:00:18. > :00:22.lifeline but with numerous strings attached. Five years in recession,
:00:22. > :00:28.life for the Greeks will get even tougher. I am relieved that we are
:00:28. > :00:33.still in the Eurozone but I think life will get much worse.

:01:19. > :01:22.she is not what she seems. It was the longest of nights, the
:01:22. > :01:27.finance ministers in Brussels all getting a personal sense of the
:01:27. > :01:34.Greek word marriage on. In the end, the Greek Prime Minister liked it,
:01:34. > :01:38.as did the EU president, Jose Manuel grosso. Even so, the second
:01:38. > :01:43.bail-out has been agreed, with numerous strings attached, but
:01:43. > :01:48.cannot be implemented? -- was a Manuel Barroso. Greeks will see yet
:01:48. > :01:53.more spending interned -- in return from the -- in return for the bail-
:01:53. > :01:57.out. In a moment, we will see what former Prime Minister George
:01:57. > :02:01.Papandreou mix of that. Four two years, Greece has been the
:02:01. > :02:05.epicentre of the Eurozone crisis. Now after months of bitter argument,
:02:05. > :02:08.the country has been granted the biggest bail-out in history. The
:02:08. > :02:16.threat of bankruptcy has been lifted and Europe have breathed a
:02:16. > :02:20.sigh of relief. Greece has made its choice. We now have to focus on the
:02:20. > :02:25.next step, constructing a far wall that is large enough to prevent
:02:25. > :02:30.contagion within the Eurozone. 12 hours, ministers and officials
:02:30. > :02:34.argued over how to reduce Greece's debt mountain and how to prevent
:02:34. > :02:41.the country defaulting and threatening the European economy.
:02:41. > :02:46.But risks remain. There are downsize risks. It is not an easy
:02:46. > :02:51.programme, it is very ambitious. The bail-out is aimed at reducing
:02:51. > :02:56.Greek debt. Private investors have agreed to take big losses, 107
:02:56. > :03:04.billion euros. Greece will get a loan of 130 billion euros, and the
:03:04. > :03:09.hope is that by 2020, the debt will be down to 120% of GDP.
:03:09. > :03:14.The deal is intended to draw a line under months of violent protest. It
:03:14. > :03:20.period when a Greek Prime Minister was forced to stand down and an --
:03:20. > :03:25.a period of increased hostility against Germany foreign --
:03:25. > :03:28.insisting on more austerity. On the streets of Athens today, further
:03:28. > :03:32.protest. There is particular anger that under the deal, the country
:03:32. > :03:37.will have to accept permanent monitors to ensure that it lives up
:03:37. > :03:42.to its promises. The mood, as in recent demonstrations, was fearful
:03:42. > :03:46.and resentful. I am relieved that we are still in the Eurozone but I
:03:46. > :03:51.think life will get much worse year. TRANSLATION: The people will be
:03:51. > :03:54.even worse after last year. The measures will deepen the recession.
:03:54. > :04:00.Families know that more austerity is coming in exchange for the new
:04:00. > :04:06.bail-out. This man is a bus driver and his wages have already been cut
:04:06. > :04:14.by 400 euros a month. Now, he is threatened with losing his job.
:04:14. > :04:19.am afraid that I will not have enough money to buy the basics for
:04:19. > :04:22.my children and for the family. gamble with this new bail-out is
:04:22. > :04:27.that Greece is being asked to embrace further cuts whilst its
:04:27. > :04:32.economy is in freefall. It does not solve the great problem because the
:04:32. > :04:36.burden on the Greek is very high and intense. I am afraid that we
:04:36. > :04:41.will meet again in six months' time to discuss the great situation
:04:41. > :04:46.again. What a massive bail-out has done is to buy the Eurozone time to
:04:46. > :04:51.strengthen its banks and to shore up the defences around of a weaker
:04:51. > :04:58.European countries. For the moment, Greece has avoided bankruptcy but
:04:58. > :05:01.it faces years of hardship. As we saw in that report, the
:05:01. > :05:06.former Greek Prime Minister, George Papandreou resigned in November,
:05:06. > :05:10.stepping aside for a government of national unity. What is his verdict
:05:10. > :05:17.on events in Brussels? Zeinab Badawi has been speaking to him in
:05:17. > :05:24.Athens. It is the only interview he has done. I have heard many experts
:05:24. > :05:30.over the last few years talking about the possible outcomes and the
:05:30. > :05:36.Domesday -- doomsayers. We will not enter the Euro one we will not a
:05:36. > :05:41.fault. -- Exeter the Euro and we will not default. Of course, it
:05:41. > :05:49.means we need to do hard work. But we will demand, and I use that
:05:49. > :05:55.respectively, more respect. We have made major sacrifices. More respect
:05:55. > :05:58.from you -- from who? International analysts. Do you think this has
:05:58. > :06:03.engendered humiliation? I think there is pressure on Greece and
:06:03. > :06:08.much speculation about what will happen with Greece, if Greece will
:06:08. > :06:12.default and leave the Euro. This has been a pain in Greece, it has
:06:12. > :06:16.contributed to the recession. People will not invest, people are
:06:16. > :06:21.feeling that if they take their money out of the banks, they will
:06:21. > :06:26.not consume, and this deal gives us breathing space to make these major
:06:26. > :06:31.changes. On the question of sovereignty, and the German bashing
:06:31. > :06:34.that we have seen here, with effigies of the Chancellor Merkel,
:06:34. > :06:38.and the German flag being burnt, do you have sympathies with that kind
:06:38. > :06:43.of you when you see the protesters? They say they are being controlled
:06:43. > :06:51.by the European Union, specifically the paymaster of the EU, Berlin.
