just after five pm on friday here in the russian capital this is our city with me rule research showing the latest chapter in the greek debt saga is due to unfold as the government of prime minister george papandreou faces a crucial confidence vote the embattled greek leader alienated many of his supporters over plans for a bailout referendum which he then decided to cancel the outcome of the vote could have a major bearing on the debt stricken euro zone our correspondent in athens is sara . prime minister to a certain je faces leisure pressure. from the broad and from within his own government as well he's in a very very tight spots indeed there's absolutely no guarantee that he'll remain in power will insist on sitting in for eight days to you later on say he's going to be asking will make is to back him and his government back that bailout plan is very uncertain in the mood exactly what the outcome of that is going to be some people

as they can see here think that he'll find a way to manage to survive and cling on to power but a lot of other people calling for is head we've seen it be an incredibly up and down week blink and you'll miss it with some of the decisions that have been going back and forth the on again off again referendum the possibility of him resigning in the not residing but of course no one is missing here because all eyes are firmly on greece as if these huge amounts of concern about what's happening here is a very big this is turbulence at a time when both the u.s. aid and a country faces an absolutely critical point leaving food in the future and the last thing anyone wanted is the kind of uncertainty that was seeing at the moment when that referendum power was announced at the beginning of the week not only was it met from he's criticism. here in the country among some of his government but the people actually met announcement with a lot of cynicism they never expected to be given a voice and never expected to have that decision put in their hands very much the sense here on the states is that this decision is now completely in the hands of

brussels of the usa need is in their proper days really marching to their chief there's a lot of disappointment in the past the government in the prime minister a lot of good to be with member greece is a country right now is the population suffering from economic exhaustion they really are at the end of an incredibly long crisis there to greece really has been a test case for how much austerity a country can take and it was everyone's watching we saw at the moment of course there are concerns about other countries. it's lee is causing a huge amount of discomfort at the event so certainly quite concerned not just about greece but about the eurozone as a whole later on today when that confidence they can see will know more about the plans moving forward whether i thought that they were baden-powell whether a unity government come about that could have instant knock on effect throughout the rest of the year as anybody said he's amount concert but with such a loss of public confidence that people here on the ground are asking even if it

happened jay can survive that confidence day in his government should he be able to step out when he's clearly lost the confidence of this public. reporting from athens right meantime professor of constitutional law georgia couple got lost so it doesn't actually matter how the crisis is resolved as greeks have grown so disillusioned with the entire political system. many so far so good feel a little deceived by these movements. in the so. that's why even if he managed to form a new coalition government i don't think that they are going to do with the basic problem that in our political system because we're going to use. this the last people who were into the whole of the political system not just. for the rights of . his own by the very room here in the near future this will be you are likely to be a string of a limited so we're going to we're not we're going to side with him so we're there

will be this article going to follow the movie will be big enough that if you have seen the closers of america in some because it is the guy who told our breaking news that exactly what is going to be your greatest thing to the referendum in the exam for of december so this is not good any more of our parliament to want to do it this is a political into this this isn't going to do you can. well the political and financial turbulence in greece is also shaping discussion at the g twenty summit in cannes with e.u. leaders voicing strong determination to defend the euro in eastern hour he is attending the summit and brings us more from the southern french resort. the greek tragedy that we saw unraveled this week in all directions completely rocked the g. twenty here in camp the backbone so to say of the euro france and germany putting a lot of pressure on the greek prime minister and also other g twenty members defending what they call the beating heart of europe that of course the euro how to

save it from from just getting out of control with what's happening in greece a communique is expected today as the summit wraps up in france a lot of analysts are saying that we will see the leaders presenting this is they are all on one page in terms of the global economy but it is expected that behind those doors there are some very intense debate about the euro about the g twenty about the emerging economies that they need to have more room for so we heard from president. speaking about his meeting with fellow brics countries and how they're more than ready to help the eurozone to give money they haven't agreed on this some but they're putting the condition out that they want their voices to be more heard they put money into the i.m.f. and they want some more say in what happens to the global economy to try to prevent situations like this many other issues were pushed off the table and we're hearing from analysts about that as well but there were so many issues that were supposed

to be touched on unfortunately this euro crisis kind of took over so a lot of those issues will be moved to the next summit the next time protests taking place throughout this week really a little bit further up the coast in monaco and nice it has to be said protests to happen every time any of the g.'s meet the g. seven the g. eight the g. twenty that is not an exception what's different this time around first of all is their solidarity with the occupy movement and of course you know it's on the around the league and rapidly expanding across the u.s. but also the there they're very very specific point it's not just to go ballistic protests they are angry at the rich and the bankers for deciding. everyone else's fate they're just livid about it yes they have turned to satire to try to get their points across in fact i was speaking of the whole greek situation. the mass angle the mirco of her slogan merkel would have supported that referendum which the think

