this is actually going to live from moscow look at the top stories eight european banks have failed stress test on whether they could cope with another financial crisis meanwhile italy's has massive cuts to deal with its burgeoning debt while in the u.s. time's running out to increase the deficit ceiling. or murdered losers lieutenants on both sides of the atlantic as the screws tied nine media empire built on peddling sleaze and targeting victims news corp is under investigation for

allegedly hacking the phones of nine eleven victims. and levy has banned balance of power shifts as the u.s. joins dozens of its allies and recognizing rebels already has a legitimate governing body it also gives them access to billions of dollars of assets frozen by america. while eighty you governments back spending to tackle a dad that refuses to budge europeans themselves are less convinced they should suffer as services wages and jobs are pared back our t. here is from a union leader who says the public won't stand for bailing out others mistakes. today i'm talking to mark swartz because he's one of the brains behind the thirtieth of june nationwide strikes in the u.k. he's head of the public and commercial services union he's three hundred thousand

members are walking out of the proposed reforms to the pension scheme which is to look at thanks for talking to r.t. today now this is part of a wider plan to cut public spending in this country just how drastic are these cuts going to be give us an impression of what they might mean for the cuts to the biggest that most people will have seen in their lifetime projected to mean half a million jobs lost in the public sector six hundred thousand jobs in the private sector as a direct result we're seeing changes in the delivery of welfare cuts in funding of education for young people and also a tax on people's pensions in addition to that in many of the communities up and down the country will see libraries close cuts in social care services everything that people have taken for granted over years is ultimately addressed you seem to see these cuts in terms of right and wrong almost a moral position but isn't there a bottom line that has to be respected example they didn't reform and soon it looks

like they might not be able to afford teachers or nurses. in greece this is the fifth largest economy in the world and if you look at historically the british economy for fifty consecutive years from one thousand nine hundred on words our debt as a proportion of our g.d.p. was double what it is now then we kill millions of houses schools hospitals well first recognizing actually economically these cuts will make it worse far better to cut the deficit by employing people who don't pay tax and insurance rather than throw them onto welfare where actually they depress the economy and we think things worse you've said that the government cuts are now just attack on working people. but how do you think this strikes your pacing will affect. the ruling class is what having three quarters of a million people from four different unions on strike is something that's hasn't happened in this country for decades it's the start not the finish our message to the government is if they try to ignore next week we'll come back in the autumn and

we may well see millions of people on strike so the idea is to build pressure so the government realise that working people the length and breadth of the u.k. are not just going to let them get away with what they're doing and we believe that pressure ultimately can force them to change direction the government's bill for pensions at a moment is around thirty billion pounds which does seem excessive a lot of money how do you suggest that they would use it i don't think they should reduce it i'm quite clear that the retirement of dignity and old age where you don't have to struggle to make ends meet should be what we aspire for in the first richest country in the world and so my view is public sector pensions and all pension provision is important and instead of a risk to the bottom where we see the worst pension provision in the private sector becoming the model i'd like to see a rising pension provision and saying it's a priority for people to have a decent retirement and in many ways cutting the renewal of trident for example

would save us enough money to pay for those pensions for three or four years tucker in the tax gap where the richest people in britain avoid paying over one hundred billion a year would actually mean these pensions look fairly cheap in comparison and you mentioned the private sector and a lot of private sector workers say that the public sector has a very good deal when it comes to pensions a lot better than a lot of private sector provision do you think there's really public support for what you're doing poorly opinion polls seem to tell us already a majority of people actually believe the public sector pensions are important to arrive at the right level or should even be higher that's incredible when you think of the propaganda we've had over the last two years from politicians in the media telling everybody the public sector pensions are. the cause of people's problem my masters to private sector workers is they're being exploited by their shareholders and by their company chiefs and not by public sector workers pensions and we should have a campaign that seeks to drive all pension levels up and not cut down to the worst what's your purpose in life what would you accept in terms of pension reform what i

personally believe that it is not acceptable to make anyone to pay a penny more for their pension when the valuation of public sector pension schemes say they're costing less because that's not about pensions it's about raising tax to solve the deficit i don't believe people should be forced to work longer i don't believe people should have the levers of their conscience slashed so where we are in the talks at the moment unless the government fundamentally accepts they have to talk about those things and i believe the industrial action is going to take place you have said in fact that the government doesn't look like it's prepared to negotiate so what's the point of striking. when the point is to change your mind and saying you won't negotiate just when they are going to chat with a few people in a room is one thing saying you won't negotiate when they could be millions of people taking strike action is entirely another we actually believe that the six million trade unionists plus the thousands and thousands or hundreds of thousands of pensioners and students all becoming a joint campaign is going to be poetically very powerful we've already seen in

britain a march of one hundred five hundred thousand people three months ago transform the political mood in this country from march can do that our view is well what could strikes actually how exactly do you think that march changed the political means is transformed in that it was on the front page of the newspapers it was on every t.v. station it gave people a confidence that however small the community and i have are small they have seen for example keeping alive they understood they were part of a much much wider problem and i think that's given us confidence to move from a march to now for unions balloting members and members voting overwhelmingly for us. so it's clearly transforming people's confidence but the opinion polls clearly are shifting whereas a majority before said they oppose strikes now in the most recent polls a majority says they are sympathetic to the crisis that we're seeing it was called certainly in part by a reckless financial services sector do you think there is political will now to

create a more responsible banking community. where i would always question whether the exists when the carbon has twenty three multi-millionaires and when they have cabinet members themselves who have benefited in the past by playing fast and loose with taxes although you go clearly not morrow therefore i don't actually believe there is a political will of this government to actually ensure that the rich should pay for the problems that the rich caused at the banking sector should pay for the problems the banking sector caused and as we're doing this interview members on fifteen thousand pounds a year struggling to make ends meet they don't have holidays facing having their pensions slashed when they see bankers who are already millionaires trousering millions more and on a says that's got to be fundamentally unfair since the crisis began britain has entered into a new war in a foreign country and recently the air force come out and just said that he needed more money to sustain

a campaign in libya and also in afghanistan do you think there is a moral vacuum in westminster that causes these kinds of things to happen that the government would cut spending and to ensure another war abroad which is what i think there isn't any politico consistency quite clearly we have been told there were strapped for cash everything that we hold dear has to be slashed and yet we can still talk about renewing try and fighting wars overseas irrespective of the cost my own view is that the war in afghanistan and the current war in libya are wrong misjudged what people claim are about and we should actually find a way out of those pretty quickly not make the situation in those countries worse as well. as of the same time take father to resources we could go into schools and hospitals and finally you opposite number at unison the country's biggest union is stressing this wave of industrial action that carries on surveillance the old seven are you prepared to join us we want more and more people to be involved not because we want to be on strike or because we want the government to set up and take notice

so i very much welcome the comments of the apprentice in unison and we want to work very closely with him and all the other trade unions in britain to ensure that when working people are making a protest approach this is politics it is possible because it's designed to get the government to change their minds not so welcome thank you very much for. the easy of nature and discover its beauty. communicate with the want to. test yourself and become free. and see what nature can give you.
