this is r.t. tonight struggling to save the euro e.u. leaders in brussels trying to hammer out measures to tackle the greek crisis while many say with a debt epidemic spreading into the future of the single currency that's at stake. meantime the eve trouble don't have terror sparring states for wanting to join the said the proposed rate for the war crime fugitive outage to the hague and its latest attempt to become a member of the plot. and investigations into the u.k. phone hacking scandal intensified but even more political figures coming under scrutiny and public betting on who the case might bring down next.

hello it's eleven pm here in moscow i'm kevin owen in first to you leaders have gathered in brussels for the emergency summit on how to come up with the promised cash for a second greek bailout but the epidemic is spreading with italy and spain now showing the first symptoms of serious debt a sense of impending doom fills the arizona says daniel bushell reports. the single currency will be bid within two years warner lists wouldn't be european. and there's a really very serious threat in. europe might disintegrate politicians the richest states have been able to refuse to foot the bill but i don't think i've ever met any body in the united kingdom in london my constituency that actually wants to contribute to the continued existence of the hero because i think it's

a stupid idea to start with and it's just money down the drain you're pulling the plug on those states could trigger a chain reaction. greece believe investors can no longer to avoid quitting the euro. that in turn will spoil the exits of portugal even italy and spain. they say ireland the board everybody said the bug is going to stop there over the last couple of weeks we saw that also. spain over germany italy with germany started to go europe's top banks hold billions of euro greek and portuguese debts if those countries go bust they could lose that money. we might see scenarios like a bank run that means that people will run to the bank in order to withdraw their

deposits because they believe that the bank might not be able to pay them the euro's facing an existential crisis admits german chancellor angela merkel that's raising tensions across the globe. at the moment the most visible most obvious is clearly the eurozone problems but on the other side of the atlantic you have the u.s. economy recession but showing some very weak economic figures are suffering as well . and you leaders could find the best warrant for the single currency here at the summit if they fail to do a deal and halt the spreading your. experts fear public panic will take over control. see brussels paul knuckles member of the european parliament for u.k. independence party told me bailouts could last for ages now for no exit out of the debt trap. we can continue propping up the euro and we can continue pouring money

into this and the idea that britain my all country isn't putting any money in it's complete nonsense because we are all ready to build our contribution to the i.m.f. it's now over twenty billion so we're contributing to this we don't want to bail out these basket case economies anymore and as i say the only way greece will be able to get its economy kickstarted is by breaking out of the prison of the euro and i can see you as benjamin franklin once says there are only two certainties in life but stephan taxes if greece remains in the auto i can see you the smaller the thing i will be back here in six months have this exact same conversation time will tell all the critics don't frighten those keen to join you as we report later this hour. with the struggling to keep it head above water there is no fun can't be there ready to get on board while some comic take the climbing on the titanic are thinking. investigations into the phone hacking cases rocking the u.k.

growing by the day with ever more questions being asked of key figures in political media and police circles as the scandal intensifies its impact threatens careers across the board but is lower amid reports now on how the case continues to want not just rupert murdoch but the u.k. prime minister david cameron as well. this is the most humble day of my life i'm enjoying this so. some major pins in the news hacking scandal maybe warplane but at the moment they're still standing despite the pull off the ball threatening to smash them out of the game. in the frame british prime minister david cameron and the murdoch's chiefs of political news empire news corp also implicated the police accused of taking but where will the next strike come in the phone hacking scandal and who will end up the biggest turkey. there's been

a large amount of fingers in ears and just a lot of heads in the sand and that is lethal for a prime minister and he's now in a real fight in a real really bad situation he could well be looking at some serious consequences for at the very least those star still around him fancy a flutter on the much of a century betting shops of flats the old son cameron being the first m.p. to pull over hacking and we've seen cameron over the last few weeks fall from one hundred you want to be the next cabinet member to leave chief four to one your state just slightly crept up again to five to one today as a result of his statements in the house where we thought he gave quite a good performance the murdoch's may of george ball's coming from every direction from m.p.'s it was someone not even in the game who hit the eighty year old kingpin right in the face with a phone despite profuse apologies to victims of his own newspaper's unethical behavior he has no intention of stepping down. given that you're.

what's less clear is whether david cameron remains the best person to lead britain out of this crisis of confidence it's cameron's arch rival and you miliband who believes he's got the skittle shaking. and he's going up a spare that will see the whole dot com watch. so that the country now the leadership we need why why doesn't he do more why don't we do more than give our apology and provide the full apology now for hiring mr colson and bringing him into the heart of downing street. commentators say to pin spotted machine has placed the prime minister on a firm of floating following wednesday's game in the house of commons but the match is still far from won you know. he is damaged before this

he was going to develop and there's a tough one count because none of that sort of damage the supreme the government actually stuck to him the scandals forced resignations all round top executives that news corp and the u.k.'s two most senior police officers many are asking if the prime minister will be next to find himself lying face down in the gully. david cameron's promised a full some apology if it turns out and he calls and was lying to him about his involvement in phone hacking but some say that won't be enough when this is over and we're a long way from that it's far from clear who can survive the frame still to come and remain standing at the top of the media the police and the government. nor and it's our london. good shot there you've done as communications

