10:01 am
a very warm welcome to you this is the life from moscow thousands of protesters have set up camp in madrid spain central square that angry the crippling recession and mass unemployment in other countries in deep trouble but see their future being decided by brussels and the i.m.f. instead of being able to deal with the mess themselves. as being to me. the cash in spain is going mainly down the drain at least that's the opinion of thousands of people who've rallied across the country. we're going to call in the footsteps of the latin american countries take care of by mexico the government is controlled by the european bank and than double duty they don't care about the people. so the people decided it's time to voice their concerns loud and clear
10:02 am
before they lose more than just the shirt off their back spain has one of the highest unemployment rates in the eurozone so while the european leaders have been occasionally meeting and comfortable quarters to talk about the future of the euro and the european union itself people in the country have been demonstrating on an almost weekly basis to many government shape up stop talking and do something about the situation this is not just about higher wages and better pension plans with more than forty percent of young people in spain unemployed simply getting a job is a priority for those gathered in the trades central square the big part of the responsibilities from the cover. because they go first of all. not create the conditions at the beginning of the crisis to fight against the crisis it reacts very late and on the other hand once the government.
10:03 am
was. a government it's not doing their job properly look at how we're in the know about 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 this so-called indignant marches say they want their dignity preserved but whether their calls will be heard is another issue even though madrid. there's more bad news for greece as well its credit score has dropped to just one notch above default following last month's second about a package ratings giant moody's says rejecting the vet implies substantial losses to private investors financial journalist your hand over and over the rescue
10:04 am
package is nothing more than banks paying money to other banks. we're bailing out the banks and we wouldn't be that soft i presume with greece if there wasn't the problem of the french and the german banks not only in but of course they are the major players in this if they were in that rollerball greek situation indeed we are throwing money at the banks through greece this package will certainly not help the greek economy the greek economy needs growth and since you're in the midst of a very bad recession you're gliding the country and cut spending to increase taxes then throwing some money at it is not the solution greece is now effectively in default because you can calculate on a net present value what the private bond holders will given you amount of value reduction or four you can do
10:05 am
a value reduction of around twenty percent in europe we don't have a political union and we don't we certainly don't have flexible labor markets so from the beginning. there were huge weaknesses in the whole construct of the monetary union in europe and my big surprise is that it has lasted ten years before through this kind of crisis these weaknesses came to the surface but on the other side of the ocean of american politicians are still tussling over how to raise the country's debt ceiling while republicans and democrats argue secretary of state hillary clinton has been trying to calm nervous asian investors that they will meet next week's that line but economic analyst and martin headache says it's already too late. united states is essentially bankrupt in any case if they increase the debt ceiling actually yes the chinese rating agency that has been saying even if they find an agreement and they increase the debt ceiling what is going to be as a result more debt so if the u.s.
10:06 am
has thirteen point five trillion off dead and that starts the nomination of their budget it's not even the fiscal gap including all the unfunded liabilities there the united states government actually keeps of the books and if you include this figure you know two hundred trillion us dollar of it's absolutely beyond control and all timidly it appears that the united states will be facing a sovereign debt crisis very much along the lines of the so-called. periphery as about also be other european supposedly stronger countries saudi expect a major major sovereign debt crisis from the major western countries suggest the investor should stay out of that region and look for a lot frog was sort of a commodity is thought to head for protect against what's going to occur and there's a lot of talk always in the rest of the dangers of china's military growing and how much of a risk this poses to asia and the rest of the go but if you're looking at how much
10:07 am
the united states is spending on military there's a strain of it's totally disproportionate the u.s. is spending a lot more the only difference is the u.s. is doing that this war of money and they can't afford it so you have to and so on. and there's so much more to come here on the program including whether there's one side is just a small crimes are so vast suspect is at the hague we take a look at why in many serbs by the process be under. lethal fix from the pharmacy r.t. reports on the russian addicts painfully killing themselves with a drug store cocktail because it's cheaper than. because of norway has lit a deeply moving minute of silence for the ninety three victims killed enough. twin attacks per scandinavian country has been shaken by the bombing of government buildings in oslo and the massacre island youth camp the tragedy has also touched the royal family the crown princess of noises that brother was one of the first
10:08 am
victims gunned down at the camp a man who emitted both atrocities has been charged with terrorism and will now be held in isolation for four weeks thirty two year old out of the previous pleaded not guilty saying he wanted to save europe and some are strong warning signal you also claimed that there were two more cells in the organization he belongs to investigative journalist tony gosling believes there's a new kind of terrorism on the rise. anders breivik thought he was some kind of teutonic knights for many evil 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 he says 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
10:09 am
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 the norwegian police are now going to be talking to all the other members of any masonic lodges that he was in because this seems to be the place where this kind of christian rather nasty racist ideology was cooked up i would also add that it was interesting 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's very i would be amazed if they. i would have actually known as the first approached him what he's name was i would have thought that from the arrest point that's where the investigation would have started from. the proclaims that he wanted a change in the society apparently referring to the country's largest muslim
10:10 am
population social experts think the tragedy might now forcing the regions to reconsider their immigration policies i think that this is it really highlighting the immigration i don't want to call it a problem i want to call it you know integrated reality in parts of immigrants coming into norway and you're oddly you know most awful and most of norwegians probably didn't know that was twenty percent immigrate who were private they do a lot more of those statistics now i think they're going to be you know people saying gosh this guy was critically wounded today but we have another pretty serious problem ensues the prime minister was basically in the labor party generally do great job you know comforting the nation goes twenty four hours were happy they were you know tear i did a great job comforting the nation here's the issue we will be hearing were great word with the leader pretty good you have to do and go away is you know i don't think that being bent concerns of people who are nervous about the immigrant
10:11 am
population you know because of the more extreme groups you know these extreme views in that makes that and adds up and is their own platform and facebook you know average joe we understand your concerns about this issue but we think we're effective in great interaction here is why so instead we have to doing it in you know governing through fear and they have to drop some of those you know who are through jingoistic policies but also to present you know a more positive view of norway boy or. public policy expert the moderator both of you for talking to us from chicago. the last serbian a fugitive wanted by the u.n. war crimes tribunal is to appear in court later on monday court on which faces fourteen charges including crimes against humanity during the balkans war in the one nine hundred ninety s. serbian officials hope that his arrest will clear the way to e.u. membership but as nazis and sarah firth reports many serbs remain skeptical as to whether it's worth joining that or. so far the type deal has indicted one hundred
10:12 am
sixty one people mesa days have been served and there's been a fair amount of criticism certainly from the public opinion he he did take tribunals as acting with political and not necessarily legal interest there's also strong public opinion here because they the government very much looks to the west the people here really didn't feel any more like joining the e.u. is necessarily going to be in their school their country's interest they only have to look to greece to italy to spain to see that joining the e.u. membership is not the answer to the country's problems in fact in many cases it could quite potentially bring many more and yet is something that we still see the serbian government really pushing for now a lot of people saying that the really. the holden to cross is wishes they were supported by brussels when this government was put in place because the
10:13 am
parliamentary elections next year and elections the year after that they certainly did against the using the arrests and assessed against be using the candidacy for the e.u. if that ends up happening as we send for the public to date now that remain a number of obstacles in the way nonetheless one of those tools is the system that we know a lot of the member states will be pushing to serbia to acknowledge because they've independence as they have here within serbia that is extremely unpopular with the public opinion and we've had to do that for any government to come out and make that agreement would be political suicide. for supporting you with. thirteen minutes past the hour in the shadow of nine eleven the u.s. embark on a mission to root out terrorists network of secret prisons under seizing suspects often without much of after years of torment. many of those accused have since been
