>> live from berlin, this is the "journal" on dw. declare him insane -- norwegian prosecutors want mass murderer ander breivik in a mental institution, not in prison. >> spanish auditors said the country's banks need up to 62 billion euros in a lot money. >> germany's political parties reach a deal on the europe fiscal compact to be ratified by parliament next week. the norwegian man who killed 77 people last summer in the

bombing and shooting rampage should spend the rest of his life in a mental institution, not in prison. >> on thursday, prosecutors in the trial of mass murder anders breivik called on the court to declare him insane and sentence him to psychiatric care. >> it did not go down well with the defendant. he smirked and raised his fist in a defiant right wing salute. >> we go live to oslo in a moment, but first, what happened in the courtroom. >> he observed court proceedings and passively. he showed no remorse as the public prosecutor explained that his deeds constituted a national trauma. she argued breivik was motivated by bias. and how did this happen? how could a man of greek so much havoc in such a short time? how could a citizen become a

killing machine? >> in recent weeks, the proceedings have focused on whether breivik is mentally fit to stand trial. psychiatric evaluations have contradicted each other. prosecution considers him to be insane. if the court agrees, he will spend the rest of his life in a close psychiatric unit. on july 22 last year, he detonated a car bomb outside government buildings in the capital, oslo. eight people died. he then moved on to the island where he killed 69 people execution-style with two automatic weapons. most of the victims were youngsters, attending a summer camp. breivik insists he is perfectly sane. he does not what is an elegy written off as the ravings of a madman. surveys show most norwegians would prefer him to go to jail.

survivors say their main motion as a relief that the harrowing trial is finally coming to an en. >> we are exhausted by this trial. it has lasted for a very long time, and it has been an emotional strain on all this. >> we are glad it is coming to an end. it has been 10 long weeks. >> the verdict is expected in a few weeks. >> let's get more on the story. i am joined by our correspondent in oslo. you have been in court since this trial began. how likely is it the judges will agree with prosecutors and the with the insanity and psychiatric care route? >> it is very hard to tell. a lot of commentators here have said it is less likely that the judges will come down on an insanity verdict, but then again, they have shown themselves throughout the trial

to act in a very independent way here today as well, they did stop the prosecution several times during their final statements to ask follow-up questions. i guess my answer is it is anyone's guess. >> closing arguments are expected tomorrow from the defense. what do you expect to hear? >> the defense is expected to ask for a quilt. this is because breivik himself has not accepted charges of terrorism and premeditated murder because it allows for a kind of help defense, i feel like, and he was defending what he sees as his nation. the defense has also likely said that barring that, they'll ask for him to be found sane and to

be given a prison sentence, not to go to the psychiatric ward. >> thank you very much. >> the spanish prime minister is welcoming the results of two stress test on his nation's banks. >> spain has been in the hot seat in recent weeks as investors speculate that its troubled banking sector could plunge the nation deep into the euro crisis. >> just how much bailout money will spain's banks need if their losses and up on the high end of expectations? >> tests suggest up to 62 billion euros, and they want the money as soon as possible. >> the deputy governor of spain's central bank released and the u.s. results of the highly anticipated stress test. spanish banks may need as much as 62 billion euros or as little as 16 billion, according to the audit commission for spain's government.

>> it is important to repeat that these results do not allow us to make precise evaluations. about each individual bank or banking groups' needs. but they do provide enough facts to make a ballpark forecast of what those needs will be. >> the results of the audits span a broad range theory they will form the groundwork for spain's request for eu financial aid, but they still represent a much lower some than previously estimated. the eu anticipated the bailout spans banking system would cost around 100 billion euros. madrid was expected to officially request e you help on thursday, but that has been postponed at least until next week. the spanish government faces growing pressure from the financial markets. interest rates on its 10-year bonds surged above 6% on

