very warm welcome to you this is archie line from moscow angry greeks a gathering in athens to protest against a new set of government cuts which are expected to whilst next month while the measures are needed to secure the next vital bailout installment prime minister george popper and drays in germany to convince his main lender that greece is on the right try to reduce its crippling debt sarah ferguson asons forces cross over to her life. the greek people are happy about more and more cars being pushed on the mall they how are they responding to but there was also a part of clubs. in those grubby years lee. would. allow. the doors of the day and they're saying they're really reaching breaking point head now we're on syntagma square and this is where most of the protest action has happened so far outside the part of the building at the moment you can see that
11:02 am
just the beginnings of the greeks gathering with their flags and it's thought that later on today as well we're going to see a lot more gathering to there's a little bit of concern about the tension that we're feeling at the moment because as he said the prime minister george happened he's in berlin holding talks today at they've also been trying to push the measure three parliament another all star team measure that's a very unpopular. property taxes going on here say there's been a definite tension here today amongst the people that we've spoken to just along from syntagma square you've got the finance and economics building in the background there and earlier on today what we saw down on the streets were the roads being stopped we saw a huge number of riot police turning out people were parking their bikes in the middle of the right very large number of people what they were there to protest were as he said these austerity measures that they said is simply not working so at the moment we're waiting to see really it's. ok how this plays out tonight the
11:03 am
certainly concern because i quit once again in the situation a very desperate situation where they're trying to push us thirty measures through that the people say they simply cannot afford now as you've been saying sara greece has been trying to convince germany's main lender that it is worthy of yet more bailout cash talk us through the ways that the country's been trying to avoid default. what we've heard again today very positive rhetoric coming from the u.s. a new leader. the german chancellor and prime minister of greece to his pipe and today saying that they think we can get through the crisis that jenny is going to be behind the skepticism here on the ground really meeting these comments people are saying that they fired all of this before and in fact contrary to what germany's say that you know that behind me to. get out of this place a lot of the sense they can do here is that actually really buying themselves some
11:04 am
time to see how this plays out now because again with these austerity measures we've seen them happen before in the year it's a leaders haven't made a decision yet on whether to release that eight billion euros cash injection that greece is going to need to stay in place but it's still that they will at some point we've seen this before it again these austerity measures simply haven't worked here unemployment being great we see tax upon types and these people are saying that it's not a case of them not wanting to pay any more that they simply can't say as he said really growing discontent at the moment and some quite disturbing testimonials from a lot of the people here he said that in a contrast to what we seem to protest in the summer when the police were reacting to violence from the more extreme parts of the protest in recent weeks we saw on sunday police using take us a little outside here and sometimes with the police might actually be reacting quite aggressively to this day that there is the awareness that people have feeling
11:05 am
extremely angry at these measures so a very tense situation at the moment all right sara many thanks for the update on life for us in our. well eurozone leaders are of course in the planning to boost the region's bailout facility almost fourfold bought a leading european business journalist believes that that won't be the end of it johan van overtveldt told me earlier that greece will always inevitably exit sports its financial troubles. contagion is imminent i mean the situation in portugal in ireland is well known portugal is i think in worse shape than ireland but of course the big question with respect to the future of the euro zone is what will happen to spain and italy because here the amounts are that much higher and the need to intervene is that much more huge then it is with respect to real portugal you're
11:06 am
really then in a totally other ball game a ball game in which for example germany would certainly be very doubtful to go it all the way well if we only look at greece i think it would be a very good thing for greece to leave the eurozone and since greece is only a very small part of the eurozone one can do the kind of exit the greek exit in an orderly way if it is done this orderly it would chaos within the entire eurozone i think and i'm fully convinced that an exit of the of greece from the euro zone is from a technically monetary point of view perfectly doable it only takes a little bit of coolness to do it and it would solve a lot it to a large extent greece's problems too it needs more export and more import competitiveness to regain some economic growth it cannot find growth without the major devaluation of the currency which in this case would mean that
11:07 am
greece leaves the euro zone. or that was you have a valve editor in chief of belgium's leading business magazine on how he thinks greece can escape. moving on now to syria government troops have reportedly stormed to keep the station town after pelting it overnight with heavy machine gun fire russia's foreign ministers reiterated that talks all of the solution for peace not small western sanctions he's also been addressing the u.n. general assembly in new york are she's out of the chicken is therefore else that's causing her to say what all foreign minister lover of the big concerns here. well alex as you point out the russian foreign minister sergei lavrov has just wrapped up his speech at the united nations general assembly session a few minutes ago and one of the most important points he made regarding syria was that it's key to let the government and the opposition try to carry out talks let
11:08 am
them talk before any intervention from the outside world take takes place he has said that the government should be given the opportunity to carry out the reforms that they promised and you know the international community should refrain from taking any action until this opportunities given to let syria deal with its own issues to avoid establishing the region even further because he brought up the latest example of libya he reiterated that russia really believes that russia stands against the use of any kind of force against innocent civilians and libya's example has unfortunately showed that actions from the outside world really should take place within the scope of the international law and going behind the scope can hurt innocent civilians so russia is really speaking out against america's approach to call for the syrian president to step down and for sanctions to be implemented at the security council take a listen to what the russian foreign minister said about this earlier. difference but we cannot support the projects that is being pushed through by western
11:09 am
countries and it is among other things to do with the libyan experience we ask what the next try to use how have you calculated your next steps the answer we get is that we haven't thought about it yes president assad needs to go we need to draw you into a corner with sanctions you should go first and then we'll see it's a very simple i believe not very reliable strategy if it could be called a strategy but she. we know that the united states and the european union have implemented unilateral sanctions against syria and have been calling within the united nations security council for the international community including russia of course to join in but it's been made very clear that russia would not support a resolution against syria until syria is actually given a chance to work some of these things out in their own in their own way and on their territory without further sanctions from the international community and none of it is. just spoken to the u.n.
