now in the palm of your. dot com. leaders of the world's top industrialized nations are throw their weight behind greece and spain in the euro zone but speculation mounts that it's just damage control and that a very different fate is being mapped out for athens. world leaders arrive in chicago for the nato summit at the city welcoming them one thousand strong protests and reports of a heavy handed police reaction. and the u.s. resumes arms sales to bahrain amid concerns they'll be used to further the crackdown on growing demonstrations today by the ruling families plans where unity was saudi arabia.

you're watching the weekly here on our let's take a look at the stories that made headlines this week did a search in greece i should stay in the euro zone that's the united message from the leaders of the world's most powerful economies after a day of crisis talks in the u.s. athens dominated the g eight gathering amid fears it may be headed for a chaotic and i'm president of the exit from the single currency bloc however some believe that talks behind closed doors are suggested a different agenda for the troubled nation artie's arnesen now has the details camp david was invaded by the europeans over the weekend or at least it seemed that way with almost all ga talk touching the euro zone. there were new faces of focus was on a not so new and ever growing crisis and the million dollar question of could greece be current mood and leave the euro zone practically every financial analyst things that greece will live to be on. orderly withdrawal from the euro anything

else would be disaster the official mantra remains. we must do everything so the greeks are able to stay in the euro zone. and he's. dreamy and that was once again the united stance is this camp david summit wrapped up but plan b. is already in place officials in brussels have a back up just in case and germany has been hinting a referendum on a euro exit could be greece's best bet leading some to believe the smiles and handshakes are just damage control this is just trying to put a pretty face on it is hoped in is so when the markets open monday they can have some good news to report but the media are more concerned with who was not at camp david then what was president putin says he's busy with his cabinet this weekend others think he's steamed over the street protests lots of speculation as to why putin skipped this g. eight but very little based on logic 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 danger to other weak members of the european union and so on but basically he'd be a bystander not the case for obama who in an election year can't afford to let euro zone fall out worsen the u.s. economy russia sees this summit as a stop on the way to june twenty putin and obama will sit down for talks with us at the g. twenty it focuses on a wider range of issues much more pressing to countries like russia and china who seek to have greater expectations from the broader format especially when it comes to financial turmoil and making sure all global issues make the cut reporting from the g. eight at camp david and he said no way r.t. orderly or disorder leaving the many analysts who believe greece. we'll default and

are trying to predict how events will unfold later we are. an economics writer for the guardian newspaper what he sees mags for athens his interviews coming up your way next in the next hour here's a quick look. he's been modeling what a greek exit from the euro zone would look like for the best part of a year politically economically politically even those who are in favor of greece leaving europe so. they would accept that it would involve being street people though it would mean going to. be a came to not be working it would mean that people stop for me become very specially with this is the bureau's in their back pocket because the country that they need to stop capital come and to maintain a very hollow move so it would affect like a country. the question all in the saudis really for the rest of the euro zone if

the euro zone can say threatened to financial markets look greece is leaving but we all know greece is a special case you know behind our hands will say it's a bit of a basket case and actually its problems are not the rest of the euro zone that's what they really mean by an orderly exit if they can convince everyone that greece is leaving because of greece not because of the euro i don't think the markets would buy that. from camp david some world leaders are moving into chicago where the nato summit will start later on sunday and tensions are running high in the city even though with thousands of protesters flooding the city center to rally against the blocks costly and deadly was nice to see there has been following the much throughout the last couple of days we have seen groups of protesters taking up the streets of chicago different actions taking place we've seen about a thousand protesters walk the streets. the city they were chanting there were in

fact clashes with police police took out with tons we are hearing that one activist was run over by a police van we saw a woman protester with her face bleeding definitely clashes right now the situation seems to have calmed down but it was quite an intense several hours of marching and protesting and at least a thousand people walking through the city hundreds of police officers everywhere people coming out on the streets of all walks of life to protest the nato summit taking place they disagree with the policies being implemented by the u.s. government and nato when it comes to afghanistan and the wars that the united states is fighting the protesters believe that money could be could be put to much better use especially in difficult economic situation in the united states for more details on what went on on the streets of chicago earlier today take a look at our report.

