tonight on r t greece rushes to reassure investors that it's worthy of the next bailout package as the prime ministers in berlin to convince its main lender. push it up the public can take place as austerity measures appropriate we all the latest from syntagma square. but also coming up this hour as government forces storm a key opposition town in syria moscow calls on both sides to talk rejecting western sanctions. ballance flares between serbia and breakaway kosovo seven cars have been serbs a range of the disputed border crossing. and the russian markets rallied on tuesday despite the resignation of the country's finance minister alex it was really more

a business about five minutes. while kerry watching r.t. from moscow with me kevin zero in our top story at nine pm greece says it's doing all it can and is on the right track to reduce its crippling deficit the prime minister also pleaded for germany's assistance ahead of talks with chancellor merkel and that says the greek parliament proposed a vote on a new set of cuts needed to secure the next vital bailout installment marty sara firth's in athens for us. discontent here in athens and the name really we've been speaking to a lot of people today indeed seen 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 protests action has happened so far outside the parliament building at the maybe you can see that just the beginnings

of the greeks gathering with their flags and it's still that later on today is well we're going to see a lot more gathering to see but there's a little bit of concern about the tension that we're feeling at the night because as he said the prime minister george carpenter a he's in berlin holding talks today at they've also been trying to push a measure to treat parliament's another all star team measure that's a very unpopular. property taxes going on here so there's been a definite tension here today amongst the people that we say can see just alone from syntagma square you've got the finance economics building in the background that and earlier on today what we saw down on the streets were the rage being stoked we saw a huge number that riot police turning out people parking their bikes in the middle is the right very large number of people what they were at that to protest well as he said these austerity measures that they said are simply not working so now the man who waiting to see really exactly how this plays out tonight at the certainly

concerned the kids at least once again in the situation very desperate situation where the child officials thirteen as you see the people say they simply cannot very positive rhetoric coming from the u.s. they needed the german chancellor and the prime minister of greece to stop and try saying that they think we can get through the crisis the geminis going to be behind their skepticism and here on the ground really meeting these comments people are saying that they fired all of this before it is. contrary to what germany behind me. a lot of things they continue to. buy. sells some time to see how this plays out now because again with these austerity measures he's seen them happen before in the usa leaders haven't made a decision yet whether it's believed that eight billion euro is cash injection greece is going to stay in place that they will at some point we see this disorder

again these are states that just simply haven't worked here that even when we see. the contracts 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 growing 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 are reacting to violence trend the more extreme parts of the greatest is that in recent weeks we saw on sunday please even take us on the great outside here is intact the police might actually be reacting quite aggressively to say there is the awareness that people have feeling extremely angry at these matches a very tense situation in the neighborhood so first our correspondent in athens with european leaders are desperate to try to work out a solution to keep greece from collapsing and so you can go whole region with a constitutional law professor george her true colors told me it believes that

bankruptcy on greece's own terms is better than the surrounding sovereign states of foreign leaders. there is not an easy way out for greece. but i think that given our default but that the fault decided by. government it would just be imposed to us by default this would be a better solution because people know we are in a county of. our government cannot cannot follow its own policy it is just following guidelines. and these guidelines are as i told you before proven to be fruitless just because a site requires this without any quote of what we are know what the second tier of the system you can measure those that did the state of utah refused. rocket is practically double done or you would have started this austerity measures at the same time the economy is really into it at the same time we have

a lot of burden to the poorest to get weakest parts of the population so i don't think that this kind of policy is going to work. so george can trigger lost a constitutional law professor in athens explaining what constant bailouts have turned his country. folks in syria now where government troops reportedly storm the key opposition town after pounding in overnight we had machine gun fire at russia's foreign ministers reiterated the talks of the solution for peace not more western sanctions he's also been addressing the un general assembly in new york and he said the sincere churkin is there for us. 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 warning 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 to let them talk before any

