to get some petrol bombs in athens market may to show a break can go over in force cuts germany says it wants more control over national budgets. international envoy to syria with the conflict could set the whole middle east ablaze clashes break out across the border with lebanon. and in libya the former bastion of late colonel gadhafi is under attack again and she's gotten the support from bani walid and eleven.

come on you center here in central moscow international news and comment live on r.t. the scenes of violence returned to the streets of athens where police of resorted to tear gas to disperse and tear sturdy protesters tens of thousands of greeks voice their anger over a new round of cuts being demanded by the country's lenders in exchange for another bailout payment this kind sides with a general strike to the sea tens of thousands of people walking off the job for the second time this month on a justice of terrorists from the university of the aegean people caught in today's protest says the e.u. imposed measures will only result in more social unrest. where facing another. wave was devastating cuts in wages special protection pensions we are facing a new tax hikes are facing social disaster in the process are living conditions that can explain away today with headsets such massive demonstrations since i

don't know where greece will have already reached their and their limits. they cannot stand it's the political class currently just ignore. signs that come from society and the same goes from the troika and especially from the euro the liberals in this and the european union but they're just building up the explosive material for next social experience and maybe. simply by being passed through parliament if it has melted to mess in society and i think india and india and tracing the sets such an intense social crisis in the end they will have to chance. either way as we're just going to see such a crisis after such a crisis as an explosion after serious explosion or without then they need to do end in sight. the nationwide strike in greece was timed to coincide with another summit in brussels the meeting german chancellor angela merkel called for the you to be given powers to veto national budgets tom gill who's

a london based writer and journalist says this idea undermines the very principles on which the union was founded. as a big time. the democratic principles that of course is part and parcel of the whole process of european integration for quite some time now. with the removal of monetary and fiscal policies from national governments effectively since the creation of the single currency there's been a huge democratic deficit and current proposals that will give more power to elected officials in brussels and. give particular amounts of power to the stronger states. is fundamentally undemocratic and is rolling back the whole principles of what european integration was about when it was founded not long after the second world war and opinion polls across the conference comes rebellion among the people

against their leaders but they're still not listening. and protests continue across the atlantic. where the occupy los angeles fuse is to be silenced a year after it was first formed we report on that later in the program. but first the international peace envoy to syria warns the conflict is now a threat to the whole region one of the first signs came in lebanon when armed men apparently used machine guns to shoot into syria sparking fire in retaliation the border between the neighbors has also been restive thanks to an influx of fighters in arms. coming off explains. everything now training for war getting ready for battle and possibly their deaths these young recruits are preparing for what their instructors call a campaign to rid syria of tyranny. some of these student to be fighters haven't even held a gun until now. this is the first time i use weapons there was no need for them

before the revolution now we carry weapons to get rid of assad as. weapons have yet to topple the government of president bashar al assad but they're flowing into the country with ease it's a trend that has some officials worried those will provide arms to either side only a contributing to for the me jury and the risk of unintended consequences porous borders with its neighbors make the flow of arms almost impossible to stop and lebanon's town of is one of the main gateways behind me is the way to one of the illegal border crossings between lebanon and syria weapons fighters and supplies go in to syria while refugees fleeing the violence come out but by no means is this a safe or easy journey frequent shelling as well as a large minefield on the syrian side of the border crossings like these a deadly gamble

a gamble that lebanese sympathizers of syria's opposition are more than willing to make. this is five thousand dollars thirteen hundred eighteen hundred and two thousand in tripoli r.t. spoke to this arms dealer whose business was booming. people come or contact me every day we have a revolution next door for sure we are with them will help them topple assad till they do it. the weapons may be easy to come by the harder part is understanding exactly where they go a classified report uncovered in the new york times reveals that many of the arms sent to syrian rebels are ending up in the hands of hardline islamic jihad one of the leaders of the f.s.a. said yeah we admit that we. if traceability hardy's jihad is a coming call it's all reports from all over the muslim world but we don't know exactly who they are back in syria both in the training camps and in the battlefield rebels talk of high hopes for a bright future. i hope that there will be free elections that the syrian people

will be able to choose their fields they want and that we will win back our rights freedom of expression and political freedom exactly what that freedom looks like may depend on who's getting the guns. you see captain of lebanon. and more advanced weapons have been smuggled to syrian rebels causing concern that some could end up in the hands of is missed extremists forces claim they've got hold of portable anti aircraft missiles independent journalist robert harness believes this is an alarming trend because of the growing support for rebels from al-qaeda we've had reports from pretty young bar sources like. the french. medical charity who said that sixty percent of the people they bumped into him in one area where they were dealing with care and just work for in generalities and i don't know is there any doubt that they've been fed in there quite deliberately to stokes the prising against the syrian government and not just.

