degree converso a ransom protest as chancellor angela merkel comes to visit with tens of thousands pointing to her as the source of the else damaging. israeli prime minister netanyahu appears to go all out for reelection if he dissolves moment and orders a stop poor at the peak of its popularity citing budget bickering. plus branding an image as opposed to write a bill that sentence many question whether the punk band wants to be released or if it's just another publicity.

international news live from moscow this is us he with me here thanks for joining us rises and falls from warm welcome from the greek people for chancellor angela merkel on her visit to athens while the german leader praised the government over its austerity measures and not only of riot police held bank turns of thousands of demonstrators just streets away. reports now on from athens on why merkel's visit has so riled the people. it was supposed to be a conciliatory gesture but in the end is seen do you need to serve to add fuel to the fire of austerity anger catches a breaking out between the riot police on the protesters on the streets of there and this is going on. because the thing the country it was supposed to demonstrate is solidarity but all it serve to do if i like the divisions there remain in the country itself between the people and the politicians and between the eurozone

countries as well the bad. blows between greece and germany runs deep greece largely blames germany for the tough measures they faced this seen them caught in an devastating economic spiral and they germany's rhetoric may have softened recently weeks of nights i think given all forgotten their portrayal of the start of the crisis as the bad ones of the bunch. government. to the people the people are suffering cards not in goshen child jobs all the. working people if large chunks of the greek population looking increasingly isolated from the political class this far from alone from greece to spain to italy sterett he has poor year isn't economies to their knees and with unemployment particularly amongst year is used now reaching epic heights people have simply had

enough if this looks like a familiar sight because that is one way thing many times before in recent years. with standoff between the riot they. along the streets and people standing around this is the result of years of austerity this is what of thirty means every old a population that is being pushed to its breaking point you can see all of the side streets of these pants band of happening perhaps this will be the wake up call to eurozone leaders as the crisis drags on and on the protests have grown larger and more frequent where there were one schools to ease the pain of the cuts now many people simply want out altogether have to leave the euro zone have to have to break with. generally we have to break with the system before people have to break with

top. it has to be important thing is that there's so much resistance it's not only that the bargain of the people but it's that there is this stance it's has been three years of austerity about three years of general strikes in the capacious and that gives hope and we're going to go like that. r.t. athens. political analyst literally that says that if the greek government proposes another round of cuts the country's society would disintegrate the main problem. of least americans believed in greece is that it was still only symbolic nothing concrete came out from his busy merkel didn't speak about. investments already in order to extend the bailout plan this is summer us last if he passes. there are certainly measures now and after three months he comes again and he says that look good people are more missiles i think the government

will be totally collapse but the problem is that this is so good because those were i think the only way out almost thirty at this point is only merkel decides to work in a more collective more. air the skull and monetary union that you're going to you know if she doesn't understand not the only way out of the crisis is the formulate the strong monetary through school uniform for a very rare you know i don't think there is a way out. it is very reasonable to head to the polls earlier than expected as prime minister i've been i mean netanyahu disbanded the government and announced the parliamentary election he said the coalition's failure to nail down the budget is behind the rush

but as. reported on your response go some way and maybe a ploy to gain more points in the upcoming poll. but even so you know who has announced that there will be indeed early elections in israel of course that means that they will take place in january or february of next year as opposed to october and then when they were actually slated to happen initially he said that right now it is impossible to pass every sponsible budget of course there are many here in israel will believe this was actually done not on purpose and then even if you know who was actually leading up to this type of events unfolding of course the budget talks have everything but still just recently and the latest party that. you know who was talking to was the ultra orthodox shah's party who are adamantly against the budget cuts to the social economic sphere as particularly those which concern the elderly and those who are less fortunate when it comes to financial situation

but who refused to budge on anything that actually concerned the budget so a lot of people a lot of analysts here actually believe that he may be actually pushing the other parties to make this call to make it look like there was no other way other than to call for early elections at the same time those very people are saying that this enough war is actually the man who is going to benefit the most from the early elections because he is of the peak of his popularity right now so there is a very high chance that he will be reelected for his current post again when the post of the prime minister and that will allow him more time to push forward with his agenda and that doesn't just concern the budget of course in geo political sense that also concerns for example war mongering rhetoric when it comes to such countries as iran of course he has been saying that iran is going to develop a nuclear weapon. and israel should take precautionary measures the right up to striking iran the so a lot of people are saying that you can safely say at the moment that the man who is going to benefit the most from the early elections is actually that we consult

