forecasting live from the russian capital twenty four seven misses out greece has erupted into more civil unrest and thousands of angry protesters flooding the streets that's after parliament gave the green light to tough new cuts in order to secure a further financial lifeline from the e.u. european officials welcomed the move the greeks could not have been less happy with the pending austerity as they gathered in the center of athens on the second day of a general strike protest is threw stones at police smashed windows and set fire to prove the police responded with tear gas and stun grenades the clashes continued overnight dozens of recent protests were injured while many demonstrators were detained greeks now face twenty eight billion euro worth of cuts and tax rises precondition to a second bailout being released without the money greece would default on its loans

within weeks. journalist on tree katrina's says unless the government addresses the needs of the people it could have a revolution on its hands. i've been to a lot of these protests and a lot of these rallies usually things down after they get very violent or at least when we head into the night time there's a there's a brief period where things calm down before they get violent again but we really haven't had that here an interesting thing is some some bikers were actually rolled down yesterday from northern greece and more and more people got on the on the bandwagon as they came down they rode by again in front of parliament once again people get very excited when they come through it's very hopeful so it's i think there's a mix there's a mixture of excitement of hope because of the of the response but also there's a there's a concern here because there's a lot of violence and and that's a concern not only for the protesters obviously who have been injured but also for the government because with these with this type of violence it becomes a much more difficult for them to cause i started measures and privatization schemes that are widely unpopular this morning to scholars here recently
12:03 am
constitutional scholars and former members of the government they claim that the measure completely unconstitutional the first place because you need one hundred eighty members of parliament to pass a short legislation first of all second of all they can pass whatever they like but if the people don't agree to it and that people are not willing to sit down and take it it doesn't really matter what they pass and that's what we're seeing here right now what you're looking to have happen is you're going to see a fall this government some point i've said if things get really of the violence is a really big issue because if if the violent if this results in casualties not just massive injuries then that's going to that's going to lead to a collapse of this government will that mean that the next government will come in and actually do something productive maybe maybe not but then the government have to fold to i don't see the people in this country lying down people who are very angry here in the very upset and they understand what's going on and then sent these measures are not going to help them and their future there are a lot of educated people this country a lot of capable people living outside of greece who want to come back to this country because they love it and they're not about to see it get liquidated first
12:04 am
some for some morsel of bread and some islands in the aegean that might have natural gas and any that's not going to happen. canned peas a second hold another. day and decide how the cuts. going to be implemented because greeks cry out against tough austerity measures it's the germans who work and drugs and anyone that's a market sense is weak and risky packages are results of the e.u.'s favor and puts credits and risk. we have a bailout fruition in the european treaty article one hundred twenty five which expresses says that we have a one tree union and want to remove without left to for financial or fiscal solidarity to go slowly over the pace of the effort past and feel like earthquakes and requires an overt earthquake it's a governance problem it's generated by these. leases and responsibilities so as a matter of fact there's people believe that the greek crisis might create the
12:05 am
contagion to other more you go to commies politicians are afraid of people who are afraid take very very unreasonable decisions first this is rules to allow police to have very very generous pretty rough year and a credit to a sovereign country means for as long as the come from a country who leans paper for credit all people who have been creditors will remain at risk so we are in a very very dangerous phase of european monetary policy european infantry for policy because we have stayed away straight away from the powerful institutions and on the verge here which is laid down in the treaty there when i came in on the ninth and tenth of may on the french influence of the european economic. community and in particular the european want to even has been redesigned without any good by the populations who have consented to giving up the money among those germans and
12:06 am
their will and very bitterly i feel. marcus kerber the greek bailout is actually outside you do stiction. it's not only greece that seeing the last civil unrest in the u.k. more than half a million public sector workers are set to protest against government plans to change the pensions and freeze pay many schools will be closed and transport is largely to be severely affected as well when they strike out these lower end it isn't the voices of discontent. down tools are with industrial action and all some of discontent starts here as the u.k. braces for a wave of strikes not seen for decades this time it's three quarters of a million public sector workers walking out unhappy with the planned reform of their pensions which they say will see them paying a lot more and getting a lot less we don't think they should be if i still bought some of pensions i think
12:07 am
a friend deserves to have security retirement people talk about withdrawing from the pension scheme because they can't afford to pay the mortgage at the same time as paying for the connections and people are really angry that time and bankers are making back i mean this is yeah ok we're being asked to take a punch in our countries to pay more for our pensions realities without supplying the rest which is which of these people do a huge variety of key work from teachers and lecturers to air traffic controllers and coast guards unisons the u.k.'s biggest public sector trade union deputy chief bob avidly says his one point three million members are ready for prolonged industrial action we're almost a war footing we've got thirty million pain set aside and we've got a strategy work both but i must stress that's not what we want to do we want to talk to the government and the goetia sensible package and not the
