government hangs in the balance facing an ice age confidence vote right now the greek need to address the parliament during a government of national unity and advocating the debt deal struck with the u.s. and leaders as you noted many of his supporters of the plans for a bailout referendum which later cancelled correspondents arafat is across the latest for us in after. their sorry thank you very much for joining us so you've been in the parliament listening to pop intros speech would have to have to say in his defense. would just pop into dressing the parliament over the last hour and cools for a coalition government the head he said that he was going to be speaking on saturday to the president and discussing the possibility of forming a coalition government we've actually got the immediate response from not so far from the communist party they're the first ones to respond to that they said that a coalition government would last about two years and some of the other things that

jewish have and jay said to the parliament gathering was that he wanted to go further he was busy he mentioned that coalition government he also said first of all he needs a vote because of course the government and now the n.p.c. now going to be very saying in that conference a that's going to be taking place in the part of the building right now the parliamentary head is going to gates really the names of every single one of the three hundred and peace there and they're going to give a yes or then a vote still hangs in the balance and it's unsure exactly how they're going to vote what we've been hearing from the over the last couple of hours is this still a lot of uncertainty about whether they're going to support george passenger and the government and the better plans now at the beginning of the week he called for a referendum on the ballot brief hugely unpopular not just in from the european countries in the usa needs but from within his own government himself they backtracked on days plans and today we heard from the final. the finance minister

saying that that was off the table completely maybe that's going to help him here with the vote but the future still looks extremely uncertain no lots and lots of calls to him to resign and we didn't hear that in his address it looks like he's going to try and stay at the helm but a lot of them pieces saying to us earlier that they were going to vote yes only on the basis that that unity government the coalition government might be formed now would still see him stepping down from power has lost a lot of confidence in the public so even if he does get through this confidence in the parliament the public here still refusing to accept that he's going to be able to take them out of this crisis yes sara and it's been a rough time for greece over the past few days and how the greek people reaction to all this. well the reaction today really has been a very similar one one of cynicism i mean it's been very interesting to see in that

address because people here were wondering which way george papa joe is going to go mixed ideas about what he was going to say but actually a lot of people we spoke see had said they didn't expect him to step down he actually made mention in his speech to his political legacy his grandfather his father both prime ministers and the country has been for the fifty years ago having a very similar situation where he refuses to resign and we've seen a similar thing from joe's happened today tonight saying that he wants to go further he actually said that he wants to turn a page and move forward he said he always move forward taking risks but always in the people's best interests well you know people really don't feel that the decisions he has made are in their best interest and we have been here before a lot of people were hoping that they'd see perhaps a big change in the hash and i think that now that could still happen of course remember the confidence that going on right now in the parliament so we'll hopefully be getting the results. that scene and that will certainly be an

indicator of what's going to happen moving forward because what ever does happen now even if he passes and that confidence that in the next couple of days with the talks happening maybe he will still step down there's still a huge amounts to be done here in the country you still have these bailout plans to pass you've still got an extremely critical situation not only greece this each of the year is a feature as well so really everything hanging in the balance right now as we go into this confidence and find out what will become of not only the prime ministers but it's cool feature but the future of the country as well. right. reporting there live from athens sara many thanks indeed. and your and there's an hour joined by yan is a very fine. athens university. yet it rebecca thank you very much indeed for time so. walk and today's vote actually sharing both for greece and for europe as well.

