to teach really shouldn't why you should care about humans and. this is why you should. only. thank you for joining our team and how nice the hour i'm karen these are your headlines u.s. officials come clean about washington aiding the syrian rebels name sources say weapons are flowing in the rebels claim they have recently seen an influx of arms from abroad to fight the regime in syria. the euro's on shaky ground as greece's new election could see the country take a leave of the currency union it would send shock waves across the region with each new heavyweights still hoping to keep the greeks. and a family walled in and left in isolation israel's barriers are separating people
12:31 am
who've refused to leave lands passed down through generations but israel says the walls are essential for its security. trying times for the eurozone and next we talked to chuck it aboard to the economics leader writer for the guardian newspaper about what worst hit greece and what the entire region can do to get it back on track. today i'm talking to dieter chakraborty who's an economics leader writer for the guardian newspaper we're talking as politicians increasingly start to discuss an exit for greece from the euro zone as you see checkerboard he thinks that orderly all disorderly that exit will see disorder on the streets of greece like you very much for talking to us today and we've recently seen these elections in greece which appear to have shown that the greek people reject austerity how long do you think that rebellion is going to go on for i think it's already been going on for
12:32 am
the better part of two years ever since the european union and the i.m.f. impose a really severe program of spending cards and form of welfare on greece you've basically seen a country which is dissin very quickly into the realms of the young governable what you saw simply unlawful action in this was about getting on percent voted against austerity that is for a party that was against austerity now whether that means that they're against spending cuts well that means they're against reforming labor laws would that mean they're against changing the welfare system where they simply privatizing whole swathes of national assets i don't know but what you do see very clearly from greece these elections and i think you've seen for the best party years is a kind of wholesale rejection of the program that's been imposed upon greece and we've seen germany's finance minister will crank schauble make it very clear that i would agree stick to this austerity all it quits the euro what's in greece's
12:33 am
interest would you say. what's best for them i think we can start with the most obvious thing is to stop this austerity what happens next well that's a that's a more vexed question if you want to talk about whether it's a good idea for greece stay within the euro or not. i think either way it's commute very painful this. for greece if it stays within the euro. it will be forced to stick to some kind of program imposed on it from outside for a long time to come and it won't have a great safety valve that's normally given to countries mistress or been able to devalue its own currency that lots of problems with staying in the euro leaving on the other hand of the kind of volatility and turbulence which may well look may or may well make the general strikes to rights all the rest of it look like walking a pole compared to what happens next so that's from greece's point of view but what about the point of view of the rest of the year is the german chancellor angela
12:34 am
merkel and new french president francois hollande says both say that they want greece to stay in the is greece essential for keeping the euro zone together really . it's not but the big question that will come up as soon as any country walks out a door is which i was going to follow after it so greece is a very small economy greece is also it's pretty clear and exceptional case within the euro zone economy because it's had the biggest crisis of the lot it's had the biggest bust of the lot it's got of course you know it's got a whole series of. specific to greece but if it goes then what's to stop portugal from going to and talking about sort of house of cards and this is being this is being the big question ever since it became clear that southern europe was in trouble was it was never about one country in particular and it was particular not about greece assumes the questions of arise about greece in question actually the
12:35 am
big questions get raised what about spain what about italy and these are these are the really big economies have been some europe and within the euro zone and so when i go merkel said if the euro collapses europe itself will collapse do you think that sort of prophecy almost coming true. three funny statement for the german chance to make because the euro the euro is a union the seventeen countries the european union is a union of twenty seven countries and growing and so for her to ally one with the other is a is a very curious thing to do. it may be rhetorical overstretch but it may also be that she sees the euro zone affecting without that what happens in the european union probably she's got it she says the euro equals european union but she also says austerity equals zero so what you've got. very clearly not just in greece but across the euro zone now you've got electorates and governments collapsing because they cannot impose austerity on their own their voters so even in neverland
12:36 am
government government collapses because economy posen sturdy belgium hasn't had a government for the best part of a year. if the if the european equal just thirty and if the year if european. and if the year equal then vote as they want us thirty so what does that mean about the rest of the european union i think you've got to come up with a better story for europe is for than simply it's about the euro what about potential exit for greece politicians are now really for the first time talking about an actual situation where greece might access and they're talking about an orderly or a disorderly exit what do those terms mean and what real difference do you think it would make really really odd thing when people who are all the or disorderly is all evil disorderly for whom because i can assure you that any sort of situation however well managed for the group for the ordinary greek it's going to be very disorderly indeed it's going to be very very turbulent. people have been modeling
12:37 am
