especially since hollande never followed through with his drive to renegotiate the fiscal pact. that did not happen. >> for germany, that meant sticking to the status quo. chancellor merkel met with the greek prime minister in october. she made it clear that austerity remains the number one priority, but her message is not popular with the greek people. >>>> i know that these reforms demand a lot from people in those countries that are especially hard hit by the crisis, but the efforts are not for nothing. they are worth it. the reforms are working. >> one has to admit that chancellor merkel is very successful in pushing through her own agenda, weather you like it or not. she makes compromises, but at the end of the day, germany's positions are visible at the european level. >> it seems germany is taking the lead weather germans want to or not. -- whether germans want to or not. merkel is pointing the way out of the year of crisis with a steady hand. she has stuck to her goals in 2012 -- to save the euro and greece without compromising germany's financial stability. >> how alive

journalist joins us live from strasbourg thanks for joining us here in our president hollande said france will protect its interest in the central african republic what are those interests well it's quite interesting he said that the french army which has a base in central africa and republics was not there to protect a particular regime which must have come as quite a shock to the regime seeing as it was them that gives the press the french permission to have a base there talk. and the interests are of course you're right you know there is uranium mine in the state of the country. there is a certain amount of preview with central african government because the french actually suspended operations because of the fall in the price of uranium after the disaster in japan and said that it was unprofitable then they were going to put it on hold out of course most of pockets of the central african republic in government and i don't think president bush was very happy about that there may be friction because that i don't know. but basically because of president hollande statement this morning i

the protests come as a unit is agreed on closer integration in brussels french president francois hollande said there's no doubt about the integrity of the eurozone which will no longer be taken by surprise but investment advisor petro young believes the euro's continued existence is a facade all spain has simply run out of cash. the problem is that the spanish government doesn't have any money and that told me the problem the difficulty with the spanish government is that it hasn't actually wanted to to bite the bullet for the most of all areas in which it's been deficient for many many years admitting one could say that was the previous government run rather than the current government however the truth is there is no money to pay all of these nurses and doctors there is no money for this loutish government infrastructure it has to be privatized sold off and there have to be stoppage culp's because truly spain has spent the last decade living on the never never it was built on the back of a huge property bubble the bubble was unsustainable nobody managed to manage that unfortunately whil

. >> chris van holland, ranking committee. always good to see you, good morning. >> good to see you this. speaker boehner's plan b is the latest example of the gop walking out of negotiations. so what will happen today when plan b comes up for a vote. >> that's exactly right, chris. what you see is speaker boehner has decided to leave the talks, leave negotiations with the president and try to pass this plan b which is going nowhere. the president has already said he would veto the legislation. it's another attempt to try to shield very high income earners from the fiscal cliff at the expense of the rest of the country. what's happening here is that speaker boehner cannot sell a reasonable compromise to what is a very right-wing, extreme, tea party caucus, and that's why a proposal that all objective parties would agree is the reasonable compromise and the one that the president has put on the table cannot make it through the house right now. that's speaker baener's assessment and he's walking away from the table and he's tryi

oh bill i'm terribly sorry this is the french president mr hollande you're talking about integrity and encouraging investors only two weeks ago this is mr holt who was about to wage economic war in the entirety of india because lakshmi metal the most successful man in the history of steel making had the temerity to suggest that he wanted to close some production and friends because the french workers weren't productive this is a man who oversees an economy where fifty seventy fifty seven percent of the french economy is run by the government that's not an economy that's not capitalism that's more like something that would have had you parading around red square in one thousand nine hundred five come on realistically and seriously of course the european union's political classes are all running around at the moment telling us that everything's fine they all signed like the end of a mozart offer a scene there the rather groovy morality tale that finishes off the grid off or attic works put ultimately is the european union cohesive and i think that terrible tragic problem is as a triggs o

anybody who was not from england originally or from holland, they were all discriminated against. the whole majority of natives were discriminated against. people from india were immigrants and had gone there to find work and for a better life, they were all discriminated against. >> i see. >> they were not allowed into so many things. that is why there is this incident from his life about how he started reading the bible and was fascinated by the sermon on the mound. he wanted to go and then see for himself how the christians worshiped and practiced their religion. he went to this church. there he was stopped. this was in south africa. he was stopped by this gentleman and told to go, if he wanted to worship, to a church down the street which was reserved for the blacks. >> yes. he again felt the discrimination discrimination. >> discrimination. >> he became a social activist in a sense. that was his epiphany, his rosa parks moment. we'll talk more about that after this break. >> welcome back to mosaic. with me is father charles who is a priest in the arch diocese but also is talk

study has been conducted every four years since 1995 by an international academic society based in holland. about 500,000 students and 60 countries and regions across the globe took part in the 2011 test. a total of 8800 students from japan took the exams. they were fourth graders and eighth graders. japanese fourth graders scored better on average than four years earlier in both math and science. the science scores of the eighth graders also improved but math remained unchanged. the latest test results don't reflect their interest in future occupations. many students say they enjoy studying math and science but when asked whether they want a job for which knowledge of math or science is required, only 20% of eighth graders said yes. this is about 30% lower than the international average. one expert is pointing out society's need for math and science skills. >> translator: i think if everyone in a society emphasizes the importance of science and math, children will also understand that learning these subjects is important and useful in the real world. >> japanese children once dominated th

chris van holland joining us from the capitol. thank you very much, congressman. >> good to be with you. >> do we know nothing from the secret talks? >> well, we don't know a lot, andrea, but you presented it very well in that lead-in there. there are a couple of things that have changed. number one, you now have the face-to-face meetings between the president, the speaker of the house. that's obviously good news. always better than not talking. sending, you have this growing awareness on the part of congressional republicans that their earlier position was unsustainable. the idea that they would allow the economy to go down the tubes, allow tacks to go up on virtually every american all in order to protect the bonus tax breaks for high income earners. more and more republicans are recognizing that that's not sustainable. so that's moving us in the right direction, and hopefully we can get it done by the end of the month. >> now, the end of the month, the calendar does matter here because there are house and senate rules that requ

the leaders of the countries, angela merkel and francois hollande, stood up together in a gesture of unity, prompting more applause. later, barroso priase -- paised the eu's -- praised the eu's democratic principles. >> it is based on the free consent of states to share sovereignty. >> van rompuy said the states should remember those principles now during the debt crisis. he also expressed pride in being a european in his non-native language of german. not all european leaders were there to share the glory. british prime minister david cameron was notably absent. >> we're joined here in the studio by a political scientist from the european council on foreign relations. i would like to ask you to map out for us the reasons why the you got this very prestigious prize -- the eu is very prestigious prize. >> it is the only institution that managed the transition from several non-democracies to democracy. it is the first revolution in history without blood. i think that is largely worth the nobel prize, not counting the decades before or after 1949. >> some say this award is not justified

. >> but president hollande did not get everything on his wish list. germany insisted that smaller banks, which make up a large part of its banking system, be overseen by national authorities, and it got its way. >> it is important to have a clear division between banking supervision and monetary policy. >> the supervisor will begin work in march, 2014, and be responsible for banks holding more than 30 billion euros in assets. the deal should ensure european taxpayers no longer have to foot the bill when financial institutions find themselves in trouble. >> i'm very satisfied. contrary to expectations, the 27 finance ministers have managed to save the european council. >> as for the question of who will succeed john graja and kurt as head of the eurozone, that is something members -- jean-claude junkecker as head of the eurozo, that is something members still have to decide. >> is this decision basically admitting that national governments are no longer able to keep their countries' banks in line? >> no. first of all, it is admitting that if you have a
