revision downward, slow-growth than expected, higher deficit than predicted. and public finances that are not in particular good condition. and that is pretty much true the world over. >> the world economy still seems to be considering its response to last week's european summit to save the euro. they agreed to the brussels accord at the summit. eu members, but non-eurozone countries, the czech republic and hungary, appeared to rock the boat summit, backtracking on, and tax policy, at least. >> we do not want to give up the results of independent hungarian tax policy that has made the hungarian economy competitive. when we negotiate with the years on countries, we will make it very clear that this will be a key issue for the hon.

that the talks. in hungary, the parliament has to agree to the eu's plans. the conservatives have a comfortable majority there. >> back over to brian. >> germany's coalition government has survived a vote that could have spelled its end. chancellor merkel's junior partners, the free democrats, have backed the coalition's your crisis policy in a corporate ballot of grassroots members. a group of euro skeptics party rebels forced that ballot or the permanent bailout fund for eurozone, which is due to come into force next year. >> he is survived the vote, but philipp roesler was clearly showing the strain of the last few days. the fdp leader's handling of the crisis now has the backing of party members. the rebel's attempt to derail the bailout plan has failed. >> the fdp is and will remain a

pro-european party, one with the necessary degree of regulatory sense. >> but there were some hitches. more than 2,000 ballots were declared invalid. leadership was accused of deliberately complicating the voting system to discourage participation. the with the referendum over, the leader of the rebels offered some conciliatory words. >> i want to do my bit to make sure the rifts in the party are mended. lme this personal note. so glad it is over, and i am looking forward to christmas. >> philipp roesler arkansas will also be looking forward to the seasonal break -- will also be looking forward to the seasonal rate, before his next test at the annual conference in early january. >> are political correspondent, and young, has been following the story. we asked how important this vote was for the fdp and the german government as a whole.

>> well, it was very important, because a different result could have triggered a split in the government over this key question of how to rescue the euro. of course, philipp roesler has got the best result i think that he could have hoped for. it means he does not have to choose between his own policy and the opinions of his party membership. he has got a relatively clear vote in favor of his position. that means that the fdp's support for the esn bailout mechanism that was agreed at their party congress earlier this year stays in place, and that of course, in turn, is good news for angela merkel. in the intergovernment stays intact. >> some good news at last for philipp roesler. he needs it after the last few months. will this strengthen his position? >> well, he is not out of the woods yet. there has been a lot of criticism over this whole ballot

procedure, particularly over the fact that philipp roesler himself said the intent to change the party's policy had failed even a few days ago while this ballot was still going on. it seemed he was prepared to ignore the opinion of his party membership. there have been criticisms of his leadership of the party more widely. he has yet to find an issue that really galvanizes the fdp itself, let alone the country more generally. there have been calls for him to go, particularly in recent days. if poll numbers and election results do not get a lot better quite soon, i think those calls for philipp roesler to go will continue. >> thank you so very much. some soccer now. in the draw for the champions league roundup 16, a former germany defender big and easy opponent from his old team, munich, pairing them with fc basil. but another team will be facing

fc barcelona. here is a look. moscow-based the spanish giants. milan battles that out against arsenal. and this team will battle is chances against the outsiders. st. petersburg faces this team. the first leg of the knockouts. hanover will host the team at home. people here in germany are battening down the hatches as a major storm sweeps in from the west with winds reaching 130 kilometers per hour. the system has brought traffic to a standstill on roads in the mountains. authorities are warning residents across central germany to prepare for more strong winds, heavy snowfall, and some flooding. earlier the storm battered france, causing a cargo ship to

of yemen is set to leave office. and did not forget syria, a sock's power appears to be weakening. the arab spring is far from over, even in tunisia. we went back to where it all began and found that life there is still not easy. >> the day begins in a typically tunisia and way, with demonstrators blocking a road. the demonstrators are taxi drivers, protesting agains corruption among civil servants at their local authority. they say is impossible to get a taxi license without paying bribes to officials, and they are furious. >> my son is unemployed, and my wife is seriously ill. i have been through so much, and the one has to pay bribes to more bribes, to get our licenses. -- if they want us to pay bribes. >> the police arrive and end the

