showing that mankind can endure the isolation of a long flight through the red line. just after three pm here in the russian capital this is r.t. now greece has a jordan other roller coaster week with the prime minister having to pledge a new unity government to tackle the almost insurmountable debt crisis george papandreou narrowly survived a confidence vote and will now meet his main political opponent for talks but the opposition leader is refusing to get involved in a coalition and wants a snap election archie saar furth reports now from apple. greta's found itself back in the spotlight this week and once again for all the wrong reasons now we began the week with prime minister george pop enjoy calling for a referendum only. plans we saw him do to mask the eternal nose referendum plans of

it was met with resistance but it's not really an from within members of his government social competence go ahead on friday in parliament. and his government not having to narrowly divide that one hundred fifty three m.p.'s i mentioned forty five and the future still looks extremely clear the prime minister and the government just talks now to the formation of a national unity government but there's a lot of confusion in this coalition plan not least like a big head of the main opposition party here in the country has rejected calls for a coalition and both again called the early elections they're playing more of one or. trying to see who's going to blink first so just to see whether or not a government of national unity will be we still the five minutes meeting with the president of the republic to discuss the formation of that national unity

government whether that will be able to go ahead without the support of the main opposition party from. possibly top heading to someone else in the prime minister's role moving forward as he said still a lot of uncertainty there's a sense of disappointment among this instability coming at the point. to make way for the future years and the last thing any one thing is right now with even more instability it seems that's exactly what they thought it felt like change was in the at the end of the week it seems that much actually still remains but for how long and what form that government will survive remains. well greece's president has called on political parties to work together to resolve the country's financial troubles but require george got to forming a coalition is a ploy to deceive voters. myself i could feel

a little deceived by these movements of mr and that's why even if it's the former yugoslav government i don't think that they are going to do that only the basic problem that now our political system goes and these are the those are dinner and this last call for people who want to the whole of the political system not exactly what's wonderful for the world it's a national cause she's on but believes in very broadly in the near future that other guy this will be you like think that you explain how that i believe you can achieve anything i think you're here breaking news that knows that that is not it was a political grove and. thinking for work out of this lack of legitimacy of its own government of his own government so you blow they're going to have way to make a kind of extortion who are going to be political. in a way to make them accept. his government because it was a horse of movement of. keeping greece afloat was at the forefront of the minds of

readers of the world's twenty biggest economies as they met in france e.u. leaders dug into the fans at the single currency and agreed to shore up the international monetary fund parties and the somali follow the summit the ever changing greek drama took center stage in cannes for the g twenty meeting here on host nicolas sarkozy protecting what he calls the beating heart of europe till the end suppositions a resolution which is very strong angela merkel and i agree on this and we will fight to defend europe and the euro. france and germany took action with this message to greece play by the rules or get out the greek prime minister made a cameo appearance in cam returned to athens and canceled an improper referendum that would have more last public to decide if they stay or if they go when it comes to the euro or perish the thought that they should actually be allowed to decide

whether they want these things your leaders say it is up to greets to should look at it like this if greece is an independent country and i just want to say they are perfectly free they don't want to get any idea that we are trying to increase domestic politics. but france has given some exactly that idea there is no longer an independent country and has been for a while 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 and the so-called backbone of the eurozone could be trying to save its backside with a statement from sarkozy that those who break deficit rules should be punished some with sanctions even if he is breaking the same rules back home in france they're running a budget deficit beyond. what the rules of mass search provide for the real irony with that is that the the french banks are are so desperate for some sort of

a bailout and if they didn't get one for greece for example they could potentially go under and could be playing a major role in the fight to save the euro some hope for the single currency lines with the emerging economies or the brics already pledged to try and help the euro stay afloat but with a condition president medvedev says they want to play a bigger role in financial institutions like the i am math and the group of twenty format already it seems some headway there as for the first time ever the g twenty summit will be held in a brics country and it takes place in moscow russia in two thousand and thirteen reporting from. and it's an hour. of the week saw the california city of oakland witnessing one of the biggest protests of the occupy wall street movement it came up against a tough police response with tear gas and rubber bullets part of demonstrators at least one hundred people were arrested and several injured including a war veteran of the such incident in less than two weeks. when i was among the

