and amanda mission to mars came one step closer to reality this week of russia's ambitious experiment a round trip to the red planet successfully ended in moscow after five hundred twenty six. this is r.t. live from moscow thanks for joining us this sunday afternoon now winning a crucial confidence vote didn't mean an end to the problems facing the greek prime minister or time fast running out to comply with international demands for the e.u. bailout to go ahead george papandreou is in talks with the opposition it's a form a new coalition government for a thousand following the deadlock and the greek capital. the future still looks extremely clear that they could prime minister and the government says talks now turn to the formation of a national unity government but there's

a lot of confusion over this coalition plan not least because the head of the main opposition party here in the country has rejected calls for a coalition and consequent calls for the early elections they're playing or want one of each other and we're trying to see who's going to blink first to just to see whether or not much national unity will be created we saw the prime minister 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 parties on thursday and possibly talk turning to someone else the thing is the prime minister's role this instability coming at the point of a tool. for the future of the years and the last thing anyone wanted right now with even more instability and experience that's exactly what they got it felt like change was in the at the end of the week it seems that much actually still remains

the same but for how long and what form that government will survive remains on. germany and france threatened to kick greece out of the years on and warrant at this week's g. twenty meeting in canada that it won't get the next installment of rescue money well that was after the greek prime minister a shock here pm partners by calling a referendum on the e.u. bailout plan a move he later brought archy's and he said now with all of the summit the ever changing greek drama took center stage in cannes for the g twenty meeting hero host nicolas sarkozy protecting what he calls the beating heart of europe till the end. resolution which is very strong. 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 of last mile the public to decide if they stay or if they go when it comes to the euro perish the thought that they should be allowed to decide whether they want these things euro leaders say it is to greece should look like this if greece is an independent country and i just want to say they are perfectly free i don't want to give any idea that we are trying to get involved in domestic politics. but france has given some exactly that idea there is no longer an independent country it 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 and beyond. what the rules of mass which 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 which some hope for the single currency lies with the emerging economies or the brics who have already pledged to try and help the euro stay afloat but with a condition president medvedev says they want to play a bigger world in financial institutions like the i and math and a 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 twenty thirteen reporting from cannes and he's in our in our city. national advice or market or poorly believes the whole euro zone needs to be reformed restructured and some countries have to be ready. in my view the best the best option for the greeks is to default

of course that there is much bigger financial consequences for the for the rest of europe than for the rest of the world if that happens but if we're talking about what is in the best interest of the greek people then then then as probably the best outcome many would say that the greek default has been delayed until the that the germans the french banks can can actually deal with it can can the leaders do something more well yes what needs to happen is a restructuring of the eurozone either those countries which are not truly aligned which is the peripheral countries leave the euro or there is further. political and fiscal integration in europe that those are the those are the possible solutions there is a third possible solution which is a lot more printing of money now. the europeans could print money and monetize the

debt but that would then send the inflation spiral that there is no there there is no easy solution to that but you have to come to terms with the fact that there is too much debt too much sovereign debt and it will not all be repaid some of it is going to have to be written off and there is going to be pain and suffering to actually go through that process. coming up a historic day for the palace to us the general conference as does. the draft resolution and the side the two of me palestine as member of you know. that's what complications for you vasco and the palestinian bid for full statehood happened where. by us police are turning up the heat on the corporate occupy movement which has spread across the country since it began nearly two months ago the worst flare up of violence happened this week in california officers steer gas

a crowd of peaceful protesters in the city of oakland several people who were drawing the demonstration were seriously injured including a u.s. army veteran and over a hundred arrests roommate it's a second time before since crackdown to rally the city of the past two weeks off and i was there in the midst of it all reporting for our team. there are at least a hundred the count two hundred three hundred police officers in full riot gear 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 were 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 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 after the peaceful

march this was a scene unfolding on the streets of oakland no other media outlets no other television outlets here on the frontlines 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 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 in these cars there's are marching behind as sticks and hands because you can't know people get any closer on that shots but they're certainly coming here the crowd as you can hear is chanting oakland perhaps you can see over there several police officers with their weapons out shooting. for these loud sort of done raids that don't actually hurt anything

but don't care scared that the protesters and journalists on site. police are move against a break up occupy demonstrations across america several arrests were made with force in atlanta and washington where police have had was caught on camera by our team in new york where the who would be gathered miss a temper protesters camping out as a crowd part are determined to stand their ground and they say authorities are preparing to attempt an eviction activists helping the occupy movement along saying it's already raising awareness across around. for the first time in decades people are thinking about the degree to which corporations have power in this country and really wish to the way in which the operations are now power has been taking power away from regular american citizens it's been a phenomenal success because over the last few weeks we've been talking about the degree to which income inequality is a problem in this country rather than an absurd talk about how we're going to be

cutting social security medicare benefits in order to try to fix the deficit problem we've shifted this movement has been successful because it's changed the conversation and today it's success he could keep we're going to sites like things that it's not or moving there by. the word keeping our finger on the pulse of the. occupy movement as it continues its rapid spread across america just had to r.t.c. twitter stream for the latest updates from lucy catherine out and the rest of our u.s. bureau including photos and videos from the protests. to .

