:01:21. > :01:24.There's been a cautious but positive response from stock
:01:24. > :01:29.markets around the world to news of what eurozone leaders have
:01:30. > :01:32.described as a vital deal to contain the debt crisis. Emerging
:01:32. > :01:35.bleary-eyed in the early hours of the morning, they announced the
:01:35. > :01:40.outlines of a package, which include a boost to the EU's bailout
:01:40. > :01:43.fund and a 50% write-off of Greek debt held by private banks. There
:01:43. > :01:53.are still plenty of details that need to be worked as our Europe
:01:53. > :01:59.
:01:59. > :02:04.Your report the news that against expectations, its leaders had
:02:04. > :02:11.agreed on a plan to fix the Eurozone crisis. It might not have
:02:11. > :02:14.been it the basilica that some people had been calling for, but
:02:14. > :02:19.during a long Brussels night, some were claiming that the Euro had
:02:19. > :02:25.been saved. We will have to wait for a couple of days just to be
:02:25. > :02:29.sure. Stock markets around the world and that -- enjoyed abounds.
:02:29. > :02:33.The Eurozone had been seen as increasing the risk of a global
:02:33. > :02:39.depression. Euro's leaders had been under enormous pressure to reach an
:02:39. > :02:44.agreement. At 4 am, Europe at's two most powerful leaders stepped into
:02:44. > :02:47.the spotlight. TRANSLATION: I am very aware, as we
:02:47. > :02:51.all are, that the world is watching us closely tonight.
:02:51. > :02:54.I think that we Europeans proved that we came to the right
:02:54. > :02:58.conclusion. TRANSLATION: I think the result
:02:58. > :03:05.will be welcomed by the entire world.
:03:05. > :03:11.I think these decisions have been taken. Away from the summit, others
:03:11. > :03:19.were more cautious, seeing progress but seeing the outcome as just
:03:19. > :03:22.another step. We are much better today than we were yesterday and
:03:22. > :03:30.it's very important to keep up the momentum of this work and keep
:03:30. > :03:34.people's confidence, that is the critical thing. So, what was in the
:03:34. > :03:38.big deal? Banks that would have been destined to be swatted losses
:03:38. > :03:44.of up to 50%, producing a Greek dead. This will mean that Europe's
:03:44. > :03:48.banks will have to raise more capital. And the EU's main bail-out
:03:48. > :03:54.fund will be boosted to one trillion Euros, to protect
:03:54. > :03:58.countries like Italy. It is wise to be cautious. A lot of the crucial
:03:59. > :04:03.detail is missing from this plant and will not be known for weeks.
:04:03. > :04:06.What the markets like is that it signals that Europe are's leaders
:04:07. > :04:12.have finally tried to take control of our debt crisis that began in
:04:12. > :04:20.the goodies. In Greece today, at their country's debts were said to
:04:20. > :04:25.be manageable. Here too, there were -- if they were cautious. Key
:04:25. > :04:29.details of the bail-out fund will not be Nicola sated until November.
:04:29. > :04:34.They have stopped their neural from collapsing today, or even perhaps
:04:34. > :04:40.tomorrow, but they definitely have not saved it. We're not out of the
:04:40. > :04:45.woods. Last night's most tricky decisions were taken here by the
:04:45. > :04:51.Eurozone leaders. The UK, not to being in the Euro, was not
:04:51. > :04:58.represented. It represents -- it raises questions about whether
:04:58. > :05:01.there will be a two-tier Europe. Europe's early morning debt deal
:05:01. > :05:04.has received a warm reaction in the markets, seen as a step to shore up
:05:04. > :05:08.the euro and lift the threat of contagion. The BBC's chief economic
:05:08. > :05:14.correspondent, Hugh Pym looks at the details and the implications.
:05:14. > :05:19.There is agreement on tackling the Eurozone crisis after weeks of
:05:19. > :05:26.debate. What is the detailed? We have been told that 50% of the
:05:26. > :05:35.Greek debt owed to private inspectors will be written off. --
:05:36. > :05:40.investors. It still needs approval. Most if not of the banks have
:05:40. > :05:45.agreed to the 50% write-off. That is one part of the announcement
:05:45. > :05:50.this morning that from our perspective was quite clear. There
:05:50. > :05:56.is a lot more details still to come on another key part of the package.
:05:56. > :06:00.That is the one trillion Euro bail- out fund. The idea is to take
:06:00. > :06:04.existing funding and encourage other investors to come on board.
:06:04. > :06:09.It is unclear who will pay for it. An approach will be made to the
:06:09. > :06:14.Chinese government to seek involvement in the new fund. They
:06:14. > :06:20.could act as an insurer, covering a portion of losses by future
:06:20. > :06:25.investors. Perhaps the biggest question of all is well it will
:06:25. > :06:29.work? We do not know with the size of the bail-out fund is enough or
:06:29. > :06:33.whether it will provide enough firepower to calm investors. We do
:06:33. > :06:38.not know whether it will help economic growth, which is key for
:06:38. > :06:43.future stability. We only will get out of a debt problem if these
:06:43. > :06:48.economies are still growing and for that, only time will tell. There is
:06:48. > :06:53.nothing they can deliver it to last over night that could make us say
:06:53. > :06:56.absolutely that these economies are on a sustainable path. We need to
