four pm in moscow. good to have you with us here on r t a month of uncertainty ahead for europe with greece facing another election on june seventeenth that could decide its euro fate markets and banks already on edge as ifans runs out of cash while patience runs out over cuts but france's new anti austerity president francois hollande and germany's angela merkel are pledging to help greece stay in the euro more for marcie's peter all over and girl it. what we're seeing though at the moment is the new french president francois hollande and german chancellor angela merkel have both about see put their political differences behind them and try and work to sort out the problems in the eurozone namely those problems with greece now that came following the much anticipated meeting here in lynn now the greek president is be meeting with the country's political leaders as they try and

hash out a caretaker government this comes after they were unable to form a coalition government following recent elections they'll have to hold fresh elections next month in order to try and establish a government in the country after meeting with the heads of the greek central bank the greek president has said that the banking system in greece is weak however he has warned against panic but this comes after almost a billion u.s. dollars has been removed from greek banks in recent recent hours over the past twenty four hours or so now in terms of what's been going on from here in. the german chancellor has said that greece should remain within the euro zone now that sentiment is being backed up by francois hollande the new french president. saying no that it will be a long process and it's going to have to be taken step by step to try and get greece back on its feet we've heard from the italian industry minister on wednesday

saying that there is far as he's concerned as far as italy's consent they believe that the euro zone and you wrote a single currency could continue without greece however that sentiment isn't really backed up by analysts if greece goes then it sets a precedent that well if another country falls into a similar situation do they then leave the euro and where does that leave the single currency so if greece goes one of the other nations that economies are in trouble say one of the larger economies like spain or italy they're not could completely destroy the single currency. it would result in a whole host of treaties across europe having to be reevaluated in many cases really written to go back to what i'm saying during a meeting with francois alonso you referred to the the euro the single currency as a political. system not just a monetary system something that tied these countries together not just to pile

finance but also through their political systems as well so if greece was to leave that would set a well perhaps dangerous precedent for the future of the euro. british hero m.p. paul natal think saving the euro project is the key priority for both france and germany both hollande will both believe in the project they both believe not more than anything else and what they believe is that the euro has to stay and they will do anything to ensure that the euro remains that means that they will go cap in hand to the commission they will also transfer money from france from germany from other countries to greece the whole project is going to fail in the end they need to keep us there to go and they need to continue to transfer money down from northern europe to greece in particular why because they need to keep this project going because this project was never about economics it was always about ideology and they know if that greece falls out of your of them what will happen is that all

the countries will go to what we're suffering now a problems which when cooked up six months ago they were two years ago they were cooked up twelve years ago when this whole thing was put into play i mean the euro was always of alternate reality it was always about politics the idea that you could have germany and greece in the same currency was complete baloney from the start it was always going to fail quite frankly i think it would be better if we took a short sharp hit now basically throw good money after bad further down the line and it would fall anyway. tell us whether you think greece's crumbling economy will sound the death knell for the eurozone here the votes so far at r t. more than a third of you are convinced the euro destruction is inevitable in any case more than reporters say yes it will be the catalyst for a collapse eighteen percent think the euro zone will survive if greece is finally kicked out in the minority says not if merkel tightens our belts tell us what you think log on to r.t. dot com and click on our home page. and still to come this hour we learn why

bobbies in britain think that cuts are criminal. tens of thousands of police officers march against government they say is in danger in the public by tightening the purse strings in the wrong places. by the u.s. military has been given a not so warm welcome in the south china sea the details still to come. but first the trials began a former bosnian serb military commander in chief. who faces eleven charges of genocide and crimes against humanity during the yugoslav war in the one nine hundred ninety s. lot of he was arrested by serb forces near belgrade last year he's accused of the deaths of more than ten thousand civilians during the siege of sarajevo and for this ferber needs a massacre where more than seven thousand muslim men and boys were killed but some serbs still view as a national hero later this hour his son darko tells r t why or where his father's public support comes from. i am proud of his role in the war not

