try think greek's around the parliament which says yes to more punitive cults to try and salvage a pipe dream that. the americans and the cabinets protestors agree on that citizens are being al konstanz out glanced at slamming both street and washington post shaping sharing the money leaving people to fend for themselves. and the russian rocket raccoon i would say used takes its first foreign trip to help viewers and get on the side not satellites even america's g.p.s. run for its money. and a very warm welcome from all of us in moscow this is an see with me about it thanks for joining us greece is a forty eight hour paralysis entering its second day and has a ready seen street violence over the government's efforts to stave off bankruptcy

the anger of tens of thousands of protesters was not enough to deter lawmakers from giving initial i think even more tough cuts to desperately turn the economy around and she says her first reports now from. well this is the scene on the streets of athens you can just go sometimes the sleigh one of the main shopping streets strewn with bits of rock at the window from a lot of places you've still got a very heavy police presence that has remained here. no where we saw thousands upon thousands of people gathering you still got a small presence we saw them what police taking them off the streets and the largest protests that we had since the financial crisis began and we still see really violent clashes between the protesters and the police at the streets. filled with smoke and we saw a number of buildings on fire and a meeting on finn type me you can see still got the riot police outside the front

of the parliament building you still got a number of protesters know earlier on this thing was filled with fire where fire started going off protests is running in all directions. today we came here peacefully and the police just started to attack people with tear gas and we the people of greece no matter what part we're from the government to support the rights of the people in politics in our legal system we don't want these people to see and do whatever they like anymore. you can still smell the take in the hair a process that included all age groups in all social groups than greece because it's a problem that's affected everyone here in the country the young and the olds turning out to join in the protests we're looking at some of the banners and charts we have a let this go we have to stop this fight and the answer was never and really that's what a lot of this focus has been on was the eurozone leaders in the government here in the parliament building the stuff possible rescue plans the statements and all the

financial plans that they come up with the people here you've had to suffer on these measures and they said they've had enough it was described as a make or break week for greece they had the government vote on the possible further will start to try and get the next bunch of money leaders meeting in brussels at the weekend to again discuss the debt quite that here on the streets it might have been described as a make or break week but we store exactly what that meant for the people there left now here in athens trying to pick up the pieces they say has been measured sort of simply crippled their country their r.t. and. all the greece is the epicenter of the euro zone's troubles for some of europe's problems will only deepen unless governments admit to the euro currency was a mistake. well what needs to be recognized is the grease is of course passed as we know and we need they need to have a default they need to stop paying all the money that they're paying for based

financial institutions and start trying to invest in never call me to try and get the economy moving again and of course leave the euro if that needs to be done that is inevitable give haldol should happen very soon whether it will or not is another matter because the politicians are so wedded to the idea of trying to protect the euro but that is a big mistake is becoming a ticking time bomb for the longer they leave it the more call them to be more what's on the streets of athens will be more painful held by the greek people that's what happens when you take away people's democracy and centralized power to a relatively small clique of people dragging down the whole of the european union as long as they stick with the euro the euro is it is a step too far in terms of political integration it's a political measure that doesn't make economic sense we can see that they need to wake up and recognize it as world things a little better than america where thousands of people are beginning there aren't

equal progress has this week five of the occupiers streets rallying call against a bloated banks and washington's weakness and doing something about it and the growing gap between rich and poor is something which could cause the government here as going to check out explain. a class war seemed impossible in a country where being wealthy east part of the national green that is thousands march on wall street and in other parts of america protesting against the system that they claim works only for the benefit of a few super rich individuals and corporations many ask whether america is facing a class war better the time when the rich are getting richer overall the middle class is collapsing class warfare is being waged in a burka today unfortunately the wrong side is winning the so-called one percent of winners are the nation's top corporations which this year amid the economy's very slow growth of non the less made record profits for thanks to various loopholes

many of these corporations pay little or nothing in taxes the corporations say they need the tax breaks to be able to invest more in to hire more america's second largest energy producers chevron is now lobbying not to let the government tax them more and to my question how many americans has chevron hired since the tax breaks were introduced in two thousand and four as c.e.o. of the company said they were slightly a few thousand strong business over the years but not significantly not significant on our chevron payroll a few thousand jobs for the billions of dollars in tax stimulus that the government gave them economies same erika's largest corporations are sitting on more than three trillion dollars and not investing in the economy unemployment in the us remains over nine percent and enough money to support my wife is always going to have a problem but. my great grandparents. their grandparents.

