three broadcast quality video projects a free media. a euro zone exit looms for greece as major differences to the latest coalition talks with the president leaving a final charge for unity. rallies in support of hundreds of palestinian prisoners on hunger strike in israeli jails places brutal crackdowns by the israeli military with the protesters bearing the problems plus. i have twenty thousand forty thousand dollars from one hundred fifty thousand u.s. students facing a lifetime of loan repayments while struggling to find jobs now counting the true cost of their education.

this is from moscow with twenty four hours a day. end game today in athens where a political party leaders are beginning a last ditch effort to form a coalition if they fail greece would have to stage a new election one predicted to both. factions even more uncertainty grips greece its once unthinkable exit from the euro zone is looking increasingly likely in the country itself banks have reportedly begun to prepare for a switch to the form of currency the drachma the e.u. is also deeply worried over the possible consequences but maintains greece's exit won't be fatal but political analyst. says it shouldn't be about preserving the euro but helping the people. and greece has already hit you know the bottom and very soon other countries will do the same because it's not just working class it's really middle middle class which will be squeezed without any pity for the sake of these financial interests and this is something which goes against the

grain of democracy and against the grain of dignity and freedom we are stuck in italy to have you know a number of suicides which are very similar to the ones that we had in tunisia and watch just say our official statistics and the statistics office well as the number is in line with the past years i'm sure the same thing has been said to ben ali of a certain statisticians but that is not the point it's not about numbers it is about politics and political perception so i think that the situation at least in some countries is really ready for. something very similar to an arab revolution as uncertainty builds in athens so as i got mounting across the e.u. private german investors many of them pensioners are especially furious they cling they were intentionally duped into investing into doomed greek bonds all in the

name of agenda driven politics what is your position of reports from germany. imagine most of your retirement savings gone with the stroke of a pen and this man certainly knows how it feels peter moritz invested his savings into greek southern bonds after being guaranteed his money was protected by the government and soon retired banker realized he was played in his own game they are looking for people like me. ray dyer not a little bit gracie in charge of the hospital maybe. then here you have no risk peter is among hundreds of german investors who were advised to invest money into greek bonds to secure some cash for retirement but this is recent debt swap which cut the country's financial burden by more than one hundred billion euros swallowed their money despite guarantees in other words private german

investors are being forced to take to be bills now they're getting ready to sue the banks for what they claim was fraudulent advice and the governments of both greece and germany are not going their obligations. there is an agreement in one piece in germany that this money is secure from political risks it's really unclear why private investors should be responsible political games brussels is aiming to reduce greece's debt from one hundred sixty to one hundred twenty percent of g.d.p. by twenty twenty and the long term plan is supposed to attract over ninety five percent of private investors like peter moritz who bought greek bonds. and his achilles investment to usually money for retirement as of family support or medical treatment in many cases these people are very dependent on it up in greece cost austerity measures and ford prodded banking policies are already pushing some ordinary citizens to go to the most extreme forms of protest in turn to keep greece

from completely going under brussels is also willing to shock through its actions which are. in the pockets if you abuse outside the greek state putting money into sobering bonds is supposed to be one of the safest ways of an investment but apparently not when it comes to greece as the bond holders thought we invested using what was supposed to be sound advice but as it turned out for many they would have been nor better off than if they had just rolled the dice. the board was going off to germany. and the vision and for financial misdeeds auntie's mex kaiser and states you have it also weigh in on the state told the euro's i'm coming up at nineteen thirty g.m.t. the kaiser report looks at the problems of financial hardship. little by little the e.u. commission is taking on the role of legal guardian of the economic affairs of the member states yeah the girl with the dragon tattoo i remember that film she was

awarded this date and what you're saying is that that the the wards are being abused like the character in that film the girl the dragon tattoo and we see this all over the world so this argument that well the greek people brought this upon themselves or even the american homeowner brought this upon themselves by taking out mortgages is a false argument because everyone has become the ward of the various states and the state or their caretaker is unmercifully beating them in some kind of jack you know poor house scenario and this is being played out around the world. because reportedly where little later here naughty over fifteen hundred palestinian prisoners a stepping up to a month long hunger strike in protest against attention without challenge in israeli jails mass rallies

