the women we will listen with and we will be millions from here is ames problems weren't enough there is now talk of greece defaulting on its loans even potentially exiting the year. and portugal's recent bailout is reported to be worth around seventy eight billion years that spain is the euro zone's fulfill largest economy bit different challenge altogether if it fails. if the situation happens that the markets would not manage it going 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 that any cost because spain is too big to fail. then we've got to. the big question now is just how much longer can the usa continue bankrolling going bust as the spiraling debt crisis continues to escalate. it was a ministers are struggling to maintain

6:07 pm
getting the i.m.f. involved. and assisting in designing these bailout packages but also coaxing and encouraging politicians to do the reforms necessary now you may not get the equivalent of person with the same kind of convictions coming from the emerging markets. one of the world's biggest investment banks fell three years ago it triggered a global recession we're still reeling from today but it's still the driving the euro to extinction will only make matters worse the consequences probably would be higher and higher that was for instance as a bankruptcy of lehman in two thousand and eight with e.u. economies that death's door there's a team that toppling the world's leading banker comes at the worst possible time this is not just the end of a career domenic first call was instrumental in rescuing the euro zone's most troubled states is a risk does seem to threaten the end of the euro itself and i know bush will r.t.

a pulled out of the same day as multiple bombings had baghdad killing sixteen people in the u.k. joining the american invasion of iraq in two thousand and three supposedly to destroy him hussein's election weapons of mass destruction which turned out to be nonexistent opposition to the war three hours outside groups significantly in britain as a result one hundred seventy nine british military personnel died in the conflict and it was a trial of most of you gay forces got under way almost two years ago say british involvement failed to make the graph paper place with terror attacks still a regular occurrence translated body count research project as the kerry has tended to ignore the casualties of these. commentators of whatever political persuasion work of for or against this conflict of united in ignorance and even casual treatment of iraq the cost of this and we believe that this will not be laid to rest properly until there is
6:12 pm
a full detailed inquiry into the iraqi deaths that have been caused whatever benefits may have accrued to some people in iraq and these are highly contested people who died are absolutely the ultimate losers of this conflict and we should know all we have about understand that i'm trying sure that in any future of our military forces we do better in terms of in human lives it's clear that britain considers itself a major player in the world and that means putting its troops and forces around the world we very much hope that in conflicts it's currently engaged in such that goes down and pays more attention to the civilian casualties which it claims particularly in trying to avoid but so far has shown itself willing to do. you're with c.n.n. still ahead on the program breaking away from the u.k. going down britain can't resist these strong holds. well you stay or will you go that's what many have been trying to ask you to make
6:13 pm
for me to read it as the twenty twelve presidential candidate in russia draws closer to their president later as q. and a session was a perfect opportunity to throw the question into the ring but he threw it straight i can't take it and he's country knows that he. one hundred thirty seven minutes eight hundred journalists seventy two questions and one man to answer and about your question president imitative how this first major press conference on wednesday giving many a chance to voice their questions but while some are serious what would you say is there a chance to give to each of our actions well deserved accommodation. and sound more light hearted. i know that your wife has to park in knots and i've never had to park my own car so maybe i could borrow one of these education much of. it was the question of a possible second turn that everyone including the president expected the most
6:14 pm
a showing here i give those ideals the decision over the presidential race is not made in this kind of format it should be made when the situation is right as well have a greater political impact and i will follow this principle in the server i want to make a statement i will make it easy to make you feel free in this tree of whether current president of egypt for former president clinton will run for office in twenty twelve has become moscow's most debated topic according to me david if the two men share a lot of views but also have their differences lesser clashing yes my aim my relationship with my colleague and political partner putin is not just something that people call a time when actually we have been working together for over twenty years and we know each other well that's we think alike and all views on key issues in our country's development are very close but this doesn't mean. the same way we have different views on what might ization i think this process can be much faster. be able to
6:15 pm
having sidestepped the most intriguing topic related still took time to focus on major domestic and international issues and archie's question about syria conjured him to make a very strong statement i said a super serious yet i will not support reza. lucian's on syria frankly speaking they were disregarded by the actions that some states took even though initially russia supported the first resolution and didn't veto the second what happened afterwards demonstrated that these kinds of resolutions can be manipulated this is deplorable because it undermines the all thirty of the un but i believe it shows according to some a growing unease with decisions made concerning the middle east this commitment have appeared somewhat to regret russia's support of the resolution on libya was quite strong in saying that. the actions are currently going beyond what he thought he was voting for. so i think internationally people take note of that because it
