well the magna watching r t these are the top stories banks have failed stress test on whether they could cope with another credit crunch meanwhile italy's past massive cuts to deal with its burgeoning death while in the u.s. time's running out to increase the deficit ceiling. look regardless loses lieutenants on both sides of the atlantic screws tied nine media empire built on the peddling sleaze and targeting victims is long serving right hand man in america is resigning following friday's departure of the embattled back of groups at use of

force u.k. burdick's firm faces a probe for allegedly hacking the bones of nine eleven victims. and the bank balance of power shifts as the u.s. joins dozens of its allies in writing izing rebels who worry as the legitimate governing body it also gives them access to billions of dollars of khadafi assets frozen by american. while e.u. governments wind back spending to tackle a debt that refuses to budge europeans themselves are less convinced they should suffer as services wages and jobs or pay are bad r.t. here is from a union leader who says the public won't stand for bailing out others states. today i'm talking to mark so watch 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 the proposed reforms to the pension scheme mr walker thanks for talking to r.t. today now this is possible plan to cut public spending in this country just how drastic are these cuts going to be gives an impression of what they might mean for the cuts to the biggest that most people will have seen in their lifetime. 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 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 services everything that people have taken for granted over years is ultimately. 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 for example they didn't reform and soon it

looks like they might not be able to afford teachers or nurses the u.k. economy isn't 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 number it's our debt as a proportion of our g.d.p. was double what it is now then we go 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 my friends worse you've said that the government cuts are now just attack on working people. but how do you think the strikes you're proposing will affect the. ruling class is what having three quarters of a million people from four different unions on strike is something that happens hasn't happened in this country for decades it's the start finish to the government

is will 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. i'm 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 the 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 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 fifth 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 provision in the private sector becoming the model i'd like to see a raw using the pension provision and saying it's a priority for people to have a decent retirement and that could be done 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 topping the tax gap where the richest people in britain avoid paying over one hundred billion a year we actually mean these pensions look fairly cheap in comparison and you mentioned the private sector and a lot of private sector workers say that see the public sector has a very good deal when it comes to 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 it 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 problems my message to prime. sector workers is they've been exploited by their shareholders and by the company chiefs not by public sector workers pensions and we should have a count painted seeks to drive all pension levels up and not cut down to the worst

what's your pulse in line what would you expect 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 cost and last because that's not about pensions it's about raising taxes 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 pensions slashed so where we are in the talks at the moment and that's the government fundamentally except 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 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're having a chat with a few people in the room is one thing saying you won't negotiate when there could be millions of people taking strike action is entirely another and 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 prolifically very powerful already seen a great march of one hundred five hundred thousand people three months ago transformed the political mood in this country from march going to our political work which strikes actually to how exactly do you think that march changed political needs it's transformed it was on the front page of the newspapers it was on every t.v. station and it gave people a confidence that however small the community and i have a small they've 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 balancing members or members voting overwhelmingly for a strike so it's clearly transforming not. people's confidence that 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 in the main it was caused by

a reckless financial services sector do you think there is political will to create a more responsible banking community. or i would always question whether the exists ran the carbon twenty three multimillionaires in that when they have members themselves who have benefited in the past by playing fast and loose with paying their taxes although you go clearly not moral 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 cost that the banking sector should pay for the problems the banking sector cost and as we're doing this interview members on fifteen thousand pounds a year are struggling to make grounds me to join our holidays facing having their pensions slashed when they see bankers who are already million as trousering millions more in bonuses that's got to be fundamentally unfair since the crisis. has entered into a new war in a foreign country and recently the air force said that he needed more money to

sustain a campaign in libya and also enough got it started 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 enter into another war while i think there isn't any politico consistency quite clearly we've been told there were so strapped for cash everything that we hold dear has to be slashed and yet we can still talk about renewing trident i'm fighting wars overseas irrespective of the cost my own view is that the war in afghanistan and the current war in libya are wrong and misjudged what people claim they are about and we should actually find a way out of those pretty quickly and not make the situation in those countries worse as well as the same time to valuable resources. going to 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. are you prepared to join us if we want more and more people to be involved not because we want to be on

strike because we want the government to set up and take notice so i very much welcome the comments of their practice in unison and we want to work very closely with him on all the other trade unions in britain to ensure that when working people are making a protest a protest is this politicking as possible because it's designed to get the government to change their minds not so welcome thank you very much like you. know . this nature and discover its music. communicate with the want to. test yourself and become free to. see what nature can give you on on t.v.
