emergency bailout fund the new measures mean berlin now personally guarantees an astronomic contribution of two hundred eleven billion euros most analysts though agree that has a yet has to be yet more has to be done to prevent a highly anticipated greek default from shattering the euro zone you news readers also return to athens for restart talks on more bailout payments the government's last chance to evade a collapse later this month but as our piece our first reports the fuel for the greek government for low cost austerity entrance you can quickly running out. of patience is running out amongst the people here in greece take your bat 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 an employee due to the government's austerity measures as one of the implementations that they've put in place to try and secure that bailout cash the eight billion that's going to be decided on later next month

you can see the ban is that the ban on the finance ministry itself saying we want life that people have 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 still 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 questions really eva how much impact that money is going to have the kind of need the greek debt stands at around three hundred forty billion euro and the germany voting to extend the size and power of the bailout fund that would now be full hundred forty billion euros of which the two hundred billion would be contributed by germany was already the single biggest contributor to that fund though we know that that's caused some discontent among the german public. and now we're not been

a cash just claim from that yet because there are still countries that have today 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 that you're using 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 ted 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 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 filth the

property tax was passed that certainly a lot of discontent still amongst these people say with the next round of money to be decided on next month then with the ballot being extended what people hear is that if 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 into the country or whether taking that money is going to be drinking from the poison chalice and while the e.u. throws billions at i things to prop up its economy and create the appearance of stability it's no longer an issue of whether greece will default but when according to petty officer tira so sociology professor in athens. 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 that is to be on the i.m.f. lead one way or the other to some sort of default some sort of moneths default but this new fault is going to be accompanied by newest even concert or stare at the mess or some sort of so somebody is for example we had this summit meeting on july twenty first and there was all this hope that the new a bailout package that was on their way. come september and the black veil starts from the part of the european union concerning the last payment of the previews bailout package its bailout been accompanied by. terrorism is theirs and the demand for a complete 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 does a society as a country we have the times to default on our own our own terms which means

immediate stop of payments to the debt immediate exit of greece from the euro zone from the euro. member you can find latest updates and developments on in greece and the euro crisis just moments after they happen on our twitter stream at twitter dot dot com slash r t underscore calm. hoping it will attract people dissatisfied with.

entire thirty year rule of mubarak average civilians are giving five to you know seven years in prison a lot of torture has occurred since scaf has come into power. actor ali simply doesn't clown around when it comes to the supreme council or scaf he has taken part in protests since day one but i still have scars from being detained. much worse he said very long they told people they have to stick at home is very much wood from the time of that i was shot through the stun gun that beat him with the baton ahead least only because i'm well heard now must not leave the country for thirty years according to if i have to seek asylum i do want to stay and fight for freedom like mubarak's kaftans to support it needs to rule egypt from the ground that aid that we get from the u.s. that one point five billion

most from the revolution to prevent. the shadow of an eminent u.s. veto clouds the palestinian statehood bid at the u.n. security council has a yes vote looks all but certain. but first the standoff continues in northern kosovo with local serbs are reinforcing their barricades and nato bringing more troops to the region tense relations between serbia and kosovo plunged to new depths on tuesday after nato forces tried to dismantle barricades causing violent clashes with serbs the road blocks were set up in july when kosovo authorities tried to seize checkpoints to enforce a unilateral trade embargo artie's alexei or chefs he explains from the epicenter of the unrest. now i'm standing beside one of the manmade barricades one of the manmade checkpoints created by the kosovo destined to cart off both the k. four and the cost of police forces from the serbian part of the village as you can

see it is pretty calm now here with people sitting by the fire waiting for something to happen being on guard every minute but there are certain indications that the tension is mounting in here in this region with both the course it was reinforcing their checkpoints these piles of sand they put here to block the road look quite fresh and we also have information that from the local from the local people here reporting that the nato forces are pulling additional troops to this site almost every day now this comes just less than forty eight hours after simmering tensions here lots of clashes between the course of us and the case for forces at the border checkpoint the border between kosovo and the serbian mainland and those clashes as far as when the stand led to more than eleven people being taken to hospitals there are certain deal of controversy surrounding this incident with the nato pointing finger at the course was for provoking this incident at the

