britain france the real dominate economic and military powers they want to show a world order a system of states that still has stability 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 a helicopters overhead at the moment you can hear police sirens so there's police really have mounted this military style operation to shut down and stop any of the protesters going where they don't want them to go one former diplomat says western leaders can't continue to just block criticism this whole idea that. they 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 billed dicksee of the latest western bank to get bail dealt with public money growing numbers here worry 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 when. pro quo beer corporate lobbyist police roadblocks ball demonstrators getting from me to the me boy town of cannon with the g. twenty takes place but it's becoming ever holder to start world leaders hearing the voices of protest the new bush you all see in me sprints. lists are world wide expect this year's summit will focus on getting developing nations more involved in stabilizing the world's accounts despite protests and differences it's essential that world leaders meet face to face to work out a common approach that's according to our coverage of the eight to the russian president. result this kind of direct dialogue. we could face much more difficult consequences so the financial turmoil that happened in two thousand and eight in your phone conversations are too formal for those kinds of
8:04 am
decisions especially given the differences in. the traditions in fuel or. various nations let's take united states and china for conversations that do not help they need to talk to each other that ekta to each some kind of compromise some global issues. and you can catch more of his thoughts on the g 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 call shocked e.u. leaders and sparked chaos on world markets and even came as a shock to greeks themselves with pro bailout m.p.'s calling for his immediate resignation the prime minister to fly to cannes to explain his actions before german chancellor angela merkel and french president nicolas sarkozy the chief
8:05 am
sponsors of greece's financial life support machines financial adviser and our own wealth management marco if you have to call it says the fate of the eurozone is now . firmly in the hands of greeks. this may well 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 u. and it's unsustainable in my view the best the best option for the greeks is to default of course that there is much bigger financial consequences for the for the rest of europe and for the rest of the world if that happens. if we're talking about what is in the best interest of the greek people and then then then as probably the best outcome effectively greek the faults then you have to look at who
8:06 am
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 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 existing mood of desperation caused by austerity measures some greeks to make immigrants scared. and here we go again the u.n. nuclear watchdog claims to have found a secret nuclear plant in syria that doesn't cut spending part really pose a threat or is it another cry of.
8:07 am
wiki leaks founder julian assange may find himself on swedish soil very soon after losing his battle against extradition from britain there you'll have to answer sexual misconduct charges which he denies and describes as. clee motivated let's now across life want to go laura smith who is also at london's high court laura hi to you so is there any chance at this point that he could still avoid extradition. but 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 will appeal he's got fourteen days to do that but an appeal is no longer all sematic he has to be granted permission by the high court to appeal to the supremes cools the highest court in the land and that will only be granted if it's deemed by the haiku that this case represents why it's a precedent that it up a applies to the wider public in its results now he did come out on
8:08 am
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 whose new ones people and that which he intends to spin what happens at the cool head today and directed them to his website just 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 let's hear what he had to say about that. i have not been charged with any crime in any country. despite this the european arrest warrant is so restrictive that it prevents u.k. court from considering her overcoat as judges have made clear here today. sue and his team considering that next steps and for more on really on the european arrest warrant time joined by jim carr
8:09 am
