fact and fiction of russia's ronnie's election launches take a twist in foreign news coverage with fox news romney using footage of the greek riots. future security at stake as russia and nato to meet to tackle bottle sticking points like european missile defense and a prevention of the libya style military interventions. and currency crunch time for the euro leaders roll up their sleeves and prepare to slug it out to solve the debt crisis once and cool but the bitter pill may be too hard for some to swallow.

twelve noon here in moscow this is r t welcome to the program now news bulletins around the world have been following russia's election rallies but one channel stands out america's fox news has been showing streets ablaze violent clashes and fire bombs through 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 to be 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. thousands of protesters have gathered in moscow the 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. or ruse

revolution in georgia. perception is created that something is happening in a 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 and other living in russia u.s. leaders have leveled harsh criticism against russia in the aftermath of sunday's parliamentary election and critics say it's free press has worked to read and. course the narrative the media tends to march in lock step 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 to apologize to the ara 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 purina portnoy r.t. new york. that's 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. loyalty and an afternoon rally in central moscow. later in the game your position held its own rally demonstrations in the capital and sent petersburg into trying to protest as previous days riot police were on stand by dozens of people detained during on sanctions protests. veggies voting fraud and he's promising more rallies president really. has ordered all reports of addiction violations to be only investigated. while the russian rallies go viral across the mainstream us media is ongoing trouble on the home front in america will stay with the professed under-perform stars one hundred peaceful protesters are arrested in washington in san francisco but the latest book. russia's

foreign minister is in belgium for the kremlin as they just push for security guarantees from nato for more of what's at stake has auntie's tests 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 the nato secretary general anders fogh rasmussen has reiterated the importance of the partnership between russia and nato especially when it comes to standing be flow of narcotics from afghanistan another issue bill be discussing is currently there about five thousand five hundred peacekeeping troops over there and there have been plans to slash the 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 cost of and police some local serbs and so they will be assessing the situation in kosovo as well as it got a summer one of the main points and sticking points in fact between russia and nato are the table is out of the missile defense system now this has been going on for

some time now both sides stayed firm 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 however russia has not been satisfied with this in the past russia had proposed our joint russia nato defense system that had been refused and view of that russia had been asking for a legally binding guarantees essentially just having those words of assurances on paper to satisfy moscow whatever that has not been done and in response russia put in place some military measures and moscow also said that it may be forced to deploy some moderate weapon systems if its concerns are not taken seriously both by nato and its allies namely the united states 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. well with the absence of a government to you russia deploy the radar on its western. response to nato

missile defense plans the kremlin stresses the facility. is not against the u.s. dollars. washington sealed deals are put in from a techie and space to house elements of nato system which the white house wants ready by twenty twenty some observers think the deployment of the fear he's pushing you towards a new arms race. just won't provide any measure protection against. iran or north korea that they don't exist yet they might in the future but if they do they'll be able to do this is raising questions about what the u.s. long term intentions are and where are we headed now i think it's a very good thing that russia is do you know harder line unless now i wish you would have done it sooner but better late than damn later. because we certainly if the united states continues to go down the road with trouble the real

reasons that russia are concerned about this have to do with the implications for space and with the implications for a future arms race that russia does not want to get into. all the euro's survival is about to be determined as european leaders gather for a key summit later on thursday then examine proposals from the french and german leaders which could radically change how the euro zone works strict budget discipline on the corporation tax for the seventeen single currency members among the parties toss them back when the president sarkozy seeking to balance the two thousand and nine has been treaty which we struck to the way the entire works britain is threatening to veto anything which might damage london's financial sector. he was already on the watch for further credit downgrades of these don't act decisively in the next forty eight hours. well to get a firm grip on europe's debt the summit will monitor 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 vie to over what few jobs there are the young and talented are heading abroad. now reports. it starts off as a simple 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 marriage fell a journalist from madrid who moved to argentina two years ago like a moment already then people are losing jobs all of my university fans are either fired or looking for something which the seller is buying this is she shows that 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 paying 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 spaniards 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 in what is naturally if there are no jobs in spain people have to go elsewhere be that europe latin america in fact this issue asian in spain seems to be so desperate this even those who immigrated here several years ago like miguel indurain as i know also packing their bags and heading back

home. the catch twenty two is that spanish citizens also cannot find a job so they give the preference to say nothing of the immigrant markets but i mean a thing for many years we had a positive migration flow that is more people are coming in now it's negative each family male. their own reasons for leaving but i believe the economic crisis which is the main reason. at the recent general elections saw the demise of the leftist socialist party who need to play for the right wing people's party but mainly economists agree no matter who is in charge they will have to follow the thorny path of implementing more measures mean the bright young things desperate for a job will continue to seek opportunities elsewhere it in a goes carty madrid. where the struggle to get a head start is also being felt further east as we reform later india's brightest and finest discovering the foreign fallback as university places.
