magura weather is here is a reminder of the top stories from as a reform in syria fails to science and to awesome rhetoric in washington as the us secretary of state says the syrian nearly made it war criminal status and that's just after president johnson signed a new draft constitution which implies a political shake up in the conflict torn country and a serious hit greeks plan to vamp more anger on the streets of athens as the government starts to implement new belt tightening measures that sustain one of the most indebted the nations looks except to follow a similar path. that was just

a few days to go before russia's presidential election the candidates are redoubling their efforts to win votes but people's needs and political loyalties are not the same across the country with stark contrasts even and neighboring regions. greece struggles to comply with creditors demands another indebted to new members spain is trying hard to avoid the same scenario now as we talk to a spanish economist on what's ahead for the euro zone's fourth largest economy. spain has a new conservative government that further of thirty measures the spokes we need protests and with the country now suffering crippling the high unemployment especially among the many people are all thinking whether the country often described as to big to fail already have we're joined now by economist manuel thank you very much for joining us can you tell us how much of what the country is experiencing right now is due to being

a member of the year is that the situation that spain is experiencing it's clearly a consequence of spain joining the euro you see that we joined the euro. we were. subject to the european central bank the european central bank has settled interest rates are courting to the needs of the core europe which is or germany austria the france the netherlands and eats right the right to do that those interest rates were very low for spain they were adequate for most countries part very low for spain so what happened these that we received an enormous amount of credit. priest spanish debt this particular. piece of foreign called the forty forty. so what happened is that these cheap money has created bubbles like the real estate bubble and when the crisis started

the real estate bubble. fell down and of course companies started going back dropped public administration started not receiving income they were accustomed to and the whole the whole economy blew up but we think any government come in the protests have continued what do you think things feature no holds the government is doing what. you are piece telling them to do cut public spending and make some structural reforms like labor reforms which is ok. but that's not going to solve the problem because the problem is the euro and that's not going to solve the problem and so everybody in spain of the world with these expecting. the great expectations that the new government is going to arrange with the problem and i expect that maybe we have six nine months

of goodwill in. after six of my months. if the economy continues to deteriorate as i expect the economy to deteriorate people are going to be very very moved the move deceived when they when they see that that with the reality doesn't match their expectations with these governments do you think spain's future lies now within the year it's certainly not. certainly not now and now nor spain nor portugal nor greece nor italy whom the the so-called peace i don't know about an island i don't know very much but certainly not spain of course in theory you could have a uterus wrong with the core countries with germany the netherlands. austria maybe but not very sure france. but i am i my feeling is that if the.

peripheral countries abandon the euro i don't think the although four or five or six countries will feel very happy remaining alone where you've written about things exit from the air you think do you think that is a realistic option is a political problems the that and it's also is. a credit. debt problem you see. spain has as we said before about. nine nine hundred billion in foreign debt about half of that is held by germany and france maybe banks and funds and investors so you could see france and germany they don't want spain to default because of course leaving the euro is seen only most of defaulting i mean

because if you leave the euro the fording that. you have to you can repeat so if spain leave the euro spain has to default and that we hurt german and french banks and they don't want that so the the situation is very easy to understand it's like if i am a bank or you or me money you can pay well i want you to do whatever you you can to pay me and i don't want it will stop eating you take your children out of school do whatever but take me back you have. dozens of examples of even recent history in the last twenty years it has been thirteen countries when many more maybe of these thirteen that have devalued because they had. problems with competing and overvalued currencies and the the result forced to.

one in some cases better than others but it's always successful of course it's not that devaluing east the cure of all events you have to devalue and you have to do all of things all the reforms certainly. just devaluing is not enough but you can do nothing if you don't devalue c. but the people in greece and in spain being part of the year if their remains very much a source of pride doesn't it you're right you're right you see for reasons spain well the euro east associated with europe and of course politicians have conveyed this message they say because for because if you leave the euro you will be chased from the your european union which is forced i am absent of course the treaties the they don't they don't. consider the possibility of leaving the euro which is a matter that i don't concede but i'm absolutely certain that if if if if spain

leaves the euro nobody's going to chase spain out of the european union but anyway for the for the people. who are not very much aware of economics and nobody's aware that the crisis or region is the euro in spain nobody's aware of that maybe some economists are aware but the majority of course the message that in it's been conveyed by the banks by the. media by politicians is that the problem is the overspending of administrations. right i mean the asian overspending that's a problem but also thought the origin of the problem the origin of the problem is the euro and the lack of competitiveness that there you know has brought to spain therefore the recession and of course the recession always please repeat. a deficit

in the public administration but the deficit in the public administration if you can sequence of the spanish economy not being competitive do you think there are fears that what's happening at the moment in greece is going to be repeated in staying exactly the same i think it's we. they're about two years behind greece him terms of protest but you see the policy which the troika. and the international border font european central bank and european union are imposing on but if for countries greece italy spain portugal it's economics one o one is very simple to understand that i mean if these countries are. with problems and you force the to cut public spending well you. push them deep into recession and even your pretended objective which is to reduce public deficit where you don't reach that goal because the.

