i don't really trust the banks big or small and that confidence issue is going to be a problem going forward for banks of any size well the basil's three requirements were many years in the making basically after the crisis of the banks had a lot of time to professor why didn't they do it but you see the difficulty is that the banks were actually in a terrible scrabble for survival and they have been trying to prepare themselves for this but ultimately they've been too optimistic they were convinced at all points in time that the world was going to buy and buy effectively it hasn't they were convinced that they were going to see lots more money flowing into their coffers from multiple venues because that would be economic growth the op hasn't taken place so therefore as the debt crisis has got worse are rowing the euro and is the euro itself has left this sort of fetid stink in the air because of the of all that mess that is the greek economy and multiple other economies around the mediterranean and the euro zone itself banks are basically been left suddenly realizing that at the last that they've got to have this scrabble for cash and what
1:31 pm
they're going to be doing now is they're going to be sell anything armchairs asset eastern europe and bank subsidiaries you name it they are all going to be up for offer it what's going to be the incredible amazing discount sale of two thousand and twelve two thousand and thirteen oz western european banks try desperately to make themselves sufficiently solvent under what to be fair is a rather arbitrary new set of regulations which aren't necessarily in themselves going cura anything ok do you think as a final question patrick do you think there will be a unique unified e.u. regulates rebuilding for the banking sector. there are obviously great attempts to create this an obviously we already have a rip in banking agency that's trying to get into one of the biggest problems arky i would say is just money i mean we have one european banking regulator that's trying to regulate the whole european banking system it's called the e.p.a. and it's a total budget i think last year was barely ten million euros if you compare ten
1:32 pm
billion euro or even twenty million euro to regulate the whole banking sector when we're talking about the idea that the banking sector itself might be short of two hundred fifty six billion euros in power couple i'm not entirely but there is i mean the money aren't there to pay for what would be a european reg interest that would actually give everybody confidence that either the result will survive more indeed the european union itself has got an understanding of arced on how it's going to manage to manage commerce across the twenty seven economies let alone the euro zone itself going forward patrick and thank you so much for your comments and for your time. all right we apologize for that frozen video some move ahead and look at the markets u.s. markets are mixed and flat that's a regular jobless claims report showed a decline of twenty five thousand to the lowest level in a month still markets are under pressure correcting after a few days of gains apple is recovering up to the biggest one day drop in four
1:33 pm
years on wednesday when it dropped more than six percent now it's up one percent now europe is a bit for the second session with the dax gaining more than a percent led by health care and merck up her three point four percent each with as several of its products get approval for the european markets now the dollar is gaining ground against the euro and the best in expected jobs report the ruble is mixed accordingly losing value to the dollar winning to the euro and the russian markets are a bit of a mixed bag at the end of a session gazprom one of the biggest losers it's down one percent and that's out. investors are basically bracing themselves for more billions of expenses for the company indeed russia's gazprom on friday will start building the south stream pipeline which will bring russian gas to europe now this twenty billion dollar project is part of the gas monopolies plan to secure its supplies to the e.u. by bypassing ukraine and more details now from of course but another chance guys.
1:34 pm
south stream is definitely gas problems brainchild but of course a project of this size definitely requires partners and so far they are a state backed bulgarian company as well as italy's any germany's b.s.f. and france's electricity de france so you can really see that it's a huge project and so far so good if it hadn't been for this huge issue really this elephant in the room that's dogging every pipeline project destined for the european union and that's this so-called third energy package it for bid suppliers from also owning the transportation networks meaning of course the pipelines and that's exactly what gazprom was planning on doing in this project so it's not a surprise that gazprom is adamantly against these provisions. of. fields that somebody believes or so but again should. compete you should

start. before the market for the next for pipeline for its part the european commission really insists that the south stream odors before launching their pipeline will have to guarantee independent companies unrestricted access to the pipeline i had a chance to discuss this issue with the head of the international energy agency earlier this week i think it's absolutely necessary that the issue of seoul stand you know in russia's interest in a single market who wants to be a big player on this market so that means that you have to learn to to play according to the rules but of course i'm not a negotiator and so it depends on the negotiations between russia and to. the e.u. and most independent analysts we speak to also seem to think that regardless of how
1:36 pm
different the positions may be of the valid. points that both sides might have they will have to come to some kind of an agreement especially considering that they have a couple of years to do it while the consortium members are busy laying down the pipes another show they're reporting from gas from headquarters in moscow now finally credit suisse one of the foreign pioneers of the russian stock market is now shutting down its investment banking operations in russia the bank will be dismissing fourteen experts as part of the move and that's its biggest cut since the two thousand and eight financial crisis however the bank says the decision is expense cut driven and russia is no less of an investment priority for the bank is on capitalizing on russian business will continue from credit suisse is london office earlier this year it's in these unique credit bank and group closed brokerages in russia. that's it from the business team for now i'm back in two
