an. in greece prime minister george papandreou on the opposition leader have agreed on forming an interim unity government under a new leader meeting the end of the political road with the premier now become treasonous minister has also announced that any presidential elections will take place on the nineteenth of. disproportional show false u.s. police crackdown on the peaceful by protesters to try to tame the movement that has gripped the country for nearly two months. also mostly questions going to galatea over the verdict in the new york trial of russian vick to boot for using a live in trailer to being found guilty of attempting to supply weapons to terrorists and conspiring to kill american. and foster closer to mars as

a simulated manned mission to the red planet is successfully completed showing that big human body can endure the isolation of a five hundred twenty day flight. currents are very warm welcome to all these weekly review we start in greece now we're told between the country's embattled prime minister and the head of the main opposition party have ended up with an agreement to form a national unity government george but i'm sure as to step down under the deal i wish talks will continue on monday the greek finance minister has said that the main political parties have also agreed in early elections to take place on the nineteenth of february and you interim government is to be sworn in on the go through a confidence vote in parliament within a week and journalist a rainy duda has more from our listeners. there are three main points i am

the first of all we have the form of the reeds to form a new coalition government second pop on silk will not be the bride. means there will not be a deleter in this coalition government and third they have to meet again in order to arrange the details the most kosovo person to come but to be delivering this new government will be mr lookout for the money he's us sixty four years old his ex vice president in the european central bank is not a politician is a technocrat but the most is a personality 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 the country will still 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 code that he decides to call or a friend and then he changes his opinion piece all this us situation pretty confusion and now he's trying to show that he means what he says because till now we have seen that he says something and then he takes back he decisions to analysts here in greece after 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 the prisons are going to suffer more now seem to be desperate they want to go on the lake still because they think that apart from this coalition government the ministry of finance suppressed will go to god just anything house should first aid european leaders and european officials that really is ready to

get the next round of love because out of five after fifteenth of december there will be no money to pay their wages to pay the pensions. the greek debt crisis overshadowed the edge and 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 what is a nice an hour or so. the ever changing greek drama took center stage in cannes for the g twenty we hear all host nicolas sarkozy protecting what he calls the beating heart of europe till the end circulations a 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 cam return to athens and canceled an improv referendum that

would have more of last i'll give you decide if they stay or if they go when it comes to the euro perish the thought that they should actually be allowed to decide whether they want. euro leaders say it is to agree to or should look like this it could be 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 increase domestic politics. but france has given some exactly that idea greece 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 serco 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. and he's an hour or two. we please calm down on the corporate ok my movement continues throughout the us precious have been taking place for nearly two months now in cities across america base weeks old the kind of phony

a city of oakland witnessing one of the biggest demonstrations offices unleashed to cast flash grenades and potholes of protesters and made over one hundred arrests several people were seriously injured including a us on the track is the second major of on a clash involving police and protesters in the city unfortunately oh she's in this account with mr bryant. who we're still reporting from the so vocal and as you can hear behind me loud explosions possibly tear gas from the police officers there are at least hundreds at the back two hundred three hundred police officers and over 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 walk down that street before that was the street of the standoff were several protesters have 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 front lines 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 he was there are marching behind those sticks and hands baton and 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 tear gas for these loud sort of kind of raids that don't actually hurt anyone but here scared that the protesters and journalists on site but police are moving in to break up ok part of australia is across america have a rest and made with holes in the front and washington where have a hundred police national school for county by r.t.e. in new york where the movement began in mid september protesters camping out in zuccotti park project turned into stone as their grounds rosales ortiz are preparing to attend and fiction is helping the occupy movement along say it's already won by raising awareness across america. for the first time in decades people are thinking about the degree to which corporations have power in this country and their greed which that is 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 including medicare benefits in order to fix the deficit problem we did this movement has been successful because it's changed the conversation and today it's successful because people are going to cite sleeping sinistar or moving their money. and to keep your finger on the pulse of the occupy movement as it continues its rapid spread across america just head to our taste which is training and our correspondent lisa governesses in washington d.c. and through pools and protesters who are now marching through the city they're going to her twitter feed for the latest updates from the scene. it's.

