ocular round of austerity measures yet in exchange for a new round of 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 archie sarraf earthwatch the protests on a turbulent night in athens. well using his summer is being blocked the protesters are being pushed out of syntagma square you can head to take asked going off again we said the situation looking like he was going to escalate and it seems that that will that's what we're seeing we've seen a huge amount of the riot police pushing the crowd sound. 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 they're calling on eurozone leaders now to be realistic the talk is certainly turning to that a greek default analyst here has said to us the really is a case of how that happens whether it's

a controls to soul to soul greece's turns over the e.u. leaders will again play by their rules and that benefit really that the greek prime minister george patton jay 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 hoping 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 now leave the pros has risen dramatically extremely volatile situation there simply fed up with what they see as a complete and utter widening between what the people are asking for and will be leaders and pushing through the years they need it at the moment still as yet to decide on whether to provide that eight billion a year

a cash injection to greece they desperately needs is still that potentially they will be approving that because they don't want to see greece that thing here is saying if greece lays then everyone can leave and that really what may save lisette with tell the. oh of the year you say. you know the name and really on the brink of the green lights the country doesn't like the pretense that it's not like that but it's easy. on the inside was. a blogger on economic affairs dimitri kovtun is thinks the greek government needs to take drastic action before it's too late. they need to default on their debt if they want their starting measures to work because right now you have austerity with tax increases and a giant that and you're not going to get anywhere and the greek economy is contracting 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 on the 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 draco's again it doesn't mean that euro zone have to circulate but it would mean a kind of dual currency system in the 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 fiscally integrate 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. we'd like to hear your views on the crisis in greece you can click on to r.t. dot com and take part in our latest poll we're asking right now what do you think greek in the e.u. leaders are discussing behind the scenes about fifteen per cent think they might be

a tense situation worse. needle was absolutely outside the bounds of my its mandate it is not supposed to be a law enforcement agency four to form a self-proclaimed government it is it wasn't supposed to seize these so-called customs posts in the first place and it certainly is institutionally shooting at people who didn't peacefully protesting the stern of the turn of events it's very easy to improve the situation by not making it worse in the first a spy not deploying these troops in support of a touchy streak state oh now that they have been deployed they could have just as well and retreated like they did back in july early august again needing comancheros to escalate and they are giving us this pabulum about lloyd older and truman allow men and therefore most criminal elements in this case stay with us here on r t still to come 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.

really made made its occupy. irreversible i mean you've got half a million israelis more than half a million living in the occupied territories so that i can't possibly see how to negotiate 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 you go useless either you get out of our territory period or they 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 are irrelevant to this three countries of the united states britain and germany as long as 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 israel is something to worry about who's going to sanction it who's going to force it to get out who's going to put pressures on israel. israel's announcement of

a new settlement construction comes as the u.n. security council prepares to consider the palestinian bid for membership at the world body wednesday the u.s. has promised to veto the move but russia and several other members of the council say they'll support the palestinians even if washington blocks the full membership palestinians could still gain elevated legal status at the u.n. general assembly where they have a majority. stay with us here on r t still to come speaking out but being shouted down. here in america we're very proud of our freedom of speech and the right to speak his considered holy except if you say the wrong you can get in trouble american celebrities find they could get in more trouble than they bargained for when publicly discussing sensitive issues including the so-called war on terror all the details coming up. but first countries have dropped their call for further a media sanctions against syria the u.n.

draft resolution has now softened it only threaten and now for. and sanctions only if the government doesn't stop its crackdown on the opposition but that crackdown currently continues the syrian army has deployed tanks and armored vehicles to the town of ras that russia has been calling on both sides in the six month long conflict to hold talks and has opposed sanctions jacob hornberger founder and president of the washington based future of freedom foundation says the real aim of western intervention would be putting their mad 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 one time to torture canadian citizen name a our air are they supported we barracked they support the dictatorships in saudi 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 is 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 yet more bloody intervention echoes colonial imperialism according to british author and journalist simon jenkins full interview with him coming up in about twenty minutes here's a preview. i do not believe the states have a legal right to an obligation or a duty to interfere no the sovereign states is written into the united nations jones. this is not a country to threaten britain didn't threaten you know any of its neighbors and invaded in the neighbor it was going about his own business if you got a revolution it was it and i'm sure last two things would happen to make guns enough do things have moved the world. the excuse that there might have been
