surveil stairs images otherways thing being passed by the government now the troika audit team is coming back to greece they're going to be assessing the situation here head and the decision has to be made aware that the european it is going to release that next tranche of money that eighty billion year is said at that there's a lot of skepticism really about this positive rhetoric that we've heard coming from the european leaders about the government passing yesterday as you said that extremely unpopular property tax that was seen as a feeling the way to the troika old it seemed to return realistically there are many questions being asked as to how effective that will actually be is going to add around thousands here is yet on space people's household bills and the electricity company the electricity went to some cells they said that they're planning to we call that say the i did this is gay is the place to plug a t.v.

really in your deficit in the budget the i did the money will actually be able to be raised about the size they can see as a mistake they are realistic we had a candidate from burundi say he was talking about you know the challenge is to the e.u. now faces of the european union status and greece is absolutely going to be staying within the year if it hit only counties every day situations the people having to do with the extremely high unemployment they really tell you peter trust now because we see these measures because we've seen them fail and again i have to highlight the fact that the trickle of the team has come again on the side of the government causing this property tax cuts in place to be seen as a positive but the people here is that this is simply not going to pay it this week at the end of this week one of the previous times. it's a place to be collected friend the people here that's the dead life that is going to be reason people is that they can see outside the building says it has collected

and everything up there goes a day fifty to think this if we know going to play it safe these matches i think you know going to have that impact safe but the years leading to wonder. that maybe they only have to do it for the people here were saying last night we saw the outbreak again days riots between the right leasing the protesters ladies people are extremely angry about how this is affecting the lives you come back to for a space then and knowledge in a in a these people are asking for a sporting chance to get themselves out of this place and be thankful that they're getting it made and. well as we have the e.u. commission president schooling for close economic integration as a way to escape the crisis british year and. told r.c. it was the union that caused the troubles in the first place. you cannot tunks your way of recession or just depression it simply isn't possible in the great winston churchill's quotes on this trying to touch your way out of

a recession is like trying to lift yourself up in a bucket by the handle they simply can't work for the soon as the politicians the bureaucrats and everybody else face the truth of this crisis the sooner we can start to get out of it the greek people are beginning to understand that they will be better off by default thing what we need to do the rest of the european union the eurozone and indeed the i.m.f. is to hold in a stable controlled faults know what we need to do is to get national governments democratically elected back to running their own economy is the european union and part of the solution here the u. european union is part of the problem it's the european union in the euro zone which has created this terrible cataclysmic problem so new is not part of the solution mr bruce the least of all. he got feebly with his assessment of what's to blame for the greek debt troubles. now native peacekeepers in concert i have called

him more true to a disputed border crossing in the ethnic north a day after several people were hurt in clashes both sides blame each other for starting with violence which the rubber bullets and tear gas by alliance forces anger rose in late july because of an authority is try to seize the frontiers to enforce a trade embargo russia's envoy today told me earlier that the allies is now taking sides in what is essentially an eternal conflict. it seems my new colleagues don't have a clue what the consequences of their involvement in the conflict could be instead of taking a neutral position in accordance with the un security council resolution they took the side of constable albania basically nato is blocking the only route of life between the cost of an serbs and serbia is the huge national peacekeepers who are involved in the civil conflict in the north of the region according to our sources there are badly wounded people among the constable serbs and those wounds are not

from rubber bullets or from stones from real bullets fired at these people need to refuses to answer the question it's not a mistake neither was making unprovoked another conflict in the balkans. other discuss the situation are now joined live i said at the risk of it she's asserting a foreign affairs writer america's chronicles magazine and they are for joining us here on r.t. extra later the peacekeepers have moved in to help bring calm but reportedly just provoked on clashes made the situation worse what does this tell us about how feelings are running that. well first of all it's telling us a lot to go and make the troops themselves and it's rather ironic that we're using that peacekeepers because peace peter implies so increasing partial sum on crew is actually there to lower tensions perhaps to prevent violence let us imagine for argument's sake that bashar al assad's has sent his security forces against a group of syrian demonstrators those troops were met terms be fired live

