:01:34. > :01:39.Hello and welcome. The G20 summit in Cannes had been hoping to lay
:01:39. > :01:44.down plans to stimulate global economic growth. Instead the crisis
:01:44. > :01:48.in Greece has dominated the agenda. Let's go live to Athens.
:01:48. > :01:52.Good evening and welcome to Athens. In three hours' time, George
:01:52. > :01:56.Papandreou, the Greek Prime Minister, will know his fate. He
:01:56. > :02:00.has been under growing calls to resign following his unilateral

:02:05. > :02:08.painstakingly agreed at a Brussels summit last week. In Athens the

:02:24. > :02:30.European Union to prevent Greece from defaulting on its debt, to
:02:30. > :02:35.prevent Greece from falling out of the eurozone. Let's get this report
:02:35. > :02:38.from our correspondent, Matthew Price.
:02:38. > :02:42.Greek members of Parliament have been arriving this evening for a
:02:42. > :02:47.confidence vote that is too close to call. Some rebel MPs have
:02:47. > :02:53.indicated that they may now back their leader. Even if he survives,
:02:53. > :02:57.he is weakened. The country faces continuing political uncertainty.
:02:57. > :03:01.This is the man at the eye of the storm. Greece's Prime Minister
:03:01. > :03:06.caused panic when he suggested a referendum on the latest debt bail-
:03:07. > :03:13.out package for the country. Many here feared that no vote might mean

:03:18. > :03:24.situation be after leaving Europe? They think it would be much worse.
:03:24. > :03:31.If you leave the euro? If we leave the euro. I think that we will be
:03:31. > :03:37.totally alone. Without the help of Europe, things would be very
:03:37. > :03:42.difficult for Greece. Already Europe is losing confidence in
:03:42. > :03:46.Greece's ability to deal with its debt problem. This is very much the
:03:46. > :03:50.epicentre of the global financial uncertainty at the moment. Until
:03:50. > :03:54.the politicians in this building can work out exactly who will run
:03:54. > :03:58.in Greece, Europe stands very little chance of being able to

