those hands this monday in order to reenergize this movement they're planning to block major ports on the west coast by marching on u.s. ports from california to alaska protesters look to call attention to economic inequalities in the country and a financial system they complain is unfairly tilted towards the wealthy the police reaction that we've seen so far has been a rest of. your gas cap was for a that kind of thing that something that was on the surface something that we could see on t.v. but apparently police. used other methods to deal with the protesters it's been revealed that undercover police officers infiltrated argue by tent city last month to find out how the protesters plans to resist then eviction and also to spy on people and this one is interesting suspected of stockpiling human weights by the way police firing on people as acquired new dimensions in the u.s.

a common economic territory each we probably contribute former but i don't consider that a particularly. what we're learning from the european union is the main problem is going to be currency. and. international lenders and inspectors are in greece today to thrash out a new one hundred thirty billion euro bailout with the government and there's an air of special urgency as shaken europe rats freshly held by a diplomatic failure at their brussels summit grow desperate to avert a looming meltdown and as our work is going off now reports it's all just feeding the flames under. it's not easy running a business even a small one like this german company which produces isolation materials for gas

turbines loans taxes salaries competition it's enough to keep any business man's head busy but many still wonder why rules different when it comes to the big book or in this case the euro. when a business takes a loan and kunze paid back in and says it's bankruptcy i think a state which keeps accumulating debt has to do the same it's no different from a company in that sense you don't borrow money if you know you can't pay it back but for some reason often this doesn't seem to be the case for the eurozone and let's take greece for example besides billions of euros which have already been allocated to bail it out even leaders have approved yet another tranche the enos to have athens pay off its three hundred sixty billion euro debt preventing it from going under and taking others with it but many fear the tactic will not work its all about physics review no matter how strong a material is like this piece of metal with the right amount of pressure it will

break. and unfortunately for the euro zone the laws of physics are called universal for a reason meanwhile the pressure is rising the latest e.u. summit in brussels showed the economic crisis is creating cracks in the union britain walked out of a deal put forward by germany and france to revise the e.u. treaty and create a fiscal union with a tighter grip on finances but analysts to warn the integration may take too long with some countries facing a possible referendum on the deal to realize these kind of treaty adjustments will take. years because all parliaments have to prove. so that they will not be on time to address this crisis and meanwhile inspectors from the so-called troika which consists of the european commission. the european central bank and the international monetary fund are looking to provide afghans with a new one hundred thirty billion euro bailout i would call it lying circus the

banks who are trying to save the next who would stay put on the line with bad loans to corrupt governments and. waiting and expecting the european taxpayers to pay their bills especially the bonus bills sure christmas is big in europe but bailing out of the euro for the sake of the banks is becoming one expensive present the dozens of protests that have rocked the e.u. this year alone are a clear sign of discontent over austerity and else and it's highly unlikely the new set of handouts for greece will be greeted with anything cheer you got this kind of orgy germany. europe minus the u.k. is now vesting all its hopes on an economic union to dispel the debt troubles but some believe that's really not the miracle cure it's made out to be at a national consultant and author adrian salvucci is among them and has taken

britain's side believing that the loss of sovereignty will prove to be too much for most. in this particular instance i would tend to favor the british position here because britain from the very beginning of them stood and we still understand far better than the european colleagues the importance of national sovereignty and the importance of having a sovereign currency and what europe is now suffering many of the countries especially the smaller ones is a problem of sovereignty we will probably start seeing the euro very soon because of thing that people are realizing that the euro is a little bit like a procrustean bed a bed which is one size must fit all in greek mythology trees had made a bit he said anybody who was shorter than it he would stretch them out breaking bones and soon was until he would fit and if he were taller than his fed he would chop our feet and lives to make sure it would fit so in a way i think it's a greek mythology and i think it really says a very case in point where they are trying to impose

a one size fits all and we have to understand that in the real world one size does not fit all. now let's take a look at some other stories from around the world can a must for military tater has returned to the country he once ruled with an iron grip man was taken straight to prison to serve a twenty year sentence for the murders of two opponents during his rule he was extradited from france to sunday and this is the first time their younger has visited panama since he was ousted in nine hundred eighty nine. is saudi officials say u.s. forces have left a base in the southwest of the country that they were using to service armed drones the last fly carrying personnel and equipment left shamsi base this sunday sabat had ordered the americans out in response to airstrikes last month which accidentally killed twenty four pakistani soldiers. u.s. weapon experts have been helping the libyan army dispose of ordnance left after the revolution most of the weapons destroyed or worse surface to air missiles to use to

how russia is unique why the question and whether or not russia will welcome foreign investment just as have implications for things like the future we don't think so this is a. done deal but it's definitely worth following that's what investors are pricing right now and that's why that adopting a wait and see course our church trying to rush markets. and finally the global sports business is playing well despite the economic uncertainty accounting from promise we're told scoopers expects just for revenues to grow twenty percent in four years to almost one hundred fifty billion dollars most of the growth will be from banks going to ship contracts one hundred winter olympic games in sochi the summer games in rio de janeiro. that's it for me from now i'll be back in less than fifteen minutes time for another business update here on archly.
