a controversial extradition treaty between the two countries. eleven am in moscow i match reza 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 backtracked on his earlier plans to hold a referendum on the e.u. ballot proposal i was under heavy pressure not just from world leaders but also his own government which is now turning up the heat on calls for him to step down for more on this we go live to perth who joins us in athens oh sara so what are the chances now that pop injuries government will actually survive all this. well this that's about. the case in its dreamy shaky situation and so he can't see. at this
3:02 am
point just what that outcome will be no later on this evening he's going to make his back here and sit back and share this thought in that confidence eight hundred fifty. in parliament of the three hundred seat parliament he's got a technical security but a very very small one to be the number of times he's made it clear that they're not going to be they think in support of a number of them saying that unless possibly there's some kind of unity government that's a potential plan that's on the table if they don't pass they it's unclear really what will happen is thought that perhaps the most likely to some some form of temporary unity government will be full this being a very dramatic week of decisions that have been made the week starting with the prime minister announcing plans for a referendum on the bailout plan that was met with resistance not just from outside the country but from within his own government as well and yesterday in his parliamentary address if we think that that referendum plan was taken off the table
3:03 am
maybe that's going to help in the. same party stay in the conference a bit of course this is turbulence at the time very unstable very difficult point in the country and in the eurozone future to really the last thing that anyone wants to see with more certainty now the greek government's been surprised this week to say the least how the greek people themselves reacting to this ever changing new. movie speaking to a lot of people here in athens and the feeling really is the puffin jay's heart is day that it's time for the prime minister. to let someone else take the helm state because really there's a real sense of frustration and disappointment at the way he's handled this crisis and taken a lot of the positions of credibility with a lot of the statements that we hear anything else really drove the people who. i
3:04 am
think we have lost the trust that any of these actions against leads to sustainable plans needing food in the future you're looking at a country and a population that is suffering from economic exhaustion and we see people coming up . to say that public protests in the street still have people saying that really they feel that that being nude in this place and. the danger with the kind of situation is that one. possibility of. them it. is a reaction against the political class is a. distraction and it's something to see if. they do the referendum. of course but they going ahead later on this evening like the once again the family own grief but the real question here is it's such a loss of hope they come in the fight with us tonight doesn't really even if they
3:05 am
can survive that confidence they have very little people often with the kids. for a fly for us and thanks for that report. you also spoke with gerald celente director of the trends research center who says that new 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 of silvio berlusconi that he said on saturday there were hardly repeated he said it was the 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 using greece as the excuse for the whole thing it's the one of the snowless countries in the end new it's peanuts compared to italy which is in much greater danger with the watch worse g d p two
3:06 am
debt ratio and then you have on ireland and you have spain this 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. greek turmoil is taking over of the g twenty summit in cannes observers have only been able to guess just what it was that anglo merkel and nicolas sarkozy said to george papa dry you that causes backtrack on the referendum plans or keys and he said now it has more. the final day of the g trying to eat here in cannes will have three working sessions and will and with the press conference given by host nicolas sarkozy the greek tragedy has taken over this entire summit other issues pushed aside the latest news of course of the greek prime minister backtracking and saying the referendum won't be held to won't be decided by the people making european leaders here is specially the
3:07 am
backbone of the euro zone of france and germany very satisfied with the way things are going. to be the leader of the opposition made a statement indicating that he supported the twenty seventh of october plan that is a very important and courageous step by step up and drew statements also indicate that the referendum is not an end in itself it was a tool that was going to be considered but since the opposition supported the plan then it became less useful. to critics and analyzing this in different ways some of them perhaps saying the 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 they don't want to the euro zone a lot of different debates go and i euro 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 nucor sarkozy calling it the beating heart of europe and that we will never let it die and that is going to be what
3:08 am
a lot of these leaders are speaking about in these final sessions as the summit comes to an end on this second day with that said i'm urging a con and he's worried about their own voice that they agreed the brics that they would try to help the euro zone they would give money to hundred read 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 twenty was created to widen the spectrum to have not just the. decisions on the global economy be made by the seven most which is country richest countries but by the twenty eight biggest economies and the big question is has that been. farther up their french 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 argues daniel bushell has. just as much just down the coast
