>> this is "bbc world news." funding for this presentation is made possible by the freeman foundation of new york, stowe, vermont, and honolulu. newman's own foundation. shell and union bank. >> union bank has put its

financial strength to work for awide range of companies. from small businesses to major corporations,what can we do for you? >> and now, "bbc world news." >> the greek prime minister takes a stand that calls for a referendum on the u.n. zone bailout plan. china launches itself into the space race with a mission to build a permanent station orbiting the earth. it's a time of peace in a country bristling with weapons. how can libya deal with a stock pile of arms? >> welcome to "bbc news." i'm david eades. >> coming up, the victims of drone strikes take their campaign for justice to the courts. >> and how one m.p. sought to seek safety in its nuclear

plant. >> hello. if you thought for a moment the euro crisis was running into any calmer waters, think again. prime minister has sprung a surprise by calling a national referendum on the deal thrashed out in brussels last week. with greece at the heart of the proposal, the whole package of proposals and measures is being thrown into doubt. >> he doesn't look like much of a gambler but george papen drea has dramatically raised the stakes. he wants the bailout deal to be put to a vote of confidence in parliament and nationwide referendum. >> we have a duty to give priority to and highlight the

role and responsibility of the citizens. showing in practice not only our respect but also our fundamental thinking that the citizen is the source of our strength and of our very existence. this, dear colleagues, is the referendum. >> it's protests like these that have forced his plan. many greeks are angry about the bailout and the austerity measures that go with it. but the overall deal could lead to more turmoil in the euro zone. it led with changes in the investment market and the local economy is thought to be on the verge of a new and deeper recession. and m.f. global filing for bankruptcy protection. so attention now turns to the french city of cannes where preparations are under way for the g-20 meeting later this

week. and the challenge facing world leaders, can they finally get to grips with the crisis in the euro zone? >> so as greece hits the headline, do greece's neighbors hit the sfloof let's go to steve in berlin, do you have any response yet? >> embattlement is coming from the government itself. the statement from the finance ministry is it's a matter for greek domestic politics but it expects obligations to be maintained. but the economics minister, no less, until four months ago, said quote i was irritated by the news. this sounds to me like someone is trying to wriggle out of what they agreed to do. one can only do one thing, make the preparations for the

eventualty that there's a state insolvent as i in greece. so the official position is silence with a minimal statement saying we expect obligations to be met, but the word music and mood music is irritation. >> steve, thank you for that. and the mood music we're going to have a look at now. sally is with me and you're reflecting on what what the markets are doing and they certainly represident-elected what poppin' drea was speaking of. >> yes. germany down 34%. germany, the german taxpayer is bearing the biggest burden. france down 3 1/2. and the likes of b.n.p. paribas shares were down 10%. the ftse at the bottom of the italian markets, a lot of concern about the markets and the ftse for london markets

faring the best because here in the u.k. we are not actually officially involved in the u.n. bailout. >> so all those gains with italing away. >> there's so much, i don't want the overplay it, but the fear factory is back. having had that deal that was so difficult to broker last week between european leaders and then the markets kind of rose off the back of that. well, that's now gone. they have been taken at the knees again the investors today and the share markets are really reflecting the worry out there about what does this mean? this move by george papen drawo ? >> and you have news not likely to be encouraging. >> no. we always seem to get u.k. numbers so in the next half-hour we should have the gross figures for the u.k. a smidgen of growth what we're

expecting. maybe a little more would be nice but not no growth. >> we'll see you in a half-hour then. >> thank you. >> china has successfully launched a space craft which will anticipate the to dock with a caps sule already orbiting the earth. the docking maneuver itself is part of a program that will see china build a space station within the next decade or so. >> michael bristol reports from beijing. >> shin joy lifted off right on time, carried by a powerful rocket for a rendezvous in space. it is adapted to link up with a caps sule already in orbit. some time over the next few days shen joy will teammate dock with the caps sule.

china wants to build a space station within 10 years and needs to perfect this docking maneuver to do so. if it is successful they will launch more next year with at least one with astronauts onboard. it's only now that doing things russia and the u.s. did years ago, but it's determined to push ahead quickly. all of china's top leaders turned up when the caps sule was launched in september. an indication of just how important this project is for national pride. the whole country will now be watching to see if shin joy can complete its mission. michael bristow, bbc, beijing. >> and the artist says he is being pursued by the chinese government for $2 million in back taxes and fines, his

family says he is being punished for his words on social leadership. more than 70 people have been arrested on raids in national drug trafficking. $33 million worth of drugs every month from mexico into arizona's western desert. a 14-year-old australian boy was arrested for allegedly buying marijuana on a beach last month. the teenager is facing six years in jail, the case has been adjourned until friday. >> well, no more fighting, but still plenty of weapons. that's the reality of life in libya. all a legacy of colonel gaddafi's buildup after a stock smile pile of four decades of being in power. they are being asked to stamp

