broadcasting live from our studios here in central moscow this is r.t. certainly glad to have you with us europe's largest economy has voted in favor of boosting the euro zone's a bailout guarantees to seven hundred eighty billion euros a large majority of it german lawmakers supported the measure committing berlin to providing two hundred eleven billion euros worth of loans greece is one of the most likely recipients of the aid and has been watching developments closely as it's in dire need of a fresh cash injection but as sarah for a thousand out the people are more focused on spending cuts and tax hikes than courting foreign money. the patience is running out amongst the people here in greece take your belt and leave that was the message from the protesters here today down 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 are seen as taking decisive action but there are questions really eva how much impact that money is going to have now currently the greek debt stands at around three hundred forty billion euro is and the germany very taking to extend the size and power of the bailout fund that would now stand four hundred forty billion euros of which over two hundred billion would be called cheated 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 cash just playing from that yet because there are still countries that have to fight and i take seventeen countries and i think that 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 easing leaders as a part of the problem that this whole year is a financial crisis and so they're asking how they can be the solution and also there's a lot of mistrust ted because the people here someone telling me today that this isn't a case of things getting worse month by month or week by week even. day by day things here getting worse for the people but tomorrow we're going to see that 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 they don't have the money anymore a lot of disappointment in the government we saw the protests and clashes break out

between the riot police and the protesters on tuesday often the filth the property tax was passed. certainly a lot of discontent still amongst these people say with the next round of money to be decided on next month and with the ballots being extended what people here is that it they're not really sure they will not cash they feel that the measures being taken at to harsh that is poisoning the patient say to speak and they don't know whether this bailout funds going to be medicine or to the country whether taking that money is going to be drinking from the poison chalice or to surface reporting there are now sticking with the same story politicians in greece are working hard to secure more bailout cash to avoid defaulting on its debt and remain in the currency union but as. socio of sociology professor enough and says it is no longer a question of if greece will default but rather how. i think that the big question

facing us today is not whether we are going to default but how we are going to default i mean all the measures taking by this throwing up by the european union the e.c.b. and the i.m.f. leads one way or the other to some sort of default some sort of moneths default but this is all this is going to be accompanied by newest even hans or or stare at the mess or some sort of social barbarism for example we had this summit meeting on july twenty first and there was all this hope that the new bailout package was on the way. come september and the black veil starts from the part of the european union concerning the last payments of the previews bailout package its bailout been accompanied by extremists terrorism is theirs and the demand for a complete fillets of state assets and then again more austerity more recession and

other devastation of the of the productive capacity of this country i mean this is a vicious circle something this must stop i think that as a society as a country we have the times to default on our own our own terms which means the immediate stop of payments to the death immediate exit of greece from the euro zone from the euro. across the atlantic the u.s. economy is also struggling but now president obama has found someone to point the finger of blame and that's directly at the democratic uprisings in the arab world but as ari rutenberg from the daily banter political blog says this rhetoric is no more than that mr action. oil has been a problem for a long time neither of 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 you know when this country is talking about the price of gasoline is their major economic problem right now 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 top this is very strange and i can't help but think that they have some pressure from somewhere else from without from outside of the white house and any attempt for him to appoint another direction. in terms of the problems that we're facing serious need of us direction either she knows what the problem is. and to get off the forces have taken the airport in the fugitive colonel home town of seared one of the last remaining khadafi strongholds reinforcements have been called in ready for a fresh assault in the face of stiff resistance civilians continue to flee the violence in the besieged city saying nato is only adding to their problems and i were activist and director of the answer coalition brian becker says that nato wants to establish a new regime in libya to make the country a puppet of western powers. clearly they're not protecting civilians when they're

bombing cities that are considered to be pro could offie when they're killing people not because they've done something wrong but because their own political beliefs are contrary to what nato wants in terms of the kind of government they want for libya so i think that they need to be brought to justice i think though unless there's a very strong international movement for human rights in this instance. i think it's unlikely they will be brought to court there is no sense of international justice whatsoever there's only a sense of what was called is called victor's justice in other words the courts become a political tool by those who have the power those who have the guns those who are carrying out the invasions and occupations not a measure of real legal accountability yes i think the goal of the nato powers is to carry out regime change so that the khadafy government is gone once and forever and that there will be

a new government that will not necessarily be more democratic or more humane but will be an ally or i would say in fact a proxy a client perhaps a puppet of western powers in this country that has the largest oil reserves in the world i think that real goal of the nato powers is that take control over libya's vast resources. and russia asks nato to stay neutral in the worsening conflict in another region stay with us for our reports on clashes in northern kosovo that's in just a few minutes right here on t.v. . the situation remains precarious on the kosovo serbian border as ethnic serbs refuse to dismantle roadblocks we have the latest from belgrade for your. consideration of the palestinian statehood bid has kicked off at the un security council as the application is sent on to the admissions committee at least nine of the fifteen members must say yes to approve palestine joining the international body america and it is still threatening to veto full recognition the european

parliament has endorsed of the palestinian quest for statehood calling the bid legitimate meanwhile israel has a yet again provoked criticism from much of the world community by authorizing even more settlers homes in disputed east jerusalem a senior fatah official told r.t. that the united states should stop giving israel preferential treatment. it's very important what the european are saying because. you're going to come through to other members of the security council and i think it's an important message for us that a president out of all of the european people saying loud and clear out of this move to the united nation is very legitimate and we hope that this will reflect itself on the voting by the european governments and but of to a lot of both france and britain the americans have asked us and the israelis do start of. the talks which we did the direct talks which we did in direct talks