and his party likud netanyahu is move comes just ahead of the us presidential election the outcome of which according to some american experts will have a major impact on israel's politics. the public motive is that he can't find agreement within his existing right wing coalition on the coming years budget so he's going to dissolve parliament and get an election and then try to deal with the budget it's hard to see however how the shas party and the others that are very strong defenders of spending on social welfare are going to change their minds after an election when they will be even more committed so it seems that the real purpose is to safeguard his political flanks before he begins to head a downward spiral politically going into next year especially if president obama is re-elected here and turned some screws on him given the prime minister netanyahu had interfered a bit in the american presidential election this year now prime minister netanyahu

is hoping still that his personal friend and ally mitt romney might be elected president of the united states which would put an end to that argument but there is a sense in the center and left of israel's political spectrum that netanyahu is running roughshod and is in danger and what is israel's most important international relationship meanwhile in the u.s. or paulson the north me troll needs to shop business says it's straight ahead republican nominee homemade smoke one cigarette and he's lined up they had no problem with pushing millions of them don't give a man who. was the united arab emirates lines then muslim brotherhood saying the islamist group is a trojan horse plotting to bring revolutionary calles into the gulf state. states about now in most cases according to hear an appeal by the pussy riot punk

band sentenced to two years in jail for a performance in crime is deceiving celebrities and human rights activists worldwide have demand is there but the law is in no hurry to get them freed while that's fame and profit to the hand from the scandalous brand point of bike i reports. pussy riot feminist punk rock has registered trademark a brand new global one major russian concert organizer says they've been flooded with calls from foreign promoters offering to organize a pussy riot world tour that could fetch up to six hundred million euros. over the u.s. there is a red square behind me that post the riot stormed the area and performed an offensive song about blood they may have said a warm up gig of sorts but that particular stunt didn't bring the punk rockers the big break that they were after its own little attention on the internet and more

importantly failed to rouse the interest of the off dorothy's just weeks later kirsty riot took their protest start to moscow's central park. the stunning video went viral pussy riot were arrested their trial a worldwide media circus western and russian celebrities called for the women's release. international branded them prisoners of conscience and free pussy riot t. shirts sold out the it was quite normal that's the way you attract attention they always look that famous pop stars around the world look at the way we're done is dressed look at that they'll look at all the other. we can do as well as that or we can do something different and they hated the idea of going into the cathedral and seeing that. because that. would in fact be something i rejoice during the trial some was struck by the women's defense team's tactics so there is no defense

in this case it's simple p.r. uncorking out on ali see they're working towards the brand in order to capitalize on it in the future and it's worked i think two years in prison for the crime they committed is too harsh but at the same time i can see that their lawyers did everything in order to get them those two years in prison. the band's appeal against the sentences was postponed in a moscow court last week one band member somewhat seven unexpectedly announced she now wants different lawyers from have fellow band members the photo call was still on though. or during the trial some were struck by the women's defense team's tactics. but a trial observer believes it signals a rift among the punk rock collective good to know someone i think you could to rina someone save each took another look at the situation and saw the following all

the attention goes to new ideas that are conical she's been pegged as the face of the band the law is making a name for themselves what did curtis and it's a huge good two years of prison for war i think she decided to get some real law is that before you know it too humiliated in the face of the worst but to actually free her but. prosecutors say the dissenting band member is merely a ploy to add hype to a story that's not generating the headlines it did it's the benefit of hindsight that's led some observers to question just how contrived the percy riot phenomenon was and continues to be with the concept requests pouring in there are those that say that percy writes court appeal is just like the trial that preceded it the point here isn't to reduce the women's sentences but rather it's about increasing the number of critics headlines and the saleability of the now protected pussy riot brand polly boyko r t moscow. and it will be in trucking they pursue

articles throughout and you can find more names at home and here are some other stories waiting for you that a mushroom cloud in central russia the explosion of over two thousand tons of ammunition near a military testing ground sounds to hometowns fleeing. the famous visit with judy and our son was at the ecuadorian embassy as pop superstar lady gaga draw is in for dinner and worth a quarter and a bad romance had to alter the comparable bothered by meeting. republican nominee matronly has taken a sly and lead in the polls ahead of the second u.s. presidential debate previously romney's stated that the that he can see it as

