get smaller and smaller and smaller so you're going from two months to two weeks to two days and in the case of spain it took literally two hours for things to turn around this is by far the end for me from the end of the story. that to those who took it to be the time to catch up with the business to ask them for more and also had trouble in cyprus has not calling for russia's help to save the bugs what you know yeah that's right well kevin it comes off to me does cut the writings on some of the massive banks in sight press that normally depends on the support but obviously we know it's happening that they're at the epicenter of the european sovereign debt crisis a multi-cell from the later we're going to head through the markets together i'm going to start with the russian markets because most investors they headed back to that yes today to really digest what's been going on over the weekend and it felt as if today they've had two days off as a public holiday and we've got the l.t.s. that i have up with and the my space around the thing impulsive territory to let

things moving in on them i said schools now the biggest hit in moscow is not one of a half percent in positive territory magnate as well the retailer is also high with revenue rising by almost a. month and bank of most. now why whole focus and last despite thousand and eleven net profit of seven hundred fifty five million dollars compared with over two billion dollars in net losses in twenty tents lots of massive turnaround for that good fortune all right let's talk about russian ways because this is slightly interesting i think because they're considering building a royal walled in the united arab emirates now the company has taken part in the tend to link the country's capital with the business to bomb now the winner of the two billion dollar project will have to construct a five hundred ten kilometer long run away with the entire infrastructure by twenty six days so as i say that bit in for that when we see if they're going to get involved with watching the stock for you all right let's have

a look at the variable and see how that is performing and i do believe it's changed slightly so now it's getting i guess us still that the year i had the year i don't know that the currency really in focus right now is one twenty five fifty just ever such a fraction that so low to sentiments but maybe one of the reasons it's off is because the great people that we drawing that year i was in the millions and that's because they're anticipating a return to the drachma obviously we've got the election coming up on the seventeenth this sunday now so that we want to watch them we're talking about europe so it's going to the european markets i just want to mention that we have have the attack it is just taking place and i can tell you that that boring calls have indeed. that is a concern i was selling six point five million a year as it was a one as well but. stopped. just opposite in just seven basis points that is down around two tenths of a percent this trade is already show what direction to go in at the my if we look

at the oil prices that we've got the opec meeting coming up tomorrow right they're going to be decided on their quotas for production for the rest of the year and that's all about supply which affects those prices but this hour. they are getting addison just like fraction but if you look at those prices. they are live all right let's talk about the world bank because it's warning the developed nations saying they should be bracing themselves for weak growth and tough times ahead of the banks the latest forecast says a developing economy is five point three percent this year but that's almost one percent less than in twenty eleven now it's policymakers to take measures to ensure they can sustain growth a major escalation of the debt crisis in a year as i know the same time the bank has put on the front line of the crisis point says is improve the outlook for the country's economy expecting the g.d.p. to increase but almost four percent this year by expect to grow to be mostly

supported by stronger production and let's get out cyprus story than the debt stricken country is calling for another bit of help from russia the island's media says the country has requested a five billion euro a credit to support its financial system this comes after may discuss the writing of top cypriot banks that maybe depend on the troubled greek economy last year russia provided the republic with two and a half million euro which at that time it grew to ten percent of g.d.p. they all right kevin you're up to date in the world of business the good news is it for western europe and southern europe but are you looking at the structural so that was a spoke to a lot of us here in fifteen minutes from the head football fans across europe gearing up for today's big euro twenty twelve encounter between germany and holland our sports team very much across it more than fifteen minutes for you to bring a bit of cheer the headlines coming up next here on our. four minutes time.
