please. don't come. world leaders arrive in chicago for the nato summit the city welcoming them with thousand strong protests and reports of a heavy handed police reaction. and the g eight nations throw their weight behind results day in the euro zone of speculation among the different places in poland damage control and that a very different break it's been that the absence of. the us the us resume is on sale to bahrain and it concerned will be used for other big. days and if you will by putting family plans for unity with saudi arabia. this is the weekly on our say let's take

a look at the stories that have been making headlines this week streets are flooded with protesters and that's how she called her is greeting world leaders congregating the for the nato summit thousands are running against the blogs costly and deadly wars demonstrations that have already received a harsh response a from police. 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. going down and. handling it is that i am trying to capitalize on everybody against the economic interests of many of them 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. great now the protesters are in the very heart of chicago it looks like they have no intention of stopping and this really looks like

a preview of things to come because the sunday march is actually expected to be the biggest one of the biggest anti nato action that will be. of course we'll keep you updated on events in chicago throughout the day plus later today we'll look closely at the end iraq in the u.s. as we examine the timeline all the occupy movement and a special report. that we have to begin to identify don't. push. me. that she. feels like people are people in similar. images a bunch of losers but i have

a very good. people have jobs here that's all nonsense they read jobs are losers. feel. really feel. have been beaten dead stricken greece should stay in the euro zone that's the united message from leaders of the world's most powerful economies after a day of conses 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 a suggested a different agenda for the troubled nation artie's anissa now has more on this. 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 all focus was on a not so new an ever growing crisis and the million dollar question of could greece be current 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 from a new door to fear we must do everything so the greeks are able to stay in the euro zone. to me young 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 to believe the smiles and handshakes are just damage control i think this is just trying to protect put a pretty face on it just hope to ms or so when the markets open monday they can

have some good news to report but the media are more concerned with who was not a 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 should in fact 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 but euro zone fallout worsened the u.s. economy russia sees this summit as a stop on the way to dunes g. twenty where putin and obama. will sit down for talks with 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 disorderly the many analysts who believe greece will default are now trying to predict how events will unfold later we ask that the judge chakraborty an economics writer for the guardian newspaper what he sees next for athens his interview coming your way next hour here's a quick look. people have 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 gristly . they would accept that it would involve beyond being straight people it would mean trying to force yank him to not be working it would mean that people

would stop for me become true especially with this the bureaus in their back pocket because the country would then need stop copy from income and to maintain a very hollow move so it would affect a lot of countrymen more. the question are all in the saudi's really for the rest of the euro zone if the euro zone can certainly threaten the financial markets look greece is leaving but we will greece is a special case you know behind our hands will say it's a bit of a basket case and actually it's probably 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 people 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 that targeting security hubs damascus claims

it's being attacked by a terrorist alliance comprised of al qaida and elements backed by regional powers 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 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 is caused. at the scene angry crowds at a quite 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 gangs to the. everything will be finished within two years but if they want to continue supporting them they want to. in the region trading 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 but it splintered into a confusing mix of various groups political a nonpolitical armed and unarmed and the continued instability here has left the country wide open to attacks like this taking place. it's

a problem. that. policy a very easy provided chance for everyone to in the world to interfere in this. either by providing arms providing sounds providing fighters and soldiers. and troops as people are left to bury their dead and with the hospitals full the syrian people are once again left trying to rebuild their homes and their lives and the focus has once again turned to the on going peace mission which is looking more and more 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. r.t. syria. perth's the reporting from syria still ahead in the program along sees a protest policing itself. as it is drawing anti austerity rallies a serious of

a massive job losses and salary also. we need a holocaust survivor kept her story secret for seventeen years against the backdrop of his rival palestinian violence. and there is concern for the violent unrest in another country sucked into the arab spring bahrain this week of the year was announced is a partially resuming arms sales to the country despite international criticism over the ongoing crackdown on eighty regime protesters there and as artie's that guy and their teacher can explain the move demonstrates washington's selective approach to popular uprisings in different parts of the region. that was a meet bahrain's persistent crackdown on protesters journalists and human rights activists washington welcomes bahrain's crown prince and his back to the united

states. 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 a major force in the gulf clyde prestowitz a top economist in the reagan and clinton administrations argues the u.s. has traded principles for military bases have sided with the ruling sunni. regime because of the base of the. 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 encouraged violence against government forces in libya the united states was openly parking it supporting it was open openly supporting the libyan rebels and their acts against the state even though this was. an arson essentially sure that that was the ruling proper board and and then syria similarly

there has been no and there were only four or restrain from barlett so far the opposition forces there so it's a little bit are see there's only in bahrain it's a highly asymmetrical a lot of situation it's not a case in which. in which there's enormous violence brought by the protesters against the police forces it's clearly by the far right makes it's 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 shot at 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 walled where political unrest wages company check our reporting from washington r.t. . there is a mention of sales to bahrain was wanted by another controversial announcement that triggered mass protests in the country in bahrain's a ruling family and saudi arabia want to form

a union the plan this by being put on hold for now was denounced by protesters as an attempt at an expression the proposed deal also sparked outrage across iran which some experts say has good cause. 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 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 us why are they pursuing this course and i think we have to understand this in terms of the preparations which are 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 western 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 revolution is all to do with trying to preemptively destroy any potential resistance to the coming attack on iran. well many here unity with saudi arabia would mean an end to blurring of democratic aspirations of the initiatives that are solidly that have already proved those

critics right as you'll find on our web site there. then the language of calling it am mephisto in practice is that the detail that are in the dark. that that. bank in the latest waves. occupy rage sweeping europe we've got the latest footage and pictures from the part of the protests online. this week we saw a game of cat and mouse play out in moscow between opposition activists and police as several protest camps are continued to spring up in the center of the capital only to be laid to be victims by officers a city called and she used a rule to support a long drawn local resident 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 moved to other locations a setting up new hams which were also broken up to locals complained occams where adopted by the opposition movement in moscow following blatter you can do the inauguration as president on may the seventh they have almost one hundred permanent activists who pledged to continue their sit up campaigns indefinitely with. over thirty thousand u.k. police officers took to the streets to protest against salary cuts and job losses amid the grip of the u.k.'s austerity squeeze artie's ivor bennett looks at the plight of the british bobby. 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 thousand over the next four years which cuts they say that could seriously threaten public safety it will have an impact on the exit is not just that it is a section of the police it is people will see if you that this is on the street and at the end of the day people see police police help is on the street they feel safe bitingly presence and that's just not going to happen in egypt it was known as the baxter release also in the will and it's simply it will continue like that the police will be hit hard by a 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's efficient it is it. feels. almost as if it had to be able to. direct it was a little bit shaky was 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 re offending 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. zation 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 deterioration 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 knowledge of approaches to allow 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 either bennett r.t. london. let's have a look at some other news making headlines around the world at history people have been talking. point nine quake struck northern italy in the tremor in this in the registers six point three the same magnitude as the deadly quake that hit three years ago killing almost three hundred people.

thousands of cambodians have gathered in the capital to commemorate the victims of the coming rouge regime some two million people died during the party's brutal four year rule most notorious was the use of the so-called killing fields where thousands were tortured and executed. in clashes between israeli forces and palestinian demonstrators erupted during the end or catastrophe day march in the west bank the rarely remember the hundreds of thousands displaced after the creation of a state of israel in one nine hundred forty eight policy as a story of one woman who survived another war and kept a secret during the decades of the israeli palestinian conflict. for seven decades hid her secret only now has this muslim mother of seven and grandmother of twenty nine revealed to her family the full truth about her past i need that i didn't want my children to be afraid for me and be part of my grief we're here all the time in
