is not and the russian capital you're watching r t i'm marina joshie deeply divided the e.u. leaders are gearing up for a summit this thursday this is german chancellor angela merkel insisted there will be no debt share in europe a stance that won't sit well with troubled states such as spain and italy and there's also no relief for greece where the country's most vulnerable suffering under a staring as artie's jacob greece now reports. dealing with the problems facing disabled greeks on a daily basis is all too familiar with the realities of the euro zone back to stare to the new government will be as you step beyond the bounds of the second bailout and. that means that you have car public. spending. within a month actually up to further eleven point five years she points out it's been

three months since anyone has been paid five to disability benefits it's really difficult to have a health problem in greece today fighting a long term battle with multiple cirrhosis the fee is now without state support stricken health care system is left out on the road. i want you because i have money from my job but that other people cannot even get their medications. from my family since. i get medications that they're calling. for help. so if you don't get. this money you cannot change austerity few state cutbacks often prove in the toughest of those who need the money the most cases like the fees are by no means unique in modern day greece but one question is now being asked of the government is it down to a simple lack of state funds or they may spending what little they do have nearly

full on the current government is largely made up of old factions new democracy and the past party made up the ruling coalition of the previous administration presiding over a period of cuts for the military remain somewhat shielded in two thousand and ten as debt ridden greece penned its first bailout deal signed away one billion euro to france and germany and we're. but it's contracts but even with no obvious conflicts looming is an expenditure still defended this is because. in the military we don't have so much clout as we have. in the social structure of for example the hospitals we have. that we don't have in the military greece is not the country that can stay without an active army but given the

current plight of many greeks it appears there's nothing left to axe from health care on the back of public pressure the new government is now seeking a reworking called the bailout conditions was the sun may have set on greece's latest round of political instability as economic troubles are still very much under the spotlight here greece happens. but while germany continues to call for more discipline among the debt ridden states the nation is unwilling to implement the same measures at home as according to a british m.p. thank you for it. we have another european summit to everybody seems to be disagreeing before they even get into the room. speaking to german colleagues speaking to for example finnish colleagues they're still enormously uncomfortable with the idea that they effectively guarantee the other countries in the euro zone's debts and the two sides to this deal they say on one side you're asking us

to guarantee you a debt to these euro bonds on the other side if we're going to do that we want to have control of how you spend your money we want to have control of your national budgets and so then the the we tend to be southern european countries as a no we're not going to give up that lack of sovereignty or not going to give you control of our. own national spending huge democratic deficit that would cost so that's the big argument to germany saying there's no guarantee unless you also give us control of the budget and then you say we're not going to give you control of our budget and interestingly just last week i'm in a fight where germany has decided they don't want to disclose the size of some of their debts either so she is so the saying one thing to others and they're not favored to do the same thing herself but on the other side of the atlantic the five biggest u.s. banks are drawing up contingency plans in case they fail one of them is j.p. morgan which among other financial institutions was recently downgraded by moody's

as max kaiser and seizing her would reveal later today the american giants would have been rated even lower without government support. there's coupling t.j. me you know the god rest his leg fellows. that you're not going to downgrade me more than to do categories or i'm going to have to cut off all your jumping again and then i'm going to have to make sure that you all get good gas to even get home today because i'm jamie cap with a gumbo and you know there's still the same kind of language you're wiretapping when you drop in on the mafia there's like so jokey the dead fish go is saying that you assume that you can always get a bid rigging done in a certain period of time or is going to come over there too soon but you know going to be living much longer. three in four pakistanis now consider the u.s.

an anime according to a new survey published in america ties between the two countries have recently hit new lows over the civilian casualties caused by ongoing u.s. drone attacks more than twenty people have been killed in militant attacks in pakistan over the past few days alone adding to the thousands of lives lost since the washington led war in afghanistan began eleven years ago are these guys and she can take a closer look at a complicated alliance. it's not only u.s. bombs that fly in pakistan but also the stream of demands and accusations from washington there are several things that where asking the pakistanis to do more and better number one they've got to do more about the safe havens inside their own country even ridicule the u.s. defense secretary has laughed at pakistan for being in the dark on the bin laden raid.