:06:51. > :06:54.think we need more democracy and our European institutions. -- in
:06:54. > :06:57.our European institutions. Particularly in Greece, with this
:06:57. > :07:00.kind of programme, people think that there is ownership and the
:07:00. > :07:08.programme, they need to feel ownership about what Europe is
:07:08. > :07:11.doing. The moment, citizens in Europe feel this empowered. They
:07:11. > :07:15.look to Brussels and stronger countries and they say, who is
:07:15. > :07:21.making the decisions? I think this is a question for Europe. You can
:07:21. > :07:25.see it from the Germans point of view, they say, why should we work
:07:25. > :07:29.until we are 65 so that Greek train drivers can retire at 50? In order
:07:29. > :07:32.that they have a minimum wage which when it was 700 euros, was much
:07:32. > :07:37.higher than a lot of other countries. Why should we support
:07:37. > :07:41.that kind of Greek state, do you sympathise with that you?
:07:41. > :07:44.understand that you and very often I have said that we have to
:07:44. > :07:51.understand citizens of other countries that are helping us. They
:07:51. > :07:55.want to see that we changed. But I think there is also problems in the
:07:55. > :07:59.Eurozone, of which make it quite unique. We are a family, but we
:07:59. > :08:03.have not really understood how deeply interconnected we are in
:08:03. > :08:07.Europe. That is why we need more economic Government's --
:08:07. > :08:11.governments, but we need to get away with populism, prejudice and
:08:11. > :08:19.extremism. Is that what you are seeing here? I'm seeing this around
:08:19. > :08:22.Europe, forces that are prejudicial, even racist, trying to scapegoat
:08:22. > :08:29.the real problems. George Papandreou was speaking to Zeinab
:08:29. > :08:32.Badawi. Syrian opposition activists say at least 30 people have been
:08:32. > :08:36.killed in the city of Homs as government forces continued to
:08:36. > :08:40.shell the district of Baba Amr. 20, including for my children are said
:08:41. > :08:43.to have been killed. The Red Cross is the only international aid
:08:44. > :08:51.agency operating inside Syria and is calling for a daily ceasefires
:08:51. > :08:55.to deal with the wounded. Bombardment was unleashed in the
:08:56. > :09:00.early morning and went on relentlessly. Hundreds of shells
:09:00. > :09:05.and rockets slammed into Baba Amr, which has been under siege for two
:09:05. > :09:08.weeks. Several hundred rebel fighters from the Free Syrian Army
:09:08. > :09:14.are entrenched here but many civilians are also trapped, some of
:09:14. > :09:18.them paying the price. At the improvised field hospitals, doctors
:09:18. > :09:24.were struggling to save the lives of the wounded, including this baby
:09:24. > :09:28.hit by shrapnel from an exploding rockets. Activist said that some
:09:28. > :09:33.buildings were reduced to rubble by the intensity of the shelling. One
:09:33. > :09:37.of the heaviest since the siege began. Tanks and armoured vehicles
:09:37. > :09:41.were on the move in the district immediately adjacent. It is not
:09:41. > :09:45.clear whether the bombardment was the prelude she -- prelude to the
:09:45. > :09:49.ground offensive the Government has threatened. Human rights groups say
:09:49. > :09:52.such an attack would result in a massacre. They have called on the
:09:52. > :09:57.world to intervene. The International Red Cross is trying
:09:57. > :10:06.to mediate a truce to get supplies in an civilians out. No result so
:10:06. > :10:09.far. -- and civilians out. Western and Arab count -- Western and Arab
:10:09. > :10:13.partners are planning for a meeting on Friday to step up opposition to
:10:13. > :10:21.the regime but there was still no clear way ahead. The Syrian regime
:10:21. > :10:27.is going to be under increasing pressure, which will create space
:10:27. > :10:34.for all of us to push hard on a transition. We will intensify our
:10:34. > :10:39.diplomatic out reached -- outreach to those countries still supporting
:10:39. > :10:44.the regime. But the world is not united. Russia and China continued
:10:44. > :10:47.to resist the idea of regime change and accuse the West of fuelling
:10:47. > :10:56.civil war. They advocate dialogue but there is very little of that
:10:56. > :11:03.going on. A resident of Forteviot who managed
:11:03. > :11:13.to escape from the city speaks to us now. -- Homs. What is the
:11:13. > :11:30.
