what many believe was a final attempt to save the euro zone the settlement was reportedly a close run thing with the back lobby holding out until german chancellor angela merkel threatened letting greece default the e.u. also promises to loan out this another one hundred billion euros while the ballooning bailout fund is in line to expand to a trillion euros now the task is to put it all into action and you have bad overdeveloped your rights to a belgium's leading business magazines believes what's been achieved simply lacks any sort of punch. it's just buying time this is really not the bazooka everybody has been asking for i would describe it as a water pistol this of course prevents for the moment that we really get to a kind of. coalition of the greek and upper level which is now growing in the direction of the eighty percent of g.d.p. but you cannot call this a structural resolution to the difference greek problems they are a little bit afraid to really bite the bullet here because if you look at it
9:02 am
closely there is only one solution for greece and the truth had been put on the table already several months ago that is for greece to leave the euro zone but that is a decision everybody's afraid of and what for example not being discussed now but which is very much on the mind of several of the european leaders is that there is a huge problem brewing in portugal because this country is going down the greek the greek road quite rapidly now so if one does the action today on greece one immediately has to put a similar kind of action into operation with respect to portugal. or europe's proposed bigger bailout parts will need some foreign cash to top it off the head of the fund is now due to travel to china to try and attract some backing but economists there say the e.u. is trying to get others to do what it should have sorted out itself. plenty. hero in who's going to pay because you're talking about one trillion euro and this is a lot of money. right now doesn't have the money we're talking about leveraging
9:03 am
european financial stability fund to. countries like china. india even brazil to lend to the your peers stability fund if you don't have money. to raise the money or prevent already some what china would do would be i think they've been you know by a token amount of. your peers the ability front but when you for. a leading role because. this is what do you believe there should have. or even if that you use at a crisis plan pace off help will still take a while to filter down to the ground in greece but those living through straight and times are finding their own ways to make it as r.t. sarah for us reports. they say that time is money for a country where cash is now in short supply time has taken on
9:04 am
a whole different value the time bank quick change want to services and sometimes they give a painting lessons for free but they take your gun for free also somebody else is teaching yoga the time banks just one of the growing number of service swapping alternatives that are providing people in greece another way to cope with the tough economic conditions services can include anything from language classes to babysitting all him kids' meals huge huge everything we do without money like looking after people are making things by ourselves for a country in crisis buildings issue unity cam predicts djimi high prices the terrible things the create spirit divides people from public sector workers to from private sector workers who. divides richer workers to poor workers immigrant workers from home workers and that's a terrible thing. for the party networks have been a great way of bringing together large groups of people the populist slogan here in
9:05 am
greece now is no one's alone in the crisis organizations are arranging swap shops to exchange clothes and one town in greece is even started its own bartie currency we still have the memory of a good cultural society in greece where people used to do things together like we would do the olive tree of my family this week and then next week we go the olive trees of your family and then the next week of the other neighbor so they would exchange services they like that mickey gives me and her friend alexander he's also a member of the time bank and lesson one of the free services she provides and in exchange alexander helps out with the gardening so the time is repaid it's an amazing way. of receiving finally by giving to the other. many greeks struggle with wage cuts tax increases and with unemployment in
9:06 am
the country now cripplingly high there's been huge interest in the time banks and bars and networks places in aladdin's cave of materials it's no wonder really that this idea of swapping gets in services has proven so popular it's building solidarity it's a time when the economic situation is extremely uncertain. bassinet works won't solve greece's financial problems they do provide a massive amount to support the participants it's not to respond to you cannot make crisis in the sense that it's going to overturn the guard but it's giving support to comfort to both like to overturn a terrible economic policies that are being posed by the troika. it's giving people support to feel that they can do something with the tough economic times leaving many greeks feeling worthless there is real value in projects like the time bank
9:07 am
and with the greek government drowning in debt these creative solutions are offering not only support but encouragement to the people here which at a time of deep recession are proving priceless commodities so r.t. athens. and later today here are back says stacy taking aim at the greek people over how much responsibility they should take for the easy life that led to their country's predicament or here is what's ahead for you at fifteen thirty g.m.t. . is greece the failed state and i want to answer that from riot granny in this image here you see right granny well i think she's saying you know greece is not a failed state it's an occupied state because they're not asking this question about iceland are they. now because iceland stood up to the bankers whereas greece is still being subjugated by the tyranny of the bankers and there's granny here who
9:08 am
you see throwing rocks at the police she's a good emblem for what the cops store for them and the politicians agree says the things heat up in greece hopefully the banks in greece will completely collapse and this will be the only saving grace for greek sovereignty. and freeing the skies above libya by lifting the no fly zone and putting an end to nato is process is on the cards at the u.n. security council today it's to vote on a draft resolution not to wind down the military campaign despite calls from libya's new leaders to extend the mission until the end of the year also russia is proposing a plan aimed at making it off the iraq military stockpile secure to prevent libyan weapons illegally disappearing abroad but getting a handle on what's there is proving impossible for the n t c which is failing to deal with the plethora of arms already circulating parties and he said ali reports
9:09 am
. the war is over but the weapons are fully loaded. human rights watch has expressed grave concern about leftover arms in libya their number one fear warehouses thought to hold ground to air missiles which could in the wrong hands take down passenger aircraft it's through mates who are nato allies in the region which these weapons have been flooding libya and also libya is quite a world country anyway the population has. how has quite a lot of light weapons in his possession and those light weapons are becoming a heavy burden on the national transitional council now relying on an army of former rebels for security they would try to control the bends i mean if there is somebody who has worked and we ask him if he has a thursday shooting for this we are not. checkpoints have been
9:10 am
set up across tripoli to check that those carrying weapons have proper documentation and those who do have the paperwork are being called on by the national transition committee to return their arms the question now is what if they don't and what does that mean for parts gadhafi libya and its stability and now as you can see is being secured here everything is under control and the only word things that we will make some mechanism how to give back the weapons but we see something very different i asked this head commander what the plan is to disarm the population. i swear i don't know if you. look. at a makeshift arms collection center that covers one neighborhood in the capital we are showing this. these are the weapons people brought to me today not many walk
9:11 am
down one block in tripoli and you'll see twice as many firearms. do you know how many weapons there are in libya i think just like have to have incentive yeah i think everybody have a weapon some think the front of arms in the country could spell disaster ahead in the vacuum after gadaffi and poster of fault chaos as groups fight out vicious battles for power. what you have now in. libya is schools of armed factions who have no respect for each other and who have no respect for mates or actually either they've opportunistically used mater to achieve some aims and nato has been foolish enough to go along with this so i think what we're going to see now is an intensification of the civil war between increasingly the factions which have overthrown with the gadhafi regime with many libyans ny get ready to say a farewell to arms the m.t.c.
9:12 am
which could only be gadhafi with nato how is now asking the alliance to continue its mission a vivid indication of just how unstable the country is and he said now a r t tripoli or asia times correspondent that escobar thinks the country's outlook is bleak and sees comparisons between what happened with events in iraq. at the end of two thousand and four is syria in oktober two thousand and eleven what the marines did which was to destroy in order to save it and see a need to did to see what kind of death it didn't do when people were saying no he's going to a massacre in benghazi need to end it and see the syrian civil war in libya it's already obvious they will never set up a government because they're militias fighting against militias so what i predict is plunder of libyan resources nato running libya as
