and welcome to our team karen taraji broadcasting to you from our studio in moscow well the latest financial blow to the e.u. comes from moody's a ratings agency has changed the block's outlook from stable to negative warning it faces being downgraded moody's said the decision reflected the issues the key budget contributors are dealing with earlier this year of the ratings of germany france britain and netherlands were switched to a negative outlook that's despite relentless meetings between e.u. leaders which have so far failed to deliver any solutions and a leaked e-mails suggest that the troika of international leaders want greece one of the most stricken countries to work six days a week and longer hours to fulfill their financial obligations investment advisor

patrick young believes it's the bailouts that are dragging europe down. notwithstanding the terrible crisis in the euro zone the truth is that the european union's glorious idea that they can pull everybody's money together and go towards prosperity has been a fiasco because all of the people in the euro are being sucked towards poverty because of the fact that there has been transferred so much money to the profligate incompetent government that are on the southern side of the euro zone there's a wonderful article by the mayor of london boris johnson talking about how cruel issue is going to be sucked into the euro because they've pledged to join it because they are exceeding to the european union next year that would be a suicide move for any nation that wants to join ultimately the cross for its club of the euro zone has turned into a very bitter amongst few do drunks over who is going to get the last measure of vodka and that is not

a way that any other government is going to be happy in being complicit with the economic mismanagement of a crumbling field single currency zone in the meantime one of the countries which has been longing to join the euro area has curbed did some through z. as and sell debts plants despite finally having qualified to join artist s. are silly reports on why the poorest member state decided to turn its back on the single currency. garia is opposing the latest blow to the embattled currency know it has put on hold its long held plans of joining the euro bloc and interesting we bulgaria in contrast to a lot of bigger economies has managed to reduce its budget deficit to two point one percent of its g.d.p. and that is safely within the three percent rule set by the e.u. a number consistently met mentioned by german chancellor angela merkel but now that they've actually qualified that all the rules they don't want to back down and put

this on hold of the prime minister of bulgaria as well as the finance minister had both said that there are two main reasons for this one is the increasing of vulnerability and uncertainty of the future of the euro in the block it's clear it's been going on for a couple of years now and also the deteriorating economic conditions are still the clear way out of the crisis and secondly and i think importantly for the leaders of that country is that changing the public opinion in bulgaria people they're asking the very same questions that the citizens of credit euro zone countries are asking who else are going to bail out and for bulgaria's point of view who are we going to bail out once we join the euro and also the country has been through three years already it was measures cuts in pensions it wages and you know for the last year especially a stereo is almost a key word when discussing the eurozone or the euro and now bulgaria is not the only country it's just the latest in the string of countries lithuania last week the prime minister has said that it will only join the euro when quote unquote

europe was ready and of course that is at this point very unclear when the state will be coming and also latvia has has lost and it's changed its tone in terms of looking at the process of joining the euro now what this all underlies it goes back to the same point the vulnerabilities the weaknesses that we see in the euro and from the outsider's point of view this is what they see they see contras in trouble needing bailouts and you have creditor countries imposed on the people and you have angry and desperate citizens of those countries and with that kind of a picture it's not entirely surprising that bulgaria made that decision. in syria the ongoing bloodshed is provoking a large scale humanitarian crisis the u.n. says around one hundred thousand escaped the conflict last month the largest number so far most of the escapees are now in turkey but the authorities have closed the border to those with no passports as the camps swelled by more than eighty thousand people archies paulus lawyer has more details. at least ten thousand syrian

refugees for at least a week have been stuck on the syrian side of the syrian turkish border and this is because ankara is simply unable to process the growing numbers of people who are fleeing syria to turkey there are already eighty thousand syrian refugees inside turkey and kurds are fraid that these figures could swell to at least a half a million has been complaining that the international community is not doing enough to help it and to this indeed it is calling for a so-called safe zone or a buffer zone to be created inside syria and what we understand is that such as zone would extend some twenty kilometers inside syrian territory but the problem is that to create any kind of humanitarian zone you need to have a no fly zone which certainly suggests foreign intervention and there has been a lot of criticism about this from the international community certainly the united nations security council has not given its nod when and where brought this up in the past but we do understand that anchor is going to ask the u.n.

security council later this month to create this buffer zone it is highly unlikely that russia and china will give its nod but certainly we are witnessing a growing humanitarian crisis at the same time we know that the head of the international committee for the red cross is in damascus they are meeting with syrian officials who are trying to find together some kind of way of assisting these refugees and resolving the situation has been quite some time in those camps talking to some of these refugees and i can back up from firsthand experience what they as well as what humanitarian organizations are saying what the refugees told me is that the sanitation is far from satisfactory that very often they are standing in queues for hours waiting for food there are not enough tense to go around people are speaking on the streets i spoke to a number of women who were complaining of sexual harassment one person perhaps put it the best he told me that him and his family had fled syria to escape it did but

here in the rift. camps they were dying a slow death at the same time there are concerns that you just need a spark to erupt into flames there are concerns particularly from the jordanian authorities that they could be rioting we heard this morning go out today there are also concerns that they could be further clashes so the main concern at the moment is that the situation is so volatile you could lead to even further bigger humanitarian catastrophe and political analyst paul off on us turkey's initiative to introduce buffer zones inside syria requiring military intervention it could backfire. of course the cost for turkey would be quite hard to move in that direction and we have to remember that your story is very much. for the united states to remember. that started. it is always seen.

