the priority for those who gathered in madrid's central square the big part of their responsibility is from the government. because the government first of all. not to create the conditions at the beginning of two crises to fight against the crisis it reacts very late and on the other hand once the government. what to do with. the government it's not doing their job properly look at what in the old obama who are the people to wake up otherwise we'll just become slaves to the system who want to be treated as humans and they believe they can make a difference. the government has to change things because they don't have a choice. with greece in shambles and neighboring portugal trashed by the rating agencies spain is facing not just a financial but a deepening social crisis members of the so-called indignant marches say they want

their dignity preserved but whether their calls will be heard is a whole another issue even though. madrid. greece has had its credit rating cut again meaning it's now hovering just above a level that would constant consider to default attempts by the governments there to solve the financial crisis sauce thousands stay to the streets some turning to violence and financial analyst next keyser agrees with the protesters who feel the latest one hundred nine billion euro bailout will only plunge the eurozone deeper into trouble. it increases the amount of debt it increases the amount of debt in the eurozone it is increased of the amount of debt in grace so this is a plan cooked up by bankers to repackage recent. release debt that's what they do and it crowds out the real economy so if they think that this is going to help the economy grow their way to a position of paying off this debt or paying the interest on the debt that's not
3:03 am
going to happen because by giving bankers more dead to control the productive part of the economy you are eliminating that part of the economy's ability to pay off this debt so the banking cancer is just becoming worse in the eurozone and worse in greece running out the banks they're not bailing out the workers or the people who are on the ground so to speak they're bailing out european banks they're bailing out wall street banks they're bailing out other banks and so doing they're increasing the debt load so it's making the situation much worse and they're crowding out any ability for the workers in greece to generate enough income to pay off this debt this is consigning the population to debt servitude as kaiser there and in the u.s. the republicans and the democrats fail to strike a deal to resolve the nation's debt ceiling crisis over the weekend secretary of state hillary clinton who is in hong kong during a tour of asia says she has no doubt an agreement will be reached before next week's deadline economic analyst martin had he says the u.s.
3:04 am
is so deep in debt that a crisis is avoidable. the united states is essentially bankrupt in any case if they increase the debt ceiling actually as the chinese rating agency dugong has been saying even if they find an agreement and they increase the debt ceiling well it's going to be as a result more dead so if the u.s. has thirty five trillion off dead and that starts the nomination of the budget it's not even the fiscal death including all of the unfunded liabilities and that the united states government actually keeps of the books and if you include this figure really a looking at two hundred trillion u.s. dollar it's absolutely beyond control and old timidly appears that the united states will be facing a sovereign debt crisis very much along the lines of the so-called pigs the euro the referee as it also be other european so supposedly stronger countries so the expected major major crisis from the major western countries. suggests that

investors should stay out of the region and look for a. commodity is taught to hedge for protect against what's going to. the man charged with carrying out friday's twin attack on norway is due to make his first appearance in court to explain his actions thirty two year old anders behring breivik as admitted responsibility for a bomb attack in the capital and massacre at a youth camp however he's denied any criminal guilt for the terror that claimed at least ninety three lines said he wanted to start a revolution to defeat liberal immigration policies and the spread of islam the bomb and oslo targeted buildings connected to norway's governing labor party and the youth camp on toile island was also run by and under the region law he faces up to twenty one years in jail for the atrocities himself described as gruesome but necessary investigative journalist tony gosling told r.t. the case highlights a new brand of terrorism. anders breivik thought he was some kind of
3:06 am
noise. from medieval times because he's echoing the kind of crusader attitude that it's a very strange version of christianity that he. is he says he's a christian i don't think he is maybe the same kind of strange version of christianity that bush and blair have been coming up with over the last ten years or so so i think that this is actually the tip of an iceberg is actually quite a lot of this neo nazi activity out there and now i think the antiterrorist or thought is right across the world we're going to have to take this brand of terrorism much more seriously and particularly worrying is that he was a freemason and as declared that he was a freemason i would imagine that the norwegian police are now going to be talking to other all the other members of any masonic lodges that he was in because this seems to be the place where this kind of fake christian rather nasty racist
3:07 am
ideology was cooked up i would also add that it was interesting that the police said they never come across him before the norwegian police but i wonder very much i wonder if the secret service in norway has been watching him because it was very strange that when he was first arrested on friday the police actually called out his name to him now it was very i would be amazed if they would have actually known as they first approached him what his name was i would have thought that from the arrest point that's where the investigation would have started from. margaret. partners in chicago says the attack is likely to force their allegiance to reconsider immigration policies. i think what this did is it really highlighted the immigrant i don't want to call it a problem i want to call it you know immigrant reality there are these huge influx of immigrants coming into norway and you're oddly you know mostly from the bottle and most of norwegians probably didn't know that i'll post twenty five percent immigrate but we're friday they know a lot more of those statistics now i think you're going to you know people saying
3:08 am
well gosh this guy was a creative lunatic but we have another pretty serious problem too the prime minister you know specifically in the labor party generally did a great job you know comforting the nation those twenty four hours were haptic they were you know terrifying they did a great job comforting the nation here's the issue with people hearing more rightward what the labor party is going to have to do in norway is you know i don't think that the extent concern to people who are nervous about the immigrant population you know collazo some of the more extreme groups you know these two extreme views if that makes sense and adopt them into their own platform and say look you know the average jokey voter we understand you're concerned about this issue but we think norway had it a great interaction here is why so instead of managing and you know governing through fear they have to adopt some of those you know who are sort of jingle with stick policies but also to present you know

3:10 am
a big question what this money is being used for first of all who controls that then next has nato ever cared for the civilian population in libya i don't think so a group of countries bombing libya and using uranium weapons of course is a group of countries not caring for the civilian population abstaining just being neutral in this case of course was not enough because nato has used the security resolution it's a you know free hand to do just anything they want in effect they are fighting on the side of the rebels they're fighting the libyan government nobody knows when nato will decide to you know protect some civil populations and then kill the government more than twenty billion dollars in freeze the assets this money is going to be used to help the rebels but of course that is in a way totally illegal you can't just take money away from from governments and give
