nine am in moscow i match reza good to have you with us here on r t our top story day one of the nato summit in chicago has been marked by mass demonstrations that resulted in fierce clashes with police a dozen reportedly injured and around sixty arrested after officers started using batons to disperse a thousand strong crowds but he's honest as he churkin who was there for what became the biggest rally in a week of anti-war protests she has been. today certainly was unprecedented for a week of action taking place here in chicago along the sidelines of the nato summit what we witnessed was a march that lasted a few hours that was overall peaceful that ended with violent clashes between riot police and anti-war protesters hundreds of police clashed with hundreds of outraged protesters there were tons being swung by police plastic bottles being thrown by protesters. being thrown violence at least twelve people from what we know have

been injured at least sixty people arrested there were several warnings from police coming that they might have to use chemical on the protesters unless they dispersed that had not been the case of violent clashes leading faces a lot of chaos about one hundred one hundred protesters were really involved in the action whereas many of the majority of the ones marching were able to disperse before violence kick started here on the ground co-director of the anti-war international action center sara flounders is in chicago and she thinks the action taken against the demonstrators shoes nato feels threatened by the call. the very fact that so many thousands of people came out from all across the country i'm the one message that the police and nato has tried to make is to blame all while and here is his war machine responsible for violence around the world from drone attacks to to bombings to attacks at war in in afghanistan libya

syria threats from iran and yet they are calling the demonstrators violent they have spent weeks and weeks and weeks such aerating the media here with wild completely inaccurate cyber catered stories about how the demonstrators are violent they actually have charged young people with terrorism charges a million and a half dollar bail they kidnapped people right off the street to the lawyers spend days trying to find they would not have done that if they did not steal a normally cigarette and that right here in the u.s. there is a denunciation of nato of its wars and demanding that the troops be brought home from afghanistan that there be no new wars and the end to this skyrocketing military spending while every social program here is cut it wouldn't be doing any of this if they didn't feel right. as protests on folded in the streets outside the

nato summit some big announcements were made inside talks mainly focused on afghanistan and missile defense in europe with the blocks chief saying the shield is up and running with interim capability parties got it on has before. this is the first step of base multi-stage missile shield program in europe nato secretary general says for eighteen months they've been working on technical legal issues now they're on track to carry out the program in full the first stage involves mobile interceptors those are the interceptors and radars installed on ships the plan is to have land based elements of the system deployed by twenty eighteen countries like romania poland the czech republic the netherlands those are going to be systems designed to intercept more and best weapons the missile defense shield that the u.s. is building in its in europe is a very contentious issue it's been a point of bickering between russia and the us for many years now russia says the shield has the potential to offset the strategic balance that will make russia take

steps to restore their balance that is to deploy more weapons something that russia doesn't want to do nato is saying that the system is designed to counter possibly a potential threat from iran but iran doesn't have the kind of weapons that the show is intended for also the us refuses to give legal guarantees that the system will not be aimed at russia at some point so it's a huge issue which is not just about trust it's also about guarantees of galveston is at the forefront of this year's nato summit agenda its member states are going to coordinate this their steps of withdrawal the u.s. is the key member is of course calling the shots american troops are set to leave afghanistan in two thousand and fourteen but under their new agreement with ghana's then they will remain in certain numbers as the u.s. claims in in a supporting role the general perception among experts is that nato as war in afghanistan has been a failure as much as the u.s. is trying to truly coat it with the eventual killing of osama bin laden still the war ended up in raging the local population fostering

a new kind of extremism also drug production became rampant in afghanistan during the years of occupation and it's billions of dollars that go to support terrorists and organized crime networks around the globe that's the kind of against them. nato is leaving behind nato is also facing identity crisis in a way the alliance is supposed to be about defense but it has long taken up the role of an offensive force the bombing of libya had nothing to do with defending europe or north america you saw thousands of people in the streets of chicago protesting against nato because they feared that in order to sustain itself to make it to make itself useful the ally is is in the business of making wars rather than stopping them. russia why the expect to get a new government monday when recently inaugurated president vladimir putin unveils his team of ministers the deadline for forming the cabinet expires tuesday but the leadership says it's taking as much time as possible because of the need for a significant shake up for more on this we go live narky sorry outside of the

