this is. the headline. from an upcoming international meeting. this according to russia's foreign minister. of the border with syria. triggered by the u.s. led war in. this agreement between leaders played.

rejecting the idea of sharing the hopes. of the countries. for more now more insight on the mounting. head of the workers' party of belgium. today we're joined by peter merton c is a belgian politician of the worker's party and he's also the author of a book called how dare they which focuses on the european crisis and he tries to dissect and find alternative reasons behind what's going on in europe thanks very much mr martin's for joining us today for course the obvious question is the title of your book is how do you think who is they who are you referring to after the crisis of two thousand and eight. we asked ourselves. what

is the change finally after describes because i remember in two thousand and eight there were lots of colorations of for example sarkozy was also obama all the political leaders that said the financial sector and the financial capitalism we're going to take really radical measures to change that and i wanted to see for yourself to this declaration is what he's changed and i think basically in the financial level very slow to change the. and if there is something changed on the contrary those who are responsible for the crisis of two thousand and eight have had have received more power and more and even more financial resources so the most important figure i think of the book is the study of the. could. we see investment bank that says that one hundred percent of adult

population. in the world little. more than thirty eight percent of all the. earth's so if i understand correctly from your answer. refers to what the leaders obama sarkozy or the bankers or the elites who are you grouping them all together in that block some open question. but in each case there is little else in europe and in the united states that is composed. of industrial capitalists c.e.o.'s of. enterprises of bankers and also of some politician it's a circle the system an upper class from people that know each other well received a banking system in trouble again we have austrian banks in trouble even german banks that are supposedly safer spain is in big trouble now if the problems keep

persisting despite the solutions the leaders have offered in the past does that mean fundamentally the problem the root of the problem has not been solved i think the root of the problem is in the productive sector because there are a lot of forces that are telling that it's only a problem problem of the financial sector but in my vision you have this problem of overcapacity in the production that is present. today like the automobile factories and so traditionally what. economy do to resolve this problem that there is more capacity from production their capacity of course they get close to to get to restrict relations and so on and so on to demolish productivity capacity but neoliberal was also another way to tackle the crisis and this way was to create artificial consumption and they did it by

reducing taxes for the richest people in the united states afterwards in germany and everywhere in europe they did it to give to me look lost its credit cards. three four five credit cards the system existed to enlarge you to have artificial consumption and they did finally to also give to people. predatory loaning loans to sell them houses they knew very good that these people never could. pay them back and the problem of the banking in the banking crisis of two thousand and eight was that. small banks disappeared the bigger banks state and we have this problem that's called the failed syndrome it is this too big to fail reasoning that's holding everybody hostage the economies of europe hostage and even holding politicians in their heads now at what point will this reasoning be not enough

anymore you can't anymore say it's just simply too big to fail so in order to change things i think there will be a need to question from from from the from from the basic we need popular movements are we we are going to in my opinion to or europe which is a very large number of social conflicts we are seeing it already beginning of the beginning of the spring of the peoples and we're going to need it so it's true we're seeing a lot of social upheavals now across europe are you saying that only when these social upheavals reach critical mass will there be any change at all that this has got to happen or europe of course importance of three possible ways and there is the one way and this raised. from frank food from and from berlin this is a more authoritarian europe and they want to save the euro bioterror measures by taking national survey nitty overnights to the european level

by mixing in matters of salaries for example of counties of the pensions of france recent. crossing points in my view is that europe will separate again and that we have. two three or four europe's. strong states. the. one hand middle states like france belgium and luxembourg on the other hand and then the so-called states but it's nationalism again and you really have a conflict in europe and then there is a tertiary in my opinion that is the rate that give the people's mind the most movements are strong and if they find political translation it's will be possible to go to. something like a socialist europe or a group of so you dirty of corporation or banking system it's public to our energy

system it's probably better is democracy and one of the countries of course at this crossroads having to make a choice is greece you talked in your book about a lot of the myths surrounding greece why do you think it's being misrepresented if you have the official figures everyone can benefit and everyone can see that. the. greek people are working. more than two thousand and one or a year and that is for example more than six six hundred i would say year more than that in germany more than five hundred dollars a year more than in belgium so dismissive of the lazy greeks it doesn't exists and so i was asking myself why why are they telling search things on mainstream media. in germany in. belgium and i think it's very easy to

understand because of the. establishment who has the most. profits from this story since ten years that is the german establishment and the dutch establishment and so in creating these false conception of the greek people you can say but no it's no it's not a problem of economy it's not a problem of the eurozone it is a problem of lazy greeks what about. the euro project some would argue that the question of whether or not the euro is needed to pursue a united europe is a moot question that the fact that it's what it was chosen as a single currency years ago means that the decision has been made and there's no turning back do you agree with this so you have a europe. organization called table the european round table of industrialists and they are. beyond the scenes really of most powerful organization it was who has pushed this concept of one of euro. since the end of the eighty's

