of the. top stories on our team the greek police used tear gas to clear out yesterday protesters as a country is paralyzed by nationwide strike against new budget cuts and higher taxes he's seen tensions boiling a all in the streets about then as the riot police and angry protesters clash we'll bring you all the latest information in just a few maybe in. russia and china vetoed a u.n. resolution against syria saying the european backed document could move towards serious conflict instead of something like. the wall street rallies across the u.s. or reinforced by unions joining the clamor over the forefront of the demonstrators
1:01 pm
say has led to the collapse of the economy. u.s. markets are up and europe is gaining more oil is bouncing back but russia still manages to continue its losing streak one thousand and twenty minutes on the business. is just after nine pm here in the russian capital this is r.t. in athens now angry protesters have been clashing with police who have fired tear gas up thousands have been gathering outside the greek parliament furious at the level of spending cuts and the twenty four hour public sector strike brought the country to one halt week airports were closed and hospitals are relying on emergency stuff a large these are for reports now from. the scenes on the streets this day in fact it's clear outside the main parliament building with the escalating tensions pulled
1:02 pm
a village the i. we protested and the riot police clashing we saw at a gas being fired we also saw some people needing medical attention the riot lease moving on season tightness where trying to clear the protesters out of that area really sent very aggressive scenes of the clashes between the tea sides that we saw the police moving into the match a station chasing some of the protesters here on syntagma the match a work is on strike and actually intervening to push back the riot police certainly a very very tense situation we see more of these are starting measures being passed not really raise the level of public anger head out at the beginning of the day the main labor parties in the country have let thousands of work is public sector workers on to the streets to protest against these measures and again like we said we saw days things that escalating quite dramatically throughout the day people are really losing trust in the eurozone leaders ability to take the country out of this
1:03 pm
crisis and to put measures in place that are actually realistic and can be met now we've seen over the last couple of weeks is that they quit government passing more and more these are starting measures to try and keep the international lenders on side to try and prove to them that they're able to take these steps to try and plug the deficit and that budget the property tax that we saw passed last week and the announcement of possible job losses on top of people already in the country having had the salaries cut dramatically most people at about thirty percent of the salaries who are being cut and have these extra taxes it is really raised the level of anger amongst the public here he said they simply can't manage that now we've seen this to say quite disconcertingly spreading throughout the years and from the sovereign debt crisis needing now into the banking sector as well and there are fears of a repeat of what we saw a couple of years back and you know once again we're hearing what people are saying is the steps in the measures that were put in place and that. time off to be saw
1:04 pm
the collapse of lehman brothers you know really what was a key for that because we find ourselves back in the same situation certainly here in greece they've already seen it's really being downgraded by midis and this data from media said that happened as a result of lack of trust in the year you think governments really bad sentiment could not be echoed any more clearly by the public here is others exactly how they feel they just lost trust in the euro is a disability to get them out of this situation and is now really they were going to see this meeting for the financial crisis into a very severe economic recession possibly not just the greece of and the rest of the year easing countries as well. russia and china have vetoed a u.n. security council resolution on a syria the european called of damascus to end its crackdown on protesters or face quote targeted measures from moscow and beijing so they are concerned it could pave the way to a military intervention are these many report by reports from new york russian
1:05 pm
ambassador to the united nations vitaly churkin said the draft was too one sided he described the resolution as a confrontational approach taken by the european delegation and against the peaceful settlement to the crisis now this draft resolution was proposed by france with the support of portugal the u.k. and germany but the one part of the text that many countries seem to disagree with was that called for syria to comply with the resolution within thirty days and it is not complied then the council would quote consider its options including unspecified quote measures many council members including china russia brazil south africa interpreted these vague terms as leaving the door open to sanctions now of course russia is one. is one of many countries that has
1:06 pm
been opposed to international sanctions against syria ambassador churkin says moscow believes the violence should be stopped through internal reforms and political dialogue not external sanctions or military intervention such as the case of libya you put in you see what you wrote with a draft resolution which was not much today was released on an entirely different philosophy the philosophy of confrontation we cannot agree with its one sided accusations against the mask we believe the threat of implementing sanctions against the syrian government is unacceptable this approach contradicts the principle of a peaceful settlement of the crisis based on common serious national guard should brazil india south africa and lebannon abstained from voting on the resolution but it was the united states that voiced extreme disappointment that the
1:07 pm
