doing to militias shell the town traditionally loyal to the old regime a year after the role of conduct it was killed. in the sound of protests a scuffle with police as it turns out thousands march against austerity in london the closures are so advanced in athens as greece suffered a nationwide strike souring the mood over an e.u. crisis on that impossible. to attempt to breach the blockade of gaza water that israeli forces stop a humanitarian ship and direct them to read on. the latest news on the week's top stories this is the weekly on r c hello and welcome to the program thousands of people in lebanon are expected to join the funeral of a top intelligence official killed by a bomb in beirut on friday the massive turnout is being encouraged by the

opposition they declared a day of rage against the regime in neighboring syria which they blamed for that time and this what sentiment on the streets already strained to the limit as. reports. the situation in lebanon remains far from easy in fact it has been exasperated by the explosion during the rush hour of course there was a horrific scene which followed and then almost immediately of course during the night the people started people started pouring out on the streets resurrecting the old tensions between the sunni and the shia muslims which have been kind of a back burner for a little while in the country but now it seems like there is a go ahead to the tension in the country there is there are calls from the march fourteenth movement to stage a day of rage on sunday and they are now openly expressing the fact that they believe all of this is the doing of the syrian government they were forced reminding of among the people who were killed on the day itself for a police official who was known to be here and to syria now people are saying

basically that they want the government to step down the prime minister has there filed a petition for his admission to the president but the president refused that and a lot of people at this point already starting to express their worry that the conflict in syria inadvertently or purposefully is being spilled into the neighboring country into lebanon and while some lebanese m.p.'s are already using the syrian regime of being behind the blast at beirut based expert on the middle east these allegations are motivated by political calculations. already we have the now the political element coming into play some elements of the march forward team movement which is known to be anti bush has said that even before it was known who was killed in this explosion they quickly pointed the finger at the syrian government now with us on the head of intelligence security who apparently has a man killed more targeted that he is known to be actually

a robot fourteen is known not to be one of the supporters not to be very very likable personally all those who are in government so i think now this would only lead to more and more fingers from march fourteen and from there west and how is it being pointed at syria. and in the midst of syria's spiraling civil conflict more reports of weapons flowing into the hands of al qaida backed rebels from the lebanese border are coming to light and reports now from an on smuggling sport on the two countries from here. training for war getting ready for battle and possibly their doubts 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. 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 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 will help them topple assad doing. the weapons may be easy to come by the harder part is. 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 you know we admit that we. infiltrated the jihadi jihad is a coming because 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 is getting the guns. you see captain of r t lebanon. the contenders for the u.s. presidency prepare to clash on t.v. but i had all the final lack of yet tension is forcing independent kind of the to the margins that bring up short. in the be a bit of violence has resumed and you might find some of the following initial disturbing at least twenty six people have been killed in the latest of time by pro-government militia against the stronghold of the former regime the youngest son of the slain leader mahmoud khadafi hummus was reportedly among them the town of bani walid have been under siege for over two weeks now and the suffering from severe shortages of food water and medicine political activists. left labor around a year ago says the state hasn't recovered from the devastation the nato backed will hold the girls. before.

the militias not very well you. can find. people inside the city the city these militias are. now going through in control of libya and we will need to consider libya using. or possibly means. opposition. is not really covering. the reeves intuition in libya because the long war at this example for syria to say what we succeeded in libya so we will succeed in syria. just sukkot certainly will be looking at up of my point of view. the u.s. could be creating more problems for itself in pakistan coming to you this now you will small drones but there are fears that could mean

a build up of deadly attacks abroad and they in turn lead to even more militaristic . turns of that on the idea of an economic strangling of iran that the country search for ways to dodge the west and embargo on the export of terror on this oil by trying to find a new payment. massive crowds numbering in the turns that some thousands have filled the streets of london marching against those stairs he policies of the coalition government scuffles erupted in the aftermath of the rally as demonstrators tong's had coffee shops and in some bone hotel the march was organized by the trade unions and attracted people from across the country prime minister david cameron recently who moved tough decisions for the struggling economy for. thousands of people have taken to the streets of london and announce he'll start a much older life by the trade unions call that. there are many people turned out that message is against the cuts they say

a lot like the economy and other people from all walks of life said there are nurses worried about the n.h.s. there are police officers all fiji room worried about cuts so front like services and amongst the people you see marching here today many many families all across the age range feel that they've been affected in some way by the continued cuts my parents rely on the n.h.s. who can say can't get worse my son to stephen he's paying nine grand a year in fees i work in the tree sector and legal aid is being caught so we work with our hundred people and i won't be able to get the same help for my next year they just protect the rich they protect the interests of the rich and they build up fear in the people who are it we're marching against the cuts and she's marching for her future situations where yes. marching so my future is banks now cause it's not just person that's been affected the whole start because they've had a europe wide effect of the euro crisis rumbles always seem to start taking great especially in the last month in spain in greece all across the year you say you

