9:02 am
a greek prime minister today he's been talking to the federation of industry. he's going to be meeting with the german chancellor later today we've heard him saying that he thinks his country can get out of this crisis in much the same that we heard friends who he's been saying that they're behind greece trying to rebuild confidence but they haven't actually proposed any measures now here in athens that's with some skepticism because remember we've been here before and what we're seeing now is once again greece is really being taken to the brink on the streets here in athens would you see the protests the day parliament's going to be voting on a bill to pass by even even more seriously this is a very unpopular property tax that's being discussed in parliament is still a little bit kids are going to prevent people who turning out on the streets to protest it is not even a case anymore of whether they want to pay this money they simply can't pay it's
9:03 am
being taxed on top of tax very very strict austerity measures no he's speaking to analysts here on the ground he said really default for the country's been on the cards for a long long time this is not something the e.u. leaders are willing to talk about in the april of the move that's certainly what the feeling is here that maybe nothing's now sorry you've been on the ground in greece for a while now covering this story what's the general view there about the possibility of greece defaulting what's the feeling like. despite the very public line is we stand for in. greece is absolutely not going to exit the usa if i'm not strong language they wouldn't be allowed the tool kit is not an exit in necessarily certainly but at the poles is a very realistic possibility right now he said it's described as one of the worst kept secrets especially something the most people hear things going to happen it would just be a case of exactly how nothing people are saying that we supposed to be able to do
9:04 am
it its way no controls the polls but quite possibly the game to know what we're going to see isn't buying themselves time that's what we've been told that this is next tranche of money that should be coming greece's way the baby eurozone leaders haven't said whether they're going to release it or not eight billion euros to greece needs to stay in place and the people here are saying that that is going to happen at some point the not necessarily increasing interest of the e.u. to be so in control of the situation in this place he said growing public anger very similar feeling here that maybe on this point worryingly the last time we were back here in the summer when they said very poor violent protests erupted even already today there's not a huge turnout numbers it's gets ready for very very tense we see a very large number of riot police on the ground so very tense or outbreaks between the riot police in the protesters there here at the moment we've had later on this
9:05 am
evening a lot of people expected to turn out on certain types and again like we said we're here again we see the leaders trying to implement these measures the simply not effective and people are now saying let's be rational let's be realistic right now once again the greek people feeling that really they've reached breaking through these cases many thanks that r.t. sara for speaking to us live there from athens. well here is a leaders are reportedly planning to use the region's bailout as he always full falls apart leading european business journalist believes that will be the end of it johana van overtveldt told me that greece will almost inevitably export its financial troubles. is imminent i mean the situation in portugal in ireland is well known the goal is i think in the worst shape than ireland but of course the big question with respect to the future of the euro zone is what will happen and
9:06 am
spain and italy because being announced are that much higher and of the needs to intervene is there for much more than huge benefits with respect to the resort for gold if you're really then in the only other ball game a board game in which for example germany and certainly be very doubtful the way well if we only look at greece i think it would be a very good thing for greece to leave the euro zone and since greece is only a very small part of the eurozone one can kind of it seems like the greek exit in an orderly way if it is done this order. chaos within the euro zone i think and i'm fully convinced that an exit of the of greece from the euro zone is from a picnic monetary point of view perfectly doable it only takes a little bit of. a do it and it would solve a lot it to a large extent a nice problem still needs more exports and more. to
9:07 am
regain some economic growth if cannot find growth weed out the major devaluation of the currency which in this case that greece leaves the euro zone. well that was overbuilt editor in chief of belgium's leading business magazine on how he thinks greece a kind of scape collapse. to other news now the u.n. security council for spain further debate on the palestinian statehood bid until wednesday that is the united states presses members to not rush their decision in order to allow peace talks with israel to resume all avoiding an is a national conversation and we report now explains. what the palestinians would need would be nine out of fifteen of the security council members to support this application no vetoes but the us president barack obama did state last week when he was addressing the general assembly that the only way there could be an independent
9:08 am
palestinian state is through direct negotiations and and peace talks between israelis and palestinians washington said it would cast a veto if it had to but let's remember that u.s. credibility and influence in the middle east is at stake here u.s. president barack obama has been seen supporting the so-called arab spring the tunisians the libyans the egyptians and so for the u.s. to cast a veto now against the aspirations of the palestinians would be as some critics have said hypocritical the palestinians do have another option and that would be to take the vote before the general assembly where they do have the majority of support that would only raise palestine's status at the u.n. to observer state a nonmember observer state they would be able to file lawsuits at the international criminal court and participate in many forums but at this point it is stuck within
