hello and a very warm welcome from all of us here in oscar this is our she was new year's eve our thanks for joining us and we started in greece it has been in my angry protests out of the government pause the most popular round of austerity measures yes in exchange for rescue loans a new property time is expected to bridge a gap in the country's branches but people say they can't afford to pay off the center for the pressure is going to tell even in athens. where you see his fundraising blogs. are being pushed out of the bags but you can hear the kid gas going off again we started the situation looking like he was going to escalate other things like that well that's what we're seeing we've seen a huge amount of the riots really pushing the crowds down. it's been a struggle here to get the situation under control for the first time in this

country you're seeing people below the poverty light being tight they simply don't have that money and they cling on eurozone leaders now to be realistic the talk is certainly telling that a greek default analyst here has said he was the really is a case of how that happens whether it's a controls to soldiers on greece's turns over the e.u. leaders will again play by their rules and that benefit really that the greek prime minister just pop and say has set in having meetings in berlin he said he told the country could get out of this crisis we had a challenge chance is saying much the same thing everyone hyping the situation doesn't once again descend into violence like we've seen happen before but unfortunately that is the level of anger today amongst the greek people people we've been speaking to saying they can't afford their rent they called the ports of call the families of these applications the greats wanting to leave the pros has

risen dramatically extremely volatile situation that then played fed up with what they see as a complete and utter widening between what the people are asking for a look at the e.u. leaders pushing for the usa leaders at the mine still has yet to decide whether to provide that eight billion a year a cash injection increase they desperately needs is good but the financial aid they will be approving that because they don't want to see greece i think here you said it briefly then everyone can leave and that really the laceyville is that was still the end of the year is a better situation at the even really on the brink of buffel the free fight for their country does not the protest is that it's not a fight that the tires please sir see this. logo and economic affairs metric athena's things are the only way out of the crisis

the creases to deforest as the four ways to late. they need to default on their debt if they want the austerity measures to work because right now you have austerity with tax increases and a giant that and you're not going to get anywhere and the greek economy is interacting so if it if it continues in this way in the short term long term it just means serfdom because you have this giant debt that's not going to go way back it was for ireland and portugal and spain as well and perhaps italy but i think that the smartest thing sort of the e.u. and the i.m.f. the do they really want a solution would be a structured default of greece of course a goal of ireland probably spain as well in some sort of way and to allow some of those currents this country especially greece for example for the public sector to issue drachms again it doesn't mean that eurozone has to circulate but it would mean a kind of dual currency fish and a long term the you are not going to survive the reason that we're already seeing in terms of national policies overriding a pan-european policy i don't think they're going to be able to create a fiscal treasury and basically integrate europe but in the short term the e.u.

may stay alive if they allow some of the other countries to begin to share their own currencies and partially default on their debts. and of course would like to hear your views on the crisis in greece you can head to our website called if you want to take part in our latest poll and we're asking you what do you think greed and e.u. leaders are discussing behind the scenes and around the two percent of you they might be analyzing whether greece should exit the euro zone or not also believe they're looking at how to manage or control default and a minority believe they're debating how far the bailouts can stretch but so far the most popular response is a rather tongue in cheek one suggesting that talks are focusing on how politicians can escape the link chain for hungry voters so please have your say head along to actually go home and cast your vote. let's move on now several servers have reportedly been injured in clashes with nato troops as violence has once again flared at the cost of a border is believed alliance peacekeeping forces trying to dismantle

a road barricades that are both serves the troops say they used rubber bullets as the self defense but it's so the news agency claims live rounds were used and has distributed pictures showing x. ray images of gunshot wounds the tensions began in july when consulate so it has tried to seize the checkpoints to enforce their unilateral trade embargo but it's infuriated serbs who protested against it and set up the barricades on the roads and the boy symbolic historian author of the nation whose actions will only make a tense situation worse. nato is absolutely outside the bounds of my its mandate it is not supposed to be a law enforcement agency for there for the self-proclaimed government to push into it is he wasn't supposed to seize these so-called customs posts in the first place and he certainly isn't supposed to be shooting at people that are peacefully protesting is turn of the turn of events very easy to improve the situation by not making it worse in the first place by not deploying these troops in support of the

hotshoe touchy speak state now that he had been deployed he could have just as well have retreated like he did back in july and early august again needing comanches to escalate and they are giving us this pabulum about law and order and criminal elements and their foremost criminal armin's in this case. it with our c.f.o. to come on the program a look at the western strategy for syria. what they're trying to achieve is to put their man in power that's the whole quest of u.s. foreign policy that calls for immediate u.s. functions against damascus and trump from the truck resolution as russia and china call for the government and opposition to negotiate. israel says it's now going back to the self-imposed ban on building settlements on occupied palestinian territory and it's plowing ahead with construction east jerusalem could move strong strong opposition from israel's allies they say is counterproductive to the peace process washington and london have described the decision as disappointing and

illegal while the u.s. and the construction plans should be revised but israel maintains that all key building something the palestinians say rules out talks between the two sides the international middle east peace process comprised of russia and the us the u. amalie u.n. called for bilateral negotiations to resume within a month but i'm just saying that now it's time to. basically. israel has created facts on the ground over the last forty four years that has really made made its occupation irreversible i mean you've got half a million this rabies more than half a million living in the occupied territories so that it's i can't possibly see how you go she are going to end israel's occupation i don't see any procedures to get a half a million people out and i think that's what abbas it's a big issue asians are usually either you get other dark period or the or there's no point in going on with the process i don't think israel has anything to worry

about its point of view there are three countries of the other one hundred ninety are irrelevant this three countries are the united states britain. as long as they're behind israel's policy or at least even if they criticize as. long as the prevents in providers of greater israel is yours so i think you were. going to force it to get out let's get a good pressures on israel. israel's announcement of new settlement construction comes as the un security council is to consider the palestinian bid for membership have been world body on wednesday you asked has promised to veto the move but russia and several other members of the council say they'll support the palestinians even if washington lawyer says all men should be ability to gain an elevated legal status in big un general assembly where they have a majority of support. now but with all shia and still ahead speaking out about ben being shouted down. here in america we're very proud of for freedom of speech and

the right to speak is considered holy except if you see the wrong you can get in trouble american celebrities are told to keep quiet about fellow citizens for speaking their minds about sensitive issues so we've got the details coming out of the. e.u. countries have dropped their call for the immediate sanctions against syria the u.n. draft resolution has been softened and now threatening sanctions only if the government doesn't stop its crackdown on the opposition but the crime john kerry continues the syrian army has deployed time and armored vehicles to the town of rhinestone russia has been calling on both sides in this six month long conflict to hold talks that oppose sanctions hornberger founder and president of the washington based peter freedom foundation says the real aim of any western intervention will be putting their money and power. sanctions have never succeeded in achieving regime

change which is what the u.s. goal is and then let's keep in mind it this was a dictatorship that the us government used at one time to torture canadian citizen name a horror air are they supported mubarak they support the dictatorships in saudi arabia jordan but what they're trying to achieve is to put their man in power that's the whole question of u.s. foreign policy so there's a lot of hypocrisy here too as well this is something that the syrian people should decide not the u.s. government it's none of the u.s. government's business this revolution's announced or of regimes should be up to the people of that country because as we all know the price can sometimes be very high in revolutions and that's why it's up to the people of that country to make that decision. using humanitarian explanations for justifying it more bloody interventions colonial imperiling so says british author and journalist simon jenkins the full interview is coming up in just over an hour's time but here's a pretty. i do not believe the states. legal rights