know people simply saying that they've had enough here in london as we said possibly into the hundreds and thousands maybe even more that come out here to march against the austerity. i understand he was on the agenda elsewhere in europe this week you summit in brussels european leaders have agreed on a deal that would bring centralised biking supervision to the continent however they summit was marred by french protests in europe tens of thousands of greeks descended on africans as a nationwide strike got underway clashing with police one protester died over heart attack i mean this couple was in madrid parents teachers and students marched in condemnation of impending government cuts to education capping three days of industrial action. there's one thing that we've learned over the past couple of years is that when you're in the u.s. say something about this grace is they usually mean the exact opposite. end of the crisis inside the probably means that spain and greece are slipping into depression

that greece go next to one of the contract to the economy with a contract that roughly twenty percent without employment status of twenty five percent of the different regions in spain which are demanding secession you have actually new fascist forces on the rise in greece the. move that we haven't seen since the one nine hundred thirty s. so i think really what's happening here is that this crisis is actually spinning out of the flow things are getting a lot worse and the stomach completely has to address any of the structural problems which include most importantly the deadly embrace between worlds a national sector which is completely insolvent and a series of states which are completely oriented. and dealing with the euro crisis means a lot of pressure especially in the case of president all lined with jibes coming at him from all sides just recently got a very annoyed fashion icon has called him an imbecile after a move to calm the country's deficit. so telling us he dot com one hundred chicago

inmates are stepping forward to describe how they were tortured to confess by prison guards and the victims say that he was racially motivated. a texas mom was arrested and thrown in jail orange jumpsuit and all for neglecting her kids who were playing in front of her house for just a little while a concerned neighbor and sort of say walking across the street you know to talk to the unintended children to find out what's going on went to the total sheep mode and immediately called nine one one because children playing it is truly an emergency worth the police's time but i guess it was worth their time because they showed up and slap the cuffs on the mother who claimed that she was there the whole time and of course to punish you for ignoring your children briefly while they play

you'll get thrown behind bars because that makes sense where does this culture of fear come from if you leave your kids alone on your own property why does that mean that they are certainly going to die there are dangers out there believe me but living in constant fear abuses your children far worse that's just my opinion.

current e.u. financial troubles as well as germany's will when the crisis. which is slow often enough and knows that to ride a horse you've got to catch it first. for him it's a daily routine that your soft as a force breeder on the island of a horn at the heart of. his life on an isolated farm is about blue sky green grass and horses what sometimes it gets lonely here but horses have become part of me now i've fallen off so many times sometimes they'd bite as well it's part of my every day life. i holmes been home

to a rats local just slough for centuries most still live off the land of cattle and fish every evening local villagers place their nets and in the morning the catch is always good. we always have enough here. if by call is often called the pearl of siberia and horn is said to be the pearl of by call it's all end of fake forests. and vast staps. it's also a place of traditions respected by locals and travelers alike. an economist turned adventurer has crisscrossed by called shores and learned its customs well. you see pillars like this and thought to have supernatural powers

every traveler who comes here asked. the spirits to make their journey easier give them strength and fulfill their dearest wishes i knew virtually undiscovered by tourists until some twenty years ago i haunt us quickly become a magnet for nature lovers and you will see cars but those used to five star pampering and maybe end for a surprise the island's infrastructure has yet to catch up with the growing demand here quite some way from civilization here accommodation on the island is very basic so you can forget about it c. d. or even run in water for most people a tent is the on the eruption but for those who come here it's exactly what they're looking for. you believe you journey to buy coal can be unique trip of

a lifetime and the locals say once you've seen it you'll be coming back again and again. so.

i'm joined today by dr max also a professor of political administration and author of the books investing rather than saving and the delightfully optimistically titled the crisis is coming to talk to us a thanks very much for speaking to me now jamie currently finds itself in a relatively decent position economically can it keep that up germany is not at all in the driving seat germany's economy is functioning but germany is driven rather than driving by the process of going on unfortunately i think the current system

will last for a while because the european political elite really has sworn to defend it whatever the costs and the car sign norma's so really the current system is hurting europe we have to make some changes but i do think that the current rather detrimental state of affairs is going to continue for quite a while we see germany isn't in the driving seat what can change that well what we do right now is we have the fiscal union which is austerity which means we save on the back of people of tax payers in the south and in the north the euro has created the problems because the euro and that's what i predicted in one nine hundred ninety eight in a lecture at boston university that the euro will create artificial wombs in some areas and artificial busts than others because we don't have an after them currency area and that's exactly what happened of so it created competitiveness problem for the south because wages went up and so on but they couldn't devalue any more and that's the.
