All it showed slow slow slow is dislike watching -- chocolate melt basically -- all you have to do is look at the peripherals and Spain.

Where they continue to -- the cost of that funding continues to rise.

That means that they -- be much more risk of default -- what is -- -- you compare that with what's happening in the Germany.

Where actually there are yields are record lows in other words.

People are even cod a -- talk certainly less for holding their debt than they did previously so they going from Spain.

And going into Germany on you know the point to which the UN wants this thing here is -- -- that the Euro hanging.

The eurozone really falling very much as a result of this because it's really deceive the shift from one part of the Euro -- Into the next is opposed to a pullout from the eurozone as a whole and -- -- see what happens when and if that happens.

The austerity measures and then you've got Spain basically.

Being -- slowly and closer and closer towards appalled by this rise in that funding costs and the fact is that basically will not have the money to put it together.