russia to be one of america's principal rivals but it seems that his business he's treated that force a tobacco addiction that makes trading with the enemy ok going to chicken has a story. today as mitt romney views russia as america's number one geopolitical foe i don't know what use mr romney had on russia twenty years ago but we do know that back then he did his best to get russia to smoke more so some twenty years ago he was a boston based consulting firm bain capital was helping tobacco titans to move forcefully into the new russian market the soviet union just collapsed while she was up for grabs according to the person who worked for romney in russia at the time someone named. hope i pronounce his name correctly romney was very excited about the smoking market in russia mr garside he reported to mitt romney directly about his efforts to promote smoking in the one nine hundred ninety s. tobacco market in russia skyrocketed which of course led to more smoking related deaths and candidate romney who has apparently made his modest very modest. into

that but obviously for him it was more about money than anything else just business even if it killed by the way mitt romney himself never smoked except for the one cigarette he said he had when he was very young he explained his attitude to smoking saying it's a religious thing mr romney is a mormon and mormons have a strict health code but apparently believes his faith never stopped him from pushing cigarettes onto the nation he refers to as a foe in washington i'm going to check out. and danielle van dam's from country risk solutions weighs in on the blurry line between making a buck and raking in the. for a business person there is no line it appears at least if you you happen to be mr romney twenty years ago he was quite happy to make money promoting cigarette consumption in russia and today he's happy to refer to it as america's number one geopolitical foe by the way that doesn't appear to have gotten much traction over

here there aren't a lot of people who agree with him that russia is america's number one geopolitical foe and i think students of politics would easily see that he is mistaken so the line between politics and the business world seems to be very narrow indeed for certain people and mr romney is an example of the us one wonders in this chameleon like nature what one can expect from this person once he is in office he's one thing one minute and another thing another minute that's a very dangerous place to be for someone who may hold an extremely important office . bigger is not always better at least for american police the department of homeland security you failed efforts more about. the destruction of the legal limits of spying on people that. the united arab emirates has accused the want to while the most influential is in his group the muslim brotherhood of plotting to overthrow rechelle governments the country has called on

gulf arab states to you nice to stop its rise in egypt why don't mean its political life abu dhabi arrested around six to islam as they say alleging they belongs to the group and work conspiring on to oust the shake but also one journalist eric margolis things these concerns show the state paranoia. the muslim brotherhood's primary goals have been expressed through welfare programs and it's the reason for its continued popularity of places like egypt and jordan syria i might add but it isn't a sunni organization it's never been very popular among muslims and most of the unrest that's coming in the gulf it's now is coming from shia minority. sunni so i've never been aware that the muslim brotherhood is a great threat to the bill of the status quo in the gulf but certainly the

advent of the muslim brotherhood. government in egypt has made people nervous because i'm a go in the very difficult position i want to be on the side of history of improvement in the region but they've been stuck supporting dictators traditionally historically their american government is stumble and forward right now trying to figure out what to do and it's under of the obama under great attack by the republicans who are driving a good political issue of the fact that. it's not clear. iraq of prime minister nuri al maliki's on a visit to moscow as the country's sil's billions of dollars worth of omes deals with russia there's been no official statement on what exactly but that is buying but the shopping list reportedly includes fighter jets helicopters and missile defense systems iraq says it needs the modern weaponry to terrorists in the mountains and as it and they stay on medicare is expected to discuss the sales with

president putin. u.s. police may soon employ the same drone technology which the army uses stuff targets a broad only the downsized the department of homeland security has tested small unmanned aircraft to be used for surveillance as part of a public safety program and a misstep in knowledge from the electronic privacy information center says this may practically lift the legal limits of domestic spying and there are no laws out there right now that protect privacy from the use of drones and as this technology gets more available the police will be able to do more and more with the d.h.s.s. will be able to do more and more with it without needing a warrant so we're entering an age where everything that we do even possibly down the road in our own homes could be subject to unwarranted police surveillance so there are police departments that have expressed interest in having rubber bullets having tear gas possibly having deadly weapons on the drones in the future and

that's not in the cards right now that's going to be a little down the road however they are able to target surveillance targets better too so if some they want to keep an eye on a suspected criminal or maybe even just somebody they want to retaliate against somebody who may have gone to a protest and spoken out against the policy or department and they want to keep an eye on that person they're able to do that much more efficiently. and let's have a look at some other international news in brief at least thirty civilians have allegedly been shot dead by nigerian troops in the north east of the country the soldiers opened fire in the city of my degree where they remain targets of guerrilla attacks by extremist islamist sect buckel who run the killings come amid reports of soldiers harassing and torturing civilians in the region sparking fears the latest incident could be just the tip of the iceberg. the body of a mexican drug lord who was recently gunned down by u.s. marines has been stolen from a funeral home

