margetts weiner scandal. find out what's really happening to the global economy is causing reports on our team. in greece as the country's prime minister backtracked on a plan to hold a bailout referendum that angered european leaders and he faces a crucial confidence vote later friday. as the greek financial turmoil dominates the g twenty summit in france protesters gathering nearby resorts in new and novel methods of drawing world leaders attention to people's problems by mocking their meeting. back from the red planet the longest simulation in space history drawing to a close as six volunteers are those who leave their mock space ship and see daylight for the first time in more than five hundred days. at a british student could be handed over to u.s. authorities for alleged internet piracy permitted on home soil five through

a controversial extradition treaty between the two countries. ten am in moscow i match president good to have you with us here on r.t. our top story it's going to be another day of roller coaster news from greece where the government faces a crucial confidence vote prime minister george papandreou has already made a huge here and on plans to hold a referendum on the e.u. bailout proposal he was under heavy pressure not only from world leaders but also his own government which is turning up the volume of calls for him to step down or he sarah ferguson has more from athens. really it's going to be a major hurdle he's got a very small majority and he's a government at the moment one hundred fifty. three hundred seat government and we've seen an incredibly turbulent week here in greece the week starting with the prime minister announcing that he planned to hold

a referendum on the bailout plan to shock waste three daily they need isn't using countries but within his government as well it is a very very controversial announcements and we saw yesterday his parliament here just essentially killing off the referendum he was talking about the fact that they face a dilemma and if they were able to reach a consensus with the opposition party about the bailout plans and the referendum would be off the table say me appears to be the case maybe who got to have a bit more support amongst the gleason his party who are very very unhappy about this is definitely in their cynicism about these announcements that they make when it comes to talking to itself in the path of policy i mean make no mistake they are incredibly popular a lot of people here in the country is saying is that to be quite honest even maintaining the saw as we see here in greece and then is proving pretty difficult the danger with the current situation is that once. the possibility of.

them it gets withdrawn. there's a danger of a reaction against the political class is a bit. of discussion and if there's some sort of shift. to the referendum. thing at the moment is this whitening gap between the rest right this coming from the government here and the they need is the reality on the ground in the country we also spoke with gerald celente director of the trends research center who said that you leaders are just using greece as a scapegoat for their own bigger mistakes the whole european union is in great danger listen to the words. silvio berlusconi that he said on saturday that was hardly repeated he said it was a strange currency that has not convinced anyone that's what he said and then of course he backtracked right away it's bigger than greece and that's what you see

they're using greece as the excuse for the whole failure of it's the one of the smallest countries in the end new it's peanuts compared to italy which is in much greater danger with the watch word g.d.p. to. debt ratio and then you have ireland you have spain this is it is what are they going to do to give greece another couple of billion dollars when they're half a trillion in debt so no it's much worse than that. turmoil is taking over of the g twenty summit in cannes observers have only been able to guess just what it was under the merkel and nicolas sarkozy said to pop in great you caused his backtrack a referendum plans or he's a nice or now he has more from the conference. the final day of the g. twenty here in cannes will have three working sessions and it will end with a press conference given by host nicolas sarkozy the greek tragedy has taken over this entire summit other issues pushed aside i believe this news of course of the

greek prime minister backtracking and saying the referendum won't be held it won't be decided by the people making european leaders here is actually the backbone of the euro zone of france and germany very satisfied with the way things are going at the close from due to the leader of the opposition made a statement indicating that he supported the twenty seventh of october a plan that is a very important and courageous step and support hundred statements also indicated the referendum is not an end in itself that it was a tool that was going to do considers it since the opposition supporters of the plan then it became less useful to critics analyzing this in different ways some of the. i'm saying that france and germany have basically said you either play by our rules or you get out and greece has decided that this is the way to go that they don't want to the euro zone a lot of different base going on here are skeptics saying that you're just moving the problem down the road that eventually greece

