joining me from brussels is the defense coordinator. this will get harder and harder to convince countries to pay up, because many seem to be heading for the exit door at the moment. >> it is key to counteract that impression. australia said on tuesday they would bring back troops by the end of 2013. earlier than most people thought. the overall strategy does not change, but the timing and process of transitioning from those nato combat troops, that will go ahead as scheduled. they did talk about the funding issue, because it is about $4 billion or so that it will cost to train every year. it will be something like $12 billion a year on the training. that is something that not only nato views as a special duty as a whole. to do security of a fetus and is important for everyone, not just nato. i think they're very keen indeed to not making a hasty withdrawal and to look forward to the heads of state meeting in chicago. -- to do security forces is important for everyone, not just nato. i suspect a lot of people within afghanistan will fee

do you think greece should carry on cutting in the way brussels is asking? " thethey have to stop," he tells me. "there will be trouble. people do not have anything more to give." a large number of people are expected to vote on parties that want to turn their back on the brussels-imposed austerity. if that happens, there are those who fear this country could be charting a very different course, one that takes it out of the euro, with all the massive implications for this continent that that would bring. wind your way around this country and you find exhaustion. greece is defeated, crumbling. that is changing politics. the same old faces have governed here for decades. in the local council, they know the two main parties who pushed through the cuts are now losing support. the new mayor, an independent, does not believe anyone has the vision to save his country. >> the plan is to win the election. it is the plan for 15 days. we want a plan for the next 15 years and we do not have anything. >> what they need is growth, but the orange groves are about the only

the uruguay round had collapsed in brussels in 1991. we came home and begin to negotiate the nafta. president george h.w. bush signed in december of 1992 and it was put through congress the following year. within four or five minutes we completed the uruguay round. people came back. they did not want to have the north american market, which was so large to not have the benefits for the global economy. my friend to my lectures thinks that delhi is that. i agree it is on life-support, but i also believe there is a way to bring it back. any still on my left.
