12:02 am
very glad you're not part of the euro took on the streets seem to have a wide range of opinions on the euro but their country's doorstep europe's economy is worse now turkey says improving turkey is improving in all fields but europe is going backwards so we don't really have. to push people are using the year as an investment or earn money here is a more reliable and turkish money they push people don't want to save their money in the euro. few invest in euros you get more than euros also stronger than dollars having said that i don't want to risk investing. put academics analyzing public opinion have found a common logic and decisions about the euro people polled don't care about wider economics but about their own personal finance its. economy is absolutely beyond the important factor that make euro skeptic or euro via the public opinion
12:03 am
analysts are keen to point out that further economic integration into europe doesn't just mean money and that people shouldn't only think about their pocketbook economics they have to think and think outside the freedom of the moment of labor the freedom of service. service these are all integrated in. it's not only you know exams of many or turks leading thinkers mirena the thing. one thing everyone does agree on is the mess the eurozone is in whereas turkey's economy grew nine percent last year and over ten percent in the first quarter of this year europe especially southern europe has come to the point of catastrophe because of excessive borrowing greece has so far been the worst hit if so and others economic disasters have meant appeals for bailouts this makes it difficult for national governments to defend. constantly pouring more money into the coffers of

12:05 am
if they did the right thing probably or there's no way we can avoid a default it will have to be done. with by the european community everybody together if the greeks leave. that is like you know a lot stronger mind. read your way into the system but if you want to be truly cool the economic you know. the truth like an economist i think a stress test solution because. once you know. draw you and once you can do once in your value you can regain your composure if only international market this after all is the example of the courage and she never bridge broke out of the monetary union with the u.s. dollar and it will be. the state's dominant role in the russian

economy and corruption threatening nations development as has been outlining his vision of an international economic or he says major political will is needed to force an overhaul. but there are certainly a lot of obstacles and president medvedev knows that became very clear and has for real with his own time as president but he thinks modernization is the way to go into the future with russia he clearly outlined all of the obstacles that the country is facing first let's take a listen i what he had to say about modernization. and it's called. if a serious choice is not only a major green you'll have outdated elements in the economy that will probably institutionalised we need to hesitate to say sorry about many bad habits we call focus only on the step by step development question that would be
12:07 am
a mistake which we should focus on the following improvement over to be investment climate in russia to create new jobs in the regions the creation of police and other security forces this improvement of the effectiveness of the jurisdiction system and finally the modernization of government employing modern approaches to the centralizing power. of course one of those bad habits so to say as the president phrased it that he was talking about was corruption it's no secret that corruption is widespread unless of course in many other emerging economies it's widespread as well the president clearly wants to fight it this is the warning he have for us in the cells that are. going to loose around the neck of those who practice corruption should be told it's in and the whole of russia agrees with this without exception which corruption is very difficult to do with the government should be purged of corruption in a more decisive way by young for that purpose we should enhance the way those suspected of corruption or dismissed from public service he will continue our

and western european intervention into syria i think that we're going down the road as we went in libya where one step leads to another step there climbing the escalation letter they have a very sort of selective concern for the lives of protesters and democracy movements are movements they call themselves democracy movements you take bahrain they're they're they're condoning the crackdown on peaceful protesters but i think what's really happening is that syria and syria has been targeted by the united states and also in principle lead by. france and the u.k. for regime change and i think they see this growing protest movement in the possible slippage of a country in the direction of civil war as an opportunity to overthrow what has been considered to be an independent government in syria a middle east expert and blogger told r.t. that america's policies in the region have since priority to be geopolitical interests rather than interests of the public. all the local for exporting
12:10 am
democracy and all that sort of preaching to the rest of the world i find is highly inconsistent and it's hypocritical and in the case of syria in particular i think the us is caught between wanting to be active but at same time mortified by what the alternative would be in syria which in my view is completely unjustified it's not necessarily going to turn into a fundamentalist islamic states or anything like that what we are seeing there are really for freedom and democracy and the u.s. was. if you like played a more consistent role in foreign policy hasn't but also any sort of intervention there were doing which is based purely on this desire for stability is to be counterproductive. me between factions