protests. we're still reporting from the job as you can hear behind me loud explosions possibly tear gas from the police officers there are at least hundreds of the got two hundred three hundred police officers in full riot gear several in 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 but again not enough of an action to provoke this kind of a militant response by the police force here we have to remember that earlier thousands marched peacefully on the port of oakland shutting it down no arrests reported whatsoever in fact we didn't even see any of the police officers out there and yet half of the peaceful march again or this was a scene unfolding on the streets of oakland no other media outlets no other

television outlets here on the front lines we have been standing here we have seen tear gas fired several protesters injured from the tear gas in fact you can smell it in the air right now i wish i could describe it better but a very intimidating show of force when you have this line of police slowly marching forward with protesters in front of them the mood is an extremely tense we don't know how this will develop but people are sort of running out from the side streets that perhaps there's more confrontations down that way whether or not they're going to clear the camp remains to be seen but as you can see these cars there's are marching behind us take some hands baton hand i don't know if you can get any closer on that shots but they're certainly coming here to the crowd as you can hear is chanting oakland perhaps you can see over there several police officers with their weapons out of a shooting tear gas fergie's loud sort of done a grenade they don't actually hurt anything but definitely care scared that the protesters and journalists on site. those are key zalewski capital the one. which

was the epicenter of the us this week but other u.s. cities saw some as well in atlanta police arrested twenty demonstrators and barricaded a park were tents had been set up eyewitnesses say police officers acted violently towards protesters several arrests were also made in washington where it's claimed that to the so the ground before handcuffing them about twenty people were also detained in new york but despite the pressure of the occupy movement here is to be achieving. i think the success of the movement is the simplicity of the message they've got to down to four words we are the ninety nine percent. and that message is simple as it is it really cuts to the heart of what a lot of people are experiencing which is a tremendous inequality that's been growing for years people are now economists are looking at this and saying this is thirty years in the making there celso seeing

a system that is out of balance with respect to too much corporate influence over politicians and over congress as we wrote this is a democratic capitalism and right now the occupy people are saying there's too much capitalism and not enough democracy so they've come together to say to grow them this is what democracy looks like. and we see both democrats and republicans talking about inequality in a way that they have not for the thirty years that it's been growing so they already have the occupy movement is having a real influence on the conversation that's going on. as i have for you this hour the whistleblower will have heard. i have not been charged with any crime in any country london's high court rules of the wiki leaks founder julian assange could be sent to sweden to answer a controversial sucks crowd allegations. and palestine has got

a step nearer the you were no winning membership of the heritage organization you must go but a price is too high for sun he explained why. first in syria a peace deal to end months of bloodshed made little difference to security forces renew their attacks on anti regime activists in the city of homs activists claim more than twenty people died as the tanks rolled in but some experts fear nothing could be taken for granted and this conflict he said human rights groups or are you being used as a way of funneling stories in the media there is no way to attribute them there is no way you verify them there's no way to know whether or not these events are really happening at all and i believe just example in fact it's just breaking news is that apparently they're afraid to say that. the ceasefire has already been broken by syrian syrian troops firing on citizens we see probably a similar thing clean out here as we as we did in libya which was to really take

over the years the resources of the country but more than that i think with syria what we're looking at is a strategic a strategic area which is a perfect place for launching a further result and you are right and i think if if. this is a real and seriously stepping stone towards that which is what i think we have to keep our eye on in all of this also in a syria the united nations nuclear watchdog claims it's discovered a secret facility in the north west that matches the design of a uranium enrichment plant but others insist it's nothing more than attack south factory on the reporter patrick hayes is closely following this story says the allegations only serve to demonize syria. yes this is a way of heaping more pressure on syria during a time when the uprising to taken place i think it really brings about the worst of both worlds in many way it brings about kind of western intervention but in a very insidious kind of i would say dishonest clash and they're basically doing what they did in iraq which is to use the guise of weapons inspections to basically

