5:02 am
the case even more taxpayers' money being plowed into rescuing others that could have done that i don't think that. i think that. that is because that is a good thing i don't think five makes about it believe it was forty three percent of under twenty five that it was like the whole labor market the focus was still so i do think i think that this going to be. something that the usa is problems weren't enough there is now talk of police the full thing and it's even potentially accepting the year. and portugal's recent bailout is reported to be worth around seventy eight billion years that spain is the euro fulfill largest economy the different challenge altogether if it fails.
5:03 am
if the situation happens when the markets would not manage it buying out of spain's debt is the most catastrophic scenario for the e.u. what will the e.u. do i think and many experts share my opinion that the e.u. will do the utmost to avoid the scenario would any cost because spain is too big to fail. then you got a computer the big question now is just how much longer can the usa continue bankrolling going bust as the spiraling tech crisis continues to escalate as a ministers are struggling to maintain a united front. of financial survival for such countries especially in canada seriously course in danger of the euro this me lead to a period of two currencies the euro a strong group of countries using your and the rest of. the european commission will take time to think over there is for adopting the other. which would you
5:04 am
think continues to play down speculation that it would be the next time feeds off her bat out this problems continue in greece i did not vote for the possibility of same becoming the next year you think the teeth of remains very real and right now you're ok and ideal and the reality is not to be so far apart. that's the big threat. well for more on the european bailouts let's talk now to have your ideas humanise professor of economics at the university of nevada who is in madrid for us thank you for being with us or now spain is in severe economic straits realistically speaking can avoid a full collapse without being bailed out. well i think so i think i would not call siri your dire straits it's it's you know it's not complicated situation you know girls prospects are weak it's recovery. with respect to the other countries in the
5:05 am
area but there are many by and watched my konami caters spain is fundamentally sound. it's. only sixty percent perhaps the biggest problem responders economy right now is our unemployment rate which is around twenty one percent the entire situation in the cities is so i would call it goes too far from from catastrophic. well how do you assess the economic situation in the european union i mean look at all the bailouts of bailout plans there and what is this a sign of is this a sign that the e.u. is failing as an institution well it's a sign that the euro project needs stronger. and stronger colleague. as long as you were in the euro area she said so plus us versus them it's clearly not going to work you need some form of all physical
5:06 am
transfers of the euro why used to be sure if you want to project going otherwise you will sooner or later we would fail let's talk now about the situation in greece as we know you're on after it's the economy there is not showing signs of improvement and some accuse greece of not trying hard enough so how much longer in your opinion can't you see bailing it out. well greece is a relatively small country so sure there is some leeway for for extra help for improving their long. standing. but it's clear that we're just. waiting for a time and in seclusion the reforms are needed if you if you're going to the eurozone to get. these problems cannot go on forever and perhaps the
5:07 am
restructuring is not such a. or at least is something that must be contemplated. now mr madison talks have been overshadowed by news of the arrest of dominic strauss kahn has spoken out in support of giving greece a second chance so how will these absence of fact the course of the meeting today i think you know this is good news but but these to do so are should be before people are going seen girl if i go to. some other brazil is missing of course it will be us from all the louis to undo some of the. nominated intimately charge of discussion as to how those discussions but i don't see you don't need your. dogs by two or three days and do the whole thing. we can stick you. right have already as
5:08 am

5:09 am
possibly even kill colonel gadhafi the leader is clinging to power despite nearly two months of grueling airstrikes britain's military chief says the campaign is failing to topple gadhafi and wants to hit more targets and his role general sir david richards insisted killing dopy in an airstrike would be within the rules coalition officials have previously deny targeting him personally and all this comes as international prosecutors prepare to bring charges of war crimes against these leaders trying caster jarrett's lending says the u.s. went after gadhafi because he didn't meet their criteria. the u.n. is nothing more than a tool of a barack look at the hypocrisy coming out of the united nations as they go ahead and they'd libya with their humanitarian dogs i mean how could people be so ignorant in ept in uncaring it dropping bombs on moammar gadhafi home oh they call it is. his command and control center it's is how this was supposed to be
5:10 am
humanitarian mission while at the same time they turned a blind dog to what's going on in the ivory coast with millions of refugees what's going on in the sudan and what's going on in yemen and bahrain it's the club they only prosecute who they want to prosecute and when you're a member of the club you're excluded it's the united. states policy of going after those they don't like doing business with as opposed to those they are doing business with that are actually committing even more heinous crimes professor vernon's ian durrant a high profile leader of a radical and to vietnam war group back in the sixty's sounds the killing of civilians whoever does it is an act of terror. bombing from the year in order to save people is a terrible idea it goes bad people don't like it usually is terrorism because it's killing civilian people in large numbers i think that you can call it you know
5:11 am
a message of. war to free people but i think that of course you have wars of power of always been wrapped in. paper and ribbons of democracy bringing education freedom to people it's terrorism where you end up yes army civilian populations i can. watch the full interview with professor byrne of the in your next hour here on our t.v. . it's been a day of violence in the middle east where israeli troops fired on protesters along three hostile borders as demonstrators attempted to cross into the country the clashes broke out another but day the anniversary of the founding of the jewish state palestinians lost their homes or were expelled at least sixteen people were killed near the lebanese syrian and gaza warders tear gas and rubber bullets were
5:12 am
