hello and welcome to all she's a weekly review i'm you know and we start in greece with tools between the countries in bottles prime minister and the head of the main opposition party have ended it with an agreement to form a national unity government george papandreou has to step down under the deal in which talks will continue on monday the greek finance minister has said that the main political parties have also agreed to elections to take place on the nineteenth of february and you interim government just to be sworn in and go through a confidence vote in poland within a week and journalist a really is a could do that has moved from athens for us. main corridor i am very sad now and first of all we have the former they have agreed to form a new coalition government second up on true will not to be the bride means there will not be the leader. they have to meet to again in order to

arrange the details but the most possible person to have got to be delivering these to the new government will be the mr lookout spoke by the most he is sixty four years old he is ex vice president in that european central bank has not abilities and he is a technocrat according to the plan is the most to be the prime minister and our other politicians about told to make their congrats to be our own team but probably the most is a personality well respected in the whole eurozone in the whole european union and he is the person who knows very well how to react in this difficult situation one joe will steve be the leader all for his party of plus or party even though he will be if you will not be the leader of the new coalition government but the thing is that to us. first you decide as is the quote if you decide to call or

a friend and then he changes his opinion in a way he tried he perswaded and don't summarize the leader for conservatives to agree with the austerity measures with the agreement over twenty six. don't bear. all this us to trace who created confusion tantalized hearing resolve two of the announcement say that more austerity measures are expected because nobody will give us money because the government is going to change this means that greece the greek us citizens are going to suffer more now seem to be desperate they want to go on the election because they think that apart from this coalition government in february or even march we're going to have an election for a new government but of course we have to pay for the debts and to ask as long as the government has decided as agreed with the troika they have to to follow and to

put into practice the measures they have decided. the greek debt crisis of a shadow they're joined at this week's g. twenty summit in the french resort of can but the leaders of the world's major economies deferred until next year a decision on providing money to help save the crisis ravish well he's an isa now was that. the ever changing greek drama took center stage in camphor the g twenty leaders hero host nicolas sarkozy protecting what he calls the beating heart of europe until the end because some petitions resolution which is very strong. agree 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 allowed the public to decide if they stay or if they go when

it comes to the euro perish the thought that they should be allowed to decide whether they want these things leaders say it is to agree to should. be greece is an independent country and i just want to say they are perfectly free and i don't want to give any idea that we are trying to get in the greek domestic politics. but france has given some exactly that idea but it is no longer an independent country and has been for a while and 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 of beyond what 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 which some hope for the single currency aligns with the emerging economies or the brics 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. and he's an artist to police. the police crackdown on the anti corporate okayed by movement continues throughout the u.s. protests have been taking place for nearly two months now in cities across america thanks week so of the kind of phone in city of oakland witnessing one of the biggest demonstrations says on the gas flash grenades and bottles and protests has

been made of one hundred arrests several people were seriously injured including a us on that train is the second major violent clash involving police and protesters in the city and for shi'ite. witness to violence has turned. and we're still reporting from the so vocal and as you can hear behind me loud explosions possibly tear gas from the police officers there are at least one hundred of the not two hundred three hundred police officers in full riot gear several men as you can see advancing behind us right now on the occupy oakland movement now we don't 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 where 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 we have to remember that 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 again this was a scene 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 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 seen but as you can see these was there are marching behind those sticks and hands baton hand i don't know if you can get any closer on that shot but they're certainly coming here the crowd as you can hear is chanting oakland perhaps you can see over there several police officers with their

weapons out shooting their tear gas for these loud sort of don't know where any of the gun actually heard anything but death in the air scare that the protesters and journalists on site. police and moving in to break up occupy demonstrations across america and several arrests were made with force and content washington d.c. where have the hundreds police action was caught on camera by a teen in new york or the movement began in mid september protests as camping out on zuccotti park are determined to stand their ground they say oh so much he's up to paring to attempt an eviction of his helping they occupy movement and all say it's already won by raising awareness across the mouth. for the first time in decades people are thinking about the degree to which corporations have power in this country and degree to which the way in which corporations that have power have been taking power away from regular american citizens it's been a phenomenal success because over the last few weeks we've been talking about the degree to which you know income inequality is

a problem in this country rather than absurd talk about how we're going to be cutting social security and cutting medicare benefits in order to to fix the deficit problem we've shifted this movement has been successful because it's changed the conversation and today it's successful because people are going to sites like banks that have started or moving their money. and to keep your finger on the pulse of the occupy movement as it continues its rapid spread across america just head to our twitter stream and our correspondent lisa gastineau is in washington d.c. for some protests as who are now marching through the city we're going to have twitter feed for the latest updates from the scene. if. you.