same time saying that it had to use rubber bullets against the attackers and gas grenades as well at the same time we have information from the local hospitals and from different medical sources around the region that all the people who were injured in these clashes were delivered to hospitals carrying gunshot wounds but here last since july when the coastal police force decided to put up checkpoints in order to enforce some kind of trade in bargo to cut off the course of the serbs from the trade posts in the serbian mainland and the local cost of serbs reacted by saying the barricades the man made barricades around the border and certainly the clashes have been happening here ever since this situation has. pretty much worried belgrade which has come up with a very stern response to the events happening here at the border of serbia a possible delays is the events in the north of serbia show two facts first that prishtina is about to set up customs around what they think is the independent

state of course of on the other hand they show that there are international unions and a whole number of states the deprived of such intentions of prishtina so we are facing a situation here when international forces deployed in kosovo in fact soon the needs on instead of maintaining a neutral position this is why serbia is against it the events here of course also cause very loud international reaction with the russian foreign ministry expressing its deep concerns over what is happening here saying that it may be may seem to be a very little dispute but in fact it could destabilize the situation in the region which is already been subjected to a great deal of stress and it's already a melting pot. you can find all our latest stories around the clock at r.t. dot com here's what's a click away right now. a police unit in moscow reprimanded after failing to test failing a test to spot a fake bomb planted on the underground system at our website learn how russian

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 and then go on the nato powers is to carry out regime change so that the khadafy government is gone once and for ever 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 all of africa the ninth largest oil reserves in the world i think that real goal of the nato powers is that take control over libya's vast resources which we know are a great treasure. consideration over the palestinian statehood bid has kicked off

at the un security council if 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 united states is still threatening to veto all recognition european parliament has endorsed the palestinian request for statehood calling the bid legitimate meanwhile israel has again provoked criticism from much of the world community by authorizing even more settler homes in disputed east jerusalem a senior official tells our team united states should stop giving israel preferential treatment. it's very important what the 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 there both of the european people are saying loud and clear out of this move to the united nation is very legitimate and we hope this will reflect itself on the voting by the european governments and bought up to a lot of both france and britain the americans have. stopped.

talks which we did to the direct talks which we did the talks which we did. have decided to end the freeze of settlements and what they've called the moratorium on this issue has totally bush the whole talks into total collapse even by companies that has said that jewish settlements in the butt as an obstacle to peace they are not legitimate and so on we asked them today the european union the united states israel is announcing the southern months and what are you going to do about it so i think this is the question for the entitlement community there is. a value lifting the months by evaluating international legitimacy value lifting all. related to united nation the question is what is it that the national community is doing about it we hope that the international community does not going to do it to deal with this that i as

compete for a second term outlined his view on what the election means for russia as he spoke to the country's major media outlets. it's up to the citizens to elect. the truth any politician can use an election with his political. history as well as other countries. anything can happen. determination let the citizens decide who has more authority people who. are able to highlight the key points either by the candidates or a party. that's what democracy is about do you. watch the full interview with russian president dmitry medvedev later today on r t. well it's china's turn to stake a claim to the stars as the largest as first orbiting laboratory the heavenly palace the unmanned facility has successfully entered around orbit the module in space for two years marking the first step in china's players for its own space station by

two thousand and twenty four scientists and science investment consultant thinks the country has the means to. be very much the first step in china's plans to establish a presence with the space station in orbit it's very simple at the moment this all the drum is going to be there for at least two years and china's intention at the moment is to send up a manned spacecraft later this year which will dock with it and show that the really is a capability for a sophisticated space program that china can put in place and i think china has the determination and probably the technical ability to catch up with the u.s. and with russia very very quickly indeed and certainly if they can demonstrate the ability as they seem to want to to put

a space station in orbit by the end of the decade then that will certainly be a very very strong indicator of how much technical progress china has been able to make we've seen the u.s. space program winding down in the last few months the last shuttle flight the u.s. is saying that they're not intending at least as far as nasser is concerned to put another. bring in another man and launch vehicle until i think it's two thousand and seventeen so is it possible that china could come into the international space station program or is this an indication that china sees an opportunity to establish an independent presence in space and then perhaps invite other partners on board so really interesting question it's as much political or scientific the answer that question. stories making headlines across the globe. two hundred thousand students have clashed with police in the chilean capital demanding
