really wonderful having members of the public able to join in the magic of the evening we've been speaking to some of them about just what the bolshoi means for that. i think it's a simple yes role for them so i'm corey grow from the time go so i respect so much of this kind of. the pleasure to see this. alive again yes i'm very happy to be here during the opening by showing my country and it's the thrill of my life and i'm very safe here so if i can participate in this. the boys both really really does have a very special place in people's hearts are steeped in history and they sing back to say good times what the poster if it was able to do is provide this high culture . affordable prices that everyone is given access to the general public really over

the ages to watch these beautiful performances and i absolutely spectacular opening night tonight as we watch the prima ballerina take the stage to see a lot of stuff out of the pink ballerina wrote the post with big a stunning performance in swan lake that we watched a number of you have a full this is what is really being exactly spectacular at the moment we can hear all me but big screen here we're seeing some of the tricky from the late great people who took to the stage for mcdonald's is in the directors and they all say much of the same thing about just how special the bolshoi this state. and how magical it is that that moment that they say. is the day. they still. really very very excited because once again look we once again seeing more of these groundbreaking people in the post down. by the market. while they were in the past. or right sarah ferguson simpering something

there in a very big night there in central moscow updating us from outside the bolshoi. just let you know as well as backstage and on the ground to bring you the story of the polls show its biggest have a facelift the production to revive russia's most famous. statement through a mix of artistic engineering excellence how technology they show. is done right here in about twenty minutes time tonight. the legacy that survived the russian revolution. the bolshoi is by looking moos splendid than the. grand the core of czarist times this does bring the audience again after a six year rethink. the way the resurrection of the

ball showing. on a t.v. . program coming up for you know the french president is going for greece saying letting the beleaguered country join the euro was a mistake speaking of the emergency brussels summit nicolas sarkozy said greek membership of the currency clubs pushed europe to the brink the leaders decided thursday to have greece's private sector debt one hundred billion euros of banks agree to write off fifty percent of what they're owed european banks must also have a bigger cash pile for guard against any further crisis while the emergency parallel. fund will be expanded to one trillion euros to get there europe's hoping to attract investment from asia the bailout fund chiefs persuaded china as god rather to china to try to persuade beijing to chip in right across live to france now taught lies to a political science professor from where paris question averse the professor girl are thanks for taking the time he could see some barely must distain towards greece

from your very own president sarkozy saying greece got in on false figures well i got a minute since france is one of the top two hero guardianship had to check the books properly in the first place does beg the question a bit then it well you know clearly it's quite true the books were cooked when greece. they were cooked by the government of the time and also by goldman sachs which helped the greeks actually it true nature deficit but if sarkozy said this it's also also the political domestic political reasons you know he wants to sure that this happened before he was president so it's not responsible and one has to add that italy of course it is a member of the e.u. when it was only the europe of six countries in one thousand nine hundred six italy also cooked the books with the help of another american morgan so it's a complex phenomenon some countries do cook the books. and. it's not checked and

the level of europe there are not above the sponsibility is that. hindsight's always great isn't it but you know the chickens are coming home to roost as far as greece is concerned is focusing on greece if it got in on the lie then why give it any more money why not just let it cut loose one why throw good money after bad is the next obvious question i guess. yeah that's a very good question because you know after greece they could be italy or portugal and greece goes now i mean in economically greece is a very small country it's only two point five percent of the enemy in time so europe could survive without greece but in terms of symbols it would be a disaster so they want to agree to keep greece within the euro zone and within europe but. he said it is still short sighted because it's still a stereotype programs for everyone and it's not going to solve the crisis in the long term not just for greece as even the debt was reduced but it was sad probably

the problems will not be so solved by further seriously packages seems to groove they still see the rate increases junk aren't they so i guess as far as you're concerned it is propping up greece again on that life support machine. it sounds like it is but you know the deficit is still one hundred twenty percent of its g.d.p. so it's enormous and at the same time europeans are saying take your belt and your belts it's not going to work. so it's not like support if europe goes on a this in a few months there will be another crisis another need for intervention and no real solution was what is tightening belts is also going to happen and of course the e.u. plans to expand their emergency fund so they want a one trillion euros is lobbying the chinese for some of its cash he said china will be interested in saving europe. well actually symbolically if you ask the

chinese to see europe you ask the chinese to become the new and ensure e.g. money power so this is something very serious and the whole thing the plan not letting the central bank in europe function as a central bank but we know it's in the us in japan or even in britain so you've got all this not you don't have a central bank they can tell their markets we are in. we need decisions and at the same time you have a stereotype program so it's a very very bad recipe and asking china to count your first i don't think the chinese will do. they're not going to throw good money back to save europe just because they love europe if the chinese helped the. cause for their advantage there's always payback is there i mean it's it's ironic i guess isn't it if beijing does provide a lifeline of some kind of putting how much it buys into it it would have more

influence over europe europeans have longer worry them they about surrendering sovereignty to brussels soon they could be answering to beijing. yes exactly you know. it's ludicrous on one level. but then you know if you look at the u.s. the u.s. is also involved in. china and it does not take the measures not financial measures but only protectionist measures to played against the end of value currency china it's as if the u.s. and europe were organizing the transition to chinese. professor here to learn from paris west university thank you being on the program tonight and give us your views on it thank you now coming up later in the program here on our team tonight we report on russia's wealthiest and most wanted woman and why interpol could be asked to track down the wife of this crazy ex mayor of moscow

. next. georgia works hard to maintain a positive image of a country that welcomes free speech an open mind but that's not the experience of local media there many of whom think the hand on the shoulder was saying the wrong things tom barton reports. recently those from make the news in georgia have been becoming the news john doe no touch with the founder of an opposition t.v. station applied for french political asylum just days before nicolas sarkozy arrived on a visit but he was disappointed. i contacted the french embassy and i was sure my problem would be resolved quickly but i was mistaken they didn't make an appointment and i've had no news from them if they don't contact me in the near future i'm determined to go to other embassies. three alessi t.v. is a small station in the north of georgia john doe and his staff say it's mikhail saakashvili

government has pushed him to apply for asylum he says they're putting pressure on him because of his channels criticism of policy and for showing opposition views as well as those of the government or the body of the family we have to work on difficult conditions as we cannot get any comment at all from officials when a government official gives a press conference reporters from other channels are allowed inside to do their job or to later reporters are denied entry where clearly being discriminated against. the georgian government strenuously denies the claims and others doubt his sincerity sun browned on bono attash believes asylum requests are published that he stands but serious insisted the georgian authorities are after him just because of what channel. i'm talking why the record in recent years is not the only one in two thousand and nine the widow of a former georgian president appealed to germany's angela merkel for asylum and

numerous others have left the country priya lets he has need of the resources nor the audience to seriously compete with large pro-government channels but john doe's say's he's sure about the government's reasons. for them. because we're an opposition station they want us to give in and work for them to promote their message but i can't stoop to that. and this is the symbolism of the frustration felt by mr nunn attash villi and his fellow opposition media a mock funeral the mentoring as they put it the death of georgian free media. r.t. . the key suspects have been charged in the murder case of russian journalist anna politkovskaya miley. was charged on friday with being one of the reporters killers investigators allege she was part of a group contracted to kill the journalist in july two thousand and six and was promised a reward for the murder suspect denies the charges. it was linked to her work as an
