9:04 am
going so and so we have some kind of promos in the market and it kind of unsurety on security of how the national bangs european central bank and also the u.s. fed will react to that market always will react to policy decisions and i think the certainty has come to the market because we have still different voices within the european community i think and this is the basis of the problem. asian markets have closed in the red following a walking trading session. has more from asians third largest economy india all the markets are down here asia is reacting very strongly we're hearing strong words from chinese political leaders as well one chinese newspaper actually said the u.s. government has to realize that the good old days when it used to borrow it way out of math this is over so everyone is watching this very closely india is the third largest economy in asia and asia as the whole actually holds three trillion dollars
9:05 am
to the united states china being the number one u.s. debt holder in japan being number two so they have a huge interest in what's going on over in the united states actually some analysts are thing that is quite in some ways benefit the asian economy because of the risk aversion that's happening so if in fact there is actually looked away from u.s. treasury bonds they might actually want to invest more in certain factories in china but obviously we can't predict exactly what's going to happen yet but it's clearly creating a domino effect across the world and asia is going to continue to watch to see what happens. well exact price is in the u.s. triggered uncertainty despite a default being averted by a last minute deal in congress last week and as reported by reports there's a mood of the u.s. government to spend more money on peace of home and war abroad. relate to.

george carlin always spoke frankly about his nation the only true lasting american value that's left buying games buying things people spend money they don't have on things they don't need today country longer even by borrowing and consuming is in desperate need to cut it spending us defense and security spending has remained untouchable soaking up seven hundred five billion dollars we're twenty percent of federal funds every year since two thousand and one for the one point two trillion dollars have been spent on the wars in iraq and afghanistan right now with fourteen point four trillion in the hole some economists say it's time for the u.s. to compromise a world domination for domestic stability also probably have to see a significant request coming or questioning and downsizing of the several hundred foreign military bases we have given the size of the budget problems and the growing issues around the national that and the debt ceiling it is fairly well assured that the budget will be cut for defense and it probably needs to be cut
9:07 am
more than is presently proposed for the pentagon priorities may be different it department reportedly spent twenty three billion dollars on global hawk drones alone this year taxpayers are estimated to spend one hundred twenty two billion dollars on the war in afghanistan is same amount that could cover an estimated twenty five million americans with low income health care an empire costs a lot of money because you have to spend a lot of money to spend you have to spend a lot of money to promote it you have to have a lot of people working on various aspects of economic support for imperial adventures around the world the consequences of money is leaving the united states going to other places not to the places in the united states that leave the most needing it most is the country's neglected infrastructure and jobs that come with rebuilding according to the american society of civil engineers a quarter of america's. six hundred thousand bridges are listed as deficient and

nearly half of american households don't have access to public transportation ongoing federal budget cuts are expected to force thousands of all-star. fire departments to more than forty million americans on food stamps they also make sacrifices to just cut the food stamp budget by twelve billion dollars we have multiple experimental ongoing programs in the defense department each of which is large enough to offset the food stamp cuts and i think if we have forty one million people already who are dependent on government aid for food getting food to them it's probably a first priority but defense secretary leon panetta is looking further afield for his priorities we are a nation at war. we face a broad and growing range of security threats and challenges. there are military must be prepared to confront from church networks to rogue nations that are making efforts to change a nuclear capability to dealing with
9:09 am
a rising power it's. always look at us to determine whether or not we will in fact mean a strong defense here and throughout the world eyes on the world all citizens face mounting struggles at home rescuers count the fact that americans will probably remain willfully ignorant of the red white and blue. because the owners of this country know the truth it's called the american dream because you have to be asleep to believe that arena court party new york. well it's his business to ask is keeping a close watch on the world markets is monday to me three is standing by how our russian starts responding to the volatility well there was called they responding with a sharp drop actually on the r.t.s. we're seeing a nosedive of more than five percent my sense is not far behind the point seven percent this hour so you see of red all across the board was seeing all blue chips
9:10 am
the least three percent more than that in around fifteen minutes. all right thanks for that more details for me of course thank you said in just a few minutes. burned cars smashed windows and looted shops in london is recovering after a weekend of street riots the unrest while the fatal shooting of a man by police there has seen at least thirty five police officers injured and one hundred sixty people were arrested. in the british capital. obviously it's much less attractive to shops in the daylight and i think that's part of the one of the factors that has brought this situation much more under control this monday morning we are still hearing reports of pockets of already sort of creeps if you. ranging around particularly in the areas of brixton in south london and fields and the surrounding area in the north the what's underway at the moment is
9:11 am

9:12 am
a proxy that quickly circulated around the crowd and we're hearing that that's what sparked this violence that these areas that we're talking about particularly tottenham where this all sparked off it's an area of massive social provocation there's a lot of. the police is relationship with the community and there has been for many many years there's also huge amounts of unemployment and has one of the highest on the youth unemployment. and living off benefits has become a way of life in these people some of them are literally how they live on benefits at the moment they see no time in the future in which they will have a job and be able to better themselves so people do you feel ignored and neglected in these communities. reporting there and she's continuing to keep us informed of all the developments on the streets. our twitter feed and you can follow her underscore column in her latest tweet that readers could move the market westfield

