8:02 am
suggests suffocating austerity measures such as more taxes and a four year privatization program if the greeks fail to tighten their belts a place being cut off from vital european aid worth hundreds of billions of euros parties so first she's in athens and will bring us updates later this. hour one of more analysis on the situation the scorching things to flare up again in greece let's talk to. a comic analyst and an international lawyer good to see you and so what does the new bail out mean for the people of greece and why is there such fear and anger being shown on the streets of me as we've seen here well the fear and anger isn't just about this current bailout that's being discussed it's been seething for a very long time great survey disappointed with their political system over the last forty years with the fact that they hadn't been told the truth for a very long time now for the last eight years rates of being told that we have growth rates of four percent a year but what they hadn't been told was that the national going on second state
8:03 am
saying so other than just the obvious trigger of austerity you had a plan to increase taxes. of about six point five billion for this year alone and of the twenty three billion into twenty fifteen plus a fifty billion privatization program there is more than enough on happiness to go around i've just been seeing in the pictures we've been showing here on our t.v. this looks like chaos and pandemonium on the streets of the greek capital while we are getting reports from our correspondent in the region of a group of extremists have provoked the police into their aggressive response today with the tear gas and violence if this is the case if it is down to a group of extremists what they have to achieve what are they doing here. well been not really trying to achieve anything different than what they normally it's not unusual for some of these gatherings to be infiltrated when we have a twenty four hour generous. stright when you say that there are scenes of chaos
8:04 am
and pandemonium i would say that that is probably quite selective on the whole most of the protesters at sandakan are nonparty political and very nonviolent there's a lot of families with children there's a lot of elderly pensioners there's a lot of very ordinary people who are very concerned about the direction that the country is going in so the concern ranges across a broad spectrum a broad demographic as you're saying what will the new bailout help greece recover or will it just help it to sink deeper in debt do you think. well let's face facts you told someone who is there by giving them even more direct now what seems to be happening here is a massive transfer of wealth we're getting a transfer from people across europe paying taxes lending it to the great taxpayer plus interest who is then sending it all off to the placement banks hedge funds
8:05 am
pension funds who rule a little bit too silly to lend to greece at a time when i thought all of the eurozone sovereign risk was exactly the same so will it hold greece only to the extent that it will prevent a chaotic default at this point in time it will help keep our banks afloat and it will help keep our pension system afloat for the time being so are you saying are you saying that billions are injected as well as another bailout are you saying that it's just going to line the pockets of the fat cats because the crisis in the first place and it won't do anything beneficial for the economy as a whole just going to the banks and the elite. not the sense of this bailout money actually comes into the greek economy it all goes out into interest payments and repayments of bonds that are coming due. but that's that's a scary news indeed some are drawing a greeks deep unhappiness with the government to the situation in the arab countries do you think might the economic anger spill over into them throwing out
8:06 am
their leaders have they had enough what they like what they want to just sack the government officials. i think that there are many in these protest movements that would like to see a completely new political system with fresh faces and no one beholding to powerful interests inside and outside the country there are some parallels that can be drawn with the arab spring yes i would say that's true all right and it's records off economic analyst and international lawyer live from athens thank you you thank. while greeks make their anger known about facing further cuts germans are no less furious about having to pay for it again later this hour german and p. klaus says that why that's why e.u. countries should take responsibility for themselves. when the treaty is. related to that there must be any bailout because. otherwise
8:07 am
you. you will. ruin the happily finances of those countries who are contributing to it. as long as each country is responsible for its match it has to take full responsibility and the only right answer to that is you'll be about. it without a live from moscow is going to join us today and i still to come for you in the program here egypt's freedom of press the country's military rulers power over the revolution that toppled president mubarak made allegations of army abuses it's not much anger among citizens. u.s. missile defense plans for europe have suffered a major setback prague is now refusing to take part in the system check official
8:08 am
say they're not happy with a minor role that washington offered to them their public was originally supposed to house a radar for the shield but the obama administration offered prague less important facilities u.s. missile shield plans have met with stiff opposition from moscow but the kremlin saying it feels the system may be aimed against russia washington claims the shield is designed to protect from so-called rogue states president medvedev offered to create a joint european missile defense system with nato and the u.s. but moscow claims its western partners are reluctant to cooperate and are pushing ahead with their own plans. but asian countries including china and russia are meeting other regional leaders right now to tackle the raft of economic and security issues which face them this time they're also joined by iran and afghanistan where the talks on doubt will be focusing on the areas need to fight terrorism. reports from the start. all the leaders that were here that had given statements did to stress the importance of tackling security regional and
8:09 am
international together they did release a statement which echoes what they've all been saying in the past on the situation in north africa and the middle east specifically in libya they had again called for the international community and those involved in the conflict there to a strictly adhere to the un resolution one nine hundred seventy three and one nine hundred seventy. four for furthering the conflict that's going on there and with regard to syria foreign minister sergei lavrov issued a separate statement on that saying that russia's position has not changed and that they are against a resolution on syria for any military involvement in that area now with regard to regional security some of the countries china for instance has expressed that it is worried that there are still growing separatism in extremism in their country and other countries have expressed that as well and therefore they would like to carry on the counterterrorism efforts and even expand it not just to tackle the traditional threats of they've seen over the years but also to bring it to the internet to cyberspace to be they were calling on that ebor to an isa curity idea
8:10 am
they are now of course again as you said earlier the process of again is said here certainly has brought it to the front line of the security in afghanistan is key to the regional security afghanistan so nato a future has been repeated over and over here some of the nations have expressed doubts in the past as to whether i've got a seven is really ready to handle the situation on its own however today president hamid karzai had said that of ganesan is willing to take that responsibility and that they are ready when nato troops are withdrawn expectedly in the twenty fourth and one other issue in a get a set is that drugs. is a big issue for russia on the table for some time now because ninety percent of the drugs in russia does come from afghanistan and again having karzai has stressed he understands that he needs to work together with his partners and. has stressed. again how important this is for if you listen to what he has to say. afghanistan.
