9:13 am
especially with the banks in southern europe and i think this needs to be addressed but overall we also have this kind of political situation which has been very convenient for governments to increase debt levels to avoid bringing tough measures to their constituencies and i think this is something that has to end markets have indicated that they are not willing anymore to finance these large debt levels my fear is that we see some short term improvement in the share prices i think overall we will see a continued. overall i think these measures will not have a long lasting effect france also has a debt problem the overall debt level is very high and now that the u.s. government debt has been downgraded here's obvious fear of who will be next in the game and we've seen the problems with spain in italy recently and i think it's quite natural that the markets at this stage are concerned about france as well so i think that the french government is under some strong pressure to act requires
9:14 am
some political will to implement these changes and i think bed is the big if so if france is able to convince the market that it will implement these tough measures then i think we could see some civilization in the markets. for the seemingly endless and global recession has sent investors looking for safer bets with their money and it's gold that's emotional as the most popular commodity its value has almost doubled in the last two years and precious metal prices have broken all records just this week by steven wright he's asia business editor says gold short supply means it will always hold its value. it's definitely a saw i know of fear and panic and then sigh as he markets gyrating baldly people want to take money away from risky yes it's like stocks and gold is a natural haven for for investors money to do that the amount of gold that is being up to two since humans started taking out of the ground is actually less than the
9:15 am
amount of steel that the world produces every day so gold has a rarity value and people see this is holding its value in times of financial. market volatility they see it as as a relatively stable and safe investment. and because it's in such short supply when demand explodes for those commodity of course the price starts to skyrocket. this fierce scene in recent days. five fifteen pm here in moscow you with r t russia's anti terror committee say they've killed the chief of a major terrorist cell in the southern republican caucus started he was among six militants confirmed dead in the security raid in the region's capital. but. he's believed to have been behind the first terrorist attacks on police officers in pakistan is also thought to have helped train a suicide bomber who blew himself up at
