g eight leaders publicly voice hopes of keeping greece in the hottest of the euro but could they be secretly hoping for the end of athens fiscal agony. germany's financial help frankfurt is brought to a standstill as thousands of police flood the city in a bid to contain a fourth day of anti bank protests. opposing sides in the same plea for most of loved ones brings israelis and palestinians together in a unique when i say she's seeking better understanding between conflicting sides on top stories this hour. international news and comment twenty four hours a day this is. the european financial gloom is costing it shadow over the g eight

summit at the u.s. presidential retreat near washington the leaders of the world's top industrialized nations have expressed hope that stricken greece will remain in the euro zone despite widespread fears it could soon put out. this is david. europe's economy has dominated the talks then what else has been said at the g eight today. but some of the most pressing issues like iran nuclear program and syria were certainly taj president obama spoke about that earlier this morning that basically the g eight countries are pretty much united on most of those issues but this is a euro crisis really did overshadow the summit some might even criticize it took away from some other issues perhaps the course that the million dollar question will greece leave the euro zone now although in the communique we're going to hear about this united effort that's going to continue to try to make sure that doesn't happen there's a lot of gasoline. going on behind closed doors we heard very frank conversations

and also perhaps a lot more fear from these leaders that we see of course publicly this monster we have to keep greece in the euro zone that behind closed doors it could be of much different story but again coming out of this camp david summit will once again hearing from leaders that they're going to do all they can to try to make sure that they don't exit the euro zone of course experts saying that that's almost impossible at this point let's talk about the reaction to president putin's new show at this summit it's something of a media doesn't it. it has indeed putin's skipping that this g eight summit has been a really big piece of focus for the media mostly most of the politicians here seem to not be very offended by it they know he's coming to the g twenty really a lot of the experts that we've been spoken to a look at it quite logically it was pretty predictable that the euro crisis was going to overtake this summit that's something that's not of grave concern to

russia yes of course russia wants to help they want to be part of discussions but it's not something that russia sees that one's as one of its most pressing issues that it should have to come out and deal with at a summit like this. the russian economy is ok and president. hu one hundred dollars a barrel so therefore russia feels in a strong position so president putin couldn't really contribute anything. to a solution he could say right you have to solve your debt problem germany perhaps shouldn't extend more to other members of the european union and so on but basically. most of the discussions would be economic and affect the vital interests of the european union and also president obama because who bomb has realized that if there's a uniform out in europe he will affect his chances in america will affect the u.s. economy. obama of course. realizes very much so and is working very hard to

be reelected so if fallout from that euro crisis does start to be felt by common americans who are going to be heading to the polls in november that's a huge threat to obama and he most certainly understands that perhaps that's why we saw the euro crisis take over this year at camp david. and he said thanks very much indeed for that and he's in our live there at camp david in the united states and journalist charlie mcgrath who's the founder of the online service wide awake news says that greece is just a small part of a much wider problem the problem isn't just greece greece is a relatively small economy the problem is the european debt period and you know nobody's addressing the real problem which is these banks that it will load up the debt on all these countries they've issued this debt but everything under the sun is being tried to see these too big to fail institutions from having to realize any kind of a loss and this is why i think over the last couple years we've seen seen things like the european stability mechanism the. one i do yeah after another that brings

a little bit of hope to the markets and then fails quickly i think it's real simple you're not going to solve it by throwing countries further into debt and while leaders settle into the g eight meeting in maryland police in chicago readying themselves for the upcoming nato summit. occupy chicago denies and demands that nato disband. nato demonstrators plan the show is straight from the streets in the hope of grabbing the attention of not just those attending but the whole world. alex ation that's what tens of thousands of protesters in the middle east a calling new arab union plans it comes after saudi arabia said it wants to form an alliance with bahrain paving the way for an e.u. style of integration independent political analyst dan glazebrook explains why he thinks the bahraini government is so supportive of the plan. bahrain's government is enthusiastic for the very reason that the bahraini people are an enthusiastic

because it's going to legitimize and systematize the saudi involvement in crushing the bahraini revolution drowning the bahraini revolution in in blood seventy percent of the population sheer and increasingly actually systematically excluded from any positions of influence power effectively disenfranchised always have been in this regime and you know we have to ask why what's in it for saudi arabia and i answered that it's crucial to remember saudi arabia doesn't have an independent foreign policy never has done its foreign policy like those of the other gulf states is formulated in washington and london so we really have to ask why the colonial powers britain and france and of course now the u.s. why are they pursuing this course and i think we have to understand this in terms of the preparations which have been underway for several years now for an aerial strike against iran which is still on the on the table the crushing of the bahraini resistance is crucial to the war plans against iran because it was the biggest

deterrent to an attack on iran is of course the fear amongst the west the elites in israel that actually the sheer population in other countries will rise up. and start to resist that attack on iran so actually what the crushing of the bahraini revolution is all to do with trying to preemptively destroy any potential resistance to the coming attack on iran. or to live here in moscow within twenty four hours a day still ahead deadly defense. is going to go a little bit little wild bill do you want them sharing their knowledge with government that at them fucking around. with the people in new york where the skills of the u.s. navy seals should really be shared with the public. gardening by the click of a mouse muscovites now can farm without even having to leave their homes by giving

