just after five pm here in the russian capital this is our now our top story the greek prime minister will announce his resignation after a new coalition has decided that's according to a government spokesman the opposition leader also said that george papandreou must go if the dog block is to end our firth is in the greek capital for us. the future still looks extremely clear for both the prime minister and the government as talks now turn 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 one off 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 that being in the prime minister's role this instability coming at a point to the truth. of the future the years and the last thing anyone wanted right now with even more instability and it feels 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 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 euro zone of war and at this week's g. twenty meeting in cannes that it won't get the next installment of rescue money 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 no way follow 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. which is very strong. 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 can return 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 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 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're trying to get involved in greek

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 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 some hope for the single currency lines 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 now in our city. and coming up a story day for the palestinians. the general conference has those looking to add up to a draft resolution and to add me palestine as member you know. that's more complications for unesco and the palestinian bid for full statehood at the un . 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 tear gas a crowd of peaceful protesters in the city of oakland several people who joined the demonstration were seriously injured including a u.s. army veteran and over a hundred arrests were made it's the second time the forces cracked down on a rally in this city in the past two weeks. was there in the midst of it all reporting for it. there are at least a hundred the not two hundred three hundred police officers in full riot gear several i'm 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 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 sticks that hands baton hand i don't know if you can get any closer on that shot 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 downgrade that don't actually

hurt anyone but down here scared 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 heavy handedness was caught on camera by our team over in new york where the movement began with september protesters camping out as a party are determined to stand their ground as they say authorities are preparing to attempt an eviction activist groups have beheaded this is an attack on the american jewish. very sickly sending a message that we are in as free of a population and a as free of a society as we thought we were basically a police presence. used against the mass majority of the ninety nine percenters and that's something we do not like to see in the american society the

american people can only handle so much of the class because you say any quality in america where the land of the american dream and the middle class standard of living under these situations we're seeing that this wonderful country has turned into a plutocracy of the rich for the rich by the rich. to keep. your figure on the pulse of the occupy movement as it continues its rapid spread across america has just had to artie's twitter stream for the latest updates from. the rest of our u.s. bureau photos and videos of the protests. to .

the arab league 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 well that's despite damascus agreeing earlier that this week to stop a deadly violence against demonstrators more than a five hundred political detainees were released by the regime on saturday bloodshed continues the u.n. estimates over three thousand people have been killed in syria since march however president assad playings his forces are fighting armed insurgency funded from abroad political analyst ahmed ali was and he thinks the country has 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 hasn't been friendly to the situation taking place inside syria actually some of this country has been funneling weapons and money and starting the ideology to topple the regime of president assad the president. syria acknowledges there is opposition in that country and he extended his hand too but it comes. to 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. opposition an exile those are backed by the western powers. country and over in libya nato wrapped up its intervention on monday and with the colonel gone has left the country but with on the militias running rampant tripoli's new rulers now have

their hands full restoring order human rights groups have uncovered a series of brutal reprisals against gadhafi is former loyalists but activist fred abrams says the west is trying to downplay the killings. but in some places the violence is quite bad the town we looked out in was called and the militias from the neighboring town of misrata are terrorizing the people of to where they accuse them of having fought for qaddafi of having committed atrocities in his name and you know the problem here is that the militias are not under the control of the political authorities the civilian authorities and that's the big challenge for libya going forward is bringing the many militias under a unified civilian command and that will help solve this problem there's definitely a trend to say we did the right thing meaning nato governments they want to say that this was a successful operation so there is

a tendency to downplay the conflicts and the tensions now but at the same time in our discussions with them of some of these governments they're taking them very seriously because they know that this will cause problems in the future they want them addressed now trying to support the more open minded and democratic minded forces within the new authorities and move libya in the right direction i think that governments are nervous about this these tensions their revenge and they're trying to to take steps to to quell it a russian a businessman a victor boot 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's the spite strong opposition from moscow our correspondent then to see if your kid now has more in this. here is spent by the u.s.

