a sigh of relief with a new deal reached to help debt ridden greece but it doesn't mean the crisis is over portugal reportedly wants to renegotiate the terms of the bailout it got earlier this year and it's also called on non european countries to help save the eurozone as artie's are really to lucia reports painful austerity cuts have hit portugal hard. new jobs no money no chance for the future these messages have been brought by teachers strike unfortunately big. stability will be in the school. even if they are working for ten fifteen twenty years they are always earning the same in don't have a place in school a stable place and once it's a political choice of financial cuts in education in health and social security

that's a political choice and we think it's it's wrong. but that's in the area closest particles used to be sliding deeper and deeper into the depths of economic out there 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 her genscher in 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 he cuts it goes well beyond the classroom and strikes at some force against society's fundamental principles like access to justice. the government isn't paying lawyers who provide free public services so there are some he's been doing it for years for free. courts cannot be reduced to canonical entities to solve problems of large corporations they must play the role of providing legal services to citizens and promoting social peace. and this is

cutting corners in education and the legal system is not enough the government spencers are hitting the portuguese where it hurts the most in their health care the government now what is your capacity. on here going to be thousands so that is the real the government most you know as to may. yet there will be a lot of people a lot more because we are all big at the same time we pick up and even. we'll reduce it. and it's more pain no gain these territories failing to stop portugal's economy plummeting with the poor in the front line the prime minister has said that he wants to keep the lower income families away from the cuts not really sure that's possible portugal now has a really big budget problem portugal needs money i mean now so they are going to have to act like i'm serious this last tax is hyped but portugal's still on course

to have a worse there for a show then greece that's startling enough but for the people trying to survive there is to me the economy disaster is already here it involves co r t has been hearing russian billionaires are monitoring overture and boris berezovsky are taking their battle to a u.k. court there is asking claims are them over to rob him of billions of dollars something the chelsea football club owner denies he's expected to speak at a high court hearing monday artie's i have a better reports on what promises to be the most expensively lawsuit in history. this will be the first time remove it so mr a is the body guards are calling him opens his mouth in this hearing up until now he's get to resolute silence in stark contrast to his rival mr b. whose appearance in the witness box of being loud brash and passionate after all there's a lot at stake here he's suing me say for three point five billion pounds for

breach of trust and breach of contract he says mr a intimidated him bullied him into selling his shares in sydney 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 ninety's russia it's not so much what's inside the court it's caught the attention here is the extravagant operators around these two men they show up because in so many my barks and sadie's they're flanked by vast entourage is 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 aides translators bodyguards each behind a computer screen outside the court room a free corner is a big burly man with dark glasses an ear piece these are two the world's richest men although the rumor is that. sports 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 the in the region of between four and eight million pounds. and israeli court has geography former soldier to four and a half years for leaking classified military files to the press some of the documents suggest military officials or prove the killing of palestinians in the west bank but those claims aren't being investigated and that undermines israeli law or into legal expert sharon sorry by. in this case a whistle blower blew a loud and disturbing whistle the military is violating international law and the directors 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 which raises serious questions about rule of law in a democratic system that pattern of behavior violating orders by the supreme court because of the supreme court said that the thing that 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 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 the system tells them to do. and if you're looking for more in-depth stories and exclusive footage our teams got you covered here's a taste of what's online right now at r.t. dot com the radioactive emissions from fukushima crippled nuclear plant maybe five times greater of authorities claim find out. why the evacuation zone could stay uninhabited for decades. in the weeks after the failure of its predecessor the russian progress space ship successfully takes off for the i.r.s. as check out the footage on our team dot com and.

