a long road for europe to regain investor confidence while french prime minister of france of your own has promised most everything the country and john locke learned of the institute for democracy and cooperation of currents for the big downgrade could help convoy they find good german allies seeking to lead. the downgrading of france but not of germany obviously means that the franco german axis is no longer a turn of all proposition what we see in the euro is are those that there's only one country calling the shots not two and that's germany there's no doubt that it will strike a terrible blow for sarkozy is only real chance of winning the election was to show himself as a safe pair of hands as the devil you know in a crisis now it's clear that sort of france has both a crisis and the devil look you know i mean it's true that these agencies are not above reproach they've made a lot of mistakes in the past and good goodness knows the financial services industry including the ratings agencies is far from perfect but i think that

european leaders are being completely paranoid when they blame the ratings agencies for. there are problems any fool can see that there is a massive debt problem in europe the fact is there's been a lull in the crisis but that was really to do with the christmas and new year holidays they have assessed the situation and they have come to the conclusion so many other people that the situation in the eurozone is untenable and i think when the euro is finally collapses as it will do surely within i would think probably the next year we will see just a this announcement downgrading of france of as having been one of the decisive moments powerful unions in nigeria plan to resume talks with the government after five consecutive days of nationwide protests against skyrocketing fuel and food prices the move comes after the unions threatens to stop all crude and natural gas production this sunday there are fears that the total shut down of oil exports from

the country could deal a major blow to the world's wobbly economy the added so the pan-african news wire has told r.t. that the west has every reason to be concerned we have to keep in mind that right now as far as the united states is it's are some to what you. all the thing i'm bored right now are going to the united states is coming from the african continent nigeria is the number one all of our export of the united states and dollar is number two of that. war that is it's a poor form africa. now it seems we are mindful of this that exported from the entire weaving and so the u.s. is very much concerned about maintaining stability in nigeria for the simple fact that it is heavily reliant upon the war that's being imported from nigeria and the . to egypt now where the former head of the un's nuclear watchdog mohamed el baradei has called on his bid for presidency he says his not going to run as the

old regime has never really gone away. has been seen by many as one of the front running liberal candidates but one egyptian commentator says he never read it stood a chance of leading the country. brothers stance two to not run for for presidency and withdrawing his candidacy is an extension to stance during the mubarak rule where he refused to be a presidential candidate in light of corruption so what he actually means by withdrawing his candidacy is to send a message out that the regime has still not fallen and that the scaf are mubarak's extension and that the regime is extremely corrupt and so he hopes to bring light to the fact that nothing has changed in the regime he didn't have much of a chance under the current regime because it was still the same chances as he had during the mubarak regime the military wanted to maintain control over every aspect of egypt's political life there's a campaign called has

a boon which means liars which shows how the military are lying actually about. everything they've said so far and their brutality against egyptians so that there is is been more dissent in one year against the military than mubarak has garnered over thirty years. and coming up in a few minutes the latest path find series right now see. this woman created the most profitable recruitment agency in russia and now she's ready to share the same secrets of success while south of. the lake into america says it's good nutritious food for children find out why it is classified as a vegetable in american schools one of three children dangerously away. yes defense secretary leon panetta says the american campaign in afghanistan is suppressing taliban at city and heading in the right direction that's in direct

contradiction to the leaked cia report presented to the white house which cost doubt on the optimistic rhetoric stressing that the u.s. operation has sunk into a stalemate several top command taters have signed and that's all dissent in response to the papers saying it doesn't show an understanding of taliban toxics and is based on a flawed evidence the cia report concludes that troop reinforcements have been ineffective because of corruption incompetent governance and attacks by top of influences were hiding out in neighboring pakistan this may result in an even longer stay by american troops beyond they planned it was droll in twenty fourteen according to newry of the new world strategies combination it has been ten years that has not unified the country i said should have been it looks like there's no chance with americans to see a government standing on its feet however this could prolong americans

be on a stone for a quite a number of years i would say and the years are unknown at this time but it looks like it's going to be a long time because there's a corrupt government cannot function in the way that it is right now the fact is that there is a friction in the white house right now get some more say no basically the pentagon good military is the one that's calling up that same day no we should not really here rush in play out fast as we can. with popular disapproval of the u.s. campaign in afghanistan on the rise americans will soon to have the chance to vote for change fuels abroad and more action on pressing issues at home and mung the most popular demands from americans on the presidential candidates so now we hope it is takes to the streets of new york asking whether change they can been me.

