sustainability in our modern societies and how became springboard for the democracy village in parliament square but much deeper than that it's about you know how we have to absorb the homeless and people who have drug and alcohol problems of a city which is reeling from the two thousand and eight banking collapse and what prompted me to make this film was just the fact that. i would go there on the first or three or four weeks and i would film people i felt i was getting was very much on the surface so i kind of made this bold choice and i decided to move into cuba eco village with my camera my tapes and kind of just see where this journey when you know i didn't make some big plan like i was going to make a specific kind of a film it just kind of on ravel in front of me and the things i learned about freedom and activism are very much a case of they're very very deep rooted in the experience in the experience of making a film out there which is that ultimately when you try to build things outside the framework of mainstream society you will have a very it will be very challenging so you'll have

number of police were injured during the standoff outside parliament as protesters demanded an end to austerity. >> protesters occupying the square in front of parliament after the government submitted its budget for next year. the document has tax increases and some spending cuts totaling 5 billion euros, almost $6.5 billion. most of that is in higher income tax, taking the equivalent away of a month's salary for many workers. >> the. for 2013 -- a state budget for 2013 is a difficult budget with a significant increase in the tax burden. all income is taxable and in a progressive way. >> but austerity is already weighing heavily on the portuguese economy, with unemployment hitting a new record high in september. further tax further tax increases will not help. >> portugal, the more it cuts, the deeper the recession is likely to be, which makes the budget deficit gap even larger. >> criticism of austerity has come from a different order now. the international monetary fund managing director of christine lagarde said that the time might be right to ease up on austerity. in portugal, that was a cue for the president to join the fra

the parliament square has calmed down considerably. scenes of violent outbreaks here and now the protesters have been replaced by cleaning crew. yes, they're already cleaning up. the protests today all in all were largely peaceful, some 40,000 people took to the street to protest against merkel's first visit in this country in five years, the first time since the debt crisis erupted here three years ago, and, yes, there were violent outbreaks, but they were limited to fairly small groups. yes, the police did fire teargas against the protesters and stun grenades, but there are no reports of any injuries. we know that 50 people have been detained. what we saw happening in central athens today is nothing that we haven't seen before. in terms of what went on on the political side, of course it was a highly symbolic visit by merkel as we discussed before, and in terms of what they told us in the press conference after the talks wrapped up, nothing really new as we would have expected. angela merkel reiterated she wants greece to stay in the

. >> let's go live to the square outside the greek parliament. these are live pictures. despite that massive police presence, something like 6,000-7,000 police officers on the street, this is are demonstration that's being allowed. and we have seen some of these demonstrations turn violent, the opposition not just to the austerity package but much of it directed at the german leader, angela merkel. she will be there four or five hours. we'll monitor the square and see how things develop as time goes by. of course it's not just greeks facing hardship. the latest figures from the international monetary fund say the world economic recovery is slow. more on that in a few minutes. north korea says it has developed missiles capable of hitting the u.s. mainland and is not afraid to use them. they can hit the u.s. and neighboring areas. they say -- for the timing of the statement, it's raised some eyebrows. it comes just two days after south korea said it tripled the range of its missiles meaning the south missiles would now be able to reach all of north korea. well, joining me

center of athens could hardly be more different. 20,000 or more demonstrators packed the square outside parliament, some determined that the television images of this visit would reflect the widespread anger. away from chancellor merckel and the german embassy riot police quickly became the target. the police have been much more restrained than you would expect. normally by now this square would be full of tear gas. there are clearly orders to try and keep a lid on this. and a few minutes later we discovered why as chancellor merckel and the greek prime minister walked from one meeting to another through deserted streets just a few hundred yards away. tear gas in the air would have made her walk-about impossible. >> this is an exceptionally difficult time for greece. it's going to require stamina and a long effort, but i'm confident that there's light at the end of the tunnel. i would wish to see greece remain a member of the euro-zone. >> reporter: she had brought with her nothing for the greeks but encouraging words. what she'll take away are images that show what damage this euro-crisis is doin

the faces in a square in prague for a parliament that see democracy giving a voice to their aspirations. the young people and the schools whose eyes shine with promise. these men, women, and children of every race and a faith remind me that for every angry mob that it's shown on television, there are billions around the world who share similar hopes and dreams. they tell us that there is a common heart beat to humanity. so much attention in our world turns to what divides us. that is what we see on the news. that is what consumes our political debates. but when you strip away people everywhere, they long to return to their destiny. the comfort that comes with faith. the justice that exists when governments to serve their people and not the other way around. the united states of america will always stand up for these aspirations for our own people and for people all across the world. that was our founding purpose. that is what our history shows. that is what chris stevens worked for throughout his life. and i promise you this. long after the killers are brought to justice, chris stevens
