plummeted on news that economic growth across the e.u. has stalled all this france and germany meet to work out a way to end the debt crisis sweeping the euro zone but europe's two financial powerhouses are at a dead end even before the negotiations have started early and is refusing to throw in even more money at the crisis has done it will reports from brussels. the magic pill that's supposed to spread the euro across the european union is something called euro bonds that in effect would transfer northern european stability to the states it would create a single. people could fall into the suppose it would begin to calm investors to show that there is a united front and the strongest states also lead and in solidarity with the we can solve them periphery countries like greece portugal spain and italy now germany for reasons doesn't want to discuss it particularly at the moment it doesn't want to lose its hold the reputation as
11:07 am
a reliable. signing up to this and it has actually said the euro bonds will play no role in the talks today some investors a bit surprised because growing numbers are saying that is the only way to save the euro now influential investors like george soros say portugal and greece should leave the euro and eurobonds or the only way out now even germany is already being sucked into this crisis its growth the growth of its economy skidded to a halt just one percent in the second three months of this year which suggests that the euro debt crisis is even bringing down the economy. how to turn your question right there where the world markets are hanging on the outcome of the meeting between france and germany but some have doubts over its significance international consultant and former m.p. of the belgian parliament load of the newest believes the meeting will be used by sarkozy and merkel only to boost personal ratings. and went to london biggest
11:08 am
economies of the european monetary union get together that is of course always meaningful if only on up psychological level he's meeting stand to draw the line should be a euro zone countries at a loss in general so whatever it is said there is no basically taken under any other countries and this specific meeting i don't really know what it is about i mean i think it is a little bit domestic problems they're not going after the ones that caused the crisis they're not going after the ones that has the money that s. they lost in this crisis i mean why not talk about the raising taxes under those people why not talking about whipping social demands and these bailouts philip and merkel and sarkozy are facing huge problems with their approach the clarity in the in the pulse so i think it's also new with the image of building us or not so much return finding a real solution. meantime the european central bank has announced it's
11:09 am
unprecedented twenty two billion euros in just one week and money went to copy help the economy as of italy and spain because i think they're going to go to school reports public faith and the ailing euro may already be beyond a quick fix. some work to live others live to work hockey market combines the two today he and his nephew run the picture frame shop set up by hawkins grandfather almost a century but the family firm is in a rough spot. like all in spain my business has been struggling although it's not visible in all areas of business times have been very hard. consider this unemployment at more than twenty percent one of the highest in the eurozone again should sovereign debt ever cross their bonds and the country's problems don't stop there despite being the fourth largest economy in europe spain is definitely feeling the bite of the credit crisis and that many asking the question is the
11:10 am
result such a great idea after all the answer may just be no the country's rating has been downgraded twice in september of last year with moody's agency threatening to do so again in the future in fact some in spain believe the best strategy in the current climate may be an exit one knows the idea that this would give us a certain autonomy it would affect positively internal processes in the country purchasing power would give citizens access to all sorts of benefits and would have been good for the wages it very well could lead to the improvement of situation in spain. a key factor here is distance while the spanish struggle with debt and unemployment their fate has largely been decided by europe's paymasters in chief in brussels. what we're witnessing here majoring channel problems which you cannot solve. this is outside of the e.u.