and he's the chair of an organization called civil rights international. jim if this case does go to the sea pretty cool what it looks like clean. figure panna wrestler and itself could come under scrutiny is that something that you would welcome yes. i do think the european arrest warrant should come under scrutiny because it is being abused for political purposes because when you know song was in sweden he did go before the court and they should not allowed him to leave sweden once he was there he should have been tried if they told there was a case against him and then he was allowed to come here to england and now after that then i believe that there was pressure put on the swedish government perhaps by the american government by other governments who were embarrassed as a result of the revelations that wiki leaks exposed to the international community
8:10 am
and i believe that that is why i. tried to get a mixed bag so you do believe that this case is politically made to bases that yes i do believe it is politically motivated 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 the irish freedom fighters and also against freedom fighters from the bus country that most of the original purpose off them that was to get them easily extradited from one country to another because when. england tried to extradite people from ireland they encountered a whole lot of legal problems so you would like to see the warrant scrapped yes i would like to see the warrant scrapped and i would like to see the european first one script and also the one storm erica because there is very great concern here in the united kingdom about extradition stood united states because many people
8:11 am
believe that they would not get a fair hearing in indian ited states and maybe right. if it is extradited to sweden what the fear here among civil rights lawyers and civil rights groups. then there would be not be occasion for extradition from sweden to the united states and that's the major concern of civil rights groups because it will be more difficult to make should die to hear from england to the united states than it would be from sweden jim carr thank you very much as simple as that talking to us outside the high court where julian assange has now in lefty's gone back presumably to the house all full and smith in norfolk outside london where he has been held under strict 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
8:12 am
will walk free at the end of a civil. life outside london's high court many times. we are also always interested me what you think about the u.k.'s court verdict at r.t. dot com we are asking you about it let's have a look at the stats 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 a fair trial. 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 has a reporter who has been closely following the story says the only purpose of these
8:13 am
allegations is to make syria then you book him. yes this is a way of heaping more pressure on syria during a time when the uprising has 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 a bit suspicious a bit dodgy they're poking their nose in what i would say political theater the political response rather than for any reasons of security concerns at this current time and i think it's very telling that 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 mobs of to fro at the situation to try and affectively build up a narrative which they can use should they necessarily want to intervene in the
8:14 am
future i mean certainly syria is being recast in this situation as one of the one of the countries that needs to watch you know one of the countries that former for example a new act of evil or something along those lines so i think it is being used for strategic reasons the only thing that will really where is if it 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 what they want to do and determine their own future now a quarter past the hour here in moscow by russian investigators have concluded the crew applied the brakes during takeoff caused the plane to crash in your us laugh all of the killed forty four people in september telling the markup and i will 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 during
8:15 am
takeoff. well. there were several that could be several reasons for that first of all they investigate it investigation has shown that those pilots were trained how to operate forty planes for a very long time and then they had just reached forty and according to the committee those planes have a very different brake pads all systems which share the pilots didn't have enough time to get used to 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. strongly in fact one of the reflexes and was 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 that were apparently and from the conversations records from the black box in the press conference that we were listening to it was pretty clear
8:16 am
that. they sounded very negligent there was a lot of swearing and the interstates to. actually saying that it sounds like the pilots did not come she waits all the parameters for the takeoff before before hand so they were not prepared for that. all right. thank you . all our website you can find all the details. you can log on to read about the soul of the crash. and cope with the loss and see the dr to rebuild the wife. also online fighting for their rights. clean up squad members try to force their way into the ukrainian parliament. to benefit. so much more.