intervention from the outside world takes 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 just advising the region even further because he brought up the latest example of libya and 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 war and going behind the school 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 we will have let's put it that 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 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 should go first and then we'll see it's a very simple i believe not very reliable strategy if you can 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 include. 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 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 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 indigo she shares with israel as that we know have been stalled and of course is 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 promptly saying this official going 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 and the situation there in new york for us israel given the go ahead to building eleven one hundred homes in the disputed area of east jerusalem that's likely to further complicate relations with the palestinians the frozen mideast peace talks and he reacted by saying the decision should be reversed those talks just helping to discuss this is a political activist and co-founder of the israeli committee against house demolitions but thanks ever so much being with us mr helper this really peer but

even though yahoo says he wanted to meet palestinian leader mahmoud abbas on the sidelines of the u.n. general assembly we're hearing now this hour about says left new york do you think today's decision might have played a part in the not holding direct talks. well there's nothing to hold direct talks about i don't think the palestinians are going to fall into that trap again what's good about what's happening in the un whichever way it plays out is that we're at the end of negotiations because she shifted the trap for the public. and it's very clear today the israeli government announces going to build one thousand one hundred new settlement units this is on about another four or five thousand they've already announced for east jerusalem in another part of east jerusalem so it's clear that on the ground nothing is stopping israel in other words if you have negotiations that in which israel and this is what

a boss is saying in which israel stops settlement construction it stops creating facts on the ground maybe a is still the i don't think the bush ations will really succeed because israel has no intention of giving up the occupied territory so just it's still at least it would freeze all the settlement building so jeffrey do what you're basically saying and i don't put words in your mouth but i guess the gist of what you're saying is it looks like his real police are decisions so not in israel's favor on the u.s. his favor already here. well that's right it's a fixed game and that's why i think russia and the e.u. actually that and the un three out of the four quartet partners are very critical of the united states and aren't going along with it because basically. israel has created facts on the ground over the last forty four years then it really made made its occupation irreversible i mean you've got a half

a million israelis more than half a million living in the occupied territories so that if i can't possibly see how the negotiations are going to ending israel's occupation and i don't see any pressures if you get a half a million people out and i think that's what abbas is saying. are useless either you get out of our territory period or they or this low point in going on with the process as you know there's another huge school of thought completely disagrees with. a huge pool of people look at it from the other side the fence we will get into that argument now i want to ask you some facts about how you think this decision today about these new houses will go down turkey's prime minister's already urged the u.n. to slap sanctions on israel over it and of course relations are already really strained over the gaza right foot incident where nine turkish activists were killed what do you think the un's reaction is going to be as well. i don't

think israel has anything to worry about from its point of view there are three countries that matter the other hundred ninety are irrelevant the three countries are the united states britain and germany as long as they're behind israel's policies or at least even if they criticize as long as they prevents ancient's and provide this umbrella for israel israel is something to worry about who's going to sanction it who's going to force it to get out who's going to put pressures on israel it has that absolute support of germany britain and the united states and that's all that needs to confirm its nose at the other one hundred ninety countries they have nothing that they can do in order to forces or a lot is that what it's doing to the quartet of mid-east negotiators as well as israel right now to start building on the to speak to territories seems to be said don't want to know doesn't it to the courts have a powerful voice. of course one of this is been for years and years i mean the

mitchell report was ten years ago you know it demands to stop settlements were forty years ago and the bush administration of bush the father stopped ten billion dollars of loan guarantees to israel because of settlements israel goes ahead with the settlements because it because it can nobody's going to really stop it even if there's criticism and at the end of the day you've purchased negotiations that's the whole point of it israel will not go into negotiations unless the outcome is determined from the beginning and you determine the outcome of negotiations you determine what we're going to negotiate what the parameters are by the facts on the ground and the facts are so massive today it's not only the settlements is house demolitions it's the wall it's the exploration of how the city and land it's a massive highway system that israel's laid over the occupied territories israel has really already incorporated the occupied territories into israel so it's all

