jumps to. the job she lives on the. video on demand she's my old cars. and streets now in the palm of your. wishes on the job calm. thousands rage on the streets of greece as part of the votes for higher taxes and yet more job cuts claiming it's the only way to pull the country out of its financial quagmire. the more strikes hit another part of the e.u. the u.k. braces itself three quarters of a million teachers and civil servants voicing their anger against the government's massive cutbacks. plus we look at whether the new head of the pentagon and the war stuff that most of the outgoing secretary of defense robert gates. are business does russian equity market opened higher with energy and banking stocks among the

main gate as germany for details and markets take in about forty minutes from now. on their online twenty four hours a day welcome to what brits has erupted into more civil unrest with thousands of angry protesters flooding the streets south of parliament's gave the green darts to tough new cuts and wanted to secure a further financial lifeline from the e.u. european officials welcomed the move but greeks could have been less happy with the paintings there to think gathered in the center of our friends on the second day of the general strike if this is true so there is a police stash the windows and separate according to police responded with tear gas and stun grenades clashes continue overnight with dozens of policemen testes were injured many of them. states with the taint weeks now face twenty eight they leave

you with cuts. and conditions in a sense least the money we sweep the whole time it's no one week's financial. mess since governments addresses the needs of people like revolution it's times i think 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 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 excited and hope because of the the response but also there's a there's a concern and a 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 cause i started measures and privatization schemes that are widely unpopular in this country or to others here resort 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 the 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 have 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 they're very upset and they understand what's going on and understand 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 to see it get liquidated first some for some morsel of bread and some islands in the aegean that might have natural gas underneath that's not going to happen. agree canopies a set to hold another vote place on thursday decide how the cuts are going to be implemented what is greeks cry out against the toughest thirty misha's since the germans were going to bear the brunt of rain out here because this is the greek whiskey packaged as a result of eve fear of contagion credits and risk. we have a bail out probation and we're in treaty article one hundred twenty five which expresses says that we have in monterrey union i'm wondering you know without collective financial or fiscal solidarity there's only so in every case of natural catastrophes like earthquakes the greek crisis in order to create it's a governance problem it's generated by police and it's greece's responsibility so

as a matter of fact as people believe the greek crisis and create a contagion to other more you know economies politicians are afraid people who are afraid take very very unreasonable decision of the first decision was to allow greece to have a very generous credit last year credit to a sovereign country means as long as the sovereign country hasn't been imposed has not paid take the credit or people 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 far institutional norm diversity which is laid down in the treaty and overnight again on the ninth and tenth of may under french influence of the european economic your community and integrity of the european monetary union has been redesigned without any very good by the

populations who have consented to giving up the money amongst those germans and their will and very bitterly i think. marcus occur but there are two in the greek bailout is actually outside egypt stiction. though it's not only greece that seeing massive civil unrest in the u.k. around three quarters of a million public sector workers said to protest against government is to change their pensions and freeze pay many schools will be closed during transport is likely to meet some really affected his workers and bark when they strike ati's reports. down tools up with industrial action and autumn of discontent starts here as the u.k. braces for a wave of strikes not seen a 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 it should be wasted votes in the functions we think if

one deserves to have security written on and it took 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 bank isn't making a complaint says yeah ok we're being asked to take a pension in uk asians to pay more for pensions relatives we've got support the rest which is that 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 babbly says his one point three million members already for prolonged industrial action we're almost at war fourteen we've caught thirty million planes set aside and week or 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 and 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 thousand the unions admit public support is fundamental to having a successful strike action 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 sector workers do already get very generous pensions in the. the cost of those pensions is very much under the carpet and the burden falls on for the next generation it really is absolutely essential that public sector pensions reformed and even after they are reformed public sector workers will get far better pensions and most private sector workers the unions want to apply enough pressure to force the government to change its mind and it's no stranger to huge turns 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's doing this to reduce the current fifty billion dollar pension bill but it may be cutting off its nose to spite its faced the wider issue here according to the u.k. pension you can get a lot of me if public sector work if no don't think that what while they may get stuck if you think that if that was your wife right with pension funds would collapse and that would leave you k. p.l.o. the very shores of investment just what it needs it more than ever the unions will be fretting that but is the government lists named lorette hearty love that. well the scale of the walkouts in the u.k. hasn't been seen for decades later we hear from british trade union locks walk up and says if the government fails to take notice this time it will return to protest an even greater numbers. having three quarters of

