warm welcome to you this is r.t. live from moscow with me. the upcoming g. twenty summit in the french city of cal is set to begin with what's become something of a tradition a massive protest suppressed by police the rage behind the banners remains the same this year economic hardship and seemingly disconnected leaders as our reports there's a growing sense that corporate interests are taking precedence over the public's wellbeing. g twenty host from says it wants this summit on its picturesque mediterranean coast to reflect the importance of emerging nations in the world but this financial crisis deepens in both the u.s. and european union economists split self interest behind the claim less to involve more right economies is really to try to convince those right economies to put money on the table. and sustainable currency union of europe in the first place

developing countries which still the west quick to back civil unrest among their population they know see those same western countries coming they'll hold public movements in their room backyard and she will activists croyde double standards and the primary powers within the g twenty the united states germany britain france the real economic and military powers they want to show a world order and a system of states that still has the ability when in fact there is instability this summit is an attempt to put a shining face on what is really a failed system there's a scene of chaos not just from the side of protesters but also from the police because there's helicopters overhead at the moment you can hear police sirens so this police really have mounted this military style operation to shut down and stop any of the protesters going where they want them to go one former diplomat says western leaders can't continue to just block criticism this whole idea that. they
8:03 am
can simply ignore popular protests against what's happening could come back to bite the leaders of the g seven energy twenty summit this protest different from summits of the post was bill james nixey of the latest western bank to get bail built with public money growing numbers here worried there's something fundamentally wrong with the current set up we have basically a financial system where corporations and financial institutions are able to write themselves favorable legislation. pro quo will be a corporate lobbyists police roadblocks all demonstrators getting from east to the nearby town of karen where the g twenty takes place but it's becoming ever harder to stop world leaders hearing the voices of protest the new bush you all see him east france i don't have a list so i want white expect this year summit will focus on getting developing nations more involved in stabilizing the world's accounts despite protests i

differences it's essential that world leaders meet face to face to work out a common approach that's according to our current work over the aid to the russian president. result this crane before that it. could face much. more difficult and second to so financial turmoil of the president in two thousand take him from committed. to formal for those crazy decisions especially given the differences in. the traditions and for use of. the various nations of the stake united states and china are phone conversations they need to stop the show there will be some kind of compromise and what delicious . and you can catch more of his thoughts on the two twenty summit coming your way in about twenty minutes time here on r.t.

but now to greece where it's been confirmed the prime minister has proposed a referendum on the latest e.u. bailout that will go ahead george patton draws shock some sparked chaos on world markets and you came as a shock to the greeks themselves pro bailout m.p.'s calling for his immediate resignation the prime minister is now accused of can you explain his actions before german chancellor angela merkel and french president nicolas sarkozy the chief sponsors of research for your life support history financial advisor and our own wealth management mark or before. the fate of the eurozone is now firmly in the hands of greece. this may will finally bring it to a head i think the europeans have been patching things up and patching things up and it's now getting to the crunch point. and the deal that was reached last thursday was was a nothing deal really because it doesn't address the fundamental issues that there is too much sovereign debt in the us and it's unsustainable in my view the best the
8:06 am
best option for the greeks is to default of course that there is a much bigger financial consequences for the for the rest of europe and for the rest of the world if that happens but if we're talking about what is in the best interest of the greek people then then then that's probably the best outcome effectively a greek default and then you have to look at who actually owns the debt and that's principally owned. by other sovereigns by the e.u. and by by the banks and pension funds and the consequences of that is that it would make the financial system the banking system much less stable and the worry is of the snowball effect and how they will face the banks and then other european sovereigns and whether that would then lead to further defaults on a number of sovereign defaults at the same time. with greece up to its neck in economic and political strife another crisis could be just around the corner the
8:07 am
existing mood of desperation. pushes some greeks to make immigrants that scale. and here we go again the u.n. nuclear watchdog claims to found a secret nuclear plant in syria that doesn't cut spending plan to really pose a threat or is it another cry of. wiki leaks founder julian assange may find himself on swedish soil very soon after losing his battle against extradition from britain they will have to answer sexual misconduct charges which he denies and describes as politically motivated let's now across life was smithies outside london's high court laura hi to you so is there any chance at this point that he could still avoid extradition. well he's certainly one step closer to the plane following today's proceedings this rejection of his appeal against the extradition it's not certain that he will. he has said that he