11:11 am
competence they have neither the finances nor the labor capabilities to help spain of course many people are unhappy with the place painted from the european union. but hook him isn't losing hope that his country and his business will eventually climb out of the slump. of course it will stabilize in the end is the small business is like mine that will do the job since he did this three or four people take were close to heart in large corporations something which me only be possible if spain quits the floundering federation of the ears own and put its own house back in order even because courtsey. and a lot of us are on our to look at how the economic misfortunes of the us trying investor trust in the world's top economy so forcing us vice president showed you all a confidence boosting trip to china some say america's troubles are simply too big to ignore plus. markets in the u.s. at the opening for more after more evidence pointed to
11:12 am
a slowing global economy and the latest economic growth figures from germany are particularly disappointing they show the eurozone biggest economy virtually stalled in the second quarter growing just point one percent. the two thousand and four tsunami in south asia took everything from many of the victims that lived along the coast of india recovering has been next to impossible and some have resorted to selling the only thing they have left their own body parts are to produce written reports. cala a room again is alone in her tiny empty apartment in china i like many indians who struggle to make ends meet kala is constantly in debt despite selling pretty much everything she has including her own kidney i wouldn't mind that but no it was when i went to group her he told me that i could sell my kidney i agreed because i was in a bad situation and my children were small we did not even have any food to eat when the two thousand and four tsunami hit the coast of south asia kala was one of
11:13 am
hundreds of thousands of people who lost everything in order to get back on her feet she got a log that she was later unable to repay. and we had a lot of get i had to borrow money to buy the fishing boat people i borrowed money from started asking me for money they said they will come home and there's us if we didn't repay the money just for it and vulnerable tsunami survivors soon became the perfect targets for the illegal organ trade in india it's become known as the red market every year one hundred thousand indians need organ replacements a demand that drives an illegal supply with some organs even being sold to a small percentage of desperate transplant tourists and ninety ninety four of the indian government hatched a law meant to regulate organ donation in this country the first that it was supposed to get an organ from a donor who was in some way known. even though each transplant was supposed to be
11:14 am
approved by 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 an organ donor they normally approach friends or family for a match when those options are exhausted roca doctors or hospital staff can introduce the recipient to a broker usually a former illegal donor to who can scout nearby poor neighborhoods for someone who is well. to sell their kidney and go under the night but they are necessary for thought i could live for them old say part of it is that there's a lot. of doctors are also there on a blind eye to this happening to transplants from the donor to the recipient take place in the hospital simultaneously to the owner ends up making a little over a thousand dollars while the brokers can profit almost double that. you know i went
11:15 am
to the broker he said he will give me fifty thousand rupees for my kidney it was supposed to be much more but the broker cheated us to donors all so frequently are robbed of their health before i used to run around and work a lot but now i can do as much work as they used to i find it difficult even to think to put what i can go to work i have severe pain in my abdomen and my tryst i don't like and while horror stories of the red market are exchanged among locals those with no options left are forced to take extreme measures sacrificing their health just to stay alive preassure either party china india. and a quarter past the hour here in the russian capital let's check out some other world news now and staying with india hundreds of protesters have been arrested there are they gathered in new delhi to demand the release of a prominent anti corruption activist chanting slogans and even blocking some roads police detained seventy three year old right before he started being an illegal

11:17 am
providing information of. you with r.t. live from moscow the largest holder of u.s. debt is getting frustrated over washington's financial situation so vice president joe biden is heading to china on a mission of reassurance but poor. investment advisor in hong kong says washington's troubles that too big first asian partner not to worry about. china is extremely skeptical they must be very worried if i was the biggest holder of u.s.
11:18 am
treasuries i'd be worried too because the u.s. is in a terrible situation their budget deficit is piling out of control it's almost eight percent of g.d.p. the federal debt is now about ninety six percent of g.d.p. and politicians in washington don't have anywhere to get their house in order all they know is to prolong the problem to push the can down the road and as long as that is the case we are going to see severe pressure on the u.s. dollar the economy is in asia generally speaking are in a lot healthier state bank they are in the us or in europe and when mr bernanke prints money this is the value of the u.s. dollar devalues the dollar and next commodity prices go up and that causes inflationary headaches in asia. now the majority of americans think it's time to lift the fifty year old embargo against cuba but the government doesn't appear to be listening to music hailing a fourth because the powerful and the cash for a lobby doesn't want to see her. cuba ninety miles from america's
11:19 am
shores and for fifty two years a world apart following the cuban revolution in one thousand fifty nine the u.s. imposed an embargo on all trade investment and travel in attempt to bring down the communist government of fidel castro. some of the cubans who fled the island for the u.s. pushed to keep this agenda alive and so the intake castro lobby was born they give a lot of money you know u.s. elections are in fact privately financed so they've been able to figure out how to play the games even though they're a small percentage of the population they play very big in a key swing state polls consistently show that two thirds of americans favor ending the embargo and normalizing relations with cuba and some in congress agree it's about time we talk to cuba instead stop for any reason wars in about thirty or forty years or castro groups have given more than one point seven million dollars in donations to federal candidates from two thousand and four to two thousand and
11:20 am
ten more than half a million dollars in two thousand and ten alone to both republicans and democrats ensuring us cuba policy remains virtually unchanged. but. that it will enhance the effectiveness of the embargo the united states will keep the embargo. period than one percent of americans are of cuban origin and the journey emigrated before the end of the cold war and like the rest of the spanish population in the u.s. fifty eight percent of cubans are u.s. citizens cubans who arrive and step foot beaches in south florida are on their way to citizenship haitians who arrive and set foot on the beaches of miami are on their way to a detention center in deportation cuban americans are also a force to be reckoned with in congress we definitely are the most over represented community in congress with two senators and four representatives we say so. that's you know me we're including the chairman of the house foreign affairs committee and
11:21 am
we've got over us the and i welcome the. or tyranny of having anyone assassinate fidel castro and any leader who is oppressing oppressing the people they have powerful political action committees behind them like the u.s. cuba democracy pac the number one campaign donor in two thousand and six with more than five hundred thousand dollars our community is very focused and it's very concentrated in florida in new jersey therefore we really have to make an effort to get out there and create the relationships to live in a socially and agenda that has been known to change many politicians minds including president barack obama. you know obama changed his mind while campaigning before the cuban american national foundation. going to war but while the majority of americans favor ending the sanctions against cuba even protesting in the streets i think. we have yet to match the strength of the anti castro lobby given ford r.t. washington d.c.
