5:01 am
you live with us here on our t.v. from moscow with me on what's a first the euro zone's merry go round of bailouts can continue germany's federal court rules that the new five hundred billion euro rescue fund is legal and berlin can join the euro zone's pots as crucial for funneling cash to failing economies and containing the crisis g.'s people all over reports. rise out of peter good to see you there not what have the judges said. well by rejecting a complaint against the european state billets the mechanism a seven hundred five hundred i beg your pardon billion euro part what they've said is that they can be signed into german law now they say that comes with some conditions though the maximum amount that germany will be able to put in is one
5:02 am
hundred and ninety billion now if they want to put in any more than that they're going to have to go to the they can have to go to the bundestag and it's going to have to be a vote on it also both houses of the german parliament are going to have to be kept up to date with exactly what that money is being spent on so it's a success that it's gone through the courts and is being rude legal into the german constitution but it does come with a few catches overall it's a full equal success course for angela merkel she backed this system wholeheartedly and of course she's got an election coming up next year she couldn't afford any major embarrassments where there are questions about it it has to go through a vote in the bundestag and that the amount has been capped could mean that she faces a few internal problems inside the journal german parliament if they want to try and increase the amount of money germany is going to give to those failing economies in the rest of the eurozone. right now peter what does this ruling mean
5:03 am
for the rest of the rope. well if you're in the governments of one of the countries that suffering at the hands of the debt crisis going to be quite happy at the moment it was very tense in the court we've been speaking to people around europe for the past few weeks also very tense there waiting for this result if it had been ruled unconstitutional it doesn't bear thinking about the fact that it has been is a bit of a ray of light in terms of the actual figures though when you look at it the fact that those conditions were put in place always their heads what happens if this needs to be renegotiated that five hundred billion euro ports that's not infinite it's got it's not a bottomless pit of cash what happens if other countries for by the way at the moment we're seeing greece needing that bailout money desperately what happens if all of that bailout money or too much of that bailout money spent on greece and say countries like italy or spain slip further into the economic mire does that mean
5:04 am
that there's just simply no cash left for them in terms of greece though they say they will be quite happy to hear that this is gone through but there's a huge meeting taking place in the country on wednesday now that is a meeting between the heads of the coalition the ruling coalition government there they have problems they can't decide how they're going to make the huge over ten billion worth of budget cuts they can decide how they're going to do that without hurting the greek people too much so it could end up if they can't make those cuts all of this decision in germany might afford by the wayside because the bottom line is if greece doesn't cut they don't get bailout money whatever the german constitutional court ruled on right to their societies peter oliver the reporting for us in berlin thank you very much. cries a while in spanish got to lou now one and a half million people took to the streets of the regional capital bus alone or to call for independence the end already attracted

5:06 am
governments and especially regulating the banking system. and that's why we are still in the crisis started with the credit crunch didn't save. the troubled euro is also causing a headache for the dutch the people of holland a concept balance it seems it doesn't really matter if your party is left or right as long as it once out of the euro is a wall in just a few minutes. unconfirmed reports suggest that a u.s. consulate staff member killed in an attack in the libyan city of benghazi was the ambassador to washington has confirmed one person was killed but didn't mention the identity american diplomatic missions in libya and egypt had been attacked by angry mobs of a u.s. made film set to insults the prophet muhammad a marina but niam has no. you took film attacking the prophet mohamed triggered
5:07 am
protests against us missions in cairo and then our mob set fire to the u.s. consulate after storming it now three injured members of libya's armed forces were reportedly taken away in an ambulance and the majority of the u.s. building was reportedly destroyed now earlier on tuesday hundreds of egypt sions marched to the u.s. embassy in cairo to protest this film many demonstrators were seen scaling the walls to take down the american flag this is the first time ever that the u.s. embassy in egypt has been attacked or reached now this the film that purportedly triggered this uprising against u.s. diplomatic missions was reportedly produced by an anti muslim group based in the
5:08 am
