you are being interviewed it is put to the tales does count child greensburg's for breathing space and leaving e.u. leaders played on whether to show them that. they will break so called borders a series of neighbors building eight eleven as among the what a factor with over a dozen killed in all are placid. and how the deadly trend of our going forces are turning their weapons against nato troops helping to train them is adding get more challenges to the country's dreams of. this is coming to life for moscow hello and welcome to the program long considered to taboo to even mention leniency towards greece is now at the top of europe's agenda biters and bruised by a star ety athens has bags the use for breathing space and today the leaders of

france and germany will meet to discuss whether to granted but as aussies piece on of the report it really is a divisive issue. well over the next few weeks greece could find out its fate in the country's future as a part of the euro that's certainly going to be something that's up for discussion when france warland the french president arrives here in berlin for chats with chancellor angela merkel now the two have differing opinions over how the debt crisis in greece should be dealt with as well as across the eurozone in general. chancellor merkel very very big on wanting to see cuts she said that greece must stick to a very rigid plan in order to find eleven over eleven billion euros worth of cuts before the next round of bailout money which is to shortly francoise hollande in france saying this well they're a little bit more flexible when it comes to greece now this meeting that's going to take place here is really to try and make sure that they're both singing from the

same song sheet when it comes to what to do with athens it comes of course shortly before the greek prime minister heads to paris for talks with all and hopefully there will be a consensus between germany and france over what to do before then as far as the greeks a concerned they're looking for this next round of bailout money which is worth over thirty billion euros without which well greece is pretty much guaranteed to default and be kicked out of the euro zone all of this up for discussion as it stands at the moment which will be talked about here in berlin what is interesting is over the last few weeks we've seen greece really drop out of the headlines but the the bare facts are that well things haven't improved then it's not being jus two to good news economically that greece hasn't been making headlines things have continued as badly as ever really with unemployment still on the rise the country is still in recession and turning over negative growth so the problems in greece

haven't gone away the story may have disappeared from the headlines shortly but the problem still there and that's what's going to be discussed when the french president meets with the german chancellor here in berlin. regardless of whether greece is given more time is toxic to find will remain the same aggressive austerity. and cuts power under gavin marshall from the center of research and globalisation of things but those reforms will do much more harm than good. if you actually look at the situation what some heiress is complaining about is that he needs more time to implement reforms but what are the reforms there's three words which are use most commonly used austerity adjustment and growth if you simply take the rhetoric follow the policies and look at the facts you can actually translate the language into what it actually means so our stereotype means impoverishment adjustment means exploitation and growth means profits they undermine labor

they cut pensions cut social security cut health care spending cut all social spending in general hire more people from the public sector privatized the economy privatized the infrastructure privatized the water the electricity something foreign corporations can come in and buy everything up for cheap and this is also that they can get a bailout which the money simply goes to pay the banks just the interest on the loans to the banks so it's this massive scam and it's illegitimate for him to be saying that we simply need more time to impoverish our population. and for those of you with different people why national scandals is still ahead is out kaiser report coming up at seven thirty am chante and today well she's a relentless corruption hunting geotagging it's america's crisis fighting measures or lack of them. a man of the cal has a tube attached from its utter into its mouth that's

a bedroom aggies economic strategy is the sell feeding cal getting bigger and bigger so the quantitative easing is working the fat cats the fat cows on wall street they're getting fatter of course a fat cow generates more detritus through the theory of the cow which in this case is not fertilizing the economy it is burying the economy in layer after layer after layer of. waste. and let's move on. syria's neighbors are sounding the alarm as the country's protracted civil war pulls over the borders and threatens to spiral into a full scale regional conflict lebanon has reportedly deployed combat units to its north where around twelve people have been killed in a series of clashes between pro and anti assad supporters archies policy it takes a closer look at this prating unrest. the crisis in syria continues to

spill over into neighboring countries several people were killed in the northern libyan his city of tripoli during clashes between alawite and sunni muslims this comes amid growing evidence that massive amounts of weapons are being smuggled through live anonyma portably also through turkey to the syrian opposition now moscow has condemned this in the strongest terms and urged nations not to supply weapons to the syrian rebels at the same time the turkish government is investigating possible syrian links to a car bomb explosion on monday that killed nine people many of them children in the south east of the country they're all growing concerns in that the kurdish workers' party known as the p.k. k. is behind this blast although no one has come forward and came to sponsibility the p.k. k. is regarded as a terrorist organization by and by the united states and by the european union and ever since the violence in syria has spiraled there are growing concerns that they