pm backtracking on if we answer would have been yes if people fed up protest going to continue what experts are saying is that these leaders will not be able to continue to ignore these kind of protests especially in light of what's happening with the global economy. and in our reporting right there where you all with you it's good to have your company today still ahead for you here in the program a brutal crackdown. on there if you can imagine people america's first general strike in fifty years of peaceful. protesters culminating in chaos with almost one hundred arrests and plenty of injuries. and western governments plan to ramp up the pressure on iran over its nuclear program all of this ahead of a report by the u.n. that was all those details coming your way short. nearly ten minutes past the hour here in moscow epic eighteen month journey to mars has just completed its mission although the special never actually left earth but

the simulated flight took place right here in moscow and was an experiment to monitor the psychological effects of long term isolation on the international crew here the impressions of a virtual space man who's now seeing daylight for the first time in over five hundred days. after five hundred. twenty days of this treatment. we have to throw today to to prove that humanity is. good to us we hope that we can help in designing and in the next to the future missions to. and we're ready to get into the next piece of green there. this is an experiment to see basically the psychological effects a trip to mars would have on the crew and how they would work together inside such a facility now those that took part in this are looking to be part of future

martian missions this of the whole operation was an international cooperation cooperative mission the russian space agency working with the european space agency to put this experiment into into practice now the crew itself was made up from people from all around the world three of them were russian there was representatives from china as well as from france and central america who will find out a little bit what it's like on the scene where the mars five hundred module is we can now cross live to tom who is there tom what's going on where you are. well peter i remember on june the third last year watching this door behind me shot seals and that was the start of the five hundred twenty days which ended when i watched them the door open at last after all that time and the crew emerged little bit white faced a little bit bleary eyed into work and to a cheering crowd after all that time they all stood together in front of

microphones and they said how glad they were to work with their other crew members and to have got through what is really quite a feat of engineering really to be in sky summation and with a very strict routine day in day out for all that time to discuss a bit more about this i'm joined by rene pistol he's head of the european space agency's office in russia. we never quite knew what to expect when we started this expect experiments and what do you think. after this very long stretch of time. i think there are a lot of things you have. to first. say today even without having all the data from the experiments because of course. we see that there are no general showstoppers in terms of medical problems personal problems and the truth of six or five hundred twenty days. on top of that we have also learned so much about the

selection process because this was one of the crucial ingredients to have working very volatile and then of course there are a lot of other medical facts and things which we have learned since can apply the first. images really even for the us. of course as you say the selection process and it was primarily a psychological expert so what kind of problems were the up against the fears and how they've been overcome. but of course the biggest fear most of all really problems with. five hundred twenty very innocent days in isolation this is very tough for the task of course but i must say that we can say that the crew. has been working very hard very serious are all over the transom a tragic day each and every day of it and they really prove

a success. of thank you very much i mean i remember saying that some bookmakers and put a two warm on one of the crew going insane as a result of this experiment but hasn't materialized and i think they can now look forward to the deep brief period free of all those tensions well as. compensation for taking part in the mission each participant received one hundred thousand dollars first they've also had plenty of time to try and work out what they're going to spend. when there were serious point of them being in there was the science that comes from it. and the people behind the mars five hundred project have said this yes it has. been a success however in terms of the journey into the far reaches of space they are saying no that it is really not even the first step but the first step towards the first step of mankind flying off and going to hopefully try and set up

some form of settlement on mars. following the adventures for us here on out so you will do remember you can always a visit our web site for the latest. videos but here are some of the. right now find out how forces. from the international criminal court. to libya. on a lot of imprudent breaks the u.s. china now ranks second between barack obama. in forbes list of the world's most powerful people.

now a quarter past the hour here in moscow the californian city of oakland is reeling after one of the biggest protests the occupy wall street movement has seen to date at least eighty demonstrators arrested many injured after their rally culminated in a heavy handed police crackdown it all started peacefully other protesters managing to shut down the city pool with just the country's fifth largest without incident at the same time a general strike america's first in over half a century paralyzed several businesses and. our correspondent lucy company was there when things describes how events. are stepping across from oscar grant's plaza which is the site of the occupy oakland movement work protesters have been camping out for weeks in order to raise their voices against a quality social injustice the same issues that are motivating thousands of occupy wall street movement all across the country but of course images are the things that we remember images are what tell

