cold blood. reports on the ground show that various extremist groups are doing the fighting including al qaida but it's not to say that all of them are all either it's a full blown civil war where the degree of hatred is so high that people commit atrocities on all fronts i spoke with one of america's leading experts on counterterrorism and he told me the bloodshed will be even harder to stop as more outside forces get involved it isn't any more simply a question vs our. it's a question of saudi arabia versus iran and it's a question of turkey's increasing role in the middle east all these things make this more and more complicated and make it less and less likely there we're going to have a peaceful resolution instead we're going to have a winner take all solution one could say the danger is in simplifying things putting them black and white supporting people who kill can be called anything but

e.u. countries percentage wise it used to be around fifty percent now it has gone down to just over forty percent that means we're diversifying our trade more and more trade with african countries asian countries all around the world and this of course has spurred a lot of growth so we need people to be able to manage this we need qualified people personnel so we see that a lot of people are now coming you know second and third generation immigrants are coming back home for this purpose but there's another reason why a growing number of turks want out of the e.u. . now with the crisis what's the result we reject. foreigners obviously know that there are fewer jobs less money what happens is play origin is first given to the belgians and after the foreigners the turks the moroccans the russians my decision to go back to turkey is economic but also because when there's a crisis there is discrimination if you know of this community yet as this migration trend rises turkey is still officially knocking on the e.u.

8:22 am
a lot both my hands hurt my legs hurt too it's more difficult for me to walk around because of its extremely low wages bangladesh is one of the largest garment producers in the world attracting american brands from tommy hilfiger to j.c. penney to gap but the conditions at the factories are shocking low safety standards crumbling buildings and poor electrical wiring make working extremely dangerous many of the clothing companies look the other way when things go wrong claiming that they don't know what their far away factory owners are up to labor activists say that the companies should take an interest in people rather than just profits it to it's very clear that these factories don't care about anything except money once dozens of workers may have. months corruption between the factory owners and politicians extreme poverty and a slow justice system make it nearly impossible for western brands to be held

never be the same preassure either r t dhaka bangladesh. joins us now from the business desk and it seems russian markets are doing so much better than in the rest of the world why is that you know it could be the last night's a big gold win for the volleyball team for russia because indeed i've been reading on articles like that there is a connection between sports performance and market performance in the u.s. it's usually connected with an h l teams performance usually if it has a child team loses then the stocks of the companies in those cities start losing value the next they will look at the their connection between sports teams and market performance a bit first of all as take a look at what's happening in the markets really russia is feeling so much better than the rest of the world as karen rightly said is up one point seven percent of my sex one point four percent and that's on the back of high oil prices will look at them also in just a second second because some of the movers on the my sags and rosneft is one of the

biggest gainers among blue chips up more than two percent it's reportedly considering an expansion to now gas produced at nova tech is also up two point six percent in the second quarter net profit fell by around a third but that was better than expected apparently and ross telecom is also a very good performing stock and its profit plunged by a half in the second quarter this year according to russian accounting standards but apparently that's again better than expected to move over to europe which is you know showing a different picture especially in london where the olympics is indeed over down zero point zero five percent is the fourth see and that's on the back of losses in asia because. japan reported very weak g.d.p. figures in the second quarter the economy grew just point three percent much worse than expected and the annualized growth will be one point four percent of g.d.p.
