we're here to provide a safe and secure environment for everybody. the questions the appeals just get everything you needed. seventy six hours of intense fighting. six thousand days. of beach front battlefields several kilometers long. and now there is only one person who cares. you see we are surrounded by garbage everywhere but also there are. on this beach which of course is where most appropriate signification a symbol of everything that's wrong with our goddamn government allowing not only garbage but to accumulate where so many guys died. a new battle is going on. will the history be protected. return

to terra what julian cooper story on our t.v. . the greek economic crisis cost us a southerner of the future of the e.u. and the bureau's forcing of be thinking they should be desperate to join up. decentralizing power and stifling corruption go for spite me to may day to fear at the international economic forum in st petersburg join me at least an hour for more details in just a moment. the e.u. plans a third set of tougher sanctions against syria some experts want to pave the way for it to be a start intervention. bleak future for chinese politics not do it as an increase in the universe it's in the abyss paul says but the job. and tonight

with the and try. from moscow welcome to the program greece's new finance minister is getting down to work by describing his job as a real war he needs to convince angry greeks to face more austerity cuts to secure bailout billions from europe but the countries like turkey have been trying to become part of the e.u. for years the financial woes are slowly weakening there is of to join up with the r.t.c. tom barton reports. if you talked about turkey in the e.u. ten years ago turkey's hopes of joining would have been inseparable from joining the euro not anymore turkey's attitude in short can be summed up very simply. part of the euro right now took on the street 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 need them. to fish people are using the year as an investment to earn money here is a more reliable and turkish money people don't want to save their money in the euro . few invest in euros you get more than leave the euro is also stronger than dollars having said that i don't want to risk investing. but academics analyzing public opinion have found a common logic in decisions about the euro people polled don't care about wider economics but about their own personal finances. economy is actually beyond the important factors that make euro skeptic or euro file the public opinion 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 take into account the freedom of movement of labor the freedom of service you know service these are all integrated any other so it's not only you know exchange of money or turks living. here all 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 it sound others economic disasters have meant appeals for bailouts this makes it difficult for national governments to defend. personally pouring more money into the coffers of irresponsible or inefficient members within creasing tension in the you are economic mismanagement some for c.

big problems ahead because army corp. based on a single currency in europe. is. going to be history in the near future meaning that turkey will likely remain an independent trader to some time to come turkey's markets are famous to tourists and traders alike taking that mercantile spirit to europe one seemed like a good idea but with all the riches here and not in europe no longer seems like such a profitable move tom barton r.t. istanbul turkey. or the governments of france and germany one to any new bad out package for greece agreed upon as soon as possible but yourself your fate and it of german newspaper design it says it's now impossible for athens to avoid a default on its debts. those european nations that are not the you're the mushroom are much more because there's the right thing drawing to your 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 this is them but if you want to be truly cool economically you know. things like an economist i think us trust the best solution because. once you're out you can. devalue and once you can do that once your value you can retain your competitiveness on the international market does that after all it was the example of argentina which broke out of the monetary union with the us dollar and the beauty of. the states dominant role in the russian economy and corruption

threatening the nation's development as it has been outlining his vision of the future at the same petersburg international economic forum he says major political will is needed to force an overhaul parties and it's not always that he's been event. but there are certainly a lot of obstacles and president medvedev knows that became very clear and has for real with his hometown as president that 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 to what he had to say about modernization of the process and it's because . at the studio my choice is not only a major green you'll have outdated elements in the economy but all public institutions used we need to hesitate to say sorry about many bad habits we can focus only on the step by step development machine that would be a mistake would be which we should focus on the following improvement over to be investment climate in russia to create new jobs in the regions creation of police

and other security forces improvement of the effectiveness of the jurisdiction system and finally the modernization of government applying modern approaches in the centralizing power which 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 and the president clearly wants to fight it this is the morning he had asked himself that are corrupt. the noose around the neck of those who practice corruption should be coincident 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 for that purpose we should enhance the way those suspected of corruption or it's not dismissed from public service he will continue our coverage as the world's modern innovator as this executive world leaders gather to face the