poke their nose into all areas of countries to seem to be a bit suspicious a bit naughty they're poking their noses into what i would say political appear to be political risks rather than for any reasons of security concerns at this current time and i think it's very telling that they're choosing to do this at a time when the uprisings are taking place what they're trying to do is to kind of effectively use other things as kind of modes of to throw at the situation to try and actively build up a narrative which they can use should they necessarily want so into being in the future so it's certainly syria is being recast in this situation as one of the one of the countries that needs to watch you know one of the countries that form for example a new sort of people something along those lines so i think it is being used for strategic reasons the only thing that will really where is that actually if it's if the syrian people are left alone without any western intervention without their you

know kind of their lackeys or kind of bodies like the international atomic energy agency poking their noses in and it's left to the syrian people basically decide what they want to do and determine their own future. a new york jury this week convicted russian businessman of victor boot on four counts of selling arms to terrorists and conspiring to kill americans and conviction could result in a write sentence where this defense preparing to appeal would was arrested in thailand in two thousand and eight in a sting operation half a request of u.s. officials and then that's provided to the north and back to spark a strong opposition from moscow american officials say he was one of the world's most active black market arms traders responsible for escalating several regional conflicts goodman who's published several books about the case believes the trial is purely political. the problem is that too many americans have heard so many bad things about him but the evidence against him

obvious he was just sold on supposedly selling these arms to the start can. start is only. considered a terrorist organization and american in many other countries around the world sort of valid to a political party i think the whole case is a smacks of a political agenda when he was that taken from thailand and specially since that high authorities could find that's of the charge with the americans we americans came in and grabbed him anyways and i think he's a taking over a lot of the business of the cia and other shadow organisations were working for themselves and africa was very big business supplying arms to africa and once things start to go downhill there are american businessmen who were supplying arms got out of the country and loot was one of the only people brave enough to you know be in there i think were trying to punish him for that sort of thing. and still ahead for you this hour the great getaway for muslims marking eat. we celebrate

this key islamic verse to tell you what this means to russia's muslims in just a few moments. i want to when say we can expand or julian assange lost his court appeal battle to stay in the u.k. he's been under house arrest for nearly a year waiting for the verdict a sign she will now be extradited to sweden to answer sex crimes allegations over which she's never been charged it will be decided later this month if he can appeal denies the claims with his lawyer suggesting this weekend's maneuvering to hand him over to the u.s. is due to secret pentagon files which we can weeks publish the site itself is in limbo suspended because it's struggling to raise funding online after a financial blockade liberty campaign are appalled with it says it's a blow to britain's justice system. this is a fabricated case to get him out of the u.k. where in the past you know with mckinnon we've shown that we are not just prepared to deliver someone to the american authorities so we think that the european arrest

warrants being used by the swedish authorities who are more friendly towards the americans way of doing things just to get in there we. assume is the place that's put on swedish soil this whole case will disappear and he will be arrested under a an american extradition no formal charges have been used the investigators say they're still investigating there's a lot of worry about the quality of the evidence and they don't actually seem to be doing anything like charging him a european way of doing things of ship the person of buying them up in prison and then start trying to put a case together is just an anathema to the british justice system. palestine want a place at the un heritage group this week but the move will pass you ask. a fifth of its funding as the u.s. saying it's cutting off its cash he's also strongly opposed the move and ballasting is now claim these are all suspended having over tax payments in retaliation

there's still a long way to go for palestine today and for. washington vows to veto the bit at the security council saying a peace deal with these route is needed first voice a rush hour radio host comic russel's a chance he says palestinians are on the right track to sovereignty this is the first step i think in a series of steps towards u.n. membership you know the next is going to be more education and cultural organizations and and pretty soon we could see membership in the world health organization which they will decide they can decide to accept palestine as a member just by a simple majority vote as you know bill so you know but however as far as getting statehood you know you want obviously you want the u.s. obviously has a veto and they're just there's no way that they're not going to be using the veto in terms of stopping statehood itself it's one of the arguments that you hear a lot of us wants. to go you know to negotiate with israel in terms of

