of greece as parliament votes for higher taxes and yet more job cuts claiming it's the only way to pull the country out of its financial quagmire. and more strikes hit another part of the news as the u.k. braces itself for more than half a million teachers and civil servants voicing their anger against the government's massive cutbacks. busway look at whether the new head of the pentagon will end the wars that flourished for the outgoing secretary of defense robert gates. from a business desk gazprom may increase its investment program to record forty four billion dollars this year the company's holding an annual general meeting on tuesday we'll bring you the latest from that our business bulletin.

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 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 but the greeks could not have been less happy with the pending. they gathered in the center of athens on the second day of a general strike protesters threw stones at police rushed windows and set part of property police responded with tear gas and stun grenades in the clashes continue the night dozens of recent protesters were injured while many demonstrators were detained greeks now face twenty eight billion a year worth of cuts and tax rises precondition to a second bailout least without the money greece would default on its loans within weeks of natural journalist in the tree coffin 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 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 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 that fear 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 pass a starting measures and privatization schemes that are widely unpopular in this country according to scholars here in greece for 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 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 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 you're going to see a fall discovered at some point i've 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 that government have to fall to i don't see the people in this country lying down people are very angry here and they're very upset and they understand what's going on and then are 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 people living outside of greece who want to come back to this country because they love it and they're not about the see it get liquidated 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 greek campaign is set to hold another late on thursday and its side. now the cuts are going to be implemented but

it's greeks cry out against the tough austerity measures it's the germans who are going to bear the brunt of bailing them out marcus as the greek rescue package is a result of the e.u.'s fear of contagion sutton's credits is at risk. we have a bailout probation in the european treaty article one hundred twenty five which expresses says that we have a monterrey union one to a union without collective financial officer solidarity there's only so we are ready in case of natural catastrophes like earthquakes the reprisals and all the earthquake it's a governance problem it's generated by the senate greece's responsibility so as a matter of fact as people believe that the greek crisis might create a contagion to other more developed the commies politicians are afraid of people who are afraid taking very very unreasonable decisions the first decision was to

allow greece to have a very generous credit last year and a credit to a sovereign country means just as long as some country has will be imposed as a paycheck to credit all people who have been creditors will remain at risk so we are in a very very dangerous phase of european monetary policy. institutional policy because we have stayed away straight away from the institutional unama divert which is laid down in the treaty and overnight in on the ninth and tenth of may under the french influence of the european economic. community and in particular the european monetary union has been redesigned without any vote by the populations who have consented to giving up the money amongst those the germans and very bitterly i feel . those lawyer marcus kerber arguing the greek bailout is actually outside egypt stiction. it'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 likely to be severely affected as workers embark on a one day strike tees lower emmet the voices of frustration. down tools are with industrial action and autumn 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 that should be vice the bottom with pensions we think. of security retirement people talk about withdrawing from the pensions game because they can't afford to pay the mortgage at the same time as paying for that kind of chance and people are really angry that time and bankers and making michael bonuses

the i guy we're being asked to take a punch in our pensions to pay more for our pensions the reality is we've got to fire the rest were just interest 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 abil a says his one point three million members already a prolonged industrial action where almost fourteen we've got thirty million pain set aside and we've got a strategy work but i must strangers that's not what we want to do we want to talk to the government and negotiate a sensible package nor the ridiculous package they're proposing 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 salary the unions admit public support is fundamental to having a successful strike action the government is 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 sector workers do already get very generous pensions in the. the cost of those pensions is very much the culprit and the burden falls on to the next generation the great is absolutely essential that public sector pensions reformed and 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 it's no stranger to you it was hell bent on reforming the health service too until it decided to take longer to think about it causing friction in the coalition the government is doing this to reduce the current fifty billion dollar pension bill but it may be cutting off its nose to

spite its face that the wider issue here according to the u.k. pension fund you can bet that if they wanted me in public that to work if no don't think that pensions are what while they may still contributing to that if that was so widespread we told pension funds would collapse and that would leave u.k.p. i would be very sure with that investment just what it means more than ever begins we'll be correcting that but is the government listening you know we're at it. well the scale of the walkouts in the u.k. hasn't been seen for decades later we hear from british trade union. he says if the government fails to take notice this time people will return to protest and even greater numbers. having three quarters of a million people from four different unions on strike is something that happens hasn't happened in this country for decades it's the start not the finish to 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 that 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 won't 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 stride. 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 pro lexically 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 march can do that our view is well what could strikes actually do. i dare you to watch the full interview with british trade you know the the loss of what karen just over now started here not. but it's coming your way shortly tensions are still

a shift that some say can only lead to more destruction of. the united states has increased the intensity of the focus on pakistan in terms of drone strikes that is remotely piloted vehicles while targeting terrorists the us has been criticized for killing mostly 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 and i am 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 a third of its troops by the end of next year many afghans fear that less troops doesn't mean less bombs dropped on their homes as the u.s. steps up aerial strikes in the region the possibility of waging a war without having to justify the deaths so the marriage. troops has become more
