parents ought to teach their children oh. if you're just joining us this is r.t. international with me kevin now in our top story now after the protests now the political panic a flurry of meetings have been held behind palestinian leaders jolted into action by massive demonstrations which turned violent thousands who are furious at the rising prices of basic goods skirmished with riot police across the west bank are his policy clear explains what's driven people to extremes. palestinian authority ministers are meeting to discuss ways of easing the economic situation of the ordinary palestinians across the west bank this was the source of demonstrations on monday which turned violent in the cities of hebron and nablus when dozens of youths burnt tires and blocked streets that dovetails with

a strike by municipal workers by taxi drivers as well as by those involved in the public transport sector people are really protesting against the rising cost of basic commodities you just need to look at fuel which has gone up by some five percent in recent times the palestinian authority is fast losing legitimacy amongst its own people this western backed government though has its hands tied because israel collects taxes on behalf of the palestinian authority at the same time while israelis can sell goods to palestinians they in turn cannot sell goods to his rabies so you have a situation where the palestinian economy is being held hostage by the israeli government and there's very little that the palestinians can do without the israelis giving their nod now the israelis are also eyeing with concern this growing discontent in the west bank and this is because they fear that it could result in the third intifada or third palestinian uprising against television to

this and we have been hearing some reports that there are those within the israeli government that are urging tel aviv to hand over money to the palestinian authority quickly to hand over tax collection money despite the fact that it is only supposed to happen at the end of the month but it is questionable whether or not this is going to ease the tensions within the palestinian authority we know their government employees have not received to date more than half of the august salaries the arab spring which took place in so many neighboring states here until now has bypassed the palestinian population but this does not mean that they aren't real schisms within palestinian society particularly over the rising cost of living policy r.t. kadima israel. told me the war people are angry at the palestinian leadership is actually the administration can do right now. yes there is anger against president abbas against prime minister fayyad against the overall authority not precisely

because of the crisis itself but because of the in action on more than one level on the level of negotiations with israel nothing is happening there is frustration among the palestinians on the level of frequency lation with hamas nothing is happening because there is also an impasse on that front and nothing is moving on and with this kind of impasse on the palestinian territories and with the prices going up skyrocketing day after day what can you expect more from the palestinian authority bring me the best magician on the to take over from someone for your prison a bus will they do it they cannot do it because the overall atmosphere around is not is not conducive at all for to provide economic prosperity coming out of it later in the program a waste of revolutionary fervor we look at have some of egypt's public services have suffered after the chaos of last year's revolt with rubbish piling up on the streets of the capital and also more victims of guantanamo too we hear about a culture of death in suspicious circumstances

a month detainee's there many of whom faced no charges. and you to create by russia's president putin's put energy giant gazprom under state protection is facing an anti monopoly probe by the e.u. but company officials say they're just attempts to push down gas prices r.t.c. got price cut off expensive. gas from isn't only an energy giant it's a strategic state company a worldwide known brands with the billions of assets thousands of kilometers of infrastructure massive resources and great influence on the russian economy it doesn't only supply millions of russians with energy but millions of western europeans as a while since just works with most members of the european union and according suits chief spokesperson said for decades has been able to successfully do business with western european borders but now it's experiencing political pressure at first these searches around a year ago and its daughter companies now this anti monopoly investigation held by

the european commission which is actually a political body getting involved in business related issues and basically of this a decree signed by the president on tuesday is aimed at protecting companies like gas from and is a proportion of the answer given to the situation and from now on all the question you would be enough towards me have to gazprom will have to be addressed directly to the state then a giant is being accused of being a monopoly but there are really a many other energy companies out there on the market it's a free choice for any consumer to decide which company they want to work with whereas it's not a free choice when it comes to the price of gas it does depend on market conditions and on the price of oil and according to gas problem using political pressure for it to lower its gas prices is very unlikely that it's going to be effective but just from says that it's still ready for business dialogue with its partners well

