all of us here in moscow this is our see with. thanks for joining us and we started in greece it has been engulfed by angry protests after the government passed the most unpopular round of austerity measures yet in 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 off the center of the protest on a turbulent night in athens. well you sing his summarizing love the protest of being pushed out i'll sometimes spare you can head to take gas going off again we said the situation looking like he was going to escalate alice things of that will that's what we're seeing we've seen a huge amount of the rightly pushing the crowds. 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 line being taxed they simply don't have that money and the cooling on eurozone leaders now to be realistic the talk is
1:02 am
certainly turning to that as a greek default analysts here have said to us at the really is a case of how that happens whether it's a controls to soldiers on greece's turns over the e.u. leaders will again play by their rules and for that benefit really that the greek prime minister chose pop and jay has been having meetings in berlin he said he told the country to get out of this crisis and we had the german chancellor saying much the same thing everyone hyping that 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 greeks wanting to leave approach has risen dramatically extremely volatile situation that simply fed up with what they see as a complete and utter widening between what the people are asking for a lot of the leaders and pushing for a year is
1:03 am
a leaders at the moment still has yet to decide on whether to provide that eight billion a year a cash injection to greece they desperately needs and still that the financial aid they will be everything that because they don't want to see greece i think here is a briefly then everyone can leave and that really well may save lisette will spell the end. they didn't really bring the green lights of that country the pretense that it's not like that but it's disease. was. to go and it can all make a demetri casinos things that the only way out of the crisis for greece is to default on its debts 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 austerity with tax increases and a giant that you're not going to get anywhere and the greek economy is contracting
1:04 am
so if it if it continues in this way in the short term long term it just means. because you have this giant debt that'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 honest to do if they really want a solution would be a structured default of greece of portugal of ireland probably spain as well in some sort of way and to allow some of those currents of the country especially greece for example for the public sector to issue drachmas again it doesn't mean that eurozone have to circulate but it would mean the kind of currency system in long term the euro is not going to survive for reasons that we're already seeing in terms of national policies overriding pan european policy i don't think they're going to be able to create a fiscal treasury and fiscal union great europe but in the short term the e.u. may stay alive if they allow some of the other countries to begin to issue their own currencies and partially default on their debts. and of course i'd like to hear you he's on the crisis in greece he's going to head to our website that's our call
1:05 am
that he want to take part in our latest poll and we're asking you what do you playing greed and leaders are discussing behind the scenes and around fifteen percent of you think they might be analyzing whether greece should exit the euro about a quarter believe they're looking at how to manage a control default and a minority believe that debating i have thought a bailout is can stretch but so far the most popular response is a rather tongue in cheek one suggesting that talks are focusing on how politicians can escape a link chain from going to voters so please have your say had a lot to offer to dot com and cast your vote. let's move on now several servers have reportedly been injured in clashes with nato troops as violence has once again flared at these so they are kosovo border is believed alliance peacekeeping forces trying to dismantle a road barricades that had by serbs the troops say the use of rubber bullets gas and self-defense but it said the news agency claims that live rounds were used and has distributed pictures showing x. ray images of gunshot wounds the tensions began in july when coastline authorities
1:06 am
tried to seize the checkpoints to enforce their unilateral trade embargo they said and who protested against it and that's how the barricades on the roads and the voice of knowledge then historian author says that nato has actions will only make a tense situation was. needed and she'll be outside the bounds of it might be its mandate it is not supposed to be a law enforcement agency routine government to push you know it is it wasn't supposed to see these so-called customs posts in the first place and it certainly isn't super glue should be shooting you don't peacefully protesting the turn of events it's very easy to improve the situation by not making it worse in the first explain not deploying these troops in support of. chachi street state oh no to be had been deployed they could have just as well as retreated like they did back in july and august again needed comancheros to escalate and they're giving us distribute and order and criminal elements and therefore most criminal elements in
1:07 am
this case. you know without going to come in the program a look at the western strategy for syria. what they're trying to achieve is to put their man in power that's the whole quest of u.s. foreign policy that calls for immediate u.s. sanctions against damascus that trump from the draft resolution as russia and china call for the government and opposition to negotiate. israel says it's now going back to this self-imposed bind on building settlements on occupied palestinian territory and its bloody head with construction east jerusalem the move strong strong opposition from israel's allies who say it's counterproductive to the peace process as washington and london have described the decision as a disappointing and illegal while the construction plans should be revised but israel maintains that all key building something to palestinians say rules out towards when the two sides the international middle east peace cortez comprised of russia and the u.s. the u. and the u.n.
1:08 am
called for a bilateral negotiations within a month but i'm just saying that now it's kind of likely to happen. basically. israel has created facts on the ground over the last forty four years that is really made made its occupation irreversible i mean you've got half a million israelis more than half a million living in the occupied territories so that it's i can't possibly see how we go she are going to end israel's occupation i don't see any pressure just to get a half a million people out and i think that's what abbas is a big issue asians are used either you get out of our. period or there or there's no point in going on with the process i don't think israel has anything to worry about from its point of view there are three countries that matter the other hundred ninety. three countries of the united states. as long as they're
1:09 am
behind israel's policy or least even if they criticize. as long as they prevent saying it's. wrong for israel is yours i think you were saying he's going to force you to get out let's get a good brochures on israel. israel's announcement of new settlement construction comes as the u.n. security council prepares to consider the palestinian bid for membership at the world body on wednesday the you asked has promised to veto the move but russia and several other members of the council say they'll support the palestinians even if washington lost as all members should be palestinians could still gain an elevated legal status in the u.n. general assembly where they have a majority of support. now you're with c.n.n. 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 this is considered a holy except if you see the wrong you can get in trouble american celebrities are told to keep quiet by fellow citizens for speaking their minds about sensitive
1:10 am
issues so we've got the details coming out of the. e.u. countries have called 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 crying down on the opposition but the crime down currently continues the syrian army has deployed tongues and all my vehicles to the town of russia has been calling on both sides in the six month long conflict to hold talks that oppose sanctions hornberger founder and president of the washington based p.h.o. freedom foundation says the real aim of any western intervention will be putting them on 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 that this was a dictatorship that the us government used at one time to torture canadian citizen name a our air are they supported we barracked they support the dictatorships in saudi
1:11 am
arabia jordan but what they're trying to achieve is to put their man in power that's the whole quest of us foreign policy so there's a lot of hypocrisy here too as well this is something that the syrian people should decide not the u.s. government it's none of the u.s. government's business this revolution's 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 that decision. using humanitarian explanations for justifying it more bloody interventions as colonial imperiling so says british author and journalist simon jenkins the full interview is coming up in just over an hour's time but here's a preview for you. i do not believe the sovereign states. legal rights or an obligation or a duty to interfere in other sovereign states is written into the united nations charter this is not a country that threaten britain didn't threaten any of its neighbors and invaded
1:12 am
and. is going about its own business which is not a revolution it was. i'm sure last a days with random bengazi nasty things happen all over the world. the excuse that there might have been something nasty about to happen the justification for invading turkey invading a country bombing its capital is i find quite extraordinary it's a noble concept. we tend to really be interested in countries where we have some interest in the state or we tend to intervene where we think almost quit glory to be had as was the case of iraq and was the case well i know it is not my responsibility there is no british empire anymore. let's not check some other news in brief from across the world later officials say no it's fine says are hiding in residential areas of bani walid and sirte putting more than two hundred thousand libyans in danger from allied air strikes and the time and take it out before says severe food water and power shortages have also