8:11 am
which. is a country with the impact. another state maybe a c.e.o. has made is that a unilateral missile defense system unilateral meaning just by one country or by one group is certainly going to be a threat to international security and also they are calling on their members to adhere to the nuclear nonproliferation treaty interestingly enough iran to be here makes for interesting discussion as you know iran has a controversial nuclear program so this requirement of adhering to the nonproliferation treaty would be part of that requirement to join as a member of the c.e.o. and iran certainly is looking for membership so it's interesting to see what will
8:12 am
be said on this matter from both sides from the a c.e.o. and iran and other countries that are seeking to or joint b.s.u. president medvedev and whatever did it out of iran meeting on the sidelines and expectedly to talk that agenda is the a controversial nuclear program as well as a bilateral agreements on how to tackle the threats that they face both terrorism and separatist issues so we're looking forward to a conversation is that he agreements concrete agreement will come out of that also president of that it will be meeting with afghanistan's have a car site separately and we expect that the broad topics of being brought up in the plenary session will again be brought up drugs topping the agenda as well as the big investments that russia is planning to bring into the country because russia is is keen on helping afghanistan or through the problems that they will be facing one study continue the efforts of rebuilding the country. saucily reporting right there we are keeping a close eye on the asian summit with regular updates of the daughter from among the
8:13 am
analysis there now pakistan and make some moves to become an active member of the shanghai group after its friendship with the united states grows cold also online. a supernova spectacle in the heart of moscow as the capital's planetarium finally relaunches after years of refurbishment take a look around in our gallery. without the light from moscow now the west is weighing in so yemen's ongoing unrest with gotta be force officials in the troubled country say u.s. drone strikes have killed over one hundred people including civilians over the past two weeks now the u.k. is preparing attack helicopters and commando squads for possible action in iraq live now to our teams are more and more details on these end up lower it's all
8:14 am
starting to resemble the military intervention in libya isnt it. it's a sort of drip drip of practice and it's slowly slowly but general escalation over involvement in what's going on in yemen and as you say the latest reports that we're hearing or according to the daily telegraph newspaper who say that apache helicopters may be deployed on ships which is stationed at a moment just off the yemeni coast we see also reports coming out of the apache training base in the u.k. where the trainees there are saying much of yemen all mysteriously appearing on the computer systems that they use for training so that's a little bit strange and also we're hearing reports that a senior u.k. helicopter has made a week. of reconnaissance trip to you have been just to see what the situation is like on the ground now these helicopters all said to be to be possibly being put in place in order to extract the mats and other british citizens who have chosen to
8:15 am
stay in yemen. who may become stranded if this boy saying rest in the country gets worse the apaches to essentially marshal groups of other helicopters which are transport helicopters. and visit is that they will go. in an area pick up at the most another push distance and then get them out with the protection of helicopters but. as we've seen them in in general. in iraq and in afghanistan and of course most recently in libya where involvement was seen as a mox escalation in the involvement of u.k. and french nato troops there very low flying so the likelihood of casualties is much increased by the presence there and it does certainly look like an escalation of involvement again as we've said so many times about libya the legality this is extremely. nor is just incredible really just over the past few months western
8:16 am
military powers getting involved all over the middle east and africa it really is a huge amount of action going on when it comes to the issue of yemen why why if you were talking when it was known war on terror was and using these unmanned drones which are notorious for killing civilians in pakistan. and of course just what you just said they are becoming more and more involved saying all the time we don't want to get any more involved in the conflict in yemen any more involved in libya than we can help it any more involved in the middle east as a region as a whole but of course as you say we are seeing u.s. drone attacks increasing numbers of u.s. drone attacks in in yemen and the reasoning for that is. according to u.s. forces is taking advantage of what's going in going on that and moving into this power vacuum which is being created since president saleh left and went to saudi arabia for medical treatment moving into that hoping the activity taking advantage of general civil unrest to grab more support more power more territory that's the
8:17 am
