funnel money directly to struggling financial institutions for the first time the largest economy have strongly opposed this opinion this option rather but was forced to give in after insistence from spain and italy the german parliament also approved the so-called fiscal pact which sets even tougher budget rules for eurozone nations dr jack russell is professor of political economy at st mary's college in california says the measures which even leaders hail as a breakthrough won't solve the blocks core problems. you can bail out the banks but that's no guarantee you're going to get economic growth which is what you must have in in the longer run and what i see when brussels and this growth pact is it's very much tokenism at this quite that just moving money around from the european investment bank and so forth and the amount is grossly insufficient to stimulate growth so that whole picture has to be further developed the euro crisis is really three crisis things in one three dimensions and one is the sovereign debt crisis

another is the banking crisis which is becoming more visible and they sustain but the other is the economic crisis the really consummate and of course we know how europe is rapidly is slipping into recession and various other countries and as long as that growth does not occur it's going to feed back and exacerbate both the banking and the sovereign debt crisis. now italy has been in the eye of the eurozone storm for weeks now and while prime minister mario monti may have returned from the east summit as a winner he's facing tough times at home italians are becoming increasingly angry about the government's austerity push with alternative political forces gaining popularity and as r.t. sarah first reports some people seemingly would rather trust a comic than their prime minister that italy's economic situation it's no laughing matter that might come as some surprise that it's full of a t.v.

comedian that paid. the latest character to still italy's political spotlight as the year in crisis continued voters have become increasingly disillusioned with mainstream politics and a radical a populous bridge and was waiting movements such as youth organization and the right have been growing in force and popularity that they could alone and his five star movement now thrive on ly shunning traditional media and gaining huge respect with its younger generation something that technocrat premier nary a monti has say far failed to do they're all whispering about young people but young people are not really represented in these don't think it goes off people in government. trades very often. old people which. took the right feeling off what you said really happening in the county we're trying to make you can you to change that's the point you have tried with some kind

of policies which is merely bodies and policy if you want to talk about that and now it's austerity so it's selling everything the state does not have to control anything about the economy but it is not just is not working with elections across europe marked by a decline in turnout it's leeds recent local election results were alarming with a third of those eligible to vote staying home and mainstream parties losing to the prey to. in a major way all parties traditional parties just are not realizing that. things are changing so quickly and they are all told they are trying to. very innovative themselves but they just are not able and very low in this situation is moving like a green. i mean because you can jump from an argument to another one and he's

always winner currently in a status suspended democracy when he's an elected government trying to flee out of the financial storm the question on everybody's lips does better pay so it's made less than the chance when next year's elections come around the parties are now taking very seriously because a couple weeks ago he won some major victories in local elections in italy including that. position in a significant city in italy and other places and i think he's filled a vacuum and so the parties on the right on the left the democratic party the party the mainstream center left is very worried by the threat he poses now whether he. can become a political party i'm very doubtful of that but it certainly has struck a chord with a certain type of you know young activists who are fed up with italy's preschool class and it's not just the populations of greece spain and france who seem formally dispels by the own going quite if i mean it's like the pirate party in

germany and five star in italy are gaining solid ground as the year is in state looks increasingly wobbly i think it's going to survive even if. you just want to survive. we need to change it now be it's least for the funnyman he'll find a solution to the crisis it leaves no stranger to performance in its parliament but the decisions of the last. boy leader left the country with one in three unemployed myatt in debt with its economy sinking the euro project might now seem to many like a bad joke and it's one that's left us all wondering just what the punch line will be there for. right. now later today max guys are in safe harbor dig deeper into financial woes in the e.u. and further afield globally and expose those who are making things even worse.

russia's stop human rights watchdog is planning to revise recently introduced laws banning what lawmakers describe as gay propaganda and some of the country's cities a similar bill may also be introduced on a nationwide scale and while the lawmakers say they are not fighting against homosexuality gay rights activists say the measures will make their community more isolated than ever. reports. these two girls known as tattoo once made a fortune by pretending to be lesbian just a decade ago their cases were broadcast worldwide taking them to the top charts across the globe today it would have likely been punished by a view adopted inside the russian cities advance propoganda of lesbian homosexuals bisexual relations and transgenderism to the mind as the fines go up to seventeen

thousand dollars a year of those. are talking about the propaganda of same sex relations and the whole. society as lesbians homosexuals by search was and transgenders are often referred to their activities have developed a certain artistic anesthetics style were promoted heavily on stage and performances as fashionable and up to date. you have to understand we're not fighting against sexual minorities the legislation is aimed at protecting children and the under-aged we're not meddling with anybody's private life here with. these good. rights activists say the nor lacks clarity and allows too much work for interpretation by police which could see credit downs any time with the community wants to highlight the prejudices they say below also puts hip propaganda of homosexuality on

