a 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 some fierce clashes with police a dozen were reportedly injured and about sixty arrested after officers started using but tons to disperse thousand strong crowds artie's honest us who churkin it was in the middle of what became the biggest rally in a week of anti-war protests and has the details. 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 balloons being thrown of violence at least twelve people from what we

know have been injured at least sixty people arrested there were several warnings from police coming they might have to use chemical on the protesters unless they dispersed that had not been the case of violent clashes leading faeces 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 the co-director of the anti-war international action center sara flounders and sick in chicago she thinks the action taken against the nato demonstrators shows that the organization feels threatened by their cause. the very fact that so many thousands of people came out from all across the country and the one message that the police and nato has tried to make is to blame all while and here is just more machine responsible for violence around the world from drone attacks to to bombings to attacks at war and

in in afghanistan libya syria threats on iran and yet they are calling the demonstrators mylan they have spent weeks and weeks and weeks shot to raiding the media here was wild completely inaccurate fabricated 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 spent days trying to find they would not have done that if they did not steal a normally read 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 unfolded in the streets outside the

nato summit some big announcements were made inside talks mainly focused on afghanistan and european missile defense with the bloc's chief saying the shield is up and running with interim capability our teams guided to take young as. 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 for 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 us is building and it's in europe is a very contentious issue it's been a point of big trade 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 you're right doesn't have the kind of weapons that the shoulder is intended for also the us refuses to give legal guarantees that the system will not be aimed at russia 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 so was drawl 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 guys then they will remain in certain numbers as the u.s. claims 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 code 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. needle 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 fear that in order to sustain itself to make it to make itself useful be a lie as it is in the business of making wars rather than stopping them russia expected to get a new government monday when recently inaugurated president vladimir putin unveils his team of ministers the deadline for forming the cabin of expires tuesday but the leadership says it's taking as much time as possible because of the for a significant shake up or he's sorry for reports. these appointments are really

good at that the tone of the president weekend but of course they come against the backdrop of an unprecedented public opposition we see white scale right the toppling in the country that really the opposition cools again you russia russia two point zero they're going to want be a big get the schools all big corruption of the same you were younger in that cabinet as well a lot of people are going to be looking for a cabinet that's going to be can she say to that reform that they've been holding but we've seen a much more politically engaged population we sometimes hear about. over the weekend at the g eight summit private if the fate of the the new government is going to be substantially the need and that's why it's taken by the president not attending that meeting to focus on this will make you know the need government so i do expect that the younger fresher faces then they'll be interesting to see if

there's any opposition members in the new government as well when that by will live up to the now will stay with us here on r t still to come this hour serbia's presidential election won by a nationalist candidate but what does it mean for the country's hopes to join the e.u. plus could be a bumpy ride for london's fast approaching summer games a severe delays a line closures and bus strikes threaten to put the squeeze on the olympics stay with us. so for assistance a new job the rates of. the race if you came in for example the city of. briscoe says more than ten times chose conses fourteen times i was to get the exact details but the shoes numbers there's no nothing that you have to find in any

a jump the incident was witnessed by family and friends of the victims who gathered to watch their descent or finally in the news block with the sun parliament summer olympics fast approaching all eyes now on london to see how they're gearing up for putting on a show to the world those are better reports there's growing concerns over chaos for commuters as bus strikes an aging infrastructure leave the city's transport system struggling to cope with the 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 rained says the government not exactly the sign of a city ready to welcome the world but the imminent a lympics 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 realise we are basically running on a kind of nine hundred fifty s. infrastructure in terms of airports railways the metro system and so on it is a very out of choosing with the rest of your 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 in severe delays and impromptu line closures that a 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 the olympic 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 the team the advertising may be 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 c 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. people so that they understand that during a certain tone the guy yes it is going to be busy you know we don't we're not hiding behind the fact that the networks going to be busy and that's why we give people the sensible guidance and advice so they can avoid it so that annoyed completely and and that i actually perhaps might enjoy actually walking rather than going on the tube 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 limb pick 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 the strike action are members of a being forced into this city will be gridlocked nothing will move people won't get to the games the athletes the journalists the coaches and the spectators won't even get anywhere near that when. 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. london. we take a look at life in russia's cold. and see and how the people there while i heavily on animals for everything from food to companionship in our special report coming away in about three hours time take a look. here the reindeer is interesting for the herders. and when it suffers. people do their best to help go.

wrong and. the distances are. and the roads are. unpredictable. will the remedy be and try. to fix. on. to me.

to. just say. six. to. six. weeks. time to get the latest now from the business desk with natasha saw the russian markets open about twenty minutes ago what's the sentiment so far. well it looks like many see friday's sell off as a buying opportunity there are markets actually opened on an upbeat note let's see those numbers there and as you can see at the moment the r.t.s.

is managing to pull put on around the quarter percent the my six opened higher but is actually seeing choppy trade it's a losing just a notch at the moment and over in asia where the trade is quite active this hour it's actually quite beat at least until q oh it's a gaining around a quarter percent mainly thanks to exporters and some resource focus companies but in hong kong the hang saying is shedding value and that's despite some good news over the weekend the chinese leader wen jiabao actually pledged to. to speed up economic reforms and to make growth have bigger priority but that doesn't seem to affect the way trade is going there at least for now and talking about a bad week that's certainly what we had on wall street you're seeing friday's closing figures and they're. all for the week the dow ended up shutting three and

a half percent the nasdaq was off around five percent or actually more than five percent of facebook's a lukewarm i.p.o. was definitely one of the biggest events and it's likely to dominate the headlines in the coming days or though experts say that it's actually going to be quite tough for the stock in the coming days mainly because its lead underwriter morgan stanley is likely to pull back its support of the stock and those who bought it hoping to get a quick return might actually sell this week and of course one of the main drivers for the u.s. stock market over the recent weeks has been the. earnings season we saw a lot of positivity coming from the earnings reports and that's winding down so the main focus is shifting to what's happening over in europe mainly to greece and to the deteriorating health of the banking sector over in spain now speaking

here of global leaders met over the weekend to discuss europe's fate or actually defeat of its unity i should say here's president barack obama who hosted the meeting has repeatedly stressed the need to stimulate growth one of his main concerns is that the eurozone crisis spreads to the united states but essentially there was no breakthrough as the g eight leaders once again agreed it would be best if greece managed to stay in the euro zone but that doesn't mean it can go out of its financial commitments and now despite all the pressure the euro is managing to do quite well certainly against the u.s. dollars you can see there and the russian currency is trading over the past half hour and as you can see it's trading mixed it's actually gaining to the greenback and a losing value to the european currency and now on to the oil markets let's see what's happening there the oil is actually gaining a value rebounding following

a six month a low that it reached on friday in new york it's actually gaining for the first trading session in seven sessions is doing quite well i'll bring you all the latest in about fifteen minutes that's it for now all right thanks very much natasha for that interview coming up in a few minutes after recap of our headlines stay with us here on are today.
