sara why in the balance pan-american trade blocks argue with the president was deposed in a coup he talks to the ousted leader in his first major interview since being forced out. clashes over cops in the train as rubber bullets are fired at thousands marching in madrid austerity looms large in return for rescue from brussels. and the un envoy urges the security council to force the regime and the rebels in syria to stick to the peace plan warning consequences will prompt if they don't comply.

why from our studios in central moscow you're watching archie with me and he said now it's good to have you with us two pm here in the russian capital our top story and a washington based trade and security group is refusing to follow similar blocks and what they see as power was isolation in the wake of last month's ousting of president lugo some have suspended the suspended the country saying such an institutional couth threatens democracies across the america the spanish language channel talked to fernando lugo in his first major interview since he was to post to camp reports. many describe what happened in pair of wires a quick and quiet revolution the country's democratically elected president was voted out of office by the parliament in a trial which lasted a few hours for poor performance as the opposition said paraguayans neighbors in latin america called it an institutional that threatens democracies around the

region just three hours and paraguayans predominantly right wing parliament voted for an on a little out of office analysts say it's partly because these powerful opposition didn't like the fact that president bush who was working to expand trade in partnership with other latin american countries like or ally venice well argentina brazil as of now regional trade groups you know sore and marcus or suspended because of president moves the impeachment in an exclusive interview with my colleague from r.t. spanish ousted president or not a little told us that he was basically threatened by the opposition to accept the terms of this parliament trial he said he was warned that if he didn't stand trial the military and some of the opposition groups would take to the streets with weapons and create havoc take a listen. to the new mosque it was being prepared the intelligence service told us that more killings like in the could district were going to happen this time would

be much more serious. i don't want to draw. violence and that's why we went along it was illegal and we are bruce's so for non-o. will go essentially says that he accepted this snappy trial to avoid provocations and eventually blood on the streets and this is most interesting because parent why could be an example of how even the threat of a provocation can be used as a tool to remove a democratically elected leader. but our full interview with parr way thousand president fernando go later on thursday here on our change. meanwhile independent journalist james corbett says trading interest in paraguayan might mean foreign forces were at play whether or not this particular cool coup or any particular coup was engineered by outside interests i think we have to be aware of the outside interests that do have economic incentives and political incentives for making sure

that these types of coups happen and that the political elite who again are the ones that tend to benefit from from a lot of the legislation that gets passed in the military coup. administrations stay in power and get to pass those types of laws certainly it does destabilize relations between those countries that had obviously a lot more in common with someone like lugo than someone like franco and of course franco no we're taking it to another level and intimating that he may be happy to take paraguay out of the markets or altogether and to open up direct negotiations with the united states for example on free trade agreements direct bilateral trade free trade agreements certainly it doesn't seem like this will be a good thing for any of paraguay's neighbors who are obviously concerned with the destabilization that's happening there and the retrogression that this represents in terms of paraguay sliding back into the type of all of our coal rule that's been in place for much of its political history. there were thirty line from moscow

still to come this hour a selective hearing over saudi arabia found turn out for the funeral but is their closest ally turning a blind eye to the violence in the country. and taking matters into their own hands why russian citizens are organizing aid in action to the devastated south after lacks last week's floods. but first there have been clashes in madrid as police crackdown on entier austerity demonstrators marching across the city security forces fired rubber bullets at thousands of people who walked out to support coal miners angry at the loss of industry subsidies that's as the prime minister announced new cuts and tax hikes to save sixty five billion euros in return for an e.u. bank bailout bill sociologist carlos. says the government is losing its legitimacy . if you had any sense of decency or even a fragment of the dignity that miners and the the protesters the indignados have

then he would resign with the rest of his government he's broken every campaign promise that he's made some even a comical levels you know his entire party was saying that raising the sales tax was you know one thinkable and all that and now we have a twenty one percent sales tax i think what we're seeing is really the impunity of a government that has a lot of people that pertain to you know. that had affinity with franco this government the fascist government forty years ago and have never had it before trial since then so i guess there's a culture of impunity among these folks the tendency is to think maybe that. protesters have become desensitized to all of the police violence because we've been dealing with it for a year but we saw pictures of you know images of an eleven year old child shot in the head with a rubber bullet and we've seen policemen with no with no badges of course that's become standard operating procedure for them basically i guess

a lot of the time slot easier to get people talking about the violence and debating that instead of debating you know the livelihoods of working people in this country . but people in spain wary their country could reach greek levels of financial turmoil with public anger growing in the streets greece meanwhile is struggling to boost confidence in its beleaguered banking sector nobel economics laureate edward prescott says the euro my collapse if weaker economies are allowed to stay here. if you like. for children and give more credit cards to go out and buy it but tell me that they have to behave responsibly and one of them doesn't. resolve the problems the problems that the germans and the french lend to somebody they should not align to and somebody who should not be borrowing should have been people monitoring the market i think there's a good chance of the paulding they may call bank upon the fall of the stay in the east you know. the euro may just completely collapse.