will have to default bureaucrat saying this is the only way to save the euro nicolas sarkozy calling it the beating heart of europe and that we will never let it die and that is going to be what a lot of these leaders are speaking about in these final sessions of the summit comes to an end on this second day with that said i'm urging economies worried about their voice that they agreed the brics that they would try to help the eurozone they would give money to come into agreed on a final sound but they have a condition and president medvedev made it very clear that it's not a hidden agenda they want their voices to be heard they want more say in the i.m.f. and other financial institutions of course the g. trying to was created to widen the spectrum to have not just these decisions on the global economy be made by the seven most richest countries as countries but by the twenty biggest economies and the big question is has not been done yet. further up the coast in nice and monaco anti g twenty protesters were holding their own

gatherings angry at the rich for dictating the fate of others they say they wanted change of tactics to get their message across or he's daniel bushell has more. this is must just go on the coast from the g. twenty summit venue here in come to malta co monaco of course a tax free haven for them so it's a saying the banker who gets a big. public bailout for example can simply move to monaco and not even pay a single cent right now would be this promise to get rid of tight savings that previous g twenty summits demonstrates that was the greek the best still hasn't happened they still haven't taken action well let's go to a few months of nuclear thought because the call and barack obama. of organized an alternative summit media conference and here's what they had to see something he only told me that he flew for the final of the week and i want those back with me because you know i'm the only good brain and we want. to might let the fake angler

merkel added we support the greek referendum on the euro bailout but only if they vote yes so considering the growth of official statements that coming out of the can summit some here say that this is the perhaps the more interesting of the two summits. corelli's earlier in the week which had thousands of french police bridie from four lips which in fact never came straight to have changed it but changed the strategy of going from the grisham that we thought the previous g twenty summits to approach of mocking leaders who seemed so out of touch with the problems of ordinary people today. coming out later here on our t.v. report from the front lines of one of the biggest occupy wall street protests they were shooting last bond and there are three of them at people's tear gas rubber bullets several injured dozens arrested our correspondent right now is how it all unfolded in the city of oakland lots. of nato denies reports of

a planned missile attack on iran we report where such threats of possible military intervention could lead. but first a few hours the curvy international mission to mars will finally return to earth in moscow bringing one of the world's most grueling scientific experiments to a close six volunteers will see daylight for the first time in five hundred twenty days that's how long they spend isolated penton a mocked up space ship simulating a trip to the red planet and back for more on this. peter hour with all the details so it's not just a big day for these six men but also for science as well well it is indeed the end is in sight for the mars five hundred project five hundred. hundred and twenty days the six men from all around the world three from russia one from china one from europe one from central america at the expense inside a simulated spacecraft simulating what's on the screen behind me right there a mission to the martian surface and back home to earth now they're going through

their final preparations ahead of their landing back on earth all this of course without even leaving central moscow this mock up of the mars of a martian spacecraft has been built in a facility right in the center of the russian capital. so all of this traveling done well without really going that far but they have been trapped though inside this this small this mocked up module for the amount of time it would take to make the actual journey going through the same trials and tribulations as if they had been rocketing through the cosmos including the fact that any kind of contact be hard with the earth was a similar delay that it would be if they were sending no signals out into space and receiving them back so they have had to put up with quite a bit of hardship for really good chunk of time five hundred twenty days locked with the the same people every single day it's got to be tough and tom barton now

reports he's been following the progress of these guys since they first went in he brings us this report about how what they're doing right now. five hundred and twenty days away from earth. in the cold depths of space on a mission to the red planet. well not quite. these men have been sealed in spacecraft for seventeen months but they never left and could have quit the mars five hundred isolation experiment at any time i watched as this piece of string was set into this racks on june the third two thousand and ten despite many predictions to the contrary that seal has remained unbroken throughout the experiment and only now after all this time of the man inside i reunited with the outside world. i was afraid of conflicts that could lead to an early termination of the experiment and we tried to consider all

potential risks and nichole tensions. and scientists behind it wanted to see the six man crew be able to go all the time without severe psychological effects from the busy control room and i was able to ask one of them for myself how are your relationships with the other crew members changed. back to. being in the well. pete's parent was kept as real as possible with a twenty minute time delay in communications she was on its way and the team was alone they could talk freely with no problems but researchers decided to withhold

news from the outside world but that was tricky. we had to keep in mind that some information could come in with private correspondence and some real. could break and in this case any prolonged silence on our part could lead to tensions and misunderstanding and he could think that we withheld the information deliberately not the highlight of the trip was a simulated landing on mars with a long isolation boredom before it scientists observed with a maze just how real it became for them when they need motion for. this but i think it was a hundred sixty beats per minute now compared with a pulse of the first constant not your current one orbit it was one hundred fifty minutes the outside world has been intrigued. when the experiment failed one bookmaker put eight odds on one of the numbers going in c.

