watching the weekly from r t it's all round up of the top stories of the last seven days which make a video into night and first the greek prime minister george papandreou in the head of the main opposition party until a similar a survey 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 and interim cabinets 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 the changes come after a week of opposition pressure on the prime minister calling on him to resign to end political deadlock after he you turned on earlier shot call for a referendum on the e.u. debt agreement well the greek crisis also dominated discussions at last week's g. twenty meeting in cairo the nyssa now a followed 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 until the end of his relations 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 can return to athens and cancelled an improv referendum that would have more last allow 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 to or should look like this if 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 but it is no longer an independent country and has been for

a while and 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 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 in our our city. just like you know too old 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. to adopt a draft resolution and to add meat palestine as member if you know. complications for the heritage body out of the palestinian bid for full statehood at the u.n. . u.s. police are turning up the heat on the corporate occupy movement which has spread across the country since began every two months ago the worst ferpa violence this week in california offices teargassed 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 in a rally in the city in the last two weeks lucy was there in the midst of it all reporting for us. there are at least hundreds if 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 a walk down that street before that was the street of the standoff were 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 front lines we have been standing here we have seen tear gas fired several protesters injured from the tear gas and fact you 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 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 from these was there are marching behind this sticks that 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 here gas for these loud sort of us down raids that don't actually hurt anyone but definitely here scared that the protesters and journalists on site. will

play so moving to break up occupy demonstrators across america to several restful made with force in atlanta washington with police heavy handedness was caught on camera by. the new york with a move a gun and made some tests this company that until now they say the stand in the crowd they tell us a source is repairing to attend an addiction to stab you mustn't think the police tend to provoke them straight says. 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 provocation in the group is it undercover police we don't know all we know is the. we mass masses 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 to paint the whole movement as violent when it seems like there's just a few anarchists causing trouble. to keep your finger on the pulse of the occupy movement as it continues to spread across america just head to our twits a string for the latest updates from lucy confirm she's been there in thick of it over throughout and the rest of us as well we've got photos and videos from the protests already flown. into.

a regional power they wanted to change the regime of bashar assad they wanted at different regime different government with different had and that's why there you can see that regional power hasn't been friendly to the situation. it's taking a place in syria actually some of these country has been funneling weapons and money and started an 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 let it come fully ation 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 what they say in opposition and exile those are backed by the western powers. of the russian business with the faces a life sentence of the new york jury found him guilty of agreeing to sell arms to

should say kidnapping boots 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 but 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 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 sell two old cargo planes we can 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 it was brought to the

u.s. experts like george map who has attended every hearing say a successful appeal is unlikely leaders of magic crimes manufactured jurisdiction and manufactured evidence relentless 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 that i feel the victor in this and in 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 citizen victor boot or troy davis to be you know sentence to life or convicted of a crime that they didn't commit victor boots why should the us is the criminal in this case that the actions currently carried out by the u.s. special services are an organized provocation organized crime towards the russian side a sense 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 returned to russia secure but has always maintained his innocence and will keep fighting for justice but with u.s. muscles flexed 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 admitted as a full member to the un's cultural heritage i mean the scope of the moves angered the u.s. which says it will cut off its funding for the organization it was a major coup for palestine though as a gears up for the un vote on you recognizing it statehood later this month and my record is rather strongly opposed to the big with washington value to use its veto but the palestinian presidential advisor says that the u.s. is being hypocritical when it comes to its policy in the region. the united states of america are celebrating the arab spring going into the square in the hands of demonstrators seeking democracy while banning palestinians from having their own

democracy on their own independence that's. what's also true this is the united states of america has in the past. not on the palestinian authority. now we have got foreign secretaries. is calling upon congress to reconsider this position i certainly hope that the american administration would reconsider this issue or for financial will not be off and the palestinian national intention to consolidate palestinian independence will not be subject. to hold by. anything that has to be total indorsement now is an promotion and voice but a voice and i think this voice ought to be addressed and addressed carefully. about her top story greece which is at the epicenter of the euro crisis of course to get the new national unity government with promise of. developing news there so let's

get an update on it live from athens the talk to journalists and when is that could do thanks for being on the line against good to see you again tonight so well you know what i look at it's been a very dramatic night for athens and 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 good who 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 very calm but outside the president's impalas it was a total here when the announcement of the discussions between up until summer us and couple yes came out the three point three there are three main points i am beside nouns well first of all we have the form and they have agreed to form a new coalition government second up until will not be their prime minister will