a putting their supporters against israeli soldiers every day and young children often end up bearing the brunt of their crackdowns as paula smith reports. i think the scenes are all too familiar children throwing stones soldiers brandishing rifles major confusion very often it's very difficult for the army to determine who throw stones but a message has to be sent to the local population but that won't be tolerated and the message is delivered brutally these children were playing in a side street in east jerusalem when undercover israeli soldiers attacked them and forced them into their vehicle. as for he caught me by the neck and started choking me he dragged me to the current threw me inside i told him i was hurting me but they said it's not their problem. i report issued by defense for children international found that in most cases children are wasted in the middle of the night they're blindfolded their hands are tied and they taken in

a military vehicle to an interrogation center by the time a child arrives here at off a prison he will have been detained for up to eight days in the end because of pressure almost or plead guilty but it's far from clear they really are. going to be told me the best way to get out is to confess they said they had four soldiers testimonies and it's testimony as one month in prison so i confess that i eventually said i did a little war but the truth says it by him is that he was at his grandparents' house for the festival of ied they'd been clashes between army and palestinian youths and the soldiers had started going from house to house rounding up youngsters. they wanted to take anyone they didn't care who i told them i wasn't throwing stones but they kept hitting me and saying we know it was you know aside from the arrests and illegal detentions in the last decade israeli forces have killed almost one and a half thousand palestinian children but the i.d.f. justifies its actions by saying many of them are used by adults as porn's one

incident that's been publicized a lot was when a fourteen year old palestinian boy was caught at a checkpoint with a suicide belt attached to him since june one thousand nine hundred sixty seven more than three quarters of a million palestinian men women and children have been through the israeli military courts a statistic that underscores the perpetual palestinian search for justice policy r.t.e. katon a village. still to come here on r.t. a spat over fat. not at the back because it actually. as a group of medical experts say that would obese is offensive resident in new york asks if it's politically incorrect or just stating a fact. also still to come traffic tales in india claims hundreds of lies every day so brave the roads to find out why the country has such a controversial safety. his story still to come but first the american dream is

a symbol of education and success but many are finding themselves left with a lifetime of debt trying to achieve it u.s. graduates can end up owing tens of thousands of dollars off to college in an economy where they then struggle to find a job now they question whether it's all worth it as a reporter explains. it's the heaviest investment a young american can make now becoming a trillion dollar ticking time bomb for the nation i have twenty thousand dollars forty thousand dollars and one hundred fifty thousand and that the u.s. student loan bubble has inflated larger than car or credit card debt in this ballooning crisis graduates now have financial deficits that rival home mortgages. are not in new york many have taken to the streets protesting against the an affordable cost of higher education we're already seeing a a large increase in the number of student loan defaults across the country and

that's coming at a rate that is similar to the rate when the when the mortgages mortgage loans started to default as well and like i said this has a cumulative effect and it's a downward spiral according to reports more than fifty percent of recent college graduates are unemployed or working wage jobs that don't even require a degree now unlike either that student that cannot be dismissed for bankruptcy this means loans that u.s. students and account for higher education policy for decades or possibly the rest of their lives mike freedman has a ph d. in biology and works as a part time teacher because he can't find a full time position it's the option of getting an education and then being in a state of financial or economic insecurity for the rest of your life according to the federal reserve bank of new york americans sixty years or older still owe thirty eight billion dollars in student debt and ten percent of that group is past

life here in moscow america is lifting restrictions on military sales to bahrain they were imposed back in october due to a bloody crackdown on the regime protests in the arab state that's despite the fact clashes there are still ongoing as rock police used tear gas and stun grenades to disperse an opposition rally near the capital manama on friday some u.s. analysts say this shows washington's to face to prove to arab uprisings. one of the frustrations of the people in bahrain is this is one the most organized this consistently nonviolent grown pro-democracy stronger fight in terms of portion of the population and the heart of the really it was the largest oh yeah string pro-democracy protests in the country and yet the united states stood by while the

bomb bahraini regime in support of the saudis and other u.s. allies were really crushed not just not just of persecuting the protesters but even sitting journalists to jail for daring to come or protest and doctors and nurses to jail for daring to. heal try to help the you know the wounded i wouldn't you know we seem to assume that was saddam hussein a lot of america however southeast asia not dictators we support like generally and mubarak and i think the for the problem of course of course i know it was too late for us to stop what happened. in tunisia egypt and yemen but thanks to bahrain's relatively small sized intervention by saudi troops and that pro-democracy story will unfortunately oh what was chris crushed just last weekend bahrain's leading human rights activist an outspoken critic of the ruling family

