7:07 am
instant messaging and twitter and all the rest of it spreading the word about where the next rock is going to be and they might be able to move faster than the police i think perhaps i mean if this carries on like this it is quite worrying to seem to be breaking out in four or five different parts of london. share your opinion on the u.k. riots by participating in our latest poll you can log on to our website r t v dot com to contribute to today's topic we're asking what's the driving force behind the u.k. riots so far the most popular response is the display over economy over a quarter of you say it's the failure of multiculturalism and some of you think that criminals hungry for profit and heavy handed policing are to blame. well from trouble on the streets to trading turmoil as the european stock markets plummet on tuesday after a break falls overnight in the u.s. and a volatile day of trading in asia this comes as the european central bank breaks into

7:09 am
is doing is only bringing defaults closer is forcing e.u. states to slash spending less money going in to create jobs and build things when really the only way out of this crisis is for the countries themselves to grow out of it with their economies which means putting more and spending more on the economy and creating new jobs now barack obama has consulted with the heads of spain and italy which are the latest countries to join this euro storm now economist warned that the united states has a common problem with the eurozone they both have unsustainable bets with no real plan b. and as our correspondent alex king reports new countries are being put off from joining the euro and. writing in greece shock waves from the country's economic crisis were felt across the european union shaken international markets worldwide while parts of europe have been teetering on the edge of economic abyss goldman has remained stable in the storm along with this currency. there is
7:10 am
a widespread belief in the country that being outside the euro has helped keep poland out of trouble here. if we were part of the eurozone then we would have been obliged to help countries like greece and portugal happily help out someone else without solving our own programs it's almost guaranteed that the prices would go up but we are still in the euro which would damage my business recent opinion polls suggest that more than sixty percent of spalls want to keep their own currency a dramatic turnaround from just a few years back a few years ago the euro was seen as the euro club was seen as something very exclusive poles aspired to this they wanted their country to join the euro now the name of the euro has been sullied by the troubles in greece and italy poles don't want to be dragged into this crisis if the government forced the euro issue try to bring poland into the euro zone it could be political suicide. poland has fared

7:12 am
the euro zone before. target date. set up the game has changed in the you everyone once wanted to join me now would be the invitation no one wants to accept. let's say we're sure of state party it will do for your soul. to the u.s. now where president obama's speech in which he declared america still an economic powerhouse that's fueled a higher sell off on wall street stocks have hit a new low since two thousand and eight after the u.s. lost its aaa credit rating are just going to porton i has more from new york. market reaction to the historic downgrade of america's credit are short in the worst day on wall street since the two thousand and eight financial crisis all three major u.s. stock indexes plummeted between fall. seven percent on monday now all of this
7:13 am
coming just after standard and poor's. downgraded the u.s. credit kicking america out of the triple a club this is already creating a climate of uncertainty or increasing this climate of uncertainty and lack of confidence among investors when they look to the stability of the u.s. economy now the u.s. president barack obama of course tried to inject some optimism into the public and into the markets on monday saying that america has been and always will be our aaa economy he says that washington's problem is not a lot of policy or plans but a lot of lack of political will and he says many lawmakers have been insistent on drawing lines in the sand and now it is urgent for all parties to come together to come up with a long term approach on how to reduce the deficit in the u.s. the u.s.
7:14 am
debt of fourteen point three trillion dollars and growing and at this point many investors as we saw on monday are selling now and asking questions later clearly the markets have not been reacting favor favorably to the fact that standard and poor's did downgrade america's credit for the first time ever in history. asian stocks have gained ground onto steep drops earlier in the day amid fears the u.s. is heading for recession and india is claiming it's ready to implement fast track reforms to encourage domestic consumption in order to overcome the economic struggles. has the latest on the financial situation in asia from new delhi. asian markets have been tumbling in reaction to the latest news of the us and p. downgrading of the u.s. economy but actually many politicians and many analysts in india think that this country will only be affected in the short term by what's happening in that they're
7:15 am
actually better equipped than many western countries especially your pm countries to handle what's going on in the united states we have india finance minister pranab mukherjee coming out and saying that this is only going to be really a short term impact analysts are thing that the bric countries will in the long term be last the fact that by what's happening in the united states that actually if investors move if they continue on this risk aversion path and move away from u.s. treasury bonds they might actually feel more comfortable investing in these emerging markets like china and india china has taken a much stronger stance on what's going on they've called the u.s. bait immoral and irresponsible and they're saying a chinese newspaper recently said that the united states really needs to move away from borrowing its way out of its massive india on the other hand has had more of an optimistic response to what's going on than china and they're really hoping that
7:16 am
in film way they might be able to benefit from all of this. economic spread. income growth and the potential slide of commodities prices such as oil or on india's side in the race to make the crisis work in its favor. the medium term growth look for india looks robust it's in the eight point two to eight point five percentage range strongest indicator for for. strong income growth something that the european union doesn't think. that's something that bodes well for the you know because there are other things as well if there's a recession in the world as is being talked about that's going to reduce the price of oil and do imports a lot of words that's going to reduce its import. so there are other factors if there's an expected depreciation devalue the dollar in other words if the gold the weaker it. goes will be there for strengthens the simple as well the risk is. whether india can find out it's going to go deficit because of the general part
7:17 am
of this version that. investors are less willing to invest in emerging markets how does india continue to finance its going to go. well arty's business desk is keeping a close watch on the russian stock markets that have been in a towel spin throughout the day we can join marina standing by at the business desk what is the market sentiment right now well it's pretty much negative we're seeing a lot of volatility in the russian markets there were deep in there at earlier in the day but they seem to be over bet on doing the r.t.s. has come off the eight percent mark and it's not heading more towards the four percent but we'll have all of the latest figures for you in our business but that's shortly. it's a coming up to eighteen minutes past the hour a look at some world news in brief for you the leader of libya's rebel movement have missed his executive committee in response to the killing of the opposition military chief last month members of the national transitional council libya's

7:20 am
political analyst patrick hayes thinks the president is on the verge of stepping down from power. clamping down on freedom of speech and freedom of expression which is the cornerstone of any democracy is not sending out a message to the syrian people that he can be taken seriously trusted in his promise is a true diplomatic consideration is no longer. there clinging on. with even so in a very tired way there is a sense from assad to really be eased by which he started to say this is the end of you know single policy rule and he will start to think about elections and the way in which you previously portrayed. it's himself and his policy is the only guarantee of syrian stability but he's now talking about major constitutional reforms really there's a real uncertainty about what he's trying to do there very isolated they don't
7:21 am
really know where they go into a kind of stuck between a rock and a hard place they don't know what to do but the sense i get from assad is that he seems very toys that he almost willing to relinquish power at the moment but i think there's a reluctance to want to relinquish power because i suspect he is very worried he will meet the same treatments that smirk is now seeing. we have more news on syria on our website r t dot com along with the latest updates videos and blogs here's a taste of what's lined up for you the so-called hacktivists have carried out an attack against the syrian regime by hijacking the country's defense ministry website. and secret tapes of jackie onassis sharing whom she felt was behind her husband's assassination have been unearthed and will soon be released to the public .