this year the us has the opportunity to elect a new president are they ready for radical change this week let's talk about that changing that much i just don't think is realistic at all we don't move that quickly it's not the way our system works and it will move in different directions over time but i don't think it's going to happen do you think that's a detriment to us that everything takes so long. maybe but it's the way the system works and i think that those checks and balances in the way that it moves slowly actually is good in the long run well they thought they were ready four years ago for radical change do you think they had radical change so far i feel like they had a radical change in the wrong direction so what direction do you think it should go in the way of the people which is what which is when the government actually works for us not for themselves the change i would like to see would be probably they would be complimentary because there are some libertarian ideas that are great but you just can't pull the social fabric out from the folks that need it you can't do

it i'm i really hard time with the fed and i think we should be out of all countries you know we should be occupying anything but we need to take care of our own i think you need somebody who is prepared to stick his head out and do big changes like to say do you think that the u.s. people would get behind a leader that that that if they get desperate enough because of the split that's happening with people who are employed not employed to have money and no money they desperately nuff you look at it whether or not the u.s. needs radical change the bottom line is it remains to be seen whether or not they'll vote for it. and some of the stories making headlines around the wild and just seen two people have been found alive. rescue is inside a cruise ship which ran around off italy's northwest coast two french tourists and

but terry it leaned back through grazers these stop where recruitment agency took many of the country's homegrown ungifted candidates out of the shadows and she and i have never regretted it. i am really fortunate that i've had a really good run with our business in russia i started sefl in two thousand and that was still during a time when it was a little bit of a crisis here after the ninety eight financial crisis and i think the key to our being successful one of them a very big one and we had an excellent chief accountant who really helped us set up the whole financial side of this business and that to me for going to set up any company in russia you have to have a good finance team we have one competitor here who set up their business right at the beginning of the crate actually right before the crisis so they came in about two thousand and seven and they really i mean they did not survive i mean they're here but they've had to downscale their offices like a skeleton crew and that's because they i mean some of the things that they did you

know they did wrong they had management that was not successful they had huge huge expenses i mean right now i mean we're still in an upswing at stafford which means that recruitment is moving along nicely we just need to get through the election period and then things will probably go very smoothly with any business for it to be successful you've got to constantly be on top of it and constantly motivate everyone to just keep going if you want to succeed no matter what the market environment is i think there's a lot of opportunities here you have to have the you have to have the drive to do that you know and that's what i think you know naturally in the world russia as well as anywhere else sometimes there's a fear of putting that drive into place or there's there are some you know barriers maybe but but anything can be done here if you just put your mind to it i mean look at me i open my company and it's you know one of the strongest recruiting firms in russia and who was i you know i don't have the big occasion or the big experience but i had the drive and i had the will and i had

a love of what i did and i wanted to succeed and i just pushed myself and i worked extremely hard day and night nonstop and i loved every single minute of it so that's the key come on. so really heavily engaged in sports here in russia so i i do taekwondo i play broom ball i would go bowling i play softball so a lot of different sports i'm involved with the metal really helps the first of all networking in the focus that a lot of it brings is really great like the taekwondo for instance for me it takes away a lot of the stress that i may have sometimes on different things and i can bring it in here and just be much more focused and i am i'm always accomplishing it i think my family is you know it's extremely important to me and that's one of the things that has kept me here obviously is we're here they're very happy here and now i get a lot of support from them in terms of i mean everything i do it's for them really you know the love of my life my my little boys are just incredible and i really

have a great family and very close and that's why you do everything i think you know in life so it's very positive place to be and that makes me happy i think it makes a lot of people. because he has long been a major problem for many children across america and while they needed for solutions the government of the keys of turning a blind eye to trends that's causing diabetes and heart disease but profit john food cooperation is very important what's on the menu in the us public schools. it's a super sized crisis impossible for america to disguise an insatiable love for food and big portions has served up a nationwide majority of overweight children none of us want this future for our kids as first lady michelle obama attempts to tackle the epidemic by advocating more exercise healthy eating and penning a book about the white house garden u.s.

lawmakers are getting kudo's for stirring the how problem her efforts which i applaud in a single woman tension fear will go nowhere given the allure of the. recent decision by the congress to send pizza was a vegetable you heard correctly the greasy cheesy cheap meal known as pizza is served as a lunch vegetable to thirty two million public school children how because u.s. department of agriculture guidelines qualify two tablespoons of tomato paste as an official veggie serving in november u.s. congress rejected a request from the department that would have changed requirements and ultimately removed from school menus congress has really shown who controls them and that's the big corporations and the big food corporations companies like con agra and swans these are the makers of the frozen pizza and they have huge financial
