fever in greece as the country's prime minister backtracked on a plan to hold out a bailout referendum that angered european leaders and he faces a crucial confidence vote later on friday. as the greek financial turmoil dominates g twenty discussion summit in france protesters gathering nearby resort to new methods of drawing world beaters attention to people's problems by mocking their meeting. from the red planet the longest simulation in space history drawing will close as six small and here is about to leave their mark space ship and see daylight for the first time in more than five hundred days. and a british student could be handed over to u.s. authorities for alleged internet piracy from that on home soil thanks to

a controversial extradition treaty between two countries. near and in moscow i match reza good to have you with us here on r t it's going to be another day of a roller coaster news from greece where the government faces a crucial confidence vote prime minister george papandreou has already made a u. turn on plans to hold a referendum on the e.u. bailout proposal that was under heavy pressure not just from the world leaders but from his own government which is turning up the calls for him to step down rocky sour first has more from athens. in an extremely tricky situation and an absolute in a county seat is just what that outcome will be later on this evening he's going to be asking will make his kid sit back and share the support that confidence eight

hundred fifty seats in the name in. parliament of a three hundred seat parliament was good technical maturity but a very very small one in the pin number of m.p.'s i did it made it clear that they will thank you very think in support of numbers in saying that unless possibly some kind of unity government formed that's a potential plan that's on the table if they came past the confidence they have really what will happen is thought that perhaps that's the most likely the some for some form of temporary unity government will be full this being very dramatic week decisions that have been made the week starting with the prime minister announcing plans for a referendum on these bailouts plans that was met with resistance not just from outside the country from within his own government as well and yesterday in his parliament she addressed everything but that referendum plan was taken off the table for the speaking to a lot of people here in athens and the feeling really is that two thousand days out

is a sign for the prime minister that the side let someone else take the helm states the because i really there's a real sense of frustration and disappointment at the way he's handled this crisis and taken a lot of the citizens who are looking at a country and a population that is suffering from economic exhaustion and we've seen people coming out time and again to show that public and it's still have people saying that really they feel that the thing in this place in their voices of the current situation is the one. for the possibility of. being. and against the political class as a whole it's better to let it be get a discussion. of some sort of see if both as being offered. to do that open ended. going ahead later on this evening like the one thing. we think that the real

question here is that such an oath of poppycock today in the privacy not government really even if. the fight that confidence they really a lot of people asking whether it's caroled cilento a director of a trans research center saying e.u. leaders simply using greece as a scapegoat for their own bigger problems the whole european union is in great danger of listen to the words of silvio berlusconi that he said on saturday there 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 thing it's the one of the smallest countries in the one you it's peanuts compared to italy which is in much greater danger through the watch and worse g.d.p.

to. debt ratio and then you have ireland you have spain this is what are they going to do and give greece another couple of billion dollars when they're half a trillion in debt so no it's much worse than that. greed turmoils taken over the g. twenty summit in cannes observers have only been able to guess just what it was that nicolas sarkozy said to george pop and are you that quality is backtrack on the referendum plans or he's a nice in our way has more. the final day of the g twenty here in cannes will have three working sessions and will and with the past 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 hard to sided by the people making european leaders here especially the 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 is to put on drew statements also indicated the referendum is not an end in itself it was a tool that was going to be considered but since the opposition supporters of the plan then it became less useful. critics analyzing this in different ways some of them perhaps saying that france and germany have basically said you either played 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 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 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 own voice that they agreed the brics that they would try to help the euro zone they would give money but how much agreed on a final some but they have a condition and president mitigated 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 these decisions on the global economy be made by the seven most richest country just countries but by the twenty eight biggest economies and the big question is has that been done yet. farther up the french coast in nice and monaco anti g twenty protestors have been holding their own meetings gathering the rich for dictating the fate of others they want a change of tactics to get their message across or to use daniel bushell reports.

just this month just down the coast from the g. twenty summit venue here in cannes to monaco monaco of course a tax free haven it demonstrates a thing the banker who gets a big soft or 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 obviously angry but that still hasn't happened they still haven't taken action on that now because the drifted north of nicolas sarkozy angular mogul and barack obama have organized an alternative summit media conference and here's what they had to say we think we call it a movement. for the hunger we've been. back with me because you know i'm going to vote for him and. my plan. added we support the greek referendum on the euro bailout but only if they vote yes so considering the

road of official statements that coming out of the cannes summit some here say that this is perhaps a more interesting of the two summits is the huge on t. bone corelli's earlier in the week which had thousands of french police ready for violence which in fact never came straight to have changed that they've changed this strategy going from the grisham that we saw previous t twenty summits to approach of mocking leaders who seem so out of touch with the problems of ordinary people today. stay with us here on r.t. still to come on the program we report from the front lines of one of the biggest occupy wall street protests. people who leave. their shooting at people tear gas rubber bullets several injured dozens arrested our correspondent saw it all unfold in the seven year old way lots. as nato denies reports of a planned missile strike on iran europe or such threats of military intervention could lead. but first in

