials a broad safe they're being testified to prevent embarrassment to the u.s. government and to prevent the american public from being we're the government why don't leave our u.s. law and we believe in the rule of law in this country that's what american citizens want that's what mayor goodman to uphold and these are remaining there's a fight to turn to prevent them from us long as that's not a reason for keep the keep secret all right thank you very much for your analysis and your thoughts alice and we are president of the council for the national interest thank you. now the chinese communist party is celebrating its ninetieth year after taking power in the revolution of one nine hundred forty nine the party turned china into the world's fastest growing economy well for more we're now joined live from the u.k.
2:20 pm
by professor of the university of nottingham thank you very much professor yow for being on the program well china has made incredible achievements under the communist party but has the quality of life for the ordinary chinese caught up with this in. anomic boom which yeah i kinda vast majority of people living standing in could question if it can feel even the most disadvantaged to school or the poor people was income here being quits but in the meantime because of realizing equality so they really really. nice it's not fairly obvious i mean you have some says of low income people will may not trios as heavy as still its people so yeah we have been fairly successful economy but the kinds of social inequality in justice in corruption and pollution big edge really have at this guy quite a lot so social problems that are just following that train of thought of social problems so the president did mention corruption as one of the problems that they
2:21 pm
have to were overcome what do you think china has to solve within itself before it can go want to achieve its other bigger roles and you mentioned social inequality what is it about civil liberties and law enforcement what else should they be solving internally. they you just mentioned even the president say the corruption is number one problems and because of corruption the link looks of many other issues like income inequality the lighting housing prices inclusion so. china can control the scale corruption in the make sure that this inside he is a little bit happier estie economy goes also they all do nearly people king increase their income sumo ten years free and they feel they have freedom in civil liberty them to society will be much better so what china has been doing now is icing it is very good but it's not true to the best. potential because people are
2:22 pm
walking is simply hot in china says it's really depend greatly on the hot working of people the high saving razik who paled to high investment but a country that is not the issue dickie it may be the kinds of sustainability because of fast growth in the past three decades they're questioning if they can china sustain for another twenty or thirty years of hospitals and not what are their fundamental issues if the economy is far too depending on low cost many affecting bodger depending on consumption while rome until hosting energy and of prices overall machinery or energy have increasing for lives lost over the last decade so this is something the challenge for the next stage of the roman i think it will be much more difficult for china to face aren't a professor yeah let's just look at comparing russia and china and what's so
2:23 pm
fascinating about china for those who are watching and this is this economic miracle so what has china done right that the soviet russia had not done perhaps as well as china had. i shouldn't do this so but they probably make a mistake in life alone beginning because you have seventy years of common needs in a collective it is him and mr gubb it sort of trying to solve the problem in one go with some sort of political economy leave reform. poach the time it's really a duck to them all great you approach it like been shopping who mentioned it we don't actually have a particular model to follow because they're lost in more dough it's not very good . of fail the west and more though it's not suitable for china because the west in their democracy it is not because of democracy take time it can contemplate so china adopted to one character least a cog because of socialism but in effect it incorporate the loss of element of k.

took a pill to them and a plague medical pot which equipped you approached in the form which started from the fairly easy sector like agriculture and moving to industries started from the countryside and then moved to the city from the dumbest to give form to our silent form our time to take their fairly long term view of these kinds of posts opening up in cold mystic indic to sonali form to get or so digits probably quite a few contacts between china and russia are just very briefly now it is a fact that china has is a nuclear power it has the largest army in the world now while countries are trying to partner with china should they also be worried about china's power. i won't be surprised if some smaller neighborhood. believe it or even. a little bit wildly. this is quite unusual as in chinese now you commonly call it possible
2:25 pm
given equal be very unusual for china to become miniature leaves really strong but they are strong china india where do you go beg for leave to security for the chinese. will be. for other people they made china emerging as a miniature me to truly make them quite sure i do i did to the nature. i thank you very much for your thoughts live from the u.k. that was university of nottingham professor sure thank you. now let's look at some stories from around the world this hour to new york where dominique strauss kahn has been released from house arrest say prosecutors have agreed to waive the bail in the sexual assault case against him the former i.m.f. chief posted six million u.s. dollars assurity which will now be returned to him and the release comes after prosecutors raise doubts about the credibility of the housekeeper at the center of the case of she claims to have been raped by strauss kahn in may allegations he

2:27 pm
hello and a very warm welcome to the business day britain has introduced a new anti bribery little covering overseas operations of companies doing business in the u.k. it makes little difference for large international firms who are ready comply with time to legislation in the united states but small companies for emerging economies like russia are likely to be affected most the former head of to corruption at the u.k. serious fraud office explains how the law works. the law says that any company that carries on a business or even part of the business in the u.k. can be subject to the new corporate offense the bribery act is only one part of a long list of obligations that companies have internationally so if a company's activities in russia put it in conflict with those obligations well that company will have to sit back and think whether or not it can do business in russia and that really isn't where russia wants to be you want to be able to say
2:28 pm
that russia is a great place to do business the key here is that in order to remove an impediment to inward investment russia will really need to tackle any domestic corruption first before it goes after the foreign public officials and if it can do that then i think companies will have much more confidence in investing in the country. let's have a quick check on the markets here stocks are open strongly on friday our national gauge of manufacturing in june exceeded expectations and european stocks are higher more it was top of the foot so index for the second day the second shares were up almost four percent on friday after soaring nine point seven percent the day before as markets give thumbs up to father cost cutting measures and a new strategy for the lender. and also on friday the russian markets fires back from their earlier losses the r.g.s. one point six percent at the close to my sixth try to break the seven hundred mark

2:30 pm
to stay unchanged for the next couple of months this is clearly positive for russian equities this week president medvedev also reiterated a number of pro-business comments including plans to privatizing a number of companies including plans to cut the payroll tax substantially and then today he announced a decree to create a centralized depository which once in place will make it much more convenient on the one hand and much less expensive on the other hand for foreign investors to invest in russian local shares so that's why for now another business update in less than forty five minutes so stay with us.