:06:56. > :07:02.see that whether a politically this austerity can be delivered and hid
:07:02. > :07:07.economies react in the face of it. The financial markets have taken an
:07:07. > :07:12.optimistic view of the agreement. As we have seen all too often,
:07:12. > :07:15.moods can shift quickly on Eurozone bail-out to deals.
:07:15. > :07:22.Sony Kapoor is Managing Director of the economic Thinktank Re-Define.
:07:22. > :07:26.He joins me now from Brussels. A lot of the problem that investors
:07:26. > :07:30.have a with this agreement is the detail, the lack of detail. Let us
:07:30. > :07:38.start with the banks. They are supposed to recapitalise to the
:07:38. > :07:43.tune of 1 billion euros. Where will they get that money from? If you
:07:43. > :07:47.look at the details below the 106 billion figure, I think three-
:07:47. > :07:51.quarters of it is expected to be raised by countries that a rider in
:07:51. > :07:55.programmes, such as Greece, Portugal, Ireland or the two
:07:55. > :08:05.countries for whom this will packages designed, which is Spain
:08:05. > :08:06.
:08:06. > :08:13.and Italy. As of today, the he FFS cannot invest in banks directly. It
:08:13. > :08:18.can only lend directly to Spain, which can then invest in the week
:08:18. > :08:22.regional banks, which need to be strengthened. The problem is that
:08:22. > :08:26.at 10 billion increase in the sovereign debt of Spain might wipe
:08:26. > :08:29.out any benefits that might arise from a 10 million recapitalisation
:08:29. > :08:35.of the week banks, because those weak banks are heavily exposed to
:08:35. > :08:39.the Spanish sovereign debt. So we have not found a way of addressing
:08:39. > :08:43.that problem. The second missing think is the detail on were the
:08:43. > :08:48.banks will get funding from. Right now, they are only able to raise
:08:48. > :08:52.money from the European Central Bank, only for one year. One parent
:08:52. > :08:59.-- long-term funding is being cut across the board. There was no
:08:59. > :09:02.agreement on that. Is there not a risk that banks will cut their
:09:02. > :09:07.balance sheets by stopping lending, and then you have an economic
:09:07. > :09:12.crisis? I think that is already going on. Let us turn out to the
:09:12. > :09:16.size of the fund. This looks woefully inadequate. Italy and
:09:16. > :09:20.Spain need to win a trillion Euros just in a refinancing so that the
:09:20. > :09:27.size of the fund the likes are really quite inadequate at this
:09:27. > :09:31.point and one wonders if the next plan is to turn to China? That is
:09:31. > :09:35.part of their discussion. It is not that Spain and Italy cannot access
:09:35. > :09:40.the market, they can. In fact, every time they have gone to the
:09:40. > :09:43.markets, they have been able to be finance and sell new bonds. The
:09:43. > :09:49.problem is they are only able to do this at high interest rates which
:09:49. > :09:52.are simply not sustainable. The idea behind this partially
:09:52. > :09:56.guaranteed mechanism is not to borrow from the markets and then
:09:56. > :10:02.lend as has been done in the case of the smaller economies of
:10:02. > :10:06.Portugal and Ireland, but to partly ensure that the borrowings that
:10:06. > :10:14.Spain and the play or try and deceit from the markets from now,
:10:14. > :10:18.the idea being that this might somehow reassure investors into
:10:18. > :10:21.getting them to lend to Italy and Spain at war industries than their
:10:21. > :10:27.currently ready to do so. What needs to be done is that these
:10:27. > :10:31.interest rates need to be brought down, for example, below the 4.5%
:10:32. > :10:37.level. It is impossible to say if this will succeed, because the
:10:37. > :10:42.exact size and how far we can stretch it will only get in on the
:10:42. > :10:45.ones we know what investors will accept. The test of the market will
:10:45. > :10:50.determine whether the scales or succeed. The right now, it looks
:10:50. > :10:57.temporary. And in the longer term, the plan is that euro-zone
:10:57. > :11:01.countries will integrate further, so that they would look at how the
:11:01. > :11:07.other countries within the euro- zone are spending. That,
:11:07. > :11:12.automatically, automatically alienates not only countries in
:11:12. > :11:16.Europe but outside the euro-zone. It is not a sustainable solution.
:11:16. > :11:21.If we were talking about a small economy, for example the way that
:11:21. > :11:28.Sweden was in the early 90s, austerity can and does help
:11:28. > :11:36.generate growth. We're talking about the second largest economic
:11:36. > :11:40.region in the world having austerity at the the same time that
:11:40. > :11:47.the economy is degenerating. There is no magic here. No one is coming
:11:47. > :11:50.from outside. India and China are simply not big enough. We have a
:11:50. > :11:55.small problem aware and a confusion has been made between what is
:11:55. > :12:01.appropriate for a small economy and what is appropriate, for example,
:12:01. > :12:06.for Germany. That has been applied to all of the 27 members. Even more
:12:06. > :12:13.aggressively, with in the Euro Octavia, 17 countries. That's what
:12:13. > :12:17.will increase between the countries within the 17 the Euro Adia member
:12:17. > :12:21.states which are forced to take tighter instructions from a
:12:21. > :12:31.centralised authority, compared to those 10 countries which are not