road trivia american n.-g. o. free press i spoke to him a bit earlier he said we've only seen the tip of the iceberg in the crisis. very cozy relationship between the government and throughout western democracies it's no less true in the united states than it is in the u.k. . and what we what we've seen is is sort of a laying bare of that relationship in a way that everybody suspected but now we now we can see that it's that. there are suspicions are proven true the only surprise would be if there weren't more surprises and there is suspicion that something similar or to a lesser or greater extent has been happening in the united states if in fact it is found that the allegations that news corp properties were looking for looking to hack the telephones of nine eleven families victims or victims' families that is going to be a storm the likes of which you've never seen in the u.s. . ahead for you this hour a new egypt with the same old problems as the reshuffle cabinet sworn in we as well

you. still calling for change but. just imagine this piece is about four and a half billion years old like the earth space rocks but it's a passion for cosmic collecting or just pursuit of profit will be explored on the beach about spreading in central russia. so he's expecting progress on his bid to join the e.u. and the rest of war crimes suspect go on how to teach that had been a key hurdle on the road to membership still needed clearing how to try to be extradited to the hague on saturday ports now from the capital well great. was pick up on and very much looks to the west the public opinion actually does differ quite significantly now the last time i was in vogue right at the end of last year i spoke to the deputy prime minister head as to why they're still such a government drive to this membership and he said that they really see this as a chance the serbian people to have

a normal life well the people here in serbia only have to look at what's happening right now increase in spain in italy to see quite clearly even to ship is not going to be the answer to all our country's problems now add to that but they're also a very disillusioned with the government's policies and the way that they've handled this whole partnership and dealings with the e.u. they feel the serbia is being made to jump through hoops and it was deficit pulling all these demands that are put on them by the this thing that's very little in return you will get in return what usually gets nothing whatsoever. serbia has got many many more hoops to jump over before it can get anywhere close to. member ship the e.u. has always linked thirty years. with the full cooperation with it and we've already heard from president parrish that he feels that they have the

moral and legal obligations to the hague so it's going to be very interesting not speed with this latest directive had it whether or not the e.u. is going to sell not just with words but with actions that it seems that with the rest serbia really has called brussels. brussels is not going to fulfill promises it gave. to the rest of god and how did so stephen carter good not to choose from the struggle it says story corps project. the list of demands. prison bitch is proving people who was. run by war. serbia very into the european union who were here because. we also. hear all serbia's economy. human sacrifices made so far over there brought him no results whatsoever all sure

about sixty percent of the serbs are opposed to. join the e.u. many have relatives abroad and are getting the picture things are wide. and so is losing greece where all. the success we can see or so even with low skill for propaganda. is committed it's the population. of the mutual who placating it all through something. very worth a sore spot a lot of interest on r.r.c. for in many of our top stories i was there for discussion if you want to join in as well why not and so we could if you log onto our teat okami also find these stories as well tonight a delivery of a difference in the lion's den a zoo no nice place to spend five weeks with his family of big cats hopefully it will turn out to be the lunch he said three had made wife nice story that one for

more lines he took home also fashions and fashion run high in st petersburg dozens of glamorous contestants putting on their very highest heels for a hundred meter sprint that's one of those heels don't crack there they go more about that than to r.t. dot com. egypt's new cabinet is pretty small in their followers pressure from protesters who once again gathered in tahrir square demanding faster reforms after the revolution. president mubarak was ousted in a national uprising february but since then critics complain that little. what's today's reshuffle going to mean let's talk about that with a professor at the american university in cairo and a former member of egypt's foreign ministry dr abdullah shell very good evening to you doctor thank you for being on r.t. international now we know that the reshuffles brought in new blood into the cabinet but there's still a hangover isn't there from what many in the country would call a rather dark past so will it actually bring any change the change that so many

people called for. had disappointed many of the people because. the government the people who have. this is the body of. unfortunately this government is coming to patch up and the press is trying the portions of the public opinion and in fact the council spent six months. without any major achievement so the people are getting very tired and. very heartless so i don't know what they are going. through as.

the people are talking about it. i'm going to have succeeded. is not very much. and i think people now are talking about. too much better. a better solution and this in fact is a very bad result we expect it. to council. and now we are very disappointed and fact that some of the segments of the prime minister we had been more disappointing but i think we have to have some. i believe myself that the problem. as. if enough.

people and so much blood was spilt during that uprising in federal why has it taken so long for any decisive reform. the people say that. they're not controlling. and i think in controlling the problem about a concept so this is why the people that astonished why then we got a lot more virus so as the situation is maintained as it is and the only difference is that while it is all there is not entirely certain machine so it is more violent and controlling the country through the music council although there is a council is confused it doesn't know how to get it i would call them. so in fact i'm afraid that the slogan will be a good little town. and the little thousand in fact was very much a pale by the people that had gotten the revolution i don't see that.

