and also tonight in greece approved or under way to negotiate for going to coalition government all eyes are on the product minister who's resignation is expected any time since. i. last battle for america police crackdown on a peaceful as he called for the occupy movement spreading across the country for nearly two months now. russia questions of the galaxy a victim puts trial after a new york jury found the business guilty of international arms trafficking. and a manned mission to mars came one step closer to reality this week as russia's ambitious experiment of more round trip to the red planet successfully ended in

moscow after five hundred twenty days. welcome it's midnight here in moscow you're watching the weekly from r t it's around over the top stories of the last seven days with me kevin when. greece is president has just finished hosting crunch talks between the country's embattled prime minister and the main opposition chief politicians seek common ground and the formation of an interim government comes opposition has been calling on george papandreou to resign to bring an end to the ongoing political deadlock there now according to city government officials could announce his resignation in the coming hours hoping it will pave the way for unity coalition meantime athens is fast running out of time to implement that crucial e.u. bailout plan it's designed to save the country from bankruptcy. i thought

a journalist really suffered through and following developments in athens she says that the government's playing a dangerous game while the great people paying the price. up until now from his side from his party have said i will resign but first i am in favor of the formation of this coalition government people who could see that in a way they are desperate because when you see your wage to be capped off and to your pension you don't probably money their families that they don't have money even to buy food for their kids and now they just want from the government from both parties to find a solution but the time is limited somebody has to give me a super insisted euro group that greece will be foreclosed on not the decision of twenty sixth of october because the money are enough until my fifteenth of december . couple of weeks ago we knew that's money where enough till november now we know

we know something different and everybody here expects a solution because if pensions are not given if wages are not given the greek citizens are ready to react and the greek debt crisis also dominated discussions of last week's g. twenty meeting in cairo it descended this term or when the greek prime minister it is published announcement of a referendum on the new e.u. bailout plan only then to drop it shortly afterwards in this in the fall 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 circulations a resolution which is very strong. 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 improper referendum that would have more of 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 where they want things things euro leaders say it is to greece can really 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 increase domestic politics. but france has given some exactly that idea but 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 are running a budget deficit of above and beyond what what the rules of master 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 twenty thirteen reporting from cannes and he's in our in our city. coming up on the story for the

palestinians. the general conference as does. the draft resolution and decided to list its member. but that's cool complications for the heritage body and the palestinian bid for full statehood at the u.n. as we reported. u.s. police are turning of the heat of the anti corporate occupy movement to spread across the country since it began nearly two months ago the worst flare up of violence this week in california offices teargassed a crowd of peaceful protesters in the city of oakland several people who joined the strike seriously injured including a u.s. army veteran and over one hundred the rest will make it specially the second time the forces cracked a rally in the city in the past two weeks. in the midst of it all reporting for us . there are at least a hundred two hundred three hundred police officers in full riot gear as you can

see as ban think 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 street from the police 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 front lines we have been standing here we have seen tear gas fired several protesters injured from the tear gas and i can smell it in the air right now i wish i could describe it better but very intimidating show of force when you have this line of police slowly marching forward with. testers 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 and hands but johnson can't get any closer on that shot but they're certainly coming here and the crowd as you can hear is chanting oakland perhaps you can see over there several police officers with their weapons out shooting at either tear gas or it is loud sort of kind of remade that don't actually hurt anything here scare the protesters and journalists on site. and police moving in to break up occupy demonstrations across america several arrests were made with force in atlanta and washington police heavy handedness was caught on camera by r.t. in new york where the movement began in mid september protesters noontime counting down zuccotti park saying there the time to stand they told us so he's preparing

the sink for a vacation media outlets that he mocks had since the place could be actions of provoke them and strikes and still. 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 and it 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 could 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 we know for a fact there was a cop watch a video done an exposé showing these working as undercover agents into the occupy oakland movement so who are the provocateurs if there was provocation in the group is it undercover police we don't know all we know is that we nasa and nasa you.

overwhelming majority of us remaining peaceful urging people remain peaceful and you have two people throwing things and lighting a dumpster on fire so were the cops we don't know but it's a shame that the whole movement as violent when it seems like there's just a few anarchists causing trouble. pulling people off and all poles of the occupy movement as it continues its record spread across america just heard throughout his twitter stream for the latest updates from lucy craft and often the rest of us peter that this is really been the thick of it from the start. line there as well we've got photos and videos from the protests all the latest for you from us.