these are. being grown and. handing. everybody against the economic system in the united states the one real changes. protesters now breaking through police barricades literally the entire crowd hundreds of people running through the area that's being barricaded off by the police break now the protesters are in the very heart of chicago they look like they have no intention of stopping and this really looks like a preview of things to come because this sunday march is actually expected to be the biggest one the biggest anti nato action that will be playing. around. of course we'll keep you updated on events in chicago throughout the day plus later today we look closely at the ngo iraq in the u.s. as we examine the timeline although as you point movement and a special report. we

have to begin to identify those who've. been. pushed. 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 already jobs are losers. leave. it. at least nine people have been killed and another one hundred injured in a suicide bombing in eastern syria the latest in

a series of loss in recent months targeting security hubs damascus claims it's being attacked by a terrorist alliance that comprised of and elements backed by regional policy and as our first reports from syria there's a growing sense that a third force is creeping into the civil conflict with its own terrifying agenda. it was a little known terror group the al nusra front that claimed responsibility for last week's massive bombing in syria the blast carried out in a busy residential area designed to cause maximum damage damascus which the solong had been through and they sheltered from the conflict throughout the rest of the country that's in recent months found itself the target of an increased bombing campaign this latest explosion considered the largest one and you can just see the devastation that it's caused. was that. night. at the scene angry crowds at a quite them terrorist acts shouting blame at saudi arabia and qatar is playing

that many analysts saying these countries actions are undermining the peace process if you. stop but the supporting of united states of america and saudi arabia. supporting. to the. everything will be finished within two months but if they want to continue supporting them they want to. in the region trading amongst the rubble as people show the ruins. and what is one of damascus is poorest neighborhoods there's a real sense of a revolution. was there is uprising began as a peaceful pro-democracy movement that has splintered into a confusing mix in various groups political a nonpolitical. and the continued instability here left the country wide open to attacks like this taking place. it's

a plug problem for the syrians that their policy a very she provided the chance for everyone to in the world to interfere and this. either by providing arms providing funds providing fighters and soldiers. and troops as people are left to bury their dead and with the hospitals full syrian people are once again trying to rebuild their homes and their lives and the focus has once again turned the on going peace mission which is looking more wolf by the day a wall is now in place around the blast site stark reminder that terror has served only as yet another barrier to peace here. surface r.t. . for aceh reporting still ahead in the program london sees approaches of

policing itself as thousands of officers joining. furious over massive job losses and salary cuts also. we need a holocaust survivor that kept her story secret for seventeen years against a backdrop of its rival palestinian violence. and there's concern of further violent unrest in another country sucked into the arab spring bahrain this week the u.s. announces a resuming arms sales to the country despite warnings of the weapons could be used against the n.t. regime protesters and as artie's a guy and their cheech i can explain the move demonstrates washington's selective approach to popular uprisings in different parts of the region. amid bahrain's persistent crackdown on protesters journalists and human rights activists washington welcomes bahrain's crown prince. of the united.

and pledges to resume arms supplies to a key ally in the gulf. the us had suspended weapon sales to bahrain in the light of massive human rights violations by these stories there but now the state park. has issued a statement saying that american weapons will soon be heading to bahrain and again . we've made this decision i want to emphasize on national security grounds we've made this decision mindful of the fact that there remain a number of serious unresolved human rights issues in bahrain which we expect the government of bahrain to address bahrain host the u.s. fifth fleet its around forty ships two aircraft carriers sixteen thousand personnel and major force in the gulf region clyde prestowitz a top economist in the reagan and clinton administrations argues the us has traded principles for military bases we've sided with the ruling sunni. regime

