eight pm here in the russian capital you're watching r t thanks for being with us now to our top story thousands of protesters have set up camp in madrid central square angry at the crippling recession and mass unemployment well they know their country's and deep trouble but see their future being decided by brussels and the i.m.f. instead of being able to deal with the best of themselves well arty's has been a 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 iraqi we're going to follow in the footsteps of latin american countries take care of by mexico the government is controlled by the american bank and w.t.f. they don't care about the people. so the people decided it's time to voice their

concerns loud and clear before the 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 demanding the government shape up stop talking and do something about the situation this is not just about higher 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 responsibility is from the cover. because the government 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.

what to do. they go roaming the smoke doing their job properly look at elderly in the know don't want 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 another issue in the court t madrid. all there is more bad news for greece to its credit score has dropped to just one notch above default following last week's second bailout package of waiting stride moody's says rejecting the debt implies substantial

losses to private investors financial journalists you had bought over it felt says the rescue package is nothing more that backs pay money to other banks. we're bailing out the banks that we wouldn't be soft i presume with greece if there wasn't the problem of the french and the german banks not only of the book but of course there are the major players if they were in that role of the greek situation and beat were throwing money at the banks through grief this wreckage will certainly not help the greek economy the greek economy needs growth and since you're in the midst of a very bad recession blige a country cut spending to increase taxes then throwing some money. is not a solution greece is now effectively in the fold because you can calculate on the net present value what the private going to. do when you were mounting

a value reduction of or you can do 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 the last ten years before through this kind of crisis these weaknesses came to the surface. on the other side of the ocean american politicians are still tussling over how to raise the country's debt ceiling a lot of republicans and democrats argue secretary of state hillary clinton has been a trying to calm a nervous asian investors that they will meet next week's deadline but economic analyst might have a says it's already too late the united states is essentially bankrupt in any case if it increases the debt ceiling actually yes the chinese rating agency they're going has been saying even if they find an agreement and they increase the debt

ceiling it's going to be as a result more debt so the u.s. has thirteen point five trillion off dead and that's just the nomination of their budget it's not even the fiscal government wouldn't unfunded liabilities and that the united states government actually keeps of the books and if you include this figure via looking at two hundred trillion u.s. dollar it's absolutely beyond control and alternately piers that the united states will be facing a sovereign debt crisis very much along the lines of the so-called. periphery of it also the other european sort of supposedly stronger countries sauvie expect a major major sovereign debt crisis from the major western countries and we suggest that investor should stay out of that region and look for a lot for gold sort of a commodity is thought to help protect against what's going to occur there's a lot of talk in the rest of are the dangers of china's military growing and the

whole night over is this poses throughout asia and the rest of the go if you're looking at home of the united states of 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 has borrowed money and they can't afford it so. well there is still much more to come on the program including whether there's one side of justice on war crimes service life suspect appears that the big we take a look at why many serbs find a process deeply unfair. and the legal pics from the pharmacy are the reports of the russian alex painfully killing themselves at the drugstore hardtail because it's cheaper than heroin. the man who's admitted norway's swimmin deadly attacks has been charged with terrorism but a closed court hearing in oslo others approving pleaded not guilty saying he wanted to save europe and sent a strong warning signal a thirty two year old agree who will be held in isolation for four weeks also

claimed there were two more cells in the organization he belongs to the scandinavian country is still in shock by the body of government buildings in oslo as the massacre at an eigenvalue fell last friday police have reduced the number of victims to seventy six saying there were problems gathering information and on monday the nation held a deeply moving minute of silence for those killed in the atrocities investigative journalism twenty garstang says police may have already been aware of prove it. but 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 is 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 this guy obviously needs to go down if that's what the jury finds and let's make sure that he's not free to roam the streets because what concerns me is some of the right wing terrorists we've had in europe over the last thirty forty years really still are because from the operation gladio and other similar operations by nato still are walking the streets. and the city of journalists of tony gosling talking to us there. now five afghan children have been injured in an attack by a british apache helicopter they were working in a field in helmand province on saturday where u.k. forces were targeting an insurgent on a motorcycle nearby almost fifteen hundred civilians have been killed this year which is already the deadliest since the war started in two thousand and one more with lindsay driven from be a stop the war coalition thank you very much mr chairman for being out of program now of more a child casualties here as a result of nato operations and we know that that is something that will be lost on

president karzai who is already livid at a lot of civilian injuries and losses so what other reaction can we expect from this latest incident well i think it will just convince more people in afghanistan the war isn't helping them really is actually killing and injuring more and more people who knows you said in your introduction the latest report shows the last six months have been the most deadly since the war in afghanistan started for the civilians the real problem i think is that we have to make this an issue not just in afghanistan where people are very aware of what is happening but also here in britain where not to business news isn't very much for paul to our for nato as part of the military coalition in afghanistan they did promise to reduce civilian casualties are received that it's not actually working. well actually the policy of the americans in the last year has been to increase airstrikes and therefore the

civilian casualties are increased at least in part because of this so it isn't working isn't going to work when you have war where the reserve growing insurgency will be all sorts of people who are victims of this and children are obviously one of the worst of the casualties the only solution to this is the war isn't working it has there is absolutely no justification for nato forces to be there and that they should withdraw the troops this is now coming up to the tenth anniversary of the war and there is absolutely no question that this war is not getting better it is getting worse ok well whenever there are civilian deaths like this because all the forces do preserve the other side of the picture and they do point to successes like a killing up to eighty insurgents in a raid last week and fortunate as it is our heavy strikes the only way to root out