8:08 am
will appeal he's got fourteen days to do that but an appeal is no longer all cinematic he has to be granted permission by the high court to appeal to the supreme court the highest court in the land and that will only be granted if it's deemed by the high court that this case represents a voice of precedent that it up applies to the wider public in its results now he and our phones did come out on the steps of the high cool make a short statement following the announcement he said that he and his team would be considering what that next steps would be in the days ahead and who's they warn people of that which he intends which has been the one which happens at the cooler heads today and directed them to his website that sounds versus we to hear it from the horse's mouth what has happened what has happened and he also criticized the european arrest warrant that say what he had to say about that yes. i have not been for with any crime in any country. this part because the european arrest
8:09 am
warrant is so restrictive that it prevents u.k. poured from considering the power over. as judges have made clear here today. to those in his team considering that next steps and for more on really on the european arrest warrant time joined by jim carr and he's the chair of an organization called civil rights international. jim if this case does go to the secret in court it looks unlikely that the european arrest warrant itself could come under scrutiny is that something that you would welcome yes i would welcome dr you know i do think the european arrest warrant should come on. scrutiny because it is being abused for political purposes because when journalists on was in sweden he did go before a court and they should not allowed him to leave sweden once he was there he should
8:10 am
have been tried if they thought there was a case against him and then he was allowed to come here to england an hour after that then i believe that there was pressure a part on the swedish government perhaps by the american government or by other governments who were a barrister as a result of the revelations that wiki leaks exposed to the international community and i believe that that is why i. tried to get a mixed record so you do believe that this case is politically made space essentially yes i do believe it's politically motivated and yes i believe it is politically motivated and. even the european a rest warns originally they were politically motivated because they were largely used against i reject freedom fighters and also against freedom fighters from the past country that was the original purpose off them that was to get them easily extradited from one country to another because when. england tried to extradite
8:11 am
people from ireland they encountered a whole lot of legal problems so you would like to see they weren't scrapped yes i would like to see the warden stopped i would like to see the european one scrapped and also the one storm erica because there is very great concern here in the united kingdom about extradition studio united states because many people believe that they would not get a fair hearing in the united states and maybe if the sound is exadata to use sweet. fear here among civil rights lawyers and civil rights groups. then there would be not a kitchen for extradition from sweden to do not get states and that's the major concern all the civil rights groups because it will be more difficult to make should try to hear from england to the united states than it would be from jim carr
8:12 am
thank you very much as simple as that talking to us high courts where sanchez now is left he's gone back presumably to the household full in smith in norfolk outside london where he has been held on the streets bail conditions for the last eleven months he's considering his next steps this case is not safe but it certainly does look less likely that he will go free at the end of this all right to. life outside london's high court many times we are also always introduction of what you think about the u.k. it's called r t v dot com we are asking you about it let's have a look at the start here on our so far the majority of you think the u.s. is using the u.k. as a puppet again just over a quarter believe the verdict is the result of a conspiracy to gag internet freedom some eighteen percent say the supreme court may overrule its decision and the rest think it was a legitimate step towards
8:13 am
a fair trial. it is coming to you live from moscow the international atomic energy agency claims to have discovered a secret nuclear complex in northwestern syria and says the design looks like a uranium enrichment facility although it's being used as a cotton spinning plant but patrick hayes a reporter who has been closely following the story says the only purpose of these allegations is to make syria then you bookie. yes this is a way of heaping more pressure on syria during a time when the uprising to taken place i think it really brings about the worst of both worlds in many way it brings about kind of western intervention but in a very insidious kind of i would say dishonest fashion they're basically doing what they did in iraq which is to use the guise of weapons inspections to basically poke their nose into all areas of countries or to seem to be suspicious of georgie they're poking their noses in thought i would say political appear to be political
8:14 am
reasons rather than for any reasons of security concerns at its current time and i think it's very telling they're choosing to do this at a time when the uprising for taking place what they're trying to do is to kind of effectively use other things as kind of modes of fro at the situation to try and affectively build up a narrative which they can use should they necessarily want to intervene in the future i mean certainly syria is being recast in this situation as one of the one of the countries that needs to what's you know one of the countries that for example a new actually sort of evil or something along those lines so i think it is being used for strategic reasons the only thing that's really where it is actually is if the syrian people are left alone without any western intervention without their you know kind of their lackeys or kind of bodies like the international atomic energy agency poking their nose in and it's left to the syrian people to basically decide
