deepening euro crisis and greece's possible exit from the single currency weigh heavy on the g eight summit in the us a scene largely as a key test of the group's ability to deliver. and in europe are sergey policies under fire with thousands of protesters expected to rally in the german financial center in frankfurt for fourth day. last israelis and palestinians who lost their loved ones or come together in the pursuit of peace and a sign of reconciliation that's becoming increasingly rare between the two sides. it's one o'clock here in moscow you're with us on r.t. i'm to bomb and say let's take

a look at our stories from nuclear security to the year 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 it's dead streak in greece that's expected to dominate the g eight summit with athens a teetering on the edge of exiting the euro and move that could rock the global economy artes and he said now has been following 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 it's a factor 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 with an election coming up he has to be able to continue to try to please 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 was that going to play in the policies that are or are not made at this camp david summit reporting from washington and you say no way. and while leaders settle into the g eight meeting in maryland the police and protesters and chicago gear up for the upcoming nato summit. occupy the cargo denies. and demands that nato disband will look at why occupy activists are lashing out at the alliance and how authorities are preparing to respond in just a few minutes when i see. the protest mood is also brewing in europe but they are the targets that capitalism and austerity policies in germany thousands are expected to rally in the country's financial capital frankfurt late on saturday marking the climax of a four day campaign called blocky prime peter oliver is in the 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. we'll be allowed to return. after this weekend protest although the solidarity between those railing on german streets and the greek people unhappy about social cut ties between the leadership of the two countries are only weakened athens accuses german chancellor angela merkel of interfering into greek phase after she reportedly suggested the debt stricken nation should hold a referendum on its membership of the europe but the german government strongly denies making such claims find out more about the raging row by logging onto our website at r.t. dot com. demonstrations have taken center stage in the gulf where tens of

united in grief israelis and palestinians who lost loved ones or to the region's long lost in conflict are coming together for a common cause they in a gatherings these people share their experiences in a bid to increase understanding em bring about peace a goal that still seems very far from reach artie's policy has a story and is this headed that the my son must cute was a very hard day for me the i remember grabbing my son trembling all over and running to the bomb shelter. to mothers to testimonies each different but in the end the same. my son died in the line of duty death isn't a words it has a form and the form isn't pretty i've seen plenty of it but it takes a lot of courage to stay deaf in the face and then embrace one's enemy and yet for nearly twenty years this is what these israelis and palestinians we've lost family members have been doing they meet on a regular basis to talk with one another and show that reconsideration is possible

it's meaningful for me that the palestinians here about my brother brother was a soldier in the army and they can list 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 wall he was just nineteen people were put in a situation of a conflict and everybody served his side of the the finger. this is their duty to their yes to their nation to their belief. two uncles were killed by israelis one was shot dead while trying to enter israel the other was forced fed while on a hunger strike imprisoned 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 or an 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

are 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 to have dialogue and coordination between the israeli and palestinian peace. is eroding. because the legitimacy of negotiations is not a road and 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 the numbers 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

windy city of chicago turned sunny turned paranoid the hometown of the u.s. president please host to this year's nato summit nato is a u.s. commanded military alliance responsible for wars and war crimes on a global basis already the most watched city in the u.s. . as thousands of protesters begin to descend on chicago the city is in security overkill mode you got a bunch of peaceful protesters here who spent millions and millions of dollars for this week alone i mean to buy apparently absurd police have reportedly preemptively raided the homes of protest organizers battered down a door and made several arrests and we believe these are politically based arrests millions of dollars spent on a 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 why would was. 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 sascha. 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 block kick off nato is organization no longer has a mandate to occupy chicago denies and demands that nato disband they have no more purpose they're spending our taxpayer dollars on wars to bomb and destroy and

murder civilians all over the world where the 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 secure oil fields for american oil companies these are purely economic wars that are sold to the american public purely on propaganda it's garbage the 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 the world's preeminent war making 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 and r.t.e. chicago illinois. later today the regime in the u.s.

is examined as we take a look at the timeline of the occupy movement and a special report. we have to begin to identify those goals you've been. pushing. for me. just the. same. as i keep our people to a similar bed here it is a bunch of losers but i have a very good job. people have jobs here that's all nonsense they would have jobs they're losers. i. live in the. world. for.

a. personal defense courses can help you protect yourself in a violent situation what techniques of that teach you how to punch kick and even killed but do these practices take tactics too far resident as 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 is being threatened. absolutely has your life ever been threatened. now by a person of a 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 to 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 heard someone on the or kill someone no mother in will to trace and 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 south now the country's oil industry has cast a shadow over the city and extending a pipeline through the archaeological site iraq expert in my groggy believes the nation's elite have put a price tag on badlands history. for the nonce one 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. legislation there's been delayed for the last six months but worst of all companies have basically riding roughshod over this legislation because they're signing contracts with the kurdish region in the lower third there oversee doing low oil contracts with the oil pipeline providers in the south to another 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 oil companies and all the oil companies are worse than all companies the all workers that there are there and the security service is there protecting your 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 the gets builds will benefit the actual corporations the transport in the infrastructure and