for what negotiations do for israel is they allowed to keep the status quo going there's an appearance that we're willing to talk and that they're the bad guys because they don't want to talk but in fact israel is scrambling on the ground the occupation gets stronger and stronger and finally abbas is finally said look there's nothing else to talk about either we get a state on the sixty seven borders or or you know we'll see what happens but we're not going to pull back to the bush letter that says israel can keep its settlement blocks i mean that it the obama policy is you who are extremely pro israel then bush's policy once if we could talk an awful lot about this is a heck of a delay on the line as well between now me talking she would not just want to say thank you for your time just how co-founder of the israeli committee against house demolitions we could talk about this a lot longer but as i would out of time thank you. still to come here on r t why

immigrants in britain are doing a good job foreign workers are soaking up to ninety percent of vacancies in the country's bleak employment market right now we've got a report on back coming up for you and also my way or the highway tough words from russia's president as he gives the finance minister yesterday's marching orders saying 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 plainly alliance's troops but nato says it's responded only with rubber bullets and tear gas in self-defense after kosovo serbs attacked the checkpoint and emotions been running high since august when kosovan police seized two border crossings in a trade dispute with serbia a local documentary maker told me that one sided nato is forcing serbia to accept its terms. this is something that is. escalating the situation over there with

german soldiers trying to isolate the community and turn it essential into a ghetto in this you know 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 canonic it's hard to see whether the situation will get worse but nato has not refrain from using force when it needed to push for its interest it does have blood in its sense 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 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 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 that was good relations it is more in the sense that serbia should accept everything that the international community thinks is a port in regards to coastal well because they're getting more of a free ride but if the international community is supporting just one side it's very hard to reach a reasonable agreement. because he's going to be there early at jobs in the united kingdom getting fewer and fewer and it seems the vacancies that are there are being swept up by normal brits immigrants scooping up for what big ninety percent of positions of a bennett for explains why. jaymes amongst the growing ranks of

unemployed he's been trying to find a job in social housing since may but competition's fears 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 maybe going to go out to college and maybe do some parts on unemployment now it 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 a 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 a new government promising to slash immigration but a year on it's only increased and it 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 point 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 about the limits on what they could do the government claims its target can be met by capping not on e.u. immigration but that ignores how most are 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 it's unlikely that a cut of a measure of amounts will meet that target or not come close it is unlikely to meet its everything and 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 takes. to succeed here it

says most don't i go back to thirty forty years ago when you 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 that it's such exceptions you know when you days gone past three years have a tremendous british work ethic in this country we really did i think we did it 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 that hate it when they got used to not doing the minimum wage jobs and the 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 the pendency which is trap so many people and finally ensure work pays for the loss the long term unemployed can be forced to look for jobs there's no guarantee they'll get them coming back to their immigration promise the government simply can't keep either bennett. london.

preventives asserted that whoever disagrees with presidential policy should look for another job which is exactly what happened to the now former finance minister who we sacked on monday lexicographers said he couldn't work under a new government if madrid of became prime minister in a future reshuffle of the top people over for r.t. takes up the story well since president medvedev came to power there were certain areas of the country ditties he was spending an improvement things like prince of the prisons and the armed forces now some of the spending policies as appears to have been in disagreement towards alexy could have been forced and that's why he lost his job on monday president dmitri medvedev was on tuesday possibly defended his spending policies saying this defense spending in particular was crucial to the development of russia we knew more than we can do without defense spending and that spending should be worthy of russia we're not some banana republic. we're a big country a permanent member of the u.n.

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 whether disagrees with that can work elsewhere. well couldn't clearly did disagree with that and now he will be looking for work elsewhere this all really came to a head the catalyst for it being the announcement to flatter me of putin will run for the presidency in twenty twelve and that he would put forward to me to make yet as his prime minister this could in to say it's he couldn't work with. to be trivial if i was prime minister g two spending policies debt is been turn issued an ultimatum to the good in saying i think get on board or get celtic intend to your resignation that didn't come and he was dismissed from his post late last night after eleven years. you get across developments on our story as well as many others at r.t. dot com we also got the actual frosty exchanges you have been caught in between the
