i'm joined by jacob kirkegaard of the peterson institute of international economics. mr.irkegaard, it seems to me that we have spent a great deal of time talking about this unrest in europe and there had been a lull. what happened? >> well, i think we need to keep in mind that the violence we saw today-- or the strikes at least in athens, were not spontaneous reactions of public outrage. there were sort of strategically planned demonsttions timed to coincide by the greek labor unions with the crunch time in the negotiations between the greek government and the i.m.f. so that without being too cynical, you could actually say that if the streets of athens were burning it would actually at the margin help the greek government in the negotiations with the i.m.f. and the troika, because it would show that the greek people really couldn't take much more austerity. so there is a strategic element in these protests. >> ifill: what about in spain? >> well, in sain it's alittle bit of tame thing because tomorrow is the time when the spanish government announces its 2013 budget and