challenges facing the modern world and what's out. there today a special edition of ati's on the money where people are valid talks to people attending this form about what lies ahead for business in russia. sixteen more people have been killed in syria as bus protests continue the e.u. is planning a third round of sanctions against the regime of president. its deadly crackdown on demonstrations but antiwar activist brian becker says the sanctions are the first step towards a wider intervention the e.u. if it adopts these new sanctions the third wave of sanctions there incrementally ask a lady in the u.s. and western european intervention into syria i think that we're going down the road as we when libya where one step leads to another step there climbing the escalation

ladder they have a very sort of selective concern for the lives of protesters and democracy movements or movements that call themselves democracy movements you take bahrain they're they're they're condoning the crackdown on peaceful protesters i think what's really happening is that syria syria has been targeted by the united states and also in principally by. france and the u.k. for regime change and i think they see this growing protest movement in the possible slippage of the country in the direction of civil war as an opportunity to overthrow what has been considered to be independent government in syria or middle east expert and blogger told r.t. that america's policies in the region of its priority to be geopolitical interests rather than the interests of the public. all the talk of exporting democracy and

all that sort of preaching rest of the world i find is highly inconsistent and is hypocritical and in the case of syria in particular i think the u.s. is caught between wanting to be active but at same time mortified by what the alternative would be and syria which in my view is completely unjustified it's not necessarily going to turn into a fundamentalist islamic state or anything like that what we are seeing there are really for freedom and democracy and. why it could have been if you like played a more consistent role in foreign policy hasn't done. also any sort of intervention there were doing which is based purely on this desire for stability is bound to be counterproductive. what i meant fear is in the u.s. victory intervention in syria has been asking people on the streets of new york what they think about america's ongoing wars. you know there was an arab spring

maybe america will have its own spring. wide range of opinions in the residence which is coming away that's the sound also ahead. this russian orthodox church has wandered far from its home i'm sean thomas in antarctica and coming up on r.t. we explore the world of the southern most the russian orthodox church. more than a month. in one of the most extreme environments on the planet this is antarctica and people have to be aware that they're far away from civilization sean thomas discovers flight makes us so special and attractive for many the wildlife in antarctica is a boat and the sun's an. expedition to the bottom of the

china's double digit growth rate in the financial crisis has been the envy of the world yet many chinese are still not reaping the rewards of the economic boom that includes the millions of graduates entering the workforce each year becoming part of a phenomenon called tribes as many more to expect. despite the global slowdown china's economy is booming and 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 graduates often end 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 he shares a twenty square meter room with five other graduates in a former 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. my parents 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 now though 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 nine hundred eighty two when the government began to seriously look at expanding 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. at that for on the one hand chinese universities are already in a weak state we need them weaker with an over rapid expansion so the education received by many of today's graduates has been very poor on the other we have a whole generation who are used to having everything going for them you cannot do anything for themselves who's going to give people like this work. with reports of rioting taking 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. involvement in nato is campaigning there has just two days left for

a ninety day they met on reaction without congress' approval runs out lawmakers are demanding president obama comply with the constitution so the resident hit the streets of new york to find out what people there think of the growing u.s. military presence around the world. we're number one in the world or we can us a house to show the world we can still do it even though you're going to be some of the best we can have we can still do it why is that so important to be number one has to be the house would be one no one better think about. the americans as being some kind of. world police you know you think about us dick yes you don't think there's any altieri motive no none at all no oil interests no economic interests no 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 this is maybe another reason that we're doing it one reason only or. 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. and 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 don't 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 anytime soon. some of the news from around the world the south. new wave of flooding in china has killed more than a hundred people forced at least half a million others to flee central and southern areas of the country are on the

