is r t coming to you live from moscow i'm maria joshua into the program a real war that's how greece is the latest finance minister sums up the job had of him is been tasked with securing another multibillion euro bailout the criteria for which means slapping and outdrive hostile greek public was more austerity cuts and some countries like turkey which once harbored dreams of e.u. membership are beginning to rethink their plans. 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 but not anymore turkey's attitude in short can be summed up very simply very glad you're not part of the. turks on the streets seem to have a wide range of opinions on the euro but their countries doorstep europe's economy
9:02 am
is worse now turkey says improving turkey is improving in all fields but europe is going backwards say we don't really you know. people are using the euro is an investment to earn money here is a more reliable and turkish money because people don't want to save their money in the euro. universe and euros you get more than lira and euros 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 me you know an important fact to make euro skeptic or euro fire 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 and think the freedom of the moment of labor
9:03 am
the freedom of service you know service these are all integrated in others so it's not only chains of money or turks living. 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 it sound others economic disasters have meant appeals for bailouts this makes it difficult for national governments to you friend. personally pouring more money into the coffers of responsible or inefficient members with increasing tension in the economic mismanagement some for seed big problems ahead because army corp. based on
9:04 am
a single currency in europe. is. going to be history in the near future meaning that turkey will likely remain an independent trader for some time to come turkey's markets are famous to tourists and traders alike taking that mercantile spirit to europe but one seems like a good idea but with all the riches here it's not so in europe is no longer seems like such a profitable move tom barton r.t. istanbul turkey while the e.u. struggles to pull its members out of a destructive default spiral the countries of which stuck to their own currencies are breathing a sigh of relief and that a view from germany which is always been the chief proponent of the euro. european nations not be your will no be much firmer. if they're the right thing rather than trying to your there's no way we can avoid
9:05 am
a default it will have to be done. by the european community everybody together if the greeks believe. that is like you know a lot stronger mind major major break into the system but of. economic you know both of these things like an economist i think is trying to suggest solution because. once you know. once you can do that once your value you can retain your competitiveness of the international market this after all it was the example of argentina which broke out of the monetary union with the u.s. dollar as they could and in just a few minutes the highly qualified people destined for a low quality why china room produces more university graduates than a few cope with churning out thousands of virtually worthless degrees every year.
9:06 am
in st petersburg leading business and political figures have been thrashing out how best to avoid another fatal canonic meltdown the last session of the economic forum that's taking place in the city which has also been getting major firms to take a fresh look at investing in russia and he said ali has been there for us. full force the main topic out a session on global financing with european officials there is going to be the girl price this forecast to be aside from the two officials in the president's face prime minister paul stated that if not a euro crisis that the separate countries in the eurozone are having crises and they kind of outlined that because of the euro crisis the currency being weak is really as they see it the currency is very strong that could of course be too faded from the president of kazakhstan and president medvedev we heard a little less optimistic things about the euro saying that it could be expected
9:07 am
that when so many different states get together and share one currency that eventually they're going to run into problems overall it has to be said at the session went pretty optimistically president medvedev pointing out that the economy is a lot like the weather here in st peter's for one day but on the first day of the form you have beautiful sunshine on the next day you have rain and that's how really experts in these officials are looking at the economy and optimistic that eventually they will somehow get out of that the main challenge though that europe the european union i should say and russia and countries like kazakhstan are facing is not to allow the euro crisis to affect their trade and that's really what was the focus at this hour of a final session it has to be said as well though that the final question actually from the moderator wasn't in fact about money it was the question that was really on everyone's mind and would it come up before the end of the forum and that of course is whether or not president if he did is going to run the election he said that this was not the place again to announce something like that and that of
9:08 am
course every story needs some kind of entry. but when i consider it appropriate to tell you whether i will do it or not i will come out and say yes this forum is not the best place for that but one thing you can be sure of is that i would be able to avoid making my statement i will have to tell the people of russia and anyone else who's interested about my decision. both so secret that president may fight for him as president and if you run for reelection it will certainly be modernization that's what he opened this forum with and this is the best place to really work in detail on projects like school the votes for the plan to build a somewhat like silicone valley institute just outside moscow it's well underway and since its development a lot of c.e.o.'s and figures here for the three day summit in st petersburg from silicon valley we had eric smith from google and they're actually meeting with all of the officials from the scope of i working side by side with them to make sure