mind we're just out of it. it's quite funny. the streets of new delhi are the deadliest in india some estimate that at least five people die every day in collisions but while men are required to wear helmets when riding two wheelers which dominate the roads in delhi the city's high court hasn't been able to make mandatory helmet wearing a rule for women the issue has been particularly divisive in india's large sikh population think men are required by religion to wear a turban and since you can't wear a helmet on top of a turban all sikhs are exempt from the safety measure but since sikh women don't usually wear turbans i made it hard for law enforcement to identify a sikh woman from a non sikh woman so in the name of fairness to all women or accept from the world say oh. but indian women's issues over the helmets extends beyond just the sikh community women of all backgrounds in delhi opt not to wear

a helmet but this isn't about religious duty this is about plain old vanity on the me and i don't like wearing a helmet because when i go for a parrot is it spoils my makeup and my hair. experts say indian women routinely don't make safety a priority for men. to neglecting them so it's it's women are programmed to neglect themselves so if there is a. if there's any health crisis with the. money of the house then the mom is taken to adopt the woman. for now all over the home it will be put on hold and women will continue to commute hard hat free regardless of the risks preassure either r t new delhi india. around three thousand opposition supporters have gathered in the heart of the ukrainian capital kiev many of them demanding the release of jailed ex prime minister yulia tymoshenko the

offensive many are questioning whether using the medical term is politically incorrect new york resident went to chew the fat with people in the big apple. the u.k.'s national institute for health and clinical excellence has issued a guidance suggesting that the word obese might be too upsetting and derogatory to use is this a case of political correctness gone mad this week let's talk about that almost forty films is that when you were still heavy and someone called you obese with that offend you. have been called worse you know what's worse calling someone obese or calling someone fat. the same thing. so should we not address the facts because it actually you can dress up like that's just a race of toilet which disparity is real but it's bad for people a car at least the heart trouble and a diary to go for

a jerk go for. the sweet who's in charge of deciding when a word is leg and when and where it is the proper term will i mean you don't really want the government to be in charge of that that's for sure of anything yeah i mean the government shouldn't be in the in the in the game of policing what you say certainly of what you think you know what if someone called you whitey if somebody called me why do you have so the property accurate but if you were you would you be offended no so why do people take offense to some words and not other words. probably because they care about what other people think it's an insecurity so we should just stop caring about what other people think and then the whole p.c. thing will go away it's not like you should stop caring what other people think you should start caring more about what you think i think it's matters in the context that it's used like if you look at somebody and say damn they're obese that's in that context i think it's derogatory i think to say the word obese or say obesity

in general when you're talking about a condition is would not be derogatory just a statement of i'm a problem in a society maybe if we ever get this word to people to feel ok maybe a little be good for a while regular people so there's no problem and was he one think about what to take exactly like what are we afraid to college drug user and drug user exactly here this is this is being so way where we should escape from the problem by the problem that escaped from whether or not you think the word obese is derogatory the bottom line is it's also a medical condition and simply avoiding the word is not going to make the issue go away. in some states the moment coming up twenty six months past the hour here in moscow i'll be back with the headlines at home pos stay with us here and i'll see.

the people of the united states and our friends and allies will not live at the mercy of an outlaw regime that threatens the peace with weapons of mass murder his regime as an actor program to acquire and develop nuclear weapons and let there be no doubt about we know for a fact there are that there. is we're just being carried out into the direction of dr david kay respected scientist and former u.n. inspector was leading the weapons search in iraq we are determined to take this apart you have a tremendous a group of dedicated american men and women involved in this with the best assets of the intelligence community and football. david kay is not going to be done with this for quite some time david kay wants more time but he says it could take another six to nine months to make

a definitive finding ministration is asking congress for hundreds of millions more are six hundred million dollars to fund a continuing search you have not yet failed shiny pointy things that i would call a weapon before we can draw from conclusions we need to let the iraq survey group complete its work. we were all wrong probably in my judgment and that is most disturbing. sometimes the true patriot takes the unpopular course but helps the country have heard the stakes and even if they come this way now these contract patriotism is the last refuge of scoundrels and i think these are scoundrels they have no argument now they have no defense for what they did the country is in a terrible international security situation but i think it's perilous so they're attacking the patriotism of others.

to what extent and i would call them paid mercenaries how much are they going to be in your defense to protect your administration tonight and your successors none none you're saying the mercenaries like blackwater will not play a major role and. this is one of the issues over which we have immense attention but they will be here they will be they knocked as far as the afghan government in no way.