income of the of the public administration is reduced because the whole country goes into a big recession we have seen that in greece how every year the economy goes worse and we are seeing that in spain and we experiment that in spain more and more thank you very much for joining us.

thank. you. promised a reform in syria fails to silence and said rhetoric in washington as the u.s. secretary of state says the syrian leader i'm a sad war criminal status that's just after president asad signed a new draft constitution which implies a political shake up and a conflict for a country. that's just a few days to go before russia's presidential election the candidates are redoubling their efforts to win votes but people's needs and political moyles these are not the same across the country with stark contrasts even in neighboring regions. and stary have greeks planned and more anger on the streets of athens as the government starts to implement new belt tightening measures that to spain one of the most indebted e.u.

nations looks set to follow a similar path. that we have lines here in our t.v. sports next with. hello welcome to the sports headlines here's what we've got coming up. no such thing as a friendly russia begin their euro two thousand and twelve preparations with a trip to copenhagen to take on. stepping under twenty one coach stuart pearce takes charge of england senior side for the first time following the resignation of capello they take on the netherlands at wembley. the ring floyd mayweather jr promoted them a. toll continues about a so-called super flight which would put the boy among the park. but first russia held their final training session ahead of them match with denmark later on

wednesday it may just be a friendly but they manage taking the encounter seriously with the european championship just around the corner which is very important reports from copenhagen . the euros may be just over three months away but that time will pass very quickly for take out the cuts the dutchman has just freed friendly matches to prepare for those championships and has to pick his squad of twenty free which will go to poland and ukraine russia's head coach may have already decided on the majority of his squad but is taking the game very seriously the vendors are seriously for go before the door when we don't have some of the chances to play. good together thing to do group the group is improving and they're playing better and better and you can see them playing in the series also in the last couple games of of the group slow. with so few games left before euro two thousand and twelve advocaat has

very little time to tinker with his squad i'm a dutchman admits that wednesday's game will not be the time for experimentation and he will stick with those players who booked russia's passage to finals however russia's boss is pleased with some of the side's key players have returned to russia recently after not have the most successful of career is abroad with under a shove in being the latest to return home i think it's good for us if we weren't good for the nation too as well because he needs more practice in the more games. the possible to do tomorrow and also. to the vast majority of us squads the game of denmark will be just a second competitive match of the new season as russia is just coming out of its winter break while for the likes of roman publishing co who miss trading through illness you are sure to call for i'm glad i'm a good ball of is likely to start in goal with the i just love my life even eva i can fave both missing this will be the first competitive encounter of a new season as bear clubs were not involved in european club competitions however

denia deneuve says the players are raring to go and that it was good to meet up as a squad again after a break of over three months since the last fixture. most this is the final friendly before we begin preparing for the euros and this is also a great tune up for the league season which restarts in a week's time this should be a good game as replaying another euro two thousand and twelve purchase of pain at their stadium. and i want to get denmark unlikely to present russia with a tough test the danes of course also qualifying for european championships is likely to be even encounter and even bow out of a carter said he'll play strongest eleven expect the dutchman to make wholesale changes in the second half as he takes a look at some of the players who are looking to make his final scored bureaus might seem a long way away at the moment but in reality there's not much time for to come for canterbury his side for those finals game with denmark might only be

a friendly but is going to be a key opportunity especially for some of the fringe players so impressive about sherman when he took it on the plane to those finals in poland ukraine. don't see copenhagen. elsewhere england's caretaker manager stuart pearce takes charge of the side for the first time later on wednesday as the netherlands visit wembley it's england's first game since fabio capello resigned earlier this month will pay steps from the under twenty one squad where he's been the boss for more than five years the f.a. say they've had no contact with any candidates for the job on a full time basis pay said he'd happily take on the role for euro two thousand and twelve this summer and has already changed plans put in place by capello for england's preparations ahead of the tournament his first major decision is to name a new captain with steven gerrard scott parker joe hart and james milner all being mentioned as possible candidates. well another manager taking charge of his national side for the first time it's chris coleman he replaced the late gary speed

