russian teams perform rather well in european rinks that seem to have trouble during decisive snatches in the champions league what does that indicate that. this girl put her foot but i wouldn't say that we can see considerable progress in russian football in recent years during the last five or six years are two clubs sany ten sysco one one of the most prestigious tournament since europe the away for cup the national team won bronze at the european championships i think there is much progress at international level i mean a club football and individual teams earlier it was a grand event of a team made it in spring to the european cup series and today there is no such problem with the clubs have to do that karan temptations go much further than that but i'm sure that clubs like zinni and cisco are quite able not only to play in the champions league but also to achieve good results it's quite realistic. that the that's what do you believe russian clubs seem to lack in order to improve their performance through a. strange as it may sound quite short on infrastructure today i think the le

seeds for months up to one company so the pressure on the european union i know from direct reports out of brussels i know from intelligence networks grassroots of farmers and political people across europe is enormous there is corruption in the european food safety authority the efs where monsanto and other front organizations of the g m a lobby finance the research work of scientists who are supposed to be neutral and independent and looking out for the food safety of of the european population so the pressure yes it's enormous and strong allegations there indeed i mean the u.s. has a virtual monopoly in g.m.c. i mean do you think the u.s. government is railroading its way into protected markets. well they're certainly trying to and they've done that to a large extent in spain for a number of years now where the agribusiness interests have literally taken over the what used to be a. delightfully natural foods culture in spain and turned it into agribusiness synthetic i call it fake foods where you have. bright red tomatoes delivered from spain southern spain into german supermarkets a

union in the european monetary union they can't do that they're stuck with the euro so even though they might be restructuring their debt isn't the case of reese and now arland maybe are. they're starting we stuck with the euro which is going to make them uncompetitive and so they're going to keep on spiraling down so they're really just kicking the can down the road they're not you know providing a solution the problem and the problem is that each country can issue their own debt yeah now. when the euro is started of course all of these bond markets the sovereign bond markets they were yielding approximately the same the ten twenty thirty year bonds were having approximately the same yield but then as time for grad. and different. if you will of the underlying countries different personalities of these countries. that is to say weaknesses emerged then the old started to break away and trade separately and isn't that kind of a arbitrage yours paradise and they say these different yields and they're of course the big heads frons out there in the big funds they've got virtually unlimited

well i think it's the only chance and the faster the better the thing is also for the sound in european countries that the euro because of the high currency rate has been a huge disadvantage to the competitiveness for instance in greece also an island in spain and portugal the two coming countries through through to ask for money at the at the e.u. fund so it's evident that the euro has holes these problems and therefore we need to find an alternative in the alternative is that when you have different economical policies within the union which are the facts right now then you must have different currencies as well you cannot go with a common currency and don't have the same government the same financial policies and that's the exact approach of this year that the federalists want to use the euro to mainstream europe so that they will have one faction one tax one government and everything has to be counted so if i may just jump in here for a moment if i may just jump in here you're saying that it's the euro that created this crisis but surely it would be irresponsible economic policy tha