ammunition back and then claim they did it in self-defense i think that we can already hear that the rise of the laughter for western police and west a new idea and here today would have us believe that they were acting in self-defense when fighting first rather bullets and then live ammunition at rock throwing surface but what were they doing there in the first place the notion that they were actually helping touching called the snake impose his control on the border between uncertainty who should be properly called a minister it's a dividing line means that they have exceeded their mandate and they're no longer acting in accordance with. the full which is just about to be only a legal basis of their presence at last but by no means least these calls the albanian part of the serbs in march two thousand and four when these same proves

the case for continue the main remarkably restraint they didn't even dream of. being in march when it went on the rampage torching thousands of serbian homes and destroying dozens of serbian churches including the fourteenth century cathedral and piers that in which the germans were supposed to be guarding well they were diligently videotaping the proceedings but didn't move a little finger to stop it i think is that if it's do you believe that they take its presence on that front line is necessary or not. course it is necessary to legal beanie inside to help impose their rule over the serbian trying to linda north but it is not necessarily quite the country is that three mental from any legal or reasonable political point of view we unfortunate fact is that nato has been taking sides in the former yugoslavia for twenty years and it will be

truly shocking we've they were trying to get different cleanup but i think that if we just heard from russia's nato envoy save he believes the alliance isn't being a t.v. that we can expect seagate has made its reaction at the dig deeper in the region yes a greatly feared that this will actually happen because now that has broken out it will be argued from nato it is a matter of preserving their credibility and actually finishing going job that remains unfinished he does also unfortunately the serbs way to us are effectively coming themselves soon because with our supplies from central serbia they cannot withstand the pressure for much longer than in the questioning this out and it's something the diplomats that we speak give the death of at this local conflict could actually threaten european think the nur opinion could be its problem threads oh no because what we need government in belgrade will try yet again as it has

done time and over again because really the true shimon belgrade is at the same time running with it is in hunting with hounds on the one hand they claim they want to preserve claim to cross will only other when earth with western pressure they just cave in and capitulate so i don't think there is any potential for spreading conflict for the simple reason that belgrade is effectively only able and willing to protect serbian national and state interests i thought of that if it sat foreign affairs editor a corner magazine in the us that's big enough. now we're just a few minutes away from hearing how free speech does seem to come at a cost these days even marks of liberty like through the cheney ballot time there not anyone speaking their mind the one hundred to three hours coming to.

the u.n. security council is considering the palestinian the ministrations membership the stated it leader officially submitted a united nations application last week israel and the united states strongly oppose the idea a lot is going to pour nies following because they'll take actions for us in new york. the process takes no longer than thirty five days to standing committee. and review the occupation for palestinian un membership and statehood the standing committee will hold its first meeting on friday and the application that palestinian leader mahmoud abbas handed in calls for recognition palestinian state in the west bank or gaza strip and east jerusalem ask its capital so far there is about a six security council members on the record that have thrown their support behind the palestinian bid a total of nine out of the fifteen countries need to support the application and

there has to be no vetoes none of the veto wielding members of the security council should cast a veto as we know the united states a songe ally of israel has vowed to veto the palestinian bid for u.n. membership if that house to israel is very much opposed to this the us president barack obama said the only way that there can be independent palestinian state is if the palestinians and the israelis get back to the negotiation table and discuss middle east peace plan that comes to fruition so at this point some critics say that the palestinian campaign for your ownership is doomed to fail but the palestinians are very appreciative that security council is moving so quickly and at the very least this is bringing to it bringing attention to our problem that has lasted for decades and has not yet been solved there has been condemnation coming from the international community against israel's plan to expand its settlements russia has said it's deeply concerned with the plan and hopes that it would be

revised the united states and european union are also voiced criticism of this plan and some critics say that the settlement expansion is actually a violation of international law and if anything israel's actions can be seen as. provoking and already sensitive circumstance not helping to reach. ultimate peace agreement in any sort of way the prime minister of israel benjamin netanyahu says that israel has the right to build people in israel some say have you this settlement expansion as a gift for the jewish new year the palestinian authority say that israel clearly with this move is not serious about peace whatsoever and we can imagine that a lot of diplomatic negotiations will continue taking place to make sure that maybe israel will will. its plan on expanding settlements because if those settlements do

