live in moscow just turned one am here in the russian capital ahead of the commission has joined the struggles to lift the region out of its financial pits cording on yet more money to be made available to struggling economies jerzy emanuel who also wants the bailout fund to be able to buy government bonds as the major eurozone economies of spain and italy face being crushed under that debt or in costs for both countries investors rush to rid themselves of risky bonds italy avoided the worst of the boring bubble of production. and competitive causing bond interest to search to a unique. prime minister silvio berlusconi attempted to reassure markets saying the country's economy had solid foundations. if spain or italy asked for help the eurozone might not be able to foot the bills it's on t.v. reports it's the heart of the e.u. where protesters are 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 and 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 on to madrid streets in may now the financial foot soldiers are beating a path to brussels and some other country is their problems. even. big.

strangely. the whole chain. all together to change that to change the things. we march like a. symbol for everybody to join us rachel is one of many non spanish europeans with whom the fifteen m. message resonated knowing that if there is one thing europeans do agree on it's who to blame dodgy politicians promising rescue but delivering recession there's a lot of there's a lot of. people want to change that people also in other countries i'm happy with that. in general the way the world is run with a lot. all that money in the hands of a few of the banking system. in the direction of. your little system and you're convinced people power works if it's loud enough 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 where the. kind of where all the central european parliament and all the things that the. particularly. to basically protests that we're not having our human rights respected in the place where this is going to so 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 those in their jobs and their homes and while the politicians in this country is insist the situation could get better common people believe current economic policies of the euro zone lead down the road to nowhere in the dallas carty spain. across the atlantic u.s. stock markets have plunged despite the last gasp agreement by congress to avert federal default with wall street's worst day in three years the dow jones soared biggest one day drop since december two thousand and eight raising its entire gains

for the year as investors flee u.s. uncertainty to safe havens in developing markets such as china george crew who's an expert in helping american companies form international partnerships has told me that the crisis shows that washington's not tuned in to economic signals. i think it has shaken. to the core in. that in many instances i can't speak for all the investors but certainly. looking at what happened in washington doesn't raise anybody's confidence that the politicians will do the right thing the u.s. ship be concerned and should be worried but i'm not sure that the politicians in washington are getting that message it seems like they are in in their daily political struggle and battle and they place a higher importance to winning those political points then taking into

consideration the national interest of the united states as well as the world why interest in a financially stable market in china they had repeated atlee asked steal my obama administration to protect the dollar to protect the value of the dollar and keep it from. sliding all in all a while they were doing this they were investing. their monetary resources in hard assets our assets i would include all feels mineral deposits in places like africa latin america us trail in places like that and. recently we see that they're also investing in stock markets in equity markets such as japan for example 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 by the surveys are as well is very much on the rise and they seem to be much more sure footed and they get things done over there compared to what's going on in this country. the syrian opposition has dismissed a decree from president assad authorizing a multi-party government system after months of violence and unrest in which human rights say over sixteen hundred have died the law could see the formation of political groups other than the ruling ba'ath party assad's gesture came after the un security council condemned his regime is deadly crackdown on protesters and called for an internal political dialogue to end the bloodshed local reports of brutal military assault on the syrian opposition stronghold of hama remains in full swing with activists saying that dozens more were killed in the last twenty four hours to over one hundred died since the weekend from someone else that may seek further action from the security council if the killing continues political analyst

libya ramdani has told me that president assad has already made his political trials and it's not the one of reform but brutal oppression. 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 white scale rebellion it's very clear that assad waited for the whites gave rebellion and the way he's reacting to it is by a white the whites came to tell it he and oppression cannot murder your way out of trouble and when you try to do that which he has been trying to do over the fall past four and a half months there's no turning back is it offering free and fair elections or the kind of rigged contest which he 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 is 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 the russian leader believes if both sides can find common ground assad future awaits syrians. nourse it is thought successful in your book unfortunately the situation in syria has taken a dramatic turn we real politicians should follow developments gadhafi in libya gave violent orders to destroy the opposition the syrian president gave no such orders unfortunately a lot of people are dying in syria this is our biggest concern in my private conversation with the president and in the private letters i've sent him i discussed the same ideas reforms need to be carried out so he should establish

peace with the opposition establish peace in the country and create a modern state if he fails to do that then a sound future awaits him and at the end of the day we'll have to make our decision we're watching the situation is changing our guidelines are to. the russian president has given an interview to r.t. and other media organizations on the eve of the third anniversary of the setting more speaking about those events in the caucasus dmitry medvedev said georgia president the georgian president mikheil saakashvili should face an international court for starting the war in two thousand and eight and you can watch president read it interview in full here on r.t. at six am g.m.t. on friday. that aggressive war that threw a tiny nation into the global spotlight. three

