the european central bank is holding its latest move will stimulate the eurozone economy with such developments. the bank has long been opting for low interest rates to support growth. two years ago the rate was at one and a half percent. since then it's excessively drop. with the current cut to a quarter of a percentage point more owing money has never been cheaper and the rolls on following today's rate cuts the governing council review the full route guidance provided in july. and go to bed he continues to expect bt ecb interest rates to remain at present all lower levels for an extended period of time. low benchmark interest rate cheap credit and higher investments usually also hike prices because the fuel demand for building materials cars computers and other consumer goods. what eurozone inflation unexpectedly fell to an annual rate of zero point seven percent in

the company is and that has beamed up. or you know bases and in order to encourage growth that is being needed so that is one of them angle towards the cbo frisbee going along with this decision. so you think that banks in southern europe will pass on this rate cut to their customers. i don't know whether they pose on the rate cut by the iwi in the interest rate of what they will have to do is they will have to man began to the banking community because of the ones that build models of business models is being hampered the cd forces in southern european part to give more lonesome has real economy and that is a good arm braces for growth going forward into twenty four team what this is like i'd actually tell us about how the ecb is being run. well the ecb is being run in a way that's wrong. reminds us of the southern europeans saw them the more than europeans thought of then again the malt giving up on the aspect that it still

seven backed companies really got into the background and adding to all of this came the ipo of twitter in the all no wonder that many people here are convinced that this thursday was the most eventful day at the exchange of the cia. and as i read just mention all the highs have been on the twitter debut on the new york stock exchange today in the ipo most certainly has not fallen short of expectations and shares opened at over forty five dollars and ten cents a share of seventy three percent jump from the twenty fifth elephant share issue price. the seven year old micro blogging company has attracted two hundred thirty million users worldwide. but as ever turn a profit. but investors are betting on potential wealth as the company hires more and invests in data centers. so now how did the market reacted the ecb is easy money and this week to week of twitter. look at the numbers for you babe i wasn't always as you might expect the dow which is currently still open

for trading in new york is actually in negative territory where as the dax in germany just got a slight bump and about half a percentage point the euro stocks fifty closed in negative territory on thursday that he was really important to note that all of these indexes they have been hovering near record highs in recent sessions out to be just a bit of profit taking as for the euro dollar currently trending lower trading for one dollars thirty four thirty four. that same year in germany continues to lie in his coffers tax revenues have been on the rise in recent years and now to raise finance minister says the government is set to take more than what was eventually forecasts for the next few years that announcement comes right in the middle of the top coalition negotiations in berlin the twins have the knack of conservatives and the social democrats and that you don't see eye to eye on fiscal issues. germany's finance minister of old things like the no campaign and he has reason to be. he says gemini is on track for a slight

increase in tax revenue. he's warning the full costs of these little room for maneuver in coalition talks with the social democrats today's us is induced in the current tax income projections confirm that our goal is within range in the wind is a balanced budget for twenty fourteen and a federal budget for twenty fifteen that contains no new debt. so we must embrace this opportunity. and we should not put at risk with requests for excessive spending budget you see him. this is a message to summon choice as christian democrat party but mostly for the social democrats spd wants to boost spending for education and famines. of the confidence that some of what we also have suggestions to improve the state's finances which were part of our campaign platform the finance ministry always complains that something costs money. a distinct loss of benefit to sign off i'd like to think that it's a tough gal five

so germany's economy is still generating enough tax income to run the country wants to buy a ticket costs could grind cent steals a made in the negotiations to create a grand scale edition steel cased great top spy she stepped out of the shadows today to make their first appearance together. well the hands of the uk is mean intelligence agencies face questions from the parliamentary committee the bowl as a former us intelligence contractor and which noted for blowing the lid on american and british spying programs five asa said snowden revelations that compromise their operations. and they insisted that al qaeda is having a field day with the leak information. it was their first joint appearance before lawmakers the hands of domestic and foreign intelligence agencies m i five and two minus six and electronic surveillance agency cheesy hq told the committee they were struggling to support terrorism in the age of the internet. that means that we have to anticipate

discover noise investigate and was only going to do lately is the press come yet it is going great. gc hq gathers and processes vast amounts of internet and telephone data were trading in the uk and abroad the agency had said the information leaked by edward smoking and make their work more difficult like changing the behavior of the terror risk groups a marker. what i can say here is this the leaks the film that certain i'd be very damaging. they put up operations at risk. it is clear that i just respond rather than speak to me the recent spying allegations involving the british embassy in berlin were not discussed. when asked about spying on britain's allies saw laura said am i six operated in very few countries and its priorities were set by the government agreed to use all those buttons. thursday's hearing will be followed by further sessions both and private. it is and of course

initial deal that would resolve its dispute with the international community the western allies for their part say there are also encouraged by tehran friendlier rhetoric since president saddam or honey came to power in june but they say iran has to back up its words with action he runs for a minister's job was the greed and eu foreign policy chief catherine ashton made an optimistic impression that if the talks in geneva the two met privately before the round table meeting. rees said the negotiations would be hard work but still the deal could be reached there was no official comment from ashton mother on the ewould exct coneten said stions from in. i d think tt anyone'expected minute instant results this is of this is a negotiation process. so me we are hopeful that we could make considerable progress this weekmonday it clear what iran is bringing to the table