:11:30. > :11:40.information you're getting from inside Homs? AUDIO PROBLEMS... We

:11:59. > :12:02.difficult to make out what you're saying.
:12:02. > :12:06.Gunmen have killed at least nine people at polling stations in Yemen
:12:06. > :12:12.where elections are taking place for the new president to replace

:13:47. > :13:52.Another extraordinary turn in the life and tribulations of Dominique
:13:52. > :13:56.Strauss-Kahn. Quite a fall from grace for a man who could have been
:13:56. > :14:00.a presidential hopeful in two once time. This was an investigation
:14:00. > :14:06.that has been rumbling on for some months. It is called the Carlton
:14:06. > :14:10.affair, named after a hotel in Lille where Mr Strauss-Kahn
:14:10. > :14:15.allegedly attended orgies. It is alleged that women were supplied at
:14:15. > :14:18.his request by high-ranking officials and businessmen. Not just
:14:18. > :14:24.in Lille but also in Paris and Washington where he was serving as
:14:24. > :14:28.the leader of the IMF. It is sent in French reports that some of
:14:28. > :14:31.these businessmen paid for the prostitutes out of corporate funds
:14:31. > :14:35.from a very big construction company. And that he knew these
:14:35. > :14:38.were prostitutes. He has denied that although he has not denied
:14:38. > :14:43.sleeping with the women. He has publicly denied that he knew they
:14:43. > :14:49.were prostitutes. His lawyer went on a French baroque -- French
:14:49. > :14:53.television station to say that "I challenge you to recognise a
:14:53. > :14:58.prostitute without a close off and a ordinary woman without her close
:14:58. > :15:02.off. " As I understand it, having sex
:15:02. > :15:06.with prostitutes in France is not illegal. What are the specific
:15:06. > :15:10.charges? There is no charge for sleeping
:15:10. > :15:14.with prostitutes, but there is a charge for supplying prostitutes,
:15:14. > :15:20.known as Pennyburn. In this case, he has put distance between himself
:15:20. > :15:23.and the hiring of the prostitutes. The allegation is that he wanted to
:15:23. > :15:29.keep a distance because he was serving of the head of the IMF and
:15:29. > :15:32.these people were doing his bidding. He denies this charge. As for the
:15:32. > :15:38.Socialist Party, I would think the reason number of people within the
:15:38. > :15:41.party who were breathing a huge sigh of relief. If this had come
:15:41. > :15:44.out earlier -- had not come out earlier and he had not been
:15:44. > :15:48.arrested in May and had managed to get the ticket for the Socialist
:15:48. > :15:52.Party to stand in the presidential elections, this could have blown up
:15:52. > :15:56.in the final two bombs of the presidential campaign. That might
:15:56. > :16:06.well have derailed the party's best chance in 20 years of winning the
:16:06. > :16:06.
:16:06. > :16:10.One year ago, an earthquake devastated New Zealand's second
:16:10. > :16:14.biggest city, chairs -- Christchurch. The centre of the
:16:14. > :16:19.city was left in ruins. Today people were marking the anniversary
:16:19. > :16:28.with events from a round the country and a two-minute silence.
:16:29. > :16:34.We can cross now to Christchurch to my colleague Lucy Hawking.
:16:34. > :16:38.Still some remote -- morning here in Christchurch. To mark that
:16:38. > :16:45.devastating moment a year ago today when a massive earthquake hit this
:16:45. > :16:49.city, devastating parts of it and killing 185 people. The service
:16:49. > :16:55.about to get under way is for families of victims. That is
:16:55. > :16:59.poignant, because where we are standing is in the Square on the
:16:59. > :17:03.edge of the central business district, an area that had been
:17:03. > :17:09.completely devastated. But this was whether to the large hospitals were
:17:09. > :17:13.set up on that day, concerts -- coincidentally to doctors'
:17:13. > :17:17.conventions what taking place in time, so the doctors came to help.
