nato summit in chicago marked by mass demonstrations resulting in fierce clashes with police a dozen reportedly injured and around sixty arrested after officers started using batons to disperse thousand strong crowds are he's on a star state churkin it was in the middle of what became the biggest rally in a week of anti-war protests she has more. 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 in chicago and says the action taken against demonstrators shows nato feels they're threatened by their call. 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 violence 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're calling the demonstrators violent they have

spent weeks and weeks and weeks saturating the media here with wild completely inaccurate cyber akkad 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 streets at the lawyers spend days trying to find they would not have done that if they did not feel enormously 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 unfold in the streets outside the summit some big announcements were made in saudi talks mainly focused on

afghanistan and missile defense in europe with nato as chief saying the shield is up and running with the interim capability or he's got reports this is the first step of this multi stage missile shield program in europe nato secretary general says for eighteen months they've been working on technical legal issues now and they're on track to carry out the program in full because the first stage involves mobile interceptors of those of the interceptors and radars installed on ships the plan is to have a land base element of the system deployed by twenty eighteen come. 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 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 kick steps to restore their balance that is to the ploy 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 shoulder 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 its billions of dollars that go to support terrorists and organized crime networks around the globe that's the kind of against them that 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 whole 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 enough to make it to make itself you. school the alliance is in the business of making wars rather than stopping them russia readying to get a new government monday when a recently inaugurated president putin unveils his team of ministers the deadline for forming the cabinet expires tuesday but the leadership says it's taken so long because of the need for a significant shake up r.t. sorry for a small. these appointments can really give us that the tone for the president

winter a little over a check of the summer olympics fast approaching all eyes on london gearing up for putting on a show to the world but as our found out there's a 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 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 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. 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 gets you we've got the best transport system in the world without question everybody telling people to work so work because we're responsible organization we're just giving back watching god. so that they understand that your research on 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 sports 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 our members will 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 olympic with barely two months left much of london twenty twelve is on the home straight but in getting from a to b. there is still plenty of hurdles ahead either bennett r t london. explore life in russia's coldest region. and how the people there rely heavily on animals for everything from food to companionship a special report coming your way a little more than an hour take a look. here the reindeer isn't everything for the herders. and when it suffers people do their best to help.
