many people have the greece's economy now a risk of having not only a financial but it democratic deficit as well. it's a. good thing in athens where the e.u. may be throwing billions to prop up us economy and create the appearance of stability but the greek crisis has grown too big to be contained according to. 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 taken by this throw a compromise the european union the is a b. and b. i.m.f. . one way or the other to some sort of default some sort of moneths default but this newspoll is going to be accompanied by newest even in concert austerity measures some sort of social go to go to for example we called the summit meeting

on july twenty first and there was all this hope but i knew a bailout package was on the way. down september and the black pain starts from the part of the european union concerning the last payment of the previews bailout package it's bailout be not company it's by extremists terrorism is there is the demand for a complete state assets and then again more us there to do more research and. devastation of the of the productive capacity of this country i mean this is a vicious circle something this must i think about as a society as a country we have the chance to default on our own our own terms which means immediate stop of payments to the debts immediate exit of greece from the euro zone from the euro whenever you can get the latest updates and developments on greece and the euro crisis only moments after they happen on our twitter stream that's

kosovo with local serbs reinforcing their barricades and nato calling in more troops to the region tense relations between serbia and kosovo plunged to new depths tuesday after nato forces tried to dismantle barricades causing violent clashes with local serbs the road blocks were set up in july when kosovan authorities tried to seize checkpoints to enforce a unilateral schrade embargo artie's alexei or chesky has more. now i'm standing beside one of the manmade barricades one of the manmade checkpoints created by the consul was destined to cart off both the k four and the cost of the 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. 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 it was and the case for forces at the border checkpoint and border between kosovo and the serbian mainland and those clashes as far as we're understanding led to more than eleven people being taken to hospitals there's certain deal of controversy surrounding this incident with the nato pointing finger after 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 tear 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 it's just been here last since july when because

the police force decided to put up checkpoints in order to enforce some kind of trade embargo to cut off the cost of the service from the trade posts in the serbian mainland and the local cost of a service reacted by punching the barricades the man made barricades around the border and certainly the clashes have been happening here ever since this. situation has pretty much word belgrade which has come up with a very stern response to the events happening here at the border of course there were. reports of the latest events in the north of serbia show two facts first impression is about to set up customs around what they think is the independent state of course and on the other hand they show that there are international unions and a whole number of states they did prove of such intentions and pushed enough we are facing a situation here when international forces deployed in kosovo in fact the needs of push leena instead of maintaining a neutral position and 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. archies alexia show us your reporting for us from kosovo or you can find all of our stories and plenty more online at r.t. dot com here's what's a click away right now. if you missed the frankfurt motor show no worries just head on here to moscow where officials managed were government officials managed to blow more than one hundred fifty million dollars on a luxury car. at a police officer attacked by a muslim man in brussels after he demanded that the man's wife was moved from dale i thought coverage of this story and more at r.t. dot com.

libya's national transitional council says it won't form an interim government until the whole country is liberated and i could offer you forces have already taken the airport the fugitive colonel's hometown of sirte one of the final remaining gadhafi strongholds reinforcements were called in ready for a fresh assault in the face of strong resistance as civilians continue for me into the siege city anti-war activist and director of the coalition brian becker says nato 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 then go into nato powers is to carry out regime change so that that could be 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 of puppet 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 have made has made a strong start at the u.n. security council with up to nine members are 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 at this stage it's at this stage the us is most likely to try to stall the process in an effort to avoid having to veto what critics say such a move could be a big blow to the country's credibility as a mediator among the international bodies endorsing the bid is the european parliament but calls the palestinian quest for statehood a legitimate target meanwhile israel has been provoking criticism from much from the world community after proving more settlements on occupied palestinian territory a senior official tells r.t.e. unconditional us support and aid are a major factor in the country's behavior. it's very important what the european are saying because. european countries are actually members of the security council and i think it's an important message for us that their representative of the european people are saying loud and clear out of this move to the united nation as very legitimate and we hope that this will reflect itself on the voting by the european

governments and by the people of. france and britain the americans have asked us and the israelis to start proximity talks which we did a direct talks which we indicted close 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 in two thousand perhaps even back companies that has said that the jewish settlements in the palestinian territories are 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 start of months and what are you going to do about it so i think this is the question for the international community there israel is every is every day violating besides the months by evaluating international legitimacy by you lifting all resolutions that is related to united nations the question is what is it that the international community is

doing about it we hope that the international community does not continue to deal with israel as a spoiled kid of the of washington and some european capitals. palestine is putting i hopes on the u.n. security council artie's peter lavelle and his cross guests are putting the organization's credibility under scrutiny that full program coming your way i love and g.m.t. here's a preview. the fillets of propose a hypothetical but some more of the united states of the united kingdom the sites to go on the wall and the united nations security council doesn't give that you know there's the russia or china or whoever vetoing that particular decision then they decide to step so the united nations and go to war regardless what the united nations do in reality they can do absolutely nothing not and that is where the problem is we were absolutely i agree with you inside if it's all done without it i guess you like it keep it yeah because i do think before we become it to reduce this to a debate about whether colonialism still persists in attitude or fact one should
