time it's a face the music out raged britain watches closely as the murdoch media maleki of being grilled by phone hacking i'm dr reclaims and these are live pictures that we're seeing from the hearings taking place and all of them and right now. israeli commandos to go carrying pro palestinian and goals of forcing another attempt to break the sea blockade of the region. and a meeting between the leaders of russia and germany how is the album made in the growing anga and it jihad is ready that's to deep instanced. says he's

cautiously optimistic about the future of the euro as he meets in germany. a very warm welcome to you this is our see live from moscow now today's also new television in britain is a must see for most of the country is rupert murdoch his son and busies former u.k. c.e.o. face angry will make his ally the trio's of parliament to question so old so roll the questions on the phone hacking and police bribery claims at the now axed news of the world walters or emmett's following the hearing for us in london i love life now i look for those huge interests in all this was rupert murdoch himself appearing in attendance what have we heard so far from that hearing. well there is

huge interest in it and we are seeing reports and jamison murdoch being interviewed by m.p.'s together we should remember that they were invited to appear at this hearing and they essentially said no thank you very much an initially and then in the end they had to be summoned to appear before the hearing and they are being asked some tricky questions by m.p.'s which is what the public wanted they didn't want them to get a grilling but they wanted them to be asked some tricky questions being asked what they knew about the phone hacking scandal at the news of the world at the time that it was taking place they're being asked what they knew about the alleged payments to police by journalists working for them jane specifically is being asked why he approved payouts in relation to phone hacking to celebrities to spain so it's been hacked when he by his own admission says that he didn't have a full picture of what was going on in those in that publication also being asked

to m.p.'s are trying to ascertain whether there was a cover up whether parliament and police were misled particularly at the time of the first police inquiry into phone hacking which took place in two thousand and nine james murdoch says that that's when the when the hacking investigation was closed the staff and he's an international relied heavily on the fact that the police at that there was nothing further to be investigated they also relied on a decision by the press complaints commission that said nothing further no nothing to see here and also an outside legal advice so they feel that they were within their rights to not look at phone hacking inside their organization anymore this is the first time that rupert murdoch has been he's in his more than thirty years more than forty years of being operational in the u.k. media sector and it has to be said that he doesn't seem to be taking it very well he's a he's a little bit it's a little bit on edge she's tone is a little bit sticky he was very very keen to point out that he has a very many excellent people working on his staff that need to. national news of

the world was just one percent of the interest that he holds another interesting development today is something that's happening on twitter actually uses of the social networking sites are drawing attention to the knowledge of resonance between the death of sean hoare which his body was found yesterday he was the first news of the world journalists to allege that his editor andy corson and later the director of communications for the government knew that phone hacking was taking place all along he was found dead yesterday the eighteenth of july two thousand two thousand and eleven on the eighteenth of july two thousand and three the very same date david kelly was found dead also presume to be suicide he was of course the u.n. weapons inspector who first cast doubt on the government's claim that iraq could deploy weapons of mass destruction within forty five minutes and moreover said that the government knew that iraq couldn't deploy those weapons of mass destruction to

people all over twitter during attention to the old resonance between those deaths the fact that their bodies were discovered in the very same dates and saying that the eighteenth of july looks like a bad day for whistleblowers lore this scandal is certainly a shake in the press politicians and the police in britain how they survive in the scrutiny. well the police know very well it has to be said also appearing before m.p.'s today where three top police officers two of whom have resigned this week commissioners of course stephenson his assistant commissioner mr yates has also appeared they face questioning over this this relationship between the press and police stevenson it was widely accepted for having stuck the knife into david cameron when he resigned he denied having done that today he also faced questions about his handling the police handling of this investigation in spain hacking in

two thousand and nine and he also admitted that no fewer than ten former news of the world journalists have worked with him at a press office now a lot of people are suggesting that the taking of bribes of the alleged taking of bribes by police officers from each other and this is a symptom of essentially endemic corruption in the metropolitan police and the police all over the country i went up to talk to some people about that and here's my report or you can. ian tomlinson died in london's g. twenty protest in two thousand and nine after being pushed to the ground by p.c. simon harwood how would said he'd been prevented from giving first aid by a being bottle throwing more he later admitted happened john schollers to minerva's short by police in a london underground station in two thousand and five officers allegedly leaked a report saying he'd fled from police c.c.t.v. images later showed this was true. less well known is michael daugherty

