failures of running. of the greek economy from its crisis because there are these is that they're only interested in finding a solution but in the spring at the moment and they just don't want any news from greece to be the picture that's all he says instead we're moving towards the nation in the nine hundred thirty s. in europe whereby you have two mountains competing against one another as to which one is the highest amount of this and banking losses and then a mountain of savings i have no where to go i do see these to be them in frustration over post-modern stagnation it's like now the average income of a household in the u.k. continues to spiral down and that's while the government revealed plans to shovel billions out of the welfare budget britain spirit of survival might help jumpstart the economy but as r.t. sarah ferguson now explains that will hardly be enough to drag the poor out of the financial swamp. britain's in the midst of
2:06 am
a double dip recession and everybody is feeling the pinch or all of a chilling new research has revealed that the gap between britain's rich and poor is widening in fact if you are one of the middle income or low income families in the way to tighten your belt even further it's still that by twenty twenty an average low income family could see their net income full by as much as fifteen percent i think is really worrying for low income households because it shows that we don't just have a growth problem if you like in the u.k. shows that even once growth those kick in households across the bottom half are going to be poor in twenty twenty than they were in twenty two now also alarming about this latest research is that it's based on very generous assumptions about the future growth in britain now what that means is that even if person manages to repeat and so you get this piece to the economy to start slowly dragging its way out of this recession the not everybody is going to benefit and the ones who are going to be hardest hit going to be those middle income and low income families now
2:07 am
in an age of austerity britain's government's been accused of waging war on britain's poor chancellor george osborne wants to cut a further ten billion from the welfare budget again having that knock on effect to middle income low income families who need to support the most well they are on today we caught up with the resolution foundation to talk to them about this latest research they conducted they're posing the all important question not just if and how voice and read but if it does say who it is he stands to gain and as a poor are getting poorer it seems the rich are using every opportunity to continue stuffing their pockets with cash that's next hour on the kaiser report. lloyds anti-fraud boss who stole two point four million pounds told police she deserved cash for long hours the fraud took place during the financial crisis when lloyds itself was receiving substantial amounts of taxpayer money so again. this woman for
2:08 am
some reason gets arrested and sent to five years in prison for doing the same exact thing that ironically or not her bank was receiving billions and billions of these taxpayer money out here to bail out for their own fraud that's the way things get at the end of the organized top talker saying is that those who are actually doing something to benefit society as this woman is obviously doing to try to put lloyd's out of business that i see fantastically here in the city of london that thousands of caucus stock or c. bankers investment bankers will now be laid off this is fantastic this means that we are doing our job so that george osborne and david cameron i say that we're here we're on a mission to put the city of london completely out of business and so far the news is good all those people are being shipped out of the city they're being forced to get real jobs shucking oysters down to cornwall and making course pasties for

a living and that's the way it should be because there are just caucus talk of terrorists. now the first day of the u.n. general assembly in new york was quite predictably marked by a boiling over of tension between iran and israel and president mahmoud ahmadinejad used his speech at the gathering to denounce israel's alleged nuclear stockpiles and its occupation of palestine iranian president's address to leaders and ministers from over one hundred countries prompted israel's ambassador to walk out of many jobs also implicitly accuse the u.s. of shielding israel and paving the way for a strike on iran now this comes just days after washington decided to remove an iranian militant group american. off terror a blacklist. the policy director of the national iranian american council believes the sudden change of heart over an organization striving to overthrow the iranian regime is now coincidence. u.s. officials went public they went to n.b.c.

and said is working with mossad to conduct assassinations inside of iran so there is clearly at least reportedly still a paramilitary aspect to this group and they are committed to advancing their political agenda by using violence and here's the thing if these guys could. pressure their way off the terrorists they could pour millions of dollars into the top lobbying firms in the united states and basically manufacture this campaign to achieve their political agenda here imagine what they're going to do now that the any case off the list and you have all this money that we don't know where it's coming from is swirling around and the next push is we need war with iraq there could be no mistake that this campaign was a campaign to make war more likely this was part of the push for war when you have negotiations between the u.s. and iran the number one hurdle from the iranian side is this perception that the united states doesn't actually want to negotiate
2:11 am
a resolution to the nuclear issue that this is about regime change just like on our side our number one concern is we can't trust the iranians that they don't want to nuclear weapons this adds fuel to the fire inside of iran that this is really about regime change in the united states is not going to accept any kind of diplomatic resolution. and you're watching our t.v. coming up this hour. it's a good idea to have an anti islamic sentiment for some reason absolutely not i'm not for hate speech but at the same time we have a first amendment party discusses the ethics and timing of a controversial as a muslim ad what's. with the arab spring forcing people to flee their homes and had to to europe many have found in their hour of need they have been turned down at the front door all that and more after a short break. lou
