2:01 am
and welcome from all of this is r.t. with me you thanks for joining us for us to greece's forty eight hour paralysis centering its second day and has already seen street violence over the government's efforts to bankruptcy the anger of terms of thousands of protesters wasn't enough to deter lawmakers from giving initial backing to even more tough cuts to desperately turn the corner around and also fred is in athens for us. we've seen some violence and whens day with the moment just to vote on a final approval for that side of history what do we expect today. brooke greece shut down for a second day as the protesters are expected to once again turn out in front of the parliament building we can actually already hear some of the protesters making announcements over the loud speakers we've got a lot of them off the streets in tightness but they'll be marching later and they plan we've had to surround the parliament building as the case really for the next
2:02 am
round of austerity measures that gaining initial approval yesterday then we saw the protests this turned into a very chaotic scenes indeed violent clashes broke out between the police and the protesters we saw some of the buildings around here and sometimes catching fire here was filled with smoke in tear gas and it really was very disturbing indeed it was a reflection of course deep anger at these continuing for thirty measures your is a nice i'm sure watching very very closely at the scenes of calls coming up ahead of the east summit on sunday we know that they did meet in france but he tried to hammer out some of the details of that bet he thought five finalize some kind of rescue plan. yes that's right so do you leave as a threat to meet on sunday to work out a solution so could we finally see and then see the crisis our. it was very hard to
2:03 am
say what people are saying is that on sunday at the e.u. some is going to be very very crucial no expecting something at least to be announced because they're not see anything to come of that the repercussions certainly on the financial markets would be extremely severe but we know that there are a lot of problems is that with this what we've seen is that this agreement needing to be reached by the seventeen member states easing the single currency does have its difficulties in a very slow in responding to the situations that they always seem to be a couple of steps behind the markets. the problem here is well is the amongst the public the feeling is certainly that the government in the usa need is a place to very much of meeting the demands of the financial markets than the people here feel that they simply been ignored in all this despite the fact that they're the ones who now have to pay for the crisis it's a really is
2:04 am
a very tough situation indeed of course is what the government here is that they're trying to push through more austerity measures more job cuts well canting personal tax hikes are they trying to get the approval of that eight billion euro next tranche cash injection of the bell fund we've got the discussions about the additional risky fund as well all this money a lot of people saying us trying to get money after bad but they do need the money if that is not together then greece is going to very quickly run out of cash and that's going to have again very severe repercussions very immediate repercussions greece will essentially not be able to pay any of its bills a very tough situation indeed the country here the government and the u.s. they need is basically facing a situation where they have the opposition from the people here in greece i think impatience amongst the financial markets and amongst you as a need is of course at the inability again the eurozone leaders to response to this
2:05 am
in another good measure so we're expecting see the same happening today the turnout from the public debate continuing in parliament as the anger continues on the streets. on the south firth reporting there live from athens many thanks indeed i'll talk to you later as well. things a little better over in america with thousands of people are digging in with their corporate protests and it's week five of the occupy wall street rallying call against a bloated banks and washington's weakness and doing something about it the growing gap between rich and poor is something which could cost the government. down explains. a class war seemed impossible in a country were being wealthy east part of the national dream but it's cows and march on wall street and in other parts of america protesting against the system that they claim works only for the benefit of a few super rich individuals and corporations many ask whether america is facing
2:06 am
a class war that it's only when the rich are getting richer while the middle class is class a class war is being waged in america today unfortunately the wrong saw is winning the so-called one percent of winners are the nation's top corporations which this year amid the economy's very slow growth have non the less made record profits but thanks to various loopholes many of these corporations pay little or nothing in taxes the corporations say they need the tax breaks to be able to invest more in to hire more america's second largest energy producers chevron is now lobbying not to let the government tax them more and to my question how many americans has chevron hired since the tax breaks were introduced in two thousand and four the c.e.o. of the company said they were up slightly a few thousand business so here's but not significantly not significantly on our chevron payroll a few thousand jobs for the billions of dollars in tax stimulus that the government
2:07 am
gave them economy same erika's largest corporations are sitting on more than three trillion dollars and not investing in the economy unemployment in the us remains over nine percent where we live in a nation where corporations can profit off a child dying at the same time with their parents in a bankruptcy because they're trying to pay for these kids medical bills. with it what does that say about our country the wall street answer to people's rage if you kill all three will be nobody held a job but as one of the protesters tried to put a word of objection call at all. hold on it's not your show i'm talking to these people hold on i'm not talking to you you can. talk personal success and money have always being part of the american dream. he asked him to become rich is deeply ingrained in american society and widely promoted by pop culture but
2:08 am
those who took to the streets and made it clear that the situation when the rich are getting richer and the poor are getting poorer is not their idea of the american dream in fact it could be the end of it and the beginning of a class war i'm going to check on reporting from washington. among the occupy wall street protesters biggest grievances is the huge influence that america's big business has in washington political and social and that's. the. trick opening the ailing out there too big to fail the rich bankers the federal reserve dumping trillions of dollars worldwide that it's in the capital it's been a takeover it's one big corporate takeover named the industry there's a handful of people running it agriculture communications you go down the list whether it's retail whether it's the military so yes wall street is washington
2:09 am