a man who went to the police for help only for it to turn into a kafkaesque where both allegedly false statements and mistreatment. are of which the house no protection from goodall in this country i think is completely outrageous christie told police he suspected his thirteen year old daughter was being groomed by a. he's a file concerned they referred it to his local station sex crime unit then nothing after two weeks talk as he phoned the unit secretary that's where the trouble started and just grease rastaman throughout my house all just the police came to talk to his house in order to arrest him for harassing the police secretary shortly after his arrest he learned the investigation into his daughter's grooming had been dropped by police records show they haven't looked at any of the evidence the police secretary has since admitted she has a hazy recollection of the telephone call she said upset her so much but only when

presented with tapes of the conversations dr z. had luckily recorded the officers involved in his arrest were found to be at fault and stepped on every training course but doctors he believes that's not enough i don't think anything different than. i think this is this is normal society if it's not something criminal they need to be held accountable in the same way that anybody else would do it in a court dockets he's a count of lies interest meant by the police is by no means unique but the phone hacking scandal has brought stories like his into the public eye revealing bribery and corruption at the heart of the police force it's amazing focus has tended to be on the journalists themselves and not on the allegedly corrupt police officers who have been receiving money to provide protected information but it does show that this is an indemnity corruption and a failure because. two of the country's most senior police officers have

resigned this week and two more are under investigation after relations between news corp and the police were revealed to have been far too cozy senior police officers were wining and dining with members of the murdoch empire they were making room for drinks cry really want even acquired them a thousand pounds a day to work for him so you know what does this tell us of. the relation between the police and the news corp employees well it's very very serious and if this can happen at the top of the police look at the example that gives the officers ground down the lines the home secretary has announced a review into the workings of the police to rebuild public trust that's a little comfort to michael daugherty who says he's traumatized by his experience at the hands of the people he turned to for help the phone hacking scandal has many reaching implications from the potential breakup of the media empire to a loss of faith in the british press but it's also pushed into the spotlight once

again a police corps that appears only to tell the truth when its course out in a long many are now asking how justice can prevail your and it's r t plugged. into the middle east now an israeli commandos have boarded the gun laws of our aid ship on the approach to the blockaded territory reporting and no resistance from out of us on board the french vessel is the last from a ten strong humanitarian patellar that was prevented from leaving agreed paul three weeks ago are quite honestly is across the governments in israel. just before noon local time today tuesday the friendship which is known as the detail was surrounded by at least three israeli naval ships as it made its way to gaza this is off to the ship anchored overnight in international waters now we understand that the israeli navy contacted the captain of the ship want him that if you went any further they would act immediately breaking israel's blockade on gaza and according

to the israeli army they made it quite clear to the ship's captain and the ship's passengers that there were other legal options available to them they're all sixteen people on board the ship ten of them are passengers three of them are crew three of them are journalists this is the furthest any ship so far in this series of freedom flotilla two has been able to go in terms of being able to reach gaza now the israelis are at pains not to see a repeat of what happened last year when you had their feet in particular one that incident in which turkish citizens were killed when israeli commandos loaded the because they have a mob in modern life and they simply do not want to see that happen again so the average paying to try and see this with peacefully and without any kind of loss of life israeli soldiers naval soldiers boarded the ship when it was some seventy kilometers away from gaza and there's no question that the ship was still in international waters it did go off without incident and right now that ship is being towed to be israeli port city of ashdod according to the israeli army

spokesperson and they have a passengers on board will be dealt with by the israeli immigration police but the question of just how do you build these really actions are still remains a very important question there has been at least four separate investigative committees that will sit up the last two to look at how the israeli soldiers in that first solo incident and how they dealt with that and all the new information once councils found them to quote them that the israeli actions have not really and later this month we do expect the findings of a second in a condition that has a we. dictated to them i find the israeli blockade on gaza not illegal the israeli soldiers did last year at harshly when you look at the comments from international legal experts they say that when ships are in the high seas there is something such as the freedom of navigation and asked such the israeli soldiers boarding the ship is in fact illegal. trade and energy have fuel pools between the leaders of russia

and germany and an over the demands of europe's biggest economy are growing and not capable of locking down. bushels been following behind level meeting. germany's decision to shut its nuclear stations has opened opportunities for the likes of russia's gazprom because john is hoping to tie up some deals here in hanover which he really sees the german market as a stepping stone to the rest of the european union germany in turn seize opportunities in russia in particular the balls as they should program of russia's infrastructure knelt by president michel medvedev and given the problems in the rest of the eurozone in places like portugal greece ireland also potentially spreading through perhaps its early and spain there are concerns that the european market may not be providing germany with the same opportunities as before nevertheless president medvedev says he's cautiously optimistic about the future of the eurozone he would like to see more currencies come to the fore

