two to one of the already side some city a law which prohibits sitting or lying on public sidewalks of certain hours of the day with the protesters argument is that the first amendment of the us constitution which guarantees freedom of speech has to outwait those city laws and that the city has to let them continue exercising their rights but judging by how accurately police had been cracking down on protesters all across america the first amendment doesn't seem to have outweighed anything this latest police raid in san francisco has effectively cleared the city's last remaining occupy protest camp so under different pretenses authorities have been shutting down those camps throughout the country around five thousand peaceful protesters have been arrested in the last three months many occupiers fear that their message could vanish together with those hands this monday in order to reenergize this movement they are planning to block major ports on the west coast by marching on u.s.

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 a famine inspire. card is a blasphemy if the idea is completely immoral it's an attempt to popularize a 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 or ukraine is part of a commonwealth of states created when the soviet union disintegrated in today's edition of crosstalk guests discuss how the block is becoming a growing economic force now a quick preview of what's coming your way next hour. or she can offer an immediate benefit subsidize the energy that's extremely important to using energy as a political weapon i think we've got over the years and that's part of creating a common economic territory each we probably contributes former but i don't consider that a particularly. we're learning from the european union is the main problem is going
5:15 am
to be currency. cross-talk is in about an hour and fifteen minutes international lenders and e.u. inspectors are in greece today to thrash out a new one hundred thirty billion euro bailout with the government there is an air of special urgency was shaken euro kratz freshly humbled by a diplomatic failure of their brussels summit desperate to avert a looming meltdown and as it is you've got a piece going off reports it's all just feeding the flames under the euro cattle. 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 in one's head busy but mainly still wonder why rules different when it comes to the big book
5:16 am
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 aim is 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
5:17 am
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 leap 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 athens with a new one hundred thirty billion euro bailout i would call it a lying circus the banks who are trying to save their necks who were put
5:18 am
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 billing 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 endless bailouts and it's highly unlikely the new set of handouts for greece will be greeted with anything to cheer of or g. germany. and europe minus the u.k. is now resting all its hope on an economic union to dispel that ongoing debt troubles but i'm a believer that's not the miracle cure it's made out to be international consultant and author adrian 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
5:19 am
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 him out breaking bones and soon was until he would fit and if he were taller than his bed he would chop our feet and lives to make sure it would fit so in a way i think going back to greek mythology that they could release 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 twenty minutes past the hour here in moscow in