literally in washington's rhetoric now suggest that during the decade of war in afghanistan pakistan had been there myself instrumental ally in the region the united states could not have had security afghanistan in three weeks with minimum cost in terms of money and in terms of in terms of the lives of its soldiers that would not have been possible without fox and the assistance and help free sentiment towards the alliance with the us has fueled domestic insurgency in pakistan hoxton has lost about somewhere between five thousand to six thousand soldiers and paramilitary soldiers but more than that we've lost more than thirty five thousand civilians and these people died because of the spate of bombings in a cruel comparison the us has lost two thousand troops in afghanistan they want the pakistanis to do our dirty work for us and the pakistanis have simply said we've

supported you forward eleven years we can't do it anymore you're killing our stability they have to stop the civil war in the country they have to stop the war that's going on on their own territory because of their help for the united states so they have a number of problems which i think amount to a mass and they're going to be left high and dry when we leave many washington see a different picture of a country that does not fully do their. in exchange for the billions they'd sent them were given taxpayer money to this country which is not treating us were eight but we made a mistake we were we have trusted pakistan way too long the pakistanis see another mistake there's one mistake that we've committed we've put all our eggs in the american basket and part of the deterioration in our job is strategic position over the past decade since two thousand and one is because of this fact that we completely relied on the americans and it's not the first time they've before as well but but so to speak we made this mistake and we're trying to know correct that

mistake pakistan is now working hard on its regional alliances primarily with china but the us still needs pakistan washington has been able to continue drone strikes in pakistan likely because of its military leaders tacit agreement the us also needs the short route through pakistan to supply the troops in afghanistan islam was shouted down last year in response to the killing of two dozen pakistani soldiers but with elections approaching their end with people furious at the us there is little chance the pakistani policy makers will want to be seen as being more accommodating to the united states the mockery and condescending remarks from washington make those chances even slimmer during the last decade of war and have got is that pakistanis have dealt with an unprecedented insurgency in their own country terror which has killed an awful lot of people much more than the losses tarried by the us in afghanistan and that to a large extent was the price pakistan paid for its alliance with the us but these

days in washington it seems hardly anyone keeps that in mind when handing out another portion affect his ations and humiliation to the nation they once convinced to become their ally i'm going to check our reporting from washington r.t. . now u.s. wars also come at a high price for the american public are to special report focuses on the families whose loved ones died on foreign soil. excuse me can i speak with you sir let me let me explain my son died on the run and really going to agree we don't want to look for him my son isn't this is marina i don't know what is crap we are going to friday for you'll see there's. peace and sure in your country. if the country's. border in hope can help your family. you find in so many own says war. and meet some success.

now extended reports is coming your way at nine am g m t. watching r t the run will be briefed on the results of an international meeting on this year in crisis despite not being invited according to the office of u.n. peace envoy kofi annan earlier the u.s. objected to iran's participation in the talks on saturday aimed at uniting influential states behind proposals for a syrian led political transition russia and the west are divided on the issue of iran's involvement with the two nations along with a number of western and arab countries do it down the gathering but did write it isn't the only issue the two nations disagree on washington wants a handover of power in syria that would see president assad go for as moscow opposes the idea that other countries should dictate a political transition insisting it's a decision for the syrian people and political analysts are march sixth taking

sides in the conflict undermines the credibility of the effort because. iran has not been invited because of the firm u.s. position iran be excluded from any talks when it comes to syria the secretary of state made it very clear that basically because iran supports us they should be excluded from any talks with that which is absolutely absurd position to take because washington actually supports regime change so you know the countries on logic it should actually be excluded from any talks on the situation in syria so really this is washington's heavy hand coming down again on international affairs and particularly in this region and you know as russia has stated this conference coming together really well not much impact it excludes iran and it is very unfortunate this is unfortunate kofi annan who also insists that iran should be included has caved in to us will on this and has excluded iran from the upcoming event and you have the power of investigators has admitted it is unable to

determine who was behind the whole massacre in may that left one hundred eight civilians including many women and children dead that's after most western states at the time laid the blame squarely on the us government martin safe from globalist online magazine says he's not surprised the power fails to reach for the senate its conclusion. i think the report is so uncertain because the evidence it had to sift through was on certain this was not a cotton dried case despite misleading reports in the western press that it was i think this is a classic case were both public pundits and even the spokesman of major governments need to learn to watch their language until they know for sure what the facts of a situation are and this was not done in this case people shot from the hip objectivity requires caution it requires a restraint from pointing figures rushing to assign blame that is not responsible

threat to join the songs from the united states the threat that sweden once they got out of the into song would hand them over to the united states which would then prosecute him under the very controversial espionage act we don't know everything about what the u.s. government has done or might do but we know that a grand jury was impaneled in the united states to investigation of wiki leaks and bring charges we know that bradley manning's attorney believes they can use harsh treatment in u.s. custody was an attempt to get him to. testify against julian the songe there is a recently that they have the opportunity to try to get him and u.s. custody they will do so this is totally rational the documented fear. although we have joined the sound is hosting his own interview series here on r.t. and if you missed any of the ten episodes that house already aired they're still available in a special section of our website. i mean julian assange. it

