c. refusing to remove the camps from two parks despite threats of police action activists though are still preparing to resist with offices standing at the ready nearby and it's not his liz wahl explains occupiers remain united in their own going beliefs. so we are here at macpherson square where protesters have been occupying the park since october through out the demonstration about one hundred tents have been pitched here the national park service has repeatedly slapped these notices on tents here macpherson square informing protesters that they can no longer camp out here that means they have to get rid of sleeping bags and any other material which allows them to live here protesters are responding by painting that symbol on the notice which demonstrates the fact that they do not agree with this mandate there are tens can stay about their doors must remain open proving no one is living in it the notice warns protesters that violate the rule are subject to arrest and it's

basically a symbol of opposition. to you know he is what everything this movement is opposing right now and so i think the tents are really important part of what you buy but police presence was sparse with no reported arrests they stand mostly on the sidelines refusing to answer questions from the media no one but occupiers made their message loud and clear they are not giving up the fight here as you can see protesters have erected a massive shadow over the statue here at macpherson park it's all in demonstrations of the anticipated even action by park oh yes this is our tents of dreams we want to be able to sleep here so we can dream of a better world where everyone has access to health care education housing and where the rich from corporations and banks no longer have control over political system the federal government and the political leaders in wall street were all tone

deaf they could not hear this so the occupy movement has offered them a hearing aid and they're getting our message loud and clear now the purpose of this was to unite us in this space so if they want to arrest one of us after arrest all of us or not us and washington. and don't forget we've also got the world covered for you on our website odyssey dot com let's have a quick look and see what's online for you right now no idea. bank account son stored in baghdad. has vanished two billion u.s. dollars that's just disappeared into thin air. a whistleblower neighbor julian assange makes it to the small screen in the five hundredth episode of the simpsons i discover when you can catch it on air at our website.

in about five minutes time so it's the business but for now warships ground to air missiles and drones britain is not gearing up for war rather the london summer olympics the preparations of calling on all corners of the nation's defenses but as bennett reports so many fear the measures will post serious risks to privacy. spectators may know who they're watching at the olympics but they won't know who's watching them surveillance drones like this could be circling the skies of london this summer police may use the spy cameras in their lympics anti terror tactics it'll leave no hiding place the drones can make out a car's number plate from heights of up to one kilometer privacy campaigners fear

is the start of a slippery slope i think it be our salute tragedy for britain the largest part of the olympic legacy was a surveillance like to see where we have store all this equipment in the name of national security and then when the other bits are over we keep using it very very serious risk to the privacy that might not be adequately protected the spy in the skies been piloted before in britain by four police forces but never took off after one crashed into a river and the u.k. aviation authority failed to grant the necessary license that's the only legal requirement before this sort of surveillance becomes a reality at the olympics a minor hurdle for what's already britain's biggest peacetime security operation total cost over one point six billion dollars it is worrying that the security bill has increased so drastically from initial estimates one of the reasons being given for this is so heightened risk of terrorism which seems incredible as an excuse at

a time when the original estimates were made around the time of the london bombings when london was considered to be a very high risk so it seems incredible they got the estimates so badly wrong in the first place commandos speeding up the thames is one answer to a myriad of perceived terror threats this time a hijacked passenger boat they'll also be warships and could on the thames attack helicopters on standby even ground to air missiles ready to launch or vance before you even get to the security on the ground to give you know. idea of the numbers take the olympic stadium capacity eighty thousand ground security at the games is enough to fill sixty percent of that inside the venue will be over twenty three thousand security guards along with seven and a half thousand military personnel and then outside a further six thousand troops along with twelve thousand police total just shy of fifty thousand the budgets ballooned by one hundred percent because initial

estimates were woefully inadequate but that still couldn't stop two fake bombs being sneaked in under the radar at the stadiums dummy runs not exactly great value for money london organizers have tried to play down fees the olympic village will be a siege city but with such a massive security operation the plan the limb pick legacy of international friendship may not be the one that's actually left either bennett r.t. london but for us to be true in the business for now the r.t. world updates some other international news in brief for you and overnight air raids by american drones in southern yemen have left around fifteen suspected al-qaeda militants killed the target it was an insurgent base in an area taken from the government following the ousting of former president ali abdullah saleh the embattled leader agreed to step down next month he's now in the u.s. undergoing treatment for injuries suffered during an assassination attempt last

