tonight you love. this magnificent land offers these treasures. between the earth and the sky. on our. greek prime minister is expected to resign through allow a new coalition unity government to be fall in line with demands from the countries office issue. i. battled for america please crack down on the peaceful anti corporate occupy movement spreading fast across the country for nearly two months now. russia questions the legalities a bit too puts trial of the new york jury found the business was guilty of international arms trafficking. and a manned mission to mars one step closer to reality just last week as russia's ambitious experiment of more ground for the red planet successfully ended here in moscow after five hundred twenty day.

for good evening this is r t one is kevin owen you're watching our weekly it's the read of the top stories of the last seven days and first the greek prime minister must resign that's the demand of the country's opposition of the political deadlock to end the head of greece's main opposition party said george perpetrator was dangerous and has called for early elections according to senior government officials and trade could announce his resignation later on sunday hoping it will pave the way for a coalition government while athens is fast running out of time out implement a crucial e.u. bailout plan designed to save the country from bankruptcy the greek debt crisis also making discussions of this wednesday twenty five nation cry it whetted a bell when the greek prime minister made a botched announcement of a referendum on the e.u. rescue plan only to drop it shortly after. i think this is our follow that very

summer. the ever changing greek drama took center stage in cannes for the g twenty week hero host nicolas sarkozy protecting what he calls the beating heart of europe till the end it's up to the show the resolution which is very strong angela merkel annoy 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 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 actually be allowed to decide whether they want things things euro leaders say it is out to greece can really should look like this 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 in the greek domestic politics. but france has given some exactly that idea greece 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 circles see 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 rich 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 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 twenty thirteen reporting from cannes and he's in our party chair of economics the rest was university says that even if a new coalition government is formed in greece of providing a temporary solution to the cross and so anyway. i don't grumble at the greek government has its population behind its plan and it doesn't seem the people in greece are all that willing they got with all the measures that are taken and are dressed they can eat and cause a great you are suffering among many of the great people are rather disturbed even

though they say that they have on to hold onto the euro they don't want to roll our eyes out with all the measures that are being forced on them so a new government name for a few moments creates arms. solutions for some space for a new measures for the resistance is building out and we're living weeks are willing to go along is can be dealt seriously and so i don't see if they really have to measure it at all it's issues have a notion and the instruments who parents are always crisis. coming up on the program in historic day for the palestinian. general conference as does. the draft resolution and decided to meet palestine its member a few thank school complications for the time the heritage body had also for the palestinian bid the full statehood at the un as we reported bit later for. us

police a turning of the heat to me. movement which has now spread across the country since it began nearly two months ago the worst flare up of violence how this week in california offices to cast crowds of peaceful protesters in the city of oakland several people who joined the demonstrations are seriously injured including a u.s. army veteran and over one hundred arrests were made it's the second time the forces cracked down on a rally in the city in the past two weeks. was there in the midst of it all reporting for our team. there are at least one hundred at the clock 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 were several protesters had barricaded the 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 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 tank 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 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 are marching behind as sixteen hands but tons of 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 interns tear gas for these loud sort of gun remade that don't actually hurt anything but air scare that the protesters and journalists on sites. well police are moving in to break up occupy demonstrations across america several arrests made with forces not land in washington with police heavy handedness was caught on camera by our t.v. and in new york too with a movie gallery and some tell the protestors count the album zuccotti park are determined to stand the ground they say authorities are preparing to attempt an eviction media activists to abby martin thinks the police could be acting to provoke them straightens. a lot of people try to paint this movement as you know we're not unified we don't have a cohesive message but as far as i can see we have one message and it's corporate greed and we're not standing for it anymore in a matter what your signs say or what you're saying it all stems from the same

