human costs that is hunger and. just genially human heart are the people in the deficit countries greece being the worst but there is no doing much better than in spain portugal ireland. and this whole process this simply is spiralling out of control right and the average person in grace is having their their minimum wage cut by twenty to twenty five percent currently at seven hundred fifty euros per month down to six hundred euros per month so this is just their scapegoating the average person right just again on the status of fame they. are just basically committing kind of a financial genocide for for far right it's not fun from their perspective it's a benefit for anyone for sure but from a perspective mrs merkel has a very important task ahead to survive until the federal election and to have her
6:49 am
coalitions of life she needs to do to give greece's the government the bill of loans that then the government passed into the hands. now she has because of the members of parliament in the for them. and she needs to convince them that this must be done but you can't come out and openly say that this is all for the benefit of the banks so she has to count to this in the language of the day now the german taxpayer does not want to train the sort that it was just so they only will blockading the german. members of parliament and the electorate of the exams is basing them look watch those gigs suffer again if they suffer a sufficiently then perhaps we should give them some money so the whole point of reducing the minimum wage from seven hundred to six hundred views and i mean there is no my group can only rational whatsoever it will this is the only point of blues
6:50 am
used to demonstrate due to the german members of parliament particular of the ruling coalition the look the greeks are bleeding so no let's give them more loans when of course those loans the limits of the gigs are meant for the banks ok so merkel to play her constituents but it is going to continue to believe the greek people and so that they are physical visibly suffering because this world of then. appears her a log all constituents that she's doing all she can to act of horror find out or horror to these people now last week paul thompson head of the i.m.f. mission to greece conceded that social tolerance of political support have their limitations and of course this was before the arm of great president was here with a molotov cocktail but your thoughts on thompson's statement both thompson is a tragic figure he's here supposedly represented the muslim wonder from. and
6:51 am
his script from which he has to decide his lines was written by germany germany has effectively subcontract of the hour and mr johnson in particular the task of imposing on to greece these days the measures the believes the sample but the i.m.f. does not believe it is the measures so this is christine lagarde is making some why notable and interesting speeches that are going against the kind of medicine the greece is applying to the patient and his mrs domes and between those two. places the worse mindsets one is out of it of his bosses in washington and the other is with the german leaders which is something contracted mrs domes to affect policy is a bit of dom's nose are quite positive as not only for greece but more generally poor of the global economy ok now this is after saying there bureaucrats of
6:52 am
brussels have just found another fifteen billion euro black hole greece. there seems to be a recurring theme how many more black holes do you expect to be found in great financial universe before it's all over it really depends on whether germany is ready to lead the eurozone go. germany has not. decided that it wants to reconstitute the dodge not get out they're going to be blocking the black holes. with more money either. by the c b or gallon loans from the german taxpayer greece is neither here nor there it is not significant or important enough to worry about the state of its of its micro accounting national accounting or indeed of their economy. so
6:53 am
should greece have ever taken their first i.m.f. loan bailout package alice made myself in credibly an ocular in this country when in april to may two thousand and ten i was under gauging taking the bailout loan was the equivalent of collective suicide and it would constitute one of those instances in world economic history that would be thought of example to be avoided in the economic developments for the next hundred years how about the. oil iran oil embargo going to grace the same as like a really another for us or a state or what are your thoughts alice the prime minister of a year or two years ago mr george papandreou who was responsible for getting us into the bailout mark one disaster nevertheless is one thing before that happens
6:54 am
which was quite ahead of its time and i think correct he said that if we are ever to fall into the bosom of the i.m.f. and the european union will lose our national sovereignty and this is precisely what has happened greece that is not in control of its fate anymore now through sort of the is a thing of the past until and unless some new greek government. simply say. i know who the bailout loans that are being on offer to the greek social com right now most germans according to our poll last week while gris. gris play of the euro or germany i believe the earth where you know is a will not be and pull back in just before the industrial revolution and we were asked whether they want the industrial revolution. most of them would have said no that installed the industrial revolution similarly even if all the germans and all
6:55 am