at the wall street answer to people's rage i think you'll still be nobody held a job but as one of the protesters try to put a word of objection we call it all done all done it's not your show monkey. i'm talking to these people hold on i'm not talking. about talk personal success and money have always being part of the american dream. the aspiration to become rich is deeply ingrained in american society and widely promoted by pop culture but those who took to the streets and made it clear that the situation when the rich are getting greater and the poor are getting poorer is not their idea of the american dream in fact it could be the end of it and the beginning of a class war i'm going to check our reporting from washington. and among the occupy wall street protesters biggest grievances is that siege influence that america's big business has in washington political and social analyst says the two are linked

a written assurances to moscow but the kremlin says that's not enough to limit what we talk about written guarantees and north insurances we don't just mean people concrete legally binding agreement which has to be bilaterally sign of that we got u.s. and russia horrible the treaty has to be ratified in the corresponding chambers of commerce and it not only contain a word like our anti missile defense system is not against all of our anti missile defense system is not for you. it must be a serious documents which has to assume the extent of trust and verification all the rest is useless scrap of paper work like a proposal to russia to some specialists to monitor missile defense test flights that's just a holiday was not serious there was racism. they divide on missile defense shows little sign of being successfully breached of a peace campaigners have told r.t. that russia has responsible grounds to be suspicious. the u.s. is out to militarily surround russia today these missile defense systems are part

of u.s. first strike strategy there the shield that goes along with the first strike sword these systems are now being deployed not only will they be deployed in romania but the radar is going to be put into turkey the u.s. is now talking to georgia about putting one of these missile defense radars in georgia already the patriot third generation of patriot missile defense systems that been deployed by the u.s. into poland and now they're being put on navy aegis destroyer ships into the black sea and mediterranean the reset button was always public relations by the obama administration trying to mollify the people around the world specially in europe the american people as well well that the same time coming forward with this very aggressive program i see a continuation of this aggressive and circumvent both russia and china i don't see any letting up in fact i think see both parties the republicans and the democrats

in congress continue to appropriate more money for these so-called you missile defense systems but again are key elements in the u.s. first strike strategy. this way i declare this as one of remember a sort of countries holocaust victims but that doesn't include focusing on the great talisay the people injured and the nazis is quite a sliver of course as trying to see the survivors and step who wants to be known as a nation of of killers lithuanian is the only language which is even a special word core that mel called the shooters of jewels and in world war two those shooters one child ninety six percent of lithuanian jewelry among the highest rates in europe but despite heavy pressure the country's gotten away without punishing a single person responsible they didn't for him because you don't want to for. want to follow we were very very easy to follow joseph melamed found

a lot eleven years ago he published the names of thousands of lithuanians implicated in the killing of jews at the time he sent the list to the lithuanian authorities asking them to investigate as many witnesses were still alive the prosecutors have only now and said him and they want him to come to lithuania the green as we do not consider mr miller i mean a suspect we are only summon him to give testimony to either confirm or deny the statements he made the statements among others a detail in lithuanian court victories of the car course where literally the capitated a rabbi and put his head on a window so everyone could see a man called loose go reportedly imprisoned some sixty jews in a carriage anything with quo bars and forced fire hoses down the throats water was then turned on so the stomachs exploded all of those captured by german photographers the source of the claims i witness is who survived the wall very competent and were very helpful and protect. they are.

proud to need it. this is not the first time lithuanian prosecutors have summoned holocaust survivors who also took part in the resistance to give testimony critics complain it's a way for volunteers to avoid dealing with its holocaust history this is a campaign of defamation against how of course survivors who are alive because they escaped the ghetto to join the soviet partisans the only people fighting that are in this part of the world it is part of a campaign to levi's history in the direction of double genocide and the very far right model that posits that communism and nazism are equal lithuania officially recognizes the crimes committed by the soviet union and nazi regimes are equal and other european states to do the same with nazi crimes. cause

if you want there were some crimes for all of them we have a story there in comparatively worse they were killers like. they were trying to wipe out a whole people and so instead of focusing on an eighty six year old holocaust survivor many say lithuanian authorities should rather at least be opening an investigation and doesn't have made faces willing to participate in an investigation for the reasons he believes the lithuanians are trying to run from one if they really are going. we. will bring out everything will be worse and in the long run that seems the last thing the country would want policia r.t. television. and news and video reports streaming live around the clock at home to his summer was where lining up figure right now a small town in the american state of ohio finds its resembling an african safari with dozens of lions cheaters and tigers on the loose. in the lot