let's let's be quite clear that there are an awful lot of syrians who do not want their country to be turned into another libya i've talked to the syrians right from the start of those i don't think they ever had that much support for many of the syrians who watched what happened to gadhafi as libya and realized that if it wasn't perfect what we what they're getting afterwards is a great deal worse than they've always been aware of and they're totally cynical about the west's motives for interfering in this and the gulf states motives for interfering in in civil strife in syria. in libya the situation is far from peaceful despite western backing for the armed rebellion in the few days at least eleven people in a few days i should say at least eleven people have been killed and scores wounded after militia linked to the defense ministry shelled bani walid it's a former stronghold of late colonel gadhafi and libyan political activist. says the

nation is heading towards further disarray having been largely abandoned by foreign powers. division not only did i have never even before. the militias no thank you very well you know which is a highly populated area but i'm just yesterday. also that they used chemical weapons divorced from the. phone call i made with the people inside the city v.c. to think these militias are. now going through in control of the conceit in libya. of those who means. positions and you know is not really covering. the situation in libya because they don't want to set this example for syria to say what we succeed in libya so we succeed in syria. but i just.

have died as a result of strikes with civilians. from pak nationalist form pakistan's first political lobbying group says washington for sponsible for both the deadly drone strikes and the militants that targeting. this is a major blow to u.s. diplomacy and position in pakistan in this is the first time that a senior official actually come out to say this make this kind of a statement that the majority are civilians were killed by cia drones there is no evidence that the drones have actually helped buckstone control the militants on the contrary pakistan has been very much very successful box in the military in flushing out terrorist from the northern region of so wide that in two thousand and nine and clearing and cleaning up that entire area and if now we see a resurgence of some of the activity of the terrorists it is because of these safe havens on the what i would call the american side of the border which is the afghan side of the border under the watch of the u.s. army where these terrorists who are flushed out by fox and army are maintaining now

resting and training camps over there so i think the parks than any government appears now to be putting the blame in a way on the on the americans and i think that would be the gist of the report published by the fox any media today about the meeting which was a closed door meeting of the box any military commanders accusing or mentioning for the first time by the way a figure ninety six incursions from the of gun territory into parks done resulting in killing a box of the soldiers and box and civilians. to other international news now in our world update this hour the colombian government guerrillas dog have agreed to joint declaration to settle nearly half a century of conflict members from both sides have been negotiating at a secret venue with talks expected to move to cuba at a later point the movement is considered a terrorist organization by both the e.u. and the us and having supplied colombia's armed forces with military aid to combat the guerrillas. at least five people have reportedly been killed in the couple of

force them from city squares activists are now focusing on ways to soften the impact of the economic crisis. the reports on one group helping citizens save their homes from the threat of foreclosure. oh god. i. was. more than a year after it kicked off its movement in los angeles occupy l.a. is alive and well but in much smaller numbers. the tents which once dominated the landscape of downtown are gone but it popped up in backyards of struggling homeowners i would keep a woman has done for me is kept me in my home for thirty four days yet none this family was swept up in the mortgage crisis and is now facing eviction occupiers have set up barricades around the house now dove for now and this vowing to defend their home while the family battles with bank of america the show has a meaning of people power the law enforcement is not on our side as well so if you

determined more than never to fight repressive forces when you have that kind of systematic institutionalized abuse of peep. expressing their first amendment right it doesn't shut it down if you'll say i'm slow because i'm an independent journalist who has been documenting occupy l.a. throughout he observed how the movement's inclusiveness allowed elements in which cause conflict well occupy l.a. is broken up into several community entities it still celebrates small victories this again is the current evolution this is the edge of it this is a foreclosure resistance action and it's supported by occupy l.a. as the movement evolves this family is determined to keep their american dream from fate no way you should and i would to happen and you can always show resistance. in los angeles ramon the lindo r t. well don't forget to check out our
