3:02 am
this deepening crisis now is going to be quite shortly the star going to be debating the controversial plans to strengthen that he sat out fund now we know that that's pretty extreme the unpopular amongst the german public remember germany's already the biggest single contributor and this is going to increase their contributions even more a lot of the german public say that's simply not. now from what a lot of people have been saying a lot of analysts we spoke into has said that it's not really a question of whether or not this is going to go through people think that it will get a three it's going to be a question of the majority of the german chancellor merkel guys and that's really going to be the test and the signal to be sent to the around the world about how much support this has the after effects of that are going to impact what happens here in greece moving forward again with the bear out funds and the next tranche of money that they'll be needing before they run out of money we call the choice hold it seems here at the moment they're going to be holding talks looking at how greece
3:03 am
is dealing with the debt crisis whether they're meeting the demands that were set for them now we know the property tax was passed on cheese day night that's. been the way for the choice it's come back and again another signal that the greek government trying to do everything that they can but again that's a prefix to me unpopular here amongst the greek public they say these increasing taxes these very severe austerity measures the crippling them and there's no way that they can live with them and not only that have been no going to be able should pay and so again analysis i was speaking to is saying you know this property taxes and the greek government have made sure that they're on the right track but actually that's supposed to raise about a t.v. billion here. deficit in the budget i'm realistic pay the people i've been speaking to people simply called pay that so the actual money that that will raise is going to be more in the region of the millions so it's a very tricky time these measures that are being in pace here in greece whether
3:04 am
they be effective. the deepening of the downturn has revealed some painful truths. that governments don't rule the world goldman sachs rules the world mainstream media in shock after a trader exposes what some might call the world economies worst kept secret. and we tracked the palestinian bid for u.n. membership as it makes its way through the security council despite a looming threat of a u.s. veto. but first we turn to russia's southern republic of dagestan where a car bomb has killed one police officer and seven civilians one of the victims of the blast was a young girl it's the latest in a string of deadly attacks in the region artie's medina coaching over reports from russia's north caucasus. these people were not permanently tall gets as of this type of incidents usually tall good police officers and government officials to this a bomb one off in a parked car or when a group of
3:05 am
a policeman were approaching in to inspect it and as a result one policeman was killed and another six were severely injured and that the moments they are in the hospital according to the confirmed information at this call was. the bomb was a detainee to all to massively civilian casualties also include an entire family comprising of a father a mother and one a new car prompting boy as of the moment to be investigation is underway and a criminal case has been opened the a republic all for dagestan which is situated here in russia's north caucasus is some to be one of the most a volatile areas in russia and since the start of these yeah there has been a number often a tourist terror race launched by russian security forces but recently a chain of incidents caused a hit of this breach and answer the most recent one took place on september twenty second one i.e. top officials call was targeted and of these the top planes lives of innocent
3:06 am
people and before that there was a nother double tera top to the kids the topic tell all but the region much below claiming a lot of the policeman so what we see you know is a real turn see that this is incidents are a good instance targets of police officers and government officials but very often innocent people get caught in the crossfire overall seventy four people have been killed and another and more than one hundred seventy injured as a result of a terror crime in this region since the start of this year. stay with us here on our team still to come meet space exploration is new kid on the block getting ready to launch at a unmanned space lab dubbed the heavenly palace to markets for a step towards building its own space station. but first the ethnic standoff continues in kosovo as nato reinforces its presence along the contested border with
3:07 am
serbia there is a day after at least eleven people were injured in clashes throughout the area violence flared up tuesday when nato peacekeepers tried to dismantle serb barricades during the dispute rubber bullets and tear gas were used by alliance forces serbian hospital officials claim some of the injured have been shot with live rounds the blockades were set up in july when kosovo theron has tried to seize the checkpoints to enforce a unilateral trade embargo russia's foreign ministry has called on peacekeepers in the area to stay neutral with the russian envoy to nato dimitri were goes in saying the alliance taking sides could inflame the conflict. it seems my need to 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 road of life between the cost of an serbs and serbia it's the international peacekeepers who are involved in the civil conflict in the north of the region according to our sources
3:08 am
there are badly wounded people among the casa been serbs and those wounds are not from rubber bullets or from stones though from real bullets fired at these people need refuses to answer that question it's another mistake that nato is making and provokes another conflict in the balkans. serbian foreign affairs writer for america's chronicles magazine says nato forces may have acted beyond their national law. let us imagine for argument's sake that bashar al assad's sent his security forces against a group of syrian demonstrators that those troops were met with stones they fired live ammunition back and then claimed they did it in self-defense i think that we can already hear that the rise of a loft while the west implications and western media and here today would have us believe that they were acting in self-defense when fighting first double its and then live ammunition at rock throwing serps but what were they doing there in the
3:09 am
first place the notion that they were actually helping touchy called a snake impose his control on the border between cos of uncertainty what should be properly called a minister to dividing line means that they have exceeded their mandate and they're no longer acting in in accordance with resolution twelve fifty four which is just about the only legal basis of their presence remember you can find all the latest news and stories any time by logging on to r.t. dot com here's what's waiting for you online right now. a french envoy to the u.n. warns iran that it's playing with fire if it continues pursuing its nuclear program tell us where you stand on to ron's controversial atomic ambitions participate in our online poll. and today we're asking what will happen if iran is proved to be building a nuclear weapon so far the most popular response is they'll be lots of saber
3:10 am