in politics and so from the beginning all. european monetary union was conceived as a concept to create a big competition europe that could compete competes with the united states needs etc etc and they knew very well that at the beginning of the euro there were large inequalities in europe so they knew it and they said oh it's no not a problem we create a system. called. and that was a treaty of mastic the norms of maastricht and they said no we're going to level up all the countries to prepare two thousand and two into the introduction of the euro and now we are ten years later and we see that the inequalities in europe. leveled up at all but it's created more inequalities than ever in the last

fifty years in europe and of course the country and focus right now with spain again we're seeing the same solution being prescribed assets prescribed to greece and ireland i think really that the financial sector in all of europe should be transformed tyrannically and that's why we need the public sector in friends in all over europe because now they can be allowed spain into a. but it's all a very short term measure as it's structurally it isn't changing a lot and i hope they will help as a short term but you need also measures at the long term in europe and so i instance it once stupidity what is stupidity stupidities do something twice again and think there will be another results because they said it will solve the crisis in greece now it's for five years greece is in recession it's becoming much worse and worse and worse and now they're going to take the same

program to spain in the they're expecting magically another result and just briefly talked about socialism two point zero one your book what exactly does that mean by doing to this computer system has to change seriously and i think we are going to need to again a socialist system where. there is a large public sector and will result in a system also where. democratic control and i think that for all those sectors that are to big to fail for humanity like banking sector like energy sectors if it is too big to feel for the future of humanity in the world you need to have a public control and indeed there are sources they say in belgium. and the father of the world it's working force people are working on thinking and creating things that the father of the world and then of the mother of the world they say

this nature. and this capitalist system has a problem with. this is all father and his own mother they are exploiting workforce and they are exploiting nature and socialism two point zero a my view is a system that is not exploiting its mother and father but it's a respecting workforce and she respects and peter. martin thanks very much for your time and my pleasure. wealthy british style sign some time to cut back on. markets why not come to. find out what's really happening to the global economy

with mike stronger for a no holds barred look at the global financial headlines tune in to kaiser report. there hasn't been anything yet on t.v. . it is to get the maximum political impact. before source material is what helps keep journalism honest we. thought. we wanted to present. something else. soon which brightened if you knew me about song from feinstein pression.

means from start totty dot com. the headlines on r.t. and excluding iran from an upcoming international meeting on syria is a show of double standards from the west this according to russia's foreign minister it's all as. turkey now sends all of the military units towards the border with syria. allies turning into enemies three to four pakistanis now think of the us as the anger has grown dramatically over civilian deaths from american drone attacks on the thousands killed in an insurgency troop triggered by the u.s. led war in afghanistan. by disagreements between e.u. leaders have plagued the blog summit even before it starts with germany angrily rejecting the idea of debt sharing the move crushing the hopes of spain and italy

two of the country's worst hit by the crisis. that's got some action here as you know neal good to see you today just a couple of hours now we'll soon know our final two of the european football championships yeah those three weeks have gone pretty fast from the roar and exactly right germany versus it is the big one tonight i'm getting the popcorn in for one we've got plenty more than just. thanks for joining us this thursday afternoon here in central moscow this is sport today on this is what we're looking at this hour. trouble thinking spain moved to within the game of a historic third straight major championship title done in portugal on penalties in the euro two thousand and twelve semifinal. continental quest germany italy preferred to go head to head in the second. half those european championships later

on thursday. dane painting europe is the seven see the car line was on day three wimbledon. it wasn't pretty but spain won't mind too much the reigning world and european champions qualifying for sunday's euro two thousand and twelve final after a long night in the nets kate partridge stayed up late to send us this report. it was a very forgettable first ninety minutes with a defensive display from both sides who flooded the midfield but neither could find any penetration in attack in fact there were more bookings than there were shots on target for in fact andres iniesta were the only one for spain and christiane or another with a couple for portugal and in the last minutes the captain got the chance to win it the ball to go a free kick for spain it brought down the ball fell to realm relish and he found asleep on the left hand side but now they could only blast over the bar well that meant it went to extra time and that seemed to spur spain into life in the ass down substitute tasers now as they drew too close range shots for rupert but they

couldn't make the breakthrough so he went to a penalty shoot out both sides missed their first shots and then when it came to st two to spain danielle they had to score for portugal but he missed and fabregas stepped up he hit the post but the ball still went in to make it forty to spain they go through to the final on july the first in kiev at the olympic arena and they have take on either nine hundred sixty eight winners italy or three time when there's germany. part reporting from the net joining spain in the final will be either germany or italy is in the second semifinal tonight in warsaw the italians will be seeking to continue their are all expected run while the germans must make history if they are to reach the final to reach of on port three caught up with fans from both sides of the divide. germany italy a true clash of the titans. these two countries to establish themselves as powerhouses of european football over the last seventy years germany have looked

