to avert the worst case scenario in third largest economy a vote in the senate as expected on friday approval by both houses of parliament will finally and the era of so liberals county who promise to resign as soon as new laws are passed but as our reports manny and italy doubt the new government will bring it relief to the struggling country. the italian brand has always seemed to be going strong. business. in fashion it's a country that economy. recently and its economy stagnating has now become the latest country to be dragged into the center of the eurozone crisis. italy has a strong economy and could have. been sorry better than it is now

italy could now face a similar fate these countries having to seek a legit seat belts despite being one of the year isn't largest economy we're not greece we're not greece because we have a lot of savings we are not greece because we have been very prudent in this recession we haven't done big deficits in this recession might not be greece but with a man that soaring borrowing costs just how did italy end up in this situation right now nobody's spending nobody's spending in all or all of europe consumers are not spending they are saving they're scared to death of what's going to happen meeting you is in tomorrow's to be. tough for form's been a large part of was made with beating growth in the country so you difficult hopes are now pinned on a new government being able to bring about positive change we have had too many years of leadership that was not credible outside and very divisive inside i don't think it's only an italian problem i mean there's quiet. for saying that mr

berlusconi was not able to deliver what he promised i think there might be a transfer or somebody else will do. it but that's not going to be enough. we need support from europe otherwise everybody on its own and that's the scariest part with the situation in italy right now the u.a.e. think its biggest challenge yet it's unclear whether they like details of a peaceful and culturally united europe by the failure to adapt and find leadership at this point and they could be in ruins. and greece is already welcoming a new prime minister of the four a vice president of the european central bank. will be sworn in on friday and bring spain and days of political wrangling in athens as main parties struggle to come to an agreement the new coalition government will have to vote for more austerity measures to release another portion of bailout otherwise greece warrens it will go

bankrupt within roots political analyst peter iyer believes the true nature of the deepening crisis is being hidden from public view. i think we have to turn the clock back to the original collapse of the economy because this was no accident it was a very well planned exercise by the new world order who have the ability to close down any company or any country at will and as we know ireland became a victim portugal and greece and apparently spain and italy are likely to follow it really doesn't matter who's in power there are people that are controlling this situation the banks are involved you sometimes get unsecured loans and of course the politicians themselves remember that they can take out any country financially or militarily but they want to take out this is a master plan of what i call the new world order their priorities to secure all

the world's natural resources their second is to control the markets for those resources and thirdly to control the gateways to the sea lanes and the pipeline routes when you have control of this you've basically got the world in the palm of your hand whoever controls the finances of the world controls the world and this is what we're looking at here. well the debt crisis is apparently here to stay world leaders have agreed they need to work faster to save the global economy so r.t. spoke to the director general of the world trade organization post column e. he says russia's long awaited membership in w t o will help the revival well the economy is not in good shape but one of the ways to exit this situation which i recognize and we discussed that the last week in the g twenty in he's not good one of the ways to move out of this crisis is to open more trade fight against
