hello this is r.t. live from moscow this sunday evening it's kevin owen here with our roundup of the big stories of the past seven days and first protests against biting spending cuts continue throughout europe as people vent their anger over a bailout sponsored austerity must step instructions in madrid turn to violence earlier this week his police were forced to fire rubber bullets to calm the fears of the public the big dozens of arrests and injuries assays jacob great thing for development. for some time of grief in spain have occurred within the body of fancy austerity protesting the year is our first time passes their frustrations and anger only seems to be hardening for lessening the chances of a cloud providers and politician i think i'm not. that many people are already being fed a diet of police one hundred promises bruised protesters and battered buildings

becoming the euro zone's currency from athens to madrid capitals this week has been braced for an onslaught of the angry and indignant. to get out of the bleachers on the rez here are surging marchers job benefit us they just benefit very few people. on the european union on the banks these are attitudes of betrayal the first force that increase promised. more and that is the agreements between greece and it's not just in this state without any going for negotiations. for almost mismatch of and the other european leaders just to implement all of the. last athens sort firebombs amassed spaniards claim they were victims of police brutality chasing down protesters they

fired rubber bullets into crowds the injury count from just one night topping sixty this will last as long as austerity law says as neoliberal austerity. and as long as. it's going to last as long as it needs to last until people's daily needs met the m.t.s. territories rank and file have most recently been bolstered by portuguese protesters a nation known for its tolerance of bailout sponsored cutbacks reforms that put the onus of social security payments on workers appear a step too far but this week's hot spot remains madrid where three demonstrations oppose real resistance to the government's public sector cutbacks he the surround congress movement has called for the dissolution of parliament but the heavy claims made to the group more harm than good cause alone in separatism with the potential for spain to lose twenty percent of its current output more likely because then the

government yet more sleepless nights but prime minister a new budget shows no concessions to ante austerity protesters with forty billion euros a fresh cup. economists and activists alike have labeled the move as pandering to e.u. euro zone and i.m.f. demands adding fuel to the fire as people populate this central madrid sas day to hurl accusations at police and the politicians they shield. greece r.t. madrid. well it seems while some cerate their budget others pumping more money into its space program these days launching larger satellites and planning on bush's project some far away planets are appalling on also the cities that make their pitch one fee for announces the finalist of venues from twenty eighteen for world cup here in russia you can read all about the big spending on big stadiums and to come. in syria

a new wave of fighting has been reported in the second city of aleppo which is said to be seeing unprecedented clashes government forces claim they're beating back the rebel onslaught but the insurgents say they're talking only of successful offensives now casualties are mounting in the battle that began in july either way with neither side being able to seize the initiative so far dozens of also reportedly been killed in firefights in the suburbs of damascus this last week and meantime washington has pledged more multi-million dollar support to the rebels but russia's border such moves are only seven to sink syria deeper and more thoughts from political analyst jacob holder than he says washington considers the assad regime expendable. well it's a standard policy of the us government it is it is designed into our rulers of regimes that are independent of what might be called the us military empire and replace them with pro-u.s. rulers so we have the dichotomy of supporting dictators in country their loyal to

the us government in trying to oust dictators that are not loyal to the us government the u.s. is committed to the ouster of the assad regime and. whenever you hear the united nations it's just designed for the american taxpayer the american voter create the appearance that the u.s. is interested in spreading democracy and freedom when in fact it has a long history of supporting dictatorial regimes in saudi arabia even iran under the shah of iran syria itself don't forget that the cia used the assad regime to torture some of its rendition torture victims and so the the whatever goes on in the un is really ridiculous and senseless the the issue of syria has been raised at the annual un general assembly gathering this last week as russia called on those who support the rebels to stop sidestepping international law lowering question of whether iran the strong develop nuclear weapons to it was

also a heated debate with israel trying to draw up quite literally a case for intervention when important as in new york for us. as world leaders gathered for the annual u.n. general assembly international anger over and islamophobia american film was still blazing in the muslim world addressing the world body u.s. president barack obama condemned the video nonetheless defending the right to free speech as president of our country and commander in chief of our military i accept that people are going to call me awful things every day. and i will always defend their right to do so obama also pledged his support for arab spring nations like egypt and libya however when egypt's new president spoke at the un for the first time mohamed morsi said free speech will not be accepted as a free pass to insult islam holy prophet. the obscenities recently released as part

of an organized campaign against islamic sentences is unacceptable and requires a firm stand egypt respects freedom of expression one that is not directed towards one specific religion or culture but the opening of the un general assembly is usually criticized as political theater with a lot of talk this year however there was no talking with us president barack obama the leader of the country hosting the un left immediately after his speech on day one and held no bilateral meetings on day to the eighth and final speech of the always controversial iranian leader so accusations of corrupt western politics and a subtle tipping of the hat to the occupy wall street movement are we to believe that those who spend hundreds of millions of dollars in election campaigns have the interests of the people of the world at their heart in the united states and in europe their voices are not heard even if they constitute ninety nine percent of their societies meanwhile israel's prime minister benjamin netanyahu called for