because i think that he's guilty of anything but because i know that he was doing his job to support and primarily our objective or. our society was to protect people from. being exposed to genocide and again. i think that the only part of supporting my father and is that in the so many people this isn't for me is a. terrible attack on the first because. defending ourselves from being exposed to genocide and my father has succeeded in this task and i'm proud of. all of his you know in the war. it's often hard to see a way out for israelis and palestinians still deeply at odds over their history and the lad what's worse is that the two peoples are taught to despise each other from

an early age but artie's policy has been trying to find one school that's bridging the divide. the own city the israeli palestinian puzzle might lie in these pages we arab and jewish children who never meet in person get to know each other only through the written would usually they're not named they're called arabs or israel's arabs which is a racist label and then they're represented is their primitive farmers i know my it's also always with the fia with a camel and with some kind of dress that nobody really wears in racist caricatures . and of course a terrorist but it's not much based in the palestinian textbooks the studio types here also pretty alarming the israeli jews. are invaders from europe they have nothing to do with this land and their basic. only criminals and therefore they are educated for

a long term war against them much of the problem stems from the fact that in israel jews and arabs go to different schools they study a different curriculum and sit different exams what's more because jewish schools are generally better funded the standard of education is higher but here is one school trying to get it right it is part of i o. s. as for peace of village with an equal number of both jewish and arab learners a sign from being an example of how both sides can learn together the most important lesson going toward here is understanding each other it's the first school of its kind in the country and receives no funding from the government in every classroom is an israeli and palestinian teacher and every lesson is taught in both hebrew and arabic some terms that was to ensure they be according to what is going. if there is. some. war the war and.

some they are coming for home with. all kinds of. ideas and. in their talking about in a particularly difficult place and these teachers are preparing for israel's independence day because while for israelis it's a national holiday for palestinians it's a catastrophe when the two teachers are standing in front of the till than the children are tense in their sometimes. it's like i'm here and i'm not here we assure them it's ok to speak about it it's not something bad this is history in we're supposed to speak about what happened and look for the future together but the challenge is big and the school uses his way he takes books which it has translated into arabic there are sections that talk about a so-called palestinian demographic nightmare and there are maps that ignore each other's existence what these books do especially history books they teach the

children not to historical discourse this is not the discourse of historians they teach them to hit this course of politicians and generals. and so until a different story is written and taught the lessons most israelis and palestinian children taken to the future for disney short of a real education for peace policy r t the true. increased u.s. military presence near the south china sea is fueling tension between washington and beijing a u.s. naval submarine has docked at a philippine port close to where chinese and filipino ships have been locked in a month long standoff the deadlock started after philippine authorities accuse the chinese boats of fishing illegally in their waters both countries claim the area as their own china is concerned that the u.s. presence in the region could mean washington is ready to get involved in the dispute just a month after annual war games strengthen relations between the u.s. and the philippines peter simons from the world socialist web site things americas

legal positioning could be aimed at putting intense pressure. on your suit is basically asserting its. military position in the south china sea i think this is going to want a number of different visits have you ever tried compliance not just to the philippines but also to. the job and brought up and down the coast on messages. elise what he delivered to china to the u.s. one time just military presence there and quite a good one. submarine are these these the life is that it does on the most of the money time it's the this is my goal each and they're sent to these very sensitive areas it also has an economic component to it with its seeking to put pressure on china to mike major concessions in that sphere as well.

