of the most prosperous economies of the baltic region reality their homeland. is the poorest country and after spending a year being part of the euro zone these people say the positive changes they were promised are nowhere to be seen recently euro commission check their pensions are authorities told they received an average pension of six hundred this is far from reality pensions in greece which fifteen hundred we hear get around two hundred. still only adopted the euro last january but despite a general positive attitude towards the move until now it is mostly big businesses and politicians that are really enjoying the transition there are clearly some political advantage in terms of if you want locking in more firmly into the you know we could prompt you to say as well in terms of investment the support for the euro is holding up very well. people seem to be to see the advantages you may be

politically economically with the euro what gumption party soon brought a painful hangover since september a story has agreed to take part in the european financial stability facility the body created to combat financial crisis and the bailout countries like greece and now experts say this membership comes at a price and can not afford to pay. for us. because we need to. or. from our g.d.p. rich countries something more than nine percent. poor. country we need to pay off march richer countries the country central bank has even warned of a possible recession recent polls suggest up to sixty percent of historians are against their country's membership of the. government however doesn't seem to. and

refuses to drop out of this relief fund meanwhile members of this community say they would rather help greece with potatoes and four who would then see their pension money heading their adopting the euro soon or later was a necessary condition for a stone you to join the european union but being part of the european financial stability facility was not in the agreement and while economists are speculating whether stone you should continue its membership in this organization ordinary people are left to wonder why they have to pay someone else's debts. see reporting from tallinn in a store. or relations between e.u. member states to tierra writing as fast as their economies the most notable example of the exchanges between france and britain which are being getting progressively more diplomatic and that's one of the themes being discussed in today's kaiser report with max. but if you french the british so french finance minister

and really this childlike behavior going on as the last resort when all else fails you throw mud pies that eats out there on the playground right it's a roast beef versus the frogs going on of course any sane person would rather be french and british just look at a recent study that came out about facebook users seventy five percent of british facebook users feature photos of themselves drunk. ok that should tell you something about that country all the policy makers are drunk mervyn king is mostly in the bag all the people who are trying to do business over there in the city of london are for the most part in a brief. while we are about seven minutes away from the business news here on r.t. but for now police in denver dispersed dozens of demonstrators who had set fire to their shelters following attempts to evict them it comes off the protesters
