nine am in moscow i match reza good to have you with us here on r t our top story it's a shaky time for leaders of the world's twenty biggest economies who are about to meet in france the eurozone is troubling after greece's shocking announcement that it will hold a referendum on euro bailout plans as are he's an isa now reports from cannes the summit could become the scene of a major standoff. it's your crowds versus your own skeptics at this year's g. twenty basically they can summit has been hijacked like this euro crisis after the greek prime minister dropped a bombshell saying that his country would host a referendum on whether or not to make cuts and accept this latest batch of bailouts being pushed by germany and france well the greek prime minister was summoned and told by angela merkel nicolas sarkozy the host of this year's summit the i.m.f. and the european central bank that basically the country needs to play by their rules or get out of the euro zone saying that his decision to hold this referendum

was unilateral other to change the psychological situation of the euro crisis but some of the analysts we've been speaking to say in a very sarcastic way will got through big the greek people should be the ones to decide the fate of their country perish the thought of the people who are the victims of the various so-called rescue packages that maybe the i.m.f. and the e.c.b. of cooks up for the last eighteen months or so perish the thought that they should actually be allowed to decide whether they want these things while some still think no matter what the outcome here in cannes that for greece the outcome in the end will be all the same i believe that the greeks will be forced into accepting whatever stereo measures or whatever bailout packages are dropped in their laps brussels and the g twenty the emerging economies were meeting of course in this year's g. twenty including russia have been saying for years that the financial system has to be completely remodelled of course in

different continents and they had d.n.a. informant highly paid the a informants dea agents and coconspirators so once they have him here now it is almost impossible to i think you know he'll ever leave the united states russia has repeatedly criticized extradition from thailand to the u.s. calling it quote extreme injustice but under u.s. law it is possible to have done someone who is deemed to be a threat according to international extradition lawyer douglas make now. there is u.s. supreme court of course. it is ok for a federal agent to go into a foreign country in contravention of that foreign countries law kidnap an individual and bringing to the u.s. the same problem the u.s. could look back at that individual was kidnapped in contravention of local law those it is not the places that have the indictment was reached i see. that potentially issues could be raised with regard to the appeal i'm not hopeful that