proudly manned israel's military are now refusing to join the ranks of some of the man or even choosing prison over the national service our disposal or explains. a family united in grief but divided in loyalties the tears mixed with feelings of regret and loss and the perpetual question did their loved ones die serving the enemy. i used to see them as marchers i see them as victims but my brothers were victims of designers movement and they died fighting the room people yemen's family belongs to israel's two sect an offshoot of islam of about one hundred fifty thousand people there our being culture and language but are loyal to the jewish state for years their son served proudly in elite israeli units first as volunteers and for the last fifty years as conscripts and although it was the jews who asked to be drafted today a growing number of the youngsters choose prison over army service. years out of

many we are used as a tool to oppress so people the palestinians who want to take part in it anymore. spearheading the changing mood is this man whose two brothers and one uncle died serving in the i.d.f. outraged by many israeli government policies he works as a lawyer defending palestinian prisoners in israeli jails so the. we have a druze are palestinians and israel can't change that we have always been and will always be palestinians means uncle silo was killed while working in the israeli border police in one thousand nine hundred ninety his brother florida fell on christmas eve thirteen years later and then tragedy struck again when his older brother named after his fallen uncle was killed on mother's day by his bullets to a side bombing in lebanon. as you know ever since he died i do not celebrate mother's day i do not accept gifts from my remaining children i can't bear it so i

was spoiled and beautiful after he was killed i said no one will go to the army ever again it had been solid choice. to serve on the frontline if the commander of a combat unit he wanted to play his part fighting for his country but it's that same country that now his brother is making sure no one from the family puts on a uniform to defend ever again. if he were here now and sure they would have reached. i'm sure that they are proud of me but pride is a feeling lost in the anguish that stalks these walls the shadow of death a reminder of the all too high price this family's paid many israeli jews complain they treated as second class citizens because while it's true they do enjoy some benefits because of the army service like palestinians in israel they suffer inequalities in municipal budgets education and employment policy r t. o

a satellite us from the business desk there for us and it's all looking suspiciously positive today so where is the caption yes there is a catch and five over so we'll have that brussels later today and basically if we go by what our analysts have been saying is that we will not see much action so we will have a leader is talking about measures what should be done but normally that sense of disappoint investors because they want to see something done well let's take a look at the markets and we'll start with asia which is still the only one trader right now and the figures and pause that territory we can see that the neck is that it over one percent the hang seng out and just a notch there and with that financials and energy and particularly well when it comes to tokyo a weakening yen is there from the may help in there but in general investors are tracking gains that we saw overnight on the wall street so let's take a look at what happened there basically u.s. savors as i extended the games into a second day the dow and the nasdaq at point seven percent each egg zack lee and

there we had particularly positive housing data we also had was the order. on durable goods is that the sentiment that now when they come soon massa's looking ahead as i said looking at that if you solve it and basically what investors want to see are some measures being taken such as a firmer fiscal integrity as well as the creation of a banking union will be of course fallen out of mostly what happens for now let's take a look at currencies and see where they stand at this hour and as we can see the euro is still gaining against the u.s. dollar it remains on changed in five from the previous hour when it comes to the ruble those are the closing figures from yesterday straighted session when the ruble lost against both major currencies there are some markets will open and a half an hour from now of analysis of what happened there on wednesday the r.t.s. added almost one and a half percent to my six out of over one and a half percent and investors were particularly impressed by stronger crude prices

have been set that they're not that high compared to what we saw a couple of months ago with take a look at the latest prices will see that even though it is a mixed picture today is trading above that eighty dollars per barrel mark but still prices are hovering near eighteen month lows and we see the prime blenders out ninety three dollars and forty eight cents is now traded lower as you can see but at least light sweet is that which is providing some sort of a relief but analysts are saying this will not last very long it's all temporary and this life boost that we are seeing in oil prices have to do with the fact that there are reports signaling there will be more fuel demand because the u.s. economy is recovering and improving right now and other news to do with the europe as if the debt problem is there weren't enough now there's more trouble brewing within spiking sector several banks are under investigation right now for trying to manipulate interest rates at which banks lend to each other this comes after barclays was fined four hundred fifty million dollars after its traders lied to

make the bank look more secure the financial crisis and the problem isn't restricted to europe because. in the us are being monitored now as well. and this is how the business of the it looks as our of course next hour will have the opening figures for the russian markets so more to talk about marina but for now that's it for me. thanks very much for this days and coming up here on our top story this.
