the u.s. . a mass walk out of public sector workers hit schools airports and job centers across the u.k. as people protested against their pensions being slashed. the national news live from moscow this is r t with me rena joshing today we take a look at the top stories of the week greece has erupted into some of the worst civil unrest it's seen this week as thousands of angry protesters flooded the streets of athens the eurozone has agreed to expand a life line to the canonically crippled country but people raged against tough new cuts and tax hikes which were needed to secure the second handout faced with twenty eight billion euro. it's worth of the stare he measures protesters gathered and

fried the parliament building stones at police massed windows and set fire to property police responded with tear gas and stun grenades thousands from both sides were injured while many demonstrators were detained the e.u. and the international monetary fund are preparing to release an extra twelve billion euros in the next two weeks without the money greece will default on its loans within days of financial journalist demetri coffeehouse says the greek government has simply bought itself a stay of execution. i think that people here pretty much given up on the three hundred members of parliament that reside in the in the apartment building across the street from the constitution where i think the only real option for them right now for the protesters and for the greek people is if some sort of political option or movement develops out of the society out of the ranks of ordinary people who are intelligent or capable who come from universities who have some idea of what the country needs according to scholars here in greece or constitutional scholars and

former members of the government they claim that the measure completely unconstitutional the first place because you need one hundred eighty members of parliament to pass a sort of legislation first of all second of all they can pass whatever they like but if the people don't agree to it and the people are not willing to sit down and take it it doesn't really matter what they pass and that's what we're seeing here right now what you're looking to have happen is you're going to see a fall of this government some point that sort of things it really of the violence is a really big issue because if if the violence if this results in casualties not just massive injuries then that's going to it's going to lead to a collapse of this government will that mean that the next government will come in and actually do something productive maybe maybe not but then the government have to fall to i don't see the people in this country lying down one of the things that is circulating around here is a video that shows police not just police brutality but there's a lot of that but also police working with provocateurs agent provocateur which will be escorted into a safe location of that they were communicating with and relaying information from there's a report that the head of the pharmaceutical national crime. superstation here in

greece is going to be filing a lawsuit along with other people against the government for use of illegal substances because these weren't just this was just tear gas there were other chemicals including a strict seating agents and that's why you see a lot of people here i saw them myself and a lot of people other people saw them passing out not being able to breathe people inside the metro station not being able to breathe the hospital for that reason these people are very angry here in the very upset and they understand what's going on and they understand these measures are not going to help them and their future. despite the violent protest e.u. officials have welcomed the greek astaire any measure saying a move will help a conjured get back into a path of recovery president usera first has been finding out many greeks believe the plans are to rescue the banks not the people. on the streets of athens the voices of discontent the growing louder. it's a war we did not create this tour we're going to pay for this that we want to

become like a bug a squeeze continues to fight against economic ruin. and it can't prevent us from previous lame payments that people will be seeing a penny. of this money actually comes into the greek economy it all goes out. the battlezone save the banks and prevent a large scale financial crisis for the people the price is simply too high they see their income don't going down they see taxis taxis taxis and nothing else their money does not go through very early a year is struggling against hostile stereotyping measures because many government now faces an electorate opposed to another bailout or people here have been saying is that for. the i.m.f. the european central bank and the e.u. the greeks finance the initial buy. one hundred ten billion

a year when they'll start looking at ways of continuing to play money towards we really come to a plan b. if that when it comes to the troika many people now in greece simply don't want their help their actions is being torn and to self interest. groups you know where to get as much as the. big get out if they are going to get all the. state. property and they are going to give almost everything for the people to follow it certainly can it's a high cost for the cuts in public spending and raising taxes and in the course of privatization program that would mean the sale of many quit public assets one of the reasons that everybody is so determined to keep greece in the euro is so that the banks don't have to take a serious hit of their faulty lending policies result as if there's

a whole other holy alliance of politicians of bankers versus ordinary people it's a fight that the people say they're not prepared to lead. on t. athens. eurozone finance ministers are working out the fire details of the athens rescue package but law professor cost us from the university of london says the bailout will effectively hand over greek sovereignty to the e.u. and the international monetary fund. that the sudden movement of people in the public to have been caught up to forty percent. unemployment going up to about sixty percent before. unemployment which means of the whole generation of young people is being destroyed. a hundred fifty pounds of jobs lost in the private sector and the but some of the most important people to.

