minute richness of the heart of the greek government disdain replaces disbelief overbid p.m.'s bailout referendum starts all with just hours to go into the vote of confidence in parliament. the turmoil in greece dominates the g twenty summit which is just wrapped up in cannes global leaders have agreed to boost the power of the i.m.f. as they try to stop that contagion from spreading. the multimission touches down a simulated flight to mars is completed by a six man crew spending over five hundred days in isolation as part of an ambitious space experiment. on the road to extradition campaigners cry foul as

a computer whiz kid is told you committed no major crime in the u.k. but could still face trial in the u.s. . international news in coming live from moscow with you twenty four hours a day the latest chapter in the greek debt saga is due to unfold as the government of prime minister george papandreou faces a crucial confidence folks the embattled great leader alienated many of his supporters over plans for a bailout referendum which he later counseled the outcome of the vote could have a major bearing on the debt stricken euro zone our correspondent in athens sarah firth has more. prime minister to start the day faces leisure fresh face from the broad and from within his own government as well he's in a very very tight spot in the there's absolutely no guarantee that here remain in

power will insist on sitting in the faith based three later on say he's going to be asking will make his packing and his government's. plan is very uncertain the 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 put a lot of other people calling for is heads we seem to be at incredibly up and down we 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 because no one is missing here because all eyes the family of greece is the shipments of concern about what's happening here is a very big this is trivial it's at a time when thirty years old and the country faces an absolutely critical point leaving food in the speech and the last thing and you all want it is the kind of uncertainty that we're seeing at the moment when that referendum power was announced at the beginning of the week not only was it not from g.'s criticism. and

here in the country about some of his government but the people are. announcing with a lot of cynicism they never expected to be given a voice and never expected to have that decision for them that has very much this and only state is that this decision is now completely in the hands of brussels of the usa leaders in that propagate really marching to that she there's a lot of disappointment in the past the government in the prime minister a lot of the women but police is a country right now is the population suffering from economic exhaustion they really are at the end of an incredibly long crisis the stairs he greets really has been a test case the how much force there is he a country can take after those everyone's watching greece and maybe of course there are concerns about other countries. here it is lee is causing a huge amount it is confident they may say certainly why is concerned not just a bit about the usa is a whole later on today with that confidence they casey will know more about the

plans needing food where they were painted how whether a unity government come about that could have instant knock on effect throughout the rest of the year is any he said he's a man concert but with such a loss of public confidence people here on the ground are asking even if it happened they can survive that confidence day in his government should he be able to stay in power he's clearly lost the confidence of the public. and the political and financial turbulence in greece's shape discussion at the g twenty summit which is just wrapped up in cannes using his voice strong determination to defend the euro and agreed on bolstering the international monetary fund's resources he's a missionary has the details. the g twenty has ramped up here in cannes where of course the focus was the greek tragedy that develops very quickly throughout the week nicolas sarkozy wrapping up the summit by saying that he and other euro the leaders are ready to defend the euro to the end we had a lot of pressure from france and germany in terms of summoning the greek prime

minister when he called the referendum of course that has been cancelled but the main themes that we're hearing here is that greece needs to follow the rules of the e.u. doesn't choose governments but the governments that the people choose need to play their game or they need to get out to discuss that further we can now cross live to washington d.c. where i'm joined by financial blogger question is thank you for being with us how much pressure do you think was put on the greek pm by angela merkel and nicolas sarkozy on that those talks the emergency talks they held on the very eve of this summit in which he laughed and then of course that referendum was cancelled. right well there were certainly dissatisfied about it i think that the prime minister has received pressure pretty much from all sides he received pressure from merkel from sarkozy from the leaders in europe but also from members of his own party as well as a coalition of course he was reprimanded across the board so i think. the referendum

