a much bigger political cover. hello a very good evening from moscow this is our t.v. kevin zero in first protests have started in portugal's capitalised and tonight where chancellor angela merkel's visiting people there blame the german leader for their nation's economic hardships the country may face a credit rating downgrade fitch has issued a negative outlook tonight r.t. sara first reports from the country's capital. political myself being more tolerant of the all star team measures imposed on lead in the past in that seventy eight billion year i bet there'll be no you won't welcome here today the german chancellor angela merkel is the crowds have turned up to protest against austerity measures that she's been having of the day when the country's president and prime

minister back in d.c. are going to be delivering a supportive message to the very tough spots that they've been making a bit as we said a real difference of opinion from the population here that the government has a very strong popular and political opposition to the measures that they've been trying to tell us and portugal on the brink right now than placing the severest budget that they've had in recent times because in two days you're going to see and general strike not just in portugal but also another year are you saying countries as well where you can see how many have the pride that again the austerity message that angle of merkel's been delivering a huge amount of people in the space carrying that bat is up for to go very much wanted fibrosis wanted by germany to be that southern european success story that of course is the recession continues political about plenty of recession we're

seeing the anger against the as a start you know it is really man thing here in the country and now we're joined by a processor why are you turning out to protest today these measures have been killing is do you think it has no future it's only precarious unemployment and misery there's a lot of signs against angela merkel why do you think this image and get towards her in particular one of the conductors of this she just keeps pushing and pushing and pushing for government to do this so when you try to resolve the sentiment that you see at cape it was angle of merkel throughout europe at the moment as a cunt. the struggle with the recession i think is even deeper into that cycle of austerity that people say i really chasing off any chance at the country's great. furthur lisbon will debt ridden greece may get two more years to fulfill the preconditions for a new bailout now has been revealed house according to a document drafted the euro group gathering in brussels however all of the yannick

from germany's party of reason thinks the eurozone is already beyond repair and i'm glad merkel's optimistic messages are going to change any of that oh they doubt she does not think that it's working she is not optimistic she is just lying to the people this is what politicians usually do all the life of the people she knows that portugal can never pay back they stopped you cannot avoid bankruptcy these countries are all bankrupt they trust have to declare than that of the public but they want of course of what harm to the people and to the country but the harm would be even greater if you delay to drop out of the euro zone either to drop out of the paper money system it does harm there's no way to avoid this every paper money collapse goes this way so you can't avoid. the syrian conflict continues to break its borders with israel no feeling the ripple effect the jewish state's fired missiles over the border for two consecutive

days in response to mortar shells landing in the golan heights party's policy or has more on that. a mortar shell landed in an open area near the vicinity of in his lady defense force military base in the occupied golan heights it did not cause any injuries or damage but israel immediately responded and fired shells now according to israeli military sources they did hit a syrian mobile artillery but we have no more information at this stage in connection with that but certainly the israeli army confirming that they were direct hits taken on the syrian side now the audio was also issued a complaint with the united nations forces in the area they say that any kind of fire into israel from syria will not be tolerated and that israel will deal with those in the harshest terms this is the second straight day that they has been a mortar fired from syria landing in northern israel the first incident saw israel

responding with warning shots but what is significantly different today is that we are witnessing direct hits now there has been a truce in place between israel and syria since nine hundred seventy three and for the better part of the last four decades there has been an easy peace between these two countries but those latest incidents certainly is sending alarm bells and people are significantly worried that the situation could escape having said this is well does not believe that the mortars that landed in israeli territory were targeted to wards as well but they're rather they are the by products of the fighting that is happening inside syria between rebel forces and forces loyal to the syrian president bashar assad. will move toward the gulf states of recognized new rebel coalition as legitimate representative of the syrian people the body was formed after tomorrow from talks with various opposition factions in cattle's capital though or across weakened the deal is the result of relentless pressure

