12:02 am
antonis samaras isn't sugar coating his message after this but it will be painful. there is no other way. it would seem that the greek public don't agree with the pm . this weekend saw large demonstrations in the country's major cities and when you look around those cities you can see the effects of the crisis on every corner this was once their saloniki busiest market now like a ghost town ok costas has run this coffee shop since the one nine hundred seventy s. he lays the blame for the current troubles on a political class who are looking out the greek interests if the politicians don't care about the people they care more about what germany has done what the greek people need think the people on the street and invariably the conversation will turn to talk of tax as pensions and wages have been slashed prices and taxes have

soared when the cuts from saw a lot of short from face food and in the same time of a increase taxes it's very very difficult to pay some bills for one for water from the fall of a food with unemployment in just under twenty five percent and fears that it's just a matter of time before it passes the thirty percent mark people take work where they can find it constantine works in a factory that produces industrial lubricants a university graduate with degrees in nano technologies and biology this isn't the work he was trained for that counts himself lucky to have it we all thought to share situation is bad but this work allows me to provide for my family and i enjoy . as unhappy as the vast majority of greeks are with the current situation if the country is to remain in the euro zone an extra eleven point five billion will have

to be cut from greece's deficit to make sure it receives e.u. bailout money that means more pain ahead for the greek taxpayer but despite their. t. towards his plans even the harshest critics of the government fear that a return to the drachma would open a pandora's box with fresh financial woes but here is the bottom line is we must stay in the euro no doubt we have to stay is a simple as that going back to the old fleet will. be children r t this will only keep greece. the chorus of those blaming political not financial woes in europe for the spread of the economic crisis is growing at the asia pacific summit that took place in russia's far east over the weekend aussies peter lawwell engaged a leading expert in the discussion of someone with capitalism and how to fix it and you can watch to part two to part rather special panel here on r.t.
12:05 am
throughout the day. before you. get the deficit is. a question going to. be. capitalism without bankruptcy is like christianity without. a car bomb ripped through syria's largest city of aleppo killing seventeen people and wounding forty others according to the state run news agency the blast occurred just hours after a jordanian militant leader linked to al qaida warns that his extremist group was launching deadly attacks to help assad fighters and then build the syrian social club of pot says that conflict in the country is no longer just
12:06 am
a searing revolution. it has turned into a more regional wider conflict perhaps even some sort of an international war on syrian soil the i personally witnessed first hand demonstration on the seventh of may two thousand and eleven. for ministry midsts the syrian ambassador in london charging very clearly a law is. only and that doesn't need any explanation does it so it is not surprising what we see will hearing that there are jihadists who are coming into syria because most empowers have a long time seen this conflict as the same model or the same you know viewing point just like they did with the understand three decades ago that the problem we're having basically is that the took so long to acknowledge that you had these. you know element after i think it was too late. the u.s.
12:07 am
might have abstained from supporting the syrian rebels militarily at least openly but it actively flooding the surrounding nations with weapons the middle east has been named the leader in buying american arms as he is mounts the conflict with this syrian government's main ally iran may be on the cards and he's going. the world may be terrified of a potential war with iran but for arms producers tensions fear is good business so it is for the united states according to a recent congressional research service report within just one year the u.s. has tripled its arms sales tripled here's how it looks in numbers just around twenty billion dollars in two thousand and ten and over sixty billion dollars in two thousand and eleven so this is six point three billion dollars to be exact according to this report as far as the u.s. share on the global market is almost eighty percent of all worlds arm sales have to mention this congressional service research that arrived the numbers from
12:08 am
unclassified arms sales reports now who provided the spike in sales that is mostly the persian gulf states half of what the u.s. sold last year went to saudi arabia eighty four advanced f. fifteen fighters a variety of ammunition missiles and the just six support dozens of attack helicopters but why this spike looking at the graphics one might think something is brewing here apparently many experts think the same with spoke with daryl kimball of the arms control association here's what he said we often see conflict emerge after a group of states in a particular region with tensions have bought or built weapons so this does not necessarily ensure security but clearly the insecurities of the region the doubts about maintaining peace between states in that region are driving
12:09 am
these wealthy countries in the middle east to buy u.s. weapons. there is already a war going on in the region the civil war in syria saudi arabia and other gulf states are actively involved in that war they're funneling weapons to the rebels in the strive to bring down assad iran's long time ally in the region many experts talk about syria as a stepping stone to iran in a says the war on iran has already started the spiking arms sales could be a graphic sign of it is hard to claim that arms sales is the end game for the us all though it does profit handsomely from the sales in february nine hundred forty five president roosevelt at a meeting in egypt with our little bill as he's been souled the founder of modern saudi arabia pledged to defend the kingdom in exchange for a steady flow of oil up to this day u.s.
12:10 am
actions in the region have been consistent with that goal the us has or md the gulf states to the teeth turning a blind eye to widespread human rights violations like of democracy terrorists turning a blind eye to a lot of things the question is whether the world is ready for another devastating war in the region i'm going to check on our. some of america's largest corporations have had to egypt hoping to bring new business ties in the wake of the country's uprising as the largest u.s. trade delegation ever to travel to that are wild google and coca-cola are among the companies that along with. one of the world's largest defense contractors the push for new markets comes as washington sweetened the deal with a pledge of one billion dollars in debt relief. trips foreign policy has been largely in line with that i'll be expressing sympathy for the uprising in syria and demonstrating support for bahrain's routing family and journalist ramzy bird has

12:24 am
country is now focusing when the comes to deals will vary and with him it was and was there for us and he has all the details. the apec summit here and talk symbolizes the winds of change not just for russia but for the global economy so void yet another crisis. needed and they need it quickly china's outgoing president hu jintao says he's very much concerned with notable downside risks with slowing economy this is coupled with the fact that you still in a deep debt crisis so russia is naturally turning to asia boosting trade in the pacific rim twenty one percent. but the e.u. remains its main trade accounting for fifty one percent so president putin wants to very much trade with the e.u. concerned with the recent investigation into gas dominance. i think the main reason for this investigation is the difficult economic situation in the