thursday. >> the new government in greece says it wants to renegotiate the terms of the country's bailout. but it has pledged to of all targets on deficit reduction and that control and vowed not to endanger greece's place in the eurozone. >> the cat net one that has also been announced. -- the cabinet has been announced. it does not include parliamentarians from junior partners. >> with grease voting to stick with the international bailout and the euro, european leaders are focusing their energy on making sure no more bailouts are needed in the future. >> the goal is a eurozone fiscal pact. so far, only france, greece, as lavinia have ratified the agreement. >> in berlin, german chancellor

angela merkel is wheeling and dealing to get broad support in parliament, but a legal hurdle could put the brakes on everything. that the left party leader is determined to stop ratification of the esmand eu fiscal combat, even if she has to appeal to germany's supreme court. is the type one of the key initiatives of angela merkel as a government, but the deal means the legislation can make it through before the summer break. >> it is a success for the government that these two major european treaties are on their way to being ratified. >> but the support for the fiscal that comes with strings attached, including demands from the two main opposition parties that the government commit to pushing through a financial transaction tax.

>> that means the financial markets, with profit from european rescue packages without having to share the costs, will now be called on to do their part in dealing with the further consequences of the crisis. >> the spd and greens also want funding. >> the government has to realize that there is no viable political majority for policies that rely only on austerity measures to find a way out of the crisis. either elsewhere in europe nor in germany. >> while the ems -- esm may help prevent further instability, troubled nations will not be getting a blank check to fix their debt woes. >> let's go to our parliamentary study appearing our political correspondent is with us. how realistic is it the germany's highest court could block the esm, and on what

ground? >> the question is whether the stability mechanism contravenes germany's basic law by circumventing the german parliament in budgetary matters. constitutional lawyers think that is not the case, but it is up to the constitutional court to decide, and nobody knows how long they will need to reach a decision, and that is where the problem is. it could take just a couple of days. it could take weeks. in any case, it is likely to hold up implementation of the stability mechanism because that is supposed to go into place in the beginning of july, and the court might need more time. >> that is exactly right. we know for sure germany is signing off on the euro fiscal pact, which is designed to bring more budget discipline to eu countries. what did chancellor merkel have to do in berlin to get broad support for this? then the chancellor merkel had to throw two bones to the opposition to get their support. first, she agreed to push for a european financial transaction

tax. at that does not work out, then with a coalition of the building with a minimum of nine members states supporting that. second thing she agreed to was a package of measures to promote growth and employment at european level. all of that was fine with the opposition, fine with the government. they are going to ratify this in parliament, but again, it all comes down to the question of whether the constitutional court will hold that up at a time when europe might need it badly. >> thank you very much. that meanwhile, the pressure to keep spain out of the euro crisis increased on thursday. the country's borrowing costs surged in a major debt auction. our correspondent has more on how the markets reacted in frankfurt. >> the news from spain dominated the mood at the financial markets. soaring borrowing costs are adding to spain president, but on the other side, the man had

this interest level, which was a relief, but everything else looks really gloomy. in the eurozone, the economic decline continued in june, and germany is more and more affected by the slowdown, putting pressure on the german dax and on the euro. also in the u.s., the economic situation is worsening. the recovery is fading. that is a good reason for the u.s. central bank to continue with its stimulus measures. >> let's get a closer look at market numbers for you. the dax, as we mentioned, close in negative territory on the day. the euro stocks 50 was also down, but slightly less. over in newark, trading still under way for the dow jones industrial average. the year of declining against the dollar, trading for $1.2552. >> there's at least one bright side to the struggling world economy. the price for oil is at the lowest it has been in eight months. thursday saw the price for a barrel of crude dropped to $91

in london. it is $30 less than the high in march. experts credit sluggish economic development in the u.s. and europe and expanding oil reserves. motorists should be able to look forward to lower gas prices as the summer driving season starts. that is if the gas companies pass on the lower prices. we will have to wait a little bit longer before we know who will be egypt's new president. >> the country's electoral commission has postponed announcing the results of last sunday's presidential runoff, saying it needs time to looking to appeals by both candidates. >> protesters have again gather in cairo to demonstrate against the delay. they also won the ruling military council to hand over power to a civilian government. the muslim brotherhood supporters camp out here last night and say they are not going anywhere until the winner of the election is announced. they do not understand why it is