out the proliferation of the looted arms and say they could fall into the hands of al qaeda and other militant groups. >> the battle of libya. a brutal conflict that left countless dead. the u.n. is worried some of the arms could fall into the hands of al qaeda and other militant groups. >> help in accelerating the process of peace building and peacemaking in the region when people disarm. then peace follows. >> many weapons were destroyed in nato air strikes like these, but officials say it's not clear how many are still in circulation. nato ended its operations in libya on monday but it's offered to help the interim government. >> i have offered n.t.c., our assistance, if we can be of help in the transformation of

libya from dictatorship to democracy. for instance, when it comes to reform of their defense and security, their defense and security sector. having said that, individuals of course can help the new authorities in libya upon request. >> the hunt for colonel gaddafi's weapons is just one of the issues facing this man, the new prime minister. >> we have to build a nation, a nation that expects [inaudible] and does not permit abuse of human rights. but we need time. >> life is returning to normal in many parts of libya. the country faces huge challenges. unemployment. lack of infrastructure and the

number of weapons in circulation. the war may be over but the hard work of rebuilding libya is just beginning. richard forest, "bbc news." >> we are going to have a look at sports. we're looking on the wrong side of this again. fist cuffs to go with football. >> yes. our attention has been called to this disturbing incident. a fan coming on there and punching george. actually broke his cheekbone and that fan has been charged with a public disorder offense but watch what happens after this. watch how some of his teammates then get involved with the fan themselves before he was finally rescued by security staff. so two players after the melee followed were actually sent off for their involvement in thatt then it really did kick off after that. fans began throwing flares on

to the pitch and the match had to be abandoned but this is the initial hit with the broken cheek bohn but then other players get involved. >> what do you make of that? awful. >> i mean, that was almost a kick to the head. that could be very serious. >> should we move on from the game of roughians. >> so they say. well graham henry is stepping down as the world cup coach because he probably thinks what else can i do? he was the coach four years ago when they went out early on and he stayed on and won the world cup. >> mike, thanks a lot for that. you're watching "bbc world news." thank you for watching. coming up in a moment, well, quite a scene this. believe me, it's safe, that's the message from the water.

what's the story? we'll have more for you. >> now within just a few days leaders of the world's richest nations the g-20 will be gathering in france. hopes are pinned on nations like india whose economy is seen as a path and engine for growth. >> the numbers are overwhelming. each month india's population grows by another 1.3 million people. it could be a curse yet something so many young indians in the world could have benefits, too. india's on course to have the world's largest population. could it also have the largest economy? we're going to find out and take a journey into one of the icons. our first stop is another icon. but this one now far from home.

india has become the biggest market in the world for britain's j.c.b. it has its largest factory here. could others match it? >> the opportunities are tremendous. what's important is staying on the ground, staying committed. >> india is already the world's fourth biggest economy behind the u.s., china and japan growing at 8% a year. only china is faster and is the third biggest investor in the u.k. its ace card is more than 600 million under 25 if it can harness their energy and drive. next stop, a place where younger indians are already helping build the foundations. designing houses in delhi for you know what i mean dover and done caster. the owner grew up in britain but saw better opportunities here. >> we have adopted an

outsourcing model and outsourcing work from the u.k. to india and india to the u.k. and we're in essence creating jobs in the u.k. by having a studio in india. >> but india still has its own way of doing business. places like wal-mart are not sure it wants to let the whole world in. corruption and its still creeping infrastructure keep other investors away. >> that's the thing about the indiaen economy, they say it's a bit around this, the makers have kept it going for more than 50 years adapting it as much as they can but it can only go so far and so is fast without falling apart. >> one more baby born in india. this one named today is the 7 billionth in the world. a blessing that could help it become an economic super power or the burden that holds india

back. andrew north, "bbc news," delhi. >> this is "bbc world news." i'm david eades. these are the headlines. the greek prime minister calls for a referendum on the euro zone bailout deal thrashed out in brussels last week. china launches itself into the space race with a mission to build a permanent station over india. survivors of u.s. drone strikes in pakistan and families enter reeved by those strikes are planning legal action in the country's supreme court. the c.i.a. is said to have carried out over 300 drone strikes with more than the,000 people losing their lives, the majority are thought to be suspected militants but campaigners say hundreds of innocent civilians are also among the dead.