he's been sold will go to the moment but this is an iou and murphy polls open in new york with lawyers for the bush and for you to play a game of using your call on you because of the looks of the government that has been looks at these measures that were insisting the amount of the opposition all of the usual parties should accept so we have a future in which the range of structure of greece is no move from athens to brussels and the other european centers and the greek politicians and the greek public has been relieved to implement what it would have been beside the. now as law professor cost us talking about how the bailout is taking decisions out of greece's hands. on monday the international criminal court issued an arrest warrant for levy is colonel gadhafi excusing himself crimes against humanity in the hague has grounds to believe he ordered attacks of civilians during the beginning of levy's unrest with scores bad

to have been killed the african union said it will not cooperate with the tribunals demand an exclusive interview with r.t. colonel gadhafi son safe on islam who is also under the court's arrest warrant says international justice is nothing more than a sham. but this course is that as it becomes called come on the accuse me of killing people everybody you know the sentence against your punishment so they decided and can read and understood kill my brother and destroy the house so there's you need to excuse so now you are like i was i rest me three months ago you look at me and you are after me every day you are trying to find me on security and my brother so does the world number two just to tell you that the supreme court our military what we are trying to do with a deal to get to this the we think it. what is new that we used to call it is

controlled by those countries. which i think us every day it's just report of psychological and political pressure that are. in see the full interview was safe on islam in about twenty minutes time here in our t.v. or you can find it on our website com. maybe libyans feel that the criminal court is just a cover for nader's attempts to kill colonel gadhafi saying it's the alliances members who should be held to account for the bombing campaign r.t. is a very of an arson investigator the consequences of the continuing airstrikes which are said to be the record only at the military targets. the road from the capital tripoli to gregor is aligned with the aftermath of war towns abandoned as the population flowed the bombardment. this is what's left of the civilian airport in

the siege of. home to one of the country's key oil refineries the last plane took off from this runway just hours before it was hit late is the senate's only hitting the targets of military value they call say the telecommunications tower so fifty milligrams of. that's been destroyed in a time it's like gary this is a state they've been to the strikes and they've also accidentally burned two cars and killed two civilians and there is no t.v. in this area and as we can see the phone light has also been disrupted. there is no water and no lights recently what used to be heaven this man says has become held on to his home now feels and familiar. i have nine children and i send them all to my relatives abroad i don't want them to see their motherland in such a condition but. from least small paul not far from greg even gas used to flow to

europe. we used to produce fuel to send to them and now see they destroy it all this is terrible and ridiculous of the same time the closer you get to the front line the more you feel it you can hear the war and you can even read it on nature's leaflets jobs just before the bombs arrive. this runs as you can see the reason sign here in arabic but nato is here to leave it to inform us and i'll fly zone over the country to protect civilians on the other side there is another sign also in arabic saying that nato can attack any place any time. any time happened three times over several hours while we were feeling really good neighbors major parties where the front five guys divided the country into two parts into to see their own sides is the flick one flash forward between the rebels and gadhafi forces it's a very important point as to take the quotation getting

a firm handle on this town would mean taking control over the country's economy all facilities seem to be a red target the nato bombs never land on. the civilian population can hardly scape . they were like my family not to i had just gone to the shop to buy some foods and this happened six of them died i couldn't believe it. and this used to be a restaurant company staff or friends gathered after work and when we were eating with my colleagues then there was a we knew what that was we trying to help those trapped in the helicopters came and started to shoot at us. from one street to another the stories are repeated reconsidered by the problem although we didn't interfere later not through this imagine everybody had to did welding a big killed our civilians but there's no not a great visit contribution is probably via well they became more and more frequent

as the sound of exploding bombs and warplanes a drowns them. out t. cheap only bragger. moscow has raised concern over france supplying weapons to levy and rebels and over and big u.s. interpretations of the un security council resolution alleviate france's admission is the first time a nato member has opened up to air lifting arms to the country since the beginning of the campaign russia has also criticized what it calls the double standards being applied to the situations unfolding in syria and yemen moscow's opposed to adopting a un resolution condemning crackdowns on protesters in syria fearing such a mandate could ask away even more violence foreign minister sergei lavrov said the continuing turmoil in the two countries is being treated in completely different ways. completely many have been criticizing russia and china's position on the un security council's resolution on syria for the fact that we consider such

a resolution appropriate 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 with nobody's going to the u.n. security council to try and stop it so still ahead here in our team no man's land french finance minister christine lagarde steps into the global economies temple as the first woman ever to have the international monetary fund. and we find out whether egypt could yet again become a boiling point pod in the middle east as thousands take to the streets accusing the interim government of a lack of change. but captain of a gaza aid ship has been arrested by greek authorities after trying to leave port without permission several ships with activist and humanitarian aid for their blockade of palestinian territory were start in the port of karama your athens on friday campaigners claim greece is working under the orders of the us the flotilla

is drawing parallels to the gaza bout convoy that was stormed by israeli remains last year and resulted in the deaths of nine people at r.t. correspondent is on board one of the ships that's been seized she says people are still determined to carry on with their mission the spy greece's actions. you need not or did not look for the two will not give up there are twelve members of the european and other national parliaments among the three guys and activists and they're trying to pull strings to force the governments to influence greece's decision to block the ships in its harbors and lawyers from the freedom flotilla are suing the greek government's actions are unlawful because the ships cannot be prohibited from going to gaza and they should not be restrained from leaving freely i've seen every part of the ship i'm on and there are no weapons or anything that could be used as weapons the people who participate in the free gaza flotilla are harmless most are elderly many are over sixty and even seventy. if i was

