snap election saying it would be catastrophic he's faced a barrage of criticism this week of the stunning colleagues by suggesting a bailout referendum and changing his mind. furthur ports from athens. the situation here in greece has been described time and again as a greek tragedy but it really remains extremely unclear just how this is going to play out we saw prime minister jewish passenger and his government narrowly surviving that confidence in government by just three hundred fifty three and he's they say yes one hundred forty five. it was always going to be extremely close it's been a week of dramatic decisions dramatic ups and downs we began the week of course with the calls from the prime minister for a referendum and then saw him back off the opposition not just from the year as they need us but from within his own government as well when he addressed the m.p.'s in parliament we heard him say that he didn't care if he wasn't going to be

elected prime minister again and he also called for the formation of a new unity government but the details about how that coalition government will be formed remain extremely confused right now not least because the heads of the main opposition party hearing greece missed the mara rejected the cools for a coalition so we're going to have to wait and see you know whether mr cap and trade is going to be able to pull off the formation of a new coalition without the support of the main opposition party whether he can maybe get two or three of the smaller parties in parliament. what we're hearing from people here is that really this seems like three options he's going to be meeting with the president of the republic to discuss this coalition now either he could try and get the main opposition party and mr some are involved in these talks in trying to get them on side in the formation another possibility is that we could still see those early elections but we heard mr happened today saying in his

address that that would be catastrophic for the country so it seems that that looks extremely unlikely and another option would be to have been very still resigns for his role as prime minister and another member. the past party since that role now was very interesting tonight listening to the speakers was the last person to address the m.p.'s the greek finance minister mr venezuela's a lot of people here see that as a strong hint that he could possibly be next in line for that role of prime minister is no secret that over the years he's been a challenger to pop enjoy a poll that position say that's a possibility moving forward but a lot of uncertainty still and here amongst the greek people a feeling really of disappointment at what's been seen as further of a sickness is still very unclear just what the details of these plans for a new coalition government will be and this instability coming we asked time when the last thing that anyone here wanted was even more instability. well speculation

that greece will have to exit the euro zone is growing along with the country's debt levels the greek economist. things leaves the impact we felt across the region. mr mrs merkel said. if you are ever and what is outside no to the agreement of brussels that last week we will interrupt this to be an old good result and in fact the rule with throw you out yourself this is a non-critical threat because there is absolutely no way legally to do that if you did and secondly financially economically if any member of that unit so evenly build because he's thrown out the whole of the eurozone perhaps it's this is not a good this is a good as in practice which is being felt most harshly in greece because greece is that we believe of the problematic chain this inability of the eurozone to deal with this crisis is symptomatic of its state of denial about this being

a systemic crisis think it does and as long as the eurozone remains in the state of denial the euro will be history before too long and when he grumbled then the rest of the global economy is going to be seriously significantly negatively affected. greece scratches around for cash a major u.s. based financial has lost seven hundred million dollars question is whether it's just slightly bookkeeping or fraud the saudis financial group explains later. this . insurance last credit default swap take the premium as cash immediately and they're never on the hook for any liabilities because they're causing systemic failure when the system collapses and they say we can't pay out because the system collapsed well what about the money you took selling the insurance against a stomach collapse we can't find it it's junk or sign it's in the shadow banking system where do they go it's like jackie mason is running

the occupy wall street movement has cemented its presence here in zuccotti park for nearly eight weeks now many believe that the city will try to evacuate the demonstrators under the pretext of crime new york city mayor michael bloomberg is now accusing these. optimise of endangering the entire community saying they are failing to report crimes that are taking place here according to published reports the police have arrested seven people at zuccotti park on non protest related charges since early october now some crimes according to reports have been attempted rape and or rape the activists here say they try to police minor infractions but when it comes to a very serious crime or violence these activists say they do reports to the police some media outlets have also reported that it is actually new york city police

officer some at least that have encouraged criminals and homeless people to come down to zuccotti park in an effort to stir up some trouble the n.y.p.d. has denied those accusations we did speak with a few of the hundreds of activists that are down here and here's what they had to say my experience has been that i've been safe here and i feel safe here well i think that you know the mayor is this guy thinking beings quick times that are having been reported what are those crimes that you think the mayor is probably gearing up to make another attempt to. rise from the dark simply because someone walks into the park doesn't mean that they're part of the movement a lot of these out with that even critical of us characterize anyone who is within you know a mile radius of this place as a protester and therefore reflective of our movement but as you can see anyone can come in here and that's fine you know we want to welcome people in but certainly because someone destructive doesn't mean they reflect what we're doing or that we promote what they're doing princeton professor and activist dr cornell west who has

been a huge supporter of the occupation movement was down here in zuccotti park r.t. had a chance to catch up with him to get his thoughts on what mayor bloomberg has recently said just think he's grown rather than your own david trying to come up with a rationalization without a convincing reason do you think there's anything criminal about you know. interesting. human community very human community here. still supporting. one hundred twenty overall though all the optimists that we have spoken with today say they feel as safe today as they have felt since day one of these occupy wall street movement they say the momentum is growing bigger it's growing louder it's growing larger and they are here to stay reporting from wall street. party. over in washington and occupy d.c. rally was disrupted when a car plowed into

consider too much money this week let's talk about that. too much money yeah if someone has more than a million should they pay more in taxes yes they absolutely said yes i want too much money so i'm not going to answer. those ten million too much too much for too much when the limit when millions enough to have would say if people make more than a million dollars and they have bet on their bank account should they be forced to give back a moral or a moral and an ounce in general interestingly i saw once that the answer the question do you have enough money the curve goes like this as your wealth increases so people who don't have a lot feel that they don't have enough as they as people get wealthier a higher percentage of the think they have enough until they pass a certain point whereas as you get even wealthier you want even more so if you made ten million dollars i would give some of it away it's too much money are people that don't give it away and have that much in the wrong i guess it's

a personal decision i just think that if you make that much money you could share it with someone that doesn't have so much should they be forced to through taxes like they do in scandinavia maybe so because sometimes if you don't force someone to do something they're going to do it no matter how much wealth you consider to be obscene the bottom line is when it comes to money it's hard for anyone to not want just a little bit more. more than five hundred days in isolation well to test mankind's metal from mission to mars russia's ambitious project to simulate a return trip to the red planet has concluded testing how mind and body would cope on a long space flight. has been following the mission and hearing reaction from one volunteer who says he's not ready for the real thing. after five hundred.

seals and that was the start of the five hundred twenty days 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 work 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 to have got through what is really quite a feat of an jurist really to be in relation and with a very strict routine day in day out for all that time i remember seeing that some bookmakers have put eight to one of us 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 d. brief period free of all those tensions. later in the program martin the injuries explores how the russian capital is becoming more tourist and what it friendly
