taste top stories of the week of course now rescue the he releases the twelve billion here a tranche of read from last year's bailout packages of vetting and then put into greek default and was upon us on the streets during the week in response to those terry supply needed to secure the. hundreds of thousands of public sector what gets take part in a one day nationals trying to cross the u.k. of a government council plans to slash that pensions and other benefits. good poor people throughout the according to complete that. is the only good this is the target of. the lot of them to do that. so the fight will continue. i'll see exclusively interviews colonel gadhafi son saif al islam he says made his goal is to control the media and it's her song says that minus a ground stop as trikes of the country. today it's from the freedom frontier like

carrying humanitarian aid for the palestinians in gaza to mounting explanations from the greek all sorts of things which i find fascinating polls they believe the decision was made on the pressure from these last. welcome to the program this is all c's weekly review and timeline story now greece has to get its latest payout from the e.u. in the next two weeks according to eurozone finance ministers they also plan to focus on discussing a second bailout for the country the release of the twelve billion euro tranche and it a default came however at a price which has outraged the greek public the greek parliament passed the vatican austerity plans demanded by the u.n. international monetary fund including a sell off of state assets and swift budget cuts that almost eighty billion euros

he's now any by the measures despite a widespread public opposition with protesters saying because what's in there are people not responsible for the economic mess three days of demonstrations that hundreds eight hundred as angry crowds clashed with police responded with tear gas and stun grenades but actual journalistic demetri confidence has been with protesters that syntagma square 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 the society out of the ranks of ordinary people who are intelligent who are 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 at some point i've said if things it really 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 that'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 governor will have to fall to i don't see the people in this country lying down there's a report that the head of the pharmaceutical national karma super. ation 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 in including a strict seating agents and that's why you see a lot of people here 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 and people are very angry here and the very upset and they understand what's going on and these measures are not going to help them and their future. and the fear that the cash won't how by critics. that the money will be used to pay all fines not

how the people of greece. on the streets of athens the voices of discontent the growing louder. it's a war we did not create this so we're not going to pay for this we want to take our lives but it's greece continues to fight against economic ruin second day in. an attempt to prevent greece from defaulting on its previous laman payments that the greek people will be seeing a penny. of this money actually comes into the greek economy. also battlezone save 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 taxes taxes and nothing else their money

does not go to very early a year a struggling against harshest areas he measures has meant the government now faces an electorate opposed to a bailout that's been lost of people also when the. european central bank and the e.u. provided a missile to the tune of one hundred ten billion euros going to look past the bed and move on to plan b. because the thought that grace come. managed another bailout package and pay back that loan for a lot of people is that they are realistic if that when it comes to the troika many people now in greece simply don't want their help their actions is being born as a self interest they throw. out a way to get as much as they can show to get out the are going to get all this they probably. probably i mean they're really property and they are going to get almost everything the people below it certainly can it's

a high cost for the cuts in public spending a raise in taxes and an aggressive privatization program that would mean the 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 lending policies and it's almost as if there's a whole other holy alliance of politicians and bankers versus ordinary people it's a fight that the people say they're not prepared to. r.t. athens. greece was not the only country gripped by pros has this week as u.k. public sector workers went on strike on thursday disrupting schools apples and other services hundreds of thousands of union members took part demanding the conservative liberal coalition government reframes plans to cut their pensions as it slashes eighty billion pounds appearance to one hundred thirty billion dollars from public spending. down tools up with industrial

action and autumn of discontent starts here this time it's the public sector workers walking out on happy with the planned reform of their pensions which they say will see them paying a lot more and getting a lot less but i kept saying even if it. might have worked for me it didn't take me back to fifty eight it would take the changes that i make it a pension or very necessary to fix the way to address it so i think we do need to make cutbacks in ten things i think. tried and tried to teach extensions by side it's nice to see 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

ball babble a says his one point three million members already for prolonged industrial action and we're on 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 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 a short public sector workers do already get very generous pensions and the cost of those pensions is very much under the carpet and the burden falls on to the next

