already by going he is being now and he waited till the markets were closed to show you how to read it while he was barry's the beach could make the market with them cause them to go out without sharply they believed there would be a market arrival he built a thing at the moment and tried to reassure people over its leaves for their problems is that even tempered called the mafia he added i have been able to deal with your field strength and i recently went through them so that was trapped at the show they were capable of going through another crisis and that they saw it he added you want to save a life and reduce it's really big and he didn't call for a payout of that sympathy here across of the many next steps although the crisis talks today that were held between italy and euro zone find that she showed those human the yield of the tiny and bull has reached record levels in europe history even in
12:03 pm
a war as well and they have the proper sewage method to get them to pursue the sewin bread and the anything above pick a bed is because of a novel and a sleep over at the expense of the moment fame is a lost cause crime is that the cerro that have counselled it call a day and return back with christ in madrid and italy national day of course it's much bigger than its g.d.p. it could make a product which calls for one eva of the troubles of people here and say here in italy the economy is just too big to play oh another would be much bigger than the greek island of corsica could again up in fact the third big bust of germany and france in the euro zone and it will be even if it does once a bailout italy is just because both of you. got your greece's second rescue package less than two weeks ago and while that failed to give investors enough reassurance what more is being done to limit the damage. well you're right it's really good policy very savage spending cuts the austerity measures and when the
12:04 pm
intelligence they've been willing to accept it that's the trouble with greece as well and people are calling it a national strike me as trying to reassure and say that so the situation is all right both you know the markets are really good ones who decide that we've heard one of the world's biggest lenders but we can buy that slashing its exposure to italian government bit as one of the some of the concerts not just greece i wouldn't want to call it a really business say we don't have confidence in your ability to slash your unsustainable it's level and could be you know you're honest if they say i'll fix this we will continue on the. rest of showing closer credit really and the interesting thing is that it's really here it's again twenty three verging on its way out because greece went down they went to a zero zero to kill a great investment and the treasury is currently over twenty of asia trying to get
12:05 pm
those bonds growing economies some boy italian forms now a huge you know world grocer has described the market as of course but the concern this now ok daniel thanks very much indeed for that daniel bushell live there in the process well for more on the way italy's economy may be heading when i'll talk to the kind of economics journalist daniel knowles he's from the u.k. he's online the telegraph thanks very much indeed daniel for joining us well as we just heard still there but it's going to be hasn't asked for a bailout so far but italian bond yields of surge what about six percent now that's just a bit lower than the levels that sent greece to alison ireland and portugal very close so how imminent do you think is a rescue package for italy now. well it's looking a lot more imminent than it ever did it's quite complex i mean it's really is not quite like greece it's not people don't necessarily think that it's really isn't so
12:06 pm
. that's the interest rates that have been used it's only could be expected to repay its debts i want to happen it's it's it's relatively thin trade i think and. this sort of paranoia sets in and they're pushing these bubbles up with it and that means a great amount of debt the city has to service. yes it would need some sort of bailout well that's what's worrying is now here you can see something that's what's worrying is the size of italy's debt it's really quite significant when you compare it to the only debt ridden country so could actually afford to bail it out . well that is that is the issue i don't think that the i think you know even if you as a whole possibly could i don't think politically that would be possible in terms of the german taxpayer the germans happily so you look at the sort of average german in the street and lots. they weren't keen on bailing out greece and certainly not
12:07 pm
doing anything of bailing out. so i think you know it's going to be i don't think that angela merkel's coalitions with the political capability to do that so talking to you actually more likely sorry i don't just talk talking of germany i must mention this article you just written here on the on the on line that you telegraph your saying that germany could actually or should leave the euro in order to solve this crisis i mean that but what impact would that have on the eurozone and indeed the e.u. that's a bit of a drastic measure. but it's pretty drastic i think the problem is in the long run it's just impossible to have an economy like it's a limb economy like germany and the same monetary system it's a vice and it's a wall creates inflation in germany so. it's very difficult for countries that if that system leaves to leave there's no sort of good system about to happen but over it would take several years i think but actually it's possible it would be possible