a hood but you know there's there's such large factions and such vocal factions in israel which is against any sort of palestinian statehood that has not worked in decades they have not been able to achieve that through negotiations and one of the reasons i think is because they just don't have you know they don't have the same kind of u.s. support that israel has so i mean they really are doing what they what they can in terms of good and i just think it's because the u.s. is just too close to israel. if israel doesn't like when they go on obviously even the new u.s. is going to do what they can to quite sure they can go through the channels that you watch one them to go through in order to achieve. extensive coverage of the ongoing conflict between israel and the palestinians that are t.v. dot com and there you'll find the latest attempt to break the blockade of gaza as is. really security forces border to irish canadian border. and the vying for votes the heat is on for

a seat on russia's parliament we'll tell you how candidates are wooing the electorate to back their ballot the details on this and other stories are authority on. the human error was ruled on wednesday as a cause of september is fatal plane crash in the us level in russia which killed all but one on board investigators said one of the pilots wrongly applied brakes on the forty two jap during takeoff if able to reach enough height and struck a mast before plunging off the end of the runway among the forty four killed was the entire yacht us level ice hockey team who are on their way to their first match of the season the probe also found traces of a strong sedative in the co-pilot's blood but it's unclear as to who was behind the fatal error in the tragedy a criminal investigation is continuing and here is some of today's world news out a suicide bomb attack near a mosque in northern afghanistan has killed at least six people and wounded more than a dozen others it happened in the province of worshippers relieving after celebrating

the festival eat among those killed were two local police commanders. not slides have swept through towns in western colombia killing at least fourteen people in one incident four people were buried alive as they slept and many buildings have been destroyed or severely damaged during what has been one of colombia's worst rainy seasons in years. a series of islam as the types of killed at least sixty seven people in northeastern nigeria and more violence is threatened a bomb and gun attack structure close mosques and police stations in a single town and on friday the same group also attacked a military headquarters in a neighboring province with a triple suicide bombing. there are now admission tomorrow school a step closer this week a major experiment every asco has shown scientists that the human body can endure the isolation of such

a long distance space flight i can stumble on reports of the successful conclusion of the mars five hundred project back on earth i well actually they never left but pale faced bleary eyed these six men returning from of time hundred twenty day epic mockup of the mission to mars and back thankful to be back and on this earth glows it is really really great to see you all again rather whole are all going to be an honor to having been part of this remarkable achievement five of them are still professional friendly individuals however what with it's clear that crew cohesion was key to sticking it out this door stayed sealed shut all throughout the seventeen months of the experiment of course it was only a simulation of a trip to mars any of these six men could have left at any time but none of them

did. and scientists behind it wanted to see if the six member crew would be able to go all that time without severe psychological affects from the busy control room i was able to ask them how they got on before the left how of your relationships with the other crew members changed. i want. to go back to how. close for such a. thing in the world. the experiment was kept as real as possible with a twenty minute time delay in communications once the not shit was on its way that meant the team was alone they could talk freely with loved ones who researches decided to move home from the outside world but that was tricky. we had to

keep in mind that some information could come in with private correspondence and some relatives could break the news in this case any prolonged silence on our part could lead to tension and misunderstanding they could think that we withheld the information deliberately for the highlighted trip was a simulated landing on mars with a long isolation and boredom before it scientists observed with amazement just how real it became for them when they need martian one for. their pulse rate was one hundred sixty beats per minute now compared with a pulse of the first. on orbit it was one hundred fifty kid beats per minute the outside world has been in tree five hundred people betting on how and when make statement would fail one bookmaker put eight warm olds in one of the crew members going insane because of it.

yeah. so even though it's only a dry run it's still a significant achievement first mushing play in years. tending to. a four day a religious festival is underway with millions of muslims traveling around the world to visit families and loved ones our case of jacob green try muslims in moscow as they began marking one of their most important festivals of the year. you see from the sheer amount of people that turned out today just what this means for moscow's muslim population to be lining the streets behind me listening to the local women taking part in worship is just concluded also stilly on the jason road
