:07:13. > :07:18.is the clear north/south divide. I don't know if we have got it, but I
:07:18. > :07:25.put numbers together. At the bottom of the list or the top of the list,
:07:25. > :07:30.there is the 17.5 million. Spain tops the list with 21.4%. Greece
:07:30. > :07:36.came second, Greece is living off bail out funds and has been since
:07:36. > :07:40.2010, 21.7%. If you head up north the rates are lower. The lowest
:07:40. > :07:46.unemployment in the region is Austria with 4%. You have got the
:07:46. > :07:50.Netherlands at 5% and Germany at 5.6%. There is no doubt, I have
:07:50. > :07:54.been told by the so-called experts, there are many now who will look at
:07:54. > :07:58.the jobless rates and say, "Something has to be done about the

:08:23. > :08:28.start with that. It is astonishing when you look down south at Spain
:08:28. > :08:33.with 21.4% and you look at Austria with 4%? That's right. This
:08:33. > :08:37.diversity across the European Union was one reason the EU was invented
:08:37. > :08:41.and the hole thing is based on a consent that countries in the north
:08:41. > :08:46.will in different ways help the south, not least by buying their
:08:46. > :08:51.products, but of course, it is not really happening at the moment.
:08:51. > :08:54.Manufacturing is incredibly tight particularly in the southern
:08:54. > :09:00.European countries. They are just not producing enough at a price
:09:00. > :09:07.that the world wants to pay and even issues in Germany which has
:09:07. > :09:13.seen consistent growth in employment hitherto, it has really
:09:13. > :09:19.stopped for the time being. Germany saw a fall off, I think it was
:09:19. > :09:23.19,000 people out of work. That maybe a pause for Germany, but even
:09:23. > :09:27.it with the bulk of the big manufacturing in Europe needs
:09:27. > :09:31.customers. I mean do the jobless numbers today
:09:31. > :09:36.give support to those out there there who have been saying for
:09:37. > :09:40.sometime, "The austerity only policies don't work." The
:09:40. > :09:44.international Labour Organisation told us on Monday that austerity
:09:44. > :09:49.only is counter productive. There is no growth and there is no job
:09:49. > :09:54.creation? Well, that's right. It is almost becoming the new orthodoxy
:09:54. > :10:02.within Europe. Mr Holland has been talking a lot about that. Many
:10:02. > :10:11.worry that countries may use it as a fig leave to not -- leaf to not
:10:11. > :10:14.make the difficult decisions. I think there will be a lot of
:10:14. > :10:19.support for a number of things. Firstly, to try and use money
:10:19. > :10:23.that's left in the euro rescue funds for specific projects. The
:10:23. > :10:27.difficulty with this investment in the regions, it does take a long
:10:27. > :10:32.time to trickle through. This is a small amount of money. More
:10:32. > :10:36.immediately, we might see the European Central Bank take interest
:10:36. > :10:40.rates below the 1%. They have their meeting next Thursday, that's
:10:40. > :10:44.something that might happen here. I think too we might see some kind of
:10:44. > :10:47.an effort to cut the punishing interest rates which some of the
:10:47. > :10:51.southern European countries, the countries being rescued that saw
:10:51. > :10:57.those really bad employment figures. We may see some kind of scheme to
:10:57. > :11:00.cut their interest rate. But Based on the willingness of the countries
:11:00. > :11:05.in the north to allow these things to happen as we have seen, most
:11:05. > :11:10.recently in Holland, people are getting resentful of those measures.
:11:10. > :11:13.These are really turbulent and difficult times for Europe, these
:11:13. > :11:19.employment figures will have made it worse.
:11:19. > :11:21.They are sure making it worse. Nigel, great stuff from you as

:11:48. > :11:53.want individual countries to be able to impose their own rules.
:11:53. > :12:01.Well, the senior economist, says the EU rules will be based on