what today's vote will determine the most about and that it was the immediate political future i think it's medium term future has already been signed and sealed he has lost all credibility. in terms of europe i think that. any attempt to but david what is going to happen within the eurozone has really seriously consideration but the fact that that process agreement last week which has become the bone of contention in greece and it's going to be mystical under it all sorts of strife. that agreement is not an agreement that spells the end of the euro crisis indeed it spells the end hunston and the deepening and the acceleration of the crisis so that the vote tonight in the good parliament will only have a marginal effect on europe you know state as things stand it's not looking very

good. if there are reports had that happen check out actually agree to step down anyway up to negotiate a coalition with the conservative opposition what could this scenario mean for the greek political future. well look initially he used the announcement of a friend in order to do same but then he found out that the trick slowly by fiat on him and yesterday he was offering to become john dark of the greek republic by sacrificing himself. in the sake of the people today he's doing it cost me about it he's asking his members he's members of parliament too and i think the same but for at least another year because that list of things he said he has to do as the head of a coalition government of course won't come up because the main opposition party to stand down. along the way you do it. because you like barack

doing the the most gracious of the square he's saying let me give borrowers who are sharing the new regime exactly when that you. you also mention that we've seen pep introverts call for a referendum on the european bailout deal then kill these plans following his meeting that they added twenty leaders in france so how independent is the greek prime minister any of the sessions from your point of. independent into the in the bit of whom how how independent yet the greek prime minister and his decisions. well look the good prime minister has a mind of it's not but he's not good enough for you strategic thinking i think that if you really want to understand the last moves that he's made more there is only one. great deal in that you need to use self-interest he's primarily interested in staying in the prime minister's office and. he's presiding over

a country which. freefall financially because on as a czar do which is and then what. polity as citizens that has lost all belief or all on all. good works and is with regard to the to the good political system so that one of the greatest deficit we have now is going to grab there's the believe the liturgy not just the main governing party but the opposition to our liking that you can see with the greek people looks like france and germany have given griese an ultimatum they could leave the euro zone or pay their play by its rules rather so what's worse for the greek people at this point. to see through that what was it disgraceful noncredit all led by france germany france that mr and

mrs merkel said that if you're ever in the results you know to the agreement of brussels that last week we talked of this to be a no the euro zone and in fact the rule would throw you out of the euro zone this is a non-critical thread because there is absolutely no way legally to put that to begin with and secondly financially economically if any member of the eurozone even little problem of the greeks is thrown out the whole of the eurozone collapses so my message to the greek people indeed to all because in europe is do not take such incredible threats seriously really mean nothing. so what could be the consequences of the greek crisis for the year and for the global economy. this is not a greek crisis this is a eurozone crisis is which is being felt most harshly in greece because greece is that we link of the problem of the chain. the inability of the eurozone to

deal with this crisis is symptomatic of its state of denial about this being is then we going to get us up and as long as they get us on remains in the state of denial the euro will be history before too long and when it grumbles then the rest of the global economy is going to be seriously significant negative effect. on is very fact his lecture at the athens university thank you very much indeed for sharing it with us. q. twenty leaders have wrapped up that summit in cannes pledging to defend the euro and bolster the international monetary fund's resources the euro zone crisis and greece dominated discussions artie's correspondent and also now reports from france. well the g. twenty no major breakthrough this time around especially on the euro which of course took over as the greek debt saga began to unravel in all different directions this week leaders did agree to bolster the role of the i.m.f.

in order to prevent contagion but still expectations that the euro crisis for some time will remain in the spotlight. the ever changing greek drama took center stage in camphor the g twenty hero host nicolas sarkozy protecting what he calls the beating heart of europe till the end because some petitions resolution which is very strong. agree on this and we will fight to defend europe and the euro. france and germany took action with this message to greece play by the rules or get out the greek prime minister made a cameo appearance in cam returned to athens and cancelled an impromptu referendum that would have more last allowed the public to decide if they will stay or if they go when it comes to the euro perish the thought that they should be allowed to decide whether they want these things leaders say it is up to greet. should.