11:10 am
general assembly what else did you bring up the world. well i was different many different issues were certainly addressed but all eyes have been on palestine here in new york at the united nations general assembly and the russian foreign minister has reiterated russia's position really supports palestine's official bid for statehood within the united nations security council and within the united nations and he has welcomed expressed russia's welcome feeling for palestine's wish to participate in further negotiations with negotiations with israel as we know have been stalled and of course to give our viewers a bit of a background like we've been reporting it's been a mean sort of issue of. hard work behind closed doors of the united states has been really working hard to try to prevent palestine from placing this official bid to the security council the palestinian leader mahmoud abbas did go ahead with this and this is something that the united nations security council will officially be considering come wednesday ok many thanks for that. this is it. for us in
11:11 am
new. so. it's my way or the highway tough words from our president as he backs the finance minister saying vital military money is not solve the discussion and anyone who thinks differently can go now. seven the cost of an injured in an exchange of fire between protesters and nato peacekeepers out of a disputed border crossing locals blame the alliance is choose for the shooting but nato says it responded only with rubber bullets and tear gas and self-defense after calls of a service the time the checkpoint tension there increased in august when the cost of and police seized two border crossings in order to impose a bounty on imports from serbia border violence kill one that calls for a policeman on board peacekeeping forces under fire speaking exclusively to r.t.
11:12 am
belgrade's chief negotiator with cost of a says it's an attempt to further isolate the serbs living in the breakaway republic. there is a term to create border between the serbian cause there cannot be a border especially in area in which we hear majority of serbs leaving so there cannot be a border because the administrative line the second thing is that once you put across them officers then you will put a flag then you will put the called of arms then you will put a so-called kosovo laws and then people who live here will be circled by something that looks like. it they simply cannot accept so there has to be a different solution for the specific situation we called for an outcome that we will have a regulation of goods in the north but the tribulation is a status neutral it is without question the customs and then we can move on finding and managing revenue share and what laws will be employed it goes as well for
11:13 am
the whole problem of the north we need to find a solution for. an orbit will be a compromise and they pulled it enable us. to keep our positions on the status of course of all. correspondence in the region have been following developments since the trouble grew at the border last month was there a pool from our web site had some adult. jobs in the u.k. are getting fewer and fewer and it seems the vacancies that all barrow being swept up by no brits immigrants is scooping up a whopping ninety percent of physicians either bennett tells us why. jaymes amongst the growing ranks of unemployed he's been trying to find a job in social housing since may competitions fears that for the six agencies now
11:14 am
working for each job so you just find that you know looks like is about for you they will get short listed of it as look at salaries slightly less you know maybe going to go back to college and maybe do some parts on unemployment is now at 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 went to british workers but 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 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 i think we're probably over promising given the restrictions that they face it didn't
11:15 am
make sense to promise to bring the number down to an arbitrary level we initially been having a more honest debate with the public about the limits on what they could do the government claims its target can be met by capping nor e.u. immigration but that ignores how most are coming from within the e.u. where 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 it's unlikely that a top of the measures are announced that target might come close. likely to meet it so we know for measures are necessary for others the problem lies at home pretty patel's an m.p. and from an immigrant family herself she knows what it take. to succeed here but says most don't i go back to thirty forty years ago and you've seen immigrants come to this country what they wanted to is they want to work hard and get on in life
11:16 am
they really do that all families think about except except sure you know when you days gone past we used to have a tremendous british work ethic in this country we really did i think we've effectively lost some of that was it was easy to see that at the job center where most i'm it were migrant workers the problem is that a lot of the bit haiti but i got used to not doing the minimum paid jobs in the low paid work so i need to be forced into taking these jobs the government claims it's now doing just that it says we are reforming the welfare system to ensure that we in the benefit dependency which is trap so many people and finally ensure work pays but once the long term unemployed can be forced to look for jobs there's no guarantee they'll get them coming back to their immigration promises the government simply can't keep either bennett r.t. london. or the me that are made of errors and thirty that whoever disagrees with a presidential policy should look for another job which is exactly what happened to
11:17 am
the now former finance minister who he sat on monday and it's a group that instead he couldn't work under any government of bed of became prime minister and if you reach the top he's 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 improvement things like improvements in the prisons the armed forces now some of the spending policies appear to have been in disagreement to what alexi could in thought and that's why he lost his job on monday now president dmitri medvedev has on tuesday possibly defended his spending policies saying that this defense spending in particular is crucial to the development of russia when you more we can do without defense spending and the spending should be worthy of russia. we're not some banana republic we're a big country a permanent member of the un security council and we have nuclear weapons that's why an increase in spending for the defense budget arms and salaries for military
11:18 am
personnel will be the government's top priority and whoever disagrees with that can work out. well could really clearly did disagree with darts and now he will be looking for work elsewhere this all really came to a head the catalyst for it being the announcement that flooded me a putin will run for the presidency in twenty twelve and that he would put forward dimitri midgette as his prime minister this could in to say that he couldn't work with. to be traded as prime minister due to spending policies made to get over in turn issued an ultimatum to could do in saying i think get on board or get so intently a resignation that didn't come and he was dismissed from his post late last night after eleven years. across of elements on that story of course as well as call including the actual frosty change itself between the president and the man who was his treasury chief also on live feed today. ok well it's as rough as
