:02:03. > :02:06.Good evening, welcome to the BBC News at Six. The deal that was
:02:06. > :02:10.supposed to save the eurozone is in disarray tonight, just days after
:02:10. > :02:13.it was agreed. The Greek prime minister's decision to give his
:02:13. > :02:19.voters the final say in a referendum has sent the markets
:02:19. > :02:21.reeling. There are fears that if the Greeks don't accept the deal
:02:21. > :02:24.because of its tough austerity measures the whole future of the
:02:24. > :02:32.eurozone could be thrown into doubt, and that could prolong or deepen
:02:32. > :02:37.our economic problems. Here's our business editor Robert Peston. The
:02:37. > :02:41.eurozone, its economy and markets, the spinning wheel of fortune now
:02:41. > :02:49.perhaps determining whether the bets made by eurozone leaders with
:02:49. > :02:52.their rescue plan will lead to crisis, or recovery. It's here, in
:02:52. > :02:57.strike-Riven debt-burdened Greece, that the new threat to the
:02:57. > :03:00.eurozone's future has arisen with the unexpected announcement by the
:03:00. > :03:07.Greek premier that there would be a referendum on Europe's bail-out
:03:07. > :03:10.deal for his country. TRANSLATION: The referendum is a failure of the
:03:10. > :03:13.Government which is wanting to pass on its failure to the Greek people.
:03:13. > :03:18.Why are they holding a referendum after everything has already been
:03:18. > :03:21.decided? Just to be able to walk away from their own responsibility?
:03:21. > :03:26.I don't think the referendum will help. The best option would be
:03:26. > :03:31.elections. What the Greek Government's been offered is 100
:03:31. > :03:36.billion euros of additional bail- out loans. And a reduction of 50%
:03:36. > :03:41.in what it has to repay banks. But there will be painful cuts in
:03:41. > :03:46.public services, higher taxes and years of declining real wages for
:03:46. > :03:51.Greek people. Serious sacrifices. Even if all goes to plan, Greece's
:03:51. > :03:55.Government debts in 2020 will still be 120% of what the country
:03:55. > :03:59.produces and that will make it extremely difficult for the Greek
:03:59. > :04:03.economy to recover, which is one reason why the rescue package is
:04:03. > :04:07.unpopular. Given the present circumstances and with people upset
:04:07. > :04:13.and angry about austerity, you cannot really call the outcome.
:04:13. > :04:16.That is why I think it is probably a high risk decision and not
:04:16. > :04:20.advisible under circumstances. do you think will happen if the
:04:20. > :04:26.Greeks reject the rescue deal? Greece will default, and leave the
:04:26. > :04:29.euro. In many respects already defaulted in terms of the haircut,
:04:29. > :04:33.but it will definitely default and leave the euro. It will probably be
:04:33. > :04:37.followed by similar action in Portugal, Spain, Italy and even
:04:37. > :04:41.possibly France. All over Europe share prices tumbled on fears that
:04:41. > :04:47.debts won't be repaid and big losses would be incurred by banks.

:05:11. > :05:21.unaffordable levels. It's a hideous backdrop to Thursday's meeting in

:05:27. > :05:30.the recommend difor thure zone that was negotiated five days ago and
:05:30. > :05:35.supposed to be the final word on the subject already looks like a
:05:35. > :05:39.losing bet. We can talk to our Europe
:05:39. > :05:44.correspondent Matthew Price in Brussels. European leaders were
:05:44. > :05:48.kept out of the loop on this one, how serious is this now for them?
:05:48. > :05:53.think this is a nightmare for them. They thought just a few days ago
:05:53. > :05:58.they had got a deal here, an imperfect one, yes but a deal
:05:58. > :06:02.nonetheless. It could contain the debt crisis, stop is it t spreading.