because of it. so even though it's only a dry run it's still a significant achievement the first martian pioneers. see. all the time locked inside an area that is essentially the size of a football pitch i'm sure they all have a very long list of things they want to get up to you and want to carry out when they get finally back home and back their friends and family but there might be certain psychological pressure of course i was part of the experiment but pressure for this guys once they return to earth adjusting to normal life and getting back to reality as it were tell us more about that after what comes their way after

their touchdown so to speak. studying the guys who've been locked inside the mosque five hundred experiments have been. saying that the experiment for them is essentially a success already due to the fact that nobody dropped out and nobody seems to have suffered any ill effects from being in there for this extended period of time now when the six that are released from the locked up spacecraft their ordeal still really isn't over they're going to go through a extensive a series of medical tests psychological evaluations to see what effect if any being away being away from society had upon them now the guys who were behind the mars five hundred project the project organizers are saying that well they're quite happy with the results that they've found and it could be a small part in the huge mcculloch's the small component in the huge process

of mankind reaching out and reaching out towards new galaxies. it's not even the first thing that we could be lifted off foot to take that first step before we decide on the equipment that we used in the flights miles we first need to have an understanding of the limits of the human body and psychological and physiological capacities and research in human capacity should go before the design of a spacecraft and scientists are quite active in designing new vehicles. well there's not long now until they step out of the spacecraft out of the mars five hundred module they'll be able to see sunlight for the first time live it see daylight they'll also be able to see those stars that apparently they've been pretending they've been traveling past for all of these days and will be there for all of thanks very much archy's there are remember we'll be following this unique experiment as it unfolds there of a day here on our to bring you a live update so stay with us. five hundred

days on a voyage to the unknown. a breakthrough in space travel. returned from the red planet. mars five hundred touched down on r.t. . the city of oakland california reeling after one of the biggest protests of the occupy wall street movement has seen eighty demonstrators were arrested several injured after what started out as a peaceful rally was met with heavy handed response from police toward the end of the day hours before that thousands of as like workers protesters forced a shutdown of america's largest port this is a general strike americans first and more than fifty years paralyzed several businesses in downtown oakland okies correspondent lucy cough and i was at the heart of unfolding events throughout the day and describes how they develop. we're standing across from oscar grant's plaza which is the site of the occupy oakland

movements where protesters have been camping out for weeks in order to raise their voices against knowledge inequality social injustice the same issues that are motivating thousands of occupy wall street movements all across the country but of course the images of the things that we're remembering images are what's now a story and this morning and sounds are no place these are the images they are going to be seen across all of the screens on the mainstream media the destruction the isolated absent vandalism and violence the on the ground opened we're going to take you through some of the moments as they unfolded it and we're still reporting from the it's about accu can hear behind me loud explosions possibly tear gas from the police officers there are at least a hundred not two hundred three hundred police officers in full riot gear as you can see advancing behind us right now on the occupy oakland movement now we don't know how many officers are back there we saw a massive group of them sort of walk down that street before that was the street of the standoff were several protesters had barricaded the street from the police

several several pieces of furniture and whatnot were lit on fire but again not enough of an action to provoke this kind of a militant response by the police force here they were shooting grasp on their freedom out people are amazed to be seen how november second in downtown oakland will be remembered will be the charred remains of a few eyes leave of instances of pilots but this is. that's not stepped out of the nuisance court reporting from downtown oakland arts and this is after. there's a detailed account of the dramatic events in oakland an exclusive video from our on the scene crew all there for you at our g r r t's you tube channel and our twitter feed also keeping an eye on the other cities where anti-war three protests are happening really the streets she says there's a lot of talk about a possible addiction of protesters at a camp in new york city how do you part that could happen as early as this friday stated on the latest protest with lucy capital's twitter feed the breach we retreated to underscore. nato has denied that it intends to