8:15 am
what they want to do and determine their own future. a quarter past the hour here in moscow the russian investigators have concluded the crew applied the brakes during takeoff caused the plane to crash in your arsenal for another killed forty four people in september. and i'll join us live in moscow for more details on this hello to you so you heard all the investigation committee what it had to say why did the pilots hit the brakes jury and take off. well ok. there were several they could be several reasons for that first of all the investigate it investigation has shown that says those pilots were trained how to operate food see planes for a very long time and then they have to switch to forty two and according to the committee those planes have a very different great has all systems which share the pilots didn't have enough time to get used to you and so that could have been done by mistake another reason they're suggesting is one of the pilots was suffering from a strong neurological condition which strongly in fact that one's reflexes and was
8:16 am
also under the effects of strong medication perhaps he was using that medication to treat that condition that he was successfully hiding from the aviation medical for all this time a lot of the documents were fired apparently and from the conversations records from the black box during the press conference that we were listening to it was pretty clear that. they sounded very negligent there was a lot of swearing and the interstate. aviation committee i was actually saying that it sounds like the pilots did not come she waits all the parameters for the takeover before hand so they were not prepared for it. all right. thank you. all on our website you can find all the details. you can look on to read about the sole survivor of the crash. cope with the loss and to the drive to rebuild
8:17 am
the wife top pocket for next year's season. also online fighting for their rights. clean up squad members try to force their way into the ukrainian parliament their plan the cuts to their benefits but so much more at all to dot com. it's good to have you with us on this wednesday here party the leaders of turkey and germany have all met as the nation celebrate the fiftieth anniversary of an historic guest worker pact or the deal brought hundreds of thousands of turks today in west germany to field jobs as industry boom but the anniversary comes during a heavy debate over the concept of multiculturalism in europe which many say is
8:18 am
failing perhaps exemplify this the office of a satirical french newspaper was firebombed after named prophet mohammed as its editor in chief for the week for more on the writing cultural tensions in europe i'm joined now live from copenhagen by start s. with the deputy speaker of the danish parliament an m.p. from the danish people's party thank you for coming on the program today this is a newspaper with a provocative agenda is it not it's often accused of inciting racial and religious hatred is it really the victim here do you think well the problem is what is provocative i mean from one point won't it be. inviting so thousands and millions of people from the third world into europe creating a new society that's very provocative. as we know europe is a is a multicultural entity but it's about multicultural integration or is it more perhaps about religious intolerance here but of course it is i mean it's quite hard
8:19 am
. it's hard to like. let's cross the wires right fanatics who do not accept any critiques of religion who want us to get to greece thereby destroying freedom of speech in europe what. put one sort of thought into occupy petrol bombing or fire bombing a newspaper office a newspaper bureau there i don't really take that as an impression of radical islamists trying to get people to assimilate to their religion it seems to me their tempers are flare by and by quoting the prophet mohammed the editor in chief for the week. you know it isn't it is a question. this one's going to decide what can be serious. and what can be drawn. away challenging how freedom of speech i think that's one of the most cherished freedoms that we have us all so we should not accept this by any
8:20 am
chance and i think all right that might be provocative also what you list closely but also what shall you do in what in order to say look we have to stand here we will see you will be right we will laugh at what we like it's also very human and lots of humor and one surely good deeds and it's a shame that east muslims cannot learn but if you you know you are calling it humor here but to some there appears to be a movement in europe dedicated to in some ways belittling islam and many opportunities many would say the media campaigns against against islam are quite common in much of the western world but isn't it isn't it obvious that muslims would then radicalize when all they get is criticism and intolerance perhaps just think about all the lectures. see through since your goodness in my country i mean mark and i also persons during the last two or three hundred years we've been laughing at those christians who will spend six who was indeed who you know the
8:21 am
fanatics and we laughed at them and we think it's funny we make fun of them christianity has taken so much the jewish religion has taken so much why can't we make fun of islam and that's what i say so and so in your eyes are making making fun of religion is a light hearted joke perhaps but this story will be taken up by some other publications down the mainstream media reprinted and then it will reinforce public opposition to islam all because of ultimately what is suspected to be just a few people who carried out this attack is it fair to generalize here. the point is what we really want. to do. this what is it they want us to do they want us to keep quiet do not want us to have pride so religion it is part of our how our system i mean when i went to university once i started the ology for two or three years ago in university the main thing there was critics criticizing the