:04:17. > :04:22.get so dark before a great leader comes around and makes a big change.
:04:22. > :04:26.Once again there is a demonstration tonight. Anger outside the
:04:26. > :04:33.Parliament and inside. Even from members of the Prime Minister's own
:04:33. > :04:37.party. TRANSLATION: We are being asked to vote in favour of a
:04:37. > :04:41.Government but everyone knows they have lost the trust of the people
:04:41. > :04:45.of Greece and the international community. The next few hours will
:04:45. > :04:55.determine much. The future of Greece's Prime Minister, the future
:04:55. > :04:56.
:04:56. > :05:00.of his country, and to a large extent the future of Europe.
:05:00. > :05:04.Events in Greece and the eurozone debt crisis have dominated the
:05:05. > :05:09.summit of the world's richest nations. Barack Obama has urged
:05:10. > :05:14.European leaders to sort out the problems, to take aggressive steps
:05:14. > :05:18.to fix the financial crisis. The French President Nicolas Sarkozy,
:05:18. > :05:22.closing the G20 summit, said that Europe would do everything to
:05:22. > :05:26.protect the euro. Let's get this report from our diplomatic
:05:26. > :05:32.correspondent, James Robbins. This summit did not write to the
:05:32. > :05:35.rescue of the euro and the eurozone. Leaders of the world's major
:05:35. > :05:38.economies place that responsibility on the members of the currency
:05:38. > :05:44.union itself. Several heads of Government made clear that Europe
:05:44. > :05:47.could afford to heal itself. In the midst of crisis in Greece and Italy,
:05:47. > :05:51.Barack Obama barely concealed his exasperation with European
:05:51. > :05:55.decision-making. He said he had learned a lot in the past few days
:05:55. > :05:59.about how laborious it was. He pointedly made clear his view that
:05:59. > :06:03.the eurozone, including wealthy Germany, could afford to save
:06:03. > :06:07.itself. Having heard from our European partners over the past two
:06:07. > :06:12.days, I am confident that Europe has the capacity to meet this
:06:12. > :06:19.challenge. I know it is not easy, but it is absolutely critical. It
:06:19. > :06:22.is what the world looks for in moments such as this, action.
:06:22. > :06:27.also pushed Silvio Berlusconi into accepting that the IMF should
:06:27. > :06:30.monitor his Government's debt reduction programme, to reduce the
:06:30. > :06:34.risk of financial catastrophe in one of the largest economies of the
:06:34. > :06:39.eurozone. Italy insists it volunteered, but this amounts to a
:06:39. > :06:42.public audit every quarter by the IMF. The G20 did agree that the
:06:42. > :06:47.resources of the International Monetary Fund needed strengthening
:06:47. > :06:50.to help individual countries around the world. But no figures will be
:06:50. > :06:57.agreed before February next year. President Sarkozy had hoped for so
:06:57. > :07:01.much for this meeting and he stressed the positive. We have
:07:01. > :07:06.committed ourselves to reinforcing the means of the IMF if necessary.
:07:06. > :07:10.To achieve this objective, the IMF should fulfil its role. The finance
:07:10. > :07:15.ministers during a future meeting in February have instructions to
:07:15. > :07:20.table, instructions and plans to achieve this within the IMF. China,
:07:20. > :07:25.with its huge earnings from the surplus of export over import, says
:07:25. > :07:28.it will allow greater flexibility for its currency. That should
:07:28. > :07:33.correct some of the imbalance in world trade that hurts weaker
:07:33. > :07:37.countries. Other proposals including a tax on financial
:07:37. > :07:45.transactions to fund aid to the world's poor met stiff opposition,
:07:45. > :07:50.or were pushed off the agenda by the subject that dominated the
:07:50. > :07:57.summit, the crisis in the eurozone. As we heard and that report, the
:07:57. > :08:01.G20 agreed to boost the resources of the IMF, to deal with the crisis
:08:01. > :08:05.now besetting the eurozone. And also to monitor more closely what
:08:06. > :08:11.Greece is up to in terms of its financial reforms. Our economics
:08:11. > :08:15.editor has been speaking to the head of the IMF, Christine Lagarde.
:08:15. > :08:18.End of the summit and time to reflect on whether the world is
:08:18. > :08:23.safer now than it was a few days ago before the drama kicked off in
:08:23. > :08:30.Greece. This summit started with France and Germany 10 increase that
:08:30. > :08:40.it could not hold the eurozone to ransom. -- 10 increase. But it felt
:08:40. > :08:46.that they were doing the same to the world economy. The answer came
:08:46. > :08:51.back this afternoon, no. Or at least not yet. I asked the managing
:08:51. > :08:55.director of the IMF if she was disappointed. For the moment I have
:08:55. > :09:01.sufficient resources to face requests. But if there was a crisis,
:09:01. > :09:06.if there was escalating demands, then the members of the IMF present
