you know when the history of any culture there are some dark chapters throughout human history there's been war on every continent and religious strife and oppression every culture has some skeletons in their closet and in recent u.s. history the scandalous prison at guantanamo bay as making patriotic americans scurrying around a decade or so rather than slamming the door shut and get mall i hate that term condemning it as one of the greatest mistakes in american history and gloriously declaring on t.v. channels and newspapers the country wide that it shall never be repeated again the pentagon instead wants to blow another forty nine million dollars expanding it even if you are one of the types of things that american gulags are super cool and awesome do you realize it takes over one million dollars per year per prisoner to keep the place open are you sure you don't want that money to go towards something
2:31 pm
else like your children's education the thing that burns me up about this the most is that obama promised if elected to close guantanamo bay and as commander in chief of the armed forces he could do this whatever he wanted no amount of filibustering by the republicans could stop him obama you promised hundreds of millions of people to do something very simple start the paper work tomorrow buddy make the nation look better that's your job but that's just my opinion. news today. these are the images. from the streets of canada. showing up for

a show. my . come to business with me j.t. povey mischief day even here in moscow. the banking crisis aside for us was an unprecedented unexpected shock or was while perhaps not for everyone it's now come to light that one hundred thirty two wealthy individuals and companies removed their cash from cyprus banks conveniently before the conversation process began according to the popular cyprus based website sigma these well informed account holders were able to shift their cash up to fifteen days before the debacle rubbed it out also about pocket money millions of euros left the country in the days before the european officials imposed a tax on the posit on this list to the suspicion that these wealthy people were
2:33 pm
privy to information and that the cypriot thirteen day bank freeze wasn't such a secret after all. now if move on to the markets despite all these concerns surrounding the euro zone right now stocks are advancing by actually the most in four weeks as trading resumed after the four day easter holiday of course mobile operator vodafone has made gains of five percent in trading today and that of two rumors of a bank up bid put a premium on shares watching that one of the most that's probably the biggest story going on in the markets at the moment does wolf it is for you came out that you numbers and mortgage approval slipping to a five month low but as you can see on the screen we're looking at resilience right now today's figures are a check of wall street see we're happy you can see you are indeed gains once again about seven tenths of stand out for the dow jones of the nasdaq around ages they
2:34 pm
are indeed actively trading just now after a dismal display on the monday session as you can see is indeed gains and that's all centered around the fact that u.s. factory orders increased in february also want to add to the fact that health care providers are among the biggest gave years jump nearly seven percent in the last of the medical insurers one an increase in a key medicare payment rate which are interesting check out a rush of them and different kind of day it's a bit of a mixed session four tenths of cent down for the artist in the my so it's just not into positive territory to talk about stocks over energy majors gas brum ross hydro both down or she won a half percent disappointing corporate world talk about yearly performance check out the my so it's four and five point three percent in the first quarter so she was worse results in two thousand and eight can't see what the russian ruble did
2:35 pm
all right so got the u.s. dollar on the year actually managed to gain against the russian currency in the cheese day session that's how the markets look now all right euro zone unemployment has hit a low. record high of twelve percent the first time since the single currency was launched back in one thousand nine hundred ninety nine nineteen million people across the seventeen country block are now on employed artie's tests are said to go through the figures for us. when i was coming for me you will be here some are certainly not going to let me just see the worst of me on a whim and consider whether the market will be a sentiment february that's up from the eleven point nine percent in january that nineteen million people are now on board the seventeen nation euro zone area and if you look at the wider eat you get small twenty seven members and that number is a ten the point nine percent or ten point eight percent that's still not good that's about twenty six. point and also the number of registered but those are just
2:36 pm
for unemployment benefits that has it reached by one point seven million people in the euro zone area now let's just look at your comparison of the different countries or nod to doing so well at this point spain has an unemployment rate of twenty six point three percent but among the you that's a twenty five years old and below that number is a high as fifty five point seven percent portugal is at a seventeen point five percent with new unemployment at thirty eight point two percent and greece is at twenty six point four percent of this is a december figure that's the latest that the country has with you know unemployment is this high is fifty eight point four percent now looking at the other end of the spectrum the lowest rate is austria with four point eight percent and germany at five point four percent of the look at just the greece that continued in face of the unemployment rate in the years on this is the twenty second fiddle role certainly that this law goes well for the future of the euro zone if you're young and also the impact of the economy the certainly be felt up consumers
2:37 pm
a lot by the sweatshop assumption has gone down and also fewer jobs indicate to tell you where the circumstances in such a certain industries a small small and medium sized enterprises and of course an increase in those claiming unemployment benefits would mean a heavier burden on government coffers when it comes to social welfare but aside from the economic impact but there's also the fact that this is socially unsustainable economists have already pointed to the fact that continued social uprisings that we've already seen across europe for a couple of years. it's just not sustainable it needs to be but because of it to you that. part is about the sound i rather windy day in brussels and tessa that we had now we're going to top it because i only three day i have been to being seen jacob said to kind of a fax a bank i got his expert analysis on the ground the dismal thing is. as always with these high unemployment rates a number of reasons the one and vested demise of course is the huge amount of
2:38 pm
sturdy being implemented you have a very clear divide between the north and the south in unemployment but also in growth we only three months into the new year and growth has already been downgraded in the most of the club med countries and similarly receding that even countries in the call i call it is now seeing growth coming off so it's a combination of bad economics it's coming combined with the fact that the lack of reforms and the ability to create new jobs so do you think that is perhaps not the way forward that because it's clearly not working will be very tempting to draw that conclusion but of course is not the case i think you need a deal measures. a sturdy but also to we're going to supply side of the economy this means that you need to work on creating a better framework for creating jobs which is normally to do with lower tax rates lower brecker see access to funding which remains the main obstacles to growth in
2:39 pm
your of overall reports out this week and again that the peripheral countries is paying a much much higher net margin prize for lending for boring monod and anybody else so it's extremely difficult to access to credit markets only accentuate d.d.e. issues really haven't had at hand do you think more needs to be done them by europe a menace is to improve the situation. to be brutally honest i think a lot of the programs they're ones too they want to invoke on the european level of good in spirit and in nature but there's no funding for them so what's the fun and what is the good of having programs to have no additional allocation of capital attached to them so it's of the problem here is is small the fact that we have been doing this for so long that we have run out of time and also out of money the ability to create money out of nothing cannot continue so it's a catch twenty two where we either need to fail and we need to create some new vision for how europe needs to move forward. so the business now be back in less