a million people from four different unions on strike something to have this hasn't happened in this country for decades it's the start not the finish our message to the government is if they try to ignore we come back in the autumn 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. 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 see just when they are in a chart with a few people in a room is one thing saying you want to go see it when there could be millions of people. the construction is entirely another 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 politically very powerful and already seen in the march of one hundred or five hundred thousand people three months ago transform the political mood in this country full of remarks can be our river walk or strikes

actually do. i think watch the full interview with the british trade union the that works worker in just over an hour's time gati. but coming your way shortly tensions are still high over the only way to change in egypt little yet again is all in point the stars of protesters accusing the interim government over the uk of action deaths one least during the recent. current history repeating itself and find out about the hardships of people forcibly displaced there was nothing to get back to when they to plant. for almost five years has been the ballot the help of a u.s. military response before billions of dollars in the for the pentagon's kompas in washington now that secretary of defense robert gates is retiring even behind three

wars an ever growing defense budget director of the cia stephanie to his shoes critics doubt they'll be much change in the president's course on the kitchen counter. whoever's in the white house in the pentagon it's business as usual robert gates was secretary of defense to two 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 the inconclusive campaign levy when 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 the gusher has been turned off

and will stay off the u.s. is supposed to leave iraq by the end of the year but it seems that bad line is not final he gives all kinds of contradictory statements for instance not long ago he said that anyone who advise is for us a land army in the middle of an aging conflict should have his head examined yet at the same time. he's done everything you can he's flown over several times to baghdad to leave with nouri al maliki government to please please u.s. soldiers day after the deadline at the end of this year the pentagon says they expect the iraqi government will ask them to stay beyond their scheduled december thirty first departure date but with the announced troop withdrawals from iraq and afghanistan the u.s. started actively waging a different kind of warfare what they call and intelligent war one that's waged

with drones without sacrificing the lives of their soldiers in countries like pakistan yemen and libya and. many say that's the major shift that happened in military operations under robert gates a shift that some say can only lead to more destruction of. the united states has increased the intensity of the focus on the students and you drone strikes those are not the only vehicles while targeting carries the u.s. has been criticised for killing mostly civilians it's also making us less secure from a policy standpoint we can intervene over the world it just fuels insurgency needs and fuels and i am american and always say the deaths of thousands of civilians in afghanistan are part of the reason why the u.s. has fielded 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. that stop aerial strikes in the region but possibility of waging a war without having to justify their deaths so the american proposals 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 that trend is on my plate can change i'm going to shut down reporting from washington our team. egypt's interim leadership and spacing the strain with renewed violence on the streets officials have ordered the probe into clashes in cairo and said left more than a thousand people injured during two days of protests police moved to a gas dispersed and straight to his post offices a stone's throw from the forms of the rest of the slow pace of constitution scenery

of the people who are actually protecting them still there at the ministry of interior the problem here is these new forces in egypt the young intellectuals the unemployed the contractor the first generation it's really duration they still don't have the political participation organized as well the fact is that the loose the brotherhood is already very well organized even do a progressive streak of the muslim brotherhood is splintering and forming their own political party because this is a younger muslim brotherhood people think that the old generation is too conservative and that's absolutely true. if you missed something we've been covering you know with spying on like come on years and years of their futures. mania. privacy by taking place but it seems that airports down is a health risk is new. information. and
