moscow after a five hundred twenty day. welcome it's one am here in moscow you're watching the weekly from r.t. it's all round up of the top stories of the last seven days would make a video into night and first the greek prime minister george papandreou and ahead of the main opposition party and. agreed on a new national unity government but under a new leader talks are set to continue on monday with all parties being invited to join the coalition an interim cabinet is expected to be in power for several months to enact a eurozone bailout package agreed in brussels in october and to secure the vital next eight billion euro tranche needed to pay pensions and public sector salaries and changes come after a week of opposition pressure on the prime minister calling on him to resign political deadlock after he you turned on earlier shot call for

a referendum on the e.u. debt agreed. well the great crisis also dominated discussions at last week's g. twenty meeting in current season this is now a follow the summit the ever changing greek drama took center stage in cannes for the g twenty leaders hero host nicolas sarkozy protecting what he calls the beating heart of europe till the end presuppositions a resolution which is very strong angela merkel and i 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 improper referendum that would have more the last of the public to decide if they stay or if they go when it comes to the euro or perish the thought that they should or should be allowed to decide whether they want these things euro leaders say it is up to

greece to rule should look like this if greece is an independent country and i just want to say they are perfectly free i don't want to give any idea that we are trying to get involved in greek domestic politics because france has given some exactly that idea there is no longer an independent country and has been for a while and a 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 above and beyond. 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 we've already pledged to try to help the euro stay afloat but with the 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 our city. just let you know how to bring you live coverage from athens about ten minutes time but all the latest developments that are also coming up in the program a story day for the palestinians. the general conference as does bulleted dark the draft resolution and decided to add me to palestine as member of the united. complications for the heritage party and the palestinian people stated that

the. us police are turning up the heat on the anti corporate occupier movement which has spread across the country since it began nearly two months ago the worst ferpa violence this week in california offices tear gassed 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 one hundred arrests were made it's the second time the forces cracked down on a rally in the city in the last two weeks lucy careful offers there in the midst of it all reporting for r.t. . there are at least hundred the fact two hundred three hundred police officers in full riot gear several men as you can see advancing behind us right now on the occupy oakland movement now we don't know how many officers are back there we saw a massive group of them sort of a walk down that street before about 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 half of 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 cars there are marching behind us takes their hands baton to hand i don't know if you can get any

closer on that shot but they're certainly coming here in the crowd as you can hear is chanting oakland perhaps you can see over there several police officers with their weapons out of a shooting tear gas for these loud sort of done a raid i don't actually hurt anything but definitely care scared that the protesters and journalists on site. well police moving the break up straight across america to several russia way with force in luxor washington with police have you heard that most was cool. but then you. cool for the movie but god made some time but this company the coffee pot at the time they said stand in the crowd they tell us the source is repairing an addiction movie rights to study martin thinks the police acted to provoke demonstrations. 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 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 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 provocative words if there was probably cation in the group is it undercover police we don't know all we know is that we that mass and mass is the 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. was keep your finger on the pulse of the occupy movement as it continues to spread across america just head towards these twits

a string for the latest update from the scene from spain and think of it. and the rest of us here as well we've got photos and videos from the protests all there waiting for. you to. obliques demanding immediate end bloodshed in syria after a peace deal put in place with damascus probe dozens more anti-government activists reportedly killed in the country is the army continues to suppress the protests despite agreement early this week to stop violence against demonstrators who had five hundred political data detainees were released on saturday but nonetheless the

aware that he was not in touch with real fark members and all he was trying to do was sell to all cargo planes we could appeal to this judge. that the verdict was rendered against the weight of the evidence 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 that magically crimes are in fact if there is action and manufactured evidence relentless you know character could bring into america at any. any means necessary the journalist says goot is one of many victims of u.s. judicial power play. to take the charges that were brought against him that he's innocent so you know i don't i don't want any innocent man. russian citizens who are truly be with you know sentence right for chemical crime and it didn't commit

troops why should the us is a criminal in this case. 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 or turn to russia which 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 who is facing from twenty five years to life behind bars the sentencing will come in february and r.t. new york. palestine was this week of it was a full member to the u.s. cultural heritage of sco or the moves i'm going to u.s. which says it will cut off its funding for the organization it was a major coup for palestine though as it gears up for the un vote recognizing it statehood later this month america and israel are strongly opposed to the pig with washington vying to use its veto but the palestinian presidential advisor says the

u.s. is being hypocritical it comes to its policy in the region. so you kind of get the united states of america celebrating the arab spring going into the square in egypt and shaking the hands of demonstrators seeking democracy while banning palestinians from having to own democracy on their own independence that's. totally unacceptable what's also true this is the fact that the united states of america has in the past threatened the palestinian authority about it will now we hear that foreign secretary secretary clinton is calling upon congress to reconsider this position i certainly hope not the american administration would we would reconsider this issue or for financial for it will not be off and the palestinian and the international intervention to. independence will not be subject. to hold by such threats if anything it has to be total indorsement now lose and

promotion and voice but it's only in voice and i think this voice or to be addressed and addressed carefully. about the top story greece which is at the epicenter of the euro crisis of course to get you national unity government with promise if you are a step down it's the developing news this hour let's get an update on it live from athens the sort of german weenies that could do that thanks for being on the line against going to see again tonight so well not a look at it it's been a very dramatic night for athens ending in agreement we hear now about creating this unity government but more importantly with pm papen very announcing he will not be the one to lead it so that could take over now and how successful do you think the new coalition will be in dealing with the country's crippled economy. everything behind me outside the greek parliament seems to be recount but outside the presence impasse was