security council did not alternately adopt the resolution moving forward russia and china said that they will be working on a resolution to gather that they say will be more balanced in the case of syria but now we do know that some council members wanted not only the syrian government condemned for the violence but also a condemnation against all the airtight government protesters that may have been inflaming the violence that has been breaking out over the course of six months but that is a measure that the europeans did not want included in this resolution. well the veto by russia and china follows three months of heated debate in new york as a disagreement has split the security council but moscow is convinced its action is justified are physically no draft over explains the it's a rare rare case that russia has used its power of veto since nine hundred eighty
1:08 pm
four it's been seven times only that russia sure into its last resort if you will and in case of syria russia felt it was necessary to be told that resolution to stop a scenario in yet another arab state similar to what happens in libya up to the u.n. mandate to protect civilians the resolution on libya was passed in march with russia abstaining from the roads on monday it was quickly picked up by nato which sided with and to be dealt with through or says helping them to topple the tunnel and russia believes that in case of v.b. at the un mandate was misused and this is why it has not to let that happen again just as china russia as well the will be the only two prominent members of the u.n. security council who are actively trying to negotiate a peaceful solution to the crisis rashid particular as opposed to representing the so-called president bashar al assad as numbers all of the opposition finds a notch them into the dialogue and russia things that when you have two sides when
1:09 pm
you have two armed sides in a complex what you need to do is to bring them both sides of the same tent while the whole issue all this resolution on the syria came up our trip and estimated over two thousand five hundred protesters have been killed in violent crackdowns on anti assad forces since march this year at vishal damascus claims that it's only fighting subuh tours who've been killing their security offices and hundreds r.t.d. has obtained a video footage which allegedly shows that those at and t. outside protesters are actually carrying weapons and use. those were inspiring we could not see very quiet these small phone footage these are indeed president us up with just as they did not look like rita's bullet hole in the president to step down so it was she's saying that it is a cool flick where it's all because the violence has the carried out on both sides
1:10 pm
so if you only support one armed side in that conflict you are you sending it wisest message to one side in this case to opposition forces a message of strong support which will only fuel more tension inside the country. now president of the future of freedom foundation jacob hornberger says that the motive behind washington's one sided approach to be a grass in syria is to get rid of the regime we once used to deal with. this notion that the u. has is now part of this pro-democracy receive regime is ridiculous they are jumping on that ban reagan is an opportunity to get out front of it and create this deceptive appearance while at the same time there's importing the dictatorships that are aligned with them and the united nations and it's part of their empire and i mean look at libya you know they go in there the old colonial powers you know harkening back to their house the on days of the. france great britain and now the
1:11 pm
united states affecting a regime change and there is no prize there's no proper limit on the number of people they're willing to kill to affect their regime change there's another important factor to consider here to announce the hypocrisy that the us government aligned itself and partnered itself with the assad dictatorship you'll recall that that's where the cia rendition made her a where are the canadian citizen they rendition which is syria for purposes of torture now where was the us government in trying to help the syrian people suffering charity when they were partnering with a dictator to torture this guy and we've seen this time and time again they used in egypt the dictatorship there to torture people so there's a lot of hypocrisy here their quest is to put their people in charge unis in these regimes in order to expand their domain and in control. and of course you can find more on all of our stories at our team dot com and here are some of the other

releasing an earlier draft of the speech which actually asked people to spend as opposed to the draft he gave in which he said that people were already reducing their credit card bills and that only draft didn't go down well firstly people don't like the idea of a rich prime minister telling them to tighten their belts secondly economists have pointed out that if people save money that's not going to help the economy going and all in all it's not clear that tactic is going to win him any friends with the public one tactic that i saw running through the speech was an attempt to draw attention towards peripheral things his government is doing he can't talk about the n.h.s. because his hands are in disarray you can't talk about the economy it's tanking we've just had bad figures out today instead he talked about gay marriage building homes adoption things which are important to some people but which most people don't think are central to the political debate. now in around five minutes time we

visit the land where people still very much rely on police and superstitions but before that all the way to send this message dmitri. welcome to the program the russian markets closed in the red adding to three sessions of heavy losses that's despite stronger crude prices and a significant bounce back in europe but has taken a big here during the latest market turmoil as investors pull their cash out of riskier locations but analysts say if a double dip recession is appointed emerging markets will outperform other global in the sense. the emerging markets in general are much stronger fiscally they have much stronger growth that is expected in europe in the us and corporations in emerging markets such as russia and elsewhere are also much stronger so you know i think that it's once for now investors are simply wrapped up on the concerns that
