colleagues that i've spoken to you and people who were there they said that what touched off this mass arrest was a thrown water bottle if that some people claim to have not even seen that well i even people who don't agree with the students' point of view on to we should have been very critical kind of decent in handling themselves there was a video that went viral of the police storming on to a bar how do you know and pepper spraying after a chair was thrown most of the people who were on that have you know were just there to be at the bar that they weren't there as part of a protest obviously the pressure is mounting from both sides of interim government is the seeing pressure people are kind of sick of these protests going on there's an election coming out and students really showing no signs of slowing down so if you in terms of an end in sight it's very hard to see how this will resolve itself or when. well stay with us here on r t still to come on the program britain's not

9:12 am
hopes fail the german blunders bank says the situation in greece is extremely worrying but isn't predicting the demise of the single currency should the greeks quit the euro a view certainly not shared by all if it won't happen if it won't become reality then we are really in a mess and it means automatically that this principle a domino effect all over europe because then we have also a question of moral hazard for example if you overdo it you pull out of the euro zone and every problem is solved nowhere then the others will also begin to start ok it's a very nice solution for us we all sort of adepts for so fast it's easier to pull out of the europe or to go ireland i did you know and also spain and italy that from the beginning the only question was where right now it's there in fact year zero skeptics feel that drastic german government action may be needed if europe's dominant economy is to avoid being swamped in the economic mire which is so called
9:13 am
corrects it or greek exit could cause the only logical to your solution for this problem where we are in is that germany parts of germany has to pull out of the euro then the new currency that we have will go through the sky we will have big difficulties because sasha and so on but we can live with it we can cope with it well it's not just here in germany that a post greek eurozone is being discussed finance ministers from all member states have been drawing up contingency plans to try and determine how a greek exit would affect their economies european leaders continue to throw their support behind greek single currency membership the country's rerun elections next month the rapidly looking like a referendum on the euro and everything but name france's socialist president speaking after the informal brussels summit looked like
9:14 am
a man trying to woo the greek electorate with rather softer talk than a sturdy. if. it was mentioned that we would be using the structural fund to support the growth efforts of greece as well so that the greek voters can be confident as to what support will come after june the seventeenth. so as the future of greece in the eurozone enters what could be its final act top e.u. figures say it's all down to its people let's wait for the people of greece to have their say on the seventeenth of june and we will not let all the sellers be by those who want to promote speculative scenarios let's wait i do the will of the greek people but it's a wait and see time but with deep resistance in greece towards austerity there's no clear outcome in sight for this crisis these are all over r.t. barely in. britain's banning world leaders who have committed human rights abuses

from attending the london olympics but the king of bahrain who is regimes accused of torture and killings in an opposition crackdown still came to dine with the queen last week human rights activist peter tatchell says britain and the u.s. have bahrain preferential treatment because it all comes down to oil. quite clearly there is double standards going on in the united states itself and stands accused of many great human rights abuses in abu ghraib in iraq and afghanistan it will surely and definitely be on the invitation list but i think that the consensus of british people is that our government as a democracy should not be dealing with the taylor shit we should not be going out of our way to embrace them and welcome them because we stand or we attempt to stand for human rights and democracy and therefore collusion with tyrannical regimes is completely against those principles britain and the united states have long historic ties with bahrain of course the united states has its fleet naval fleet
9:16 am
based there part of course oil you know this is all i'm afraid all about money and profit making and i think time and time again we've seen sadly western governments that trumpet their support for human rights often put them in second place when it comes to lucrative oil and arms deals i think also of course the royal family have a long historic ties with other rule families including the full family of bahrain but given the very grave human rights abuses of recent times it really is unconscionable that the british queen our head of state should be facing and welcoming the dictator of bahrain. turned out of some other stories making headlines across the globe a suicide bomb at a police station in turkey killed one police manager and sixteen other people two attackers tried to ram their vehicle into the building leading to a gunfight with guards the bomb was detonated shortly afterward unclear who's responsible for the attack but blame is being placed on a kurdish separatist group. president francois hollande says the mission of