united states it depicts the prophet mohammad as a fraud and shows him having sex and calling for massacres reporting from new york r.t. . those revolution really rian egypt could only see a further rise in extremism and instability this is according to. an assistant professor of middle east and islamic politics at the university of denver. people like this i think are looking for a reaction they deeply are trying to promote a clash of civilizations and think americans are going to have to get used to the fact that as societies open up you're going to see protests such as the spike stream is the elements it's not just liberals and democrats and seculars secularists who have the right to protest but so do you know members of extreme fundamentalist groups they also have that right to challenge yours to keep them within the framework of the lost and to prevent them from creating instability overturning and overthrowing egypt's democratic transition there is fear that we're
5:09 am
going to see copycat sort of demonstrations. throughout the arab and muslim world and and let's hope that cooler pressure cooler heads can prevail. egypt's new president hasn't yet spoken out about the film which angered some headlines mohamed morsi though has been working to establish trade ties with washington to secure funds to help revive his country's economy but as artie's guy image again explains to such the poor comes at a high political price. it just needs money and the us needs to preserve its leverage in egypt so how do you make those who needs meet without going back to mubarak style leadership which egyptians rose up to the polls earlier in september the egyptian president accepted a delegation of u.s. officials as well as the c.e.o.'s of some fifty u.s. corporations looking to do business in egypt many of whom already have billions invested in the country mohammed morsi told them what they wanted to hear that
5:10 am
their investments were secure that he would help the companies expend in egypt by reducing red tape and last but not least that he would respect the peace treaty with israel as he's pretty sesar had in other words he said the hopes high with american officials and businessman the president is continuing the same old policy of mubarak but with the distance and some authority and some symbolism the he enjoys popular support and he can do a lot of things that would serve the americans with cultural blessing and religious missing top president morsi scored another point with the u.s. when during a visit to iran he slammed the regime and called for an intervention in syria regime about one point park six billion u.s. dollars in aid and on top of that back in august they received two billion dollars who could chart and of course the u.s. could talk to the leading hawks on syria so when you're receiving got much money from the u.s. and the charts how be surprised go to a summit and criticize syria it's not a big surprise really u.s.
5:11 am
aid always comes with strings attached for instance much of the military aid money to egypt has been spent in the u.s. and weapons and services contracts with the u.s. companies as for the rest is essentially a barrage of hey are who are maintaining the treaty with israel washington is now negotiating another package of perks for egypt one billion dollars in debt relief and around four. one hundred million dollars to improve the business climate in egypt but for the uighurs business as the deputy director of one of the american aid distribution agencies said for every dollar they invest they get eight dollars back in u.s. exports the u.s. policy on egypt apparently stays the same it could be phrased nothing personal just business the question for egyptians remains whether their new leader will ever pursue independent policies or whether he'll end up doing washington's bidding as he's predecessor did in washington i'm going to check and. you can find more

information on the story on our website and our t. dot com and while you're there online check out some other stories of four legged friends or you were soldiers as the pentagon creates a suburb you only expect to send into battle to aid troops. and of posting a tweet now seems on par with screaming your thoughts out of the window as twitter breaks its users promise you remain to reveal the identity of occupy wall street protesters get the full story and many more argy dot com. they are already varied it is at the forefront for voters in the netherlands as they go to the polls to choose whether country next the center right and center left party i'm neck and neck but is expected to stick to deficit reduction policies but people in the country are tired of austerity with the euro sceptics parties ready for last minute gains. reports. it was back in ninety ninety two when
5:13 am
a treaty was signed in this shadow with mass tricked into the other loans establishing the economic and monetary union leader paving the way for the creation of the single currency but today mounting the euro skepticism has spread to even countries considered poor eurozone nations including the very one where it all began and the dutch are taking their discontent to the pauls so i don't know. what he does best is for europe or have more jobs because of. read the shelf and the netherlands it's a pro european country of course it shouldn't come to the stream level that we see greece in a repeated fashion this annoyance among the dutch at having to bail out greece again and again has reached a point where some dutch customers refuse to pay the bill of greek restaurants because well they've already paid with bailout money taking on a euro skeptic and anti brussels stat has become a popular campaign strategy from the far right freedom party which is called for
