going backwards so we don't really come. to british people are using the euro is an investment to earn money here is a more reliable and turkish money to these people don't want to save their money in the euro. if you invest neuros you get more than libra 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 that 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 of service these are all integrated in others
9:03 pm
so it's not only have many or turks living near and the. 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. be pouring more money into the coffers of irresponsible or inefficient members within creasing tension in the you are economic mismanagement some for seed big problems ahead because only cooperation. based on

meltdown that's been the latest topic for discussion at the international economic forum in st peter's by the gathering wrapped up on saturday but also dealt with the horizons for investment in russia and how to give developing countries more clout in the international monetary fund and world bank and it's an hour late. of course the main topic at a session on global financing with european officials there's going to be the euro crisis what has to be aside from the two officials of finland 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 this is about the euro crisis of the currency being weeks is really as they see it the currency is very strong back could of course be too faded 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
9:07 pm
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 though the session went pretty opportunistically president has been pointing 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 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 stated is going to run for reelection here is what does that. look. but when i consider it appropriate to
9:08 pm
tell you whether i will do it or not i will come out and say it in this forum is not the best place for the past 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 so secret that president medvedev may fight for him as president and if you're wrong. 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 come over for the plan to build someone like silicone valley 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 we had eric schmidt. and they're actually meeting with all of the officials from the scope of my work he signed by side with them to make sure that this project moves and develops the sickly as possible so it's

nations with russia but most us as it won't by any resolution that may bring military action and it need least action that's college says that any intervention would be counterproductive. all that torkel for exporting democracy and all that sort of preaching to us of the world i for. and 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 out at the 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 islamic state or anything like what we are seeing there are really for freedom and democracy and. could have been if you like played a more consistent role in foreign policy has and that is also

9:12 pm
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's cities are university graduates like those from this campus in downtown beijing however many are arriving to find their degrees are virtually 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 ants that are suffering or forcing 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 down. part of the problem is that there are simply too many university graduates now entering the system in one thousand nine hundred eighty when their governments 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. for that to work on the one hand chinese universities are already in a weak state we need them weaker within the 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 done for them and cannot do anything for themselves he's going to give people like this work. with reports of
