hello and welcome to our seas weekly review. and we start in greece where talks between the countries in battles prime minister and the head of the main opposition party have ended it with an agreement to form a national unity government george robin dros to step down under the deal in which talks will continue on monday a new government has to be sworn in and go through a confidence vote in parliament within a week and journalist every knee is a good deal or has more from athens. three there are three main points i am beside now and then the first of all we have the former they have agreed to form a new coalition government second up on trail will not to be the prime minister will not be of the leader in this coalition government and third they have to again in order to arrange the details but the most postable person to have to be the leader in this new government will be mr look asked by the most he is us sixty four years old he is the x.

vice president in the european central bank is not a politician he is a technocrat according to the plan is to be the prime minister and other politicians about neck technocrats to be our own team but the most is a personality well respected in the whole eurozone in the whole european union and his the person who knows very well how to react in this difficult situation the country will steve be the leader of his party of bus or 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 quote that he decides to call or a friend and then he changes his opinion in a way he tried he perswaded on summarize the letter from sarah but they have to agree with the austerity measures with the agreement of twenty sixth of october about this all this us attrition created confusion tunnel is tearing resolve to of

the announcement 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 february or even march we're going to have an election for a new government but of course we have to pay for the debts and longer the government has decided has agreed with the troika they have to to follow and to put into practice the measures they have decided the greek debt crisis of a shadow there drunk this week's g. twenty summit in the french result of can but the leaders of the world's major economies deferred until next year decision on providing money to help save the crisis ravaged here as a nice and last. the ever changing greek drama took center stage in

camphor the g twenty leaders hero host nicolas sarkozy protecting what he calls the beating heart of europe till the end because some petitions resolution 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 canceled 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 to will surely 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 in the greek domestic

politics. but france has given some exactly that idea 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 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 when it takes place in moscow russia in two thousand and thirteen reporting from. and he's an artist. the police crackdown on the on to corporate ok private movement continues throughout the u.s. protests have been taking place for native two months now in cities across america they squeak so with a kind of phony and city of oakland witnessing one of the biggest demonstrations opus's unleashed gas a flood of grenades and bottles on protesters and made over one hundred arrests several people were seriously injured including a u.s. on the veteran as the second major vonda clash involving police and protesters in the city in a fortnight. witnessed events first hand. and we're still reporting from the.

as you can hear behind me loud explosions possibly tear gas from the police officers there are at least a hundred of the not 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 that 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 we have to remember that 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 again 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 in these cars there are marching behind as sticks and hands baton to 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 their tear gas are these loud sort of down when it's the gun actually for anyone but definitely here scared that the protesters and journalists on site stop police and moving in to break up ok if i didn't stray showers across america and several arrests were made with force in atlanta and

washington with heavy handed and the sanction was caught on camera bayati in new york where the movement began to move to turn the protesters camping out in zuccotti park they are determined to turn the ground so are two separate paths to time to have a show i'm sort of helping the occupy movement and are saying it's already won by raising awareness across america oh. for the first time in decades people are thinking about the degree to which corporations have power in this country and their greed which to the way in which corporations that have power have been taking power away from regular american citizens it's been a phenomenal success because over the last few weeks we've been talking about the degree to which you know income inequality is a problem in this country rather than absurd talk about how we're going to be cutting social security and cutting medicare benefits in order to to to fix the deficit problem that we've shifted this movement has been successful because it's changed the conversation and today it's successful because people are going to sites like banks that is start or moving their money. and to keep your finger on

the pulse of the occupy movement as it continues its rapid spread across america i just had to ask his twitter stream and our correspondent that he's a company of his in washington d.c. and she reports on protesters who are now marching to say she fell down to her twitter feed for the latest updates from. you to. the. in c. re new crackdowns on anti regime activists have left about twenty people dead as tanks rolled into the city of homes and brings to hundred the number of civilians reported dead in clashes with government troops since just tuesday the latest