for a closer look at how this decree could affect russian companies doing business abroad we invite you to watch our business bulletin bit later this hour the propane gas from steel isn't the only thing preoccupied the trouble to you right now being prepared is feeling the heat these days as i meet sort of his chief paymasters on news of the debt inspectors not buying any half of greece's cut plans that so. coming up in a few minutes more details for you. the only human rights chief has said that both sides in the syrian conflict must share the blame for repeated violence navi pillay condemned the government's use of heavy weapons while the rebels she said should be held accountable for extra judicial execution and torture but it's a test for say the reports next some foreign powers are still turning a blind eye to the crimes committed by armed groups. the new joint u.n. arab league special envoy to syria has been tasked with trying to broker peace. month long conflict in syria has just called this task quote unquote nearly

impossible this is a different set to the stand he took when he first off the job he was optimistic in the beginning thinking that he could help pave the way for peace between the warring sides in syria also heard from the secretary general ban ki moon has the assad regime for all the atrocities they committed against the syrian people but also the rebel groups and the condemning both sides saying that that the choosing of violence and force rather than dialogue we've also heard. from human rights and we can live with it has been a staunchly critical of the assad regime and blaming condemning the regime for their treatment of their actions in this conflict but she's also come out and spoke against the rebel groups and any groups armed groups that have been committing atrocities against the syrian people she said that all sides should be held responsible for all their actions believe her from the u.s. secretary of state hillary clinton as well as french president both expressing

their support for the syrian rebels france has already been said to aid to three rebel regions in syria as of recent weeks now with a lot of consensus from the international community on how to approach the situation as well as conflicting messages on whose side is responsible for the atrocities the support that is being given to one side versus another it's not hard to understand why marber he has been calling his task now as nearly impossible the editor in chief of the syria tribune told us it's obvious that. syrians and close. only if the countries backing their rebels and sending them weapons and money stop doing so we can have a peaceful resolution of the crisis if the liberal he me is capable of convincing these countries and they don't do it then years he has a chance if not then i don't see he has any now when you see that you are supporting a liberal his mission to reach a peaceful resolution you should not be supporting sending weapons to militias and

specially that this militia is well known for being islamic radical militia and for committing atrocities against civilians what's happening in syria is quite similar to what has what happened before in afghanistan in the eighty's and yet the french president is determined to stand militia weapons and yet he claims that he supports a peaceful resolution is laying. however the program still receiving syria's neighbors the suffering and rest of their own a deadly suicide bombing of a police station wrong has stumbled as experts say a spike in bloodshed is the high price to paying for interfering in regional conflicts. there's a class warfare in the new u.s. but it's nothing to do with social status teachers there are walking out in the thousands demanding better pay and conditions and schools see a marked decline in staff and standards more and more families are taking the concept of homework to its ultimate conclusion as art is more important i explained now. yellow buses and traffic guards are the general indicators that america's new

this has forced public school students to lose teachers critical programs and worst of all a level of knowledge necessary for success the epidemic of an educated young americans was recently highlighted in a report which warns that u.s. children are not to being adequately prepared to compete in the global workforce a study conducted in part by the center for american progress found that china and india are moving greater numbers of children through their school systems and better preparing them for jobs in key industries in just eight years it's estimated that india will have four times more college graduates than the u.s. ironically four decades ago america was the world leader in education today among the top thirty industrialized countries the u.s. ranks twenty fifth in math literacy and twenty first in science nothing will change until there is a call sure it is being smart being educated is cool

you are true so liberty when you are. that's not happening in america we can talk about money to structure your trainee yada yada yada it won't change anything actually there is a change more than two million american parents like the liang's are homeschooling their children are reported seventy five percent increase since one thousand nine hundred ninety nine. a trend that some say may eventually be the best source of preparation for america's future merino poor ny r.t. new york. at r.t. dot com it's a pic we got lined up for you on our website tonight suicide bombing american style the u.s. army pick up some of the enemy's tactics only to take on militants with self guided explosive growth first or interests you plenty about online from us tonight also