rattling but little else the idea that israel might bomb the facilities in a sudden attack is second some think that either nato will occupy the country or iran will join north korea as a totally isolated nation what do you think dot com and have your say. moscow says it could support a compromise draft resolution on syria that would unite russian and european positions on the conflict this comes after hours of talks at the security council as to a 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 has long insisted
3:11 am
that there are stretches are just a strategy to pursue pursuit regime change in syria and do little to actually resolve the crisis through russia's envoy to the un though says 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 backed by tanks and helicopters is now locked in street battles in the key opposition city. back to our top story now the european debt situation and the economic situation there as germany prepares to vote on new euro zone rescue proposals for more on this we cross live to german member of parliament dieter dame whose do you think is taking part in the vote today thank you very much for joining us sir so your party will be voting on the future of the powers for the eurozone bailout fund what position are you taking. we will voting against that because it's not a help for the for the creek it's a help for the owner of the credit papers of the creek now
3:12 am
she may not have your support on this move but how likely do you think it is that chancellor merkel will convince the government to vote for the eurozone rescue plan i fear that this government and its total as. far as to do what helps the bank and helps the the big german banks so she will convince them i am i'm really sure but i am against this development because we think that the financial markets are too strong and we have to regulate them. if the vote is passed today who do you think will be footing the bill surely the e.u. doesn't have some kind of magic purse to keep dishing out billions of euros to the struggling economies. that's true i think that if the owner of the big. creek ships would not pay
3:13 am
taxes and if some german a big company zen banks do not pay taxes the money will be will be given out by the by the tax by the common. tax a payer and this is not our our convention we think that it's necessary that. the banks who had to the big profit a big big profit by this crisis have to pay and as long as the participation of the the profiteers of this crisis is not guaranteed we are against this development. has insisted that the vote is crucial to saving the euro do you think the argument could be made though that there are some countries that might be better off without being part of the single currency. i'm sceptic let me be honest if the tama are if back to the day mark our own currency for each
3:14 am
country is the queensway so i think. you should you should go with the oil but if the people in italy in spain in particle and in and in crease will will go out of the oil row we are we think the people have to decide that and it's not a decision by the toy car any anyone like like them. let me let me see let me let me say another thing to this the germans have not only a benefit by the oil roll and the german big companies have a benefit by that they they also force the creek to buy so many weapons so they have four percent more for their weapons as each other country in europe there's been a lot of talk about greek default being inevitable at this point why do you think germany is reluctant to admit defeat on this front and just allow it to happen.
3:15 am
the problem is that even in the conservative and in the liberal parties there are some. some person some colleagues of me who say it's not a good that's the creditors are not participating by the solving of this crisis and therefore there they were all the time insurer if they have the magic words and i think each week we wait each week we wait the deutsche bank and all the owners of the papers give them to the do the year old europe pull central bank and give it to the to the it's w k f w so that the created. the credits will but the toxic credits will be paid by. the taxpayers and not by the banks each week we wait in committing that there is
3:16 am
a big problem increase it's one week more to put the toxic papers into. the common banks and this is a that's a pity for all now some experts say the eurozone crisis escalated because of a lack of strong leadership if the chancellor doesn't secure support over the cowen support of the coalition over these new a euro zone rescue plans her position could be weakened do you think that would have an impact on the block. i think she will she will she will convince her government and i think in the last point the s.p.d. the greens the liberals and the cons of it will go together and we are the oh the only party who vote against this because we think it's a complete wrong construction with this the problem is that this. is not
3:17 am
built on the social fund fundamental to social base it's it's founded on only a free trade zone and only capitalist arguments and that's the wrong construction and we want to change that and therefore we couldn't accept what they are doing and i think they will go together so. there is no i think it's believed will be hard in general febrile when she wanted to have a ready fixation in this point to start that's true but they will go together at last and they they they they they they say that it's for the greek people but it's not for the people it's for the banks and and that's all we open we are the opposition and we remain to be that are we have to leave it there and either dame german ember of number problem from dialing party thanks for talking with us from berlin thank you to the palestinian bid for recognition at the
3:18 am
un is moving through the security council it's been passed on to the groups admissions committee which will consider the application friday but the us has vowed to veto the motion in support of its ally israel meanwhile tel aviv has been slammed by the international community for deciding to expand settlements on occupied palestinian territory artie's marina porton 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 should cast a veto as we know the united states a staunch ally of israel has vowed to veto 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
3:19 am
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 with the plan and hopes that it would be revised the united states and european union also voiced criticism of this plan and 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
3:20 am
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 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. china's preparing to launch an unmanned laboratory to space thursday marking its first ambitious step toward building the country's own space station the experimental module tiangong one also known as the heavenly palace will be launched from the gobi desert in china's northwest officials have promised to complete construction of the station by the end of the decade the editor of the news of the cause may not expand. things china's exploration of space is fueled by its desire to catch up with other countries. right at the keep their through the program china has been
3:21 am
approaching it in a space exploration program with few but very personally steps and it really looms for them is something new but for now they are at the point 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 is that they weren't invited to join the i as soon as they were even refused permission just to visit the station though 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 of the americans but will simply go their own separate way so this launch is the first step to their own module based space station weight which they plan to start building in two thousand and eighteen. switching gears now the mainstream media has been thrown into a tizzy over an independent trader who told the b.b.c.
