striking in portugal they can never have stability to be in the school. even if they are working for ten fifteen twenty years they are always earning the same and don't have a place in school a stable place and one school it's a political choice of financial cuts in education helps social security that's a political choice and i think it's a child. like legendary appliances political seems to be sliding deeper and deeper into the depths of economic output what started off as a purely financial crisis is now turning into malevolent force which threatens to rock the portuguese their basic human rights earlier this year portugal got an emergency bailout from the e.u. to deal with its debt the third country to do so after greece and ireland but for some the seventy eight billion euro price tag is too high to pay for the hysteria to cuts it goes well beyond the classroom and strikes at some of portuguese

the surface of the monster meanwhile as the earth's population passes the seven billion mark some look at new property options that are out of this world we'll tell you more in a little bit. but first nato is mission over libya winding down despite calls from the interim leadership for the operation to continue this after the u.n. security council voted last week to remove the country's no fly zone and end the coalition's campaign the u.n. mandate came after a former leader colonel gadhafi launched a deadly assault on protesters nato which had been operating in the country since march and been accused of breaching the terms of the resolution its initial goal was to protect civilians but some air strikes are thought to have hit nonmilitary targets and claimed innocent lives the country's leadership will take on full responsibility for national security starting tuesday tasked with rebuilding and restoring order in the country flooded with weapons. u.n. mandate came after the un has condemned violence in syria calling for an end to the

civilian death toll there more than three thousand people have been killed after months of anti-government on arrests some protesters have been calling for a no fly zone over the country and aerial support for nato in an interview with a russian t.v. channel syria's president bashar assad has warned that any foreign intervention would engulf the whole region. that syria is don't need be and it's unique in terms of geography politics and history outside interference could come at a great cost to all involved if your small state and your opponent is big and powerful it's natural for you to want to defend your homeland but it's a country where you could say to turn it makes co-exist and any attempt to break the stability could cause a strong earthquake it could damage the whole region in countries situated far from syria and if that happens in the middle east you could have a global impact today we have hundreds of soldiers police and security forces among the dead how they killed during peaceful demonstrations all because of some slogans being shouted out no they were shot through and this means we're dealing with arms

people but the information obtained during the latest interrogation of terrorists shows that there was arms smuggling to syria from neighboring states the campaign was funded from abroad and we have a list of those who are responsible for this. feuding russian billionaires and boris berezovsky are taking their fight to u.k. court arizona's claims are. billions of dollars something that chelsea football club owner denies he's expected to speak at a high court hearing monday are king's i have a better reports out of what promises to be the most expensive lawsuit in history. this will be the first time around and. a is the bodyguards are calling him opens his mouth in this hearing up until now it's good to resolute silence in stark contrast to his rival used to be. because appearances in the witness courts have been loud brash and passionate after all there's a lot at stake here he's suing you say for three point five billion pounds

a breach of trust and breach of contract he says mr a intimidated him deleted into selling his shares in sydney the oil company for a fraction of the true value of hearings trying to establish the finer details of those deals that went on but it appears none of that was actually put into writing after all it was the ninety's russia it's not so much what's inside the court that's caught the attention here it's the extravagant operators around these two men they show up to cause any my bucks to sadie's they're flanked by passed onto rogers at least fifteen people each inside the court room which is massive it's divided into two warring factions each man is represented by three rows of lawyers legal age translators body guards each behind a computer screen outside the court room in a free corner is a big burly man with dark glasses the near piece these are two of the world's richest men although the rumor is that these ports is dwindling but to give you an idea of just how much money these men have for mr hayes legal fees are thought to

be in the region of between four and eight million pounds. turning to the middle east where two people were killed by israeli airstrike in gaza after the palestinians announced a cease fire israel says the two men were preparing to fire a rocket which palestinian officials deny as far as a weekend of violence that's our ten people killed in gaza one in israel as are his policy reports the latest escalation could work in television is favor. one of the concerns people have is that among the hundreds of palestinian prisoners who are still in israeli jails and who still need to be released as part of that prisoner exchange deal that saw one israeli soldier returned to israel in exchange for more than a thousand palestinian prisoners many of the palestinian prisoners who still need to be released belong to the democratic front for the liberation of palestine and that is one of the seymour palestinian groups that has claimed responsibility for a number of these rockets that have been fired into israel in recent days so there

are many people here saying that this does jeopardize that prisoner exchange deal and that it will be almost a convenient excuse for the israelis nor to release the hundreds of palestinian prisoners that it is still committed to release as porter that they were more than twenty thousand people that took to the streets of tel aviv they were not surprised by the violence they say that this is something that has happened in the past and it is the government's way of detracting attention away from domestic problems in serbia if you look at the international media coverage the international media was much more focused on what was happening in terms of security concerns and on israel's border with gaza and then on what was happening domestically here and this is exactly what protesters say they say that they want money to not be spent so much on the on the defense budget cuts there to be made so that more money can be streamed domestically and certainly this increase in violence and the government's response in terms of the fact that it is going to give gaza

a harsh had to tracks attention away from what people here say is the ongoing situation where they have very real demands that are more often than not overshadowed by the excuse of security concerns. meanwhile an israeli court has jailed a former soldier for four and a half years for leaking classified military files to the press some of the documents allege military officials are proved the killing of palestinians in the west bank but those claims aren't being investigated and that undermines israeli law according to legal experts. in this case a whistleblower blew a loud and disturbing whistle the military is violating international law and the directives of the israeli supreme court in carrying out assassinations in situations in which they are required to try to make an arrest and so the state attorney's office prosecuted the soldier but failed to seriously investigate the conduct revealed in those documents conduct with raises serious questions about rule of law and democratic system that pattern of behavior violating it orders by

the supreme court because of the supreme court said that it said you must try to arrest is part of a pattern of practice within the israeli system and it's something that's very disturbing because when the army does not obey the orders by the supreme court the supreme court is actually more reluctant to issue those orders because no court wants to issue orders that are going to be ignored and then of course you have a serious threat to the rule of law because in a democratic system the army is of course supposed to listen to what usually system tells them to do. if you're looking for more in-depth stories and exclusive footage or he has you covered here's a taste of what's a click away at archie duck. radioactive emissions from fukushima crippled nuclear plant could be five times higher than authorities claim fired out on line by evacuation zone could stay uninhabited for years. and weeks after the failure of its predecessor russia's progress space ship successfully takes off for d.i.'s that's checked out the footage in r.t. dot com and our youtube show. the front runner in curious stands presidential