taking so long. >> the results were 100% correct. there were no problems regarding judiciary supervision. the unofficial results show who is in the league. this delay, in my opinion, is a coup by the military council. they say they are investigating complaints. they do not need more than 24 hours to do that. they are testing our nerves. but everybody knows the results. then the tensions are mounting. -- >> tensions are mounting. "the egyptians are about to explode," writes this cairo daily. the muslim brotherhood has called for new mass protests. >> after the break, at the rio+ 20 conference, leaders say capitalists' greed is behind the emerging economy.

>> making a difference in kenya. stay tuned. >> culture, education, media -- shaking -- shaping and educational world. from june 25 to jan 27. >> the complete package,

straightforward no matter where you are. the dw app, one of our mobile options. >> welcome back, everyone. the rio+20 environment summit will run up tomorrow with the signing of a declaration on a more sustainable environment. >> many ngo's and advocates are already giving the document a big failure. they say world leaders attending the summit have not gone far enough to commit to a sustainable environment. >> that is right. and if you do not like the club you are in, you should start your own. some 200 non-governmental groups have already set up their own alternative event to get advocates talking to one another. it is called the nine-day people's summit. >> the atmosphere might look festive, but these demonstrators are very serious. they want much more to be done to protect the environment. they symbolically prepared to

bury a controversial new brazilian law on forest conservation. destroyed, especially the environment in our country. there is huge disappointment with rio+20, which brings together delegations from 193 states. environmental activists say the final communique that has already been drafted does not go nearly far enough. poverty is considered the biggest challenge. the goal is sustainable economic growth that is also environmentally friendly, but the communique sets no targets on how to achieve that. nevertheless, the united nations secretary general is calling the meeting a success. >> rio+20 is not an end but the beginning. it is time for all of us to think globally and long term. >> many european delegates had hoped for more. >> at least we have avoided

complete failure, the common statement we have agreed to does not fill everyone's wishes, but it is something to build on. >> at this stage, few people are expecting that anything more can be accomplished before the summit ends on friday. >> even if the summit is nothing to brag about, there are plenty of positive stories about how people are helping the environment. >> that is right. here's an example -- every year, the united nations' hands out the champions of the earth award. this year's winners include a masai warrior, who is putting green into the economy of kenya. and he used to hike through the hills, but now, he does the rounds at the wheel of a jeep as a member of a local conservation group. he regularly goes on patrol year. the kenyan savannah attracts tourists from around the world, and the masai were closely with an ego tourism watch to show

them the lay of the land. >> when i was young, i had about dislodge nearby. i always wanted to work there. and i got my first job as a waiter, and then i moved to the professional guy, and i escalated to manager of the company. >> but he had his sights set higher. he convinced them to manage their own land. with the help of sponsors, they found -- founded the masai wilderness conservation trust where a around 200 work as park rangers or in the lodges. rangers work to protect wildlife and, most importantly, the lines. they have had some of them with radio transmitters. if the price gets too close to a flock, they were in the animal herder's. if a lion harms livestock, the trust will help.

>> we convince people who lost their livestock. we also empower women, and we create sustainable employment for men and women. >> by embracing green tourism, they are trying to maintain a delicate balance between a traditional lifestyle and modern advances. they have built new schools and a solar-powered health center. the doctor makes house calls in his patients are too sick to travel. samson's plans are not done yet. the masai trust hopes to use the community's forests for emissions trading. if they are successful, the profits will help fund the next wave of development.

