the fact and fiction of russia's rallies election marches take a twist in foreign news coverage fox news wrongly using footage of the greek riots . future security at stake as russia and nato tackled bottle sticking points like european missile defense and the prevention of libya style military interventions. currency crunch time for the euro leaders rolled up their sleeves and prepared to slug it out to solve the debt crisis once and for the bitter pill may be too hard for some to swallow. and in business after moving sideways on wednesday the russian markets are posting thinking if it can gains

let's now move market analysis in about twenty minutes. well news and much more this is r t welcome to the program. news bulletins around the world have been following russia's election rallies one channel stands out america's fox news has been showing streets ablaze of violent clashes and firebombs turned its security offices but with one major problem the images are not from russia they're from greece. has been watching. america has its fair share of protests and political dissent dealing with instead of keeping an eye on the ball the country's mass media machine has turned to protests in russia and dropped the ball on reporting the facts. the protesters have gathered to moscow's

lashing out against prime minister vladimir putin and his real united russia party the only problem is that this video is not from russia fox news channel aired a video of fires and chaos in athens convincing viewers that this mayhem is playing out in moscow the fair and balanced network paid no mind to the greek lettering in the background in case you're wondering it says greek national bank what matters is that this is what moscow protests have looked like it's not surprising whatsoever that at the moment that there would be any kind of protest no matter how small it be in russia against the russian government that it would be greatly exaggerated in media and used by the u.s. government as well as a way to try to somehow push for a change in russia that would be more favorable to u.s. interests journalist and author eva golinger believes mass media is washington's most valuable weapon in encouraging revolt elsewhere under the mantle of spreading

democracy such as the so-called orange revolution in ukraine. will lose revolution in two or three. at the time those media reports are not for the country themselves they're for the international community so that somehow internationally a perception is created that something is happening in the country that's not right and that the government is somehow responsible and so therefore if that government ends up being removed it somehow is justified that you know the media has played a key role in creating a justification for regime change similar anti-government demonstrators have been reported in other city in russia u.s. . leaders have leveled harsh criticism against russia in the aftermath of sunday's parliamentary election and critics say its free press has worked to reinforce the narrative the media tends to march in lockstep with the government tends to take its cues from the government it tends to you know mobilize its resources to

showcase what the government says is true even when later it turns out not to be true as was the case in this erroneous c.n.n. report well in eastern russia more than three thousand people protested against proposed changes to the country's time zones the video shown by c.n.n. is not of protesters but rather of soccer fans writing in moscow over the killing of a fellow supporter the problem is that we showed the wrong pictures only after the error was repeatedly noticed c.n.n. owned up to its mistake and to apologize to the era and a great many russian viewers who've pointed out the sloppiness of it or is reflecting you know the lack of awareness of the journalists themselves many of them are completely uninformed about the world they have opinions that have no factual basis to him but it doesn't stop them because it's what looks good that matters more than what really is true the truth is that america has its own social

economic and political challenges to be dealing with and while washington works on getting its own house in order powerful mass media outlets can work on getting their facts straight marina point nine or r.t. new york. now that's a reveal what's really been happening in the past twenty four hours where both pro and anti-government activists have been marching in key cities in the wake of the parliamentary elections supporters of the majority united russia party gathered to show their loyalty an afternoon rally in central moscow. later in the day the opposition held its own rally demonstrations in the capital and petersburg appeared to have attracted a few protesters and in previous days riot police were on standby dozens of people detained during unsanctioned in tests the opposition alleges voting fraud in this promising more rallies president has ordered all reports of election violations to be investigated. while the russian rallies go viral across us mainstream media

it means americans aren't getting the full story of what's happening on the home front with r.t. for a first hand reports of more than one hundred peaceful protesters arrested washington in san francisco we have the latest for. russia's foreign minister is in belgium for the kremlin's latest push for security guarantees from nato for more of what's at stake here is a test of our city. russian and nato officials are meeting at a summit here in brussels the first of all they will be reviewing the progress of operations in afghanistan nato secretary general anders fogh rasmussen has reiterated the importance of the partnership between russia and nato especially when it comes to stemming the flow of narcotics from afghanistan and other issues will be discussing is that of kossovo currently there are about five thousand five hundred peacekeeping troops over there and there have been plans to number in half by next year with those five hundred put on hold in light of the current situation

very last few months we've seen clashes between calls with police some local serbs and so they will be assessing the situation in kosovo as well as about a seven one of the main points and sticking points of fact between russia and nato on the table is that of the missile defense system now this has been going on for some time now both sides staged for him on their ground maintaining their position as nato reiterating that any plans to deploy any of these defense systems will not be directed against russia nor will it undermine russian capabilities or whatever russia has not been satisfied with this in the past russia had proposed our joint russia nato defense system that had been refused view of that russia had been asking for a legally binding guarantees especially just having those words of assurances on paper to satisfy moscow ever that has not been done and in response russia had put in place some military measures that moscow also said that it may be forced to deploy some a mortar to weapon systems if its concerns are not taken seriously both by nato and its allies namely the united states now be

