own satellite navigation system giving america's g.p.s. everyone puts money. and welcome from all of this is archie with me you little parlor thanks for joining us first greece's forty eight hour paralysis is entering its second day and has a ready seen street violence over the government's efforts to storyboard bankruptcy the anger of terms of thousands of protesters wasn't enough to deter lawmakers from giving initial backing to even more tough cuts to desperately turn the corner me around and also his her friend is in athens for us. we've seen some violence and wednesday with the moment just to vote on a final approval for that side of history what do we expect today. is shut

down for a second day the protesters are expected to once again turn out in front of the parliament building we can actually already hear some of the protesters making announcements over the loudspeakers we've got a lot of them off the streets of syntagma square where they'll be marching down later and they plan we've heard to surround the parliament building as the vote goes to really for the next round of austerity measures that gaining initial approval yesterday then we saw the protests into very chaotic scenes indeed as violent clashes broke out between the police and the protesters we saw some of the buildings around here in syntagma catching fire the head was filled with smoke and tear gas and it really was very disturbing indeed to watch a reflection of course deep public anger at these continuing or thirty measures your as any as i'm sure watching very very closely the scenes of calls. coming up

ahead of the summit on sunday we know that they did meet in frankfurt trying to hammer out some of the details of that rescue fund finalized some kind of rescue plan. yes that's right so the you leaders are set to meet on sunday to work out a solution so we finally see and then the crisis. well it's very hard to say what people are saying is that on sunday at the east time is going to be very very clear shall not expecting something at least to be announced because whether or not to be anything to come of that the repercussions certainly on the financial markets would be extremely severe we know that there are a lot of problems is that with this what we've seen is that this agreement needing to be reached by the seventeen member states easing the single currency does have its difficulties in a very slow in responding to the situations are they always seem to be a couple of steps behind the markets. the problem here is well as the amongst the

public the feeling is certainly that the government in greece the eurozone leaders faced the truth very much said of meeting the demands of the financial markets and the people here feel that they simply have been ignored in all this despite the fact that they're the ones who now have to pay for the crisis so it really is a very tough situation in days of course is what the government here is that they're trying to push three more sturdy measures more job cuts more pension cuts more tax hikes they're trying to get the approval of that eight billion euro next tranche cash injection of the belle of funds we've got the discussions about the additional rescue fund as well all this money a lot of people saying us trying to get money after bad but they do need the money that is not to get it then greece is going to very quickly run out of cash and that's going to have again very severe repercussions very immediate repercussions greece will essentially not be able to pay any of its bills a very tough situation indeed the country here the government in the usa need is

basically facing a situation where they have the video position from the people here in greece a bit impatient amongst the financial markets and amongst euro zone leaders of course at the inability again of the eurozone leaders to respond to this and. we're expecting to see the same happening today the ted out from the public continuing in parliament as the ngo continues on the streets. for reporting there live from athens sara many thanks indeed and we'll talk to you later as well. things are better over in america with thousands of people digging with their corporate protests and it's week five of the occupy wall street rallying call against a bloated banks and washington's weakness and doing something about it the growing gap between rich and poor is something which could cause the government is going there to trickle down explains. a class war seemed impossible in

a country where being wealthy east part of the national dream 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 that at a time when the rich are getting richer while the middle class is collapsing class war is being waged in america today unfortunately the wrong saudi is winning the so-called one percent of winners are the nation's top corporations which this year amid the economy is very slow growth have 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 and 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 and we live in a nation where corporations can profit off a child dying at the same time with their parents into bankruptcy because they're trying to pay for this kid's medical bills. with them what does that say about our country 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 tried to put a word of objection call at all. hold on it's not george i'm talking to these

people hold on i'm not talking to you you can. 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 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 r.t.e. among the occupy wall street protesters biggest grievances is the huge influence that america's big business has on washington political and social and that's just outside and he says that the two extra complaining. bailing out the too big to fail as the rich bankers the federal reserve dumping trillions of dollars worldwide that

it's in the capital it's been a takeover it's one big corporate takeover named the industry there's a handful of people running it agriculture communications you go down the list whether it's retail whether it's the military so yes wall street is washington washington is wall street we used to be the most egalitarian nation on earth until the republicans and democrats started deregulating the laws that made us put all the play in the power of the big things you want to start a business robert you're going to create several hundred jobs they'll give you tax breaks loan guarantees you know even if the structure but if you're an entrepreneur and want to start a business why they got the state agencies the local agencies 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. on the way later this hour as fierce fighting continues between for rebels and