thirty correspond and there's a i was aboard one of the ships stopped by greek authorities from sailing to gaza. as there is they the u.k. partly came to halt was more than half of all state schools forced to close and disruption brought to air and ground transport hundreds of thousands of civil servants took to the streets against the government's plans to slash their pensions and increase the retirement age old the action. down tools up with industrial action and autumn of discontent starts here this time it's public sector workers walking out on happy with a plan to reform of their pensions which they say will see them paying a lot more and getting a lot less like a fifty eight week make that if it can work for me fifteen feet will be back in fifty eight it will take it to changes that make it eventually very necessary to his way to address it so i think we do need to make cutbacks in things

like being. right in the quality bridges by so much as it is these people do a huge variety of key work from teaches and lecturers to air traffic controllers and coast guards unisons the u.k.'s biggest public sector trade union deputy chief paul babbly says his one point three million members already for prolonged industrial action we're almost a war footing we've got thirty million pain sets aside and we've got a strategy work but i must stress that's not what we want to do we want to talk to the government and negotiate a sensible package nor the ridiculous package of their proposal at the moment that package involves raising the retirement age from sixty to sixty six raising pension contributions by workers and having payouts based on average career earnings rather

than final salary the unions admit public support is fundamental the government's very unlikely to change its mind about reforms if the public at large doesn't back the unions but that's by no means assured public sector workers do already get very generous pensions and the cost of this pensions is very much under the carpet and the burden falls on to the next generation a great is absolutely essential that public sector pay. reformed and even after their reformed public sector workers will get for the pensions and this presence or two workers the unions want to apply enough pressure to force the government to change its mind and it's no stranger to you turns it was hell bent on reforming the health service too until it decided to take longer to think about it causing friction in the coalition the government's doing this to reduce the current fifty billion dollar pension bill but it may be cutting off its nose to spite its face that the white issue here according to the new u.k.

pension fund to pay for the big public sector work it's no joke that what while they may not keep you think that if there was a widespread with cool heads in the public would collapse and that would leave you take p.l.d. the very shores of investment just what it needs it more than ever your avatar to love that. she is the first woman at the helm of lot of the world's most powerful financial organizations but the new i am after she's christine legarde isn't shying away from putting a heavy burden of the earth problems on her shoulders that is to count as more on the implications of the points for the global economy. christine lagarde appointment keeps a european at the head of the world's top lender keeping the long held tradition intact and in a debt crisis having one of its own carrying the international monetary fund could be more important than ever for europe i think so. intimate knowledge

of those mechanisms. of the european community and the eurozone of its many leaders can help lead guards main competitor was augustine carstens from mexico who argued her point meant would only add to the perception of i.m.f. why it's there could be some call for me to feel interest i mean they know their main borel are things and pollution will be they will europe north so will have his inflation were they war or stormy meaning to create the institutional emerging economies the engine of global growth in recent years are vastly under-represented in the organization with the u.s. and europe holding half of the votes and veto power and always suggests i am have gone as has had a negative effect on the world's economy and they would use their monopoly over. force certain policies. on countries in these there were

no national interest the i.m.f. lends money monitors the global economy and in theory at least prevents crises its credibility has been shattered by the financial collapse in the advanced economies which it definitely did not spot they missed the two big or biggest asset bubbles in the history of the world i think they didn't want to go against all their friends on wall street and others there were making a fortune or some experts see the intimacy between the i.m.f. and u.s. corporations as a matter of concern all of the big decisions at the i.m.f. are made by the u.s. treasury department then you had of the i.m.f. is more than familiar with the u.s. corporate world for years she worked at a major american law firm representing the interests of big business and is a member of the u.s. poland defense industry working group had the best interests of aviation giants like boeing and lockheed martin helping them to seal multi-billion dollar deals

that you are seeing here of the. christine lagarde the best fit for the job so did several emerging markets including russia and china but she faces the difficult task of appearing independent this vibrant past and will struggle not to cement even further the perception that the i.m.f. exists only for the benefit of its creditors i'm going to check our reporting from washington our. age it's fragile interim leadership is facing the strain with a renewed violence on the streets this week officials have ordered a probe into clashes in cairo which left more than a thousand people injured after recent protests riot police used tear gas to disperse demonstrators who held the officers with stones and firearms the unrest began over the slow pace of prosecution for senior officials and police officers accused of brutality during the mass uprising fabby activists are also calling for the speedy implementation of reforms demanded you were in the revolt the top

anything about this in the corporate news it's as if that revolutions done and dusted in the egyptian people are failing. well if you've missed something where covering an arab league it always catches the line here's a taste of what's fair for you right now. a man israeli i guess live behind bars after murdering his two year old daughter to get back at his ex partner but before stabbing the child to death he announced his intention on facebook. to get around trip of the action from this year's moscow international film festival where it's banished movies snatch the top prize for all the glitz and glamor log on to our website r t v dot com. belarus remains at a financial quagmire whether its economy paralyzed prize is rising in the value of the local ruble plummeting hard currency has all but disappeared from the country as well as most important goods out of the russian government is hoping for a several billion dollar bailout from the i.m.f.
