to deny spying allegations in a british court but admits she did have an affair with a married m.p. . and in business russia and most to see i asked heartless and agreed to create a free trade zone in twenty two minutes. it's nine pm here in moscow watching our two international with me having no internet on our top story in athens arguably the biggest protest in years has descended into violence today greeks have been venting their anger against a new package of austerity measures likely to be adopted as soon as thursday the first. of the riot police still leaving the remaining protest is that the hair on the type of the square but nowhere near the amount of people we saw they were. and

hundreds of thousands turned out is the biggest prize has sustained since the beginning of the financial crisis and we saw more of these violent clashes that we've seen before but i really i can't quite describe see i mean i'm sure you've seen it it is by now the scenes that we saw here at the station where the violent clashes broke out you can still think is very dark at the moment there are a lot of riot police still on the streets we do have the sort of. irakis movements that remain on the streets here they're still having those run ins with the riot place because i think they've managed to calm the situation a lot but as we said scenes of devastation just devastation on the streets of athens the street is just been destroyed they had a lot of the buildings on fire earlier although when they fronts have been smashed there was a very large me east meet and they were saying you know they're trying to live under these conditions are watching their parents struggle in his job losses in the country with these continuing tax hikes incredibly hard thing to say this is

a country in the future that they're going to inherit you know it's very concerning earlier when we saw the chaotic situation very very quickly these things always escalate quite fast just the sheer number of children that we're seeing a sixteen seventeen years old i think and they're telling us think they felt the obligation to fight this battle is all and it really is a puzzle here they would pass through scenes that we saw earlier today as the violence broke out and very disturbing indeed and coups really now for years they needed to find a different approach to criticism right from the start has been that they it's with that to the situation that the year is in crisis we've heard analysts saying that they believe the rhetoric they didn't think that a crisis would ever happen in the usa and it did and the institutions in the mechanisms to deal with it has simply not been in place and say tonight we're still seeing a small outbreaks of the tensions bubbling a people saying they simply have enough they. work under these conditions any more

and they want things to. sarah ferguson just a bit earlier no you get up to the minute it was right from grease on sarah's twitter pages she follows the protests sweeping outwards and with your expressed economic and political minds failing to get the greek economy back on track we're asking you what you think could be the way out of this big old mess tonight submit your votes on the art dot com home page this is would be telling us so far thanks for the if you have almost half of you advise our friends to follow america's footsteps and occupy all rich region they have somewhat tongue in cheek over a third say it's up to the greeks to work harder and spend less nine percent believe greece needs to go cap in hand for the e.u. would plead for help while a small number about the idea of the country selling or mortgaging part of its territory to escape economic collapse what you think is best way forward our team dot com is the place to have your say. no to it later in the program we'll be continuing our coverage from the united states as well which is of course overwhelmed by those anti wall street protests.

i guess peaceful demonstrators drive the even more discontented protesters out onto the streets but more details about that report for you also the story of a miraculous escape for a modern day robinson crusoe discovery by chance there is the man who fought for his life in the wilderness for over two weeks. ethnic serbs in northern kosovo say under no conditions or they dismantle the barricades at the border with internal baling customs officials and police are gone from the checkpoints that says nato extends the deadline for the really are also made to insisting protesters clear the roadblocks or face action from the alliance riff an option is in the region for us really hard line. well then it's a lot of running conflict they will have expectations actually before today's meeting all because conservatives and then he would chase for it to let pete keating protein called and i could finally preen

a long way to solution but unfortunately no we would have been found first the hands of the not in counseling any politician came to the times and found a good barricade was only believed and the road in the northern council i will only be reopening when then comes to mentally competent he walking have a checkpoint i could do it weeks european involved leave the area don't recognise the golden people to them between two calls to the proper boat and they will never accept customs here for all to try for almost three months already they've been blocking the main route fraught culturally to prevent regions ethical to any leadership from extending its control over the part of the key for us to provide the movement félix as well european fully functioning in the region from the third rejected during the meeting. for that as.

leaders. told us before left the meeting time this is how the top actually top two thousand any solution without any resolution we know that the case for want it would take action its terms don't remove a very case from the main road it doesn't call any time soon and one month before you try to use force we plot hate to use drop of bullets and tear gas against protesters injuring at least seven to village. and. told us that we cannot predict anything i think that means there's actually. a high chance that we can see violence at the border and at the barricades from. well i think if you want to keep up to date with the very latest on this story maria's online and artie's twitter page posting the latest developments as they happen in kosovo you can find they would r.t. underscore com to be sure it goes in russia's envoy to nato explains why the local