deep seated militancy i mean how else do you do it. well i think we have to look beyond this picture allegedly in two thousand and one the taliban was defeated it was followed by the government was overthrown by the initial stage of the war the taliban has now come back and are very very strong so in a while the whole question about whether you can kill eighty insurgents or anything else you have to ask why are the insurgents who are really why are they there in the first place the whole strategy of handing the country over to the afghan army and police is clearly flailing and failing badly so there has to be an honest assessment of what is happening in this war and the honest assessment of what is happening in this war is that fall from a pending terrorism fall from a democracy in the right to pakistan by their own more and more drone attacks it is a war which has not brought democracy afghanistan is one the most corrupt countries in the world and the truth is the nato presence and nato forces are not part of the

solution they're both speaking about that a transfer of control there from nato troops to local troops in afghanistan is still far from stable as the troops withdraw so how likely do you think it is to enjoy a return to taliban control and you said earlier that this withdrawal is actually failing. well the telegraph have grown in strength the americans are talking for the father but it is almost certain that whatever settlement eventually comes in afghanistan it will involve the taliban in some capacity nearly everybody now recognizes this so what is the point of continuing this war the point of continuing this war is because the americans and the british and their allies cannot admit defeat in the second country of to what happened in iraq and that is why they're there they are they in order to prop up a government but they have no real confidence in play all day in order to save their own faces they are there to protect their interests they're not there to

protect the ordinary afghans and we've seen this again this week all right thank you very much for your insights i really see a german a from the stop the war coalition thank you. now the last serbian fugitive wanted by the u.n. war crimes tribunal has appeared in court gold on how to face as a fourteen at charges including crimes against humanity during the balkans war in the one nine hundred ninety s. and surveyed officials hope his arrest will clear the way to e.u. membership but a star for three ports many serbs remain skeptical as to whether it's worth joining adul. so far the tribe you know has enjoyed it a hundred sixty one people most days have been served and there's been a fair amount of criticism for certainly from the public opinion here he'd hate tribunals starting with political and not necessarily legal interest but also strong public opinion here it will be because of the very much looks to the west that people have really don'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 they could quite potentially bring many more and yet it is something that we still see the serbian government really pushing for now a lot of people saying that really they will hold and to proselytise wishes they were supported by brussels when this government was put in place they called the parliamentary elections next year and elections the year after that so certainly they're going to be using the arrests and the certainly going to be using the candidacy for the e.u. if that ends up happening as a reason for the public to vote for them now that remain a number of obstacles in the way nonetheless one of those of course is possible now we know a lot of the member states will be pushing the serbia to acknowledge because there's

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. they had a chance to who's written extensively on the balkans war says court was set up to bring only one side to justice. tribunal that it is indeed he said it may need to exactly need two groups and we're going to start process as being the responsibility of a syrian joint criminal enterprise i don't think there really is more correct than other countries are already and militarily but i think the thing is is this really in the benefit of could benefit of the truth if you listen to what the europeans are saying they're saying up another group is going to cross they're not saying the

last three looks very sane and important production and the other hurdles remain namely that really nation by serbia over the recall are over its problems are possible i think this is the courage to begin to put it in power we can use it is backed by the united states in the european union is in fact ready to give away everything it can be given away it's only a question of hold they can formulate it in order to get it past the syrian border if. i were the shadow of nine eleven the u.s. and bark in a mission to root out terrorists but it led to a network of secret prisons and seizing suspects often without much evidence after years of torment many of those accused have since been released and later we will hear from one former inmate and the brutality he endured. i saw many people got killed on the torture and kind of i saw it. i was one of those sort of so while i was kind of close up on myself they used electroshocks because i will not sign

a cheaper deadlier alternative and its ingredients are all too easy to get hold of well the drug cartel is known as crocodile as its main element is the painkiller coding in which the government now wants to restrict sales up our cheesy girl god never ports of the lethal recordings increase in use and you may find some of the images upsetting. you don't even like they call it a crocodile because its use of skin turn scaly before it falls off virtually unknown ten years ago it's a mixture of petrol solvents phosphorous and most importantly cheap medicines continue to painkiller cody it's now become richer second most popular drug after heroin which the cheaper and more easily available burnet of injecting this legal cocktail rock he uses flesh in months nosedive i would in three years i haven't to be using it for two months i wish i never started teaching it the government's come up with a simple solution for now i can still buy coding containing drugs off the shelf but

time next year onwards i'll need a prescription to do that so the six showed a clearly heart of russians use these drugs on a regular basis but the majority of them feel completely legitimate reasons so in their pipe against drugs is the government going too far as i'm throwing the baby out with the bathwater. coding is sold over the counter in most western countries but that sales have bubbled in russia in five years and many say this is not a coincidence i think it was a mistake to start selling coding without a prescription in the first place by making it the most easily available opiate it spawned this problem your expert opinion has been divided some believe that this doesn't do enough to tackle the social cause of addiction and it punishes innocent consumers. there is no efficient system in the country for issuing prescriptions so the people who will suffer are the ordinary pensioners and housewives who need those medicines. the drugs then and the moscow suburbs we came here to ask what the

longer enjoying their fuel our surplus i mean when budget surplus and current account surplus the budget is now in deficit and my biggest concern is that the government has postponed the normal budget plan in shield two thousand and fifteen until then the government is still using oil revenues as normally we've heard about fifty percent of budget revenues coming from oil run in there is this coal deficit of three percent is really dangerous for muckraking on instability now russia is right in their budget circles but if oil price drops to seventy eighty it will immediately run five seven percent budget deficit. let's look at the markets now oil is declining for the first time in five days that's after president obama and congress failed to agree on raising the u.s. debt ceiling boosting concern that the government will fall like what is trading at ninety nine dollars a barrel and brand is a part hundred eighteen dollars a barrel gold have surged to record highs as investors are seeking safe haven amid
