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 going to see a fall discovered at some point i said if things it 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 assume the 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 there's a report that the head of the pharmaceutical national pharmaceutical station here in greece is going to be filing a lawsuit along with other people against the government for use of illegal substances because these weren't just it was just tear gas there were other chemicals and including us fixating agents and that's why you see a lot of people here i saw them myself and a lot of people other people saw them passing out not being able to breathe people inside the metro station not being able to breathe

a lot before the hospital for that reason people are very angry here and they're very upset and they understand what's going on and then these measures are not going to help them and their future. the fear that the u. catchword how it was backed up by critics of the bailout who argue that big money will be used to pay or buying so not how the people of greece. play. on the streets of athens the voices of discontent growing louder. it's a war we did not create this tour we're going to pay for this bill we want to be called large but as greece continues the fight against economic ruin the second bailout. and a chance to prevent greece from defaulting on its previous lame payments. people will be seeing a penny. of money actually comes into the greek economy it all goes out. the battles on save the banks and prevent

a large scale financial crisis for people the price is simply too high they see their income going down they see taxes taxes taxes and nothing else their money does not go to the real economy here is struggling against partial stares he measures government now faces an electorate opposed to another bailout a lot of people are asking when the troika that the i.m.f. european central bank and the e.u. provided this still to the tune of one hundred ten billion euros to look past the bailout and move on to plan b. because the court agreed to manage another bailout package in cable for a lot of people is that they are realistic. that when it comes to the troika many people now in greece simply don't want to help actions is being born as a stealth interest rate. to get passed much as.

they are going to get. i mean very. almost everything. that would certainly come as a high cost for the cuts in public spending raising taxes and in the quest of privatization. program it would mean the sale of many great public assets one of the reasons that everybody is so determined to keep greece in the euro is so that the banks don't have to take a serious hit of their faulty lending policies is almost as if the other holy alarms of politicians and bankers versus ordinary people it's a fight that the people say they're not prepared to lose. r.t. athens. greece was not the only country grieved by approaches this week as u.k. public sector workers went on strike on thursday disrupting schools afterwards and other services hundreds of thousands of union members took part demanding

a conservative liberal coalition government thinks that pensions slashes eighty billion pounds to one hundred and thirty billion dollars from public spending after he's a lawyer and that reports. down tools up with industrial action and autumn of discontent starts here this time it's the 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 likely to make me. get if i work for me it will be well educated fifty a week to fix the changes that i make it a pension or very necessary to this way to address it so i think we do need to make cutbacks in things happening. in the private teacher which is why so much of it is

through 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 tipsy chief paul babbly says his one point three million members already a prolonged industrial action we're almost a war footing we've got thirty million time 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 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 thousand the unions admit public support is fundamental 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 a short public service workers do already get very generous pensions and the cost of this pensions is very much written to the cop it turns the burden falls on to the next generation it really is absolutely essential that public sector pay. reform the new even after there is a picture actually workers will get far better pensions and less present such workers the unions want to apply enough pressure to force the government to change its mind and it's no stranger to you 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 face that the white issue here according to the u.k. pension fund fugitive if you wanted me public to work if no don't pick back pensions what while it made me stop contributing to that if there was

a widespread with julian epstein fund would collapse and that would leave u.k. p.l.c. very short of investment just what it needs it more than ever your average party loved it. and political answer is chris knight says that bankers are to blame for the state of britain's finances but if public resistance continues it could threaten the government. what's happening here is that a crisis caused by bankers. the politicians or their pocket is what they're those politicians are making us pay as if. hard working teachers hard working civil servants hardworking lecturers and i know there's a responsible for this crisis we all know that's not true so let's deal with it let's deal with the problem at its roots let's crack down on what i regard as actually electoral fraud and and criminal activity we have already seen that discovered is actually very weak i mean nobody voted for it that's for to start with and it has already made a couple u.

turn so we definitely think we can force a u. turn on this one and what's going to happen of course is that it's not going to just white collar workers we're building towards looks as if the government doesn't back down to pay for something it was something an absolutely enormous we're building towards something we haven't seen in this country since ninety twenty six a general strike and that's going to be very powerful and the government will will will will fall if it comes to that. this is coming out the you know also international monetary fund transfer is elected as the new head of the spot in concerned that fund could remain worked in the room. to find out why the demolition of a religious monument in ukraine loads of blood into his. nato says it's increasing airstrikes in western libya where rebels say they are advancing fire into territories that colonel gadhafi is forces still control the alliance says that as trite so i aimed only at military targets but thousands of people have fled from their homes in fear meanwhile turkey followed

two civilians and there is no t.v. in this area and as we can see. it has also been disrupted. there is no water and no to. what used to be heaven this man says has become hell it was home now suzanne for me here. i have nine children and i send them all to my relatives abroad i don't want them to see their motherland in such a condition. from the small pol pot from dr even gas used to flow to europe. we used to produce field to send to them you know see they destroy it all this is terrible and ridiculous at the same time the closer you get to the front line the more you feel it you can hear the war and you can even read it on the jews leaflets just before the bombers arrive. this one says as you can see the reason sign here

in arabic nato is here leave it to in force and i'll fly zone over the country to protect civilians on the other side there is another sign also in arabic saying that nato can attack any place at any time. any time happened three times over several hours while we were feeling really good neighbors major cities where the frontline rise divided the country into two parts into to see where one side is going to put one flashpoint within the rubble of this whole system it's a very important point to to quote case getting a firm handle on this town would mean taking control over the country's economy although you seem to be a rare target. never land on. population can hardly scape. they were like my family that had just gone to the shop to buy some foods and this happened six of them died i couldn't believe it and this used to be

nato member. so are lifting arms to the country francis says the framework of the resolution allows for all means when it comes to protecting peaceful civilians something russia calls an abuse of the vague wording of the document. but the actually solution one hundred seventy three contains chapter four which allows anyone to do anything this very chance it was the cause of our problems with the mandate and all other aspects we support it and as we have warned now we're facing a rather unpleasant situations when it can be interpreted in most different ways i think moscow and paris and other u.n. security council members are interested for the body to release concise documents to the international law does not need to put up with ambiguity. the african union is calling on member states trigger nor their arrest warrant issued in the hague this week against colonel gadhafi if they're going to doesn't abide by the international criminal court's request the libyan leader would be able to evade

prosecution by staying in neighboring countries and his exclusive interview of colonel gadhafi his son was also wanted for war crimes crimes and save our is lancers the warrant is a sham after nato has a chance to kill him and his family. this. is it is that is if you can ask or come on the accuse me of killing people over it would be normal the sentence against the earth is a chemical a capital punishment so they decided to kill him and from the and they did kill my brother and it is two in the house so this is nice to execute you so no you gotta go wild irish to me the humans are going to kill me and you after we had flown to confine the other community and with other so is the world number two just to tell you that the supreme court a little while they are trying to negotiate with us a deal today if you accept this deal we will look at it of the court what is new it
