welcome to the program the greek prime minister has narrowly survived a crucial confidence vote after pledging to form a temporary governing coalition george papandreou is far from secure following a week of intense criticism after announcing and then withdrawing a referendum on the e.u. bailout conditions on sarah ferguson athens for us. it was a week where we thought everything it could have changed and yet we've wakened this morning at the end of the week see that everything remains the same at least for the time being we saw the prime minister at half and j. and his government narrowly managing to survive that confidence mission in parliament yesterday one hundred fifty three votes for one hundred forty five against it was very very close but then it was always going to be it's been a week of gymnastic decisions i just want to show you the front page of one of the great nice papers here the headline saying the politicians play with fire and that's really very much the sense that you get from a lot of the people here and it's not just the people is the politicians as well

this was the message that was sent to the year is a need is this week and it was one of uncertainty because we began the week of course with the announcement from prime minister passenger a about the possibility of a referendum on they see bell out plans now we were in parliament last night to listen to his address to the m.p.'s to try to save his political career he did hint that he might be willing now to step down from the place are still a very realistic possibility he said he didn't care at this point whether or not he was reelected he's going to be meeting with the president of the republic to discuss his cause for the new coalition government but a lot of confusion surrounding just what this coalition is going to look like because the heads of the main opposition party rejected the coups for a coalition so we're going to have to wait and see now whether half a jay is going to be able to pull off forming some kind of unity government without them or whether they're now going to have to be included into another possibility a lot of people here are talking about is having trouble still resign and that

someone from his own party could step up into that spot now what was interesting last night was that the last person to address the m.p.'s was the finance minister venezuela's hear a lot of people saying that is the hint that perhaps he could be the next one to step into that role. about mid december they gang need that next tranche before they run out of cash i know that was really one of the big things that the face of a lot of the talks yesterday was that these calls the snap elections really a lot of the politicians felt that if elected it happened j himself that if elections had gone ahead that by the time they finished the country would be bankrupt they really are trying to ram three anything that needs to be done to get this final bailout ciancia cause this was the focus of the year is a need is the meeting of the g. twenty over the last couple of days with allies on greece the focus is also turning now to italy if you see a country like italy start to get the same way as greece and really

a lot of people feeling that that's game aver amongst the greek people here certainly as being a disappointment at a time when they really needed to show unity and solidarity and we really haven't seen that in fact if anything people say what they seen from climate prime minister happen j. is a very uncertain unpredictable leader. speculation that greece will have to exit the euro zone is growing along with the country's debt levels but a greek economist on it says if nothing's leaves the impact we felt across the region. mr suttles and mrs merkel said. if you're ever and what is outside no to the agreement of brussels that last week we will interrupt this to be an old euro zone and in fact the rule with us on this is a nonpolitical thread because there is absolutely no way legally to do that between brick and secondly financially economically if any member that you know so evenly

build because he's thrown out the whole of the eurozone perhaps it's this is not a greek this is a good as a 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 as 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 for too long and when it grumbles then the rest of the global economy is going to be seriously significantly negatively affected. while grease scratches around for cash a major u.s. space financial firm has lost a whopping seven hundred million dollars the question is whether it's just sloppy bookkeeping or fraud salty's financial guru explains i took. some of the 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 were to go it's like jackie mason is running a global system where you go i don't know what there's not going to be gold it was there one day it was over there i don't just mean you got a bagel i got to show me i don't know what about what i don't know what you know what they don't know. yes the kaiser report is here in just over twenty minutes time. but peaceful protest has descended into fresh violence in the californian city of oakland as police moved in to break up and occupy a rowdy that at least one hundred demonstrators have been arrested the tough police

action has also left another u.s. army veteran badly injured the second such incident in just over a week ago. well you can see that some of the behavior since the twenty rated protesters here in the new york police to shut down the camps. on. 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 prime new york city mayor michael. bloomberg is now accusing these activists of in danger in 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 that they try to police minor infractions but when it comes to a very serious crime or violence these activists say they do take reports to the police some media outlets have also reported that it is actually new york city police officers 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 have been safe here and i feel safe here well i think that you know the mayor is this guy thing big screen crimes that aren't haven't been reported what are those crimes i do think that they are probably gearing up to make another attempt to. turn the party 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's destructive doesn't mean they reflect what we're doing or that we promote what they're doing princeton professor and activist dr cornel 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 and i just think he's grown your own david trying to come up with a rationalization without a convincing reason to be. there's anything criminal about you know dangerous about this thing. i think. new york city has. been and. what it is there where human community every human community here. is still supporting the. 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. r.t. . scuffles broke out in washington when police arrested three occupy d.c. protesters that. is for them developments with regular twitter updates. respire this video. says police officers shot protesters to the ground making arrests speeches afraid to free them to take a look back. a few minutes returns to new york to ask when it comes to wealth how much is too much. if people make more than a million dollars and they have bet on their bank account a moral or a moral and sound in general very often this gets the view from the street as to

to turn india into a communist society in their eyes the government is not taking any interest in the indigenous people of rural india and has actually displaced the population from its mineral rich land for development projects the government has called the maoists the single biggest security threat to india and it's held them responsible for displacing and killing thousands of civilians. but far from the jungles of india a new maoist revolution is brewing the maoists argue that the arrival of multinational companies here is actually causing further divide between rich and poor are they want to stay in india without the presence of quote unquote dominating western companies or everyone has access to basic right meet var of our rao the brains behind the uprising the highly educated man is in most senses the opposite of his counterparts in the jungle armed with a pen and paper and sitting in his relatively modern flat in hyderabad rao is seen

syrian security forces have been shelling the city of homs despite agreeing to withdraw from urban areas under an arab league peace deal at least nineteen were killed and dozens wounded in the latest anti government crackdown doctors claiming all in one hundred twenty bodies will go to hospitals in the past three days there's doubt over whether the arab league plan can end the months of bloodshed. flash floods have struck the italian port of genoa killing at least six people the victims included two children and a woman who was apparently crushed by cause that was being swept away by water. is the second in as many weeks of warnings the worst is yet to come. in times of austerity many people wonder about how much money they need for a comfortable life but is it time for the banker rich to spread the spoils or half of this to gauge is where people in new york drove the dying between affluence and

avarice. the general public has been vilifying the very rich lately so what does the public consider too much money this week let's talk about that more than a million 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 for too much one when the limit when millions enough to have i would say if people make more than a million dollars and they have that in their bank account should they be forced to give back a moral or a moral and jam out in general interestingly i saw once that the to 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 would you 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 not 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 to test and kinds of metal from mission to mars russia's simulated round trip to the red planet has concluded testing how crude
