5:04 am
a vision for russia and i think that whether it's the u.s. or russia or any other country when you have a leader who has a vision and the strength of the people can see that's the that's the individual they want in office it's made it certainly have their work cut out for them what they need to do now is convince the rest of the people that it's their tandem that will take the process through the next decade i move past stability for their development well a lot of your putin widely expected to take over the kremlin again next year he will become the first russian president to serve a six year term but analysts say a lot of his hands full reform in the country if you want to stay the top man for years to come. pushing came out with their make major slogan stability now it's not time we still need to preserve stability but we mourn it and invasion something with that impulse coming out with it so it will depend on how fortunate. able to push for innovation marginalization of the same time through that instability because now it's a rather difficult time all over the world with the continuing crisis in the euro

5:10 am
investments and savings have provoked this crisis at this point most western countries are not ready to reduce their consumption and preserve the pre-crisis development passion this does not let the merits from crisis and their consumption is not substantiated with real economic results as consumption is pulling them into debt so western countries have this issue and they're trying to resolve it by printing money which only delays the solution we can care for dick from the economic point of view if this printing of money and supporting an artificial demand will help kick start the engine of the western economy so far this has not yet happened after all what the federal reserve system has done and now we can see the situation is becoming worse as those measures have not been enough and one cannot expect the printing of money to resume. all the latest coverage of the turbulent financial situation around the world can be found at our web site r t v dot com here's what's also

approval of israel pro palestinian activists nor oday questions why israel would want peace with a state it comfortably occupied for a long time. as palestinians we have a very high concern of national pride at this moment that even though we know the veto is most likely coming out of the next week or the other it really makes no difference but there is a very high sense of national at cheve meant at this point because for one south korea those very disappointing years of the so-called peace process the political leadership and the popular popular public opinion are in line there in an on one side of the political debate if you will going back to negotiations is not something palestinians are posed on principle but if we go back to negotiations with occupiers and that's what israel is without any terms of reference without israel police early committing to international law clearly committing to its

obligations according to international law and relevant un resolutions then it's purely pointless press president obama struggles to contain fallout from the palestinian bid new reports of emerge that he secretly approve the transfer of fifty five high tech bunker buster bombs to israel to deal allegedly happened only months into his first term in office something about the bush administration had rejected fearing israel would sell the technology to china but according to author and historian william blair for obama it's more about campaign fund it. well the u.s. has been giving is we are all amount of obama's her decades and decades this is nothing new it's not based on luck you have i mean if you asked a rational explanation that is not what he is crow israel because of money he gets the us his election campaign yes unfortunately we do a lot of these and you individuals that's why motivates them and the only rationale he has to have to be

a logical. consistency in the u.k. government has granted police the power to prevent far right groups from marching through several parts of london for thirty dates scotland yard says it applied for the ban over fears of violence and disorder planned by the english defense league earlier this month but as archie's lore and it reports it's prompted concerns that a dangerous precedent has been set in terms of police authority and freedom of expression. the view of workers activists on the home office ban on marching is clear it's an attack on the basic democratic rights in this country through september in six areas of london anyone marching like these people did last winter is liable to be arrested and fined or even imprisoned. the ban was prompted by plans by the anti muslim english defense league team here in luton in february to march through tower hamlets the area with the highest concentration

5:17 am
you've got to be able to march to make a statement as the unions did in march when more than a quarter of a million people turned out to protest because activists say that's exactly what the government's trying to stop just in terms of where we are at the moment in this country with the process of a stereotypic pushed through by the government trade unions are one of the major blocks opposed to that public order the reps lieschen does tend to be used to come striking workers something that's very clear those to there's been some recent examples of people being told of the picket lines and not to obviously we can see any resistance to the cuts freedom of expression and association in shrine did u.k. and european law with the u.k. renowned for its powerful union organizations but the ban gives police the ultimate power to step in and arrest demonstrators merely for exercising their right to speak out against the government and that's a dangerous precedent to set no rabbit r.t.