a few hours' time 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 mile in tears will see daylight for the first time in five hundred twenty days that's how long they spent pent up inside a mark spaceship simulating a trip to the red planet and back for more on this we're right by our it is here all of our hello peter so it's a big day for the six men but also for space exploration in general even though was a simulated flight still significant achievements tell us more that's right this experiment is being closely watched not just here in russia but around the world and that is of course a joint operation between the russian space agency and be repeated in space agency now they they've been it's also an international crew this representatives from china from europe from central america as well as its three russians making up the the six man crew there and their journey is about to come to an end five hundred

twenty days trapped inside a mocked up spacecraft that's roughly around the size of half of a football field not a lot of room to breathe in there and they've obviously been very up close and personal with each other finally they will be released from this experiment in well not long at all now they'll be able to to see the sunshine see the outside breathe in fresh air for the first time in a very very long time and exactly where that is going to be happening we can now cross to tom barton my colleague who is outside of the hatch. so what's happening there right now is they gear up to the opening of the p six crew members stepping back into the real world. well peter this is the door that they went into this six man on june the third two thousand and ten after five hundred twenty days they're about to come out of it very soon. a lot of people have

gathered here at the institute of biomedical problems in moscow to try and watch that moment there's obviously the media here a big media scrum gathered to try and watch the moment when they when they come out all the research is and scientists are to set up this experiment and have been monitoring them every day for all of that seventeen months and delegations representing the crew inside from russia from china and from europe as well the experiment itself has been primarily psychological in nature obviously they haven't been able to to bring zero gravity to this building in moscow nor have they been able to bring solar radiation for example but as far as they can they've made it as realistic as possible and they wanted to see how humans cope so long in an isolated or very routine environment and they have been worries of something called social narrowing that's the name given to some of the effects of spending a long time in isolation research as that bases have seen some of the people there

with draw from social environments they've stopped eating together they've worn a blank expression and it can go even further there have been reports of her of cosmonauts and astronauts and space suffering what some of dubbed space martinus where they've contemplated being in a metal box in space and that's really caused a lot of stress that is has been designed to test how long humans can go without suffering severe psychological impacts luckily it seems that none of those have been suffered and not also it doesn't seem it has been major tensions between the crew in two thousand there was an a shorter version of this experiment held that went badly wrong two crew members started fighting another tried to kiss a female crew member but none of those things also happened it seems to have gone relatively smoothly at the moment as we can see now. five hundred and twenty days away from earth overload in the cold depths of space

on a mission to the red planet and back well not quite. these men have been sealed in a mock spacecraft for seventeen months but they never left moscow 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 and despite many predictions to the contrary that seal had remained unbroken throughout the experiment and only now after all this time of the men inside being reunited with the outside world. i was afraid of conflicts that could lead to an early term a nation of the experiment we tried to consider all potential risks and old tensions in a bird. and scientists behind it wanted to see if the six man crew would be able to go all that 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. of course. keeps paramount was kept as real as possible with a twenty minute time delay and communications. was on its way and 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 with private correspondents some relatives could break the news in this case any prolonged silence on our part 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 a long isolation and boredom before it scientists observed with amazement just how little it became for them when they made landfall. but i think it was one hundred sixty beats per minute now compared with a pulse of the first cause yuri gagarin on orbit it was one hundred fifty beats per minute the outside world to has been intrigued by five hundred mostly from betting on how and when we experiment with. who can put eight olds one of the. c because of it.

so even though it's a dry run it's still a significant achievement first martian pioneers. so they managed to get through those challenges there is now a small worry that they might have problems readjusting to the crazy outside world is obviously very interested in them however they do all get one hundred thousand dollars that they've been paid century for giving up a year and a half of their lives i don't know peter do you think you'd be able to do it for that kind of money i'm worried i feel cheap definitely with the fifty. well yes the ordeal doesn't end soon as they come out of the capsule later on today they will be given a series of rigorous physical test as well as psychological evaluations so you find out any of the long term effects that being part of this project might have had now the those that are behind the the experiments and the scientists behind it are

already claiming that it is a success due to the data that they've received studying the psychological patterns and the wealthy social patterns that the crew have been able to get up to now however they are saying that although this has been a success it's still a very small part of the bigger picture when it comes to mankind reaching out and explore in a galaxy. it's not even the first step we've only lifted off foot to take that first step before we decide on the equipment we used in a flight to mons we first need to have an understanding of the limits of the human body the psychological and physiological capacities research in human capacities should go before the design of a spacecraft and then all scientists are quite active in designing new vehicles. so we'll be keeping you up to date on the progress that the mars five hundred crew are making as they prepare for reentry to earth just

a few hours to go we wait with anticipation here over and. martin as well thank you . robert we'll be following this unique experiment as it unfolds here on our team bring you updates throughout the day so stay with us for. five hundred days on a voyage to the go on. a breakthrough in space travel. returned from the red planet. mars five hundred touched down on r.t. . city of oakland california reeling after one of the biggest protests the occupy wall street movement has seen about eighty demonstrators arrested several injured after what started as a peaceful rally was met with heavy handed response from police at the end of the day now hours before that thousands of anti-corporate protesters forced a shutdown of america's largest pork this as the general strike america's first in