a military all tomato on iran over its nuclear program using some surprising methods to illustrate his point this is a bomb this is a fuse a red line should be drawn right here. before we iran completes the second stage of nuclear enrichment. necessary to make a bomb israel stole the show in more ways than one will be. what's more the wiley coyote nuclear bomb. you're really going to pour tandon are you going to pretend that you don't know what a nuclear bomb hoax like. here israel. one downstairs and look in the basement on another us show russia's foreign minister sergei lavrov recalled another time problems were used at the u.n. executive to garner support for military intervention you see when my good friend

colin powell colin powell was shaking this violence some white powder in the security council. the narry can see what they're doing us unless we also writes the use of force against iraq we will do on their own thought the fuse three. and the turned out to be that there was no anthrax and that while today russia and the u.s. remain divided over how to end the civil war in syria moscow says some countries supporting the opposition are turning a blind eye to terrorist attacks committed by the rebels and you say pushed syria even deeper into the base of bloody internet strife the militarization of the conflict is continuing with the calls of an open intervention russia says confidence in the un has also been compromised by unilateral actions taken against countries like cuba iran and now syria there are consequences to unilateral

sanctions imposed by state states in the un to advance their political goals we have no doubt that such sanctions as nationally when they are applied next territorially weaken the unity of the international community and undermine the effectiveness of its efforts the un was originally founded as an arena for all parties to respectfully discuss issues and diplomatically collaborate on solutions as the sixty seventh year of the general assembly begins many are left wondering why at least one country has cemented a pattern of acting alone or enough r.t. new york. some stories making the day's world news now this hour a series of bomb attacks targeting shia community has killed at least twenty six people in iraq some sixty eight more injured in explosions in several cities in the south of the mainly shiite north the deadliest blasts are in tard she were eight people died in back to back car bombings knowledge admitted responsibility. libyan

a team in the. technology here on a launch in. the future covering. well again this is the we can all see highlights of the big stories the past seven days with me kevin owen joining the sun just managed to address world leaders in new york despite still be holed up in ecuador's embassy in london it's been sheltering the wiki leaks out as if the months now during which britain keep stressing the that's an american nation must hand over his sons to swedish authorities is altie sarah. pleydell nothing being holed up. in the air with the way to. find stuff like that. the u.s. administration. is trying to erect. a national regime of

secrecy a national regime. a regime. revealing sensitive information to a media organization can be sentenced to death life imprisonment. now he spoke not only about his name but the bit about the implications that this could if the u.s. . along this calls the songs the founder of wiki leaks wanted in sweden the questioning a sexual assault allegations that some of the sons of critics. and his legal team claiming asylum from it will be tempting in some way to have a justice not kill innocents in the thick of things with the way that the fact that they want the questioning to go ahead they're ready to take that they do say they want to hear. now we see

the like document that take us. back to the sunshine wiki leaks. even there any truth is that wiki leaks the people who want wiki leaks could end up committing. while that. wiki leaks would like to pick. up the afghan and iraq war i detail. that the u.s. government and well the palace would rather you didn't know about. we've more on freedom of speech and the future of whistleblowers with a wiki leaks spokesman who speaks to us next hour here on this show. a major political conference is underway in turkey as prime minister erdogan said to be reelected as the leader of the country's ruling party for the last time they won once again slam the regime in neighboring syria however dr hussein back cio of the middle east said technical university says ankara's policy on the mosque is deeply

unpopular with turks themselves. the turkish government has miscalculated the events in syria they have expected that the arab spring would be having the same situation like in libya like indonesia or in egypt. leave but in case of syria turkey has been indeed in the last five years particularly a very very close to syria. if you want and suddenly this change of turkey has done here the policy what the united states of america and european union suggested and this is why they took his people do not support the policy of the government. george you've seen some of his biggest opposition rallies today with over one hundred thousand people turning out for pre-election demos in the capital and in the country's second largest city on saturday georgians will choose their next parliament to borrow the anti-government moves been filled

by the recent prison torture scandal mass protests and international condemnation church authorities are also accused of high level corruption and cracking down on activists who speak out against the government the opposition claims to place of using tricks to retain its image it is artesian purpose can offer points next to a place that summer at the expense of georgia's murdered neighbor to. the outcome of a recent alleged police operation near georgia's border with russia's republic of dagestan eleven suspected terrorist did you believe she says that the armed men were chechens who crossed into georgian territory and kidnapped around ten locals before being caught by police the news spreads quickly but not everyone is buying it. this was all organized by georgian security services the lack of transparency and details about the incident has led many to believe the whole so-called entertainer operation was a complete hoax georgian authorities have been very successful in creating an image