5:14 am
the return of the dutch guilder to the once fringe leftist socialist party openly challenging the german led a steady strategy for europe protesting against our liberal government you know made to distinction between the rich. much much bigger gap part of the problem is you know did europe brussels has a lot of power now and people feel like they have nothing to say about what is going on with their money or we cannot make our own decisions anymore about our housing projects about our social system about our pensions people do not want to say a united europe is ok you know but you only need a united europe to make sure this piece we can do together and that there's no borders is all right but you know having just a small group of people over liberal people in brussels making up how we get how we spend our money the socialist sort of popularity in the past weeks and all those
5:15 am
support has waned slightly they're still expected to increase their seats in parliament we can see in europe. are becoming less convinced of the rationality of continued austerity policies begin to vote for parties who oppose the logic of austerity we've seen it in france we've seen it in region or elections in germany which makes america very worried about the elections next year and how the dutch vote could very well tip the balance of sentiment among citizens of the so-called core of the euro zone tesser sylvia r t the netherlands. your m.p. and derek i think i believe the voters in the netherlands are tired of paying for weaker euro zone states i think there's going to be a very difficult formation of the government given the fact that the liberals and the labor party were somehow have to work together they have to make up their mind
5:16 am
particularly the liberals have been very critical of brussels in general also the prime minister has been doing so and always been a close ally of mrs merkel in supporting the germans they what they're doing trying to prevent the european union turning into a transfer union where the northern part of europe is paying for the southern part and we see that our voters now arc increasingly getting suspicious of all this in trying to get away from it in the netherlands they're going to increase the retirement age from sixty five to sixty seven per from just recently reduces the retirement age from sixty two to sixty so people in the netherlands get the impression that they have to work longer in order to subsidize the reduction of the retirement dates in france so these are all things that are not putting for helping forward any idea of a common european union because some people have the idea they are paying for the others they are paying their bills and in france in particular some politicians
5:17 am
have the idea that they can do whatever they want because it's the germans who will have to pay and where the germans will also come the dutch and the finns and that is the reasons why these countries are very critical. the death toll in a plane crash in russia's far east has risen to at least attend art a four year old girl who survived the impaired died before she could be taken to hospital fourteen people including two crew members were on board at the time of the crash or passengers survived but are said to be in critical condition the antonov a twenty eight on a commercial flight in russia is why ease made a forced landing ten kilometers from the destination airport no calls has yet been established for the accident thursday has been declared a day of mourning in the country region. and reason and other news are making headlines around the world now factories fires in two major pakistan is cities have killed of these one hundred ninety one people and injured dozens more in the first blaze of their claimed dozens of lives at
5:18 am
a shoe factory in the hall erupted when employees were trying to turn in a generator during a blackout the second fire at the garment workshop in karate killed dozens of people the blazes they have angered the public over the authorities really are to address the energy issues in the country. the moral ceremonies have been held across the u.s. two month eleventh anniversary of the nine eleven tragedy the terrorist attacks left more than three thousand people dead and injured brock and michelle obama of knowledge of the day with a minute's silence at the white house it was time for the moment when a hijacked passenger plane crashed into the north tower of the world trade center in new york eleven years ago the attacks are thought to have been masterminded by osama bin laden prompted america's war on terror. so again politician julius malema has called for a national mind strike encouraging the escalation of the labor disorder that has

5:20 am