12:08 pm
for germany to leave the euro potentially in a way that would destroy everything in quite the sense that it's only leaving the euro. there's something to be said for that right you know it's an interesting point now italy's finances they may be very shaky of course but the political situation that doesn't really inspire much confidence either does it but how does it actually got itself in this financial mess why is in so much debt. the. it's having government has had it's really sorry the country has had ten years at least of just incredibly slow growth sort of you know with the rest of europe was going through the heart is that it's it was sort of barely managing the sadness it's got it's very hard just to finish high unemployment also totally spent a huge amount of money for example understand italian politicians themselves plenty of cells twice the amount of the european average joe they've been spending. has these very very deeply ingrained sort of structural problems that goes because the
12:09 pm
low growth because it has such low growth rates hasn't had the growth you know tax revenues it hasn't had a growth in. receipts and all the while the sort of bets kept going because it hasn't happened. so it's a reason tragically political economical thought all the way through all right. danielle i'm sorry we are out of time we're going to lose our link soon to london so thanks so much for sharing your thoughts and comments journalist daniel and also in the u.k. is online telegraph thanks a lot and apologies for the sound quality there at times thank you daniel. well across the ocean though the world's largest economy has been rescued from the brink of collapse barack obama signed a bill to raise america's foreign limit with just ten hours to spare before the country was due to default after months of political wrangling democrats and republicans hammered out a last minute compromise which finally cleared both houses of congress however the deal to increase the u.s. debt ceiling by almost two and a half trillion dollars is viewed as less than perfect by both parties many
12:10 pm
republicans push for less government spending while democrats want to keep social programs and have the richest americans pay more in tax despite the last ditch agreement credit giant moody's has slapped the u.s. with a negative economic forecast last standard and poor's could still downgrade its triple a rating in its artistic catarina good job reports many say that the u.s. is used to dishing out a virus to others but maybe less accustomed to helping itself. congress has now approved a compromise to reduce the deficit and avert a default that would have devastated our car the u.s. just had to swallow this bitter pill that many students it will how the patients recovery but will instead prove to be a poisoned chalice our economy is not growing at all in fact unemployment remains very high foreclosures remain very high no recovery is taking place and are we on a suicide mission we may be gesturing you know the kind of deal with there at the
12:11 pm
same time make it impossible for the government to play any role to save the economy economy is going down rapidly. some point shortly after the collapse of the soviet union russia became an american laborde tree for nearly broke economic theories but can americans take their own advice now to deal with their own economic crisis. live within your means the same advice they gave us without knowing our economic and social realities in. the to the russian guy how did russia central bank in the immediate post soviet period the year he took up the job in one thousand nine hundred ninety two so the worst poor figure inflation in russia's history the us is sarky into nantes of the communist economy was in collapse but there was nothing to replace it with. so the situation was disastrous for you
12:12 pm
did was over a hundred billion dollars in gold in foreign currency reserves well listen fifty million which effectively means nil bork even so reform is something than governments remember how in america's advice so-called shock therapy was applied to the markets might have got the therapy but the people got the shock and to shelves and must prove it was in as one politician said for you to you from a mortgage to a communist economy it is easier it's like trying to turn your into fish soup but you do the opposite is much harder it's like trying to revive the dead fish it took more than russia a decade to revive it's a quarry and return to economic growth transforming to countries full chance after the disaster of the nine hundred ninety s. but where do you are now the patients in dire need it could onyx. see the marks and they thought it was good enough soviet russia or america if they didn't argue of

ambassador to the united nations vitaly churkin has said that the resolution dealing with libya he believes was dealt with very frivolous lee and the security council can't help but keep that in mind when contemplating what the security council can and cannot do when it comes to the situation in syria we're concerned about the wild sometimes collusion of the country and we think that under these circumstances the security council could and should the positive signal in favor of political accommodation and ending the violence some of the positions. in terms of one side which is detrimental to the objective picture. of the russian delegation shared by some other members of the security council to do everything possible in order to. pull away from the brink of