3:09 am
from the g twenty summit venue here in cannes to monaco monaco of course a tax free haven for them and so to saying that a banker who gets a big bonus offer a public bailout for example can simply move to monaco and not even pay a single cent in tax now world leaders promised to get rid of tax havens that previous g twenty summit demonstrates is obviously angry but that still hasn't happened they still haven't taken action form that. has drifted more through nicolas sarkozy angela merkel and barack obama of organized an alternative summit media conference and here's what they had to say something he told a movement. called the party was the week before but i want you because you not only good brain and heart we want to make sure that the fake angela merkel added we support the greek referendum on the euro bailout but only if they vote yes so considering the role of official statements that coming out of the can summit some
3:10 am
here say that this is the perhaps a more interesting of the two summits it follows the huge and t.-bone corelli's earlier in the week which had thousands of french police violence which in fact never came demonstrators have changed it but changed the strategy of going from the grisham that we saw the previous g twenty summit to approach of mocking world leaders who seem so out of touch with the problems of ordinary people today stay with us here on r.g.p. coming up later in the program we report from the front line as well. the biggest occupy wall street protests. they were shooting. there shooting them at people tear gas rubber bullets several injured dozens arrested our correspondent saw how it all went down in the city of oakland plus. the nato denies reports of a planned missile strike on iran to be a report on where such threats of military intervention could lead.

in just a few hours the crew of the 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 the exact time they spent isolated aboard a mock spaceship simulating a trip to the red planet and back peter all over as far with their journey. five hundred and twenty days these six men from all around the world three from russia one from china one from europe one from central america they've spent 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 they're head of well they're landing back on earth all this of course without even leaving central moscow this rocket of the mars martian spacecraft has been built in a facility right in the center of the russian capital but they have been trapped
3:12 am
though inside 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 they have had to put up with quite a bit of hardship for well it could chunk of time five hundred twenty days locked with the the same people every single day it's got to be tough and tom bart 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 twenty days away from. in the cold to save space on a mission to the red planet. will not point. these men have been sealed in a spacecraft for seventeen months but they never. could have quit the mars five hundred isolation experiment at any time i watched as this piece of string was set
3:13 am
into this wax on june 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 a man inside being 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 old tensions in the blood of the scientists behind it wanted to see if the six month crew be able to go all that time without severe psychological effects from the busy control room i was able to ask one of them for myself how of your relationships with the other crew members changed. or something like that to happen. in the world.
3:14 am
the experiment was kept as real as possible with a twenty minute time delay and communications. was on its way that meant the team was alone they could talk freely with the 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 private correspondence some relatives could break in this case any prolonged silence could lead to tensions and misunderstanding they could think that we withheld the information deliberately. the highlight of the cruise trip was a simulated landing on mars with long isolation and boredom before it scientists observed with amazement just how really they came for the when they made landfall. but that their pulse rate was one hundred sixty beats per minute compared with the
3:15 am
pulse of the first. on orbit it was one hundred fifty cubits. the outside world has been treat five hundred people betting on how and when the experiment. i want to make you put eight olds one of the crew members can see because of it. so even though it's a dry run it's still a significant achievement the first motion pioneers. well after all the time locked inside an area that is essentially the size of a football pitch i'm sure they all have
3:16 am
a very long list of things they want to get up to and want to carry out when they get finally back home and back to friends and family the guys who are hind the mars five hundred project the project organizers are saying that they're quite happy with the results that they found and it could be a small part in the huge mechanics the. small component in the huge process of mankind reaching out and reaching out towards new galaxies. it's not even the first step we've only lifted off foot to take that first step before we destroyed only equipment that we used in a flight smiles we first need to have an understanding of the limits of the human body is psychological and physiological capacities for which research in human capacity should go before the design of a spacecraft so do all scientists are quite active in designing new vehicles. well that's not long now until they step out of the mark so spacecraft out of the last
