12:10 pm
dawn keeps order in his neighborhood when the government fails. we don't want to use violence but when golden dawn kicks out immigrants who are squatting illegally . and forces peace in order of course to support them as a government does nothing. the financial crisis has done more than simply cripple greece's economy it's changing society too when asked to describe how local say the writing is on the wall in this neighborhood it literally is in the red it says out what foreigners signed golden dawn in the black out of fashion. it's evidence of a growing ideological divide and with the greek economy still in trouble that divide is unlikely to heal anytime soon lucie county of r t athens. former m.p. va carly believes her fellow greeks a big push towards supporting the golden dawn by the nation's drastic economic situation. we should continue the ideology of ideology but the

it was september of two seven and there was nothing here absolutely nothing except promises and this these promises kept you tried very very hard you succeeded. almost to the point where we said was this is fantasy. so still a few months to go until the olympic flame is lit in sochi but even september the peaks around the black sea result are already a winter wonderland i must say took a cable car to see what awaits the athletes in february. it's less than six months to go before kickoff starts are for the twenty second winter olympics as well as the paralympics that will be hosted by a source here in russia of course we're giving you a taste of what are those winter games will look like and even feel like it's a little bit chilly here in sochi today but no worries we've got something to warm you up with as we show you a little bit of what these olympic venues are going to hold for you once you here i

12:16 pm
be almost a lot minus two degrees today even though it's still the end of september who'd have thought that once we get to one of the mountain clusters here at sochi this is what we would find a winter wonderland obviously mother nature telling us that the clock is ticking and she's ready for all those are spectators as well as those sports men and women both paralympics as well as the olympics ready here to take part in those games. misrule pretty produce being bumped off to be. because of security threats at the original venue in indonesia but as we were pulling online tonight it might not help much because radical islamist there are targeting the bikini clad parade all set to turn the event into a nightmare for the rich and beautiful one we don't more about that's on line it may be tough for supermodels and even easy to put one of the counterparts here in russia has been a very different kind of fashion shoot feeling bored she said she robbed a bank at gun point find out the video of that on

ukraine is eyeing a joint deal with american energy giants and attempts to obtain cheaper gas and ease its dependence on russia but the supposed benefits from proposal leaving some in doubt there's next year if the reports. so then no celestial see ok that's some way to introduce oneself not only did the new u.s. ambassador to ukraine congratulate ukrainians on their independence day in their language but he also made his embassy employees sing a traditional song. to bring more sweet music to ukrainian ears mr piatt said the country's european integration will be his priority as will ensuring an easy passage for american oil and gas giants into its markets exxon mobil and chevron the two companies interested in cooperation with ukraine they will bring american technologies know how and money into ukraine it will be good for the country and will help it become

energy independent. mr piet certainly knew what strings to pool as the energy issue has been one of the most intensely debated in ukraine which has long been unhappy with the prices of the gas advice from russia ukraine has been fighting for its energy independence since the nine hundred ninety s. and when the first stock of the country using its shale gas reserves came up many breathed a sigh of relief but as the time passes by this optimism seems to be waning while ukraine's energy minister was visibly happy with the shale gas initiatives once it's operational we will strive to fully meet our domestic energy needs and to even become an exporter some raised a sensible question would the country actually win by letting foreign companies handle their resources enormously administration of ukraine's western ivanna from course krege and said no to chevron's shale gas operations on their soil leaving the company would simply rob them. under current conditions our region will not
12:20 pm
receive anything from these gas extraction this display of unease matters little though as energy experts expect gas corporations to lobby a law to let parliament issue such permissions instead of regional authorities and while ukraine's west is being defiant the east of the country has already given up recently key a finalist a ten billion dollar deal with shell for the exploration and extraction of shale gas a former press officer for ukraine state gas company enough the gas says the issue has been turned into a major political power play here but it's still unclear how much gas is there and whether it'll be possible to extract it yet everyone makes such a big deal of it it's like cooking a hand which hasn't been caught not even knowing if that had actually exists even the most optimistic forecast suggest that ukraine would not start extracting its shale gas until the year twenty twenty that's if there is any gas at all but until then a question remains pretty much open with this lead to the country's much desired

12:22 pm
foolish thing for ukraine to be doing right now i think they should perhaps of moscow's made some blunders in playing too much hardball with ukraine that that i can't judge but ukraine's future is not with the european union the they have illusions if they think i.m.f. loans are going to bail them out of any economic troubles and the western investors are going to come in there and just cherry pick what they want and leave ukraine the poorer for it with higher unemployment a couple more world news headlines not a series of bombs ripped through busy markets in baghdad leaving at least twenty three dead dozens more injured the deadliest attack was in the capital's northern outskirts with three explosions took the lives of more than fifteen people have mainly sunni districts surged across iraq in the past few months reaching its highest level since two thousand and eight. protests in sudan invented their fourth day as thousands turned out in the capital khartoum to demonstrate over a cut in fuel subsidies protesters burned tires and hurled stones at passing cars

12:28 pm
a barclays bank branch with a makeshift flame thrower and threaten to burn the bank down to the ground after they have refused him an overdraft i don't see the problem with this after all it worked for wall street didn't it the so-called credit crunch was effectively wall street being denied an overdraft and what did they do in response they sent former goldman sachs c.e.o. hank paulson to congress with a flame thrower and threatening to burn the place down in the us they extended wall street trillions in new untraceable credit and last week ben bernanke you promised to extend their over jeff by eighty five billion per month so what's wrong with a little bit of trickle down flame throwing stacy max i don't see the problem here why was this tape don't tase me bro yeah why was he jay z. just doing what the other guys are doing the problem is on wall street they have
12:29 pm
a saying go big or stay home you should have gone into the bank with a flame thrower asking for an overdraft extension you should have gone into the bank asking to have the bank given to him as a present for being such a nice guy and having a grenade a plan throw in a few other little niceties as a bag of tricks yeah well it's more very similar to the situation with hank paulson going to congress because remember at first when he went in with a flame thrower was rejected and then what happened they threatened to burn the they they threatened to commit suicide with the whole banking system and this guy also did that he threatened to after the flame thrower didn't work he threatened to ignite himself so the article is man who had been refused over draft extension is tasered by armed police after. bursting into bank with a homemade flame thrower now the interesting thing is it's of course the u.k. where they're a little bit more stiff upper lip about things jackie clover who runs the clover tearooms opposite the bank said quote we heard that he got upset as he had been turned down for an overdraft extension.
