2:01 pm
business in twenty minutes. you're watching our live from moscow where it's ten pm it's eight pm in berlin and german lawmakers have agreed to massively increase the size and power of the eurozone spell out fund meaning berlin will guarantee a whopping two hundred and eleven billion euros worth of loans greece is watching this closely as it tries to convince the e.u. and i.m.f. to release more emergency cash but the greek public's anger is focused on facing more costs and tax hikes saraf earth is in athens. ins is running out amongst the people here in greece take your bat and leave that was the message from the protesters here today than outside the finance ministry the organizations of a lot of people who are being made unemployed to the government's austerity
2:02 pm
measures one of the implementations that they've put in place to try and secure that bailout cash the eight billion is going to be decided on later next month so you can see the ban is that the ban on the finance ministry itself saying we want life the people here a feeling that the measures that have been put in place are simply stifling them and that realistically that is too high a price to pay so it is certainly a different reaction to the positivity we saw after that positive vote in germany it was certainly a positive step that chancellor merkel managed to secure the majority of that that is seen as taking decisive action but there are questions really eva how much impact that money is going to have now currently the greek debt stands at around three hundred forty billion euro is and the germany very taking to extend the size and power of the bailout fund that would now stand at four hundred forty billion euros a which over two hundred billion would be called defeated by germany was already
2:03 pm
the single biggest contributor to that but now we know that that's caused some discontent among the german public but now we're not been a cash playing from that yet because there are still countries that have to very tonight take seventeen countries and as he said the way that that's being received here amongst the public is with some skepticism they said a lot of people are saying that they view the year easing leaders as a part of the problem that this whole euro is a financial crisis and so they're asking how they can be the solution and also there's a lot of mistrust ted because the people here someone telling me today that this isn't a case of things getting worse month by month whole week by week even day. by day things head getting worse for the people but tomorrow we're going to see the deadline for attacks we see people outside the finance ministry. banning the taxes that they've been given they say not only do they not want to pay this they
2:04 pm
simply can't pay they don't have the money anymore a lot of disappointment in the government we sold the protests and clashes break out between the riot police and the protesters on cheese day off to the filth the property tax was caused. says a lot of discontent still among six people sick with the next round of money to be decided on next month and with the telephone being extended what people hear is that is that nobody should they will not cash they feel that the measures being taken a too harsh that is poisoning the patient's age speak and they don't know whether this bailout funds going to be medicine or to the country but whether taking that money is going to be drinking from the poisoned chalice. well as we heard greek politicians are desperate to get more bailout cash to remain in the currency union but robert oulds chairman of the influential group group in london which promotes decentralizing european affairs says they're out of touch with their people.
2:05 pm
there's an increasing gulf between the political class and what the population are thinking the greek population don't want to be paying money to financial institutions the greek government has a different point of view the german population don't want their money to be handed over to greece feckless greece which is wasted more money and the finnish population is also greatly concerned yet the political class are too wedded to the idea of the euro they're not facing the economic reality they're just concerned with the political project of the euro and the european union when they should be concentrating on people's jobs and protecting the taxpayers' money of the hearts of the problem is the you and greece and their membership of the euro it's not helping their economy it's throwing good money after bad it's a mistake the really the way to address this is for greece to leave the euro
2:06 pm
recognize that default is inevitable that is what is going to happen they need to leave the euro and devalue a new currency and re in figure way their economy that way then that's what needs to be done they need to recognize that the euro has failed for them and i gadhafi fighters have taken control of the airport in the fugitive colonel's hometown of sirte the last stronghold of his loyalist reinforcements have been called in ahead of a fractious solved in the face of stiff resistance civilians continue to flee the violence in the besieged city blaming nato for only adding to their problems well to discuss further the situation in libya now joined by pierre going down was a professor of political science in paris thanks for being with us one of the lines our civilian vehicles have been leaving after a night of nato air attacks on the town people are saying conditions inside syria are disastrous how does this fit in with the humanitarian mission. well actually it
2:07 pm
does not fit in with the humanitarian mission from the start the u.n. resolution was a fig leaf for a real intervention and now we're seeing is nato taking an active part in the war it's clearly a war between nato and gadhafi and it violates the resolution of the u.n. which is something that could have been predicted one which was. six months ago. was happening in libya is not just rebels fighting government but it's foreign intervention which does not explicitly present itself as a foreign intervention you. know or against it down what does that mean in terms of nato as goal in the country well. these schools are not very clear except you know what is clear you know the west expects libya to
2:08 pm
give free to good access to oil and it's all of companies and so on but now. it's as if it's. back to that could out three era with power that is very much controlled by and by the west so i can believe that the aim of nato is humanitarian and clearly what's happening right now is intervention underside of one group in a civil war the winning side because nato supported where you can nato clearly won the war and now are probably wants to make sure that there is no internal opposition where do you think this is go and what do you think the alliance is next with. well it could be something like cos suburbanite is trying to keep down any form of opposition so the oil flows and. the
2:09 pm
tribal fights. could happen with the fall of kentucky do not happen or do not impact upon the libyan economy so that the sable ising in the sands are making the country stable for western presence and mostly economic presence. as some people who have fled the violence claim nato is guilty of genocide by reportedly hitting schools homes and hospitals do you think the alliance could find itself eventually somehow answering to these charges while one has to be very careful with the word genocide genocide you know. the jews in the second world war ruined it's very different from massacres so you can't say that nato is guilty of genocide but clearly nato is responsible for some massacres. it's very unlikely. the leaders of nato could and of being prosecuted in the hague and he specially
2:10 pm
americans who cannot be prosecuted in the hague. even though there are people who are dying because of nato military actions massacres it's very unlikely that the people responsible for these massacres could be held accountable by and the international court of justice precisely because of the way the international court of justice is set up to punish only some groups of murderers or. vicious attackers and so on but not others political foes professor parrikar in a live with us on the line from paris thank you for and. well nato is also being warned against taking signs and now there are three generals are reports kosovo in just a few minutes the kremlin crn after nato reportedly uses live rounds and border skirmishes between kosovo and ethnic serbs artsy has a report for you from belgrade. but first the wheels are turning up the
