that is all right try to reduce its crippling deficit the problem is to also pleaded for germany's assistance ahead of talks with chancellor merkel as the greek parliament prepares to vote on a new set of cuts needed to secure the next vital bailout installment to sarah ferguson asses for. growing discontent here in athens and the name really we've been speaking to a lot of people today in d.c. in some small protest movements throughout 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 parliament building at the moment you can see that just the beginnings of the greeks gathering with their flags and it's thought that later on today is well we're going to see a lot more gathering to but there's a little bit of concern about the tension that we're feeling at the may 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 this at definite tension here today amongst the people that we've spoken to i just along from syntagma square you've got the finance and economics building in the background that and earlier on today what we saw down on these streets were the raids being stopped we saw a huge number of riot police turning out people were parking their bikes in the middle is the right very large number of people that they were there to protest well as he said these austerity measures that they said are simply not working so now the mayor we're waiting to see really exactly how this plays out tonight at the certainly concerned because i quit once again in the situation a very desperate situation where they're trying to push us thirty measures see that the people say they simply cannot afford very positive rhetoric coming from the u.a.e. saying leader base the german chancellor and the prime minister of greece george patton today saying that they think we can get through the crisis that germany is going to be behind them skepticism. care 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 neighbors behind me. that there's. a lot of dissent making tears it actually is really buying themselves some time to see how this plays out now because again with these austerity measures we've seen them happen before the year is a leaders haven't made a decision yet whether to believe that eight billion euro is cash injection greece is going to need to stay in place at least they will at some point we see this disorder and again these austerity measures simply haven't worked here it will even be good we see tax upon types of these people they're saying that it's not a case of they're not wanting to pay any more they simply can't say as he said really putting discontent at the moment and since quite disturbing testimonials from a lot of the people here he said to enter contrast to we seem to protest in the summer

when the police were reacting to violence friend the more extreme positive the protest is that every recent weeks we saw on sunday police using tear gas a liquid outside harrods intact with the police might actually be reacting quite aggressively to this very day there is the awareness that people have feeling extremely angry at these measures say a very tense situation at the moment. for our correspondent in athens there let's go straight back to athens talk to george kut frugal us he's a lawyer and constitutional law professor in the city mr can trigger strikes have a similar should be going out international i mean we heard today the greek prime minister your prime minister saying talking about your country's superhuman efforts that have been made but it sounds all right well and good but will he succeed at the end of the day in convincing the german chancellor that the vital father should be released to think. well i'm afraid. of measures just in.

falls into the good people sacrifices without any point without any hope of success we are now at the second here of the source through commercials that the state of getting that used. rocket is practically done when we have started this austerity measures at the same time the economy is shrinking and at the same time we have a lot of burden to the poorest to the weakest parts of the population so i don't think that this kind of policy is going to work well here were you saying they would of course one of the key in forces bailing us try to help is the i.m.f. they say that austerity measures and cuts are the only way to go you say they're not working you live in that country. well just in my. speak by themselves when we have entered this austerity measures out of that was at one hundred nine percent of our g.d.p. now it is over one hundred fifty the latest report of i.m.f.

prognosis that is going to be over one hundred eighty nine so what is the success of these measures will germany. germany is again one of those key people trying to help here because to me hasn't put forth any new measures to help your country it says it's going to try and help regain investor confidence but it's so again it's its words how can those words be turned into real practical help and a real confidence boost that actually means something to get your country turned around you confident they can do anything at this stage. where just imagine that the for the first time the government has reported taxation to people that we are below the poverty line how are they going to pay this huge taxation is completely hopeless and i think all of this policy mix that with their own. liberalism fundamentalists with. no liberal affection to the markets i don't think that this is going to work i said if we do not work in argentina i think we need

a completely new set of policies so what do you think about these two trillion dollar latest eurozone package that talking about putting your way putting your country's way does that bring any confidence the toll does it bring any cheer or don't you think that's going to work either. the third time that we're hearing about very secure of our economy the first the words in may of two thousand and ten . of the plan of i.m.f. and the troika then we've got the again i knew a rescue plan at the know where he had an idea about a rescue plan i don't think that people cast any more confidence to this. kind of climbs i think that what we are trying to do is just. to avoid a kind of domino effect with the other. but i don't look at i to protect our economy. just one final one where do you see i mean you don't we were talking about

that two trillion there package there was a pub part of it was set for your country where you're going to go if this doesn't work where do you see your country heading off where is greece going to go within the next twelve months do you think. we're very is not an easy way out for greece. but i think that given a default but that they fall decided by very good government it will just be imposed to us by their foreign lenders would be a better solution because people know we go through your limits over in our government cannot cannot follow its own policy it's just following the guidelines you posed at last and this gave as i told you before have proven to be fruitless just important sacrifices without any hope of worry out george regular of the programs like george patroclus lawyer and constitutional law professor joining us from athens there thank you. focus in on syria now and the government troops there

reportedly stormed a key opposition town after pounding it overnight with heavy machine gun fire russia's foreign ministers reiterated the talks are the solution for peace not more western sanctions he's also been addressing the u.n. general assembly in new york and is to sit churkin is there. wrapping up his visit to the united nations general assembly session here in new york the russian foreign minister sergei lavrov has addressed the united nations general assembly with a speech touching up on many different subjects that are most burning for the international community and syria was certainly at the top of that list 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 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 when it was a difference but we cannot support the project that is being pushed through by western countries and it is among other things to do with the libyan experience we will do next try to use how have you calculated your next steps the answer we get is that we haven't thought about it yet but president assad needs to go we need to draw you into a corner with sanctions 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 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 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 too 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 that it's 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 a that we know have been stalled and of course it's 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 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 once day. still to come on over to you why immigrants to britain doing a good job or of work this is soaking up ninety percent of vacancies there the country's bleak employment market good report of about. my way or the highway tough words for a russia's president as he gives the finance minister his marching orders so vital military money is not up for discussion and anyone who thinks differently can also go. seven kosovan serbs have been injured in an exchange of fire between protesters and nato peacekeepers a disputed border crossing locals blame the alliance's troops for the shooting but nato says it's responded only with rubber bullets and tear gas in self-defense of

