as here on r t our top story kicked into action by a market panic unseen since the financial crash in two thousand and eight germany's government scrambled to approve on massive expansion of the use emergency bailout fund new measures mean berlin now personally guarantees and astronomic contribution of two hundred eleven billion euros most analysts though agree that yet has to be more has to be done to prevent the highly anticipated greek default from shattering the euro zone new negotiators also return to restart on talks on more bailout payments to governments last chance to evade a collapse later this month but it's hard to sorrow for its reports the fuel for the greek government well close austerity engine may be running out. the patience is running out amongst the people here in greece take your bag out and leave that was the message from the protesters than 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 the people here a feeling that the measures that the put in place a simply stifling them and that realistically that is too high a price to pay say it is to see a different reaction to the positivity we still after that positive faith in germany but there are questions really eva how much impact that money is going to have the kind of the 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 cultivated by germany was already the single biggest contributor to that fund that we know that that's close to some discontent among the general public right now in that the new you can. just playing from that yet because there are

still countries that have to say tonight it takes seventeen countries and as he said the way that that's being received ten amongst the public is with some skepticism they said a lot of people are saying that they view the usa leaders as a part of the problem of this whole usa financial crisis so they're asking how they can be the solution and also there's a lot of mistrust hit because the people here 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 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 tuesday often the filth the

property taxes pos. certainly a lot of discontent still amongst the people say with the next round of money to be decided on next month and with the event being extended what people here 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 say to speak and they don't know whether this bailout funds going to be medicine will to the country or whether taking that money is going to be drinking from the poison chalice the you may be throwing billions of athens to prop up its economy and create the appearance of stability but the greeks are using but the greek crisis has now grown too big to be contained according to pentagon a satirical sociology professor in. 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 it's a b. and b. i.m.f. lead one way or the other to some sort of default some sort of moneths default but these days all this is going to be accompanied by newest even concert or stare at the mess or some sort of so symbolic but 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 blackmail starts from the part of the european union concerning the last payment of the previews bailout package its bailout be not companions by. stare at them is there's 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 that 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 i mean you can find latest updates and developments on greece and the euro crisis just moments after they happen on our twitter stream site twitter dot com slash r t underscore com. gyptian is are bracing themselves for more mass protests friday hoping it will attract millions of people dissatisfied with the way their country is being run

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 close of us and the careful forces at the border checkpoint the border between kosovo and the serbian mainland and those clashes as far as when to stand led to more than eleven people being taken to hospitals there's certain deal of controversy surrounding this incident with nato pointing finger at the course of the serbs 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 cost of the police force decided to put up checkpoints in order to enforce some kind of trade embargo to cut off the. from the trade posts in the serbian mainland and the local cost of a service reacted by saying the barricades 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. post the latest 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 we are facing a situation here when international forces deployed in kosovo in fact the needs of pristina instead of maintaining a neutral position this is why serbia's 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. artie's alexei or show ski reporting from kosovo where you can access all our stories on our website around the clock just log on to our t. dot com here's what's a click away right now. a russian politician finds that government officials managed to spend more than one hundred fifty million dollars on luxury cars just three years. as a police officer attacked by

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 and the goal of 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 palestinian bid for statehood has made

a strong start at the un security council with up to nine members the required number to pass the vote promising their support the bids already been forwarded to a special admissions committee for approval before a vote observers say that it's at at this stage that the us is most likely to attempt to stall the process in an effort to avoid having to veto it critics say such a move could be a blow to its credibility as a mediator among the international bodies endorsing the bid is the european parliament which called the palestinian statehood request a legitimate target meanwhile israel as again pro criticism from much of the world community after approving more settlement construction on occupied palestinian territory a senior official tells our teeth that unconditional us support and aid are a major factor in israel's behavior. it's very important what the you will be 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 of the european people saying loud and clear out of that this

move to the united nation is very legitimate and we hope that this will reflect itself on the vaulting by the european governments and but of to a lot of both france and britain the americans have asked us and the israelis to start of. the talks which we did the direct talks which we did the indicted talks which we did. 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 the 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 southern months and what are you going to do about it so i think this is the question for the entitlement community there is. every day violating the months by evaluating international

legitimacy violating all resolutions that are related to united nation the question is what is it that the international community is doing about it we hope that the international community does not contain you to deal with this that i as a spoiled kid of the. some european capitals palestine is putting high hopes on the u.n. security council artie's peter lavelle and cross talk gas but the organizations credibility into question for program coming up at seven am g.m.t. here's a preview. united nations the global body in search of a mission. in effect if the u.n. is also accused of being a fig leaf protecting and extending the interests of the rich powerful. most see the need for form at the u.n. to serve the interests of all.

parliamentary vote followed by the presidential runoff in march next year president medvedev who does not plan to 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 and those are just words it's the truth any politician can lose an election along with his or her political. history as well as other countries that's what's happened if. anything can happen there's a determination that the citizens decide who has. its own people who. are able to highlight the key points either by candidates or a party. that's what democracy is about. full interview with me coming up later today on our team. strainers turn to stake a claim to the stars as

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. to 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 interest. question it's much political
