just genially human heart you 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 spiraling out of control. 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 our financial genocide for for far right it's not too fun from the perspective benefit for anyone for sure but from a perspective good mrs merkel has a very important task ahead to survive until the federal election and to have her coalitions of life she would need 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 got to this in the language of the day now the german taxpayer doesn't want this rain is going down it was just so they only will blockading the german. members of parliament and the electorate will be present 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 used to demonstrated 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 are not ready for the gigs they're meant for the banks ok so merkel to play her constituents but is going to continue to believe the greek people and so that they are physical visibly suffering because this world. appears her a lot of constituents that she's doing all she can to commit an act of horror finance or horror to these greek people now last week paul thompson head of the i.m.f. measure to greece conceded that social tolerance or political support have their limitations and of course this was before the arm of greek 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

his script from which he has to decide his lines was written by germany germany has effectively subcontract of the and mr johnson in particular the task of imposing onto greece these days the measures the berlin example but the i.m.f. does not believe it is the measures so this is christine lagarde is making some quite notable and interesting speeches that are going against the kind of medicine the grease is applying to the patient and his mrs thompson is caught between those two. places the worse mindsets one is out of it of his bosses in washington and the other is the germany does it which is contracted mrs domes to affect policy is a bit of dom's nose are quite poisonous not only for greece but more generally poor of the global economy ok now this is eight are saying they are the bureaucrats in

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 let the eurozone go. germany has not. decided that it wants to reconstitute the dodge martin get out they're going to be blocking the black holes. with no money either. by the c b or gallon loans from the german taxpayer greece is neither here nor there it is not significant important enough to worry about the state of its of its micro accounting national accounting or indeed of the real economy. so should greece have ever taken their first i.m.f.

loan bailout package or less made myself in credibly an ocular in this country when in even april to may two thousand and ten i was out of a gauging taking the bailout loan was the equivalent of collective suicide and it would constitute one of those instances in world economic history that will be taught and 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 mistake 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 it's one thing before the happened 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 from sort of the is a thing of the past until and unless some new government can 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 weekend while gris. gris play of the euro or germany leave the earth where you know is a will not be 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 didn't stop the industrial revolution similarly even if all the germans and all the greeks want greece out of the euro and. let me inform you that most greeks would

like to get out of the union of those who had enough were being treated like the pariahs 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 and has created this because of its offices we did banks and states if greece pulls outlets they were thrown out of the whole edifice will collapse germany is going to enter into a huge recession and the rest of europe is going to be. you know an option of the conflation so i think that we're again we're we're between a rock and hard place. the only. half of that would be minimized somehow the human cost of it all would be one of the xining of the year

and then leaned back from what i call bankrupt ocracy and putting it in the service of europe elsevier 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. john there are really ad 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 human griego and this is surprising not to do it is not good but germany what to do if you eat if you look at the purchases the procurement of weaponry.

it constitutes a very large group or of german exports and in one sense you know germany's saying well give me the money now i'm going to tell you what to do with it without money of course greece is dead and also to the profits of the german industry so it's quite interesting the cost google's not having to do with the jeans let alone more sophisticated instruments to fly disease the minister of defense is not given the opportunity of canceling the order for german tanks and submarines ok well there are many is 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 traffic us 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 geyser and stacy herbert and was i guess doctoring as fair a fake as if you want to send me an email please just our kaiser report at r t t v

un american league want to work together to stop the bloodshed in syria but the conflicting numbers of deaths coming from the country make it hard to get a true picture of events on the ground. as the e.u. plans to bring iran to its knees with an approaching oil embargo there are fears the move could backfire and hit european countries the hardest. plus u.s. drone attacks continue on pakistan with hundreds of civilian deaths in collateral damage as the country's foreign minister tells r.t. the strikes are counterproductive to the war on terror our top stories this hour.

