own a ship of an entire ikea power girl in the east china sea maybe off for review not by talk hero but by beijing in our islands of shame is home to sprawling u.s. military bases and tens of thousands of american troops the people's daily considers a mouthpiece of china's communist party openly claim to the archipelago in an article written by condemning quickly had backed the denouncing the paper as a political tool and declaring its ownership of our beyond doubt if the latest surge oriel disappeared tomorrow relations between the two agent powers birth also can tell contesting another island chain let's get some thoughts on what time of the hoping to achieve here dr chan gagne's a singapore based expert on chinese affair dr dang any potential chinese claim to argue now and surrounding islands will be. you know is that best so what's beijing

playing at here. actually this is not the first time that the chinese scholars argue against the japanese sovereignty over okinawa by this time while what is strange is that the official media people still need a decided to publish our a very lengthy comment to read from these scholars on the server and on the controversial someone to use you are japanese ownership walk ok now or so you to me indicates that the chinese officials where did least some of the officials wanted to use as to appear as a card. in the game we stepped in over their disputed it's a yagi island japan isn't the one to bag down in their territorial disputes or as it has demonstrated before does time the risk of provoking to penny into ramming yeah i think this is actually china's movies quite

a risky at this moment because just being used quite decisive far on the use you also dog the islands and now if you want to challenge us ownership of the okinawa i think dancing a day job fair and we'll try to fight back more or less seriously and what's more interesting is that actually now it's always too occupied us troops so i think there's time after the china's movies it's very aggressive so is there any danger also untag allies in washington bearing the yeah names and military bases that the . i don't actually this report has the ministry of foreign affairs of china and even the chinese army you know a very awkward position so if you nancy i view of that ok now are you still part of china then what are you going to do next to take back that territory do you really want to use force i think the u.s.

will be will use as an excuse to further stress the knees arguments of coming back to give or going back to asia beijing is a rising star here quick economic growth has also has its own dangers does a rapid political expansion hold similar perils. yes i think if we look at china's minute to restructure it as being a rising by fast and are actually china has quite a number also there are tall reduced swiss neighboring countries i think this may show also china will probably take a further aggressive moves on those uses such a time as rapid emitter militarization is warning its neighbors no doubt why does it add to outrage when that the us a believes up its own forces in the region

i think probably because of the domestic domestic pressures on the way nance the nationalistic sentiment in st i know it's been growing quite fast and people are dissatisfied with corruption far off the government inside the government and also who do not like the rare reality of the soft diplomatic. stance from from the chinese government so they want the government to be tougher on those issues well we'll leave it right there the whole thing and ten gang who's speaking to us now based the expert in that time these affairs i thank you very much for your insights. coming up later this hour how people under pressure in greece saw him bag for survival. workers in north greece or just plain old from others though are taking control of their plans to try and keep them going join me tom watson on the scene for a look inside the crisis in greece in just

arrived e.u. migrants to access public services such as schools hospitals and accommodation the move comes just seven months before labor restrictions are lifted and the e.u.'s newest members remain ian ball garia are allowed to live and work freely anywhere within the european union brussels response to the letter has been lukewarm they want to see evidence that this so-called benefits terrorism actually exists to talk about the issue i'm joined by her be brockman from the joint council for the wealth of immigrants thank you very much for joining us do you think there is the threat of all this pressure being put on public services in the u.k. let me tell you first this is an awful b.-a on share mad because. evidence suggest otherwise we know that two million. nationals came to this country and only thirteen thousand of them out of two million claimed jobseeker's allowance we know

that for the health service that we have got two hundred billion pounds the budget for a national health service and only ten to twenty million pounds where recouped from european nationals so these are not. backed by evidence evidence is there if this is a myth propagated by the media then why are the politicians of four key western european countries so concerned about it you see the politicians are pandering to the responsible tabloid media and public inciting to get some tivo but if we want to have a harmonized economy we want everyone's betterment in europe then we should work towards not protectionism habeeb rachman thank you very much for your comments well there you have it the free movement directive one of the pillars the founding pillars of the european union but it looks like at the moment some key western countries are uniting together against