that he proposed was quickly shot down by everyone and also sarkozy mentioned several times over the past three days at the g twenty here that greece needs to play by the rules he said it almost every press conference he gave he gave a lot of them also saying that greece is an independent country that he doesn't want to get involved in the internal affairs of of the sovereign state but isn't that exactly what we're seeing happening here with all the the the monitoring and all the conditions that are being put out for greece. right greece is no longer an independent country and has been for a while and if you listen to the speeches given by all the different leaders of the political parties in parliament last night and the preceding days and months you'll see that the conversation is always on what we need to do to satisfy our creditors demands and our creditors are the people who are going to determine whether we survive or don't survive so they're not they don't hide the fact that they're not they're not in control of their own destiny and that they depend on the eurozone

and these bailout packages to continue to fund the government and even more importantly the support of the european system of central banks in the e.c.b. to continue to provide liquidity to the greek banking system which has been bleeding deposits for months and months and so that's the real the biggest concern of all the fact that the banking system is no longer sustainable because it holds so much greek sovereign debt and if a default were to occur the banking system in greece would suffer as well and right now it depends on the e.c.b. and the on the eurozone to survive just briefly how do you think and what do you think would have happened if that referendum actually went to a vote what would the greek people have said. i think the person who expressed best what the greek people potentially would have said was the opposition leader some of us in parliament when he said that when you pose a referendum to the greek people under such conditions of the arrests. and indignity what you're going to get is an answer not to the question but to the person was posing the question in other words the people would say no to whatever

the question was because they would be voting in response to what they see seems to be a vacuum of leadership and democracy in the country so i think that if there were to be a vote that vote would have been an exit from the eurozone and that's what scared the politicians in greece so much and why you saw such such a backlash against when he came out with the proposition not just from the opposition leaders but from members of his own party including his own deputy who came back from cannes the next day to me. immediately issued a statement saying that the referendum on e.u. membership was a no go right financial blogger dramatically coffee in astronomy live from washington d.c. thanks for your thoughts on the g. twenty is wrapping up here in cannes no breakthrough i think it's fair to say one of the steps that has been taken is that it seems the brics countries the emerging economies are having more of their say they are pledging some money to the eurozone crisis not clear exactly what the sum is but

a hit we're getting that really they are making some headway the g twenty summit for the first time ever in twenty thirteen will be held in a brick mason in brussels moscow in trying to thirteen so some progress on that front. and he said that this is r.t. life here in moscow still ahead a brutal crackdown in oakland. on there if you can imagine people. there because first general strike in fifty years and a peaceful march of your party oakland protests to culminate in chaos with almost a hundred arrests and several injuries. and with the government's plan to ramp up the pressure on iran over its nuclear program and a report by a u.n. watchdog for the details for you just ahead. an epic seventeen month journey samoans has just completed its mission even though the spacecraft never really left a simulated flight took place in moscow and it was an experiment to most of the

psychological effects of long term isolation on the six international crew here of the impressions of a virtual space man who's seeing daylight now for the first time in over five hundred days. after five hundred. twenty days of motion this trooper. we have brought there to to prove that humanity can go to mass we hope that we can help in designing in planning the next the future missions to us. and we're ready to get into the next space ship going there . this is experiment to see basically the psychological effect a trip to mars would have done 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 are the whole operation was a world in 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 barton 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 little bit bleary eyed into a into 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 the jurors 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 washington. we never quite knew what to expect when we started this extra extra watching you think how from up to this very long stretch of time. i think there are a lot of things. first. we've. confirmed it. is of course. so you see that there are no general showstoppers terms of for medical problems problems and a proof of six or five an attorney days. to go there to hear from was also learned so much more to selection process because this was one of the crucial ingredients transfer of all together and then of course there are

a lot of other medical facts things which we have learned solution can apply to the first. immediately even for the. course as you say the the selection process came and it was primarily a psychological extras riggers so what kind of problems were they are against what are the fears and how are they being overcome. but of course the biggest fear was that there will be problems in. five hundred twenty innocent days and isolation is very tough for the transfer of course. the conceit of the group. has been working very hard very serious are all over this from notre dame each and every day of it and they really prove made interest and success. of thank you very much renee i mean i remember saying that some bookmakers of course they too warm on one of the

