arrest made i have a debt so which which they i use this stays as a consequence the state has managed to gather no sign maybe in your eyes to state coffers sipe is right to come down on paper with up on paying that was this just a step to saw well within all still to make sketches he's in both economies an international lawyer he's joining me from athens just now hynix a first of all what you make of this me. well it's a little bit of a desperate measure of desperate times and it will hit the desperately poor people hardest this is paying the measure but the troika has advocated the troika of backstopping lenders of course since twenty ten and they finally got their way when push comes to shove the lenders usually get their way. we all know that ing greece one third of the people live above the poverty line so the idea that you can squeeze blood from a star is quite silly i think it's going to be

a very regressive measure it'll probably be the small mistakes of the small fry or the big fish that are very sophisticated in our millions in back taxes are going to get away scot free and there is no argument make a note of this the greek people are notorious for avoiding paying tax is that i'm sad to say. no it's not unfair to say a big reason reasoning behind it the greek health since the education system infrastructure and pensions are just a disaster so great people certainly don't like to pay taxes because that i would say value for their money at the moment there is about sixty three billion euros in back taxes or now this is an economy of about two hundred billion euros have a country with a national debt of three of the thirteen billion euro of course out of the sixty three billion forty billion is are by bankrupt companies so it's going to have to be written off what they're trying to do is access some of the money of the twenty three billion left. but of course i doubt they're really going to collect very much

but this policy idea is that. everyone is trying to rule the system the reality is it's only a small minority that are doing that but they're going to be clobbering millions of people across the very. long way ahead a rocky ride no doubt. talking to us from athens thank you very much indeed for your time today so greece is on the way out of recession apparently am we've also got island will some positive news because today the country will officially break away from international funding of the country will no longer be dependent on its eighty five billion euro bailout it's happened three years now and just this week bank of america merrill lynch's economic outlook for twenty four teams in it they said i live alone which i haven't a all the only years and countries likely to see a significant in their words pick up next year. now the bank said the island's

economy would grow one point nine percent next year more than twice its projection for the usa and just ahead of germany as well says dive into detail how almost we would get the reality from mr i've across a. from the german how many times have you. listened tell me last time we chatted about this we develop a it's all right for you rosie and one for a very pretty but the reality is quite different here you go look below the top line if you look at the property market right now if you're seeing greater relative any quality rents are being pushed up words salaries are still remaining very low obviously there's been lots of cuts so people are suffering because of the world across the board health care is probably the most inefficient health care system in europe and on top of that you've got very slow job creation and it's all about jobs that we have is that i we know that that's how people survive and so the only place you should if issues are there you know the problems are really there and you don't see that the top line numbers we just see the pretty numbers listen on and still has the year. right what does that mean how close they decided to have to

watch the likes of portugal spain greece if they go down audience could be in trouble as well they're watching the euro very carefully the their very very tightly managed by the european commission for example of the troika are still there they still have a very strong influence of what arlen can do there is a warning that was issued from brussels last week when a draft budget was revealed from the from dublin and european commission wanted audience to increase their crops to be an increase were being made european commission is looking for to know how we can become one catalyst some sort of still roosevelt smallest era to be more more coats and you know more. more social and happiness yet from our hearts ache for the average us argument yet it's still something you see so the general view the positive view the island as opposed to boys for. instance oh it's i got it i think i think on the one hand yes arland has has had to take the large people have taken an extraordinary amount of

pain probably too much pain in my opinion but it was the opinion for example of joseph stiglitz the nobel prize winning economist who thinks excuse me who thinks that they are people who were made to bear an unfair burden by the the austerity policies that were that were forced upon them in the decision to let the financial terrorists get away with one hundred thirty billion in about that so i think. i think the situation in arlington is not something that's going to change very quickly i think we're looking at a lost decade in orland and i think as long as issues like immigration are running rampant i think you're going to see a very very slow recovery for a country that's taking a battering from the world economy got to our the cross a artie's news editor he's now going to do an hour is down three go. thank you so you know it's time he was very much. the global economy struggles with excessive debt to russia is playing their heroes so it's