be greece is an independent country and i just want to say they are perfectly free and i don't want to give any idea that we are trying to get in the greek domestic politics. but france has given some eggs that cleavage that idea is no longer an independent country and has been for a while and the conversation is always on what we need to do to satisfy our creditors demands and our creditors are the people who are going to determine whether we survive or don't survive and the so-called backbone of the eurozone could be trying to save its backside with a statement from sarkozy that those who break deficit rules should be punished some with sanctions even if he is breaking the same rules back home in france they're running a budget deficit beyond what what the rules of mass rich provide for the real irony with that is that the french banks are are so desperate for some sort of a bailout and if they didn't get one for greece for example they could potentially go under and could be playing a major role in the fight to save the euro which. one of the hopes for the euro is

help from the emerging economies or the brics but on a condition we heard from president medvedev saying they are part of the i.m.f. they donate money and they want to have more of their voices heard in the financial institutions also in the format of the g twenty and already there seems to be some headway on that then this summit in twenty thirteen for the first time ever will be held in a brick country in russia's capital. a simulated year and a half long trip to mars and back has been successfully completed is the longest ever such experiment in a quest to reach the red planet the mars five hundred project undertaken at a moscow space institute last examined how the human mind and body would cope on a long duration spaceflight and why no says he feels now ready for the ring a voyage after five hundred. twenty days of this trip and.

we are proud to there to to prove that humanity can go to mass we hope that we can help or in designing and in the next the future missions to mars. and we're ready to get into the next piece of green there. this is experiment to see basically the psychological effects a trip to mars would have on the crew and how they would work together inside such a facility now those that took part in this are looking to be part of future martian missions this overhaul operation was an international cooperative mission the russian space agency working with the european space agency to put this experiment into into practice now the crew itself was made up from people from all around the world three of them were russian there was representatives from china as well as from france and central america who will find out

a little bit what it's like on the scene where the mars five hundred module is we can across to tom barton who is there tom what's going on where you are well peter i remember on june the third last year watching this door behind me shot sealed and that was the start of the five hundred twenty day saga which ended when i watched them the door open at last after all that time and the crew emerged little bit white faced a little bit bleary eyed into a into a cheering crowd after all that. time they all stood together in front of microphones and they said how glad they were to work with their other crew members and you've got through what is really quite a feat of engineering straightly to be in stice relation and with a very strict routine day in day out for all that time to discuss a bit more about this i'm joined by ren a partial is head of the european space agency's office in russia rene we never quite knew what to expect when we started this expect experiments and what you

think the child learns after this very long stretch of time. i think there are a lot of things we have learned the first thing i think you see today even without having analyzed all the data we get from the experiments is of course that we see that there are no general showstoppers in terms of medical problems or personal problems present or true in five or six or five hundred twenty days to mutter something else. on top of that so we have of course also learned so much more to selection process because this was one of the crucial ingredients turns to the working very volatile gather and then of course there are a lot of other medical effects and things which we have learned solution can apply even first. immediately even for those later most. of course as you say the selection process kate and it was primarily a psychological expires so what kind of problems were the up against what the fear

is and how they've been overcome. but of course the biggest fear was to have all the problems with an increase. in five hundred twenty very innocent days in isolation this a very tough task of course but i must say that we can say that the crew. has been working very hard very serious all over the place in the trenches days each and every day of it and they. really the crew made it just a success. well thank you very much renee i mean i remember saying that some bookmakers have put eight to one odds on that one of the crew going insane as a result of this experiment that hasn't materialized and i think they can now look forward to the deep brief period free of all those tensions. nascar does next on r.t. . great

. so to. go. our welcome to the show now in the past we've discussed the rising world hostels to five star hotels here in the russian capital about the middle market today no it.

didn't look so bad. as we explore. starting off that out of town officers situated at the former red october chocolate factory a cultural melting pot located near the kremlin is packed full nightclub swanky restaurants and trendy arts galleries. traffic late at night. is a good way to take notes. as one of the main new areas of contemporary. if you want to be where the action is. is the perfect place. to sign the new lodgings. nationalities. this hotel is proving popular not just because of its low prices but also because it's.

two hundred. books and magazines. every year. for the markets. the middle of the range. of the city have serious competition. just one hundred meters from. the church. of the same name.

