the heart of the e.u. where protesters a taking. 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 in their in their small towns and to help them come come up with solutions we have reunions every evening when 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 highest in europe it's these numbers the drove thousands of to madrid streets in may now is financial foot soldiers are beating a path to brussels to some other country is their problems are.

the system and there can. people power works if it's loud and people are realizing that we do have power to change things in a 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 all the things that the muscles. particularly people to to basically protest that we're not having our human rights respected in the place where this is going to say that it will take them two months to march to fifteen hundred plus kilometers to reach brussels where the last thing on their mind will be putting their feet up greece portugal spain people those in their jobs and their homes and other politicians in this country is insist the situation could get better call one people believe current economic policies of the euro zone lead down the road to nowhere in a golf cart see spain. across the atlantic the world's largest economy has been

pulled back from the brink of default in an eleventh hour compromise but there are fears political squabbling in washington may have blown investor confidence in the u.s. sending them to safe havens in developing markets such as china but currently china holds more u.s. federal debt than any other foreign country for more on this we can now talk to george coup who's the founder of international strategic alliances a company established to assist american companies for cross border alliances mystically thanks very much indeed for joining us now has this recent political deadlock in washington sent alarm bells around the world that the u.s. is now no longer a safe haven for investors money. i think it has shaken. because of korea. in many instances but i can't speak for all the investors for certainly. looking at what happened in washington doesn't raise anybody's confidence that

politicians will do the right thing well how worried has this political wrangling and of course all this talk of this massive debt in the states left the chinese who are of course holding a lot of instead as i've just mentioned. well i think bill very concerned even at the beginning of the what we call the financial tsunami back in two thousand and eight and even then they repeatedly asked obama administration to protect the dollar protect it keep it down slightly at all as all the while they were doing this they were investing. their monetary resources in hard assets. including oil fields mineral deposits in places like africa latin america. places like that and. recently we see that they're also investing in stock markets for the markets such

as japan for example one place where they would like to invest more would be the united states but the political atmosphere is very unfriendly to the chinese vessels and of course not just political atmosphere but also the perception of the country not to help me as well as getting tangible evidence of a country in trouble it's the perception and surely these ratings agencies for example china's they don't raise and you see that's downgraded the u.s. scorns not a negative outlook on it i mean how worried should the u.s. be that foreign agencies always using the agencies in the us giving a poor outlook but what about foreign agencies following suit. well you know the u.s. ship be concerned and should be worried but i'm not sure that the our politicians in washington are getting the message it seems like they are involved in their daily struggle and battle and they place

a higher importance to winning those political points then taking into consideration the national interest stage as well as the world why interest in a financially stable market so what about you i mean your job your assisting american companies for uncrossed amounts of cross border alliances in this situation is surely making your job a lot more difficult now. well. i guess i should be gay in a program indicated. retired consult so i'm not as heavily involved as i used to be and i'm more watching on the silence but i certainly the question is should anybody in in my in my situation be concerned yeah i'm very concerned about the future of the united states much less concern. what's going on in asia

there's no question in my mind the asia including china but other parts of asia as well is very much on the rise and they seem to be much more sure footed and they get things done with their countries what's going on in this country and i am an american citizen my my my children and grandchildren here in the u.s. and you know i much more worried about the prospects of the u.s. and elsewhere very interesting to hear your thoughts george who retired and yet still an active consultant and the founder of international strategic a nonsense company that establishes american companies to cross border is very good to hear what you have to say thank you. french judges avoid an investigation into the new international monetary fund chief over allegations he abused her power while finance minister in two thousand and eight christine legarde intervened in a commercial battle between

a french tycoon in the formerly state own bank to approve a payment of around three hundred million euros to the business when they got the knives misconduct she only took over from the many trials can at the i.m.f. last month after he was charged with attempting to rape a new york hotel maid glare a professor of political science from paris west university on top a lot of the force and told me earlier that he believes the investigation is unlikely to affect the guards job because of her political ranks. but debate on this case was going on in france before she was actually wanted for. peace process can she was appointed in spite of the ending. of french president. formally used to find it in france wanted to find somebody to speak to represent and he's also involved in this in this case should have the green bus and could well be fun to type in a business tycoon who is one of his friends but i think they're both the best you

should would not go very far because the best i suppose would be stymied in a case the french president is involved and he cannot be prosecuted ordered law so you know what ok so he's not even sure some aspects of the case could not be discussed as long as suchness is president of france so from this angle i don't think it's you know stopping her from doing a job at the i.m.f. from a democratic point of view it's disheartening to see that somebody who is under investigation or could be and invest investigation was appointed for such a high level job. the syrian opposition has dismissed a decree from president assad allowing a multi-party government system the law 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 demanded an end to bloodshed and call for internal political dialogue it's reported the syrian

opposition stronghold of former has been overrun by government forces with witnesses saying there have been casualties france says it may seek further action from the security council if the killing continues. has told me that despite the new decree president assad has wasted too much time to make changes. i can see nothing positive whatsoever in a proposal to allow a position political parties it's far too late for this kind of reform as a dictator you know you have a choice either you reform and change society or you wait for a white scale rebellion it's very clear that assad waited for the whites came rebellion and the way he's reacting to it is by whites whites came to tell it see an oppression you cannot murder your way out of trouble and when you try to do that which he has been trying to do over the for the past four and a half months there's no turning back is it offering free and fair elections or the

