you know and here in moscow it's not broadcasting live it's ten pm thank you for being with us for a viewer watching around the world angry greeks ago bring us to this protest against a new set of government cuts which are expected to be passed next month the measures are needed to secure the next vital bailout installment prime minister george papandreou is in germany to convince its made lender the greece is on the right track to reducing its crippling debt so if earth is in athens for us only shade in on this here in syntagma square tonight thousands upon thousands of people have turned out the parliament discussing the property tax it's pretty extremely and the country you can see the tension levels right thing again. they're extremely and we've already seen the riot police needing in the way you can see both of the water at the main and being line centrally and feels like a piece that we saw in the summer when those protests. sadly we saw the violence now funding evening we saw were still a thing happen on syntagma it's been
2:02 pm
a struggle here to get the situation under control greece is a country on the brink the e.u. leaders the students guessing whether to release that eight billion years cash injection the greece is going to need to stay afloat we've really got to ask just how much now that measure is going to work because we've been here before we've seen this happen and as we said before the people here in greece have reached their breaking point once again with being extreme anger on the street and these measures that people say they simply can't live with. to see be able to grow and. let's talk to financial advisor marco pierre to polly joins us now from london marco hi there more cuts for greece so the solution of choice of course for e.u. politicians but as we've just seen there as we just heard reporting in athens a public far from convinced same problem seem to be happening again is more austerity really the way forward. well austerity in the near term. allowed
2:03 pm
greece to qualify for the next round of bailout but economically speaking obviously severe cuts in a recession is only going to drive the country further into recession it's very difficult to see how they greeks can turn this around and whether the population can enjoy all. this austerity for for perhaps years to come the greek finance minister is confident he thinks that his country will get that next bailout payment or worse they say they're going to run out of money otherwise by the middle of october don't they but how is that really going to kickstart an economy that's ground zero all despite so much that's already been pumped into it's the same old questions we're asking but the same proposals are still coming forward to be done about it. let this be clear about this this is not money being pumped into greece this is money going to greece's. creditors effectively the money the bailout fund all it's doing is simply servicing the existing debt it's not actually being
2:04 pm
invested in greece in terms of creating jobs creating exactly there's no reason that this is not a bailout fund where jobs are going to be created and the economy is going to be kickstart kickstarted there's not what this is about what is happening here is money can't be borrowed by the greeks on the markets because the markets have lost faith with the greeks to be able to service their debts moving forward so all this is doing is servicing the interest on the mountain of debt that greece has built up and the key to it of course is germany has put forward any new measures to help greece this time around but it says it is prepared to help still let's just stand by for a minute and look at germany as it stands at the moment look at their position why should it want to help our friends anymore and keep it afloat. well in the near there's the issue of solidarity of trying to keep the euro together and in that
2:05 pm
respect it may help germany because it greece within the euro will keep the euro very weak and that will help german exports in a way that that's that's how germany can can gain from this but it's very difficult to see how the greeks are going to ever pay any of this money back they're struggling to even service the debt let alone actually pay it back so it's very difficult to see what's in it for the germans in the long run in the near. say in the next couple of years or in the next few months as i said it will keep the euro weak and that's good for german exports now most recently we heard about that grand plan this huge great big budget they were planning for the whole of the eurozone now we're in the german finance minister is denying rumors that that eurozone bailout fund will be inflated to the two trillion euros they were talking about it had been mooted as a way and it to shore up the so-called too big to fail countries spain italy what's going to mean for them now seems a bit shaky. well if it imprints
2:06 pm
a paul it sounds like a good idea but of course it's an it's another banker solution what you're saying is that we've got a debt crisis so what we're going to do ease is borrow more and we're going to create a bank out of these two hundred billion in the bailout fund and we're going to gear that up ten times and use that as a way of a bigger fund to bail out these countries i'm not sure even with a bigger fund it's really enough to allow all the peripheral countries but it may help to actually provide some stability to the markets in the near term and of course a lot of this is simply about confidence if the markets believe that the euro. is solid it is at present the markets don't believe that the the euro is solid the mark of the markets don't believe that the politicians have got control of the situation and really in many ways the the the leaders are well behind the curve or
2:07 pm
caremark of here are a part of financial advisor on the program tonight thank you. in syria government troops reportedly storm to keep the opposition turn after pounding overnight with heavy machine gun fire russia's foreign ministers reiterated the talks of the solution for peace not war western sanctions he's also been addressing the u.n. general assembly in new york from there. and it's to see a check. wrapping up his visit to the united nations general assembly session here in new york the russian foreign minister sergey 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 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
2:08 pm
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 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 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 projects 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
2:09 pm
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 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 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 to 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
2:10 pm
negotiations with negotiations 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 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 calm once day. israel's give the go ahead for building eleven hundred homes in the disputed area of east jerusalem the e.u. reacted by saying the decision should be reversed it's likely to further complicate relations with the palestinians the frozen middle east peace talks the mideast quartet have given israel and the palestinians until the end of twenty twelve to reach agreement jeff who co-founded the israeli committee against house demolitions told me that israel doesn't need to as the big is covering its back.
2:11 pm
basically. israel has created facts on the ground over the last forty four years that of really made made its occupation irreversible i mean you've got half a million israelis more than half a million living in the occupied territories so that i can't possibly see how to negotiate sions are going to ending israel's occupation i don't see any pressures to get a half a million people out and i think that's what abbas is saying negotiations are useless either you get out of our territory period or there or there's no point in going on with the process 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 prevent saying sions and provide this umbrella for israel israel is so i think to
2:12 pm
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. coming up here on r.t. was made kevin know into night why immigrants in britain a doing a good job for him was a soaking up to ninety percent of vacancies in the country's bleak employment market right now but a report for you coming up about that on my way or the highway tough words from russia's president as he gives the finance ministers marching orders saying the vital military money is not up for discussion and anyone who thinks differently could also go now. seven cost of them so support injured in an exchange of fire between protesters and nato peacekeepers at the disputed border crossing locals play in the line says troops but nato says it responded only with rubber bullets and tear gas in self-defense soft a kosovo serbs attacked the checkpoint emotions been running high ever since august when kosovo and police seized two border crossings at a trade dispute with serbia a local documentary maker told me that one sided nato is forcing serbia to accept
2:13 pm
its terms. this is something that is the escalating the situation over there with german soldiers trying to isolate the community and turn it essentially 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 and nato is simply pushing ahead with with its interests in north closer which are mainly economic it's hard to say 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 it sends 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 while the serbs on the other hand are fighting for their bare existence
2:14 pm
and they have no choice but to continue pushing forward to have the right to remain where they have lived for centuries the bellary in pristina governments are trying to establish so-called the 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 has been more in the sense that serbia should accept everything that the international community thinks is a porton in regards to kosovo a while 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 jobs in the united kingdom are getting fewer and fewer and it seems the vacancies that are there are big swept up by non brits immigrants and scooping up a whopping ninety percent of positions bennett tells us why. jaymes
2:15 pm
amongst the growing ranks of unemployed he's been trying to find a job in social housing since many 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 back to college and maybe do some part time unemployment's 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 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 net migration was nearly a quarter of a million last year up twenty percent on two thousand and nine and britain second
2:16 pm
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. 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 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
2:17 pm
says most don't i go back to thirty forty years ago when 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 eccentrics said sure you don't you days 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 were migrant workers the problem is that a lot of the bit hasty 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.