:09:06. > :09:14.in the room today said we will put what it takes to make sure that you
:09:14. > :09:18.can continue to play. Even a few hours ago, people certainly on the
:09:18. > :09:21.French side and in other countries were saying that we are going to
:09:21. > :09:25.see numbers in that communicate, and an increase. Is it not the case
:09:26. > :09:32.that the rest of the World said no, this is Europe's job and we will
:09:32. > :09:35.not cough up more money. Everybody understands that it is Europe's job.
:09:35. > :09:40.The Europeans heard it and they actually said it was their job to
:09:40. > :09:50.face a crisis. Italy has asked for her help, but there is no money
:09:50. > :09:57.attached to that either. I am coming to Italy. Because I am
:09:57. > :10:01.invited, you see. We will go quarterly. We will check that what
:10:01. > :10:05.Italy has promised, it is delivering. If it is not delivering,
:10:05. > :10:10.I will say so. The problem for Italy was its cost of borrowing was
:10:10. > :10:15.rising in the markets. It has leapt today on hearing that news, so it
:10:15. > :10:20.is not going very well so far. Let's see how things pan out. If
:10:20. > :10:25.you look at the way that markets assess risks, it is very bizarre.
:10:25. > :10:29.Two De Beers have been broken here. Europe's leaders have for many
:10:29. > :10:33.drawn a link between Italy and the IMF, and they have openly
:10:33. > :10:39.contemplated the possibility of a country leaving the euro. Now they
:10:39. > :10:45.have to hope they have not tempted fate.
:10:45. > :10:50.Let's talk to Christian favour, who has been in Cannes for us for the
:10:50. > :10:55.G20 summit throughout. -- Christian Fraser. They look ready to fight
:10:55. > :11:03.war on two friends. In Greece there are problems, but also in Italy as
:11:03. > :11:05.well. Very much so. I think the many summits that were going on
:11:05. > :11:10.last night after the dinner suggests that there are real
:11:10. > :11:20.concerns about Italy. That caused to yield prices on ten-year Italian
:11:20. > :11:23.
:11:23. > :11:26.bonds to rise much past the levels they were at in August. The ECB
:11:26. > :11:30.intervened then. Angela Merkel is probably worried that they will
:11:30. > :11:34.turn on Italy and she looked very glum tonight. One of the statement
:11:34. > :11:39.that she made this morning, she said that she had had no money
:11:39. > :11:43.promised by the G20 countries will this fire wall to protect Italy. I
:11:43. > :11:47.am hearing downstairs that there is also frustration with the Germans.
:11:47. > :11:51.Not only are the Germans tough austerity within the eurozone, they
:11:51. > :11:55.are also tough on the European Central Bank. This into Christine
:11:55. > :12:01.Lagarde, I think there is a sentiment from her that the ECB
:12:01. > :12:06.should be doing more. -- listening to Christine Lagarde. They cannot
:12:06. > :12:09.rely on European partners to prop up the eurozone. Germany might have
:12:09. > :12:17.to do more and relax its view of what the ECB does at the end of the
:12:17. > :12:21.day. This is an example of economics meeting politics. This is
:12:21. > :12:26.where the economics needs German history. The Germans are very, very
:12:27. > :12:32.reluctant about the idea of the ECB printing money. Absolutely. They
:12:32. > :12:38.are terrified of hyperinflation. Just a quick history recap. In the
:12:38. > :12:43.1920s, people needed wheelbarrow loads to buy a loaf of bread. The
:12:43. > :12:48.highest priced stamp in 1920 was four marks and by 1923 it was 50
:12:48. > :12:51.billion. That might be a long time ago but it is in the DNA of German
:12:51. > :12:57.people and they remember it and they don't like the idea of funny
:12:57. > :13:01.money, putting it simply. The Brits and those outside the eurozone are
:13:01. > :13:05.saying that is all well and good, but you did not have to sign up to
:13:06. > :13:10.the eurozone. It was your idea, and putting it bluntly it is up to you
:13:10. > :13:14.guys to fix it. I think that is the message that has been delivered in
:13:14. > :13:18.no uncertain terms this week. you very much.
:13:18. > :13:24.In Athens, that vote is taking place in a little under three hours
:13:24. > :13:28.time. That might start to map out some of the political future for
:13:29. > :13:32.Greece. Whether there will be any more political uncertainty about
:13:32. > :13:37.the decisions being taken and implemented in this country. In a
:13:37. > :13:40.sense, that has been a problem. There is political paralysis. What
:13:40. > :13:44.George Papandreou and the Greek people need tonight is a sense that
:13:44. > :13:49.a direction has been set and that it will be followed. That has been
:13:49. > :13:51.sadly lacking in recent weeks and months. From Athens, back to the
:13:51. > :13:56.studio. Thank you.
:13:56. > :13:59.A colleague Jon Sopel and of course we are waiting for that vote of
:13:59. > :14:03.confidence in the great Parliament and if there is any news, we will