in. in syria new ground down until regime after rates have dropped over twenty people dead as tanks rolled into the city of holmes it brings to hundred been a number of civilians reported dead in clashes with government troops and stressed tuesday the latest bloodshed comes just by damascus agreeing to sign up to an arab league proposal to understand what's in the country the international body has already warned that really it implements the plan will have disastrous consequences for the whole region more than five hundred which go to taser released on saturday but the violence still continues to grow our estimate at over three thousand civilians have been killed by syrian security forces in the last eight months and her risk about wasn't a claims the country's been set up for regime change by western powers. i think it's a conspiracy by regional power they wanted to change the regime of bashar assad they

want a different regime different government was different and that's why you can see the regional power hasn't been friendly to the situation taking place inside syria actually some of this country has been funneling what pens and money and started. to topple the regime of president assad the president of syria acknowledges there is opposition in the country and he extend his hand to the consolidation 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 opposition and exile those are backed by the western powers some persian gulf countries. here with c.n.n. coming up later in the program historic day for the palestinian. the general

conference as does. to add up the draft resolution and decided to add me to palestine as member of. the last broad complications for the heritage forty and the palestinian bid for full statehood i think it was. russian businessman because if it is facing a life sentence in the us actually new york found him guilty of agreeing to sell arms to terrorists and conspiring to kill americans because this issue has not strong opposition from moscow which says it will do all it takes to return home. reports from. here is spent by the u.s. to hike down one russian man tens of millions of dollars of taxpayer cash poured 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 original. records. and only on the other eleven. booed lost his case in the court of u.s. public opinion long before his trial caped off raising concerns of the fairness of his trial this is the lord of war. the merchant of death. and you've got him in your hands where he's in custody it's a great feeling u.s. officials were relentless in their efforts to get behind bars the so-called merchant of death is now a federal inmate american agents posing as park members a colombian group doing terrorist in the u.s.

but not by name any other countries and the un met with and then arrested in thailand in two thousand and eight after twice being found not guilty by thai courts the west reportedly plea dirty by arm twisting thailand into extraditing him to america they're willing to flawed every international law to get what they want and that means doing all these illegal things in the case of the extradite him or should kidnap and boot family also called us 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 or why is it bad other countries don't just think of themselves that there is someone who has some interesting information and why don't those government just drag those people out of 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 defense says the russian was aware that he was not in touch with real fark members this is an all he was trying to do it was to cargo planes again we can 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 we use of magic crimes manufactured jurisdiction and manufactured evidence right with you know basically i think bringing to america . right. means necessary the journalist says boot is one of many victims of u.s. judicial power play if you will that victor in this particular charges that were brought against him that he is innocent so you know i don't i don't want any innocent man with russian citizens who are trying to be you know sentence right

or cry and even commit why should the u.s. is the criminal in this case that the actions currently carried out by the u.s. special services are an organized probation organized crime towards a russian citizen or any other citizen of the world when they just have deemed him allegedly dangerous he doesn't even have to be specific action moscow has vowed to continue to push for votes return to russia has always maintained his innocence and will keep fighting for justice but with us muscles flexed 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. new york. the u.n. the topic or shocked wants to reveal evidence this week suggesting iran made computer models of a nuclear warhead and says it will show satellite images to prove it but tehran has dismissed the claim saying they are fabricated it's from just press speculation that the u.s. u.k. and israel i think are in possible military action against the country's nuclear

facilities on friday the israeli president said that when afghanistan iran the international community is closer to finding and military solution and a diplomatic one but experts warn that the west underestimates iran and its what results in a world conflict and he was reading the press reports on these contingency it was being dropped by the minister of defense who wanted for time was worrying that if iran is not developing a nuclear missile. you could be so free so the idea that the americans the british and these really are looking towards an unprovoked attack on. the world a much more dangerous place. i cannot imagine a worse alliance these three people in the west seem to underestimate the strength of a reunion nationalism is a strong national sense of. what happened under intervention into the country and how the shah was installed and maintained by britain and from america. memories of

