and the stress test results later on today. let's take a look at how the asian markets finished the week. it was a bit of a mixed back today on this friday. the nikkei ended up by about 0.4 and hang seng down by about a third of a percent. the shanghai composite had a choppy session today where property stocks were under pressure but the composite was up at the end of the day. now let's take a look at u.s. futures. they're pointing to a mostly lower open when trading gets under way on wall street in a couple of hours from now. knee made? >>> with these debt concerns, having people very worried on both sides of the atlantic, we thought we'd try to get the views from the former u.s. fed chairman paul volcker. he's the kind of person you'd think would have some pretty strong views on this. he actually stepped down earlier this year from his position as the head of president obama's economic advisory board. he spoke to jim bolden and jim asked him about the long term effects of near zero interest rates. take a listen to what he had

and i think we've known all along that a lot of banks in europe and the north would not stress tests if these stress tests included the possibility of sovereign default because of course they've got loads of greek and portuguese and spanish debt and so there was never any question that one of the reasons why it might be in germany is interest to bail out greece is that it's if it doesn't it's going to have a banking crisis of its own and will have to bailout its own banks but i think that the judgment of the taxpayer is they'd rather bail out their own banks if they have to then keep on giving money to greeks who may never get to give it back to them so there's no bailout really impressed by these rich northern countries and therefore the other countries have to think of some way of getting by and that's going to be default. several moscow streets were impassable on sunday afternoon but not because of the tories traffic jams they were sealed off to temporarily become the realm of the fast and the furious in a high octane performance formula one drivers burn some serious rubber agains

well i mean no that's true they certainly haven't worked and it's just more bailouts the stress test that we had in europe today are widely perceived to be a joke just like the previous ones because two reasons one they look at a number of reasons but one primary one is that they look at the trade in book another banking book they also don't price in a full default in the haircut that they look at the highest haircut i saw i think were for greek sovereign default and that was around twenty six percent and the market is priced in a much higher haircut for greece so as far as the eurozone debt crisis it keeps rolling on and there's no expectation that that's going to end anytime soon with italy now and these these bailouts as it was the f.s.f. the yes i said they're supposed to end in twenty twenty thirteen i think but that's when the the s.m.'s but the cake and so they have to really figure anything out the politicians in europe don't really have a clear strategy it seems like and even the e.p.a. the european banking agency i think it's called that was in charge of the stress test has

tests if these stress tests included the possibility of sovereign default because of course they've got loads of greek and portuguese and spanish debt and so there was never any question that one of the reasons why it might be in germany is interest to bail out greece is that it's if it doesn't it's going to have a banking crisis of its own and will have to bail out its own banks but i think the judgment of the taxpayer is they'd rather bail out their own banks if they have to then keep on giving money to greeks who may never get to give it back to them so there's no bailout really impressed by easy rich northern countries and therefore the other countries have to think of some way of getting by and that's going to be default. watching the weekly here on our two years we highlight the top headlines of the past week the finale will pause and have a look at today's headlines from around the world u.s. led coalition has started handing over control of some of afghanistan's territories to local security forces the central region has become the first of seven areas where that's to happen