source which is corporate greed running amuck so i'd say that we did have a unified message there were i mean i heard some estimates up to twenty thousand people peacefully marching and successfully shutting down the port of oakland which was huge but you have to ask yourself you know for a fact there was a compact of your town an exposé showing these working as undercover agents into the occupy oakland movement so who are the provocative words if there was probably cation in the group is it undercover police we don't know all we know is that we pass massive the overwhelming majority of us are really peaceful urging people remain peaceful and you have two people throwing things and lighting a dumpster on fire so where the cops we don't know but it's a shame to paint the whole movement as violent when it seems like there's just a few anarchists causing trouble as. well to keep your finger on the pulse of the occupy movement as it continues its rapid spread across america just said to our teams twitter stream for the latest updates from lucy catherine off and the rest of

us to including photos and videos from the protests. easy. the arab league is demanding to be viewed and supplied shed in syria after a peace deal it put in place with damascus pro-gun dozens more anti-government activists reportedly killed in the country as the army continues to suppress the protests to spite the regime agreeing earlier this week stop violence against. more than five hundred political detainees released on saturday but the oppression continues meantime the u.n.

estimates nearly three thousand people being killed in syria since march president assad claims his forces are fighting armed insurgency funded from abroad political analyst carlos watson he thinks the country is being set up for regime change. i think it's a conspiracy by a regional power they wanted to change the regime of bashar al assad they wanted different regime different government with different had and that's why you can see the regional power hasn't been friendly to the situation taking place in syria actually some of these country has been funneling weapons and money and certain ideology to topple the regime of president assad the president of syria a good knowledge there is opposition in the country and here at stand his hand to reconsolidation away then 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 same position an exile those are backed by the western powers and some persian gulf countries. russian business move exhibit 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 his eventual extradited to the u.s. despite stock opposition from moscow correspondent lisa suture reports. here is spent by the u.s. to hunt down one russian man tens of millions of dollars of taxpayer cash poured into a sting operation snatched up from a third country for a month of solitary confinement before a three week trial in the u.s. allegedly arms dealer viktor boot was found guilty on all four charges one conspiring to kill united states nationals two conspiring to kill united states

could witness the virtual. start was this last week admitted as a full moon good to the un's cultural heritage or unesco for the movies and get the united states says it will cut off its funding for the organization seen as a major coup for palestine is gears up for the u.n. to go to recognize the state of late edition on american israel strongly opposing that with washington vowing to use its veto power however i only say that you know school membership is a positive sign for palestine's future. a law like idea that 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 to me and said ben stein it in their efforts to have a state and of course they're trying a new route they're trying. these fall protests 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. statehood bid is that of course the u.s. can be to go 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 the palestine as a member. you a nuclear watchdog astute to publish findings next week which will reportedly suggest that iran has built a nuclear testing facility and show satellite images to prove it but to rand's dismiss those claims calling fabricated it's prompted speculation though that the u.s. u.k. and israel could consider an possible military action against the country's nuclear facilities and it on friday the israeli president said that when it comes to iran quote the international community is closer to finding

a military solution now than a diplomatic one quote but experts warn that the west underestimates around and that an attack on it would result in a world conflict. anyone reading the press reports on these contingency plans be enjoyed by the ministry of defense here in london for an attack on iran was we worrying that if iran is not developing a nuclear missile it will be developed and you could miss so the idea that the americans the british and israel he's looking towards should unprovoked attack on iran and the world a much more dangerous place i cannot imagine a worse alliance with these three people in the west seems to underestimate the strength of the reunion nationalism that is a strong national sense member and so what happens under the foreign intervention into the country and how the shot was installed and maintained by britain america

is a long memories of the way it's presented no the west of the shah is what the regime there will be a bloody war if there is an attack on iran if iran is not iraq as of two thousand and one there will be retaliation from our mass and the world is a more dangerous place because of these reports. but historically follows one a website out heat or cold while you're there the stories as well get more clicks and interest in the case of the lethal poisoning of the russian former f.b.i. agent of examining british prosecutors before the wedding to name another first but i don't think that tradition can be what we're talking about the u.k. awful story that came from the week as well we got online and inferno on the road to watch this horrifying footage from the united kingdom as dozens of collided at least seven and injuring many others and one of the country's worst car accidents in recent years in somerset line at r.t. dot com.