june. the u.n. nuclear watchdog a three day visit to iran to monitor the country's nuclear facilities ends on tuesday despite an offer from tehran to prolong the mission u.s. lawmakers say they intend to impose more sanctions on iran even before the inspectors publish their findings tensions have been running high between the islamic republic and the west amid accusations that iran's nuclear program is not small. i have more headlines in about five minutes time by that will be after dimitri and the business. thanks henri emerging market currencies are seeing the best start of the year since well the turn of the century russian ruble along with the mexican paso and the brazilian reale have outperformed currencies from the major developed nations sentiment is supported by rising risk appetite after e.u.

leaders signed up for a stricter budget discipline at the monday's summit however stephen jacobson from saxo bank believes the positive mood will not last long. the central banks continue to print money so much that they actually running out of paper to printed on if you look at the easy be they have been expanding their balance sheet since july first by thirty eight percent in terms of currency strength and risk appetite has become a game of continuing to froehlich credit she added what is essentially a solve the issue is little bit like pretending that you can treat a patient who is ill by giving them more fear and just create a diagnosis of why the patient is sick but of course a patient will improve short term and this is what's going on with the risk appetite and that's what's going on with the currency market. all right let's take a look at those currencies stronger while it is pushing the russian currency higher versus the dollar and the euro thirty two for the greenback twenty for the euro

whereas on the global market was seeing that the euro is slightly strengthening versus the u.s. dollar. come odysseys now while gaining value as traders get the message that greece is closer to the final stage of his talks reform holders now that brings hope that the e.u. crisis might soon be resolved which in turn increases risk appetite now this hour what we're seeing is yet again above one hundred dollars per barrel brant is above one hundred twenty. now european indices the stuff the e.u. leaders agreed on monday evening to boost school integration germany's unemployment data came out a few hours ago presently surprised investors fell to the lowest level since the creation of the euro zone although the same sophistic rose to a record high of the euro zone for the eurozone as a whole now this hour both of them about more than point eight percent. here in moscow pretty much the same picture as we've seen the previous hours m i six is up

this is all to see live from your headlines now russia's foreign minister warns the un security council will never approve foreign military intervention in syria but says moscow has never insisted retaining the assad regime was a condition for peace but as the syrian opposition rejects a chance for talks with the country's president instead of threatening the assad with a brutal and bloody. plans to expand the u.s.

military presence in the asia pacific region. far on the philippines which has offered to host more american troops and china daily has called for sanctions against the island nation to create tension in the region. and this year's first e.u. summit exposes a deepening divisions within the with predictions they'll grow even wider. most members agree to fiscal restrictions the critics say is an affront to sovereignty and democracy. and coming up next here we sit down with. cullinan from the u.k. conservative party more about whether the fallout from the year's first summit will be felt. today we're joined by martin. the u.k. conservative party and he's also the new head of the european conservatives and

a reformist group at the european parliament thanks very much for joining us today the first question is the e.u. . this is part of the president of the country over its controversial nuclear program statement british prime minister david cameron along with. merkel and said that quote our message is clear we have no quarrel with the iranian people but the leadership has failed to restore international confidence in the exclusively peaceful nature of its nuclear program now at what cost to the european union is this message being delivered. you have agreed that we are not going to buy any more oil from iran number of member states to have. reasonable reason be considered so they would have to stop buying oil from iran but i think you know the overall. you know we have come

together twenty seven nations i will say to the iranians you know you know we really must get some assurances on the nuclear program it's unacceptable to the rest of the world for iran to acquire nuclear weapons but i will factor will the sanctions be right now you see india still buying oil from iran with gold and you have china could possibly just step in and buy the oil that the u.s. and the e.u. don't want so how effective really will the sanctions be countries like india which of course. functioning democracies as well i'm sure other diplomatic pressure being applied to that too to maybe get them on board with the with the regime as well you know we have to be united as a world to say to iran this is unacceptable you will not be permitted to develop. nuclear weapons. we will leave no stone to the pursuing this policy of british petroleum or b.p. would be a british government as well as the e.u. have been lobbying u.s. lawmakers for an exception from another proposed new u.s.

