. i opened march so far there's not much images or visuals or video to come out that showed any of the protesters attacked eight attacking the police officers and the police in oakland california new york city and throughout the country have been criticized for using brutal force against these activists that are just trying to exercise their freedom of speach. well our correspondents have been at the heart of the protest log on to our twitter feed for their latest firsthand updates and i've also been a looking at video because i would as in oakland have been putting footage online of the police's violent response against activists again looking at this one of the latest that we've seen is the incident referred to. as the board there you have it there's an individual in the center there that is a rock war veteran marine scoffed also he seems to have been injured and there you can see a policeman seems to be deliberately aiming at protesters some of these people come to the center to try and help scott olsen and they're

a flash bomb destroy in to do group that goes off immediately again let's look at a replay of what happened there. people trying to help injured marine scott olsen in the summer police rounding. and there you have the flash back again into this how this just one of the footage that we've been getting from the u.s. again you can see more on you tube dot com swash our team. and over on our website we've also got plenty more on this story including news of digital help for demonstrators there's a new application for android phones called i'm getting arrested it alerts lawyers friends and family if a protester is. you can check out all the details at r t v dot com. now european banks will write off fifty percent of greek debt the deal was reached during an emergency summit in brussels which continued well into the night among other measures the eurozone and the i.m.f. will give the country another one hundred billion euros and rescue there's also an

agreement on expanding the bailout fund to one trillion euros and commenting on the deal the french president nicolas sarkozy said he plans to turn to china for help on friday the c.e.o. of europe's bailout fund. to talk to potential investors and some say the e.u. is going to use this expanded markets. so that others will have to pick up the tab for their state's. plant detail in who's going to pay because you're talking about one trillion euros 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 are talking about leveraging the european financial stability fund and to the other countries like china. or india or even brazil to lend to a d.

or your peers ability to fund it with a guarantee of a very european central bank so i think i think this is what they want to do not by printing money they want to use to be but believed to be different as a vehicle to borrow money from outside to to finance the deficit of the pain countries if you don't have money then sell your s.s. to raise the money or prevent already some like the americans do so what china would do i think they've been doing that by a token amount of. your peers but realty front but david we framed playing a leading role because this is this is what do you pay 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 you get in uni of

the 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 sturdy have great people any help appears to be a long way off many are finding new ways to survive in hard times as artists are firth 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 you 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 know the 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 so issue unity camp we've exchanged me hard price is a terrible thing it creates fear it divides people from public sector workers to from private sector workers to divide richer workers to poor workers immigrant workers from home workers and that's a terrible thing. for the past the 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 lynas asians 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 they would do the olive tree of my family this week and then next week we do the olive trees of your family and then the next week of the other neighbor so they would exchange services and they like that mickey gives me and her

friend alexander he's also a member of the time bank and lesson one of the. free 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 bars and networks places in the latins cave of materials it's a 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 you can omit

crisis in the sense that it's going to overturn the guard but it's giving support to comfort 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 is a time of deep recession a proving priceless commodity surface r.t. athens. in about twenty minutes time max kaiser and his co-host stacy herbert were closely at the way greeks are venting their anger at their economic plight. is a place of 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 the police she is 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. the family of colonel gadhafi is preparing to sue nato for the airstrike on his convoy that led to his filing tax at the hands of m.t.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 the country's future looks far from secure from tripoli and he said no way sends us this report. the war is over but the weapons are fully loaded. human rights watch has expressed grave concern about leftover armor in libya their number one fear warehouses thought to hold ground to air missiles 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 light weapons are becoming a heavy burden on the national transitional council now relying on an army of former rebels for security that would try to control the bends i mean if there's somebody who has weapon we ask him if he has

a thursday shooting for this we are not. 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 up for parts 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 will make some make on 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. i swear i don't know if you. mean and that is show us that we have some of the sea. and a makeshift arms collection center that covers one neighborhood in the capital we

are showing this. to these other weapons people brought to me today not many. walk down one block in tripoli and you'll see twice as many fire. so you know how many weapons there are in libya a team to slaughter to have inside leave yeah i think everybody have a weapon some think the fun of arms in the country could spell disaster ahead in the vacuum after gadhafi called hope chaos a group fight out of vicious battles of 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 who actually either they've opportunistically used made so 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 an intensification of the 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 at the end to the sea which could only be gadhafi with nato how is now asking the alliance to continue its mission a vivid indication of just how unstable the country is and he said no way our teeth tripoli. the u.n. a security council is to vote later on thursday and whether nato operations in libya will end this month but there are columnists 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. at the end of two thousand and four. you know colbert two thousand and eleven what the marines did which was to destroy the north is to say that they need to did to see what kind of death it didn't do when people were saying oh he's going to

a massacre in benghazi 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 the wonder of the libyan resources nato running libya as a kind of protectorate but with governor hamid karzai. in. tripoli and civil war all over the place and remember you can log on to our website to find out all the latest news and analysis on libya and much more sites that are you can check out our cartoon gallery to get a fresh take on serious issues from an offbeat angle to be online exclusive section on that site that's at r.t. dot com.

now the amount of money being siphoned off through bribes paid globally every here sounds at almost one trillion dollars that's according to u.n. estimates on the high level of corruption in a rush makes it a serious offender with the average rate of bribes growing faster than that of inflation and anticorruption campaign is gathering pace but as artie's daddy a push over 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 all an ordinary state school in moscow. and then arrest a geisha has initiated a case in the court regarding confiscating consenting 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 eight is using clever schemes to steal from the school its teachers parents and the state a recent study of everyday corruption claims teachers doctors and traffic police officers are russia's worst bribe takers for the. low level corruption it's a bribe paid to settle everyday issues so it's also known as every day corruption big stalled money for traffic violations provide medical paperwork and played school grades making people pay through the nose people in russia say they're born with corruption and die surrounded by it but. from literally childhood from school age kids used to the idea of breaking rules when they need to get some service and that is an extremely corrupt an attitude the only positive findings of the research is a growing number of people who consciously resist giving a bribe and a falling number of corrupt deals over the average bribe is almost twice as costly

as five years ago for dinner when accused of corruption among his subordinates one of our former police bosses said start with yourself and stop giving bribes out of principle and start doing things legally it may be more difficult for you but it's worth a try. health care is the most corrupt sector with bribes due to the over one point two billion dollars last year the average medical dr is. relatively small and doctors can go to jail bucks empting just. because they work every day corruption is the result of the state's failure to fulfill its social obligations low salaries promote corruption for tackling this low level crime looks as if something is being done well corruption by the bigger fish goes on and checked experts say the everyday corruption is just ten percent of the t two the rest is initiated not by citizens or businessmen but by bureaucrats the internet is full of videos like this one it is also full of stories about teachers and doctors getting arrested and

tried but when it comes to arresting officials and bureaucrats it seems the statistics up wallace impressive. r.t. moscow. well here's a look at some more international news stories for you flash floods have killed at least nine people and left six others missing after two rational rain lashed mud and debris are now being removed from the areas affected roads and bridges were damaged. northwest of the country cut off from the outside world has been on a flood alert and there are now fears that heavy rains might be on their way to the capital. rescuers in eastern turkey have pulled out a nineteen year old man from the rubble four days after the quake disaster there a five point four magnitude aftershock. thursday all the frantic search for survivors continues but there are some estimates that thousands may have died the
