it's one am here in moscow this is r t coming to you live in now with our top story german lawmakers have agreed to massively increase the size and power of the euro zone's bell out fond meaning berlin will guarantee a whopping two hundred and eleven billion euros worth of loans but greece is watching this very closely as it tries to convince the e.u. and i.m.f. to release more emergency cash but the greek public's anger is focused on facing more cuts and tax hikes as our firth explains from athens. the patience is running out amongst the people here in greece take your bed and leave that was the message from the protesters here today than outside the finance ministry the organizations of a lot of people who are being made unemployed to the government's austerity measures one of the implementations that they've put in place to try and secure that bailout cash the eight billion is going to be decided on later next month so you can see

the ban is that the ban on the finance ministry itself saying we want life the people here a feeling that the measures that have been put in place are simply stifling them and that realistically that is too high a price to pay so it is certainly a different reaction to the positivity we saw after that positive vote in germany it was certainly a positive step that chancellor merkel managed to secure the majority of that that is seen as taking decisive action but there are questions really aver how much impact that money is going to have now currently the greek debt stands at around three hundred forty billion euro and the germany very taking to extend the size and power of the bailout fund that would now be four hundred forty billion euros of which over two hundred billion would be contributed by germany was already the single biggest contributor to that fund that we know that's caused some discontent among the german public i know when i've been

a crash just playing from that yet because there are still countries that have to vote tonight take seventeen countries and as he said the way that that's being received here amongst the public is with some skepticism they said a lot of people are saying that they view the year is a leaders as a part of the problem of this whole eurozone financial crisis so they're asking how they can be the solution and also there's a lot of mistrust head because the people here is someone telling me today that this isn't a case of things getting worse month by month old week by week even. day by day things here getting worse for the people that tomorrow we're going to see the deadline for attacks we see people outside the finance ministry. banning the tax bills that they've been given they say not only do they not want to pay this they simply can't pay it they don't have the money anymore a lot of disappointment in the government we sold the protests and clashes break

out between the riot police and the protesters on cheese day after the failed the property tax was policy that says a lot of discontent still amongst these people say with the next round of money to be decided on next month and with the telephone being extended what people here is that is they're not really sure they will not cash they feel that the measures being taken a too harsh that is poisoning the patient's age speak and they don't know whether this bailout funds going to be medicine or to the country or whether taking that money is going to be drinking from the poison chalice but as we heard from sour greek politicians are desperate to get more balance out cash to remain in the currency union but robert oulds chairman of the influential group group in london which promotes the centralized and european affairs says they're out of touch with their people. increasing gulf between the political class and what the population are thinking the greek population don't want to be paying money to financial

institutions the greek government has a different point of view the german population don't want their money to be handed over to greece feckless greece which is wasted more money. the finnish population is also greatly concerned yet the political class are too wedded to the idea of the euro they're not facing the economic reality they're just concerned of the political project of the euro and the european union when they should be concentrating on people's jobs and protecting taxpayers' money but the heart of the problem is the euro and greece and their membership of the euro it's not helping their economy it's throwing good money after bad it's a mistake the really the way to address this is for greece to leave the euro recognize that default is inevitable that is what is going to happen they need to leave the euro and devalue

a new currency and re in figure out their economy that way then that's what needs to be done they need to recognize that the euro has failed for them. well across the atlantic the u.s. economy is also struggling but now president obama has found somewhere to point the finger of blame and that's directly at the democratic uprisings in the arab world now to make sense of this position we're now joined live from los angeles brian burke who is from the delhi banter political mark thanks for being with us president obama has always held the arab uprisings as a victory for democracy but now he says they contributed to sloppy economic recovery in the u.s. why the change of rhetoric. i would have to say that i agree that it's very strange he seems to be very clear of what the real problems here which is what. which is why he's just who is to be rewarded and. jobs bill this doesn't seem to be made much sense to me that it could be possibly a bit of mr action or the other possibility is that he's playing to the wall street

crowd for whom these issues are very large and who do get impacted by all those various sovereign debt crisis that being said i can't imagine why that would have an impact on the average american on the problems they're facing today right but oil as they came pen of the global economy of course doesn't have a point here and if so they have seen this coming anyway. well oiled been a problem for a long time but neither the european sovereign debt crisis nor the crisis in the middle east have made it well substantially more expensive than it's been over the past three or four years so once again i think the americans already adjusted to the oil demand shock and are now dealing with a simple lack of demand any attempt for him to appoint another direction. to in terms of the problems that we're facing seems to me to be mr action i thought she knows what the problem is he's been talking about it for weeks now talking about the war but look past as one shouldn't mention any of these crises in his speeches

to the american population so it seems to me to be a new mean that his advisors came up with to maybe maybe he i think helped him stand a little taller in wall street's eyes what about the american population i mean american and european banks have traded bad debts for years now do you think people are really going to buy this oil story. i can see that they are armed groups very interesting to me that you brought it up at a hispanic forum sponsored by yahoo and a.o.l. i don't see what german what that has to do with population spanish population spacing knowing this country is talking about the price of gasoline is their major economic problem right i know people who are very wealthy and people who have no jobs and are struggling to make ends meet none of them mentioned it as an issue do you think that maybe this is a tactic to pull focus away from those messages. you know it's spun it seems to me

