saved out islam he says nature's goal is to control even around its resources as they are lions around stop as tribes of the country. and outside it's from the freedom of religion that carrying humanitarian aid for the palestinians in gaza are demanding explanations from the greek authorities which help find personnel from leaving ports and they believe the decision was made under pressure from a zero ambiguous. and a very warm welcome to the program this is all she's a weekly review i'm a huge national of our time main story greece is to get its latest payout from the union the next two weeks according to euro zone finance ministers they also plan to focus on discussing a second bailout for the country the release of the twelve billion euro tranche

needed to avert a default came however a surprise which has outraged the greek public the greek parliament passed a radical start demanded by the u.n. international monetary fund including a sell off of state assets are swift budget cuts hope to that's almost eighty. billion viewers of peace now really balance the measures trying to widespread public opposition with returns to saying the current studies ordinary people are not responsible for the economic crisis three days of demonstrations left hundreds injured as angry crowds clashed with police who responded with tear gas and stun grenades and financial journalist demetri coffin as husband with protesters this time of the square at the focal point of the rest. 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 a 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 for constitutional scholars and former members of the

government they claim that the measure quickly unconstitutional the first place because you need one hundred eighty members of parliament to pass this 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 discovered at some point i said of things it really of the violence is a really big issue because if if the pilot 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 that government have to fall to i don't see the people in this country lined out there's a report that the head of the pharmaceutical national pharmaceutical station 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 it was just tear gas there were other chemicals and including a succeeding 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 people were very angry here and they're very upset and they understand what's going on and understand these measures are not going to help them and their future. and cash won't how plays a part time by critics something. i don't have. facts right. on the streets of athens the voices of discontent growing louder. it's a war we did not create this tour and we're going to pray for this day we want to become like a bug that's greece continues to fight against economic ruin second play out. an attempt to prevent greece from defaulting on its previous lame attainments that the greek people will be seeing a penny. of money actually comes into the greek economy it all

goes out for. us about us onstage the banks and prevent a large scale financial crisis for the people the price is simply too high they see their income going down they see. taxes and nothing else their money does not go very early here is struggling against harshest parity measures has meant the government now faces an electorate opposed to another bailout there's been lots of people are asking when the i.m.f. european central bank and the e.u. provided that initial to the tune of one hundred billion euros get a little hoss. and move on to plan b. because they thought the quest to manage another bailout package and pay back the loans for a lot of people. in fact when it comes to the choice many people now increase think we don't want to help their actions as being poor and interest rates.

as much as they can. get out. of this the problem. is the problem i mean very proper. almost everything people below it certainly can it's a high cost for the cuts in public spending and raising taxes and then of course of privatization. it would mean a sale of many greek 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 on their faulty lonely policies it is almost as if there's a lot of holy alliance of politicians and bankers versus all. it's a fight that the people say they're not prepared to lose thirty r.t. athens greece was not the only country gripped by protests this week as u.k.

public sector workers went on strike on thursday disrupting schools our ports and other services hundreds of thousands of union members took part demanding the conservative liberal coalition government refrain experience to cut their pensions as it slashes eighty billion pounds equivalence one hundred thirty billion dollars from public spending on trees or m it reports. down tools up with industrial action an autumn of discontent starts here this time it's a public sector workers walking out unhappy with the planned reform of their pensions which they say will see them paying a lot more and getting a lot less but again if it was worth it. if it. worked for me to think it will be back if it is yanked it will make the changes that make it eventually very necessary to make its way to dress so i think we do need to make cutbacks in things like being. right in the quality ranges by so much as it is

these people do a huge variety of key work from teachers 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 set 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 fallacy 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 a short public church workers do already get very generous pensions and the cost of this pensions is very much which of the carpets and the burden falls on to the next generation big really is absolutely essential the public sector and. reform don't even after they are reformed public sector workers will get saw better pensions and worse private sector 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 a current fifty billion dollar pension bill but it may be cutting off its nose to spite its face the wider issue here according to the u.k. pension fund future it bothers me if public sector work if no don't think that

helps it worthwhile it made me stop contributing to that if there was a widespread withdrawal pension funds would collapse and that would leave u.k. p.l.d. the very shores of investment just what it needs it more than ever your average party loved it. and i'm serious chris and i have signs that bind is not to blame for the state of britain's finances but if a conflict of resistance continues it could threaten the government. what's happening here is that a crisis caused by bankers and who the politicians are their pocket is what they're those politicians are making us proud as if. hardworking teachers hardworking civil servants hardworking lecturers and i know this i'm responsible for this crisis we all know that's not true so let's deal with it let's deal with a little with the problem at its roots let's crack down on what i regard as actually electoral fraud and criminal activity we have already seen that this

