real life stories from world war. nineteen forty five don't r.t. top card. some stories from r.t.d. you agonizes over curbing its catastrophic debt and ballooning bailout budget as other countries ones eager to join the plot have second thoughts as we rip. meanwhile the same petersburg international economic forum for discussing how to avoid another global economic meltdown and encouraging major firms there to fresh look at the new arising from bets this here in russia. and we take it to the end of the earth to our dark took care of the most southerly russian orthodox church built in a place you least expect. you

watching r.t. it's one am here in moscow my name's kevin irwin 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 multi-billion euro bailout the criteria for which means slapping an outright hostile greek public with more austerity cuts this is countries like turkey which ones are the 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 not anymore turkey's attitude in short can be summed up very simply a big part of the euro took on the streets seem to have 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 so we don't need them. to push people are using a year as an investment to earn money here is a more reliable and turkish mining people don't want to save their money mirror. universe and 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 finance its. economy is that beyond the important factor that will make euro skeptic or euro via the public opinion analysts are keen to point out that further economic integration into europe doesn't just mean money and that people should only think about their pocketbook economics they have that they can think 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 if so and others economic disasters have meant appeals for bailouts this makes it difficult for national governments to you friend. person reporting more money into the coffers of irresponsible or inefficient with increasing tension in leave with economic mismanagement some for see big problems ahead economy corporation. based on a single currency in europe. is. going to be

history in the near future meaning that turkey will likely remain independent trader for some time to come turkey's markets are famous to tourists and traders alike taking out mercantile spirit to europe but one seems like a good idea but with all the riches here it's not so europe you no longer seems like such a profitable move tom dart an r.t. istanbul turkey. while the east troubles to pull its members out of a destructive default spiral the countries which stuck to their own currencies are breathing a sigh of relief and that's a view from germany too that's always been the chief proponent of the euro and those european nations not be your willowby much. over the right thing. there's no way we can avoid 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 you know major major weight into the system but if you want to truly call the economic you know going on with things like an economist i think is trust the best solution because. once you know you devalue and once you can look once your value you can regain your control of the only international marketplace that after all is the example for action to know which broke out of that. with the u.s. dollar as the big. in a few minutes on r t the highly qualified people dressed in for a low quality life china's boom produces more university graduates and can cope with chilling out thousands of virtually worthless degrees every year it's a story we reveal a bit later in the program. i know that to some people their leading business and

political figures have been stretching out her best to avoid another fatal economic meltdown economic forum grabbed up saturday in the city where it's also been getting major firms to take a fresh look at investing here in russia his nyssa now reports. full force the main topic at a session on global financing with european officials there are going to be the girl crisis a lot has to be aside from the two officials finless presidents face prime minister post stated that if not the euro crisis that the separate countries in the eurozone are having crises and they kind of outlined that because of the euro crisis of the currency being weak because really as they see it the currency is very strong back could of course be too great it from the president of kazakhstan and president medvedev we've heard a little less optimistic things about 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 up the session went pretty optimistically president has been forging out that the economy is

a lot like the weather here in st petersburg one day like on the first day of the form you have beautiful sun shining on the next day you have rain and that's how it really acts for us and these officials are looking at the economy and optimistic that eventually they will somehow get out of it 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 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 medvedev is going to run for reelection here is what he said. look. at it 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 anyone else who's interested about my decision to put the secret that president medvedev may want for our presidents and if you're wrong. to relax 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 come up with forth a plan to build someone like silicone valley institute just outside moscow it's well underway in terms of 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 schmidt. and they're actually meeting with all of the officials from spoke about working side by side with them to make sure that this project moves and develop this could be 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 because that the way they think it should be done. in this

in our they're bringing us up to date of good will from some petersburg too in our business both in about fifteen minutes time and on the way as well how to get a facelift in the frost. this russian orthodox church has wandered far from its home and found in antarctica and coming up on r.t. we explore the world the southern most russian orthodox. the syrian regime's apparently started an operation to prevent people from fleeing violence in the country troops backed by tanks have swept into a turn very close to the turkish border to stem the flow of refugees to turkey human rights activists say the action will prevent food and water reaching some two thousand displaced people meanwhile the e.u. is learning of a third round of sanctions lied to the target companies dealing with syria the u.s. has discussed possible pressure of the rascasse at the united nations with russia but moscow says it won't back any resolution that may bring military action middle east expert says that any armed intervention would be counterproductive. all the

talk or for exporting democracy and all that sort of preaching to the rest of the world i find is hiding consistent and is hypocritical. in the case of syria in particular i think the u.s. is caught between wanting to be out 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 which we are seeing there are real experience 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 were doing which is based purely on this desire for stability is bound to be counterproductive coming up on our two years barack obama gets sued for

