9:03 pm
people have turned out to have been arrested but it's definitely been a huge day with thousands of people marching and it wasn't dissipated that something like this could break out on the streets of chicago yesterday we saw a much smaller action about a thousand people walking and still we saw violent clashes so this is really so far been the culmination of these big protests in the city of chicago while the nato summit is going on tomorrow of course the nato summit still continues so we're going to have to wait and monitor and see whether or not we should still expect protests to come out on the streets again. kevin zeese an out of all campaign i was taking part in the chicago protests says it's time for nato to despondent to stop being america's major military toll for nato seems really good at is the dirty work of the us empire when they can't get the un to go along you saw in libya you see an afghanistan it's another military arm of the united states and the and the us
9:04 pm

9:05 pm
the two thousand and twelve world poppy championships they dominated the game against rivals slovakia there wasn't really a wobbly moments in the match and as soon as they raised that the streets went wild people here are absolutely ecstatic about the results here malcolm was named the match prime minister amir has graduated the team's success it also means this wind throughout the home test the russian team hasn't lost a single match out of all of the ten that they've played and it comes after two difficult years for russian hockey last year the entire club team local more t.v. was killed in a plane crash and the national team after wins in two thousand and eight and nine with further down the rankings for a couple of years not anymore the international ice hockey federation proud already
9:06 pm
ranked the russian team number warm in the world and proved it. the star not to stay that's the question facing greece as political instability kept towards an exit from the eurozone however the need is of some of the world's most powerful economies have gathered for talks publicly declaring it should stay put there behind the smiles and handshakes analysts so concern and a desire to see griese go. camp david was invaded by the europeans over the weekend or at least it seemed that way with all my. all ga talk touching the eurozone. 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 cursed lose and leave the eurozone practically every financial analyst thinks that greece will leave it has to be an orderly withdrawal from the euro anything else would be disaster the official mantra from
9:07 pm
a new door to fear with most do everything so the greeks are able to stay in the euro zone. to remain in europe and that was once again the united stance of 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 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 what not to camp david but of 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 people keep his gate but very little based on logic president putin couldn't really
9:08 pm
contribute anything. to a solution he could say right you have to solve your debt problem germany perhaps should in fact extend more dough 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. as a result on the way to twenty nine obama will sit down for talking with the g twenty focuses on a wider range of issues much more pressing to come. like russia and china who seem 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. and cincy are not the ones defending chorus calling for greece to stay is now a mere chance but not to scare the professor of political economic said they
9:09 pm
believe the institute of technology says that now even a greek exit won't be enough to save the euro. the unconditional. euro savers as they are now prisoners of the room misjudgments was of judgment turn out to be fatal because the crisis about the euro is on fire more than just a currency it's about the future integration of europe and we have come to a point where we can no longer solve the euro crisis by simply urging or pushing or requesting greece to opt out and to leave the eurozone because the problems are far beyond that we could have so some two years ago when the that the crisis was a very beginning so the discussion is no longer about greece the discussion is no longer about whether germany is profiting or benefiting less or more from the from the eurozone the question is how we can get the problem solved as quickly as possible without damaging the european integration process. they are in the kingdom

of bahrain is now off america's weapons export blacklist with guns sales about to resume and despite an often a bloody government crackdown on a popular uprising against the ruling monarchy and artie's again their chickens suggest that same keeping with washington's selective approach to just who deserves freedom. that was the emmett bahrain's persistent crackdown on protesters journalists and human rights activists washington welcomes bahrain's crown prince and his brother 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.
9:11 pm
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 that are worth the ruling sunni. regime because of the base of the. in the gulf. and so yeah i mean i think we compromised ourselves 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
9:12 pm
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 attacking and supporting it was open openly supporting the libyan rebels and their attacks against the state even though this was a hard to be situation that now was the doing proper board and and then syria similarly there has been you know when there were only four or restrain from by wants by the opposition forces there so it's a little bit are you there's only in bahrain it's a highly asymmetrical about a 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 bahraini state against the civilians
9:13 pm
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 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 walled where political unrest wages company check out reporting from austin r.t. . and alongside those weapons shipments saudi arabian forces are also set to they have been maintaining and engaged in suppressing dissenting bahrain professor seyed mohammad marandi from the university of tehran says there's only one goal to save cricket but everything. this is basically for the survival of the dictatorship in beheading because the dictatorship the king is immensely unpopular the vast majority of the people are battering one of the regime but unfortunately
9:14 pm
the west supports the saudis and the dictators and in order to crush the revolution he allowed saudi forces to effectively occupy the country it's very interesting that the people about here in despite of this this small country has put up so much resistance and i think this itself shows the immense weakness that lies behind the saudi regime the fact that the united states supports the bahraini and saudi dictatorships also makes them responsible for the both the bloodshed as well as the current situation at large. with more than half of the votes counted in serbia nationalist almost love nichelle it is winning the presidential election by a narrow margin over the pro-e you can see that boris times which has already served two terms in office nevertheless nicholas has just confirmed the country's to continue moving towards e.u. membership political acts that marker gas excess that serves have chosen the lesser
9:15 pm
of two evils. i think the serbs have realized that e.u. membership is not a panacea not a cure all for all evils in the system and there are many evils in the system i mean ex-president presided over eight years of poverty in which she's oligarchy have drawn all of our natural benefits and they created a kind of replaced a kind of communism with a kind of corruption is there which has been very good for them and very bad for everybody else in the country and this really has been the problem for the population has been afraid of change but also have been afraid of further poverty and despite promises of e.u. rose garden even the e.u. governments are very bare at the moment and target is offering looks even more as a result and you can always log on to our website artie dot com where as usual there's plenty more in store for you including breaking the record egyptian security forces have made their biggest ever of the smuggling bust cycle online for
