very well welcome to all she's a weekly review we start in greece now where talks between the countries and battles prime minister and they had of the main opposition party have ended with an agreement to form a national unity government george but unsure as to step down under the deal on which talks will continue on monday the greek finance minister has said that the main political parties have also agreed on early elections to take place on the nineteenth of february a new interim government just to be sworn in and to go through a confidence vote in parliament within a week and journalists to. because more from the stores. there are three main points i am the first the vote we have the form of they have agreed to form a new coalition government second up on true will not to be deprived means there will not be a believe in this coalition government and third they have to again in order to our

brains their details their most votes to bill frist and to have got to be the leader in these the new government will be mr lookout for the most he's sixty four years old ex vice president the european central bank does not believe he sent his a check mark 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 upon joe will steve be the leader all for his party of bus or party even though he will be if you will not be the leader of the new coalition government but the thing is that to at first he decides is the cold if he decides to call or a friend and then he changes his opinion of these all the situation created confusion and now he's trying to show that he means. what he says because

he'll now we have seen that he says something and then he takes back he this is the tunnel is tearing resolve to at 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 thousands are going to suffer more now seem to be desperate they want to go on the lakes because they think that apart from this coalition government the minister of finance will go to any house should first aid european leaders european officials that reason is ready to get the most current. look because otherwise after fifteenth of december there will be no money to pay the wages to pay the pensions. the greek debt crisis overshadowed 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. she's an isa now it was. the ever changing greek drama took center stage in camphor the g twenty 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 cam returned to athens and canceled an improv referendum that would have more last 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 leaders say it is to agree to will surely 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 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 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 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 when it takes place in moscow russia in two thousand and thirteen reporting from. and he said are to. be police crackdown on the by movement continues throughout the us precious have been taking place for nearly two months now and such as across america base week so they kind of phony a city of oakland witnessing one of the biggest demonstrations offices unleashed gas flash grenades and tons of protestors and made of one hundred arrests several people were seriously injured including a us on a veteran of the second major of on a clash involving police and protesters in the station a fortnight she's in this economy witnessed events. and 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 a hundred of the 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 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 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 these was there are marching behind those sticks and 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 their tear gas for these loud sort of downright that don't actually hurt anyone but definitely here scared that the protesters and journalists on site but police are moving in to break up ok by demonstrators across america

have a restroom made with force in atlanta and washington where heavy handed police action was caught on camera by our team in new york where the movement began in mid september the protesters camping out in zuccotti park determined to stand their ground rosales ortiz are preparing to attend in a fiction that is helping the occupy movement and say 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 fix the deficit problem 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 things that have started 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 twitter stream and our correspondent lisa cabinet is in washington d.c. and true porson protesters who are now marching through the city they're going to her twitter feed for the latest updates from the scene. if. you see. in syria new crown downs an anti regime activists have left over twenty people dead

as tanks rolled into the city of homes it brings to hundred the number of civilians reported dead in clashes with government troops since just tuesday the latest bloodshed comes despite damascus agreeing to sign up to an arab league proposal to understand it's in the country the international body has already warned that radiate 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 to grow i asked amazed at how the three thousand civilians have been killed by syrian security forces in the last eight months and its call on is to come out was snake claims the country's been set up 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 has been friendly to the situation taking the place inside syria actually some of these country has been following what ben's money and

certainly our geology to topple the rich. of president assad the president of syria acknowledged there was opposition in the country and he extended his hand to what it consolidation within the his country for those people who were asking for james and that's why today they have a constitutional reform but there is certain external power or what they say opposition and exiled those are backed by the western powers some version goals. and coming up later in the program historic day for the palestinians. the general conference as does voted to adopt the draft resolution and decided to add me to palestine as member of the unit. but that has brought complications for the heritage body and the palestinian bid for full statehood at the. russian

doing all these illegal things in the case of the to extradite him or i should say kidnapping boot 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 dragged 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 the real four crew members this and all he was trying to do was show to all the cargo planes again 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 ration relentless was you know basically cats for bringing to 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 the 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 citizens or to boot or troy davis to be you know sentenced 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 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 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 tonic or shocked wants to reveal evidence this week suggesting iran made computer models of a new global head 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 are considering possible military action against the country's nuclear facilities on friday the israeli president said that when it comes to iran the international community is closer to finding a military solution and a diplomatic one but experts warn that the west underestimates iran an attack on it would result in a world conflict and he was reading the press reports on these contingency it was

being joined by the minister of defense here in london for an attack on iran was really worrying that if iran is not developing a nuclear missile. 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 dangerous place. i cannot imagine a worse alliance with these three people in the west seem to underestimate the strength of a renewed nationalism that is a strong national a sense under remembrance of what happened and for intervention into the country and how this has been installed and trained by britain for america's people memories of the shah the way it's presented no the west of the shah it will receive there will be a bloody war if there is an attack 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. understand as one membership of you

nice kid this week but the move may cause the u.n. 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 gives out for the u.n. involved in recognizing its statehood later this amount of american israel is trying to be opposed to that with washington vowing to use its veto power how in a political analyst ivan eland says that unesco membership is a politic sign for palestine future. is 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 to me into have been stymied in their efforts to have a state and of course they're trying a new route they're trying. he's for protesting 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 and the one.

there statehood bid is that of course the u.s. can be 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. the high court in london has ruled wiki leaks founder julian assange will be extradited to sweden to face sex assault charges after losing his legal battle to stay in the u.k. he denies that a geisha is by two women but 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 calls for him to be extradited for trial to the u.s. for breaking state secrets and sarge can stay in the u.k.

but the if he appeals the high court decision which could take up to here. this is just the latest in a saga isn't it a kind of scandal maybe an viking saga of the barbarity of which it is being treated appallingly has 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 one of 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 dominic strauss kahn sexting it seems the 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. some other world news who are covering this hour the death toll from thailand's was floating a half a century has risen to other five hundred water levels of bangkok have reached a meter high in places with the subway system a triscuit evacuations have been ordered across the city but many people are opting to stay in a desperate effort to protect their properties and business says this high government has announced that four billion dollars will be spent to help the country recover from the catastrophic rains which have been falling unabated for three months now. in. wrong a triple explosion has rocked a local market in baghdad reports suggest ten people have been killed and over twenty injured but police and medics say the number of casualties will grow but target 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.

returning from a five hundred twenty day epic mockup of a mission to mars and back they're thankful to be back among their fellow earth to others it is really really great to see you all again rather whole they're all going to be an honor to having been part of this remarkable achievement we have five of them are 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 men and 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 the four 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 thing in the world. but never happen we have been a very. very quiet sixty 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 that meant the team was alone they could talk freely with loved ones research has decided to withhold news from the outside world but that was tricky when with 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. one half was protecting 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 one bookmaker put eight to one all day on one of the crew members going insane because of it we're having to. be that somebody. we want to try we have a lot of money to fix the betting that nobody went crazy and nobody went out.

so even though it's only a dry run it's still a significant. to achieve that the earth's first martian pioneers. tending to marty. thanks and us he al cross talk show but fast travel back with the headlines.