pressure comes despite damascus agreeing to sign up to an arab league proposal to end violence in the country an international body has already warned that failure to implement the plan will have disastrous consequences for the whole region more than five hundred political detainees were released on saturday but the violence still continues the u.n. estimates that over three thousand civilians have been killed by syrian security forces in the last eight months political analyst coming out was in a claims the country's been setup for regime change by western powers. i think it's a conspiracy by a regional power they wanted to change the regime of bashar assad they wanted a different regime different government was different and that's why there you can see the regional power hasn't been friendly to the situation it's taking the place inside syria actually some of this country has been following what ben's money and certainly our geology. topple the regime of president assad the president of

syria acknowledges there is opposition in the country and he extend his hand to reconciliation 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 and some persian gulf country. they're watching our fans coming up in the program historic day for the palestinian. general conference has does vote to adopt the draft resolution and the side the two had meet palestine as member of the united states. but there's a vote complications for the heritage body and the palestinian bid for the full statehood at the. russian businessman because the boot is facing a life sentence in the u.s. attorney in new york the jury found him guilty of agreeing to sell arms to

terrorists and conspiring to kill americans because decision has not strong opposition from moscow which says it will do all it takes to return him home or he's an assistant you're going to reports now from new york. years spent by the u.s. to hunt down one russian man tens of millions of dollars of taxpayer cash poor it into a sting operation snatched up from a third country for months 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 officers and employees three conspiring to use an 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 one of our own for every twelve people. no record. and only on the other eleven.

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 drag those people on to 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 to 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 boot 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 at any by. any means necessary the journalist says boot is one of many victims of u.s. judicial power play that 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 it be russian citizen for it to boot or troy davis to be you know sentence to life or convicted of a crime and it didn't commit victor boots wife says the u.s. is the 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 he doesn't even have to be specific action moscow has vowed to continue to push for boots return to russia victor boot has always

that if iran is not to develop a nuclear missile it will be developed and you could be so free so the idea that the americans the british news really are looking towards an unprovoked attack on iran and the world a much more deep. i cannot imagine a worse alliance these three people in the west seem to underestimate the strength of nationalism is a strong national a sense. of what happened under foreign intervention in the country and. with that installed and maintained by britain america's long memories of the way it's presented you know the west if. there will be a bloody war if there is an attack on iran iran is not iraq as of two thousand and one there will be retaliation from hamas and the world is a dangerous place because of these reports. palestine has won membership of you know scare this week but the move may cause the u.n.

heritage body a fifth of its funding with the us counting off its cash contribution to response it's seen as a major coup for palestine as it gives out for the u.n. vote and recognizing its statehood later this month americans are strongly opposed to the bit where the washington to use its veto power however political analyst ivan even says that unesco membership is a positive sign for palestine future. the symbolic 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 timmins have been stymied in their efforts to have a state and of course they're trying a new route they're trying. he's 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. statehood bid is that of course the u.s.

can veto in the security council that the latter one whereas this vote there is 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. earlier this week we could leaks founder julian assange lost his appeal bias against extradition from the u.k. to sweden who are now have to answer sex crime allegations i have not been charged with any crime in any country. maintains his innocence and is planning to appeal again in theory is 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 analysts say there is a lot of interest in discrediting a sonnet after his website publication of stick with us filed. 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 or iraq the latest one libya is the importance of whistle blows being able to actually expose criminal behavior as solid 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 dominick's trust com sexting who seems to really any real basis for this as we heard there's not even been charges over in sweden and so yes it's a spear yes attempt to shut down what is one of the most important media outlets in the world right now. and some other world news we're covering for you this hour

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 the for it scientists observed with amazement just how little it became for them when they made martian landfall. nationalists but i think both their pulse rate was one hundred sixty beats per minute now compared with the pulse of the first constant 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 one bookmaker put eight to warm on one of the crew members going insane because of it we're having no doubt. that somebody.