:12:05. > :12:10.-- Basel. This is a typical European argument,
:12:10. > :12:15.not just in banking, but in many product markets. They have the
:12:15. > :12:19.tendency that some countries fear they need more specific national
:12:19. > :12:23.rules which are tougher than the general consensus and other
:12:23. > :12:29.countries are saying we should have the same rules for other countries
:12:29. > :12:33.so all countries can can operate. Now we have the argument between
:12:33. > :12:36.Britain and Sweden who have tougher rules and want the rules to keep
:12:36. > :12:40.their banks safe, whereas other countries have more the common
:12:40. > :12:45.market argument, we should have all the same rules and the rules have
:12:45. > :12:52.to be lower than some gold plated rules that we have in the UK or in

:12:56. > :13:05.moves into its final stages, the two remaining candidates will
:13:05. > :13:08.square up to one another in a TV debate this afternoon. Many will
:13:08. > :13:12.see Nicolas Sarkozy defend his record and Francois Hollande
:13:12. > :13:16.explains how he will do things different. The economy will take
:13:16. > :13:23.centre stage, but what do the candidates have to offer?
:13:23. > :13:29.They seem as different as chalk and cheese. The dapper, flamboyant,
:13:29. > :13:33.Nicolas Sarkozy, up against Francois Hollande. When it comes to
:13:33. > :13:37.economic policy, Francois Hollande has been getting the loudest cheers.
:13:37. > :13:41.France is at a cross roads, the economy is stagnating and
:13:41. > :13:44.unemployment stands at nearly 10%, the Government is under pressure to
:13:44. > :13:49.bring its budget deficit under control and contain its debts and
:13:49. > :13:54.it is how they plan to do that which separates the two candidates.
:13:54. > :13:58.Nicolas Sarkozy, prefers the austerity preached by Germany,
:13:58. > :14:01.keeping a tight lid on public spending. It suits the markets, but
:14:02. > :14:05.it is proving unpopular as people worry about jobs and Social
:14:05. > :14:09.Security. Francois Hollande rejects that. He
:14:09. > :14:13.wants to focus on boosting growth instead. It is a strategy that
:14:13. > :14:21.seems to be winning votes, but there maybe less clear daylight
:14:21. > :14:27.between the two than meets the eye. There is no big desire with
:14:27. > :14:31.Francois Hollande and a new classical programme with Sarkozy.
:14:31. > :14:33.When you look at the figures for spending, for the deficit, it is
:14:33. > :14:37.close close. Perceptions matter when it comes to
:14:37. > :14:44.France's relationship with Europe. Francois Hollande pledged to

:15:59. > :16:06.started speaking? We were expecting her to start talking about 10
:16:06. > :16:11.minutes ago. Since then we found out that for Gareth Williams'
:16:11. > :16:16.family this is a huge day for them. It has been 20 months since his
:16:16. > :16:21.body was discovered. Since then the family have always insisted it is

:16:26. > :16:30.agency was one at that was familiar with what they called the dark arts

:16:36. > :16:40.suspicious. There were met leading that investigation said she also
:16:40. > :16:47.believes a third party was involved. It is worth reminding viewers this
:16:47. > :16:50.is not a trial, this is an inquest. The coroner will be seeking to

:17:27. > :17:32.hand and we are expecting that to start in the next 10 minutes and
:17:32. > :17:38.for the verdict to take up to two hours to deliver. It is a narrative
:17:38. > :17:43.verdict, she will talk about the validity of some of that evidence.
:17:43. > :17:49.Yes, she had various options open to her. She has said she is going
:17:49. > :17:54.to rule out unlawful killing and an open verdict. And narrative verdict
:17:54. > :17:59.says the evidence she has heard means she has not been able to

:18:04. > :18:10.time and space to raise concerns and criticisms. I can tell you over
:18:10. > :18:14.the last eight days there have been a number of those. One is concern

:20:49. > :20:55.shook their hands and then he went into the room they had got ready
:20:55. > :21:01.for him. During the hours he spent with them he ate dinner which they
:21:01. > :21:06.had prepared, chicken curry and rice. He offered prayers and then