coverage is actually very weak i mean nobody voted for it that's the put to start with and it has already made a couple u. turn so we definitely think we can force a u. turn on this one and what's going to happen of course is that it's not going to just white collar workers we're building tools it looks as if the government on the back down but building support for something it was something an absolutely enormous we're building towards something we haven't seen in this country since ninety twenty six a general strike and that's going to be very powerful and the government will will will will fall if it comes to that. this is an experience coming out the not so international monetary fund if ministers elected as the new head of the i.m.f. sparking can sunday fund could remain western oriented. also find out why the demolition of a religious monument in ukraine led to london two years. later says it's increasing as trikes and western leave there were rebels say they're advancing find the territories that colonel gadhafi forces still control the alliance that are strikes i don't know that military targets are thousands of people have fled from

their homes in fear and while turkey has followed a number of other nato member states declaring its recognizing the rebels as the true representatives of libya's people as yes there's no sign of a menace to the conflict or the rebels continue to reject the african union's offer to arrange talks between governments cut down his government maria for notion reports now from the front lines. the road from the capital tripoli to is lined with the aftermath of war towns abandoned as the population slowed to go bald and. this is what's left of the airport in the siege of. one of the country's key. the last plane to go from this runway just hours before it was hit. they said it's only he'd been the targets of military value these telecommunications tower some fifteen minutes west of the. choice.

would this is a site they've been to as tribes and they've also accidentally. to cause i've killed two civilians since and there is no t.v. in this area it is we can see. it has also been disrupted. there is no water and. what used to be heaven. has become hell home now and familiar. that the. children innocent. to my relatives abroad i don't want them to see their mother and such a condition of their family's small poor brother gas used to flow to europe and. we used to produce fuel to send to them and they'll see they destroy it all this is terrible and ridiculous at 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 a tuesday jobs just before the bombers arrive. this run so as you can see there is

a sign here in arabic but maybe taylor is here to leave it to him for his own over the country to protect civilians on the other side there is another sign also in arabic saying that nato can attack any place at any time. any time happened three times over several hours while we were filming really delivers major parties whether from sunrise dividing the country to two parts into two swear one side is going to put one flashpoint within the rubble of the gadhafi forces it's a very important point to to quote casey gets in a firm hand on this town would mean taking control over the country's economy all facilities seem to be a rare target the nato bombs never land on. the civilian population can hardly scape. they were like my family 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 for all companies start with friends here that after work. we were eating with my colleagues then there was a blast we knew what it was we tried to help those who were trapped but then the helicopters came and started to shoot at us. ones to lead to another stories are repeated. a problem oh. they're not so there's. a group of big ben being a big kid our civilians but there's no no there there's a country this is probably libya well those voices become more and more frequent is the sound of exploding warms and warplanes a drowns them. out t. keep only. going around the oscars alarmed by the ambiguous interpretation of the un security council resolution only via the concern has been raised at a meeting between russian and french foreign ministers after paris admitted

supplying weapons to the rebels as the first ties as they kept a campaign began that a nato member has owned up to airlift in arms to the country francis says the framework of the resolution allows for all means when it comes to protecting peaceful so there's something russia calls an adhesive the vague wording of the document and loosen the grip solution nine hundred seventy three contains chapter four which allows anyone to do anything this very chance it was the cause of our problems with the mandate in all other aspects we support it and as we have warned now we're facing a rather unpleasant situations when it can be interpreted in most different ways i think moscow in paris and other un security council members are interested for the body to release concise documents and international law does not need to put up with ambiguity. the african union is calling on member states to ignore their arrest warrant issued in the hague this week against colonel gadhafi it doesn't

abide by the international criminal court's request believe indeed it would be able to evade prosecution by staying in neighboring countries auntie's exclusively colonel conduct his son is also wanted for war crimes save others land says the warrant is a sham after nato has a chance to kill him or his family. this or is it is it is it is and you can the last court come on the accuse me of killing people nobody would ignore the sentence against the will of the capital punishment so they decided and i did kill my brother i destroyed the house saw the need to execute you so now you are the world to me the humans are going to give me and you are after me overdue phone call to fly and they are to give me really a model of soul is the world number two just or to the supreme court i will do what we are trying to do you should with a deal to look at this be it we think it will cost what does the good news is the

court is controlled by. which i think. every day is just report of psychological and political pressure but of. so don't miss the full exclusive interview with carol his son in about thirty minutes time here on r.t. . pro palestinian activists determined to sail to browser to deliver humanitarian aid despite being branded by the government in athens from leaving greek ports the freedom flotilla has been stuck in the country as the greek authorities have refused permission to leave port and arrested an american captain a one of the wrestles activists to please the greek government of acting under pressure from the u.s. and israel which they claim damage to shape stocks in. agrees tel aviv has dismissed as nelson's claims that special forces sabotage the ships trying to break its gaza have located the thirteen is being compared to another last chair which