a different regime different government was different and that's why you can see the regional power has been friendly to the situation taking the place inside syria actually some of this country has been following what ben's money and certainly our geology. to topple the regime of president assad the president of syria acknowledges there is opposition in the country and he will extend his hand to what it conciliation within the his country for those people who are asking for change and that's why today they have a constitutional reform but there is an external power or what they say in opposition and exile those are backed by the western powers and some persian gulf country. he will she knows him is coming up later in the program history day for the palestinian. general conference as does vote to

facilities friday the israeli president said that when it comes to iran the international community is closer to finding a military solution than a diplomatic one that experts warn that the west underestimates iran and that sort of result in a world conflict. and he was reading the press reports on these contingency plans being joined by the minister of defense who wondered for an attack on iran was really worrying that if iran is not developing a nuclear missile. be developing and you could be so free so the idea that the americans the british news really are looking towards an approval to turn. around the world sort of true. dangerous place and i cannot imagine a worse alliance these three people in the west seem to underestimate the straight into the arena nationalism that is a strong national was under remembrance of what happened under foreign intervention into the country and how the shah was with that installed and been trained by

britain for american people memories of the shah the way it's presented no the west of the shah is what will regime there will be a bloody war if there is an attack on iran iran is not iraq as of two thousand and one there will be retaliation from hamas and the world is a dangerous place because of these reports. palestine as one membership of us k. this week but the move may cause the un heritage body of faith of its funding but the us catching off its cash contribution of response and it's seen as a major coup for palestine as it is out for the un vote on recognizing it statehood later this month american history of us totally opposed to the bed but washington vowing to use its veto power however political analyst ivan eland says that unesco membership is a positive sign for palestine is he. the symbolic idea that all these nations wanted to let palestine in over the objections of the u.s. and israel is very significant i think and it. tells timmins have been stymied in

their efforts to have a state and of course they're trying a new route they're trying. he's for protesting they're trying this method of trying to get into more and more international organizations to build their legitimacy and i think that's a better way to go than violence the difference between this vote and the one. statehood bid is that of course the u.s. can be in the security council that the latter one whereas this vote there is no veto and it was voted overwhelmingly that people went against what the u.s. and israel wanted and voted. in the past. as a member. the high court in london has ruled wiki leaks founder julian assange will be extradited to sweden to face sex assault charges after losing his legal battle to stay in the u.k. he denies the allegations by two women but fears that being sent to sweden could bring him a step nearer to prosecution in the u.s.

solid as being the most powerful person in a way in the world exposing some of these crimes what is certainly very similar isn't it to the dominick's trust com sexting it seems the really any real basis for this as we heard there's not even been charges over in sweden and so yes it's a spear yes attempt to shut down what is one of the most important media outlets in the world right now. and some world news in brief for you this hour the death toll from thailand the worst flooding in half a century has risen to over five hundred water levels in bangkok have. reached a meter high in places with this subway system a tourist evacuations have been ordered across the city but many people are opting to stay in a desperate effort to protect their properties and businesses the thai government has announced that food billion dollars will be spent to help the country recover from the catastrophic rains which have been falling unabated for three months now.

decided to move home news from the outside world but that was tricky going on with we had to keep in mind that some information could come in many private correspondence and some relatives could break the news in this case any prolonged silence on our part could lead to tensions and misunderstanding they could think that we withheld the information deliberately that's within four months the highlight of the cruise trip was a simulated landing on mars with a long isolation and boredom before it scientists observed with amazement just how little it became for them when they made martian landfall. with nationalists but i think both their pulse rate was one hundred sixty beats per minute now compared with the pulse of the first concert or not yuri gagarin orbit it was one hundred and fifty two beats per minute the outside world to has been in tree from us five hundred mostly through betting on how and when an experiment would fail. making put

eight to one all day on one of the crew members going insane because of it we're having to. wear out we're happy that somebody. want to try we have a lot of money to fix the betting that nobody yet went crazy and nobody went out. so even though it's only a dry run it's still a significant. to achieve that. motion plane. train dancing nazi. run. on to have for you this hour interview with russian presidential aide arkady dvorkovich carrying his views and how to end the world's financial crisis that's after the headlines in a moment stay with us. from
