here you go there is no currency like the dow or there is no better market right for the rest of that market and so i don't see that happening i really don't see any drastic change about my take on this is that at once an agreement is reached since in the fields forever we're actually return to normal china will continue buying us that in the united states will continue to shoot us to china now over time in the wrong way i'm going for certainly change the batteries declining but it's not going to happen overnight and i don't think if the court is going to it is going to affect the international currency markets that much what it's going to affect is the average american and in a pretty in a pretty tough when i think. and in europe small countries like the republic of slovakia feel their economies being crushed under the weight of the euro currency crisis with bailouts for eurozone member states needing to be paid for nations that say that you're feeling the pinch as artie's her first reports critics that say the rules have changed your membership failing to live up to its promises. they say that charity starts at home well sort of back here maybe one of the poorest

countries with pressure from the e.u. to participate in the second bailout their money could soon be going to greece it on them i'll tell you what joining the euro zone brought responsibilities but not benefits in fact slovakian pensions a significantly lower than days in greece people here at this hey michel to tell us they barely cover their food costs with the money they receive we have to now. deal with homelessness we have to reform our pension system our health care system this is not never enough money. that back in two thousand and nine when slovakia's during the year is really it was such high hopes it was also kind of prestige or to be the first one among hungary and checked republic polish polish people read about for the one from central europe to be you know in the zero club back the year is saying it seems isn't all it was cracked up to be as we joined

euro zone there was a lisbon treaty that was saying that birds of one country are a liability of just this one country in may two thousand there and the rules changed dramatically days left as of the year a gang may well now be breathing a sigh of relief if that neighboring not only here is saying countries have felt the benefits slave actual police have been heading to their check out in a bid to escape the year a week come just across the border fence the backyard to the czech republic where these people. the outlets doing a been in business more and more people make the regular journey to do their shopping because the prices here is simply much cheaper with people now shopping outside the country vacuous retail revenues have fallen dramatically in the high prices mean the tourism industries have been hit hard certainly not the results hopeful when they first joined but every club has its leaders and what they say

apparently gays even if they're the ones who got you into trouble in the first place you see be created this is the reason that all of the countries in europe on our. homeward journey the greek bonds are as good as german bonds saw. made possible for greed. or so much money back in may be contributing this time it's left many of those at first so eager to join the euro gang feeling they're now simply being pushed around sarah i think that back in . france has been warned by the international monetary fund that it needs more cuts to avoid becoming the next victim of the debt crisis there are math says the country's credit rating could be at risk for starting to take an economic sorter patrick young believes price developed these problems long ago. the problem is look these aren't things that have just happened suddenly i mean the french budget deficit has been in

a deficit the french budget since one thousand nine hundred seventy four i mean these are things that have been going on for thirty or forty years it's absolutely ludicrous untruthfully governments need to stop spending and they need to be very realistic about their budgets and there are fundamental problems going all the way through the euro zone and we don't have any leaders who are willing to give us a sustainable solution this is typical of contagion we've been talking about it for weeks we have you know when you get some degree of illness and it goes through the body ultimately you have to decide when to amputate it and the truth is we should have amputated greece from the euro zone long ago we've got the situation at the moment where provincial libraries in northern germany are being closed because the money isn't there because it's being used to fund people in the mediterranean i think german voters are going to get very angry about that very very soon and i actually think the political will is not there amongst the people to endlessly keep bailing out their saw their neighbors it's going to be

a huge problem because ultimately the contagion is going to hit and i really do believe that after last week's events unfortunately we only enjoyed closer to the idea of a total euro meltdown. still to come on the program dangerous connections libyan rebels on their command killed ourselves it has an edge toys to gadhafi regime called into question. and we take a look at the israeli protests taking inspiration from the arab spring but of worry the netanyahu government. also always presenting the results of its investigation into a presidential plane crash in western russia last year and its president elect christian ski and dozens of the country's political elite were killed in the accident party's chef ski joins us now from. this report which basically publishes the results of the investigation held by the polish side has

been very long anticipated in poland it took almost a year to compile it and it took more than a month to actually translate the report into russian and english country's interior minister has already hinted that the report would be very painful for poland to come to terms with but still this is the result of the polish investigation well after the plane crash on april the ten twenty or twenty ten which killed most of the country's political elite ninety six people including the presidential couple his wife maria when russia started the investigation making it clear that it was the crew of the presidential airplane which is to blame for the tragic plane crash along with the weather conditions along with the poor qualification of the flight crew poland and some parties in the poland nationalist parties including the party of the brother of the former president also kaczynski were accusing moscow of holding back facts and concealing information and stalling the investigation so these parties demanded that war so should hold its very own