9:09 am
that this project moves and develops the sickly as possible so it's a great venue for the movers and shakers as we call them to really get together with these officials and in a very informal matter proves that the way they think that it should be done. and he's now reporting different saying that his work and more from saying that is bringing our business building in about fifteen minutes time then later today a special edition of art he's on the money worker labelle talks to people at the forum about what lies ahead for business and russia. another way how to get a facelift in the frost. this russian orthodox church has wandered far from its whole month long promised the end and parker go in coming up on our three we explore the world the southern most russian orthodox church. the latest show of defiance against syria's president assad has seen at least another sixteen people killed us thousands of people protested in major cities urging him to go
9:10 am
that he used up a third round of sanctions against syria is economic and he's imposing them on companies meanwhile the united states has this cost u.n. action in the region with russia moscow has condemn the violence calling on both sides to engage in talks and says it will not support any u.n. resolution that may result in intervention but ends. as brian becker says that sanctions are the first step towards. the e.u. if it adopts these new sanctions the third wave of sanctions there incrementally as collating the us 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 they're climbing the escalation letter 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 rain
9:11 am
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 and the possible slippage of the country in the direction of civil war as an opportunity to overthrow what has been considered to be an independent government in syria middle east watchers happen telling our t. that the u.s. may talk of public protection concerns but actually has its eyes on a different price. all the local for exporting democracy and all that sort of preaching to the rest of the world i find it's highly inconsistent and it's hypocritical and in the case of syria in particular i think the us is between wanting to be. mortified by what the alternative would be and syria which in my
9:12 am
view is completely unjustified it's not necessarily going to turn into a fundamentalist islamic state or anything like what we are seeing there are really for freedom and democracy. if you like played a more consistent role in foreign policy hasn't but is also a new sort of intervention there with. which is based purely on this desire for stability is to be counterproductive. still the common program here in r.t. as brock obama gets for going into media without asking congress we asked people in new york whether the war is worth it. to wage the money the lives of young people do you think there's maybe another reason why we're doing it one reason only what other reason. this in other words take on america these another state takes their america's military motivations as gathered by the resident few

minutes. may have you watched china surging growth but it has proven to be flawed in at least one area the rapid expansion of universities means cities are now awash with former students on employment scrapheap were forced into menial jobs harry morton reports on the rise of china's graduate ghettos. 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 but the streets are paved with anything but gold these
9:14 am
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 ends that are suffering or forcing 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 and i thought all i can find is unskilled part time work so i really feel like i'm letting them in dying are. 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
9:15 am
eight hundred thirty thousand graduates a year in two thousand and ten but number was six million and it's still growing. at that on the one hand chinese universities are already in a weak state we lead in weaker with an over rapid expansion so the education received by many of today's graduates has been very paul on the other we have a whole generation who are used to having everything going for them and can think for themselves he's going to give people like this work yup yup. 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 school professionals and introducing electronic id cards for outsiders without a stable job however with the number of graduates entering the workforce six or continue rising there seems little hope in sight for china's own tribes and remorse and preaching well if you miss something arrogant always watch it at your leisure
9:16 am
at our tea dot com and we've got loads lined up for you they're. born by kindergarden a four year old boy wins a lawsuit against the circus for not putting out a show it promises. an american foreign tiger and says there is always room for winner and makes an offer to the sexting scandal politician. american lawmakers are suing rock obama for violating the constitution by going too far in libya they say he's breached the time limit for mobilizing the military abroad without asking permission from congress or his roving reporter the resident took to new york sidewalks to hear what people there think of sending more troops into more countries problems.

9:18 am
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 lying 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 the america will have its own spring no matter how you feel about the imperialism of the united states the bottom line and let's face it it's not going to stop anytime soon. was bring you up to date on some other stories from around the world here in our sectarian clashes in northern lebanon have killed seven people including a fourteen year old a government employee army troops in the city of tripoli to prevent the violence from escalating between sunni. muslims and was a result of protests protest against the rule president also in neighboring syria that many sunni are strongly against the regime there while the all what will.
