the party tonight b.b.q. agonizes over curbing is catastrophic a looming budget as other countries once eager to join the bloc have second thoughts now. but how to stop of global crisis happening again major business and political leaders discuss just that and the international economic forum has just wrapped up in some papers. and syria faces a third round of e.u. sanctions amid more deadly antigovernment crackdowns which saw more than a dozen dead and thousands raged nationwide.

hello you're watching r t it's now ten pm here in moscow my name's kevin zero in with you tonight on our top story a real war that so greece's latest finance minister sums up the job ahead of him he's been tasked with securing another multibillion euro bailout the criteria for which means slapping an outright hostile greek public with more austerity cuts and some countries like turkey which ones harbor dreams of e.u. membership are beginning to rethink their plans to. 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 if going to part of the you're right now turks 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's is improving turkey is improving in all fields but europe is going backwards so we don't need them. people are using the year as an investment to earn money here is a more reliable and turkish money to give people don't want to save their money or . invest in euros you get more than 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 the on the important factors that make euro skeptic or euro fire to public opinion analysts 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 the moment of labor the freedom of service you know service these are all integrated in others so it's not only exchange 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. the pouring more money into the coffers of irresponsible or inefficient with increasing tension in the economic mismanagement some for seed big problems ahead economic cooperation. based on

a single currency in europe. is. going to be history in the 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 in europe no longer seems like such a profitable move on martin r.t. istanbul turkey so while the e.u. struggles to pull its members out of her destructive to fold spiral the countries which stuck to their own currencies are breathing a sigh of relief right now and that's the view from germany too that's always been the chief proponent of the euro. those european nations not the you're well no but. there's the right. there's no

way we can avoid it before it will have to do. with all the european community everybody together if the greeks leave. that is like you know like stronger more you need your way into the system but if you want to be truly economic you know want to be treated like an economist. just solution because. once you know. who control you and once you can do so once you go look you retain your competitiveness on the international market just after all it was the example. of the monetary union with the u.s. dollar as the. if you minutes in the program the highly qualified people destined for a lower quality life as we report on china's boom has produced more university graduates

and they can cope with churning out thousands of virtually worthless degrees every year more than the few minutes time right now though in some leading business some political figures have been thrashing out how best to avoid another fatal economic meltdown last session of the economic forum is taken place in the city it's also beginning major to take a fresh look at investing here in russia i think it is and now it's been there for . full force the main topic at a session on kopel financing with european officials there's going to be the hero prices lower cost me aside from the two officials of finland presidents face prime minister post stated that it's not a euro crisis that the separate countries in the eurozone are having crises and they kind of outlined it because about the euro crisis of the currency being weak it's really as they see it the currency is very strong that could of course be too faded from the presence of such sun and president medvedev we heard a little less optimistic things about how the euro saying that it could be expected

that when so many different states get together and share one currency that eventually they're going to run into problems overall how to set the session went pretty optimistically present midriff 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 it really experts in these missiles 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 the final session it has to be said as well though that the final question actually from the moderator wasn't in fact of how funny 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 medvedev his going to run for reelection here is what he said at. the moment. but when i consider it

appropriate to tell you whether i will do it or not i will come out and say it but this forum is not the best place for that one thing you can be sure of is that i would be able to avoid making that statement i will have to tell the people of russia and then he will announce who's interested in my decision so secret that president medvedev may fight for him as presidents and if you run. the real action 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 but what's the plan to build someone like to a compound institute just outside moscow it's well underway and development a lot of c.e.o.'s of yours here for the three day summit in st petersburg from silicon valley the head area. and they're actually meeting with all of the officials from cocoa by working signed by fine would make sure 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 manner present the way they think it should be done what is this in our reporting for us in. politics coming up from business in about fifty minutes time all the way to how to get a face lift in the frost. this russian orthodox church has wandered far from its home on sean from here in antarctica and coming up on r.t. we explore the world the southern russian orthodox church. more news now few of the later show defiance against syria's president assad the scene at least of the sixteen people killed as thousands of people protested in major cities urging him to go the use learning of the third round of sanctions now too likely to target companies dealing in series economy this is the united states has discussed u.n. action in the region with russia moscow's condemned the violence calling on both sides to engage in talks but says it will not support any u.n.

resolution that may result in intervention and the war activists brought back is says that sanctions are only the first step towards a wider action. the if it adopts these new sanctions the third wave of sanctions there incrementally ask relating the u.s. and western european intervention into syria i think that we're going. down the road as we 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 protestors and democracy movements are movements that call themselves democracy movements you take rain there there 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 but mideast watches have been telling us that see that the u.s. public protection but actually it's got its eyes on the different. 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 in syria which in my view is completely unjustified it's not necessarily going to turn into a fundamentalist islamist state or anything like what we are seeing there are really a spirit for freedom and democracy and. could have been if you like played a more consistent role in foreign policy has and. also any sort of

intervention there with. which is based purely on this desire for stability is bound to be counterproductive. barack obama gets sued for going into libya without asking congress we asked people in new york whether the war was worth. the wait a minute the lives of young people did you think this is maybe another reason that we're doing it what was the reason all of. this and other tags of america's military motivations as gathered by the resident in just a few. well you may have enviously watched china's growth what needs to be flawed in at least one area the rapid expansion of universities main cities and wash with former students of the plywood scrap people forced to do menial jobs as you said morton reports on the rise of china's graduate ghettos.