generation a great is absolutely essential that public sector pain. or reform than even after they are reformed public sector workers will get far better pensions and most 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 is doing this to reduce a current fifty billion dollar pension bill but it may be cutting off its nose to spite its face that the wider issue here according to the union if you pay pension fund fugitives if you're a part of me public sector work if no don't effect the pensions of what while they may stop contributing to that if there was a widespread with jools pension funds would collapse and that would leave u.k. p.l.c. very short of investments just what it means that more than ever your avatar to london. coming up

a partner in trade reporter here is in decision on whether to join customs union with its eastern neighbors to the. nato says it's increasing strikes in western libya where rebels say they're advancing five to territories that colonel gadhafi forces still control the alliance says that as trying donetsk military targets but 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 you have there is no sign of an end to the conflict rebels continue to reject the african union's offer to arrange talks with his government he's very afraid notional reports from the front line. the road from the capital tripoli to brag is lined with the aftermath of war towns abandoned as the population and. this is what's left of the airport

but also home to one of the country's key. the last plane took off from this runway just hours before it was hate. to say so it's only heating the targets of military value what we call say these telecommunications towers some fifteen minutes west of the. destroyed. this is a state two strikes and they've also accidentally. two cars and killed two civilians since there is no t.v. in this area and as we can see a lot has also been disrupted. there is no water no electricity what used to be have been. has become. home now. that the. i have nine children and i send them all to my relatives abroad i don't want them to see their mother and says you condition. from the small poor not. 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 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. jobs just before the bombers arrive this run so as you can see there is a sign here and arabic name terror is here in libya to enforce 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 at any time. any time happened three times over several hours while we were filming regulators major parties where the frontline was dividing the country into two parts into two swear one side is going to put one flashpoint within the rebels and gadhafi forces it's

a very important point to quote the case 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 that nato bombs never learned. while it looks like the civilian population can hardly. they were like my family not just going 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 where friends gathered after work. we were eating with my colleagues then there was a blast we knew what it was we try to help those who were trapped but then the helicopters came and started to shoot at us. from one street to another their stories are repeated brigham so by our program i know. they are not so there's an imagine every day every day when being a big kid our civilians but there's been nothing from this country this is probably

libya well those voices become more and more frequent is the sound of exploding bombs and warplanes drowns them. out t. tripoli. meanwhile moscow's alarmed by them big ears in top rotation of the un security council resolution only there the concern has been raise it to meeting between russian and french foreign ministers after paris admitted supplying weapons to the rebels is the first time since the campaign began that a nato member has owned up to air lifting arms to the country francis says the framework of the resolution allows for all means when it comes to protecting peaceful civilians something russia calls an abuse of the vague wording of the document isn't she to resolution one 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 rather unpleasant situations when it can be interpreted in most

different ways i think moscow and paris and other un security council members are interested for the body to release concise documents to the international law does not need to put up with ambiguity. in union is calling a member states to ignore their arrest warrant issued in the hague this week against colonel gadhafi if they open eyes ation doesn't abide by the international criminal court's request really believes it would be able to evade prosecution by staying in neighboring countries artie's exclusively into his son was also wanted for war crimes and save others land says they were and is a sham after netas attempts to kill him and his family. the score. is a mickey mouse court come on the accuse me of for killing people you know the sentence against. the capital punishment so they decided to kill me and i did kill my brother and destroyed my house so this is me to execute you so

now you are talking about me three months ago you go to kill me and you are after me every day you are going to have to find me on to give me over there my brother so is the world number two just to tell you that the supreme court. they are trying to negotiate with a deal to have this deal with ticket of the court what does move it means is the court is controlled by those countries. which attack us every day it's just to put . political pressure better. and you can watch the full interview with colonel gadhafi son at our website it's r.t. dot com. moving on now pro products to activate said the term and to sail to gaza to deliver humanitarian aid despite being banned by the government in athens from leaving greek ports the freedom for it has been stuck in the country as the greek

russia belarus and kazakstan began a possible move many experts describe as highly beneficial for all sides the wording of goods and services produced in ukraine more or less meet market standards and are needed in these countries and the larger the market the more countries specialize in producing certain goods at the moment all of them loose ukrainian cassocks tan produced competing goods and are not using their natural advantages childers customs union will help them become more focused at the same time ukraine never hit its aspirations to join the european union and despite moscow's reassurances that the customs union can co-exist with the free trade space with europe we would all members of the customs union join the don't its presence is no hindrance to this process russia which is also a member of the customs union will seek the creation of the free trade zone with the european union i hope that this task isn't going to be a long run prospect russell did not seem too happy at ukraine trying to sit on the