you expect the palestinian president said there will be no kind of business as usual and no direct talks with the israelis israel's announcement that in. the west bank is giving the palestinians further down there they want peace there's school science is taught about them as in ramallah told r.t. israeli prime minister is the one still in the process. mr netanyahu is nothing about the big liar he is he has nothing to offer he's just. can't provide key words he is obsessed with a very fine i think kind of political ideology and he has really nothing to offer and lately or in the end mr bass had reached that realisation after eighteen years of ruthless negotiation that this right is truculent at this point under the under the leadership of netanyahu is unable to deliver anything and one evidence that supported this so this claim is yesterday's or actually today's. generation and the

part of the government buildings we were settlements in jerusalem there were places so it's a government of settlers to deal with the question of peace because if the question of peace is to be correctly addressed then the question of settlements has to be also dealt with and apparently the current government is unable to reach that limit . now there's a new attempt by the un's top body in formulating response to syria but european countries and russia remain divided on sanctions european nations new draft scales back a call for tougher restrictions on syria suggesting that further sanctions only implementable to doesn't stop immediately russia remains resolution is styles that further sanctions won't work in the warring sides should enter talks the crackdown in syria continues with the army supported by tanks and helicopters now have installed picky rebels a stone. of the u.s.

a right the one who started with the plane flying into the world trade center i don't know about tony bennett was attacked afterwards with stinging criticism from some quarters then he went to great lengths to apologize to those his remarks may have offended i'd like to say that i am sorry if my state statement suggested anything other than an expression of my love for my country america calls itself the land of the free but some are asking why a living legend like tony bennett has to apologize for his thoughts there's no tolerance really for any deviation from the official line even though here in america we're very proud of our freedom of speech and the right to speak his considerable holy except if you say the wrong things you can get in trouble artists musicians have now tony bennett it's me question freedom of speech proved no defense in protecting the jobs of a number of public figures in america sacked after comments that appeared to

challenge conventional u.s. establishment views journalist helen thomas and being a white house reporter for over half a century was forced to resign after she said he's really should leave land they taken from palestinians everybody's been prior for what they think they could. and that if you say anything about the president the united states you can call him anything in the book but you can't say anything about israel. automatically makes you any systematic siennas former senior editor of middle east the fierce davian the search was sacked a year ago because of a tweet she wrote about her respect for a lebanese cleric who had one time had been seen as the spiritual leader of the hezbollah but had later broken ties with them they're all sort of college or at least that was promptly pushed out of the us mainstream media it's all about consequences social and economic just pressure rather than real censorship

politicians expressing ideas against the establishment you come under fire true like congressman ron paul who is running for president i was common law man i don't hide i have been a christian. they have been explicit and they wrote. there we are can act we attack america because you had bases on our holy land in saudi arabia you do not give palestinians fair treatment and you have been bombing. i didn't say that i'm trying to get through to understand what the motive was behind the bombing at the same time we have been bombing and killing hundreds of thousands of iraqis or near would you be annoyed if you're not annoying there's some problem who did end legal unpatriotic by some just like tony bennett was when he spoke his mind it's not so much about what people said that led to them being rude or even being

fired from their jobs but rather about the fact that in a country that prides itself on freedom of speech that freedom often comes at a hefty price i'm going to check out reporting from washington art. but of course if you'll times until these you sometimes end up missing. far more found out recently just what is the difference between a journalist to cheat the president found the distinction difficult heart easily to a speech a for the we've got the details that are all. so online for you i hope to greener pastures russian agricultural bosses are keen to set out widespread counted response asians albeit perhaps not for the reasons you'd expect it's strange but true we've got the full story on our website class all our best videos on you tube channel. if.

emphasis on measuring to peek into positive territory plumbing not ski from renesas as of managers explains what is driving the roller coaster. the result of america the pressure before bubbly is because russia is because it's a market in the world that some while you markets it's always been quite cheap and when the global markets are in turmoil russia first in the form of the other reason but you can look for that is the poor the russian market is still relatively liquid compared problems will be worthless and when people really money turns to suffer disproportionately there is a flip cycle of printing to go up to the russians to a performer everything else in the world the last decade plus is the bear market trough and. recently russia was the cooling market in the world she recalls goes up more than anything goes on more than anything else. let's have a look at those figures where it's heading for the biggest quarterly decline since two thousand and eight that some speculation that huge market world drops by as the