gadhafi loyalists for the last remaining stronghold we hear an eyewitness seen firsthand humanitarian desperation being stopped by civilians trapped in the besieged city stories coming up next. a new thing history's lessons and it's twenty declared twenty eleven a remembrance for one of course the victims but it's actually survivors of the mass genocide we'll tell you why. a historic launch takes place later on thursday which will see the fast russian rockets have it to launch from the west a nation will take off from french european navigation equipment which will compete with america's g.p.s. . from the south american country. drivers find g.p.s. navigators can often be inaccurate and actually cartel to built up zones but the new e.u. competitor called galileo promises me to point precision even in open areas where

buildings currently mosk g.p.s. coverage the man in charge of the launch says it's for superior to the us system to disappear that to be a major problem to go but it should galileo's first satellites of defending all from french guiana on thursday the earth rotates faster here by the equates to 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. and i must say that. we we are glad to have so you hear from treasury and e.u. space chief say it shows you don't need to be complicated to succeed rational system very simple and effective it's a very good way of design of politicians think it will launch a new partnership between europe and russia the way you used it were

a country actively contributes to industrial scientific and technical corporation for example and airspace shield it is important step on the way to resume the level of quality of our business ties and diversification i would structures you know we have been one shining too used to space launching side of cool and ever achieved 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 also to g.p.s. known as glow in us competition in the sky is about to get just a little more crowded than your bushel r.t. french guiana. he will bring you the historic so you live so make sure your hair fall coverage from french guiana at. the new hero in russian european space partnership. the future of the european satellite navigation system. on board the world's most reliable space vehicle.

soyuz rocket is gearing up for the first ever blastoff from a foreign base. the landmark launch. live on. interim leader warning to country could descend into further chaos unless the war ends soon it's now two months since they took tripoli and fierce battles continue between their finances and gadhafi loyalists in the colonel's hometown of set with sounds of people caught in the violence casi recently returned from said 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. because i feel that i can assure you. if you swim. through the city now it's it's disaster it's

a catastrophe i mean the international law. or the national community. 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 having to all get off we don't want to get there if you will that we don't want for example if the solution was nato. our life was better. any time when gadhafi was involved but in our culture over for many years to allow america to place part of its european defenses on its soil the country is now just one parliamentary government away from becoming the next link in the u.s. missile shield chain in europe washington is designed to counter possible at times

from countries like iran and south korea but russia sees the plans as a direct threat state security council carrying countermeasures they say and they rejected russia's proposal to build a giant shield and stand last has offered a written assurances to moscow but the kremlin says that's not true now. when we talk about a written guarantee on it and not insurances we don't just mean paper but a concrete legally binding agreement which has to be bilaterally signed up between the u.s. and russia the treaty has to be ratified in the corresponding chambers of parliament 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 all the rest is useless scrap paper like a proposal to russia to send specialists to monitor missile defense test flights that's just a holiday was not serious cooperation of. the divided missile defense shows little

sign of being successful abraded ever appears competitors have told us see that russia has reasonable grounds to assist us. 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 in 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 missile defense systems that again are key elements in the u.s. first strike strategy it's when you declared this year as one of remembrance for the country is one of course vixens that doesn't include focusing on the bertani of the people in it and that the nazis point to sleep reports it's trying to see the violence instead. who wants to be known as a nation of of killers lithuanian is the only language in which is even a special word coined that melancholy the shooters of jews and in world war two those shooters wiped out ninety six percent of lithuanian jewelry among the highest rates in europe but despite heavy pressure the country's gotten

a weight without punishing a single person responsible they didn't fund because they don't want to fund they would have won too far and they were very very easy to find joseph melamed founder last eleven years ago he published the names of thousands of lithuania 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 as we do not consider mr melamed a suspect there and they summon him to give testimony to either confirm or deny the statements he made statements among others detail in lithuanian court victor was of course who allegedly to capitated a rabbi and put his head on a window so everyone could see a man could 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 miss as who survived the war very competent. in their health and reg. they there were they need to be in 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 hitler 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 an investigation for the reasons he believes and the lithuanians are trying to run from one if they really are going to. we. will bring everything will be done to us and in the long run that seems the last thing the country would want. r.t. television. our news and video reports streaming live around the clock at home and
