EU leaders meet on youth jobs but solutions elusive
By Leigh Thomas and Elizabeth Pineau PARIS (Reuters) - Soaring youth unemployment will top the agenda when France hosts a European jobs summit on Tuesday, but leaders will eschew radical proposals to tackle a problem that risks fuelling social unrest and political extremism. Nearly six million people under the age of 25 are without work in the European Union, with jobless rates among the young at close to 60 percent in Spain and Greece. A July jobs summit in Berlin set out plans to devote at least 6 billion euros over the next two years to addressing the problem - a big headline figure that looks less impressive when spread among the many unemployment blackspots in the region. French President Francois Hollande hosts a follow-up gathering of more than 20 EU leaders on Tuesday.

ERT Closing Symbol of Greek Dysfunction
On Nov. 4, Panagiotis Kalfagiannis, the leader of Greek media workers' union Pospert, told me and a dozen colleagues that the government was 'using all its state apparatus' against the journalists occupying the headquarters of public broadcaster ERT.
Less than 72 hours later the building had been raided by riot police, Kalfagiannis was in custody and the screens went blank for the first time in the five months since the station was shut down by ministers.
We ? a group of journalists who work for trade unions from as far afield as Ghana, the USA and Lithuania ? were in Athens on a week-long project and were the last people to interview ERT staff from inside the vast broadcasting center before their eviction.

EU leaders in Paris to tackle youth employment crisis
Europe's leaders gather in Paris Tuesday to discuss ways of tackling youth unemployment, in the latest of a flurry of meetings and measures since German leader Angela Merkel said the issue was the most pressing facing the continent. The conference hosted by French President Francois Hollande follows a July summit initiated by the German chancellor in Berlin and is to be attended by heads of state or government from 24 of the EU's 28 member states. According to the European Commission's latest statistics, the EU-wide youth joblessness rate stands at 23.5 percent. The youth unemployment rate is pinned down at 7.7 percent in Europe's healthiest economy Germany, but soaring past 50 percent in debt-crippled southern countries such as Greece or Spain.