:17:17. > :17:21.The damage one year on is still shocking, there are still many
:17:21. > :17:24.buildings that need to be brought down, and they took the in to see
:17:24. > :17:28.it yesterday. New Zealanders call it the quake
:17:29. > :17:33.that changed and nation. One year on, at the centre of Christchurch
:17:33. > :17:37.is still completely off limits. Street after street destroyed and
:17:37. > :17:44.still dangerous. For the Dean of the city this is as close as he and
:17:44. > :17:48.his congregation can get to the cathedral. Most of us are getting
:17:48. > :17:53.on with our lives, and we live with this reality that we could have
:17:53. > :17:58.more quakes, and we live with the reality of a city that could get
:17:58. > :18:04.more devastated. But in the midst of it all, there is hope.
:18:04. > :18:07.This is the sight of the Canterbury Television building. The building
:18:07. > :18:10.was one of the first to be cleared, and of visual reminder may be gone,
:18:10. > :18:15.but tributes from a round the world remain.
:18:15. > :18:20.It took 160 years to build Christchurch and on the 24 seconds
:18:21. > :18:24.to rip apart the satyr of it. This used to be the middle of New
:18:24. > :18:29.Zealand's second biggest city. 50,000 people came into work here
:18:29. > :18:38.every day. Now it is home to just a few demolition workers, but
:18:38. > :18:40.crucially also construction workers - a $2 million plan is in process
:18:40. > :18:47.to rebuild this part of Christchurch.
:18:47. > :18:52.The nearby port of Lyttleton was the closest suburb to the epicentre.
:18:52. > :18:57.This mobile phone footage captures the full force of the quake. Alex
:18:57. > :19:00.Herbert showed her as the damage to his home. The house had to be
:19:00. > :19:06.pulled down. On so many different levels, the past year has been a
:19:06. > :19:12.tough one. The aftershocks always get your heart jumping, but we get
:19:12. > :19:17.used to them a little bit. The fear for us is more financial, and
:19:18. > :19:22.social, than anything else at this stage. We have lost a lot of
:19:23. > :19:27.friends, but have gone, and that time, lost a lot of businesses, the
:19:27. > :19:31.bars... This whole event has strengthened my resolve to be in
:19:31. > :19:36.this time, because it turns out that things we laugh about it goes
:19:36. > :19:40.so much deeper than the buildings, and it is the people, the geography,
:19:40. > :19:48.and this rare thing this debt -- these days which is a committee
:19:48. > :19:53.that cares about each other. You can feel the remarkable sense
:19:53. > :20:00.of community here. On a golden evening in Lyttleton, this festival
:20:00. > :20:05.is a moment to celebrate that. A stitching circle started sewing
:20:05. > :20:09.hearts as out symbol of hope. have people walking by with jackets
:20:09. > :20:13.and uniforms, so we had the opportunity to give these people
:20:13. > :20:18.one, and they have ended up all over the world. So it was a chance
:20:18. > :20:23.to say thank you to those people. The attitude in Christchurch is one
:20:23. > :20:28.of stoicism and the -- resilience. But with years of rebuilding and
:20:28. > :20:33.uncertainty ahead, people here have little choice.
:20:33. > :20:39.It is that stoicism and resilience that is so apparent as you talk to
:20:39. > :20:45.people here in Christchurch. So as you can see, this memorial service
:20:45. > :20:49.about to get under way. The Army band playing, it will be a sad day
:20:49. > :20:53.for the people of New Zealand, not just for the people in this city.
:20:53. > :20:57.If we are not sure how many people will show up, many people have said
:20:57. > :21:04.they want to mark this day with their family, quietly and on their
:21:04. > :21:06.own. Nearly 40 children have frozen to
:21:07. > :21:09.death in Afghanistan, according to Afghan officials, as the country
:21:09. > :21:12.experiences one of its harshest winters in decades. About 40,000
:21:12. > :21:16.people are living in makeshift camps, with only basic shelter and
:21:16. > :21:19.little food or clothes. Many have arrived in recent weeks to escape
:21:19. > :21:22.fighting and insecurity. As Andrew North reports from Kabul,
:21:22. > :21:32.it's also raising new questions about the capacity of the Afghan
:21:32. > :21:33.
:21:33. > :21:40.government. It could be a scene from the last
:21:40. > :21:50.century, but this is Afghanistan at 2012. They fled to Kabul for safety

:22:09. > :22:16.took my daughter to the doctor's, but the medicine did not help and
:22:16. > :22:21.we cannot afford to go again. Across Kabul, it is the same story