the arab media is demanding an immediate end to bloodshed in syria as a peace deal brokered by the organization seems to have failed dozens more anti-government protesters are reported dead in the country as the army continues to suppress the protests that's despite damascus agree her earlier this week to stop deadly violence against demonstrators more than five hundred political detainees were released by the regime on saturday but bloodshed continues the u.n. estimates over three thousand people have been killed in syria since march however president assad claims his forces are fighting our insurgency wanted from a broad political analyst come along wasn't thinks the country's been set up for regime change. i think it's a conspiracy by a regional power they want to change the regime of bashar al assad they want a different regime different government with different and that's why you can

see the regional power has and been friendly to the situation taking the place inside syria actually some of this country has been funneling what ben's money uncertain ideology to topple the regime of president assad the president of syria acknowledge. there is opposition in the country and he would extend his hand to the consolidation within the his country for those people who are asking for change and that's why today they have a constitutional reform but there is an external power or what they say i'm opposition and exiled those are backed by the western powers. of. russia and this is not a victory to faces a life sentence after a new york jury found him guilty of agreeing to sell arms to terrorists and conspiring to kill americans he was arrested in thailand in two thousand and eight after a sting operation and was eventually extradited to the u.s.

that they might have some information that might be of interest the government but why is it that other countries don't just think for themselves that there is someone who has some interesting information and why don't those government just chide those people out of their territory moscow's requests to send him to russia were brushed aside there was no official decision of an extradition russia called boots extradition illegal and question the validity of his conviction one of the main arguments of the defense that the u.s. lacked jurisdiction was ignored by the court defense says the russian was aware that he was not in touch with real fark members and all he was trying to do was sell to all cargo planes we could appeal to this judge. that the verdict was rendered against the weight of the evidence and that we could also proceed to the united states court of appeals but with the vigor with which it was brought to the u.s. experts like george map who has attended every hearing say a successful appeal is unlikely we use the magic crimes manufactured jurisdiction

and manufactured evidence. with you know recently. bringing to america that any right. means necessary the journalist says boot is one of many victims of u.s. judicial power play if you will the victor and it's typical charges that were brought against him that he's innocent so you know i don't i don't want any innocent man whether russian citizen brit we were. you know sentence right or wrong because we're trying to. the u.s. is a criminal in this case that the actions currently carried out by the u.s. special services are an organized probably a sham organized crime towards a russian citizen or any other citizens of the world when they just have deemed them allegedly dangerous it doesn't even have to be specific action moscow has vowed to continue to push for votes return to russia has always maintained his innocence and will keep fighting for justice but with us muscles flexed tight to

keep him in an american prison is facing from twenty five years to life behind bars the sentencing will come in february and archie new york. and coming up in the program of the web that is closing here and battle wiki leaks founder julian assange promises to fight on for a lot of important drugs his appeal i guess extradition plus. back from the red a six man who grueling simulated mission to mars has the space white and our t.v. is on the scene to witness their virtual return. for that of palestine was this week admitted as a full member to the u.s. cultural and heritage arm unesco but the move has anger of the u.s. which has more profits funding to the organization it's seen as a major coup for palestine as it gears up for one both are recognizing its statehood later this month america and israel are strongly opposed to the bid but

washington vowing to use its veto power however analysts say that unesco membership is a positive sign for palestine's future. the symbolic idea that all these nations wanted to lead palestine in over the objections of the us in israel is very significant i think and it. tells to me and said ben stein meet in their efforts to have a state and of course they're trying a new route they're trying. he's full protest and they're trying this method of trying to get into more and more international organizations to build their legitimacy and i think that's a better way to go than violence the difference between this vote and the one. stated it is that of course the u.s. can be to zero in the security council that the latter one where is this vote there's no veto and it was voted overwhelmingly that people went against what the

