and negative outlook spotted on the emu as the merry go round of euro zone meetings fails to offer up a solution all bulgaria else now has the single currency. a protest vote brewing in canada's french speaking the bad financial tough times have people increasingly opting for independence. and the u.s. is said to be only ratcheting up its threats against iran in a bid to delay a possible israeli strike against the country.

hello and welcome to r.t. where we are all screen and online twenty four hours a day seven days a week while more bad news for the european union has ratings giant moody's slaps a negative outlook on the block with a possible downgrade looming it's meant to reflect the troubles of its main budget contributors including germany and france and less sit downs between e.u. leaders have so far failed to bring about any opening for change tuesday we'll see greece and portugal under scrutiny from their creditors as france and italy continue attempts to dig their way out of trouble meanwhile it's the european public bearing the brunt of the crisis another of spain's regions and illusia has run out of money and asked some small government for help investment advisor patrick young says bailouts for weaker members are destroying the eurozone. notwithstanding the terrible crisis in the euro zone the truth is that the european

union's glorious idea that they can pull everybody's money together and go towards prosperity has been a fiasco because all of the people in the euro are being sucked towards poverty because of the fact that there has been transferred so much money to the profit incompetent governments that are on the southern side of the euro zone there's a wonderful article by the mayor of london boris johnson talking about how cruel issue is going to be sucked into the euro because they've pledged to join it because they are exceeding to the european union next year that would be a suicide move for any nation that wants to join ultimately the prosperous club of the euro zone has turned into a very bitter amongst feuding drunks over who is going to get the last measure of vodka and that is not a way that any other government is going to be happy in being complicit with the economic mismanagement of a crumbling field single currency zone meanwhile with one eye on the troubles of

its neighbors bulgaria has put its your ambitions on hold finally having qualified to join r.t. is test our silly reports on the poorest members change of heart. bulgaria is posing the latest blow to the embattled currency know it has put on hold its long held plans are joining the euro bloc and interesting we bulgaria in contrast to a lot of bigger economies has managed to reduce its budget deficit to two point one percent of its g.d.p. and that is safely within the three percent rule set by the e.u. a number consistently met mentioned by german chancellor angela merkel but now that they've actually qualified and all the rules they don't want to put this on hold of the prime minister of bulgaria as well as the finance minister had both said that there are two main reasons for this one is the increasing of vulnerability and uncertainty of the future of the euro in the block it's clear it's been going on for a couple of years now and also the deteriorating economic conditions are still the

clear way out of the crisis and secondly and i think importantly for the leaders of that country is that changing the public opinion in bulgaria people they're asking the very same questions that the citizens of credit countries are asking who else are going to be allowed and for bulgaria's point of view who are we going to bail out once we join the euro and also the country has been through three years already of hysteria measures cuts in pensions and wages and you know for the last year especially a stereo is almost a key word when discussing the eurozone or the euro and now bulgaria is not the only country it's just the latest in the string of countries lithuania last week the prime minister had said that it will only join the euro when quote unquote europe was ready and of course that that is at this point very unclear when the state will be coming and also latvia has lost and boozy as it's changed its tone in terms of looking at the process of joining you be a euro now what this all underlies it goes back to the same point the

vulnerabilities the weaknesses that we see in the euro and from the outsider's point of view this is what they see they see contras in trouble needing bailouts and you have creditor countries imposed on the people and you have angry and desperate citizens. those countries and with that kind of a picture it's not entirely surprising that belgariad made that decision with the euro zone's troubles only escalating our business presenter katie has the latest market update from the region. and i've got my eyes pilled on the figures you can see just behind me i can tell you that the european market is all still declining also sentiments we have mooted the investors service downgrading the outlook for the european union for. burma is only e.c.b. this week to see what they're going to do in terms of a stimulus to maintenance and it's one of the business but us and i have the latest status. and also coming up we take a look at the election process in the u.s. as the democrats gather for the convention to officially declare obama their turn

here with r.t.m. karen tara going at it alone that's what's on the minds of a growing number of voters in canada's french speaking province of quebec this tuesday people are set to go to the polls to choose their government with the separatists gaining ground amid the country's financial turmoil and that's the situation i explained. gloomy economic times attracts social instability and uncertainty and what tomorrow will bring for canada's mostly french speaking province of quebec that means agitation for separation is stirring yet again as voters head to the polls it's a three way fight to be the dominant force in convex parliament with emotions running high come back as one hundred eighty four billion dollars in debt and has an economy that has grown by a mere one point seven percent in the last year falling behind canada as a whole competing at the ballot box are the incumbent liberals the firstly form