that's something that russia finds deplorable the statement from russia's foreign minister sergey lavrov also says that this exposes double standards in how some western countries deal with conflicts. so far the un has strongly condemned any terror attacks then our colleagues failed to condemn the recent terror attack on syrian security forces in damascus saying that it wasn't really a terrorist attack here as it targeted those who fought against the rebels that explanation frankly shocked me then we suggested condemning not just the attacks in aleppo but those across iraq as well where more than one hundred people died but our partners refrain from any strong statements which makes me think that their position must have changed dramatically and some western countries must deal with terror attacks are acceptable when it suits them but i wish they'd refuse this suspicion winsome but for now i have to keep it in. washington says there's no rift
5:21 am
with israel over iran's nuclear program saying they are both committed to prevent iran from developing atomic weapons there is comes after claims that barack obama rejected benjamin netanyahu is requests for meeting in washington next week netanyahu has recently been critical of the u.s. for failing to take a tough stance towards iran you want to washington to set a definite red lines over the actions of iran which if crossed a would lead to an aggressive response including an american led attack the obama administration has so far israel to call its rhetorical and give talks and sanctions a chance writer and journalist afshin rattansi says those calling for war are getting increasingly desperate. well never really seems out of touch at the moment even mitt romney obama's fellow contender for the presidential race is being strong this ridiculous comment from the israelis international media are interested in another war didn't seem to care that much about the deaths in the ensuing
5:22 am
destruction intel reports repeatedly say that iran is not pursuing a nuclear weapons program but thrown in the bin just by the way in the past few days saying that enrichment has actually decreased not the way it is an associated press and quite understand the machinations of what the nuclear debate in vienna actually is but now i think on iran increasingly it looks like the third world war is some time off a little i mean they don't you know is increasingly desperate but i think the fact that mr dempsey himself his exact words i would not want to be complicit on an israeli attack on iran speaks volumes i hope dempsey tells a bomber to stop the sanctions to. guantanamo detainees who died at the detention center over the weekend of i'm cause this should of been released in two thousand and nine yemeni citizen of nine lots of a was cleared away the evidence of his links to al qaeda and the taliban deemed unconvincing but he remained in the prison
5:23 am
as a u.s. stop returning prisoners to yemen because the country is considered too unstable attorney part is that come by questions the legality of the practice. we've long known that the detentions on time are political detentions this is not about a loss according these detentions most of the men who remain one hundred sixty eight men who remain are young age and reason they remain detained reason that remained was because it refracts out of his citizenship he was a yemeni citizen and president obama issued a moratorium on transfers to yemen in two thousand and nine that banned continues to exist it would block the transfer of yemenis who had been cleared or who have been cleared by the administration to lead fifty eight yemenis i want tom all right now been cleared by every person in the robin hood ministration a stinking matter to leave the prison and the reason they remain is because of the fact of where they are probably not anything other they have actually been alleged
5:24 am
to have done so it's very clear and at least with respect to the yemenis it's clear it's respect they get minnies their intentions are purely political and it is really a shame it should weigh very heavily on the united states and the courts and frankly the broader international community that's death and i think we need. to take advantage of this moment at least and we will energize and mobilize to try to finally where is the president so that more men do not. right it's all you do the business desk now with some market reaction to germany's benedikt on the rescue fund the numbers still going high in reno yes they are something has happened in states having so we're very excited here with the business team and of course the numbers are going to higher and higher every single minute i was like a look at first in the beginning with saw a mixed reaction but now investors are all seen very upbeat results was that the footsies out over a third of

5:27 am
council for their imports of gas but for russia europe is also an important call someone that wants to maintain that relationship. so. we would like to solve all the questions that remain obscure between us and the european commission as soon as possible so that we can work together come back with hopefully. we can also do any further complications with our european partners at the same time that russia will look for opportunities to sell its products. and of course we'll be monitoring this story as both sides. of the situation because let's face it everyone needs gas in this situation absolutely and with the amount of cars we're buying here in russia very much thank you all right thanks marina for that we'll catch up with you later and i'll bring you the headlines in a few moments and after that will head to russia's olympic city.
