this is 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 with time running out to comply with international demands for the e.u. bailout to go ahead george bush is in talks with the opposition to form a new coalition government. has been following the deadlock in the greek capital. the future still looks extremely clear the date the prime minister and the government his talks now turned to the formation of a national unity government but there's a lot of confusion if this coalition the plan is not leave because the head of the main opposition party here in the country has rejected calls for a coalition and both again called for the early elections they're playing more of one to one or each other and trying to see who's going to blink first to just to

see whether or not a government of 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 and the prime minister's role this instability coming out of points to the to both great 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. all 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 shocked european partners by calling

a referendum on the e.u. bailout plan a move he later dropped artes and he said now a fall of the summit the ever changing greek drama took center stage in camphor the g twenty meeting hero host nicolas sarkozy protecting what he calls the beating heart of europe till the end predictions a resolution which is very strong and. agree on this 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 cancelled an improv referendum that would have more last allowed the public to decide if they stay or if they go when it comes to the euro or perish the thought that they should be allowed to decide whether they want these things euro leaders say it is up to greece. should look like greece is an independent country and i just want to say they are

perfectly free and i don't want to give any idea that we are trying to get involved in greek domestic politics. but france has given some exactly that idea it 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 of beyond what what the rules of mass rich provide for the real irony with that is that 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

aligns 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 role in financial institutions like the i.m.f. 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 cannes and he's in our party. the national advisor marco pietro pauli believes the whole euro zone needs to be reformed and restructured and some countries have to be let loose. 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 and 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

there's 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 e.u. 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 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 they 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. the general conference as does. end up the draft resolution and the two of me as member of you know. that spot complications for you nasco and the palestinian bid for full statehood up of the way. the u.s. police are turning up the heat on the anti-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 tear gas a crowd of peaceful protesters in the city of oakland several people who are joining 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. was there in the midst of it all reporting for our team. there are at least

a hundred of the not two hundred three hundred police officers in full riot gear several him 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 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 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 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 was there are marching behind as sticks and hands baton hand i don't know if you can 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 tear gas are these loud sort of down and were made that don't actually hurt anyone but definitely air scare that the protesters and journalists on site. police are moving in to break up occupy demonstrations across america several arrests were made with force in atlanta and washington where police have had most was caught on camera by r.t.

oh in new york where the movement began admissable temper protesters camping out in zuccotti park 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 won by raising awareness across america. for the first time in decades people are thinking about the degree to which corporations have power in this country and agree to which the way in which the grecians than our have 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 absurd talk about how we're going to be cutting social security and cutting medicare benefits in order to to to fix the deficit problem we've shifted this movement has been successful because it's changed the conversation and today it's successful because people are going to sites like things that a start or moving their money. a we're keeping our finger on the pulse of the.

occupy movement as it continues its rapid spread across america just had to archie's twitter stream for the latest updates from lucy catherine of 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 but that's despite damascus agreeing 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 the armed insurgency funded from a broad political analyst wasn't thinks the country's been set up for regime change . i think it's a conspiracy by a regional power they wanted to change the regime of bashar assad they want to different regime different government was different and that's why you can see the regional power has been friendly to the situation taking place inside syria actually some of this country has been funneling weapons money and start in the geology to the regime of president assad the president of syria acknowledged.

opposition in the country extend his hand too but it comes 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 opposition an exile those are by the western powers. of the russian businessmen a victor boot a 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. and that's despite strong opposition from moscow our correspondent and i see it has more. years spent by the u.s. to hunt down one russian man tens of millions of dollars of taxpayer cash poor it into a sting operation snatched up from

a third country for months of solitary confinement before a three week trial in the u.s. allegedly arms dealer victor boot was found guilty on all four charges one conspiring to kill united states nationals two conspiring to kill united states officers and employees three conspiring to use and acquire anti-aircraft missiles and for conspiring to provide material support to the fark the forty four year old russian air cargo business men fascinated hollywood one of our every twelve people . on the court. and only on the other eleven. booed lost his case in the court of u.s. public opinion long before his trial kicked off raising concerns of the fairness of his trial this is the lord of war. the merchant of death right and you've got him in your hands right he's in custody it's a great feeling u.s. officials were relentless in their efforts to get behind bars the so-called

merchant of death is now a federal inmate american agents posing as far as members of colombian group to terrorist in the u.s. but not by many other countries and the u.n. met with and then arrested in thailand in two thousand and eight after twice being found not guilty by thai courts the u.s. reportedly played dirty by arm twisting thailand into extraditing him to america they're willing to flaunt every international law to get what they want and that means doing all these illegal things in the case of the trouble to extradite him or i should say kidnapping boot family also called u.s. actions entrapment and kidnapping the full sky i can accept the possibility that they might have some information that might be of interest to someone. why is it that other countries don't just think to themselves that there is someone who has some interesting information and why don't those government just drag those people onto their territory moscow's request 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 us lacked jurisdiction was ignored by the court boots defense says the russian was aware that he was not in touch with real fork members and all he was trying to do was to old cargo planes we can appeal to this judge. that the verdict was rendered against the weight of the evidence but 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 to magically crimes manufactured jurisdiction and manufactured evidence relentless was you know basically catford to bring into america. by any means necessary the journalist says boot is one of many victims of u.s. judicial power play but i feel that victor in this particular charges that were brought

