escalating the violence is escalating is a reflection of the wrong approach taken by certain states a unilateral approach the keep saying keep sending messages to the people of syria that you people see you are right it is of syria are wrong and this is their own the proof because they're tired of messages. introduces an illusion that the people of syria can get. freedom democracy was freer by using violence against the ruling authorities and not by negotiating not by maintaining the political process it's not just about. throwing stones against policemen or. guards this is about using heavy

nation reaction from investors has been lukewarm at best i think given by a growing fear that the euro crisis has already gone too far to be contained and the feeling among many creditors is that the single currency bloc is now headed for recession slipping in recent and even the strongest euro zone nations are bordering on stagnation slowdown has been attributed to the e.u.'s austerity strategy of savage cuts and tax hikes which are suppressed growth one thing is that there are too many opposing interests in brussels printing a credible solution being adopted. by the economies of the euro zone are failing their growth is non-existent in many cases big economies are going backwards they're in a debt spiral and their lack of economic growth is not helping at the core of their problems is the euro and problems caused by the single currency and there's serious economic difficulties which are just not being cured while these countries were
12:18 am
mainly within the e.u. single currency the euro the the answer to their problems really is to cut loose the countries that are struggling economically because of the euro bonds being one of them especially but the main focus is of course italy and greece and then those countries can start to grow again and then we can have economic growth back in europe we can have hope for you at citizens and jobs can be created and the debt can then be dealt with the european union with so many different vested interests isn't acting nearly as fast enough and the solutions that they're coming up with aren't actually in the interests of their citizens because the institutions of the you aren't accountable to the citizens of those countries. coming up in the program next cars are and stacy herbert way up china's zero tolerance approach to financial fraud was improvised but the recent death penalty for a family accused of cheating investors of a billion dollars it's just one of the themes of the microscope and today's kinds of reports that's coming your way of some thirty games you see but it's pretty
