>>greg: and that is the deal, berlusconi appearing with the finance minister promising to balance the budget a year earlier than hoped to reassure the markets. there is a growing fear that italy will go the way of the other mediterranean members like greece and portugal and italy, the third largest euro zone economy and spain is included, and these countries are too big to bail out and that is why it is serious for europe and the entire globe, but italy needs growth, major reforms. over the past 10 years growth has been 1 percent aee on the average not the figures that make lenders confident of giving italy more money. all eyes are on germany. who theuro, germany is growing, givinghe economy is in good shape but the feeling among the politicians there and among the people, why should we be paying for the rest of europe? why pay for those? it is not a restful vacation for german chancellor. she and other european leaders trying to calm things down and that has worked to a certain degree. finally, the euro zone experiment started out really well and a few years ago they started looking

leaning down to kiss his hand it was an extremely quick turnaround berlusconi and for him they very quickly switched sides to support the rebels was it quick enough because the question now a lot of people want to know is whether the libyan rebels are going to be honoring these extremely lucrative contracts that italy had libya those was signed under the gadhafi regime a lot of people are saying that they will want to and the libyans as you see in the libyan rebel council do have a vested interest in this also is a mutually beneficial situation because as we've seen they've come here wanting to find out about these oil and energy contracts and libya getting a huge amount of money now and frozen for the. rush of critical of the rush by some studies to recognize the opposition. libya's leader should tell us what moscow saying rather latest moves. with the russian foreign ministry today now they said that any. war settlement should be happening exclusively under the supervision of the un we've had an announcement that there's going to be a meeting taking place in september a control gr

that's why the anglo americans hate berlusconi because he's it's close to arsenal friend of putin and because he's an active participant in the south stream pipeline now if you look at this libyan adventurous specifically italy is the biggest loser amy and i the italian state oil company founded by the great and become a tape back in the one nine hundred fifty s. was the principal participant in the libyan oil fields and as you mentioned the italians relied on this right what you see right now is an attempt by the french adventurer sarkozy and his group to essentially push the italians out and what your saw today with the visit of this this character jabril in rome and the lawn is the italians are attempting to pay tribute to the new vandals in benghazi and maybe in tripoli if they're lucky although maybe not the new vandals are demanding tribute so the italians say we'll give you money we'll even give you free oil and gas they're simply trying to counterbalance the inside track that the french have if you look at the situation there you know the last time you had the vandals in north

it is interesting that neil cavuto is crediting the italians and silvio berlusconi and i mention that because there is talk now that berlusconi is open to some sort of a budget agreement to get the books in order. the country is all over the map, and get the numbers in order. by doing that he agrees to something calls and this could ring a bell in this country, a balanced budget amendment. so, silvio berlusconi is entertaining something that many in this country have entertained to win over very reluctant return lenders, that with be the european industrial bank, and i find it interesting that in what is considered the cradle of civilization, it will be my people, my people who save the day with an agreement which the european central banker that keeps them going, avoids the default, that avoids even a big pricey rescue. so, while the world was desperately looking for leadership, the italians provided it. >>trace: and i was kind of hoping the irony would come through. >>neil: zilch. >>trace: what is the biggest concern? is a double dig -- dip crisis concerning you for or the italian?

berlusconi's comments seem little to affect bond yields. the yield is the interest investors demand to hold this debt. i have a report in high haand t italy may default but spain may just escape. this is coming from the center for economics and business research. it's not just the italian bond markets that investors and traders are shying away from. we have the head of trading services in italy for that company. max foster asked him for his own assessment of the country's financial needs going forward from here. >> what we assist in the last session is a self-fulfilling loss of confidence. if you look at maturities for the debt is basically seven years. it's true we got a massive amount of debt outstanding that's equal to 120% of our gdp. we have 1.9 billion euro. the average maturity is seven years. i'd focus more on growth rather than worrying about the short-term problem about italy. >> these debt yields that we've been talking about, these bond yields and the way they've been creeping up, everyone is watching that. it affects confidence

well as we just heard silvio berlusconi hasn't asked for a bailout yet but has he succeeded in calming investors today or do you think a rescue package is inevitable. well i don't think you'll succeed in calming investors but i don't think a bailout will be forthcoming in their future either simply because italy is far too large to be bailed out by the current mechanisms in place in the euro zone i think that if the cancer avoids rising borrowing costs for the short term maybe six months to a year given the size of its economy but in the long term or it will make its debt unsustainable and increase its cost significantly and more importantly will undo the savings that it's making with its its new austerity budget ceasing settings really is a problem there's also you say italy is too large to be bailed out in other words are you saying that the e.u. simply couldn't afford to bail it out. well with its current mechanisms if you look at the size of the financial stability facility it's tops out four hundred forty billion the current market for it is loan is one point six trillion euros so
