authorities think that greeks have a lot more to do. they are a lot less confident than chancellor merkel says she is, but they think the bailouts will achieve their results. many germans believe that greece will ultimately have to leave the euro. they are also a little puzzled, i think, that greeks do not seem as grateful as many germans believe they ought to be about germany's financial contributions to back up greece. they feel that money is being wasted and ordinary greeks seem to be ungrateful to boot.% >> thanks very much for that. -- and grateful to -- the economy is shrinking at a rapid rate of 6.5%, so how are company's managing to keep their head above water at all? here is one example. and he urgently needs new foreign customers. domestic sales have collapsed by 80%, but the engineer is finding it harder than anticipated to do business abroad. right now, he is trying for a foothold in india. >> even the farthest indiana backwater we try to sell to has heard of the crisis. people get the information from the internet and local

of greek gdp. that's huge and of course reflected in unemployment. so she's visiting a country which is going through a very tough period which has undergone by all accounts the harshest austerity program in any coun y country. >> what is the relationship between the greek and german governments? >> there is a close working relationship and i'm glad to hear from the german side recognition of the effort and results since the beginning of this whole story in 2009. >> there was a period last year when it came out we are prepared it to let greece leave the euro. do you think they generally meant that or was that political gamesmanship? the statement seems to be we want degregreece to keep them i euro because they're worried about contagion to spain. >> i think people were thinking that you can quantify and deal with a greek exit and i'm glad to see that that view has been defeated. at the moment, it is certainly the not the dominant view. there is no such thing as an orderly exit from the eurozone. an

greeks don't like their politicians. there's a lot of anger against the political class for "lining while ordinary greeks are suffering. while ordinary greeks are struggling with austerity measures, others are stashing their money abroad in swiss bank accounts and possibly avoiding taxes. >> sounds like the court case will be interesting. thanks very much. the ukraine's ruling party has claimed victory in parliamentary elections. the party of regents has a significant lead and looks set to retain its majority in parliament, but to do complicated electoral system, the final results are still some way off. can you explain the results we have gotten and what we are waiting for? >> about half of the votes have been counted. but the ukrainian parliament is divided in half. half of the seats are elected directly through direct mandate and the other half through . party lists through. party seems tos have gotten it so far around 35%. their main allies, the communists, have gotten 15%. so that is 50% and of the proportional seat

they are celebrating greek unity. some houses have been at san jose state for more than a hundred years, while others weren't even around to see the new milennium. it has proven difficult to get over 40 chapters to work together as one organization. diana rubio, student engagement coordinator: "you're talking about 10, 15, 20 members where some of them are a hundred so when it comes to doing socials or joint events at a smaller scale, it is harder to have unity i guess." greek organizations participate in only a handful of events over the course of the year. this one happens to coincide with homecoming week. (nat pop of students cheering during relay races) on monday, students ran relay races, balanced eggs, and showed their colors on the lawn outside the event center. they also signed up for a competition to decorate a house on greek row. kappa delta chair whitney smith was overseeing a group of seven different houses decorating alpha-tao-omega. "i would say this is probably one of the biggest, to get all the greeks

but also as a greek citizen because i'm also greek and i can tell you the historical decision of the greeks in favor of the financial transaction tax is the core says that the greeks want to be with the nations that go ahead into fiscal union which is a federal fiscal state and that's what we will see let me ask let me. let me let me ask a beautiful name and david is pension please robert david is this democratic having a more federal union right now without asking the people themselves. well no i absolutely not i mean that you know consultation with the people you're govern with consent is the absolute bedrock of democracy and i agree with robert's a point to make an argument that the european union as currently structured is truly democratic is a pretty shaky one you know not least because the the commission isn't directly elected sure the european parliament is selected but that's one of the weaker components eyes as the other guest says you know their choice has to be made in this but that's where the contradiction lies with a lot of the great chance to move are going to go to a

have committed suicide since the banking collapse started and the banks there's demand of the greek government cover the cost of the bank's crimes. but there are alternatives in iceland which was hit harder by the banks or crisis than any country in the world the people voted twice to tell the banks no yes planted banks there's one of the governments who make them whole but the icelandic people told the bankers to go to hell they fired the bankers and some of them are actually facing criminal charges and iceland with the relative autonomy of having their own currency like the rest of the scandinavian countries is doing pretty well right now the fastest growing economies all of europe a subtext to both of these stories is that inequality is rising quickly in all of the countries of europe that are embracing the same sort of austerity the republican party is pushing here in the united states and that inequality has its own side effects. meanwhile the nations that said no to the banks toure's into austerity like ice land in scandinavia the scandinavian countries are not only doing fine

and for the first time unemployed greeks who had lost their health benefits now had to pay out of their own pockets for any medical care they needed if that sounds familiar to any of those are you in the us and here in the united states that's australia to us because that's essentially how our health care system works today in america if you don't have a job you don't have health care you're on your own and while conservatives here tout our health care system as the boast of the world even though every international study disproves this claim the greek people are horrified with what they now have to deal with americanised health care as dr kostas surreal goes the head of greece's largest on college apartment told the times of the york times we are moving into the same situation that the united states has been in where when you lose your job and you are uninsured you're not you're not you aren't covered today that's the case for roughly half of greece's one point two million long term unemployed workers one of those unemployed workers is a woman named alina who was diagnosed with breast

greeks are proud people. they deliver support for greece to stand. handoff and despite the fact this is a difficult path, it will prove worthwhile. if you don't get to solve the problems now, they will reoccur later in a much more dramatic way. >> in difficult times lie ahead. greece has to make further savings to qualify for more funding. without it, the country runs out of money in november. they said greece is likely to miss the target. >> for more on the less than hospitable welcome she received just a short time ago, seeing those pictures in the report of people wearing uniforms, it makes you wonder if it is possible for germany and greece to be in the same financial house. >> there are many that would ask that. the intense anti-german feeling, references are not the overwhelming opinion. there are the other greeks that say that he had can't blame germany for our problems, we elected a government that mismanaged the situation and borrowed money that we did not have. that intense animosity is now predominantly felt here. from the government, and

