straight to the business we go there dimitri once again thanks for coming and. we were talking a bit earlier about the issue of spain i understand it's one of the troubled economy is but now according to the numbers it's showing some gains this hour well yeah this is a paradox isn't it but the thing is that there's a media report that a ban could be introduced on short selling in spanish banks so therefore basically a lot of investors see this as a good opportunity to bounce back because the financial sector has been hit really hard during those those past couple of weeks and we're seeing bank here as say up more than twenty percent and all together the spanish indexes up around point three percent driven by those financials whereas the footsie is now down one percent still worried actually about those spanish banks because moody's cut the ratings of sixteen of them including some down there whereas the frankfurt index of the dax is down just a quarter the. over here in russia things are looking much better than they did after the first the minutes of trade when

his presidency but political analysts dimitri babich believes this will change now. if you look at the economic ties between russia and these countries you will see a very clear picture burden is russia's biggest partner in europe and the european union is in general russia's biggest trading partner and in the former soviet union bella which is the biggest trading fog in the close of trading partners and they're going to discuss economy they're going to discuss their joint venture on production of drugs they're going to discuss privatization of the russian enterprises by russian business and i would say that quarrel. with bill it was there were more still on the line between will question and former president maybe buddha was always very cautious he never got involved in a very very. angry exchange awards that took place between me and will question and there is a lot less bad blood between them and they were made to be different if you noticed changed his tone towards the question during the last one and the hof years. just remind you got all our top stories covered

all right let's wrap up with loose change dimitris shanahan yes it has some serious v.i.p. status quo people that bankroll the u.s. and. the u.s. is relationship with china as its largest creditor has been the topic of political debate even saturday night jabs take a look. in fact now that i think about it all kind of street. yes. well now china and one point one seven trillion dollars in u.s. treasury has a much easier route to purchase more according to reuters the u.s. treasury has given the people's bank of china a direct computer link to its auction system so china is now these first foreign government they just can bypass wall street bypass primary dealers just go straight to the treasury buy more debt what it was like we just want to cut out the middleman we want to make sure that there is like you know straight to the vein. like the stars to me like what they're doing is they're taking the they're saying for everyone else that you want to get smacked you've got to go to the dealers in the street but if you're china if you're the u.s. and you want to get you want to

but i c's gave you get out see dimitri that don't leave each. one term in the kremlin was it too little time to make a dent mr medvedev is going to be remembered as someone who had genuine reform intentions and who was impeded on achieving all of those reforms through the political process through the structure of the political system. at the dawn of his presidency georgia attacked south is said here by the media and much of the world community blamed russia. who was in this case that only but he did the actions on the georgian side led to deaths among them a russian peacekeepers children women the elderly a dying in south a settler most of them are citizens of the russian federation those responsible for the deaths of our citizens will be punished missed. them the misconception that russia attacked georgia put serious strain on international ties into an independent council of europe report up out that georgia launched the attack for months madrid of foreign policy was overshadowed by the war but it wasn't long before a warming in u.s. relation

for two eight ghost said the falling as the economy tanks the loose change intro will change to dimitri and lauren tackling shannon when she takes the gold from the jar well first of all thank you for our next big idea when things really go south here's a reminder of what he's talking about. so the next time you're going to see us tackling shannon and shannon's response to us that she just informed me in my ear is bring it so thank you we will follow up with that meanwhile son man one thirty nine had a recommendation capital account needs to do an entire show on exposing the debt is a money monetary model in slaving the lives of every person on this planet if you show people how borrowing money into existence at interest is a process that only creates bankruptcy for the borrower but seized assets for the banking industry that people would finally rise up and create their own public banking system well i don't know about public banking system or what people rising up and you know would create ideally but i do see your point and i think that we should dedicate maybe a show to explaining r

as promised there's dimitri standing by the r.t. business center good to see you though bad news i understand the russian currency seeing a tremendous drop yes and this nosedive is becoming worse and worse pretty much by the minute war gets a bit later start with europe where we've also seen a reaction to the latest jobs dates of the past week the u.s. economy. as that of one hundred thirty three thousand jobs which is a bit better than in the previous month all together is showing a slowdown of pace since the first quarter compared to the first quarter but both markets are still in positive territory with a foot zero point four percent of taxpayers the barely there on also rumors of a creation of a new banking union the suggestion has been made within the european commission to help bail out banks and control the banking sector in europe over on the commodities market we are seeing a plunge following that employment data in the united states continues to decline we are seeing the worst world crisis since of last year and this is no

