mounting on the greek pm to resign and what happens is that if he does step in the coming hours take us through it as you say. the ministerial meeting has just finished and mr just asked to go with mr some are asked to the president of greek republic and discuss about what is going on at first if mr samaras accepted to go with mr you're going to discuss the program and then they're going to discuss of the people of the new coalition government but until now we have no answer from mr summer ask the leader of the of new democracy of the conservative party that mr summarize earlier in the day had met mr properly as the president of free republic and say that he is willing to help but that's first the prime minister has resigned . from his side from his party had to say i will resign but first i am in

favor of formation of this coalition government but till now we have no news only that. ministerial meeting is over and everybody is waiting for over for the developments president is waiting for them but still have no wants or from mr summarize. what was really happening here all this bickering is going on over forming a coalition to save the nation at the end was their own doing the exact opposite just playing political games political brinkmanship it was very crucial time clock ticks towards a possible default. one to come and. they are trying to beat each other they are trying to force their to go back but andro is trying to make some are astar sept first the coalition government and some are asked to force the country. to resign and then create

a coalition government but as you've said as the time is limited to morrow is a euro group and somebody has to reassure to give me a super insisted euro group that greece will and will be focused on up to to season after. twenty sixth of october because otherwise their governments of again greek government will not be able to gather this it's france that's means that means that no wages that can be paid no pensions can be paid and now we see a game that's it's not over yet it will be a difficult night and everybody here is expecting to developments really of all three so just realize you've been calling here per year sir and i wrote in your christian name sorry about that but continually back to the story here according to greece's finance minister the country needs this next eight billion euros in aid or is going to run out of cash by mid december i mean surely they can't afford to lose

that bailout money now or is bankruptcy a real viable option at this stage be fake. some analysts say is it say that even their fifty percent haircut means bankruptcy because i agree stuff has to face more difficulties and they have to follow the follow the means the rules and the rules that i.m.f. and troika cause glides to do so. and now. the time is limited as we've mentioned before because the money are enough until my fifteenth of december couple of couple of weeks ago we where we knew that's money where enough till november now when we know something different and everybody everybody here expects a solution because if pensions are not given if wages are not given

the greek citizens are ready to react. take the picture for your own growth you're talking to your friends your family i mean your country is on complete term troops tonight the parliamentary battles playing out just played out tell us what a pretty poor on the streets of greece think about this tonight how worried are. people who could say that in a way they're desperate because when you see the oil in your wage to be kept off and to your pension and you don't have money there are families that they don't have money even to buy food for their kids now and they just want from the government from both parties to find a solution because it's not only no it's not only problem of pasok office also is the party but it's a problem of the two main parties because they cannot we cannot agree.

to three months of all the rest on the streets of greece but what's going to change for the greek people with the formation. a very new government after all this new government still going to go ahead with implementing austerity measures anyway as. of course the arab world is to follow the misery but people need maybe something new something because until now we are very disappointing to this government so maybe they think that something can change but of course nobody can reassure that because even a new democracy or another party comes into power this does not mean that the problems are so we have to follow the miseries of the troika that has oblige asked to do so and until now we do care british says to care for the receipt of the receiver of the next transfer of the loan ignored or to get

to see the money in their butts long to see their bank accounts to be empty for example so much for bringing us the picture live from greece the journalist the rain is. talking to us from athens thanks ever so much. for the greek debt crisis also dominated discussions at this week's g. twenty meeting in canada send it into turmoil and even a great prime minister made his botched announcement of a referendum on the bailout plan or event of drop it shortly afterwards at his missionary followed the summit for the ever changing greek drama took center stage in cannes for the g twenty meeting hero host nicolas sarkozy protesting what he calls the beating heart of europe till the end circulations a resolution which is very strong. 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 can return to athens and cancelled an improv referendum that would have more last allow the public to decide if they stay or if they go when it comes to the euro perish the thought that they should actually be allowed to decide whether they want things euro leaders say it is up to greece to should look like this if greece is an independent country and i just want to say they are perfectly free i don't want to give any idea that we are trying to get involved in crete domestic politics like you wish but france has given some exactly that idea it is no longer an independent country and 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 a budget deficit and 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 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 role 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 two thousand and thirteen reporting from cannes and he's in our in our city. coming up in the program the web

know how many officers are back there we saw a massive group of them sort of a walk down that street before that was the street of the standoff were several 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 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 protests. there's in front of them the mood is an extremely 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 fair but as you can see these was theirs are marching behind us sixty hands but you can't get any closer on that shot but they're certainly coming here to the crowd as you can hear is chanting oakland perhaps you can see over there several police officers with their weapons out shooting here now for these loud sort of downgrade that don't actually hurt anyone but here scared that the protesters and journalists on site. wanted to see well police moving to break up occupy demonstrations across america several arrests were made with force in atlanta from washington with heavy handed police action was caught on camera by. movement began back in mid september the protesters come here it is a cult

democracy looks like. and we see both democrats and republicans talking about inequality in a way that they have not for the thirty years that it's been growing so they're already in the occupy movement is having a real influence on the conversation that's going on. to keep your finger on the pulse of the occupy movement as it continues its rapid spread across america just head to our teams to destry the latest updates lucy catherine all for the rest of us bureau including photos videos from the protests. if. you.

was well actually they never left but pale faced bleary eyed these six men are returning from a five hundred twenty day epic mockup of a mission to mars and back there thankful to be back on earth fellow earth to others it is really really great to see you all again rather hauler warming it's been an honor to having been part of this remarkable achievement five of them are professional really our resilient individuals i have ever worked with it's clear that crew cohesion was key to sticking it out this door stayed sealed shut all throughout the seventeen months of the experiment of course it was only a simulation of a trip to mars any of these six men could have left at any time but none of them did the scientists behind it wanted to see the six men and crew would be able to go

all the time without severe psychological effects from the busy control room i was able to ask them how they got on the four they left how of your relationships with the other crew members changed. i would. not. be waiting for something like that. right or something close for such a. thing in the world. from. the experiment was kept as real as possible with a twenty minute time delay in communications owns the not ship was on its way and the team was alert they could talk freely with loved ones researchers decided to withhold news from the outside world but that was tricky. we had to keep in mind that some information could come in with private correspondence some relatives
