7:01 am
coming to you live from the heart of moscow and this is with me rory solution it is a shaky time for leaders of the world's twenty biggest economies who right now meeting in france for the eurozone is troubling after greece's shocking announcement that it's to hold a referendum on e.u. eurozone bailout plans. now as in can. leaders of the world's twenty biggest economies are now all here in cannes where it is raining and in fact of course this year a crisis raining on nicolas sarkozy's parade as a host so just say as the crisis is pretty much hijacked the entire summit there will be some bilateral meetings on the sidelines of brics economies meeting just taken place president medvedev there saying that the leaders have agreed on coming up with a common strategy on the euro crisis of course this crisis fex them much less than
7:02 am
the g. seven for say seven of the world's richest economies and most of those european economies but there are what that common strategy is their position towards fuel prices is most certainly going to once again reiterate the fact that it can't just be the world's eight or seven richest countries that decide what's happens for the whole world the g twenty was created of course to widen the discussion to make sure that it's not just the top economists that the whole world really has a say in how to rebuild the financial system because it was those richest economies which got us into the crisis of two thousand and eight and that's why the g. twenty was created perhaps said the euro crisis completely taken over as i mentioned after that bombshell by the greek prime minister a referendum will now be held in december nicolas sarkozy and angela merkel calling summoning really the greece prime minister on the eve of this summit telling him his decision was unilateral and that they were may go ahead and hold the referendum
7:03 am
but money will not be given unless the country is ready to make those cuts of course the people as we seen for the last year out on the street not ready to deal with those cuts to accept and then the greek finance minister coming out today and saying he believes that the referendum in fact shouldn't affect the decision on the euro's really a showdown here between bureaucrats and euro skeptics at this year's t twenty. percent are either hopes to run high among euro zone leaders that thought developing economies including china will help the struggling beijing based correspondent shannon brown song says that if china agrees to come to the rescue it will come at a price. listen china will likely be asking for some major concessions one route for china's funding of the bailout fund would go through the i am not sure and i am i find that i am at historically has been dominated by the united states and european powers and developing countries of long argued for greater voting power and more of a voice than i am so it's possible that china would demand greater voting powers
7:04 am
within the i.m.f. for having its money go through them after the euro zone so that's one thing and that of course would diminish the influence of western powers and not and not find another thing that china may ask for is greater opportunities for foreign direct investment into europe and i that means sensually buying companies technology companies and so on and europe and the us so if china decides to help out the euro zone in a crisis china will use every bit of its leverage that it can right now china has all the money and as one analyst put it china is right now the banker to the world china's influence is only such a grow and i think what we're seeing right now is you're seeing europe in the united states in a state of crisis because of the forces of globalization and they're proud on the and a larger scale you're seeing a shift of power and a shift and influence both i can all my power and political influence to the east sense of china. already i mean just what twenty five twenty six minutes about would
7:05 am
be a box cars are in states you hope we're discussing whether the legends of old school rock and roll might have made a better job of fixing the financial today because politicians. john lennon and yoko ono were actually watching the kaiser report during their famous bed in in one thousand nine hundred sixty nine and you see you know this is a unique perspective not very many people look at this shot from that time but as you can see they were also saying all we are saying is let the banks fail and crys their karma at the time nobody thought to look at the full thirty sixty of that stuff exactly to look at some of the. the posters on the wall like make love not debt now suddenly in the year two thousand and eleven john and yoko were close buoyant they saw john was a visionary he saw the future he knew it was coming. to
7:06 am
stay with us for the upcoming kaiser report now in the u.s. so all eyes are on oakland now where clashes have erupted between police and corporate protesters over forty people have reportedly been arrested by police so far and tear gas and rubber bullets to disperse the crowds earlier we talked to our own lucy couple of who's on the scene and here's what she had to say. i can hear behind me. my last. two hundred three hundred police officers or riot gear standing before me about ten feet away from me in a rather intimidating sight. are lined up shoulder to shoulder or road just moments ago they issued an order for all of the protesters to just. allow paper they had also said that anyone can remain in the area regardless of their business carry on. and they said that they do have permission to.
