periphery countries like greece portugal spain italy now germany for good reasons doesn't want to discuss it but take me at the moment it doesn't want to lose its whole of the reputation as a reliable. by signing up to this some investors a bit surprised because growing numbers the thing that is the only way to save the euro now influential investors like george soros a political in greece should leave the euro and eurobonds all the only way out now even germany is the already being sucked into this crisis it's the group of its economy. just one percent in the second three months of this year which suggests that the euro crisis is even bringing down because the economy. where we can get more insight from paris chief economist texas asset management investor joins me live there thank you very much indeed mr weston for being with us now after i get america has refused to talk about euro bonds today in this meeting
12:03 pm
there's a fear that nothing significant will come out all of today's meeting between the chair isn't now though the time to do something surely these leaders could afford to waste any time. but i come here and some sort of well what do we expect for today's meeting the way we have to wait for the come for a press conference either framework even if we don't have any where you are bones announcement we need a framework in which we can build those are europe institutions that could be inside europe and some credit that's what we expect and probably they will gain some bricks in the new beauty trying to keep you know all europe on the outside that will that end up going to be discussing it today is that the way forward you think. give me all your own problems the old sarah. all right sorry about this we got
12:04 pm
a problem with the communication can you hear me let's just try it out again while they were discussing euro bonds that they could that be the way forward the solution for the crisis at the moment but it's a it could be you know europe on could be a start of this and clearly because we need for the way to. disentangle the dead tissue countries shoes we have to give an institution that could. directly could do a euro bones that could. give somebody you knew they were creating you with market for euro bones in fact way it would be easier to to manage europe and death. try to to avoid being dependent on the specific country as we are today so we have to queue think about the whole governance euro area now and that's what we expect from the from today's miti giving some new breakthrough to give the new the new
12:05 pm
institutional institutional environment for that it was expected they said it was also you were above said that new institution and garment should that be run by politicians or economists. but it has to be wolf you know we have to build a pretty cool environment for your role and that we know that. it's money weakness for you roy correctly we need more political. power for for europe and the other thing time we need some control on the economy situation we need probably a kind of calm field that could. think about the budget things in different countries and in europe to to avoid this dive of jones we saw in two thousand and eight nine or ten in europe so it has to be
12:06 pm
a real economy economy confusion but the political things to you know to be able to manage europe and give a more power to europe and go kind of europe on government so if you're talking about a centralized fiscal control system whereby each member state is controlled centrally by let's say germany i'm going away they tax and the way that they spend could that control indeed come from germany currently the leading economy although obviously we're not still today but where should that centralized power be coming from brussels in germany. but that's that's right it's complicated of the moment is to know how how it could be a good thing in europe because we see with the meeting today it's it's a meeting between the america but i think time we don't have anything about european commission so it's a it's a very comforting framework to be open because we see that countries are asked to
12:07 pm
create an institution that. could create the kind of problems was very key from this country france germany to a european institution and that's what that's why it's going to keep it but the things i think we all need. to get covered more than it was a way to think about europe and in such case probably. we have two fronts theropod over i was covering the. entire case germany we know how we know really is the chief we have to share things because we know it's not thirteen on the if we all go together in the same way you can have their stuff thank you so much i'm sorry about the some problems that but at least wanted not to get a compensation together thank you so much indeed chief economist and not texas asset management joining us live in paris thank you ok.

12:09 pm
that many ask the question is the 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. this would give us a certain autonomy it would affect positively internal processes in the country purchasing power will 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 a dent in unemployment their fate is largely being decided by the masters in chief in brussels. with what we're witnessing here major internal problems which you

12:17 pm
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 dust spirit transplant tourists in one thousand nine hundred four the indian government how the 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 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 rogue doctors or hospital staff can introduce the recipient to a broker usually a former illegal donor two who can scout nearby poor neighborhoods for someone who
12:18 pm
is willing to sell their kidney and go under the knife. through. roots of this. thought a blind eye. to transplants from the donor to the recipient take place in the hospital simultaneously the donor ends up making a little over a thousand dollars while the brokers can profit almost double the. no i went to the group grew he said he will give me fifty thousand rupees for my kidney it was supposed to be much more but the broker cheated us the donors also frequently are robbed of their health by day for 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 leave that part of what i can go to work i have severe pain in my abdomen and my chest. and while horror stories of the right 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. the majority of americans now think it's time to lift the fifty year old embargo against cuba but the government doesn't appear to be listening and as aussies can inform that's because the purple castro lobby doesn't want to see it go. cuba ninety miles from america's shores and for fifty two years a world apart oh and the cuban revolution in one thousand fifty nine the u.s. imposed an embargo and all trade investment in travel and attempt to bring down the communist government official castro. some of the cubans who fled the island for the u.s. push to keep this agenda alive and so the insight castro lobby was born they give a lot of money you know u.s. elections are in fact privately financed so they'd be able to figure out how to play the game so even though there are a small percentage of the population they play very big in
12:20 pm
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 and still stop fighting these wars in about thirty or forty years old and by 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 ten more than half a million dollars in two thousand and ten alone to both republicans and democrats and sharing u.s. cuba policy remains virtually unchanged. with military equipment and that it will enhance the effectiveness of the embargo the united states will keep the embargo. fewer than one percent of americans are of cuban origin and their journey emigrated before the end of the cold war unlike 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

12:22 pm
you know obama changed his mind while campaigning before the cuban american national foundation. but while the majority of americans favor ending this ancient against cuba even protesting in the streets i think. we have yet to match the strength of the anti castro lobby killing ford r. t. washington d.c. . but i thought that you and some other world headlines this hour and staying within the story we want to play this hour in france a formal investigation has been opened into international monetary fund chief christine lagarde relates to allegations from when she was process finance minister when she approved a huge payment to a friend of president nicolas sarkozy the guard denies any misconduct and there's no suggestion she profited personally her attorney believes the investigation won't affect her role as i.m.f. chief. and government tanks and seeds of the syrian port city of latakia forcing thousands of palestinian refugees from their four days of shelling has claimed at least thirty lives and troops have been making house to house arrest officials have