:06:02. > :06:07.That deal was a three-parter. The Greek part was crucial to it. And
:06:07. > :06:10.it now looks as if that Greek part may not happen. Greece tonight is
:06:10. > :06:14.in absolute disarray. There are those talking about the Government
:06:14. > :06:18.collapsing, possibly even within hours. We know that President
:06:18. > :06:20.Sarkozy of France and Chancellor Merkel of Germany have had an
:06:20. > :06:24.emergency phone conversation today. They'll also have a special meeting
:06:24. > :06:29.tomorrow ahead of the G20. But the deal they negotiated is in tatters
:06:29. > :06:33.and that's why right now there are fundmental questions being asked
:06:33. > :06:36.about whether the euro can survive in its current form.
:06:36. > :06:46.If you want to find out more about the current problems in the
:06:46. > :06:49.eurozone you can go to our website. Here, official figures suggest the

:06:52. > :06:57.Economic output increased by 0.5%, compared with a rise of 0.1% in the
:06:57. > :07:02.previous three months. The Chancellor, George Osborne, said
:07:02. > :07:07.the figures were an important step forward. Our economics editor
:07:07. > :07:12.Stephanie Flanders has been taking a look at today's figures.
:07:12. > :07:16.Our GDP is just all the goods and services produced by everyone in
:07:16. > :07:22.the UK. When that number goes up, we have got growth. And the good
:07:22. > :07:26.news is our GDP did grow in the third quarter, by 0.5%. The bad
:07:26. > :07:34.news, is that's also how much we have grown in the past year, much
:07:34. > :07:38.less than the Government originally hoped. At this cement works in
:07:38. > :07:43.Lincolnshire they don't need reminding it's a slow recovery.
:07:43. > :07:49.are planning for the medium to long-term and sales hopefully will

:07:56. > :08:01.three years ago. They still service it every month to make sure they
:08:01. > :08:05.can turn it on again, but the MD says one of these days they might
:08:05. > :08:10.stop bothering. Today's figure is better than expected, but by any
:08:10. > :08:15.standard we are still looking at a slow recovery and places like this
:08:15. > :08:20.remind us that slow growth can also have long-term consequences, the
:08:20. > :08:23.longer that this company dealing with low demand, operating below
:08:23. > :08:27.capacity, the greater the chance they're going to have to turn off
:08:27. > :08:34.another one of these. Lose all the workers and skills they've been
:08:34. > :08:42.trying to hold on to. Depressing. Everybody's anxious, nervous about
:08:42. > :08:46.the future. No certainty. It's just where we are. Don't see any future.
:08:47. > :08:50.Visiting a construction site today the Chancellor was upbeat. I think
:08:50. > :08:53.this is a positive step forward for the British economy. It's a better
:08:53. > :08:57.figure than some were expecting this week, given what's happening
:08:57. > :09:00.in the world and the British economy has got a difficult journey
:09:01. > :09:05.to take from its debt-fuelled past, that's a journey made more
:09:05. > :09:11.difficult by the kind of problems you see today in the eurozone.
:09:11. > :09:15.we had the other side. Why doesn't he understand if we are to get the
:09:15. > :09:25.deficit down, the country needs a plan for growth and jobs and it
:09:25. > :09:26.
:09:26. > :09:28.needs it now. How much longer will we have to put up with this before
:09:28. > :09:31.its too late and the Chancellor finally acts?
:09:31. > :09:33.At the Bank of England Adam Posen has been calling for more action to
:09:33. > :09:36.support the economy since last year. He thinks the long-term prospects
:09:36. > :09:41.are good but we shouldn't kid ourselves slow tkwroet is all down
:09:41. > :09:47.to the eurozone. My view is that's been what exaggerated. There's
:09:47. > :09:51.clearly the prospect of bad things in the euro area and its confidence,
:09:51. > :09:54.but fundamentally borrowing disaster, we are the Masters of our
:09:54. > :10:00.own destiny. Slow growth is better than no growth. Everyone can agree
:10:00. > :10:04.on that. The question is whether we can do any better.
