facing a crucial confidence vote in parliament on the terminal whether he'll be able to secure another injection of cash from the e.u. and save the country from plunging into deeper crisis monday finance ministers further pressure on greece they gave two weeks to pass fresh budget cuts and tax increases missions that must be met to secure a previously agreed installment of twelve billion euro. independence party wants out of the e.u. says the uncertainty over the next payment for greece is understandable. they've got frozen feet about that but about the whole deal i mean greece is really not a very large economy and. in the present seventy billion with probably more to come in twelve months time and i mean where's it all going to when what's basically happening is of the tax payers of northern europe particularly germany are going to

have to pay up to stop greece should default president only or don't particularly like the obsession in the near fanaticism of the european elite for the political project of the united states. and a common currency has resulted in a terrible terrible human cost if there is a greek default the people who would suffer would be the holders of greek sovereign debt who are basically buying institutions and the like is sort of the people who are suffering no. principle in private the two million private sector employees in greece who are actually bearing the brunt of these draconian austerity cuts. britain will not take part of the new greek bailout that's you take a prime minister is a promise to taxpayers he said he saw no reason why britain should be involved in the burdens facing eurozone countries but don't go on to the referendum campaigns britain this to cash by the i.m.f.
2:11 am
. george osborne and david cameron are prime minister is saying they will not put any british cash into the bailout but that kind of playing with words really could be just increased the amount of money would pay to the i.m.f. from ten billion to nineteen billion and if greece defaults and let's face it they are going to default not only on the first bailout but on the second bailout if indeed it does go through in a couple of months when they do default on that will be liable to pick up some of the bill so british taxpayers will pay for it i personally agree with the mayor of london boris johnson some people say he'll be the next prime minister after cameron i say let's greece go to the wall you know more bailouts greece must be allowed to leave the eurozone let them have the drachma then they can devalue then they can set their wages where they want to set them then they can begin to rebuild from there if we don't do it now as jack straw our former foreign minister and home secretary said in the house of commons it's just a slow agonizing death of the euro. financial guru max kaiser has his say about

2:15 am
hatred and anger foster more terror if you push them against the wall then if this militancy and don't use them is going to increase this is not dissolution because if you're attacking them by drones and they're not part of the war there are good ones on the other side who which might be they're going to join in pakistan in the one year the u.s. strikes killed seven hundred civilians but netted only five actual militant leaders many pakistanis are furious at their government for helping the americans kill their own people they accuse their leaders of doing that in exchange for billions of dollars from washington americans on the other hand are not too happy with what they get in return for their billions how do we support governments allied to us when do we say enough is enough most governments lie to each other that's the way business gets done and made all the cheerleading about bin laden's killing the u.s. has stepped up drone strikes in pakistan. and pakistan in

2:17 am
military is legally under expect more bombs to fall on yemen when the us starts to hit people who are members by the new arabian peninsula then i think the real worry is that it expands this war to the point where so many people join up with al qaeda there's fury in yemen over the killing of scores of civilians by the drone strikes in want to tack there the american military presumably ming at an al qaida training camp ended up killing dozens of women and children in another strike a year ago a drone mistakenly killed a deputy governor in yemen his family and eight with the expansion of the wrong war its influence is seeking only a misnomer the fighting on might have analysts say some of the main features of this new wall the facepalm are not having taking down the fourth symphony and that their money and the lack of accountability when it comes to sitting in that area that had more carried on the west side of me the way that america is fighting and bomb terror at the same time i am going to check out reporting.