12:08 am
ridiculous package of their proposal at the moment that package involves raising the retirement age from sixty to sixty six raising pension contributions by workers and having payouts based on average career earnings rather than final fowler eight the unions admit public support is fundamental to having a successful strike caption the government's very unlikely to change its mind about reforms if the public at large doesn't back the unions but that's by no means assured public service workers who already get very generous pensions in the. the cost of those pensions is very much. the burden falls on for the next generation it really is absolutely essential that complete sets of pensions reform don't even after they are reformed public sector workers will get far better pensions and private sector workers the unions want to apply enough pressure to force the government to change its mind and its new strain just save you time and it was hell bent on reforming the health service too until it decided to take longer to think
12:09 am
about it causing friction in the coalition the government's doing this to reduce the current fifty billion dollar pension bill but it may be cutting off its nose to spite its face that my wife the issue here according to the u.k. pension fund you can bet that a lot of me if public sector work it's no don't think that pensions what while they may start contributing to that if that was a widespread withdrawal pepsin funds would collapse and that would mean you pay p.l.o. the very shores of investment just what it means that more than ever begins we'll be tracking that but is the government listening to your avatar to see. well the scale of the walkouts in the u.k. hasn't been seen decades later we hear from this trade union what that says if that fails to take notice this time it will return to protest and even greater numbers.
12:10 am
probably three quarters of a million people from four different unions on strike is something of how this hasn't happened in this country for decades it's the start not the finish to the government is if they try to ignore we'll come back in the autumn and we may well see millions of people on strike so the idea is to build pressure so the government realize the working people the length and breadth of the u.k. are not just going to let them get away with what they're doing and we believe that pressure ultimately come forced them to change direction saying you want to go just when they're having a chat with a few people in a room is one thing saying you want to go when there could be millions of people taking. right action is entirely another and we actually believe that the six million trade unionists plus the thousands and thousands or hundreds of thousands of pensioners and students all becoming a joint campaign is going to be poetically very powerful we've already seen in britain a march of one hundred five hundred thousand people three months ago transformed the political mood in this country from arts can do the power of the river walk and
12:11 am
strikes actually do. and you can watch the full interview with a pretty straight you need a marx what planning to start twenty minutes time here or not say. that will say we're coming your way tensions are still high over a long awaited change in egypt's capital yet again reaches a boiling point as thousands of protesters use the interim government or the lack of action to support the student recently. and the history repeating itself we find out about the hardships of the own nation people forcibly displaced now struggling to get back to their own and then to now. for almost five years he's been the ballot help us military responsible for the billions of dollars flowed into the pentagon's conference from washington well now secretary of defense robert gates is retiring even behind three wars and an ever
12:12 am
growing defense budget but with the director of the cia stepping into his shoes i think doubt there will be much change in the president's course. whoever's in the white house in the pentagon it's business as usual robert gates was secretary of defense to true different presidents obama was elected on a promise to end the wars of his predecessor george w. bush but america's worse continued and one more was even added to the plate of being conclusive campaign libya would ministrations change or change between parties. there really isn't a great deal of training in the pentagon under robert gates his watch america's annual defense spending approach the trillion dollars rising at the pace of about five percent a year but statements from his office were often contradictory fan spending that nearly doubled the base budget over the last decade a gusher has been turned off and will stay off the u.s.

groans without sacrificing the lives of their soldiers in countries like pakistan yemen and libya and many say that's the main issue that happened in military operations on the robert gates a shift that some say can only lead to more destruction. the united states has increased the intensity of the focus on drone strikes those are not new and we didn't deal. while targeting terrorists the u.s. has been criticized for killing all civilians it's also making us less. secure from a policy standpoint we can intervene all over the world it just fuels insurgencies and fuels anti-americanism analysts say the deaths of thousands of civilians in afghanistan are part of the reason why the u.s. has failed at curbing insurgency there now the u.s. is preparing to pull out the fur of its troops by the end of next year many afghans
12:15 am
fear that less troops doesn't mean less bombs dropped on their homes as the u.s. that stop aerial strikes in the region the possibility of waging a war without having to justify the deaths of the american troops has become more palatable for the pentagon the cia has been at the forefront of america's undeclared wars and with a new secretary of defense leon panetta who was the head of the cia the trend is on likely to change i'm trying to shut down reporting from washington our team. egypt's interim leadership facing the strain with renewed violence on the streets officials have ordered a probe into clashes and car and after more than a thousand people injured in two days of protests rock the smallest gassed demonstrators who pelted offices with stones and problems the rest began over the slow pace of prosecution and chanson police officers can use the votes hannity yes