because of the base of this of the fifth fleet. in the gulf. and so yeah i mean i think we compromised in the same statement announcing the resumption of arms supplies to bahrain washington calls for the country's opposition to show restraint. we concerned by what has now become almost daily street violence and we are in this context bahrain's political opposition to call for an end to the violence against police that's a stark difference from the u.s. approach towards other countries in the region engulfed in anti-government protests where the u.s. has tacitly or openly encouraged violence against government forces and libya the united states was openly supporting or was open openly supporting the libyan rebels and their acts against the state even though this was. an arson essentially sure that that was they were improper board and and then syria

similarly there has been no and there were all or or restrain from violence by the opposition forces there so it's a little bit are you there's only in bahrain it's a highly asymmetrical live situation it's not a case and. which. in which there's enormous violence by the protesters against the police forces it's clearly already stated it's. the general perception is that the us doesn't want to rock the boat in bahrain because of its fifth fleet there so it's a case of eyes wide shot at human rights violations it might seem like a normal trade off in the world of politics but critics say it makes a mockery of america claiming the high moral ground in other countries in the arab world where political unrest wages company check our reporting from washington r.t. . the resumption of on sales to bahrain was followed by another controversial announcement that triggered mass protests in the country bahrain's ruling family in

saudi arabia want to form a union the plan despite being put on hold for now was denounced by protesters as an attempt to off the annexation and the proposed deal also sparked outrage across iran which some experts say has good cause for alarm. 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 blood seventy percent of the population are 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 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 us why are they pursuing this course and i think we have to understand this in terms of the preparations which are in 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 westerlies 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 revolution is all to do with trying to preemptively destroy any potential resistance to the coming attack on iran. while many fear unity with saudi arabia would mean an end to bahrain's democratic aspirations some initiatives of the saudis at home have already proved those critics are right as you'll find on our website knowing english as saudi arabia bad

language and calling it unnecessary practice discovered the details that are teed up harm. lasted twenty thousand marching through the streets of frank third in the latest. wave of occupy rage is sweeping europe we've got the latest footage and pictures from the heart of the protests online. this week we saw a game of cat and mouse play out in moscow between opposition activists and police and several protest camps continued to spring up in the center of the capital only to be later be evicted by offices city cotton sheets a rule to to support a lawsuit from local residents who wanted activists to be evicted from a central square because of noise and littering police moved in after protesters

refused to leave several people were detained but others move each other locations setting up new camps which were also breaking up after locals complained the camps were doctored by the opposition movement in moscow following revenue the inauguration as president on may seventh they have almost one hundred percent permanent activists who pledge to continue their sit up campaign indefinitely with . over thirty thousand u.k. police officers took to the streets to protest against salary cuts and job losses and made the grip of the u.k.'s austerity squeeze artie's ivor bennett looks at the plight of the british party the protest policing itself is a rare sight especially one this big that's because these protesters are the police 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 cards sixteen thousand over the next four years. cuts they say that could seriously threaten public safety it will have an impact on public safety not just that there is a section of the police say these people will see if you will this is on the street and at the end of the day people see place to place emphasis on the street they feel safe bitingly presence and that's just not going to happen in egypt it was known as the baxter leaseholds in the wilderness and with these kids it's 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 it's efficient is a typical moment and as a result i will feel as if. it almost if not is committed to be able to provide that service for them as if it was a direct result will be said to yourself that it's not just police probation officers are up for the chopper to the government wants to replace them with machines expected to look like this removing yet another barrier protecting the public they're supposed to stop criminals reoffending 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 to 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 would be compromised if these machines are rolled up nationally. deviant behavior deterioration behavior will be missed and most people will go 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 negative approach. to allow professionals to cut bureaucracy and spend their time more effectively with the youth and as they supervise public protection will always be our priority not according to those charged with their role it's been four years since police officers last marched on through london the next time sure to be sooner than mt if the government continues its squeeze on the bennett r.t. london let's have a look at some other news making headlines around the world at least people have been killed and two others injured in the city and there are a powerful five point nine earthquake struck northern italy the tremor initially registered six point three at the same magnitude as a deadly quake that hit three years ago killing almost three hundred.