against him that he's innocent so you know i don't i don't want any innocent man whether it be russian citizens or to boot or troy davis to be you know sentenced to life or convicted of a crime that they didn't commit victor boots why should the u.s. is a criminal in this case that the actions currently carried out by the u.s. special services are an organized provocation 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 boots return to russia has always maintained his innocence and will keep fighting for justice but with us muscles flex tight to keep him in an american prison is facing from twenty five years to life behind. our's the sentencing will come in february and march new york. and coming up in the program of the web it's closing in on babble wiki leaks founder julian assange

promises to fight on after a london court rejected his appeal i guess extradition plus. back from the red is six men who had a grueling simulated mission to mars minus the space wife and artie is on the scene to witness their virtual return. before that of palestine was this week admitted as a full member to the u.s. cultural and heritage on unesco but the move his anger at the u.s. which says it will profits funding to the organization it's seen as a major coup for palestine as it gears up for one vote on recognizing its statehood later this month america and israel are strongly opposed to the bid with washington valentini use its veto power however analysts say that unesco membership is a positive sign for palestine's future. the symbolic idea that the all these nations wanted to let palestine in over the objections of the u.s. and israel is very significant i think and it. tells timmins have been stymied 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 in the one. or statehood bid is that of course the u.s. can be toe in the security council that the latter one where is the vote there's no veto and it was voted overwhelmingly that people went against what the u.s. and israel wanted and voted in the 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 tehran has dismissed the claims calling them fabricated it's prompted speculation that the

u.s. u.k. evie's for oil are considering possible military action against the country's 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 but 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 used permanent threats against iran on the part of israel who are calling for a preemptive strike. said and it all coincides with the débâcle 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 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 the israeli american british or a combination of all three forces. earlier this week illegally founder julian assange lost his appeal battle against extradition from the u.k. to sweden he will now have to answer a sex crime allegations have not been charged with any crime in any country sarge maintains his innocence and is planning to appeal again says that his case is politically motivated the whistle blowing web site was forced to suspend its operations to raise funds after a financial blockade many analysts say there is a lot of interest and discrediting is after his websites publication of secret us why. this is just the latest in

a saga isn't it kind of scandinavian viking saga of the barbarity of which it is being treated is appalling there's been an eighteen month 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 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 dominic stress can sexting it seems to me in any real basis for this as we heard there's not even been charges over in sweden and so yes it's 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 news recovering for you today and we start with iraq where a triple explosion has rocked a local market in baghdad reports of just six people have been killed and over twenty injured but police and medics say the number of casualties will grow the attack follows a statement made by iraq's prime minister urging. 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 bag lot of provinces left at least six people dead and injured more than a dozen others the attacker detonated his vest as worshippers were leaving after celebrating the start of the muslim festival of eat 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 which through a number of towns to the west of the country in one incident four were 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 badly damaged during what's been one of colombia's worst rainy seasons in years. and i was a journey across the galaxy and all without ever leaving planet earth a simulated round trip to mars has been completed after a seventeen month long test to see how a crew might cope with a grueling effects of long distance space travel 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 mockup of the mission to mars and back they're

thankful to be back among their fellow earth to us it is really really great to see you all again rather hauler warming it's been an honor to have been been part of this remarkable achievement five of them are professional friendly our individuals i have ever war 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 the 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 severe psychological effects from the busy control room i was able to ask them how they got on the four they left how are your relationships with the other crew members changed at the beginning i was. not hoping i was

maybe we're due for something like that to happen you know like right or something close cracker for such a long you know the must not know thing in the world. but. we have been very. effective from the beginning. the experiment was kept as real as possible with a twenty minute time delay in communications once the ship was on its way that meant the team was alone they could talk freely with loved ones but researchers decided to withhold news from the outside world but that was tricky. we had to keep in mind that some information could come in with private correspondence. some relatives could break the news in this case any prolonged silence on our part could lead to tensions and misunderstanding they could think that we withheld the information deliberately that's within what must the highlight of the cruise trip

was a simulated landing on mars with long isolation and boredom before it scientists observed with amazement just how little it became for them when they made martian landfall. with nationalists but that's in both their pulse rate was one hundred sixty beats per minute now compared with the pulse of the first constant not year ago in orbit it was a hundred and fifty two beats per minute the outside world has been intrigued by minus five hundred mostly through betting on how and when he makes time and would fail to make a put eight to one all day one of the crew members going insane because of it. that. way by the way. so even though it's only a dry run it's still a significant achievement for earth's first martian pioneers.