well you can watch the full interview with nobel economics laureate edward prescott in twenty minutes here on r.t. . tens of thousands of people attended a funeral in saudi arabia for activists killed during recent demonstrations the un ratz was fueled by the detention of dissidents and growing calls for political freedoms and civil rights political analyst dr morse and so they think the united states backing their contradicts the democracy it preaches. they sold the saudis with the backing of the americans they thought that this lands and people slaves under their government that's why the. people are peaceful people demonstrating over the months i mean duration. and this

they want a certain kind of dignity and honor and try to have social welfare in the place where we know yawn and produced from their district the united states backing this monarchy they say they want democracy and the freedom as a time when their friends. they are preventing their citizens living this kind of life there is a revolution covered up revolution where media does not cover all of this evidence . things are masks on the rise in order not to see and i guess there is a kind of revolution going on in saudi arabia and in other places will happen soon . but more footage of those protests is available for you at our t.v. dot com here's what else we've got online today pouring off the pitch all germans were glued to their t.v.'s watching a football match the country's parliament swiftly put a controversial privacy of all through. and

those who are behind bars freedom of self-expression. why from moscow the u.n. special envoy to syria is urging the security council to send a message to both syrian government and the opposition that there will be consequences if they don't comply with the peace by kofi annan also says president also has the scots with him forming of a transitional government and appointing someone as a middleman for the regime or tees up or not. joint special envoy kofi annan says first and foremost it's most important for the u.n. security council to act with one voice right now applying pressure on all parties in syria to comply with their responsibilities of the six point peace plan

a plan that calls for an immediate end to violence the joint special envoy says that the security council of course could even include consequences on parties that do not comply with their obligations to end the violence mr anon also indicated which he has over and over again that he believes that iran could play a very positive role in helping to end violence in the crisis in syria but as we've heard the u.s. and european countries say they do not want iran involved in dealing with the syrian crisis essentially the u.s. wouldn't sit at a table with there are big sticking point between security council members they still remain very much divided in what indicates that is the fact that there has to drop resolutions circulating right now within the security council one has been proposed by russia which calls for and three month extension of the u.n. supervision mission in syria the other which is now drafted by the european countries and supported by the u.s. calls for economic sanctions among other things against the syrian government if

the government does not comply with kofi annan six point peace plan what's missing according to what's been reported is that the draft proposed by western countries does not indicate any consequences for the opposition if they do not comply with the peace plan so while kofi annan is asking for the security council to adopt with one voice you still have a huge division taking place within the united nations and of course this is this is coming more than sixteen months after this crisis began in syria. syria's main opposition alliance has failed to persuade to help them out the president said during talks in moscow the syrian national council insisted that moscow before there can be any transition which russia doesn't agree with some analysts believe the opposition isn't really interested in mediation the only thing that the opposition wants at this point an alliance with the western countries and the countries in the gulf that are backing them is regime change in damascus they have

rejected the initial peace plan that was put forward by kofi anon and the united nations that was indorsed by the syrian government by other forces throughout the region by russia as well as china but the backers of the syrian national congress and the syrian so-called free syrian army have opposed any effort aimed at dialogue to bring about a political solution to this crisis they have refused to acknowledge any type of cease fire they have continued their aggressive activities against the syrian government and as a result of that the syrian government has had no choice except to engage in these military maneuvers that we've seen over the last couple of days the onus of the resolution to this crisis strictly lies with the armed opposition and also the opposition that is around the syrian national council as well as the other islamist

groups which have refuse all peace plans that have been put forward by the united nations envoy kofi annan. a little later in the program we picture of a conflict in syria from a different angle for the country one popular movie industry now ostracize arab states support. the massive flooding in russia's south that's killed more than one hundred sixty has spurred growing numbers of people into action hundreds of volunteers have been tackling the black sea crisis themselves on friday night thousands of homes were hit by what locals described as a tsunami why save those caused by torrential rains to get around the record levels of rainfall in invaded their property many other victims have everything now have to rebuild their lives from the beginning but they're not having to do it over artists having been among about organizing by the way but across the garbage from.

considered the regional emotional and funny in all syrian society there would be a man a storyteller who would sit in a cafe or just outside his home and tell stories and everybody would come to listen today this is what syrian drama does it tell simple and timeless stories about good and evil all ages and genders like it and it in it's all arab people but during the conflict in syria its trademark dramas have become yet another dividing factor gulf countries which had traditionally helped fund them withdrew from production live in a huge financial gap and the matters were made worse when the arab league called for a boycott of syrian satellite channels including drama ones they want to fight everything good in syria they don't want us to be. shows our drama to the work to show our history or the way we live the way we love each other the way we taking care of each other's that's why they stopped they