crew going insane as a result of this experiment that 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 receives one hundred thousand dollars but they've also had plenty of time to try and work out what they're going to spend that there were serious point of them being in there was the science that comes from it. and the people behind the last five hundred projects have said this yes it has. being 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 you going to hopefully try and set up some form of specimens on mars. peter on the ground someone following the

and several injured after their rally culminated in a heavy handed police crackdown it started out peacefully the protesters managing to shut down the city which is 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 in downtown oakland and a correspondent you see up north was there when things got vonage and describes how events unfold. we're standing across from oscar grant's plaza which is the site of the alibi open to the french work protesters out there camping out for weeks in order to raise their voices against the equality social injustice the same issues that are motivated. thousands of art by wall street movement all across the country but of course images are the things that we remember images are what's our story and this morning and downtown oakland these are the images they are going to be seeing across all of the screens on the main stream media the destruction the isolated acts of vandalism and violence that 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 so both entrance as you can hear behind me loud explosions possibly tear gas from the police officers there are at least one hundred two hundred three hundred police officers in full riot gear several me 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 several pieces of furniture and whatnot were lit on fire pretty good and not enough of an action to provoke this kind of a militant response by the police force here they were shooting. their freedom at people are amazed to be seen how november second and downtown oakland will be remembered will 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 the scaffold. and you can watch

all the video from the night of violence in oakland on our t.v. you tube channel and you see coming obvious keeping an eye on the occupy movement in oakland and elsewhere in her twitter feed retreat of t underscore can't she says the movement is garnering support from as far as afghanistan. lucy and r.t. on twitter to stay up to date with the movement's developments and on our website we're asking if it's possible that police will start protecting the interests of the so-called ninety nine percent who is the occupy wall street protesters say are being repressed by the rich let's have a look on screen and see what the results are looking like this stage of the day but we can see that. forty one percent of those who voted say it will only happen if policeman lose their jobs particular scent think the police would never follow orders to fire live rounds on peaceful activists twelve percent we can see that occupy protesters a riot is getting the treatment they deserve and twenty five percent suggest the police will side with this is when they can't get what they want from the

government any longer log on to dot com let us know what you think. u.s. and u.k. officials have been quick to deny they are seeking military confrontation with iran statements were released by spokesman from both sides following reports of a potential armed operation aimed at iran'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 wide range of means at their disposal the night said the u.s. and britain are expected to seize upon the upcoming a report on iran's nuclear. program the reveal new intelligence about the alleged atomic activities but. she says these threats are nothing new for iran. this is been going on for almost more than four years now these threats against iran on the part of israel who are calling for a preemptive strike. on yahoo. only two days ago and it all coincides with the

battle of israel is really 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 the world governments where the russia and china are not going to bow in very easily to the western powers and iran is the cornerstone so i think the world 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 israeli american british or accomplish all three forces. british media center attack on iran could come as soon as next november that prediction comes because the country remains resilient to international sanctions there has been ministry of defense and michael

because you know if richard have done anything wrong we were quite happy for him to be responsible about it very well it was. their case is now being heard at this magistrate's court in london the latest chapter in julie's struggle to keep her sanity 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 when the next sentence they said we've got an exhibition more autonomy. 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. shack was a free stein 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 there is to punish because the websites lucrative advertising was aimed at us can see humans this course is where richard was freights will be decided it rides 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 are 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. doing this in the u.k. so really any case for him to be extradited to the united states is not clear he 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. doesn't get with a treaty was a must 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 such a trick 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 all citizens and that is not the case of the opposition against the extradition treaty is growing in westminster dissenting in peace have just forced through a debate on it later this month and the parliamentary review on it is in the new year all this though it may be too late for richard he is just two weeks until he learns with air america will get what it wants i've given it party under. time now to update you on more stories making headlines around the world at this stage of the day in. understanding activists say the israeli defense forces seized chill gaza by boat attempting to break israel's naval blockade of the region