are extending their influence and increasing their activities here in jordan to the situation remains fluid there are at least one hundred and fifty thousand syrian refugees who have crossed over into jordan male currently being housed in a number of temporary refugee shelters along the jordanian the syrian border but jordan is a country with few natural resources it has its own problems of scarcity of water in its own fragile economy and it is struggling to deal with this influx of refugees the camps overcrowded we've also heard reports of the outbreak of tuberculosis and other health risks the international community is struggling to deal with the situation the american president barack obama has warned that if syria moves or uses its chemical arsenal the united states will reconsider its decision not to launch any kind of military action in syria at the same time moscow has said that they cannot see any kind of unilateral action that they need. as to the international response that is agreed to by all sides and that consensus is

reached course there are to amman jordan. and political analysts and lower dr franklin lamb who is currently lebanese capital beirut as there is an overwhelming fear and on its population the concierge of my building who is syrian sometimes hides in my apartment they've been round up of syrian national news here in beirut in south beirut even and it's a great deal of fear people are saying not since the civil war have things been so likely to ignite or the people are feeling so insecure as you know there are two neighborhoods in tripoli the most certain for the the shia are alleyways and the battle to bani section right down the middle ironically is the name of the big street cause serious street and that really tells the tale up there but we have seen in beirut and other parts of the country

a similar division things are very much on the edge and it's not only the spillover of fact it's the fact that lebanon itself is so fragile and not quite a state in terms of that having a real central government that can enforce the laws and having a compromised army. and as he spoke to see or is deputy prime minister for economic affairs has warned some outside powers against carrying out threats of intervention and here's a quick look at the full interview coming your way next hour. yeah it might seem that military force can get you farther than anything else will but in reality it we've all seen that warfare doesn't get you anywhere politically in the situation in syria is very volatile or that any instance of armed combat will only escalate the hostilities and war is what we need is a similar taney a cease fire and what does that would be in line with the kofi annan plan the

geneva arrangement stance of our friends and the attitude of the syrian government is that which is published a resolution calling for national reconciliation will. attend that finding stability in afghanistan have suffered a setback after a wave of attacks on western troops by afghan soldiers around a dozen they to servicemen have been killed in the last couple of weeks alone inflicting further damage to hopes for postwar peace artes and the citric it looks into the reasons behind the deadly trend. the u.s. war in afghanistan is known as the longest military conflict in american history and as u.s. officials hope for a successful exit strategy by the year twenty fourteen an alarming new trend is spiking on the ground indicating that this may not happen so easily u.s. troops have been dying at record rates in so-called insider attacks at the hands of their afghan allies at least ten u.s.

troops have been killed in these attacks in the last two weeks alone this makes up for over thirty percent of u.s. military deaths in august throughout last year there have been at least forty such deaths in so-called green on blue attacks where members of afghan forces turning against western troops sixty nine people were wounded and one of many attempts to tackle the increasing problem a top u.s. general flew to afghanistan this week to address the issue only to have his plane become the target of a rocket attack experts say it's yet another sign of growing discontent in the war torn country as u.s. president barack obama says more needs to be done to protect u.s. troops from attacks by afghans thought of as partners the question of how exactly this should be done remains unanswered afghan officials have been attempting to spy on their own recruits to prevent these incidents but reports are growing that members of the afghan security forces are increasingly switching sides defecting to support the taliban in one recent incident for afghan army officials were charged

with supplying arms to the militants some experts explain the increased insider killings trend as a result of frustration with the length of the war others point to the fact that this comes after several scandals involving the conduct of u.s. troops on the ground from koran burnings to desecrating afghan bodies by you were needing on them and shocking videos that made headlines around the world the afghan wars in its eleventh year and the fact that this year has seen more deaths from insider attacks never before seen as a worrying trend for several reasons the attacks have highlighted the disconnect between the u.s. to exit strategy. to transfer most of the fighting power to afghan forces by twenty fourteen but the fact that the situation on the ground continues to be a lot more complicated that some u.s. officials try to downplay with chaos on the ground the question of whether the u.s. involvement deadline is feasible looms large as the party mosque and the u.s. base docs have a standby david says washington has created

a permanent state of war in afghanistan this is a war that the united states taxpayers are paying for both sides of we are paid not just back to stand but we are paying the taliban in afghanistan for safe passage down roads that's now a band's number one source of income when you're paying for both sides of the war a war without end a war that is brewing and generating hostility toward your country in afghanistan and in fact a stand you know to look for logic is focused this is that this is the momentum of the military machine that eisenhower warned us about fifty one years ago and it shows no sign of letting up. plenty of north course lined up for you in the program including trials by silence going ton of detainees appearing at court the bit from mentioning how they were tortured a toxic gained at protecting the cia's highly classified interrogation techniques.

