first it started here toward po portugal into spain. i want to show a video out of northern portugal here. you can see the snowfall coming down. weather definitely felt throughout the day to day as several roads have been closed and causing traffic jams. some drivers stuck in the snow. they had to get out of the cars and push their vehicles. all schools were closed across northern portugal. and just hazardous weather to say the least. now that rough weather will shift to the east. still 20 centimeters of snow in the higher elevations across eastern spain is likely. italy, you're going to get rain showers and thunderstorms off there towards greece as that system gets a move on. meanwhile, off here towards portions of scandinavian peninsula, you're also going to see rough weather. temperatures on the cold side. snowy conditions and even bitterly cold in stockholm. that's a look at your weather. here is your extended forecast. >>> we're back in 30 minutes with more of the latest. from all of us here at nhk world, thanks for joining us. hav

no growth in portugal. it was a bubble in real estate that was finance by the savings of one institutions, some of which have gone under. a number have gone on her and a government they basically drove up the deficit and regional governments because it's very important in spain. also drove up with big deficits. so in each one of these, you have someone of a different reason. in the case of italy, debt to gdp of over 120% and growing and the lack of action and trying to do anything about it by the former government came in as a technician. technicians are great, but the period of time is limited because they have no popular support vis-À-vis an election, whether it be greece or italy. there'll be elections in italy and we'll see how he does. pitching a popular mandate to get these changes really through. i am encouraged in the case of ireland they are making good progress getting back to the market, but there's still a lot of problems. the banks held a lot of paper. they ran up a deficit they are instead the

and perhaps the paramount example of success in this regard is portugal. portugal 11 years ago decriminalized the possession of all drugs in personal use amounts. drug selling is illegal and you can still be arrested for that. they began doing evaluations a few years ago. you do not go to jail for possession of any drug in a small amount. and you are not drug tested. nobody gets thrown back in for dirty urines and all this sort of stuff. it's now been in place for 11 years. the research on that, and i recommend the piece in the british journal of crin knowledge and kid send it to -- cridge -- criminolgy. cases of h.i.v. and hepc and crime went down and people continued to seek treatment, that the rates of drug use in portugal did not go up at the same rates as comparable countries in europe. that suggests powerful evidence that you cannot just turn smling from a felony to a misdemeanor but eliminate the criminalization of drug possession, small amounts, without suffering negative consequences in terms of public health or public safety. now, when marty said

in portugal. we have a portuguese expert sitting here who is a professor of economic in portugal has tried to really drive that home. the need for portugal to be more competitive and they have made a lot of progress there. not enough but i think one of the things and i'm hoping we see out of all of these countries whether it be portugal, spain, italy, all of the countries they mentioned here that we get more in the way of competitiveness. take a look at france. now france is second largest economy in the eurozone, and it's very important that you see some of these reforms that are talked about happen. we're going to get france in stagnation if not recession. go back to -- as i said there's a japanese equivalent to but the chinese expression, this is a great opportunity for the europeans to do correctly what they haven't done before. now, whether they'll pick up on it we'll see. but certainly just like ben bernanke can't solve all problems here in the united states, also mario can't solve the euroz

hundreds of thousands of protesters have rallied in twenty cities across portugal to call for an end to deep budget cuts protesters in the capital lisbon held up banners and chanted slogans against austerity measures put into place as part of an e.u. and i.m.f. bailout under the terms of the rescue portugal has to make an extra four billion euros worth of cuts over the next two years. and the u.k.'s unemployment benefits are meant to support those desperately searching for work but for some the financial advantage of remaining unemployed outweighs getting a new job meaning they choose to stay dependent on the system or reports i couldn't really believe my luck to be on. it was just a dream i thought this is amazing you know british government is helping me out you know i needed somewhere to live and i don't have a job not the what do you expect to hear from someone who's fallen on hard times housing benefits allowed stephanie to rent a flat in this sport block in london's glitzy mayfair and by myself i could always barely afford a studio in central london when i was working and. look

if you can happen in greece it can happen in portugal and it can happen in portugal it can happen in spain and italy and so what was quite likely is that a lot of people are going to moving their money out of southern europe to other places to switzerland or austria or other or northern europe could such a plan actually be implemented in other countries another bailout deal of this sort because if the authorities the m f and the e.u. authorities think this is going to work do you think they might actually do this elsewhere when another deal is on the table. yes i do i mean they're presented as a one hour solution because they claim that this is a unique situation to same principle of course it isn't unique at all this is a problem that we see all throughout the eurozone and as a matter of fact it's much more fundamental than that it's a fundamental flaw in our banking system about the banks can create money out of thin air that aren't backed by anything and that's great bubbles and central banks can go on forever with that and with inflating new currency it's a fundamental flaw in th

with other countries such as italy and spain and portugal and ireland because basically those countries not basically ireland what i meant was that ireland already bailed out of going to the going to come back to ireland the coming back right but here's my point there's reach everywhere right now and these countries are in a depression and i don't understand why the media isn't picking up and calling it what it is it's not an economic recession italy has had i think nine quarters of negative g.d.p. g.d.p. growth and you know in spain you've got youth unemployment approaching sixty percent so now you're going to have a total revolt against the euro this is not a good thing you know it basically is a signal now that the euro is not safe and anything can happen anything is not taken off the board i mean germany is the paymaster here and i think that what it indicates is preposterous ahead of the german election because this is an itsy bitsy you know it's a bit steep payout which was ten billion and if you think about the first bailouts like greece bailout one was one hundred ten billion eu

well they can't afford to fail a car for greece to fail portugal spain they know that once one country goes the whole deck of cards will come tumbling down and countries like germany will realise absolutely vast losses possibly as much as one trillion euros so so they are prepared now to do anything literally anything to try to keep the euro afloat and that is why they've now resorted as i say to what can only be described as theft and now they've done it in one country they're quite capable of doing it it is really spain portugal or anywhere else in the message that sends to people who've got savings in banks in those countries certainly if i was there is get your money out while you can but i guess there's also a duty to look after the many experts that are there in twenty ten almost twice as much british money went to cyprus as transfers from russia record of a country's official website surely got a responsibility to safeguard your constituents interest they're now. well i mean we you know what the british government have said is that they will stand surety for the british army sol