9:09 am
the security council with washington pressing very hard for the palestinians to back down and not with them in a position to custody to a palestinian envoy riad monsoor addressed the media following day one of security council consultations here's a bit of what he had to say we all know in the security council this is this is an exercise in which there will be a tremendous pressure but so the number of countries on members of the security council but we've crossed that we have many friends in the council and the relationship between us and our friends is a solid relationship and. the polls. they do justice for the. palestinian president mahmoud abbas said he would return to negotiations only only if israel and its settlement construction since that has
9:10 am
not been since the statement made by the quartet did not include that then the president of palestine said that there is no point in talking so while the international community is trying to come together right now to get both sides back to the negotiation table it seems that the palestinians are really driven and determined to decide the fate of their country so they come here on a my way or the highway tough words from russia's president as he signs the finance minister say vital military money is not up for discussion and anyone who thinks differently can also go now. to the beautiful bees this become a blessing for the islanders of spitsbergen in the arctic good all good things come out of hostile tell reality. the u.k. has been trying hard to reduce its step of the spending cuts of course and growing numbers of people out of work now it's emerged that what few job vacancies there
9:11 am
all are growing almost exclusively to immigrants who are taking ninety percent of all vacancies. bennett explains. jaymes amongst the growing ranks of unemployed he's been trying to find a job in social housing since may the competition is fierce that follows it's agencies that work for each job so you just find that you know looks like is about for you they will get shortlisted a better look at salaries slightly less you know maybe going to go out to college and maybe do some parts on unemployment's now it's eight percent the highest for fifteen years but no matter how hard jamie tries the odds are stacked against him job centers like this one helped fill one hundred eighty thousand new vacancies in the last twelve months but only eight percent of those works of british workers at foreign nationals more successful in the job market nine times out of ten reversing that trend was a key election pledge of the new government promising to slash immigration but
9:12 am
a year on its only increased migration was nearly a quarter of a million last year up to twenty percent on two thousand and nine and britain second biggest annual total ever way off the government's five figure target probably over promising given restrictions that they face it didn't make sense to bring the number down to an arbitrary level relation been having a more honest debate about the limits on what they could do the government claims its target can be met by capping normally you immigration but that ignores how mostly coming from within the e.u. the restrictions don't apply entry numbers for eastern europeans rose by eight times in the last year alone as they continue to cash in on the open borders as are likely going to be measures of pronounced target and not come close. as i would like them to be to further measures are necessary for others the problem lies at
9:13 am
home pretty patel's an m.p. and from an immigrant family herself she knows what it takes to. succeed here it says most don't i go back to thirty forty years ago and you've seen immigrants come to this country all they wanted to is they want to work hard and get on in life they really do their families think about eccentric search or you know new days gone past we used to have a tremendous british work ethic in this country we really did i think we could take to be lost some of it was easy to see that at the job center where most i mean it will migrant workers the problem is that a lot of the basics but i got used to not doing a minimum wage jobs in the low paid work so they need to be forced into taking the jobs the government claims it's now doing just that it says we are reforming the welfare system to ensure that we end the benefit dependency which is track so many people finally ensure workplace that was the long term unemployed can be forced to
9:14 am
look for jobs there's no guarantee they'll get them coming back to the immigration problem is the government simply can't keep my billet. london. now to me that i'm a very as a certain that whoever disagrees of presidential policy should look for another job which is exactly what happened to the now former finance minister who he sacks on monday alexei kruger and said he just couldn't a word hundred new governments have been better became prime minister in a future we shuffle out the top piece all of it takes up the story. well since president medvedev came to power there were certain areas of the country ditties earmarked for spending in improvement things like improvements to the prisons the armed forces now some of the spending policies here to have been in disagreement to water lakes he couldn't thaws and that's why he lost his job on monday now president dmitri medvedev has on tuesday robustly defended his spending policies
9:15 am
saying that this defense spending in particular was crucial to the development of russia when you more from the way we can do with defense spending and the spending should be worthy of russia not some banana republic where a big country with a permanent member of the u.n. security council may have nuclear weapons much more an increase in spending for the defense budget arms and salaries for military personnel will be the government's top priority and whoever disagrees with. just well could really clearly did disagree with us and now he will be looking for work elsewhere this all really came to a head the catalyst for it being the announcement they flatter me of putin will run for the presidency in twenty twelve and then he would put forward to me to be made yet of as his prime minister this sparks could in to say it's he couldn't work with . to be treated as prime minister g two spending policies debt is in turn issued an ultimatum to could in saying i think get on board or get out and tell your