kind of rate contests which she has organized to date it's very clear that he himself and his blood thirsty left hands are international criminals and they should be dealt with as such and let's not also lose sight of the fact that while he's offering allegedly a political reform he's also quelling demonstrations still in a very bloody manner it's very clear it's a finished regime but the difficulty is that it hasn't fallen. dmitri medvedev has told syria's president assad he needs to carry out reforms and talk to the opposition russian leader believes that both sides can find common ground a sad future awaits syrians and northeast success really in your pocket unfortunately the situation in syria has taken a dramatic turn we real politicians should have followed developments those with gadhafi libya gave the oil in order to destroy the opposition the syrian president gave no social does not so unfortunately

a lot of people are dying in syria this is our biggest concern in my private conversation with the president and in private letters i've sent him and i discuss the same ideas and the reforms need to be carried out so he should establish peace with the opposition establish peace in the country create a modern state if he fails to do that in a sound future awaits him well at the end of the day we'll have to make our decision we watching the situation is changing our good lines are two years of the with but the russian president has given an interview to our team and other media organizations on the eve of the third anniversary of the acetylene more speaking about those events and nicholas as the measurement that have said georgian president mikheil saakashvili should face an international court the start of the war in two thousand and eight they applauded what you present is that interview in full all r.t. at six g.m.t. on friday. that aggressive war that threw a tiny nation into the global spotlight. three

years after georgia attacked satisfaction. could anything how stop the bloodshed. i did russia have any choice but to step in. my president medvedev gives r.t. to straight answers. if you missed anything in the program you can go to our web site there you can always find more stories news updates an eye catching video he got everything in addition to what you see here on screen here's a taste of what's lined up for you right now at the moment a horrific story from central russia for example you can find out there for a blind elderly widow was tortured by his own daughter chained to mark in the garden like a dog. and then more friendship between teachers and nor stopping contact with students through online networking sites comes into effect in one

american state those stories and plenty of others are to talk on. reinstating capital punishment in great britain has become the most popular eep petition on a government website launched today if one hundred thousand visitors line it will be debated in parliament the website has become so popular that it crashed because of the level of traffic we're going to get more on this from an investigator for the stop lethal injections project in london thanks very much indeed for being with us on r.t. well clearly a big reaction to this petition on the website there why do you think this issue on the death sentence has been issued should say has been raised now. i think we have to see this something about political tool in reality the website has just been launched the death penalty is clearly an issue that gets people in

plain so it's useful in a time where perhaps. there may be seven. certain right wing bloggers who haven't haven't got that much to say necessarily at the moment but you think it's an indication of the general view on behalf of society on is how to towards law and order in britain it's quite an indication isn't it. i don't think it is necessarily i really don't think the timing is particularly pertinent. if anything the very fact that people may be dissatisfied with the law and order in britain that should prompt. all the more against the death penalty rather than for it because it just shows that the system is fallible and fallible system can't have measures that are irreparable well the last sixty cushion was carried out in britain almost fifty years ago but do you really think that the death penalty could actually return after

a parliamentary debate and of course being a democracy if there's support for that do you think that really could happen. and no i don't i mean i think i would i mean it's of course we can debate this and i think it's always useful to have to date but in terms of the british public. i cannot imagine we would go back in time i think what we will see in the coming years is more and more countries polishing i can't imagine that they'll be a real statement certainly not good for what the of the alternatives to capital punishment for killers of children and some of the crimes where the evidence is so strong and obvious that that person is guilty. i think one thing that we have to establish is very most of the time this this evidence we can never be one hundred percent certain and we have to bear that in mind and wonder whether it is ever worth the possibility that an innocent person might be executed

by the death penalty is worth that and i think most people who are asked that will say no in terms of the killers of children and policemen life imprisonment to me is a far more suitable punishment and i think for most serious serious crimes that for society in terms of teaching society that the response to crime and murder is an optimal murder of course and perhaps a very important lesson and i also think that for themselves that's a chance for form and there's a chance of teaching other people we have in thank you. actually being a benefit to society from prison which i think is a very interesting idea and you don't have to be trying to tell someone. thanks very much indeed for your thoughts that's all we have time for thanks very much for joining us live in london investigative lethal injections project thanks.