8:17 am
it's good to have you with us on this wednesday here. the leaders of turkey and germany have met as the nation celebrate the fiftieth anniversary of an historic guest worker pact or the deal hundreds of thousands of turks to then west germany to fill jobs as industry boom but the anniversary comes during a heavy debate over the concept of multiculturalism in europe which many say is failing or perhaps exemplified this the office of a satirical french newspaper was firebombed after named prophet mohammad 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 soren esquith 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
8:18 am
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 of view the program of two. thousand so thousands and millions of people from europe creating a new society that's very provocative but 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 well of course it is i mean it's quite. like you there own you are you let's cross the wires by fanatics who do not accept any critiques of religion and want us to it to us thereby destroying the freedom of speech in europe and that's really what it's about. you
8:19 am
but by petrol bombing or fire bombing a newspaper office a newspaper bureau there i don't really take that as an impression of a radical islamists trying to get people to assimilate to their religion it seems to me their tempers are flared by a by calling the prophet mohammad the editor in chief for the week. no it isn't it is a question. wanting to decide what can be serious what can be and what can be drawn. challenging how sweet it was speech and i think that's one of the most cherished freedoms that we have it's all so we should not accept this by any chance and i think that all right that might be provocative also what you list also what shall you do in war in order to say no we have to stand here we will see what we like we will laugh at what we like this also very humid and lots of humor in one surely these it's a shame that these muslims cannot learn but if you you know you are calling it
8:20 am
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 me again since lamb 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 could is criticism and intolerance perhaps just think about all the lectures that christianity has received through a centuries my goodness in my country i mean there have been marked. by all sorts of persons during the last two three hundred years we've been laughing at those christians who were. who was indeed. you know 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 so let's say so and so in your eyes are making making fun of religion is a light hearted joke perhaps but that story will be taken up by similar
8:21 am
publications on the mainstream media reprinted and then 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 is that they really want. to do those fantasy it's like this what is it they want us to do they want us to keep quiet they do not want us to have white christians so religion that is part of our our system i mean when i went to university once i started theology for two or three years of copenhagen university the main thing there was critics criticizing the bible criticizing the scriptures being wondering if there is not allowed in islam 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 indeed again maybe this person did a lot hope somebody else will carry on because we need to say to these people you
8:22 am
know you are not the one to decide we decide how about our free speech we all say what we like so and as presented deputy speaker of the danish parliament an m.p. from the danish people's party many thanks thank you. right now let's get over to our sara furthur reporting from greece where anti immigration sentiment is actually reaching a boiling point fueled by the country's economic woes. on the streets of greece protests have become a common occurrence this gatherings not one of the usual demonstrations. ever gratian pride that the ethnic tensions here in the city evident and of becoming more and more of a concern in the last few years illegal immigration into europe increase in particular has skyrocketed the greek economy has plummeted the crisis is laid. on employment poverty creasing to a lot of people not being able to make ends meet face to these tough economic
8:23 am
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 social circumstances have begun to point the finger of blame. for. their problems 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 dangers a first high immigrant population the local park here has become its own mine a battleground. we had to close the period because it was overrun with immigrants no one could cross the call everybody was scared and no group of people could come here it was not a playground. for the children are now forced to play their games here outside the
8:24 am
closed gates of the part of the best area with thank you dangerous say whether or not the threat is real the fairness neighborhood certainly is it's definitely contrition issues and it's getting stays an issue because it's a symbol of fear yeah baby leave me thinking that the place is not good because even in many areas of the world they closed the streams after midnight after night meadows. you're not to go to be open to be able to be imploded. because like the weather to the bank i don't see the reason but is the year a crisis continues ethnic tensions have been growing it 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 sir artie
8:25 am
athens. to stay with us here in our two year time now for the business with governor. perry welcome to our business of the thanks for joining me russ and stocks are giving up gains made early on wednesday global equities are still reeling from the greek decision to hold a referendum on the e.u. bailout throwing the whole plan into doubt france and germany now say they use and along with the i.m.f. will hold new talks on aid for greece now artie's martin who's at the r.t.s. stock exchange has the latest for us. the russian markets so the r.t.s. 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 bailout plan they want to put that to the greek people to
8:26 am
try and get more of a clear mandate for that but 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 austerity measures to 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 vote no could be to create nothing short of a financial catastrophe it is very likely that if they did greece would default on its 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 of very painful alternatives indeed and they would send even bigger shock waves through
8:27 am
international markets e.u. ministers themselves are saying that there is likely to greece that there is no alternative to making these big cuts but they themselves are staring in the face the collapse of this plan that they tried 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. and russian words are still volatile of course as have regained from the last of the irony of the day yes is now two point three percent and by six is over two percent and the black let's have a lot that's our. to go ahead with the license to sell most energy majors are all full of gas from gaining two point seven percent the company's oil subsidiary have resumed operations and media sources biggest lenders burbank is up over one percent and telecommunication major roles telecom is gaining more been point three percent