u.s. and israel wanted and voted in palestine as a member. the u.n. nuclear watchdog is due to publish findings next week which will reportedly suggest iran has built a nuclear testing facility and show satellite images to prove it but their own has dismissed the claims calling them fabricated it's prompted speculation that the u.s. u.k. eddy's reller considering possible military action i guess the question is nuclear facilities on friday the israeli president said that when it comes to iran a quote the international community is closer to finding a military solution than a diplomatic one the experts warn that an attack on iran could lead to a new world conflict. this has been going on for almost for more than four years now we are imminent threats against iran on the part of the israel who are calling for a preemptive strike. and coincides with the back of israeli attack on southern lebanon in two thousand and six so i think we have to be very

cautious and basically understand that what is is the cornerstone of probably what is an ongoing very tough negotiation to move forward towards the world governments where russia and china are not going to be 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 he's really american british or he comes with all three forces. earlier this week a week or leaks founder julian assange lost his appeal battle against extradition from the u.k. to sweden he will now have to answer sucks crime allegations have not been charged with any crime in any country maintains his innocence and is planning to appeal again says that his case is politically motivated as

a whistle blowing web site was forced to suspend its operations to raise funds for a for that shot blocking. many analysts say there is a lot of interest of discrediting out of his website's publication of secret us why . this is just the latest in the saga isn't it a kind of scandinavian viking saga of the barbarity of which it is being treated is appalling it's been eighteen months disruption campaign now against what is actually one of the most important websites in the world what what wiki leaks does is it was among the most powerful tools to address corruption corruption at the highest levels and what we've seen over the last few years with these expeditions in other parts of the world afghanistan iraq a later one libya is the importance of whistle blows but be able to actually expose criminal behavior as being the most powerful person in a way in the world exposing some of these crimes what is certainly very similar

isn't it to the common extras can sexting it seems to me the reason any real basis for this we heard it is not even being charges over in sweden and so yes it's a spear yes attempt to shut down what is one of the most important media outlets in the world right now. now let's take a look at some other world is recovering for you today as we start with iraq where a triple explosion has rocked a local market in baghdad ports are just six people have been killed and over twenty injured police and medics say the number of casualties will grow far was the statement made by iraq's prime minister urging its security forces to clamp down on any threats of violence the last thirty three thousand u.s. troops in the country are expected to leave iraq by the end of the year. a suicide bomb blast near a mosque in afghanistan's northern a bad lot of province has left at least six people dead and injured more than

a dozen others the attacker detonated his vest as worshipers relieving after celebrating the start of the muslim festival of ied among those killed were two local police commanders well no one has yet claimed responsibility but officials are pointing the finger at taliban militants. in colombia at least fourteen people have been killed by mudslides with you a number of towns of the bus of the country in what is a bent forward buried alive as they slept rescue workers are continuing to search for survivors with thirty five people still unaccounted for many buildings have been destroyed or about me down this story what's been a lot of colombia's worst rainy seasons in years. that i was a journey across the galaxy and all about ever leaving planet earth a simulated round trip to mars has been completed after a seventeen month long test to see how crew my cope with the grueling effects of long distance space travel are on board was there to see the crew return to

normality in moscow after over five hundred days in isolation. back on earth i well actually they never left but pale faced bleary eyed these six men are returning from a five hundred twenty day epic a mockup of the mission to mars and back they're thankful to be back on earth the earth glows it is really really great to see you all again rather polar orbiting it's been an honor to have him be a part of this remarkable achievement we are five of the more stark professional fraley area syrian individuals i have ever worked 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. the scientists behind it wanted to see if the six man crew would be able to go

all that time without some psychological effects from the busy control room i was able to ask them how they got on the floor they left how are your relationships with the other crew members changed. course. you know. the experiment was kept as real as possible with a twenty minute time delay in communications almost the not shit was on its way that meant. they could talk freely with loved ones who researches decided to move home news from the outside world but that was trickle. we had to keep in mind

that some information could come in with private correspondence and some relatives could break and news in this case any prolonged silence on our part could lead to tensions and misunderstanding they could think that we held the information deliberately vertical from us the highlights of the cruise trip with 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 made martian land for. all naturals protecting their culture it was a hundred and sixty beats per minute compared with the pulse of the first year ago in one orbit is one hundred fifty two beats per minute the outside world has been intrigued by most five hundred people betting on how and when an experiment failed one bookmaker put eight to warm olds in one of the crewmembers going insane because of it.

yeah. so even though it's a dream i run it's two significant achievement first martian plane is. fantastic. and in a few moments r.t. asks whether the world's most powerful leaders really have got what it takes to save the world from a political i piss off first a recap of the week's made him. to the with.

the is. just silly.