:10:04. > :10:08.Our deputy political editor James Landale is in Downing Street. Mixed
:10:08. > :10:11.views about these figures, but where do you think it leaves the
:10:11. > :10:14.Government's plans for the economy? I don't think these figures change
:10:14. > :10:19.the basic terms of the political debate. The Government says it can
:10:19. > :10:23.still stick to its plans. Labour says no, plan B and extra spending
:10:23. > :10:26.is needed fast. They do put extra pressure on the Chancellor ahead of
:10:26. > :10:31.his statement on the economy at the end of this month. Pressure to do
:10:31. > :10:35.more on growth, pressure also over his target of abolishing the
:10:35. > :10:39.deficit by the next general election. But this debate has been
:10:39. > :10:43.overshadowed by events in Greece. Let the - the Government says the
:10:43. > :10:46.slowdown there and the east of the eurozone is clearly affecting us
:10:46. > :10:51.here. Labour say no, it's down to domestic demand and the economy.
:10:51. > :10:58.Regardless of who is right all eyes here tonight are on Athens and what
:10:58. > :11:01.happens next. Thank you.
:11:01. > :11:04.They were star players in Pakistan's Test side, today the
:11:04. > :11:07.former captain Salman Butt and fast bowler Mohammed Asif were found
:11:07. > :11:09.guilty of cheating at last year's Lord's match. They were involved in
:11:09. > :11:12.spot fixing, deliberately bowling no-balls at pre-arranged times as
:11:12. > :11:20.part of a betting scam. A third player, Mohammed Amir, had already
:11:20. > :11:26.pleaded guilty. Here's our sports correspondent James Pearce.
:11:26. > :11:29.No comment from Salman Butt as he left court. What do you have to say
:11:29. > :11:34.to the people... A few minutes later his former teammate followed.
:11:34. > :11:39.Both men had been found guilty of accepting money in return for
:11:39. > :11:43.playing badly on purpose. Through their actions they brought shame on
:11:43. > :11:50.the cricketing world. Jeopardising the faith and admiration of fans
:11:50. > :11:54.the world over. This prosecution shows that match-fixing is not just
:11:54. > :11:58.unsportsmanlike but is a serious criminal act. The players were
:11:58. > :12:04.brought down by their agent, Mazhar Majeed, who was lured by an
:12:04. > :12:08.undercover reporter into revealing the murky world of fixing. I am
:12:08. > :12:13.telling you big money can be made. The reporter who claimed to be a
:12:13. > :12:17.wealthy businessman initially handed over �10,000. Then on the
:12:17. > :12:27.eve of last year's Lord's Test match, another meeting took place
:12:27. > :12:33.in a hotel room. The third over. The agent explained
:12:33. > :12:39.exactly when three no-balls would be bowled. The last ball. 6th ball
:12:39. > :12:43.of the 10th over. Another �140,000 was handed over. Days later some of
:12:43. > :12:50.that money would be found in the hotel rooms of Salman Butt and
:12:50. > :12:56.Mohammad Amir. So to the Test, the first ball of the third over, the
:12:56. > :13:04.first nno-ball was due. The bowler was Mohammad Amir, no-ball could
:13:04. > :13:11.hardly have been clearer. Seven overs later, the second.
:13:11. > :13:15.This time Mohammad Asif. And then the following day the third.