a mess by writing off debt that is owed to various countries around the world this week a deal to rise of ninety percent of cuba's thirty two billion dollars debt owed to russia was signed cuba's economy has been crippled by the fifty year trade involved by the u.s. which is being called a barbaric genocide by the country's foreign minister but it's not just cuba that russia is going soft on over the last twelve years russia has been given a total of one hundred sixteen billion dollars of debt so what other countries are being told to put their money back in their coffers that will it have a well the whole of africa has been let off paying back the second biggest amount which is over twenty billion dollars and it's afghanistan which will no longer have to pay back the twelve billion then it's a rock which will get to keep eleven point nine billion dollars and they were going to have it. with eleven billion in tie so. eleven

billion they can keep hold of as well charge but russia right now all right let's move on. now let's get to corporate we're going to talk about russian pows because christmas is around the corner and apparently the situation is getting better because it is notoriously bad so expensive process says it will deliver fifty percent of all apostles between now and new year's eve in the same period last year the company promises they'll be known the piece of them out. since the policy is that most of those assholes in april so it sounds like sounds will be they said well it. doesn't have a problem start russ telecom is preparing to slops jobs with them all stay off this proposed. one hundred fifty five thousand stop the main reason for that layoffs is the companies that provide have a say. things are rough says the president to social networks facebook contacts it's just stopped offering a subscription to movies so the site will collaborate with media and which owns the

rights to hate speech i say game with friends i'm breaking. now i'm going to get a little bit emotional now because we're going to get to the business desk of with mr thomas for the last time. come on tell me how you've been getting on i'm not going to be asking you this ever again. well i'd like to tell you that i had great news but unfortunately if you remember i was in financials speer bank down at one percent this meeting that i'd lost one hundred twenty four dollars bringing my grand total to twelve thousand three hundred thirty seven for my final portfolio you know i wish i could have a great news but unfortunately i lost my last round of i k i'm not a mathematician but that means your up for the year tell us about the experience i do you know i. have favorite polish i say tell me about your experience how he found the whole thing so well. that i said thank you very much and i'm sure that you're her favorite part of the show ok five more up twenty three percent that's

actually really good considering this is very difficult people should not invest week to week in chasing trends they should actually do a more long term strategy and leave it to the professionals and do the long term type investing but what we did was we started off with metals in august at ten thousand dollars took a huge hit end of the month at seven thousand six hundred thirty one then slowly progressively each month got better and. one thousand four hundred sixty three october of one thousand nine hundred thirty november for the first time we added above that ten thousand mark it turned out the nine hundred ninety two that's when you got your plane tickets to sorcery on the budget airline of course december twelve thousand three hundred thirty seven. percentage increase of twenty three percent which is good overall but of a very very tricky and dangerous strategy listen thanks ever so much for getting involved there so we really appreciate it but overall in fantastic mr schultz almost in-house investor for twenty thirty. now as you just heard sean managed to

make the majority of his gaze during the big coin boom when the virtual currency rates the one thousand mark now at this point the world of global finance started to take note and now u.s. banking giant j.p. morgan is planning to launch their very own cash system now much like big court this new electronic system will allow users to make payments completely anonymously and users would not have the expense of today's why if that's what the bank says anyway but you know what the reality is the world has already gone virtual is more than ninety percent of all financed transactions taking place over the in sadly some of the how big did perform this year thanks it's been a very interesting one and we'll be able to see that the price has actually tripled since october hey we've got these two booms going on just in the world took note of that because. now moving on an official symbol for the russian car is the the

ruble has finally been approved by the center of baghdad now we're going to have a look. at it one out of a thousand options here. so this is actually i russian like a paid to foreigners like me who are more familiar with the latin alphabet but we must remember it's definitely not the people it is the root of all this is a song. the government is hoping the robot will have more of an international status an abstention currency as well that's the idea behind it all right guys that is the rationale for that's and i have friends i thought today thank you so much for joining me it's been fun it's been informative but i see that as well but next week we're going to go all to christmas a storm that. just

imagine a foreign leaders like alexander lukashenko or vladimir putin to shoot up an anti e.u. protest and a greece are hungry to urge people to leave the e.u. and join up with the eurasian customs union obviously the big media would be on fire screaming that this is part of an attempt to use the marker see and steal the country's away as some sort of imperialist agenda and you know what they might be right about that but the weird thing is that for some reason the mainstream media isn't talking about foreign politicians speaking to and or possibly agitating protesters in ukraine like speaker of the lithuanian parliament loreto grows in india and e.u. vice president gets a pro to see a bitch and former polish pm jaroslav kaczynski you have the european union brassfield is just fine for their politicians to go to foreign countries and fire up protestors to start april you revolution but then all their journalist write about is how russia is trying to put pressure on ukraine to not join the e.u.