there are several shops. have. various prices with its close proximity to red square i think it offers the best locations for. people the prices. are. amazing. speak english it has a friendly atmosphere. it's comfortable and safe. i always. like it's convenient location it's very close to metro station i also

appreciate the friendly and attentive stuff you. see often invading army or through over the years but in the twenty first century it's more likely to be cripplingly high prices. to the city as one of the most expensive destinations in the world and accommodation. for thousands of travelers every week. when looking for accommodation anywhere in the world research is the key location facilities design value for money a lot to think of but a little time and effort and you can now find what you want. here is a great example just because you pay less doesn't mean you always have to do without certain standards and to discuss the topic of middle range accommodation in the russian capital let's meet this week's guest you know it must be lovely to have

heard. about well i think it was a clever move from my dad who started the first here in moscow about fourteen years ago so it was probably a way to get me interested in the business and now of course it's a huge responsibility to have my name on the signs you have yes we have two. and one here now. it is a little bit of a problem as well the hotels in moscow as you probably know they're all very different we have a lot of five star hotels and we have quite a few. styled temples and there's really in that we feel that is not well not filled. and we feel that there is a big demand and that's exactly where we are working and tell me about your hotel well i think. we try the essence of what we tried to deliver is

a chameleon stage so we would never charge for breakfast for example that would never charge you for internet for wife i would have it all through the hotels in our. foster hotels. i know and it's like water isn't it so that's really important and we included that about three years ago and it's always included in the rate and what we have done is also maybe. a very convenient thing for business travelers but also for tourists is that we have included the mini bar in the rate and we have set we have seen statistics over the years when people take from it it's usually water a little snack you know if you're working with you coming home late just want something small you know read it toward a room service and way for half an hour we need something something small and for us it actually costs more to handle that kind of the sales of it just has to include it it's always included in the rate yeah so that in the room quite

appreciated the guests and we always sad to say that we are three plus that you know it's hard to say what is a three star hotel what is a four star hotel our service i would say is a five star but then maybe we don't have that you know twenty five meter swimming pool that would. give us our thank you very much weaving on what other two or three star hotels are worth taking note of the hotel. is located in an old building in the historical area of downtown moscow constructed in the nineteenth century this house was a part of a noble's family mansion of course current interiors of the many hotels nothing like the decorations of the old house but all rooms are equipped with new furniture and facilities such as conditioning. of his rooms of various categories. four thousand rubles around one hundred thirty dollars per night

cheaper economy rooms and even. the hotel in the north of the city is a three plus. with six rooms aiming to combine european companies with russian hospitality. accommodation but also several design a rooms named. you'll even find if you can use the right in the center of the room. in the west of moscow. square there's a large hotel called. providing over two hundred rooms accommodation. hundred dollars per night. hotels under the segment. and.

the hotel is not close to the city center but there is a free of charge shuttle bus. metro station. if you prefer to stay closer to the action of the hotel might be a choice for you as it's located five minutes walk to the kremlin just off the central street. designed in a minimalist style thirty five rooms. but you will have to pay more for the hotel's convenient location single standard rooms here cost two hundred dollars. by no means least we travel to the northeast area of the city located next to the. final location acquainted three star hotel in comparison to a large hotel chains hotel forty five here. a comfortable location

a living conditions european standards recently renovated the rooms are bright and contemporary there's a real feel about this. in the hotel industry and i think the fact that it's in desperate need of accommodation slowly. is getting rectified. and the country's. soundproofed room and a large library of books are. very. in the hotel forty five. are also free to use the shared kitchen. this is. a. change. in the many areas of its everyday life. growth and development

why the choice and more competition. travel is yes but now you see if. you will. until you go shopping. so some great choices for you see the russian capital doesn't have to be so expensive to rule. on two and three star hotels see you again at the same time next week until then for me and the rest of the crew from hotel forty five here.