a permanent. representative to nato of russia. had said that the talks at the summit will be quote rather serious and it's fair to say that we can expect just that. but with the absence of. the response to nato. is not against the u.s. that was. since and seal deals with the intimate space as evidence of meeting the system as the white house wants many by twenty twenty some observers think the deployment of the seals pushing towards a new arms race. in the system won't provide any measure of protection against weapons in iran or north korea that they don't exist yet they might in the future but if they do it will be able to defeat this system it's raising questions about what the u.s. long term intentions are and where we're really hadn't given sure and i think it's

a very good thing that russia is digging a harder line unless now i wish it would have done it sooner but better late endemol a year. because we certainly if the united states continues to go down the road was headed for trouble the real reasons that russia are concerned about this you have to do with the implications for a space down with the implications for a future arms race that russia does not want to get into. well there are plenty online for you to explore from past present and future including sealing the deal to on rival e.u. thirty years ago today the agreements were signed divinely dissolved the soviet union which are the historic change at r.t. dot com. also some fashionable framing down the japanese designer gowns at a card and swaps clothes with colors turning his hand to paintings he's been exhibiting in moscow we have his works on our website.

the survival is about to be determined as european leaders gather for a key summit later on thursday that examine proposals from the french and german leaders which could radically change how the euro zone works strict budget discipline and that common corporation tax for seventeen single currency members are among the priorities and the new rules are likely to impact on the wider european union and britain is threatening to veto anything which might damage london's financial sector yet the e.u. is already on watch for further credit downgrades if leaders don't act decisively in the next forty eight hours betty could have journalist in a grocery says that to escape the rule of brussels eve states have to go back to their own currencies. i think ultimately it's quite clear to me the euro has been

a failure and that the individual countries if they want to retain their sovereignty as i believe individual countries do then they're going to have to go back to their original country currencies the drachma to the to the etc and what we're discovering here i think is the playing out of a plot which has been going on for the last fifty years or so across europe which is in order to bring in a political union control from the center an undemocratic fashion of course we know that brussels is very very little democracy involved in brussels which is a kind of european dictatorship and what bothers me is that actually with we're already seeing this with greece and italy now run by goldman sachs effectively or dictatorships as for what's going to happen the end of the week it's anyone's guess but i think we'll have another farge these these big euro summit seem to me rather like press gangs where you've got a bunch of financial people just trying to bully our political representatives into

signing on the dotted line or else well to get a firm grip on europe's debt the summit will model over giving brussels the power to impose austerity on bailed out countries that could deal a further blow to struggling southern europe which is suffering most in the crisis as millions of unemployed people in spain fight over what jobs there are the young and talented are heading abroad. reports. it starts off as a symbol to abroad for example to peru or argentina or elsewhere but once they get their name the spaniards realize there are a lot more parties for them outside spain and for them latin american and some european countries present a modern day eldorado more than one and a half million spaniards presently reside outside of spain according to the latest statistics a lot of them left in the last couple of years like mary chel a journalist from madrid who moved to argentina two years ago like a moment already then people were losing jobs over my university fans either fired

over looking for something or watch their salaries being this is she sure is bad then now more than a year later it's a little worse it's more than twenty four percent spain's unemployment rate is one of the highest in the eurozone being a monthly mortgage bill is a challenge for many evictions have become an unfortunate but familiar sight no wonder many are starting to look for a way out of what seems to be a hopeless situation now people are taking a very bleak view of the medium and long term future and a lot of spaniards all looking at moving abroad and unfortunately for spain they seem to be precisely the kind of people who should be staying very well educated spanier say under the age of forty or thirty five or so people who speak maybe two or three languages they might have a master's degree or even a doctorate and those kind of people don't see a future for themselves in spain as and what about it naturally if there are no jobs in spain people have to go elsewhere that europe latin america in fact this

iteration in spain seems to be so desperate that even those who immigrated here several years ago like me gillon jurists i know also packing their bags and heading back home. a catch twenty two is that spanish citizens also cannot find a job so they get the preference to say nothing of the immigrant markets but i mean if many years we had a positive migration flow that is more people are coming in now it's negative each family may. their own reasons for leaving but i believe the economic crisis which is the main reason for. the or recent general elections saw the demise of the leftist socialist party who made way for the right wing peoples party but many economists agree no matter who is in charge they will have to follow the thorny path of implementing more as thirty measures meaning the bright young things desperate for a job continue to seek opportunity elsewhere it in a goes carty madrid. for the struggle to get

a head start is also being felt further east as we report later india is a flawed system finest with a lot of fun fall back as university places dry up. and. i can't believe didn't help for many years in the soviet system which faded away in less than twenty four hours a spell of this kind of push on the boomers below we acted in a true russian style we didn't know exactly what the future would bring that were to think about later three metres come together and sign an agreement dissolving the u.s.s.r. for good we have got to get rid of the so called big brother that was always controlling them was the dream of many republics of the world. but in the eyes of the people they put it like this i will liberate you from the kremlin oppression no one wants to take the blame if we could not be able to persuade gorbachev and besides he's word could not be relied upon i mean he could tell you anything and do

