is youth unemployment. whichld do three things, we believe would create 180,000 jobs for three years. first, to encourage entrepreneurship by giving tax breaks to investors for company formed by under 25s. second, to bridge the gap for employers who employ under 25s who have been underemployed, -- unemployed, so to provide a grant. the other thing would be to provide a grant to encourage employers to take on apprenticeships. apprenticeships are very important to bridge the gap between education and work. in danger of creating a web of initiatives to tackle youth unemployment where maybe focusing attention on one's team -- one scheme where there might

be a better way to go? >> what we are doing is building on to existing schemes. the apprenticeship scheme is already successful. ratio is 12-1. very popular amongst under 25. the government is already going to introduce a tax break. it's not here yet. we try to find a way to get around the bureaucracy and introduce an earlier. the tax break for investors in entrepreneurship builds on the initiative for grant entrepreneurs. focus, youthr main unemployment, training, and enterprise, but there will be other measures to boost business, and part of that will be george osborne's plan to lift exports to one trillion pounds by 2020. you know the stats. that equates to 10% growth

annually for the next seven years. we are nowhere near that right now. how reasonable is that goal of the chancellor george osborne? >> certainly in addition to these measures i have just outlined, we also reminded the chancellor about the other major things he needs to do to create long-term sustainable growth, and one of those is supporting exports. just as the chambers of commerce are helping to rid the gap between employment and education, -- bridge the gap between appointment and education, they are also working to help exporters, particularly small and midsize businesses. we are doing our best, but it's a heroic task to reach those. at the moment all the indications are that in fact it's not working, that the last

couple years exports have not boosted. they have been flatlining. the government needs to invest more in our view in supporting exports and not just finance but practical support for businesses, to help them enter new markets. step to taking a big move from domestic to exports. >> you think the government should target that help exporters, particularly around any type of export? this be about professional services or other types of services? what's your view? it's important to remember that while we have a small and efficient and leading-edge manufacturing sector which can grow, the vast majority of the economy, disproportionately compared to any other economy in the world, except perhaps hong kong, if services, and the u.k.

is really and at services and service center exports across the board. financial services are important. creative, whole range education, and so on. focusing on supporting services is very important. it's quite possible to enter new markets with these services. we are very successful at trading outside the eu in services even though there is no special trade access. >> the bank of england under mark carney has unveiled some ready substantial reforms over the last 24 hours. on perks and on the structure of the bank of england. what more can the bank of england do when it comes to boosting the u.k. economy? >> one of the things that is crucial in relation to bank policy is interest rates.

would be a big mistake to raise interest rates anytime soon. we need to keep low rates to provide better access to finance and lower cost of finance, but if we were to raise interest rates differentially by comparison to other countries, the currency would probably rise, and that would itself dampen the possibility of future export growth we have just in talking about. interest rates are crucial. it's the one thing that has kept the economy above water, and now we have seen growth return to without anybut particular inflation. we should stick to our guns and keep interest rates low for the time being, possibly indicating rising sometime in the future and gradual rises to a relatively low level even then. >> thank you for joining us. the director general of the british chamber of commerce joining us live from westminster. downloads,5 million

they have never been willing to commit. it would be a pretty big boon for ukraine, and it would greatly irritates the russians. russia's policy towards ukraine has always been about spelling european integration, so if the europeans give ukraine affirm integration perspective, many would say that is a bit of a for putin.ent >> we will look for more on the relationship between ukraine and the eu. two moree looking also sanctions as a result of who didn't annexation, the announcement of the annexation plan yesterday of crimea. will there be further sanctions? >> i guess the west has to do something. gauged. ms. there is a lot of talk about calibrating sanctions. misgaugauged -- the u.s.

