political activists threatened to mar the euro twenty twelve championships in poland and ukraine just four days into the tournament but some fans have jumped on their politicians bandwagon in boycotting the tournaments over human rights issues . the european countries who share currency the debts are piling on the emergency money fund is being sapped the man at the helm of the euro project when it launched now tells our team what's needed to save it. i'm on a pro day was a huge leader when eleven states abandon their currency for the euro mr prodi do you take any responsibility for the current mess for the current mess no must i take the merit for the euro look when the euro was a bore it was clear that we needed political legs come on fiscal policy i advised the program of and now authorities to call.

the behavior of by mistake. in two thousand and three i rise in the program again and france. germany and italy they thought that this was a game they surveyed it neatly. and then i asked a control at least they are required to control by the eurostar say look. and they said no. and so that we could cheat everything when i write that probably either member that helmut kohl say look we did the big gaffe or now we shall call played it. in the next two years but then europe changes what will greece leaving the euro do to your country italy not to buy counter-rally but to all the countries the banking system. will be this other way and that and that is clear.

you know it means the domino effect. if you keep getting worse and you gain a lot of warnings because of speculation then you're stuck with portugal ireland spain italy france and then germany germany and greece of different can they really share a single government and economy with very different good yes look california they have california budget is much more than good but nobody backs california. said ten degrees past behave because the greek government cheated there is clear. no doubt they have completely cheated and that the devil was six seven pound guy then bill was declaring it so the day this is not is not to be state it is about doing it you know so you have to have it out already to pull that off

how do you stop financial markets the credit rating agencies moody's fitch standard imposed. choke hold on europe call the resulting war a way out they don't attack the united states or china because they are too big dogs and they only remedy is to become a big dog or two weak to stick together if you're eurobonds together we such a big entity that nobody will attack nobody they attack us because you beat one and then the other one and then they are what is easy to beat small cats but to beat the big guy is. more and more difficult this is why we are losing so they only one thing stated china now fully so but in the states you say states should give up more of their national powers how much more should they lose in europe we have a doctrine that you must do at the local level anything that you can do at

a local the cypriot support europe is not united states we have not to send. it but we have something good out of the general it's a behavior that must be sure there's a victory. for example you can't take it so quickly for the company conversation because. otherwise it was in school so whose company from one congress to another isn't also so very good yes he's going to rethink second you have to have a couple rules on the behavior of the property. because otherwise you know as i told you before. and then you must have a couple rules on monetary policy these are also of some of the yes is a lost of. the control on the banking system kind of big machine can not be an

issue is a loss of serenity yes. three percent of us want somebody only if we lose it there is a new i don't say ali or a new links among france italy spain and other countries for this more balance of policy and i don't say that they will be a gauge generally because this would be stupid you know germany must be the leader of the contents of the economy and we need more than that as ted mimi's. but they preserve a genuinely. credible platform with the necessity constraints and limits that could be acceptable for example. by with a colleague of mine we proposed to. accompany the euro bonds with

a guarantee of the gold or wanted by the central banks because italy and try a lot of the gold we put as a guarantee and put as a guarantee for a structural pipeline is that to collect you know that to give to get me to get into that we want to stick together and we put our assets in thinking we can find how's that the base technical program the real difficulty is that now the different government has been showing gain with that. pending the euro but it says appears to war isn't the problem people don't want to be controlled from brussels because it's fundamentally undemocratic with unelected leaders the crow that they didn't want to have and out. looking in to the nation states it's completely different from that. because it is clear. now

it is korea that all the. governments. losing they power they losing really the basic. power of this a democratic world. and so. be quiet because they have to take this if you're in one direction not about that they cannot touch. tax capital because it slows their way and so they all the european states united kingdom included and so not before the losing suffering. and this is at the idea that we can preserve the the the. protagonist of the war like the writer state of the financial markets of too strong and so either we

put our so very fit together or we lose all our support the six scandals all feel successful silvio berlusconi how much of they damaged italy's image if i consider my experience through every role a lot of. people made fun of my county and they cannot stand. the course and. bad people and good people as in any other country and you know whether they be that. you can change the rules you can behave in a timely way. you know i didn't like that. and yet you say the e.u. still in the pits a state than america so if you take fifty i am going to come up with you i think definitely. much i would like to say i think also you know the increasing gap in his is that of course.

the russian state has a federal budget. movers as the big. you know the european union that's the one thing. you would be offended by because i have enough to say if you look. between great people who are and fifty percent think the fed. so you can balance the lot of this but you know rio. through the. universe much better than the united states. president of the european commission and prime minister of it's a big thank you for speaking with us you think.

i'm sure old guard you got a story or out about this crazy lady with a convertible that honk footprints and every time she passes it i was on death row for nineteen years right there. a lot of the life that my. society has condemned these people as less than human it is necessary to punish crime everything we do to punish crime is unpleasant. but it needs to be done nobody wants to be linked to the nazis but the historical antecedents of the american death penalty today come in large part from the nazis and the saddest part is the state of texas gets their way and they execute him and i won't be allowed to touch him until after he's dead he's my only son at any time i leave the house. and he keeps telling me they can't hear me in there because it's all cinder blocks and concrete but every time i go by.

i won't be there i will not witness the killing myself. comfort is the least you have. the money is the last you need if you travel this way. language is common.

to. the. emotions are intense. experience priceless. if you're followed up on my.

back and part of. it goes back to a time when people would lie down in their forces in the wild west and pick up peace future dates important to the sheriff for prosecution don't like company mail fellows to keep. their weapons. and you have to hope that nothing can. move. forward facing killers and you gotta keep that in mind others that to me a dollar bill for his arrest. but not super hero they can be killed to you know if they shoot me in the head i'm going to die. and. once you hundred men you. never go back to.

a league like inside drop to fifty second in the world rankings they also lost their last two warm up matches against austria and turkey as the coach continued to experiment with his squad however only by an unique midfielder anatoliy to marshall and dinamo moscow forward and reverse on in play and signed ukraine while the olympic stadium is also the home to star striker jenkins dynamic here and with a home crowd. hind them this could all pretty vital. we don't really know what to expect as far as fan support every team wants the fans rooting for them and ukraine will have the luxury playing at home them up well regardless what happens in the stands and beyond that should not affect our performance on the pitch. meanwhile sweden's best finish at the european championships was semifinalists when they were the hosts in one thousand nine hundred two this summer at cameron side are on the crest of the wave they won their last two friendlies at home to serbia and iceland and qualified by finishing as best runners up in group b.

that will be revelent come kick off. we are facing a team with you at least action form and twenty one matches on beaten at any level of football that alone international football is a is a for an achievement but. i think when you come to european championships or world cups to some extent having good form or bad form isn't necessarily the. the fact to which he's going to do so as he tell you to he was able to play only on the night on the view your money if you don't know who we went through a rough patch let's face it over the last two years we've been building up the team progressively we qualified for this year of competition with difficulties but i believe we deserve to be here and we need to be confident although some teams. we are to win big company but if we manage to come out of the group a few then anything is possible. more sport down to formula one where incredibly lewis hamilton has become the seventh winner in as many races in this season the
