minister basically saying he doesn't trust the greeks to manage to hold up to the agreements that they've made and tragically the green. the track record of actually doing their bit in terms of what they're supposed to do in the past has been a huge fail so therefore we now have a situation where the greeks have said we'll do anything you want whatever you want we'll do it personally i think what's going to happen is that the finance ministers will probably agree to give greece some money and greece is going to find itself in a dreadful situation where like a nine year old child every friday it's going to have to go to daddy say it's done untold work so it's been a good boy and overall can it please how the next two weeks pocket money in order to pay its civil servants and that's a horrible loss of sovereignty. cut needed to secure the bailout for greece triggered violent protests on the streets throughout the week and of the anger of the people who are suffering the most from the implemented austerity is not going

the the rule of gadhafi well it's been a year since the beginning of a pro-democracy uprising in bahrain the demands from a mainly shiite crowd are simple democracy and no religious discrimination and freedom of expression but the country's sunni rulers responded to their demands by using their security forces from saudi arabia and pakistan now artie's ivor bennett looks at the masterminds behind these tactics. tear gas and stun grenades supposedly the work of a reformed police force but one year on since the first anti-government protests will crushed in bahrain it seems not much has changed the only difference now the crackdowns being planned by one of britain's former top cops john the eights used to be assistant commissioner of london's metropolitan police he now works for bahrain's monarchy which says he's there to oversee police reforms the police have borrowed or behaving despicably their latest trick is to throw cans of tear gas
