demonstration rallies have been taking place across the country for over a week now after the prime minister announced an additional sixty five billion euros in cutbacks. he has the latest from madrid but it's getting louder by the minute definitely

so. that this particular protest will erupt in violence and whether this will cause many more grounds for concern around the whole europe and around spain in particular and the labor market specialist in business school in madrid believes bailing out the batted spanish banks was an unfortunate but necessary action. the only place you can get any growth right now is. export. growth and you do see the economies working very very hard on growing the export surplus in certain sectors so you know there's there's some change going on but that's not going to be enough to give the economy growth here it's shrinking over and you know all of the

bank bailouts i think we have two things go on you're in the middle of a crisis and you're terrified and and at the same time then. it does holds out of our liquidity so if it goes down it takes our money with it so we do this over numbers don't we the banks rather than my beaches. and that's what's happening. coming up in the program a little later this hour in the line of fire if there's no coincidence that you are beginning to see more and more of these attacks inside of israel as well as in the west bank to find out why new tourist attraction has triggered controversy in israel. but first fierce fighting between the syrian military and rebels continues to rage on for the second day in syria's northern economic hub aleppo the volunteers no sign of declining a day after the u.n. observer mission to the country was extended for thirty days meanwhile the french foreign minister has called on the syrian opposition to form

a provisional government and prepare to take over the reins of the country clashes are continuing to break out of the basket after rebel forces have been mostly driven out of the syrian capital by assad's army on friday report suggests the last few days of fighting have been the bloodiest since the conflict began. to reports the holy spirit of ramadan will in no way reconcile the enemies. it's a call for prayer that at times sounds like a mother's wail and at others like a sinister cry in a horror movie plumes of smoke are now competing with men there at sea on the damascus skyline. and few expect things to get any better in the coming months saturday is the first day of ramadan for many syrian muslims but not for all their fellow riches and the rebels that seem to disagree on just about everything also differ on the holy month is supposed to begin the start of ramadan is determined by the side of the new moon which varies from country to country to the weather so in

syria as well as in iran or amman it fell on saturday the rebels do decided to start fasting a day earlier in line with geopolitical allies like saudi arabia and turkey mixing religion and politics is becoming increasingly common in this seventeen month long struggle. we have something like. if we have to fry we don't care about the guy because when we die we will go through a law to heaven. and they come for secession neighborhood of damascus the mosque still bears the scars of clashes between the rebels and the army local men tell us about atrocities committed by the troops and how their faith their fight. and. become part against them even in ramadan you know. we.

are with god and god with. healing in the name of god is nothing new of course and in syrian folks calls there are indeed very few atheists. and while the enemies are praying to the same god they also seem to agree on at least one other thing that the holy month is unlikely to bring any responded to violence the holy month of ramadan is it time for a frantic shopping in time for sunset when muslims break their fast but here in what used to be an upscale residential area close to some. because you can barely find i think shops open most of them have been ravaged or destroyed like this one those that stayed intact closed and actually there's absolutely no short burst here in the only people that we've met so far on the army troops twenty five year old is a conscript who joined the army fresh out of university a year and

a half ago while islam exam to active duty soldiers from the dawn to dusk fasting. he and the majority of other troops in his unit will do it anyway. it's summer it's hearts and we are freezing and preach challenge from these terrorists but god is on our side it gives us strength for as long as it takes yet he recognizes that with the advent of from a done their efforts to stand what they call this crowd of terrorism is likely to face more challenges not only mosques have been used by the militarized the position for recruitment large crowds heading to prey make it easier for the rebels to infiltrate new areas. the reason why it's so hard to capture all these terrorists is because they can easily disguise themselves as civilians when we conduct our operations we have to let civilians and terrorists choose to move around while ramadan calls for charity and compassion syrian man observing it

routinely profess radin is to die for their cause but for the war to stop what they need is to be willing to live for it it's not a boycott artsy damascus syria. washington says it's seeking to put even more pressure on damascus while providing additional support to the rebels political analyst ivan eland thinks the u.s. is trying to bring down a sadder by any means while the syrian president is prepared to go down fighting. the united states would like russia to put pressure on assad to leave peacefully but i think it's very obvious that assad probably won't do that and i think that he's seen what happened in other countries when the president stepped down like mubarak you know that sort of thing and so i think he has no incentive to give up and to try to leave the country his back is to the wall and he's probably going to