a huge influx of visitors. welcome to britain where you'll be greeted by queues longer than many flights to get here the maximum wait for passport checks at london's heathrow airport should be forty five minutes but these passengers were stuck for up to two and a half hours last month as britain's busiest airport seized up why because it ranged says the government not exactly the sign of a city ready to welcome the world but the imminent olympics four hour delays are predicted and not just at the airports there are huge problems with the transport infrastructure in london as anybody who has visited the city will realize we are basically running on a kind of nineteen fifties infrastructure in terms of airports railways the metro system and so on it is a very out of choosing with the rest of europe three million journeys a day are enough to make even a normal service grind to

a halt on london's famous underground never mind the gap it severe delays and impromptu line closures that are notorious here and with a surge of fifteen million journeys on the busiest days of the olympics it's no wonder even transport officials admit you'll be better off on foot this is waterloo station one of london's busiest and a limb pick transport hotspots in fact is expected to be so congested here during the olympics that people already being handed maps like these telling them how to avoid stations like this one and advising them to walk to work during the olympics because it'll be quicker than taking it in the advertising maybe light hearted but walking to work is no laughing matter for most commuters especially when that's what over six billion pounds of investment get see we've got the best transport system in the world without question everybody telling people to walk to work

because we're responsible organization we're just giving practical advice god. so that they understand that your research on the guy yes it is going to be busy you know we don't we're not hiding behind the fact that the network is going to be busy and that's why we keep the people sensible guidance and advice so they can avoid it so the more you will be used and that i actually perhaps might enjoy actually walking rather than going on the trip and the brakes are on the buses to this london icon may not be seen at all this summer drivers are threatening to strike because they're london's only transport workers not in line for a limp dick bonus pay without them it'll leave another six million passengers to squeeze on to the tube if london's buses do come to a standstill because of strike action are members of the being forced into this city will be gridlocked nothing will move people won't get to the gauge the athletes the journalists the coaches and the spectators won't even get anywhere

near that limb. with barely two months left much of london twenty twelve is on the home straight but in getting from a to b. there are still plenty of hurdles ahead either bennett r t. as of now available in his business news so there was a major sell off on the markets last week how about this week. there is a certainly that last week is over but like the saying goes expect the best anticipate the worst and it seems like that's exactly what's happening at the moment it seems like despite the heavy sell off we're not really expecting a technical rebound because the major factors that led to the sell off last week remain intact although if you look at asia there's actually some reasons to to be positive you see the nikkei at the moment is gaining more than a quarter percent the hang seng is remaining in the red despite some positive news namely the chinese leader went about over the weekend pledging to to speed up

reforms and to really focus on making it bigger priority and now moving on to wall street talking about a bad week that certainly what we saw there as you can see you're seeing friday's closing figures for the week the dow was off three and a half percent the nasdaq shed more than five percent and facebook's a lukewarm debut was certainly one of the major events on wall street and that's likely to dominate the headlines in the coming week ago experts say that these coming days are going to be quite tough for the stock mainly because it's believed underwriter morgan stanley is likely to pull back its support and because those who bought the stock in the hopes of a quick surge might actually decide to sell and of course the earnings season is winding down and that brought a lot of positivity positivity to the to the market and and that might not be the

case in the coming days and the focus is going to shift to the zone crisis and the problems with greece and of course the deteriorating health of the spanish banking sector speaking of a euro over the weekend global leaders met. the the seat of europe or the seat of its unity i should say u.s. president barack obama who hosted the meeting has repeatedly stressed the need to stimulate growth of course one of his concerns is that the eurozone crisis spreads to the united states but essentially there is no breakthrough the g eight leaders once again agreed that it would be best for greece to stay in the euro zone but that doesn't mean it can wiggle out of its financial commitments and despite the lack of any positive news the euro is managing to actually

a rebound against the u.s. dollar is gaining at the moment and the russian ruble on friday ended up retreating against all major currencies including the euro and the dollar and we'll bring you the latest as soon as the russian markets reopen and about one hour and now let's check out the russian markets since we mentioned them and you're seeing friday's closing figures it was quite bad on the russian markets as you can see there major sell off the russian markets posted major losses mainly of course on those european concerns and on. a weaker all well basically from its april. from april's closing it lost between ten and twenty percent and or oil being the major factor it's actually gaining it's actually rebounding from a six months low on friday in new york for the first time in seven
