it's 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 far tear gas at them 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 a halt greek airports were closed and hospitals are relying on emergency staff all artists are for reports now from athens with all the things on the streets of athens they syntagma square outside the main parliament building really ask. the tensions boiled a village the angry protesters and the riot police clashing we saw at a gas being fired we also saw some people needing medical attention the riot police moving on to the syntagma square and trying to clear the protesters out of that area really since very aggressive scenes of the clashes between the two sides that

we saw the police moving into the metro station chasing some of the protesters here on syntagma at the metro you working on strike and actually intervening to push back the riot police certainly a very very tense situation we see more and more these are starting measures being passed and that's really raised the level of public anger here at the beginning of the day the main labor parties in the country had led thousands of work is public sector workers on to the streets to protest against these measures and again like we said we saw these 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 crisis and to put measures in place that are actually realistic and can be met now what we've seen over the last couple of weeks is the 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 in their 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 are to about thirty percent of the salaries of who are being cut then to have these extra taxes it is really raise the level of anger amongst the public here he said they simply can't manage that now we've seen this all say quite disconcertingly spreading throughout the usa and from the sovereign debt quite is moving 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 at that time after we saw the collapse of lehman brothers you know it really was a key for that because we find ourselves back in the same situation certainly here in greece we've already seen it's really being downgraded by midis and this data from media said that that happened as a result of lack of trust in the year are you saying governments really that

sentiment could not be echoed any more clearly by the public here is others exactly how they feel they just lost trust in the u.s. any disability to get them out of this situation and is now really that we're going to see this meeting for the financial crisis into a very severe economic recession possibly not just because remember that the rest of the year is a countries as well. russia and china have vetoed a u.n. security council resolution on a syria the european backdraft called on damascus to end its crackdown on protesters or face quote targeted measures in moscow and beijing so they're concerned it could pave the way to a rebel style military intervention artie's body report by reports from new york russian 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 that called for syria to comply with the resolution within thirty days and that if it had 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 has one is one of many countries that has 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 your. draft resolution which was not passed today was based on an entirely different philosophy the philosophy of confrontation we cannot agree with its one sided accusations against damascus 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 a common serious national dialogue 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 security council did not bolt of atlee adopt the resolution moving forward russia and china said that they will be working on a resolution to gether that they say will be more balanced in the case. syria 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 anti-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 now the disagreement has split the security council but moscow is convinced its action is justified artistic of the integral trover explains it's a rare rare case that russia has used its power of veto since nine hundred eighty four it's been seven times only that russia turned to its last resort if you will and in case of syria russia felt it was necessary to be told that resolution to stop that scenario and yet another arab state similar to what happened in libya up

sure the u.n. mandate to protect civilians the resolution on e bay a was passed in march with russia abstaining from the vote but there monday it was quickly picked up by nato which sided with and to gadhafi forces 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 vowed not to let that happen again just as china russia as well the told me the only two permanent members of the un security council who are actively trying to negotiate a peaceful solution to the crisis russia in particular has hosted representatives of both president bashar al assad and members of the opposition trying to notch them into the dialogue and russia things that when you have two sides when you have two armed sides in a conflict what you need to do is to bring them both under the same tent while the whole issue of this resolution on a syria came up trip and estimated over two thousand five hundred protesters have

been killed in violent crackdowns on to 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 weapons fire and we could not very fly these small phone footage these are indeed president assad protested they do not look like the street is only calling the president to step down so what russia is saying that it is a cold flick where it's all because that violence has been carried out on both sides so if you only support one harmed side in that conflict you are you sending out biased message to one side in these cases to opposition forces a message of strong support which will only fuel more tension inside the country.

now president of the future freedom foundation jacob horn berger says that the motive behind washington's one sided approach to be events in syria is to get rid of the regime they once used to deal with. this notion that the u.s. is now part of this pro-democracy receipt regime is ridiculous they are jumping on that bandwagon as an opportunity to get out front of it and create this deceptive appearance while at the same time they're supporting the dictatorships that are aligned with them and the united nations and it's part of their empire and they look at libya they you know they go in there the old colonial powers you know are coming back to their house the on days of the empire france great britain and now the united states affecting a regime change and there is no price there's no upper limit on the number of people they're willing to kill to affect their every seam change there's another important factor to consider here too and that's the hypocrisy that the u.s.