yes there you are dimitri and the russian markets taking a bit of a beating right now they are absolutely taking a beating we are seeing lows we haven't seen in two years three percent free and a half percent for russian indices this is really really bad and the bears are totally dominating is all selling no but just take a look at these figures over here the r.t.s. down three point four percent of my sex just over eight percent this out do you take a look at what's moving to my six you've pretty much get an idea the financials are the biggest drag given as burbank accounts for the largest part of volume on the market is down five point seven percent after several comments made by mario raju the head of the e.c.b. basically the regulator will not give up its standards and norms in order to keep greece in the euro zone there's also talk of the e.c.b. stopping the funding of suspending funding of several greek banks and this is sending a chill to the russian markets which have already seen a huge amount of capital for forty two billion dollars in the first twelve months and really this is n

straight to the business update for this hour dimitri good to see you again if you can you just clarify one thing for me why is it that spanish banks are rising while the whole world is falling because of them well there's media speculation that a short selling ban will be introduced for spanish banks so therefore it will not you will not be able to speculate again spanish banks will be able to buy your hold or basically sell what you have so therefore we seeing some spanish banks actually putting on more than twenty percent like bam here say meanwhile the dax is almost completely coming back to the closing values of the previous session of footsie is still a bit low on the back of moody's you know have cutting its roof sixteen banks that their ratings to a level which is creating a lot of worries coupled with worries about greg since now over here in russia it's much much better than it was at the beginning of the session with the my sex coming into positive territory when it was three percent down at the beginning of trading the r.t.s. is still slightly lower take a look at what is mo

all right let's wrap up with loose change shannon dimitry your audio better not cut out are writing to me. ok so unusually this caught our eye because kids being lured out of school out of college with lucrative contracts and perks has been athletes but oh look at the times with the technology boom it is a different crowd being lured this way take a look. yeah. baby . you could call him nerds or you can call him billionaires depending on your talking about but according to the wall street journal the technology industry is identifying up incoming engineers and software developers early then rolling out the red carpet to lock them up by a wining and dining and other giveaways on campus so does this really reflect the change in times that technology is where all of this growth is coming and where talent is really needed because these guys are actually producing things so the market proves that because they're pushing them out of college whereas these bankers are ivy league boys ok well why to boys who are the ivy league schools and they get poached they're full of goldman sachs j.p. morg

to increase the transparency of the russian government now this is something that was started by dimitri made get of this is going to be continued by vladimir putin and his. russian president now and also saying that he will raise the education of russia's bureaucrats and will root out any bureaucrats that fight to do the jobs that they doing same bureaucrats will also have to declare all of their incomes in an attempt to stamp out corruption in the country also we're going to see a system develop that will allow online feedback to be given to the police and security services so that anybody who has a particular grievance with law enforcement can voice their opinions in that forum in terms of the legal system in general what we are going to be seeing is made more accessible both physically and online we're going to be seeing web cams in court rooms that will broadcast the proceedings from their investigation has been launched into what happened during sunday's riots in moscow that saw many people several people injured several of the police officers that wounded in the clashes with prote

dimitri what do the figures tell us well the figures so is that everything is bad very much we're in a bear markets and it's hard to even imagine i pathetically the news that could turn things around for us to even see a rebound we haven't seen one in twelve sessions maybe the market is asking for it and the fact that it's not just negative closers of the market but the fact that you know stocks are trading all session long in the red really indicates that there is huge downside risk will tell you more about that in round fifteen minutes time in our business world. but escalating money troubles are getting in the way of the e.u. bureaucrats as plants later on in the program we examined how much cash is going down the drain. we look at how much it costs to stick a civil servant behind an desk compared to a chief executive at microsoft. in iran protests back to by the state have been organized against plans to form a european union style bloc amongst the gulf states two key american allies saudi arabia and bahrain would be the first nations to sign an agreement iran has called the idea

dimitri thanks very much indeed for that good to see you will see a little later here in r.t. now on in a few minutes here on the program we will be grilling the israeli deputy pm about what his country's government sees next for iran that's an all special interview coming away it will be after headline wrap up with me stay with us live here on r.t. .