the greeks want greece out of the euro and. let me inform you that most greeks would like to get out of the euro now we've had enough we're being treated like the brightness of the euro zone. is immaterial this is that car is you should never have entered into neither us nor the germans for that matter but tragically it is a galaxy that once you enter you cannot escape. if we get out of it we're not going to return to where we would have been had we not constructed it and instead the way that this currency has blocked our economies together has created this because kate of insolvencies we did banks and states if greece pulls outlets they were thrown out of the whole edifice will collapse germany is going to end into a huge recession and the rest of europe is going to be. you know an option of the glaciation so i think that we're again we're we're between a rock and hard place. the only. half of that would
6:56 am
minimize somehow the human cost of it all will be one of the xining of the year and then lead back from what i call bank of doc recy and putting it in the service of europe if you're saying that despite the crisis in greece are still buying weapons they're still spending on lots of money. it's kind of interesting for two reasons number. one they don't really have money to buy weapons number two if they really want to fight the war they should be buying financial weapons like they should be hiring financial mercenaries to attack germany with credit default swaps if they really wanted to be on a level playing field and try to fight for their survival but isn't this buying of conventional weapons again another huge waste of money by greece is worse than the . uses humor and this is surprising not to do it has not been pulled but germany what to do if you eat if you look at the purchases the procurement of weaponry.
6:57 am
it constitutes a very large proportion of german exports and in one sense you know germany's saying well i'm giving you the money and i'm going to tell you what to do with it but that money of course to greece's debt and also to the profits of the german industry so it's quite interesting that while cost google's not having to do with all the genes let alone a more sophisticated instruments to fly disease the minister of defense is not given the opportunity of canceling the order of four german tanks and submarines ok well there are many going to look like they're going to pick up a lot of nice beach front property on the cape that's all the time we have for dr yanis traffickers thanks for being on the kaiser report thank you max and that's going to do it for this edition of the kaiser report with a kaiser and stacy herbert i was i guess doctoring out as fair

7:00 am
syria's forces bombed the city of homs with reports of yet more deaths but with conflicting numbers of casualties coming from the country it is almost impossible to get a true picture of events. iran under fire on every front while the e.u. sanctions loom over the country president ahmadinejad is wanted by the parliament for questioning over the plummeting economy. plus u.s. drone attacks rained down on pakistan with hundreds of civilian deaths in collateral damage as the country's foreign minister tells r.t. that such measures are counterproductive to the war on terror.
7:01 am
a very warm welcome to you from all of us here at r.t. moscow received shame the u.n. says it plans to team up with the arab league and restart of monitoring mission in conflict torn syria president assad's forces say they are currently conducting anti terror operations shelling several areas including the flashpoint city of homs but activists are accusing the government of a massacre saying hundreds of civilians have been killed just over the past week but with syria and a foreign media blackout the reality on the ground is very hard to confirm that with conflicting opposition reports of casualties there are those who believe the figures are being manipulated to push every change agenda. bennett. the syrian observatory for human rights it's one of the most widely quoted sources
7:02 am
of syrian casualty figures but it's not always telling the truth and ownership the syrian observatory for human rights is left several media outlets quoting false information as to rivals fight for the same name the original group was hijacked by opposition activists who are posting military deaths alongside civilian ones both sites claim they're the official observatory this is the original site in arabic with an english version on facebook and this is the fake site launched in the center and mostly in english several foreign news outlets have assume they are one and the same thing quoting the fake sites casualty figures the consequence a very different perspective of the crisis the original cites latest figures show just over five thousand one hundred civilian deaths against almost two thousand military casualties the rival site claims well over six and a half thousand civilians have been killed and barely six hundred troops
7:03 am
a difference many claim suggests this is a lot more than just a numbers game i don't think even the people using these figures are have any objectivity really they have an agenda a clear agenda is the just the fire by any means possible that assad regime is a brutal massacring regime and it needs to fall a soon as possible and we can see the like nations security council when that human rights strategy for regime change doesn't work how annoyed western governments are have got syrian observatory original observatory strictly opposes military intervention the man who hijacked it's name disagrees. used to translate at the real observatory he was fired after falsely claiming to be an official spokesman and using a live interview to call for a no fly zone since then he's launched a smear campaign against the original group claiming there. imposters often as are we and these figures have been quoted by the b.b.c. c.n.n. and a.b.c.