years after georgia attacks out the set yet. could anything have stopped the bloodshed. and did russia have any choice but to step in. president medvedev gives r.t. the straight answers. palestinian women are joining the ranks of would be suicide bombers and he carried out atrocities say they were waging war against israeli occupied and seeking vengeance but one woman was captured before she detonated her device and now has a very different mission paula slipper 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 maddock in front of the bar 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 how much will they said think about it for a month and then they called me a month later and said ok everything is ready for you. it was the second intifada or palestinian uprising and already two of she first 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 live but i want to do it because the israel is destroyed or is it is i want to destroy their arrogance female suicide bombing is relatively new in the palestinian world wafa idris a 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. committed there's always side. restaurant she saw her fiance being killed in front of their eyes so she was really pushed to

their. point that she want to talk to and her life experts agree that the reasons that drive a woman 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 to bercow who's written several books on the subject here woman suspected of sleeping with a man before marriage can be thrown out or even killed by their families enormous it doesn't have to be true but in such a society that can kill this is the way to get rid of women and to let them serve a problem with dignity and honor and without a million 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 are you have to to fight against these invasions sheaffer 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 the tame to be pregnant and hide to see if we howls of explosives and give me a maternity dress she was going to come here to the tanya and israeli town not far from the home and blow herself out among israelis suicide bombing is a kind of attack that doesn't different 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 schieffer 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 lines i am hundred years later and my daughter asked me who i was going to leave her with and i said with grandma i didn't understand of the time how much she and my parents would have suffered i understand and 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. french judges of warden investigation into the new international monetary fund chief over allegations she abused her power while finance minister in two thousand and eight christine legarde intervened in the commercial battle between a french tycoon and a formerly state owned bank to approve a payment of around three hundred million euros to the businessman the garden eyes were misconduct she only took over from dominique strauss kahn of the i.m.f.

last month after he was charged with attempting to rape a new york hotel maid gala a professor of political science from paris west university. believes the investigation is unlikely to affect the guard's job because of her political leanings. the debate about this case was going on in prince before she was actually wanted before she replaced ross can she was appointed in spite of the pending case the french president who is very close to this former minister of finance in france wanted to find somebody to speak to represent crowds and he's also involved in this in this case you know the reimbursement of public funds to tycoon a business tycoon who is one of his friends but i think they're both the investigation would not go very far because the investigation i suppose would be stymied in a case that french president is involved and he cannot be prosecuted in

a court of law so you know if there was a case and it's not even sure some aspects of the case could not be discussed as long as suckers is the 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 rather disheartening to see that somebody who is under investigation or could be and invest investigation was appointed or such a high level job. talking to be learning now if you missed anything in the program or if you want to see that interview in full you can simply go to our web site you can always find more stories there news updates and catching video online all the time at dot com now here's a quick taste of what's there at the moment should you go on the right now you can find out why some islamists want to enforce a strict sharia law in london and other cities in the u.k. advocating any means from abstention to punishments including amputation to make britain what they say will be sin free. but also on the website

a moment no more friendship between pupils and teachers and all stopping contact students through online networking sites comes into effect in one american state details on that story and others on our team dot com. when next we take you to one of russia's far flung corners when digitas people enjoy life in the wild. today were in russia's far east and the region is a place of breathtaking natural beauty where or inspiring wilderness meets the long held traditions of the event the people there is also rich in natural resources namely gold about industrialization it's getting harder for locals to preserve that culture as i was habits report.

it's just. it's a way of life that stretches back generations here in russia's far east i think people have survived by living off the land but their numbers and culture are fading. well out here in the debt of the amours tiger if you look hard enough you can still find evidence of the traditional hunter gatherer lifestyle we were fortunate enough to stumble across these two families that have been living out here for about a month now and today they're loading up their reindeer to move themselves on to another part of the fall. fast there are fewer and fewer places for them to go and the elders say they know who to play to move for the way in which we are dying around and it's all because of the gold miners the barbarians they're destroying the tiger which now can't even provide us with enough food they've destroyed our home taken everything from us and offered nothing in return. whether

a blessing or a car moorings a region abundant in natural resources and with gold currently trading at nor time high the pressure to produce is greater than ever and few places more so than here . russia's third largest gold miner founded in one thousand nine hundred four the joint russian british venture says it will increase production. by thirty three percent to some seventeen tons so here we can see the very beginnings of the gold extraction place there 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 being woken up with each blast. it's a process that generates huge amounts of waste we're mining at this operation all with a grade of three grams for each ton of gold for. a teller

