billion dollars this beer company is holding an annual general meeting on tuesday we'll bring you the latest on that and this is bullets. around the world and around the clock this is r.t. greece has erupted into more civil unrest with thousands of angry protesters flooding the streets that's after parliament's gave the green light to tough new cuts order to secure a further financial lifeline from the e.u. european officials welcomed the move but the greeks could not have been less happy with the pending stereotype they gathered in the center of athens on the second day a general strike for justice threw stones at police smashed windows and set part of property is responding with tear gas and stun grenades the clashes continue the night dozens of recent protesters were injured. many demonstrators were detained
1:02 am
greeks now face twenty eight billion a year worth of cuts and tax rises the condition to a second grader at least without the money greece would default on its nose within weeks of financial journalist richard coffin says unless the government addresses the needs of the people it could have a revolution it sounds. i think a lot of these protests in a lot of these rallies are usually the 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 who actually rode 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 and 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 excited and hope because of the of the response but also there's 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
1:03 am
the government because with these with this type of violence it becomes a much more difficult for them to pass a starting measures and privatization schemes that are widely unpopular in this country according to scholars here in greece will constitutional scholars and former members of the government they claim that the measure complete unconstitutional the first place because you need one hundred eighty members of parliament to pass a sort of legislation first of all second of all they can pass whatever they like but if the people don't agree to it and they 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 you're going to see a fall discovered at some point i said if things really of the violence is a really big issue because if if the violence 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 fall to i don't see the people in this country lying down people are very angry here and a very upset and they understand what's going on and understand these measures are
1:04 am
not going to help them and their future there are a lot of educated people this country a lot of capable people 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 liquidate it for 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. well green campaign is set to hold another. day they saw how the cuts. plans to be implemented but it's greeks cry out against the tough stares the measures it's the germans who tend to bear the brunt of bailing them out knowing marcus clever so secret rescue package as a result of the use fear of contagion. credits and risk we have a bailout for the vision of the european treaty article one hundred twenty five which expresses says that we haven't run into a union or a month or a union without collective our lunch or face to solitary thing there's only so we are really in the case of natural catastrophes i could earthquakes and we crisis in over earthquake it's
1:05 am
a governance problem that for generating these and for greece is a responsibility as a matter of fact as people believe that the greek crisis and i create the contagion to other more you know become the most politicians are afraid of people who are afraid take very very unreasonable decisions the first decision was to allow greece to have very very generous credit last year and a credit to a sovereign country means test as long as the country has will be as a paper. all people have been creditors will remain like risk so we are in a very very dangerous phase of european monetary policy. institutional policy because we have stayed away straight away from good powerful institutional unarmed diversity which is laid down in the treaty and every night again on the ninth and tenth of may under french influence of the european economic. community and in
1:06 am
particular the european monetary union has been redesigned without any good by populations who have consented to giving up the money and i was the germans and very bitterly i. those lawyer marcus kerber the greek bailout is actually outside egypt stiction. well that's not only greece that seeing massive civil unrest in the u.k. more than half a million public sector workers are set to protest against government plans to change their pensions and freeze pay many schools will be closed and transport is rightly severely affected as workers embark on a one day strike to his lower emmet the voices of frustration. down tools are with industrial action and also 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 but the planned reform of their
1:07 am
pensions which they stable see them paying a lot more and getting a lot less we don't think that should be vice the bottom with pensions we think a full service of security retirement let's talk about withdrawing from the pension scheme because they can't force pay the mortgage at the same time as paying for the pensions and people are really angry that time and bankers are making record bonuses yeah guy we're being asked to take attention you know patients to pay more for our pensions reality is we've got to fight who else we're just interested in 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 paul avidly says his one point three million members already prolonged industrial action and we're almost a war footing with court thirty million pain set aside and we've got a strategy work but i must stress that's not what we want to do we want to talk to
1:08 am
the government and negotiate a sensible package nor the 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 fallacy the unions admit public support is fundamental to having a successful strike action the government is very unlikely to change its mind about reform if the public at large doesn't back the unions but that's by no means assured public sector workers do already get very generous pensions in the. cost of this pensions is very much to the carpets and the burden falls on for the next generation it really is absolutely essential the public sector pensions reform the need after they are reforms public sector workers will get for the pensions and first private sector workers the unions want to apply enough pressure to force the
1:09 am
government to change its mind and it's no stranger to you it was hell bent on reforming the health service too and senate decided to take longer to think about it causing friction in the coalition the government's doing this to reduce the current fifty billion dollars pension bill but it may be cutting off its nose to spite its face that the white issue here according to the u.k. pension fund you can bet that if they let me in public back to work if no don't think that pensions are what while they may stop the ship you think that that was a widespread withdrawal pepsin funds would collapse and that would leave u.k. p.-l. the very shores of investment just what it means more than ever begins we'll be tracking that but is the government listening to your am it hot seat. of the scale of the walkouts me k. hasn't been seen for decades they say we hear from british trade unity that what's
1:10 am
what he says if the government fails to take notice this time people will return to protest an even greater numbers. having three quarters of a million people from four different unions on strike something happens hasn't happened in this country for decades it's the start not the finish of the government is if they try to ignore will 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 realise the working people the length and breadth of the u.k. i'm 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 so you want to go see when they could be millions of people to construct. the 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 prolifically very powerful we've already seen in
