[speaking in spanish] most immigrant families in the united state, no matter what the standards and i matter where they choose to live, rants at work, contribute to state and local revenues by paying property sales, auto, gas, federal income taxes. in our county committees taxes pay for schools, roads and other government services. immigration status does not accept anyone from paying taxes. [speaking in spanish] [speaking in spanish] [cheers and applause] [speaking in spanish] the united states is a proud tradition of being a land founded and built by immigrants as our nation's first president, george washington said, in 1783, while addressing irish immigrant, the prison of america is open to receive not only the opulent and respectable stranger, that the oppressed and persecuted abominations and religion whom we shall welcome to a participation of all of our rate and privileges.

he is spanish and irish together. if we look at the history of the irish in cuba, most of the irish to went to cuba in the 18th and 19th centuries arrived from spain, some of them with the spanish royal armies; other irish influx arrived from the u.s. for the construction of railroads used to transport sugar cane to the sugar plantations. that was at the end of the 19th century. and then at the beginning of the 20th century, we're talking 1902, 1910, before odono that i mentioned before, this man who gave his name to -- he was very proud of this lighthouse. the cubans offer hospitality to general alexander alejandro o'reilly. he rose through the ranks of the spanish army. the spanish sent alexander o'reilly to cuba to form a militia. he was appointed governor of louisiana and head of the army later on. he arrived in august, 1769, and took formal possession of louisiana for spain. think of new orleans and cuba, in particular havana, governors there were also in cuba so there was all this traveling from one city to anot

when does the spanish economy get better? >> well, i think there is surely a contractive medium term story. you hear a lot about the weakness of the job market, which is unsurprising in my view. you hear a lot about the public finances having not been stabilized yet. that's all true and actually stays time. but its debt sector, it is more in tune right now, but it will become bigger. why? because current sectors are shrinking, at least the construction sector as an example. so the export sector will be a bigger share of the pie. that is why growth will come from. its exports have been strong and structurally they are getting stronger because spain is recovering. it is tough, it is a difficult process and i think it will happen. >> it's quite a cost to pay, isn't it? the unemployment rate is over 27%. youth unemployment well over the 50% mark. where is the unemployment going to peak? >> i think at this point, this figure represents the true state of the job market. certainly it's not surprise the joblessness is high and rising

spanish economy now 7% smaller than it was.yment the pick up to record high 12.1% since records began in 1995 and we saw april inflation for the euro zone down to 1.2%. it was 1 is.7% in march with expectations of 1.6%. so now there's a real expectation perhaps the ecb -- certainly the ecb has more than enough cover to cut rates if it wants on thursday or perhaps to launch something for small businesses, something an ecb version of what we've got in the uk, funding for lenning schemes. so our expectations are that we will get one or the other. not many people think we will get both. but they're covered for the ecb to take some kind of action on thursday. >>> and how is that all playing into u.s. futures? we were called flat earlier on. and we are just below. four points lower on the dow. the nasdaq is implied 0.75% lower. we're up at record highs on the s&p. once again, a record high close. nasdaq up at 12 1/2 year highs and i don't think we've had a three-day down session now for the dow this year which i think is the first ti

i would say 90% of those are in spanish, so i am lucky they are. this is an extraordinary life and a life lived in the lurches sent. a canvas that is huge, stretches through most of south america. a life lived large in other ways as well. simon bolivar was featured on it and commanding personality. he was called iron asked by his soldiers because he wrote 75,000 miles to liberate the six countries that he liberated. it's really an extraordinary physical feat if nothing else. but he also was a man of the enlightenment, someone who had been inspired at the youngest age by rating full tear and not just your and john locke and came out of that experience probably at about 20, 21, with a passionate fans of his country, the colonial yoke that a separate matter. at least he thought that suffered under. he was all for liberty and freedom, great admired united states. great admired in many respects napoleon, although there are aspects of the empire, the napoleonic empire that he did not admire. but this is a man also of flesh and blood. he was a great woman

spanish yields just below the 4.3%, as well.ear gilt yield lower after posting the jump yesterday. looking ahead to the u.s. gdp number. ahead of that, the dollar is not doing a huge amount right now. dollar/yen is weaker at 98.611. the yen is stronger. we had these stats out, of course, which suggested that in fact what was seen over the la month or so as the bank of japan announced its policies were repatriation of funds back into japan and people felt that the opposite would be happening. euro/dollar, steady 1.3016. kelly. >> we watched that dollar. here is what's on the agenda in the u.s. it's the first glance at first quarter gdp. 8:30 a.m. eastern, growth forecast to 3.2% in the official forecast, but we'll talk in a couple of minutes about how those expectations have fallen somewhat. it would be a pick up from 0.4% if the fourth quarter, helped by the housing market, consumer spending and inventory bills. prices expected to rise 1.3% by the way in that report. keep an eye out for that, as well. at 9:55, we'll turn our att

