do and he announces tough new sanctions on syria it's highly symbolic the e.u. which is hardly a democratic party itself has announced these sanctions will hurt syrian people they will put back was the reform process in syria and you know there are democratic and i think the. it's quite ironic on this very day we also have the president nicolas sarkozy explain why we the european people are not going to be allowed to vote ourselves on the fiscal treaty he says it's too hard for us to understand so the e.u. which is claimed to be in favor of democracy is actually working against it. interesting a bit of news coming out as well about the opposition national syrian council reports of a split inside and there some members even leaving to create another group is the news we're hearing that if any of them came to power in syria how can they keep the country stable if they can't even agree on a way forward between themselves it begs the obvious question doesn't it or they wouldn't keep the country stable i mean many have to look at what happened in iraq when the west into th

committed to a written promise to stick by a steady after elections but that's still not enough for the e.u. which now wants financial moderators for the terms of the bailout are being followed or the greek president got on the spot pull us lashed out at the e.u. questioning what right countries like germany holland then fell and had to criticize greece british m.e.p. says it's all part of an effort to bring afghans to heel. what the e.u. is now doing it's trying to influence the outcome of the greek general election not satisfied with getting rid of the last democratically elected prime minister and putting a puppet in the forwards to papademos it now says it's now saying to the greek people unless you vote for the right parties the less you vote for parties that are happy to be subjugated do you control we will not give you the rest of the money and you will go bankrupt i suspect that despite the dissatisfaction that is felt by many german politicians i think the german parliament just as the greek parliament did last sunday will continue to toe the line and continue to say that buy it out so th

outlining concrete steps in certainty comes as greece again failed to meet conditions set up by the e.u. which led to the cancellation of a key meeting between euro zone finance ministers jacob graves reports from athens is showing just how far reaching this crisis in greece and also the euro zone now it in terms of achievement feels very least so you had quite a high ranking delegation heading there it was headed up by the president of the european commission the president of the european council as well as a manual but also. both of them despite that high ranking delegation didn't get any more guarantees apart from good imposed of was a chinese counterpart so know by now. sure interaction the thing guaranteed in terms of financial stimulus is really what they want the reason they're in china is because china has the money they need right now three point two trillion dollars reserve currency fund that could help stabilize the markets here understand why the chinese are somewhat wary of this investment because it can all make indicators are only really worsening also that to food at the moment

a written promise to stick by austerity all through elections that's still not enough for the e.u. . which now wants afghans to accept what it is to make sure it's following the terms of the bailout greece has already struggled to meet the terms that the idea of monitoring your response in some quarters british any. part of an effort to bring athens to heel what the e.u. is now doing it's trying to influence the outcome of the greek general election not satisfied with getting rid of the last democratically elected prime minister and putting in a puppet in the form of us to papademos it now says it's now saying to the greek people unless you vote for the right parties unless you vote for parties that are happy to be subjugated do you control we will not give you the rest of the money and you will go bankrupt i suspect that despite the dissatisfaction that is felt by many german politicians i think the german parliament just as the greek parliament did last sunday will continue to toe the line and continue to say the bailout so the answer as far as i'm concerned it's rather like saving the c

e.u. budget but i think this makes no sense. economies of scale and provision some of which can only be provided at a level of the e.u. so it was important to apply -- a difficult mentality we are working towards. it is important that the whole e.u. policy is done and becomes more growth-oriented and this will in the end generate some demand expansion across europe without which the purely supply-side reforms would not in themselves generate growth. >> let me ask you to elaborate on a couple comments you just made about the evolution of europe. you are now prime minister of italy but for a long time you have been one of the architects of europe. you have written many reports about the future of europe, not to mention your ten years implementing europe as a commissioner. as europe works its way through the current crisis what do you see as the medium to long run outlook for the european union as a whole and the future prospects of the integration exercise? many of us have observed europe has faced many crises ever five or six decades. some were existential. out of all of thos

e.u. summit, which has just terminated. of course you need to string them are links to syrian dissidents and we also need to seed to our extent we might build up and developed a humanitarian corridor as they've asked us to oen up. and referring back to the question the other day and arab league foreign minister, this is something they'll need to consider. how long can they stand by passively light of the violence endured by the syrian people? how much can we tolerate what every initiative is being brought down one after the other in the regime continues to massacre the syrian population? the president office of the council that is the intimacy we must address. >> translator: thank you very much. i would like to give to an advertiser of the social mocrats. transco thank you very much madam president. this is the european parliament's fourth resolution on syria. it's taught, robust resolution, but one aspect of its added value is that it communicates to the syrian people, the ata that we haven't forgotten them. even though no

e.u. embargo which is going to go through july first based on what the e.u. voted into place so yeah there are consequences and costs to saying there are costs to cutting off oil maybe it's time to take a harder look at what those consequences are we certainly want to we have dr levy here he's an authority on energy especially while he's also c.i.a.o. of lead capital management an author of this book red alert how china's growing prosperity threatens the way of american life dr levy it's nice to see you thanks for being on the show today thank you so much lorne yeah let's get straight let's get straight to this ok obviously there are concerns over iran possibly halting oil exports to europe we saw that with the reports that came out today but this is something that you have approved to begin july first already my question to you why wouldn't iran want to do this this is seems like a pretty little logical way that they would want to retaliate. well i think that for personal i don't think it's really a grave threat i think that fungible they will be able to eur

asked for help in saving the embattled euro which her chinese counterpart promised to look into charles a push for beijing to cut its ties to iran it comes as the e.u awaits the conclusion of which are are now greek debt talks and negotiations are key to our phones receiving a second bailout and are seen as its only chance to avoid default at the same time you leaders are working feverishly to force through unpopular financial legislation called the member of the european parliament for the u.k. independence party says the public won't like having its measures forced upon. it's only going to get worse i mean at the moment they're burning german flags on the streets of athens i predict it will be roll next and then there's been you never know it could be top lose world the tensions between the countries and particularly between the north of europe and the south of europe is only going to get greater and what you've got is you've got protests in the south and what we're seeing in the north is a political revolution where new parties are spreading in all euro skeptic parties gets better results than ever before the scary thing here that you have is on

e.u. states are calling for creating humanitarian corridors in syria which some fear could open the door to foreign intervention but asia times correspondent pepe escobar says it's already under way. there is already a foreign military intervention going on don't forget that nato they have a command and control center in her type province so than turkey so very close to the thirty syrian border this is a conduit for intelligence going back and forth across borders weapons of course and these weapons are financed basically by to go cooperation else especially the saudis but specially the qataris were actively involved with intelligence as well and with more on its arse and trainers on the ground plus they have another conduit through the lebanese border the syrian national council for instance they are supported directly by nicholas such goes in david cameron by the turkish government and by the qataris and there's also the free syrian army which even that i would see by analysts in europe see that it's not really any it's not an army it's a bunch of the realist infiltrated by people feel. t
