a very bad recession you are blind to the country spending to increase taxes then throwing some money at it is not the solution greece is now effectively in default because if you calculate on the net present value what the private. given you amount to value reduction or four 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 last ten years before through this kind of crisis these weaknesses to the surface. along the other side of the ocean american politicians are still toppling over how to raise the country's debt ceiling a while republicans and democrats argue secretary of state hillary clinton has been trying to calm a nervous asian investors that they will meet next week's start line but economic

2:07 pm
investor should stay out of that region and look for a look for gold through our commodities to help for protect against what's going to come there's a lot of problems in the rest of god the dangers of. military growing and how much of a risk this poses throughout asia and the rest of the go if you're looking at how much the united states is spending on military there's a strain our it's totally this portion of the u.s. is spending a lot more the only difference is the u.s. is doing that there's more money and they can't afford it so you have to end saul. oh there's so much more to come on the program including the cost of war as nato forces in the piano sound cost more civil war injuries we asked how much longer the alliance can justify its needs as afghan anchor grows. and the lethal fix from the pharmacy r.t. reports of the russian alex painfully killing themselves but the drug store is part because it's cheaper than heroin. thousands of norwegians

2:09 pm
now is very i would be if they would have actually known as they first approached him what he's name was i would have thought that from the arrest point that's where the investigation would have started from this guy obviously needs to go down if that's what the jury finds and let's make sure that he's not free to roam the streets because what concerns me is some of the right wing terrorists we've had in europe over the last thirty forty years really still are this is from the operation gladio and other similar operations by nato still are walking the streets about was investigative journalist tony glassing talking to us there. now five afghan their children have been injured in an attack by a british apache helicopter they were working in a field in helmand province on saturday where you could forces were prosecuting an insurgent on a motorcycle nearby now almost fifteen hundred civilians have been killed this year which is already the deadliest since the invasion started in two thousand and one
2:10 pm
peace activist lindsey german told me earlier that the alliances actions prove that war is not working. i think it will just convince more people in afghanistan that the war isn't helping them but it is actually killing and injuring more and more people so it isn't working isn't going to work when you have a war where the risk of growing insurgency will plea all sorts of people who are victims of this and children are obviously one of the worst of the casualties the only solution to this is the war isn't working it has there is absolutely no justification for nato forces to be there they should withdraw the troops this is now coming up to the tenth anniversary of the war and there is absolutely no question that this war is not getting better it is getting worse it is almost certain that whatever settlement eventually comes in afghanistan it will involve

the taliban in some capacity nearly everybody now recognizes this so what is the point of continuing this war the point of continuing this war is because the americans and the british and their allies cannot admit defeat in the second country after what happened in iraq that is why they're there they're there in order to prop up a government that they have no real confidence when they are there in order to save their own faces they are there to protect their interests they're not there to protect the ordinary afghans and we've seen this again this week. and that was lindsey german from the start the war coalition. now the last serbian a fugitive lot of by the u.n. a war crimes tribunal has appeared in court goran hadzic faces fourteen charges including crimes against humanity during the balkan us war in the one nine hundred ninety s. well serbian officials hope that his arrest will clear the way to e.u. membership this hour for reports many serbs remain skeptical as to whether it's
2:12 pm
worth joining at all. they tried deal has indicted one hundred sixty one people most of days have been serbs and there's been a fair amount of criticism for certainly from the public opinion here he'd hate tribunals starting with political and not necessarily legal interest there's also strong public opinion here it will do the government very much looks to the west that people have really didn't feel anymore like joining the e.u. is necessarily going to be in their school their country's interest they only have to look to greece to italy to spain to see that joining the e.u. membership is not the answer to the country's problems in fact in many cases it could quite potentially bring many more and yet is something that we still see the serbian government really pushing for now a lot of people saying that really. the holding to brussels wishes they were supported by brussels when this government was put in place because the
2:13 pm
parliamentary elections next year and elections the year after that they certainly they're going to be using the arrests and the certainly going to be using the candidacy for the e.u. if that ends up happening as a reason for the public to vote for them that remain a number of obstacles in the way nonetheless one of those of course is possible now we know a lot of the member states will be pushing to serbia to acknowledge cause this independence as they have here within serbia that is extremely unpopular with the public opinion and we've had to do that for any government to come out and make that agreement would be political suicide all the other johnson who's written extensively on the balkans war says the hague court was set up to bring only one side can trust. tribunal that is isn't being set up mainly to back the natal groups and out of the yugoslav crisis as being the responsibility of