9:18 am
there is an urgent review underway but as far as he's got a cheeky on reports from washington p.r. damage may already have been done. the u.s. marine fighter squadron one twenty two has switched its name from where walls to crusaders the symbol invoking christian conquest and colonization of muslims during the middle ages has been freshly painted on the squadrons f. eighteen fighter jets. by doing this by making us look like. exactly what we are which is the tenth version of a dime prior to say which began of the year ten ninety six we do three things and they all begin with the letter echo we had a rage our islamic and our allies we embolden our islamic enemies this is the going then we could do nothing more this serves as an accelerant or a lubricant for already angry and pissed off young islamic men and women mr weinstein says this is not the first time his foundation has to fight to remove crusaders symbols used by u.s.
9:19 am
military but it's not just symbols the idea that the u.s. is fighting a war against islam has infiltrated american military training the most recent incident involved of course teaching senior officers at the joint forces staff college that quote the u.s. is at war with islam and we ought to just recognize that we're at war with islam end of quote in response to a public backlash over the leaked information the chairman of the joint chiefs of staff general martin dempsey ordered to probe into entire islamic training materials mikey weinstein told us about a separate incident of the same kind we have the absolute eyewitness testimony where it's very very clear that the statement made is we have to kill it is law and this is to the cadets at the air force academy where every american citizen to put to go to get us through or the air force academy annapolis or west point cost four hundred thousand dollars and this is what they're being told this fundamentalist christian crusader. or seem was x.
9:20 am
to not only the air force academy at all over the you know the united states air force but it was. the marine corps navy and army in this video game christians are killing muslims a few years back it was a wildly popular game among american troops publicly rejoiced to recruit others in order to fight the enemy you believe. to kill the opposition sensually brigade you mikey weinstein says their organization helped stop the game from being delivered to u.s. troops serving abroad we got it stopped how it was getting into the care packages and being being shipped over all of our troops i guess along with toothbrushes and you know packets of peanuts there's a perception among many muslims that the u.s. is on a crusade in the islamic world but some argue it's more based on the idea of transforming the region rather than imposing the religion on them via regional sin of this entire enterprise which was the carter doctrine really positive. through the use of
9:21 am
american hard power we were going to be able to shape and determine the destiny of a very large part of the world when are we going to acknowledge that we are not going to be able to determine the fate of one point four billion muslims we don't have the wisdom we don't have the will we don't have the wallet what do you hear in the speeches by u.s. officials is usually something along these lines we're waging wars in muslim countries to fight terror bring about democracy peace and so on we'll never hear the words say but what kind of message does it send when their own rules call themselves the satan and could say the logos on their warplane i'm going to check out reporting from austin harvey. katie joins us now from the business desk for the market update so last hour was a mixed bag this time more about apple's exactly right we had the tax up ever so
9:22 am
slightly it didn't win now the foot down the dots that by dropping we've had a little fluctuation actually from year. did sells out stronger earlier in the session right now with mining and telecommunication companies they are really taking some pressure today now this sense of comments by italian prime minister say he's saying that the european union leaders do want those euro bonds i was talking about them yesterday as saying that it was probably a. pretty low interest rates and b. so we all thought she would euro bond the situation right now but his investors off sunday and they had to seek them out when we got the sense is that point seven percent down that surrounds probably negative territory i also want to mention the fact that trading shares a bank you were suspended in madrid today says negative sentiments coming from spain and apparently they've also the spanish government that ninety billion dollars so that's a concern and also as well this room is going on all the spanish banks will follow
9:23 am
suit i get is that also the common currency and see how all the sentiment of feeding into the trade is a favorite past now there's also business speculation that the european central bank could make news to provide more stimulus to really how the eurozone in its time of ney's now we've got one twenty five eleven thousand dropping of the common currency on the ruble it's had a very challenging indeed as you can see is dropping against the u.s. dollar and the euro not as investors really has safer haven such as the u.s. dollar so that leads us nicely on to the russian markets in their closing up in over an hour's time now is to try they are doing their most those are trading just typically tend to be thin but as you can see we've got drops now for the my six that was up the last of the r.c.s. to remain in negative territory oil prices are not helping out the russian markets in the session today ok moving on we're going to stay with the stocks and see how the blue chips are performing this hour because one of the course of the descent down in negative territory today now this a deal going on between turkish price of the moment there apparently the only bids
9:24 am
up the turkish banks getting right got some interesting ones watchable. and you might call down around the. one point nine percent down in the dumps today ok sticking with. the news. it could change one of its partners in the company's most promising offshore projects come as a daily newspaper said it's considering abandoning its partnership with stout so in developing the gas rich stockman fill in the barents sea a gas problem is in conflict with the norwegian working schemes and reportedly wants to replace it with dutch shell now russia's former deputy prime minister prime minister. who is also in charge of the energy sets a hey just become the c.e.o. of ross next now chris weaver from troika dialog tell us what that means to the company. that has led to the speculation that this must mean that the states now
9:25 am
intends to rely consolidate the sector make it bigger this is something that was talked about over the last decade of russia for example at one point was talking about creating something similar to saudis around closer to one big company controlled by the state controlling all the major energy that's so there's a lot of speculation right now there's no hard but i think we can certainly say that with the appointment of mr section it is more likely that we will see ruston after acquiring other assets becoming bigger becoming a bigger player. and let's have a look at those oil prices now the latest news in the oil well that is actually coming from nigeria is africa's top producer or you see an hour per day it is reportedly losing the u.s. as its biggest customer and that's because of surging output finally closes in north america that means nigeria is having to ship that oil now asia this is very significant indeed because if this is happening to nigeria we could see it
9:26 am
following suit elsewhere as you can see we've got oil gaining ever sought slightly this hour but those prices remain low and therefore it is a source of pressure for the russian markets i can excel i have the figures for the u.s. markets all right thanks very much kitty we can look forward to that in about fifteen minutes or in a few moments where moscow's tech for this was a division's that's coming your way after the headlines stay with us.
