tens of thousands of spaniards begin a four day marathon of and sturdy protests all targeted against the government's programme of tax hikes and spending cuts. but eurozone exit looms for greece's major differences told the latest coalition talks with the president leading a final charge for unity. rallies in support of hundreds of palestinian prisoners on hunger strike in israeli jails faced brutal crackdowns by the israeli military with the youngest protesters often bearing the brunt. and u.s. students bogged down in debts facing a lifetime of loan repayments while struggling to find jobs now counting the true cost of their education.

on screen this is a t live from moscow with twenty four hours a day the indignance that's what the tens of thousands of spaniards angered with the government's relentless to sturdy accord and then movement and today they're out in force protests are being staged as many as eighty spanish cities with supporting demonstrations across europe the people are demanding an end to cuts to the public services from health to education badly underfunded spain's also currently experiencing record unemployment with one in four out of work but for many spaniards it's the system of government itself that's the problem. we are here in the quarter that is sorely madrid which is the main square for different marches gather here this meeting which tries to commemorate the one year ago by the society expressed how much fed up they were with their feelings and how

much they wanted the political landscape and also the economic reform against the crisis how much they wanted it to revert these people want to take part in politics and they won't they cannot take part in politics because they have reached the conclusion that voting does not reflect public opinion because only two main parties can government and actually it's a bipartisan system they factor. in both main parties coincide fully in their economic measures. meanwhile it's the austerity endgame in athens where political leaders have become a last ditch efforts to form a coalition if they fail greece would have to stage a new election one that could result in its exit from the eurozone they use also deeply worried over the possible consequences but maintains greece's exit won't be fatal political analysts talk to others and the police chief says the issue shouldn't be about preserving the euro but helping the people. 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 picture 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 the number is in line with the past years i'm sure the same thing has been said to ben ali by its own statisticians but that is not the point it's not about numbers it is that is about politics and political perception so i think that the situation at least in some countries it is really really poor are something very similar to an arab

revolution. as uncertainty builds in athens so is anger mounting across the e.u. private german investors many of them pensioners are especially furious they claim they were intentionally duped into investing into doomed greek bonds all in the name of agenda driven politics. reports now from germany. imagine most of your retirement savings gone with the stroke of a pen and this man certainly knows how to feels peter moritz invested his savings into greek southern bonds after being guaranteed his money was protected by the government but soon the retired banker realized he was and played in his own game they are looking for people like me. re dyer's not a little bit gracie in short of the hospital maybe here 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 greece's 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 pay greek 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 for not fulfilling their obligations if. there is an agreement between greece and germany that this money is secure from political risks it's really unclear why private investors should be responsible for political gains brussels is aiming to reduce greece's debt from one hundred sixty to one hundred twenty percent of g.d.p. by two thousand and twenty and the long term plan is supposed to attract over ninety five percent of private investors like peter moritz who bought greek bonds.

these investments are usually money for retirement family support or medical treatment in many cases these people are very dependent on it. in greece constant austerity measures and hard hearted 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. pockets of you abuse outside the greek state putting money into seven bonds is supposed to be one of the safest ways of investment but apparently not when it comes to greece since the bondholders start 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 the day. you got this going off r.t. germany. ever vigilant for financial misdeeds artie's max kaiser and stacy herbert also weigh in on the state of the eurozone and around twenty five minutes the

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 award of this day 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 drought kone and you know poor house scenario and this is being played out around the world.

because report coming your way to later hear a naughty over fifteen hundred palestinian prisoners a stepping up that month long hunger strike in protest against detention without charge in israeli jails mass rallies of putting their supporters against israeli soldiers every day and young children often end up bearing the brunt of their crackdowns as paula smith now reports. 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 the vehicle i would want them stressful. he caught me by the neck and started choking me he drug 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 arrested in the middle of the night they were 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 all plead guilty but it's far from clear they really are relatively good in that they 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 confessed i eventually said i did it. 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. 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 pawns one incident that's been publicized a lot was when a fourteen year old palestinian boy was quarter to 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. katon a village ten minutes past the hour now here in the russian capital still to come this hour a spat over fast. but though she would not address the fact because it actually you can dress of oh that's just a waste of oil. as a group of medical experts say the word of bees is offensive our resident in new

a lot of america africa southeast asia not dictators we support like you know mentally and mubarak and i think for the problem of course of course you know it was too late us to stop what happened. in tunisia egypt and yemen but thanks to bahrain dreams of the small size of the intervention by saudi troops that pro-democracy story well unfortunately you know what was cause crushed just last weekend bahrain's leading human rights activist an outspoken critic of the ruling family was detained in the country in charge with inciting protests through social networks jobs arrest comes just after he was interviewed on june in the sunday show here in r.t. and go to the special section on our website you don't come to watch that interview . and speak to two leading revolutionaries one from the right where the revolution failed

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 were at them from the safety master but since sikh women don't you see where it's terrible i made it hard for law enforcement to identify the woman from a non sikh woman so in the name of fairness to all women are exempt from the sale. 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 mainland i don't like wearing a helmet because when i go for part is it spoils my makeup and my. here. experts say indian women routinely don't make safety a priority to men are they used to neglecting them so it's we women are programmed to neglect themselves so if there is

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 a case of political correctness gone mad this week let's talk about that last forty films is that when you were still heavy and someone called you obese with that offend you. been called worse you know what's worse calling someone obese or calling someone fat. the same thing like the. piece of the so should we not address the facts because it actually you can dress up like that's just a race a toy or. just better things we don't but it's bad for people it caught at least the heart trouble and a diary because for choke. who is in charge of deciding what to wear to slang and what and where it is the proper term will i mean you do you don't really want the government to be in charge of that that's for sure you have anything yeah i mean the government shouldn't be in the in the in the game of policing what you say
