. you cannot tax your way out of recession or depression it simply isn't possible and the great winston churchill's quotes on this trying to tax your way out of a recession is like trying to lift yourself up in a bucket by the handle simply of 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 defaulting on what we need to do the rest of the european union the eurozone and indeed the i.m.f. is to help live in a stable controls. look we need to do is to get national governments democratically elected back to running their own economy is the you opinion isn't part of the solution here the european union is part of the problem it's the european union in the eurozone which has created this terrible cataclysmic problem so new is not part of the solution mr berg said least of all. the deepening

rattling by little else the idea that israel will bomb the facilities and a sudden attack comes another close second and some of you think that either nato all occupy the country poran will join north korea as a totally isolated nation as yourself at r.t. dot com. my. says it could support a compromise draft resolution on syria that we do united russian and european positions on the conflict this comes after hours of talks at the security council as to veto holding members russia and china rejected the initial european plan calling for immediate sanctions the softer version presented earlier by the e.u. states favors the measures if the violence doesn't stop moscow's long insisted there are restrictions are simply a strategy to pursue regime change in syria and you were able to resolve the crisis
12:13 am
russia's envoy to the u.n. though said a compromise could be reached if the rest of the security council was united in their commitment to end the violence meanwhile fighting in syria continues with the army supported by tanks and helicopters now locked in street battles in the opposition held city of. the palestinian bid for recognition at the un is moving through the security council it's been passed on to the group's admissions committee which will consider the application friday the u.s. has vowed to veto the motion in support of its ally israel meanwhile a hell of us has been slammed by the international community for deciding to expand settlements on occupied palestinian territory artie's marine important i reports. so far there is about six security council members on 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
12:14 am
should cast a veto as we know the united states a staunch ally of israel has vowed to veto the palestinian bid for u.s. membership if it 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 the middle east peace plan that comes to fruition so at this point some critics say the palestinian campaign for you another ship is doomed to hell 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 a 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 that the plan and hopes that it would be revised the united states and european union also voiced
12:15 am
criticism of this plan some critics say that this 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 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. take back its plan on expanding settlements because if those settlements do expand the palestinian president said there will be no kind of business as usual and no direct talks with the israelis. as artesian marina porton earlier she sat down with a prominent academic knowing chomsky he thinks the country is still opposed palestinian dependence should be forced to reconsider this truce between security
12:16 am
and expansion very clear choice israel is like other states is preferred for since the early seventy's it's had a choice between security and expansion and have peace but not with expansion into the territories which incidentally is recognized to be criminal but everyone or they get away with it as long as the most powerful street in the world back home and as long as you are those who want that's where we now stand and it's up to the people in the advanced industrial countries to come polar governments to go along with the world. watch the full interview with noam chomsky a little more than two hours here on our team. china is getting ready to launch an unmanned laboratory into space thursday marking the first ambitious step to building the country's own space station experimental module one known as the heavenly palace will be launched from the gobi desert in china's northwest
12:17 am
officials promise to complete the construction of the station by the end of the decade editor of the news of the magazine in gorley solve believes china's exploration of space is fueled by a desire to catch up with other countries. china has been approaching it in a space exploration program with few but very personally steps if we launch for them is something new but for now they we had reached thirty years ago as for technology they may well have borrowed some of it both officially and on officially from russia the u.s. and europe all over the place with one of the reasons the chinese are developing their own space program that is if they weren't invited to join the sands they would even refuse the mission just to visit the station but you know russia and europe had nothing against it so we have to bear in mind that china is a different civilization it was once willing to go hand in hand with us and the
12:18 am
americans but will simply go their own separate way so this first step to there is a module based space station which they plan to start building in two thousand and eighteen. switching gears now the mainstream media spend thrown into a tailspin over an independent trader who told the b.b.c. how the world of big money and politics looks from the inside r.t. is christian friends are reports from washington on why this was such an eye opener to many. the governments don't rule the world goldman sachs rules the world it was the comment heard around the world one that generated widespread reaction from papers and pundits alike we appreciate your candor however it doesn't help the rest of us does it what instead of talking about the comment itself most everybody at least not to shoot the messenger alessio responding crisis forbes called him a psychopath c.n. b.c. suggests it might be a hoax new york magazine wonders if it is a hoax or perhaps our worst nightmare well regardless of our intentions the bigger
