anomic crisis and golf in europe france has also been shaken dramatically you've mentioned that stat is an enormous budget deficit is to be in this situation how dangerous is this situation actually and when and why it all went wrong and who's responsibility or whose fault is all this the problems that could emerge the problem is that the french people were robbed of all their major powers in the area of economic fiscal and budgetary policy taxation diplomacy and military policy all these powers were transferred to someone else. and may ask who are these people those are there is the european commission in brussels the european central bank in frankfurt it handles the euro so this institution also pushes policies that lead to recession and finally nato and the i.m.f. which is based in washington d.c. they also impose financial diplomatic and military policies on all european countries a good example is the european approach to the situation in the middle east the syrian crisis it's very good that you mentioned syria and libya let's discuss a little bit france's foreign policy at the

all around the globe france is home to the biggest muslim community in the western europe around five million people is there anything that they too could be inflamed . i think that it's quite possible that some french muslims are shocked and rightly so i believe most of them are shocked i don't think it can lead to mass demonstrations though but since you mentioned it i'd like to elaborate on the issue personally i'm shocked that in western philosophy there's a will to confuse freedom of expression with obvious insults to other religions i think this is all part of the course that i disapprove of it's not only about islam you know what happened in russia with the widely covered pussy riot case it's not only about freedom of expression there are agencies organizations anglo-saxon power groups that are behind it poor thing all oil on the flames i can see that freedom of expression is regarded differently in different countries here in france we use what we call two sets of standards is often becomes a target for criticism but muslims themselves don't criticize other religions they don'

probably do to sheridan's evidents, and also due to events in europe, france's emperor, napoleon iii, withdrew his support of maximilian. maximilian's regime collapsed and the mexican insurgents that sheridan had supported, took control of their country. sheridan was a military governor of texas and louisiana during the early phases of reconstruction. the army commanders in the south were caught between congress' harsh reconstruction policies and president andrew johnson's opposition to them. most of them kept a low profile. sheridan did not. urged on by grant, he alone removed elected officials who defied congress' policies. fired scores of them. from city alderman to the governors of louisiana and texas. consequently, president johnson removed sheridan as military governor. he was commanded to lead the troops on the plains. it was here that sheridan began prosecuting with brutal effectiveness, the strategy that he implemented in the shenandoah valley. one of total war. the work the shenandoah valley was a milder form of an older warfare that did not distinguish between soldiers and

europe, france, largely because northern europe, southern europe, the left always wants to pick the north, the right always wants to pick the south. i always want to pick a german as the neutral territory between. i think france is essentially flat during that period. germany is down for 5%. japan is way down like 10-15% in total hours worked. it's not from a lack of people, if you will. 25 to 30, 35% more hours per working age adult than they do. it's not that it is a logical often take vacation because you can take vacation here if you want. i think we are using restrictions on number of hours worked, to work over more people. it's just a matter of vacation you wouldn't see come in 2007 when u.s. unemployment was essentially zero, they still have very high unemployment, of their young people. you think the one place where you would want the low young employment is with young people who will take over over the next 50 years or so but i think you have to look and say something bad was going on, something that if you your druthers i don't think he would've picked that. >> host: japan i thi

drought, frost, and hail combined to damage many vineyards across europe. france's grape harvest is expected to fall by 20% compared to last year. italy's grape crops is showing a 7% drop. europe's grape harvest is a global impact because it accounts for more than 60% of the wine produced worldwide. >>> from wine to food. how do you decide if a food is fresh enough to eat? most people go by the sell by or used by dates. you might be surprised to know that the -- weeks after fired. fox's theresa priola has details. >> reporter: who hasn't been there? you're preparing a home cooked meal and go to the fridge for that one crucial ingredient. only to find it's past the use by or expiration date. so is it still good? >> if it's in the fridgey dare, i'm assuming it's still okay. it smells okay. >> too risky. >> yeah, and they have like growing bacteria like who knows, you know. >> reporter: this is a topic of great debate, something that is studied in depth. >> i studied eggs weeks afterwards and they're still fine. >> reporter: dr. michael hanson said there is a big diffe

absolutely turkey here is acting as a cast for nato behind turkey stand the old colonial powers of europe britain france. italy and of course the usa and also some rich arab monarchies such as katara and some of the arabia those powers turkey is trying to curry favor with those powers because it's looking for two things turkey is one wants to get in desperately to the e.u. and turkey also wants to become the hub of a proposed new oil and gas pipeline running from the middle east into southern europe so it's trying to curry favor with the western powers by recklessly. saber rattling and raising tensions in the middle east now syria's foreign ministry has accused the prime minister and go on lying what they try to gain by deceiving us all. well i don't believe that syria has any thing to gain by antagonizing its neighbor turkey but on the other hand i believe turkey has everything to gain by antagonizing syria. as i said. the turks are part of a game plan by the west to overthrow the regime in syria and in that way use syria as a stepping stone towards levanon and iraq and eventually russia and china the