hackers take down one of the web's top domain registers impeding access to millions of websites ours is still up and running though can i show you that you can read more on that story right there. good to have you with us tonight now a delicate balancing act looms for the greek pm antonis samaras says he meets one of his chief paymasters the president of the european central bank mario draghi the frankfurt talks could be especially hard given recent revelations that half of the greek government's plan cuts have been rejected by debt inspectors six out of twelve billion euros worth of austerity measures have been deemed either too vague or unrealistic if the greek government can't find something else to cut to make up the difference it may therefore be denied more bailout money meaning pretensions bankruptcy. journalist and lecturer at the university of you jian told us that if

the cuts go through it will only lead to more unrest. i think that this is going to be a very dark page in the story rick governance and also the greek parliament accepting such socially devastating measures to be dictated by our creditors who are quite openly of course blackmailing the greek government terence waiting yet another. part of the bailout agreement thirty one billions to be more precise it which are absolutely necessary and i think that under the threat of such force the force i think that the greek government in the end. is growing to accept these measures but of course this will open the way for an even bigger under the greater deterioration of the social crisis crisis that is now preventing brits we will see more and more unrest we're going to see major strikes very big demonstrations and

all sorts of expression of the the anger that this building up within society. will do some brief twelve people being killed in a blast new yemen's capital sanaa the target of the country's defense minister who escaped the attack on hand at least five of the dead there with a minister some witnesses said they heard gunfire as ambulances were arriving at the scene that attack comes just a week after al qaeda second in command who was killed in yemen. the former prime minister of france dominick de ville past being questioned by a paris police of a possible involvement in fraud officers are investigating a scam worth one point six million euro with a luxury hotel chain owned by a friend of his the real person is alleged to have received kickbacks from the business and is also accused of using the cash to fund political campaigns. a police officer has been killed in a suicide bombing outside a police station in istanbul that's also injured five it's just the latest in the standard turkey's most recent wave of violence which saw suicide bombings attacks

on military outposts and the kidnap of an m.p. the turkish terms of neighboring conflicts may have contributed to increasing tension in the country according to you have a survey there a political commentator and columnist. the entire summer has been seen for an escalating miles particularly in the south eastern provinces bordering iraq and syria it is now moving into this scene or you have stumbled fourteen million of population and this is another sign of. the pile of course of the cutoff of diplomatic relations a completely with between damascus and ankara led to new speculation new debate about whether or not turkey is crossing the line to our to. help the opposition forces by allowing transfer

of arms material etc etc this. leads certainly to a lot of. doubts glory that this kind of attitude would lead to a backlash. a transfer of violence. in lourdes turkey. one tonneau in in may two recently came a hunger strike has become the ninth detainee to die at the scandal ridden facility the prisoner was allegedly kept in complete isolation for being unruly though he was neither charged nor being prosecuted dawson and co-author of why peace and a contributor to what really happened dot com told us we may never know how he died it's going to be very hard to get to the bottom of it as to why as for why he wasn't released when he hasn't been charged with anything we may never know he may have been a victim of torture or witness torture or any number of things that the us wouldn't want to get out earlier in two thousand and six we have three so-called suicides

where people had rags stuffed in their mouths and also were hanged which is a little suspicious to suffocate yourself with a rag and also hang yourself but we know one of the methods of torture is dr boarding where rags are stuffed in prisoners' miles and there are tapes where this person died of suicide or not we're not going to know because he's categorized as an enemy combatant which is essentially a human being with no rights and as an american i'm completely ashamed of that because it's completely unconstitutional the revolution in egypt swept away the decades old dictatorship there but when it comes to sweeping the streets the country's new leadership isn't having so much success the prologue state of flux that followed last year's uprising has led to monday matters like basic public services to suffer with terms of garbage no rotting on the capital streets art is again a boy has got the story a revolution or a leftover that's already starting to cause a bit of a stink it took a gippsland one thousand days of mass protests to oust hosni mubarak yet in the

