:04:20. > :04:24.The US Department looks set to announce these details very soon. To

:04:25. > :04:47.talk through some of this, I am joined by the director. A big blow

:04:48. > :04:53.for one of its biggest lenders, . Yes, this is a big fines. I don't

:04:54. > :04:57.think it is catastrophic, I am short BNP Paribas shares will be

:04:58. > :05:08.absolutely clobbered when markets open today. The broader question,

:05:09. > :05:16.talked about the financial stability. I do think it shows that

:05:17. > :05:20.the dangers within the eurozone banking system have not gone away.

:05:21. > :05:25.Markets have been behaving as though they have, as though the problems

:05:26. > :05:29.have gone and it just shows that these things can sometimes come out

:05:30. > :05:34.of left field. It is actually nothing to do with the eurozone, it

:05:35. > :05:42.is a problem elsewhere. As you say, it is a big number, it eclipses that

:05:43. > :05:49.paid by others. It shows that US regulators are really going after

:05:50. > :05:56.these situations but what about this decision to ban them from trading in

:05:57. > :06:01.US dollars for a matter of months? That Premat locks BNP Paribas out of

:06:02. > :06:07.business for a while, doesn't it? Yes, you would think that is the

:06:08. > :06:15.most serious part of the issue. To be cut out of US dollars trading is

:06:16. > :06:18.effectively to be cut out of global markets and how long that goes on

:06:19. > :06:25.for will determine how big the hit is. Thank you for your thoughts on

:06:26. > :06:30.this. Tom will return and talk through the papers. As soon as we

:06:31. > :06:36.get any confirmation on those details, we will let you know. Let's

:06:37. > :06:39.look at some other stories. Bulgaria's government says it is

:06:40. > :06:43.ready to put money into the country 's four figures bank to head off a

:06:44. > :06:50.crisis in Bulgaria's financial sector. On Friday, they were forced

:06:51. > :06:58.to take control of a commercial bank after customers queued up to take

:06:59. > :07:05.their money out. The bank has debts of more than three and a half

:07:06. > :07:09.billion dollars. Google has much most of the outside

:07:10. > :07:18.world with Street view, now it aims to open our homes. The Startup

:07:19. > :07:26.technology allows you to monitor your home remotely from your home or

:07:27. > :07:35.computer. It means customers will be able to control everything, from the

:07:36. > :07:43.temperature too many cans `` nanny`cams.

:07:44. > :07:48.Retailers and businesses are closing early to watch the Brazil game is,

:07:49. > :07:52.cities are coming to a standstill, so what effect is this having on the

:07:53. > :08:00.economy that is already slowing down? Our reporter has more from Sao

:08:01. > :08:03.Paulo. When the Brazilian team is playing,

:08:04. > :08:08.traffic ahead of the game is not pretty. Everyone wants to get home

:08:09. > :08:13.to watch the match. For those who can't make it, businesses are still

:08:14. > :08:17.making time for football. This past a shop closes for each game,

:08:18. > :08:23.employee is getting to watch each game. With banks and other

:08:24. > :08:27.businesses, it is like a public holiday. A close and don't reopen

:08:28. > :08:32.after the match because you have to be careful, the bank isn't open,

:08:33. > :08:38.neither is the post office. If you leave it too late to pay a bill, you

:08:39. > :08:42.will struggle. Brazilians have priority. Sao Paulo is Brazil's

:08:43. > :08:47.financial capital and its biggest city. I am on a commercial Street

:08:48. > :08:54.that is normally packed, and it is rush`hour. As you can see, all the

:08:55. > :08:59.stores are closed. Business is taking time off. While the

:09:00. > :09:07.Brazilians are taking time to enjoy the tournament, the economy grew by

:09:08. > :09:12.just not .3% in this half of the year, people were very negative

:09:13. > :09:18.about the prospects in the run`up to the World Cup. I think that the

:09:19. > :09:26.confidence of the country is gradually improving as the

:09:27. > :09:35.tournament is evolving. I think that it could help little bit. For Bruno

:09:36. > :09:44.and his past a company, his workers are happy, even if their team

:09:45. > :09:54.doesn't always score. It has been a bumpy day. Markets.

:09:55. > :10:09.Our reporter has more. Nice to see you. As you say, shares are

:10:10. > :10:19.plunging. That is after Bumi failed to get Bond shares. Shares of Bumi

:10:20. > :10:30.resources plunged, the company was part of a failed venture between

:10:31. > :10:35.Nathaniel Rothschild. The head of the family has actually abandoned

:10:36. > :10:39.his presidential bid in Indonesia. He had been one of the contenders

:10:40. > :10:44.standing for election there. Is the bondholders met on Friday to discuss

:10:45. > :10:53.the changes to the terms but the resolution required support, but

:10:54. > :11:00.that meeting didn't achieve the number of voters that it needed.

:11:01. > :11:07.Thank you very much at. It is slightly higher in Asia. I will see

:11:08. > :11:23.you soon when we look through the papers.

:11:24. > :11:28.Nearly 23,000 children have been taken into care in England in the

:11:29. > :11:29.last urban years. That is
