12:01 am
and a very warm welcome for all of us here in moscow this is all she would need you know thanks for joining us greece has been engulfed by angry protests as sort of the government part the most popular round of austerity measures even exchange for rescue loans a new property tax is expected to bridge a gap in the country's budget but people say they can't afford to pay for what is the protests when it's happening right in athens where you're seeing here some of the roads being blocked the phrase has been are being pushed out sometimes but you can hear the kid gas going off again we said the situation looking like he was going to escalate. things that that won't that's what we're seeing you see the huge amounts of the riot police pushing the crowds down. it's been a struggle here to get the situation under control for the first time in this country you're seeing people below the poverty like being tight they simply don't have that money and they're calling on eurozone leaders now to be real. realestate
12:02 am
the talk is certainly telling that a greek default analyst here has said to us that the really is a case of how that happens whether it's a controls to soul to soul we systems where the e.u. leaders will again play by their rules and that benefit really the greek prime minister george popping play has been having meetings in berlin he said he thought the country could get out of this crisis and we had the german chancellor saying much the same thing everyone hating the situation doesn't once again descend into violence like we've seen happen before but unfortunately that is the level of anger today amongst the greek people people we've been speaking to saying they can't afford their rent they can't afford to support their families the visa applications the greats wanting to now leave the prose has risen dramatically extremely volatile situation that then please fed up with what they see as a complete and absolute widening between what the people are asking for i will be
12:03 am
your leaders pushing for eight years elitist at the moment the still has yet to decide on whether to provide that eight billion a year a cash injection if we stay desperately needs it still but they will care for anything that because they tell you want to see greece i think here is a need briefly then everyone can leave and that really they see the set was still the end of the year is a altogether better situation at the moment really on the brink because of the grace the fight for their country does look the protesters it's guys it's not the fight the battle for tires police service policy in times square is. going to can only go faster metric affinis things and the only way out of the crisis for greece is to default on his test before it's too late. they need to default on their debt if they want the austerity measures to work because right now you have a scaredy with tax increases and a giant bat and you're not going to get anywhere and the greek economy is
12:04 am
contracting so if it continues in this way in the short term long term it just means serfdom because you have this giant debt it's not going to go away that goes for ireland and portugal and spain as well and perhaps italy but i think that the smartest thing for the e.u. and the imus to do if they really want a solution would be a structured default a greece of course a goal of ireland probably spain as well in some sort of way and to allow some of those currents this country especially greece for example for the public sector to issue dracula's again it doesn't mean that euro zone has to circulate but it would mean a kind of dual currency system and long term the you're not going to survive the reason that we're already seeing in terms of national policies overriding a pan-european policy i don't think they're going to be able to create a fiscal treasury and basically integrate europe but in the short term the e.u. may stay alive if they allow some of the other countries to begin to share their own currencies and partially default on their debts. i would like to hear your views on the crisis in greece and you can head to our website at r.t.
12:05 am
dot com if you want to take part in our latest poll and we're asking what do you think greek and e.u. leaders are discussing behind the scenes around fifteen percent percent of you think if they're debating how far the bailouts can stretch about a quarter believe they're looking at how to manage a control default and a minority believe a lie be analyzing whether greece should exit the euro zone but so far the most popular response is a rather tiny cheek while suggesting talks are focusing on how politicians can escape a lynching from angry voters so please have your say head and all to r.t. dot com and cast your vote. where they are now as they are both sides have reportedly been injured in clashes with nato troops as the violence has once again flared at the saudi across ago border it's believed allies peacekeeping forces try to dismantle a road barricade that are by said the troops say they use rubber bullets and tear gas of self-defense but it's been using ages explains live rounds were used and how distributed pictures showing x. ray images of gunshot wounds the tensions began in july when quite
12:06 am
a while authorities try to seize the checkpoints to enforce their trade embargo on this infuriated serbs who protest against it out that's how the barricades on the roads and the ghost of knowledge are said in historian and author that nato is actually only make a tense situation where the. newest and she'll be outside the bounds of it not its mandate it is not simple should be a law enforcement agency not routinely do she knew it wasn't because she sees these so-called customs paulson first and sudanese institutions shooting new people don't peacefully protesting the stream of live events very easy to improve the situation might not make worse in the first place no need to clean restrictions to pull its. child she speaks to you know to be have been deployed be creative just as well as retreated like they did back in july early august again and even comanche schoolies and you're giving this to. you all your own criminal elements and there is almost
12:07 am
criminal elements in this case. here we are she answers a kind of the program a look at western strategy for syria. what they're trying to achieve is they're really empowered it's not all west of us one so that calls for immediately you have the sanctions against them our fears are dropped from the draft resolution as russia and china go get the government and opposition to negotiate. its later but now israel says it's not going back to their self-imposed ban on building settlements in occupied palestinian territory and it's plowing ahead with construction jerusalem moves drawn strong opposition from israel's allies who say it's counterproductive to the peace process washington and london have described the discussion decision rather as disappointing and illegal while the u.s. the construction plan should be reversed but israel maintains it will keep building something the palestinians say rules out towards between the two sides an international middle east peace corps ted comprised of russia the e.u. and the u.n.
