9:03 am
a leader of the center left party doesn't want quick elections because he's deeply implicated in these policies and wants a national government a government of national unity so that the responsibility for the austerity package is shared with if you learn you say there is one missing actresses and that is. the people of greece who have been demonstrating for the last six months from the street and really icing no solution that doesn't at least meet some of their demands for the your stereotype recession more austerity measures vicious cycle being removed somehow being dented and political leaders actually addressing the social needs of the mass of people in this country and indeed of european people there really is a very valid point what a lot of people are talking about here today is that is the missing ingredient the public opinion here very very disappointed at the end else that yesterday at the

what we seen playing out in the last week were really as he said that message of uncertainty at a time when everyone was hoping for was a unified front for some decisive action and that's not what we're saying it's all in of course moving for the situation looking on increasingly unstable ground. and coming up later in the program fighting the corporate evil for a communist a little more than the gap between rich and poor making some resort to drastic measures. now there are widespread concerns that u.s. police are becoming increasingly heavy handed in breaking up the corporate occupy protests that have gripped the country for nearly two months now officers use force to disperse a demo in the u.s. capitol and take down tents three activists were struck by a car but the driver wasn't charged and the californian city of oakland police unleashed tear gas and batons of protesters and arrested more than one hundred several people were seriously injured including a u.s.

police officers some at least that have encouraged criminals and homeless people to come down to zuccotti park in an effort to stir up some trouble the n.y.p.d. has denied those accusations we did speak with a few of the hundred. of activists that are down here and here's what they had to say my experience has been that i've been safe here and i feel safe here well i think that you know the mayor is discussing things quick crimes that aren't haven't been reported what are those crimes that you think the mayor is probably gearing up to make another attempt to turn the lights around the park simply because someone walks into the park doesn't mean that they're part of the movement a lot of these out with that even critical of us characterize anyone who is within you know a mile radius of this place as a protester and therefore reflective of our movement but as you can see anyone can come in here and that's fine you know we want to welcome people in but certainly because someone destructive doesn't mean they reflect what we're doing or that we promote what they're doing princeton professor and activist dr cornel west who has

a tea party of its own following the december vote by winning at least two hundred four seats exceeding the r t. israeli navy has boarded and blocked two boats carrying medical supplies to gaza the latest will tell over twenty seven international activists on board had set sail from turkey on wednesday for more on this let's talk to the chairman of the popular committee against the seizure dari who is live in gaza for us mr alcott ari the blockade has been tightened since two thousand and six and we know there have been a number of attempts to send in aid flotilla as the israeli government had activists concerned in aid over land why aren't activists using these are alternative means freely offered by israel. first of all. to watch people suffering from the siege is.
9:14 am
the wrong from from gaza. there is. no reason for it is that you have to believe in. people coming. through this see the activists notice that the palestinian people is suffering from this siege this. geneva convention against international laws. the people innocent people civilian people because this. activist people being too much time to see. messages to palestinian people. support them. when this is. wrong from gaza. by the gaza how it got under on the from gaza this is it is only the main reason for the activist people.
9:15 am
through the sea yet mr dari what about the message that israel is trying to send i mean this is not the first time they've blocked the flotilla as before what are they trying to send out the message you're trying to save by doing so the message from the activist people too is that it's wealthy and amanda seeing israel's government the message of these routes by by blocking the flotilla what is israel trying to say. yes they're. not. active people. because when you reach to go and see all the. bad situation in gaza and hear them back to their homes to the country is this about was the feel and this will do more and more people support. this.
9:16 am
situation in new york. at the national gunter is for supporting it but as you have people know exactly about the about the sea about. israel not need the support for the part of the people through the see through a lot of support that area speaking about support for the palestinian people in the u.s. cultural i mean asco this week they admitted palestine as a member of this of course as a positive signal supporters of palestine but it has angered israel and the u.s. has this move actually achieved anything for the palestinian people this acceptance to unesco. i think this is important. to be part of the country full member in the units go and give the policy people the hook in future to reach to.
9:17 am
ending the occupation. this is important. also this message to israel how many countries support. the. sport. for. you to be. a member of the interest is important also ok we're running a bit of out of time but i do want to ask you very briefly what do you personally see as the best way forward for israel and palestine to finally solve all of this. i think peace is the main issue. in the handover is that i must admit on the whole most from jerusalem. must be also independent but a few did live. in peace this is a solution without their rights what are the policy therefore. do not be.

the world's seven billionth citizen is sent a tug of war inches from south africa as a rather juicy were awarded will get a taste of that story at r.t.e. dot com. a russia simulated round trip to mars has successfully concluded after an eighteen month long test to see how the crew my cope with a long space flight with a massive experiment was carried out without ever leaving moscow peter all over and tom burton watched the mission and met the volunteers who spent over five hundred days in isolation. after five hundred. twenty days of this trip and. we are proud today to to prove that humanity can go to mass this is experiment to see basically the psychological effects
9:24 am
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 whole operation was an international 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 find out a little bit what it's like on the scene where the mars five hundred module is we can now cross 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 sealed and that was the start of the five hundred twenty days which ended when i watched them the
9:25 am
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 an juror really to be in isolation and with a very strict routine day in day out for all that time i remember seeing that some bookmakers have put a two warm on that 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 now as the occupy protest movements grip the u.s. for a second month opinions are divided over some of its aims one of them is a tax hike for rich americans who demonstrators are blaming for the economic downturn laurie harford has been on the streets of new york to ask whether people
9:26 am
there agree. the general public has been vilifying the very rich lately so what does the public consider too much money this week let's talk about that more than a million too much money yeah if someone has more than a million should they pay more in taxes yes they absolutely said yes well i want too much money so i'm not going to answer. those ten million too much too much for too much when one of them women when millions enough to how i would say if people make more than a million dollars and they have better in their bank account should they be forced to give back a more of their a moral and outs in general interestingly i saw once that the to answer the question do you have enough money to curve goes like this as your wealth increases so people who don't have a lot feel that they don't have enough as they as people get wealthier
9:27 am
a higher percentage of the think they have enough until it passed certain point words as you get even wealthier you want even more so if you made ten million dollars would you i would give some of it away it's too much money are people that don't give it away and have that much in the wrong i guess it's a personal decision i just think that if you make that much money you could share it with someone that doesn't have so much should they be forced to through taxes like they do in scandinavia maybe so because sometimes if you know for someone to do something and are going to do it no matter how much wealth you consider to be obscene the bottom line is when it comes to money it's hard for anyone to not want just a little bit more. along the way max keiser asks how asks how it's possible just to lose over half a billion dollars but before that a recap of our top stories in a few moments. the
