in moscow after a five hundred twenty day. welcome it's eleven pm here in moscow this sunday night watching the weekly from r.t. it's the round of the top stories of the last seven days with me kevin owen and greece's president says hosting crunch talks right now between the country's embattled prime minister and the main opposition chief as politicians try to seek common ground for the formation of an interim government the country's opposition's been calling on george patton dreyer to resign to bring an end to the only going political deadlock according to senior government officials now pup and could announce his resignation in the coming hours hoping it will pave the way for unity coalition meantime athens is fast running out of time to implement that crucial e.u. bailout plan is designed to save the country from bankruptcy journalist arena. who's
2:02 pm
following developments in athens says the government is playing a dangerous game but the greek people are paying the price. but i'm still from his side from his party had to say that i will resign but first i am in favor of the formation of this coalition government people who could see in a way they are desperate because when you see the your way just to be kept off and to your pension if you dump money their families that they don't have money even to buy food for their kids now they just want from the government from both parties to find a solution that the time is limited to morrow is that if you are a group and somebody has to give me a sewer and says the euro group that greece will be focused on the decision of twenty sixth of october because the money are enough until a fifteen of december. couple of weeks ago we knew that's money where enough

2:05 pm
some with sanctions even if he is breaking the same rules back home in france they are running a budget deficit above and beyond. what the rules of mass rich provide for the real irony with that is that the 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 alliance with the emerging economies or the brics we have already pledged to try and help the euro stay afloat but with a condition president medvedev says they want to play a bigger world 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. and he's in our r.c.