fight it out we don't know exactly what the united states is doing and often times when the united states says it's giving non-lethal i these items are combat multipliers communications etc so they don't kill people directly but the indirect effect is to make the opposition more effective there are other arabic countries in turkey i think are helping out this side opponents and therefore the u.s. hands are clean but i think definitely there's probably some covert stuff going on in the united states says no the government says no but most assuredly if we go by past history there probably is something going on there. and i spoke exclusively with russia's envoy to the un vitaly churkin who explained moscow's position on the syrian conflict and you can watch the full interview here on r.t. a little later this hour or you can also find it on our website any time you like here's a quick taste of what else is waiting for it r t don't call read the chilling personal accounts of the survivors of the denver cinema shooting which left twelve people

society these days and you look at the impact that such a long term occupation has had on our own society it is no coincidence that you have been beginning to see more and more of these attacks inside of israel as well as in the west bank the models of this gun toting operation are causing a stir in israel so it's possible message but from the other side people here and over in israel live in a place where everything is defense if we don't defend ourselves if we don't but it was things happen bad things happen i disapprove i think that israeli government should educate the children. and educate children for peace and not to enable the children and teach them to fight one another whatever the outcome this side show in a land of on rist appears to be drawing plenty of fingers to the trigger hundreds

of tourists arrive in israel every day many of them deciding to give the settlements a shot this could be a fairground if it wasn't surrounded by real life not only is there a growing awareness of violence but also a slightly disturbing acceptance of the very often. brutal way of dealing with that policy r.t.e. television. a criminal investigation has been opened into an attack on a military convoy in southern russia two people were killed and three wounded during the incident that occurred in the republic of. several government opened fire when vehicles carrying servicemen were passing through a wooded area in sousa district authorities are currently searching for the perpetrators and in another of russia's republics in the north caucasus dagestan two militants have been killed in the shoot out after police call of them in an apartment building. let's take a quick look at some other stories making headlines around the globe at least nine

amounts of radiation into the atmosphere so well and see the japanese government has been accused in the past of failing to provide full information about the instant and of downplaying the dangers the fact that the reactors were down which was known to go by the government literally within days of the incident taking place and was not actually reported in the media for months afterwards which is almost the news that my greater the fish may now be bringing that radioactivity across the pacific has sparked a media frenzy. in the u.s. this is the first time such a large migrating fish has been shown to carry radioactivity so far this next item made a lot of u.s. consumers set up and take notice they've actually found low levels of radiation in seafood off the coast of california that raises a lot of alarm bells but there are fears that radiation in bluefin tuna is only the

first sign of much worse disaster to come for the west coast. if you go away. by. a. radiation axe prudes believe the real scale of the nuclear disaster will not be known for many decades as the radiation released during the meltdown is accumulating and the global environment. later this summer scientists will repeat their study of reduced fish but this time on a far way to seal then before and taking in a number of different species experts to this will provide the real task of just how much radiation has been flowing across from japanese waters to american shores i didn't wish to arts he was quoting from los angeles california. if you have a younger sibling it can feel awkward when they suddenly start performing you

that's exactly what's happening now with the u.s. as canada has overtaken it in terms of wealth and personal prosperity the healthiest in her latest edition of the resident took to the streets of new york to was people there why. for the first time in a long time canadians are wealthier than americans this week let's talk about why his emotional yeah we keep wrapping it up here don't worry. so that the secret canadians are watching and while it's a little bit better choice. to let the scottish rock show that it was from in the movie i love rain across the lake from canada because i we have lake erie there and we've to niagara falls last week and things look like they're thriving up there here not so much so what are they doing differently george w. bush. that's what happened we're still paying for eight years ago one hundred percent it was because of two thousand and eight when the market collapsed wouldn't

bush took all the regulations out exactly what happened to us the usa has been the richest country in the world for years and says really it has changes i don't know why but. maybe lots of things may have been because of this you know like what what what do you think the biggest. security does it concern you it also doesn't concern me no i think that they're good partners they're good neighbors but obviously we need to be doing something better what if the rest of the world starts surpassing us like canada as i would like it that's what i'm saying we need to start learning what they're doing right and figure out why we aren't do you think we're going to bother doing math or do you think that the pacific people in positions of power are just going to keep grabbing as much money as they can yeah it's not going to come from the people in power or what the secret was i know we worked hard we study you know now we have more family. we love life than money comes after do you

think money comes first for americans and that might be the problem maybe maybe that sounds reasonable you're not just giving houses to people that can't afford them. and have seen you know it's part of the american dream. having your own house right but that there's that theory isn't there in canada so either you're into your own house it doesn't really matter so i guess i'm with the river but push for the it could be american dream there's pretty much bush that means compared with americans canadians have a higher average household income their houses are worth more and they have a lower rate of unemployment so maybe it's time for americans to take notes on how canadians are running their democracy there. and so when you look at the moment here on. to the un one opposes western backed resolutions on syria that's off the headlines in a moment. wealthy
