9:05 am
present value what the private bondholders will do even though you amount of value reduction of you come to a value reduction of around twenty percent in europe we don't have a political union and we don't we certainly don't have flexible labor markets so from the beginning. there were huge weaknesses in the whole construct of the monetary union in europe and my big surprise is that there's the last ten years before through this kind of crisis these weaknesses came to the surface. i mean time on the other side of the ocean american politicians are still linger over how to raise the country's debt ceiling republicans and democrats argue secretary of state hillary clinton has been trying to calm nervous asian investors that they will meet next week's that line but economic analyst and martin henniker says it's already too late. it's essentially bankrupt in any case if they increase their debt
9:06 am
ceiling actually yes the chinese rating agency dugong has been saying even if they find an agreement any increase the debt ceiling is going to be as a result more debt so if the u.s. has thirteen point five trillion there and that's the nomination and there but it's not even the fiscal gap including all the unfunded liabilities the united states government actually keeps of the books and if you include this figure we a looking at two hundred trillion us dollar of it's absolutely beyond control and all timidly piers that the united states will be facing a sovereign debt crisis very much along the lines of the so-called. periphery there's a bit also the other european sort of supposedly stronger countries of the expect a major major sovereign debt crisis from the major western countries suggest their investor should stay out of that region and look for a look for girl sort of a commodity is. protect against what's going on there's
9:07 am
a lot of talk always in the rest of are the dangers of china china's military growing and how much of a risk this poses throughout asia and the rest of the go but if you're looking at how much the united states is spending on military there's a strain or it's totally disproportionate the u.s. is spending a lot more the only difference is the u.s. is doing that was borrowed money and they can't afford it so you have to end. i know there's more on where the money is going it was a few minutes here on r.t. germany the do it gets once again this time it's bankrolling libyan rebels with millions of euros to look at what it wants in return. for the lethal fix from the pharmacy party reports on the russian addicts painfully killing themselves with a drugstore cocktail because it's cheaper than heroin. the king of norway has deeply moving a minute of silence for the ninety three victims killed in friday's twin attacks the scandinavian country has been shaken by the bombing of government buildings in

oslo and the massacre at island youth camp tragedy has also touched the royal family the crown princess of norway's step brother was one of the first victims gunned down at the camp values admitted both of properties is appearing in a close quarter and so explain his actions thirty two year old because they're already said the killings were gruesome but necessary investigative journalist attorney government believes there's a new kind of terrorism on the rise. anders breivik thought he was some kind of teutonic knights from medieval times because he's echoing the kind of crusader attitude that it's a very strange version of christianity that he. is he says he's a christian i don't think he is he says maybe the same kind of strange version of christianity that bush and blair has been coming out with over the last ten years or so so i think that this is actually the tip of an iceberg is actually quite a lot of this neo nazi activity out there and now i think the antiterrorist
9:09 am
authorities right across the world are going to have to take this brand of terrorism much more seriously and particularly worrying is that he was a freemason and as brave it as declared that he was a freemason i would imagine that the norwegian police are now going to be talking to other all the other members of any masonic lodges that he was in because this seems to be the place where this kind of. christian rather nasty racist ideology was cooked up i would also add that it was interesting the police said they never come across him before the norwegian police but i wonder very much i wonder if the secret service in norway has been watching him because it was very strange that when he was first arrested on friday the police actually called out his name to him now it was very i would be amazed if they would have actually known as they first approached him what his name was i would have thought that from the arrest point that's where the investigation would have started from. well and as part of it claimed that he wanted a change in society referring to the country's large muslim population but social
9:10 am
expose i think the tragedy might now force norwegians to reconsider their immigration policies. i think we just did it it really highlighted the integrated i don't want to call it a problem i want to call it you know immigration reality huge influx of immigrants coming into norway and you're probably you know most violent most mcgraw regions probably didn't do that was twenty five percent immigrant who are friday they do a lot more statistics now i think you're going to the you know people thing go gosh this guy was critically wounded today but we have another pretty serious problem choose the prime minister you know specifically in the labor party generally did a great job you know comforting the nation those twenty four hours were happy they were you know terrifying he did a great job comforting the nation here's the issue we people very worried or would believe are pretty good have to do in norway is you know they didn't extend concern
9:11 am
to people who are nervous about the immigrant population you know a whole lot of the more extreme groups you know these two extreme views in that makes that add up and their own platform and facebook you know this average jokey boder we understand you're concerned about this issue but we think norway had a great interaction here is why so instead of be energy and you know governing through fear and they have to drop some of those you know who are going to jingoistic policies but also presents you know a more positive way go forward so public policy or export market if that's what. chicago. germany is lending and libyan rebels are hundred million euros despite staying out of nato as bombing campaign against the i think regime says the loan is for quote civilian and humanitarian purposes the germans abstained from a u.n. vote on military intervention in march but chancellor angela merkel has since expressed hope that the nato mission succeeds well in the meantime recognizes the

transitional national council as libya's legitimate government the loan comes as the rebels await access to billions of dollars of assets that are frozen in offshore banks german government consultant christophe hostile things berlin has a vested interest in cashing in on the way. it is really a big question of what this money is being used for first of all who controlled split then next has nato ever cared for the civilian population in libya i don't think so a group of countries bombing libya and using really a weapons then of course is a group of countries not caring for the civilian population abstaining just being neutral in this case of course was that enough because nato is youth the security resolution is a free hand to do just anything they want in effect they are fighting on the side of the rebels they're fighting the libyan government nobody knows when nato will decide to you know protect some civil populations and then kill the legal
9:13 am