to hunt down was a russian man tens of millions of dollars of taxpayer cash hoard into a sting operation snatched up from a third country for months of solitary confinement before a three week trial in the us alleged 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 for the forty four year old russian air cargo business men fascinated hollywood wanted far from every twelve people. in the course. and only on the other eleven. bood 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 park members a colombian group doing 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 west reportedly play dirty arm twisting in 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 to extradite him or i should say kidnapping boot family also called us actions entrapment and kidnapping the full sky so i can accept the possibility that they might have some information that might be of interest that money. why is it that other countries don't just think to themselves about 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 u.s. 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 to 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 russian citizens are to boot or troy davis to be you know sentenced to life or convicted of a crime that they didn't commit troops why should the u.s. with that is a criminal 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 votes 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. the sentencing will come in february and. new york. coming up in the

program the web is close again and about a little leaks founder julian assange promises to fight on after i want to import taxes abuse against extradition plus. back from the six men to conclude a grueling simulated mission to mars minus the space flight is on the scene witnessed their return. but first spell assigned was this week admitted as a full member to the u.s. cultural and heritage arm but the move us actor of the u.s. which says it will cut off its funding to the organization it's seen as a major coup for palestine as it appears up as a united vote on recognizing it's straight ahead later this month america and israel are strongly opposed to the big washington balloting to use its veto power however analysts say that unesco membership is a positive sign for palestine. 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. to use 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. well we've got my. more news on our website r t v let's take

a look at what's there for you right now and a twist in the case of illegal poisoning of the russian a former f.b.i. agent. british prosecutors are reportedly ready to make another suspect and seek his extradition to the u.k. . on the roads washed their support of footage from the u.k. as dozens of cars collided killing at least seven people and injuring many others and one of the country's worst car accidents in recent years. earlier this week we could be on a song lost his appeal battle against extradition from the u.k. to sweden where he will now have to ask for sex crime allegations. i have not been charged with any crime in any country meetings as innocent as this planet of people

again here says that his case is politically motivated the whistle blowing web site was forced to suspend its operations to raise funds out there in the national blocking many alice say there is a lot of interest discrediting a sergeant after his website's publication of secret us by us. this is just the latest in a saga isn't it a 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 whistleblowers being 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 dominic strauss kahn sexting it seems to me that there isn't any real basis for this as we heard there's not even been charges over in sweden and so yes it's an 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 we're covering for you today and we start with iraq were trouble explosion has rocked a local market baghdad early reports suggest eight 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 his 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. a suicide bomb blast near a mosque in afghanistan's northern a bug

festivities and moscow with eighty thousand gallons of the capitals in the holidays one of the largest events in the muslim calendar and coincides with a five day harsh build image to mecca the birthplace of islam. the feast of the sacrifice with a festival celebrating commitment and it involves the traditional sacrifice of an apple and sharing it with families and friends. now i was a journey across the galaxy and back all without ever leaving planet earth simulator round trip to mars has been completed after a seventeen month long test to see how a crew i cope with the grueling effects of long distance space travel larkin's time bart was there to see the crew return to normality in moscow after over five hundred days in isolation back on the i thought 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 thankful to be back home on this earth to others it is really really great to see you all again rather polar orbiting it's been an honor to have been been part of this remarkable achievement we have five of them are still professional friendly 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 the six men and crew would be able to go all the time without severe psychological effects from the busy control room i was able to ask them how they got on before the how of your relationships with the

other crew members changed. at the beginning i was hoping not hoping i was maybe waiting for something like that to happen you know like fight or something close cracker for such a long time it works you know it must not most thing in the world. but. we have been a very. effective from the beginning. of the experiment was kept as real as possible with a twenty minute time delay in communications the ship was on its way meant the t.v. was a load they could talk freely with local ones who searches decided to head home for news from the outside world but that was tricky i mean with those 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 or now could lead to tensions and misunderstanding they could think that we withheld the information deliberately that's within four months the highlight of the cruise trip was

a simulated landing on mars with a long isolation and boredom before it scientists observed with amazement just how little it became for them when they made martian landfall. will have this but that's in both their pulse rate was one hundred sixty beats per minute now compared with the pulse of the first concert tonight a year ago and on orbit it was a hundred and fifty two beats per minute the outside world to has been intrigued by movies five hundred most people betting on how and when an experiment would fail. may can put eight to one all day on one of the crew members going insane because of it. we're happy that somebody. had a lot of money to fix that nobody yet went crazy and nobody went out. so even though it's only a dry run it's still

a significant. it's fixed. coming your way shortly and look at the underground world of radical environmentalists who will go to any lengths including violence to fight for the planet while all that after the headlines.
