one of the largest world trading terminals in the port of roll for the more than twenty minutes. international news line for most of this is aussie with me thanks for joining us greece's forty eight hour paralysis is entering its second day and has a ready sale street violence over the government's efforts to stable bankruptcy the end of tens of thousands of protesters wasn't enough to deter lawmakers from giving initial backing to even more tough cuts to desperately turn the economy around. from athens but this is the scene on the streets of athens you can see just off in part of the square here one of the main shopping great spring with the rock the window from that a lot of place to be flat he's still got a very heavy police presence that is remains here now up on syntagma where we saw

thousands upon thousands of people gathering early you still got a small presence we saw the what police pushing them off the streets is the largest protest the grace of god then the financial crisis began and we thought the ready biting clashes between the protesters and the police the streets. filled with smoke and take we saw a number of the buildings on fire and then moving on syntagma you can see still got the riot police outside the front of the parliament building you still got a number of protesters though earlier on this day with filled with fire where you started to gas going off protesters running in all directions. today we came here peacefully and the police just started to attack people with tear gas and we've the people of greece no matter what part where from when the government to support the rights of the people both in politics and our legal system we don't want these people to say and do whatever they like anymore. you can still smell the take in

the hair a protest that included all age groups will social groups than greece because it's a problem that's affected everyone here in the country the young and the old turning out to join in the protests we were looking at some of the banners and chunks of those we haven't let this go we have a stop this fight and the answer was never and really that's what a lot of this focus has been a was the eurozone leaders in the government here in the parliament building discuss possible rescue plans for the statements and for all the financial plans that they come up with is the people here have had to suffer under these measures and they said they've had enough it was described as a make or break week for greece they have the government vote on the possible further austerity measures to try and get the next tranche of money leaders meeting in brussels at the weekend to again discuss the debt crisis 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 but they say has been measures that

have simply crippled their country. see in the square in athens. over greece is the epicenter of the euro zone's troubles for some your voters the problems will only deepen and those governments admit to the euro currency was a mistake. well what needs to be recognized is the greece 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 to various financial institutions and start trying to invest in their economy to try and get the economy moving again and of course leave the euro if that needs to be done that is inevitable they do hold true 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 freak mistake is becoming a ticking time bomb the longer they leave it the more told me to be more what's on the streets of athens or be more painful fell 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 and they risk dragging down the whole of the union as long as they stick with the euro the euro 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 well. things a little better than america where thousands of people are digging in with their anti corporate protests it's week five of the occupy wall street rallying call against a bloated banks and washington's weakness in doing something about it and the growing gap between rich and poor is something which could cause the government via chicken explain. a class war seemed impossible in a country were being wealthy is part of the national dream but as thousands marched 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 to tie with the rich are getting richer while the middle class is collapsing class war is being waged in a burka on fortunately the wrong side is winning the so-called one percent of winners are the nation's top corporations which this year made the. conny is very slow growth as non the less made record profits but 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 the c.e.o. of the company said there were up slightly a few thousand in our upstream business over the years but not significantly not significantly 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 i mean no money to survive my lifetime so i don't have a problem but. my great grand kids. grandkids. at the wall street answer to people's rage if you kill all three will 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 all done i'm not talking to you you can. talk you through your personal success and money have always being part of the american dream and really the aspiration to become rich is deeply ingrained in american society and

widely promoted by pop culture but those who took to the streets have made it clear that the situation when the rich are getting richer 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 on reporting from washington our team. and among the . occupy wall street protesters biggest grievances is the huge influence that america's big business has on washington political and social. and then he says the two are inextricably linked bailing out the too big to fail as the rich bankers the federal reserve dropping trillions of dollars worldwide that it's in the capital it's been a takeover it's one big corporate takeover namely industry there's a handful of people running it agriculture communications you go down there with whether it's retail whether it's the military so yes wall street is was shooting in washington is wall street we used to be the most egalitarian nation on earth until

the republicans and democrats started regulating the laws that made us put all the way in the power of the things you want to start a business bob if you're going to create several hundred jobs we'll give you tax breaks loan guarantees you know you get infrastructure but if you're an entrepreneur and waters go out of business why they got the state agencies the local labor issues they have everybody down on your back getting licenses and making sure you abide by the letter of the law how about deregulating about deregulating the average person out there. and on the way later this hour as fierce fighting continues between former rebels and gadhafi loyalists for the last remaining stronghold where you are not a witness seen fast speak the military and disgraced being suffered by civilians traps even the besieged city historians coming up next. a look at history's lessons at least when he declared twenty seven

a year principal holocaust victims but it's actually targeting survivors of the mass genocide but tell me why. he is interim leaders are warning the country could descend into further chaos on less the ball and soon it's now two months since they took tripoli and see as battles continue between best fighters and khadafi loyalists in the connell's hometown of science with thousands of people caught in the violence and he recently returned from and he says the humanitarian situation is dire. there is no water. there is no. medication even oxygen in the hospital they don't have the situation in syria. because i have seen that i can assure you. if you say. to the city now it's it's disaster it's a catastrophe i mean the international law. or the international community came