coalition for the future of combat and the separatist war and it's the latter which is proving most popular at the polls marching ahead of the others at around thirty three percent this means the issue of convex breakaway from canada could return to the forefront of the decade long reign of the liberals comes to a close it's the latest example of separatism spreading its wings globally in troublesome economic times the separatists leading in the polls claim their short term priority would be picking the economy up of its knees instead of pushing for a separation vote straight away the party leader says a referendum on convex independence would only be held if there was complete confidence in a win for now opinion polls suggest less than forty percent of the provinces population would support a split the new found was overkill back comes after months of student and union protests raging in mid summer and spring tens of thousands of students have made

their ways out onto the streets and shown their public outrage with clashes with police making news headlines across the world canada in quebec would fare without each other is a matter of fierce debate among experts we might now be much closer to finding out if they see churkin or moscow. canadian reporter michael phoria. growing a strange from the rest of canada with people left with little alternative than a separatist felt i think what it really comes down to is that the bankers will be choosing the lesser of three evils and for many people especially people the younger poppy population they feel that that helps you get back why is a move in the step forward maybe towards more of a progressive message in the province a lot of the polyp party politics you seem between the three parties they have very very many of the same policies in this and they're spending from the liberal party in terms of you know you saw the tuition protests going on a few months ago and they're even still going on now but i think what it comes down

to it people are just making a choice based upon dissatisfaction with the with all of the three major parties and when it comes to i mean austerity measures well yeah there have been cutbacks and but i mean i think that's been across the board for most canadian provinces in the sense in terms of you know the support of separatism across the province i think across the board of people really just don't care anymore i mean canadians used to care we used to care or you know if it was somebody in a bird or in terror we had family out there friends and they'd say to us you know are you guys really going to be voting to leave and i think even in the in the past few months we saw also was a poll done asking canadians you know do you care of chemical leaves and half of canadians said no we don't care. here with our team and coming up in a few minutes some death defying stunts. is using no safety equipment whatsoever during his regular extreme or on a crane over one hundred meters above ground in a few minutes we hear just why he does it. the u.s.

is reportedly taking further in direct action against iran to delay a possible israeli strike against the country although saying it will not back such an attack washington could be under pressure from israel to declare certain red lines over their program. reports. for some time now there have been indications that television might be considering a strike on terror around and that such a strike could be imminent what we're hearing now are rumblings from the american administration that it is putting all steps on the table that it is in point all steps short of war to try and prevent the israelis from going this route at the same time it is also trying to force to iran to take negotiations more seriously in these negotiations over its nuclear program that until now have stalled we are hearing from high ranking and named american officials that the united states and twenty five other countries will be participating in the largest ever mine sweeping

exercise in the gulf and that this is an attempt to prevent any kind of efforts by iran to block oil exports through the strait of hormuz was at the same time washington is completing a new radar system in qatar that will combine with already existing radar systems in two key and in israel met together these will form a board and team coverage now these developments out in the public but they do come on the back of rumors that are going on in private and that is that israel would never consider any kind of military action on iran and they said head american support whether or not this is true is impossible to say but certainly any kind of israeli action would result in a full scale regional conflict and at the same time the united states publicly not supporting the war is me trying to ensure itself against any kind of future israeli

action policy ought to have stephen zunes professor of politics and international studies at the university of san francisco thanks war with iran will devastate both sides. i think there is an awareness summit in god in the white house and elsewhere that war with iran would be a disaster i mean even putting aside the moral concerns the legal concerns about that subject on flicked the war games and other scenarios and then looking at all come out to the same conclusion the costs and badly outweigh the benefits and so the united states is concerned as they are about nuclear or about iran's nuclear program want to do whatever they can to avoid war the israeli general staff the time generals i've done some of the calculations of the pentagon has and recognize it is really a nonstarter that it would be a disaster for israel as well with unleash you know thousands of rockets into and

into israel iran so has a nuclear arsenal of missiles if you do a lot of damage and and certainly on balance israel could do more harm to iran that iran could be to israel and certainly would not send back their nuclear program to any substantial degree in fact if anything it would give the iranians a motivation to go actually branched off from once as far as we know so far as the billion program and to actually developing nuclear weapons. don't forget to log on to our website for the story and more. here's what you can find there right now the private e-mails of a mascara his book containing correspondence revealing how on they're spreading for his attacks is released and norwegian shops. and calls make storm watch the footage of a massive explosion on the sun and find out how it affected us here on earth all at heart dot com.
