and new measures mean berlin is now guaranteeing an astronomic contribution of two hundred eleven billion euros most analysts though agree that more must be done to prevent a highly anticipated greek default from shattering the euro zone new negotiators also returned to restart talks on future belo payments the government's last chance to evade a collapse wave this month but is are too sorry for the food for the group governments will work force austerity is running out. the patience is running out amongst the people here in greece take your belt 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 unemployed 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 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 the put in place are simply stifling them and 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 but 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 and the germany voting to extend the size and power of the bailout fund that would now stand at four hundred forty billion euros which over two hundred billion would be contributed by gen news already the single biggest contributor to that fund now we know that 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 say tonight it takes 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 assume. that davy that you're using lead is as

a part of the problem that this whole usa 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 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 day to 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 often the filth the property taxes cost that says a lot of discontent still among these people say with the next round of money to be decided on next month and with the ballots from being extended what people hear is

that is there nobody should 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. the maybe throwing billions at this to prop up its economy and create the appearance of stability but the greek crisis has now grown too big to be contained according to plan a plan your disappearance a 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 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 this is going to be accompanied by newest even hans or austerity measures some sort

of so somebody is with 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 blackmail starts from the part of the european union concerning the last payment of the previews bailout package it's bailout been accompanied by extremists terrorism is there's the demand for a complete state assets and then again more austerity more recession. 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 death immediate exit of greece from the euro zone from the euro member you can always find latest updates and developments on the

that was what we knew that change had come to egypt a new chapter of freedom and democracy don't judge a book by its cover when reading post mubarak egypt it's between the lines where you'll find the new chapter hasn't been published ended or slightly revised we still have the supreme council of the on pour so those are all orders i cannot say that they have been. in any sense giving this country towards democracy barak may be gone but his policies are not for hosni mubarak's case is ongoing at this tribe you know new figures from human rights watch claims more civilians have been forced to face military trial for the last six months some twelve thousand during the 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 skaf has come into power. actor

doesn't clown around when it comes to the supreme council or scuff he has taken part in protests since day one and still has scars from being detained because the burkes were much worse he said very long they told people they had to stick it hold me from it and after that i was shot for the struggle and beaten with bats on the head least only because i'm well known now most of the last leave the country for thirty years according to you know if i have to seek asylum but i want to stay and fight for freedom like mubarak skaf gets the support it needs to rule egypt from brawn to the aid that we get from the u.s. that one point five billion a year the easier krissy is from from the usa and most of it entirely goes to the to the supreme court to the to the army you know the scout and while the westboro.

history books will change for the better the arab spring is a massive opportunity to spread peace prosperity democracy egypt since our left reading the writing on the wall in many areas it's the same as before going to fare from in some areas is getting more worse and he's now a r t congress. with freedom and democracy still loose of in egypt the future for libya is also clouded in certainty. 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 coming up later this hour while libya's interim government struggles for full control of the country skepticism surrounding those who will benefit most from the revolution starts to creep in. the shadow of an eminent u.s. veto clouds of palestinian statehood bid at the u.n. security council as a yes vote looks all but certain. but first the standoff continues in northern

kosovo with local serbs reinforcing their barricades and nato calling in more troops to the region tense relations between serbia and kosovo plunged to a new low tuesday after nato forces tried to dismantle barricades leading to violent clashes with local serbs their own blocks were set up in july when kosovan authorities tried to seize the checkpoints to enforce a unilateral trade embargo or he's alexei or chefs he has more. 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 roads 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 and the k. four forces at the border checkpoint the border between kosovo and the serbian mainland and those clashes as far as one to stand a lot more than eleven people being taken to hospitals there's certain deal of controversy surrounding this incident with 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 cost of the police force decided to put up checkpoints in order to enforce some kind of training bargo to cut off the course of the serbs from the trade posts in the serbian mainland and the local. reacted by saying the barricades 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 possibly 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 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 serve the

needs of 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. like sarah show ski reporting there from kosovo where you can find all the latest stories on our website round the clock a click away at our team dot com here's what's online right now. if you missed the frankfurt motoshige motor show no worries just head on here to mosque our government officials managed to blow more than one hundred million dollars on luxury cars. at a police officer attacked by a muslim man in brussels after he demanded that the man's wife remove her veil full coverage at r.t.

dot com. libya's national transitional council says it won't form an interim government until the entire country's liberated and i could offer you forces have already taken the airport and the fugitive colonel's hometown of sirte one of the last remaining gadhafi strongholds reinforcements have been called in are ready for a fresh assault in the face of strong resistance to civilians continue fleeing violence in the besieged city anti-war activist and director of the am sort of brian becker thinks nato may only be adding to the country's problems. clearly they're not protecting civilians when they're bombing cities that are considered to be pro khadafi 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 and 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 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. the palestinian bid for statehood has made a strong start at the un security council with up to nine members are required

number to pass the vote promising support the bids already been forwarded to a special admissions committee for approval before a vote observers say at this stage it's that at this stage america is most likely to attempt to stall the process in an effort to avoid having to veto what 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 quest for statehood a legitimate target meanwhile israel has again provoked criticism from much of the world community after approving more settlements on occupied palestinian territory a senior official tells r.t. that unconditional u.s. support and aid are a major factor in the country's behavior. is very important to 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 the that it doesn't put the vote of the european people out of seeing glau done to 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 bought up to a lot of. france and britain the americans have. stopped. me to 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 and to go to put up stephen by companies that has said that the jewish settlements in the but as you know that there is an obstacle to beas the out of not legitimate them so on we ask them today the european union the united states the israelis 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 law. see violating all resolutions 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 continue to deal with israel as a spoiled kid of the a washington and some european capitals. palestine is putting high hopes on the un security council was peter lavelle and crosstalk yes but the organizations quote credibility into question the full program coming your way in the next hour here's a preview. if you it's a proposed hypothetical the tomorrow the united states of the united kingdom decide to go on the wall and the united nations security council doesn't give that you know there's a russia or china or whoever vetoing that particular decision then they decide to step so the united nations and go to war regardless what can the united nations do in reality they can do absolutely nothing and that is where the problem is we were absolutely i agree with you in time because if i don't know that i should like it. yeah because i do think before we become made to reduce this to a debate about whether colonialism still persists in attitude or fact one should

not neglect the other half the other three quarters of the united nations which is doing humanitarian aid around the world where the united nations is the central organizing mechanism for the delivery of food aid for famine for post war conflict . blaggard the u.n. using the security council as the only face of the u.n. whatever one's view is that it's a real reductionism i. i . i. election fever is due to grow up russia with december's parliamentary vote followed by the presidential runoff and 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 with 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 party in our country's history as well as other countries that's what's happened more than once anything can happen there's no predetermination let the citizens decide who has more authority it's our people who decide our citizens are able to highlight the key points either by voting for a candidate or a party or by turning them down that's what democracy is about. watch the full interview with president dmitry medvedev later today on r.t. . it's china's turn to stake a claim to the stars as a launch as first orbiting laboratory dubbed the heavenly palace the facility has successfully entered orbit the large or stay in space for it is marking the first step. for its own space station by two point one for science investment consultant thinks the country has the means to quickly with russia and. it's all 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 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 flair 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. 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 it's a really interesting question and it's as much political or scientific the answer that question. taking a look now at some other stories making headlines across the globe up to one hundred thousand students have clashed with police in the chile's capital demanding education reform protests now in their fifth month have closed universities and some secondary schools student and government leaders will continue talks toward a solution wednesday the protesters say demand is up to government in terms of