plus a peaceful way to transform military heritage as an abandoned soviet top secret base gets a new life with a unique walk on the wild side. but first both julian assange has a legal team and ecuador likely to take britain to the international court of justice the top body of all disputes between states but it's only one option being loose out to secure the whistleblower safe passage to ecuador which duke a has vowed to prevent and speaking exclusively to r.t. spanish channel ecuador's foreign minister rita rated his country support for our son. all feeling good they would believe that great britain will realize how important it is to give the chance for a person to be saved so that he won't be living for years in an embassy and trust that nation's government we also believe that london will accept ecuador's sovereign decision if that doesn't happen to find a way out here but perhaps the only thing will be left with is going to the

international court of justice in the hague so that we can grant freedom to a son in washington and the u.s. is not our father or teacher to punish us if we have the same rights as they do julian assange is an example a symbol of freedom of speech but there are some countries which try to influence things and limit his freedom and even oppress him so that he stops doing what he's doing who want to make them understand that we're protecting freedom of speech as well as a right to life and personal integrity. and you can get chopped salvage it all songs a legal battle and find all at the size of his interview show on our website all he took all that has a look at it will tell says that for you right now the bit about the prize has some of the traits of moultrie away chop punch with demonstrators once again ahead of being actually. french kids tourists from that country get thrown in jail for that brace of the buddha statue in sri lanka.

just describing a grave basically they think that that's a very harmful thing to the united states but that is a cost of trying these people you know you need to clear the error with the truth to get a foreign you i don't think it looks good and it jeopardizes the credibility of these trials of the united states tries to do them to march in secret it's part of the mistake of even trying these people before military commissions these people should be tried in federal courts which have credibility around the world and have their procedures for protecting security but also being open and giving fair trials this is a mistake. loading tragedy has once again struck russia's southern cross nodar region four people have died after a river busted the banks following heavy rains it was caused by a tornado which carried water from the black sea power supplies were cut while the

used by servicemen edger off now lives in what used to be a boiler room for the entire base while former top notch facilities have more exotic inhabitants. this for instance used to be soldiers living quarters there were sleeping rooms here now they are occupied by monkeys and parents take a look. the course is not ashamed to capitalize on the widespread fascination for relics of the soviet era a former red army officer himself he knows that those bases were built to last and this concept certainly sells well that's why his safari park is not only about enjoying a wild nature experience but also providing more quaint means of entertainment but . if you would remind of what exactly used to be here is this nuclear bomb shelter it's two sets of velma doulas this is the first and this is the second. hundred fifty kilo ton bomb this still in great condition i reserve command point was

located here when it was a military base now we have removed it into a karaoke room you can see here until dawn and nobody will hear from behind these walls. but clearly the. park's main attraction is a large collection of african lions enjoying themselves in a record struct at savannah aleck took us for a rather thrilling walk inside but. i thought that a line safari park would work very well in the crimean environment and it did today we have fifty four lines living in our park thirteen with twenty four cages it gives a great opportunity for scientific studies of never before have we had such exclusive access to loans in this part of the world we have many difficulties which we are fighting the first year the park has been open for three months now where by the way there's the back master lurking behind you that. while former soviet bases are

taking over by nato to become once again militarily operational zuckoff is now thinking of turning another abandoned facility in crimea into an animal theme park and despite having already opened several zoos across the peninsula he says he's not in it for the profit there was more but. this is become my lifestyle you know i guess you've got to have a military background and be a little bit crazy to take on the whole they like us and of course to love animals you know my main aim is to learn to communicate with the animals and it seems to be working just fine. we are of one blood you and me on twee alexy russia reporting from crimea in ukraine. the drought in the u.s. continues to investors and consumers and daniels is our business right now good morning to you know a tough situation indeed problem isn't going away for the situation will once again bring violence and social unrest reports. every year my weekly

food stand is growing and much faster than my salary but there are fears that these here the price of food will increase sharply and not only because of a poor a crop harvest and russia but also a bad drought in the united states corn prices have already this kind of rockets at sixty percent in the past two months but why should we care that's because most corn is used to feed livestock and that means that very soon meat and poultry could also become more expensive as well as many corn based snacks and cereals global food prices jumped six percent in july alone the biggest monthly hike in three years and may not make you laugh if you live in europe all of the united states as people there have more disposable income but in the developing world where people spend up to eighty percent of their budgets on food some more and that's

a spike in the cost of basic products could even cause riots and social andress as we saw in a similar scenario back in two thousand and eight. in the united states warns that for food prices the worst is yet to come because see maybe another twenty five to thirty percent to the upside the way you'd feel as we could see of soybeans at twenty dollars we can see corn well over ten dollars it's very difficult for traders when we start to see the market breaking out and and getting into a parabolic move to look for a high but you know what i could see another twenty five to thirty percent just based off of the opinion of the farm community here in the states and again when you couple that with what's going on around the rest of the world and here with the glencore of the world are saying then i think we have to accept that as maybe fact . asian markets has chinese manufacturing his nine month lows in august the euro is extending gains of the greenback goes the fed holds off more bond purchases but now