investigation at some point of time even prime minister to school is known to be in very warm ties with moscow he was also criticizing russia for the way it was handling the investigation but still we understand that after the investigation by poland started russia was also taking part in assisting the polish investigators providing all the needed documents and now this report is due to put paid to all the speculation as to whether a russian air traffic controllers were to blame for this crash the press conference which announces the results of this investigation this report is happening now as we speak and certainly we'll be bringing you all the details as the press conference comes to an end and we'll be updating our viewers with all the latest information. investigation into the crash took on political overtones becoming a bit of contention between warsaw and moscow but kevin hiatt from the u.s. based flight safety foundation disagrees that first rush investigation is biased

there should not be any politics involved in an accident investigation it should be thorough and forthright and the information given out an order so we can prevent an event like this or another accident from happening sometimes politics do enter into it and usually when you see something of that nature crop up you can spot it in a report that might be trying to do something as far as the cover up but and this particular case from what we had taken a look at the accident report and the data there didn't appear to be anything of that nature they use the flight data recorder and also the cockpit voice recorder which always helps an accident investigation and analysis and by using that information and then what was given to them by the local airport authorities the weather report i think it was a very comprehensive report that was produced it was right on par with something that would be produced in any one of the other nations of the world. more than that

you can log on to a website called you can find out more about the russia that investigation into the polish plane charging oh so few online right now discover what the f.b.i. in the region massacre suspect i think i mean coleman. does the mercury heads for. we see how people throughout the city are dealing with the. arab spring all european style discontent israel is the latest scene of nationwide mass protests thousands of tent cities are appearing across the country starting to take part in rallies to demand that government provide cheap housing and lower the

cost of living the biggest protest yet centered in turn of it is planned for saturday night but it's only the beginning according to. an executive director of the association for civil rights in israel. what we've seen in recent weeks is an unprecedented wave of demonstrations all over the country unprecedented both in its scope so far the protest has been very peaceful very targeted and very energetic and it is only the beginning of a process that is now emerging in israel because one of the most interesting aspects of the protest so far it's been its insistence on saying what is wrong with the current reality but at this stage yet not committing to any specific solutions and it's also gradually evolving into including a larger knowledge of the number of palestinian israelis well much of the spout is in the economy actually concentrated i knew surely it was

a very jewish protest that is changing and that is also an essential critical and again very optimistic and very just development in the practice much of the criticism has been targeted at the point minister netanyahu but not only him and in fairness it should be said that the policies that has brought israel's economy to where it is are not only the policies of this guy in government this government may have pushed it to the extreme but this is the doing of much more than the past two years of economic policies of the d.n.a. that rebels have declared three days of mourning after that military commander and to his aides were killed abdel fattah yunis was gunned down hours after rebel of volunteers had reportedly arrested him and his family suspected times to and gadhafi regime had been libya's foreign minister before he defected to the rebels that lucian the national transitional council blames the killing of gadhafi supporters and claims to have invested the head of the responsible the consequences

of the murder will depend on how deep the commanders and their connections really run that's according to one of the fires adviser to the americans antiterrorism caucus. the consequences of his killing could be either short ramification or vaster mitigations if indeed he was the only an individual or even a high ranking official who had still relationships with with the gadhafi regime then his killing would be it would be the end of the. if it's the other case is that he and others inside the council the interim council of the bin ghazi power have been in opposition to another force a militia force it could be other little two opponents it could be the militia of the jihadist or another tribe if the case is deeper than the concern is more serious in the west that there could be more clashes in the future or more tension is within the military camp at

a time where the rebel seems to be on the offensive so we're going to wait and see the results of the investigations most likely the nato command would want to be part of these investigations. a heavy blast at a coal mine in ukraine's eastern ganske region has killed at least seventeen people explosion thoughts have been caused by guests and overnight almost a thousand meters below the surface twenty eight miners were underground and none of them are still missing ukraine's president is on his way to the side to dissolve it to beat the rescue operation by his name to be one of the most dangerous in the beach killing dozens of minds in the last few decades. nato commander in kosovo says the alliance will keep a large military presence at the border with sabit to quell possible new outbreaks of violence clashes that up to two disputed border crossings about two hundred serbs to fire bombs and satellite customs post was in response to any and by cause

really whatever happens down there is under their control and it's something that they will tolerate or not tolerate and we must. also remember with the burning of the border checkpoint we still don't know who actually did it these were masked men they really could have been any nationality we don't know whether they were serb albanian or french shorey very american we just still don't know that. some of the international headlines now at least six people have been killed in peacekeepers opened fire on al qaida the military since amalia's that issue ballance broke out as african union attempts to supply eight i mean refugees were rampant somalia is is the mists of god starvation relief efforts as a threat to their forty forty two million somalis are receiving food and water in militant controlled areas. u.s. and north korean diplomats met for several hours of new york for the first time
