is worse now turkey is improving turkey is improving in all fields but europe is going backwards so we don't really you know. people are using the year as an investment to earn money here is a more reliable and turkish money because people don't want to save their money and they are. few invest neuros 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 actually beyond me or in fact that. you're a skeptic or you're a fire the 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 into account the freedom
10:03 pm
of labor the freedom of service you know service these are all integrated in others so it's not only chains of money or turks living. 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. possibly pouring more money into the coffers of responsible or inefficient with increasing tension in the economic mismanagement some for seed big problems ahead because army corp. based

10:05 pm
together if the greeks leave. as that is like you know a lot stronger more you need your lead your way into the system but if you want to be truly economical you no longer can both be like an economist i think just trust the best solution because. once you know you could do very well you know once you can loosen up once you've done all you do you retain your competitiveness on the international market does that after all is the example of a correction to know which broke out of the dollar to the u.s. dollar as the. physicality and in a few minutes the highly qualified people destined for a low quality. china's boom produces more university graduates that it can cope with chanting out thousands of virtually worthless degrees every.

how to avoid another economic meltdown that's been the latest topic for discussion of the international economic forum in st peter's bad a gathering wrapped up on saturday where it also dealt with the horizon school investment in russia and how to give developing countries more clout in the international monetary fund and world by and he said that if one. course the main topic at a session on global financing with european officials there's going to be the euro price this one has to be aside from the two officials in this president's 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 that because of the euro crisis of the currency being weak it's 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 heard a little less optimistic things about the euro saying that it could be expected
10:07 pm
that when so many different states get together and share one currency that eventually they're going to run into problems overall have to be said at the session went pretty optimistically resumes ready for taking 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 you to feel sunshine on the next day you have rain and that's our really apps for us and 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 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 made stated is going to run for reelection here is what he. should do but when i consider it appropriate to
10:08 pm
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 the past 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 so secret that president medvedev may fight for him as president and if you run. 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 spoke of the work force the plan to build a somewhat like us silicone valley institute just outside moscow it's well underway and since it's relevant a lot of c.e.o.'s in your sphere for the free day summit but in st petersburg from silicon valley we had eric schmidt. google and they're actually meeting with all of the officials from stoeckel by working side by side with them to make sure that this project moves and develops the sickly as possible so it's
10:09 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 is that the way they think that it should be talked. down to move from saying he does though get out of business bulletin and about ten minutes time. no way how to get a break and the problems. this russian orthodox church has wandered far from its home i'm john berman. and coming up on r.t. we explore the world southern most russian orthodox church. the syrian regime has apparently started an operation to prevent people from believe violence in the country troops granted by turns have swept into town very close to the texas border to stem the flow of refugees human rights activists say the action will prevent food and water reaching some two thousand displaced people meanwhile the u.s. lining up a third round of sanctions likely to target companies in the searing dealings have
10:10 pm
discuss possible pressure on the masters at the united nations with russia but most won't back any resolution that may bring military action and at least act that. any armed intervention would be counterproductive. all the talk of exporting democracy and all that sort of preaching to the 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 put 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 fundamental states or anything like what we are seeing there are really for freedom and democracy. was he could have been if you like played a more consistent role in foreign policy hasn't done but is also
10:11 pm
a new sort of intervention there were doing which is based purely on this desire for stability is to be a conduit for the country productive. still to come as a propaganda get going into a leader without asking the congress. new york people as well. it's a waste of money and in the lives of the young people you know who do you think this is maybe another reason for doing it one reason only oh well whatever the reason. they sound rather takes on america's military motivations are standing by the president in a few minutes. china's economy with double digit growth has been the envy of many rabbit persion of you know that it is in the country means it is there now a wash with too many graduates jobs and remoter dowry. despite
10:12 pm
the global slowdown china's economy is booming and that 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 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 shin is one such ant 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 all i can find is unskilled part time work so i really feel i can let in the 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 were producing eight hundred thirty thousand graduates a year in two thousand and ten but number was six million and it's still growing. on the one hand surely as universities are already in a weak state we lead in weaker with an overlap it's. it's graduates has been very cool on the other hand we have a whole generation who are used to having everything going for them you cannot do anything for themselves he's going to give people like this work. with reports of

rising taken place in some tribal areas the government is now looking to take action measures being discussed include limiting residents 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 own tribes and i'm also an r.t. beijing so we are in line all the time read out he got home with a wealth of stories and behaviors here to discover that the second they're. moving haven't calls out of his chair show bring all this in reading out then central russia to bring the lie to even the most isolated rash of it. and an american point tycoon who says there's always room a winner and trades an offer to the sex counter politician.

10:17 pm
that. just the safety of the people to which the money and the lives of the young people did you think this is maybe another reason that we're doing it of course one reason only or is it i don't think it's logical i don't think it makes any sense but i think there's a big disconnect between what people in government are thinking and what they think we want and what we're letting them know that we once. maybe our priorities aren't the same so you have all these countries in the middle east where the people are standing up against their government light people in the u.s. standing up against their government saying hey 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 is let's face it it's not going to stop anytime soon. a so-called liberal tree of death has been destroyed in a special operation in russia's north caucasus republic of dagestan around

a top picture ask a rocky hill overlooking the sea so it's a typical entirely a 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 you was not an easy operation there is if they don't go through 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
10:22 pm
which they operate let's face it stream challenges as well. because the conditions in antarctica are unusual with strong winds we need to hold back the power of the wind with strong tight walls and special chains sometimes the rain here comes out as horizontally with the wind so that water is not just coming through the cracks but also we can climb up which to leak inside. and our trinity church has become a sort of and arctic a 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 good 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 or even performing where matrimonial honors for those . would be. i came here for a long stay sixteen months and i had no idea that there. as

that's right these are the days when the sun doesn't set on russia's northern capital but it is going down on the rushes 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 kazakhstan where they discuss the challenges facing the global economy the russian president called on all countries to jointly handle 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
10:25 pm
looking toward those he believes and 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 in downtown for a new business to go when there are more private business to bring more top of the ledger free up congested space in the congested downtown order to bring more economic growth to moscow and really establish what is as i said europe's largest city as a major financial hub not just a regional one we talked 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. was before that actually here in the forum as well as