government aligned itself and partnered self with the assad dictatorship you'll recall that that's where the cia rendition to make her a were are the canadian citizen that they rendition to syria for purposes of torture now where was the u.s. government and trying to help the syrian people suffering tyranny when they were partnering with that dictator to twitter this guy and we've seen this time and time again they used egypt the dictatorship there to torture people so there's a lot of hypocrisy here their quest is to put their people in charge in these in these regimes in order to expand their domain and control. and of course you can find more on all of our stories that are here are some of the other stories on. introduces chemical castration. for the increasing number of subscribers. you could read the whole story on our dot com. just plain silly one on lucky

faces charges of attempted espionage and trying to obtain information on russia's weapons are physical is going to pass the details authorities say that this is a chinese man who worked here in russia as a translator for official chinese delegations and now he's accused of trying to bribe his way into getting access to secret technical documentation all of the three hundred air defense systems the federal security service says no past is the case over to almost all order actually it's reported that he was arrested just around a year ago but it's not only know that the case has been passed over to board the story got into the media the moment there's been no official reaction either from the chinese authorities or from the foreign ministry here in moscow but it's interesting that russia used to explore the three hundred air defense systems to china because she's actually certified to produce them all and so. their production

here in russia has been recently fully suspended with the more modern and advanced four hundred and five hundred air defense systems taking place that was artie's you got the skin of reporting on the arrest of a suspected chinese spy in russia. now the british prime minister has called for a can do optimism during a quote actions time for the country's economy speaking to his conservative party david cameron said the threat to the world economy is a serious today as it was in two thousand and eight when a global recession loomed dresner it was a political speechwriter things that the prime minister was trying to divert public attention from the real issue. this morning he got himself into hot water by 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 early 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 plans 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 a home adoption things which are important to some people but which most people don't think are central to the political debate all in around five minutes time we visit the land where people still very much rely on beliefs and superstitions but before that all the latest in business with dimitri.

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 russia is taking a big hit during the latest market turmoil as investors pulled their cash out of riskier locations but analysts say if a double dip recession is avoided emerging markets will outperform other global indices emerging markets in general are much stronger fiscally they have much stronger growth that is expected in europe in the u.s. and corporations in emerging markets such as russia and elsewhere are also much stronger so you know i think that once for now investors are simply wrapped up on the concern that we could get a catastrophe if we can avoid the catastrophe which now looks more likely then i think once we settle down we will see more money coming back to emerging markets faster than developed markets. the latest market twists many investors scratching

their heads over where to put their money justin and steve are marilyn suggests infrastructure projects still over the prospect of some stability. when you look at a lot of infrastructure projects the attraction of them is they may be emerging markets but ultimately they are the gateway to global trade whether it's passenger traffic will freight traffic and i think a lot of investors see that as a charity i'm involved as of these projects so when we've probably saw as paul companies they tend to be gateways to global trade and therefore best to say i've invested in domestic infrastructure but most of us are going to globalization and the opening of that market to new investors new companies overseas so it's an interesting way to play an emerging market but also to to do risk it by investing in a company providing infrastructure to support both import and export trade. so you look at the markets now will is showing a significant bounce back its four and a half dollars in the blood for light sweet brant is up to one a half dollars that's after a report by u.s. gasoline stockpiles dropped five million barrels last week. move to u.s.

markets also positive after an index of no new manufacturing activity in september came and better than expected also automatic data processing reported u.s. companies added one thousand one thousand jobs in september which was better than expected ahead of a crucial jobs report which is due out on friday. this is the massively positive closing picture here in europe markets up bouncing back to see up three percent the dax four point nine percent so that's led by the financial sector banks some of the top gainers boychuk bank rose seven point four percent frankfurt and been peeper about climate eight and a half but said in paris. but the picture is different in russia where the r.t.s. said of the day point six percent down my six point two percent down after a very strong nosediving in the previous session a second ago the main movers on the my sex. energy shares are mixed gas from is down point nine percent growth next up one point two percent also financial didn't

manage to jump on that bandwagon of a rally fine. actual stocks burbank up just twenty four percent at the close he is on day about down from gasper. to russian market is not as good as european markets although without any particular reason for this fundamentally it is obviously a very bit of cheap pickups only greece and few other countries actually more cheap than russia and russia is a real to liquid market way merger markets but it's still very much dependent on oil and everything but in any way in any event it's award it's a risky emerging market certain people just want to play we even have the asset is we're at a reactive and cheap five business out see we'll be back in fifty five minutes time with an update sell see then join me thinking.
