8:09 am
a man ten miles away in north london it's purely up it's purely opportunistic it's not anger at all i think it's pure criminality and people are taking advantage of what they see is a lawless situation and overstretched police force to do their worst and help themselves to free goods in italy as it spreads very quickly this kind of thing we've seen it in fact in the arab world we've seen it social media spreading unrest in the arab world probably for the good there but here it's spreading exactly the same way arguably for the band and there are lots of kids on blackberries 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 perhaps even more. well we want to know what you think on our website we're asking what's driving force
8:10 am

8:12 am
the latest countries to join this euro storm now economists warn that the united states has a common problem with the eurozone they both have unsustainable was no real plan b. and as our correspondent alex a euro shift reports new countries are being put off from joining the euro. while parts of europe have been teetering on the edge of economic abyss poland has remained stable in the storm along with this currency this multi there is a widespread belief in the country that being outside the euro has helped keep poland well out of trouble. 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 problems it's almost guaranteed that prices would go up if we join the eurozone which would damage my business recent opinion polls suggest that more than sixty percent of balls want to keep their own currency a dramatic turnaround from just a few years back
8:13 am
a few years ago the euro was seen as the euro club scene or something very exclusive polls aspired to this they wanted a country that. 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 tried to bring. home. could be political suicide poland has fared much better than many of its e.u. partners in the global crisis several countries like greece ireland and portugal are on the brink of disaster partly due to a boring binge allowed by your membership and associated low interest rates being outside the euro zone meant it could not join the party but now it does not have the hangover poland was meant to have the euro by next year the time when the country is co-hosting the twenty twelve european football championship but with the latest developments these. plans may be shelved for another four years you rule say

8:17 am
since the two thousand and eight financial crisis all three major u.s. stock indexes plummeted between five and seven percent on monday now all of this 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 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 lack 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

u.s. treasury bills after the initial panic his has outlasted i think investors realize that emerging markets like india have strong fundamentals they have strong structural reasons going into the future such as a positive demographic trend high savings in investment rates the medium term growth outlook for india looks robust it's in the eight point two to eight point five percentage range and the strongest indicator for four of the g.d.p. ratios strong income growth something that the european union doesn't have and that's something that bodes well for the indian economy there are other things as well if there is a recession in the world as is being talked about that's going to reduce the price of oil in the imports a lot of oil so that's going to reduce its import bill there are other factors if there's an expected degree in the value of the dollar in other words of the dollar weakens and if india's rupee therefore strengthens views of you the dollar it's important it will go down as well the risk is somehow whether india can finance its current account deficit because of the general climate or risk aversion in the
