the official. from the. video on demand. and. now in the palm of your. question on the dot com. you're watching r t live from moscow now greece's prime minister is having to brussels later hoping that e.u. will finally handover they can on a bailout it has been dangling for months seventeen the eurozone members will decide whether athens has made sufficient cuts and jumped through enough financial hoops to receive one of the thirty billion euros to avoid default our brussels

correspondent has our celia's following the story another crucial meeting is taking place in the brussels to be as the eurozone finance ministers gather after their last meeting with swiss ball for the last word statement today the big topic is still nice as it has been for the past few weeks now and the big question is will these people to secure that one hundred thirty billion euros of bailout from its international buffers the psyche of the such of the country the back of the bonds of those watching the situation a greek default is still a possibility and so we see the exit from the euro zone over some leaders have been trying very hard to keep a positive picture to all of this including german chancellor deliberately whoever of course what locality is the solution of the excerpt that they were receptive come up with at the end of today's meeting all of these efforts to it was probably the together solution to the greek crisis is to meet the deadline of march twenty fourth the depths of the last fourteen point five zero seven that's not able to do

so it would be technically defaulting. just are simply reporting there in order to secure for the next bailout the greek government has approved three point three billion euros worth of cuts in public spending that triggered violence on the streets of athens over the past week as frustrated crowds scuffled with police and authorities jacob griese reports the rage within this hardened greek society is growing stronger with every vote. voting for morse there is something that dubbed by greece's caretaker prime minister has a moment of historic responsibility a notion some especially the greek population feel has been lost on eurozone leaders but i feel disappointed and sad because these measures were imposed on us by foreigners and we didn't have a say as a greek people. which there is a wise old greek proverb that a person who borrows and borrows becomes the slave of who he borrows from an uptick

sickness after passing more unpopular cuts greek politicians are told that brussels i am berlin perspire in the decision on another bailout that and questions over greece's place in the euro led the country's finance minister to talk they were toying with a nation's future this is by no means the first set of austerity measures to be imposed on greece but with a significant amount of coalition m.p.'s choosing to say no it does mark a shift in thinking among governing politicians. share the grievances of the public and offer them an alternative they decided to vote against that because i had to actually as i said in my lead there withdraw my confidence to our partners that's the european partners and the i.m.f. if the greek economy is not restart if it doesn't go down the alley of development that eventually greece we at some point in total forty three m.p.'s in the ruling coalition chose to say no to morris there are they even among those in favor may

remain hostile to the euro zone's message and how it's being delivered i think to such type of message is brussels are helping to european forces and greece. and all of us that the measures don't solve the problem they make it worse we need development we need development for the survival of the greek economy the growing fear among both the greek public and politicians appears to be that year is only. aren't all that bothered about their well being that there's more people as we see . this it isn't because it's rewarding greece have a way to hide away their allegiance last sunday's mass demonstrations a good team ewing for all sent a message to those in athens and brussels though voting through austerity may have been an historic moment as one of the likely to put the nation's problems to bed meaning rather than being resigned to the past scenes of anger are likely to be

part of greece's future. jake greece assy athens. greece is fighting to secure its newest bailout but investment advisor patrick young says the deal will give the e.u. far too much power over the government. what we have here is basically that great scene in the hollywood adventure movie where someone has tripped and fallen over the edge of the cliff and he's being held onto by one armed by the person who we're not sure whether he's the beauty or the easy gonna let them go and let them fall to a terrible death or is he going to hang on to them and gradually bring them up and that's where we are with threesome the european union because actually what is being said behind closed doors and even to a degree in public is we've got some of those going short of learning the german finance minister basically saying he doesn't trust the greeks to manage to hold on to the agreements that they've made and tragically the greens track record of actually doing their bit in terms of what they're supposed to do in the past has

been a huge feel 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 have next week's pocket money in order to pay it civil servants and that's a horrible loss of sovereignty but important is preaching safety first for russia saying its armed forces should be battle ready to face any threat and that's the latest pre-election message from the prime minister as he prepares to take part in the presidential election in just under two weeks time our correspondent sara for us has the details. this is the six of the articles that have been published over the past week and the country's main newspapers the previous articles have covered

a wide range of topics from the economy to democracy so this latest one is covering national security and it really focuses on the need to upgrade the country's armed forces and to that end the prime minister outlines how self defense cuts for the country really remains top priority and. we will under no conditions give up our strategic deterrent capability on the contrary we will strengthen it russia cannot rely on diplomatic and economic methods alone to remove contradictions and resolve conflicts. our armed forces special services and other security agencies should be prepared to provide quick and effective responses to new challenge now the full text. to be accessed on our website c dot com thanks very much on topic the prime minister is a visiting the country's far east today where he's under me.
