small countries with big problems caused larger countries with smaller problems big headaches. seems relatively unlikely. qe, a kind of safety net that can isolate countries. at the moment, many small countries have solved problems. of course, italy and france are building for the future. a country like france will have lots of contagion in whatever he does. ultimately, you cannot let france take the ecb and the eurozone hostage. the french have to live by the rules and i am sure they will. >> as long as they grow. live within the rules, but if the rules do not allow you to grow, it becomes a catch 22. >> of course that is true. the rules should not be overdone. there are instances in the past, like greece, where the fiscal austerity was overdone. it became part of the problem itself. i do not think that is the case in france. the adjustment france has is not serious. france should also focus more on structural reforms and fiscal reforms. what we are seeing at the moment is that they are picking fiscal reforms and forgetting the real issue is structural reforms. brussels is not

these smaller organisms are the food source for small fish, which in turn are the food source for the larger fish that eat them. the simple way to understand it is big fish eat little fish. and the big question is when you remove the things at the top, do the next level down just take over? or is the balance disturbed in some kind of way that it's not that simple? it's pretty clear that it's not that simple. overfishing removes the most important and abundant consumers in a natural ecosystem. and so fish, of course, eat fish, but fish also eat seaweed. if they are not there, the seaweed grows 10 times faster, 100 times faster in the corals. it grows over the corals, smothers them, and kills them. narrator: the absence of fish that allows for this overgrowth of seaweed and the destruction of the coral is an example of how removing one part of the food web completely changes an ecosystem from one that is healthy and diverse to one that is only attractive to a limited number of organisms. it's what jackson calls the rise of slime. dr. jackson: what i call the rise of slime is the introdu

technology is good enough that we can resolve something that is good enough -- as small as a microwave, perhaps even smallerorter: but it's not an easy or fast process. it takes the vehicle two hours to dive to the bottom, 16 hours to search a section of the floor and then another four hours to download and analyze the data collected. that means just one mission of the bluefin-21 takes a the least 24 hours to complete, meaning the search could drag on. >> given the size of the search area, that could take six, eight weeks. it's a weeks and months' type of problem to cover that amount of area. >> at the end of that period, if there is a successful find, the next step would be to send deep diving vehicles, rovs, to find the black boxes. phoenix international has manipulator arms that can do that that picked up wreckage from air france 447 in the atlantic. and that was more than 12,000 feet below the surface. wolf? >> a complicated mission. on a typical mission for the bluefin, is any of it preprogrammed or do they do it freelance style? >> they do a little bit of both. it's got a program to run a certain dist

because big spaces are hard to fill and hard for small businesses to fill there's the talk about dividing them into smaller parcels it makes sense we might have a different bar for over 10 thousand square feet maybe a dr rather a cu but giving someone the chance to fill those we should help them so this is a higher bar. i don't think it's wise to expand into additional categories making formulate retail including a lot of things that are not considered formula retail as with banks they're all formula retail so to make them go through hoops there's not a competitor here. it's disserves those places where there's no final constitution you walk along mission street or ocean or geneva there's very few banks or inspections in those areas we want to encourage them so to make them it does a disservice by making it harder for financial institutions to go in there. the level i think in your report you said that only 9 percent of formula retail were by category i guess under 50 stores and then 75 percent had of the formula retail over 50. then there's i guess there was a separate category for franchises i'm not sure

that businesses, small businesses, not talking about the larger ones, but the smaller businesses are hurting as a result of it not being signed. that sense of uncertainty, that sense of not knowing what might happen, it has an impact on economic life of the country. now, if we have a successful political transition and we have new leadership in the country that stays calm, which is what most people now predict, then the business cycle is going to pick up again. again, you are going to see normal sort of development taking place in afghanistan, which has been positive overall. now, business in afghanistan, the economy overall in afghanistan has relied to quite an extent on foreign aid money. and a large amount of assistance that has come into the country over the last 13 years. that is going to shrink. we all know that. the afghans are ready to adjust. hopefully, they will be able to come up with new ideas. but they are looking forward to enough stability and security in the country to be able to implement all of these big projects that the country relies on so much. whether it is in

the technology on the auv is good enough that we can resolve something that is as small as a microwave, perhaps even smallerorter: but it's not an easy or fast process. it takes the vehicle two hours to dive to the bottom, 16 hours to search about a 15-square mile section of the ocean floor. and two more hours to return to the surface. then it takes another four hours to download and analyze the data collected. that means just one mission of the bluefin-21 takes at least 24 hours to complete. meaning the search could drag on. >> given the size of the search area, that could take six, eight weeks. so it's a weeks and months type of problem to cover that amount of area. >> reporter: if the bluefin does find debris from the plane, this is the machine that can recover it. this remotely operated vehicle that can go very deep in the ocean with manipulator arms, can pick up all sorts of debris and a black box. this one, recovered the black box for airline france 447. the search area in the indian ocean is much wider and more uncertain. brian todd, cnn, largo, maryland. >>> all right. so what we get from brian's pi