china's double digit growth rates during the financial crisis has been the envy of the world yet many chinese are still not reaping the rewards of an economic boom that includes the millions of graduates central work force each year becoming a part of a phenomenon called and choice as in the most expensive. despite the global slowdown china's economy is booming and its cities are expanding at a seemingly unstoppable pace as people look to leave their poor rural backgrounds behind in search of the chinese economic miracle and one of the largest groups of people currently moving into china cities are university graduates like those from this campus in downtown beijing however many are arriving to find their degrees are virtually worthless and the streets are paved with anything but gold these
12:14 am
graduates often ends up living in the most basic and squalid of conditions and forced to do menial jobs sociologists have dubbed them the ant tribes and there are thought to be more than one hundred thousand living in beijing alone in june chin is one such and she shares a twenty square meter room with five other graduates in a formal workers' dormitory in the north of beijing washing and toilet facilities are shared and there is nowhere for them to cook but it's not just the ants that are suffering for my appearance and sister went through a lot of hardship to save the money that put me through university i studied hard and did part time jobs to support myself no thought all i can find is unskilled part time work so i really feel like i'm letting them down. part of the problem is that there are simply too many university graduates now entering the system in one thousand ninety eight so when the government began to seriously look at expanding
12:15 am
higher education chinese universities were producing eight hundred thirty thousand graduates a year in two thousand and ten but number was six million and it's still growing. on the one hand chinese universities are already in a weak state we need an weaker with an over rapid expansion so the education received by many of today's graduates has been very cool. we have a whole generation who are used to having everything done for them and cannot do anything for themselves he's going to give people like this work. with reports of rising taken place in some tribal areas the government is now looking to take action measures being discussed include limiting residents permits to skilled professionals and introducing electronic id cards for outsiders without a stable job however with the number of graduates entering the workforce set to continue rising there seems little hope in sight for china's and tribes and remorse and r.t. beijing u.s.

12:17 am
economic interest no i don't know what do we want to accomplish that. just the safety of the people to which the money and the lives of the young people you know did you think there's maybe another reason for doing it and one reason only or whatever reason i don't think it's logical i don't think it makes any sense but i think there's a big disconnect between what people in government are thinking and what they think we want and what we're letting them know that we once. maybe our priorities just aren't the same so you have all these countries in the middle east where the people are standing up against their government why aren't people in the u.s. standing up against their government saying hey bring our troops home i'd like to think that one day that will happen you know there was an arab spring maybe the america will have its own spring no matter how you feel about the imperialism of the united states the bottom line is let's face it it's not going to stop any time step. around the world. the wave of flooding in china has killed more than

isn't the case during a visit to the southernmost russian orthodox church and it. perched atop a picturesque a rocky hill overlooking the sea so it's a typical in a tiny russian orthodox church so this scene looks like it could be taken right out of a siberian picture book think again. that the world this is important so far this is the only antarctic station that has a russian orthodox church. in fact the trinity church is the southernmost russian orthodox church on the planet and getting it was not an easy operation there. in two thousand and two they built a temple from the cedar tree and the church was built and it sat there for a while until the end of two thousand and three they numbered all the parts every beam was disassembled and they transported it to kaliningrad from there it was shipped all the way here to antarctica since feb fifteenth two thousand and four the church has been officially up and running with the orthodox church providing
12:20 am
a staff of two specially trained months each year but given the extreme climate in which they operate they face extreme challenges as well. because the conditions in antarctica are unusual with strong winds we need to hold back the power of the wind with such strong tight walls and special chang's sometimes the rain here comes out as horizontally with the wind so that the water is not is coming through the cracks but also we can climb up which to leak inside. now trinity church has become a sort of antarctica landmark even becoming somewhat of a tourist destination for v.i.p.'s and diplomats. no matter who visits this church they always say it's beautiful it's a remarkable church made out of wood in a russian architectural tradition. more than just a popular tourist destination the building. i own is a gem of the russian orthodox church and it's a fully functioning priscilla any woman performing rare matrimonial arter that for
12:21 am
those like me. michelle and. i came here for a long stay sixteen months and i had no idea that there was a church and rush hour. i was not a frequent visitor to church but here somehow i started to be before i left russia i promise atlanta that i'll bring her here i was not sure how but i promised that i would whilst it while i was still in russia i got the idea why not have our wedding in this church. one or one of only two couples who have been married here trinity making their marriage a part of antarctic history. it's a very good feeling but in reality you don't think that you belong to some exclusive circle because for me at least the most important thing is the marriage itself and the occasion is secondary and i like this church very much it is very comfortable and you feel very special here the russian tradition in antarctica goes back to the very discovery of all time and according to the russian orthodoxy it is
12:22 am
only fitting that there is an official testament to that history of. this church just by its presence speaks volumes for every person not just russian but even for foreigners the presence of the church here means a godly presence in antarctica. a presence that they hope will last for generations to come in antarctica seans minus. one of the coldest environments on the planet so russia's tourist hot spots our special report takes you to the poll of countries results at baxi quick break.
