in the country's south in which rampaging mobs killed hundreds of minority next. portugal has been struggling to stabilize its economy despite a bailout from the eurozone earlier this year and while the e.u. is breathing a small sigh of relief over the new deal to prevent greece from collapse the storm is far from over and as artists every nickel reports from portugal the people there are not happy with painful austerity cuts they continue to endure. no jobs no money no chance for the future these messages have been brought by teachers striking in portugal they can never have stability. 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 in one school it's a political choice of financial cuts being able cation helps social security that's

a political choice and really complex it's wrong. but that's in the area closest particle seems to be sliding deeper and deeper into the depths of economic output the 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 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 to cats it goes well beyond the classroom and strikes at some of portuguese societies fundamental principles like access to justice. the government isn't paying lawyers who provide free public legal services so there are some who have been doing it for years for free but the 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 of what is your capacity. of twenty thousand. per year that he now has to made. will be a lot. more because we know that when we pick up. even. and it's more pain no gain and the spirit is feeling just a 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 fortunately now has a really big budget problem portugal needs money and needs it now so they are going to have to cut like time services slashed taxes but portugal's still forced to have

down every twenty minutes past the hour here in moscow on the final day of october it's been revealed that the world's population has reached a whopping seven billion that's raising concerns over the potential over crowding of our planet experts warn that in just a few decades the problem could become manageable with diet and viral consequences but the news is inspiring sons who seek a new new home but somewhere far far away as on the street all of our reports. so when next mercury too hot. too cold mars 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 warm however in these times of tightening purse strings will cost of going to mars could be a problem in the world so a one man expedition to mars and back which cost it is safe to say over three billion dollars preparing for these flights would cost about thirty or fifty times

more than a two way ticket in other words we're talking about colossal expenses regardless of the price those who have been into space say the time is right for mankind to yet again go where no one has gone before everybody realizes that it's time to reach out and explore the universe beyond glory for a bit we have for many years just for ten years at least we have been on the international space station in very close and we haven't been somewhere else or with people since the lunar landings which ended back and thank you seventy two there's no shortage of take years to be the first to set foot on mars and potential red planet trailblazers have started their training young surrogate 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 to so 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 did. whether whatever killed it off could be dangerous to us why should we even think about finding a new home because. earth'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 and 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 it took to weigh 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 please provide reamers who dream of exciting projects that unite people international projects. is not on the as it stands we might have to learn to deal with the soaring global population but young surrogate key been training hard and the hope that he can do it for the dreamers. r.t. . right now let's all get involved here and r.t. we're asking for your views about the growth of the world's population if you go over to r.t. dot com you can take part right now in our latest poll the last question what happens now of the human population has reached the seven billion mark so far the most popular responses will drain the earth's resources and all die out the answer

tremendous flows of capital from russia thus far in two thousand and eleven. there are reasons to believe it could be celebrate or even a reversal in capital flows to take place if that happens even more reasons to expect to build strength. as i look at the markets now all prices are heading lower on monday europe's move last week to resolve greece's debt crisis sparked a rally on global trading floors now traders are turning their attention to wreak expansion of the global economy some market watchers expected jumping from prices to push gasoline prices higher and on the minds of. stocks and europe's draw as traders await more news on plans to tackle the eurozone debt crisis banks are following just a proper disco point nine percent in london after the bank said it's third quarter profit increased by five percent beating estimates stocks are weighing on the sea with advance resources an extraordinary car for stocks and the russian markets are
