are so many leaders in the euro zone you know seventeen countries is in the euro itself and more or countries in the e.u. even if everyone decides to act at the last second there is no guarantee of habits because you have this tremendous problem of coordinating various national interest and point and i want to bring this up there are some rumblings i guess you could say that the international monetary fund is in the process of coming up with a plan to step in and help out at least with italy there is talk of a six hundred billion euro assistance package though the i.m.f. is denying this but i want to get your take on what you think would be some of the consequences of the i.m.f. getting involved here. well the first thing to realize is it's hard to believe that the i.m.f. has that kind of money. but right now the fund just as you know has to borrow money from the e.c.b. in some kind of way they were going to do anything like that and right no that being denied but i think the broader point is the last few days it's seen a real flurry of rumors about you know something big happening whether it's for the

secret even cool what it looks unlikely that the european arrest warrant itself could come under scrutiny is that something the e.u. would welcome. yes i would welcome dr you know i do think the european arrest warrant should come under scrutiny because they're just being abused for political purposes because when you know the song was in sweden he did go before a court there should not allowed him to leave sweden once he was there he should be tried if the told there was a case against him and then he was allowed to come here to england. and i believe that there was pressure put on the swedish government perhaps by the american government or by other governments or who were embarrassed as a result of the revelations that we could be exposed to the international community and i believe the duct is why you tried to get to make sure there is very great concern here in the united kingdom. extraditions to the united states because many people believe that they would not get to fear here in india nightsticks in current thank you very much as jim curran that talking to us outside the high courts where julian assange has
