world leaders arrive in chicago for the nato summit and the city welcoming them with thousand strong protests and reports of heavy handed police reaction. leaders of the world's top industrialized nations adroitly away behind me that same in the euro zone but speculation mounts that it's just damage control that a very different page is being mapped out for athens. and the u.s. resumes arms sales to bahrain amid concerns they'll be used to further the crackdown on growing demonstrations through by the ruling families plan for unity with saudi arabia.

this is our teaser of the weekly with me to say let's take a look at the stories that have been making headlines of this week first story streets are flooded with protesters and that's how chicago is greeting world leaders congregate in there for the nato summit thousands are railing against the blocks costly and deadly was demonstrations that have already received a harsh response from police. shooting that has the details. throughout the last couple of days we have seen groups of protesters taking the streets of chicago different actions taking place we've seen about a thousand protesters walk the streets of the city they were chanting there were in fact clashes with police police took out with taunts we are hearing that one activist was run over by a police van we saw a woman protester with her face bleeding definitely clashes 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. those are. being down and. handling this is that i am trying to capitalize marty everybody against the economic system in the united states the one real changes. her testers 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 played. on the ground. of course we'll keep you updated on events in chicago throughout the day plus later today we look closely at the anger rock in the us as we examine the timeline of the occupy movement in our special report. that. we have to begin to identify don't. push. me. just. if. you. feel like it but people see me. here it is a bunch of losers but i have

a very good. people have jobs here that's all nonsense a rep the losers. feel . really feel. bad for the dead stricken agrees i should stay in the euro zone that's the united message from leaders of the world's most powerful economies after a day of crisis talks in the u.s. athens a 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 nations and he said now as 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 eurozone. there were new

faces but all the focus was on a not so new an ever growing crisis and the million dollar question of could greece speak earth loose and leave the euro zone practically every financial analyst things that greece will leave it has to be an 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 raised to remain in europe 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 predict what

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 to you 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 should in fact extend more doan's 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 street twenty putin and obama. we'll sit down for talks of 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 this in no way. orderly or does order leave the many analysts who believe greece will default on now trying to predict how events will unfold later we are studied abroad an economics writer for the guardian newspaper what he sees next for athens his interview coming your way later this hour here's a quick look. people have been modeling what the greek exit from the euro zone would look like for the best part of a year politically and economically politically even those who are in favor of greece leave so. they would accept that it would involve being strict. it would mean banks would. be a came to not be working it would mean that people stop for me become true

specially with this you wrote in their back pocket because the country would then need stop you from coming and to maintain a very high level move so it would affect your country. the question all in the saudis really for the rest of the euro zone if the euro zone can say to the rest of the financial markets look greece is leaving but we all know greece is a special case you know behind i 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. 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 blasts in recent months targeting security hubs damascus claims it's

being attacked by terrorists alliance comprised of al qaida and elements backed by regional powers and for three 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 nasra front they 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 so long had been through and they sheltered from the conflict throughout the rest of the country has 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. at the scene angry crowd to quiet them as 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. stopped supporting of united states of america and saudi arabia. supporting guns to the rebels. everything will be finished within two months but if they want to continue supporting them they want to be in the region treading amongst the rubble as people show us the ruins of their homes and what is one of damascus is poorest neighborhoods there's a real sense of a revolution spinning out of control syria's 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 has left the country wide open to attacks like this taking place. it's a plot problem it's

a dilemma for the syrians that their policy a very easy provided chance for everyone to end the world to interfere and the syrian. either by providing arms providing for sounds providing fighters and soldiers and terrorists as people are left to bury their dead and with the hospitals full the syrian people are once again trying to rebuild their homes and their lives and the focus has once again turned to the on going peace question which is looking more able fragile 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. . still ahead in the program london sees a protest policing. thousands of officers join and hear sarah to rallies

