and welcome to our team karen taraji broadcasting to you live from our studio in moscow where it is five o'clock well the latest financial blow to the e.u. comes from moody's they ratings agency has changed the blocks outlook from stable to negative warning it faces being downgraded modi said the decision reflected the issues of the use key budget contributors are dealing with earlier this year the ratings of germany france britain and netherlands were switched to a negative outlook that's despite relentless meetings between the e.u. leaders which have so far failed to deliver any solutions reports claim that the troika of international leaders want greece one of the most jet stricken countries to work six days a week and longer hours to fulfill their financial obligations investment advisor

patrick young believes it's the bailouts that are dragging europe down. 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 year old are being stopped. because of the fact that there has been transferred so much money to the profit incompetent government 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 a show is going to be sucked into the euro because they've pledged to join it because they are extending to the european union next year that would be a suicide move for any nation that wants to join ultimately the cross for its 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 in the meantime one of the countries which has been longing to join the euro bulgaria has curbed its and those years on and shelved its plans to finally having qualified to join parties says arsole reports on why the poorest member state decided to turn its back on the single currency. bulgaria is posing the latest blow to the embattled currency know it has put on hold its long held plans of joining the euro bloc an 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 the changing of public opinion in bulgaria people there asking the very same questions to the citizens of credit euro zone countries are asking who else are we going to bail out 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 the measures cuts in pensions and wages and you know for the last year especially the term 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 has 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 bulgaria made that decision in syria the ongoing bloodshed is provoking a large scale humanitarian crisis the un says around one hundred thousand escaped the conflict last month the largest number so far most of the escapees are now in turkey but the authorities have closed the border to those with no passports as camps swelled by more than eighty thousand people parties post leader has the details. at least ten thousand syrian refugees for the easter week have been stuck

on the syrian side of the syrian turkish border and this is because ankara is simply unable to process the growing numbers of people who are fleeing syria to turkey there are already eighty thousand syrian refugees inside turkey and because of frayed that these figures could swell to at least a half a million has been complaining that the international community is not doing enough to help it and to this indeed it is calling for a so-called safe zone or a buffer zone to be created inside syria and what we understand is that such as zone would extend some twenty kilometers inside syrian territory but the problem is that to create any kind of humanitarian zone you need first to have a no fly zone in which it certainly suggests foreign intervention and there has been a lot of criticism about this from the international community certainly the united nations security council has not given its nod when and where brought this up in the past but we do understand that anchor is going to ask the u.n. security council later this month to create this buffer zone it is highly unlikely

that russia and china will give its nod to the situation in these refugee camps is a crisis in jordan itself we're looking here at one hundred eighty thousand refugees who are already in the country and the authorities there just like and able to cope jordan has its own lack of water at the same time there have been various incidents where some of the refugees have had clashes with security police who prevented them from leaving the camps now it's been quite some time in those camps talking to some of these refugees and i can back up from firsthand experience what they as well as what humanitarian organizations are saying what the refugees told me is that the sanitation is far from satisfactory that very often they are standing in queues for hours waiting for food there are not enough tends to go around people are sleeping on the streets i spoke to a number of women who were complaining of sexual harassment one person perhaps put the bits tito. neither him and his family had fled syria to escape death but here

in the refugee camps they were dying a slow death at the same time there are concerns if you just need a spark to erupt into flames there are concerns particularly from the jordanian authorities that they could be rioting we heard this warning go out today there are also concerns that they could be further clashes so the main concern at the moment is that the situation is so volatile you could lead to even bigger humanitarian catastrophe and political analyst. turkey's initiative to introduce buffer zones inside syria acquiring military intervention could backfire. of course the cost for turkey would be quite hard to show and we have to remember that this story is very much the group of the united states. that started. this should it is.

as a policy of the united states. it's much. guys. as it was before so it's clear that that is a big issue which was not. on the way the battle for the white house democrats and republicans heads as the u.s. presidential race descends into a verbal duel the details in a few minutes plus hanging high. to me it's a plan there's some new level of ability to become a kind of superman extreme exploits are the latest death defying sport craze of russia we find out why from the very people who deal with. the. latest opinion polls are just process the. no independence party kept a quality is the front runner in the regional government election parent has cut

back as the polling stations make their final preparations before opening our t.'s and us to see a truck going up looks what's driving separatists moves in the french speaking region. 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 back 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 over come back comes after months of student union protests raging amid 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 how canada and come back 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 for eon says convert is growing a strange from the rest of canada but people left with little alternative than a separatist vote. i think what it really comes down to is that the backers will be choosing the lesser of three evils and for many people especially people the younger popular population they feel that the why is a move in the step forward maybe towards more of a progressive message in the province but i think a lot of the paul party politics you seem between the three parties they do they have very very many of the same policies on this and people are just making a choice based upon dissatisfaction with the with all of the three major parties 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 board of people really just don't care anymore i mean canadians used to care we used to carry 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 polls it was a poll done asking canadians you know do you care of chemical leaves and half of canadians said no we don't care to bihari now where a civilian court has up held the military ruling that found twenty opposition leaders guilty plotting to overthrow the government lawyers for the activists say they may still appeal the verdict which handed down life sentences ryan has been shaken by pro-democracy protests since february last year but police crackdowns on their children leaving sixty people killed. marzouk a prominent member of baf reigns largest opposition party says the ruling monarchs are determined to keep all the reins of power. this just this situation and.