:22:13. > :22:16.250 days. It is a minimum of 35 million miles, but astronauts say
:22:17. > :22:21.it is within reach. If we make a real big effort starting today, I
:22:21. > :22:26.think we can do it in 15 years. More realistically, I think it is
:22:26. > :22:29.it more in the order of 25 years. For decades, Mars has been a
:22:29. > :22:37.distant dream for those interested in human space flight. Today it
:22:37. > :22:43.came a little bit closer. Let's discuss this a bit more.
:22:43. > :22:48.Joining us from Leicester is Anu Ojha, a director of the UK National
:22:48. > :22:53.Space Centre. It seems a bit of a strange thing to have done, doesn't
:22:53. > :22:59.it? Would you have volunteered for it, by the way? Interesting. When
:22:59. > :23:04.they put it forward, I did consider it. We need to remember, these guys
:23:04. > :23:08.have gone deep into the human Psyche. As well as the engineering

:23:19. > :23:24.experiment, they will transform our understanding of human psychology

:23:34. > :23:35.
:23:35. > :23:38.help us understand better, first of all? Earth is the one planet in the
:23:38. > :23:44.solar system that we know is teeming with life. The Mall world's
:23:44. > :23:49.we know to compare hours to, the more we will understand it. Mars is
:23:49. > :23:54.a schizophrenic planet. It has an atmosphere but it is incredibly
:23:54. > :23:58.thin. We have all these clues that billions of years ago, it was a
:23:58. > :24:02.warmer, wetter world with oceans and rivers. What we know about

:24:21. > :24:26.Poor demeanour about whether Mars could have supported live in the
:24:26. > :24:31.past or will in future? Spacecraft orbiting Mars have detected gases
:24:31. > :24:39.that, on Earth, are produced by biological processes. We have got
:24:39. > :24:46.more controversial Cleese. I have got a sample of the planet here. I
:24:46. > :24:50.don't know if you can see this on camera. It is just a few grains of
:24:50. > :24:56.rock and dust but this is a meteorite from Mars. It fell on
:24:56. > :25:01.Earth in 1911. There are 16 or 17 of these that we found around Earth
:25:01. > :25:06.but three in particular have got tell-tale clues that they could
:25:06. > :25:09.have been produced by biological processes. In the scientific
:25:09. > :25:12.community, if you have an extraordinary claim you need
:25:12. > :25:17.extraordinary evidence. As much as I would love this to be evidence of
:25:17. > :25:22.ancient life on Mars, the only way we will settle this issue for once
:25:22. > :25:28.and for all is to send a crew of human scientists to Mars. When do
:25:28. > :25:33.you think it might be feasible that humans will actually reach Mars?
:25:33. > :25:36.People are amazed to find out that we could have gone to Mars in the
:25:36. > :25:44.1980s if the Americans hadn't pushed through the space shuttle
:25:44. > :25:49.approached -- space shuttle plan. It was always the Russians' goal. I
:25:49. > :25:53.am unlikely to see activity on Mars in my lifetime. I would like to but
:25:53. > :26:01.it will certainly be when I am in retirement. But when that grew
:26:01. > :26:06.actually goes, they will be taking humanity's next giant leap.
:26:06. > :26:10.Anu Ojha, clearly a man with a mission and a passion. Thank you
:26:10. > :26:14.for talking to us. A reminder of the main news:
:26:14. > :26:20.Outside the Greek parliament in Athens, protesters are gathering.
:26:20. > :26:25.These are live pictures we are showing you. Inside, the Prime
:26:25. > :26:29.Minister, George Papandreou, is facing a vote of confidence. He
:26:29. > :26:33.sparked an angry response in Greece and elsewhere in the world -
:26:33. > :26:38.particularly in Europe - over a plan to hold a referendum on the
:26:38. > :26:41.latest bail-out plan for Greece, which is listed of austerity
:26:41. > :26:46.measures there. He has abandoned his referendum proposal but there
:26:46. > :26:48.have been numerous demands for his resignation. We are still waiting
:26:48. > :26:55.for the results of that vote of confidence in the Greek parliament.
:26:55. > :27:03.It is a knife-edge vote. Brummie, goodbye and enjoy your weekend. --
:27:03. > :27:08.We have had a few showers today that should ease overnight. First
:27:08. > :27:11.thing tomorrow, it should not be too bad as start. However, that is
:27:11. > :27:16.going to change in the south through the day, because we have
:27:16. > :27:20.got this weather system approaching. It will, in from the near Continent
:27:20. > :27:25.overnight tonight and arrive in the far south-east in the early hours
:27:25. > :27:33.of tomorrow. That will spill westwards along with some outbreaks
:27:33. > :27:37.of rain. At around 3pm, Yorkshire will turn cloudy and Lincolnshire
:27:37. > :27:40.will turn damp through the afternoon. Rain for East Anglia and
:27:40. > :27:45.much of south-east England. Southern Counties turning