what a greek exit from the euro zone would look like for the best part of a year politically and economically politically even those who are in favor of greece leaving the euro zone. they would accept that it would involve the army being on the streets to keep order it would mean the banks would have to shop for speak up would be a teams would not be working it would mean that people would stop from leaving the country especially with disproves of europe in their back pocket because the country would then need to stop all capital from the country and to maintain a very high level. so it would feel affected like a countryman of marshall vote. the question all in the saudis really for the rest of the euro zone if the euro zone can say to threaten to financial markets look greece is leaving but we all know greece is a special case you know behind hands will say it's a bit of a basket case and actually its problems are not the rest of the euro zone that's
12:38 am
what they really mean by an orderly exit if they can convince everyone that greece is leaving because of greece not because of the euro i don't think the markets would buy that because the rot has gone so far. financial markets are unwilling to lend to spain or to italy that i don't think people any longer see is a problem confined to just one or two small countries and what about the situation with the banking sector in greece at the moment you talk about sort of disorder on the streets we've seen in the region of a billion euros i think withdrawn from greek banks just in the last ten days how significant is that how close do you think that is to panic withdrawing a run on the banks essentially. i was i went into one being spanx in greece in the capital athens in syntagma square last summer and one of the two most popular financial products and pulled out a say. to what. they were going to say. they
12:39 am
put their money they no longer keep their money in counts in the bank they keep it in a safe box in the vaults below almost under the mattress exactly like twenty first century of keep it on the pillow. so actually a bank run has a very slow motion bank run has been evident in greece for the best part of a year what you see in the past ten days is that sped up dramatically. the banking system in greece told him the purpose is been a zombie five banking system for the best past years because most of the debts that greece holds has been written on so much a single portion of those debts held by the greek government are held by the greek banks system so effectively a sudden apollo worthless loans and that's before you get on to the loans are made to businesses and households which also not worth half what they were if that. so it's pretty clear that whatever you would have to do to greece stays in europe where it does then you're aware victims was thirty were doesn't it in your authority in need to do something to restructure and to bring back to life its
12:40 am
banking system but it doesn't have the money to do that and no one in the rest of europe is willing to give it money to do that and all over europe there's a growing popular opposition to the political and economic union how of european bureaucrats failed to convince the people that the european union as a whole and the euro particularly are a good idea. i'll turn a question around you have to say it's the most it's it's the crowning achievement of brussels it's managed to take a largely pro european continent and turn it so wholesale you against europe and the euro we're talking in britain where. if you look at the popular press and even sections our political party system there are a whole variety people who would see brussels being on some kind of conspiracy plot to turn all banal as straight and this is always been part of the british public discourse what's been really interesting from this side the channel is actually more and more the continent is turning against the euro and turn against europe and i think that's largely goes back to what angela merkel says about if the your
12:41 am
affair with europe fails she has made europe about the euro and she's made your about making spending cuts even in germany which is seen as being the strongest and most successful economy of the past decade even in germany the average german worker has seen his or her wages for a deposit kate take out inflation the median german wages fall and four percent over the past decade so even you are rich german workers the person in the most successful strongest economy in all of europe is worse off now than they were when since the euro launched and how far do you think politicians in brussels are willing to go to save the union and what you've seen in a past two and a half years is effectively a whole series of blame games going on a soon as it became clear that greece was in trouble people in brussels and cross normally would say well that's greece you know we need a relation really been part of the year in the first place denial and says hang on we're in trouble well you know the irish they can never control this their property
12:42 am
market in portugal well ways portugal then spain italy and so on so forth always becomes the fault of these individual countries and no point until very recently didn't say hang on there is a systemic problem here because you see whole swathes of europe now effectively going bankrupt or as close to bankrupt as you can get. and so the very belatedly they realize that actually this is not just about country's been at fault but about an extension crisis bureau. having only just recognize that they're nowhere near putting the policies in place that might save your. thank you very much.
12:43 am
12:44 am
think. we have to begin to identify those goals you have to. push. to stand. above the can just say. i can't. please to come to peace. as i get by people don't seem all that bad but it is a bunch of losers but i have a very good. job see that's all nonsense so they don't have jobs they're losers. my tax. cut.

a major boost from the country's top oil firms of a government has taken a particular interest into sports but nonetheless it still takes massive financial sports just to get started. on like athletics or swimming where you only need a pair of trainers or trunks motorsport is way more expensive as you need a top car which you have to maintain it's very expensive to buy the tires and spare parts especially for a ferrari for a child who's competing in the russian go karting championships it will set their parents back in the region of fifty to sixty thousand euros just for a season however competing professionally in a ferrari is much more expensive and will cost them two hundred thousand euros money oversleep plays a massive pass in getting started but talent also plays a very important role as well. both newtonian amik say he will be looking to go from strength to strength in all aspects a big career. goal for me tante most good. well the oldest school for now i'll have