something completely different i can't forgive myself for being too liberal and in the sand boris yeltsin or i should have that was my mistake. this is the decisive in strict boris yeltsin that sets in the kremlin and set of good stuff at that time . then i don't think we have left television. forest soaries of. decades. with the discussion still ages was this a pill or a fait accompli. more news today. these are the images the world has been seeing from the

streets of canada. giant corporations to rule the day. in the u.s. more than one hundred. protesters have been arrested in san francisco and washington. my thought is to break up the movement which has been digging in the cross america for many three months he's going to witness the crackdown in the capital. as far as i could tell there were around four thousand people on the street minutes away from the white house over seventy protesters were arrested in total this wednesday in washington there was a girl in a wheelchair among them police stepped up arrest when protesters mostly young people blocked the road they were dragging them towards the police cars one person got nearly struck by

a police force so seventy people arrested this is being the largest number of arrests in washington says the beginning of this occupy movement this was all happening on k. street which is known as the lobbyist street people were protesting what they see as widespread corruption in the government authorities there pretty much cracked down on this occupy movement against corporate greed and government complicity little of actions of demonstrators from their occupy locations in california and in new york police used tear gas on people pepper spray rubber bullets sound and keep in mind it's been largely a very peaceful movement around five thousand peaceful protesters has been arrested in the last three months across the united states probably any country doing that would be internationally reprimanded for violating human rights but that doesn't seem to be the case when it comes to the united states. more world news for you down syria's president denies he ordered the crackdown on protesters that

reportedly killed more than four thousand people across the country since march. the fitted the claims during a rare interview to the american broadcaster saying he's not in charge of the security forces and gave no commands for violence the u.n. report accuses officials and the military commander civilians syria has been hit by sanctions because of the ongoing violence the latest from its ally turkey. afghanistan is blaming a pakistan based group for a string of bomb blasts that killed fifty nine people on tuesday president karzai is promising to raise the issue with the pakistani leadership to have a tense relationship with pakistan is demanding evidence for the claims the most powerful of the three blasts targeted shia muslims at the shrine in kabul i wouldn't think memory. in a tourist italian mafia boss has been arrested after being discovered in an

underground bunker. making shows that a rare one sixty. million people live sentences killer drug trafficking is being hailed as the end of the savaging real. crime exhibit control right there because. india is one of the world's few growth countries and it's got a burgeoning middle class to match but there's only so much opportunity to go around especially when it comes to getting top notch schooling for their children for many that means sending them abroad as peers should explain. with one point two billion people trying to make it to the top in india can be tough most indians believe that the key to success is getting a good education but with one of the fastest growing middle classes in the world more people than ever can afford a college degree meaning competition for spots at the top universities is fierce there are some schools which are just so you know academically oriented where you

know and then exchange cases there's you know there's even suicides if you know the board exams if your results aren't you know a ninety or ninety percent plus percent entrance into india's colleges and universities is based solely on the results of a high school students board examinations this year students wouldn't even be considered for delhi university's commerce program unless they scored at least one hundred percent on their exams in a twist to india's traditional brain drain where india's top talent was looking to the u.s. or europe for better opportunities now india's smartest students are exploring the west as a backup plan if their dreams of getting into an indian institution don't work out so ironic because you know in the u.s. which is sort of like you know the barrier going for. amazing secondary level studies i mean higher level studies is actually our safety as compared to india but it does happen and it's in fact not

a possibility it's is the problem molecule powell is applying early decision to princeton university in the united states she believes she actually has a better chance of getting into the ivy league american school than she does at being admitted to a prestigious indian one and the u.s. admission process is much more holistic in the admission process it's literally just one mock and in an interview experts in indian college admissions are also seeing the trend of indian students heading abroad out of need rather than desire they say that india needs to focus on a stablish in more higher education programs. students but even when i was in college sure here in india that i think there seem number of colleges that same number of seats available the drop in the number of colleges and number of seeds has really not kept up with the growth in the population for now pallas focusing on her princeton application in the hope that if things go her way she won't even have

to take the dreaded indian board examinations in the spring ideally i see myself in the us i know a lot of people who have been so relieved that they got there early decision and they just sort of slacked off when as far as the boards went and it was a relief that you know this they've got and placing her bets on the west to avoid the competition at home preassure either r t new delhi india. with all the business news. hello and a very warm welcome to the program markets here in russia struggled for direction on wednesday the big event at the end of the week is the e.u. summit investors are speculating well the eurozone will push for a federalized superstate to deal with his debt crisis meanwhile china is warning of a slowdown taking collectively economies due to their moment believes there are few reasons to be optimistic. the european crisis is signaling on its i

don't see a near term solution we have austerity programs almost everywhere except in the top two play countries these austerity measures fiscal policies have a very serious. negative effect on goals and we expect the you or your goals next year to be negative and together with the stroller now in china which is suffering from the exports which are doing not doing so well anymore plus policy in the housing sector. the overall picture for the world economy is not supposed to be any more this is obviously negative for commodity prices and therefore also for for russia. let's have a look at the markets oil is just a bit higher the so ahead of an interest rate decision in the euro bond a car full summit all you need us. and in asia stocks are not losing ground as in