6:16 pm
will signify russia's increasing our knees i think about what's going on in libya and more broadly in the middle east but i didn't detect a sense from mr inventive that the security council wasn't the proper forum in which these things should be discussed with a lot of regional journalists present many questions focused on domestic matters but one subject of great interest to the media both in russia and abroad is the imprisonment of former oil tycoon who their course is secret of course released who he did danger to society that was assured question and the old ensure that no absolutely not the president's use however i'm likely to influence how difficult the sentence i don't think it means he is going to be released and after all it's not the president who put him in jail and i don't think it will be politically easy for material to. parole. although he has such
6:17 pm
a possibility according to war but you know these sort of things happens very rarely in any country including russia so i think basically what mediator wanted to say is that he doesn't dispute the decisions of the court but he doesn't consider this person that they knew. as the press conference reporters aided its success after nearly two and a half hours reading in the database the press farewell and headed back to the kremlin but the question that remains unanswered is will he stay there after twenty twelfth's catches are our team moscow. and he caught up with the press secretary straight on to a conference call it explained why the president was taking his time to answer the question on everyone's lips and we'll have that interview in around a minute. in a speech to america's main pro israel being group apac president obama has been
6:18 pm
jewish state risks increasing isolation if it fails to engage in the peace process he clarified his call for a return to pre nine hundred sixty seven borders explaining the big guy no boundaries of the israeli and a new palestinian state would be determined after the agreed land swaps not be exact frontiers of those times prime minister binyamin netanyahu earlier rejected the idea political analyst and joint mere america's getting tired it was rolls peponis. there's no question that united states is well beyond losing patience with netanyahu and with israel more generally on closed doors the united states is furious with israel because israel is pursuing a policy that is not we american national interest this is disastrous for us and that's why obama wants a two state solution to the problem that obama faces like all american presidents face is if you can't win any krisher on israel
6:19 pm
a couple lobby in this country has some powerful way to do great damage to obama's political future and president obama was saying very clearly is that israel is being isolated around the world and palestinians are gaining offer hand in terms of world opinion and what's going to happen here is that it's going to be israel and the united states against the rest of the world this is just a esther's for the united states and disastrous for israel and that's the message that obama is sending to netanyahu but unfortunately the message is not getting through. nato is showing no sign of backing down its aerial bombing campaign in libya and with the u.s. now waiting for more than sixty days in there without official consent from congress critics say the military action is constitutionally illegal breaches their war powers act while even officials warning campaign has created a humanitarian crisis accusing nato thoughts of violating the u.n.
6:20 pm
resolution under which they take an action they had of britain's armed forces declares that killing cattle khadafi would be within the rules as nato breaking that south prolonged war comes after the international criminal court and i'll state thinking arrest warrants for the media but journalist james corbett says the case could set a dangerous precedent. and would be easy to dismiss the international criminal court's appeal for a an arrest warrant for his crimes against humanity as that is something of a farce especially considering that the international criminal courts and prosecutor's office now admits that not a single member of that office actually bothered to step foot in libya to investigate crimes against humanity with which he was charged but i think this is actually sets a very troubling precedence in the realm of international jurisprudence where we see the idea that for all intents and purposes nato geo political foreign policy can now be justified put through to ridicule action in this international criminal
6:21 pm
court simply by and so the ludicrous nature of the entire operation is exposed for all to see and hear is a humanitarian intervention that is now literally going to be blown in infrastructure for the libyan people on the basis of humanitarian intervention it's supposed to help the populace again it makes no sense on its face unless it's understood that this is simply an attempt to change and it is now being supposedly justified through this very troubling president of an international criminal court being able to dictate what happens within the boundaries of a sovereign country so i think we'll see this president used as a way of basically allowing needle countries in nato hedging on its interests to dictate their foreign policy through that score. check out more of the stories we're covering at home regular updates and catching videos are always online for you right now. the u.s. state department is on the hunt for a new york resident who went around car dealership posing as