not be the leader in this coalition government and third they have to make i guess in order to arrange their details to morrow out there we have the meeting again of . yes of the present of public that the i. other leaders so far the other parties but the most possible person to have to be the leader in this new government will be mr look ask about the most he's sixty four years old he is the x. vice president in that european central bank is not a politician he is a technocrat but according to the plan is about the most to be the prime minister and our politicians make technocrats to be our own team but the most is a personality well respected in the whole eurozone in the whole european union and he is the person who knows very well how to react in this difficult situation yeah

i mean you know you talked about the personalities that are really the crucial thing is action will the actions of this new interim government do 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 of the fire the minister of finance affairs will be will go to brussels aimed he has to perswade european leaders european officials that greece is ready to implement the agreement of twenty six evoke of through october and get the next a transfer of a loan because otherwise their feet in the december there will be no money to pay the wages to pay the pensions so they have tonight that we have discussions between three members of the socialist and three members of the conservatives in order to

see how open selous is going to present is not about how he's going to show that greece to persuade the europeans that greece is ready to implement this agreement let's just take your money down the river focus on prime minister pump and drove the 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 no agreeing to form a coalition government he won't even be part of he was just trying to bail when things were getting tough what's what's the talk on the street about his moves. up on joe will steve be the leader of 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 coal that he decides to call or a friend and then he changes his opinion in a way he tried he perswaded anton summarize the letter for conservatives to agree with the austerity measures with the agreement of twenty six of us don't bear this

all 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 some things and then he takes back he decisions 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 love will love you we went to college some government is formed as all this 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 the big question is no thing is going to get any better with a new government at the helm and they're still going to have to implement those huge and painful cuts. nobody knows but analysts here in greece after the announcement say is 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 the election because they think that apart from this coalition government on february or even march we're going to have a lecture in for a new government but of course we have to pay for the debts and to ask us longer saw the government has decided has agreed with the troika they have to move on to full moon and to put into practice the measures they have decided but the first from this week would make it come in and say that maybe the european union should have reacted earlier because in the past we have heard even mr barroso into other official saying talking about slowly diary t. and cooperation in the european union and now we have our ride out this deadline and greece suffers even italy suffers which is a bigger economy and probably will create not probably ok for sure it will create

some more poor problems at the moment if you will so that's something we're reporting on as well but for now focusing on greece very much with your help journalists could do nothing is ever so much a part of the picture live from athens for us tomorrow. next it was a journey across the galaxy and back again without ever leaving planet earth it was a simulated round trip to mars has been completed after seventeen month long test to see how a crew might cope with the grueling affects of long distance space travel these time boat was there to see the crew return to normality of moscow of frova 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 there thankful to be back among us fellow earth to others it is really really great to see you all again rather holler warming it's

been an honor to having been part of this remarkable achievement five of the master professional fraley area syrian 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 man 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 they left 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 quarter for such a long time it would be you know it must not most being in the world. but never happened we have been a very. very cohesive team from the beginning. of the experiment was kept as real as possible with a twenty minute time delay in communications will miss the ship was on its way meant the team was alone they could talk freely with loved ones that researches decided to move home news from the outside world but that was tricky. 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 on our part could lead to tensions and misunderstanding they could think that we withheld the information deliberately that's what must 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. 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 or not yuri gagarin orbit it was one hundred fifty two beats per minute the outside world to has been intrigued by minus five hundred mostly through betting on how and when the experiment would fail. make a put eight to one all day on one of the crew members going insane because of it we're having. where we're happy that somebody. want to try we have a lot of money to fix the bad thing that nobody went crazy and nobody went out. so even though it's only a dry run it's still a significant. achievement the earth's fixed motion.

after so i was wondering when they went in about eighteen months ago they get all the reporting on that glad to see you know what ok it's twenty seven and a bit minutes past one o'clock here in moscow you're watching international thanks being with us about the break up of our top stories 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 enough urgency department beds and not enough nurses to man those deaths to take care of all the people who are 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 be a mask i started out going to just do fire fighting it's about eighty two percent of what we do the fire department is medical i've had a rescue couple weeks ago waited for hours for a bit i've waited sometimes three hours but i was it's a same francis in lynnwood for four hours and fifty minutes standing against a wall of 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 in value in the least. he.
