ask italy. wait, don't ask italy. now, the european central bank could solve this problem by printing lots of money, but germany doesn't want to because after world war one, they printed so much currency that inflation exploded and just to buy a left of bread, people had to fill a wheelbarrow with money. ironically, the price of a wheelbarrow was an ox cart full of bread. [laughter] flg this economic chaos brought about the rise of the nazi party, so basically germany is saying to the rest of europe, we're mild-mannered bruce banner now, but if we're exposed to the gamma rays of inflation, we could become fascist hulks. [laughter] don't make me hitler. you wouldn't like me when i'm hitler. and for some reason poland takes germany's "we might become nazis" thing pretty seriously. their finance minister said this crisis could lead the war in ten to 20 years. ten to 20 years. and that's in celsius. folks, europe has been torn apart by war so many times, and for it to happen again would be so wonderful. because world war

asking italy to trim its budget deficit. tax collection and decrease spending if not if they cannot do is. guess what basically what you see you. and italy seems to have given in a little bit. with the situation right now in italy has much choice. well you know you mentioned dropping out of the euro zone in fact there are growing calls from other european countries for the struggling states apart from italy there is also spain and portugal. to leave the euro zone but is this actually likely to happen given that there is technically there is no mechanism for leaving the euro zone is there. well i don't think it will happen because of one thing only if these countries like greece spain. italy portugal stay in the eurozone they can finance their national debt much more cheaply if in. italy is paying something like five point six percent for a ten year or five year noakes if they if they drop out of the euro zone people may have to pay up to ten percent so that is a big big difference and politically economically i don't think dr

return, the chinese government asked the spanish government to support their removal of arms sales ban in china. i am pretty sure that if china provides any kind of funds to italy and spain, and they will ask the same kind of condition. >> apart from lending to these debt-riddle economies, but china's want to invest. do you think that the americans and europeans will allow the chinese to invest their cash, which totals $3 trillion in foreign exchange currency reserves in their companies? >> i think there's no restriction for the chinese government to invest in any kind of assets. i think probably the chinese government will probably choose this moment to make some investment, but the point here is this -- this is a crisis. europe faces a serious crisis. and the chinese government will seize this opportunity to take advantage of this opportunity. of course, i think they will provide some funds, but in return, they will have their political objectives in mind and they will ask for something in return. i think the biggest thing is that for removal of the arms that wassales ban to china emimposed 15 years ago. >> we would like to thank you for joining us on bbc "ne

countries like china like greece and italy from the euro zone have approached china asking for money they have. some countries in europe sort of approach to russia but that which is of publicly except for one and that was cyprus and. in the f.c. on thursday if memory was well there was a very interesting article which is of course published in russian abilities international publications and showed that your view was mostly read out of russian newspapers there was an article about russia coming through q cyprus. cyprus called for it said it's a help talking about super in five billion and that's b. billion dollars. money for cyprus now why cyprus statistically it's an interesting paradox which i was called political rather than economic cyprus is the biggest foreign investor in russia now having said that we all realize that cyprus is an eagle shows own and in fact when we talk about the money from cyprus being invested in russia we are basically talking about russian money which has been moved to cyprus and then comes back to russia proper but that's an interesting example how russi