a par with paedophilia which gay groups here will spread both ignorance and aggressive homophobia. with. good enough it aims to exclude members of l. g.b.t. groups from any public activities and deprive us of the chance to let the society know our needs and problems and equating us to the peril files is just meant to defame us and then money in the me have been together for over two years but believe they had a family many would any their biggest frustration used to be that they can get married but if the new law reaches moscow they see life getting much worse. socially it's an atrocious law that would be telling us we are worse than other people. i think our society not therefore it is good society is more tolerant and that's happened thanks to the fact that we used to come out and show that we exist that we are the same as others of the. tolerance to

the same sex relations in russia is far from hide the outcome of sexuality was illegal until nine hundred ninety three punishable by prison and anti-gay prejudice runs deep with much of the community remaining largely underground. most people raids in russia if not didn't end up in brawls and beatings with more police present than activists. the lawmakers say they only reflect the mood of the majority in the most recent polls show more than eighty percent of russian population is opposed to the idea of same sex marriage while almost russians think that gays and lesbians don't deserve the same rights as the rest of society. but you were a dog you wouldn't i don't understand why there is so much anger in my country based on a principle i don't know them there is lesbians never seen one but i'm strongly against them and i'm so tired of those years a living and pretending i don't exist or that i do but not the way that you would

like me to be. arty moscow is always more stories available for you at r.t. dot com including twitter taking a stand against so called and her natural anonymous profiles will take your personal information could be blocked from twitting to stamp out hate messages. lotsa russians they do what considers white and still label n.g.o.s that receive funding from abroad as foreign agents disposing they are for devotees to the public . well there is just a day to go before a full on iranian crude exports over to iran's nuclear program takes effect that as america's latest set of sanctions kicked in on friday the u.s.

however has granted china and singapore a last minute examples from financial penalties for buying brain oil this falls earlier waivers to more than a dozen other countries which includes india and turkey but unlike most of them china has always been opposed to us and literal sanctions on iran or an activist to be dismissed off he says that such measures never achieve what they supposedly intend and instead just hurt the most vulnerable. the sort of stated objective of both the united states and the european union as in carrying out the sanctions is that they are meant to persuade iran to come to the table and negotiations on their nuclear program but all we really feenan both historically when we look at iraq as well as now is that the iranian government absolved bears little to no branch or burden of what the sanctions are actually doing it's really what people

that feel the biggest burden iran now is faced with it extruding lehi some say twenty some go up to sixty percent of an inflation rate in the country so what we're really seeing and terms of the effect of the sanctions is not so much these state players and how they're affected but how ordinary people inside iran are actually getting affected by these policies and take a look at some other stories now from around the world egyptian president elect ahmed morsi will be sworn in on saturday a day after he rallied a massive crowd inquire as to where he promised to fight the ruling military council which recently change the constitution to weaken presidential powers transferring them to the generals instead huge protests have been demanding a complete power handover by the military which has been in control since last year's revolution toppled the mubarak regime morsy is first islamised and civilian elected leader. at least eight people are dead and scores have been wounded after

a third of the population classified as dangerously overweight yet despite more knowledge of the harmful effects of unhealthy eating america's waistline keeps growing the residence is in new york chewing the fat with people in the battle of the bulge. as the world's knowledge of science and medicine continues to grow so do our waistlines why this week let's talk about that most of the people is too lazy i think we're just lazy but i think that most of it is better to see your coach sleeping doing well to do the stuff even the cost of an early death. but nobody thinks because we don't do enough exercise and we large portions are cut down the portions everyone knows this it seems to be common knowledge no one's doing anything about it that's right because they don't have intestinal fortitude to follow through that's what is meant but the big one pathetic i think even though

our knowledge of science getting a lot bigger it's very concentrated i feel like a lot of it is in things like colleges and the higher educated but we're not transferring that knowledge to other people it's all caught in one place and route spreading it around the population enough so that's why we still enjoy things like fast food just because a lot of people are still ignorant to how bad it really is or what the calories oh that's because it's like a drug it is like a drug we're all addicts tell that delicious that's our problem what's your addiction we like to sit chocolate chip cookies i just think that poor middle class communities just don't have access to enough information and education about healthy living so is it government's responsibility to spread that or is it a personal responsibility thing for people to take care of themselves both i think it's both i think sinden mark thinks. there's a levy on each product so people are forced to buy less products i think but if you think that's fair shouldn't a person be able to buy whatever crap they want. yes but some governments need

money. you can't tell people you can't use peanut oil or whatever to cook your you know cook your food and so is it a try. causes of natural selection that if people are going to make bad choices they're going to die earlier and that's the way it should be going so whether or not you think it's a problem the modern world is getting fatter and fatter and that can't be a good thing for societies waste or bottom line. i'll be back with our quick recap of our top stories in just a moment stay with us. there
