to have a monetary union work effectively. what happens is that the more efficient regions or in the case of the eurozone countries become even more efficient and wealthier the poorer regions or less efficient regions become poorer and less efficient. italy south was industrializing until the country unified and in the in the eight hundred sixty s. and seventy's and once that happened if you are an italian investor in the south why would you invest money in the south when you can earn more money by putting your savings in milan. or investing it in the north of italy so the south became steadily poorer so what did the italians have to do they had to get always and they still doing it had to send money to the south regularly not lend money but give
5:39 am
grants. and then the old days they had the big gossipy metal door the fund for southern italy which paid out tens of billions of dollars over a century i mean of endless payments that have been needed the wealthier provinces have to send money to the poor provinces not lend money send it. but there is a catch the master treaty stipulates that each country must manage its debt. europe is far from being a case of union. and yet in two thousand and twelve for the first time the president of the european central bank the e.c.b. took action. the euro is irreversible we will do whatever it takes we lean our monday night within our mandate to have

cancellation can be done to preserve the social order because we don't transform it most revolutions involve cancellation of dance ironically german prosperity now is based on the cancellation of german that's after world war two it seems very ironic that the german public is absolutely unwilling to even renegotiate debts of countries like greece calling them that centers when in fact all debts were cancelled after old work too and it was that freedom. which actually made the german economic boom. the recovery let it sit on the finance any political one. because if it landed a dead girl by let their head via a surrogate is ricky better you will see that you're about the one all of us are beyond this was about one global act truly those are all they do my go to

dozens have been injured and even more have been arrested but in today's protests police once again used tear gas and live ammunition that the president also addressed the nation on the eve of the country's sixty third anniversary independence anniversary and he said he wants to pave the way for negotiations with the people who are protesting. but how to think we shall enter into a new era where unity is reinforced and harmony is maintained in the whole country all with the aim to face the challenges and threats hovering above our head and here i renew the call to be honorable sudanese people in and outside of sudan to come together and stand united to parade on the good and not the evil we will join hands to denounce violence steer away from wars to engage in dialogue is the only means to resolve differences. now for him to negotiate with the people protesting would be very hard that's because the people who are marching out in the streets don't have a certain body that is basically guiding them the opposition has come out and lend it support to those people who are out in the street because they see that these
5:52 am
people have a legitimate reason to demand that president step down but then the thing is it's very hard for the president to try to negotiate with a body that is not controlled by anyone at the moment and people are saying that they will continue to protest they will continue to demonstrate on the streets they will continue to make their demands heard but the president is saying that he's very defiant he's not going to step down he's going to try to introduce economic reforms he's going to try to improve the economy something that the people out in the streets marching say said that they have heard over and over again and they're not ready to see after twenty one years of president amanpour israel so at the moment sudan is still at a crossroad protesters demanding that a president step down and present all over she very defined saying that he will improve the situation but he's not going to step down and it's not clear where the situation would lead to in terms of nineteen. of war in this joining in the studio is writer and author joseph ok and thanks very much for coming in the president's speech he really had a job to do with this speech to common berthing down to try and bring the protesters around do you think he succeeded at this the speech itself was rather
5:53 am
stressed munley actually quite an african generally and for a strong man like him but that said i think probably the audience is one that would not necessarily understand things to be talking about like the coming together unity would be the language that ordinary states people should really be doing making at this very crucial times about crimes trials bought for my basics like food to do fuel prices cost of living unemployment which is generally very big thing across the continent but particular in the sudan where he lost south sudan. and he lost the opportunity to to make money on oil and so he thought he would actually get the bit after having peace with the west after so should relief did and its. not to be happening probably asking for him from him too much too early i hear they sort of blaming it on the sanctions but they have ended it and you see the situation now escalating to see the protesters because things aren't improving
5:54 am
as far as their living can sound as a concerned do you see these protests still going on and they didn't seem to be coming to an end i think is quite unusual because the protest is not as much organized as you would actually expect the opposition guys the key leaders in the opposition we're sort of likely to come in and say this goes a little less but the be very very much determined quite consistent some people thought i tried to be over about a week ago it's not so it's very likely to continue whether or not the message he presented about unity may be one that me organize governors this goal is to make sure make them think that they can actually push this go to a negotiating table so that somewhere somehow there's a possibility for a transition which would probably be the more sensible thing particularly because she has actually modeled from the region as one who's after level to bring people around who brought in the south who don't need water ironically and he came out rather well about it now whether that is something that is able to do in the sudan
5:55 am
i'm not quite critical issue or certainly for most denny's that is no major voice from organized political opposition and as you know so there is a very strong order african nation states you touched on the west do you think that now they should be looking to the international community to try and sort of sort out this situation until it does what rather instead of it getting to an even worse state i think it will be in the interest of the broader international community support later after i get my two involved if they're not involved already in directly because south sudan at the moment is very very fragile congo. is very very fragile so darn that the republic is the self it became fragile the entire region and if you put it to two you go. and you thought it probably is coming becoming slightly much more common it would be very very difficult place to manage for the international community so the more on this one of the come perhaps the better for all of us we have an update as well where herring sudan's president omar al bashir
5:56 am
has agreed to establish a commission of inquiry into the process finding mission will be led by the minister of justice and we'll look into what caused the unrest as well as the police response that's a development so i was actually coming to the studio something along those lines in the tropics of london but you know that is part of the indication that i was suggesting that it's very likely that perhaps if the guy as opposed to him became slightly much more organized there's a possibility just about a possibility that the may be a june round table for a long term because he actually looks rather rutter but up at the same time he looks fairly problem for the kind of. shoes that would normally know ten fifteen years ago very interesting times joseph actually and i thank you so much for having . people in the yemeni port city of a day to say shelling is still going on despite a u.n. backed truce who say fighters agreed to under the control of a date or to a local coast guard to be overseen by the u.n. sponsored a recent deal and the government about by