8:22 am
bible criticizing the scriptures. wondering if it does it's not allowed it's law and i think if we do start accepting threats then we have lost so that's why i think it's very courageous. to do this and be again but you must cross into the let's hope somebody else will carry on because we need to say to these people you know you are not the one to decide we decide how about our free speech we all say what we like so and as i said i deputy speaker of the dentist parliament an m.p. for me then it people's party many thanks if you. get over to our sarah further reporting from greece where anti immigration sentiment is actually reaching a boiling point fuelled by the country's economic crisis. on the streets of greece protests have become a common occurrence this gatherings not one of the usual demonstrations. ever
8:23 am
gratian phrase that the ethnic tensions here in the city evidence of becoming more and more of a concern in the last three years illegal immigration into europe increased in particular has skyrocketed as the greek economy has plummeted crisis led. on exploiting poverty seeing a lot of people not being able to make ends meet face to these tough economic conditions it's not just extreme factions a society that has seen a rise in anti immigrant sentiment but every day greeks he faced with exceptionally tough sation circumstances have become to point the finger of blame. for the problem on the streets of athens has now become a kind of limbo for illegal immigrants who are struggling to make money and to survive even second generation immigrants who've lived in the country many years feeling the tension we've come to one of greece's neighborhoods of the danger is
8:24 am
a phrase high in a current population the local park here has become a saying mine a battleground. and we had to close the door because it was overrun with immigrants and no one could cross that everybody was scared and no group of people could come here it was not my playground. children are now forced to play their games here outside the closed gates of the park after this area with maybe they just say whether or not the press israel the fairness they certainly is it's technical question issues in israel. stays an issue because it's a symbol of the area they believe. that the police look good because even in many areas of the big losers things after midnight tonight meadows. the logical would be opening the market it being deployed in the night but it looks like that whether to bring it into the reason that is the yuri quite is continued ethnic tensions have
8:25 am
been growing into an extremely volatile and sometimes dangerous situation greece is a country now in the midst of not just a financial and economic crisis but an immigration crisis to trying to find a way to rebuild say shook asian here is not going to be easy surf r.t. athens. to stay with us here after your time now for the business with korea. welcome to our business thanks for joining me russ and start by giving up gains made earlier when say global equities are still reeling from the greek decision to hold a referendum on the e.u. bailout throwing the hope to doubts france and germany now say they use and along with the i.m.f. will hold new talks on aid for greece are to sit down martin who's at the r.t.l. stock exchange has the latest for. the russian market so the r.t.s.
8:26 am
and my sticks are starting to slip back from the earlier gains that they make they made and markets across europe that are opening are also slipping back we saw big losses yesterday all of this of course to do with the drama unfolding in greece the government there decided it would have a referendum on the euro road bailout plan they want to take that to the greek people to try and get more of a clear mandate that that has really are nervous a lot of the creditors of greece across the world the fear is that the greek people will simply say no so far all sorts of measures of greece a lot and this new bailout plan contains a lot more very severe government spending cuts which the people of greece do not like the potential if they did float no could be to create nothing short of a financial catastrophe it is very likely that if they did greece would see fault
8:27 am
honest payments greece could also leave the eurozone altogether and there is another possibility that another bailout may have to start being rolled together all three of those alternatives to greece going along with this plan all very painful alternatives indeed and they would send even bigger shock waves through international markets e.u. ministers themselves are saying that there is actually greece that there is no alternative to making these big cuts but they themselves are staring in the face of a collapse of this plan that they try to put together which they had announced would stop the eurozone crisis altogether it looks like that it is now teaching on the brink of collapse itself. hands rough numbers are still volatile through the main forces have regained from the last area. yes is now two point three percent rise it is over two percent and the black let's have
8:28 am
a look at. well the individuals have a license to sell most energy majors are all full of gas from gaining two point seven percent of the company's oral surgery have resumed operations and media crisis biggest lenders rare bank is up over one percent and telecommunications major boston economist gaining more than no point three percent after every point at twenty nine percent fall. let's look at europe where markets are mixed traders are keeping an eye on the u.s. credit which is about the least its latest policy statement fish for goods and is meeting mining companies high as the snapped today stop and finally oro its high as our light sweet is trading at around ninety three dollars a gallon while brant is it's one hundred ten and tops above. and that's all a test of this business update but i'll be back with more in less than one hour from now so try me.