>> a rare glimpse of a remote controlled killer. a pilotless u.s. drone. in the skies over pakistan's tribal belt. the targets are suspected militants. and many senior table and al qaeda commanders have been killed. washington refuses to admit it's using the missiles here. opponents say it's murder. these men have lost eight relatives between them. the dead were guilty of nothing they say, expect living in the wrong place. sodola also lost both legs, one eye and his hope for the future. >> i wanted to be a doctor, he told me. but i can't walk to school anymore. when i see others going, i wish i could join them. viewed from a drone, any man in the tribal areas can look like a target stays pakistani lawyer

taking on the c.i.a. >> table or non-table would be dressed in the same way. everybody would be having a beard and turbine and a.k.-47, so anyone could be a target. >> the british legal charity, reprieve, is gathering evidence about the hidden victims of this covert war. >> you know what really tugs at my heart strings with this particular bit of metal is it was orchestrated last year and almost certainly was the missile that killed a small child up in waziristan, and off 3-year-old son myself, and the idea that this thing killed someone very much like my little will really tugs at your heart strings. >> protesters have taken to the streets in islamabad clamoring for justice from pakistan's courts and its government which turns a behind eye to the drone. >> the message here is with

killing innocent they are counterproductive and say the drone strikes are a table recruiting tool. >> but washington will probably be unmoved by all this. increasingly drones are its weapon of choice. "bbc news," islamabad. >> more aftermath in the capital of bangkok are all because of the floodwaters. we have pictures coming into us. this is the late afternoon scene. it's as if nothing's changed day after day after day now, and this could be replicated in areas of thailand still under water. in bangkok itself residents demanded a gate be opened to let water out of their neighborhood but city officials anxious that by doing that,

they could end up inundating parts of the city that are still dry. covering the flood crisis for weeks, our correspondent told me of the people's frustrations. >> there's no doubt there's re-sent meant that some areas and the reason is the government has made such strenuous efforts to protect bangkok. they have allowed some waters to flow through so parts of bangkok but tried to keep the inner city dry. that has been largely successful but there are consequences, that is that the areas around the outskirts on the other side of the barriers have been hit exceptionally hard. so if you're on the wrong side if you will, of the flood barriers, you are perhaps understandably upset because there's a sense in those

communities in they have been sacrificed for the center of the city. there's no doubt at all that in communities that have been living in this water sometimes chest deep and that water getting increasingly dirty, they are getting increasingly angry. >> someone who became somewhat of a yes rememberty -- authorities accused her along with 10 ores of being russian sleeper agents in the u.s. and in a rare move the f.b.i. shows a rare video of them under surveillance. >> what you're seeing now is a rare glimpse into the world of counterintelligence. the woman shows here is says the f.b.i. anna chapman the new york estate agent and russian spy. she is under f.b.i.

surveillance captured on a secret camera. here we're told christopher metsas conducts an exchange and here he recovers something from a drop in bushes where it's been hidden by another agent. all these videos were released by the f.b.i. >> there were more than 10 people in this spy ring. for years they lived here in the state and built lives for themselves and raised kids and supported american sports teams and supposedly they were ordered to cultivate contacts in america's power elite to seek out sources of intelligence. >> and we now know for years commapman and her co-conspirators were under surveillance and all deported last year. back in moscow, anna chapman became an instant celebrity.

the b.b.c. asked her about her secret past. >> who told you you were a secret agent? >> i will never deny or confirm the fact. >> they maintain the spy ring never gleaned much if any secret intelligence but the f.b.i. shows us just how far u.s. counterintelligence went to hunt them down. >> to another big story in the states. the prosecution in the trial of michael jackson's doctor has cast down medical evidence for the defense. of dr. paul white. he said the singer gave himself a lethal dose of propose thol but then admitted he'd never heard of that and admitted dr. murray conducted some improper

acts. >> and to prove decontamination efforts are working at the power plant in china. i'm afraid he his handshakes, he was challenged by journalists to show the states so that was the best way he could do it he downed the glass of water that had been collected from inside plant and decontaminated. in tokyo, was he sort of forced into that? >> he said he wasn't forced into it but challenged by the journalists repeatedly during these press conferences and they can last five hours but to prove that this decontaminated water was safe, and that's why he said he chose there to drink it in front of the journalists who very publicly put on

display his face in the decontamination process. now, this water is essentially from a radioactive puddle inside fukushima plant and much of it has been decontaminated since and it's being used for things like watering plants. what he was being challenged on was whether that practice was safe. so even though this water is not for human consumption normally at the plant, he decided he was going to drink it. >> roland, i'm not sure what was more reassuring, his drinking of the water or his handshaking as he was pouring it. you can get ahold of me on my twitter page@b.b.c. david eades and as you go to the website look at the news out of the

euro zone. we're focusing again on george -- george papen drea's words. >> funding was made possible by the freeman foundation of new york, stowe, vermont, and honolulu. newman's own foundation. union bank. and shell. >> this is kim. about to feel one of his favorite sensations. at shell, we're developing more efficient nules countries like malaysia that can help us get the most of our resources. let's use energy more efficiently. let's go.

>> union bank has put its financial strength to work far wide range of companies, from small businesses to major corporations, what can we do for you? >> "bbc world news" was presented by kcet los presented by kcet los angeles.
