5:02 am
the biggest single contributor and this is going to increase their contributions even more a lot of the german public say that that's simply not. now 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 most people think that it will go a three is 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 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 funds and the next tranche of money that they'll be needing before they run out of money altogether but we've got the choice called it seem here at the moment they're going to be holding talks looking at how greece is dealing with the debt crisis whether they're meeting the demands that was 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 a come back and again another signal that the greek government trying to do
5:03 am
everything that they can but again that's again prefix to me unpopular here amongst the greek public they say these increasing taxes these very severe austerity measures are simply crippling them and there's no way that they can live with them and not only that they're not going to be able to pay it so again an analyst i was speaking to is saying you know this property taxes and the the greek government have made to show that they're on the right track but actually that's supposed to raise about two billion euro a deficit in that budget and realistically the people i've been speaking to said you know people simply can't pay that so the actual money that that will raise is going to be more in the region of the millions. the e.u. commission president insisted greece will remain in the euro zone and called on its members to join forces as the union faces its biggest challenge in history but british godfrey bloom thinks the biggest problem in the crisis may be the european union itself. you cannot tax your way out of recession or depression it
5:04 am
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 they simply come out 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 you 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 so least of all and the deepening of the downturn has revealed some painful truths. that governments

5:06 am
remain neutral. saying the alliance taking sides could inflame the conflict. because it seems my nato 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. 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 there are badly wounded people among the cause of concern and those are not. there from real bullets fired at these people those who need to refuses to answer that question it's another mistake that nato is making and provokes another conflict in the balkans. serbia and foreign affairs writer for america's chronicles magazine says nato forces may have acted in a lot. let us imagine for argument's sake that bashar al assad's sent his
5:07 am
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 of west implications and western media and here today would have us believe that they were acting in self defense when fighting first radical it's 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 touchy call the snake impose his control on of all between crosses and serbia it should be properly called administrative 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. turning to russia's southern

5:09 am
veto holding members russia and china rejected the initial european plan calling for immediate sanctions softer version presented earlier by the e.u. states favors and measures if the violence doesn't stop moscow has long insisted the restrictions are just a strategy to pursue regime change in syria and do a little to actually resolve the crisis russia's envoy to the u.n. though said a compromise could be reached if the rest of the security council was united in a commitment to end the violence meanwhile fighting in syria continues with the army supported by tanks and helicopters now walked in street battles in the opposition held city of. staying with the region the palestinian bid for recognizing her recognition at the u.n. is moving through the security council it's been passed on to groups the groups admissions committee which will consider the application friday the u.s. has vowed to veto the motion in support of its ally israel while tel of eve has been criticized by the international community for deciding to expand its
5:10 am
settlements on occupied palestinian land artie's marine important has more from new york. 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 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
5:11 am
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 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 the diplomatic negotiations will continue taking place to make sure that
5:12 am
maybe israel will. take its plan on expanding settlements because if those settlements do it. and the palestinian president said there will be no kind of business as usual and no with direct talks with the israelis and very important i earlier sat down with a prominent academic professor noam chomsky he thinks that countries that still oppose palestinian independence should be forced to reconsider the choice between security and expansion very clear to others israel is like other states is preferred since the early seventy's it's had a choice between security and expansion and have peace but not with the expansion of the territories which incidentally is recognized for the criminal but every one of the new way with it as long as the most powerful street in the world back home and as long as you are close with that's where we now stand it's up to the people the advanced industrial countries to component governments to go along with the

world. noam chomsky's forty interview coming your way in a little more than an hour stay with us. china is only a few hours away from launching an experimental module tiangong one also known as the heavenly palace into space marking the first ambitious steps towards building the country's own space station the space lab will be testing technology such as life support systems. will be a significant step towards china's own space station planned for the end of the decade the editor of news of the cause. of china's exploration of space may be fueled by a desire to catch up with other countries. that. china has been approaching it in and space exploration program with few but very personally steps if we launch for them is something new but for now though. we had
5:14 am
reached thirty years ago as for technology they made with borat some of it officially or unofficially from russia the u.s. and europe over the place it with but one of the reasons the chinese are developing their own civilian spirit or not is that they weren't invited to join the serious they would even refuse the mission just to visit the station but you know that russia and europe is 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 first step into there is a module based space station which they plan to start building in two thousand and eighteen. you can find all the latest r.t. stories news and analysis a click away at r.t. dot com here's what's 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 . controversial atomic ambitions participate in our latest poll at our two dot com