from the u.s. and its european and arab allies who want to see the current syrian regime toppled but some analysts are questioning whether the newly formed. rebel coalition is taking the real syrian people's interests into account. from the very beginning of the conflict in syria the big question is how much influence do these groups outside of syria actually have within syria and i think there's a strong argument to say that they don't have much widespread support within syria i think a fundamental point which has been missed is that the future affairs of an independent sovereign country are being discussed by foreign governments in a foreign country that is absolutely outrageous we're talking about the united nations the pillars of the united nations states. being completely undermines i mean if there was a domestic crisis for example in spain would it be acceptable for foreign governments to convene in rome the capital of italy to discuss the future affairs

of spain it's absolutely outrageous and it's also illegal ones of international who are. the u.k.'s top general suggested the british troops are on standby to intervene in syria in the case of a worsening humanitarian situation in the country but some british politicians argue the crisis will of deteriorate further with foreign action. well the humanitarian situation is very bad and the only solution to the humanitarian crisis is a cease fire the cease fire isn't going to come about if western forces intervene there will make the situation markedly worse we've had interventions in iraq and libya and there's been a huge loss of life that's followed from that there is no stomach amongst the ordinary people of britain for british forces to be involved in yet another war this has to be sold as a sale to clay and it can only be solved politically if the big powers all of whom have close relations with either syria turkey iran or the neighboring countries get

together and promote an effective ceasefire the political future of syria that has to be the way for the intervention absolutely no way intervention is not going to bring about peace it will only prolong the conflict. generally called with check out one analyst says no more first hand reports from syria they will also find a timeline of the long running civil conflict. the b.b.c.'s in a bad way tonight botched journalism false child abuse accusations and revelations of decades of paedophilia this ng a number of key executives feel the heat that the a broadcasters head of news and a deputy of the latest to step aside today just days after the director general quit his laura smith reports from london. the director general george and wessel resigned over the weekend saying that it he felt it was the owner of both thing to do but what might not be seen as the honorable thing to do is that he's currently taking all four hundred fifty thousand pounds of his yearly pay packets despite

having been in the job only fifty four days and of course much of that fifty four days he spent some would say in effect actually trying to fight these fires that keep on breaking out the b.b.c. and that money will be paid by the taxpayer just the latest thing is these allegations by a man called steve meston who said that he was repeatedly sexually abused as a child by a senior politician that was reported on the b.b.c.'s flagship current affairs program news night and all it only all of that was this steve messam showing the first graph of lord mcalpine and he said oh no actually i'm sorry i was mistaken it wasn't him after all if that hadn't been enough in itself of of the jimmy savile scandal again newsnight had done an investigation into jimmy savile who was a much loved children's entertainer back when i was growing up which essentially exposed him as a paedophile that program though was spiked by b.b.c. b.b.c. leadership they were ordered to drop it at least in part because other parts of the

b.b.c. were preparing a programme that said how wonderful jimmy savile was can of course it's not just news that the b.b.c. does they do a range of programs nature documentaries etc etc so it has been a much loved it loved institution and people hope i think that this change of management will will make that be so again let's have a listen to what they say i still follow b.b.c. news and stuff it doesn't yeah it's true i still just as easy said we wouldn't deter me from using b.b.c. is easy i think you see a g.p. here and it is something that really is the unfortunate you can't control the charles i was asian. so i should just make my broadcasting more here to you who will really be free. the world at least the b.b.c. over a number of years has made a series of blunders and been involved in a number of decisions which have shown somewhat poor judgment. to do with the reporting of the conflicts in the middle east and also an incident surrounding

syria where the b.b.c. used to ferry to graph that was taken in iraq in two thousand and three but used it to illustrate a massacre in the syrian city of houla and there was also back in two thousand and three a very serious instance where a b.b.c. journalist revealed that dr david kelly was the source for his report that the government had sex stop the dossier on the weapons of mass destruction in iraq which of course led to the invasion of iraq. after being outed in that way was subsequently found dead again in the wake of that the director general resigned but this is this is an erosion of trust really that's been going back for some years. reporting from london there and indeed home is not a u.k. citizens these days were. very. professional.