sanctions which seek to stop western companies from doing business with iran in particular this has to do with the shah denice project in azerbaijan iran has a ten percent stake in that while greece is now forced to find alternatives to almost one third of its oil imports from iran even if it didn't want to to begin with and here you have the u.k. asking for an exception how can that be fair when we see if there is an exemption on that i mean this pipeline that you're referring to from was about ten percent owed by. iranian state assets so it's not clear what the exact effect will be on that but at the same time you know as well as the sanctions on iran we also want to pursue. diversifying energy sources for western europe this pipeline is a key part of that but it is rather hypocritical saying this is a message to iran there are going to be loopholes that we've accepted that there will be costs to to the west down on implementing this policy on this it could well

be that this is one of the costs we have to bear but i think there is not a majority owned area not that there was only ten percent of it it is a key part of europe's attempt to diversify our energy sources and our energy base and i'm sure they will want to continue with this but further discussions will take place on exactly what happened to this particular project so basically what you're saying is it's ok to have sanctions against iran as long as it doesn't go against the goal of the e.u. to diversify its sources that would look like that that's the view that's being taken but i think the detail the detail work a lot to be done on this you know none of the sanctions are taking effect until august anyway let's talk about the euro zone this question has been asked. long enough even at the recent press conference of the. journalist to get a straight answer of whether or not greece will default or exit from the euro so what do you think will there be a greece default or it can give you my opinion but i think they will default you

know effectively. that's being imposed on the bondholders at the moment many could argue that that's effectively a default anyway. maybe your question is. don't control credit events i just know. i don't know what is clear to me is the current debt. is unsustainable. in my view that debt will have to be reduced considerably one way of doing it would be for them to default on the euro i do my view that it's probably the most effective way of doing that and at the same time helping to save the rest of the eurozone but you know i'm not a member of a country that part of the euro zone so euro zone themselves but that seems to me to be the way that we're heading. that we delay this process the difficulties of being told that the u.k. wants to have a say what. we can give our opinions but

you know we did not join the euro in the first place we advised against the euro being created. many pitfalls that there would be along the way it looks like finding out the hard way that you know you can compress seventeen countries economic policies into one currency zone while still operating seventeen different economic policies well there are still some people who would argue that there are other solutions to this crisis one of which would be the issue. another would be the further of funding mechanisms vailable for countries that need them with germany contributing more and germany has said no to all of these suggestions and some would say that this behavior from germany is a can too. yeah. i would if i was a german politician i would.

look at the. right. to do this is the fundamental problem with the. creation of it. i hope they will also continue to resist as well so that. where does that. push this forward. asking myself what is the point of this. crisis at the moment the

next crisis five years. if countries are persuaded to rein in the. deficit this is going to take. to be implemented by. a. country is that it. is going to provide a solution to a crisis that. is. distracting attention from the very real things that need to be done to solve the current crisis. instead of addressing the fundamental problems. competitiveness crisis in europe none of these issues are being addressed by this so i don't think it work and i think it's essentially pointless let's talk about the european stability mechanism . this is the funding facility which will be launched and put into place in the

target is to have five hundred billion euros in funds that will be available for countries that may need it in the future and also the e.c.b. is asking a for about two trillion euros do you think that. will be a big enough far wall to question any impact that a possible default or euro exit may have on other countries. if if spain or italy runs into trouble you know you could look at the. damage in those countries you can see that if i was not necessarily picking up but this is a matter for the eurozone countries themselves to be essential fundamental structural problems mainly in the euro zone. you know that being seventeen different countries this is the difficulty with david cameron uses veto with the e.u. summit against any treaty changes because he failed to get guarantees to protect the interests of the u.k. particularly of the city of london and france is circulating its blueprint for

proposal on a new financial transaction tax how big of a deal do you think this could become our position is that we will not accept a financial transaction tax or do you look. in any event in any event. because it's pointless to get it you know it won't really raise very much money it will just drive the institutions away to other jurisdictions like new york. something outside of the scope of this there are electronic transactions by the nature they can take place in many different locations across the world so we don't they're going to raise very much money we think will be bad for european business. we think it's unfairly targeted it will be paid by. by individual investors the big banks. will be clever enough to. operate on a worldwide basis it will be. effective so they are the new.

people what is this. realistic acceptance of the limits of european integration. to. make you know. statements. about european integration. with the euro zone crisis. we could make. maybe some european. areas. sticking to their fundamental national democratic principle which is the basic building block of the european union so what are the.