for is a million grams so i took that one million grams 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 add up for those who see the tiger as their home others are more pragmatic an inevitable consequence of living in a lucrative landscape. mining in this area more than one hundred years. old really did a lot of damage in this case use new technology it's new technology talked into gold and how to store waste materials we talk with in disaster people even in this area and not all here but i will say that most people say ok yes it's this gold mine will bring us more than we have before. life

stumbles meaning more jobs sound cultural sporting and schooling programs all funded by the mining bus it's the price of perspire a seat that could spell on told environmental damage and the centuries of tradition driven to extinction. how this impacts our sea. to bring us up to date for them and i'll be back with. well with the summary of today's news for in about eight minutes from now the meantime we talk to the former head of russia's central bank to talk about the financial troubles piling up in both the eurozone and the us and they feel like a relatively recent phenomenon but get a shrinker says the debts been swirling around for ages and is coming home to roost that interview is coming up shortly stay with us for that on r.t. .

if it wasn't hello and thank you very much for being here you became had of the central bank when russia began pursuing its shock therapy policy following advice from american accents how would you advise your american colleagues not with the situation they are facing. to live within your means that's all that's just what they told us back then with no idea at all about our economic and social situation at the time that was in one thousand nine hundred two when we began well parts of the government began to listen to their advice after russia

joined the i.m.f. that year later they wrote and the famous stiglitz a nobel laureate and former economic advisor to clinton was among them that they were doing everything wrong what they were telling us was all wrong. if we think about the ability to leave within one's means who's better at that russia back than or today's usa. you see the u.s.s.r. was living on credit of course but it was solvent and other states were eager to give credit even the us though the latter wasn't doing it directly but through european affiliates they all knew after all that the soviet economy was under control and that the country would pay its debts sooner or later even without high oil prices that's why they were eager to give credit to the u.s.s.r. especially to finance the purchase of high tech goods to be supplied to the soviet market it has been easy for the us to take credit because of the entire system that's been built up since one thousand nine hundred five when the i.m.f.

was being set up there was a he said dispute between the u.k. and the us of course the british had to back off because their economy had been greatly damaged by the war that later led to the devaluation of the pound some years after the war in fact all of europe was living off the marshall plan back then and that consisted mostly of agricultural commodities along with some industrial plants and factories that had depleted their technological potential ones that the us didn't need anymore this in part was the reason for the america's technological leap over more recent years though with production capacities growing rapidly in the third world the share of production in america's g.d.p. has been shrinking that's how america began to live on credit and living on credit is always difficult as a time may come sooner or later when debts will have to be paid off right now nobody wants to remember that it was in the early nineties when bush and the republicans came to power that the us external state debt obtained by issuing

treasury bonds with different terms anything from one week to twenty years and the interest rates grew massively right now it has been increased still further so generally it all happened under the republican rule my question is then why all the hubbub now it's just political games nothing more. and what happens within the country if the. they reach a compromise to cut their expenses. this has no explicit connection to the situation within their country on the other hand the dollar exchange rate including cash immediately drops on the world markets and the exchange rate for securities traded around the world drops as well in spite of the fact they are issued by u.s. companies so they incur bookkeeping losses at the very least and perhaps even real financial losses to a large extent the debt was formed under the bush presidency the war in iraq and their role in the afghanistan conflict required huge military expenses and in

effect the whole world including our country has been funding those military costs their budget deficit and their balance of payments deficit and number of economists called the actions of the us financially irresponsible do you agree or is it rather a kind of game for the sake of their own interests from the viewpoint of economic theory there is a certain irresponsibility larouche a famous american economist of perhaps french or canadian origin about ten years ago said that the us economy considering its domestic and foreign economic policy is bound to face a crash like the roman empire. ratings full economic players central banks will obviously change the structure of their reserves kemas dumping of the us treasury happen and what implications can we expect to read you what else is there for them our chinese colleagues in spite of their trade surplus with the u.s. and their own willingness to revalue their currency still keep most of their phones

in dollars even though they use them actively to penetrate the development of african and asian economies to develop their infrastructure and so on. there's nowhere to go the world is a stablished in a uni polar way you can't just get out of a marriage especially when you have kids. thank you very much. wealthy british style. market why not come to. find out what's really happening to the global economy with max concert for a no holds barred look at the global financial headlines tune into a report.