the council did not obey the orders to fire against the population and. a medical cause but. otherwise would be very risky for the military council this is why i'm still appealing to the middle council not to lose more time because now after six months egypt is deteriorating nothing is too much. respect for georgia briefly if you can what is your prognosis than well that is me what do you predict will happen then over the coming months. i think we have to take a short perspire to the people are very tired prices are getting very high everything is getting very tension and we are talking about the future political future i see that. i think it was before before taking for.

the first to clean egypt from the positive view and it's. there and the other people all the positions of the ministerial level and secondly we have to find out . a model for security before there's a good back to match it. by going to the people now it is collapsing no confidence between the people understood so after six months the field will give us a new model for the relationship between the security and the people and thirdly those who had been committing crimes against the people i did put to fair trial and public trial we hear of many resolutions the stories that are not convincing to the point that the people who feel that this is just the. ok dr we slightly lost the sound on the end there but dr abdullah shell thank you so much

space shuttle program i learned this is the last shuttle to be retired and is to be put on display at the kennedy space center and should be shin's by u.s. astronauts to the international space station will rely entirely on help from russia. sometimes you have to dig deep to reach for the stars they say that at least is the case in central russia is the region where meteorite fever spread in recent years and his example jumped at the chance to capture forwards. they don't believe in aliens of the time machine but they do spend most of their time looking for extraterrestrial matter it will take them billions of years back in time most meteorite hunters in russia do for profit but some still see it as their way of heat hiking through the galaxy. this is the oldest matter you can hold in your hands there is a theory that meteorites are part of planets core just imagine this piece is about four to have billion years old what the earth this valley about three hundred

kilometers east of moscow is their latest pitstop about ten thousand years ago the local fields took a heavy pounding from an iron shower creating the most brutal me to read ground in central russia is discovery in two thousand was a pure accident. if you get cheese with jugheads help with the draining off the excavators left a local resident was passing by he noticed a rather strange broken picked up the rock lay idly in his bomb for two years until the store program brought me to rights on t.v. and since he didn't for testing. but then the next few years about to be tons of meteorite my cereal was discovered here some would be unlikely of the donation. he's the only dog in russia trying to hunt for rocks from other planets in many ways meteorite hunting is a lot like gold digging you have to spend weeks and it while hoping for a stroke of luck but in today's prices searching for these acts trying to wrestle

rocks can be more profitable than even the good old gold for you or martian know lou when i meet her rights we are in high as the month can cost two or even three times their weight in gold the biggest findings usually gravitate to the not in states and western europe where most me to write collector is a base and while russia got the law x. where the facts are terrestrial rocks ten percent of their value must be paid to this. still some delusion to try and dodge the need to write tax base for taiwan halt was uncovered earlier this year at a moscow airport on its way illegally to the czech republic for their fallen stars but meteorites are increasingly becoming a blazing hot new commodity. and a hot commodity for most much kaiser and co there are shortly exploring whether americans are going to rise up against the big banks but first it's the business used for

to resolve the problems of gets a raise the debt ceiling could mean a default on its massive obligations there are concerns as well as international reserves a quarter of which is held in u.s. bonds now business spoke to jacob knell from morgan stanley russia he believes there's nothing to worry about just yet. no u.s. treasury secretary will allow the u.s. to default on eckstein reputation so if the debt ceiling doesn't get raised then what will happen is the u.s. will skip some domestic payments however if the deal that is done doesn't satisfy the great rating agencies there is a chance of a ratings downgrade and that may have an impact on the treasury bill market it may have an impact on the price of tea bills and that may have an impact on the value of russia's international reserves we don't think it will to really impact because the depth of the u.s. to build market is so big it's the cool source of funding of low risk assets for so many companies that we don't expect it to significantly move the price. minority

around six percent at one point two of those planes however did come out with a slight increase but there's still a lot of the drive coming from europe let's take a look at the european markets then chancellor merkel and french president sarkozy i really don't enjoy the approach to greece's debt crisis ahead of today's e.u. summit we'll see and point eight percent of that mr. president for thursday's session in russia marcus was were actually trading in the red most of the day but they came out at the close and that's lower unemployment rates way to retail sales and of course restoring world prices helped energy shares like kasparov up one point seven percent of the close burbank spent most of the day with losses but managed to have those at the end it actually gained one percent and was telecom games after about half a percent after gaining five and a half the previous session here where the national capital. has been really rocky

over the last. of the last few days everybody is watching what's happening in europe here can the eurozone governments find a longer term solution to this ongoing saga with the powerful european countries in particular greece today is the day here thursday today is the day where eurozone countries are supposed to come up and some will get some solution if they do that it's going to be respectful and i'm going to see russia really move if it goes and you know there is a potential there's also said already there will make people very very nervous and i do see that in today's trading section of the markets started to. move down and then there's a little enthusiasm kind of fruits and leaks that are coming out of the european because the actions and therefore the markets rallied and i was up with the. next i'll speak with the headlines.
