you're watching r g g have you with us anger and violence have spilled over onto the streets of athens with police using tear gas and water cannon against greeks protesting a draconian new budget cuts demonstrators hope petrol bombs with more than one hundred detained as the country's parliament passed on a sturdy package aimed at securing the latest bailout archies put all of the reports from the greek capital. what we have seen though is anger on the streets of athens we saw a crowd of around one hundred thousand people gather in the square just behind me in front of of the parliament building not quite quickly escalated into violent clashes between police and protesters in a matter of seconds downtown athens went into essentially in an urban war zone for a couple of hours we saw most of cocktails thrown flash bang grenades used also gas used extensively again here in athens as police tried to calm down protesters

who are extremely unhappy by what they see as unfair measures being taken by the government now also there was one hundred people detained by police five arrests made and we're also hearing of injuries on both sides both the police and demonstrators the greek people undoubtedly very unhappy about what's been signed into law what's essentially happened is that politicians here in greece of voted in order to allow the next round of austerity measures one hundred fifty three m.p.'s voting in favor of these latest austerity measures one hundred twenty eight against and there were eighteen stanchions what these new austerity measures mean though for the greek people is that we're going to see the retirement age rise to sixty seven there's also going to be slashes to pensions and wages and there's also going to be new laws that's going to actually make it easier for employers to fire their stuff now all of this comes as antonius some are asleep prime minister to make

have people that are losing everything using hope that the last thing to go i think is going to be you know their sense that they have anybody representing them with so far whatsoever you have this tyranny of the technocrats that already inside greece and hundred fifty three out of three hundred vote more austerity on the people i think it is they continue to lose all hope that they have any control of their own financial destiny whatsoever how can it be anything but you know digress into but potentially civil war the financial health of the country is not going to change for the better until they realize that they are in default they're bankrupt and they tell the banks that are holding their debt and the european union and the e.c.b. and the trail that they are going to default this is what happens in the market cap of their their prospects for a return to a healthy economy has to start with their realizing that they are completely and utterly broke and start over from scratch.

playing. i. it was a hearty good to have you with us the german chancellor has visited london full crucial told with britain's prime minister about the e.u. budget and got a merkel try to urge david cameron not to veto any increase in spending something the u.k. parliament is insisting on. earth has a tail off the talks. on the surface of it angela merkel's come here to meet david

cameron to discuss over dinner the budget meetings are taking place in just a very a week's time in brussels but of course what you see not very smooth experience you know the very friendly and shaking hands that hides beneath the surface is very very troubled waters in the discussion you'd expect to run into some more awkward territory mainly being the whole discussion about britain's place within the e.u. itself of course we see a big rise in the and c.e. sentiment recently we've had the british tabloids calling anglo-american the merkel later i mean she's certainly got that aura about her hasn't she she's very much been seen as heading the e.u. drive to all started to try and get those countries out of the economic crisis imposing these very very harsh measures on countries such as greece and of course

first in housing estates that with the eve but it. the e.u. is going to be asking for even more so the contributed to the pos it already stands at about a trillion euros so i mean that's a lot to us from a country that is going through a very tough climate economically she doesn't look like a woman who suffers fools gladly unfortunately david cameron recently hasn't been looking like the strongest of british leaders he's had that humiliating defeat in the house of commons when rebel backbenchers purse full day are planned they were calling for real perm cuts in that budget and it raises the wider discussion here of course as we said about vs place within the e.u. itself and that is a discussion of the britain is going to have to have at some point so it was angry merkel says are you going to be looking for some form you think if clare. eva britain's stance right now unlikely that david cameron is actually going to be able

to give her that because of course the talk at the moment is not so much even if britain will have a referendum now but when that will happen until that happens until britain decides of course he can't really give her much more information than the. baseband lover has gone on a brutal killing spree in the russian capital this russian lawyer shot six people dead and wounded two others after a bitter breakup with his girlfriend. right also when you're online you can find suspected whistleblower bradley manning is reportedly considering a guilty plea over claims lead to diplomatic cables to wiki leaks and a deal to avoid a potential life sentence love on to our g dot com today and more and find out the story. while barack obama and his supporters at home and abroad us celebrating his return to the white house the reaction in one middle

