the news today violence flared up. these are the images the world has been seeing from the streets of canada. giant corporations rule the day. now one of the most painful episodes in the history of ukraine is being used by a bank in the u.s. for commercial gain it's offering customers the chance to go shopping with a famine seemed credit card i was here to ask you reports on what's being seen in the ukraine as a moral outrage. almost a decades on ukraine still mourns those who died in the 1930's famine in the u.s.s.r. known here as the whole of the more and it's a rare example where political forces more used to in fighting put aside their differences to unite in common cause now the ukrainian diaspora in the united states is joining in remembrance in a rather peculiar fashion to the application for the whole of the modern credit

card. will be able to allow the south occasion. any one of our branches the catastrophic nine hundred thirty two nine hundred thirty three famine claimed at least three million lives in ukraine alone with several more million perishing across what is now central russia and kazakstan some one key of insist it was an act of genocide directed against ukrainians most school says it was caused by criminal agricultural policies of stalin's government but those behind the credit card project claim they're driven by remembrance motives only putting all the story debates aside here was another good mechanism to have all of them or a mammal thanks to the political elite and civil organizations it is well known in ukraine. besides there are only a few living witnesses left and there already are. however it's not only about the intangible one percent of each purchase made with a whole the more card will be allocated to

a special charity fund ukraine's main monuments commemorating the 1930's famine was built in two thousand and eight amid recession and millions of us dollars were used from the state budget people behind the hole the more credit card project say that the money they raise may be used to build more monuments and memorials this apparently benign initiative however was met with an avalanche of criticism in ukraine and that's not only because there are practically no survivors left who could be helped with the money raised this political analyst says buying groceries with the. an inspired card is a blasphemy if the idea is completely immoral it's an attempt to popularize the great tragedy and use it for commercial needs i can only think of a proven tragedy the holocaust but the jews are not putting that on a credit card in fact such an attempt was made by a us company in two thousand and nine the blue card but it had no direct reference to the holocaust and it's not so popular across the atlantic where the whole of the

more card will be more successful can be seen when it hits the market in late december just in time for christmas shopping. see reporting from kiev in ukraine ukraine as part of a commonwealth of states created when the soviet union disintegrated into day's edition of crosstalk peter loyals guest discuss how the bloggers are becoming a growing economic force here's a quick preview of what's coming up at eleven thirty am g.m.t. . the russian can offer an immediate benefit subsidized energy that's extremely important to using the energy as a political weapon i think we've got over the years that that's part of creating 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.

now the national lenders and inspectors are in greece today to thrash out a new one hundred thirty billion euro bailout what the government and there's an air of special urgency as shaken bureaucrats freshly humbled by diplomatic failure at their brussels summit grow desperate to avert a looming meltdown as artie's europe is going off reports it's all just feeding the flames under your. 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 buck or in this case the euro. when a business takes a loan and kunze paid back it announces its 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 paid back but for some reason often this doesn't seem to be the case for the eurozone so 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 aim is to hurt athens pay off it's to be hundred sixty billion euro debt preventing it from going under and taking others with it but many fear the tactic will not work it's 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 we 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 meanwhile inspectors from the so-called troika which consists of. 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 the lying circus the banks who are trying to save their necks who would stay put on the line with bad loans to corrupt governments and. waiting and expecting 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 any festive cheer of germany. europe minus the u.k. is now vesting all its hopes on an economic union to dispel the death troubles but some believe that's really not the miracle cure it's made out to be at a national consultant and author adrian somebody is among them and has taken britain 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 idly still 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 our stories had made a bit he said everybody who was short of it he would stretch them out breaking bones ensues until he would fit and if you 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 but they could really this is 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 take a look at some other stories from around the world in paris former military dictator has returned to the country he once ruled with an iron grip many are very young i was taken straight to prison to serve a twenty year sentence for the murders of two opponents during his rule he was

why he thinks the two sides are failing to talk here's a preview of what's ahead next hour. it's not difficult to go to negotiations it's impossible as long as it is allowed to continue to supplement with the deal of the government is the government we have there would be no negotiations it's not just an opinion it's the shift that i among the israeli public with the creation of the new settlement book is that it is killing the very last opportunity of two states which means they could never dream of something called their view state that is the price that israel is paying. and i'll be back with the headlines just a few hours before that though we'll take a look at what's happening in the world of business with jojo.