as a policy of the united states in the. guise of. as it was before so it's clear that that is being the real issue which was not. to stand with our team on the way the battle for the white house democrats and republicans lock heads as the u.s. presidential race descends into a verbal duel. pro-democracy activists in bahrain lives another legal fight against the ruling monarchy we've got the details in just a few minutes. latest opinion polls suggest the pro independence party quar is the front runner in the regional government election in canada's comeback boating has opened on with people casting their ballots art is a must see it should get a looks at what's driving separatist moods in the french speaking region. gloomy

economic times attracts social instability and uncertainty and what tomorrow will bring for canada's mostly french speaking province of quebec that means agitation for separation is stirring yet again as voters head to the polls it's a three way fight to be the dominant force in convex parliament with emotions running high come back as one hundred eighty four billion dollars in debt and has an economy that has grown by a mere one point seven percent in the last year falling behind canada as a whole competing at the ballot box are the incumbent liberals the firstly form coalition for the future of combat and the separatist war and it's the latter which is proving most popular at the polls marching ahead of the others at around thirty three percent this means the issue of convex breakaway from canada could return to the forefront of the decade long reign of the liberals comes to a close it's the latest example of separatism spreading its wings globally in

troublesome economic times the separatists leading in the polls claim their short term priority would be picking the economy up of its knees instead of pushing for a separation vote straight away the party leader says a referendum on convex independence would only be held if there was complete confidence in a win for now opinion polls suggest less than forty percent of the provinces population would support a split the new found was over could back comes after months of student union protests raging in mid summer and spring tens of thousands of students have made their ways out onto the streets and shown their public outrage with clashes with police making news headlines across the world canada and come back would fare without each other is a matter of fierce debate among experts we might now be much closer to finding out if they see churkin or moscow. canadian reporter michael phoria wants back is

growing estranged from the rest of canada with people left with little alternative than a separatist vote i think what it really comes down to is that the backers will be choosing the lesser of three evils and for many people especially people the younger popular population they feel that the why is a move in the step forward maybe towards more of a progressive message in the province but i think a lot of the polish party politics you seem between the three parties they have very very many of the same policies in this and people are just making a choice based upon dissatisfaction with the with all of the three major parties and when it comes to i mean austerity measures well yeah there have been cutbacks and but i mean i think that's been across the board for most canadian provinces in the sense in terms of you know the support of separatism across the board of people really just don't care anymore i mean canadians used to care we used to care or you know if it was somebody in a bird or in terror we had family out there friends and they'd say to us you know are you guys really going to be voting to leave and i think even in the past few months we saw polls it was

a poll done asking canadians you know do you care for the leaves and half of canadians said no we don't care. so i have for you and the program hanging high. school adventures are going through too but for me it's of the small new level of ability to become a kind of superman extreme exploits are the latest b.b. latest step defying sport craze and russia we find out why from the very people feeling. they had to buy her a now where a civilian court has upheld a military ruling found twenty opposition leaders guilty of plotting to overthrow the government defense lawyers for the activist say they may still appeal the verdict was handed down eight life sentences has been shaken by pro-democracy protests since february last year of police crackdowns on my tripoli sixty people killed. marzouk

a growing number of like minded russians it seems that's a risk it willing to take. all right let's cross now to our business desk where the great recession is winding down in most parts of the world and i'm sure many investors will be happy to see this day and is that right right that's exactly right karen of course we did have a lot of pessimism in the air today and that's after of course moody's investor service announced a downgrade and also warned that the e.u. risks losing its triple a rating now if we take a look at the latest figures when it comes to europe will see that the figures are in the right naturally the footsie is losing over one percent this hour in the german that someone half a percent in the right no surprise really as confidence is quite low but many hope that this will force the city to take action and activate those stimulus measures well same with your opponents right now because after months of surprising

resilience to the economic downturn of course in the year in the eurozone what still appears to be on the brink of recession after a strong performance earlier this year the swiss economy contracted zero point one percent in the second quarter and that's exports to the euro zone file and that's the first drop since the third quarter of two thousand and eleven when the swiss national bank imposed a franc ceiling so what the time the economy. right analysis look at the currencies we see that naturally the euro is losing we can then against the u.s. dollar when it comes to the ruble it's still game against of both major currencies if we move on and take a look at the russian markets it's been a volatile session throughout the day year we've seen some drops the gains that we've seen still a mixed picture the artsy is again in just the normal mindset similarly losing just the knowledge here one thing that is definitely helping is oil prices by the way you talk about oil let me just mention that today it was announced several shots of gas monopoly gas from a has announced that it is in its honks oversupply liquefied natural gas to