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 you get the gist. they isolated absent vandalism and violence but we were on the ground in oakland we're going to take you through some of the moments as they unfolded again we're still reporting from the top oakland as you can hear behind me loud explosions possibly tear gas from the police officers there are at least hundreds if not two hundred three hundred police officers in full riot gear several i'm 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 a walk down that street before that was the street of the standoff where 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. there shouldn't amount people there remains to be seen how november second in downtown oakland will

be remembered will it be the charred remains of a few isolated instances of violence by the successful shutdown of the nation's ports reporting from downtown oakland fartsy on this account. and you can watch old video from the night violence in oakland by doing so i would also use you tube channel. is keeping a close eye on the occupy movement in oakland and elsewhere you know twitter feed as you can see here by the way are being reach we underscore she says the movement is gone the support as far as afghanistan to follow to see and try to stay up to date with the movement development i don't our website we're asking if it's possible that police will stop protecting the interests of the so-called ninety nine percent of those the occupy wall street protesters say being repressed by the rich bringing up the numbers for you right here forty percent voting now is to say that it will only happen if policemen lose their jobs twenty six percent said that

the police will side with protesters when the government can't give them what they want for example though not. twenty two percent think the police would never follow orders to fire live rounds on peaceful activists and only twelve percent say occupy protesters are rioters getting the treatment they deserve. critique free storage chargers free arrangements free. three stooges free. old free broadcast videos for your media project free video down to r t dot com.

from steve. santagati dot com. now twenty minutes past the hour here in moscow the u.s. and u.k. officials have been quick to deny that seeking military confrontation with iran statements were released by a spokesman from both sides following media reports of a potential operation aimed at tehran's alleged nuclear weapons facilities however they did say the west has no intention of easing pressure on the islamic republic and would use what's described as a quote wide range of means at their disposal the likes of the u.s. and britain are expected to seize upon the upcoming i.e. a report on iran's nuclear program it will reportedly reveal new intelligence about

the alleged atomic activities but author says these threats are nothing new. for a while. this has been going on for almost for more than four years now these permanent threats against iran on the part of the israel who are calling for a preemptive strike. who said all these two days ago and it all coincides with the débâcle of israel israeli attack on southern lebanon in two thousand and six so i think we have to be very cautious and basically understand that what iran is is the cornerstone of probably what is an ongoing very tough negotiation to move forward towards a world government where russia and china are not going to bow in very easily to the western powers and iran is the cornerstone so i think that what we are seeing is we are probably edging closer to what might become a full fledged war in the region even a world war with iran is the cornerstone if it is attacked by he's really american

and british or a compilation of all three forces. meanwhile british media say that an attack on iran could come as soon as next november that prediction it comes because the country remains resilient to international sanctions various media sites the ministry of defense and the whitehall sources the story in full. color. international news for you this hour an explosion has killed four dozens of. underground in. central china officials say the blast was caused by a small earthquake fifty kilometers away rescuers are right now trying to reach those caught in the mine and have already pulled out some severely injured workers trying to safety record has improved in recent years but still remains the worst in the world. hundreds have taken to the streets of seoul to march against the

ratification of a free trade agreement with the united states protesters say the deal will benefit the american pharmaceutical industry damaging south korean companies the u.s. congress has already given the green light to the agreement on the korean ruling party is pushing for gratification but has yet to agree on a deal with the opposition. evacuations have been ordered for nearly two million people near bangkok as flooding continues to threaten the city officials are keeping a close eye on water levels inching ever closer to a subway stations all stops remain open for now heavy rains and flooding have killed more than four hundred people since nationwide scuse me since july. in his own country but i wanted criminal in another this is the case of richard o'dwyer british student who is facing extradition to the us alleged internet piracy

in the u.k. if he was found guilty he would most likely get off with a fine but in the states he would face a much worse fate. on the surface they're a picture of calm 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 website providing links to pirated videos it wasn't a problem for british or thora sees it rich is nevertheless a wanted man you know it's really just awful. frankly because you know if richard had done anything wrong we were quite happy for him to be responsible about in this country where he was told time their case is now being heard at this magistrate's court in london the latest chapter in julie's 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 but in the next sentence they said we've got an extradition warrant to america. and then he must go to the court immediately i thought he was going to be extradited like that day richard's website t.v. shank was a free star in 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. consumers this course is where richard o'dwyer spates will be decided here 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 the decisions not a tough one to make it's quite possible that he's only guilty of

a civil offense 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 clear he was infringing copyright in united states 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. does not get the treaty was a muscle change for the government while in opposition but a recent review it commissioned just deemed the treaty still fair several leading m.p.'s refused to agree though the commons home affairs committee calling for changes was a mistake in the first place to study 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 of 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 in peace of just force through a debate on it later this month and the parliamentary review on it is jew in the new year all this though maybe too late for richard he is just two weeks until he learns whether america will get what it wants after bennett r.t. london. it is nearly five thirty pm on friday here in the russian capital you without c m a rory back with a recap of our top stories in just a few minutes. from
