if you just joined us for a warm welcome this is all t. live here in moscow with you twenty four hours a day top stories now eight out of nineteen european banks have failed stress tests based on a worst case economic scenario a majority of them are in spain meanwhile it's in is approved a tougher start a budget aimed at averting a full scale financial crisis. group of murdoch has made a public apology for phone hacking by the news of the world he's rapidly losing our allies on both sides of the atlantic with his media empire trying to stop itself

from self destructing the on grip his newspapers once held on british politicians has crumbled as they turned on him seeking new press regulation with public outrage melt the most powerful weapon in taming the tabloids. preparation work is underway to lift a russian cruiser from the court some of the volga river operation is aimed at shedding more light on why the vessel sank with the loss of around one hundred thirty lives. i'll be back with more news for you and less than half an hour from now on meantime what governments cut back spending to tackle debts that refused to budge europeans themselves are less convinced that they should pay for the mistakes of banks and politicians next we'll be hearing from a u.k. trade union leader who says the public won't take this without a fight that's a special interview next.

today i'm talking to mark 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 thanks for talking to r.t. today know this is possible to 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 for the most people will have seen in their lifetime opera ject it 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 care services everything that people have taken for granted over years is ultimately at risk 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 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 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 recognise and 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 we're actually very depressed economy and we think the things worse you've said that the government cuts are now just attack working people but how do you think the strikes you're proposing will affect the health of the ruling classes. 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 finish to the government is

will come back in the autumn when we may well see millions of people on strike so the idea is to build pressure so the government realize 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 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 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 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 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 private sector workers say that actually the public sector has a very good deal when it comes pensions a lot better than a lot of private sector provision i do you think there's really public support for what you're doing ali opinion polls seem to tell us already a majority of people actually believe the public sector pensions are important and 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 problem my master's to private sector workers because they're being exploited by their shareholders and by the company chiefs not by public sector. because pensions and we should have a campaign that seeks to drive all levels up not cut down to the worst similarly

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 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 pension slashed so where we are in the talks at the moment unless the government fundamentally except they have to talk about those things then 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 their mind and saying you won't negotiate just when they're having a chat with a few people in a room is one thing saying you want to go see it 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 poetically very powerful we've already seen in britain a march of one hundred or five hundred thousand people transform the political mood in this country from march going to our viewers where well could strikes actually do it how exactly do you think that march changed the political needs 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 however small they seem 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 a strike so it's clearly transforming not just 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 idea. crisis that we're seeing it was caused by a reckless financial services sector do you think there's political will to create

a more responsible banking community. where i would always question whether the. twenty three multi-millionaires and when they have members themselves who have benefited in the past by playing fast and loose with taxes all the 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 but the banking sector should pay for the problems the banking sector caused and as we're doing this interview i have 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 in bonuses that's going to be fundamentally unfair since the crisis person has entered into a new war in a foreign country and recently the air force commander said he needed more money to sustain a campaign in libya and also in afghanistan do you think there's

a moral vacuum in westminster that causes these kinds of things to happen that the government would cut spending and enter into another war. well i think there isn't any politico consistency quite clearly we have been told there were. 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 of my own view is that the war in afghanistan and the current war in libya are wrong. or about we should actually find a way out of those pretty quickly not make the situation in those countries worse as well as at the same time to valuable resources that 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. you've had to join. we want more and more people to be involved not because we want to be on strike but because we want a government to step up and take notice so i very much welcome the comments of

practice 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 the protest is a politician as possible because it's designed to get the government to change their minds most welcome thank you very much like it. was. just.
