that are provoking the place are actually part of the main process as he said the people we spoke to said they wanted it to be peaceful and it has been up until now . i think the earlier day when that provocation happened when the police started. a correspondent sara firth in athens for us in the week british m.p. nigel farage says the use high officials need to greece and other struggling countries to stay in the euro zone to prove that the project works i have been trying with president calderon poyet with president barroso with all the people that lead the what is plan b. isn't it time we admitted that greece portugal our loans are not suited to the euro zone isn't it better that we that they come out they get their own currencies back they have a devaluation other then of course some of the barracks have to take a hit but they won't hear of it here because as far as they're concerned in brussels the euro the economic and military give you is
1:07 pm
a political project they see it as a stepping stone to the united states of europe and they're not prepared to admit they've got it horribly wrong and put back frankly they couldn't care less if tens of millions of people across europe lose their jobs that doesn't matter to the european commission provided they can maintain the euro and keep propping up the banks well they says british banks are getting jittery over greece apparently pulling billions out of funding the euro zone so they don't get stung anymore a former belgian parliament deputy speaker told me tonight the bailout cash designed to cure europe's struggling economies is being pocketed by the wealthy instead. crises like these are considered big opportunities by big financial institutions it was true in the past and it is so today where is the money gone well i think you don't have to look far the money has gone to financial institution to wealthy elites who are actually benefiting from this crisis bailouts what kind
1:08 pm
of bailouts true for what purpose that is the question the bill is that we have short far was look we give you all these taxpayer money without any conditions so you can keep on going doing what you did that is not the kind of bailout that ice was certainly craigs serve maybe angry at their government for the crisis they read but the germans are no less furious about having to pay for it next hour on the program are to speak to german m.p. close peter villa show explains why he thinks a new country should look after themselves. in the new treaty that. was regulated that there must be any bailout because otherwise you will ruin the public finances of those countries who are contributing to it as long as each country is responsible for its budget has to take full responsibility the only right answer to that is no bailout.

modernised economy cured of corruption most one of the top priorities in president medvedev to do list of which he outlined russia's direction in some pittsburgh this week international economic forum a stage to breathe new life into the country's investment climate that attracted some of the world's business and political heavyweights to what is innocent now is 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 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
1:10 pm
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 and the whole of russia agrees with this without any exception 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 russia's economic development is that not being a member of the world trade organization lately we're hearing from a lot of officials that access into the w t o for russia is possible by the end of 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 still we are asked to make an unseemly large number of concessions this kind
1:11 pm
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 the top innovators and world leaders will president medvedev run for reelection well it was the official last question of the form and this is what medvedev to say yes. 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 so 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 intrigue a bit longer. and certainly no intrigue surrounding what platform advantage would run on if he does announce he's running for reelection it will be all about modernization reporting from st petersburg and yes the way r.t.

1:14 pm
seven months ago and this may be where he stays indefinitely if found guilty on arms smuggling and terrorism related charges if he is convicted. he's looking at life there's no parole there's no early release in the federal system really the only why in the federal system to get a reduction in your sentence. a significant reduction is if you cooperate with the united states government some have argued mr bush needs to be on captain america's team however captain america is being accused of playing dirty and illegally to remove the air cargo business man from thailand according to documents released by wiki leaks all levels of washington top to bottom mounted political pressure against bangkok to gain custody of boot in a us cable dated august thirteenth two thousand and nine us president barack obama

a revolution activists david keyes says the uprising to install democracy is so far changed very little. some have been jailed simply for criticizing the government others have been brought up on spirits charges of quote unquote insulting the military but increasingly and certainly given the incredible high number of detentions detentions of civilians not tensions of people who have. tried to undermine the regime but people simply criticizing the military this is a very dangerous trend egyptian dissidents and bloggers who were imprisoned in military prisons and they describe incredible torture they describe electrocution they describe waterboarding they describe 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 egypt is going to move towards democracy and liberalism and openness in the west in fact is a very important role to play. also making news tonight his suicide bomber struck

a german called void in afghanistan the vehicles carrying soldiers and destroyed nato says there are no troop casualties however at least two civilians did die explosion the taliban says it carried out a bomb. from japan's devastated fukushima nuclear plant will open the doors of one of its reactive buildings to vent radioactive gases it's to prevent another explosion tepco also admits it's underestimated just how much radiation it would have to filter from cool of water the latest setback comes off the u.n. nuclear agency criticized tepco for its slow response and concealing the true magnitude of radioactive leaks james colbert is an online journalist in osaka says the risk to people's health remains very real. and he knew leaks of any kind are going to be an incredible burden on the efforts that are already on underway to try to clean up the water or decontaminated because they are now running out of space to actually store the contaminated water in the fukushima in the immediate vicinity
1:20 pm
of the plant and i believe within two weeks they're actually going to run out of space so they're trying to get a system on line for treating the water but apparently they 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 risk of cancer and however negligible that risk may be with any particular person on any particular day at 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 cancer rates there and it's really just a question of how many. with one of the highest teen suicide rates in the world russia has been jolted into action to try to reverse the worrying trend but experts say it's not that simple because there are several courses that can lead to tragedy if left unnoticed as artichokes on a boy to report compulsion is a cure but it's

1:22 pm
a year round problem roughly one in the half thousand children in teenagers killed themselves every year that's much higher than the average scene in the united states and britain that's in your problem is so out of hand that when i was informing the presidents about it he found it hard to believe but the figures are truly frightening every year up to four thousand children make attempts on their lives. girls are up to four times more likely to attempt suicide it is still boys who by a long way actually succeed in killing themselves. eagar is different he's trying to take his life three times the latest a 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 want to peace what's driving the problem in russia is what experts call