tears as a stern warning to ukraine came from the european parliament which said should the country join the customs union with russia door still the e.u. will be shut for ever for ukraine and despite this statement coming not from the highest ranks in the e.u. it caused heated debate in kiev. now the post soviet states finds itself at the crossroads president going to court which trying to negotiate between the east and the west created a special commission on deepening ties with the customs union we don't try to choose between true petunias really try to find a formula that would let us use both for the benefit of our economy and unfortunately strong position of our european partners is that ukraine cannot be a member of crofton tyranny and if it wants to have refrigerator so that's why we have to and we do searching for a formula that can allow us to be close partners customs union to be

good to fracture of partner of the russian russian cover sun and an economic sphere but north becoming a full scale member experts say it is impossible to tell whether such a formula would be found but many stressed that the demand for most ukrainian goods and produce would definitely be higher in the russian market that in the e.u. . room of the european market is huge but it has very high standards and is heavily regulated it's really difficult to work there even for some european producers ukraine would struggle to fit in the market in the customs union a smaller goods produced by ukraine would be in high demand there while key of this carefully balancing between the east and the west for two or three of ukrainians say that despite european pastures being seemingly greener russia is after all closer to them and not only geo politically lets you assess the r.t. reporting from kiev in ukraine. let's now have a look at some other international news in brief this hour almost two hundred

landslide victory of thailand's opposition in a general election likely to mean the country's first woman prime minister the party of. ousted prime minister thaksin shinawatra who was toppled by the military five years ago has stepped swept to power and type parties all over half of the five hundred seats in the parliament the election marks a bruising defeat for the current regime backed by the army which last year and did widespread protests by the former premier's red shirt supporters. there are over seven hundred thousand living in russia with many facing big problems such as where to live when they grow up and leave their orphanages while it's the government that's obliged to provide state housing all too often it's a failure to offer adequate accommodation to all of the hazmat one woman now with two young children to hear her battle for a roof over her head. down dark and dilapidated.

this flap looks more like a prime candidate for demolition than a family home births twenty two year old mother of two lena has been told by social services that she's stuck here. perhaps they haven't seen this place inside they keep telling us true parents somehow a live here they showed me a paper on how to build a house i told them that i had no phones i have no job i have to take care of kids and i ended up renting a place they said it's not top problem lena grew up in an orphanage in the city of to be on the russian law she should have received state housing once she left the institution this flat was given to lena's mother by the state and despite having no money she's been told to fix it up. there's a tradition of absolutely desperate they didn't give me work because i don't have a profession for them i don't exist perhaps hanging myself would be the best thing to do. without even the most basic of

a mean ities there's no way that lena family can leave here however here is exactly where your thirties of told her that you should bring up children lena's case isn't unusual those who work with oftens in russia say that it's when they leave the care homes that they need the most help the problem is orphans are killed are of small or you know when they're little and everybody loves to help them with their small but presents that. whereas in actual fact they've got bigger in me but they get me there and that's really when we need to be standing beside them housing is one of those big needs for all things leaving care it's also in short supply which we made certain calculations for one region and found out that if a child is number ten thousand in the queue for housing it would take them some three and a half thousand years to actually get a flat how can they live like this they're not pharaohs you know. we can't bring

them back from the dead and give them an apartment currently only administrative penalties can be imposed on anyone standing in the way of those leaving can't getting housing alexander gives a lot as a campaigner for all things rights he wants to see the courts more involved he would like you know if we need to change the law in a way to make sure that someone can be held responsible in court in this case the orphanage this will make sure that there is no way a graduating orphan would have to go and live in a rundown home a change in the law might help people in the future but lina needs to find a solution right now. i'll ask them when all the mothers are given homes to raise their children why can't i have that isn't because i don't know the laws of because i'm not allowed to live because it's had been for me to have family some people are trying to help me but if all their efforts have been in vain. peter all of a. very cheap. news headlines coming your way.