the obvious hypocrisy of this stinks all the way up to moscow but the shust by painting. the boat were. very productive. to both. in germany to be able to work to the media or or to speech and to the region the whole reason that is going through a big crisis. so well in germany is ukraine they say has space easily so many other every piece of slim's in reach the quibbling simmonds they could bring better bain's they can extend their boat live of one million people come to a month of. torch is on its

epic journey to such. one hundred and twenty three days. through two thousand nine hundred towns and cities of russia. relayed by fourteen thousand people or sixty five thousand killing. in a record setting trip by land air sea and others face. a limp dick torch relay. on r t r g dot com. wealthy british style. markets finance scandal find out what's really happening to the global economy for a no holds barred look at the global financial headlines to name two kinds of reports on our.

science technology innovation called a list of elements from around russia we've got the future covered. who has nuclear weapons in the middle east and this threatening to use them coming up. then you mean you revealing what he really thinks about america. the world's top war crimes prosecutor tells us why he helped convict israel for genocide. and we're going to be a becomes a battlefield as lobbies try to rewrite history.

colin powell will crimes commission on november twenty sixth found israel guilty of genocide against the palestinians tribunal stays consistent evidence it heard from eyewitnesses concluded since nine hundred forty eight there have been repeated mass killings through and naval strikes forced expulsion from israel of hundreds of thousands of palestinian survivors moussa koussa of those who refused to leave continued seizure of palestinian lands for jewish settlements some public roads in israel itself offered jews only jews officially discriminated blood banks refused to accept blood from ethiopian jews use against palestinian civilians of illegal white phosphorus which the tribunal notes tears out the insides of human bodies the land and sea blockade of palestinian territory leading to a state of quote siege and imprisonment of the entire nation denial of food and

drinking water and the stealing of palestinian water results jews and hundreds of checkpoints on palestinian lands to create quote impossible conditions of life some see the whole crimes tribunal is highly controversial polity and question is. sortie and just missy. for ministry for response this was this summary. distorting historical reality by calling israel's actions crimes as an insult to intelligence there is now seen jungles out but a naval blockade have been declared in accordance with international law however the independent reports top israeli officials on the record admitting a premeditated intention. the goal is to send back to the middle ages. really need to flatten all of gaza the americans didn't stop with hiroshima they hit nagasaki too unaware he's being filmed israel's prime minister reveals he wants

to inflict quote unbearable pain on arabs and claims he's manipulating america the main thing is to hit the arabs so painful that it will be unbearable the world will say we're defending america something that can be very easily moved without urgent action the un's report finds girls that will be quote unlivable by twenty twenty one it news reports israel repeatedly bombs goes only power station when treatment plants run out of fuel last week thousands of liters of rule sewage again run in calls the streets it's not floodwaters which this man struggles walk through waste and sewage even our children that if they want to go to the schools or to the shops were forced to carry it out we've become sick and have trouble breathing and new skin diseases emerging because of this situation the post years this idea of brigadier michael eagle starring was a great one for television broke its attacks from girls on settlements have stopped

in those yet israel's reciprocal pledges to help girls the rights the economist hasn't been kept un special rapporteur on human rights warns the world is slouching towards nothing less than a palestinian holocaust first richard fuld thank you very much for joining us why is this behavior actually genocidal when you. are. and if an ethnic group and inflict this kind of punishment. you are. in a shack. nurturing kind of criminal intention that is genocidal was leading war crimes prosecutor helped establish the genocide tribunals first affronts this boils and president milosevic to the hague is now working for the creation of the hague international criminal tribunal for israel

first of all thanks so much for joining us israel's no threats and preemptive conventional and nuclear strikes on tehran what is its legal basis absolutely not moral core already decided that in the legality of nuclear weapons case that the. threat stands the same footing as the actuality of preventive or preempt two or three or was can down by the her try the end all but the bottom line is israel uses its nuclear weapons to terrorize and intimidate the less surrounding states in the region it has nothing to do. with defense the guardian reports how close we've already come to all out war prime minister netanyahu ordered a peep plus alerts on iran's energy facilities in twenty ten that would make quote an israeli military strike inevitable a country spy chief with

