it's a pleasure to have you with us here on our t.v. it's now seven o'clock you're with me to bang with say the postponement of the inauguration date for venezuelan president hugo chavez is legal according to the country's supreme court meanwhile the country's vice president has called for people together in front of the presidential palace to on of the eighteen leader who said to be recovering from cancer surgery in cuba lawyer eva golinger says the country's opposition could use the president's protracted absence to destabilize the country. article two thirty one of the venezuelan constitution does leave open to interpretation the issue of inauguration when the elected president cannot meet the date of january tenth before the national assembly which is the parliament what the article specifically says in

a second clause is that in the case of unforeseen circumstances then the president elect will be sworn in before the supreme court but it doesn't give a date for there is another article in the constitution venezuela under which president chavez was authorized to leave the country for more than five days back in early december in order to undergo the surgery and that article allows him to be absent from the country for its ninety days which can be renewed for another ninety days the issue is whether or not he's now incurring those first ninety days or is he under just the initial authorization now it's really way is it is going to be determined sooner because it's there's no question that the president has now been out of the country for more than a month he's been absent from the spotlight there's not really a crisis at this time the opposition is trying to say there's a crisis and there's no doubt they're calling for national strikes all kinds of protests as there are already asking for the organization of american states and

the united states to intervene so that's going to be ongoing and yes the longer that chavez is away the more time that will give them to prepare and to further prior progress with plans to the stabilize his government and try to create some situation where new elections can be convened european leaders have voiced their support for a deal designed to reduce the island's banking debt the news comes as the president of the european council have men from drum paul held top level talks in dublin after the country took over the e.u. rotating presidency and some experts believe the island to must get their own house in order before taking up the challenge of pulling the european union out of the financial district. island has its own economic problems which are continuing of course as the economic problems which have been happening ever since the euro which created high inflation there and then of course exacerbated the faster they had ready to take on the presidency of the european council is of course a very large piece of work not just for the senior politicians in the government

but also for many of the civil servants and they would be better off spending their time really trying to address arlen's economic difficulties rather than trying to solve the problems within the european union which are very great indeed of course unemployment now in the you is alarmingly high and of course the thing is that arlen when he says island is the reason the island supposed to for austerity means that the irish people are not protesting and taking up their white to protest as people in spain and greece have done because we know that austerity at this time point actually work last year in the euro in the single currency it will create more economic problems and that's why we see unemployment across the eurozone rising quite alarming for you so he's very happy that arlen is getting on with the e.u. as policy of austerity but actually it's actually the long policy this time. the i.m.f. top economist olivea blanchard admits he was wrong about earlier sorry to forecast

admitting failure to see the grave consequences which the financial measures brought on reka e.u. countries such as greece and i.m.f. working paper says the funder significantly underestimated any potential increase in unemployment. your poorly a london based financial advice and wealth manager says regardless of the latest statements the people will end up paying for government's mistakes. the reality is of course the most waste western governments which includes most of the southern european countries the level of state involvement in the economy has grown substantially over the last few years and what happens is of course that any significant austerity measures will have a massive impact on on the economy what is being is debt accumulation that's the same in the us and most of most of europe mary is continuing massive accumulation of sovereign debt. for some point this

was. through. through the european central bank through the germans and then the european community has imposed these these massive austerity measures on the southern european peripheral countries and of course it's not the people's follow the government has overspent it's not the people's fault but the banking system has failed and needed to be back but it's the people who have to deal with the dead through higher taxation and have to. enjoy all these these massive austerity measures. as the economic crisis continues to rage on regulators are coming under fire as are making banks lives easier rather than the people's and it appears the why don't the

public knows little of how and where the big decisions about the global financial future being made as artie's pete all of our reports. have you ever heard the wall about the bank is the billions and bars all the chances are you probably haven't but six times a year central bank heads from the u.s. europe asia and everywhere in between representing around three quarters of global economic output gather in the swiss city to talk shop behind closed doors i personally also don't like these secretive meetings because. you never know what in effect. is discussed in these meetings it's something that has a tradition that's put there play i mean bankers have always talked to each other in a more secretive way the whole business of banking is not really built on transparency but rather on trust and confidentiality the continuing global financial crisis has

seen the banking sector firmly in the spotlight with more than a few accusing fingers pointed in the direction of bankers it's the job of the secretive bars all committee to set regulations on banks the chairman of the group says he wants the public to be better informed about the work they do it's not that many years ago since this was basically a group of central banks it's expanded its membership considerably and in the process of that the whole governance arrangements of have changed as well and i think this is an attempt to explain to you in the world in general what those changes amount to and whether critics of the group are scathing in their criticism of what they see as an old boys club looking out for the needs of banking bosses as opposed to keeping the industry in line bezel three has failed to meet any objective in the you know faint hope of reining in banks this this is what we talked about today the banks does have to be reined in because the banking system

