4:20 pm
the big deal here, here is what i mean. realistically, greece is just starting to climb out of this hole, right. doesn't the country zillion have a jump credit rating it received what an i.m.f., an ecb. an e, bail out. it has a long way to go here, correct? the good news is that private risk funding is chasing yields. the other one is it only going to be paying 5%? also, when the head of the bank says he will do whatever it takes people should be given a chance to go after the yield. will i put my money there? no. two relevant thing here is if greece were to move forward.
4:21 pm
then it is risk friendly, which is not the end of the world. >> what is the likelihood, even as we are seeing a bit of good news here with these investors diving in. that greece can still default? >> greece used to have a primary deficit, which means they used to have a banner deficit they could not fund operations. at that stage, it was their interest to go to the bargaining table, and say please give us a lot of money, now they are a surplus, which means they are not depend on it, and at any time they say we with don't want to pay it any more, and if they don't, life will continue. so they are in a bargaining position. so things are great, the
4:22 pm
whole zone is designed to push down the road so that banks one day will be able to stomach the loss that is at some point will come. >> why does greece and it's economic problems and with it is having a good day, and whether these are snapping up these bonds why does that matter to the larger global economy? and to investors here? i would argue it doesn't matter any more. and the turning point was cypress. and the relevant again, it is private capitol. that means for their losses it is no longer this conteh june. it is no longer the large banks that everybody is depend on.
4:23 pm
that's a key reason why it is as secure as it is, because disno longer a crisis for the rest of the world. >> finally, is unemployment easing there? is it spill around 25%? >> who knows what these numbers are, because they don't have the skill ises to measure them. but they are positive signs and is they are able to continue pushing with reform, so they are taking the tough medicine, and is the reason is because that's imposed by the market. that was terrific. candid, and honest. with america incomerments. thank you, the head of the international monetary fund, says the fall out from the crisis in ukraine could impact the entire global economy. christene la gar tells our ali velshi, that russia's economy is being battered by negative reaction to it's actions and that the ripple

4:26 pm
contracts requires them to repair the construction. >> every scientific study, including the industry's own has concluded that the industry caused a significant amount of damage. there is this idea that they are above the law. >> that would stop such lawsuits. the statement, the louisiana gas association said the green army is just one more group seeking to extort money from the oil and gas industry. >> but ornery says little industry profits ever line the pockets of resident, louisiana is the fourth largest energy producer in the u.s. residents are the second poor nest the united states. thus, democracy does not work here. this place is controlled

4:30 pm
the u.s. government may have spent more nan a billion dollars for a drug that is marginally better than tylenol. a new report found team flew is not as effective as fighting bird flu or swine flu as once thought. the study -- paul has more. >> in asia,ivian influenza was spreading. experts warned that billions of people were at risk. epledged as the leading medicine, by this new report claims that drugs benefits were exaggerated.
4:31 pm
also tells us there's no effectsen othe flu. >> it led to this, warehouses full of drugs stock piled for emergency, the british government spent $793 million on it, the u.s. government is staggering $1.3 billion on the drug. flu systems can would have lasted seven days were reduced to 6.3 for adults and 5.8 days in children. gains so marginal that the report say over-the-counter drugs could have had the same effect. do get access so the raw research data, and the findings not only question the drug but also criticize the system. the way drugs regulators are only ever president with selective data by the industry. >> they perform the study, they provide the regulator with what they ask for, but they do not
4:32 pm
go out of their way to prevent the benefit in a reasonable fashion. tamaflu is manufactured by rosch. >> we shared all of those things with the regulations and they reflected accordingly in the label. so i think we feel we with have been as transparent as we have been at the time. the world health organization still has an essential medicine. >> and was respond to the cvc release adequater of the anti-??? measures including fampa flu. more than 55 million people have received a
4:33 pm
vaccination, and joining me now is one of the authors of that report, about theth cassie, peter -- good to talk to you. so tamaflu is still saying in the after math of the release of this, that it is effective? so i asked you, is it? the question is it effective to reduce the outcomes that one cares about from a public health perspective. that's the question here. and that's like does it reduce death, and hospitalization. >> what's the answer. >> does it cut the spread of the virus. >> we found no credible evidence that it does those things. >> did your research find that tamaflu is potentially harmful? and does that potential harm outweigh the benefits of using the
4:34 pm
drug? a lot of the discussion talks about how effective it is, and so we did a systematic review of all the trials randomized trials out there, and to answer that, about benefits, and harms. on the harm side it is not a risk free drug. like nausea and vomiting. and then we did find significant increases when the drug is used for a much longer period of time. thicks like psychiatric disturbances and headaches. so if this drug isn't effective, how should we approach treating the flu in the future? there will be other outbreaks? well, it's no that it has
4:35 pm
no effects, there is a duration from seven days to six, so there is a small effect, but when you have a drug that the benefits are so small, especially and the risks are present and real, i think we need to reassess that and ski whether this is the thing we want to spend money on and prescribing at a mass level. >> so are we almost better off letting it run its course? are there are many effective treatments. that public health officials could be stock piled. >> yeah with, there are other thins that we could be doing. we could be spending money upfront on the research side of this. before spending money on purchasing and renders research, so we could be looking into better therapeutics. better vaccines that we can make faster.
4:36 pm
we have barrier interventions like staying home, using masks, there's a lot of things at that level as well. when it comes to complications the fast capture of those people, capture in the sense of you want to treat them early. because these bacterial are treatable. >> a last question for you, when do these drug makers come up with these claims one here is that by using the results show that there were fewer hospitalizations. how does it test those claims? where did that claim come from? >> well, i think people will be surprised to know that most medical science, you couldn't test those claims. so it started in 2009, we tried to test that claim by accessing the raw
4:37 pm
data. and they did not give us the raw data, but that went on for 3 1/2 years and it was only last year when they did give us these very big reports. our conclusions were very consistent with the fd action, in the set up, also gave those reports to. the fda says on the label, it has not been shown to prevent such complications. that's on the label. yet, we have gone along with stock piling under the assumption it can do this. this is hard to understand. >> all right, thank you for your time. one of the authors of that report on theth cassie. joining us from baltimore. the united nations is sending about 12,000 troops to central african republic to help maintain
4:38 pm

4:44 pm
has yet to be determined. we still have to get this analysis done. and we still have is to identify what the cause is is. >> the cause doesn't matter much to billy nelson and others peopling the irrigation water flowing and the p cos growing does. >> i have heard all kinds of rumors. it could be six months or longer. >> now the county which operating that dam is now saying they believe the cause of that crack is water pressure over time. just the pressure of the water in the river backing up behind that dam. that, of course, has some serious implications for the 12 other concrete dams along the columbia live system, and frankly for concrete dams all over the country, and around the world. it's just the simple passage of time and water pressure can do that kind of damage. a lot of questions to be answered still. >> can you imagine, all right. allen, appreciate it, thank you. a man hunt is underway
