here is this tale just who the hell do you think you people are you are very very dangerous people indeed your obsession with creating this euro state means that you're happy to destroy democracy you appear to be happy for millions and millions of people to be unemployed and to be poor or other told millions must suffer so that your euro dream could continue if you rob people of their identity if you rob them of their democracy but all they are left with is nationalism and violence countries are now waking up to the reality of the nightmare that chap says. the euro is a political present for countries such as greece and spain and they need to be liberated from their prison recreate their own currencies have devaluation make their exports cheaper make it easier for tourists to visit their countries and they'll get back on their feet greece ireland portugal italy spain it dominates continue to topple the year and it seems there will be no you happily
2:02 am
ever after. in. economics professor patrick man for it's as some e.u. countries may have to accept the fold as wealthier nations no longer want to pay for their costly rescue. well i think we've known all along that a lot of banks in europe and the north would not stress tests if these stress tests included the possibility of sovereign default because of course they've got loads of greek and portuguese and spanish debt and so there was never any question that one of the reasons why it might be in germany's interest to bail out greece is that it's if it doesn't it's going to have a banking crisis of its own and will have to bailout its own banks but i think the the judgment of the taxpayer is they'd rather bail out their own buying if they have to then keep on giving money to greeks who may never get to give it back to them so there's no bail really in prosperity by these rich northern countries and
2:03 am
therefore the other countries have to think of some way of getting by and that's going to be default and on the other side of the atlantic president obama has worn down the u.s. is running out of time to deal with its own debt crisis as one american news website editor told people can't afford the government's pet projects and military wish list for pretty interesting who are the same ones. demanding we have a debt ceiling increase these are the ones jamie diamond's of the world telling us that you know if we don't do it it's going to be catastrophic well it's going to be catastrophic if we do do it it's already catastrophic because of the fact that from two thousand and seven to now we went from nine trillion to fourteen point three trillion but if these power elite in these in these corporate interests get their way. they want this it is in their agenda to get this done because it guarantees profits for the agenda is what the people of the country have all the burden for running the government pretend that we have this thirty five percent corporate tax
2:04 am
rate but in reality these too big to fail corporations they absolutely nothing and their profits are guaranteed and they can fail unlike main street continue has failed primarily since two thousand and seven and continues to fail as we speak today the fact of the matter is that the people we take in over two trillion dollars a year we pay that much in income taxes right now we take in enough money to make our social security payments we don't take in enough money to keep funding special interest plain and simple and we don't take in enough money to keep this projection of the empire america alive and well five military engagements around the planet you know corruption has run amok you know primarily since two thousand and eight it's been you know pedal to the floor so the idea that our president comes out and uses this calculated tactical fear tactic in order to scare one of the weakest segments of our population is an absolute and utter insult at least to anybody who's a critical thinker. so has this hour now rupert murdoch is under fire on
2:05 am
all fronts and is losing the tenants on both sides first his u.k. boss eventually quit now his long serving right hand man in america is going to news corp is creaking under the phone hacking claims of murder victims and possibly the nine eleven attacks but his associates are going to report a reader's appetite for sleaze will mean the tabloids survive. sex drugs cheating and lies phony political scandal flashing dirty laundry racy made up celebrity gossip and crime stories almost beyond human imagination. old list is served on a platter and sold for a couple of quarters by tabloids headless man in topless bar or something to kids moms in the freezer. i bought it veteran journalist michael musto is one of millions falling for the bait of catchy headlines even though he
2:06 am
knows the business inside out in america we don't break the law per se but they do have sleazy tactics i mean they will slant a story they probably make up sources i mean when you read them a source. a source said well who is it. they can just make up the quote themselves joe smith from queen said blah blah blah a lot of times i feel they're just inventing these quotes to back up the thesis of the story fascination with scandal is almost religiously observed in the u.s. and great britain we are both countries in both media environments where gossip sells and there's a tremendous interest in celebrity both countries are a buzz after rupert murdoch's news of the world newspaper phone hacking shocker broke in london his empire stretches far and wide across the u.s. as well let's not forget he owns the new york post the wall street journal and the daily at a protest outside rupert murdoch's big apple pad protesters demanded an investigation
2:07 am
into his publications that whole we know. because he was caught and we want congress to investigate what he's doing here in the united states we don't know if newspapers or other people in this country yet but i see no reason to put it past them so how far from potential public embarrassment do american newspapers stand but the ones that are owned by rupert murdoch without question the new york post. is one of the most hideous deceitful. tools of criminals that there could be when it comes to getting scandal sold in the us counting on the readers short attention span is a common publishing trick jennifer aniston brad pitt has gotten together about forty two times so far this year and i haven't seen the photographs together since two thousand and six they're able to keep selling and repackaging the same story that isn't even a story no publication would admit to paying for and for me. but that's also often a technicality what a lot of mainstream news publications can get away with doing is even though they won't explicitly give someone money in exchange for an interview someone might set
