debt crisis i suppose you're a european economist thomas take this and he said if france struggles too much future bailouts won't happen. transco is the same way as we've seen other countries in europe in that case it's the end of the line for the european bailout experiment which should be clear cause that france is not bankrupt fundamentally in any way that's similar to greece but if markets decide to cut them off from funds then even healthy governments control costs and i guess this is the risk that we are faced with here you need to buy the necessary time to get the voters and the populations of europe on pause the only way you can do that is in fact in their plan check that you will be prying whatever it takes to keep french italian and spanish yields from rising in the same way as they did increase if you're not willing to back up with cable so like that then i guess there's no solution in sight because the financial crisis was an opportunity for others who have money in short supply companies in the west taking operations in dollars to the cheap east is pretty straight looks at

1:09 pm
to have a good balance that's not a bar being focused on one market having a good balance and obviously you know when merging markets like india china and asia are such. as for us globally. and carrier isn't alone according to the u.s. department of commerce the same number of jobs that have been cut from the united states in the last decade have been added to these companies overseas operations it's a phenomenon that angers many americans who are struggling to make ends meet i think it's despicable disgusting and we have people here that have worked here all of their lives in a losing jobs left and right because somebody on top wants a make a buck and pay the cheapest possible there are more dollars to go to a student if you can i mean. i think are american companies should hire american workers. because of the shrinking middle class and the fact that middle class wages are decreasing over the last thirty years so many people you don't. do to me

some unilateral moves in order to change the reality on the ground to change the reality as it was as it is under un resolution security council resolution twelve forty four always through a session is through probably in other words the serbs or down in kosovo still believe themselves to be part of serbia and they're acting in that capacity now the western states and mostly nato states that have recognised course we are treating them as a minority on the other hand states that have not recognized of course or independence are not treating serves as a minority but are seeing them as having equal rights as all of the citizens of serbia but we must remember that the key to the situation in kosovo was really in nato hands they control militarily the entire province so really whatever happens down there is under their control and it's something that they
1:13 pm
will tolerate or not tolerate and we must also remember what happened yesterday with the burning of the border checkpoint we still don't know who actually did it these were masked men he really could have been any nationality we don't know whether they were serb albanian or french or even american we just still don't know that. a suicide attack on a government compound in southern afghanistan is left at least nineteen dead and over thirty five injured it follows a string of attacks on the killing of president karzai rather and it comes as the u.s. withdraws its forces former cia teligent software michael show a total say that the violence in afghanistan will only escalate and we're watching a charade downfall here in afghanistan the afghan army the afghan police national police force are never going to be able to control the country not just because there have been trained sufficiently but also because they're divided tribal we when we are gone when nato leaves they'll go back to their tribes and no fight each
1:14 pm
other again and so the whole the whole house of cards will come down after the united states and its allies complete their their withdrawal a withdrawal in defeat really ultimately what we have the after ten years of effort in afghanistan is a body count but that's all we don't have any measure of progress against the enemy the kind of hard story the hard fact is that we went there with one mission which was to destroy the taliban and to destroy al qaeda and quite frankly we haven't killed enough of the enemy and their supporters to make any difference we instead tried to build a western democracy in a country that's conservatively islamic and deeply. and so we've failed to do that and the situation is going to remain violent and probably. detrimental certainly very detrimental to pakistan as long as we stay there as long as the ally and stays in afghanistan who was the intelligence officer michael should talk to us
1:15 pm
but he was indeed part of a long running effort to eliminate some of bin ladin and he shares his experience of fighting international terrorism on our website also talking to r.t. don't call me bolivia's president fighting against being framed. try charging us with illegal activities with drug smuggling or terrorism for instance so ultimately destroy us that's their plan and i believe they were always our allies why he feels the threat from the us right now also. counting kremlin posters appear across moscow with president medvedev portrayed as super hero captain america check out the authorities reaction to the comic book make over the top home exclusively from .

belarus are celebrating this holiday and today thursday is the final day of the celebrations of course this is a very important for the history of russia that the country adopted orthodox christianity but that choice may well have been different and of the beautiful mona she which you can see may have easily been and more so because back then in the year nine hundred eighty eight delegates from all religions came over to key of two of the priests to offer their religion historians are still finding proper explanation why did not even choose orthodox christianity some even joked that just choice because the orthodox christianity in fact allowed people to drink wine well maybe this is a joke this is being debated by historians nevertheless this was a historical decision and believes all across the post office space are celebrating this day. artie's eye catching video reports lined up few online or you tube

1:23 pm
been successfully extinguished however campaigners say underreporting the extent of the problem both around moscow and across the country. after this edition is way the words by the bureaucrats instead of rick and sweetly spend all their time consuming the information about fires and does make it more difficult to get away with time. campaigners say part of the problem is that the forests are being mistreated they say more needs to be done to prevent fires by better management with summer at its peak remnants of campfires all across the forest and it's by the band introduced a month ago and there's only so much montes can do when i was driving into the forest that ingenious for very much time. there is a huge placard at the entrance the record breaking heat of summer two thousand and ten resulted in devastating forest fires. it killed sixty two people destroyed one hundred ninety nine towns and reduced thirty two hundred houses to actions. the
