anger at austerity plan spills into the streets of italy and spain with their governments preparing to tighten belts even further to calm the markets and save the faltering europe. at least nine people killed fifty injured in a blast of the high court in new delhi india the women are just explosives were left in a suitcase near the building. the. calls for independence from the u.k. grow louder in wales where high nationalist sentiment is coupled with a desire to have control over its own economy. and the many so now at the third annual global policy forum here you're a small boy were today's focus is security and multiculturalism join me later in the program for more details.

eleven am in moscow i match reza good to have you with us here on r t our top story hundreds of thousands of people in italy have protested the government's fresh austerity measures announced tuesday in a bid to tackle the country's debt crisis the forty five billion euro package welcomed by the e.u. includes among other things new tax hikes and raising the retirement age for women a number of violent scuffles between demonstrators and police were reported underlining social tensions in the country struggling to avert financial collapse as finance experts five yo to mass he tells r t italy's troubles aren't going unnoticed elsewhere in the eurozone. i think of the north you have. from the financial markets and certainly you have two parents rich people if you want to bring the whole thought of going on like this won't work. if. you're

through prisms. but it will be the biggest economy in the euro zone there would certainly be the current crisis of the eurozone as an offspring of the economic crisis which has been caused by the financial markets by the banks and what the government is trying to guth they try to make the majority of the people pay the bill of the price of the new for not work and you can't run an economy against a majority of the population and we saw the consequence of greece and so i believe even germany and france will have a few problems than in europe future protests have also swept across spain ahead of a crucial vote by its senate on amending the constitution to limit national debt is follows the parliament bowing to you pressure ended up being the initiative last week but unions and rights groups say the debt cap would decimate the country's welfare system and hurt the most vulnerable writer and journalist miguel believes

that it's the markets that should be made responsible for spain's current predicament not its people. the markets are not rational they are driven usually by fear sometimes by greed. they just think they feel that spain could be like greece or like portugal because. country within the euro so so they tend to lump together countries that are very different but they resemble each other because they are part of that very free and i think that's the that's the real recently sets a psychological perception and then again it's true that the growth in spain economic growth peace not very good so that in the long will be a problem for there we don't have a debt problem now but we may have it in the future that is true. with the financial turmoil raging across europe calls are growing for the worst hit economies to abandon the euro and return to their old national currencies but

german economic analyst michelle ross tells our team the only solution to the crisis is if the strong economies leave the eurozone there's no other solution that the weak countries but a strong country has to exit if germany for it for example pulls out of the whole problem with the thought of it means that we will have then a stronger currency germany can live with it the others then will have a devaluated currency this is exactly what they need the queen's all saw that the debts will be devalued this is that what they mean and this is what i mean need and so the situation is why is it worth not the weak ones have to pull out but the germans have to pull out one country that hasn't been hit by the crisis yet switzerland has stunned the currency markets the country central bank devalued the swiss franc by pegging it to the embattled euro in an effort to stop deflation and protect exports and promote tourism us economist paul craig roberts tells r.t.

that by doing this switzerland's deprive the world of the last safe haven currency which the swiss franc eliminated as a safe haven because the goal was to not. only use gold the only safe haven. to reserve currency is themselves or in question here of the two main currents in the euro and both are in a situation where the world is losing confidence. and so nobody has come. in the reserve currency so what happens to them an actual monetary system so people street looking for a safe haven. have to continue to rounds. europe's economic woes also being felt in the u.k. driving some parts of the country to crave more control over their finances. one stock can be canceled japan intent the next logical step it's

a way to speak timings of plans and to separate as sentiment intensifies across the u.k. as we reveal later in the program. first though certain security chief of ousted libyan leader colonel gaddafi has fled the country and is now in neighboring the share according to officials there cannot be wasn't said to be part of the convoy that crossed the border tuesday robert enough aso denies claims that it's ready to provide asylum before the start of the anti could i feel campaign the u.s. cia and britain's m i six were allegedly sending terror suspects to libya for interrogation and alleged torture they claim is based on diplomatic documents recently found in libya have sparked outrage but anti-war activists don de bar says u.s. intelligence will find a way to spin this story. the u.s. cia is very skilled at this information and it's interesting here because the attempt is to play this in front of arab audiences to show me as being

the u.s. ally even though the forces fighting it i feel have had a coordinated six month bombing attack with nato and the u.s. on their side but this is playing to arab nationalists so that the n.c.c. can be seen as some sort of anti imperialist crimes when in fact they are agents of u.s. imperialism well they should be looked at in the context of the rock roche law that was a temporary one as it turns out where libya's sensually tried to get itself off the sanctions that they suffered for a decade or so and to be allowed to trade in the international community the cost was very high i guess that shows that collaboration with the united states does not guarantee that you'll be able to continue with. our party's website continues following the fate of almost twenty ukrainian citizens who remain in custody in libya as rebels suspect them of being procrit off the snipers earlier the russian embassy was able to negotiate the release of two russians any ukrainian couple they