2:08 am
up a terrible organization and then the news will happen to donate twenty thousand dollars to that charitable organization the culture of sensationalism in the press is putting the future of journalism on the line the anglo-american style is it's trashy it's ribald there's just sort of this snickering tone is very american and you know we're a juvenile society we're young society i don't really know what the brits excuses i mean they've been around a long time but. we blame it on them because we're their children while some will always remain fascinated by tabloids as rags continue to sell others have reached a breaking point and i don't have that great of a sense of what happens in britain but i know it's pretty bad here and there are a lot of people who are really upset about the culture of news in america and just how little information seems to get out there between all the gossip the press has to be vigilant and in the united states the press has fallen asleep and. new york
2:09 am
easy for many to take the moral high ground over the murdoch paper is suspect reporting but the truth is sleaze sells laurie harvest asks people in new york if news corp's nightmare is enough to change reading habits. how has tabloid journalism become so influential and so popular in today's world this week let's talk about that i mean people like to read about other people's business. you know. newspapers have to try to compete with the internet. with up to date you know. dirt i think it's absolute trash there's no space in this world for it at all i hope they'll go in there but they're not going under they're increasing in power i don't believe that this is going to be the biggest takedown ever rupert murdoch is going down i think it's more of
2:10 am
a pop culture base audience and so the journalists kind of cater to that and in turn it's kind of fun for them to be secret detectives but isn't it terrible i mean it might be fun but it's still criminal acts it's horrible i hate journalists you know whatever that whatever it takes to get the story and her whoever they want you know do you ever do you have that attitude at your job no not at all so what makes journalists special and they're not special they're the opposite of special they have no scruples we have it in the mark too because. people. you know what they like to and where you they like. to win. but that's not what journalism supposed to pay and what's true but never believe the media's. if you're just going to keep getting worse probably do you think journalism like that is bound to spread around the world and become as rampant as it is in britain i do unfortunately and it
2:11 am
really isn't journalism i mean there is no logical reason that you gar reach the bottom line is that if the rampant popularity of tabloid journalism in the u.k. is any indication the rest of the world should be. pared for their own journalism to get a lot dirtier. united states have more than thirty other countries now recognize the libyan rebels as being in charge declaring colonel gadhafi regime illegitimate the alliance of nations working on the crisis announced it would deal with the opposition until an interim authority is in place the recognition by the contact group gives the rebels access to get off its assets frozen by the us but many east peace acts productive franklin lamb told us that nato is just running out of options unable to oust of the leader. of a lot of questions about who these different factions who are arguably now fighting
2:12 am
among themselves for power in the in the east what will ultimately be their relationship with the americans who have a long history you know of judging their allies and getting themselves involved but i think all of this is because nato cannot accept or afford a defeat nor can the white house so they're using me to stumble conference to mock some eyes mock some eyes pressure all of the qaddafi government. special floating cranes have arrived at the side of the volga river tragedy to begin the operation of lifting the bulgaria which sank in minutes last sunday out of the two hundred eight people who were aboard one hundred fourteen have been confirmed dead while fifteen others remain missing. two people have been arrested in connection with the disaster and the head of the company which operated the boat and the inspector who certified it as fit to sail face charges of negligence that led to the deaths arrest warrants have also been issued for the captains of two cargo vessels which

don't work in britain people don't work weekends is changing a little bit now particularly in periods of economic recession. but generally it's a monday to friday as recently as just two years ago india had a six day long week the government has put in strict regulations regarding labor hours but that doesn't stop people from spending more time in the office than needed to save them a significant difference between the kind of work culture in india and in britain is the pressure of people around to work above and beyond their contracted hours. everyone will do this irrespective of really if there's work to be done if there is a small enterprise to run the all state regulations go out of the window if sacrifices equal success then you have to make them and working twenty four seventh's. working at another level off. that it is an office working
2:18 am
because they're all division processed but these things are being organized. because no one. but what may seem a fine example of did occasion may actually be a drawback in the office environment i think people are expected to do the job of two or three people. even though the contract to do those might say one thing which isn't always such a good thing because if you work such long hours it's going to affect your performance while europe and the u.s. spend their money on fighting wars and their time on trying to figure out a way to get out of economic slump india is busy getting things done the indian way the gun issue is probably the most popular god in the entire hindu pantheon in india he is supposed to bring prosperity and success to those who worship him but the success of indian businessmen should not be a trip to the divine help alone ninety five working hours just don't cut it here indians put in hours of hard labor but at the end all of that hard work pays off in