> in a small greek theater, they are lost. among the actors inside, rising panic. the manager is speaking frankly to the athens chief of police. outside, supporters of the far right party throw bricks and punches. the performance of a play called "corpus christi" goes ahead symbolically to just 20 people. even days later, the director of the play is stunned by what happened. >> what happened that night, it was like a critical mass. many people, they have called my mother, they said to her that we are going to cut down your son and pieces and bring you a box. your son will be in that box. so it is not a performance anymore. it days, do we have a democracy in this country or do we have a dictatorship and nobody is telling us? if we have a dictatorship, then europe must do something. >> this is the man who led to shut down at the theater, the defacto commander of the attack squads. the policemen may come here to buy these? >> yes. >> the shop that he owns sells the paraphernalia of civil conflict, and civil conflict is what he in

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 from seoul is john, an associate fellow with the asia program watt the chatham house of think tank. thank you for being with us. first of all, let's talk about this claim from north korea. is it at all credible? >> well, it's credible in the sense that north koreans have in developing their ballistic missiles developed their technology but still very much a technology that hasn't demonstrated what they and north korea have been claiming. when they claimed to launch

greek officials say they will run out of money next month without more aid. the troika, made up of officials from the imf, european commission and european central bank, meet today to talk about the status of greece. meanwhile, greek workers are set to stage another round of general strikes. the financial crisis in europe is providing an opportunity for china. liz alderman, a writer with the new york times, joins us this morning via skype with a report on a chinese shipping company. good morning to you. > > good morning. > > how successful has this shipping company, known as cosco, been so far in greece? > > it's an interesting story. this chinese basically state- run shipping company came in here about three years ago in a $500 million deal that ever since then has been a model for the country, because what they did is they bought half of piraeus port, which is an ancient port in greece and one of the most important ports in the southern mediterranean. what they did was they basically took an operation that had been effectively lagging under greek ownership

it will take time for the greek state to make any real money from its islands, but for many greeks, the grieving has already begun. >> this summer, the eu and montenegro began talks, but brussels has learned from the difficulties it has had in the past, and it has tightened conditions. countries that want to join the euow fst o all undergo a thorough check. as far as basic rights and the judicial system are concerned, for instance. montenegro is the first candidate that needs europe's police authority's approval, and that will not be easy for the small, balkan state. >> the port city, a special police unit has arrested two colonels. the chief investigator learns that the prisoners turn violent and resisting arrest. >> excuse me. you got a problem? >> you've got the problem. >> i don't have any problem. be quiet. >> you'll regret that you a rest of us. >> we got lucky. we have been looking for these two for some time. they are known members of a criminal gang. we only talk them because they were in a traffic accident -- we only caught them. >> they are taken to the police station for int

right let's not talk to greek political analysts or crystals to try this is joining us live now good to see them in a drought as chancellor merkel said greeks have done much to end the walk far along the path of recovery but considering more cuts are looming the people can't be all that reassured can they. of course they're going to do now surely you know i think of the main problem. of most americans believed in greece is that it was not only symbolic nothing concrete came out from his visit and i think the other people especially at this story they hear something concrete the leaders from the that they didn't need just some more to restaurants from the missionary comes for missionary killed but something more concrete or something more released like the egg and there was are these to the game are basically shipped but and then america came to athens in a show of us solidarity i mean that word was spoken a lot today but can the people of greece expect any concessions from her i don't think so i think the american game here today mainly. just a little a symbolic visit to say that ok

of course, the greek people aren't very happy about it. the latest i hear from my colleague in athens is that the minority party in the government---the left wing party---is trying to hold up the package because they think its too tough. i'm sure that that's finding some sympathy among the public. so we still don't have a deal yet. they're moving slowly towards one it seems. what exactly will this mean for the average citizen in greece? these austerity measures? life in greece is already very, very tough. i was just in athens a couple of weeks ago and the standard of living has really dropped very noticeably for most people. so, in a way, things can't get much worse. what's positive is that they will have some kind of deal and they'll get some more international aid. there's also talk that there will be some more debt relief which would be very positive for the greek people. what really needs to happen now is for the economy to start to come back but there's not really much sign of that. as you know, the bailout money is going to be used t

the european commission in brussels key to maintaining that there is no agreement yet with the greek government. similar messages kept coming from berlin as well, until the german finance minister got fed up and said people should stop speculating about what a potential agreement could bring because there is no such agreement yet, but it is no surprise that there is speculation because the negotiations between the greek government and its international creditors are entering a very crucial phase, and people are pwondering -- will the creditors give greece more time? lately in the past couple of days and weeks, the number of positive comments on greek progress has been rising. lots of people are now saying the greeks are actually implementing the reforms that have been missing for such a long time, and that was the missing building block, so it is looking very likely that greece could get more time, but under which conditions, that will only be revealed after the troika report has been published. >> german business confidence fell for a sixth straight month in october, hitting its low