11:22 am
. twenty one minutes past the hour here in moscow kareen associate with the business but for now i do international olympic committee has been check in construction for the sochi two thousand and fourteen games by the team including the head of the i.o.c. says good progress is being made in the preparation and it's the last went to see for himself. this is the mountain cluster of building big projects nine hundred meters above sea level as you can see the buz here are fantastic and this is exactly what a visitor some athletes will see during the two thousand and fourteen winter games but by then of course everything you see here will be covered in snow for the games . the sporting facilities are truly taking shape with construction moving into the final few laps you will see a stadium for fifteen thousand visitors to ski trampolines and also immediate village which will house over two and a have thousands of journalists will show sochi sportsbook tackler to the world members of the i.o.c. visited these housing facilities during their short working visit and they say that
11:23 am
this part of the olympic park is very important because it will leave a lasting legacy even after two thousand and fourteen what's happening here is absolutely tremendous we've never seen something like this family's going to be joining through it. to repeat this to mission results and. oh responsibility me i will cease to develop school with the world this is exactly what's going on you know i'm not sure which we should look at it or do it to twenty four. but this is just the beginning. because you guys here which talks really have to get next year here in the style in sochi will see nineteen world class sporting events giving the venues that the road dry run before the facilities will be useful or primary purpose. right now and talk the business news that correct.
11:24 am
oh and welcome to business here in our thanks for joining me after three days of gains the markets have once again turned south content has been hit by weak economic data from germany growth of the eurozone second biggest economy was virtually stagnant in the second quarter and this has raised further fears that the global economy is once again sliding down the slippery slope of recession now joining me now to discuss what's happening is years luckless ali from deutsche bank thanks for this lot for coming to the program so what's the recent. what we're seeing the recent rally in the markets is it can bounce in your opinion i don't think so i think there are reasons to believe that the markets can muster an upward. trajectory in the coming days a lot of course will depend on the data flow from the u.s. and europe in the coming days but if we get
11:25 am
a week of sustained gains in global markets and in russia i think that should provide ground for further sustainable growth in equities and what is your view on the second trip to recession well i think. the threat of that is rising as long as this volatility in the markets continues because if this volatility continues for too long we can have a situation whereby just like and two thousand and eight this volatility under some certainty will start to penetrate into the real sector of the economy through slower growth and investment through lower consumer confidence. so i think that if we do see swift action from the u.s. from the e.u. in trying to. bring confidence to financial markets that still can for. a double dip recession and more precisely about what happened in two thousand
11:26 am
and eight you're just talking about that do you think the world is in a better or worse situation compared to the crisis in two thousand and eight yeah i think there are different sides to this on the one hand corporate balance sheets are better now than they were in the run up to the first wave of the crisis on the other hand the sovereign balance sheets in the developed world are worse you have tremendous budget deficits in the u.s. some of the countries of the eurozone and it will take time for that to be sorted out so on balance i would say it's probably somewhat more difficult now to deal with the crisis because essentially for the countries involved the fiscal channel of dealing with the crisis is essentially restricted to activate now we're seeing what's happening in europe at the moment and they're trying to decide to you know to do something with the present situation how do you think how go how vulnerable is russia because the last time we saw russia you know we experienced
11:27 am
a slowdown in major slowdown and i think during this period of volatility is still vulnerable because fundamentally the source of this vulnerability is russia's dependency on the oil price and if oil prices again klein if they decline significantly this is of course a blow to russia's macro economy including to russia's budget including to russia's balance of payments on the ruble so a lot depends on the dynamics of the oil price in terms of how this will volatility translates into russia's macroeconomic situation the higher oil prices the better for russia obviously yes ok thank you your thoughts on joining the program and let's take a look at the markets now u.s. stocks retreat at the opening up to disappointing growth in germany by train losses after a federal reserve report showed in die. true production gained in july by the most this year off point nine percent energy stocks down together with with other shares