to. the resolution one nine seven three came to protect civilians but. this is not happening at the moment they don't want gadhafi that's a political issue most of the libyans i would say would rather live peacefully than having to all get off it we don't want to get there if you will that we don't want for example if the solution was nato that is better our life was better i could travel to libya any time when gadhafi was in power but now account of a. historic satellite launch takes place late on saturday will see the first russian rocket ever to launch from a western nation so he's all taken from french guiana carrying european never meant which will compete with america's g.p.s. says daniel bush of reports not from the south american country. drivers find g.p.s. navigator can often be inaccurate and actually cartel to built up zones but the new

e.u. competitor called galileo promises made to point precision even in open areas where buildings currently more g.p.s. coverage the man in charge of the launch says it's for superior to the us system just here that to be a major problem to go but it should be galileo's first satellites and lifting off from french guiana on thursday the earth rotates fast the here by the equator take giving an ideal catapult effect on takeoff at the year round clear skies and you have the perfect conditions for launching into space to send the satellites into orbit europe's chosen the soyuz launcher with its own rival track record by far the most lonely. and i miss. when we are glad to have saluted here from treasury e.u. space chief say shows you don't need to be complicated to succeed rational system very simple and effective it's

a very good way of designing the politicians think it will launch a new partnership between europe and russia in what used to counteract it we contributed to industrial scientific and technical corporation for example in the airspace field it is important step on the way to resume the level of quality of our business ties and they versification over structures you know we have been launching to use disputes launching sided coup and over achieve some results in which particle implementation over two hundred russian specialists are working there right now america's g.p.s. has enjoyed a monopoly on the world's sat nav market till now with so use also behind russia's answer to g.p.s. known as glow in us competition in the sky is about to get just a little more crowded than your bush or french guiana. earned also he will bring in the historic sayings no want to live so make sure your hair fall coverage from french guiana as around ten. you

a written guarantee and not insurances we don't just mean paper but a concrete legally binding agreement which has to be bilaterally signed up as we go u.s. and russia the treaty has to be ratified in the corresponding chambers of parliament but it must 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 in the verification of all the rest is useless scrap paper work like a proposal to russia to send specialists to monitor missile defense test might that's just a holiday what's not serious i was right. the divide a missile defense shows a little sign of being successful a bridge to peace campaigners have told r.t. that russia has a reasonable 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 have been deployed by the u.s. into poland and now they're being put on maybe 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 while at the same time coming forward with this very aggressive program i see a continuation of this aggressive and circumvent of both russia and china i don't see any letting up in fact i think both parties the republicans and the democrats in congress continue to appropriate more money for these so-called us all defense

systems that again are key elements in the u.s. first strike strategy. is when you declare this as one of them in various for the countries one of course to make sense but that doesn't include focusing on the brutality of the people enjoyed under the nazis as aussies point to save of course it's trying to see they survive this instead who wants to be known as a nation of of killers this rainin is the only language which is that even a special word coined it now i'm calling the shooters of jews and in world though she just wiped out ninety six percent of lithuanian jewelry among the highest rates in us but despite heavy push at the country's gotten of weight without punishing a single person responsible they didn't fund because you don't want to fund they would have one. they were very easy to fire those of 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 unsaid him and they want him to come to lithuania dickering and as we do not consider mr miller man a suspect there on his summon him to give testimony to either confirm or deny the statements he made statements among others detail in lithuanian court victories of the concourse who allegedly to capitated a rabbi and put his head on a window so everyone could see a man called loose go who reportedly imprisoned some sixty jews and again raj beat them with crowbars and forced fire hoses down their throats water was then turned on so they stomachs exploded all of this captured by german photographers the source of the claims i would misses who survived the war they are very competent. and were written in their home wrecker. they were there were they needed.

english 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 us to avoid dealing with its holocaust history this is a campaign of defamation against holocaust survivors who are alive because they escaped the ghetto to join the soviet partisans the only people fighting in this part of the world it is part of a campaign to revise history in the direction of double genocide the very far right model that posits that communism and naziism are equal lithuania officially recognizes that crimes committed by the soviet union and nazi regimes are equal and other european states to do the same the nazi crimes should not be excused merely because if you want there were some crimes. there in

comparatively worse they were genocide. 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 does it matter made faces willing to participate in a base today said the reason he believes the lithuanians are trying to run someone if they really are going to. we. will bring you everything will be. and in the long run that seems the last thing the country would want. r.t. television. and news and video are paul streaming live around the clock at all to dot com and here's some of what we're lining up for you right now a small time in that american state of ohio finds its resembling an african safari with dozens of lions cheaters and tigers on dilutes. the law sees the light on hooligans and rochelle to build who blind out the pilots as they try to
