global financial headlines. in greece as the country's prime minister backtracked on a plan to hold out bailout referendum that angered european leaders and he faces a crucial confidence vote later on friday. as the greek presidential turmoil dominates the g twenty summit in france protesters gathering nearby resort to new methods of drawing world leaders attentions of people's problems by knocking their meeting. back from mars the longest simulation in space history coming to a close a six volunteers preparing to leave their mock space ship and see daylight for the first time in more than five hundred a day. at a british student could be handed over to u.s. authorities for allegedly internet piracy committed on home soil types to

a controversial extradition treaty between the two countries. one pm 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 done a one eighty on plans to hold a referendum on the e.u. bailout proposal that was under heavy pressure not just from world leaders but also wrote his own government which is now turning up the heat on calls for him to step down or he has more from athens. there is in that stream really tricky situation and there's absolutely no guarantees at this point just what that outcome will be later on this evening he's going to be asking he'll make his like him sit

back and share this court and that confidence day with one hundred fifty seats in parliament of a three hundred seat parliament he could take me majority that very very small one of the number of m.p.'s didn't make it fair that they're not going to give a think in support of a number then saying that that's possibly there's some kind of unity government that's a potential plan that's on the table if they don't pass confidence they say really what will happen is perhaps the most likely the some for 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 kiss from outside the country the from within his own government as well and yesterday in his parliament she addressed everything that that every friend and plan was taken off the table for the speaking to a lot of people here in athens and the feeling really is the two of half inch waist

height is a day that is fine for the prime minister the side to let somebody else take the helm states because i really there's a real sense of frustration and disappointment at the way he's handled this crisis and say a lot of the citizens you're looking at a country and a population that is suffering from economic exhaustion and we've seen people coming out. to show that public kind of protests in the streets still people saying that really they feel that that being nude in this equation the forces of the. situation is the one. offering the possibility of. being. and against the political class as a whole it's better to. have a discussion and some sort of see if the pope is being offered. to do that or if it ended now of course but they going ahead later on this evening one thing. the week

that the real question here is that such an oath how could complicate in the prime minister mean not doesn't it really even if it was. the bite that confidence they really a lot of people asking whether it's gerald celente director of the trends research center said that you leaders are just using greece as a scapegoat for their own bigger mistakes the whole european union and is in great danger listen to the words of silvio berlusconi that he said on saturday that will 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 with a watch worse g.d.p. to debt ratio and then you have 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. and to that degree turmoil has taken over in g twenty summit in cannes observers have only been able to guess just what it was nicolas sarkozy said to george pop and rave about his backtrack on the referendum plans parties and he's an hour away has more. the final day of the g twenty here in cannes will have three working sessions and will and with the press conference given by host nicolas sarkozy the great 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 it won't be part decided by the people making european leaders here is specially the backbone

of the euro zone of france and germany very satisfied with the way things are going . to do the leader of the opposition made a statement indicating that he supported the twenty seventh of october fly and that is a very important and courageous as superman 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 supported 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 play by our rules or you get out increase 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 john and that

is going to be what 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 the economy's worried about their 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 made jaded 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 q why didn't the spectrum's have not just these decisions on the global economy be made by the seven most richest country just 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 meetings angry at the rich for dictating the fate of others they turned to mockery to get their message across.

and move. for the problems of the week. dressed in caricature masks of u.s. german and french leaders protesters organized an alternative news conference the fake island along merkel added that she would support a referendum in greece but only if you answer was yes even smaller protest marches across the french riviera. stay with us here on r.t. coming up later in the program we report from the front line of one of the biggest occupy wall street protests. they were pretty black panthers people tear gas rubber bullets several injured dozens arrested our correspondent witnessed it all unfold in the city of oakland plus. as nato denies reports of a planned missile strike on iran we report on where such threats of military intervention could lead. but first less than an hour to go before the curvy international mission to mars finally returns to earth in moscow bringing one

of the world's most grueling scientific experiments to a close six volunteer virtual cosmonauts will see daylight for the first time in five hundred twenty days that's a long they've spent isolated in their spaceship knock up simulating a return trip to the red planet for other details be derived artie's peter all over who is suppressed it away himself and our if you studio do you how you do it and they're. all right well certainly a big day for the participants on the project but what is the significance for the future of space exploration and our place well five hundred and twenty days and it's time for the crew of the mars five hundred project to finally come back into the real world now this is a busy atmosphere on the mars five hundred sites out the moment you see live pictures there of a press conference that's going on from the the organizers who are quite bina how they've been happy they say with the the findings that the gains from they say experiment five hundred twenty days and all for a long time they have been looking very closely at the psychological effects this

has had on the crew now that crew of six people three come from russia one from china one from europe and one from central america now they've been all forced to live together simulating this mission to mars based the simulated journey to the red promised and what you can see just on the screen there what they were simulating was landing on the surface computing experiments eventually bringing back soil samples getting into the spacecraft and flew. i hold now their journey is coming to an end and we can cross live now to the place where in just a few moments out of that hatch just behind him these six true members will return you can see tom bartlett on what's happening there now. hi there peter well i remember watching on june the third last year this door shut and it was sealed shut with wax and locking in the six crew that have been there since for five hundred twenty days it has stayed shut it's not been opened none of the crew have left the