>> the burmese opposition leader has addressed both houses of the british parliament, asking for practical help as her country moves toward democracy. she told lawmakers and special guests that burma has the opportunity to reestablish true democracy, and the chance must not be wasted. this is her first visit to britain in 24 years after more than a decade of house arrest. >> as burma embarks on the path to reform, the once isolated country is looking for investment, and the signs show us that germany intends to make its presence known there. >> in a foreign country, even building sites can be interesting. for the visitors from germany, myanmar is definitely warrant. the number of workers on the site is amazing. labor is cheap here. there is little machinery, but things have been changing in the last few months, and that is what has brought 40 businessmen,

bankers, and engineers here. the biggest german delegation in years has high expectations. >> there is huge demand. much of the country is underdeveloped. it is a big market opportunity and should be used. i think this is exactly the right time. things are just now taking off. >> because myanmar, also known as burma, is changing. after nearly 60 years of isolation, the country's leaders are promising reforms. the race to get a piece of the pie has begun. the germans do not want to miss the action. the german delegation has an appointment at myanmar's chamber of commerce and industry, but they are not the only guests. the chamber says visitors have been dropping in from across the globe. they are welcome because myanmar needs investors and know-how. no deals have been finalized, but a memorandum of understanding has been signed. the germans are expected to play a big role in myanmar.

>> vocational training is very much involved. we need more training programs for the germans to come and invest. also, in the investment sector. >> some 60 million people in the country are waiting for the upswing. myanmar is still among the world's poorest countries, but it has huge potential. it is rich in natural resources and is strategically located between china and india, but there is a long road ahead. too much red tape and corruption plagued the country, and foreign investors still have few rights. the government promises to change that soon. one german who knows the country well is philip hoffman. he works for a trading company that sells chemicals, pumps, and cranes, and he confirms that interest in german products and know-how is enormous. he advises german colleagues to keep a cool head if they want to

enter the market. >> i would recommend that people start out small, at least for now, to see how things develop. >> the contacts have already been made. both the germans and the people of myanmar hope to profit from these contacts in the coming years. >> all right. in a moment, euro 2012 moves to the knockout round with the first quarter final between portugal and the czech republic. >> we are watching very closely, but first, we have other stories for you in greece. >> authorities say the syrian fighter pilots who directed to -- defected to jordan will be allowed to stay in the country. the decision to grant asylum was made hours at the pilot landed his jet at a military base in the north of the kingdom. syria has branded the pilot a traitor and says it wants its plane back. >> sweden has tightened security at its nuclear power plant after explosives were discovered at the plant in the denver.

material was found during a routine security check. the explosives were hidden in a truck, but no detonator was found. an investigation is under way. amateur sports news now. the quarter finals of your 2012 are under way with portugal and the czech republic facing off in warsaw. no score so far. about five minutes left in the first half. >> fans have swarmed into the polish capital to lend moral support to their national team. some supporters rode into town aboard a train chartered for the occasion. and that once before in the european championship quarterfinals in 1996 when the czech republic 1 and went all the way to the finals. >> another big game tomorrow. greece and germany. they will face off against each other. greece has this tradition, i would say, of making things -- or germany, italy does not have the reputation of making things easy on the greeks.

>> yes, and it seems like that are out for a bit of blood. >> he says he wants his team to show killer instinct. that germany is heavily favored to reach the semifinals, but the coaching staff has want players to avoid complacency. -- >> germany is heavily favored. >> euro 2012 has shown time and again that we should expect surprises. >> friday's match could prove to be a barn burner. the german squad has s of the gn action and adjusted their own game to take on the euro 2004 champions. >> there are -- they are a difficult opponent, tough on defense. they will definitely play defensively while trying to get things done up front. that speculation is rife that the strikers returned to the starting lineup, despite the three goals scarred -- score by mario gomez so far.

as for the potential political implications of the match, the german coach says he is not worried. >> for us, it is a perfectly normal quarterfinal match. we see it solely in terms of the sport. >> solely in terms of the sport, germany wants to keep raese out of the championship on friday, but that will certainly be easier said than done. >> that is it for now. you can find out more about the euro 2012 action on our website, dw.de/sports. malachite you are on twitter, you can also get tweets from us. >> stay with us. we will see you at the top of the next hour. captioned by the national captioning institute --www.ncicap.org--