commands online. their stories still to come first continue demonstrations are put germany's banking capital frankfurt into lockdown standing in battle lines since early morning thousands of police officers and bulletproof vests entrenched themselves around the city they were there to guard against fresh protests by the country's block your pike and banking movement. is in frankfurt. these protesters have taken to the streets of frankfurt to voice their displeasure at what they see as unfair all sturdy measures that are being imposed on the eurozone at the moment now right now among these people as they march towards the headquarters of the european central bank that has really been a center for protest against the current crisis in the austerity measures that have been imposed across europe but today on saturday is the largest of the demonstrations as you can see this group behind me around fifteen thousand people

we were hearing from the organizers on friday were expected to turn up they could actually be quite a few more here it's quite difficult to see from where i am but it certainly stretches back quite a long way now they're angry that it's the not the people who caused the debt crisis in europe that are having to foot the bill for it they blame the bankers they blame the. the people who risked the money in countries like greece in countries like as spain that got people in got the countries in such trouble saying it's them should face the the brunt of this not people who are going to suffer at the hand of austerity measures it's worth noting that this is been a very peaceful protest movement but despite that on friday around four hundred people would detained by very heavily equipped police offices that have been essentially blocking off the whole of central front first the movement itself has called themselves lucky pipe instead of occupy is they attempted to block people

from reaching the banking sectors or the banking services of europe's largest banking center in frankfurt this is the the real hope of not just german banking but of european banking in general and as i say the ad quarters of the european central bank located here people over there in the herman who's at the protests also describe some of the police tactics which she saw that she says they go will be on the lol. here is this. movement people are not allowed any merit anymore to enter the in their city yet this is something that this completely new in this country and that not only remember so police can be seen around the demonstrators but also that that individual people are picked out names are listed and before the manifestation starts they are not allowed anymore to and that the city and this is that going down business sort of eurasia enough democratic rights

what happened is that they control the brocaded distrait and then they control the everybody and to individual people they said. we want to see your passport so then they control. their database and said no you are not allowed to enter to square because we suppose you will do something illegal. a common grief is uniting israelis and palestinians who've lost loved ones to the long lost in conflict between them it's a unique gathering of suffering parents who want to increase understanding and bring peace closer but their goal is all but out of reach as policy reports. that the my son was killed was a very hard day for me 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 word it has

a form and the form isn't pretty i've seen plenty of it so 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 who have lost family members have been doing they meet on a regular basis talk with one another and show that we conciliation is possible it's meaningful for the palestinians we hear about their brother brother will fall to 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 things. this is there and he wanted to do. it here through their nation through 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 in prison and his lungs collapsed. from the time i was born i was part of this conflict for me and israeli 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 parent circle where half the members of palestinian half israeli. but the parent 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. is eroding. because the legitimacy of negotiations is not a road and if there are governments which are ready to pay the price they will find 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. when a website called me can find more news from the middle east including an israeli spy butterfly the country's about of the smallest surveillance drone in the world designed to make itself at home in anyone's house and the pentagon brands china hackers breeding ground calling it the significant threat to america's cyber security find out what this could lead to it will come. here the reindeer is everything for the herders. and when it suffers.

people do their best to help. but the distances are. and the roads are. alive here in moscow thousands of protesters of flooded chicago ahead of

a nato summit on sunday he showdown is expected later with police already and hunted around a dozen activists were arrested on the eve of the gathering three would challenge with conspiracy to cause terror. the windy city of chicago turned sunny turned paranoid the hometown of the u.s. president plays 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 they spent millions and millions of dollars for this week alone i mean by absolutely absurd. police have reportedly preemptively raided the homes of protest 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 sasha. played 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 bloc 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. 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. will be bringing extended coverage of the nato summit in chicago throughout sunday and monday. say thanks. to. the trust. so defense courses in the u.s. teach people to protect themselves by punching kicking and even killing but should these tactics really be taught to everyone present new york to hit the streets of the big apple to gauge opinion that. 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 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. no 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 be happy you knew those moves then. well you know maybe but then if you heard some 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 of the world can be a crazy place whether you choose to prepare yourself for violence or not. now let's take a look at some other news making headlines around the world at this stage of the day a school in southern italy rocked by an explosion killing at least one teenage girl

and injuring up to a dozen the bomb went off outside the building's entrance from peoples were arriving for morning classes no one has claimed responsibility for the attack though officials believe the city's maffia could be behind it. tens of thousands of people in taiwan are taking part in a mass run against the country's government testers angry over the president's economic policies marched through the streets of taipei before a gathering in front of the presidential office building demonstration comes just one day before president. is inaugurated for a second four year term. the first commercial cargo flight that was expected to deliver supplies to the international space station has been aborted just seconds before blast off the california based space x. company blamed technical problems with the dragon rockets engine and is now the launch for may twenty second the u.s. government has given the firm a contract to keep the stocked with food and equipment. but you have your own garden where you can grow fruit and vege without ever picking up a spade or even leaving your desk well that's

a reality for muscovites you can now remotely turn their crops and have the fruits of their labor delivered to the doorstep of now has the story. this is farmville played by tens of millions in the game you have to plant water and harvest increasingly exotic but ultimately two dimensional and lean edible crops but now anyone can play the game for real the russian entrepreneur has bought a greenhouse and designed a website. to farm real plots of land from the comfort of their homes and offices. or. 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

shop a cynic of says that his project isn't just about playing for fun but about delivering people healthier forgot make food and it better be after all a six meter plot will set you back two hundred dollars a month we want city dwellers to have a connection with the countryside in the future we want every city dweller have their own garden early adopter beat that says he's addicted to watching his plan to 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 a god that's ridiculous actually this is quite exhausting