7:04 am
australia the other groups say they tried to pass some political views so far by calling for no fly zone for international intervention and we made the clear i sit on the server tree for human rights that original organization is that we are i guess an interventional we are against a no fly zone all we need is to stop the bloodshed in all that is going on in syria as always and his group refused to speak on camera stating i cannot waste my time talking about this is the moment whilst people are dying in homs they're my priority right now he did refer us to another opposition group based in london and they too refused to comment on the ownership of the observatory but they did confirm that reporting military deaths was not in their interest it's not our position to report. these awful for government troops the b.b.c. and the guardian had to withdraw material after falsely quoting as always the human
7:05 am
rights observatory the un stop counting the death toll claiming it is too difficult to keep track of but its human rights chief also said five thousand civilian deaths should be enough to provoke international action the real observatory still documents the deaths civilian or otherwise but it may be too late for the numbers to matter either bennett's party london. and moscow has been trying to mediate the conflict while saying that president assad is ready for talks with the opposition got to him a little believes that russia's approach will actually help to solve the crisis by leaving the rebels in syria no choice but to negotiate. after so many months of military operations by the rebels in syria at this pretty clear that what we are dealing with here is definitely not a peaceful protest but an armed rebellion supported from abroad we are
7:06 am
dealing with western military political and security trace and to syria both russia and china have created butler conditions for the opposition to accept dialogue with the government the veto is helping peace more than anything because at the styling the forum backed opposition that it cannot count on the foreign intervention as happened in libya and they lock the top of the regime and therefore and fuck the veto is creating better conditions for the opposition to come to the negotiating table and in that sense the veto is fostering peace and helping put an end to the bloodshed in syria. the book that you put a human talking to us from jordan just a bit earlier. now as the u.s. and europe pile sanctions on iran over its nuclear program the country's president
7:07 am
is facing pressure on the home front as well iranian or make use of some and of mahmoud ahmadinejad to parliament the question him over the handling of the country's economy are when the majority is expected to appear in marginally within a month for the first such questioning since the islamic revolution of nine hundred seventy nine the past year has seen iran suffer soaring inflation and a drop in the national currency value that's ours the european union which buys roughly twenty percent of oil exported by iran plans to cut off that trade in july however to iran has warned the e.u. that it's shooting itself in the foot a few shared by the spanish ambassador to iran madrid based journalist more or believes the embargo has been forced upon europe. what we're seeing here is not a decision that comes actually from european countries to spain never wanted to go to to prove to be put in place this is something that comes externally from the
7:08 am
united states pressure on the european union european union actually had a very good relationship in terms of the economy and trade with iran it was retrieved in the last twenty years the connections that have been lost after the iranian revolution and the situation was improving until we came to these new tension and he's not just to spain and italy also greece imports lots of oil from iran and it could be hard hit in a way that would bring them bankrupt in the coming future that would be a complete disaster for the european union and for the euro and that can happen because of these of these political move it has now become an economic issue and can have even more. destructive effects if the iranians decide to say cut of the strait of hormuz or even if they now decide to beat europe to it by. by by cutting off their oil now because we need this time to find
7:09 am
alternative supplies if they cut the supply now we want to be able to find them there will be a huge recession in europe. and financial troubles prove a health hazard in the united states as manufacturers gamble on america's caffeine dependency often with disastrous results so that story coming your way a bit later on r.t. . how do we explore the sky high ambitions of the russian region that pioneered the country's aviation industry out close up series that's still to come in a few minutes. one of the most senior al qaeda chief in pakistan has been killed by an american drone strike along with three other suspected militants the attack took place in the north waziristan tribal area close to the border with afghanistan but that monsoor is suspected of killing dozens of people in the country and abroad that comes after the bureau of investigative journalism found hundreds of civilians died because of similar cia ordered aerial