that's the case because i can't imagine another reason they do it and even more strangely it seems to me that they have been gaining traction on the jobs issue recently and so change abruptly change their tap like this is very strange and i can't help but think that they had some pressure from somewhere else from without from outside of the white house to discuss these issues because it hasn't been something he's brought up at all previously but now we're seeing europe struggling with a major austerity out to manage their debt what are the chances you think the u.s. could be heading the same way well i think it's very unlikely but i think that's also very unfortunate because we don't have the same constraints that europe has we have the ability to control our own currency and have a currency that on traders are buying in droves so we don't need austerity in this country but much like europe we have to make a question we have to answer a question for ourselves if the very wealthy and successful people this country

want to contribute to and to help those who are less fortunate the same way that greece has germany has to make that decision when it comes to greece so i actually feel a pair of balls between what's going on here and what's going on in europe the difference is we can fix it and we simply aren't doing it whereas they have a much more complex of problems to deal. right ari wrong from the daily banter political blog thank you very much for your input a very much mr. plan to get out he forces have taken the airport in syria the fugitive colonel's hometown and one of the last khadafi stronghold reinforcements have been called in the head of fresh assault in the face of stiff resistance civilians continue to flee the violence in the besieged city saying nato has only added to their problems professor of political science in paris paragon young says the alliance which is responsible for a massacre as is unlikely to be brought to account over mass killings. the west

even refused the mission just to visit the station russia and europe but not against it so we have to bear in mind that trying there is a. different civilization. willing to go with the americans but will simply go their own separate way so this is the first step to their. space station which they plan to start building in two thousand and eighteen. now for in-depth coverage of all our stories and much more check out our website dot com here's what's waiting for you right now if there's any truth to the rumors certainly earning his moment in different countries on a. party has its own take on where the missing momar might be hiding out online for more. former ukrainian prime minister yulia timoshenko is back in the dock after a two week break and she is clearly the happier for it dot com to find out why and

attackers while we have reports from medical services in the area that the injured were delivered to the hospital carrying gunshot wounds so it is really hard to say what's true and what's false and all this story and who is so blamed for the tuesday's incident meanwhile there has been a very sharp response from belgrade of course the latest events in the north of serbia to facts. is about to set up customs around what they think is the independent state of course on the other hand they show that there are international unions and a whole number of states to do prove of such intentions of prishtina we are facing a situation here when international forces deployed in kosovo in fact serve the needs of pristina instead of maintaining a neutral position this is why serbia is against it this is been happening ever since july in fact every sense of the course of the police set up roadblocks on the border with. so and serbia thus enforcing

. you released a book recently. called nine eleven was there an alternative focusing on the us assassination of osama bin laden and that continuity you say between george w. bush and barack obama the killing of those on the case it was done in such a way as to in your pocket. which is extremely dangerous that's the most dangerous country in the world go and do it but you have a professional army you committed. to pakistan the pakistanis who are already. overwhelmingly american this. stretches from. the army is bitterly. not only in the region of the country the murder of someone up there sure but also that they're being.

pressure forced to take part in an american war in afghanistan some of the conservatives military analysts who wrote about the bin laden assess nation i quoted some of them pointed out quite accurately that there's a shift between bush's policies and obama's and this bush bush's policy was to kidnap people. whatever you thought about them. take them to one ton of mower bug rum or some other torture chamber and they'll try to extract some information out of them we know what that was like to describe it obama's policy is just to kill. killing them all over the world targeted assassination camp and you know to kidnap them and torture him just kill him. the blood necessities it was a case in point it's hard to remember but there used to be a system of justice in the west which said that a person is

a suspect until it is proven guilty until then he's a suspect he's innocent until proven guilty well that's one no you just kill him if you think you're guilty so he was apprehended. no resistance he was alone with his ways but the feds doesn't. highly trained commandos could certainly have apprehended him and they didn't they were under orders to murder him and then toss his body into the ocean acts that are almost designed such a way to increase. hatred throughout the muslim world and when anybody has got their eyes open you talk about the obama administration and how the u.s. actually is right now could be infuriating the muslim world the arab world the obama administration has supported the tunisians has supported the egyptians has supported the libyans and the so-called arab spring the palestinians have

officially submitted an application for un membership and statehood the us says that they will cast it will go against it if they have to because they believe that the record low shisha should take place between palestine and israel before there's an independent palestine first of all i have to make all of creation of the united states and its western allies did not support the egyptian museum revolutions they opposed them. back to them in tears it was mostly france still are calling me fix calling egypt was the united states and they supported the dictators until the last minute when. the army turned against them and it was no longer possible to support them and they said ok one democracy is wonderful and then they move to try to ensure that the regimes would stay pretty much as they were and cites a very old pattern but putting that aside it's true that the united states. that we

cast of the for thirty five years the united states and israel have been rejecting a political settlement that is supported by virtually the entire world the arab league the organization of islamic states which includes iran and hamas supports it almost no relevant party disagrees with it except that the united states and israel won't let it happen they say it's in israel's best interest and possibly the u.s. i tell allowed this palestinian un membership for thirty five years that sends a very much a family where it is now that it's been for almost forty years there's a choice between security and expansion very clear choice israel is like other states prefer it for since the early seventy's it's had a choice between security and expansion can have te's but not with expansion into

the territories which incidentally is recognized to be criminal but everyone including israel. they can get away with it as long as the most powerful state world backs them and as long as europe goes along and europe is remarkably cowardly them out like this but they don't like to step on the toenails of the masters so they go along you know as the quartet has backed the united states they picked tony blair you know i don't have to comment on him but then i might as well of picked george bush to. bring the message you do what the united states tells you to stop this nonsense about statehood and go back to negotiations that's why. it's up to the people who watched industrial countries to compel them to build much of the all of the world professor chomsky thank you very much for your time.