be watching r.t. from moscow fighting across syria is claiming lives on both sides of the growing global concerns the countries edging closer to a full blown civil war over a dozen troops have been killed recently by alleged army defectors following a un or warning of more opposition activists taking up arms results he's test recent reports blame still being placed firmly on assad's regime. this is the office of the trader reads one of the messages on the wall israel and the u.s. were able to buy you with a thousand dollars says another. this is where several opposition leaders work like a bill as is and hire he had been a vocal critic and had spent fourteen years in jail a very bad time he recalls like many opposition members he thinks there's really

very little room for reconciliation under the current environment. because troops must meet with their graphics clear voices in the regime like no. listening to people. he insists peaceful protesters were forced to respond to attacks by security forces and the acknowledges that now it's simply not black and white responsibility for the violence goes both ways with. us killing civilians some civilians killing. soldiers lay our son was one of the first soldiers killed since protests began in the country he was killed in data on march twenty three. or four immediate knowledge that too many of the army and national guards have lost their lives so how can some people see that on groups to exist he

could next the civilians and only members like my son how could all mean members kill other members this is impossible the media that says it is plainly lying. and therein lies the problem the moment. there is confusion about what's really done information is taken by each side and used to defend their position so if you hear only arguments from one side you'll likely believe that i made this atmosphere of confusion and misinformation because for reforms continues what surrendering very forms this is another question whenever a new legislation is made we see an escalation of the security situation in syria by the guns but we come up absolutely. on the government as i mean some circles trying to propagate the voices are both sides are calling for dialogue to sit down and talk to the syrians themselves agree that if this crisis is to be resolved that foundation of trust could be first laid out but with each direct

order syria will spawn a rising already widening political that does or so yards damascus. now the show crosstalk gets to grips with america's frosty relations with iran right now nine hundred thirty g.m.t. tonight but officials attempt to prove to run was plotting to kill the saudi ambassador to the u.s. there seem to have everyone convinced. this person who seems to be mad goes to mexico he said he is to drug runner and i have a cousin who is a high general in the iranian armed forces and then they wire a hundred thousand dollars i mean even if the people who made up the story had read a couple of spy and i was they know that they don't wire money but especially from iran and to mexican drug dealers they were doing carriage then he when he is in prison he calls this suppose an iranian general and he tells him on the phone to

carry out the operation i mean a man on the phone a senior iranian commander on an international line to the united states with a good point about reading spy novels i think that goes both ways i think if the claim that mr rowley seems to be making the obama administration simply invented this plot out of whole cloth well you know they've read spy novels too so you might think they would do a better more convincing job if they were just simply trying to slow the rest of the world. off a pick the team programs on air in full in just over two hours time. the present british ship it might hand cook who's been connected with a russian woman accused of spying in the u.k. as critics roll on the defense committee that announcement came as catches it to look at his deportation hearing began this week in a london court she's admitted having an affair with the politician a former employee but denies accusations of being of russian intelligence for the m.p. that i would bet is to follow the case over good evening so how has the case but of

folding so far what's been said. well you really can script this one actually has been dubbed by the british tabloid press as the spy who loved him and is really only a matter of time until mike caught the in peek at is the live yet i was working for as a researcher in parliament was swallowed up by this after the details emerged of their affair that was going on for four years and we now know from two thousand and six when they met in moscow to two thousand and ten during that time halfway through that period she started to work for him in the house of parliament now today we've heard from him because he's stepped down from his position on the defense committee and the reason why is because he feels his position is really untenable and that before he actually said that he didn't have any inappropriate relationship with. but now those details have emerged obviously it's quite embarrassing so he stepped down from that committee at least until the trial is over now why the

defense committee well that's where the questions are really being asked he denies passing any classified information that wasn't already in the public domain to mr to live yet and nevertheless that the government lawyers in this in this trial they accuse her of acting as a honeytrap. for a for the russian intelligence services targeting mr hancock's specifically a because of his vulnerability. with the extramarital affairs and b. because of his position on that defense committee and because of his access to what would have been very highly classified information now catches that this is one of the it is she denies acting in this way she says she is not a spy she was never in contact with any intelligence officials never has been and maintains her innocence and that's why she's fighting her the importation and also says she's never given any access and also to those classified documents now also today her lawyers actually said that there was quote

a genuine feeling between her and mr hancock and so that's the lie. they're going down and also there actually questioned a witness today who is an m i five agent now. identity remained anonymous and it was put to that witness by the live yet as lawyers that the only reason why the security services are interested in this case became interested in it was because of that anna chapman was actually chucked out of the u.s. on spy charges and when questioned what evidence is there for this case against the soviets well the agent merely said that because of secrecy laws they could neither confirm nor deny whether any evidence exists at all. on who is a former m i five agent herself she suggests that there might be an all teary motive for this case i think any decision made on her deportation will be probably down some sort of political backroom deal thinking because of course there

has been friction between russia and the u.k. i suppose for whatever political reasons if they deem it to be something they could use to embarrass russia they might well be porter whatever the facts of the case but if they want to search trying a factor of production or all secure some sort of deal then they might well say no she can stay but i would thought it probably more likely given the recent mission between cameron and medvedev. and the lack of willingness of our prime minister to open up communications between our agencies and the russian spy agencies again i think it's probably likely that the continuing through will continue and that is of been reporting earlier on from london now a new wave of protests or ups in new york street activists accuse the city's police of using excessive force hundreds of people have been arrested during the five week long nationwide protests as police were condemned for using pepper spray. from offscreen following demonstrations in new york. a lot of excessive tactics by.