a total here when the announcement of the discussions between up until summer last and yes came out. the three points of the three there are three main points i am beside nouns well first of all we have the former they have agreed to form a new coalition government second contrail will not be the prime minister will not be the leader in this coalition government and third they have to meet tighen in order to arrange the details to morrow then we have the meeting again of careless talk with us of the present of great republic with the other leaders of the other parties but the most postable person to have got to be the leader in this a mule government will be mr look ask about the most he is us sixty four years old he is x. vice president in that european central bank is not a politician he is a technocrat but according to the plan is to be the prime minister

and other politicians but also make technocrats to be are around him but for the most is a personality well respected in the whole if you're a zone in the whole european union and he's the person who knows very well how to react in this difficult situation yeah i mean you know you talked about the personalities are really good i was just saying the crucial thing is action will be shouldn't of this new interim government you think be enough to secure this much needed installment of the bailout i mean is that is just the confidence boost that was needed. first of all to morrow is the euro group of analysts many sellers out the fire the minister of finance affairs will be will go to brussels and he has to perswade european leaders and european officials that greece is ready to implement the agreement of twenty six o'clock of through october and get the next tranche of

loans because otherwise after a few people december there will be no money to pay the wages to pay the pensions so they have tonight we have discussions between remembrance of socialist and free members of the conservatives in order to see how themselves is going to present is not about how he's going to show that greece translates europeans greece is ready to implement this agreement russia's taken many will review focus on prime minister purple dress actions over the last week first of all announce those plans let the people decide the fate of the new austerity package then within days you turning on that idea now agreeing to form a coalition government he won't even be part of the city was destroyed the pale when things were getting tough what's the talk on the street about his moves. country will still be the leader of first his party of party even though he will be

he will not be the leader of the new coalition government but the thing is that at first he decides is the cold if he decides to call or a friend and then he changes his opinion in a way he tried he perswaded and can summarize the conservatives to agree with the us their images with the agreement of twenty sixth of october but this all of this us situation created confusion and now he's trying to show that he means what he says because here now we have seen that he says something and then he takes package this is now a couple of hours ago he had said that mr samaras and everybody has to believe me because i'm prime minister of course i will will you. when they call you some government is formed as always politics plays out of course you and your fellow countrymen there in greece have faced so much of the rest in the last couple of months a big question is no i think it's going to get any better with the new government

they're still going to have to implement those huge and painful cuts. nobody knows but analysts hearing results of the announcement say say that more austerity measures are expected because nobody will give us money because the government is going to change this means that greece the greek us citizens are going to suffer more now seem to be desperate they want to go on election because they think that part from this coalition government on february or even march we're going to my election for a new government but of course we have to pay for the debts and to ask us longer the government has decided has agreed to a cut they have to do full moon to put into practice the reasons they have decided but apart from this week which may come and say that maybe the european union

should have reacted earlier because in the past we have heard even mr barroso into other of the selfsame talking about silly darity and cooperation in the european union and now we have our own lives this did lie and greece suffers even easily suffers which is a bigger economy and probably will create not probably not for sure it procreates more problems than home if you will so that's something we're reporting on as well but for now focusing on greece very much with your help journalist through it is our computer thanks ever so much for painting a picture from athens for us from our. next it was a journey across the galaxy back again without ever leaving planet earth it was a simulated round trip to mars has been completed off for seventeen months long test to see how a crew might cope with the grueling effects of long distance space travel. to see the crew return to normality in moscow after over five hundred days in isolation. back on earth i was well actually they never left but pale faced.

these six men are returning from a five hundred twenty day epic mockup of the 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 five of them are professional fraley ara sealion 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 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 before the left how of your relationships with the other crew members changed. i want. to go work. for something. you know like five or something close for such a long time to work. in 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 loved ones who researches decided to move home from the outside world that was tricky. we had to keep in mind that some information could come in with private correspondence and some relatives could write 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. 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 real it became for them when they made martian wonderful. their pulse rate was one hundred sixty beats per minute compare with the pulse of the first. one orbit it was one hundred fifty k. beats per minute the outside world has been in three. hundred fifty thousand betting on how the experiment failed. make a put eight to one all done one of the crew members going insane because of it.

when he went out. so even though it's only a dry run it's still a significant. achievement first motion. tendency . after so i was wondering when they went in about eighteen months ago they get all the reporting on it glad to see what ok it's twenty seven and a bit minutes past one o'clock here in moscow you watching see the national thanks for being with us about the recap of the top stories and weekly review of the stories the past seven days and just a few words. from

los angeles to chicago to birmingham twenty trauma centers have closed since two thousand severe problem is not enough inpatient beds not on the third emergency department beds and not enough nurses from nando's that's to take care of all the people who are here the only real health care system that we have in the city of los angeles is the los angeles fire department in fact when i started my venture is a firefighter i didn't want to hear mass and i started out going to just do fire fighting it's about eighty two percent of what we do the fire the problem is medical ok to rescue couple we still waited for hours for a bit i've waited sometimes three hours but i was it's

a safe francis and we went for four hours and fifty minutes getting us to well the patients and we have a federal law that mandates that you can't turn no one. away who seeks care and emergency room. we have the most expensive health care system in the world and it's probably valued the least least. the low for. the. world. if. he has. to be.
