the grounding period. that george weston pushed coromandel you can a little closure civility to go. round this is the kernel was neutral as a retreat. of pressure tanks of poor europe hours of economic turmoil as the german and french leaders hope to show people the power is in a chronic over a possible credit rating cuts. all eyes are on the mosque a skies of the world from u.s. aviation achieve a taxi up alongside premier pilots with a stunning show that is max twenty of the. major oil spill off the coast of scotland the energy giant shell in the first government are accused of a slippery steps up to keeping quiet. and india's body bizarre a gruesome all good trade is proving that need is blindside surveys in the poverty
5:01 am
stricken people sacrifice their health to survive. a very warm welcome see this is our seed line from the french and german leaders a juicy meat in paris to have another go at stocking the using debt crisis from spreading all the worry is that it could be in spain maybe next in line to bail wall france is also going to keep its credit score from being downgraded these are no pressure reports from brussels with a magic pill that supposed to spread the euro across the european union is something called euro bonds that in effect could transfer northern european stability to the southern states it would create a single. bomb that people could blow and the suppose it would begin to call them investors. so there is
5:02 am
a united front and the strongest states. in solidarity with the we can southern periphery countries like greece portugal spain and italy now germany for all of these reasons doesn't want to discuss it particularly at the moment it doesn't want to lose its harder reputation as a reliable. signing up to this and it has actually said the euro bond will play no role in the talks today. there's a big surprise because growing numbers the thing that euro bonds is the only way to save the euro and how influential investors like george soros a portugal and greece should leave the euro and eurobonds or the only way out even germany is already being sucked into this crisis its growth the growth of its economy skidded to a halt just north point one percent in the second three months of this year which suggests that the euro cross is even bringing down europe because the economy let's
5:03 am
get some more insight from paris now a political science professor yellin joins me live many thanks for being with us here at our now back in july but this hour cause the chancellor merkel was working out a debt deal ahead of the euro summit but now they're doing it again are these two alone in deciding the fate of the seventeen year as a nation. unconditionally in france and germany considered. they were the leaders in europe but you must also take into account considerations in france for the presidential election basically that german chancellor has already said she was not willing to talk about you're a bunch so the meeting in large part p.r. for the presidential elections in france if you don't discuss you're a sore solidarity within europe it's not a crucial meeting. it's just you know. what all or somebody. right bud if you don't tackle the issue that stiglitz story
5:04 am
and sorrows mentioned solidarity within europe the meeting itself is a bit one puts and merkel said only expect too much from it which means basically will to say and i think this is they are there. a large part of it is p.r. initiated by the french president right a while there you spake there and they about what's happening in france picking at germany now they we had some worrying news there when the economy almost stalled in the second quarter of this year if not a sign that the year resigns or driving forces now seriously under economic threats well i think great now are german authorities but not all german economists resisting what is obvious there needs to be solidarity within the same. monetary union if you don't have a kind of compensating mechanism it cannot work and german history spiritedly pens
5:05 am
of course only to their efficient economic machine but also on the health of its customers and its customers are mostly in europe it's all the customers of german products in europe collapse then germany itself collapse so the idea that you know having euro bonds showing such solidarity would be bad for germany is totally wrong this is what you know people like stiglitz are saying need sound so obvious germany which is very efficient and is now the only real economic and political leader in europe has to become aware that it's christo to in large fire also depends upon the prosperity of others and therefore not helping others the way germany itself was helped by the marshall plan and by the us after the second world war in the end we've had for germany that for the e.u. and stimulus even went so far as to suggest that germany itself should leave the euro. what is this from is not saying that euro bonds would be bad for journo
5:06 am
no no not bad it would be a good idea though would be a good idea so you think there it might go for that because germany has repeatedly been forced across previously announcer red lines to save the money in and now it is under heavy pressure on the assyrian of the zero one so do you think that in well ahead of this well there's a possibility because ray are merkel has a domestic problem to some of her supporters only among conservatives and the so-called liberals don't want her to accept euro bonds but some german bankers are economists are suggesting that germany in germany should accept euro bonds because it's good for germany itself so there's a political problem because that is perception we held the greeks we have the portuguese and we pay for them little easy they don't do anything with pay for them but if you look at the economic situation it's far more complex and yes germany has
5:07 am
shifted in the us and it's not impossible but under the pressure of tax germany would have to change again because i don't think the you know once the euro collapsed and if it doesn't want the euro to collapse then there must be some form of compensation there is something which is incredible you know in the us there's only one currency for all the states whatever the economic results of the states and these results vary from state to state in europe there's one common currency but different budget policies and so on there is something which is chaotic and has existed and on that. door source for example predicting that the sharing of eurozone bonds could damage the financial discipline if you like within the club as whatever woad actually feel the motivation to deal with the debt themselves well actually and they correct what you just said you know yesterday it is in june dish you go and i went back. darcus so you and i actually george soros is thought you
5:08 am
were bought and he says if greece and portugal look you're the eurozone you can go on be there in cordon bleu. in italy cannot but. like so many other basically soros is a capitalist is in favor of europe and he feels their journey should you believe what it's doing it's breaking a large rewards. some sort of financial sort of. reasons but germany is the main player and if something really significant just did happen surely it would have to move i think my parents look around. there many thanks for your thoughts. now later this hour a look at how the debt is fueling a new gold rush across the atlantic and there's no end in sight for the troubles with the u.s. dollar some say it's time to stop the printing press and return the precious metal