the police department here well resulting in i think a total of nine hundred ninety two iraqis now since the occupy wall street demonstrations have begun most of the people here are demonstrating peacefully they are they call this. nonviolent civil disobedience tactics for example simply standing on a street trying to call attention to the cause and still they've been met with a very heavy handed response by the police department here which has riles many activists as well as regular old citizens here in new york a recent poll that came out actually found that seven and ten new yorkers support the cause of this movement they stand with the eye to eye wall street demonstrators not a very good development if you're the bearer of new york city and to continue to deploy police officers on horseback on scooters that seem to sort of that's late and get out of hand whenever any sort of protest develops how yesterday evening we had a sort of mini march by some of the protesters to what they perceive us police

fertility. several other protesters had also gathered around one of the restaurants here where the governor of new york was meeting with science and situated himself several protesters ended up getting arrested simply for being in the street there and refusing to leave as you can see behind me perhaps you can see behind me the weather is not really cooperated with us today but out a lot of but the spirits for me and my lot of folks are here under tarps sort of where we're huddled around right now at the moment that trying to ride out the negative but there are we do expect things to improve in terms of the weather throughout the week and the numbers to work hard right now i would say there's probably a couple hundred protesters in the park a little bit less than the palace and or so that we've been seeing throughout the week but again the weather does seem to have some small impact on its movements but the movement does continue to grow across the country and across the globe. and with only a very closely ot to see come from the further you get more news now this is the

live pictures and comments from the u.s. protests and even a social network pages. remind us government approved the placement of u.s. ninety missile defense eleven summit soil countries just one parliamentary agreement away from becoming the next link in america's missile shield chain in europe moscow has concerns the system may be directed against russia washington's offered written assurances to the country but not legally binding governs these and so you lawmaker moscow told you that the offer is welcome but it's not enough. the

written declaration or to be issued and or to be withdrawn in case something changes in the leadership of the united states all the legally binding documents. agreements or conventions protocols is the only instrument which will satisfy the russian concerns the recent reaction of russia on this program was rather harsh and hard because the system is definitely meant not just against iran or as north korea it is meant to compensate the rush from new clear strategic can show so i think that the american politicians and the people who work with the president of the united states now seek air not sure they want to propose something to russia in order to satisfy the russian concerns but written declarations are

a good step forward but this is not enough. constantine kasich of around the world mon briefed british police and started the eviction of travellers on the side with of if more than a decade officers had to use riot gear and sledge hammers to overcome resistance from the residents and their supporters protesters chained themselves to the barricades and torched a mobile home as police moved in the traveler said the eviction is ethnic cleansing of the local authorities insist the site was established illegally. turkish forces have reportedly killed fifteen kurdish rebels on the iraqi border after the country launched a military campaign the operation comes just hours after the rebels killed at least twenty six to the soldiers in the deadliest attack for several years could militants and cause continuous violence in the country for decades trying to force there of government. mason story next no food no water no cell phone to call for help or follow come full reality for what would be what when some crusoe the man

spent seventeen days alone trying to scramble for his life on a small russian island before he was rescued purely by chance. for his remarkable story of survival. the moments that are ganesh of knows he saved these rescuers are the first people has seen for seventeen days they didn't search for him no one reported surrogate's disappearance but farron him by complete accident his chance of survival had been slim. i was here to collect seaweed but the weather was bad and my boat capsized and crashed i swam to the island but there was no one there my cell phone was wet and didn't work there was no food. i survived by drinking rain water and eating kelp i was very scared he made a shelter to hide from the rain but soon despair. for the first ten days i was looking out for boats and planes but over the last three days i had no hope.

doctors say sergei has suffered physical and psychological trauma. he's suffering from hypothermia and nourishment he wants take a logical damage to hit me to trance he was on the verge of suicide said ganesh of recuperate in hospital for the next fortnight perhaps the most surprising aspect of the story is in the third game was able to survive under spiny island all the fact that rescuers managed to locate him considering the hundreds of similar islands in the area but the fact that for two weeks nobody not his friends or his family thought it necessary to report him missing. the net now coming up he's taught a lesson of america's most explosive academy on shortly that program but next it's the latest in the world business community.
