got a group named as the friends of yemen which was formed here in london on the initiative of gordon brown the previous prime minister him u.k. and they're to group actually involve so our regional partners are well as well as international partners global partners and we have seen them. big extended especially our western partners and friends they have been rather you know very slow in their action we have seen that they're pushed a lot of. pleasure and leverage on on syria and as well on libya but we have seen none of that being used on yemen at all. because when you go you are careful before we go to the break go ahead and tell the godhead. but i just want to say what i what i was saying is not. a one to mock or see but rather what i was saying is democracy would clearly be best for the region and for the syrian people first and foremost and then for israel but thoughts of the but is a reference to will it actually happen and that's a legitimate question it's a legitimate question to ask whether once bashar assad falls whether a little liberal democracy or you know somebody because they

because he doesn't mention the shadow banking system as it was described by former prime minister gordon brown when he says that the effects are minimal he's talking about the effects of what these banks report to regulators as being their balance sheet but we know now going back to two thousand and eight that they simply don't report trillions of dollars of liabilities on their balance sheet and then when these blow up they claim that the market did it we had no idea and bernanke knows this that's why bernanke at the end of the day because he's sheltering financial terrorists he should be waterboarding i mean he actually says there they even looking at the hedges that this will be a. well negligible impact of greece defaulting but we know from the bank of international settlements recent release that there's one hundred fifty nine billion in credit default swaps written by u.s. banks against the european sovereign debt holdings of greece ireland and spain and portugal so again he he's he's lying when he makes that statement in front of congress he is telling a lie that's causing incredible gl

alice center darling was the economy minister for three years in the government of gordon brown.rt of the talks leading up to the first greek bailout. he joins us now. thank you very much for being was. is it really an option to perhaps opt out of helping greece? >> i don't think it is. the point i was making is that, if you look at the record over the last year, the euro zone has acted often too late and often in a way that just isn't going to work. and what i'm saying is that they really now do need to decide how they're going to help greece resolve its problems and at the same time ensure that -- not only can it rebuild, but it can also repay the loans that it's taking on as well as pay down its debt. my point is that on the present performance that simply isn't going to happen. we'll get another payment made in the summer, but as things stand, greece is going to keep coming back again and again because it's fundamental problems are not being resolved. >> therein lies the question, if the fundamental problems are not being resolved and the problems are intrinsic within greece,
