nations for doing the same. it is a.t.m. in the russian capital you're watching our joshua welcome to the program drastic spending cuts are on the way in italy as parliament desperately tries to fend off a spiraling debt crisis it all bodes badly for the euro italy's finance minister even compare the currency troubles to the titanic as are two sarah first reports there's only so much that can be done before the people take power into their own hands. there will be one significant difference between the people who take to the streets between greece and italy and that is that greece at least thank goodness the taxi drivers don't go on strike where is italy i expect almost everybody is going to end up on strike and it's going to be absolutely chaotic the only way they

can slip this through is perhaps because we do have this long lead in time until the cuts really start to make an impact in two thousand and thirteen but i think the problem is in the meantime a large amount of the sort of the leftist opposition in italy for see the fact that silvio berlusconi to many of the reasons most of which are outside of the direct school reason are well i mean he's a wounded animal is a point in time and in some ways i think that he's going to be very difficult to hold his government together there are big problems in western europe they haven to be and are definitely to the east everyone fortunately expect further to the crisis because the epidemic of contagion seems to be spreading and we have new political leadership seeming to do with that. dress expanding cards are under way in italy as parliament desperately tries to fan art is spiraling down crisis and all bodes badly for the euro italy's finance minister even compare the currency struggles to

the titanic let's now take a look at sara for us report. as the clouds gather. in the greek bailout battle continue dark times now lay ahead. what everybody. is afraid for the future if you think countries like italy looking on increasingly unstable grounds can a year or a right out this way natural still this is really something quite frightening if indeed it. goes into big trouble on the financial markets this is certainly a totally new phase of this euro crisis. the mention here a fairy tale. it was all too appealing countries trip save themselves for a bite of the g.c. apple and now many are left requesting taking the bait with that. not bad i mean.

that's more than a decade of great business is like that has been hit hard both. st and athens is still bustling the problems with a quantum in mean that many businesses here in greece has simply gone and joining the year in many european prices and for many of the members we could colonies it didn't mean european wages if one botched bailout after another year skeptics who wanted danger from the start they have become the unlikely heroes in this tale just who the hell do you think you people are you are very very dangerous people indeed your obsession with creating this euro state means that you're happy to destroy democracy you appear to be happy for millions and millions of people to be unemployed and to be poor i'm told millions must suffer so that your euro dream could continue if you rob people of their identity you hope of their democracy but

all that which is nationalism and by those countries are now waking up to the reality of the nightmare that says the euro is a political prison for poor countries such as greece and spain and they need to be liberated from their prison recreate their own currencies have devaluation make their exports cheaper make it easier for tourists to visit their countries and they'll get back and on their feet greece ireland portugal italy spain dominates continue to topple the euro it seems there will be no happily ever after . i see happens. and in today's crossed off peter will be on his desk discuss why the easier ship is so adamant about saving the euro at any cost here's some what's coming up at seven thirty g.m.t. . let greece go break up it would be good for greece it would be good for europe

and be good for the world if greece went bankrupt and rose to the highest pay their bills or stop the lie then you would have everybody would know it's a strong sound currency based on a strong sound economy while while i'm out and go bankrupt listen in i you're in america we've had stays here and cities go bankrupt you could count is no where you grew up it didn't in the united states and it didn't in the u.s.s.r. tell you why because of the four hundred billion dollars of debt that greece has fifty percent is held by german and french banks and those countries don't want to take a second in the financial markets it's that simple. if you. keep . the sunken volga river cruise ship is due to be refloated within the next few days with a special equipment already at the scene of last weekend's accidents in tatarstan the operation is due to begin later on friday severely overloaded vessel went down

sunday killing at least one hundred thirteen people including twenty seven children well over a dozen remain missing meanwhile two people linked to the disaster now been arrested have a firm which rented the vessels and the registrar who certified the ship are both suspected of violating safety regulations resulting in deaths are spoke to the captain of the vessel and say that about seventy six passengers and crew from the sunken cruiser. as we were near him to say we began to figure out how many people there were in the water although it was hard to do because there was a lot of rubble floating around as well it was very hard to pick out individual people from them on the floor and debris some people were in dreadful condition mainly were injured all over their skin because when the ship sank the fuel oil came up to the surface and spread everywhere and covered the people that made the rescue even harder because the oil made the victims krishi and hard to get