a united europe. london. the u.k. is also facing tough criticism from another financial quarter the syme the international monetary fund which has want britain to ease up on the tell the belt tightening rather the national circuit secretary of the socialist workers party told us the government needs to rethink its priorities in tracking the country out of the doldrums. it's extraordinary that the international monetary fund which is the high priests of neoliberalism who have imposed a stare at a as part of the troika along with the european union in the earthian central bank across the continent even though they are now telling osborne that his economic policies are a complete failure and they're causing a heart attack for the economy with no gross with unemployment rising and with social chaos caused by these policies and there are more and more people who are completely fed up with these a stereotype policies which are attacking people's living standards while at the

same time at the other pole of society the very very rich grow ever richard the reality is that the attempts to cut the deficit have caused the economy to come to a halt and what we need is to completely change the priorities we need to stop the imperial adventures in afghanistan and the talk of more involvement in syria we need to stop the trident nuclear program and we need to take the power away from the wealthy people at the top of society and start putting people first not profits . still to come up the u.s. dishes all the dollars will israeli defense spending hundreds of millions on the anti-missile iron dome system despite criticism that it's not as effective as it's being presented. and the house was full going with the flood these workers in russia definitely got into the swing of things with their rather

bizarre method tossing a river the sun must more in a couple of minutes stay with us from. modern russia was built. for its front trees. hope for it steal. more gold is it more than heat for its people to. join me james brown to meet the men spend their lives underground and lead in one of the world's most dangerous professions. it would lead to. heart says cole on altie.

he'll. be. welcome back you're watching r t the us as plans to push further to get israel and palestine to the negotiation table well. secretary of state john kerry planning a trip to the middle east even so washington continues to spend hundreds of millions of dollars on the israeli army including funding the iron dome anti-missile system arjun's policia has been hearing from various who say the complex just isn't worth it. the brains behind the iron dome. but the funding is mostly american war and americans. assistance it solves the discussion and offered

their assistance they have washington recently pledged an additional six hundred eighty million dollars for deployment intercept a system that advocates claim has a success rate of more than eighty percent you know the numbers i've seen the results are you endorsing them completely even obama has gotten in on the act his first stop at a recent trip to israel was to an iron dome back tree where he told soldiers they're doing an amazing job because so much money has been spent on this defense missile system that now needs to be marketed and sold otherwise how do you justify something that has already cost the american taxpayer millions of dollars but for all its hifi iron dome which is designed to intercept and destroy short range rockets aimed at populated areas is not foolproof i have a lot of question marks questions that include the system's effectiveness weapons experts in the united states and even in israel say the i.d.f. has y.

be overstated its intercept success rate by a factor of ten or more you can see very clearly that the project like this that it's impossible to get a warhead work. so we've. destroyed eighty four percent of the incoming orkut the celebrated technological wonder exploded onto the international stage after last year's israel gaza war but the math did not add up it proved disproportionately expensive as a defense against crude homemade palestinian rockets and. militants there are assembling these rockets which cost about one hundred dollars to make. which are very little more than than a pipe with an explosive to propel it forward. and they aren't going rockets. actually cost fifty thousand dollars. each pocket so shooting two rockets to intercept one. of the amassed makeshift runs

a makeshift rockets would cost. yes thousand times more than the cost of the rockets that is being intercepted but the i.d.f. has good reason to mislead the world about its effectiveness not only to taxpayers once you know the money is being well spent but enemies need to be deterred especially gaza militants firing at israel's southern border city of stewart. solution even more they develop. the difference they were both was. the only. difference is they were given the history of missile defense to step shouldn and the strong israeli incentive to deceive the people who pay for the system should be asking hard questions about how well it really works the r.t. . on our website a renowned physicist or c. even hawking is causing a big bang over his refusal to travel to israel cameras university first said he

