them take events things are digital olympic disciplines for men and women so russia's men claiming gold and silver which resulted in an overall team gold medal as well while the women had much less to celebrate and settle for a team bronze with the individual discipline also winning an olympic place in the process with been opposed three zero zero zero zero zero men shoot great results which is a good ratio of what anyone has for the women you vicki a group she was outstanding as well as her teammate because you know who rusk you know fortunately feeling shoot don't beat me. overall result i think athletes should be pleased with. monday tuesday and wednesday were allocated to none of the big disciplines in the men's women's and mixed relay events the latter brought russia and other silver medal with the key and city gate got a i can win in the honors for their country the women's relay was

a failure for russia as the local trio finished in ninth place while team hungry one goal in the men's relate on gary and spruik to once again that they're one of the world's strongest teams in modern pentathlon by claiming first place on the podium will the russians finish the event off the podium it could have turned out differently as they were in the lead until the show jumping piece led by the two time olympic champion and that's when she eleven world championship winner and de molay save the home team struggled with their horses and as a result they dropped from thirst to seventh place going into the final combine discipline which involves running and shooting and near perfect performance and the range bunch of russia up from seven to fifty in the final standings while hungary south korea and ukraine one gold silver and bronze respectively response before i think we could have given a better performance here if it weren't for the relays we feel in show jumping and the shots prevented. as from fighting for a higher place in the standings if you started to last event from

a different position i think he would roll results would have been different soon so the whole world championship in modern pentathlon turned out to be if he were successful russia's a male after a while the russian women still had quite a lot of work to do on their skills after all this summer olympics in london on less than a year away from on costs are already in moscow. likely to spoil for the moment said we've got to ask us. like millions of americans i've lost thousands of dollars in retirement funds and i

influencing minutes. what you might see live from moscow a marina joshie welcome to the program the leaders of france and britain tripoli today in a show of support for the regime there warplanes helped put in power on the eve of their visit the head of the national transitional council asked for more weapons to fight pockets of colonel gadhafi loyalists still near strongholds the rebel government thinks the ousted dictator is hiding in southern libya and planning a fight back however the new authorities asserting an increasing level of control over the country for some deaths call. as for celebration but as national found out others aren't so optimistic. and months after tripoli fell into rebels hands those who backed the old regime remain defiant which fearful in parts of the city

the rebels triumphant campaign feels like it's never happened all did so somewhere else. that we will do anything for mamma i mean why even if we keep our life without seven support for the ousted leader to solve once they see our camera then people. like the one with how we're going to be how could you tell the camera why. it's the same situation with others two. hundred percent good we don't want this revolution we don't know the rebels we want them to go away. we are from television so we're going to tell the camera no no way it's right there you go on the camera they will send the food to my room all the criminals you don't know them you call them the rebels hey guys do you remember about the black guy he was arrested a few days ago after your appeared on t.v.

don't do that. you flags new slogans you speeches. the rebels who are out celebrate and again this week when the head of the national transitional council libya's new authority arrives in the capital before a large crowds even libyans in no doubt about who is really here. those who don't support mr far those only you and who we used to see all across the city proudly waving green flags just weeks ago back in khadafi now trying not to leave their own backyards here there yeah. with. that's. tough it is effectively gone when you all thought it had to settle down here in the capital tripoli people are chanting that is you free country but it seems that

there is at least one thing that still remains of all the beer fear one youngster finally agrees to talk about tripoli is now on the control of the national transitional council and we don't feel we have freedom to talk or to express an opinion who says something in favor of gadhafi who can kill us and the rest of us of course money are enough for him. the nineteen year old says many of his friends have been arrested recently for making critical statements about your regime ironically we're talking just a kilometer away from one of the dock is top secret jails for political prisoners known as abu salim though that may be the rebels they only represent themselves not the libyan people this revolution started with killings to intimidate through fear their hands are covered in blogs amnesty international has recently accused both darpa's regime and the one which replaced it of committing war crimes including

killings and torture of military prisoners and civilians these are being felt by some here that more is in store roof notion r.t. tripoli libya. the rebel government in the bia has a hard job i had was analysts warning that freedom and peace are a long way off london based middle east political analyst dan glazebrook told r.t. that with a new libyan leadership africa may face backhoes of its colonial past it a real fear of the west is the africa unites and is able to break free from this colonial grip that has been in the hundreds of years and who was leading force behind unite you know it was libya under gadhafi has ruled so nato want to go home and that will disunite africa that will rule north africa away and the southern neighbors so it's very important for nato but the government is a racist one it will not continue with this libyan project if you nineteen or so

there is no mistake if they start as you've been characterized by race is going on this is. there a way north and south in a. more opinions first hand reports on the timeline of the libyan revolution just one click away at r.t. dot com and for the latest updates on this story checking our tower a twitter feed and facebook profile. is. the leaders of france and germany have declared that greece's future alliance with

