let's talk about greece during the u.n.eneral assembly i sat down with the deputy prime minister of greece evangelos venizelos to discuss his country's pretty serious fiscal and civil turmoil now i was one of benny's those was one intimidating guy but i have to say that to me he came off as relatively warm particularly in light of the fact that we were discussing greece is particularly is position in the euro zone currently and when i asked him about the social unrest in his country he had this to say. here a social explosion if you will in greece if if this is must we must avoid we must avoid. the danger of social exposure and we must. respect the there. that is. we must respect the second made by people who made the calculation. now just several days before that very interview greece's far right golden dawn party which is described as a neo nazi group was implicated in the killing of a prominent left wing artist known for his anti-fascist views and after six years of recession and with youth unemployment at sixty percent

of greece at this point they're saying why not use the available to all to kickstart the greek economy you think electronic currencies correct i think the key word here is to start and for some something to kick start in a country like greece or portugal or whatever is you simply in the tools for the government and the country's central bank and if there is political weight you can next week simply start paying expenses for the government on their way to some country that's in a share of these new strong returns and everyone has a mobile phone today so it will start circulating into the economy and that firms and businesses will then have the choice of saying well i'm not accepting this new currency oh i did model europe's and then there we get less business so some firms being forced to accept it and then firms are starting to pay their employees yes you know share in this new electoral return say so it's really sort of percolate into the economy and then it can be taxed back again so that the government says that well we pay out in this chair old a new crisis turns it and we take xpe

before for example this would give greece if they had a palo currency a way to devalue that currency as a as a boost to the local economy the problem right now is that the euro can't be devalued so they're imprisoned in many ways by this euro which is being set by germany but get having a parallel currency would give them a way to devalue their local parallel currency against the euro and thus stimulate the economy in ways that other countries are doing what their central banks correct yeah that's right i mean essentially greece in a situation where they don't have their own currency just like say a dollar us country and south america or an american near a bankrupt states so they have no issue of their own europe's and then they should issue their own crisis currency and national currency and the elegant way today to do it do it completely extralegal it no been some coins and these us a lot over extra advantages right so what we're seeing around the world is the adoption of electronic currencies digital currencies virtual currencies they are powering all kinds of start ups around the

and the troika circling if greece is too foolish not to take this direction forward for whatever reason could a country like ireland or cyprus or portugal or possibly italy could they step up and and and be the leaders in this. to fight back against what i call the financial terrorism of the troika your thoughts. is this i mean any country in who is a member of the ural so i'm just have the possibility to issue their alternative scene and someone in this country has come to this and if he's successful it can spread the program was early asked for simply technical reasons you had to make paper bills or even coins to make parallel turns just today you're going to be for the whole nation in the won't sue. actually kelly so i think this is this is just something that's around the corner it's just like the digital camera suggesting or. maybe the depth of the feel calmer well i guess turn on the i guess the obvious question hair is why not simply recommend that greece start adopting bitcoin it's already in place it's an on how crypto currency it's being now used by merchants all over the worl

they're promising changes in greece, to save greece from the crisis, which is completely fake.appy, soare so miserable, so they think they can find a solution by going to these people, who are fascists, like the nazis used to be. >> did you spend any time in greece when the protests were occurring? >> yes. i saw people trying to say, you have to stop them. finally, the government's decided to stop them. we will see how far that will go. >> we got word out you're going to be the guest on our show for the hour and people were writing in from all over the world questions. on our facebook page -- >> it doesn't have solutions, has questions and that is all. the solutions have to be found from the politicians, from people we vote for. and also the european community and others. i don't have the solution. the problem in greece is very complex, [indiscernible] >> do you think now, depending on what shape your film takes now on greece, your future project, is it easier or harder to get financing for films of this kind? >> it is harder. >> even in europe? >> even in europe. but in france

those who do try often end up stranded in greece. private organizations there have been taking care of many of the children who get separated from their parents on the way. >> he makes his living in one of the most beautiful conservation areas in the balkans. the river delta is home to countless rare bird species. it is also part of the border between greece and turkey, a dangerous transit zone for people fleeing to europe. >> these are the remnants of the boats and -- that the refugees used. apparently, the weather was bad and the people would -- the people drowned. only the boat remains. there is the ever us river and beyond that is turkey. it is just 50 meters wide, but crossing is dangerous because the current is very strong. those who cannot swim drowned. >> aside from those who survive -- those who survive end up on the outskirts of this town. if they're lucky. children ranging in age 2-16 live here. they have lost their parents, some for good, because they have died trying to get here. others were separated from their families

of course not no there will be no third bailout for greece balance or so last decade this is the age of the bailiff by the john this is over the bed it's banks as a broker to get all that you've got no dollar euro you are drunk will be left behind and inflation deflation the composition will take a realistic look does. i have. a site that i think. kind of can. do and the banks. all of them all about my. end of the valley that for politicians right the last. ten. years just to flood threat today by. cop. welcome to the kaiser report i'm max keiser you know germany's finance ministry as deny reports that is preparing a third bailout for grazed up of course not no there will be no third bailout for greece bailouts or so last decade this is the age of the belin by the time this is over the bandits bankers and brokers will have taken all that you've got no dollar euro yen or truck will be left behind and inflation deflation a complication we'll take every last nickel and dime. that's right max i believe it will and in fact the bank of england did an online hash tag tweet operation where y