produced any visible breakthrough in u.s. pakistan or relationships regarding their situation in afghanistan in fact it turned out yet another groundhog day of miscommunication mutual accusations and denials small wonder that now the russian doing is exploring all possible venue's and options how to deal with a stalemate both in afghanistan and pakistan the latest safety belt for the u.s. administration was offered by michael o'hanlon and paul wolfowitz there join proposition it's called plan afghanistan alluding to plan colombia that was authorized and sponsored by u.s. administration dating back ten years ago plan colombia essentially means shifting did gear in the reverse back to their runs through idea of the light footprint tried in afghanistan well there is nothing wrong with this idea of this light

footprint the only question is why did it take more than ten years however the most striking feature and now this brand new plan afghanistan is the fact that both authors have painstakingly failed to mention even once the most successful part of american operation in latin america there is aerial eradication of the drug fields in color and it could and should have been replicated own mass in afghanistan. take a look at some other stories making headlines across the globe nato is winding down its mission over libya today that's after the u.n. security council voted last week to remove the country's no fly zone and the coalition's campaign libya's interim leadership will assume responsibility for national security at midnight and try to maintain order in a country flooded with weapons nato which has been operating in the country since march has been accused of breaching the terms of its un resolution illusional goal

nuclear too hot. too cold mars bus will do nicely as the population of earth passes the seven billion mark some of suggested the red planet as a replacement for our current blue one. in these times of tightening purse strings the cost of going to mars could be a problem in the not so a one man expedition to mars and park would cost it is safe to say over three billion dollars preparing for these marginal cost about thirty or fifty times more than a two way ticket in other words we are talking about colossal expenses regardless of what price those who have been into space say the time is right for mankind to yet again really go where no one has gone before everybody realizes that it's time to reach out and explore the universe beyond low earth orbit we have for many years just for ten years at least we have been on the international space station

in very close here we haven't been somewhere else or with people since the lunar landings which ended back in one nine hundred seventy two there's no shortage of takers to be the first to set foot on mars and potential red planet trailblazers have started their training young sir good time is still just a teenager but he's putting in the hard yards in the hope that he can help create a potential new home for humanity millions of kilometers away. i want to be the first to travel to mars and to other planets as well to the moons of jupiter saturn b.c. you can leave there in future we're still a long way from science fiction becoming science fact with human setting up home on the surface of mars even if we put the huge cost of a martian settlement to one side there are some serious hurdles to be overcome not least we have no idea if life existed there previously and if it is. whether

whatever killed it off could be dangerous to us why should we even think about finding a new home because. that's resources are finite therefore we will eventually have to either restrain population and production growth risking losing both or we find a foothold on other planets no matter how much it cost us with the retirement of nasa space shuttle the only way for people to get into space at the minute is the russian soyuz rocket currently with the science available our chances of a global relocation anytime soon i pretty much zero however took the way in central moscow the mars five hundred project is simulating the effects a mission to mars would have on a crew in search of a new home. there is one obvious reason why the experiment has been so popular the world is still a place for dreamers who dream of exciting projects that unite people international projects. as it stands we might have to learn to deal with the soaring global

russian ruble has strengthened to thirty two of the dollar that says investor risk appetite has seen a recovery fall the e.u. steps to tackle the debt crisis unless a side factors the reality could be a target around the capital flight from russia. there are more reasons to expect stronger rather than the week. world prices are high russia is exhibiting twin surpluses well the current account surplus is very high and the we have a substantial fiscal surplus overall i think there are reasons to believe that even until the end of this year even after the long the google recently there was still scold full appreciation this year and furthermore i can say we've had tremendous outflows of capital from russia thus far in two thousand and eleven. there are reasons to believe it could be so or even a reversal in capital flows could take place if that happens even more reasons to

expect full strength let's have a look at the markets now oil prices are heading lower on monday europe's last week moved to resolve greece's debt crisis sparked a rally on global trading fools but now traders are turning their attention to week extension of the global economy some market watchers expect a jump and progress is to push gasoline prices high and the minds in on. but across asia the markets will lower the nikkei fell point seven percent after the drop from record gains against as the japanese government intervened in the markets to weaken the currency line saying as well with more than one cent. and european markets all lower in early session both the footsie and the techs a losing around point six percent this hour mining stocks are under pressure after message prices dropped. and the russian markets are declining us crude and well courage as well and metals fell hurting the outlook for companies in the world's biggest energy exporter let's now have