. >> in europe, germany and france say they want to find a " complete solution" for greece to stop itoing bust and keep it in the europe. the countries' finance ministers say the issue must be settled in november to end the uncertainty. >> meanwhile, german chancellor angela merkel has been meeting the bosses of international financial organizations in berlin. they agreed the world recovery is highly fragile. the imf's christine lagarde said both businesses and governments need to make more of an effort to generate growth. swiss bank ubs is gearing up to cut about 15% of its workforce over the next three years. it is hoping for a radical restructuring that will help it return to profitability after what was a disappointing third quarter. >> that's right. the lion's share of the layoffs will be in the company's struggling investment banking unit, which has been hit by a series of costly blunders in recent years. >> swiss bank ubs is deep in the red. bad investments have cost the bank more than 36 billion euros. they are hoping cutting 10,000 jobs and their investment business will help

isn't working to be frank look at the problems in the south of europe and even france and germany are going into recession the e.u. is not working it's hurting the economy it's creating unemployment and we're seeing the decline of europe because it's controlling approach makes business regulation uncompetitive and it just damages the economy and we see the growth of the southeast asia and other countries such as brazil where the economies are growing because they haven't followed the european union's model of over vague elation and excessive interference the e.u. is creating unemployment and it's better off that countries were to take back control of their own affairs and have their own currencies that suit their own best interest of the euro as well as the e.u. is a failure ok david i mean maybe it would say in theory more europe is necessary to save the union in the euro but how do you sell that to people saying all we're getting is austerity i mean how do you square the circle. it's very difficult i mean this is probably almost impossible to square the circle because all those all

northern europe, belgium, france is where the market for this meeting is. >> who tipped off to this story> i was in the middle of nevada and and as smart horse advocate named laura lee said, you should look at the horse field program and see if anything is slipping out of there, because they will not tell us. we of asked the bureau of land management and it will not give us a straight answer. so we started digging that documents using the freedom of information act. what should was so start immediately. most of the people who are buying horses from the government are buying one or two to be used as a companion animals breed this guy was buying truckloads at a time, sometimes up to 240 horses and one purchase. he accounted for 70% of their sales. >> how much is the purchasing them for? >> they only cost $10. >> alive or is costs $10? how much to the way? >> anywhere between 700 pounds to 1,400 pounds. the government spends thousands of dollars to gather these horses, then ship them to tom davis for free. oftentimes the trucking bill is $5,000. >> where is his farm? >> he lives and a beauti

europe. focusing initiatives on france and germany. >> today war between germany and france is unthinkable. this shows a well maintained effort and confidence that former foes can become close partners. >> what's now known as the european union expanded rapidly. the fall of the berlin wall led to eastern europe's country joining. and it was something the european commission president also focused on today when he gave his reaction to the award. >> european union was able in six countries to reunite almost all european continents. freedom, democracy. rule of law and respect for human rights are the ones that people all over the world aspire to. >> but the e.u. has won the peace prize in the midst of an acute financial crisis which has led to violent demonstrations in greece and spain. in europe, all divisions are reopening. perhaps that's why the european -- the nobel committee wants to boost it, prevent it from fragmenting. >> well, it's turned up a lot of discussion. we'll be going to the self-appointed capital of the e.u., brussels in a moment. first of all, we're going to catch you up on

south of france is one of europe's most popular tourist destinations, but few people actually have my say on their mind. france's second-largest city has always had a bit of a dodgy reputation. drug trafficking and crimes is big in marseille, just like in any of the port city, and the gangs that dominate the scene have been involved in a brutal war for months now. more than 20 people have been killed since the beginning of this year. >> the northern district of marseille are rundown and neglected. drug gangs rule supreme here. they control entire housing estates, guarding the entrance is. we would not have dared to come here unaccompanied. the streets are no go areas. normally camera crews are driven away forcibly. we have a former police officer with us. he investigated crime here for 20 years. he and his colleagues were not often successful, but they managed to catch some dealers. over time, he got to know their methods. >> look to the left -- that is a place where they sell drugs. there's one of the lookouts waiting for customers. the lookouts watch to see which cars drive by. the

yes i mean some of the factors in europe are still the same france is pretty much behaving like it behaved one hundred fifty years ago england is behaving that way. russia will see but one country that has really changed and they mean there is this guilt complex we can say it openly still from world war two and we believe if we just give up sovereignty and german interests we will have europe but that is a little the jumpers a little softer so to say i mean less germany doesn't mean more europe. if germany has viking ships it should use them to create a stronger europe but i doubt that we do it by creating by supporting an unsustainable arrangement was the euro as it is by doing a fiscal pact which is basically strangulating european economy so in that sense germany should indeed assert european interests i would say more strongly that sorry to interrupt you what are these bargaining chips the bargaining chips are not many anymore and we gave one away again which is the yes and which is i mean still european increase in the capital of the years still requires. a scent of parliament and so

i think what you are seeing in europe, and in france and, you know, we're going to see the same thing. they are not good numbers, but we know that there's just this almost endless support that we're seeing here. we shrug off the not so good numbers, rally on the good numbers, and that's the monetarn the market right now. the traders, the public sees there's going to be support. this qe3, endless qe3, plops off the market. the focus now is on anything that's good propels this market. now, also with the news -- daifd daiftd -- david: scott, let me stop you. the market paired gains around the time ben bernanke -- i don't think it was a coincidence. we watched the activity while he was speaking. it went down in relation to what he was saying. what was said that damperred the market? >> he tempered the game with the dow up 120. he tempered it by saying, you know what, folks? things are not so great. things may be in the real near term, not getting that much better, but at the end of the day, we're still there. we're going to support this thing. it's going to keep going on. of course, we ga

france's minister of finance in may. the economy is one of the strongest in europe. still, the french, too, feel weighed down under the debt. structure or reform is the way to strengthen europe's union, but world economic leaders are strongly urging the implementation. can europe move into action? >> we are two very positive moves during last month. first with the ecb, second with growth. third with tax on financial transactions, which is going to happen between france, spain, italy, and other countries in europe. we are i believe truly taking into account political necessity to confront this crisis. of course it's too slow. we need to implement reforms. we're working on it. >> reporter: moscovici says the french, all europeans, in fact, should follow through with measures to reduce their debts. he said spending cuts are prerequisites for growth in the long run. >> this is why structural reforms are so necessary. and this is why if we need to deal seriously with that, i don't believe austerity is something good for the people. you cannot have growth in the midterm or