in itself as a general rule has left its you know bottom sense despite mervyn king saying that he wants people to do better. what the balls will committee actually do the very nature of the banking industry and its need for a certain level of secrecy means that the big decisions that will affect people all over the world will continue to be made by a small group of people who think it's not building just behind me peter all of a r.t. basel switzerland on the way eleven years of indefinite detention we discussed the ramifications of washington's decision to keep the notorious guantanamo bay military prison a thing despite rock obama's long running plans to shut down the facility. he leaned on the roof as rival palestinian groups hamas and fatah tried to overcome the differences look into how israel's occupation policies may have brought the

is the problem the international community is the problem of the countries that facilitated the journeys and the travel of these men to guantanamo bay in the first place when everybody was in afghanistan or pakistan or fighting the americans at all the united states doesn't seem to have a very credible position but unfortunately it's not just united states that has failed on this issue it's the whole international community through their collusion in continuing to keep guantanamo bay open. we'll be bringing you more coverage of the eleventh anniversary of the guantanamo bay on the air and on our web site at our dot com. your borders and beyond the courts eleven years on the ground turn of the remains open for business our team looks at the interrogation nerve center of america's war on terror. the future of the of afghanistan rather is up for discussion as the country's leader means top american officials in washington because i stalls with u.s.

want that out because it gives him more. or it makes him look more powerful on the negotiating table and within the context of his own constituents however he also needs some protection so it will be a little bit of a catch twenty two situation for that i think probably hopes to achieve a few things one is continued military support for the afghan troops so they can maintain their own military or army if you will and the second has. continued. monetary support and some development efforts there. this man may not have the boys conventional local government but he is looking to make a mug in check politics find out more online. also dodgy dot com cologne's most famous i can tell you mark is literally on shaky ground

with seventeen of us were given approval to go back home. it was back in two thousand and seven in a surprise coup that he must took control of gaza from wyvil faction group fatah one hundred sixty one people were killed and more than seven hundred injured when the dust settled the palestinian people were divided a mass was in charge in gaza fatah called the shots in the west bank hundreds fled their homes from both in fear of their lives like other fatah supporters from gaza mohammed took refuge in the west bank waiting for the day we conciliation would come. all denied i prayed to god to protect my son mohamad i prayed for his safety and asked god to bring him back home safe and now for the first time we conciliation between the two sides looks promising each feels boosted by recent successes and is more willing to compromise hamas is capitalizing on the recent conflict with israel despite the heavy cost fatah who's claiming victory after its

president mahmoud abbas successfully upgraded palestinian status at the united nations as her musson fattah move closer together the irony is that they getting help from israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu in his right wing policies and rhetoric are winning the palestinian support and sympathy on the international stage it was on that on yahoo's watch that as the recent united nations palestinian statehood bid demonstrated european unfailing support for israel has floundered it was also an attorney on whose watch that u.s. is revelations reached their lowest ebb and now it's on his watch again that palestinian unity seems plausible promise. for her it's a long term interest of her for us to think of as a cooperate again because otherwise they're running the risk that the west bank will be and probably part of the same political structure which defacto right now is the case leaders from both sides have a new day calls for reconciliation if you think that of course.

between hamas and the catastrophe it's proof that doesn't mean peace etc etc but for this family nothing can detract from the feeling of gratitude enjoyed of a father and son coming home they tears and smiles it could a hope that a new chapter is also about to open in gaza political life police here r.t. on the israel gaza border. some other world news in brief and israeli police are treating a car bombing in central tel aviv as a criminal not a terrorist act several people were injured when the blast went off near a bus station not far from the israeli defense ministry headquarters authorities believe the attack could have been an attempt to assassinate a local crime ring leader political violence has also not been ruled out as the incident comes less than two weeks before the parliamentary election. the syrian foreign ministry has slammed the top international peace envoy to the

because they are normal food stuffs are like rabbits a lot more scarce this year so there is some of these pictures show this is a wolf in a zoo but some of these other pictures show wolves in the wild in siberia usually they would stay well away from these reindeer herds but they're being driven there by hunger it killed sixteen thousand reindeer last year that's simply too much the numbers of wolves have reached three thousand five hundred new kuti now and the president of that republic says that's too much that the attrition rate as it were on the reindeer has reached it now too expensive they're losing too many reindeer and that's become a serious problem sure it doesn't like a serious problem and like you said it probably happens because there is an imbalance of other animals in the forest and that's why the wolves are driven out of the forest and exactly closer to the people so what is the solution to the problem under the circumstances is there any and all solution is as you might

probably think relatively simple just step up the hunting of the wolves a sort of a natural cole as it were of these planned cull of the of these wolves so that the president the public has really really gone for that and said rewards will be offered to hunters six. figure awards for the top three hunters the aim is to kill three thousand of the three thousand five hundred wolves in new york in the next three months starting in a few days' time and that hopefully will bring the numbers down to what experts say is it should be the natural level about five hundred wolves or not three thousand five hundred or. after the break it's every martin with breaking the set.