eastern country is less enthusiastic israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu had openly backed obama's rival mitt romney during the election campaign and always on the president a shot message of congratulations it seems that the history of strange relations with obama could now backfire as artie's policia reports. from this. to this. it was never a secret movie israeli prime minister wanted in the white house for the often a public spat between his government and the obama administration of a palestinian peace talks and iran's nuclear program did nothing to advance american israeli relations and only one mosque the two leaders personal dislike for each other we are the journey a partner in this relationship both men want to succeed they need to cooperate in order to succeed and i think it's not it's not a museum on the real challenge for an attorney to fix the relationship but he has

some fixing to do relations between the two countries are at an all time low and most of his radio americans were also hedging their bets on the republican candidate of the roughly eighty thousand to voters from israel four in five voted for me these few got up early to watch the results obama can be. archon could be strict with israel because he doesn't have to worry about reelection any more than a ten year old has to do it obama's tells us in many aspects because israel is dependent on america for allies and for support in the world in the international arena the pressing issue now is what is obama's victory mean for israel's foreign policy after all netanyahu saw and romney and i someone he agreed with on most issues including what to him is the most urgent stopping iran's nuclear program netanyahu is trying to convince the world to strike iran a position that until now obama has not supported the question is will israel go it

alone in order to destroy completely destroy iran's nuclear weapons capability i think you need. many many strikes over an extended period of time only one country in the world that is capable of doing it and i don't think they will do it this is the united states of america and without us backing netanyahu is in a corner we risk is trying to back down from his well mongering neither position puts him in a good light prime minister netanyahu is going to have to readjust recalibrate you know some of his positions and so i was feeling stored in general second term presidents are not particularly good for israel because a lot of put focus on the israeli palestinian. issue and they put unnatural pressure on both sides to make compromises which are like good

for either side because they don't have to be reelected and are looking more towards legacy netanyahu took a gamble so openly favoring romney welcoming him in israel during the election campaign and appearing in republican campaign ads that one of the dice could now backfire as these radio elections quickly approach and a ten year himself will be fighting for another term in office. r.t. . iran has long been one of the major issues in americans of foreign policy and the latest election has only underlined the difference in approach washington takes when it comes to electoral problems at home and abroad this is according to independent researcher and reuters or was the public will already. the onus every state every state that was very important and there were irregularities there were a problem with the polling wishings of a problem with people being instructed there was even suggestion of voter fraud yet how they can america has not been educated they also tested the suit testing of

their own media if they read something in the same new york times they don't question the accuracy and it gets repeated c.n.n. and is that the mainstream media so they are used to being compliant in a sense the last two bullets into the political thinkers they simply don't question anymore and that's why they really don't take to the streets in two thousand and nine in iran there were rumors of fraud but there wasn't any thought they could actually prove to the people and observers yet i detention from america with the funding they had done before hand wanted them to get on the streets and protest it was simply to undermine an election the for the first time there were over eighty percent of people participating it was a deliberate act. more of the world's news of the solemn and explosion in pakistan has left at least one person dead and fourteen others injured witnesses say

a mental trap where people feel forced to choose between two evils the conservative torture apologist who's the reigning king of drones or even more extreme right wing ideologues who put obama's policies on steroids i guess it will take a republican to get elected as president again in this country to get the left pissed off again because let's be honest when obama came into office liberals became complacent now shifting course being a california girl i was especially saddened at the news that prop thirty seven did not pass and fortunately monsanto won big in california i guess the lesson is that when you spend forty seven million dollars you can convince people to vote against their interests but the bottom label g m o's is far from over but you know i do see a silver lining in the wake of this election the hangover not only is it a good thing that romney doesn't have access to the biggest nuclear weapons arsenal in the world well let's think about the monumental shift that happened last night by way of to my direct.