12:08 am
call for bilateral negotiations to resume within a month but and it's think it's now highly unlikely to happen. basically. israel has treated facts on the ground over the last forty four years then it really made made its occupation irreversible i mean you've got half a million this rabies more than half a million living in the occupied territories so that it's i can't possibly see how negotiations are going to end israel's occupation i don't see any pressures to get a half a million people out and i think that's what abbas is saying the glaciations are useless either you get out of our territory period or there or there's no point in going on with the process i don't think israel has anything to worry about its point of view there are three countries that matter the other hundred ninety are irrelevant the three countries of the united states britain and germany as long as
12:09 am
they're behind israel's policy toward least even if they criticize as long as they prevent saying sions and provide this umbrella for israel it's really something to worry about who's going to sentient who's going to force it to get out who's going to put pressures on israel. israel's announcement of new settlement construction comes as the u.n. security council prepares to consider the police union bid for membership at the world body on wednesday the last has promised to veto the move but russia and several other members of the council say they'll support the palestinians even in washington realize that all members should build their belief genius could still gain an elevated legal status in the un trail assembly where they have a majority now. you know without c still ahead speaking out but then being shouted down. here in america we're very proud of for freedom of speech and the right to speak is considered holy except if you see the wrong you can get in trouble
12:10 am
so american celebrities are told to keep quiet by fellow citizens for speaking their minds about sensitive issues so little details coming out. e.u. countries have dropped their call for further immediate sanctions against syria the u.n. draft resolution has been softened and now threatening sanctions only the government doesn't stop its quiet down on the opposition or that crowd down currently continues the syrian army has deployed tanks and armored vehicles to the town of ras town russia has been calling on both sides of the six month long conflict to hold talks as opposed and take it on the founder and president told a washington based freedom foundation the reeling of any western intervention would be putting down one in power. sanctions have never succeeded in achieving regime change which is what the u.s. goal is and then let's keep in mind this was a dictatorship that the u.s. government used one time to torture canadian. air are they supported
12:11 am
they support the dictatorships of saudi arabia jordan but what they're trying to achieve is to put their man in power that's the whole question of u.s. foreign policy so there's a lot of hypocrisy here too as well this is something that the syrian people should decide not to you. government it's none of the us government's business this revolution was announced or of regimes should be up to the people of that country because as we all know the price can sometimes be very high in revolutions and that's why it's up to the people of that country to make their decision. using commit terror and explanations for justifying it nor bloody interventions colonial imperative isn't so says british author and journalist simon jenkins the full interview is coming up in about twenty minutes but here's a preview. i do not believe the states. legal rights at all obligation or a duty to interfere in all those organs do it's written into the united nations charter and some other countries threaten britain didn't have its neighbors and

invaded them but it was going about his own business got a revolution it was it. sure lost of things with god's exhausted example of the world. the excuse there might have been something nasty about to happen and the justification for invading to be invading a country bombing its capital was i think quite extraordinary it's a. consequence of a return to an if you can dream countries where we have some interest in this case or that we turn to intervene where we think. glory to be how it was a case of going to iraq and clearly was the case here or there is war a responsibility because no british empire anymore. let's move on now and right now let's check some other news in brief from across the world they selfish all the same the oil prices are rising in residential areas of bani walid and sirte putting more than two hundred thousand leaders in danger
