[31 May 2012] Euro-crisis to deepen due to bad banking - English The EU's Economics Commissioner Olli Rehn says eurozone leaders must anchor their actions in more austerity if the eurozone is to avoid "disintegration" amid the economic crisis. Rehn believes that "default or disintegration" would likely cause much greater pain for Europe's citizens than further unpopular austerity and reforms, as it "would lead to terrible depression in Europe and around the world." His remarks come as EU leaders have been struggling to ease the Europe economic crisis and amid concerns over a Greek exit from the debt-stricken eurozone. Press TV has conducted an interview with Rodney Shakespeare, professor of binary economics from London, to further discuss the issue.

Las noticias más importantes de la mayoría de los canales de noticias de todo el mundo giran en torno a la crisis de Siria. Cada hora, los medios de comunicación lanzan noticias sobre la crisis siria. Los disturbios en Siria comenzaron en marzo de 2011, y se tornaron, más tarde, en una violenta guerra civil. Se estima que la cifra de muertos en Siria supera las 100 mil personas; la guerra ha obligado a millones de sirios a abandonar sus hogares, cruzar fronteras y buscar refugio en los países vecinos. Según algunas estimaciones, los sirios han perdido más de 15 millones de dólares desde el comienzo del conflicto. La crisis no es sólo un revés interno para Siria, sino que es un grave problema, no sólo para sus vecinos, sino para muchos países en el mundo. La mayor parte de los países vecinos de Siria apoyan a los grupos de la oposición, junto a los EE.UU. y algunos países europeos, que buscan la diplomacia basada en las armas. http://www.hispantv.com http://www.facebook.com/Hispantv http://plus.google.com/+hispantv http://twitter.com/Hispantv http://hispantv.com/​Frequencies.aspx

Ukraine has been hit with a wave of political unrest since late November when President Viktor Yanukovych refused to sign a trade pact with the European Union. The refusal to sign the deal triggered major street protests by the opposition supporters, who want Ukraine to become closer to the EU and distance itself from Russia. Clashes erupted several times between the anti-government protesters and police forces during the demonstrations. Several arrests were made in the course of the protests as well. In an effort to calm the political unrest, Yanukovych on Wednesday invited all parties, including the opposition, to engage in dialog to resolve the crisis facing the country. Ukrainian opposition leaders rejected Yanukovych\'s offer of negotiations, calling for dismissal of his government and release of detained protesters. Russia has criticized Western nations for interfering in Ukraine, saying protests against Kiev\'s decision to back away from the EU deal were destabilizing the former Soviet state. The Russian parliament, the State Duma, in a non-binding statement on Tuesday urged the West to \"stop mounting external pressure on the politics of a country that is brotherly to us.\" The lower house of parliament also called on Ukrainian opposition forces to \"stop illegal actions\" over the political crisis.