eighteen month they've encountered a far more pungent problem. residents don't wait for garbage collection instead they threw it out onto the streets and we have to collected. cairo has never been a particularly clean city but the growing piles of garbage have become a major blood on its revolutionary glory president mohamed morsi promised to solve the problem in his first one hundred days in office but more than two months into his reign he's yet to show any haste in the eliminating the waste and look at all of the law they said garbage fans were unable to access narrow alleyways we prepared small vehicles yet the regional government and cleaning commission violated the contracts which we go to that are here for many years kyra had its own environmental a friendless system of processing waste for a small fee the garbage collectors most of them christians one door to door picking

up organic left hours and fitting them to pigs that was until two thousand and nine when the pigs were called because of swine flu the mubarak government came up with some alternatives but they all collapsed alongside the regime owns it all going to kill us on this big used to be these again it remains now we have to pick up or they're going to material put it in containers but the problem is how to dispose of it we have no place to process it. from libya to egypt trash overload has become a major visible change brought by the arab spring and an unpleasant reminder that the previous governments were not as worthless as the revolutionaries bantered them well this is this is all. you can have very nice. well. burning like. the ever. tossed her. with

fifteen tons of garbage dumped on the streets of cairo every day more and more egyptians are now starting to see a difference between the politics of revolution and the policies of responsible government. the main assumption in all revolutions is that when an old leader is gone the quality of life can only get better and it's only later when the basic services start to crumble and when things people used to take for granted i'm no longer there that the revolution and the regime had to post finally getting a more realistic assessment of the work or r.t. . to see business news no natasha's there and a tough news of the latest initiative to protect russian companies abroad is going to work well essentially president putin signed a decree on tuesday it steps up the government's role as a negotiator is what it really does the companies will now have to get stake permission to deal with foreign regulators to provide the information and also to

sign contracts the state will also have to approve price changes in these contracts to discuss this and more details are now joined by like even he from north capitol in moscow hi thanks for joining saw how will this all over a fact russia's a strategic enterprises. well basically this is a rather harsh. act to force their eight year old business and it's followed by the recent invasion of the. authorities to gas brome offices its affiliates in our western europe obviously this is designed to prevent future do you still have a similar developments with other companies obviously it's going to impact not only nature all gas producers. but a vast variety of other strategically borton enterprises like thirty two allies

there's a lake with say producer of. the sybil or these are many other companies and this is obviously our unfortunate legislate. but as i understand mr putin they have to react to the you know without reaction this this would go too far. so western media was fast to say that the move was designed to hinder european union's probe into gazprom and a thousand like you agree with that it is related connected to gazprom. a well for me there is no any ambiguity in this act obviously two events are tightly connected one to another. all eyes are on gazprom obviously what about other strategic enterprises you mentioned some in the

fertilizer business and also the assembly zero of east la in the titanium business how will they be affected. yes as i mentioned just a few examples over the company with just quickly came to my mind companies would be a definite live to this new legislation but the thing is obviously it's preventive it's on time free markets and the obviously the first reaction would be. the negative trying to lecture russia to obey a their free market principles how their work this free market principles has been many times challenge the over the past four years let's remind too big to fail things and stuff so basically right now there is not a poor end for for the say this year on the road this is right there as a the point is to calm down and to elaborate some mutually accepted mutually.

beneficial. business line which would on one hand north challenge the companies which has well established. along with the relationship with the thirty customers and the other other here this company opened their doors and the certain before it used to be able to chip them the act how transparent they are so that must be on that door for mutual understanding and mutual cooperation. it does sound like the principle of resupply city is still at work very much so thank you very much for joining like the russian call to get from north capital in moscow and that's all we have time for in this edition of business i'll be back in about fifteen minutes time with all the latest for you look forward to begin there natasha thank you know coming up in a quarter of an hour from now kate's got sport fuel the reaction from the u.s.
