1:02 pm
uncompetitive. interesting. time from mr silver to any attempt to reassure markets saying that the country's economy had solid foundations good for the spring you know it's really awesome the whole euro zone might not be able to foot the bills as aussies are reports now it's the heart of the e.u. where protesters taking them and get sued. step by step activists from the fifteen m. movement hope to make europe a better place the point of it is to inform people that might not be informed about about things that they can do in their local government and to find out what problems they're having in their local government. in their small towns and to help them come come up with solutions we have reunions every evening we get to the village we meet with the locals and they tell us what's going on in their town. the organization was born from the protest marches in spain where more than twenty percent are jobless and youth unemployment is painfully over forty percent the
1:03 pm
highest in europe it's these numbers the drove thousands went to madrid streets in may now the financial food soldiers are beating a path to brussels and some other country is their problems are. even bigger. because. there's big. dream. strangely. overall they hold to change. all together to change that to change the fix. we we march like a. symbol for everybody to join us rachel is one of many nonstandard europeans with whom the fifteen and message present leaders knowing that if there is one thing europeans do agree on it's who to blame the politicians promising rescue but livery recession there's a lot of corruption there's
1:04 pm
a lot of injustice and people want to change that and people also in other countries i'm happy with that. in general the way the world is run with a lot of money in the hands of a few of the banking system. and the corruption of. school system and their. people power works if it's loud enough people are realizing that we do have power to change things in the certain way and basically we just have to get on the streets and make our voices heard so the idea is to go to. kind of well the central european parliament and things of the muscles. particularly people to basically protest that we're not having our human rights respected in the place where this is on the side it will take them two months to march the fifteen hundred plus kilometers to reach brussels where the last thing on their mind will be putting their feet up greece portugal spain people visiting their jobs and their homes and while the politicians in this country is insist the
1:05 pm
situation could get better call on people believe current economic policies of the eurozone lead down the road to nowhere in it i will start see spain. the warning from the e.u. commission president could be crisis is spreading has word the markets talked to richard winnings from the institute of economic affairs told me a little earlier and i'll tell you that the whole euro project has failed. looking at the figures i think a bailout or some sort of default for italy is almost inevitable because they have to pick on us to borrow something like five hundred billion euros five hundred twenty thirty now just a particular problem at the moment because all the other major economies are trying to borrow huge amounts of funds from the markets at the same time so i really can't see any way out the main problem is actually a failed year experiment in itself that was instigated decades a couple of decades ago and obviously if you have a one size fits all interest rates over a huge graph larry you're going to inflate these different bubbles all over the
1:06 pm
region and it's going to end up in tears because it will be a huge restructure instead of just question in southern europe just to make their economies bring back into competitiveness with germany and so on so really the whole system is fundamentally flawed if they're going to be sensible be european elites should be actually trying to work out. their response to a way for a year it's a great time for countries that use greece to leave the eurozone i think in the long run that's the only way otherwise they're healthier economies in northern europe are going to be brought down by that but the whole region. the syrian opposition has dismissed a decree from president assad allowing a multi-party government system nor could see the formation of political factions other than the ruling baath party it comes as the u.n. security council condemned escalating violence in syria and mounted and bloodshed and called for internal political dialogue it's reported the syrian opposition stronghold of hama has been overrun by government forces and witnesses have been casualties france says it may seek further action from the security council if the
1:07 pm
killing continues let's get more on this from political analyst danny she is joining me now live from london thanks so much for being with us here in r.t. now what do you think of a sad allowing a multi-party government system there in syria how serious do you think the regime is now about change. well i think i mean i can see nothing positive whatsoever in proposal to allow a position political parties it's far too late for this kind of of reform clearly the regime you know these are discredited leader a leader who should step down immediately and ideally face the kind of trial trial that in egypt is going through at the moment when you knew you as a dictator you know you have a choice either you reform and change society or you wait for what scale rebellion it's very clear that assad waited for the whites they were brought in and the way he's reacting is by
1:08 pm
a white for the whites came in retaliatory and oppression but nevertheless nevertheless he has said he is going to reform now isn't he is saying he's going to do what the opposition want and that is end one party rule so therefore why is it he's out of these words that the opposition has actually rejected that very thing one of the very things they want. but you cannot first first start you cannot murder your way out of trouble and when you try to do that which he has been trying to do over the phone past twenty five months there's no turning back and there are several problems with his proposal first of all is a feeling that the tens of thousands of people who are launching peacefully protesting against his regime and who he's killing maiming and imprisoning cannot be allowed to be members of a position political parties is it a free and free and fair elections or the kind of range of contests which he has organized today that it's very clear that he himself and his blood thirsty left