a gun knows it was an illegal move without going through as ation of cabinet and the netanyahu was quote trying to steal a war it's not no more stop that's in your has order being carried out but it received extremely forceful opposition from two people who were informed all me had gabby ashkenazi a man who called netanyahu his plan quote the stupidest idea i have ever heard both . have now left their posts israel's institute for national security studies war gamed precisely the attack ordered by netanyahu and found two outcomes possible one a contained reaction the other world war three. six zero from his producer and also the gilad atzmon renounced his jewish religion and israeli citizenship the core of jewish identity he says has become racism joins us now it's great to speak to you why do we keep getting these unprovoked apocalyptic crises them or. are. them all down

by then the palestinians may as well be. there was the day i've been to be. sure former us intelligence estimate chairman ray mcgovern estimates four in five americans don't know israel might even have an atomic bomb thanks to complete distortions by mainstream media suggesting iran is the nuclear power and iran where their nuclear program ready to aim those missiles straight ad straight at the country according to both jane's defense weekly and the institute of strategic studies israel's estimated to have two hundred to three hundred nuclear warheads all sixteen u.s. intelligence agencies admit iran is not even trying to build one you know it's middle east pub quiz syndicated charlie reese no just simple facts you'd be sure of iran if you relied on mainstream media and they actually applied to israel.

fairness and accuracy in reporting no it's absence of any evidence against iran mainstream media are now resorting to stone the shingly crude racist slurs they'd never dare prints about jews currently being printed in all seriousness about the entire peoples the new york times claims that iran is a land with straight talk and virtua not widely seen to overlap potions lie like a rug smokes the washington post journalist a new yorker contributes a joan sure says we shouldn't be surprised he found throughout history when officials need the public's support for bomb provoke brutality against weak a victim they say there's just something fishy about the whole race thanks chief richard helms claim to congress that unlike quote asiatics and eastern europeans americans already used to tell the truth when india refused to join the us in

foreign pakistan president nixon said it was because all in. just slippery treacherous people james today wrote like slavery should remain in place as african nations are coming and jews various altar fifties and pretexts and native indians naturally given to treachery israel's defense minister says palestinians don't suffer from the problem of telling lies its exists in judea christian culture but the top and rainy and smear claimed in today's us mainstream is buzz all trickery c.n.n. concludes the us their own deal must be a trick in the spirit of the poser and. the new york times solemnly concludes obama must have been out negotiated in the persian nuclear buzz off believing foreigners is an ancient potion form insists the washington post even the economist magazine which usually supported u.s. bombing campaigns from libya to syria and iraq is going

a bit far. have any of these people try to negotiate with say mitch mcconnell somebody has got to put a stop to this whole persian bizarre rhetorical think station it's ridiculous it's absolutely offensive and it should tire purpose is to serve as a smokescreen for disastrously bile in the policies backed by mother dressed in israel and neoconservatives in america we keep pedia is the key battle field in this war the telegraph for polls israel will be is building quote oh mees of rewrite the history books such as this all tickle and what palestinians fled israel these leaked e-mails expose the low beast plans including infiltration of wikis administrators. make relationships with we could pedia editors and super editors known as administrators after we have built our army we will go to war so with asia times correspondent pepe escobar it's great to see how to explain these coordinated

campaign is denigrating an entire ethnic. group obviously they are being case working for the israeli lobby big by their agents and us it is very easy to identify these people especially us pastry media you know the usual call of lists for washington polls or our usual people who write op ed pages for the wall street journal fox news that goes without saying could that deal show israel's low sperm so america is getting fed up with its behavior it's the first time debt an american administration is exactly taking first of all u.s. national interests and not trying to do something that would be the israeli force sold this is also a real game changer in terms of u.s. israeli relations when president obama was cool with his mike switched on agreeing he can stand quote lawyer been your minutes and your proposed a.b.c. news there were already signs israel's losing support from the us kind of state to

set up the summit help. reduce america's public censure against israel's occupation of the west bank notes n.b.c. breaks decades of fishel tacit approval so prime minister netanyahu has claimed he can move the united states any direction he likes no longer seems quite as kosher. what defines a country's success. faceless figures of economic growth. for a factual standard of living.
