time sara flounders from the activist group international action center says the u.s. is preaching a democracy all around the world all forgetting about the rights of its own people and this is really our elise effort to shut down mass the sense here see us government that claims the state for democracy all over the world while dropping bombs on people in many many countries and here at home when people are involved in democratic protests and demonstrations against the domination of wall street representing really the interests of the vast majority of people the latest polls today's show that seventy five percent of the population changes sympathetic to these protests. coming up a little bit later today here on our very own a people of eleanor's crosstalk discuss who if anyone is influencing the decisions taken by the governments is a pretty. government. is not doing what it's probably wanted doing what its
8:07 am
interest groups want the moment those interest groups are the labor unions and the more big corporations who pays well. everybody is free to hasten actual steve go ahead steve switch to one of the extraordinary. easy here let's remember one simple fact right in the united states today in the private sector that dominates our economy six point nine percent of workers are represented by a trade union ninety three and point one percent of our working class in the private sector has no union to explain government policy based on the union movement as tiny and powerless as this is a soon to see. and you can check across the crowd today. greece has admitted its still not able to deal with its deficit the key demand of its international creditors that's even
8:08 am
taking into account massive layoffs announced yesterday and you round of austerity cuts which still need a lot of its approval to find out what it all means for the struggling country let's cross live to watch the sarah ferguson was in the greek capital sara thanks for joining us today so is it me that after all. greece has failed on its promises and is now failing to deal with this debt. welp i hated me yes the greek government has that it is not going to be able to hit these tough deficit reduction targets that it is that right now that sparked that fresh face because that next cash injection the eight billion euro aid that it needs to avoid bankruptcy it because the troika loaded team. hear the name and say enough is trying to hammer out some kind of deal or not it is worth remembering that at this point was bad for greece is going to be extremely bad for the rest of the usa it would be surprising were not to get that money because that would have a very immediate impact in the country as
8:09 am
a quiz will essentially be bankrupt it wouldn't be able to pay its wages or any of its bills and we could see that really having a very severe knock on effect not just in the usa the rest of the global economy as well i mean here it really does just seem to keep getting worse another measures we saw the greek government approved yesterday with thirty thousand civil servants to be placed on reserve and they'd be over g.'s k. and at the end of the year there'd be the potential for dismissal as well and of course that's been met with a huge criticism here from both the public and from analysts he was saying that really what we think we still want to get it's continuing to cut wages to cut pensions to cut jobs was at the same time trying to use a tax base solution to get itself out of this mess to plug but they're really in a very tough position indeed all these measures in place to try and avoid default which is many people i can see can see here in athens is that really at this point
8:10 am
an inevitability. to greece now the polls that's the million dollar question would be more exact the four hundred fifty billion a year a question to take to greece now. let's be. you think greece over four hundred billion euros of government there you need to be. or i don't know what to believe something like that become it's running out of options they can keep trying to impose the states will start that would likely lead to more of the violent clashes we see in between. riot police and protesters and the last week the month all they can and keys to default here is they needed insisted that the fold is not an option they concerned that were greece to do you say it sparked a financial meltdown in the usa there's now
8:11 am
a growing recognition that behind closed doors other options are being considered a good called it's different here because it's has been on the cards after a year and a half or. because when you have a bad overhang of exorbitant size but we have here in greece it is impossible to imagine a disturbing story because i mean. if you say so the default was always going to happen as it's a full speculation rumbles on it's become clear that there are fundamental flaws in the usa it's operation i think europe citizens have the right to know what the causes are at the moment they're being deflected from very real causes and they are being asked to blame little greece little greece however in the article may have proved in the past. and never was incapable of spearheading a global financial crisis see just who is to blame for what we are experiencing in
8:12 am
greece would be. if using new kind of war if using international. financial crimes for the past eighteen months the greek government has cut wages great taxes just pensions and in return received billions of year in bailout funds now as they await the next eight billion cash injection many are left wondering if it's all been worth it. when we first. in this. series the. one. night. just two years after one of the four hundred people. of the.

8:15 am
out of the sky into the pacific ocean now out there twenty four satellites are in orbit we specialists say that clone us can provide precise coverage up to six meters on the ground though take this for example with the g.p.s. technologies they can place you accurately within seven meters the target for glowed us now is to convince consumers and convince manufacturers of products that need global positioning technologies that glowed us is the one for them and that they should move away from g.p.s. . more on chips into the final frontier just log on to a special section on our website where we've got all the spectacular footage. from the final missions of the now retired american space shuttle fleet. of u.f.o.'s.