which we did and they say let's have decided to end the freeze of settlements and what they're called the moratorium on this issue has totally bush the whole talks into a total collapse even by companies that has said that the jewish settlements in that but as an obstacle to peace they are not legitimate and so on we ask them today the european union the united states israel is announcing the seven months what are you going to do about it so i think this is the question for the entitlement community there israel is a breeze every day violating beside the months by evaluating international legitimacy violating all resolutions that are related to united nation the question is what is it that then the national community is doing about it we hope that the international community does not go into new to deal with this that aisle as this board could be a washington some european capitals and for more on the situation in the middle

east stay tuned for our tease interview with prominent academic and philosopher noam chomsky coming up in less than ten minutes. the situation in kosovo remains tense with ethnic serbs keeping their barricades in place and nato bringing more troops to the region rocky relations between serbia and kosovo plunged to a new low on tuesday as violence flared over the seizure of border posts and a dozen people were injured in these clashes. the reports from belgrade. for now this simmering tension has calmed down from about two days ago and when to stand that the situation still remains very tensed and potentially very much explosive as we understand that serbs are reinforcing their checkpoints their manmade checkpoints and the k. four and nato troops are pulling more soldiers to the front line to the place where the borderline where the place with where the clashes have been happening for the

past several months now on tuesday night another clash happened at the checkpoint at the course of a border of the quarter but the border between kosovo and serbia and this still a great deal of controversy surrounding this incident because the sides are playing a blame game and nobody knows who to blame for this attack while nato troops are saying that there was war the civil service who provoked the attack at the same time the nato troops are saying that they used rubber bullets and gas grenades and tear gas grenades against the 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 first that prishtina 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's against it this is been happening ever since july in fact ever sense of the cost of the police set up roadblocks on the border with. serbia and forcing a trade embargo preventing the. serbs living in the kosovo definitely area now remains in. the whole region has been very sharp responses on the international level with in particular the russian foreign minister saying that this particular this particular incident destabilizes the situation in the whole region and lead to very serious consequences. now if you missed something on

it is china's turn to stake a claim it to the stars as it launches its first orbiting laboratory. heavenly palace the unmanned facility will boost beijing's presence in orbit it will also test the waters ahead of china's plans for its own space station by the end of the decade you go to lisa. from the news of the cosmos magazine it believes that the countries that gone its own way after being banned from joining the i s s. china has been approaching it in space exploration program with few but very personally steps every launch for them is something new but for now they agree on 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.s.a.'s they were even refused 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 of the americans but will simply go their own separate way so this long it's just a first step to their own module based space station which they plan to start building in two thousand and eighteen. take a look at some other headlines making it world news at this hour. bahrain has handed to twenty medics in jail sentences about to fifteen years after convicting them of incitement to overthrow the government the group had treated protesters injured during clashes with security forces earlier this year in a separate case a protester has been sentenced to death for killing

r.t. sitting down with scholar author and mighty professor noam chomsky professor chomsky thank you very much for. to be with you you released a book recently. called nine eleven was there an alternative focusing on the u.s. assassination of osama bin laden and that continuity you say between george w. bush and barack obama the killing of us on that laudanum interesting case it was done in such a way as to in theory the pakistanis which is extremely dangerous it's the most

dangerous country in the world go into it but you have a professional army committed to the sovereignty of pakistan the pakistanis were already. overwhelmingly the american this shoots through the stratosphere the army is bitterly. green not only of the invasion of the country and murder someone out there are so loyal but also that they're being. pressured forced to take part in an american war in afghanistan some of the country 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

guantanamo or bob graham or some other torture chamber and 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 and kill them. bloodless us nation 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 a free hand didn't 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 us 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 a un membership and statehood the us says that they will cast if you go against it if they have there because they believe that their record low shisha should take place between house and israel before there is an independent palestine first of all i have to make a qualification of the united states and its western allies did not support the egyptian museum revolutions they opposed them they sit back the

winter is it was mostly france it's their call any fix going to egypt was the united states and they supported the dictators until the last minute and when. the army turned against them and it was no longer possible to support them then they said ok what democracy is wonderful and then they moved 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 announced that it would cast a veto 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 the us i tell out

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 is preferred it has for since your early seventy's it's had a choice between security and expansion can have teas 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 in the 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 don't have to comment on him but then they might as well

stick george bush to it to bring the message you do what the united states to. stop this nonsense about statehood and go back to negotiations that's why. it's up to the people industrial countries to compel the woman she go along with the world professor chomsky thank you very much for your time. very first verses of the bible to all human beings are created but sentimental came in god's image and it doesn't say just jews or not just. sixty to seventy percent of what i did as a combat soldier in the occupied territories was to do with the turds doing what we call making our presence felt to go out should some bozo they hear a knock on some doors run to the other corner invade another house religion and

nationalism not just judaism have been a part of the problem they've been part of what leads to. bloodshed if you want to bomb gaza and kill. a thousand four hundred people in a month and you want to expect that this will have no effect until a feat you have to be either extremely naive or extremely stupid you don't even need to hear a few religious jew calling another joke and not the way they really didn't. exist in nature and discover it. communicate with the wild and. test yourself and become free.
