using discretionary department of funds discretionary funds to get around it anyway so it's a question of how effective would be it works in their benefit we do live in a military industrial complex type of world where they have they have the purse strings they have the power. well there's still a lot for you ahead this hour including the unmanned warfare in the gulf reports of a secret american drone base near you have an immersion along with outrage for the alleged civilian deaths and the latest attacks. russia and china are pumping gas though the price proved to be a problem but neither of the the summit empty handed after securing billions of dollars in business. and the tragedy of teen suicides russia struggles to rein in an epidemic even though experts say there's an all too obvious remedy. now three days into his job and greece's new finance minister has admitted he faces

what he calls a real war in carrying out a raft of painful reforms to convince his e.u. counterparts to give greece new loans his much bigger task will be to get angry greeks on side to bear more parts to job services and pay the appointment was part of a major cabinet reshuffle to try and call the deep seated fury being shown on the streets of athens r.t. surfer was in the capital this week when the latest violent protests broke out. with the clashes between the police on the protesters still going. on this. building by the crowd you can see the destruction that been found along the fence larry that was filled with. people who know one thing that was going on at the moment the police trying to find that final bill right now we've not. got my love of the people on the street sees the next people just them but when they got small
11:05 am
still they don't want to hold still but it seems that the people who are behind the provoking the police people still moving back on through the centuries but even though you can haven't got nothing that's off by the police they turned out the right time to get. there i agree about the economic situation. been happening in that country and they want it probably not going to be able to. play for about really got the committee thing the tensions between the people breaking into the crowd the police out there getting ready to retaliate. the crowd. look at the situation that the despair i say that they're trying to face the fact and the police are trying. their managing by the looks of things to push back the police actually off the central square itself there's a lot of the protesters who throwing things wearing gas masks and we spoke to some of the main organizers from the t.v.
11:06 am
and to organize a protest today they said that they wanted it to be peaceful until the end of june and so any of these measures will cause see the police the letting of take us into the crowd that incredibly hard to breathe only straight not it's too pleasant for anyone there's lots of people getting medical treatment around the play. but the violence is really a rope thing and we're not entirely sure if these people wearing the gas masks that are provoking the police are actually part of the main price that as we said the people we spoke to said they wanted it to be peaceful and it has been up until now up until early it's day when that provocation happened when the police started to try and push them by that. journalist illyana scree sister midis was also among the general strike protests and he was international bankers for luring greece into a debt from which it can't escape. we cannot pay all the money they hits they interest rates all the money we take is in order to pay the high interest rates this is this is robbery this is theft this is swindle i can't describe it any more
11:07 am
and the problem for them now is that people know that they realize that they see their income don't going down they see taxes doxies taxes and nothing else unemployment you think unemployment is this is what they telling you no realign employment will reach twenty five percent sure and this is a chaotic situation and the owner is possible for this situation is international monetary fund minister of finance this government has failed well greeks may be angry at their government for the crisis turandot but the germans are no less serious about having to pay for it next hour r.t. speaks a german m.p. klaus peter welsh who explains why he thinks e.u. countries should look after themselves. and you would treaties. was regulated that there must be any bailout because otherwise you will ruin the public finances so for those countries who are contributing to it as long
11:08 am
as each country is responsible for its budget has to take full responsibility the only right answer to that is no bailout. a modernized economy cured of corruption is one of the top priorities in president medvedev to do list in which he outlined russia's direction in st petersburg this week the international economic forum was staged to breathe new life into the country's investment climate and attracted some of the world's business and political heavyweights artes and he said sums up the showcase highlights. modernization based on stifling corruption dees centralizing power and government reforms all goals voiced by president medvedev at this year's international economic forum here in st petersburg where how russia is going to attempt to become one of the world's biggest and most effective economies was laid out. we shouldn't hesitate to say goodbye to many bad habits we should focus on the following
11:09 am
improving the investment climate in russia to create new jobs in the regions the creation of a modern police service and other security forces improving the effectiveness of the justice system and finally the modernization of government of course the main bad habit as the president calls it is corruption which he says is choking russia's economy this was his message to the country's officials that don't do business according to the law. the noose around the neck of those who practice corruption should be tightened in the whole of russia agrees with this without any exception if the government should be purged of corruption in a more decisive way and for that purpose we should in harms way those suspected of corruption are dismissed from public service another issue that's hampering process economic development is that not being a member of the world trade organization lately we're hearing from a lot of officials that exception to the w t o for russia is possible by the end of
11:10 am
this year the president agrees but says only under very specific circumstances. we have long been ready to join the w t o more than many other countries small or large and still we are asked to make an unseemly large number of concessions if this kind of approach is unacceptable russia will not agree to any evidently unfavorable solutions and of course presumably the one question on all of the minds of the business executives top innovators and world leaders will president medvedev run for reelection well it was there for yourself the question of the forum and this is what medvedev to say. sure when i consider it appropriate to tell you whether i will do it or not i will come out and say it this forum is not the best place for that one thing you can be sure of is that i will be able to avoid making that statement that you will not have to wait much longer. every story requires some kind of intrigue otherwise they'll be no interest in living. so let's keep the
11:11 am
intrigue a bit longer. and certainly no intrigue surrounding what platform advantage what is wrong if he does announce he's running for reelection it will be all about modernization reporting from st petersburg and it's the way our city. well the far east came to russia's north this week as china's leader joined the gathering in st petersburg calling for common efforts to get the global economy back on track hu jintao described the recovery as slow and fragile and said more reform is needed hu jintao described the recovery as slow as he said that followed his trip to moscow where talks failed to decide on a price to ship russian gas directly into china last year moscow and beijing agreed to start supplies of siberian natural gas to energy hungry kind of through a new pipeline which should be built by twenty fifteen dr biology shoes an expert in russia china relations is optimistic but says a deal worth a trillion dollars takes time. negotiation will be tough there will be
11:12 am
a lot of terms that need to be determined negotiated it takes time but i'm basically optimistic about finding a deal out of italy because of the fundamental factors are there this economy is a highly complimentary to each other so it must even be you it's find it will be a win win situation russia need to be more diversified in terms of the market. wants to also was about worth the fight it's the supply of energy sources for instance it used to depend heavily on the middle east so we all know the reason disturbance there so so tiny is hunger for a new energy source and suddenly if this if this deal with the rich and they can buy a large. amount of gas from russia they have to again to stable and long term reliable and the resources. a u.s. judge says the case against an alleged russian gun runner victor boot is convincing