say the group who are oil engineers and cooks who have nothing to do with the military click on r.t. dot com for the full story. staying in the region activists in syria say government forces have used armored vehicles in the b. siege city of homs is the u.n. is calling for more pressure to be put on president assad but professor edmund ghareeb an international relations expert says sanctions won't necessarily bring down the regime but they may made ordinary people suffer. but in any case what happened whatever happens the sanctions are clearly a. instrument that does not discriminate between the regime and the people and what may end up happening is the people who probably are going to have the price. specially if we take a look at what happened in iraq or what happened with. the experiment with a very good example of this where some of the harshest sanctions ever imposed on

the only country in the history want to impose on iraq and despite. did not succeed in bringing that regime down and they have. a rocky probably would cheer was heard severely as a result of the sanctions so this is. i think is going for there's a lot of questions especially some of them political some of the economic and some of course. the already imposed sanctions on oil imports imports from syria on our website we're asking you what is the true aim of this so far fourteen percent think that president assad is the target seven percent say the real aim is to lure a liberal voters in the e.u. countries all of a third argue the e.u. wants to please the u.s. about half of those who've taken part say the sanctions hit ordinary syrians provoke war protests. and have your say. so if you're a russian the city of the novel is turning into a global think tank this week with

a third global policy forum inviting the best minds to come up with solutions to some of the world stickiest problems you see here it's multiculturalism among the main focal points a concept that recently got severe blows across europe global security also on the table with debates on syria and libya and the question of how to keep the region safe after nato withdraws from afghanistan parties and he said now weighs in the she joins us live with all the latest hello nice and so issues ranging from security to multiculturalism being bad. and heard about one of the ideas that are being heard. well they're going to be a lot of different ideas put on the table and some pretty intense debates are expected up this urge to quote will policy forum here and here it's awful today a lot of focus yes on multiculturalism but mostly on security and when we talk about security these days of course libya and syria and the entire spring our pop rising is going to come up and there are many different views on how libya was handled and on how to deal with libya post taffy's so that's going to be something

that these experts and analysis are going to be talking about also the situation in afghanistan what happens when you ask nato forces withdraw in that twenty fourteen very important for the region of course for russia and its partners in the collective security treaty organization which is an alliance that focuses on security in the central asian region to discuss more about what really will be on the table in more detail joining me now is counter to terrorists who is a professor of political science at crossing university and counting the thank you very much for being with us. as you see i know we're just getting started here this is going to be a lot of debate and discussion but do you think are going to be the most highlighted issues. to me if these three areas which are important in the middle of the two cut and situation one is the issue of would you call church where that is dead or is. even dead why you fly eve does this

a life walk how we can manage this will make nation that will of people who would like this put it to come true to our shores the second he's the polls security how to maintain security they would which is very shocked if they get into bed. and the should ease. and a bit of the should come. do believe in them or. just. society with must see for the allocation of resources the three debates will highlight today's thought i'd like to i speak a little more specifically about multiculturalism what you think the exact issues are going to be on the table obviously there's a lot of critics this think it's just not working especially in europe how do you

see it. that is the that is de ysu i believe will be dominating today's debate whether or not to mark the cultural issues that utopias say definitely yes and that's what we heard even today from the introductory remarks from my perspective this position is very much for the call to culture is very much about so this would be. the axis of today's discussion where they don't know minorities. believe and be empowered to become members as full members of the society or they would be marginalized and they would be leaving for david on the on the social welfare as we see in the euro so there are different modes of society one this morning who is if in which they might notice this becoming part of a bit citizenry. or there is another mode that the european model that we keep may

note it is called social welfare and then we are very much surprised that they and you can i think all the time so we are having a debate on the principles of how to structure the seducer sick and what would be that all of the stake in such a situation and then the competitive aspect of russian experience is very important for the west of society just like say about that war how can ross out from its own experience with immigration. with multi-culturalism help the last. immigration may have summed up because russia has no clue to mediation course in this says we can look to them too much. from the existence of the mood to the mood to confession those societies in russia we can then tremendously you have almost twenty million must use. a public such is not that's the concern is leaving can the bit about

thirty countries like france germany but if the new canada. we would like to live a much more abode the way you are incorporating different religious. jews into the into the main three business i hate counter-terrorist professor of political science from crossing university kind of thank you very much for your analysis that this serious problem policy for marty is here throughout the day bringing you the latest as leaders experts and analysis discuss the world's most pressing issues are these and these are now i live for us in thanks for that report. blast has rocked the indian capital new delhi killing nine and injuring at least fifty outside the city's high court the latest on that we've all live to our correspondent previously to standing by in the indian capital so korea what do we know now at this early stage in the attacks. hi there matt that's correct nine people are dead around forty five to fifty people