mount any preemptive strikes on iranian military facilities as far as mounting concerns that the u.s. britain and israel could be moving toward a policy of intervention in iran is ahead of a crucial report by the u.n. nuclear watchdog agency due next week assessing the military side of terrans controversial nuclear program political analyst chris bambery in the u.k. says any possible attempt to attack the country could lead to a fierce retaliation and a drawn out conflict. and he was reading the press reports on these contingency plans being joined by the minister of defense who wondered for an attack on iraq and must we worry that if iran is no it's developing and you could. be developed and you could be so faced with the idea that the americans the british and is really a looking towards an unprovoked attack. on the world sort of a much more dangerous place like. alliance with these three pows people in

the west seem to underestimate the strength of the radio national was a strong national member and so what happened for. free and it was with that installed i mean trained by britain and from america it's a people memories of the shah that we did know in the west of the shah it will be there will be a bloody war if there is that it's actually run iran is not iraq as of two thousand and one there will be retaliation visible and from our mass and the world is that the more dangerous place because of these reports. british media says an attack on iran could come as soon as next november due to the country's resilience despite international sanctions being staff various media say the u.k.'s ministry of defense and whitehall as sources check things out and call at r t. a british student could be extradited to the us over alleged internet piracy experts say even if he was found guilty by a court at home he would have most likely face our five events could have taken

could take a much worse turn for him in the us thanks to a controversial extradition treaty signed into law during the boyer era artie's i bet it has waffled on. on the surface there are a picture of that these are very anxious times for richard o'dwyer and his family the university students facing possible extradition to america for alleged copyright infringement he ran a website providing links to pirated videos it wasn't a problem for british or thor sees it rich is nevertheless a wanted man you know it's really just awful. ranking because you know if richard had done anything wrong we were quite happy for him to be responsible in this very very long time a case is now being heard at this magistrate's court in london the latest chapter in julie's struggle to keep the son it they told us that the million best geisha in

the u.k. had been draw so it was like a bit of a sigh of a really being the next sentence things that would go an extradition warrant to marry me. and then you must go to the court immediately i thought he was going to be extradited like the date richards website t.v. show was a free stand close to pirated content including the latest hollywood blockbusters none of it was actually provided by him but that doesn't matter to america it says the site breached a copyright laws and claims he's there is to punish. because the web site's lucrative advertising was aimed at us can seaman's these courses where richard o'dwyer spates will be decided royds on whether or not his actions are considered to be a crime in the u.k. this trial was his last chance to put forward his defense and now it's up to the judge to decide but according to digital lore experts and the citizens not a tough one to make it's quite possible that he's only him guilty of

a civil offense offenses you know something he could potentially get fined for and you know it's clearly a u.k. case as well because he was doing this in the u.k. so really any case for him to be extradited to the united states is not clearly was infringing copyright in united states britain signed the extradition treaty with america in two thousand and three nearly a decade on the controversy still surrounds it the u.s. can extradite whoever it wants without proof or hearing privileges the u.k. does not get the treaty was a muscle change for the government while in opposition but a recent review it commissions just deemed the treaty still fair several leading in peace refused to agree though but the commons home affairs committee calling for changes was a mistake in the first with some history i think it was a mistake it's not a level playing field even with a partner like america we need to make sure that we are being equal and we are

being fair to our citizens and that is not the case at the moment opposition against the extradition treaty is growing in westminster dissenting in peace of just force through a debate on it later this month and the parliamentary review on it is jus in the new year all this may be too late for richard he is just two weeks until he learns where they are america will get what it wants i've given it r.t. london. turning now to some other stories making headlines across the globe a suicide car bomb hit the compound of a nato contractor in western afghanistan thursday after the bombing three gunmen stormed the property holding several employees hostage sparking a long running gunfight with nato troops two security guards and all five attackers were killed though thirty one people were rescued the attack comes just days after the taliban launched an assault on a un office in southern afghanistan. seven workers have been