a furious over massive job losses and salary cuts also. we need a holocaust survivor and a capital story secret for seventy years i think the backdrop of a thriving 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 partially resuming arms sales to the country despite international criticism over the ongoing crackdown on anti regime protesters them and as our teaser guy and their teacher can explains the move demonstrates washington's selective approach to popular uprisings in different parts of the region. the was the immediate bahrain's persistent crackdown on protesters journalists and human rights activists that washington welcomes bahrain's crown prince and. the united. and pledges to resume arms

supplies to a key ally in the gulf. the us had suspended weapons sales to bahrain in the light of massive human rights violations by these sorties there but now the state department has issued a statement saying that american weapons will soon be heading to bahrain 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 it's 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 u.s. has traded principles for military bases that are worth the ruling. regime because of the base. in the gulf.

and so yeah 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 encourage violence against the government forces and libya the united states will open. it supporting it was open openly supporting the libyan rebels and their attacks against the state even though this was very hard to piece a truly sure that now was the improper board and move and then syria similarly

there has been no eleven there were only four or restrain from barlett so far the hope is that your forces there so it's a little bit r c there's only in bahrain it's a highly asymmetrical it's a lot of situation it's not a case of minimum wage. in which there's enormous violence brought by the protesters against the police forces it's clearly by the bahraini state against the civilians the general perception is that the u.s. doesn't want to rock the boat in bahrain because of its fifth fleet there so it's a case of eyes wide shock that human rights violations it might seem like a normal trade off in the walls 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 sales to bahrain was followed by another controversial announcement that triggered mass protests in the country bahrain's ruling family and saudi arabia want to form

a union and the planet despite being put on hold for now was denounced by protesters as an attempt at onyx ation 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 so many 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 i answered 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 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 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 at least 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. well many of your unity with saudi arabia would mean an end to bahrain's democratic aspirations some initiatives of the thousands that have already proved those critics are right as you'll find out on our website. any lead saudi arabia have

banned their language and calling it unnecessary practice discover the detail that our deep dark. clouds that twenty thousand miles are through the streets of. for it in the latest wave of occupy rage sweeping europe we've got the latest footage and pictures from the heart of the protest online. this week we saw a game of cat and mouse play out in moscow between opposition activists and police as several protest camps continued to spring up in the center of the capital on me too late to be a victim by officers a city caught in choosing rule to support him more often from local residents wanted activists to be lifted from the central square because of noise any

littering police moved in after protests of refused to move several people were detained but others moved to other locations setting up new plans which are also broken up often locals complained the cans were adopted by the opposition movement in moscow following bloody movements in the inauguration as president on may seventh they have almost one hundred permanent activists who pledged to continue this sit out campaign indefinitely. over thirty thousand u.k. police took to the streets and to protest against salary cuts and i'm at the grip of the u.k.'s austerity squeeze it is ivor bennett looks at the plight of the british bobby. a 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 carts sixteen fouls and over the next four years which cuts they say that could seriously threaten public safety it will have an impact on the executive not just that perception of the police and its people we'll see if you will this is on the street and at the end of the day people see police the police emphasis on the street they feel safe bitingly a presence and that's just not going to happen egypt it was known as the baxter police force in the will and with these 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 get some of the. issue to. almost. always will. 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. public is supposed to stop criminals responding 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 nonsense to suggest that a machine could do the job you think there's a real likelihood and the public protection in britain because if these machines are rolled up nationally. even if you should behave you 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 normative approaches to law professionals to cut bureaucracy and spend their time more effectively with the offenders they supervise public protection will always be our priority not according to those charged with that role it's been four years since police officers last marched on mass three london the next time sure to be sooner than that if the government continues its squeeze on the bennett london. let's have a look at some other news making headlines around the world at least many people have killed and two others injured in the city there are after. the quake struck northern italy the tremor initially registers six point three the same magnitude as a deadly quake that hit a lot quilla three years ago killing almost three hundred. blind