7:07 am
go agents. possibly. now appears. to be earlier. but basically what happened three minutes ago. taken over by the. territory were literally. the officers. precinct. behind me here in camp we are. going to be marching broadway where we're standing for reclaim the base and. out. i'm just
7:08 am
a bad idea probably of thousands paralyzed port area one of america's busiest and managed to disrupt businesses in the city capital which also there is the event on call that she sent us this report. we're here at the port of oakland where the occupy wall street protesters have successfully shut down the courts the crowd you see behind me is gathered here because one of the workers tried to speed through the crowd almost running over several protesters trying to get through the human mind the human barricade the presenter surrounded the car venting them from going he's now backing out but a lot of folks here furious thousands of people have gathered here and again the port of oakland has effectively been shut down and several thousand people have marched from downtown oakland on to this area they shut down all of the gates effectively spending a warning shot they say to the so-called one percent the corporate owners the courts trying to hurt the top of these where it hurts the most in the pocket in the economic sense whether or not this these kinds of tactics are going to be repeated
7:09 am
at other occupy wall street movements remains to be seen i think that at the very least there's going to be a new tool in the arsenal of the occupy wall street movement go see sort of be the power that folks have to organize on short notice and to take out these kinds of actions that you know can't really be ignored regardless of whether you stand for or against this issue it's sad it's like he is that affect the pocket books but the large corporations that do get noticed i think that protesters will sort of learn a lesson from that or perhaps employ that in other areas i reporting from downtown oakland at the port of oakland for r.t.e. . and lucy is keeping us updated to hold the latest developments with twitter feed which also describes the most dramatic of the day you know. she reveals how the also the crew was unable to leave the port have the filming of coming into a crowd luciana come around i go surrounded by protesters who voted on whether and
7:10 am
also that the past couple of the events and i've received an awful twitter feed. tweets about see other school. russian businessman victor boot has been found guilty by a new york jury of trafficking arms to terrorists he was arrested in thailand three years ago and later after several attempts by the u.s. extradited in two thousand and ten. has the latest. just one day after deliberations began a jury of twelve handed down that verdict and the verdict is that they found the russian businessman businessman victor boot guilty on all the charges that were leveraged against him by the united states and those charges include conspiring to kill americans and inspiring to kill u.s. officials trafficking rockets and also he was charged with supplying arms to the revolutionary armed forces of colombia an organization the united states deems as
7:11 am
terrorists now this this trial of victor boot went on for about three weeks but his presence here in the united states has garnered a lot of attention as we've been reporting the u.s. fought very hard to get victor victor boot extradited from thailand to the u.s. over a year ago but that fight was taking place since mr coote was arrested during a sting operation in thailand in march two thousand and eight. has pled not guilty on all the charges and he still maintains his innocence his attorney albert diane did speak to the press following today's events that took place in court so this is not the end but he still has a chance we have a chance to will again we can appeal to the judge. the verdict was rendered against the weight of the bill and then we could also proceed to the united states court of appeals but we are disappointed at this verdict now that he's been found guilty on
7:12 am
these charges he faces a sentence of anywhere between twenty five years and life in prison that is part of what i write that russia continues to question the grounds of the case against symbolic i think you know this girl has details from. russia strongly criticizes the u.s. courts decision saying that it's a big question into how lawful was it that the us managed to get all the seats or in the first place since it was twice that a thai court could not find enough evidence to extradite him then all of a sudden it changed its mind in just a few hours after that which was on the plane headed to the u.s. back in two thousand and ten and the foreign ministry here in moscow says that this was a result of political pressure applied on thailand's why washington also claims that a negative image has been created around and this piece on purpose by u.s. media and all this makes a rush our question the u.s.
7:13 am
course objectivity at the moment the foreign ministry says that its main goal is to get to difficult back to russia. stuff right there in time author and investigative journalist daniel estulin says the boots case was used to cast a shadow on russia's image it was a part of the international global game russia basically was the n.b.a. game russia is the only nation in the world to actually stand up to me who really knows the russian dental plans of the bar who need to actually have there be one world government and you will go around to a company when we call it whatever you want them as just an example would be has actually been done against russia's interests across the world and the idea is i'm going to rule out businessmen will actually get access to weapons being a member of the rebellion the american government is called the neutral location be opposite of course you're going to be the opposite of the early years of that hugely are going to give us weapons and any weapons unless a powerful nation in this case obviously the insinuation that russia would actually
7:14 am
help them and stop lying with weapons we basically puts russia in the same cow probably ran north korea. i'm for sure who's up for his international game you know this. has come to an end. you know so we have you this hour here investigating the intervention the international criminal court in the hague world probe nato's bombings in libya allegations of war crimes. european stocks have a raised earlier losses after the euro area leaders halted eight degrees before its referendum on the region's bailout plan we're in business in ten minutes. ok now a quarter past the hour here in the russian capital with the influence of social networks growing specially at times on rest britain plans to use it against protesters it's following the summer's massive riots making youth club workers spy on their members is among the controversial proposals including monitoring messages