the arab league some are going to be needed and bloodshed in syria after a peace deal are put in place with damascus broke down dozens more anti-government activists are reportedly killed in the country as the army continues to suppress the protests that's despite agreement earlier this week to stop violence against demonstrators all the five hundred political detainees were released on saturday the oppression continues the u.n. estimates over three thousand people have been killed in syria now since march the president assad claims his forces are fighting armed insurgency funded from abroad political analysts camel was in a sense the country's being set up for regime change. i think it's a conspiracy by regional power they wanted to change the regime of bashar al assad they wanted a different regime different government was different bad and that's why you can see the regional power hasn't been friendly to the situation taking place inside

syria actually some of these country has been funneling what pens and money and certain ideology to topple the regime of president assad the president of syria acknowledges there is opposition in that country and he extended his hand to the conciliation within 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 in our position in exile those are backed by the western powers some persian gulf country russian businessman for example faces a life sentence for a new york jury found him guilty of the green to sell arms to terrorists and conspiring to kill americans he was arrested in thailand in two thousand and eight after a sting operation was eventually extradited to the u.s. despite strong opposition from moscow a correspondent mr reports. here is spent by the u.s.

to hunt down one russian man tens of millions of dollars of taxpayer cash poor into a sting operation snatched up from a third country for months of solitary confinement before a three week trial in the u.s. a legit arms dealer viktor 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 a require anti-aircraft missiles and for conspiring to provide material support to the fork and forty four year old russian air cargo business men fascinated hollywood part of our ritual people. are of course. going on the other or rather booed lost his case in the court of u.s. public opinion long before his trial kicked off raising concerns about the fairness of his trial this is the lord of war. the merchant of. 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 a so-called merchant of death is now a federal inmate american agents posing a spark members a colombian group terrorist in the u.s. but not by nini other countries and the u. when 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 plea dirty arm twisting in thailand into extraditing him to america they're willing to flaunt everything national law to get what they want and that means doing all these illegal things in the case of the extradite him or kidnap a good family also called us actions entrapment and kidnapping was quite 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 for themselves

that there is someone who has some interesting information and why don't those government just dragged those people out of their territory what 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 the 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 suit was brought to the u.s. experts like george map who has attended every hearing say a successful appeal is unlikely the maginot crimes manufacturing jurisdiction and manufacturing evidence here operation relentless was you know i think that's

because america. right. necessary the journalist says boot is one of many victims of u.s. judicial power play playfield 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 good or trade your sentence right for america or cry and it didn't commit richard roots why should the u.s. that is a criminal in this case did the actions currently carried out by the u.s. special services are an organized provocation organized crime towards a russian citizen or any other systems that are out when they just have deemed them allegedly dangerous it doesn't even have to be it's taking action moscow has vowed to continue to push for boots return to russia your group has always maintained his innocence and we'll 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 bars the sentencing will come in february and r.t.e.

new york coming up with a program to where bruce closing in and buckled wiki leaks from the stars promises . from london called the jacksons a real against exploitation plus. for the red six men conclude a grueling simulated mission to mars minus the space flight and our teams on the scene witnessed the true return. this week admitted as a full member of the u.s. cultural heritage army mesko of the u.s. which says it will cut off its funding for the organization now it's seen as a major coup nonetheless for palestine as a gears up for the u.n. vote to recognize its stated later this month america is rather strongly opposed to that period with washington vying to use its veto power but a palestinian presidential advisor says that the u.s. is being hypocritical when it comes to its policy in the region. and your crowd here the united states of america is celebrating the arab spring going into the

heart of a square in egypt and shaking the hands of demonstrators seeking democracy while banning palestinians from having their own democracy on their own independence that's you will act and that's totally unacceptable what's also true this is the fact that the united states of america has in the process rather than the president i thought he would cut aid and now we hear the foreign secretary secretary clinton is calling upon congress to reconsider this position and i certainly hope that the american administration would reconsider this and that the issue also financially for us will not pay off and the palestinian and the international an infantryman who will consolidate palestinian independence will not be subjected he will. feel whole by it's not share thoughts if anything that has to be thought of endorsement and now lives and promotion and a voice added to the palestinian voice and i think this voice ought to be addressed and addressed carefully. he will need to watch dogs you can publish findings later

this week which will reportedly suggest a rat is built a nuclear testing facility and will show satellite images to prove it but surrounds dismissed those claims saying the fabricated prompted nonetheless speculation that the u.s. the u.k. and israel are considering possible military action against the country's nuclear facilities on friday the israeli president said that when it comes to iran quote the international community is closer to finding a military solution but a diplomatic one end quote but experts warn that the west underestimates iran and that an attack on it would result in a world conflict anyone reading the press reports on these contingency plans been shot by the ministry of defense here in london for an attack and must be worrying that if iran is not developing you could miss out. and you could miss so face with the idea that the americans the british and he's really he's are looking towards an unprovoked attack on iran and the world a much more dangerous place i cannot imagine