as wales manager and later on wednesday they welcome costa rica in a match dedicated to the memory of speed the forty two year old was found home to his home in november. meanwhile the kontinental hockey league playoffs are kicking off with the western conference quarterfinals beginning later on wednesday severstal face the biggest test in their battle with outland having fired their coach a day before the start of the postseason they play the first game in their best of seven series with alexander smirnov as the caretaker coach after dimitri cartel north was let go of sales car moscow and now facing a tough series of games against top seeded scarse in. two paedo take a nap inside the now more rigorous than a moscow against a nominee. and have it all to do with vast people do you really if they want to go beyond the top sixteen stage decorated six time you're in league with this planet and i crossed couldn't their season in

a battering tatarstan later on wednesday for the greeks already qualified for the playoffs well in it will be out of the postseason if they lose and front of actually milan or other group games. while in the n.b.a. derrick rose hard to come to the rescue his top three pulls against it from both the new orleans the reigning league's most valuable player getting into the light well on his way to thirty two points in the first game since the break for the weekend before they stormed back with a run in the fourth rose to. face high shot getting a lucky bounce with nineteen point four seconds left in the game and they run to a ninety nine ninety five when his jarrod just missed the last chance to tie the game for the visitors. now may not be the contest of the boxing world is desperate to see but anticipation is growing as floyd mayweather jr prepares to put his

unbeaten record on the line against me so in may the pair will trade close at the m.g.m. grand in las vegas on may the fifth with kowtows w.b. a super welterweight crown on the line but at a press conference. to promote the fight the talk was about a possible buyout between mayweather a manny pacquiao negotiations continue to stumble with pretty boy insisting the filipino is refusing to accept random drug tests pacman says he simply wants a fifty fifty split of the purse it seems negotiations have a long way to go. like i said before. if you want to fight floyd mayweather. it would be today facing floyd may would be. shut off. if you do want to you don't want it so it's obvious he didn't want it so we move on to the next meanwhile british boxing day which has been given an indefinite bond by the world boxing council for his behavior before and after his

fight with brittany klitschko earlier this month he slapped the ukrainian at the way in for the bout and then drooled with fellow brit david haye in a post five press conference the w.b.c. said it was one of the worst behaviors ever by a professional and demanded the twenty eight year old anger management treatment before they consider lifting the suspension. and finally the big guys were out in force in the russian capital over the weekend with more than five hundred power lifters arriving for the moscow open it's not in and then pick event but the sport is highly competitive and involves people of all ages as were found out. where there's a will there's a way to end these power lifters are a fine example of the triumph of human spirit the first moscow open was in two thousand and eight and today it's evolved into a major preparation stage and head of the european championship with more and more ready to bulk up for their chance plus i am after each tournament to be staged

proves time and again that there's an ever increasing number of people who want to lead a healthy lifestyle and if that choice is powerlifting or bench pressing it makes us very happy there are over five hundred people here and i hope that number will grow into thousands in years to come if there are two events at this tournament held across all accepted way categories for men women juniors and seniors first is para the thing which consists of three disciplines the squats bench press and deadlift and second is the stand alone bench press where moscow's alex a bottle managed and i watering one hundred ninety degree lows. to be honest i wanted to press ahead but as it gave i won in any case the greatest part about being is that my friends were here to witness my effort i'm good at this sport is developing like this because you could not imagine an event like these ten years ago. no paradise in competition goes without the seniors or the veterans as there

are sometimes referred to in russia one of major advantages of this sport is that it's available to anyone it almost any age starting at just thirteen years old another selling point is that even the rookies can be a record breakers like the forty five year old sergei marring call this compact powerhouse lifted his first weight only five years ago but captured two moscow region records in a row at this event. powerlifting allows you to always be well tone and keep your body in perfect form a person becomes more motivated not only during practice but in life in general actually your. ody of life drastically improves i don't know what it's like another gyms but our club rid of tobar as those who helped me find friends with common interests and hobbies or you're something of a moscow open is the biggest regional power that's in competition in russia it might be just four years old but the number of participants has already grown from the thirty seven muscovites to five hundred in the thirty representatives from all

over the country you know foreigners just but i am assured that anyone is welcome. to moscow well that's all the sports news for now we'll have more in a little under two hours to ask that. question is that so much different and there's a huge percentage find to defend the right to protect their rights to penetrate as syria continues down the path of destruction and civil war there are allowed voices on the international stage.
