a wide range of opinions on the euro but their countries doorstep europe's economy is worse now turkey says improving turkey is improving in all fields but europe is going backwards say we don't really have. to push people are using the euro is 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 or get more than lira 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 actually beyond me or in fact that. you're a skeptic or you're a fire 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

4:05 am
thing. 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. as that is like you know a lot stronger mind major major weight into the system but if you want to be truly canonical you no longer can both be treated like an economist i think a stress test solution because. once you know your value and once you can do so once you learn all you you can regain your competitiveness of the international market is that after all it was the example of argentina which broke out of the monetary union with the u.s. dollar as the. overcoming a crisis in the usa will be discussed in st petersburg as the international economic forum athens its last day present. and spanish prime minister and the
4:06 am
finnish president and he said no way has. lots of sessions for this final day as well as high level bilateral meetings. and the sessions go from internet privacy to global food security really such a wide range of issues being covered what is called an economic forum but it really is all over the forum when you when you get down to it look at the real issues being discussed how the most high level meeting today will be of course the final session there the panel consists of president medvedev along with his counterparts the presidents of publics and in the spanish and finnish leaders and they are the focus is going to be managing fault lines and avoiding future crises of course a lot of talk these days about the euro crisis and the main challenge there is how to not let the euro fry says temper trade between the e.u. and countries like russia and kazakhstan and how they're also going to be speaking about the difference between the way emerging markets like the brics countries in
4:07 am
the u.s. and the eurozone have of looking at the global market and the financial system very different views on that and how that in the future do we deal with the global economy so that some of the questions that we'll be looking at in that session but i want to point out that in some of the other sessions which may seem less high level there's no less important discussions taking place i was that session about sport of course russia is hosting three of the world's biggest sporting events within the next decade that of course is unprecedented a lot of challenges there so that's important there's also a session on the situation the focus is in how to unlock the investment potential there so a lot of different issues being covered here in st petersburg on this final day. well that will be business but it's in about fifteen minutes time also today a special edition of all the t.'s on the money on the ballot. or about what lies ahead for russia that's coming your way in just about ten minutes time.

at least sixteen more people have been killed in syria protests continue the e.u. is planning a third round of sanctions against the regime of president assad after its deadly crackdown on demonstrations. activist says the sanctions the first step towards either intervention. the 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 went in libya where one step leads to another step they're climbing the escalation letter they have a very sort of selective concern for the lives of protesters and democracy movements or movements they call themselves democracy movements you take. their 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
4:09 am
. france and the u.k. for regime change and i think they see this growing protest movement and 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 the middle east experts have. told me that america's policies in the region have shown its priority to be geopolitical interests rather the interests of the public. all the talk of exporting democracy and all that sort of preaching to the 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 in syria which in my view is completely unjustified it's not necessarily going to turn into a fundamentalist islamist state or anything like that what we are seeing there are
4:10 am
really for freedom and democracy and. could have. played a more consistent role in foreign policy has and. also any sort of intervention there were doing which is based purely on this desire for stability is bound to be under counterproductive. amid fears of a looming u.s. military intervention in syria and is asking people misuse of they think there is something. you know there was an arab spring maybe america will have its own spring . steel by great pains in the resident which is coming your way also ahead. without water from a small mind drawn from the particle coming up i'll argue with the world rather than the russian orthodox. china is

a double digit growth rate in the financial crisis has been the envy of the world and yet many chinese are still reaping the rewards of the economic boom. millions of graduates force each year becoming part of a phenomenon called tribes morton explains. if despite the global slowdown china's economy is booming and cities are expanding at a seemingly unstoppable pace as people look to leave the pool room. all 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 of furtively 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 answer but the suffering forcing my parents and sister went through a lot of hardship to see if the money even put me through university i studied hard and did part time jobs to support myself you know the all i can find is unskilled part time work so i really feel like i'm letting them dying. 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 and two thousand and ten that number was six million and it's still growing
4:13 am
a lot that reject the work on the one hand chinese universities are already in a weak state we lead in weaker within the 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 he's going to give people like this work. with reports of rioting taking place in some areas the government is now looking to take action measures being discussed include limiting residence permits to skilled professionals and introducing electronic id cards for outsiders without a stable job however with the number of graduates entering the workforce to continue rising there seems little hope in sight for china's and tribes and remorse and r.t. beijing. there's always hope more on that story and all the news we're covering available article five dogs opinion and on you tube video clips like this one

4:16 am
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. had maybe our priorities are the same so you have all these countries in the middle east where the people are standing up against their government people in the u.s. standing up against their government thank you a bring our troops home i don't think that one day that will happen you know there was an arab spring maybe america will have its own spring no matter how you feel about the imperialism of united states the bottom line is let's face it it's not going to stop anytime there. are some other news from around the world for the. south korean soldiers have fired at a passenger jet after mistaking it for the north korean military play in support of a shorter asiana airlines plane which hundred passengers on board the aircraft was undamaged that's the latest incident highlighting the ongoing tension on the border between the two koreas. attempts to decontaminate water which runs from

isn't the case during the visit to the planet's some most russian orthodox church. perched atop a picturesque rocky hill overlooking the sea so it's a typical entirely russian orthodox church though this scene looks like it could be taken right out of the siberian picture book think again. at the work 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 a temple from the cedar tree in altai 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
4:19 am
a staff of two specially trained months each year but given the extreme climate in which they operate let's face it stream 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 blowing so that water is not is coming through the cracks but also to comply muppets' to leak inside. now the trinity church has become a sort of and article 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 at billings thousands station on king george island is a russian orthodox church and it's a fully functioning facility even performing rare matrimonial honors for those.
4:20 am
i came here for a long stay sixteen months and i had no idea that there was a church and russia i was not a frequent visitor to church but here somehow i started to be before i left russia i promise had learned it i'll bring her here i was not sure how but i promised that i would while supply was still in russia i got the idea why not have our wedding in this church. you know it's sort of unsettling are one of only two couples who have been married here at 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 but i like the streets very much it is very comfortable and you feel very special here the russian tradition in one's article 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.
4:21 am