greece in particular has been struggling to cope. thousands of refugees in greece are living rough or spending time waiting in overcrowded holding centers prior to deportation. they are not allowed to work. there are not enough jobs anyway. three years into the debt crisis, one in four greeks are unemployed. the greek state is still dependent on financial aid from e.u. partners. is an explosive situation which right-wing extremist groups are exploiting. but there are groups actively campaigning against racism, and they often risk their lives. to call themselves the wave-o- matics. for a multicultural dance troupe, life is not easy in athens these days. his mother is from cuba. reason enough for four men to attack him on the street one night. >> i talked to them. i said i am in greece. i have been living here 20 years. what is your problem? they responded like they did not care. they stopped just for a fight. >> it is a familiar story for other dancers in the group. they are often the target of insults during street performances. some

deficits have to go back and we have to start paying down the debt or we're going to end up like greece a final one would on say yes or no will this get through the vote do you think this latest plan. well i think it probably will because i think boehner has said he will not breach the debt you know you will not. you know alter it as a yes or no even though i don't currently have it we don't have a yes i have to have dramatic democratic votes to do it excellent to see on the program and the director of the center for peace and liberty at the independent institute thanks. well i spoke to geo political analysts patrick henningsen just last thinks that what's happening on capitol hill is nothing short of political theater. this really looks to me like a w w f wrestling match in other words there was no way and we actually said this last week on our website there was no way that the government was going to default on that simply because the us government has approximately and is not exact figure but two hundred fifty billion dollars a month in total receipts they paid maybe around ten perce

was almost bankrupt it wasn't until the greece problem came around an irish problem came around that suddenly the i.m.f. found itself back in play but the i.m.f. funds itself on the wholesale debt market in ways that are not available to greece so you have a very asymmetric relationship where the i.m.f. and the official sector as you call it is basically picking andre's picking on ireland picking off assets in a predatory nature they're not there to help these countries they're here to ransack these countries or am i wrong to some extent you are right in the sense that i'm after certain expanded dramatically it's monday and its lending in the in recent years part of this is driven by the crisis part of that is driven by the fact that there america has already pushed before the crisis for expansion with lending money if and when the capacity so what daryn you of iron is that happened three years ago there's an i.m.f. expanded the base of which they can lend by increasing the country's contributions to the i.m.f. fun and as a result of that our land which was going into the bailout was

>> the girl found in greece is on the right. parents have contacted authorities in greece about whether the little girl could be their daughter. mark furman is a former homicide detective. >> this baby never been found. do you think that this boiby could be baby late ce sa? >> no. she would be 2 years 10 months old and this child is four years old more like five to six years old by forensic dental exams and is reported to be from northern european descent. i think it is ridiculous for the irwins to make this assertion and i think it is quite stupid for them to do that. >> why? >> you look at the mother. she has never allowed herself to be alone interviewed. there has been reported of her changing the story on fox news of her being drunk. she changed the timeline and then she claims there were two cell phones that were taken at the time of this abduction. if we are going to fast forward to today she is going to claim that there was a gypsy band roaming the city and took her baby and two phones and then snuck back to greece? >> yo

under greece's constitution the three accused men can't be banned from parliament, despite the anger of other mps. >> we really feel that as a party we have to fight golden dawn, golden dawn is a disgrace for greece. >>> influential u.s. investor john paulson he prays what -- praises what he calls greece's government, return to growth next year. greece of course has been crippled by six years of recession, received $325 billion worth of international bailouts which led to its government agreeing to deep spending cuts. greece is also optimistic that being able to return to financial markets after being secluded in 2010. >> the citizens have made enormous sacrifices both in terms of fiscal adjustment and in terms of living standards. however beginning this year these sacrifices begin to take hold with the first indication of greece's exit from the crisis becoming evident. the greek economy is projected to emerge from its prolonged recession and the gdp will mark a positive growth rate of .6%, primarily due to the recovery of investments and the strengthening of exports. >> doing busine

she says here in greece, there are rumors that roma steel children. the accused couple admit they adopted maria illegally, but deny they are involved in child traffiing. cbs news, london. >> one greek school administrator says roman kids are skipping class because they fear authorities will come take them away. more on lisa erwin. the little girl who disappeared from her kansas city home. russ worked there when she went missing and discusses the possible connection to that little girl in greece. >>> folks, it is worse than we thought. now, we know at least seven inmates in florida used four documents trying to escape from prison, including these two killers who were let go last week. reduced their life sentences to 15 years, but caught up with them again on saturday. authorities, however, are still looking for the individuals that help those prisoners escape. >> here's a question some are asking at the university of connecticut. did the college fail to protect women when it came to sexual assaults on campus? seven women claim it did, and they filed a
