deeply euro crisis and greece's possible exit from the single currency you weigh heavy on the g eight summit in the u.s. seen largely as a key test of the group's ability to deliver. and in the euro but also directly policies are under fire with thousands of protesters expected to rally in the german financial center in frankfurt for fourth day. plus israelis and palestinians who lost their loved ones come together in the pursuit of peace and a sign of reconciliation that's becoming increasingly rare between the two sides. twenty four hours a day seven days a week of this is our t.v.

i'm to bomb would say what the latest news this hour first from nuclear security to the euro uncertainty leaders of the world's top industrialized nations have plenty to chew on as a whole crunch talks at the u.s. presidential retreat near washington but its debt stricken greece that's expected to dominate the g eight summit with athens are teetering on the edge of exiting the euro a move that could drag the global economy artie's an isa now has been following the events. by a lot of people it's seen as sort of a last chance for the jihad as a form it to prove itself it's been under heavy criticism in recent years over its a fact of this with that said a lot of the world's most pressing issues are at center stage including the situation in syria and across the mideast and the euro crisis that's an issue that has been heavily focused on of course host president obama has already met with the new french president francois hollande there he's trying to get other european leaders to sort of convince the socialist president about these heavy all staring

the measures that a lot of the leaders are pushing in terms of trying to deal with the euro crisis and it's being said that if obama can get the european leaders on that on the same page this summit will be in some way a sort of a success another issue that's going to be discussed is the european embargo on iranian oil the u.s. sees it as something that's threatening oil prices sending them up or at least could imagine seen as a threat to obama's reelection president obama in a way he has his hands tied to with that election coming up he has to be able to continue to try to leave voters and also find a balance between domestic and foreign policy and reassure these global leaders but it's going to be very difficult especially on the situation with iran when you're running for election you can't seem weak on defense of the same time the white house understands that if this european embargo goes ahead it's going to send oil prices up in the u.s.

and that is certainly going to affect the way voters look at their president and whether or not to real like him so this is something that's really weighing down the fact that it's an election year and how is that going to play on the policies that are or are not made at this camp david summit reporting from washington and used in the way archie and will lead to settle into the g eight meeting in maryland police and protesters in chicago gear up for the upcoming nato summit are you going to go tonight. demands that nato disband. we look at why occupy activists are lashing out at the alliance and how authorities are preparing to respond in just a few minutes on r.t. . the protest mood is also growing in europe but this time capitalism and austerity policies are the targets in germany thousands are expected to rally in the country's financial capital frankfurt marking the climax of a four day campaign called block of time i g.'s peter is in this city germany seems

to be the only economy that's doing anything good anything that has anything in the black in their balance sheets when it comes to their economies however there is on rest here in frankfurt now that's because the city is the largest financial hub in europe and it's also the home to the european central bank now on friday we saw protests taking place around a thousand people were out on the streets demonstrating in some four hundred were detained this is after people tore down traffic signs tried to erect barricades to try to put up banners around the city there is a very strong police presence on the streets of frankfurt at the minute this is due to it being a holiday weekend so it's expected the protesters not just from germany though as well expecting to see protesters from across the continent coming here and saturday is going to see one of the largest demonstrations against the current financial systems that are in place across the country it's called block pupae this is

whereby the protesters are trying to stop the european central bank from stop people from being able to to get there to do business there and to get a stranglehold on the bank they want to see more socialist economic policy implemented across europe they're also going to be joined by the leftist group attack the protest movement here in frankfurt isn't anything new since october last year there was an occupy camp established next to the european central bank headquarters that was cleaned out on wednesday this last week and they've been told though they will be allowed to return on sunday after this weekend's protests. although the solidarity between those rallying on german streets and the greek people unhappy about social cuts ties between the leadership of the two countries have only weekend athens accuses german chancellor angela merkel of interfering into greek vets after she reported to suggest that the debt stricken nation should hold a river referendum on its membership operate in europe but the german government

