on the deal the french president nicolas sarkozy said you plans to turn to china for help on friday the c.e.o. of europe's bailout fund is heading to beijing to talk to potential investors and some say the e.u. is going to use that base expanded market so that others will have to pick up the tab for their mistakes the player of the hero. who's going to pay because you're talking about one trillion euro and this is a lot of money even has right now doesn't have to money as the european central bank has the money i guess not they're talking about leveraging the european financial stability fund and to the other countries like china. or india or even brazil to lend to the european stability fund with a guarantee for the european central bank so i think i think this is what they want

to do not by printing money they want to use the police the beauty of france as a vehicle to borrow money from outside to to finance the deficit of the countries if you don't have money you can sell your s.s. to raise the money or print already some ted like the americans do so well china will do it i think they've been doing that by a token amount of. your peers debility fund but david we framed playing a leading role because this is this is what you'll be in leadership that i think china can use this money and that political connection and political influence with the european union so that in future in foreign policy you don't say you're pretty unique i will stand on the side of china is that against china. and whether the

e.u. anti-crisis plan is effective or not for the a story have great people any help appears to be a long way off many are finding new ways to survive in hard times as artists our first reports. they say that time is money for a country where cash is now in short supply time has taken on a whole different value the time bank quick change want to services and sometimes they give a painting lessons for free but they take yoga for free also somebody else is teaching yoga the time banks just one of a growing number of service swapping alternatives that are providing people in greece another way to cope with the tough economic conditions services can include anything from language classes to babysitting all him kids' meals huge huge everything we do without money like looking after people are making things by ourselves for a country in crisis building socially unity can prevail extremely hard crisis is

a terrible thing it creates fear it divides people from public sector workers from private sector workers it divides richer workers to poor workers immigrant workers from home workers and that's a terrible thing. for the party networks have been a great way of bringing together large groups of people the populous slogan here in greece now is no one's alone in the crisis organizations are arranging swap shops to exchange clothes one town in greece is even started saying bharti currency we still have the memory of agricultural society in greece where people used to do things together like we would do the olive tree of my family this week and then next week we go the olive trees of your family and then the next week of the other neighbor so they would exchange services and they like that nicky gives me and her friend alexander he's also a member of the time bank and lesson one of the. three services she provides and in

exchange alexander helps out with the gardening so the time is repaid it's an amazing way. of receiving finally by giving to the other. many greeks struggle with wage cuts tax increases and with unemployment in the country now cripplingly high there's been huge interest in the time banks and networks places in the latins cave of materials it's no wonder really that this idea of swapping gets in services has proven so popular it's building solidarity a time when the economic situation is extremely uncertain. networks won't solve greece's financial problems they do provide a massive amount of support the participants it's not to respond to. crisis in the sense that it's going to overturn the guard but it's giving support

and comfort to both like to overturn the terrible economic policies that are being posed by the troika it's giving people support to feel that they can do something. with the tough economic times leaving many greeks feeling worthless there is real value in projects like the time bank with the greek government drowning in debt these creative solutions are offering any support but encouragement to the people here which are the time of deep recession uprooting priceless commodities so r.t. athens and next hour max kaiser and stacey her birth look closely at the way greeks are venting their anger at their economic quite. is greece a failed state. and i want to answer that from ryan granny in this image here you see right granny well i think she's saying no greece is not a failed state it's an occupied state because they're not asking this question

about iceland are they now know because iceland stood up to the bankers whereas greece is still being subjugated by the tyranny of the bankers and this granny here who you see throwing rocks at the police she's a good emblem for what the cops store for them and the politicians are greece as the things heat up in greece hopefully the banks in greece will completely collapse and this will be the only saving grace for greek sovereignty. of the family of colonel gadhafi is preparing to sue nato for the airstrike on his convoy that led to his violent death at the hands of m.d.c. fighters the family lawyer said that the alliances actions were clearly aimed at overthrowing the colonel and not protecting civilians meanwhile even with gadhafi gone of the country's future it looks far from secure from tripoli now and he said no way since this report. the war is over but the weapons are

fully loaded. human rights watch has expressed grave concern about leftover arms in libya one fear where thought to hold ground to air which could in the wrong hands take down passenger aircraft it's through mates oh and nato allies in the region which these weapons have been flooding libya and also libya is quite a world country anyway the population has has quite a lot of light weapons in its possession and those white weapons are becoming a heavy burden on the national transitional council now relying on an army of former rebels for security we tried to control the would been i'm with you. there somebody has worked and we ask him if he has a person a friend or this we are not. going to. checkpoints have been set up

across tripoli to check that those carrying weapons have proper documentation and those who do have the paperwork are being called on by the national transition committee to return their arms the question now is what if they don't and what does that mean for pulse gadhafi libya and its stability and now as you can see is being secured here everything is under control and the only word thing that makes me can is how to give back the weapons but we see something very different i asked the head commander what the plan is to disarm the population that have to be there but i swear i don't know if you feel. the select the internet is just at the home we have some of the c.d.i. manhood when the man who had a makeshift arms collection center that covers one neighborhood in the capital we're showing. it with you these are the weapons people brought to me today not many walk down one walk in tripoli and you'll hear twice as many kyra.

do you know how many weapons there are in libya. so we have incentive yeah i think everybody has and what some think the fun of arms in the country could spell disaster ahead in the vacuum after gadhafi impulse would fall chaos as groups fight out a vicious battle with power. what you have now in libya is schools of armed factions who have no respect for each other and who have no respect for mates or actually either they've opportunistically used to achieve some aims and nato has been foolish enough to go along with this so i think what we're going to see now is the intensification of the. a civil war between increasingly the factions which have overthrown with the gadhafi regime with many libyans not yet ready to say a farewell to arms the end to the sea which could only be gadhafi

with nato how is now asking the alliance to continue its mission of indication of just how unstable the country is and he's now a r.t. tripoli. the un security council is to vote later on thursday on whether nato operations in libya will end this month but have a scar columnist and correspondent for the asia times thinks that the outlook for the country is bleak and sees comparisons between what happened in sirte with events in iraq seven years ago. jeff at the end of two thousand and four is syria you know cooked over two thousand and eleven what the marines did which was to destroy the norther to save the t.n.c. and they did to see that what kind of death would do when people are saying no he's going to have a massacre in benghazi we need to end it here and see the civil war in libya it's already off they will never set up

a government because they're militias fighting against militias so what i predict is plunder of libyan resources nato running libya as a kind of protectorate puppet government hamid karzai style in. tripoli and civil war all over the place. well remember you can log on to our website to find out all the latest news and analysis on libya and much more besides you can check out our cartoon gallery to get a fresh take on serious issues from an offbeat angle go to the online exclusive section on the site about said r t v dot com. the amount of money being siphoned off through bribes spade globally every year stands at almost one trillion dollars that's according to un estimates all the high

level of corruption in russia makes it a serious offender but the average rate of bribes growing faster than that of inflation and anti-corruption campaign is gathering pace. explains the people involved in the biggest bribery scandals are those who seem best at avoiding prosecution. the cameraman's hands are shaking he's a police investigator who's come across one of the most ostentatious homes he's ever seen including this swimming pool adorned with press goes in the style of michelangelo what makes this raid so unusual is that the home doesn't belong to a multi-billionaire but a humble head teacher i don't know would really state school in moscow for an investigation has initiated a case in the court regarding confiscating constantin to trust property it's a luxury house and the mosque or region through an apartment in moscow and for expensive cars the man on the run became this rich in just a few is using clever schemes to steal from the school its teachers parents and the
