think you're expected to just be a scholar and think about things we used to have that back in ancient greece and stuff you had a lot of friends idea exactly like you and he just thinks he says he's working somewhere around the city of london but actually i've never actually seen him in the cambridge that's just because he's westernized he has to pretend to be a working hotel he's also the i don't know but are just yeah the fact is that we use that thinkers and philosophers we no longer value that and therefore you know in fact you're the highest value in the us economy is to go to business school and apparently that you're being. you know you profit from thinking less so that's actually proven here but this is a system as you said financial eyes and it's all really a debt racket and they they they you know cloak it with these high falutin words like we're just trying to educate the population it's a knowledge economy we're all just going to be smart and. well fool rather well you know enough writers you know in august some are bombing children in yemen you know that you don't want empathy ok

i completely understand that mediterranean countries, like italy, like malta, like greece, like spain, are sharing more of the burden than other countries. and that's why the system in europe must be that other countries show more solidarity with our south european partners. that is the whole debate we are having that in good and bad times you have to show solidarity among the member states, but one thing is also clear. there is an obligation to save those people, to rescue those people, when they are risking their lives in the mediterranean. but when you see what is happening, whether it's an chemnitz or in italy, or indeed the brexit vote which we will come onto a minute, can you say that eu policy on migration is working? we must improve our eu migration policy. of course things must be better, must get better, but the solution for the migration challenge must be found at a european level. and that's why we have to strengthen european external borders. i believe in some years‘ time we'll have a european border guard and a european coastguard, because we must understand, if you wa

now let's get a quick check of some other stories making news around the world on greece prime minister viktor orban has called for a new european commission and parliament that stop migration his comments come after a meeting with the italian interior minister matteo salvini orbán praised me for being the first senior figure in europe's mediterranean countries to prove that it is possible to stop migrants arriving by sea. prosecutors at the international criminal court are calling for the conviction of the former congo warlord bosco and ganga on charges including murder rape conscripting child soldiers and sexual slavery he faces eighteen counts for his role in the deadly conflict in the democratic republic of congo fifteen years ago he denies the charges washington says that the international court of justice has no authority to force the u.s. to lifted sanctions against iran iranian lawyers have demanded the u.n. court lift economic sanctions were imposed by washington over its nuclear program the u.s. state department says the u.s. has a right to protect its national security. hele

‘ve just seen there in that piece the sort of pressure that there is on processing centres, both in greece and in italy. tens of thousands of migrants still stranded in these countries. and for all the good intentions that were expressed recently at the brussels summit, not much has changed. is that why perhaps people like matteo salvini are rising in the polls? i think that is why he is in power. it is the cumulative effect really of so many years of migration, more than 600,000 people reached italy‘s shores since 2014. which by and large put matteo salvini in power. and the words he spoke sincejune, when he became the interior minister, the de facto most powerful man in the government, have seen his position rise. he has been to libya, he took an italian air force jet to libya, tweeting pictures along the way. saying that he wanted reception centres in north africa. that hasn‘t happened. but a lot of italians like what they hear from him. butjenny, what we saw happen in saxony last night suggests that the actual numbers of migrants coming into the country do not necessarily have an i

as of last monday greece is independent of international aid funding but less no more aid packages and fewer fiscal requirements but the last eight years have been rough for greece and brought drastic austerity many greeks lost their jobs and their homes average income has fallen by a third but taxes remain high and now some are very skeptical about the future like this silversmith. personally for me in the coming years i don't see any hope everything looks bleak to me. the greek crisis brought me and thousands of people in my position to a low point in business women weren't interested in buying our clothes and as a result my manufacturing company closed we latest out of this combined cafe in many markets. he hopes to gain a foothold again like that most people are trying to fight their way through they can in brussels there was cautious optimism at the european commission. greece's transformative reforms have laid the foundations for a sustainable recovery putting in place the fundamental conditions need for sustained growth. creation and sound public finances indeed used to come but