3:22 am
in an interview how the world of big money and politics looks from the inside parties christine friends are reports from washington on why for many this was an eye opener. 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 but instead of talking about the comment itself most immediately sought to shoot the messenger alessio forbes calls 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 question has been largely ignored was he wrong about the power of goldman sachs and why was everyone so shocked after all right here at r t in our studios we've had several guests bonafide traders even former goldman sachs employees who have said
3:23 am
at the very same thing washington is not the biggest player in this global bankers are the biggest players the global hedge fund managers that's where the action that is determining the outcome of this mass not the players in washington they have already seated control to the global banking industry wall street has been pulling the strings in washington from the get go it is the largest sector of campaign contributions and that's to both parties but for the mainstream media who don't share views like these are studies honesty was unexpected survive and thrive t.v.'s george hamon jury when they asked him nice questions on b.b.c. he just let it all hang out and the actual truth came across. recently also sent shock waves around the world when he told the b.b.c. that most traders don't really care if and when the economy is fixed personally i've been dreaming of this one for three years i have
3:24 am
a confession which is i go to bed every night i dream of another recession the b.b.c. interview has now gone viral if you could see the people around me jewels of collectively drop what you just saves perhaps there. jobs wouldn't have dropped had they only read matt july two thousand and nine a rolling stone article the great american bubble machine in it he famously described goldman sachs as a quote great vampire squid wrapped around the face of humanity relentlessly jamming its blood funnel into anything that smells like money t.v. discussed with us recently how although people are unaware of it the big bank has profound power in society how much you're paying for gas how much you're paying for electricity how much you're paying for your credit cards. your mortgage how much you're paying in taxes and how much of your tax dollars are going to debt service. unlike the mainstream media few here would be shocked by rest on his comments we're
3:25 am
going to shut down for nearly two weeks these protesters have been out every day hoping to bring an end. or at least awareness to what many call a corrupt system. and still others have argued for years that the government's actions are dictated by the big banks the very special interests on wall street the insurance industry these guys these are the people who are writing the laws that obama is passing they are keeping him in power they are the ones that are financed this campaign and the laws are being written for their benefit. as anger builds here perhaps better questions need to be asked here so that a different message is sent to decision makers here that the system that has been sustained and protected for decades might need to change in washington christine for r.t. green is up next with the business news stay with us here on r.t.
3:26 am
. hello and welcome to our business bulletin on the south thanks for joining me russia a heavy blow in the last bout of financial market turbulence last week the country's indices lost over ten percent making russia the worst performer among emerging markets but does this recent weakness present an opportunity for bargain hunters and associates was a powerful let's get to capital is with me here in the studio to discuss the issue thanks for joining us for coming in and thank you so if those problems in the you and across the atlantic carry on. what would that mean for the emerging markets do you think you know what will that mean well as you know around sixteen percent of emerging market is actually global investors so basically right now according to the recent i am math research paper they accounted that around thirty eight point
3:27 am
two billion dollars would probably outflow from emerging markets and particularly prone in europe itself around eight point two that basically the main concern is about the growth the billeted so the outflow is there nevertheless. investors are looking forward to invest into emerging market but probably not right now because the uncertainty and growth nonce debility actually is a key factor for not getting right now so that's not the time to buy in from your tenure i would say that price is a very very attractive but. people are still more in the cash and they're more cautious you know they try to keep their plans in cash or put more investment in u.s. treasuries you know safe harbor but not into american markets they might buy like several main stocks but on very slow motions used to measure ease as treasuries like people try to avoid that. and they try to avoid an emerging market
3:28 am
they try to save what they have so far so in this case they go to cash they go to u.s. treasury some of them still buy u.s. stocks as well but primarily they not try to get into the e.s.m. so far although they are really looking for additional interest rates and additional income and they can't easily get at the march market right now but from what we're seeing now how optimistic are you from your point of view is that you know the problems in europe could be resolved soon. this is the biggest question. and their big government right now is trying to solve you know it's very uncertain so far so many genius people are trying to solve this key question where are they and when we can finally breathe and get it. there's a three trillion gap that's when we seen right now and to tell the truth i don't