highest state of the school didn't you know that. with western news was caused by torrential rains with weather forecasters predicting a two week. u.n. secretary general is set for a second five year term receiving strong backing from the fine print veto holding members of the security council and even bases in a lot of battles in reelected by the general assembly room tuesday the south korean the us pushed through a number of vital reforms in the areas of climate change and nuclear disarmament is also supported pro-democracy movements in the middle east and north africa. now we continue our journey to the coldest continent on earth on toxic you can imagine dealing with a fierce climate leaves little time for religion but all it is shown thomas found out that isn't the case during a visit to the southernmost russian orthodox church the planet. perched

atop a picture ask a rocky hill overlooking the sea so it's a typical and a tiny russian orthodox church so this scene looks like it could be taken right out of a siberian picture book think again. at the words 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 here was not an easy operation. in two thousand and two they built the 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 a staff of two specially trained monks 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 strong tight walls and special chang's sometimes the rain here comes out as horizontally with the wind so that the water is coming through the cracks but also it 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 boudin a russian architectural tradition. more than just a popular tourist destination the building station on george island is a gem of the russian orthodox church and it's a fully functioning facility even performing rare matrimonial honors for those. of michelle lunde. i came here for a long stay sixteen months and i had no idea that there was

a church in russia 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 atlanta was still in russia i got the idea why not have our wedding in this church. one of only two couples to have get 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 delegation is secondary but 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 the continent and according to the russian orthodoxy it is 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 a church here means a godly presence in antarctica. a presence that they hope will last for generations to come in antarctica sean thomas. we need now one of the coldest environments on the planet to russia's tourist hot spot our special report takes you to the poll of the country's results the black sea quite pretty.

well. you can see that in about an hour's time here in l.t. so now as the u.s. economy groans under the weight of its debt burden unemployment rates the soaring means that in cities like chicago it's boom time for crime hunger and drug dealers with the census in check and i want to take a look. chicago at first glance a picture perfect city. but what happens with a sneak peek behind a facade and a flip of this postcard the gap between the rich and poor in chicago is extremely visible well off neighborhoods such as this one are just

a hop and skip away from places where struggle is dense in the atmosphere. this is one of the most dangerous neighborhoods in chicago filled with countless streets like this one where rows and rows of devastated homes hold thousands of people for whom every single day is a struggle. doesn't live here is whole most people think that is all of chicago and that's gorgeous chicago but there is still an eighty five percent of the city that they haven't seen. born and raised in chicago sought to work several jobs to keep up the city falling to its knees is a personal pain for him and this is a neighborhood that was full of factories and industry and once industry died so did this neighborhood a pattern seen in much of illinois in the last decade over two hundred thousand jobs in manufacturing went down the drain life is especially tough for chicago's black community with one in three african-american men in their early twenty's

unemployed men like chris. overall african-american joblessness in chicago is over twenty percent more than twice the white rate there's no jobs you know i don't care what any education you get some people just don't have to camp. and it's. over on the other side of the tracks with a lot of drugs and a lot of people turn to drugs a lot of a lot of people turn to selling drugs locals explain it's done here to get by robbery is also at a peak and go. on good morning. anyway. for many it's. vicious circle. having paid for his crimes six months out of jail darryl batts is back where he started fighting for a job but the government is. just a simple. lip service that's what they. say and they say one

thing when. it's not the what is their heroin use and record high binge drinking chicago holds the top spot in the u.s. . food pantries are working nonstop as hunger intensifies but supplies are short my goodness it's almost to the point where as unexplainable what is such. an increase of the manner of food for hunger in chicago because of the economy being the way it is the number of families living in poverty now stands at in the standing forty five percent almost half the population many of those going hungry are kids one in three children in chicago are said to live below the poverty line i'm quite sure there are homeless children ability you know i suppose i guess. if they are over the last year in common rates here have dropped by more than ten percent making it harder for entire generations of families to stay afloat more embarrassed or you

know too proud to speak about it is start from the kids and it goes all the way up to our seniors you know and they have the same issues from young to old the hometown of the american president is filled with sorrow that's already too deep to ignore. our t. chicago illinois. but a recap of the headlines is coming your way in that just a few minutes to. the.