a worse alliance with these three powers people in the west seem to underestimate the strength of the reunion nationalism that there is a strong national sense that. what happened for. the shah was with that installed and maintained by britain and for america people memories of the shah that we presented you know the west of the shah it will be there will be a bloody war if there is an attack on iran and iran is not iraq as of two thousand and one there will be retaliation visible and from our mass and the world is a dangerous place because of these reports. i have much more on our website our teeth or commas take a look at what's there for you right now and interest in the face of the vehicle poisoning of the russian former f.s.b. agent alexander litvinenko a british prosecutor is reportedly ready to name another suspect and seek his extradition to the u.k. also these pictures in from the u.k. the m five in summer seventy on the road watch this horrifying footage from the u.k. dozens of cars collided it killed at least seven injured many others i'm of the country's

worst tar accidents in recent years. early this week with leaks founder julian sands that lost his appeal battle against a tradition from the u.k. to sweden he will now it's once a sex crime allegations i have not been charged with any crime in any country besides maintains his innocence and is planning to appeal again he insists that his case is politically motivated it was the globe websites forced to spin forced to suspend its operations now to raise funds are for financial blockade many believe there's a lot of interest in discrediting the science after his website's publication of secret u.s. . this is a fabricated case to get him out of the u.k. where in the past you know with mckinnon we've shown that we're not just prepared

to deliver someone to the american authorities so we think that the european arrest warrants being used by the swedish authorities who are more friendly towards the americans way of doing things just to get in there. as soon as he plays sets foot on swedish soil this whole case will disappear and he will be arrested under an american extradition no formal charges have been laid the investigators say they're still investigating there's a lot of worry about the quality of the evidence and they don't actually seem to be doing anything like charging him this is the european way of doing things of ship the person off i mean them up in prison and then start trying to put a case together it is just an anathema to the british justice system to russian tycoons are amongst the world's richest men have taken a bitter dispute to the london court where five in our billion dollars are at stake

so thanks businessman claims his former associate and the owner of chelsea football club one of them or that has robbed him of billions point imitating him to selling oil shares on the cheap abramovich denies the allegations and shied away from making any public comment of the case but better results he's been much more candid with some loud and passionate grandstanding in the witness box but also promises to become the most expensive in history with legal costs for each of the men rocketing to millions of dollars. let's take a look at some of the world news no brief making the headlines we're going to iraq first there a triple explosions rocked a local market in baghdad reports suggest eight people were killed over twenty injured but police medics say the number of casualties is set to grow the attack follows a statement by iraq's prime minister urging security forces to clamp down on any threats of violence the last little three thousand u.s. troops in the country are expected to leave early in the year. a suicide bomb blast near a mosque in afghanistan's northern baghlan province has left at least seven dead

and injured more than a dozen others the attacker detonated his vest as worshippers left prayers marking the muslim festival of eden among those killed with two local police commanders know and yet claimed responsibility for officials are pointing the finger at taliban militants it was a journey across the galaxy and back 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 a crew might cold with the grueling affects of long distance space travel artist tom bart was there to see the crew return to butt in a malady 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 a mission to mars and back thankful to be back on a fellow earth two lives it is really really great to see you all again rather

polar warming it's been an honor to have been been part of this remarkable achievement we have five of them are professional fraley our resilient 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 and scientists behind it wanted to see the six men and 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 full version of how of your relationships with the other crew members changed. i was. i was. forced to go back to you know like fight or something close for such

a long time to. think the world. from. the experiment was kept as real as possible with a twenty minute time delay in communications. its way that meant. they could talk freely with. news from the outside world but that was tricky. we had to keep in mind that some information could come in my private correspondence and some relatives could break the news in this case any prolonged silence so now could lead to tension and misunderstanding they could think that we withheld the information deliberately from us the highlights 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 need landfall. straight was one hundred sixty beats per minute compared with the pulse of the first. one orbit it was one hundred beats per minute the outside world has been three hundred people betting on how. one bookmaker put. on one of the crew members going insane because of it. you know. when he went out. so even though it's only a dry run and still a significant. the earth's first notion clears. some . good to see that all back down to earth

safely now had food they saw our interview with russian presidential aide a kind of a coffee cheering his views on how to win the world's financial crisis interesting chap coming up after that too rich has got all the latest sports suchan from the fed cup and a lot more as well it's how the next half hour palms out here on our team for moscow. over.