a hole to pull them on board cim children and that condition that was particularly heartbreaking. the full interview with captain manny in the country are considering a hero is online right now at r.t. dot com. robert martin's disgraced media empire is now under f.b.i. investigation over whether the voice mails of nine eleven victims were intercepted and news corp's group in britain is slipping fast abandoning a major t.v. takeover closing it leading closing its rather leading newspaper and was murdered summoned before parliament while he fights to save his media titan vultures are circling over and it has been finding out. i put every media outlet in town he revealed even the scariest part imitates life a long running simpsons takes a shot at its owner rupert murdoch aka montgomery burns in an episode broadcast apparently coincidentally this week. but it's

not the only piece of timing in the extraordinary phone hacking case that seems to get more scandalous every day the list of something like four thousand names which the police have had since about two thousand and forty thousand and five and yet they promise facie evidence of criminal activity by these individuals and boy. and yet they have not acted on it so why now just as the murdoch deal to take control of satellite t.v. giant b. sky b. sure to go ahead his arch rival the guardian newspaper releases catastrophic allegations of a moral journalists and their shady practices that when the deal collapses the times for example which currently loses money you could have transferred some of the profits from. the times and if you are for example the.

guardian or the daily telegraph you would welcome that it's not just rival newspapers who stand to gain from murdoch's empire crumbling the b.b.c. could retake t.v. territory lost to b. sky b. and the labor party which was wounded by years of relentless attacks by murdoch papers can finally take revenge but where will all this lead. now. in use. you know. that would suit the government just fine the british press is famous for its sharp teeth and no holds barred doggedness particularly where its own

government is concerned prime minister david cameron has shut down the press complaints commission and already talks of statutory controls to go up and print journalists back in springfield mr burns this case has the townspeople put up their own newspaper and he's almost right. it is possible to control the media because of rupert murdoch he is one. murdoch found out sticks mr burns that you just can't buy all the newspapers those outside his control have been gunning for him think it is and this time they may have succeeded it's just a scene it sets a consolidate control over a lot section of the case media markets the drugs being pulled out for months ahead and it's all over the hidden scandal now revealed that the police have known about it for you is your average hot seat. and he has been hearing how the culture of

control by the nordic media got out of hand brian dr who runs a t.v. network for social activists says there are parallels with some nation's wider imperial ambitions. you can make an analogy. international. between what happens in take over the united states and britain took over iraq and who do they bring to our. employees oh it was loads and i think that since it has happened you know where we have a ranch. where. they hire. they are not training every journalist. but certainly if you look at whether it's on television or you paid rable what sasha should write the reilly and in the united states i don't know about britain but it's a whole culture of our own control and instruction for an agenda and that

gender i think it was the gender of. both britain and the united states. with more immediate reaction and analysis on the missouri dot com here's what else would line up for you today. the name supported by the interviewer to discover why the russian and p.m.'s been given the bon treatment on billboards in moscow also online. the creatures in crisis is a ferret a parrot and a monkey scape from a siberian circus seemingly because the bad summer weather is getting them down war on the third friends cluster.

the u.s. has long been a one of the loudest creatures of human rights around the globe but at home with faces growing accusations of hypocrisy on its own soil thousands of professional torturers have reportedly been trained over the past sixty years was the partner of the fans approval by scaling for found out the pentagon claims the didn't know how the training was being put into practice. think it's been thirty years since colombian soldiers kidnapped be starved and electroshock heck there are east peace about all for having a quote subversive book. but it's a memory he relives every day people have survived for trial in cologne this time very lucky to be able to tell the story most people get tortured for ten days of the stand there and then they get shot and kill many have been disappear after said the colombian soldiers who tortured him and later killed his brother. were trained right here on american soil at the school of the america and for benning georgia