despite the global slowdown china's economy is booming and its cities are expanding at a seemingly unstoppable pace as people look to leave the backgrounds behind in search of the chinese economic miracle and one of the largest groups of people to. during 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 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 to

suffering or forcing 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 and i thought well i can find is on skilled 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 that were producing eight hundred thirty thousand graduates a year in two thousand and ten that number was six million and it's still growing but. 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 poor on the other 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

rioting taking place in some tribal areas that 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 set to continue rising there seems little hope in sight for china's and tribes and remorse and r.t. beijing. the stories online for money dot com are online all the time twenty four seventh's of wealth of stories and pretty easy to discover have your say on there right now moving heaven and cross saying look at this church on wheels revving up in central russia to bring the mikes to the most isolated worshippers also this one too. and american pawn tycoon says there's always room for winner makes an offer to be sexting scandal politicians but our team.

we're number one in the world that we give us the 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 he has to be one no one better be as we think about. americans as being some kind. of world police you know even if that's true yes you don't think there's any algerian motive. no no no oil interests no economic interest no no no no no what do we want to accomplish then. just the safety of the waste of money and in the lives of young people you know do you think this is maybe another reason we're doing it the reason all of you are or is that i don't think it's logical or of the it makes any sense a great thing there's a big disconnect between what people in government are thinking and what 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 people in the u.s. standing up against their government thank you a bring our troops out i don't think that one day that will happen you know there was an arab spring maybe that america will have its own spring no matter how you feel about the imperialism at the united states the bottom line you let's be fair it's not going to stop anytime soon. so call the burra troop deaths being destroyed in a special operation in russia's north caucasus republic of iran it doesn't powerful homemade bombs were discovered at the underground compound there was hidden in a forest official say the raid prevented terror attacks across the republican it saved many lives all the bombs being destroyed also a number of cell phones were found and they say they could have been used to trigger explosions the operation for a terror suspect was arrested in the same area also the news this saturday night

what caused the plane crash. when it comes to devout religious worship the russian orthodox church will go to the ends of the earth at sea for its faithful flock next nazi sean thomas reports of the same side to the south pole. so. atop a picture ask a rocky hill overlooking the sea so it's a typical end of tiny russian orthodox church so this scene looks like it could be taken right out of a 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 took 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 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 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 just coming through the cracks but also it can climb up which to leak inside. now the trinity church has become a sort of antarctica landmark even becoming somewhat of a tourist destination for v.i.p.'s and diplomats. of 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 a thousand. island is a gem of

a russian orthodox church. going for thirty women performing where matrimonial honor the prilosec. michelle and. i came here for a long stay sixteen months and i had no idea that there. i 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 at trinity making their marriage a part of antarctic history in antarctica sean thomas. more travels ahead this next hour in the program we invite you to take a trip around the capital in a few minutes and we take a closer look at the picturesque with stephanie and i hope they're in the city but as in some papers but before that well that's been happening at the international

economic for. that's right these are the days when the sun just didn't set on russia's northern cop at all but it is going down on russia's on the st petersburg international economic forum or president dmitry medvedev capped off the entire event with a address during a panel discussion that he shared with the presidents of finland the prime minister of spain and the president of. where they discuss the challenges facing the global economy the russian president's called on all countries to jointly have all challenges facing the global financial system and he said united efforts and policy will help pull countries out of the deadlock and the doldrums that are facing the global financial system he said a key priority for russia in this case is to integrate more with other countries in the global economy and foster better cooperation with all of them and part of that

a keystone of all that he believes is the establishment of moscow europe's largest city as a major financial hub for the global financial system europe is looking toward is looking for this he believes that he believes that moscow is uniquely positioned to provide that service he's proposed in this case to expand moscow's borders currently seeking to move the jobs of large institutions out towards the outskirts of the city and bring those outskirts of the city not currently incorporated as part of the city system in order to free up space in the city center and downtown for a new business to go in there more private business to bring more top of the ledger free of congested space in the congested downtown order to bring more economic growth to moscow and really establish what is as i had said europe's largest city as a major financial how the not just a regional one we talk more about this with. from the t.v.

capital who believes that it is a key thing. to create a good environment for international work in the city center of moscow. i believe one of the main challenges. will be for that actually here in the forum as well as the that is infrastructure the legal system. i think this is what he's supposed to make sure that there is season this. he carries this because this is the business also on the laws the government souls' this i think it will become much of a financial center. but jack are not from elbrus capital management believes it's also important to boost domestic capital in russia so i would like to be needed to points to. one weakness of the russian national system which has to be addressed and it's very unique looking. for global perspective no other major economy in the world such a tremendous lack of for the most capital for the hold of the national market

because i could see sold off in that sense russia is very unique we were truly no presence in the existence of haitian mutual funds which would provide the mystique of political support it was your market to provide liquidity for and i think that's a very specific the mystic problems of the authorities are for as you know the provide background for successfully creating a financial system for this meeting often being called russia's answer to davos the st petersburg international economic forum of course had a lot of big business that went along with it a part of that fifty contracts having been cited amounted to some seven billion dollars worth of work that was accomplished here among the deals of philips signed a memorandum of agreement with a russian atomic agency to establish an eco system for nuclear medical research here in the country so that's an important point also as i had mentioned the spanish prime minister is up to taro in st peter's bird for our work on the

conference and to russia in spain. working on contracts that were worth some eight hundred million euros when they put pen to paper here in st petersburg among them the countries will jointly build new trains and they are working to develop oil and gas here in russia so that's new business and investment coming into the country always a good thing for the leadership here russia and spain aiming to boost trade to about ten billion dollars a year it's a lot of big business coming out of out of the st petersburg international economic forum on day three of the gathering and that's the business news here on our t.v. stay with us headlines up next.
