1:05 am
it got out the policy could lead to increased radicalization. agrees it's true anybody would get radicalized if you hear about the types of torture took place however when the government said that they will hold to account those people who were involved in torture and we take them for the word and if the government goes against that and. we'll have a session we'll have this. session about complicity in torture this inquiry but it's going to be in secret and you won't get to see it and you won't get to see those people involved in your torture then people will lose. any supporting any idea that the government is actually going to try to. carry out justice many fear the inquiry set to begin shortly will be ineffective and that a second one will be necessary at vast expense but there's also concern that creeping revelations about just how complicit the u.k.

and europe's nations are the verge of blurring into one financially at least the germany and france calling for economic harmony across the euro zone growth grinding to a halt and countries are struggling to stay afloat the big players think of the answer is to force mandatory budgets onto the member states but as our europe correspondent daniel bushell explains surrendering its sovereignty is not what people want. the key decision is they have announced a single united eurozone government they also announced a corporation tax to unite the corporation taxes of germany and france so we're moving slowly towards a fiscal union which is what many had predicted but of course there's one small problem which is the people of europe have been lost because the the president of france faces an election next year where he's already trailing behind his rivals
1:13 am
and spacex this may make him even more unpopular because the people of europe you know aspects in polls in opinion polls they say that they don't want the european integration wrangler merkel the chancellor of germany says they showed great courage to do this and they dismissed the use of euro bourne's which many have said would be the solution agreed eventually they said the euro bonds are not a miracle they're not a cure and france and germany won't guarantee other countries did so they refused to bail out the rising problems in countries like italy and spain they also denounce the rumors and speculation and said they'd fight against this group is that they say are trying to bring down the euro tax on financial transactions was also announced angela merkel said the purpose was to harmonize economies and taxes across europe so a very wide range of proposals on offer here well investors have been left mostly

1:15 am
have a balanced budget so the european leaders unfortunately have done it again they haven't really addressed the markets needs a clear concise action for what they are doing instead is looking at the long term political solution to this dilemma that they have a doesn't seem to understand the market seriousness about what's going on no one is asking the cac spares to pay another veil out instead they're using the european central bank as a mechanism to buy the bonds for italy and spain what most europeans don't understand is down the road when the greeks cannot pay their money back it will be the taxpayers from germany and france that will end up paying for these bonds down the road the bad news is that we're not going to see any growth and i think everybody understands that and with their joblessness will not get any better and not anytime soon. iran is welcoming of russia's latest proposal for restarting international talks on terrence disputed nuclear program now under the proposal