a form and the form isn't pretty look i've seen plenty of it but it takes a lot of courage to stay deaf in the face and then embrace one's in the wrong way and yet when only twenty years this is what these israelis and palestinians who lost family members have been doing all they meet on a regular basis to talk with one another and show that reconsideration is possible it's meaningful for me that the palestinian we hear about my brother brother was a soldier of the army and they can listen they can empathize with my story and understand the pain that i went through i had it's brother was serving as a soldier when he was killed on the third day of the first lebanon war he was just nineteen people were put in a situation of a conflict thing everybody serves his side of the the finger. this is their duty to the. rest of their nation to. believe. that two uncles were killed by israelis one was shot dead while trying to enter israel the other was force fed while on

a hunger strike in prison and his lungs collapsed. from the time i was born i was part of this conflict for me and is really was a soldier or a settler agent of the security services. and he had both heard and i have found their way to the parents circle where half the members of palestinian half israeli. but the parents circle is a minority voice the number of israelis and palestinians participating in dialogue has hit a low ebb as many complain they see no point in the conciliation attempts while the peace process is at a stalemate because the legitimacy. of dialogue and coordination between the israeli and palestinian peace camp is eroding. because the legitimacy of negotiations is eroding if the our governments which are ready to pay the price they will find him very big support in their people so there is no.

in that number. but there is an erosion in the in the belief that something like this can happen in this is something that can easily be fixed but the hope lives on in these families who believe that through their pain and through their example change can come policy r t tel aviv. remember there's always a wealth of other stories on our website at our t. dot com here's what's online right now the facebook status that destroyed a marriage landing the indian newlyweds in divorce court we've got the details at r.t. dot com. plus a shocking video allegedly showing a bad being sold at auction for the purpose of tara find out more on our website.

organizers they battered down a door and made several arrests and we believe these are politically based arrests millions of dollars spent on new police gear trucks ready to function as rolling barricades businesses too are taking no chances what looks like a foreclosed building is actually a hotel in the heart of chicago plywood was put up in order to avoid windows being smashed by demonstrators flooding into town office workers have been advised to dress like protesters in order to not be targeted. are likely meanwhile activists there to express their outrage at nato is aggressive policies are blocked off and kept as far away from world leaders as possible we're talking about a peaceful protest and peaceful people but peaceful people dedicated to the cause of peace against a military block the mightiest in human history and they are being portrayed as the

force that needs to be protected while officials brace for riots know your rights trainings for demonstrators in their mind you know your brain meetings and street action against the military bloc kick off nato is organization no longer has a mandate to occupy chicago denies and demands that nato disband they have no more purpose there spending our taxpayer dollars on wars and to bomb and destroy and murder civilians all over the world with ghana stand top of the leaders agenda protesters say it's time to put an end to the warfare at once the only reason we're still in afghanistan is for rare earth minerals and open the same reason the only reason we went into iraq was to secure oil fields for american oil companies these are purely economic rewards that are sold to the american public purely on propaganda it's garbage demonstrators want the money pumped into the summit and its security to be spent on real needs there is no peace majority in the united states we oppose war we oppose the war in worlds per year. warmaking organization. and

we have a human agenda and a humane agenda that has no place for war but fences separating politicians from the people that human agenda is no more than a nuisance to be cordoned off. r.t.e. chicago illinois. later today the rage in the us is examined as we take a look at the timeline of the occupy movement in our special report. we have to begin to identify those. that. push. me. just.