the spanish economy continues to shrink and of the u.k. -- with minimal growth seems to be in the shadow of the recession of 2008-2009. >> there is little alternative but to restrain public spending. if we don't do that, there could be a debt crisis like we saw in greece. the prospect of more government spending undermines confidence in the private sector and makes them think taxes will have to be raised. they will go from crisis to crisis other news to be restraint and it needs to be done now. editorials the deputy director of editorial of fares from london. the serbian president has apologized for all crimes asrpetrated by senbs again the bosnians. thousands of bosnians were killed by serb soldiers during the movement between 1992-1996. if we are joined from belgrade. what did the president say? this is some kind of a groundbreaking news because nobody expected this would happen that the serbian president could say something like that especially considering his previous statements regarding a xcroatian town. even and the weeks after his

in fact, the spanish economy shrank by 1.9% last year.his came as the government forecast for the coming year came to 1.3%. meaning basically that the recession is going to continue for all of this year around that figure. also figures out of the european union last week, i am sure that you remember this, of whopping 27% of the spanish population out of work, meaning 6.2 million people who simply cannot find work there. pretty nasty, but believe it or not, experts have been telling us that all of this could have been a lot worse. >> it was good news in a way that we see the pace of construction flowing. the spanish economy has been contracting, but these were relaxed effects from the financial term. things are slowing down a little bit and of course, this year and next year it will be very challenging, very difficult for spain. as you mentioned, unemployment is still very high. credit is still difficult to get in spain and if you get it it is still very expensive compared to the german economy. >> well, there you go. from further bad news

it's now 84.2% of the spanish gdp. that's a sharp increase if you compare to the level before the prices in spain. and there's a paradox in that announcement. yes, we've seen some positive reaction on the bond market. the other part is that it will actually help the government to ask for more time to reduce its public deficit below 3% of ggdp. the new target will be 2016, two years later than expected, and that will give the government a bit of precome, a bit of margin to implement from the measures to boost the spanish economy and hopefully to drive the country out of recession. the finance minister this morning said that the government will present by the end of the week a new budget plan that will not focus only on deficit reduction, but also will have some stimulus measure toes boost the spanish economy. kelly, over to you. >> stephane, thanks very much for that. >> right. it started with lenovo buying ibm's pc business. we've heard today how property developers are moving into the united states. still to come on "

the spanish built mexico city atop the ruins of the aztec capital. in 1978, excavations for electric lines first uncovered aztec sculptures, including this huge carving of the moon goddess. today archaeologists have revealed the capital of the ancient aztec empire beneath spanish streets. they have reconstructed a great temple that was rebuilt and enlarged many times by the ancient aztecs. the ruins of the temple lie beneath the main spanish plaza, called the zocalo. archaeologist william sanders. sanders: i think the zocalo of mexico city is the most exciting place on earth. in front of me you can see the material remains of three successive civilizations -- the great temple of the aztecs, the cathedral, a symbol of catholic spain, and, in the distance, the torre latino, which is a symbol of modern industrial mexico. prior to the aztecs, we have evidence of two earlier civilizations in the same valley. so we have successive civilizations, one replacing the other, for 2,000 years. and this is the normal pattern that archaeologists and historians find

if you look at the holding of spanish bond by spanish bank, it will be going down since march last year, which was is a surprise for me. that means the issuance in spain is not bought by spanish bank, but by foreigners. >> yeah, i think you see that more generally. but specifically, in spain, and i think that is also part of a while long known occurrence in financial markets that is still there, which is a search for yields. institutional investors are still, in a way b incentivized to move into government bond space because they get a very low or zero capital charge on that. despite the obvious risks maybe in that area and obviously, spain and the rest of the peripheral markets are offering very attractive yield pick up compared to what you are earning on let's say g-3, government bond yields. so i think that is an important sector there, as well. as long as you think that we will not break up in europe, as long as you think the ecb is a credible lender of last resort to sovereign in the eurozone, the temptation at some point 1i678ly becomes too big for institutional investors to shy a
