in their economic measures meanwhile in athens political party leaders have failed to reconcile their differences and form a coalition government and are scheduled to meet with the president in a last ditch effort to avoid a new election one that could result in greece's exit from the eurozone the e.u. is also deeply worried over the possible consequences but when tains greece's exit to won't be fatal for the euro political analyst dr politicize the issue shouldn't be about preserving the single currency but helping the people. is already you know the bottom. and very sure other countries will do the say because it's not just working class it's really middle middle class which will be squeezed without any picture for the sake of these financial interests and this is something which goes against the grain of democracy and against a grain of deep. and freedom we are starting to italy to have you know

greece and germany that this money is secure from political risks it's really unclear why private investors should be responsible for political gains brussels is aiming to reduce greece's debt from one hundred sixty to one hundred twenty percent of g.d.p. by twenty twenty and the long term plan is supposed to attract over ninety five percent of private investors like peter moritz who bought greek bonds. these investments are usually money for retirement family support or medical treatment in many cases these people are very dependent on it. in greece constant austerity measures and hard hearted banking policies are already pushing some ordinary citizens to go to the most extreme forms of protest in turn to keep greece from completely going under brussels is also willing to shock through its actions which are. in the pockets of europeans outside the greek state putting money into

the message is delivered brutally these children were playing in a side street in east jerusalem when undercover israeli soldiers attacked them and forced them into their vehicle. he caught me by the neck and started choking me he dragged me to the car and to me inside i told him i was hurting me but they said it's not their problem. i report issued by defense for children international found that in most cases children are wasted in the middle of the night they were blindfolded their hands are tied and they taken in a military vehicle to an interrogation center by the time a child arrives here at off a prison he will have been detained for up to eight days in the end because of pressure almost all plead guilty but it's far from clear they really are relatively good in that he told me the best way to get out is to confess they said they had four soldiers testimonies and it's testimony as one month from prison so i can first i eventually said i did it with war but the truth says it to him is that he

woman from a non sikh woman so in the name of fairness to all women or accept from the world. but indian women's issues over the helmets extends beyond just the sikh community women of all backgrounds in delhi opt not to wear a helmet but this isn't about religious duty this is about plain old vanity on the mainland i don't like wearing a helmet because when i go for part is it spoils my makeup and my hair. experts say indian women routinely don't make safety a priority to men used to neglecting themselves it's that we were in a program to neglect themselves so if there is a problem if there's any health crisis with the man and the woman of the house then the man is taken to a doctor the woman is not. free now all the havoc over the home it will be put on hold and women will continue to commute hard hat free regardless of the risks

obesity has become a growing problem in the west but now a debate is raging over its very description with some claiming the word obese is offensive many are now questioning whether using of the medical term is politically incorrect the new proposal is to use the phrase unhealthy weight on new york resident twenty chew the fat on the issues with the people in the big apple. the u.k.'s national institute for health and clinical excellence has issued a guidance suggesting that the word obese might be too upsetting in derogatory to use is a case of political correctness gone mad this week let's talk about that last forty films is that when you were still heavy and someone called you obese with that effect and you. have been called worse you know what's worse calling someone obese or calling someone fat. the same. piece of that so should we not

address the facts because it actually you can dress up like that's just a race of toilet. disparities we don't but it's bad for people because at least the heart trouble and i die read cover to cover. this week who is in charge of deciding what a word a slang and whatever word is the proper term. i mean you don't really want the government to be in charge of that that's for sure you have anything yeah i mean the government shouldn't be in the in the in the game of policing what you say certainly of what you think you know what if someone called you whitey if somebody called me why do you say the property accurate but what you would you be offended no so why do people take offense to some words and not other words. probably because they care about what other people think it's an insecurity so we should just stop caring about what other people think and then the whole piece the thing all the way it's not like you should start caring what other people think. we

should start caring more about what you think bigots matters in the context that it's used like if you look at somebody and say damn they're obese that's in that context i think it's derogatory i think there's a the word obese or say obesity in general when you talk about a condition is it would not be derogatory just a statement of of a problem in a society maybe if we ever heard this word people would feel ok maybe a little bigger than. a regular people so there's no problem and what if you want to think about. exactly like why are we afraid to college drug user or drug user exactly you know this isn't big where we should escape or the pros for the problem tonight escape for a bit whether or not you think the word obese is derogatory the bottom line is it's also a medical condition and simply avoiding the word is not going to make the issue go away.
