big drays means he wraps up with the leaders public voices talking over plans to keep greece in the harness of the euro while talks behind closed doors suggest a different agenda for greece's financial strife. also journey financial hot frying but it is brought to a standstill worth thousands of police flood the city in a bid to contain a full day of antibiotic protests. the opposite sides of the same believe the loss of loved ones brings these rallies and palestinians together in a unique organization seeking better understanding between conflicting sides.
8:01 pm
hello and welcome to r.t. twenty four hour news live from moscow i mean our top story now the group of aid to meeting has ended with no solid agreements having been achieved russia's prime minister dmitry medvedev underlined his view that keeping greece in the euro zone is a top priority and that stimulating growth is vital he's an isa now it is at camp david . 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 the euro crisis really did overshadow the summit some might even criticize it took away from some other issues perhaps of course that 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 not a lot of guessing going on behind closed doors we heard very frank conversations
8:02 pm
and also perhaps a lot more fear from these leaders that we see of course publicly this monster of we have to keep greece in the euro zone that behind closed doors it could be a much different story but again coming out of this camp david summit well 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 say that that's almost impossible at this point the russian economy is ok and president. one hundred dollars a bio so the russian feels in a strong position so president putin couldn't really contribute anything. you could say right you have to. germany perhaps. to other members of the european union and so on but. most of the discussions would be economic. interests of the european union and also president obama because who bomb has realized that if there's a uniform in europe he will affect his chances in america it will affect the u.s.
8:03 pm
economy through skipping the 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 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 is as one of its most pressing issues that it should have to come out and deal with at a summit like this. and as they are struggling eurozone dominates chase the global elite plans for a better currency than the euro according to international consultant and author. of the mark of these so to speak because in a way if greece pulls out of the euro it will be a blessing in the way that a crisis affecting the euro would have gone away with the disappearance but at the
8:04 pm
same time as a precedent it would be terrible because of greece were to resolve its problems by reverting back to its sovereign currency which i think they should then other countries will be tempted to do the same if you look at the very big picture what we are seeing is the gradual and perhaps controlled demise of the us dollar hyperinflation which will eventually have to face up with and of the euro through a fracture or a splitting up of the europe i think we have to look at what the global power elites embedded inside america inside europe and the u.k. have a far as a week placement global currency is to think that in the next couple of years that's where we are growing and they're just biding their time to do it at the time they will be best for the bankers and definitely it will be best for the peoples of all these countries. the leaders drift away from the drapes to meet again maryland police and chicago raising themselves for the upcoming nato summit. arguably denies

demands that nato disband. to nato demonstrators plan a sheilds trunks on the streets robbing. the term day of the whole. sation about what turns off thousands of protesters in the middle east are calling you are bunion plans it comes after saudi arabia has said it will still form an alliance with bahrain paving the way twenty used tile integration and independent political analyst donna glazed explains why he brings the bahraini government are so keen on 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 are sheer and increasingly actually systematically excluded from any positions of influence power
8:06 pm
effectively disenfranchised always have been in this regime and you know we have to ask why what's in it for saudi arabia and answering that is 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 are going under way 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's the crushing of the bahraini
8:07 pm
revolution is all to do with trying to preemptively destroy any potential resistance to the coming attack on iran. some twenty thousand people rallied in germany's banking capital frankfurt have the countries and movement block you by went into its fourth day standing in battle lines early morning on saturday thousands of police officers and bullet proof that entrenched themselves around the city. was monitoring the situation from. oh 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
8:08 pm
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. people who risked the money in countries like greece in countries like spain that got people into got the countries in such trouble saying it's them who should face the the brunt of it 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 to tamed by very heavily equipped police offices that have been essential a blocking off the whole of central front first the movement itself has called
8:09 pm
themselves lucky pipe and set 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 they had quarters of the european central bank located here. also describes some of the police tactics she saw that wish. here is this. move people not allowed any mare anymore to enter the in their city yet this is something that this completely new in this country that not only remembers police can be seen around the demonstrators but also that that individual people are picked out names are listed before. the manifestation starts they are not allowed
8:10 pm
anymore to at the city and this is going down business sort of your version of democratic rights what happened is that they controlled the brocaded distrait and then they controlled 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 disclaimer because we suppose you will do something illegal. when grief is uniting israelis and palestinians who've lost their loved ones to the long lasting conflict between them it's a unique gathering of suffering parents who want to increase understanding and bring peace closer to their goal is out of reach their reports was the day my son must cute was a very hot day for me i remember grabbing my son trembling all over and running to the bomb shelter. two mothers two testimonies each different but in the end the same. my son died in the line of duty death isn't a word it has
8:11 pm
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've 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 me that 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 are put in a situation of a conflict thing everybody serves his side and who they think. this is their duty to. here through their nation through their. belief. ahmed's two uncles were killed by israelis one was shot dead while trying to enter israel the
8:12 pm
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 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 are israeli but the parent circle is a minority voice the number of israelis and palestinians participating in dialogue has hit a low in as many complain they see no point in me conciliation attempts while the peace process is at a stalemate because the legitimacy. of dialogue and coordination between the palestinians. is eroding. because the legitimacy of negotiations is not a road if the our governments which are ready to pay the price they will find very big support in their people so there is no erosion in the numbers
8:13 pm
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 of of. i think one thousand protesters have flooded chicago marching ahead of the nato summit on sunday he chatted on as expected later with police already on high alert. to use tear gas around a dozen activists were arrested on the eve of the gathering three were charged with conspiracy to cause tara she's in a situation of a poll. 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.

8:15 pm
activist 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 and their money you know your great meetings and street action against the military blog 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

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 to market 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
8:20 pm
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 happy you knew those moves then. 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. now