were part of their pillow talk pickle is that i don't know if a lot of you heard this but d.c. and extend actually had taken a couple of living militia members prisoner in and they think that the attack on the consulate was an effort to try to get these prisoners back so that it's still being vetted the challenging thing for general to translate is that in his new position he's not allowed to communicate with the press by the way the cia adamantly denies the allegations that they held prisoners at the consulate in benghazi and nobody at that point heard anything about the cia holding prisoners in benghazi but everybody knew about the access that paula broadwell had to the general because she was his biographer now it turns out that she had an even greater access to the general when general petraeus resigned he cited his own extremely poor judgment and some are wondering whether that your judgment was just about the affair or it could also be about having shared more with his mistress than just a moment together there's another twist to this is when your parents the fall of

broadwell was not the kind you think her felt the f.b.i. were investigating her allegedly caressing his e-mail sent the woman who also happens to know general petraeus and as officials here are saying that's how they found out about the affair general petraeus was idolised the public had to go through a similar trauma if you will with the other again and then general who was also idolized in many ways general stanley mcchrystal he fell from grace and resigned when the rolling stone magazine quoted him saying unflattering things around the administration from the media here of course it's been all over the train a scandal when they learned that there was another woman involved it got. i'm spinning all over again with her discussions about how the level of testosterone affects a man's judgment on all kinds of things they say word every detail of this story and one thing that was actually said to watch is that what the agency and i mean the cia is actually doing doesn't get that much coverage things like how they pick

the targets for the targeted assassination program things that the public should want to know if national security and it's secret but when he comes to the director's bedroom all of a sudden everybody wants to know and the media are there to question every detail of the affair as far as let's say collateral damage from cia drone strikes not as interested gun and she can they will probably ask about has been keeping an eye on the key players in america's military and intelligence as the asia times roving correspondent left with thoughts you've got about it pepper you going to you well you know you really who has done over this all the media who how much damage really has this scandal dealt with first of all as to whether. well it's a bedroom farce not harps back to the nineteenth century or the late eighteenth and france in fact the problem is spread through is a national hero the problem is the second problem is that pharaoh is a national hero but he's basically

a killer if you want to know who but thrills is in cinematic service you go to captain willard francis ford coppola's i walk up ruffled feathers no one gives billing telex warrior the problem so have parents the problems in iraq with his initial surge in iraq and then enough going to stop when he applied iraq was going to go last this was going to the second these are two major leaders but they were sold us public opinion by betrayal himself which was an extremely evil man here batches of running in two thousand and twelve as a ripple to the republican contender in fact in two thousand and five this was the talk of washington the fact that the truth is going to run in two thousand let's walk and it was told by the major at the start of this and we'll get him makers then us mainstream media he's our hero is going to be our next president ok let's backtrack a little bit. this surge in iraq is one thousand and seven especially i saw it over

there with my own eyes how it began and i saw how do was developing essentially betrayals was distributing suitcase full of money to these sunni insurgents in the sunni triangle especially to fight against al qaida and not fight against the americans saying it is safe by book about how fathers are a lot of the army was also fighting sunni is in the sunni triangle and especially inside baghdad there was a tramp a of ethnic cleansing a sunni's in baghdad in this one a triangle specially by the mahdi army so they started before fitzgerald arrived with his surge idea. anywhere bushing to soon be out of by down in the sunni triangle and liberals are a ride with the suitcases full of money good job was already done but i know you close the file you got a book as long as your arm you could talk about this for five minutes but the history lesson for the let's look forward what is the bomber administration to do

now to try and improve the chances that the big washington p.r. machine is moved in full swing who's put tries his replacement going to be you could tell us anything about that would be very good question. the acting director of this is michael morrell eichenwald appointed by obama general structural number two big mistake started with because morrell was part of the bush administration as well he is eventually tied to john brennan the counter insurgency counterterrorism czar after what i was used. for the moment of course we don't know about or two point zero do you always wanted to for this to regain a little bit of credibility not only outside of the west but internally as well would be to appoint somebody fresh face which is not going to happen there are many very good candidates out there so they could corner wilkerson's kollywood paul was

the chief of staff for instance but he's outside of depth in washington that sort of brought in i've said it before i'll say it again i know you're a times correspondent but you'd make a great radio show host except you talk a lot maybe one at a time asia times correspondent love to talk to small catch up with you again thank you. thank you. for asking. that britain's brain drain could soon leave the country desperately short of skilled workers according to a recent report suggests a number of professionals chasing work abroad sought in the past two decades out is probably looks of why for some you can citizens home is no longer with a working. london one of the global financial sense says it was even voted the best place to visit only won it last year but it looks like fewer people want to actually live in britain the u.k.