international news and comment live from moscow this is r.t. with twenty four hours a day the u.n. says it plans to team up with the arab league and restart a monitoring mission in conflict on syria president assad's forces say they are 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 over the past week something hard to verify with conflicting opposition reports of casualties there are those who believe the figures are being manipulated to push a regime change agenda bodies are bennett reports. from the syrian observatory of human rights syrian observatory for human rights a syrian observatory for human rights it's one of the most widely quoted sources of syrian casualty figures this is not always a telling the truth for an ownership of the syrian observatory for human rights has

left several media outlets quoting if people see one nation as rivals by the same name the original group was hijacked by opposition activists in two posts. alongside the civilian one that's both sides claim they're the. 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're one and the same thing quoting the fake cites 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 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 united nations security council when that human rights strategy for regime change doesn't work how annoyed western governments are have got arab league monitor the original observatory strickly opposes military intervention they saw 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 they're the impostors of it as are we and these figures have been quoted by the b.b.c. c.n.n. and a.b.c. australia the other groups say they tried to pass some political of the is censored

like calling for no fly zone for international intervention and we made it clear i sit on their victory for human rights. origin our organization is that we are i guess an interventional we are against the no fly zone all we need is the. stop the bloodshed 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 at 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. government troops the b.b.c. and the guardian had to withdraw material after falsely quoting as always the human rights observatory the un stopped counting the death toll claiming it's 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 i've been it r t london. and israeli website reports the british and qatari special forces are already in syria assisting the rebels at the risk of middle east expert says if the claims prove to be true it won't help bring peace to the region. but this will probably mean more escalation on the ground some more covert military operations and on the political level we've also heard that some arab league countries all the arab league in very little is intending on officially recognizing the syrians are additional council the syrian political opposition body so i think it has something which is widely expected and of course really i see that more violence will be in the making

however we also do hear that the russians for example are providing the most assistance is possible they can to the syrians to deal with this issue now don't forget that the russian side has cautioned time and again of the rise of islamic fundamentalists all the presence of islamic fundamentalists inside syria those who oppose a syrian regime and syria has also spoken on top of them as well the son officer and the members of al qaida and the syrian ambassador to lebanon made it very clear one week ago when he said that most of the weapons that most of even for trace of the most of the smuggling is coming in from the level and unfortunately as the escalation from us as opponents into his or inclusive is i think that we are going to discover more and more smuggling and more and more of a negative role from some lebanese in the syrian issue. europe has become more dependent on oil imports from iran new research suggests the e.u. countries bought more oil from the islamic republic in two thousand and eleven with the biggest customers being spain and italy but with the e.u.

planning to cut off trade in july in line with the international sanctions against iran many on the continent are voicing concerns that the move will backfire to run as also europe that it's shooting itself in the first the view is shared by spain's ambassador to iran who says his country suffers the most from the continuing e.u. pressure against the islamic republic and some imagery believe the oil embargo has been forced upon europe. what we're seeing here is not a distinction 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 united states pressure on the european union european union actually had a very good relationship in terms of 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 alternative supplies if they cut the supply now we want to be able to find them there will be a huge recession in europe. well still to come for you this here on our to live in moscow financial troubles prove a health hazard in the u.s. as manufacturers gamble on america's caffeine dependency often with disastrous results that story coming your way a little later here on r.t.

rich bright if you live from feinstein question. start time dot com. one of the most senior al qaeda chiefs 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 i'm unsure 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 attacks chris woods who compiled a report thinks the u.s. is simply ignoring the condemnation over its deadly drone policy and. the cia has been saying for some time that it hasn't killed a civilian in pakistan since at least two thousand and ten every news agency.

every credible news organization that's looked at this is not the case we know that civilians are being killed in pakistan with these drone strikes but does seem to be an indication there 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 again. 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 work that these strikes are legal or not the united states is claiming something called state secrets privilege but that's what they say actually this is a covert operation and we can't discuss it while it's somewhat been blown out of the water by the president himself going on google recently and talking to americans about the existence of this so-called covert program. pakistan's foreign minister told r.t. that instead of helping fight the insurgency u.s. drone strikes are actually him injuring 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 unitary approaches. in how we want to rid this region in our view. not only completely illegal and awful and had north resolution to be used within the domains of international law but even more importantly there counterproductive to your objective of getting this region rid of militancy and terrorism and extremism because if one straight leads to getting you target number one or target number three today you're creating five more targets with ten more targets in the militancy that it breeds in the in the for doing that it gives to the militants to attract more people to join their ranks.