imperious so far in this tournament played for one for their supporters would have preferred a semi final clash against england but instead they will have to pick their wits against an italian side who have never managed to beat a major tournament was a little bit of course and a lot of my friends saying so we are not able to beach to tell you but for me it's clear this time it's it's the exception that's going to govern the route. no one gave it much hope before this tournament started they were humbled by rusher and the only warm up game was some of the players were caught up in yet another corruption scandal on the eve of euro two thousand and twelve. in the first part in first turn easily was not so good the about we played that we made people think that we were not so good then than we do at the end you show us so the last match against england was perfect yeah we decided to win because we played very well germany a well known for their forward thinking and efficiency and the zero's

a sunny no exception that even created a mobile fan embassy to help out those supporters who are in need of assistance these have been in existence since the world cup in italy in one nine hundred ninety s. and the mobile embassy receives funding from the german football and provide a vital service to fans we started our website seven months ago we are producing to every every match we are producing a frenzy and we have a fan guide we have a helpline where fans can contact us twenty four hours in case they have any problems also was reasonably quiet the day before the match the vast majority of sports has yet to arrive in the polish capital however expect a fantastic atmosphere on thursday as two of the biggest powerhouses and world football not colons for. yes to be euro two thousand and twelve final. fortunately euro two thousand and twelve championships are coming to an end in poland the last games played in a country taking place on thursday at the was on national stadium just behind me

well over all the tournament has been very well received by the locals on the holds visiting fans and everyone will be hoping for a classy encounter with italy take on germany richard d'arcy. cannot wait for that one let's move to tennis where day three of wimbledon was suspended for a time because of rain well then again what's new in london but there was still enough time for third seed roger federer to finish his match and took place in the third round six time champion federer always in control against italian fabio fognini winning out six one six three six two after the match the fed express give this assessment of is a. bit more to be quite honest obviously it's hard to get into the match when you're down and i was serving well that. you know you're not going to get many chances throughout the movie against me when i'm serving. it was most obvious it's frustrating. russian real interest on the day centered around

mikail youzhny and igor andree have twenty six seed usually easing into the next stage with a straight sets win over and legal servant is. under we have is back denise system in his victory while late in the day reigning champion novak djokovic kept on track with a three set win over american ryan morrison. a big shock in the women's side of action meanwhile in london seventh seed carline wozniacki crushing out in the first round of a grand slam for just the second ever time austrian up and comer to mirror losing the first set against the dane but not her mental resolve the twenty one year old buckling back from the brink in the second before really settling into a rhythm in the third five seven seven five six four how did. the three. top ten opponents. two similar nazi surprises for kim clijsters with the belgian too good for. the twenty nine year old hannah compared to the winners in

the street sets victory six three six three the final score virat on the real but. self showing little rust in her comeback from a shoulder injury which forced her to miss the french open the twenty seven year old beating sylvia soulé espinosa in three welcome patriots reoccur lanka saw florida as the main guest lino to also advance into the third. now at just under a month to go before the start of the olympic games london mera boris johnson says the city is ready to welcome the world johnson was speaking of the iconic image of the games the five rings were lowered from the capitals equally as iconic tower bridge the games which start on the twenty seventh of july will be the first in london since nine hundred forty eight were ten thousand are pleats and millions of spectators are expected to descend on the english capital. in this any city has ever been at this stage of the olympic president probably

better that the international olympic committee would say one of the mazy job the liberal authority. in getting london ready and that's a big big invitation from us to the world it's saying here we are folks who are ready come to london and finally back to football where major sports minute factual has had a scheme aimed at the scoring talent that may have been missed the first time around unfortunately our very own robert downey he's a little too old for the fifteen to twenty age group but there's a whole lot more in russia to fit the bill perfectly. they love the game they have the skills and have been dreaming of becoming football stars here is there a shot at the touch. with the night jones program seeking gifted players

from all over the globe from sixteen to twenty years old and strictly without professional contracts the russian selection saw dozens of contenders exploited and assessed by professional coaches at the table when you margaret look at this he did all the hard work and failed to score he looks great but i want to make sure he's got what it takes to finish the nineteen ninety three russian cup winner. and t.v. commentator on day to life and he's call it based the hard test on sunday selecting only four lucky ones who represent the country in the finals in barcelona among the magnificent one hundred nature all born talents from full over the world fighting for their dreams to come true by a price is sixteen out of one hundred ten global participants will go on the global for the football tour to best's nike teams like you vandals like manchester united the better for ever even if they aren't their future looks promising for the other

post school i presume that some of these guys most likely those four who will be chosen today will be able to start playing in the russian premier league or the first division in a couple of years so if you're curious you can follow the winners careers and see if i'm right and here they are all go get it on my nets good luck and legs locksmith are not the ones who made it to the finals but maybe still at the very beginning of a long and glorious way. while useful you can always see if a player is really good even when he fails you see the has the skills it is the way he acts it really matters and any of these people have the potential to play a professional level. robert unknown r.t. moscow. and that is where we end the sport from the nuts it for me for the day mr paul scott will be here in just under two hours with more weather next.
