is really very sad when 50% of youth in a country like spain or greece or even now the new member, croatia coming on board, is without jobs. that is extremely worrisome. the restriction so far has been only on the monetary front. >> i want to get your thoughts about these european bank downgrades. you have three big firms that were hit and rely heavily on investment banking. what do you make of that? >> specifically, it was credit suisse, barclays, and i believe deutsche bank. all these three banks have had issues because 50% of revenues come from investment banking. as we know, whenever interest rates are going up in the world and there is so much uncertainty, there is so much regulations coming out, these banks will be the first to be hit. obviously moody's has downgraded these banks from a plus to a, to stable levels. i do not see more downgrades in the future. but the stock has reflected that. deutsche bank has been at the 41-42 level the last 12 months, in spite of the fact goldman sachs and other united states banks have appreciated considerably. >> what about the commodities market?

croatia has joined the european union after a decade of negotiations and at a time of financial crisis for the bloc thousands of people joined celebrations across the country but some residents say they are uncertain what benefits membership will bring prices are almost the same as in france germany and italy but the average croatian income is nowhere near what people take home in those countries economy needs a huge injection of funds to kick started sailing industries including agriculture shipping and construction. and this week saw the first piece of russia's revamped navy take to the seas the stern of a mistral class helicopter carrier built in russia's st petersburg shipyard is now awaiting its trip to france where the entire vessel will be reassembled. was a milestone launch from moscow. do you think. it. was a very fine round according to the deal signed two years ago this shipyard in st petersburg will play a vital role in the fabrication of vessels the section built here will soon had to france for completion before making the return journey to enter the service in russia's n

what tipped the balance is the arming of the croatia military and their conventional victory against the serbian forces. it does not include the balance of safe areas which are unenforceable, airstrikes were, which make very little contribution to the actual resolution of the conflict. there is only the full-scale arming and the victory of the croatian army. i am not sure who you envision playing the role of this army in this scenario. but it was not the army of insurgents great it was of the insurgents. at the end of that conventional military victory, there was debate in process in which we took this and legitimated it in power, made him a key part of the solution and he shows up many years later after kos about. basically what it involved was agreeing to the petition of the country and legitimated in the role of the architect of the massacres and being willing to wine and dine and not seek international justice. basically having now been forced through a major international peacekeeping operation with the overt acceptance of russia and the neighbors. if you're willing to go all th