the euro their comments come as the second bailout for athens considered to be its last chance to avoid a disastrous default writings in the balance. missed deadlines and a full scale recession have left little patience for greece among its neighbors and they are now threatening to stop bailout payments for the embattled economy economists are also pessimistic and calls for athens to drop out of the euro zone are building and as a comic analyst imagery coffee tea the future of greece is far from secure and carries potentially grave consequences for the global financial system. we're hearing a lot more rumors about a fault which is frightening but i think the most likely scenario is that. again kick the can down the road france and merkel have been saying that france germany and angela merkel how did and how about how they want to wait until at least twenty thirteen when the european stability. mechanism is in place so they have some sort of institutional framework to go with with the bailout so i think that eventually

greece will default but i think that it's not going to happen on a couple something they're not addressing they're not creating a scenario where greece or greeks can say ok in five years and seven years whatever we have a viable plan to exit this this large burden and go back into growth because right now that we commonly is in a collapse mode so there's no way they can service this that a lot of the american banks were on the other side of these derivatives deals so they were ensuring that there was on the books the books of european banks so that in the event of the fall the european banks would yeah they would they would lose out on their bonds but then they would go to the american bank and say give us the money because when you wrote the insurance so the u.s. banks would be on the hook no one really knows and again that's the problem with the banking system there's a lot of uncertainty about counterparty risk the global financial problem is something that's spoken about before there's a problem with the global financial system and there are different philosophies as to how to address the us went off of bretton woods and facilitated environment where you could run these chronic current account deficits because it was it's an

empire that has the imperial currency so yeah in that sense the centrifuge has been here and that's where the real financialization has kind of expanded. the debt crisis that brought to you or to its knees began exactly three years ago wendy i think of all happened america's fourth biggest bank lehman brothers declared bankruptcy igniting a worldwide economic crisis that's still raging today that have the lessons of that day really been learned. lehman brothers has filed for bankruptcy stocks all around the world are tanking because of the crisis on wall street the more things change the more they stay the same how will lehman's bankruptcy filing really change the landscape of the entire banking industry in two thousand and eight wall street's bad bets and risky speculation led to the collapse of america's housing market and a financial crisis around the globe today banks have grown more powerful and profitable while the threat of a double dip recession has deepened if part of the problem was too big to fail and

of part of the problem was high dependence on the financial sector if you fast forward three years we have even bigger financial institutions which were at least equal even so the structural problems are probably worse and certainly not a whole lot better washington seed wall street with nearly one trillion dollars in government bailouts yet it has three years critics say that washington has failed to effectively regulate wall street the financial industry can still trade debt and that the same way it did thirty six months ago is still the same the only difference is right now what they are worse is because these has been trillions of dollars worth. of the subsidies that were really in a worse position than we were before it is what. america's great recession has chipped away at the middle class exacerbated when listeners and resulted in at least fourteen million unemployed citizens. just last month zero jobs not

one was created meantime wall street executives broke records last year pulling in one hundred forty nine billion dollars in pay in compensation according to analysts the u.s. is approaching its highest level of inequality since world war one if you're not in the top ten or twenty percent you're significantly poor than you were in two thousand and eight. i mean two thousand and eight you were making one fifty this much money as the wealthiest people in the united states we've seen you know corporate profits made profits record breaking profits in some cases three years after the crisis and why is that they're taking the risks with investor you know investors' money depositors' money that they were taking before and why because they know they'll be bailed out if there's a problem in two thousand and eight u.s. credit agencies failed to forecast the problem reading lehman as

a secure investment just one week before its historic bankruptcy very little has changed with their business model probably the only thing that really has changed is that there's once more skepticism towards them the collapse of lehman brothers ignited a perfect storm of economic distress and fear around the world yet three years later problems that caused the crisis remain unsolved many economists are predicting that this needs another economic collapse isn't just probable it's inevitable. we're not artsy. as a worldly worse to avoid drag a double dip recession things are looking much broader on wall street the construction of an underwater cable between new york and london will speed up market trades by some six million seconds that calculates to roughly one hundred million dollars more in annual profits for big investors and that's not sitting well with parties financial guru max kaiser. is because it's trading in this three hundred million pound project i mean high frequency trading is looting ok now this

is what i don't understand why david cameron in the u.k. he castigates the looters and the rioters but all they're doing is any late in j.p. morgan bankers they're looting this is a high frequency trading looting and they're getting the government they're getting these people who are looting you know sticks of juicy fruit gum on the street because they're having their money stolen to pay for high frequency trading looting of course they're going to be looting of course you invited this into your own homes. because you support looters at the banks in the city of london because david cameron lives alluding he is in fact a terrorist as well they say that not to be glib i say that as a political act camera and all board are terrorist or financial terrorists. and you catch the full report at zero thirty g.m.t. here on r t tensions are increasing in cost of authorities and of serbian breakaway region are planning a new tam to take over two border crossings in the serb dominated north previous