the shah and the way it's presented no the west if the shah was with the regime there will be a war if there is an attack iran and iran is not iraq as of two thousand and one will be retaliation from our mass and the world is a more dangerous place because of these reports. i understand as one membership of us could this week but the movement calls the un heritage body a fifth of its funding with the us counting up its cash contribution in response it's seen as a major coup for palestine as it is up with e.u. involved in recognizing its statehood later this month american israel is trying to be opposed to this with washington vowing to use its veto power however political analyst ivan eland said that when i ask the membership is a positive sign for palestine future. is symbolic idea that the all these nations wanted to let palestine in or 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 stay and of course they're trying a new route they're trying. he's for protests the know 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 and the one. of their statehood bid is that of course the u.s. can be in the security council that the latter one whereas this boat there's no veto and it was voted overwhelmingly the people went against what the u.s. and israel wanted and voted in the palestine as a member of the high court in london has ruled wiki leaks founder julian assange will be extradited to sweden to pay sex assault charges after losing his legal battle to stay in the u.k. he denies that occasions by two women about fears that being sent to sweden could bring him a step nearer to prosecution in the u.s.

over a massive leak of classified files. i have not been charged with any crime in any country. hundreds of thousands of american government military and diplomatic cables were released by wiki leaks this here leading to cause for him to be extradited for trial to the us for breaking the state secret can stay in the u.k. if he appeals the high court decision which could take up to. this is just the latest in a saga isn't it a call of scandinavian viking saga of the barbarity which is being treated is appalling it's been eighteen months 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 whistleblowers 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 traffic on sexting it seems the really isn't any real basis for this to be heard and 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. some other world news here we're covering this hour the death toll from thailand's was flooding half a century has risen to over five hundred water levels of bangkok have reached a meter high places would be some way systema triscuit in occupations have been ordered across the city but many people are opting to stay in a desperate effort to protect their properties and business says the thai government has an hours that four billion dollars will dispense to help the country recover from the catastrophic rains which have been falling unabated for three months now. in. iraq a triple explosion has rocked

a local market in baghdad reports suggest ten people have been killed and over twenty injuries but police and medics say the number of casualties will grow the time follows a statement 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 are expected to leave the rug by the end of the. age more deaths have been confirmed after a landslide in northwestern colombia bringing the number of bits and supply into two in one incident four were buried alive they slept rescue workers are continuing to search for survivors but dozens of people still unaccounted for many buildings have been destroyed or badly damaged during what's been one of colombia's wasn't rainy seasons and gazed. simulated trip to mars involving a crew of six being cooped up for one hundred twenty days has been successfully completed along its deficit experiment the mass one hundred project undertaken at a moscow space institute also examined how the human mind and body would cope on

the laundry ration space flight actually is done bought and loved them as they stepped out into daylight for the first time in a year and a half after their virtual voyage. back on earth 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 a mission to mars and back thankful to be back on earth the earth glows it is really really great to see you all again rather polar warming it's been an honor to having been part of this remarkable achievement we are five of the more stark 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 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 full the left how of your relationships with the other crew members changed. or something like that how could you know like. for such a. thing. we have. the experiment was kept as real as possible with a twenty minute time delay in communications almost the ship was on its way that meant it was a load they could talk freely with local ones 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 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 held the information deliberately from us the highlights of the cruise trip with a simulated landing on mars with a long isolation and boredom before it scientists observed with amazement just how real it became for the on in the martian land for. their pulse rate was one hundred sixty beats per minute compared with the pulse of the first eureka garant orbit it was one hundred fifty two beats per minute the outside world has been intrigued by five hundred mostly through betting on how the experiment 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 only a dry run it's still a significant achievement the first martian pioneers. sending some arty. alpha ice and as he calls talk show but first have a back with the headlines.

the close up team has been to the region where technological breakthroughs save human lives. now archie goes to the see. the usual ways to test a new church. where farming pioneers place local cuisine ta escape she. and her future developments depend on the way. russia's black sea coast should close up on our sea.