army major jurists of player was an instructor there i was very much in favor of the school of the americas the in the cold war era but major blair says he was horrified with what his former students did with their anti-communist training in their own country a classified. that the army school in america uses the words terror again takes the word assassin they. commonly. call them weights for. graduates from the school of the americas have been implicated in massacres and torture throughout the hemisphere have been more than sixty thousand soldiers and police have graduated ten thousand of them have been colombia has been the largest user of the school of the americas and i don't think it's an accident that colombia is the abuser of human rights and they were sometimes for the eighth amendment to the us constitution forbids torture and other

forms of cruel and unusual punishment as has the geneva convention but they did happen there's no question that in our country. and torture it's of. others how to do it we also. sent people to prisons in other countries where they were in fact torture there although congress demanded more oversight of military training programs and inter. investigation by the government accountability office so that school of the americas manuals advocated using quote torture truth serum blackmail and execution the pentagon said it didn't know what the manuals contained because it staff advisors assigned to review them didn't speak spanish united nations special repertoire for torture one mendez himself a survivor of torture says a lack of transparency in the u.s. led to further abuse in the eighty's unfortunately. the military aid and police aid was restored and after that it's been difficult to document to what extent that he includes teaching. techniques that are prohibited by law international law

it's a legacy that sharply contrast with the us rhetoric about respect for human rights abroad the fact that there is an engagement with the police bodies for example that do it themselves extensively practice torture is an embarrassment and perhaps more than about a summit to the united states treasury survivors and religious leaders in washington d.c. have come together to demand a full commission of inquiry into what they describe as torture practiced or enabled by the united states including in its own prisons like one time obey and by the cia when president bush says that he waterboarding and he would do it again. and said damn right that he had ordered it. so you know it's a very serious problem for the spirit soul of our country i think it's of how many prisoners were tortured by the united states are hard to find but survivors like hector's say the numbers don't tell a full story when someone gets torture you know only the person who's for store for

us to deal with a big wouldn't because of those on the third it's also someone who has to be humanized themselves in order through the human eyes of the human being but a society that's forced or truth is going to pay a price a very big price as well killing ford artsy washington. as the u.s. intensifies its anti-terrorist focus in somalia there have been reports of secret prisons in mogadishu besides officially belong to the local security forces by iran and paid for by the cia girl as jeremy says he's visited the prisons adding that america's mainstream media makes it hard to report on what's really going they're going on there. inside this dungeon prison there are no windows there's no sunlight there's a bed bug infestation according to prisoners who've been there mosquitoes all over the place the air is thick and disgusting some prisoners are said to be losing

their minds there are also reports from prisoners that there were very young boys inside of the prison some people have been held for eighteen months without charge without access to lawyers without access to the red cross in fact the red cross told me that they were not aware of the prison and that they have never been given access to it i know for a fact that journalists from several major american news outlets were aware of these facilities in mogadishu and it's for those networks to answer why they've never reported on it both c.n.n. and a.b.c. have allowed their facilities their media outlets to be used as conveyer belts for the spin of the cia and that's the job of the cia and they do it well but the job of major media outlets should not be to be a conveyor belt for the propaganda of u.s. intelligence agencies so i would leave those those questions for other media outlets as to why they're not reporting on this very serious life and death issue that has to do very much with the rule of law in this country and whether or not there's been any change when it comes to respect of international human rights laws

and standards. and ask our hearing r.t. watch our special report on those who crusade against the global threat of atomic weapons the air regular citizens but they hope their passion for peace can bring a break a call for countries that refuse to relinquish their nuclear arsenals. with the end of the boer war and the going away of the soviet union many people thought that nuclear weapons disappeared from the risk is not zero that something might be going off by mistake special of nuclear weapons on hair trigger alert. but because of the use it as a threat all as an actor. you know if you keep spending a trillion dollars a year on weapons of eventually you're going to blow everybody up you you know people are dying from these weapons but until we actually see it people don't wake up to nuclear weapons or a bill. that represents all of the firepower of the second world war

this second sound is the equivalent firepower of the world's nuclear arsenal today. although back to watching aren't leading credit rating agencies are threatening to downgrade america's triple a credit score for the first time in over ten years they say there's a risk the u.s. could fail to resolve the deadlock and its budget negotiations investment analyst maps will believe america's debt addiction means there won't be a quick cure. america's been running on debt for years this is a disaster in the making and i would liken the situation here to a cancerous tumor inside a body there's no better time to cut the cancerous tumor out quickly as you