of a modern western civil i speak of the. come off we need a george w. bush was called that but in this case the opposition is accusations are fighting supporters on the other side of the caucasus meet his duty on them of he spent two decades fighting on the side of church and militants against moscow officially representing them in georgia he also has doubts about what really happened at this leader's border operation. first of all their weapons were american made second none of them fired off a single shot that's not so the uniforms of the so-called fighters were brand new that was saakashvili plan he sent his guys across the border into russia and then had them shot by the georgian police this was a setup just to frame russia no one will ever be able to prove anything of course. he's really clean has to be easy for dijon with terrorists began in the ninety's when he personally helped chechen separatists by delivering weapons and age from

georgian. surely the pankisi gorge in georgia is really close to chechnya it takes just ten minutes to fly across the border by helicopter so we helped our warriors from georgian territory from the gorge we delivered weapons money to the injured and then send them all around the world for treatment and all with the help of georgian security services and. we got the weapons from the depositories of the georgian terrace center our guys came there with cash were able to choose whichever weapons they wanted and bought them. album of says that he's interested in jewish and milton's didn't diminish even after president saakashvili came to power and then often bridge street as an envoy of democracy. everything is still controlled by the anti-terrorist center or the mujahideen and the gym marks are in its hands they are their people any chechen who lives in georgia and wants to study in an

islamic country have to go through the antiterrorist sent. they tell you to believe you go to this center meet with some official and they won't let you go until you say yes and to you agree to work for them are them of graeme's that his knowledge almost cost him his life following an assassination attempt he was allowed to return to church with a green light from russian authorities after he asked for forgiveness now he plans to reveal everything he knows you want to spin off r d grossly the chechen republic thanks of it with us tonight on r.t. in a couple of minutes if you love gadgets in the high tech i can tell you eleven next program we check out russia's latest hybrid aircraft and also amphibious firefighting vehicles it's in this month's technology update soon. the sun rises over what seems like analyst forest to hear in the new directions cry

for hundred kilometers north of light of all stalk as in much of the world it's disappearing at a catastrophic rate. mortgages both illegal and those finding ways to outsmart the system filing down the forest of the more skewed region for them profit goes well beyond the future of our planet and the result could be an ecological crisis the world wildlife fund for nature makes regular trips to help local rangers do what little they can to stop the logging but it's not easy longer set up trucks making them hard to reach an already rough terrain and have mastered ways to jump through legal loopholes this is a nature reserve we're only sanitary logging of disease trees is allowed according to law and not a single berry can be picked but loggers like this use their sanitary logging permit to cut down absolutely healthy trees and sell the profitable timber over the

border in china we are on the hunt for illegal loggers and it's not going to be easy the forests in the forests and our chances are slim now for now we can stay in our dreams but as soon as we find solid tracks we'll have to drop our wheels and get out silently in order not to scare the loggers off alexander some morning call has been a ranger for over twenty five years he can spend weeks at a time tracking a single group of loggers easier to work when snow falls in autumn it's impossible to find human tracks and even transport tracks are hard to see after hours of driving we get sent in the right direction by word of mouth you can see that the ground is soft here which means that they have twelve tractor trails are very fresh which in fact means that we need to be quite. in order to not scare them off as we get closer. this team says they're legal but have no documents now xander can now call the police to take over his work here is done

he's overwhelmingly outnumbered there are too few rangers working in the promote the region and the w w f says the government isn't doing enough to stop it i guess the government now for more whole forest legislation so assumes the pals and so on and you forest court and according to. the guys in waltham in the in the forest to the still the forest still doesn't work just. as no one tries to stop them in just five years the force will be gone they'll sell it all to china what will the people who live afterwards do live it's a question more and more people are aware of today climate change in the safety of our environment as a whole are being discussed around the world and perhaps it's those small steps that might be a start to people living in harmony with nature. oh

and welcome to technology update as the weather in moscow has already taken a turn for the worse the team and i pax are swimsuits and headed down to the black sea city of gelling jake and is it just so happens for four days at the beginning of september the quiet resort town is transformed into the center of russian maritime aviation journalists and spectators alike flock to the night's so title international exhibition of hydro evasion probably the biggest crowd pleasers with acrobatic airshows from the country's top flight nieces the russian knights and swiss kicked off the states festivities with high speed fly overs and there were government. as. to the economy.

however. there was some food for thought. scientists and engineers got together to discuss and probably argue about the latest trends in development. international to make a splash. roughly one hundred twenty five. pack. for about five hundred bucks. and.

one of the biggest stars. hundred. new us models are better than ever and the plane was designed to specialized search and rescue passenger transit as well as ambulance but it's got the most attention for its firefighting configuration. action from the ground is one thing but to really appreciate the raw power of it you want to check it out from the inside so with that in mind. a little test to show journos like me what it's like onboard knowing far from the. head.