:13:15. > :13:22.ball is called. One expert told the trial this was the biggest no-ball
:13:22. > :13:26.he had ever seen. The impact of the trial will spread far beyond this
:13:26. > :13:29.court building, serious questions will have to be asked about the
:13:29. > :13:33.effectiveness of the International Cricket Council's anti-corruption
:13:33. > :13:36.unit. It was only because of the journalism of the News of the World
:13:36. > :13:39.this plot was uncovered. For the good of the game and the future of
:13:39. > :13:44.the game I was happy it was exposed in this fashion because I just hope
:13:44. > :13:47.it sends a message to the world game and players even contemplating
:13:47. > :13:51.getting involved in these activities that you are not going
:13:51. > :13:55.to get away with it. The success of tournaments like the Indian Premier
:13:55. > :14:00.League has raised the stakes in terms of the amount of money bet on
:14:00. > :14:06.cricket. The gambling industry in the sport is estimated to be worth
:14:06. > :14:11.a staggering $50 billion a year. Salman Butt, Mohammad Amir, and
:14:11. > :14:17.Mohammad Asif were seduced by he will legal riches on offer.
:14:17. > :14:20.Tomorrow they'll be given their The authorities at St Paul's
:14:20. > :14:23.Cathedral have changed their mind and backed away from legal action
:14:23. > :14:25.against protesters who have put up tents in its grounds. A spokesman
:14:25. > :14:28.said St Paul's would engage constructively with the protesters
:14:28. > :14:31.rather than threatening forcible eviction. Our religious affairs
:14:31. > :14:40.correspondent Robert Piggott is at St Pauls. Robert, what's brought
:14:40. > :14:44.about this change of heart? Of well, George, the protesters today were
:14:44. > :14:48.expecting a legal risk but were given an olive branch, a dramatic
:14:48. > :14:52.attempt to seize back the initiative, I think. It is taking a
:14:52. > :14:58.risk. It was desperate to end the stalemate which was destroying its
:14:58. > :15:03.reputation. Life is a rocky path, said St
:15:03. > :15:07.Paul's today. We all make mistakes, but we try to correct them, so
:15:07. > :15:12.instead of legal action against each camp outside, the cathedral is
:15:12. > :15:17.inviting them in the side. They will be part of a new initiative
:15:17. > :15:21.aiming to put ethics back into finance. A senior clerics said the
:15:21. > :15:27.Dean's resignation yesterday had given St Paul's the chance to think
:15:27. > :15:32.again. I think life is a matter of going forward in Faith, and
:15:32. > :15:37.sometimes we make mistakes and then have the humility to say that. And
:15:37. > :15:43.we set out on another path, and I don't think any member would be
:15:43. > :15:48.ashamed of saying that today. Paul's suspender legal action
:15:48. > :15:52.against protest camp. Will they disperse without the threat of
:15:53. > :15:57.eviction? St Pauls says it has faith in human nature but so far
:15:58. > :16:01.there is little nude for leading the protest. Until we can see
:16:01. > :16:08.fundamental change been brought to the table, and proper dialogue on
:16:08. > :16:11.that change, I'll occupation is vitally important. The the Church
:16:11. > :16:16.has understood its theological position should be in the interest
:16:16. > :16:20.of society and not economics and finance. So what explains this
:16:20. > :16:25.dramatic change of heart? Some commentators say the damage done to
:16:25. > :16:29.the wider Church was becoming intolerable. I think significant
:16:29. > :16:32.damage has been done to the Church's reputation this time. This
:16:32. > :16:36.is the cathedral, which is independent, but they don't think
:16:36. > :16:40.the public necessarily see it that way of her. They see it as the
:16:40. > :16:44.church and want a senior figure from the Church to take the lead.
:16:44. > :16:47.Protesters met officials today in the first tentative steps towards
:16:47. > :16:53.negotiation. St Paul's said this evening, we can do business with
:16:53. > :16:58.these people. And that business is a special
:16:58. > :17:03.initiative designed to reconnect with the world of finance with the
:17:03. > :17:07.cathedral. It said the bells were ringing all over the world,
:17:07. > :17:12.bringing out an alarm for morality in the market place and has decided
:17:12. > :17:15.to act on them. Robert, thank you. Our top story tonight:

:19:13. > :19:18.in prison for life. The and so, as they grow up, the government aims
:19:18. > :19:23.to pull them back from the gang culture. It's time for a long-term