more than fifty years also paralyzed several businesses in downtown oakland parties using cough and i was at the heart of the unfolding events throughout the day describes how they developed. was staring across from oscar grant 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 enormous inequality social injustice the same issues that are motivating thousands of occupy wall street movements all across the country but of course images are the things that we remember images are what's now a story and this morning in downtown oakland these are the images they are going to be seeing across all of the screens on the mainstream media the destruction the isolated acts of vandalism and violence and you are on the ground in oakland we're going to take you through some of the moments as they unfold and again we're still reporting from the it's about mentoring as you can hear behind me loud explosions possibly tear gas from the police officers there are at least hundreds at the count two hundred three hundred police officers in full riot gear several men 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 for several protesters had barricaded the street from the police several pieces of furniture and whatnot were lit on fire pretty good and not enough . action to provoke this kind of a militant response by the police of course here they were shooting last month in their freedom out people currently in c.c. and how november second in downtown oakland will be remembered will be the charred remains of a few isolated instances. the pilots of the successful sat down at the nation's ports reporting from downtown oakland fartsy. as a detailed account of the dramatic events in oakland and exclusive video from the scene at our crew filmed on our you tube channel on our twitter feed lucy cavanagh of also keeping on top of events going on in other cities where anti-war protests are going on her latest tweets she says there's

a lot of talk about possible eviction of protesters at a camp in new york's zuccotti park that could happen as early as friday stay tuned and stay updated on the u.s. protest movement with lucy's twitter feed and that he retreated at which he underscored. for the other stories here on r t nato has been i that it intends to mount preemptive strikes on iranian military facilities and this follows amounting to the series that the us britain and israel might be moving toward a policy of intervention in iran this ahead of a crucial report by the i.a.e.a. due next week that will assess the military side of tehran's controversial nuclear program political analyst chris bambery says any attempt to attack the country could lead to a fierce retaliation and a drawn out bloody conflict. anyone reading the press reports on these contingency plans been joined by the minister of defense here in london for the time. must we worrying that if iran is not developing a nuclear missile. and you could be so faced with the idea that the americans the

british and he's really he's a looking to watch it unfold to attack iran and the world a much more dangerous place i cannot imagine alliance with these three people in the west seem to underestimate the strength of the rainy and nationalism that is a strong national was a member and so what happened for it's of. the shah was when installed and maintained by britain for american people memories of the shah we say to the west of the shah it will be there will be a bloody war if there is an attack iran and iran is not iraq as of two thousand and one will be retaliation from the world is that the more dangerous place because of these reports british media say an attack on iran could come as soon as next november that's the country's resilience despite international sanctions being

stepped up various media say the u.k. the ministry of defense and whitehall the sources you can check it all out that are . british student may be extradited to the us over alleged internet piracy experts say even if he was found guilty by a court at home he'd have most likely faced a fine at most but events could take a worse turn for him in the us thanks to a controversial extradition treaty side during the blair era overbetting has more from london. on the surface they're a picture of karma but 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 web site providing links to pirated videos it wasn't a problem for british or foresees but rich is nevertheless a wanted man you know it's really just all. crying because you know if richard had done anything wrong we were quite happy things to

be responsible in this very well it was a sign case is now being heard at this magistrate's court in london the latest chapter in julie's struggle to keep her son it home they told us that big a million best occasion in the u.k. had been dropped so it was like a bit of a sigh of relief when the next sentence they said with an extradition warrant so many. and then you must go to court immediately i thought he was going to be extradited like that day richard's website t.v. shack has a free stein poster pirated content including the latest hollywood blockbusters and none of it was actually provided by him but that doesn't matter to america it says the site breached the copyright laws and claims he's there is to punish because the websites lucrative advertising was aimed at us concealments this court is where richard was bates 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 lure experts the decisions not a tough one to make it's quite possible that he's only guilty of a civil offense and that offense is something he could potentially get fined for and you know it is clearly a u.k. case as well. because he was doing this in the u.k. it's not 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. doesn't get with a treaty was a must change for the government while in opposition but a recent review it commissions just deemed the treaty still fair several leading

m.p.'s refused to agree though but the commons home affairs committee is calling for changes was a mistake in the first place some history chick 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 of the opposition against the extradition treaty is growing in westminster dissenting m.p.'s have just forced through a debate on it later this month and the parliamentary review on it is june the new year to all this though maybe too late for richard he is just two weeks until he learns with air america will get what it wants i've given it r.t. london. headlines of a couple of minutes stay with us here on our. own. it's cool. to.

the. to those who are fascinated with history. to those who have a sweet tooth. for those who can't live without the sky. and of course to the nature lovers this magnificent land that offers its treasures. mushkin. between earth and the sky.
