2011 will be remembered for its mass protests in Greece where angry crowds clashed with police and trashed the streets of Athens in response to the government's austerity measures. The leaders there remain have been under immense pressure from the EU to make saving cuts in order to qualify for desperately-needed bailout money. RT's correspondent Sara Firth has been covering the protests in Greece during the past year. RT on Facebook: www.facebook.com RT on Twitter: twitter.com

The Greek government has narrowly won a key vote of confidence, allowing the Prime Minister to continue his fight for more cuts. Parliament now has to decide whether to impose austerity measures worth billions of Euro, in order to secure a second EU bailout, a lifeline for the country's paralysed economy.

The Euro is dead and burried.... quite literally according to sceptics, who've held a mock funeral for the ailing single currency in Brussels. They argue that attempts to bailout Greece are too little, too late, and Athen's economic failure will leave the Eurozone dream in tatters. EU members are currently pressing the Greek authorities to tighten its purse strings once again, if it is to receive yet more bailout money to keep it afloat. The government will vote on a proposed 28-billion euro budget cut over five years, next week. RT has exclusively visited Euro's funeral, headed by British MEP Nigel Farage.

An international team of debt inspectors has decided it will return to Greece next week to check on the country's progress in reaching its budget goals. Athens hopes this will help win the release of the latest emergency loans. Greek authorities want to convince the debt inspectors they could meet strict budget targets as the country desperately needs the next 8 billion euro bail-out package. Without the money, the country could default within weeks. However no decision will be made until October. The IMF warned Europe and the United States risk falling back into recession, unless lawmakers act quickly. Also underscoring the region's difficulties was a credit rating downgrade of Italy by Standard & Poor's. Financial analyst Michael Mross believes the constant downgrades are only putting pressure on the world economy. RT on Twitter: twitter.com RT on Facebook: www.facebook.com

www.presstv.com In this edition of the show Max interviews Ed Harrison from Creditwritedowns.com. He talks about the recent Euro zone's push for tougher policing of Greece. Some euro zone countries want a European Commission task force to be given extra powers to oversee the sale of Greek state assets and the country's civil service under a far-reaching plan to tighten supervision of Athens. The radical proposal, dismissed by some officials as a form of colonialism and which may be shot down in the face of strong opposition, underscores mounting pressure for stricter policing of Athens, with some ready to see its sovereignty clipped.

And the outgoing chief Jean-Claude Trichet thought a "federation" with a central finance ministry for Europe was the only solution to the debt crisis.

Italy's biggest trade union is vowing that up to a million will march against the harsh new austerity package being debated in Rome. Italy's teetering over its massive debts. And, as one of Europe's biggest economies, its troubles threaten to destabilise the Eurozone and spur a new financial crisis. The removal of several controversial provisions, such as a temporary tax on the wealthy, sent markets into a spin, and sparked rumours of an imminent credit rating downgrade. Across the Ionian Sea, efforts to further rescue the Greek economy took a hit after Athens admitted it won't be able to meet deficit reduction deadlines. And Nicolas Dupont-Aignan, who was a member of France's ruling party until 2007, believes they're the consequences of a currency system that cannot work.

European Central Bank officials have agreed to buy Eurozone government bonds to fight the continental debt crisis. Although it's not clear yet which bonds the bank is going to buy - experts expect them to be from debt-laden countries like Italy and Spain. That's after the German government reportedly admitted that the EU rescue fund won't be able to save Italy, the Eurozone's third biggest economy, if it needs help. The G7 group of the most-industrialised nations are also vowing to support financial stability and welcomed what it called 'decisive actions taken in the US and Europe'. But financier and author Patrick Young says the EU needs to change tack immediately.

In this video we talk about the Euro crisis and Greece. Should Greece leave the Euro zone or should they leave the EU altogether? Should the Germans let them learn their lesson and potentially pay for it in the long run, or should they put out the fire now and deal with preventing these issues after the fact? Should Italy, Spain and Portugal form an EU with greece called the EU2 and make a currency called the Euro2? Should the Chinese help bail out the european markets since they rely on them heavily for trade? I think if everyone in the world were to give Periphery 1 Dollar either US, Canadian or Australian (Lol at Zimbabwe) all poverty would end, the euro crisis would end, and you would all be better in bed. Watch in PD for best wishes.

After a seven-hour cabinet meeting, rumours emerged that voters were going to be asked whether they wanted to remain in the euro rather than on the £110billion bailout package agreed by eurozone leaders last week. Greek prime minister George Papandreou fuelled speculation himself. 'The referendum will be a clear mandate and a clear message inside and outside Greece on our European course and participation in the euro,' the leader reportedly told his ministers. A government spokesman had to later clarify it would be a vote on accepting bailout cash in exchange for further austerity measures. There also appeared to be uncertainty about when a referendum would be held. Officials had suggested it would probably take place in mid-January but the interior minister said it could be mid-December, which is when some analysts believe Greece will run out of cash. The vote would be staged 'as soon as possible, right after the basics of the bailout deal are formulated,' government spokesman Ilias Mosialos declared. Conservative opposition leader Antonis Samaras said Mr Papandreou had 'put the country in the centre of a global storm'. Yannis Zabetakis, a professor at the University of Athens, told the BBC: 'The prime minister and his cabinet are asking people to make a decision on a highly unpopular policy that will affect this country for the next 10 to 20 years.'

The Euro is about to crash. I mean think about it. The euro countries are in record debts and do not have the resources or abilities to pay it back. Look at the world stage. You have america continuing to stay competitive and provide a much better environment for small businesses. Then you have india and china increasing in size year on year. All three of these economies are much better suited to compete on the world stage. Europe is highly uncompetitive because of their stifling bureacracy and high cost of employment. The latest round of talks are just another example of last ditch desperate attempts to solve a crisis that has no plan b. Starting the euro was an attempt to increase trade, boost tourism and increase stability. Ditching the euro is unthinkable for france and germany but is just around the corner. Having a shared currency between countries that do not share the same economic cycles and in some cases dont even like each other was always optimistic. Now we are about to witness the end of this experiment. Greece will eventually default on their debts. This will scare the markets and push up the cost of borrowing. It will also ensure that the bigger economies of UK, Germany and France will not bale out other countries (germany and france have so far lent a total of over 100billion to greece). This will eventually lead to ireland, portugal and possibly spain defaulting. This will more or less break europe and place it in to a permanent recession that will take <b>...</b>

As concern grows that the Eurozone is falling deeper into recession, finance chiefs are hammering out plans to safeguard the region's banks. EU Commission President, Jose Manuel Barroso, said there were plans to recapitalise them. There's doubt that the next bailout installment for Greece will actually go ahead, and fallout from the country's resulting default would deal a severe blow to Europe's banking sector. In Greece itself the latest 24-hour nationwide strike turned violent, as police fired tear gas on angry crowds of anti-austerity protesters. The government is imposing more cuts on its people, trying to cap a massive debt of some 350-billion Euros.

10 Feb 2010 Prof Joseph Stiglitz -- (He is advising the Greek government) "The issue isn't a bailout -- Greece isn't Citibank, it is a country. There is solidarity. A debt / GDP ratio of 130% together with real interest rates at 1% or 2%... that's a small fraction of GDP." Hugh Hendry -- "Hello? Can I tell you about the real world? Greece is paying 7% on 2-year money. In real terms we are talking about 9%. You refer to the rate for the non-cheating countries. You organize your country in a sensible manner and show fiscal restraint.....but Greece never used the good time to save money. It finds itself compromised because it spent all the money in the prosperity."