:22:18. > :22:22.I don't think so. If you were in a trap some divinity would have
:22:22. > :22:30.happened, but as of now I believe we are positive, moving positively

:22:44. > :22:50.there is growing concern about the impact of all of this on the
:22:50. > :22:54.region's biggest economy. For years Kenya has kept the anarchy in

:23:02. > :23:09.abruptly. By invading its neighbour Kenya has taken a big gamble. In
:23:09. > :23:19.Nairobi at the doubts are already surfacing. -- the doubts. They are
:23:19. > :23:25.hard to defeat. So Kenya made a mistake? I think so. But for now,
:23:25. > :23:31.Kenya's army pushes on deeper into the chaos of Somalia. With no exits

:23:35. > :23:38.no doubt that the Chinese influence is being felt around the globe and
:23:38. > :23:41.now that reach extends to Broadway. Alongside Phantom of the Opera and
:23:41. > :23:43.Les Miserables you will now find Chinglish - a new comedy which uses
:23:43. > :23:46.cultural tension and the communication gap between the
:23:47. > :23:56.Chinese and the English language to leave audiences laughing. Damian

:24:05. > :24:10.Musicals from Porgy and Bess to Mamma Mia! Had long been a Broadway
:24:10. > :24:16.staple. So it comes as a big surprise to find a new play all
:24:16. > :24:20.about the language barrier between America and China. Chinglish is
:24:20. > :24:24.written in English and Mandarin. For the first time at the Chinese
:24:24. > :24:34.has arrived on Broadway. Cleveland isn't exactly farming, though I
:24:34. > :24:34.
:24:34. > :24:37.suppose it was at one time. Chinglish tells the story of a
:24:37. > :24:41.struggling American businessman trying to win a contract to make
:24:41. > :24:47.signs for public buildings in China. Along the way he falls in love with
:24:47. > :24:52.a Chinese official. Chinglish is about attempts to communicate
:24:52. > :24:56.across cultures and the barriers that separate us, the most
:24:56. > :24:59.superficial of those is language, but then sometimes, even if you're
:24:59. > :25:02.understanding the words literally you may as well be speaking a
:25:02. > :25:07.different language because some of the other line cultural assumptions
:25:07. > :25:12.are so different. Chinglish actually exists in China in the
:25:12. > :25:16.form of absurdly translated signs in garbled English. But cultural
:25:16. > :25:20.differences run even deeper than words. To make the play as
:25:20. > :25:25.authentic as possible the producers of Chinglish tend to Ken Smith and
:25:25. > :25:32.Joanna Lee, who served as the play's cultural advisers. You now
:25:32. > :25:36.find American, British businessmen in the middle of nowhere in China,
:25:36. > :25:41.India, how do they navigate? How do they find their hotel room, be able
:25:41. > :25:48.to stay there, get what support and help they need on the ground so
:25:48. > :25:52.they can get their deal? So while Chinglish is played for laughs,
:25:52. > :26:02.there is no doubt it taps into a deeper cultural anxiety between the
:26:02. > :26:02.
:26:02. > :26:08.West and China. A reminder of the main news - there has been praised
:26:08. > :26:11.for a European leaders around the world following the euro-zone debt
:26:11. > :26:15.agreement. President Obama said the deal was a critical foundation for
:26:15. > :26:20.a solution to the euro-zone crisis. European leaders worked until the
:26:20. > :26:25.early hours of the morning to agree a deal, which includes a boost to
:26:25. > :26:30.the bail-out fund and a 50 per cent write-off of Greek debt held by
:26:30. > :26:35.private banks. Thousands of people are leaving Bangkok after the

:26:42. > :26:47.of an emergency five-day holiday declared by the authorities to deal

:27:04. > :27:09.south-east England overnight leaving cloud around, keeping the
:27:09. > :27:15.temperature up. Overnight it will be chilly, a frosty start in places
:27:15. > :27:18.tomorrow but they will also be a bigger problem with fog. The high
:27:18. > :27:21.pressure will settle things down for Friday before more frontal
:27:21. > :27:25.systems come into the north-west over the weekend. For to start the
:27:25. > :27:28.morning could be dense over parts of south-west England, through the
:27:28. > :27:32.Severn Valley to East Wales and the West Midlands, some even may linger
:27:33. > :27:39.into the first part of the afternoon. Any early fog will clear

:27:43. > :27:48.15 degrees in London, it might not feel like that because of the cloud
:27:48. > :27:51.that stays across us. They could be patchy drizzle on higher ground.
:27:52. > :27:59.Sunshine in south-west England but sunspots may stay grey through the
:27:59. > :28:03.Severn Valley. If you have low cloud or mistiness that will halt