the kosovo attack the checkpoint tension that increased in august when kosovo and police seized two border crossings in order to impose a ban on imports from serbia is going to belgrade now showing get the views of canadian documentary make it. boris thanks for being on the program tonight is this cross border trade dispute threatening to descend into something far worse do you think. well at this point it's very important for all sides to refrain from using violence which the serbs have done but but for troops have resorted to violence by firing first rubber bullets a very interior gas at the serbs eventually real bullets into the serbs and then blood has been shed in north coast of a german cave for soldiers are putting barbed wires around entire serb communities and the last time we saw german soldiers pretty barbed wire around communities was in world war two. let me just end this greatly let me just get this straight in my head what did you say there i mean i've been saying nato is saying that they fired rubber bullets you're saying differently. now nato has fired rubber bullets and

into service for soldiers did but this this was done to try to get the serbs to leave from the barricades which they have imposed on. these so-called border across into the really administrative border crossings and and this is this is something that is. escalating the situation over there with. soldiers trying to isolate the community and turn it essentially into a ghetto. is nato at all perceived as part of the problem there by. it's a good question who polices the police in this uni polar world the serbs are hoping that somebody will come to the aid because nato at this point is not really contributing to a peaceful resolution of the problems over there nato is simply pushing ahead with its interests in north closer which are mainly konami. we've already seen armed

conflict albeit with rubber bullets you think this situation is going to get worse was this an isolated incident again i'll put that to you just really want to get your thoughts on it because you're closer to the action it. well it's hard to say whether the situation will get worse but nato has not refrain from using force when needed to push for its interest it does have blood on its hands ever since the needle bombing of serbia in one thousand nine hundred nine and these conflicts are showing that they don't really care what was going to happen to the serbian civilians are unarmed civilians in kosovo that they are going to push ahead no matter what the serbs on the other hand are fighting for their bare existence and they have no choice but to continue pushing forward to have the right to remain where they have lived for centuries i guess depending on which side of the fence you're wrong. you know what your opinion is on either one i guess both corso and

serbia need to resolve their issues before either can try to move forward with plans like for the recognition or you membership since august both of them seem to step back no. well first of all like the differentiated course always serbian there is no difference that is how people here perceive it but in pristina governments are trying to establish so-called good relations and this is a prerequisite for joining european and the european union and this is definitely a step backward but on the other hand ever since this requirement has been imposed to to establish good relations it is been more in the sense that serbia should accept everything that the international community thinks is a porton in regards to kosovo while the coastal beans are getting more of a free ride but both sides should should really think about where this is going and try to solve things in a peaceful way because people here really need peace we've had enough of war we

just want to live peacefully but if the international community is supporting just one side it's very hard to reach a reasonable agreement ok seven canadian documentary maker boris thanks ever so much for taking the time out to be on the programs appreciate it jobs in the u.k. getting fewer and fewer it seems the vacancies are there but they're being swept up by normal brits immigration immigrants scooping up a whopping ninety percent of positions we found out i have a bennett report. jaymes amongst the growing ranks of unemployed he's been trying to find a job in social housing since may but competitions fears that for the six agencies now 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 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 help fill one hundred eighty thousand new vacancies in the last twelve months but only eight percent of those went to british workers with 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 it's only increased net 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 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.

we're 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 will meet that target and might come close but it is unlikely to me to refer to 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 takes 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 they really do that all families think about except except sure you know new day's gone past three years have a tremendous british work ethic in this country we really did i think we'd be fit to be lost some of that was it was easy to see that at the job center where most i'm it will migrant workers the problem is that

a lot of the bit haiti but i got used to not doing the minimum paid jobs and low paid work so they 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 end 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 that immigration promise the government simply can't keep either bennett r.t. london. to be asserted that whoever disagrees with presidential policy should look for another job which is exactly what happened to the now former finance minister who he said on monday alexa could and said he could work under a new government if would vote of became prime minister in a future reshuffle at the top of his people over 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 of the armed forces now some of the spending policies as appears 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 at this defense spending in particular was crucial to the development of russia when you more from a way to say we can do without defense spending and this 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 personnel will be the government's top priority and whoever disagrees with that can work out where you saw us and with that i would if there were missed well could really clearly did disagree with us and now we will be looking for work elsewhere this all really came to a head the catalyst for it being the announcement that

a lot of me of putin will run for the presidency in twenty twelve and that he would put forward dmitri medvedev as his prime minister so this could get in to say they'd see could work with. the trade get as prime minister to two spending policies get if in turn issued an ultimatum to could in saying i think get on board or get out so intently a resignation that didn't come and he was dismissed from his post late last night after eleven years. cross developments the story to r.t. dot com including the actual frosty exchanges well between the president or the man who was his treasury chief also on live got these stories to feed the kalashnikov rifle proposed to bite the bullet this russia's defense ministry the size of the country's most iconic weapon is outdated. and moscow's in a mood to move this is internet sensation dancing matt video shown performing is to get around the world. now is it russia's capital to get a mosque device on their feet and watch them get by getting online along with all