a subject he's raised in the pause there is a particular friendship between angela merkel i mean from a vet or perhaps two of the closest partners on the wall stage and that was very much present here in the talks today now we've heard that president medvedev has been quiz several times about his election opportunities and today he said that he would be making you know it's a very shortly about whether he would stand for president of russia again. it would have said they shared common views on the whole middle east situation of course both countries abstained russia and germany abstained on the u.n. vote authorizing action for military intervention in libya and the escalation of violence is something of concern to both sides so much of it is a little saying you shouldn't even know what the risk aleutian should not be playing i mean both resolution nineteen seventy three and resolution nineteen seventy they're ok we supported the frustration we abstained on the second one but

we thought that the resolution will be implemented to what it says a no fly zone that's not mean of war but actually instead of a no fly zone what we see is an air. to face civil war and some forces are actually supporting one of the parties to the conflict and that's not good in fact for leaving some very bad so i think we should continue looking for opportunity to find a peaceful solution to this situation we should use all sorts of mediators and all sorts of opportunities because the libyan problem does not have a military solution a reference there to nato as admission by civil nato states that they are arming libya's rebels and potentially escalating the violence. and then going to merkel say they are against the military resolution of the syrian conflict where violence between government troops and the opposition is growing key themes of a conference was that the troubles across the middle east which they noted were

taking place between government forces and civil forces as well should not be fueled by outside forces that was something that both sides both russia and germany stressed today. fortune's clocking. a dream. familiar with that in greece the reverse trend is down as the financial meltdown triggers a third in unemployment and cuts begin to find many people are now leaving the country but he knows a lot of them have fun driving farmers and the debts in country. the birthplace of civilization greece is famous for its ancient ruins among other things those very ruins and the tourists they attract are today almost the only profitable thing in greece as the country charters on the brink of financial ruin. people here are losing all hope of making it through even the ones living in the capital athens.

for many the solution is simple leave city life behind. greece's reverting to an agricultural economy farming is not the few remaining profitable industries with apple great all of it and cherry orchard everywhere their rule life is bountiful as a city girl i could never imagine leaving behind that urban lifestyle of moving to a remote village but after seeing and tasting what the great countryside has to offer it becomes pretty clear that for the desperate people of athens this is a land of opportunities right for the picking. ever has known this for decades she picks her own fruit and uses them for her jelly business her workshop is practically a big kitchen and the work is like cooking for a big family something she does anyway at their house right above the shop she can never be late for work and wouldn't change this for anything

a city could offer. and many people tired of bottling up their frustrations in the city are making the same choice. since i was living. everybody wants to do the same but. since we have a crisis there's a many people that leave and they go back to their houses. and. to sign. because legible is a marmalades have given after a chance to raise her kids and live her life the way she wants but most critics are simply energy and never a very large percentage so for. people who have lost their jobs especially young people who are almost desperate i mean i teach young to become architects and

i'm afraid but i cannot. tell them what the truth will be that they will not find a job almost the first sentence or two ninety something percent statistics show that nearly one million people have lost their jobs and the figures are only expected to rise with over forty percent of people under the age of twenty four out of work any job is in demand and quite villages like area are rapidly becoming the proverbial silver lining of the dark gap going out to lose. casuarinas r r t greece. for all the latest news in comments on the greek financial crisis is one of the troubles in the wider. family and here's what else or find right now ask dot com charges against the parents of an eleven year old russian boy who confessed to attacking a passenger plane with a laser pen find out what you're doing to clamp down on

gear the existing ships can be used for another fifty years. old as it says these ships have passed the latest technical inspections but so did the bulgaria and that ships out to create an emergency alarm or spotty blame for the high death toll. some are calling for stricter regulations including bearing the subletting of all ships the small operators what use could make up on a large respectable company sees that a ship is getting too expensive to repair instead of writing it off a part of them to a smaller operators and the smaller outfits are often unscrupulous about how they approach maintenance and have no money for it anyway. not everyone agrees. if we simply start banning ships we will lose river transport altogether any such measures must go hand in hand with redeveloping the river shipping industry. the millennium chain of is one of the new entrepreneurs is hoping to do just that yet

he admits that all those new vessels have declined dramatically following the economic difficulties of the last few years. this industry is not going to pull itself out of the current crisis for that to happen the government must take the first step. along with even if this does happen it will take years for the new ships to come on stream in the meantime specimens on an old ship have begun to stop using it because of safety concerns. well he can be scared of everything so i will carry on going on these rabbit i have a happens. yes. ok a quick check now of some of the news making headlines around the globe this hour and japan has banned all shipments from the bush era growing concerns over radiation infected beef around six hundred fifty miles which of these in contaminated hay
