all in all very good news george who founder of international strategic alliances for me thinks china is edging away from its dollar dependency. it's difficult. to completely get away from that downer they're holding too many too much dollar but they venture is something like sixteen or more bilateral what they costs want currency agreements and russia is one of them and all of these. is to allow the bilateral trade between the two to do without having to convert the amount into galleries first but to use it to build your local currency and that is a internationalizing. internationalizing the i mean be. as well the leveraging and minimizing exposure to the dollar. you can sort of themselves descendants of an ancient tribe that's been in existence on the promise land for thousands of years for some their journey back has taken

very easily either but i wouldn't say that these only is a great depression do you think it's worse in some places and better in others. it's the worst thing since the great depression probably the second great depression it'll be known in the future as the second worst of the depression yes why are we calling that that now i don't know did they call the great depression the great depression well was happening exactly yeah they don't want to use the word the big deal word depression because a by the phrase that once depression happen everybody going to hold their money and we've been taught so strictly to spend spend spend spend so we stop spending because depression then things get worse so they don't want that to happen so they'll wait for the history books to call this officially depression yes if we admit that we're doing things wrong which we should do everybody else will you know everything else will take two so they want to be getting out of it as soon as we admit it. we just need to admit there's a problem it's always the first step. whether or not we're living through the

prostitutes back to their rooms in colombia ahead of the visit by president barack obama he called the agents in question knuckle heads and the congressional investigation into that incident has also been expanded to include another incident in two thousand and eleven in el salvador of a similar nature all of this suggests that official comments that what happened in colombia was an aberration may indeed not be the case and it appears that here in moscow the scandal may have spread here as well on this central street it's famous for its entertainment venues bars and clubs and one club in particular may have become connected to this scandal the american newspaper the wall street journal has quoted informed sources are saying that in june two thousand american secret service agents reportedly visited the hungry dark night club a very raucous place noted for its wild parties that was ahead of