a group of heavily armed man storms the parlor the personnel and to the. better less kind of had a five million dollars bounty on his head offered by america along with a further two million from mexico which. you have achieved by a murder has condemned the deadly bombings that rocked the air force intelligence building in damascus killing dozens of people and al qaeda linked opposition group claimed responsibility for the series of explosions that should be the syrian capital late on monday there's been a sharp rise of rebel led terrorist attacks on syria's key cities absence sort of people were killed just a week ago and explosions in the northern harbors aleppo. and series on the table for peace all of belle's guests on the latest cross talk show and here's a taste of what's coming up at seven thirty pm t four. i think first of all you know that you saw really was lost its legitimacy and screw the bullet so there is

an order everybody in the syria will keep that in mind gentlemen not everybody in syria feels that way go ahead. although i could argue that a majority of the people. want a more democratic system of governance i mean they're afraid of saying. it's pretty hard to figure out what public opinion is mark you said you want to jump in and mention something about israel go right ahead well i think my viewpoint that israel's been rather quiet on this is quite revealing because after all the regime has been a big problem for the israelis not since one thousand nine hundred two. conflicts at me and the other problem is the international community doesn't exist we have radically opposed views essentially brochure and trying to what i call the conservative countries who don't want. to force to revolution in the west not least in the states we have radical voices who are from the souls of conservatives but who really want to turn over the middle east to cart and see what comes called out underneath where the root will be better all.

the. time now is the business and russia pitching in some bushes or plans in london marina is here good morning so tell us well good morning the level of the man who is actually doing that as alexander novak and he's meeting with international investors as the country six funds to develop challenge in the pauses the energy minister said that russia needs one trillion dollars worth of investment and the energy sector by twenty twenty and speaking to r.t. he explained that's hax incentives so boost production your words to mean first of all we've created a set of stimulating measures to boost the development of new all deposits in siberia secondly for the existence of posits that are unprofitable under the current tax system with cut the export tax by five percent on top of that we will take steps to stimulate drilling of hard to reach oil reserves on the shelves. as

they are at our second look at some and turn ashleigh markets. and with asia which is the only one trading right now and we're seeing emek specter the next case shedding one person and it's in fact one of the major losers this hour the japanese market and in general we have concerns over growth not stamp in the seismic technology and still firms are among the worst performers let's move on here and russia it's about two hours ahead of the opening bell we're seeing the performance on choose there was the make spectra as well even though we had higher oil prices that didn't seem to change the day for my sakes and when the cars butterfly picture more lies from moving on to currencies that see what's happening there when it comes to the euro that is weakening against the u.s. dollar and then the ruble makes paper for the performance all of that she states now let's move on to well prices are always very important for russian investors of course we see that all prices are dropping after one week and that's after we're expecting the reports of shell that stockpiles rose in the u.s.

so it's a big there's a crude user now as we've been reporting violent clashes broke out and. trip by angela merkel there in greece and we know that greeks are furious about is the recent austerity measures which is a condition for the next bailouts and as we've been talking to analysts that have been saying that the only way out all the trouble nations to restructure its that and accept the losses what i've proposed this is the establishment of a berlin club in the emerging world you have the paris club when an emerging country gets into trouble what happens is the emerging country comes to the paris club with its creditors and they discuss and debate and they restructure the debt they have cut the debt they allocate losses to the creditors i think they should be . angela merkel should invite all of the developed country finance ministers and politicians to berlin they sit around a table and they start to him and allocate the losses around the table and in doing that i think you then start to clean balance sheets because the simple fact is

today there is more credit market debt in the world today than there was yesterday than there was last week and then there was the beginning of the crisis. and of course for the analysis of our stories there is r.t. dot com slash there's less fact thank you very much indeed for that maria and coming out. from forbes magazine who sounds that despite the you are sworn whistleblowers truth advocacies own brian. culture is that so much a given to each musician of our mind that the mark left syria the symbol more we've been in the deadly reality of seeing this conflict spill over into the entire region because much of the blame for the current. wealthy british style. is not on the tide of.