experiment and very shortly it's due to be opened again releasing them back into the outside world it's primarily been a psychological experiment as you can imagine they weren't able here in moscow to imitate zero gravity and the like of a real space mission but it's been key in trying to understand some of the psychological pressures of being in isolation in a routine in a mock up space craft for so long the fears were of things like social narrowing that's the name that's been given to some of the effects of spending a long period in isolation observers on antarctic bases have seen people where withdraw from social interaction they've started eating their meals alone and wearing a glazed expression is sort of we've withdrawn from all their colleagues there that was one of the fears it could have got worse there was there has been some reports from cosmonauts and astronauts in space of what's been dubbed space mountainous

which is extreme stress brought on by prolonged contemplation of the fact that you are essentially in a in a metal box floating in space and it's also been reported that this crew really did come to believe very strongly that they were indeed in a space ship and obviously there's the daily tensions of day to day life having to go through a lot of experiments and tasks and living together for so long in two thousand and ten a sure into the year two thousand but you pardon a shorter version of this experiment went badly wrong on two crewmembers started fighting and another tried to force a canadian crew member to kiss him that went badly wrong but this experiment has not experienced such problems as we can see now. i five hundred twenty days away from earth a load in the cold depths of space on a mission to the red planet back. well not quite.

these men have been sealed in a mock spacecraft for seventeen months but they never left and could have quit the mars five hundred isolation experiment at any time. i was afraid of conflicts that could lead to an early termination of the experiment we tried to consider all potential risks and to nicole tensions in a bird. the scientists behind it wanted to see if the six man crew would be able to go all the time without severe psychological effects on the busy control room i was able to ask one of them for myself how have your relationships with the other crew members changed. or something like that how. close.

the experiment was kept as real as possible with a twenty minute time delay in communications owns the much it was on its way that meant he was alone they could talk freely with loved ones but researchers decided to withhold news from the outside world but that was tricky when 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 martian land for. the russians but i think their pulse rate was one hundred sixty beats per minute. now compare with the pulse of the first yuri gagarin one orbit it was

a. minute the outside world was intrigued. people betting on when the experiment would fail one bookmaker put eight. c. because of it. so even though it's a dry run it's still a significant achievement for first motion pioneers. so having gone through all of those challenges there is still a small worry that the crew mates struggle to readjust to the outside world after so long in isolation but of course there is the one hundred thousand dollars to look forward to that each crew member's been paid essentially for giving up

a year and a half of their lives i don't know peter do you think you could do it but that kind of money i certainly would be in there for a lot less money than they had a long time of course as well to work out what we're going to spend that money on together in that metal box well the scientists and the organizers of the mars five hundred project have been claiming the project has been a success the psychological tests that have been conducted says shown that nobody had any adverse reactions to the solitude and the monotony of the tasks that they were taking part in also the crew dynamic itself worked very well together we heard from tom no outbreaks of fighting amongst the crew everybody getting on with each other and able to get on with their jobs however the organizers of the experiments have been realistic is when it comes to the next step to see when we can put a ship manned mission to. in super play now they're saying that they are happy with

the success of mars five hundred this isn't even the first step it is a first step towards the first step so it could be a little while yet before we see the real thing taking place all it takes is one small step or a theatre in the absolutely all right thanks we got out of the story for us peter all over and tom barton reporting in moscow will be following this unique experiment as it unfolds throughout the day less than an hour to go here so stick with us here on r.t. . five hundred days on a voyage to the. a breakthrough in space travel. richard from the red planet. mars five hundred touched down on our t.v. . you know some other news we're covering on our t.v. the city of oakland california reeling after one of the biggest protests the occupy wall street movement has yet seen about eighty demonstrators were arrested some

enjoyed by the ministry of defense here in london for the time. mostly mori is known to do no good and you could miss it will. be 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 a much more dangerous place i cannot imagine how. these three people in the west seem to underestimate the strength of the rainy and nationalism that is a strong national member and so what happened under foreign intervention into the country. was with that installed and trained by britain from america and. memories of the shah the way it's presented you know the way that the shah was a little regime there will be a bloody war if there is a attack iran if iran is not iraq as of two thousand and one will be retaliation for his goal and from hamas on the world it would be more dangerous place because of these reports. british media says an attack on iran could come as soon as next

a wanted man you know it's really just all. crying because you know if richard had done anything wrong we were quite happy for him to be responsible but in this country where it was the full time the case is now being heard at this magistrate's court in london the latest chapter in chile is struggle to keep her son at home they told us that the criminal investigation in the u.k. had been dropped so it was like a bit of a sigh of relief been the next sentence they said we've got an extradition warrant so many. and then you must go to court immediately i thought it was going to be expedited like that day richard's website t.v. shack was a free stand post 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 their copyright laws and claims he's theirs to punish because the

websites lucrative advertising was aimed at u.s. concealments this course is where richard was fate 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 that the citizens not a tough one to make it's quite possible that he's only feel guilty of a civil offense offenses you know 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 catering to be extradited to the united states is not clearly was infringing copyright in united states told britain signed the extradition treaty with america in two thousand and three nearly a decade on controversy still surrounds it the u.s. can extradite whoever it wants without proof or hearing privileges the u.k.
