But to deprive ourselves of greece, its not only depriving ourselves of a country with its gdp, its people but also deprive ourselves of a country which is at the very heart of our civilization. It does not only belong to our history, but also to our culture, our way of living. Greece is country, a friend of europe who which wished to enter into europe after years of dictatorship. So there might have been discussions as to its capability of making this transition possible this entry into the eurozone possible. But all the democratic parties stated that they wanted to stay within the eurozone. They might have made another choice but they wanted to remain within the eurozone. Duty was to enable them to stay within the eurozone but also solution was to be made possible. Nothing would have been worse to keep them in a monetary zone without allowing for their development. And this is why the negotiations were lengthy negotiations. But we reached a historical solution. Had greece left the eu

So i wanted to also ask about this idea, weve heard a lot about sanctions. And sanctions as i understand, iran has written the United Nations on july 20th about the sanctions regime. And one of the issues that has concerned me about this agreement is that once the sanctions, the long list of mainly congressally mandated sanctions that will be lifted under this agreement are undertaken if iran for example, engaged in terrorist activity, which is known to do, separate from the Nuclear Program, iran seems to have taken the position in its letter to the u. N. And ive actually read the agreement, and ive been concerned that the agreement provides the same that in fact, iran says it has understood that reintroduction or reimposition including through extension of the sanctions and restrictive measures will constitute significant nonperformance which would relieve iran from its commitments in part or in whole. So my question is as i read this, im deeply concerned that if we want to reimpose t
Supporting their economies and also containing debt and asset prices. If you look at what is happening in australia moving further into the rest of the year, maybe more, and the other side of that same coin is you have home prices. In sydney, something they have not seen in at least a decade. Another good example of that is to take it take a look at what is happening in south korea.

And looking at taiwan, the biggest mover so far in asia this multiyear bull run. And we pushed past 10,000 at one point this year, under increasing threat. We are approaching the 8500 level at this point. The previous low was back in october of last year. Below that, we are headed to about 7900. I will leave it there for now. Back to you. Rishaad well, we had david alluding to china, and the Manufacturing Survey showin
Hater of humanity. But the terrible massacre in las vegas forces to us confront an uncomfortable reality. The government cannot keep us safe. This is not a novel or arcane observation. But a rational conclusion from knowing history and observing everyday life. In europe where the right to keep and bear arms is nonexistent, killers strike with bombs and knife and trucks. In america people use guns and only stop when they themselves are stopped by law abiding civilians using their own guns or by the police. This exquisite constitutional violation actually results in too much information for the feds to examine in a timely manner. This leaves us in a very precarious position today. The government cannot keep us safe and it claims it can. It wants to interfere with our natural rights to selfdefense. In whatever arena it keeps us less safe and falsely fosters the impression we are safe, we become less free. This weeks mass shooting in las vegas caused emotional debate over the true meaning