one group that's going to be taught to attract back to the turbulent arab world is tourists visitor numbers in places like tunisia and egypt plummeted when the uprisings there flared while for years syria capitalized on its rich history and ancient cities but now is artie's oksana boyko reports as a vital source of income has all but dried up. he wanted to see the world but became a touring sensation himself martin at twenty eight year old boss driver from germany was on a year long by journey when he entered syria about two weeks ago and aware of the clashes he wrote all the way to homs and even managed to take pictures of it when two homes enter hama but the word of many here take points but even let me into the city center. it was quite a strange feeling you know nobody was in the world you could see what happened before but i never feared danger your dangerous for my safety while his home country of germany has kept

a fairly low profile in the diplomatic spat over the fate of syria he says he often hears locals complain about the western meddling in serious internal affairs i think the problem is that new is trying to tell you sometimes from seeing and you believe it at the news hour board to tell you different stories in the news inside of the country so i always thought it's just a problem that inside of syria but now many syrian people came here to their problems by coming out from the outside of the country or home visits or is like martin would be very welcome guests in syria these days but there are very few and far between the countries tourism industry was devastated by the revolution but the number of visitors slumping by more than ninety percent in a lap of the country's largest city and home to countless you know ask a heritage sites the ten percent occupancy rate is now considered a stroke of luck you know this is one of the sixty five rooms. an hour out of

the sixty five how many in the uk for more than five rooms and it's not just about lost profit in aleppo which some claim is the oldest continuously inhabited settlement on earth tourism has helped save vital landmarks such as remy martin. you gave a new lease of life to the four centuries old building ramy martini's not shy in criticizing the assad government for the slow pace of economic reforms yet he believes that's no reason to bring the whole country to the point of self-destruction nobody could imagine that could. get to such a situation like now at the beginning everybody was looking for freedom but afterwards when it comes to clashes and fire and killing and killing for nothing just only that you're with the government or against the government and kidnapping people

really we are sorry for syria to come like this what's made things even worse is that two thousand and ten the last year before the syrian uprising was the most successful on record for syria's tourism industry revenues jump by sixty percent prompting many to take out investment loans they're no longer able to repay no wonder many now feel bankrupted by the revolution in times of crisis tourism is always the first to fall and the last to recover and sarah learned the hard way what's ironic is that in order to rise from the ashes this country desperately needs visitors from the same nations that contributed to the current crisis actually work our. syria. argy dot com is on top of developments in syria with regular updates and analysis including laying down arms to get more learn how the supply of weapons owned by syria's opposition is skyrocketed during the cease fire

thirty five thousand officers from across england and wales demonstrating against government cuts they call criminal never before so many bodies on one beat the problem is never again these black caps represent the number of police officers who lose their jobs in the carts sixteen thousand over the next four years cuts they say that could seriously threaten public safety it will have an impact on the executive not just that perception of the police and its people we'll see if you will this is on the street and at the end of the day people see police police officers on the street they feel safe bitingly presence and that's just not going to happen egypt it was known as the baxter police force in the will and with these cuts it simply it will continue like that the police will be hit hard by government desperate to get more for less over five thousand officers have already been booted

off frontline policing in the past year alone police pay and pensions will also be slashed in a sweeping twenty percent cuts the thin blue lines about to get much thinner we will be able to provide a service that's it shooting it. feels. like almost it was committed to be able to provide that service for them as it was a direct result will be said to most of them it's not just police probation officers are up for the chopper too the government wants to replace them with machines are expected to look like this removing yet another barrier protecting the public they're supposed to stop criminals re offending with nothing but a series of yes no questions they'll be trialed first in parts of london but without a lie detector these machines aren't exactly the spanish inquisition. so nonsense to suggest that a machine could do the job of human being there's

a real likelihood in danger that public protection in britain will become noise if these machines are rolled up nationally. deviant behavior deterioration behavior will be maced on those people will go on and commit serious crimes against the public the government insists the machines to cut costs stating this is a misrepresentation the london probation trust is investigating a range of a normative approaches to low professionals to cut bureaucracy and spend their time more effectively with the offenders the supervised public protection will always be our priority not according to those charged with that role it's been four years since police officers last month three london the next time sure to be sooner than that if the government continues its squeeze on the bennetts london. were russian police raided a protest camp in central moscow that's been the center of opposition activity for more than a week
