economic meltdown that's been the latest topic for discussion at the international economic forum in saying it is bad the gathering of raw talent such day where it also developed would be horizons for investment in russia and how to give developing countries more clout in the international monetary fund and of all bank and he said now it is at the farm. i put forth the main topic at a session on global financing with european officials there's going to be the girl prices lower cost me aside from the two officials in the president's phrase 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 weeks is really as they see it the currency is very strong that could of course be too faded from the president of the sun and president medvedev we heard a little less optimistic things about how the euro saying that it could be expected
6:07 pm
that when so many different states gets together and share one currency that eventually they're going to run into problems overall hosty said the session went pretty optimistically president is ready for taking out that the economy is a lot like the weather here in st petersburg one day but on the first day of the form you have you to feel sunshine 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 that the main challenge so that europe they the european union i should say and russia and countries like cause accent 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 would say that is going to run for reelection here is what is that. but when i consider it appropriate to
6:08 pm
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 once and 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 so secret that president medvedev main fight for him as president and if you're wrong. reelection will certainly be modernization that's what he's hoping this forum with and this is the best place to really work you detail on projects like school that would force a 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 of yours 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 the scope of i working side by side with them to make sure that this project moves and develops the simply as possible so it's
6:09 pm
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 piece that the way they think that it should be tougher. and more from st petersburg now business bulletin and about fifteen minutes on the way how to get a facelift and the frost. this russian orthodox church has wandered far from its whole month on thomas in order to go and coming up on our feet we explore the world the southern most russian orthodox church. the syrian regime has apparently started an operation to prevent people from fleeing violence in the country troops backed by turns have swept into a town very close to the turkish border to stem the flow of refugees to tackle human rights activists say the action will prevent flood food and water reaching some two thousand displaced people meanwhile the un is lining up a third round of sanctions like you to turn it companies might see rain dealings
6:10 pm

6:11 pm
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. as brother bond i guess seed of growing into media without asking congress wealthy people in new york whether he was worth it. to wait for money the lives of young people do you think there's maybe another reason that we're doing in the world reason only . that. they send their takes on america's military motivations are gathered by the president if you. are. china's economy of double digit digit growth has been the envy of many rapid expansion of you know that it is in the country that is there now a wash with too many graduates looking for new jobs and remoter story.
6:12 pm
despite the global slowdown china's economy is booming found its cities are expanding at a seemingly unstoppable pace as people look to leave the 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 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 thousands 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
6:13 pm
are shared and there is nowhere for them to cook but it's not just the ants 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 when i thought i can find is unskilled part time work so i really feel like i'm letting them in guiding a. 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 but number was six million and it's still growing but the help that. on the one hand surely as universities are already in a weak state we need 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
6:14 pm
a whole generation who are used to having everything going for them and cannot do anything for themselves is going to give people like work. with reports of rioting taking place in some tribal 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 set to continue rising there seems little hope and sight for china's own tribes and i'm also an r.t. beijing. and we are online all the time as r.t. to be here with a wealth of stories or b.d.'s to discover it so let's take a look. at moving heaven across as this chatter where else is reading out in central russia can bring their life to even the most isolated awash. in american tycoon says there's always room winner and makes it all better this

6:22 pm
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 blowing so that the water is not just coming through the cracks but also it can climb up which to leak inside. and out 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 his 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 bolling thousands gratian on the island is a gem of the russian orthodox church and it's a fully functioning facility even performing where matrimonial honor is that for those. of us. i came here for