blockade, for now. and we can continue our journey. this is our first impression of the public mood at the moment in tunisia. some 250 kilometers south of the capital tunsi, it was here exactly one year ago that a young educated man, mohammed bouazizi, set fire to himself to protest against local corruption and the lack of jobs aspects -- prospects. that happened on december 17, 2010, it triggered the jazzman revolution and the pro-democracy movements of the arab spring. -- richard the jasmin revolution. he still offered at this market to help support his family. but the traders here suffered

constant police harassment. therefore it was confiscated and only released in exchange for bribes. when that happened to mohammed a year ago, it was the last straw for the young man. >> they confiscated his fruit. he went to the town hall and asked tuesday to the mayor, but they did not let him in. nobody would speak to them. >> he then doused himself in petrol. he said he only wanted to make a gesture, but suddenly he was engulfed in flames. hamami was there when it happened. he has a computer science degree, but he has been unemployed for years. >> we protests -- we protested. we demanded the rights bouazizi demanded. we demanded jobs, freedom, and

national honor. >> market traders say things have gotten little better. they cannot sell their fruit here without fear of police harassment. but it's a little else is changed in tunisia since the revolution, and their lives have not got easier. there are demonstrations here every day. people distribute fliers demanding jobs. there are simply no opportunities for young people. these five young men are desperate. there on a hunger strike. his condition is serious. his kidneys had failed. the engineering graduate has been unemployed for six years now. >> my family is very poor. none of us has a job. we tried tuesday to the people in charge in the region but did not get an answer -- we tried to speak to the people in charge. we do not know what to do. our only hope is this strike. >> the protesters have been ignored for 16 days. the media has not reported on their hunger strike.

no local authority representatives of start -- have turned up tuesday to them. >> they spend their time arguing about things that have nothing to do the ordinary tunisians, the ones who went out to protest against hunger, injustice, corruption, and unemployment. they want as to forget about those important problems and spend their time discussing it irrelevant things, like religious dress codes. >> the reactionary interim government has deliberately ignored this area. they have not done anything to help develop sis bouzid codis surrounding area. they only care about the cities. they're not interested in the protests taking place here. during the whole 10 months, the interim government has been in charge, nothing has happened, nothing has changed. >> they believe that is because

the old officials have kept their posts at local authorities. the young man said the politicians in the capital have not replaced the officials and have no interest in doing so. they do not believe anything will change under the newly elected president. he and his companions said it will continue their hunger strike until something is done, and they are prepared to make the ultimate sacrifice. unemployment in this region is over 60%. the situation has not improved since the revolution. the land is a baron. it supports nothing more than a few olive trees and sheep. all engines to settle industry urs services here have failed because of corruption and cronyism at the local authorities. that, too, has not changed since the revolution.

tunisia is stuck somewhere between its past and its future. the new constitutional assembly has not even begun rewriting the country's basic law, although it was elected in october. but the change needs time. we traveled to tunis, to meet the mother of bouazizi, the man his death became a symbol of the revolution. she moved to the capital after the death of her son. in sidi bouzid, she received insults and threats. people accused her of profiting and probably from her son's actions. he said that is not true. since her son died, she has relied on a family member to provide for her and family. she also says she misses her home in sidi bouzid. >> my region, my home, was the torch of the revolution. i am proud of that. i am proud of the people. everyone is proud of sidi

bouzid. >> it has been a difficult year for her. she has hardly had time to grieve for her son, but she wants to make sure that no one forgets what muhammed died, and she of the revolution will take a positive turn. >> i hope the newly elected politicians will do their best and respect their duties. and i hope the tunisian people will be more patient and calm down. >> for us, the day ends as it began, with protesters blocking our way. it is that taxi drivers again, and it looks like we're in for a long night. but they say however longd the nighthoweverawn will break, and perhaps the new dawn will bring

a bright new future for tunisia. >> and that is our "in depth" journey to the place where the air a revolution all began. thank you so much for joining us. ♪ ♪
