school. should. run along each. other again this is all sierra traveled to headlines. international diplomacy over syria hate southwood special envoy kofi annan most scared to seek help in ending the bloody crisis russia all these that ford partners are not doing enough to stop why that's in the country i meet a global standoff on ways to solve the conflict. greta you asked secretary of state hillary clinton on arrival in egypt where she was given washington support for the newly elected is that mr president there's threatens to strain u.s. relations with a zero what clinton is an amazing a snakes on

a regional poll. on americans are losing trust in mainstream media as polls show its popularity is at an all time low but citizens are stepping in to fill the draft as online reporting moves to the forefront. as the headlines next to drafting a plan for struggling countries is in how to quit the year or as a leading british business chief tells us why he thinks they should. today i'm talking to lord simon wolfson who is a multi-millionaire and chief executive of the next fashion chain he's also just sponsored a prize for the person who comes up with a nice disruptive way for a country to exit the euro is a lot simon wolfson thanks for talking to us today now why did you decide to sponsor this prize i suppose the prize because there was an enormous intellectual vacuum nine months ago people were not talking about this the euro was designed
2:32 am
with all lines of retreat cut off and it looks increasingly unstable and the one thing you can be sure of is if it does break up we need a plan. and i think what this prize has done is it's taken a subject that was to prove it was a forbidden subject and it is now bought into mainstream debate moving that it's produced a fantastic finalist who actually come up with a very credible answer and why was the capital economics plan which won in the end so much better than anyone else's i think it was because it was so comprehensive it was very clear it was well argued it wasn't an reasonable in its expectations of what institutions would have to do it was clear around where the pain would be and where the game were being and it's at a path that will allow any policy maker in any part of europe sit down read that about it will be their prime and that will be the first thing that they should read and can you just summarize it i think it starts with if you take their proposed
2:33 am
timetable the timetable is one weekend the banks are closed a bank holiday is declared on the monday and over that weekend in the existing country all assets liabilities wages prices are converted into the new currency in that country so you may have been earning thirty thousand or thirty thousand euros up of us one day the next week your earning thirty thousand drachma. that currencies and floated on the free markets and the value that currency would then drop dramatically now that sounds like a problem. actually it is the start of the solution because when the currency drops in value that is when greece can return to competitiveness and begin to tackle things like its twenty percent unemployment see the new drachma was introduced and is immediately devalued as a planet suggests how much would that affect people on the ground how much pain would that be for ordinary people in greece the world. over night very little
2:34 am
because all prices were changes well so yes your salary will be a new track and that will be to value but so would your mortgage and so with the price of the goods in the shops now what would happen is of course imports will become more expensive and that will filter slip through into inflation and that will affect people's living standards will begin to see this but at the same time you'll have an enormous competitive use to the economy suddenly domestic producers will be in at an enormous advantage to expensive imports that will create employment that will boost growth and that will kick start the whole economy again and the the history of the sharp devaluations whether it be great britain in one nine hundred thirty one britain came out of the r.m. in one thousand nine hundred two or argentina devaluation what you see is an initial hit and initial hit to living standards followed by a dramatic increase in growth and i think that's what would happen in greece and as its inception the year it was this thing that was supposed to promote growth and jobs what went wrong what went wrong is that it was fundamentally flawed in the
2:35 am
first place it was a classic cars kind of old horse it over time economies to converge more people move between areas and over time that a currency union forms almost naturally if you look at what happened between era. great britain over the last thirty years the two currencies almost came to paris without anyone planning it. but to force them to and over economies that are so difficult was to invite trouble there was never any exit plan in place once country has gone into the euro they were stuck in that basically why i think that was. well i think that the architects believe that if there was no line of retreat for the troops to fight that much harder. this was a classic case of sort of burning. it was a mistake and it was an act of extraordinary political arrogance that they were so convinced that politics our way economics that they refused to think about the
2:36 am
possibility of failure and it does seem that we're still seeing those political and kind of ideological considerations of how weighing the economic considerations absolutely all over all make you a human is the politicians will cling to their idealism and promises for as long as they possibly can but in the end the weight of economics always wins politics never trumps economics so we've seen various attempts to shore up the recently end of the bailout for greece also cheap money flooding international banks from the e.c.b. will these measures work to think absolute you know what those measures are is they all refinancing debt that no one thinks can be paid back they do nothing to address the fundamental problem at the heart of the euro which is the fact that portugal's greece spain ireland italy are all hugely of a drag and as a result of that they have uncontested and unemployment rates are unimaginably high levels between fifteen and twenty five percent of these bailout plans do nothing to
2:37 am
address unemployment and spending greece and do nations like spain and greece needs to leave the euro in order to promote growth i can't see how a country whose interest rate is being held at levels that are miles above its growth rate compulsively escaped the state without at some point defaulting devaluing some of that debt and starting again until greece and spain can be competitive in the fashion markets i don't see how they can grow and if greece did leave do you think it stands to reason the others would then. well i think there be two reasons for us to follow the first would be capital flight but the day that greece leaves and devalues everybody's bank deposits is the day that everyone in spain withdraws among the noises an instance of germany and then the weight of our capital flight may well just break the system if it doesn't the next critical point will be if greece succeeds because if greece comes out and in two years time is
2:38 am
doing really well on its unemployment rate has dropped from twenty to ten percent then spain spaniards are going to think hold on a second what is all this austerity about. him if they seem to be doing much better out of the system and the point going to be an economic pressure political pressure for them to leave and as a british businessman how would all this affect you well there are two things that britain's got to worry about the first is the stability of all banks and that really is the government's business so the banks british banks have three hundred billion euros worth of assets in southern europe a lot of that will be devalued so that's going to be a hit for the british banks and that gap will need to be plugged whether it be through additional provision of liquidity or capital the government must be ready to do both the second thing is that traders will need to adjust their trading patterns essentially goods that were that they can buy for missing will be a lot cheaper so there's an opportunity for traders to buy more from southern european states and also the flipside of devaluation in the south is an
2:39 am
appreciation of the currency in the north british goods to germans will become cheaper and that's an enormous opportunity for britain both to export into germany and to compete more fairly and more effectively in the united kingdom with northern european competitors we're still seeing angela merkel holding on almost desperately to the euro trying to keep it alive is that just because germany benefits from a single currency because it's easier to sell its goods and services it in a why to europe i mean germany's here is sort of a slightly fool's paradise because on the one hand yes it's much easier for germany to export. on the other hand germany has lent the central bank of europe five hundred billion euros that's been pumped into southern europe in order for these goods to be bored so on the one hand it's selling goods but on the other hand it's lending money that's never going to be paid back to buy those goods at a discounted rate so yes the industry seems to be doing what out on the other hand the taxpayer on the banking system is coming under increasing pressure to pay for
2:40 am
those discounted exports. and i think people are beginning to realize that is merkel just waiting to get our money back that essentially what i think in the question is is that money ever going to be repaid oh and as as i think was mentioned earlier on this is as much a political project project as it is an economic project i don't think the germans are just looking at the costs and not just looking at about eight they're looking at their most cherished political project of the last thirty years and i think it will take more than just cost to change their minds is there a future do you think for the european union without the absolutely i mean britain is a is a very healthy member of the european union and we're not in the euro and let's face it the european union was around a long time before the euro was introduced this absolutely no reason why the european union should not just survive the collapse of the euro and what simon wilson thank you very much the pleasure.
