universities as the ruling military has a firm hold on power and whoever is president of war have to bargain with them. they legalized intervention in politics meaning that they can veto articles of the constitution if the current constitutional assembly was dismantled they will form a constitutional assembly from appointed politicians and they will choose a specific op of politicians that will not negotiate or bargain hard with them and want to protect the vast economic interests in the country they want a veto in high politics in anything that has to do with national security issue issues or sensitive foreign policy issues and they want legal and constitutional immunity from any charges that has to do with corruption or depression and all these issues obviously undermine the mandate of the upcoming president and more. or less he has very solid support on the ground and capacity to mobilize his

7:19 am
a little. of . every. before we go out. richard because what happens is. most people in the trunk you're going to solve. that by providing the service that more cost to the taxpayer is the british government scoring a goal by catering for the problem rather than tackling it head on and england's better than expected performance has meant all people out drinking and being a weekend time to get drunk because of the later kick off when you take sport and alcohol and you put them together generally speaking you'll find it doesn't matter whether your team's winning or losing in general people will use that as an excuse to drink and so our advice is to keep an eye on how much you're drinking. tournament not just but actually let's remember that between and it lasts for three
7:20 am
weeks if you're drinking a lot each game actually over that three week period your live in might have taken a bit of a battering with p.z. fans letting the side down by being such a burden to the health service many feel it's high time english football supporters sobered up served r.t. and. now a look at some other stories making headlines around the world paraguayans president fernando lugar has been al said from office after five hour trial and the country's vice president sworn in to take his place in the senate voted to impeach him over his handling of a false lead evasion last week in which a seventeen police officers and farmers died his dismissal has sparked protests in the country's capital with clashes between supporters and the authorities. the leaders of germany france italy and spain have agreed to push for a growth package with one hundred thirty billion euro as
7:21 am
a means to kick start the euro zone's recovery they met in rome ahead of next week's crucially e.u. summit the four leaders hope to create a united front or that could. there's a consensus in the union italy's prime minister mario monti warned that if the summit fails so boring cars in europe will continue to rise and weakening economies will face increasing pressure. protests by i believe the police demanding better pay have spread throughout the country with four thousand officers taking over barracks the under arrest began on thursday when around thirty police and their wives seized an elite units headquarters close to the presidential palace in two thousand and three a revolt over wages in the same place where the current protests started led to a gunfight with soldiers killed in one thousand people. it seems that no matter what country you live in of the amount is always a top priority in his resident hours people in new york how much it would take to
7:22 am
make them feel happy and if it's ever possible to completely be satisfied with just salary. how much of an annual salary would make you feel successful this week let's talk about that thirty five. euro per year that would be enough for you i think it would be good seventy five thousand here on a grand hundred grand is forty thousand dollars something proves or the fun of a service five with forty thousand dollars around a better hundred fifty thousand per couple that would make you feel like that's what i would say probably around two hundred thousand dollars that's a lot but yeah it is why do people want so much money and in the united states always think about is consumption but everyone knows that the things that you own own you and that the simple life can make you happy why does no one subscribe to
7:23 am
that it's just philosophical it's what we grew up with it's what we were trained with it's what we believe if you think the answer varies from country to country in terms of success or i'm sure does so what do you think on the scale americans fit and. do we need more money or less money more. yet because we have all the stuff especially in america the money is everything the money we like to live you know because we. live well you know schoolteachers are definitely are in more banks why do you think that schoolteachers earn so much last then people who don't necessarily add as much value as you do. i think it's because we're just good natured and we are caring and we don't we're not in it for the money so yeah so those kinds of jobs are going to get paid less because you're not greedy as much
7:24 am
money as i need. to live healthy and with my family in good shape and. and to be lucky i think that's that's all i don't need that much money no more than that no more than that do you think if you made more than that you'd be happier that's just though i think you spend what you make so no matter what you're going to spend what you make yeah so if you make eighty thousand dollars you're going to spend more i'm going to spend more and i'm getting a bigger house and a bigger boat and everything else to go with it we don't need that stuff. yes a view of. the bottom line is your annual salary might increase but that doesn't mean your happiness will necessarily increase with it it's. the annual meeting of economic heavy hitters of the st petersburg forum is coming to an end dimitri medvedev wraps up the highlights all that.
7:25 am
this is the most important economic event at least in russia of every year and now this is the only place where you can find so many celebrities from the business and the political scene all under the same roof and given that the venue is so splendid it's a spectacular city safe petersburg specially this time of the year when we have a very nice weather and white nights so basically the only turn of the only kind of mood spoiler is the backdrop of the economic crisis of the debt crisis in europe so this has been creating of course a lot of more a lot of anxiety from from all the participants it's been widely discussed and russia has come out basically the government with a set of reforms which will prepare russia for the worst even though we're not necessarily heading towards
7:26 am
a financial pocalypse let's listen to the minister of economic development which prepared to stress budgets an article based on an oil price of sixty dollars per barrel doesn't mean we're exporting a drop to that level is the exercise has been don't understand what to do in such a situation and just to remind you at one point back in two thousand and eight we had capital outflows of one billion dollars or twenty so in such cases time is vital. so really apart from liberalization the privatization of state companies and no capital flow limits indeed russia is focused very much on this forum going away from oil and gas about budgeting not based on the oil price and this is a very nice time to do that to to make these comments because we have seen oil prices dropped around ninety eight ninety one dollars per barrel over these days and therefore the ruble has been weakening very much and this is been creating a lot of a lot of worries. among participants especially in the banking sector but i strongly
7:27 am
believe first far as i know them some of them are russians who feel. the innocent i don't is but. i don't think this is the. living you know it's like we were one of the very poetic comparison there from mr carson well of form is not a forum without major deals being signed and we have seen around free a half billion dollars worth of deals signed during this this year's forum notably in the energy sector we've had a ross never signed a deal with norway stats or literally steady creating joint ventures a form of tech exploration then again we've had infrastructure construction deals and deals in the pharmaceutical sector and air transport so of these are the highlights of the forum it has been indeed a success despite the the negative backdrop of the crisis.
