people in the e.u. would risk of poverty including twenty million children this has become an all too common sight in european cities as a debt crisis and its effects drag on from madrid to athens and even brussels twenty three year old overall is one of many jobless and homeless europeans when he's not out looking for a job he said so this corner reading his favorite classics hoping to receive enough money from passers by to buy some food for himself and his dog. before the crisis i had an apartment i worked as a group leader in youth camps there hasn't been much of a difference for me since then except the bread is more expensive everything is more expensive if i need someone who gives me an opportunity and tells me ok you can work next week i'll say yes ok i'll try and if it works it works if not the nevermind. but the numbers don't paint a nice picture for people like your home here everything is increasing and defeats

almost all indicators the call for help to restore is and think everything is fine as it's. the job of each choir's no kind of picking hands or touch the most. this means that this is a higher consequences for people. and big companies are taking notice take you to lever for example the company behind a slew of consumer products from shampoos to ice cream has started to look at europe from a different angle the head of its european business told the financial times deutschland that poverty is returning to europe multinationals in fast moving consumer goods are seeing the state of poverty in europe as more than just a passing trend the thinking of the adjusting the strategies they use here and in point that was a big use in developing countries such as asia where you find packaging like this one from this asian store and what you call sachets for each piece is. much cheaper

than bigger packaging and therefore easier on the pockets of consumers a practice the company has already started doing in spain and greece people have to start saving on their most basic needs. shampoo foods so that's really showing you. what the crisis really means for many struggling people in europe there's while there are disproportionately burden on the individual citizen. specifically the increasing fear the rates fear the on the most basic problem so everyone uses it in their daily lives i'm sure this has a huge effect a crippling effect on people like simone a homeless woman and pensioner who only has three euros to spend each day. i can't feel different so i try to live where i can i don't see much my dainty much to all it's all because of the you're right many people have problems because of the

economy itself the fuel to the economy is contracting so there is much less tax collection than what we had before so mainly because of a huge guy out on tax collection that the portuguese government is again with and balanced budgets which was after all the main point of having the money from the from the troika i think that there is an invasion on the part of mainly burly men and barriers to have greece as the sole example of the medicine not working so in order to achieve that it is very important to portray portugal as a country that is not that is unlike greece ireland does a country that is unlike greece and everybody else has it as countries that are unlike greece so to say the problem that the greek problem then rupee correct arises as a problem part of the greek political ethos of the greek government is certain of greek history or culture or whatever the recession and austerity is not working

live from moscow this is arts he a deadly car bomb attack on a funeral procession in damascus has sparked a wave of mutual accusations by of course both the syrian government and the rebels there are still conflicting reports but it's thought as many as twenty seven people were killed the opposition claims the government staged it to divert attention from its other alleged large scale atrocities a syrian t.v. has released a preview of an interview with president assad to be aired later today and the

leader says syria needs more time to win the battle against terrorists and reject the possibility of imposing a no fly zone over the country but there was lucy catherine reports much of the western media coverage was directed against the picture assad is trying to paint even if that means sanitizing their own coverage. it was another disturbing example of the many atrocities committed throughout the syrian war a truck bomb with homemade explosives headed for a checkpoint to the entrance of syria's largest city. but the men that are loading it aren't assad forces they're one of the many groups fighting under the banner of the free syrian army and their captive is said to be a member of the should be a militia with very close ties to the outside government the video filmed by the new york times and turn into an on air segment by the b.b.c. captured about human rights groups called evidence of an attempted murder a potential war crime under international law review of rebels from the free syrian

army trying to use a prisoner as an unwitting suicide bomber in their attacks on government forces now the cameras didn't follow the prisoner who had no idea that while being blindfolded he was actually embarking on a suicide mission he simply thought that he was being given his freedom the very next morning he was said to have a scaped after the bombs failed to detonate and the b.b.c. had aired a story on august twenty second but this glimpse into the darker side of some of the tactics now being used in the uprising never aired again the story was also pulled from the b.b.c. website the network told me that this was due to copyright issues and this very video raises the question about whether such tactics may be more widespread among the opposition than what has been previously documented they have yet to draw the same level of scrutiny as the crimes committed by the government were challenged in syria is met with more whether by the government or the rebels the violence seems to be the name of the game and he further shatters the prospects for peace agreement reality for the civilians caught in this bitter war. for r.t.

and moscow american author and former university lecturer kevin barrett says it's not surprising that the powerful can push the media into wiping out all traces of what they believe the public must not see. it's pretty obvious what happened which is that the b.b.c. reported some news that higher ups in the western intelligence apparatus don't want them to report so they force them to take it out and that doesn't surprise me at all that's just one example of many examples of b.b.c. complicity in this military agenda you know the b.b.c. is heavily complicit in this series of wars of aggression that were triggered by the events of nine eleven and it's very sad because western journalism used to be more independent and today everybody and all the big outfits located in the big in which speaking countries are putting out propaganda twenty four seven three sixty. well a bit later this hour here on r.t. we have more insight on the syrian crisis we hear from a man who knows firsthand what operating in the volatile region is all about. but

again it's not a movie where the good guy can. make everything quiet in the city killing just two or three bad guys and after. the end of the movie. the beautiful woman. they have a lot of children it's not really since story it's middle east it's a story silage you are in after these. what it would be to do we know would be the real. you if there were able. to prevent of. killing. people and killing in someone is the border of iran it's between iran and you have. been one problem which is not so far so no one want to be involved.

no president can really do this and another thing that's connected with that is that a lot of these economic problems quite warm in the making and if you really look back at what caused the financial crisis of two thousand and eight it wasn't horror george bush's policies to get anyone with a paulson to hold it into a thirty year mortgage but it was also this the federal reserve policy of essentially giving up free money to banks when it comes to low interest rates and also bailouts and things like these problems or more structural in their deeper than just having a different face in the oval office and if you really think about it presidents get interchanged day they come and they go but these bankers. well get to the business in just a couple of minutes for now though the new york police department under fire from civil rights groups they say that they broke federal guidelines on information

attacks created a demographics unit this according to this superseded press that unit mapped unmonitored muslim owned businesses and also had police officials infiltrate mosques and muslim student groups throughout the city of new jersey according to reports the n.y.p.d. was also eavesdropping on conversations taking place between muslim americans now many civil rights lawyers say the n.y.p.d. violated any laws and civil liberties by targeting people based on their ethnicity or their language they also argue that laws were broken because officials were trying to gather information on people that did not commit any crimes so here we are nearly eleven years following the september eleventh tops and america's most powerful arms of law enforcement still appear to be targeting muslim americans this
