9:05 pm
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 of this governor at some point i said if things go 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 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 governments have to fall too 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 the hospital for that reason people are very angry here and a very upset and they understand what's going on and then are sent these measures
9:06 pm

9:07 pm
their income going down they see taxes taxes taxes and nothing else their money does not go to very early corner me here is struggling against harsh austerity measures has meant the government now faces an electorate opposed to another bailout that's been lost and people are asking when the troika the i.m.f. european central bank and the e.u. that provided that initial to the tune of one hundred ten billion euros we're going to look past the bad and move on to plan b. because the thought the quest to manage another bailout package and pay back that loan for a lot of people they are realistic is that when it comes to the troika many people now in greece simply don't want to help their actions is being born as a self-interest try. to get as much as they. get out the they're going to get all this they. i mean.
9:08 pm
they are going to give almost everything in the bailout would certainly come as a high cost for the cuts in public spending raising taxes and an aggressive privatization program that would mean the sales many greek 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 on their faulty lending policies. there's a holy alarm of politicians and bankers versus ordinary people it's a fight that the people say they're not prepared to. athens. and greece was not the only country gripped by approaches this week as u.k. public sector workers went on strike on thursday disrupting schools apples and other services hundreds of thousands of union members took part demanding the conservative liberal coalition government rethinks plans to cut their pensions as

9:10 pm
ball babble a says his one point three million members already a prolonged industrial action and we're almost a war footing we've got 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 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 salary 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 sector workers do already get very generous pensions and the cost of
9:11 pm
those pensions is very much of a cop it's and the burden falls on to the next generation a great is absolutely essential that public sector pain. reform didn't even after they're reformed public sector workers will get better pensions and this by the church 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 a 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 to pay a part of me public sector work you know don't think that pensions are what while they may stop the ship you think that if there was a widespread withdrawal pension funds would collapse and that would leave u.k.p. i would be very short of investment just what it means that more than ever your