that's not to say if the situation changes that he wouldn't intervene. he has made clear that russia reserves the right to intervene to protect ethnic russians wherever they may be located. >> there are many other ethnic russians located in former soviet satellites in the region. what are his ultimate aspirations? >> i think if you go back to his more offenses foreign policy strategy, which has been the eurasian union, that has been the strategy. i don't really think he sake.ened for crimea's i don't think it is enough to grant this big trading block. russia plus crimea doesn't this may bede that. his base camp. going into crimea

is a kind of base cap. he will take that for now. i think also he is pretty determined to make sure the administration does not succeed. everything they have done once are things probably a lot of people in russia want, which is rule of law to be governed by a who don't riptes them off. the polls show strong support for european integration, but they don't want just to join the eu. they want the values they think the european union stands for. >> some people think that reason the eu and us have not been quicker and they have been to raise sanctions against russia is because they are very mindful of economic ties, the international links that link the world these days. is that something of a comfort at this time that because of those financial economic links,

escalation if it happens, happens slowly. >> we have had escalation. russian troops went into crimea. the important thing is we don't really know what russia's strategy to ukraine is now. the administration will not succeed unless it normalizes the relationship with russia and structdoesn't adopt at a of strategy. they will make life very difficult for this administration. russia doesn't adopt a destructive strategy. they will have to do something to make sure russia comes to the table and is constructive. i am not sure it will be. that help?-- does >> maybe that would have been a bigger blow than g7. what is a crime in -- happens if crimea nationalizes

>> he tried to point to the stronger growth in offerings, but analysts weren't buying it. aftermarket it is down seven percent. it is down three and a half percent now. it will be interesting in part because for the last 10 quarters they have only had growth more than five percent of sales, and they haven't had above five percent in the last 10 quarters. that shows they have had growth, but it is remarkably flat. the actual growth is $9.31 billion. it is 50 million less than what the estimates were, but it was a myth. they are facing a three front war. they are fighting the likes of microsoft. on business applications customers are moving towards the cloud. the non-hardware they have -- thenn more quarters

because this court rarely overthrows verdicts. >> tell us about something else he is doing. i'm not sure if this is tangential to the court case or whether this is highly linked to it. >> that's the question. 900 miles from rome where he met stillrancis, he is walking. he has been added for a while. he walks between 10 and 20 miles a day. he says he has been trying to draw attention to the message that the financial markets are andng this -- tyranous, people have gotten caught up with emerging markets. others say this is a pr campaign from him, not his first, but the police say it doesn't matter if thee is on the walk verdict is upheld. then that's it. when was a long time ago we interviewed him. >> it's not a kind thing to say, but he's kind of unremarkable.

he's a chain-smoking, quiet man, and when you meet him, as i did when his trial began in 2010, you find it difficult to believe that this is the guy who had 50 billion euros of outstanding , and thensitions became this cold figure in france. three out of four of the french at one point actually said they thought he was a victim. now he has grown his hair. he is a man of god. it's all rather unlikely. italy -- >> no, they have their own financial scandals. >> this was the height of the financial crisis. early 2008 when the global markets were dealing with much bigger issues if that's even than one fairly sizable alleged rogue trade. >> at the time he was the biggest rogue trader, but he has

been replaced. part of his -- he has been able to prove this in court, but he says they were doing it secretly. there was no 5 billion euro loss, so he shouldn't be fined. >> he said he was shocked when he saw this on television. >> there was so much going on in the market. they haven't been brought back just yet. >> the industry has -- the music industry has broken through another barrier. we will tell you more.

hour-long speech. they played a russian and the withad a signing ceremony the head of the crimean parliament ovation, so i think they are going forward, but it's pretty clear. all of that is interesting because the pomp and circumstance you see in moscow belying the situation you see in crimea. you have all these servicemen held up on bases that have to leave because the crimean have declared their independence. last night we had gun battles for the first time. shots were fired. one man killed. the situation is very dangerous going forward. >> we will continue to watch that with the leaders meeting at the end of the week. we are happier, according to "the times." we are happier in the u.k., but we don't feel healthier. apparently, we are happier than compared to a year ago. there has been a one percentage point increase by the people who