attempt in july resulted in clashes in which a policeman was killed serbia has called for an emergency security council meeting to prevent a possible repeat of large scale unrest kosmos prime minister has responded by husing serbs of thought and violence in the region russia's representative to the un told her t.v. international forces in the region seem to be taking sides and that isn't helping the balance of the situation the full interview with the title is coming up next hour but here's a preview. intention was announced by the people so we'll bring in a sort of as and pushed and basically to tell you all who are not on the course of will by force citing will some sort of enjoyment because them's situation of the administrative border between serbia proper the province of course what potentially it may create clashes and crisis the another very disturbing element of the situation is that the international presence has which are there in order to preserve peace they seem to be cooperating with pretty dangerous plan of course

will be you know sort of this so we hope that this meeting is going to take place in order to prevent those dramatic and dangerous development soon course of the book to me this will be a reality check on whether indeed the security council we do not have nations that are interested in preventing disputes and peaceful mediation. ideal to deploy an american rated system in eastern turkey has been agreed by the two countries as part of nato backed missile defense plans and comes just a day after washington struck a similar agreements with remain under way to intercept their missiles and a worry hundred military personnel will be based on remaining in soil the u.s. says the controversial plans are designed to the fan you are up against the possibility of a tap from states like iran or north korea but bruce k'naan from the global network danced weapons and nuclear power in space always that's not what they are and shield is really about. us is using nato and nato expansion as the i

think the poor to care or to draw in other countries like turkey and romania and you can feel like you're going to be taken care of by your union. but clearly we're talking about here is major tensions. between the united states missile defense deployments that are now going into poland radio turkey and other countries in the coming years as well as nato expansion throughout the region we're still you basically in sort of russia at the same time the us is there the same thing with china with its pieces in this with the first appointments in japan south korea okinawa. the us is the point patriot missile systems are why and so this is clearly about trying to control and we can see in both russia and china. now let's take a look at some other stories from around the world the palestinian president mahmoud abbas vowed not to retreat from plans to push for statehood at the u.n.

next week that's despite reports that the palestinian leadership has decided to water down their application senior u.s. and international envoys are in the region trying to revive peace talks with israel and make the palestinians drop their plan. around six thousand students joined a march for free education in chile's capital but george. although police did resort to tear gas and water cannons against some demonstrators and you're out of governmental talks to resolve the issue are continuing thousands of students have been skipping classes for months to show their discontent at the risk of losing scholarships. the commander of the twenty eighth expedition to the international space station has handed the station over to his successor mike fossum the leader of expedition twenty nine praised his colleagues leadership saying he perfectly overcame every challenge we faced. and their mission

and head back to earth on friday. well sometimes you have to leave russia if you want to get to know it better this week a special series of r.t.s. russia close up reports come from outside the country from norway's spitzbergen archipelago russia own about a third of the territory having developed a remote coal mining community there during the soviet period when there and found out following the collapse of the u.s.s.r. areas actually become more important for russia. a cluster of violence between big devil and the deep blue sea could be used to sardis peter bergen archipelago was a lot like puerto rico for the u.s. not entirely its own yet not food for in a form of pools between north america and western europe and as many hold a future base for the russian advance in the arctic. just a few words about this morning men and women in their lives of course oh yeah of

course all of. the most western tourists this morning meant is a testament to the daily soviet invasion the town of barons to work once a flourishing mining community is in a series the. good behind this appealing facade one can also see a freshly painted writing on the wall that russians under cleaving in fact their back. it's a russian birthright to be. the second summer in a row the coffer span going on ch pittsburgh and decorating its kindergarten give the picture of russia as an arc is not to project an image of an unshakable state emerging from dire straits of history in a time that still experiences difficulties with running water and electricity this choice of priorities would have been questionable if it wasn't geo politically timely because. there was a time when the soviet union was feared and respected you can't turn back time that

russia should also position itself as a strong state. people who visit should feel like they've still russian soil. technically that's already the case russian settlements and space bergen have greener grass because of the several loads of black soil that was brought here from siberia in soviet times illegally this territory belongs to norway and nine hundred twenty agreement guarantees its signature is the right to conduct industrial activity on the archipelago an option fully utilized only by moscow that for decades has been mining coal here. coal produced here has always been pretty expansive but back in soviet times it was not an issue of economics but rather politics moscow needed to maintain its mining base here it is bergen at any cost but now production volumes have going to build just a fraction of what they used to be but one thing i mean russian presence here is still considered

a matter of strategic importance the subject matters die hard the mines equipment hasn't changed much in the last fifty years while they ask the composition of their workforce what makes of you their feel solvent nostalgia about this image of yes i'm twenty seven years old so i don't have clear memories of the soviet union but i just assume that spirit is very well preserved here with people here from you cream go through central asia and we all feel like citizens of one country ironically the attitude toward the mines profitability is not so inherently soviet it's been a loss making venture for decades increasing its efficiency is politically inconvenient. because coal money is what allows russia to be a president's speech a profitable we needed my three times as much calls we do now but since posits are finite. meanwhile russia has notably increased funding of scientific expedition spitzbergen and in africa to explore the article.