11:18 am
describe waterboarding to describe the regular beatings and this was the egyptian military that stood behind mubarak until the last minute so while there have been gains and we hope that egypt has a brighter future ahead of it there are still many many challenges that it still has to overcome if you ship is going to move towards democracy and liberalism and openness in the west in fact has a very important role to play. check on some of today's main world news a suicide bomber has struck a german convoy northern afghanistan that vehicle was carrying german soldiers and was destroyed in the attack but nato says there are no troop casualties however at least two civilians died in the explosion last month two german soldiers died in the attack which also killed a regional police commander. argentinian coast guards have seized more than four hundred kilo of cocaine on board a luxury u.s. registered yacht two spaniards who found the boat fled the day before the police raid and authorities say weapons were also found on board including

11:20 am
plant and i believe within two weeks they're actually going to run out of space so they're trying to get a system online for treating the water but apparently the test for that is going to be pushed back another few days it's already been pushed back from last friday there is no such thing as a safe level of radiation exposure that any level of radiation exposure increases the. the risk of cancer and however negligible that risk may be with any particular person in any particular date any particular spot when it's averaged out over a large population like is living in the fukushima region unfortunately means there will be over time an increase in in cancer rates there and it's really just a question of how many football spectators are often seen clashing with security officers but in the russian town of nizhny novgorod policing turned on a player instead a striker for st petersburg then hit squad was given a jolt of bolts by an officer he was hit when he approached his team's fans to

11:23 am
yet it's still boys who by a long way actually succeed in killing themselves bigger is different his try to take his life three times the latest the time just six months ago. i just had enough i was tired of fighting with my mom my girlfriend left me i was fed up with studying i couldn't stand seeing the streets and hearing all this noise i just wanted everything to end and i wanted peace what's driving the problem in russia is what experts call a low emotional literacy psychological or psyche. help is underdeveloped and not easily available then there is the stigma. committed in the state of emotional distress which builds over time for their own warning signs big even if parents notice that many would rather ignore them and to take their kid to a psychologist or psychiatrist which added to that continuing social and economic shift making it harder for parents to provide for their children leaving little