reason for the u.s. . drone attacks that's how it's justifying it but of course that power vacuum works both ways interestingly the u.s. forces the military forces used to corporate with presence on top and when intelligence kind of those kinds of territorial issues but now the u.s. can easily say that there's no authority is with with whom to cooperate the government is essentially not in operation anymore so if they if they wanted to one would have thought that they could just go ahead and attack wherever they like and of course we've now seeing residents are gone ok the use of cia drains our cia drones will have a much wider relisten much. lection of targets that they can take in a match. that's a very interesting escalation as well so all of that means that the yemeni people will be and have good reason to be very worried drones have an extremely bad reputation for lateral damage for civilian casualties they've been used very extensively in pakistan people are always protesting about their use in pakistan
8:18 am
not just in the country itself but we see that most of those in london actually pakistanis turning out some to the streets and say that happened when president obama was visiting london we've also heard reports from except receive provincial governor in yemen saying that one hundred thirty people have been killed in drone attacks just in the last month. that many of what was it pits the innocent civilians and then of course the last thing is this secret cia base for trains that we hit. in the persian gulf region we're getting reports about. that in case the yemeni government pulls. straight attacks in the country they need a base which from which to fly is really very much more involved in terms of place the u.s. the u.k. and so what you're seeing are evident regional cautions here from the allied intervention whether you call it a humanitarian mission or a military campaign we're just getting a report here this says
8:19 am
a lot in libya the u.k. prime minister says time is on nato. operations in libya of course of course it was president obama weeks ago who said that it's an open timetable in libya the intervention continues. to wait and see how things were met life in london thank you. well other news now let's get to some worldwide headlines now a suicide car bomber has struck here in northeast afghanistan near a governor's building killing seven including police officers the taliban's admitted the attack which targeted targeted the french ambassador and a military convoy a separate attack occurred at almost the same time just south of the capital when a rocket was fired on the police training center the vice president and interior minister were there but there are no reported injuries. syria is calling on refugees who fled to turkey to return to the town they abandon after the army moved into a crush on the troops the government says it's regained control and will continue to see what it calls the remnants of terrorist groups eight thousand people left
8:20 am
the town and are now in refugee camps on the turkish border syria's endured months of brutal crackdowns on protesters to try and force the president to quit. the ash cloud from erupting the chilean volcano has grounded flights in western australia winds are carrying particles thousands of kilometers across two oceans before reaching australian airspace eruption just over two weeks ago and caused the biggest disruption to air traffic since the icelandic volcano spewed out into the sky in two thousand and ten so now let's turn our attention to greece now where police are clashing with crowds of protesters the anger is provoked by new cutbacks which the government is about to vote on sarah ferguson in athens with more on this. speculation the protests against turned violent and fortunately we did see clashes between the police and the process is just a little while ago
8:21 am
a the police are letting the take out into the crowd now is still quite you can really feel that take such a state head and syntagma square when it happened alerted people trying to clear the area that a lot of people tell that they say there was a major question that was happening a lot of people caught up in that actually is that being quite how to start is just what happened we were slightly further bad and it happened very very quickly though speaking to one protester hey he said you know the people who are involved in provoking the police what about that. i know for sure that the. so-called protesters they were black helmets and suits and they provoke the police with. throwing stuff on them and make them fight back to the real protestors and that's how the system breaks the. defense lines and they send everybody home and we don't want to send everybody home because we want to stay here and fight. territory.
8:22 am
and everything we have worked. on sisters and that's what how the they break difference that's very interesting to speak english it's a day full of the organizers from the work is the new sixty nine years it will be nice to protest today they said the same thing that until the end it isn't until they stop cases were actually passed they want these protests to be peaceful and safe out from what we've seen a happy military side this violence breaking out when you get a sixteen points they get involved insist that unfolds this trouble for the good stead the process the main bulk of the cases that they would use on how the courts that they feel like they're not received been ignored literally millions of them are turning out since this case not to have a year of dealing with incredibly tough austerity measures. the job market is appalling at sixteen percent unemployment in the great workforce those are the latest big. enough they said that this is the fault of the bankers and the