wasn't going because of health problems but later admitted his reasons were political get the details online. and a cargo train with fifty fuel tankers to rail the example in russia with carriages exploding into fireballs causing thousands of people to evacuate the area r.t. dot com has more on the accident. the greek prime minster minister says he expects the country's economy to be on the up again by twenty fourteen but of that optimistic view probably isn't being shared by workers who are left to fend for themselves tom barton reports from a factory abandoned by its own now where the laborers have taken control after almost two yes of unpaid work. it looks just like another day at the vo me factory in northern greece making building and cleaning products but these workers shouldn't even be here this fragment of the old workforce has taken control of the

factory from its owners this is via maze central office all of their old office workers left and the owners lock them out of the office block for the moment they run their entire company from this room. the dead pot plants and shuttered windows sit next to the emmys new philosophy on the war in red self management in huge legal disputes the owning company fulcrum johnson claims to have no money and wants its factory back. this employer paid these workers for thirty years and paid them well i suggest that the workers now should support their employer at this difficult moment. workers for their part a desperate after twenty two months without pay they receive food aid from unions and solidarity movement they guard the stock and the plant seeing it is their only way to start earning money again despite the threats but with the law stacked against workers in crisis torn greece few dare try the same this more the general

picture i mean i don't think i'm going to see huge movement to forgive something to take over the octopus for these workers though this is an economic last stand they're trying nothing less than to change greek law to recognize the concept of self management in order to legally sell their products and when i ask them they have a message for the owners after myself and that usually they abandon us here and disappeared so i have nothing to say to them they prefer to pay for these trials instead of paying our salaries. aleck our son his coworkers don't see themselves as revolutionaries instead they thought predicament is a result of painful decisions forced on those on the factory floor and in the boardroom by a crisis that keeps breaking all the norms tom barton party next prove how you can rise above anything if you've got the means and the will power

but in a cost not by explaining how a group of russians a wave of inspiration got them from aig to bill. it really seems like one collab can you just look at the key there are so many people there and amazingly they're not just standing there for a bus right there actually crossing the river using these to ask a vader's so for some it can be have a traffic and for others to have a way now let me give you some details on what is actually happening that this video was shot at the end of march in the north of the mountains and as you can see the area is flooded and it also seems that there is going to be a bridge built there in the future but for now people still have to cross it somehow and it seems they've found a way better call it an adrenaline draw and now you've got one ask evader loaded with three sometimes even more people now it means the other one half way people climb from one ask a vader to be other it all looks rather dangerous but look at the people they

seemed quite pleased with themselves anyway when this video first appeared on the internet it went viral with so many comments and very few people were actually concerned about the fate of the passengers some even labeled this video as another example of how russians can be resilient and resourceful well it's really hard to argue with that watching this footage. some of today's a world headlines for you now for the clashes have erupted between police and students marching for free education in chile's capital security forces used water cannon to hold back the writers in santiago tens of thousands of students took part in nationwide demonstrations as part of an ongoing movement for education reform the began back in two thousand and ten. britain is pushing for the e.u. arms embargo against syria to be amended all lifted so that weapons can get to the

you know i've been asked a few times if i believe in conspiracy theories which is kind of an odd question i mean just in general believe in conspiracy theories like all of them even the ones that contradict each other i mean j.f.k. could have been killed by the mob the cia the k.g.b. and very secret societies at the same time or could he have been know what you just declare themselves official conspiracy theories that's silly obviously it isn't good just go around fishing for evil plots to explain every situation the mainstream media sure does lie a lot but i think they're telling the truth about that whole sky being blue thing but on the other hand if you never question what the cloning box in your house tells you that just makes you a sucker a kind of sucker who bought that they were magical mysterious invisible weapons of mass destruction in iraq and you know what in all honesty there's actually been

real evil conspiracies that have been exposed like the tuskegee experiment and the fascist coup attempt against president roosevelt in one nine hundred thirty s. over all people think it's pearcey theories are a matter of belief but actually they're completely a matter of facts and there's a lot of good evidence to support a conspiracy and good arguments that maybe you should consider it but if someone tells you the president is actually a rip tell him from the cosmos yeah you might want to just stay away from that one but that's just my opinion. well. it's technology innovations all the developments around russia we've got the future covered. good afternoon to welcome to prime interest i'm terry and boring here in washington d.c. here's the stories that we're tracking today. the u.s.