possibly can that said the u.s. government has been running on debt for many many years and we've been raising the budget the total debt ceiling for many many years as a budget issue and we've successfully had deals struck it has become the political norm in the united states that whatever party is in the white house has passed to raise the debt ceiling it's always been raised in the past the party that's not in the white house that's out of power screams and yells for three or four days at most usually about how the government spending too much and should live within its means the debt ceiling deadline gets raised and it's business as usual that's been the case for thirty years so we have one side in the congress right now that's decided no increase in revenue is acceptable other side has decided that not raising revenue is unacceptable and so we've reached an embarrassing impasse that has dragged on for weeks longer than it should and is the reason that we're going to see the growing chorus of foreign and domestic voices urging congress and the white house to stop riling already strange global markets with

a political impasse. let's now take a look at some other stories from around the world and pentagon has admitted suffering one of its largest ever hacker attacks and thousands of sensitive to fans' files stillman deputy defense secretary william lynn says all the data was taken in a single intrusion in march officials blame an unspecified foreign government comes after revealing a new internet strategy which treats cyberspace operational terrain like land air and sea. thousands of pro-government libyans have rallied in a town west of tripoli expressed support for the embattled colonel gadhafi and to manage it neil stops its military campaign else words leave your content group of nato nations arab countries and other states is meeting in turkey to find a political solution to a five month long conflict. mexico's biggest ever marijuana plantation has been discovered by authorities two hundred fifty kilometers south of

the u.s. border it covers one hundred twenty have there is and as water by an advanced irrigation system last year investigators found a tunnel running from mexico to the u.s. that was fitted out with lighting and salacious and a whale way to transport drugs he also uncovered forty tons of marijuana. well that brings us up to date here in our teeth let's see what's happening in business with. morning and welcome to the business program on r.t. russia is finalizing the agreement to acquire the eastern european unit of austria gives a national deal to be the biggest acquisition by the russian side the former soviet union dues expected to be closed by the end of the year sources close. to one billion dollars for the us. gold prices hits a record high on first coming down slightly this investors look for

a safe haven from the storm brewing in the world's biggest economies seen as a traditional store values being driven by concerns over the u.s. debt situation and the prospect the federal reserve will print more money. egypt's capital believes there's no limit to the paragraph. it did look like a few weeks ago that the price of gold was going to come in lower but in your view you're starting to see increased eurozone concerns increased inflationary concerns the prospect of more easy more stimulus spending from the from the federal reserve we thought that that finished at the end of june and now in the last couple of days or so there's an increased likelihood that the federal reserve could start to print more money and that is going to go to where is this going to go to gold and into equities are most likely gold at the moment so obviously sixteen hundred dollars would be an obvious level for gold to hit and then you start to see some profit been taken off the table but then you could push through that and be as there is no

ceiling you could carry on going to seven hundred eighteen hundred dollars. so the group the markets now in the world is rising in the electronic trading investors but u.s. fuel consumption may climb out of reports that may show industrial production increased in june and consumer prices consumer confidence rather improved prices also again a speculation of the u.s. credit rating maybe we can the dollar but brant is slightly correcting it's down ten cents this hour. across asian markets are mixed in tokyo take stocks on exporters among the leading advances casio's sony are adding around the said yahoo japan gave an around two and a half percent the i'm saying however is trading just a notch in negative territory. well two hours have the opening bell in a moscow is take a look at the closing picture for first day of the r.t.s. of nice six managed to gain slightly at the closing bell despite concerns over in

europe that the u.s. . actually interesting call from world capital expects the markets and russia to end the week as they began characterized by low volumes and high volatility. believe that on friday nothing would change except the fact that it's friday people are generally more cautious on friday to take one position comes first probably the markets will be on for us on the pressure but again we think overall over the next few weeks will stay in britain there are a trading range for the most important stuff or it will be perhaps witching the statements of the u.s. . political and economic establishment regarding a the possibility of a quantity freezing and b. regarding the station with the years that earlier today we will be back in fifteen minutes with more marinas next my headlights.