1:09 pm
tenants are international criminals and they should be dealt with as such and so the new proposal that he's offering is for these new political opposite parties to work alongside the root the baath party which has been in power since one thousand nine hundred eighty three after all these years and after so much blood bloodshed it's inconceivable that this can happen and let's not also lose sight of the fact that while he's offering allegedly a political reform he's also quietly demonstrations still a universe of bloody manner so this combination of on the one hand offering reform but on the other hand i keep equating a peaceful demonstrations he's not credible to your thoughts are very much in line with the french france just today expressed skepticism about this degree. what
1:10 pm
should western nations be doing should or should they be interfering or would any form of into his interference actually hinder the situation or help the situation there in syria. but i don't think that the military action is necessarily the also to the crisis in syria but what is noticeable is the change in the in the mood in the international community for the first time with her the u.n. security council can then the violence in syria in very forceful words about the secretary general ban ki-moon even went as far as calling it a sad feeling essentially and for me also added that those responsible for the guy and should be held accountable washington as well had very strong words against the al assad regime saying that our side himself is not indispensable for the stability of the regime that so that's a very strong statement and you do these words do these words really have any impact whatsoever on the sad action that's required and not words. i think in
1:11 pm
the diplomatic realm those words are. slap on the wrist effectively and they cannot compare with strong actions and strong measures for example. it's very clear that we're dealing with a free and with a criminal. surrounding him and it seems it's actually quite baffling that the international community cannot do much more to put an immediate end to the bloodshed gone from says francaise france also saying that if the violence continues there in syria it may seek further action from the u.n. i mean do you think more pressure will help i mean you're saying that more action is needed but do you think really that france is saying the right thing and putting the right pressure and perhaps this sort of pressure they're talking about is
1:12 pm
indeed intervention military intervention. i think the international community is right to keep putting pressure on the government for example it should be noted that the proposal in the new proposal from the government to offer political reform and allow position parties political committees to exist only a few hours after the u.n. security council condemned the violence in syria so it's having some sort of effect on the syrian regime but certainly it is certainly not a deterrent and. it might be in that military action. could i mean the straits of military action could be enough to threaten. to put enough pressure on the regime but only very thing to finish but the difficulties that he has unfolded all right we'll have to leave it there thank you
1:13 pm

maksim restaurant she saw her fiance being killed in front of her eyes so she was really pushed to that. point that she wanted to end her life experts agree that the reasons or drive a woman to become a suicide bomber are complex his anger and bitterness towards these radio keep asian forces is also the patriarchal nature of palestinian society according to and not because it's written several books on the subject here women suspected of sleeping with a man before marriage can be thrown out or even killed by their families and their owners it doesn't have to be true but in such a society there hero this is the way to get rid of women and through let them serve a crab with their dignity and honor and without a million their families but the irony is that all these women are held by some as martyrs many religious leaders are reluctant to send their daughters to the front

1:21 pm
a way of life that stretches back generations here in russia's far east haven and people have survived by living off the land but their numbers and culture are fading. well out here in the depths of the a more tiger if you look hard enough you still going to have an old traditional hunter gatherer a gang lifestyle we were fortunate enough to stumble across two families that have been living out here for about a month ploughing to day by loading up their reindeer to move themselves on thing another part of the. past there are fewer and fewer places for them and the elders say they know from siblings to move for the way in which we are dying out and it's all because of the gold miners and the barbarians they're destroying the tiger which now can't even provide us with enough food they've destroyed taken everything from us and offered nothing in return to me again you know. whether a blessing or
1:22 pm
a cause i'm sure is a region abundant natural resources and with gold currency trading and time high pressure to produce is greater than ever and few places most say in here. russia is third largest coal miner founded in ninety nine the joint russian british venture says it will increase. action this year by thirty three percent to some seventeen tons so here we can see the very beginnings of the gold extraction process several small holes are drilled which are then filled with explosives and then blasted and approximately thirty to forty thousand tons of rock will be broken out with each. it's a true sense that generates a huge amounts of point sed with mining at this operation all with a grade of three grams for each ton of god of all now i told the
1:23 pm
four is a million grams so i took out one million grabs three of the particles of gold and we have to recover those three it's the proverbial needle in a haystack an equation that just does not handle for those who see the tiger as their home others are more pragmatic an inevitable consequence of living in a lucrative non-state. mining in this area working more than a hundred here the old rainier did a lot of damage in this case it's new technology and new technologies are hard to obtain the gold and how to store waste materials we talk with and as i asked people . in this area and not all happen but i will say that most people say ok yes it's this gold mine will bring us more than we have before and growers lifestyle meaning more job sounds cultural schooling and schooling programs