i approach. the future flights. largely. to the max. the energy giant shell says the oil spill in the north sea has been drastically reduced but ecologists when it could take twenty years to clean up its after the anglo dutch company was forced to admit that more than two hundred tonnes of crude oil leaked into the north sea it's said to be the worst spill in prettiest waters in more than a decade and began last wednesday but it was only acknowledged by shell two days in a row. adam ramsay from the u.k. based people and planet student organization think shell and the government to help
5:15 am
yes it will industry coverups yes. i think the people who used to dealing with shell wouldn't be surprised at all about the lack of communication it's worth remembering that it was only a few days ago that they admitted after years of lawyers in cover up their role in the enormous spills across nigeria so i think we certainly don't know for sure how bad it is but we do know this is a serious spill we know for certain it is the worst spill in this country in order to do i've seen very little coverage of this at all and i'm saddened to say that i'm not at all surprised little coverage has been of this although as i said it's the biggest in ten years but it's important to remember that u.k. government under scottish government imposed got long histories of being hand in hand and in the pockets of the oil industry in this country and so if your government to the only other potential monitors of this you have to keep it quiet in the shell peculiarly not talking about it it's not surprising that the media been covering it again and again not surprising that very sad as you say

5:18 am
indian government has a law meant to regulate organ donation in this country each recipient was supposed to get an organ from a donor who was in some way known said even though each transplant was supposed to be approved by a committee of doctors it's almost impossible for anyone to stop money transactions from happening under the table in general when a recipient finds out that he or she needs organ to they normally approach friends or family for a match when those options are exhausted rogue doctors or hospital staff can introduce the recipient to a broker usually a former illegal donor too who can scout nearby poor neighborhoods for someone who is willing to see. well there kidney can go under the knife but there are measures in force law like your news from alternate routes of this got it sort of there's a lot. though doctors also go on a blind eye to this happening to transplants from the joiner to the recipient take

the world we did not achieve that and as a result what you're seeing because of the boom bust cycle inflation devaluing the currency you're seeing a move back to the gold standard even though that's not official you see gold increasing in value you see individuals sovereign nations and central banks purchasing gold as a way to hedge against the dollar with the dollar as the world's reserve currency there has to be some sort of consistency to its value day to day it can't be worth less tomorrow than it is today otherwise the means of which we measure goods and services is subject to the whims of the federal reserve of the u.s. and i think the world is is skeptical of that so whether we have a gold standard or not if governments don't figure out how to spend or live within their means you're going to continue to see gold take the lion's share of the increase or the appreciation and you're going to see the our currency is like the dollar decline in value. well america's worries have already angered the largest