as i keep our people similar. to that bunch of losers but i have a very good job. people have jobs here that's all nonsense they're losers. over. here. for. a now personal defense courses can help you protect yourself in a violent situation with techniques that teach you how to punch kick and even killed but do these practices a take texas to form resident is on the streets of new york to find out. former u.s. navy seal tim larkin teaches people how to kill and maim in the name of self defense how much is too much when it comes to protecting yourself this week let's

talk about that do you think it would be ok to kill someone if your life was being threatened. absolutely has your life ever been threatened. now by a person what are the chances that your life will be threatened that you would need to know how to kill. one in ten to the twenty eight you're familiar with ten mark and do you support his philosophy i completely support his philosophy he does he's not anything about trying to kill people he wants to help people be able to protect themselves but he does teach moves that are lethal yes the police teach moves that are lethal as well great but those people are in a job that's defending the public exactly you know what when you're in the military sometimes those guys come out and they're a little bit you know world still do you want them sharing their knowledge with common citizens walking around. you know no would come in citizens just people that maybe. are in the job situations where they're in dangerous positions in the world

if you think you'd be able to kill someone if someone was threatening your life. it's tough to say until you there right yes but you probably happy you knew those moves that. well you know maybe but then if you hurt someone or kill someone no mother in what situation you can live you have to live with the forest of your life and that's the option each person has to make whether or not you think self-defense can go too far the bottom line is the world can be a crazy place whether you choose to prepare yourself for violence or not. the ancient iraqi city of babylon once painted a prestigious picture in the nation's self now the country's oil industry has cast a shadow over the city and extending

a pipeline through the ideological site iraq expert mike ruddy believes that the nation's elite have put a price tag on badlands history for the nonce nine percent of us. the heritage of the cradle of civilization and the history of iraq is more important but those who serve the elites and the global oil companies to them world heritage and antiquities mean nothing to them and the end of the most important thing is the mighty dollar part of the problem of the moment is the people are debating about the oil legislation this has been delayed for the last six months but worse than all companies have basically riding roughshod over this legislation because they're signing contracts with the kurdish region in the lower third there oversea doing low oil contracts with the oil pipeline providers in the south too and none of the legislation is actually in place so it seems to me that the oil companies are fully aware that the legislation that will be in place to benefit them no

matter what happens to the iraqi people the legislation is always going to benefit the all companies and all the oil companies are worse than all companies the all workers that there are there and the security services the protecting the all workers all westerners at the moment there's very few iraqi oil workers actually benefiting from this directly as i say most of the infrastructure that gets builds will benefit the actual corporations the transport in the infrastructure and as in the old pipeline that's going through the the what should be a world heritage site. taking a look at other news from around the world this hour we will stand up and the bell is well in the prison end of friday when all of the inmates and left at the jail for other prisons officers spent several days trying to persuade more than sixteen hundred prisoners some of them armed to leave the jail so it could be shut down venezuela visuals had announced plans to close the jail to escape attempts and complained of overcrowding. thousands of empty regime activists have taken to the streets in the northern syrian city of aleppo where human rights groups say people

dreaming of the farm life however there is now a solution that people in the russian capital can go through to do without leaving the city life behind. mad that has the story. this is farmville played by tens of millions in the game you have to play water and harvest increasingly exotic but ultimately two dimensional and utterly notable crops but now anyone can play the game for real the russian entrepreneur has bought a greenhouse and designed a website. real plots of land from the comfort of their homes and offices. if you buy one of the plots you can choose what to grow on it then you can decide when to water it and how to fertilize it and real farmers will do the work for you you can control the lights and how often the ground is plowed we will keep statistics on how well you are doing and you can try to improve the or you can just

leave it all to us and just get the harvest delivered when it's done then you'll sharpen it of says that his project isn't just about playing for fun but about the living people healthier forgot make food and it better be after all a six meter plot will set you back two hundred dollars a month. one city dwellers to have a connection with the countryside in the future we want every city dweller have their own garden early adopter repeat that says he's addicted to watching his plans grow through the web cam but i think being able to watch the plot at all times isn't just something of a past time but creates trust between me and the people looking after the farm i know they will do their job properly and not use any pesticides for example all good but truly it's all this not just some sort of post-modern perversion i decided to prove that city dwellers are scared to get their hands dirty by volunteering for an hour in the greenhouse. getting other people to be