are injured the home minister actually just had an emergency meeting with the top officials here in india and he's actually giving a statement right now as we speak he did say that today's the task was in fact a terror attack he doesn't know what's going to hold responsible for it just yet the attack took place at ten fifteen this morning about fifteen minutes before the court proceedings there began and experts are saying the police are saying that this was a high intensity attack that it was a strategic plan to attack there was a bomb that was found in a suitcase near the parking lot of that building and people are saying that it would take some high level expertise to actually put that gone together this obviously isn't the first time that india has experienced a terror attack actually this same exact building was the target of an attack back in may of this year so so obviously nothing new here the area has been evacuated

are there our investigators that are at the scene that are trying to figure out exactly what happened there and actually also looking for other explosives that could possibly be in that area obviously also just last month we had attacks in mumbai there was three coordinated attacks that actually killed twenty six people and injured about one hundred thirty others in the whole ministry in that incident also is that it was a terrorist attack. that that attack happened in mumbai which is india's financial capital and also the largest city in this country i have been hit by at least half a dozen terrorist attacks since nine hundred ninety obviously the biggest of those attacks happened back in two thousand and eight those were a series of ten coordinated attacks and shootings in that in those attacks there was actually the pocket study i.s.i. or their biggest intelligence service that was found response in. well for those attacks there is one man who is in custody for those attacks and he said that he

actually wanted to recreate what happened in the united states in our nine eleven here in india for the attacks that happened last month the indian mujahideen was actually held responsible that group is made up. of muslim students that are within this country many of them who are actually trained in kashmir so obviously as i said we don't know who took hold responsible for today's attacks but there's been a lot of speculation that perhaps it could be the pakistani i.s.i. or the indian mujahideen again so while people are sort of up hoping for the best they are also fearing the worst man all right thanks very much stay on top of the story for us artie's proofreader live in new delhi with the latest we'll be checking in with you later. right stay with us here on earth you will be staying with that story throughout the day. hope for

a better country but not as part of the united kingdom there's a strong sense of national identity in wales which is how to achieve independence following some more holes for the north and those are his or amid reports the debate continues to rage over whether welfare missions are economic sense or emotional question recovery welcome to wales part of the u.k. and a proud nation with its own language and customs and the latest voice to call for independence plied comrie which means the party of wales has always argued the country could be better off without the u.k. and it seems increasing numbers are starting to see their point of view i would economy has been run from and with interest and priorities of the south east of england to the fore and independent wheels of course would be able to chart a different course based on needs and priorities wales is a long way from declaring independence but it's no longer just

a pipe dream people here voted overwhelmingly earlier this year in favor of handing the welsh assembly full nor making powers that was considered a turning point in welsh nationhood and plights couldn't read the party of wales have undoubtedly taken heart from the surprise victory of the scottish national party that victory in may gave the s.n.p. an outright majority in the scottish parliament which has many powers devolved from westminster the party's promise to hold a scotland wide referendum on whether to declare independence according to applied comrie that marks the turning of the tide for a unified u.k. peeping lou i believe that beginning to to use the word independence in in a welsh context which they say they wouldn't of jennifer. and i started bt valid so i think the people in my ears are going to see that that's when stockland becomes independent the next logical step is for we're to speak out. bangs into of course

separatism is nothing new to the british isles and the thousands of victims of the troubles in northern ireland are testament to how high feelings can run both in the present day and for centuries past while national sentiment may not be a new phenomena and the reasons for it have changed over the years and in these current turbulent economic times money talks scotland has oil and gas but while wales was a proud coal producing nation its mines are now closed and it's got some of the highest unemployment levels in the u.k. because of that the older generation is reserved when it comes to independence but young people are filled with national fervor for them independence is less about money and more about nationhood and identity and wales needs to be independent because it is a great country and we do we do in it like an ageing is really patriotic i think

more patriotic than england and i think we have a lot of. it we should get to seem to be up to here at the moment you can get free prescriptions. education seems to be a bit better applied comrie says it's going to build on that support providing not just emotional reasons why wales should be independent but concrete economic reasons too and it says wales does have resources particularly land and sea for green energy if the scots vote for independence wales might not be far behind your emmett's r.t. because if so it will acknowledge some other stories making headlines across the globe a trial that i was to egypt and president hosni mubarak over the killing of protesters in february second resume in cairo hearing will be held off camera annoyed previous sessions one day the court adjourned the trial after hearing as host of morning of several witnesses before the session stuff broke out between pro and anti mubarak protesters outside the court we. even ten people injured. british lawmakers