9:21 am
just under ten minutes away here on our to recap of our top stories after business with dimitri. thanks in the saloon welcome to business artsy russian equities deeply in the red at the end of the trading day following losses in asia and europe market watchers say it's choppy a volatile after friday's american downgrade of e.c.b. ends. mention door to me now is not the you cannot be the sales manager the police your financial corp so a lot of good to see you right now yes is down five percent my sex three and a half percent how would you describe the situation. well as the situation is clearing nothing short of a panic we have seen
9:22 am
a somewhat panicky mood in the market last weekend luckily we had pushed out our suggest the s. and p. downgrade over the weekend we seemed quite volatile session this morning expectedly the market opened quite sharply down then recuperated parts part of the losses and closing still lower and especially this is a bull cross the chip universe which is the easiest to get rid of and what we observe it will be observed at the moment just turns a blind to to see is we see hedge fund stranger period of the future needs and little new situations trying to pick up some value plays in the second tier universe in what is a good time to look so interesting a blog you know opportunities ought to stay clear and wait for another day. there is clearly going to be a balance of some sort in this market because all markets are to not move in that the same direction all times the switched directions my personal view would be that it's too early struck about just a serious bargain so even even if we are to do. a little bounce at some point
9:23 am
tomorrow next week it's still too early things still have to get worse when they get better because they're still quite substantial problems on the t.v. p.c.b. problems the. federal reserve which we're looking at tomorrow we're going to stick with it to see whether there's any reaction to the european debt crisis but there is any reaction to the s. and p. downgrade when you change up in two words if you leave me on the table and all that obviously is a risk to the markets suggesting that still a lot of uncertainties talk about a long term rally because so many verses right now have sold as well. do they put them on t.v. or do they look for some kind of safe haven i mean we've seen gold reach one thousand seven hundred dollars. is it too expensive right now. gold to buy old technical means is somewhat oversold at the moment however it can continue being oversold that for the next several months or even quarters to come in this
9:24 am
environment ironically despite the s. and p. downgrade what we have seen is that the safe haven is still the u.s. dollar which is backed by u.s. treasuries in the short term there's no immediate solution to that we've seen the u.s. dollar somewhat just selling off against some political parties however strengthening ironically again ever against emerging markets piracies today and this is going to be the case in the near term we haven't seen any more selling dramatic the magnitude so far in terms of future indicators in the treasuries we don't expect that to happen again and near term the u.s. is no closer to bankruptcy or to default today versus what it was last friday and everyone clearly understands that and there's no selling in treasuries because the s. and p. downgrade just one downgrade out of four nationally recognized rating agencies therefore according to these secular market money money market funds are not forced
9:25 am
to sell based on this a technical downgrade so apart from statements coming like from china to get rid of the goal as a reserve currency its position has such a currency has not really been undermined by this downgrade. exactly how with the big three with that it's just that there's no alternative in the medium term the euro seems to be somewhat. more expensive versus where it should be trading at the moment by logical means however there are other technical indicators that basically would require some time for the finances to just to where they should be trading following the catches it was you supplied so. for the u.s. dollar perhaps in the medium term there should be so much appreciation but in the short term we don't expect any significant sell off the e.c.b. is more at risk at the moment there for the euro currency is more at risk for the moment in our view and to the soul than say of the c.b. has been the question for many investors given the these safety fund the european
9:26 am
union has close to five hundred billion euros against a potential trouble italian debt near two trillion. euros and given that people are about obviously asking for potential lending of last resort which could be the federal reserve there are still the reserve the u.s. treasury says the ultimate seed have been the ultimate final lender and in this mark in this market environment at least a lot of final question for you how you aren't seeing money for as short as long as the market requires and the only downside risk from just printing money is clearly potential inflationary pressure on the market. while the how long do you think it will take before this will settle down. i think we will have to see some positive indicators of. the growth coming out of the united states in a second up here to be confident that we're not in a double dip recession historically the. u.s. g.d.p.
9:27 am
pulling below two percent means we're not out of ten times that the u.s. market will go into recession hopefully this is not the right indicator for us at this point because this has been somewhat of a special situation to get there so clearly you see some indicators of sluggish growth so far in the second quarter and it's sluggish even outside of these walls of you have seen the japanese earthquake and these spikes in the oil price. we just see some hot growth in employment relief to see some reaction from the federal reserve that's what more is there narky statement is quite important. because attention. indication of we have some monetary intervention is here in this environment given that the fiscal intervention is out of the question at the moment calling us debt ceiling resolution whereby the u.s. government pledged not to increase their their their budget pledge to cut their
9:28 am
spending somewhat tend to take their debt under control therefore in this environment when the government stimulus is impossible the monetary system was basically that is the ultimate hope that we have so i guess the potential monetary montrachet end up by the fed and some indicators that growth is still there in the second quarter is going to help the markets or it was great so much all right most of the ground thank you so much we will be looking to that statement by. choose they thank you so much for your comments are you can they get the sales manager to see a financial corporation talking to business of the like. and that's all we have time for just a reminder the r.t.s. is down five and a half percent you might say it's a free and a half percent more on those figures for your next headlines and i still nothing. wealthy british style. time.