being the star didn't really know good and. just do it efficiently that people. don't. believe the only thing that will make people. this. demands. people to be part of this system. to be part of the executive don't they need to. know just who they want to and then get. pushy like this they want to be security is. used against them. because they're doing. a whole world the whole of this is all of these that they want to continue. this all from the last you cannot you cannot be.

right it's a quarter past the hour here in moscow time for some more international stories and very cambodia is set to extradite gottfried wark a co-founder of the file sharing website the pirate bay who was arrested there last week and international warrant in warchus name was issued in january by his native sweden after he failed to show up for the start of his one year jail term war again his pirate bay colleagues were sentenced in two thousand and nine and ordered to pay four and a half million dollars to entertainment giants for copyright theft. two nights of sectarian clashes in northern belfast have left at least sixty police officers hurt violence erupted on sunday after a catholic republicans paraded near districts of the city may may have had but it protestants rioters threw bottles bricks at fireworks forcing police to fire rubber bullets and water pattern in response sectarian violence tends to break out

chief which turned the service but survived the blast no one has yet claimed responsibility for the attacks so far there has been a series of similar attacks throughout afghanistan most of them are being blamed on taliban militants. and america the pre-election war of words between republicans and democrats is heating up ahead of november's presidential vote barack obama's party is convening to formally nominate nominate him as their candidate and hit back against criticism from their opponents republican mitt romney's camp has accused the incumbent leader of failing to deliver the promised results on tackling high unemployment and recovering from recession but the democrats claim the country's better off now than when it was when obama stepped into office the president's currently tied with his challenger in public polls though some observers doubt either mankin change things for the better. way to think about

what's happening to america and essentially the north atlantic coalition in general is that things are getting very very much worse somewhat slow and if president obama were elected they would get much worse continued slow rate and if president if there were a president romney that would get much worse at a quicker i mean that's essentially the way to look at it the shift of money and power from the bottom to the top would accelerate under romney the condition for working people for women for. you know communities of color that are subject amassing incarceration for. countries abroad that are plagued by drone strikes we get much worse under mitt romney and they're already going to get quite bad under president obama don't forget you can always find all of our stories that are. more news and in-depth analysis available twenty four seven including

let's cross our business desk now and get all the latest market action from thanks karen well of course we're looking at europe and how investors are reacting to the fact that moody's investor service downgraded its outlook and also warned you could lose its aaa debt rating all of this is of course for and fears about the euro zone once again if we can take a look at the latest numbers will see it's all in the right foot seas losing over half a percent of the german slightly behind as you can see but also we know that this has added mounting pressure and fact on the european central bank to take action and activate those they will as measures and this is exactly what investors want a year about we've seen in the recent months every time there's been an announcement like this we've seen the markets plunge or let's move on and take a look at switzerland this is what i'll talk about right now and that's because after months of surprising resilience to the economic downturn in europe the

country now appears to be on the brink of recession after a strong performance earlier this year the swiss economy contracted zero point one percent in the second quarter and that's as i explored studio euro zone fell that's the first drop since the third quarter of two thousand and eleven when the swiss national bank imposed a frying ceiling to help protect the economy. while a second look at currencies and see what's happening with the euro dollar and ruble when it comes to the euro it's still losing against the dollar extending those losses this hour in fact when it comes to the ruble and it's extending the gains against both major currencies this hour i mentioned the group of us take a look at the russian the markets where it's been a volatile trading session we've seen both forces be in negative territory them both in positive and now we see it's a mixed picture of the r.t.s. is gaining about a third. percent and the my sex is lose in just a notch all of this of course we had week of performance on the asian markets and later on in the day we're still expecting to a year about us manufacturing data of course on monday the us markets were closed

for labor day celebration so we'll see what happened futures are indicating that it will be a mixed picture in the first few minutes of the trading again we'll see what happens there now let's talk about oil prices which always have a major factor on the russian economy and this hour it's a mixed picture with there were a decline there were increase and i should say we satellites were destroyed in close to ninety seven dollars per barrel and the broader blend is at around one hundred fifteen dollars we know about prices going up and that's an optimism that central banks will take action of course some analysts do always say that when we do get a downgrade it is a good thing because it will stimulate the european central bank and leaders to take action which is what investors want to hear about now when it comes to gold it advance to its highest level in about five months and that's a global economic data back to the of course the case for foreign measures by sundra banks who see that gold is losing about seventy two cents this hour and silver i believe last hour said it's gaining seven dollars you know that is it was

seven point zero seven there and this hour is just dropped by zero one zero one one there now i want to talk about easy jet because this is a story i really enjoy it's about fly it's about becoming cheaper perhaps a flight from london to moscow or even st petersburg could become a lot less as britain's easy jet aims to turn its wings to russia the low cost carrier plans to launch regular flights between the cities as soon as next year however it still needs to win its hundred for that routes with virgin atlantic and british airways among other bidders and will know all there is salt of all this in about a month. now free market rules for still makers may in fact that results in them reduce improvises to compete with foreigners all. this comes of course after russia's membership in the world trade organization and this will lead to lower profitability amid rising local tariffs on energy and transportation but we

spoke to alex him of the shelf was of course the c.e.o. of one of the biggest film makers in the world that is civil star and he said with time this could actually be very beneficial for russian companies this way here to say. we believe that steel industry. doing business growth numbers you know of course. there is a movement of russians do. so there are some specific issues do you solve for example in birth of. your bill of goods from ukraine or an export of. the united states. a decision and all soon it's important to mention that. doesn't believe. immediate role for russians do mostly but it could be on a longer run strong. russian a global economy grows which you do you really usually want was due to our benefit sure. and in the coming days we'll have lots of exclusive interviews from the asia