used in an attempt to stop or tester's crossing into israel security officials said they sustained in areas as well prime minister benjamin netanyahu said he hoped calling would return but warn the country is determined to protect its territorial integrity and little activists sammy says protesters can stand against israeli forces. what has been happening since nineteen forty. we are having millions over three g.'s and they are not allowed to come back to their homes while you know that you have these soldiers jewish immigration from all over the world coming to the land the desire that was promised to them by got two thousand years ago or a little bit more the people who were expelled during the war of one thousand forty eight sixty three years ago part of them still alive i'm not allowed to get back though the israelis also don't want them to commemorate this got their strophe that happened to them in one thousand nine hundred the thread the police didn't want to get back who is the last moment thing i can think of with the israeli violence
5:13 am
against and the prevention of these people to get back for the last six to three years is a serious ghattas are for the most of the world unfortunate enough and they are living to all the israeli life or saying that there are these people who are throwing stones some people might and then going through songs on the borders what would happen does this huge massive forces of israel if people are so some stones on the borders. well beyond the latest violence israel is also accused of blackmailing people in gaza to become collaborators palestinians say they are trapped and are often only allowed to leave by green. to become informers for israeli intelligence. reports. the latest weapon of war targeting the sick and the helpless and denying them health care unless they become soldiers for the other side. i needed urgent surgery which couldn't be done here in gaza i had to get jerusalem but when i arrived at the emirates border crossing i
5:14 am
was arrested by the israeli security service they brought me into a building for questioning kept me there from ten in the morning until six in the evening. the payoff is simple become an informant and get a permit to leave gaza for medical care in israel jordan or the palestinian with ban or refuse and face the health risks and it's not casual operation but one which is highly planned and targeted involving senior israeli intelligence officers according to the man who says he was put under severe pressure to collaborate. during those long hours colonel mushy for the mossad trying to bargain with me he said that if i refused i would go blind and will be said back to gaza without permission to get to jerusalem for. some stories familiar to my new role in dozens of similar cases across his desk each month as organization physicians for human rights represents patients from gaza whose permits to leave for medical treatment have been delayed or rejected by israel he says ever since i must took over gaza in
5:15 am
two thousand and seven many of the roughly a thousand people who apply each month to leave gaza for health care outside are turned down sometimes in different between. for medical care is a different life or. whatever they can to exit. question but unfortunately use this very sensitive situation to recruit people but these really government denies it's taking advantage of the situation and rubbishes the claims as nonsense people who have been refused entry for security reasons have to explain. and find a reason why they weren't allowed in but let's be clear the numbers speak for themselves eighteen thousand gazans in two thousand and three and they entered israel for medical treatment is the allegation that all eighteen thousand are working for israeli security it's simply ludicrous palestinian informers
5:16 am
potentially provide important information for the israeli army but spying for israel is seen as treason by palestinians and is punishable by death hamas also accuses israel of using social networking sites like facebook to access the private information of arsons and i says the israeli army then blackmails those guardians of innocently published information about their friends and family online. as well but some although he refused to be swayed and paid the price. they sent me back to goza because i'd rather be sick i'm doing something cooperate with the israeli. home of the as gaza moves closer to egypt but for me gyptian president hosni mubarak now to the picture palestinians believe that a more nervous israel will be seeking new tactics to oppose them that's why they think they're going to be informers and invisible weapon but often the most damaging of all to militant movements is likely to remain

negotiations at this stage over the weekend russian energy minister sergei go say that he thought a solution would be found what should we actually read into that do you think that will have the world who finally afterwards it should be one way or another the thing is obvious this is the kind of complicated it's been too long way too long for this kind of simple solution. that a certain order deal will be finalized but more rain now let's see him a half a year from now because formally. announce the deal. formal agreement in the matter is a matter of fact there is no mutual accord on what to do next and after that because the interest of the two companies has not been properly we aligned the thing is basically in the initial stage we created the position of.
5:24 am
the because. they have tried to the be waylaid certain provisions in this. deal right for we submitted the claim to have it won an arbitrator to untie this conflict right now we created the position because. he is not in the position to suggest that some form of financial remuneration for a mitchell compensation has to be paid to tink a b p just for the mare but that it is not in the position to technically to develop arctic sea shells it's not a rightful point therefore it has to wait patiently until b.p. will make up its mind what to do with it i understand what you're saying it but what do you think a solution could they do you think they will offer shares and can i mean and what do you think the actual package will be that they have been i can say what they cannot do right now explicitly is not willing to pay any case at the moment for
5:25 am
their own goal we deal that's number one and we have to make that. we have to. basically align the whole story to the sport and the next thing is that obviously is a win win situation for both. so they're going to go ahead and find a way that's number two number three is technical solutions technicals kind of shaky at this point so i think he's not going to pay cash right now but he will in a way to be. in some form of corporation just on that note what sort of position like how strong is a r.'s negotiating position because if the deal collapses won't that harm the value of teams. i don't think so i don't think it will substantial impair the shareholder value team q.b.p. because initially it was a very unlikely he will go ahead and participate in it will be as is this
5:26 am
partnership because as we previously it does not possess and this is cyclical. equipment and skills to do sort of complicated process projects on the market shelf therefore i don't think it will drastically. if you can impair the shareholder. because all the of the stuff in between can go further with your decision so this issue has to be very explicit were sharp and has put on paper right so you think that we will get a positive solution for all facets some really sooner or later it was thank you very much for coming in sharing information with us. now that secular at the markets crude oil futures continue to lose ground with the rest of the head of the