palestinian women are joining the ranks there would be suicide bombers those who carried out atrocities see they were waging war against israeli occupiers seeking vengeance but one woman was captured before she doesn't have her device and that was a very different mission. brings us the story. this thirty seven year old palestinian mother doesn't attract much attention when she walks down the street but she's walked a long and difficult path from would be suicide bomber to peace maker it wasn't so long ago that she felt could see was planning to strap explosives to her body and blow herself up in an israeli supermarket as a medical. i called fatah and told them i needed all the equipment but they just laughed and said you're joking i said if you don't give it to me and hamas will i said think about it for a month and then they called me a month later and turkey everything is ready for you there. it was the second intifada or palestinian uprising and already two of chivas teenage cousins had been killed by israeli soldiers while her brother was serving eighteen years in prison

for his part in a suicide mission well i am a mother and i love my life but i wanted to do it because the israelis destroyed our estate is i wanted to destroy their arrogance female suicide bombing is relatively new in the palestinian world lofa interests twenty eight year old divorced paramedic from ramallah became the first woman to blow herself up in jerusalem in two thousand and two ten more women have since followed in a footsteps one of them women that committed suicide in. restaurant she saw her fiance being killed in front of their eyes so she was really pushed for that. boy that she wanted to end her life experts agree that the reasons are drivable me to become a suicide bomber are complex there's anger and bitterness towards the israeli occupation forces there's also the patriarchal nature of palestinian society according to and not a book is written several books on the subject here woman suspected of sleeping

with a man before marriage can be thrown out or even killed by the family's numerous other threads could be true but in such a society that all of us can feel this is the way to get rid of women and poor lead them serve a problem with their dignity and honor and without their families but the irony is that while these women are held by some as martyrs many religious leaders are reluctant to send their daughters to the front line as bombers and although islam condemn suicide explains shaikh mohammed it's acceptable when fighting colonise ation and occupation if there are some groups or governments. will come to our territories that we are aware of you have to to fight against these invasions she first says her reasons were both political and personal she was fed up with the bombs falling around her and ashamed that after just two years of

marriage her husband had run off with another woman life had simply become too much the plan was simple she thought was going to attain to be created and high fifty three pounds of explosives and give me a maternity dress she was going to come here to natanya and israeli town not far from a home and blow herself out among israelis suicide bombing is a kind of attack that goes in between. all women there is no excuse absolutely no excuse at all but her plan was foiled by a palestinian informant who tipped off the israeli army chief or was sentenced and spent six years behind bars now back in. home she says she regrets it and devotes her time to telling her story to both israelis and palestinians in the hope that both sides can come to better understand the other of the lies of the years later my daughter asked me who i was going to leave her with and i said with grandma i didn't understand at the time how much she and my parents would have suffered then

i understand now i know that blowing myself up wouldn't have changed anything the only way to peace is for israelis and palestinians to work together. a strong message from a rather surprising source policy r t two current. well it turns out today for the moment next it's the business news with the matrix. thanks bill hello and welcome to the program the water business arctic transnet says it is ready to cancel the contract with its chinese partners if the dispute over the underpayment for deliveries is not resolved russia's pipeline monopoly is also ready to pay back ten billion dollars a board from chinese banks ahead of schedule if the deal goes through on the court because he says the chinese firms are not sticking to the prices of the contract signed two years ago meanwhile beijing says it's primarily concerned with the transparency of pricing that's next chinese partners paid

a part of the existing that earlier this year. russia is extending its most ambitious privatization program since the one nine hundred ninety s. the government has to fully sell fourteen major state companies by twenty seven c. but it will keep a golden share and six perms on the list and that includes russia as well major ross the aft end to rouse the energy producer and russia's second largest land the t.d. bank this will give the state the ability to see our boat all of the shareholders if needed now other companies which will be sold completely include albatross all russia's biggest diamond producer international airline aeroflot and hydroelectric power company ross hydro. and your privatization plan could earn rational over two hundred billion dollars by twenty seventeen but arrives the money on from morgan stanley bank says it's not only about generating. if you prioritize you want

this as it's good to perform in a more efficient way and to perform in a more efficient way and your new better manager of better skills or better technology has ever seen it's not about selling something good for getting the ball there because this as a state in the russian and it would be important for the government go see was it the right or not quite the right in resolving the needs budgetary and other issues just for the pro-business vision not at all i think that privatisation should. improve the quality and efficiency of the us but the. private sector of the markets now who while is declining around five dollars now the light sweet five forty four brands this is on the back of a high dollar and concerns about global demand juicer concerns about the pace of the economic recovery of the global economy us take

a look at why this is basically this is because the jobless claims in the united states declined only one thousand last week demonstrating just a marginal improvement there for what we're seeing in the dow jones and the nasdaq of the real nosedive they're down around three percent each kraft foods being the only exceptions down point nine percent as the company said it would split into two publicly trading entities and european stock markets ended the day on an even bigger negative now its full c. and the dax down three point four percent they actually opened off on the back gains on wednesday and wall street. as you can see there plunged into the red at the end of the session because he was raised by a ten percent loss for lloyds banking group on the back of poorly received results and inmarsat was shedding ninety percent of the clothes off of the communications providers that cost in his words which are all bad and the withdrawal of troops from afghanistan was also piecing into revenues. what is this is the closing

pitcher for a rush on the obvious decline of two point four percent my sixteen point one percent mainly due to a drop in that energy shares will snap down two point four percent as the close because of the coining of the three points is good bank i would mags were feeling better than the markets just down point nine percent and one of the few gave those in those a session was in surround off just a notch that's because the company was included on the privacy is a sham and from its. right join my colleague she will be here in the studio delivering an update friday morning's news eight am moscow time and of course join her if you can bill is next with headlines.