7:10 am
attacks chris woods who compiled the report things the u.s. is simply ignoring the condemnation over its deadly drone policy. the cia has been saying for some time now that it hasn't killed a civilian in pakistan since at least two thousand and ten every news agency out of pakistan every credible news organization that's looked at this is finding that that's not the case we know that civilians are being killed in pakistan with these drone strikes but does seem to be an indication that these drone strikes are happening despite what pakistan wants not because of what pakistan wants because of causing huge problems within pakistan united states court has ever looked at the legality of these drone strikes and there's a reason for that every time a case has been brought in the united states that has attempted to look at what at these strikes are legal or not the united states is claiming something called state secrets privilege that that's what they say actually this is
7:11 am
a covert operation and we can't discuss it well that's somewhat been blown out of the water by the president himself going on google recently and talking live to americans about the existence of this so-called covert program. and of pakistan's foreign minister has told all of us here at r.t. that instead of helping to fight insurgency that the u.s. drone strikes are actually harming the war on terror. the region has some serious problems but into terrorism and pakistan has always maintained that it is important to have collaborative joint efforts to be able to rid this region rather than follow sort of unity approach is. in how we want to rid the streets and in our view. not only completely illegal and awful and had north radiation to be used in within the domains of international law but even more importantly they're counterproductive to your objective of getting this region rid of militancy and
7:12 am
terrorism and extremism because if one strike leads to getting you target number one or target number three today you're creating five more targets or ten more targets. the militancy that is in the in the for good that it gives to the militants to attract more people to join their ranks. and you can watch my full interview in about fifteen minutes right here on art. britain could soon start using chemical weapons for domestic law enforcement a group of experts from the national academy of sciences believes the government intends to develop nerve agents for the police to use against rioters my book fields from the education activist network says it's part of an intensifying crackdown on shows of public discontent. nerve gas as it is as it is called has been used against protesters in the june general
7:13 am
strike in greece and amnesty international condemned the use of that tear gas in normal language it's called choking gas and has said that the greek government has waged a chemical warfare upon its very own citizens now you can actually die from the from the gas is being used against protesters against larger crowds and what we have seen is that the police time and time again has lost control of the streets and thus it doesn't come as a surprise in the context of global revolutions and revolt that now the u.k. is starting to use the same measures as countries as mubarak has done in egypt or even the greek government has done to its very own citizens over the general strike so it wouldn't surprise me if these chemicals are being used on british streets but similar a cure and so is what happened but we need to say is that the police have overextended the use of force on previous demonstrations so far they have curtailed the right to
7:14 am
protest by threatening students to use rubber bullets and water cannons and the latest announcement actually makes very clear the intentions of the police to further curtail our right to protest. could have passed the hour here in the russian capital this is r t let's get to some other brief headlines for you from around the world was with the moment deaves that's where a criminal court has issued an arrest warrant for alstott president mohamed nasheed has come just a day off to the leader was among dozens injured when a riot police used force against protesters as on rest deepened. resulted from a police mutiny and popular protest over a controversial decision to arrest a top judge claims he was forced to resign at gunpoint and promises to return to office. his troops have killed thirteen kurdish insurgents in two separate clashes in turkey nine people died in near the town of bengal and four other. near the town of after rebels attacked a military stationed there it's less than a week since turkish warplanes bombed three suspected rebel targets in northern