earlier this week the wiki leaks founder julian assange lost his battle against extradition from the u.k. to sweden here now after months of sex crime allegations. i have not been charged with any crime in any country. maintains his innocence and is planning to appeal again he insists 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 believe there's a lot of interest in discrediting a sound you have to his website publication of secret u.s. files. it is astonishing here in britain to see the way the case is being covered two organizations i used to work at the b.b.c. the guardian newspaper the guardian of course had to deal with wiki leaks a kind of character assassination around the world by mainstream media trying to

attack this and it just goes to show what a state journalism is in. new york where the london stock exchange protest just recently i don't suppose many of those mainstream journalists really understand what's going on over there i think one argument here is. is that where the craft of journalism is in crisis julian assange should become some sort of overall professor of journalism and close all the university's courses in journalism down because he really did teach a lot of people that it's about speaking truth to power and speaking of the power less and the idea of him being in court and now the idea of him being rendered for torture in a state that as we know has been carrying out rogue assassinations of its own citizens is is just breathtaking. some of the world news we're covering for you today will start with a rock where a triple explosions rocked a local market in baghdad now reports suggest eight people have been killed and over twenty injured but the police and medics said the number of casualties is set to grow they think 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 expected to leave iraq by the end of the year. a suicide bomb blast near a mosque in afghanistan's northern provinces left at least seven 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 eagle among those killed two local police commanders no jets claimed responsibility of officials are pointing the finger at taliban militants. in colombia the fourteen people being killed by mudslides and swept through a number of towns in the west of the country in one incident four people were buried alive as they slept rescue workers are continuing to try to search for survivors with thirty five people still unaccounted for tonight many buildings have been destroyed or badly damaged during what's being one of colombia's worst rainy seasons of its. so it's just mentioned there the muslim religious festival of leeds begun marking the end of ramadan with million celebrating worldwide but over

a hundred seventy thousand people have taken part in festivities here in nasca with eighty thousand gathering in the capital's main mosque it holidays one of the largest events in the muslim calendar and it coincides with a five day hard pilgrimage to mecca the birthplace of islam. means the feast of the sacrifice with the festival celebrating commitment on the p.b.s. it involves the traditional sacrifice of an animal and sharing it with family and friends. it was a journey across the galaxy and back again all without ever leaving planet earth a simulated round trip to mars has been completed now after a seventeen month long test to see how crew mike cope with the grueling affects of a long distance space travel artie's tom parker was there to see the crew return to normality in moscow after over five hundred days in isolation back on and i well actually they never left but pale faced bleary eyed

and 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 a furlough earth globe is. really really great to see you all again rugger all are all going it's been an honor to have been been part of this remarkable achievement we are five of them are still professional trail the area syrian 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. the scientists one hundred wanted to see if the six member 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 fold and how have your relationships with the other crew members changed. or something like back to. the experiment was kept as real as possible with a twenty minute time delay in communications. on its way meant. they could talk freely with. decided to move home from the outside world that was tricky i mean 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 tension and misunderstanding and they could think that we withheld the information deliberately. the highlight of the cruise trip was a simulated landing on mars with a lawn isolation and boredom before it scientists observed with amazement just how real it became for them when they need the full force but that's their pulse rate was one hundred sixty beats per minute compared with a pulse the first. one orbit was one hundred fifty two beats per minute the outside world to be in tree hundred people betting on how and when makes treatment would fail one bookmaker put eight to warm olds and one of the crew members going insane because of it. yeah.

so even though it's a dry run it's too significantly. some party. could simply almight his through as coming up to eight thirty pm here i'm also riches he was small short before you call the latest was turning out to be installing fed cup final in moscow between russia and the czech republic for about a couple of minutes we also asked for the world's most powerful leaders what he had got what it takes to save the world from a financial abyss reza question and c o n r t from moscow.

please. lose the league. if.