going into libya without congress we asked people in new york whether they thought the was worth. a waste of my head if the lives of young people did you think this is maybe another reason that we're doing it one reason only. this another takes of america's military motivations as gathered by the resident in a few minutes on this channel. we watched china's growth but it's proven to be flawed in at least one area the rapid expansion of universities means that cities are now awash with former students on the employment people forced into menial jobs at his henry 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 pool rule grounds 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 riving to find their degrees are virtually worthless and that the streets are paved with. anything but told these 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 chine 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 or force my parents and sister went through a lot of hardship to save them 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 dying. part of the problem is that there are simply too many university graduates now entering the system and nine hundred ninety eight 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 that number was six million and it's still growing but that is for that 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 is very poor on the other we have a whole generation who are used to having everything going 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 areas the government is now looking to take action the 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 six or continue rising there seems little hope in sight for china's and tribes and remorse and i'll see beijing. story again have a comment on it you can see online in our along with a wealth of other stories and videos for discover like these two moving heaven across earth this church on wheels that's what you're looking at is revving up in central russia to bring the light through even the most isolated worshippers. and an american porn tycho's there's always room for wiener and makes an offer to the sexting scandal politician. cheers he was offered one of its islands as a venue for possible talks between the libyan opposition and embattled leader

colonel gadhafi but any negotiations will only go ahead if there overseen by the african union in russia according to the kremlin special envoy to the area he says the rebels see russia as a crucial partner mediating the conflict while growing ever more skeptical of western involvement president obama's actions in libya have earned him a lawsuit at home he's being accused of violating the constitution leading politicians say he's breached the time limit for military action abroad without pollution from congress party's roving reporter the resident took to new york sidewalks to hear what people there think of sending more troops into more countries problems. we're number one in the world that we can us it has to shore the world against they'll do it in. the best we can how we can still do it why is that so important to be number one has to be he has to be one of the one better be as we think about . the americans as being some kind of. police you

know. yes i don't think there's any altieri motive. no oil interests no economic interests no no what do we want to accomplish that. just the same. so where's the money in the lives of young people did you think this is maybe another reason we're doing it the reason only. i don't think it's logical makes any sense great thing there's a big disconnect between what 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 lying people in the u.s. standing up against their government thanks a lot 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 the united states the bottom line and let's face it it's not going to stop

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 you was not an easy operation there. 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 months each year but given the extreme climate in which they operate they face extreme challenges as well but 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 we comply mumford's 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 at. 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. i came here for a long stay sixteen months and i had no idea that there was. church and russia i was not a frequent visitor to the church but here somehow i started to be before a lecture russia i promise a lot of it 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 and

destroy each. one of only two couples to have been married here trinity making their marriage a part of antarctic history in antarctica sean thomas polity. as cut with my treasured items and peter's. these are the days when the sun doesn't set on russia's northern copyable but it is going down on the rush is 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 that with the presidents of finland the prime minister of spain and the president of kazakhstan of what they discussed the challenges facing the global economy the russian president called on all countries to jointly handle challenges facing the global financial system 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 a part of that a keystone of all that he believes is the establishment of moscow for europe's largest city as a major financial hub for the global financial system europe is looking toward is looking toward this he believes and he believes that moscow is uniquely positioned to provide that service but 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 when there are more private business very more capital a differing opinion as a space in the congested downtown order to bring more economic growth to moscow and

really establish what is as i've said europe's largest city as a major financial hub not just a regional one we talk more about this with us. 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. was referred to actually here in the forum as well as the that is the structure of the legal system. in russia i think i know this is what he's supposed to make sure that there is he's in this. because he's in this business is to do business in moscow and he wants the government sells 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 a message to capital in russia i would like to immediately points to. one weakness

of the russian national system which has to be addressed and it's a very unique looking. old prospective no other major economy in the world such a tremendous life for the mystic of the old for the for the of financial market being got a quick useful office any thoughts so she's very unique we were true you know presidents always sort of fish neutral farms which would provide the mystique of the supports a consumer market is to provide liquidity for the i think that's a very specific and mystic problem the go forward to sell food for as you know the provide for successfully creating a financial sense of 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 mounted to some seven billion dollars worth of work that was accomplished here among the deals of philips signed

a memorandum of agreement with the 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 zapatero in c. . peters' bird for our work on the conference and russia and spain working on contracts that were worth some eight hundred million euros when they put pen to paper here in st petersburg 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 or so 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.
