1:08 pm
a lot of the policies include entering are actually dictated to him by the banks and he's lost touch with ordinary people there's also a crisis of metropolitan police that supports the even seen as a very well respected leader the metropolitan police had to resign recently and there seems to be a like a rudderless ship the police around so we're also confronted with this whole generation of young people and they've all been betrayed they all feel angry so there's a simmering anger under the surface but this killing of mark duggan last week clearly was the spark so this seems to me is a message that this particular killing lost last thursday is not going to go unanswered and it was also absolutely disgusting the police metropolitan police which is what i'm talking about the crisis of leadership their response to that killing because basically just ignoring the families police to have some explanation we've also heard now that there was lies told on the day to the press about who had fired the first shot so this is a very irresponsible behavior by the police and i think we need to see
1:09 pm

1:11 pm
directions what i'm hearing and what i'm seeing because i live here in the u.s. is that the economy is not faring well at all there are fourteen million americans out at least unemployed according to the department of labor an additional six point six million that want to job but have become so just courage from looking and not finding one that they just put their hands up in the air and quit in addition to that wages are very lean right now there's a lot of job insecurity gas prices are going up the confidence is low and part of this debt deal that we saw play out in washington a lot of federal funding for social programs are being cut stamp programs post offices are closing down a lot of services that that every day people rely on are now being slashed there's a hesitation on spending money and as you know this is a consumer driven economy here in the united states it's so all of this is systemic
1:12 pm
it's it's connect. it and there's a lot of uncertainty in security and i can tell you for a street in anger is increasing among everyday folks that are doing their jobs paying their taxes and seeing that there's no security and they don't know what will happen tomorrow so who knows what will happen next but by no means do they literally of people in the united states think that the economy is faring well for them now it is reported in new york not business because of course keeping an eye on all the latest developments on the world markets focusing as well overly on what's happening in russia is of course to dimitry either so the u.s. markets seem to be recovering as we've been reporting is that continuing tonight well it is right now for the moment dow jones is up one point six percent two point three the up more than three percent but it may be a bit fragile because we're waiting for ben bernanke speech results to come out and about an hour of the meeting is taking place right now so if we don't hear any

1:14 pm
a straightforward as a matter of fact what the e.c.b. is doing here i think is well perhaps to do it quite strictly is a breach of trust they encourage behavior so that some countries can free ride on the expense of others and this is something which in the long run rather threatens the euro area than strengthen it. we should be aware if you look at it yeah it spreads and government bonds. are now almost back. to the pretty euro levels and i would say this is something which shouldn't amaze us to watch and it shows that in the whole mean time that is in the time from the success of the euro and nothing very much has changed if we enter a direction at least encouraging more and more selfish behavior by individual countries i would say this is a real threat for the whole euro area. has joined forces to save their common

exclusive polls aspired to that they wanted the country to join the euro now the name of the euro has been sullied by the troubles in greece and italy polls 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 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 your membership and associated low interest rates being outside the eurozone members pulled could not join the party but now it does not have a hangover poland was meant to have the euro by next year the time when the country is co-hosting the twenty two well european football championship but with the latest developments these plans may be shelved for another four years e.u.
