8:02 am
main opposition party here in the country has rejected calls for a coalition and once again called for the early elections they're playing more of one thing one off each other and trying to see who's going to blink first so just to see whether or not much national unity will be created we feel the prime minister meeting with the president of the republic to discuss the formation of that national unity government whether that will be able to go ahead without the support of the main opposition party some thirty possibly talk to someone else the prime minister's role this instability coming at the point of the full weight of the future years and the last thing anyone wanted right now with even more instability it seems that's exactly what they cut it out like change within the at the end of the week it seems that much actually still remains the site but for how long and what form that government will survive remains on. germany and france

8:04 am
it comes to the euro perish the thought that they should actually be allowed to decide whether they want these things euro leaders say it is up to greece to do surely like this if greece is an independent country and i just want to say they are perfectly free so i don't want to give any idea that we're trying to get domestic politics. but france has given some exactly that idea prison or longer an independent country has been for a while 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 about it never said above and beyond what what the rules of mass rich
8:05 am
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 some hope for the single currency lies with the emerging economies or the brics who have already pledged to try and help the euro stay afloat but with a condition president medvedev says they want to play a bigger war in financial institutions like the i.m.f. and the group of twenty format already it seems some headway there as for the first time ever the g twenty summit will be held in a brics country and it takes place in moscow russia in twenty thirty reporting from cannes and he's now in our city. and coming up on a story day for the palestinians. the general conference as those who keep. up the draft resolution and to meet palestine as member don't you know.

8:07 am
protesters had barricaded the street from the police several several pieces of furniture and whatnot were lit on fire but again not enough of an action to provoke this kind of a militant response by the police force here earlier thousands marched peacefully on the port of oakland shutting it down no arrests reported whatsoever in fact we didn't even see any of the police officers out there and yet after the peaceful march this was seen unfolding on the streets of oakland no other media outlets no other television outlets here on the frontlines we have been standing here we have seen tear gas fired several protesters injured from the tear gas in fact you can smell it in the air right now i wish i could describe it better but a very intimidating show of force when you have this line of police. slowly marching forward with protesters in front of them the mood of think stream we tense we don't know how this will develop but people are sort of running out from the side streets that perhaps there's more confrontations down that way whether or not they're going to clear the camp remains to be seen but as you can see from these
8:08 am