home office has just released a court that says that an increasing number of executives scientists and academics are choosing to leave britain last year alone some one hundred fifty thousand new cases and emigrate today the seas and now some five million brits live abroad and don't blame the unpredictable weather or the local cuisine experts now say that it's the high rate of taxation and the cost of living that could drive even more brits to move abroad people with the motor of the economy are people with a lot of property approach with an education perhaps with ambition as well we need to keep them in the country you have to face a life of living in london on a very small gross wage maybe even smaller station to a network that's that which we fail as a country and perhaps some sort of system of graduated tax allowances might help us cope perhaps most alarming for the politicians who office findings that the majority of the people that opt out of think you take rat race do so out of an

overall lifestyle choice signalling and see for discontent with living standards here in britain that's not the sense of confidence that we still in national government is hoping for me consider moving abroad to avoid big government slacking off and taking away the good things from the people who think a little bit more even though it's through hard work and dedication over here is that you work until you drop dead they don't want to reward us with a point of continuing companies are already complaining that they find it hard to find highly skilled her friends. foreigners to work in the u.k. because of the u.k. government's how one might ration in order to cut immigration into the country now the growing number of young ambitious brits popping bed might leave the british government wondering where the passion of god. without see

tonight is appreciated coming up in a few minutes supposed to love of this slug it out in the late edition of crosstalk discussing whether the re-elected barack obama campaign did deliver on his promises this time around. in japan the average height for men is one hundred eighty two centimeters and ten centimeters shorter because of that some employers refused to hire me one of them even told me directly that i was too short to deal with the client's computers already spent three months in this hospital and plans to stay for another four to add the coveted seven santa majors to his stature invented by the famed soviet orthopedic is good for you is there a from the nineteen fifties these frames were initially used to treat fractures in deformities by cutting bones and slowly pulling them up or therefore stimulating

tissue regeneration it was out of was able to receive arms and legs and people who thought they were crippled for life be sent to the other patients shattered bones and in many cases their shattered lives with the main goal when professing the result of design his first brain using bicycle parts sixty years later season velshi is increasingly being used to help people what eager to fracture their legs to become a few centimeters taller than the ultimate goal is still the same fixing somebodies live both literally and figuratively about a third of patients admitted she was out of center now days seeking surgery focus magic reasons. most of them are man and most are not what you would call vertically challenged professor novick of who operated on many of them sas it usually comes down to man's pride some of the first patient to turn to us with a leg length i mean a quest to meet his fifteen centimeters to be still want to surgery because panos

tool than him we like to say that we need to break their legs in order to fix their head maybe nothing wrong with them from an orthopedic point of view but there is something psychological that prevents them from living their lives fully being happy and we fix it like lengthening surgeries a band in many countries and even the out there pretty expensive in russia the entire course costs eleven thousand dollars about one tenth of the similar package in the united states financial considerations for one of the reasons that brought this washington state native to western siberia his main motive for the surgery had to do with how he fared in the others in america average height is one seventy five i was one sixty seven or one sixty eight and so one eight centimeters would have brought me right to average users wanted to be average for women height isn't so important you know i think girl can be sure it's not a big deal i think the guy is like expected to be taller just before the operation

most this matter a russian girl who found he's a regional hide quite in dealing yet he still went ahead with the surgery adding seven more centimeters to he self-confidence she told me the whole time you're crazy you're normal you're perfect. for an hour or so they call you so what a compliment for somebody who's used to falling short of his own expectations. and. hello and welcome across talking people about the day of fiscal reckoning is almost upon us by the end of this year the president of the united states.
