Any of you vote to amend, you are ensuring that this flag will fly beyond friday and for the widow of senator pinckney and his two young daughters, that would be adding insult to injury and i will not be a part of it.

Thats remarkable considering on wednesday, it was down some 6 and since june 12th it has plunged losing more than 3 trillion in market wealth. Losing roughly 30 of its value. That of course has freaked a lot of people out here. The question is is the gains we saw today, does that reflect the value of the market . The Chinese Government has announced that its buying up tens of billions of dollars worth of chinese stocks. It has suspended ipos. Its issued an ultimate issue. If you own more than 5 of the shares in any company, you are not allowed to sell any of them for the next six months. On top of that companies are so nervous, that roughly half of the Companies Listed in the stock markets here, have all suspended trading for several days now. The improvements that people have seen just in todays trading, they dont necessarily reflect the true value of the stock market. That gets at the crash that we have seen in the last three weeks in the first place. All economists pretty much agree this was a bubble and this was why it plummeted so far. It was the prospect of making easy fast money, that attracted millions of ordinary chinese to invest savings and borrow money to invest savings. Those are the people that stand to lose the most if this stock market crash continues. Christine. Tech stocks or chinese stocks. In 2015 bubbles have those very similar qualities.

First good news in weeks. Why should we care . First of all, china is the second largest economy in the world. Since june 12th when the shanghai Stock Exchange at its peak it has tumbled more than 30 , wiping out more than 3 trillion in wealth. Now a lot of people said before this stock market crash, this stock market was really a bubble. It didnt make sense it was the Fastest Growing stock market in the world at a time when the chinese economy itself was growing at a slower rate of speed than it enjoyed in the past. That growth anttracted millions of investors. Housewives and taxi drivers and university students. A lot of the people did not know a lot about investing in the stock market. A lot of them borrowed money to invest. As they have seen the value of their stock plummet, it has created, according to the Chinese Government a mood of panic. The government has been pumping to buy up stocks. It has been freezing ipos and a lot of chinese companies, half listed on the Stock Exchange have suspended buying and selling completely.

We know the greek government has submitted a formal respect. Some sort of debt relief. Will they get debt relief . We know europe is divided on this or some sort of debt restructuring. The messages has been clear from europe. They are not singing from the same hymn sheet. You either put your house in order or you get out. Important to note the majority of people are backing Prime Minister tsipras. There is euphoria on the streets on sunday. You will have a lot of pressure today to submit proposals that europe will be pleased and they go far enough. That includes changing the Pension System and as well reforming its economy and the tax system. People here taking to the streets today to show europe their heart is in it but to show tsipras this is it. This is a time for him to redeliver on the promises that he has been promising all his people since he took power in january.
