thanks for joining us now from springtime molly home first ukraine where the country's army is calling on the president to take urgent steps to calm the ongoing political crisis the country faces its deepest turmoil since its orange revolution and in the latest twist present the chemical which announced on thursday that he was taking an indefinite six sec lead on the move has the many ukrainians wondering just what's next for their country a old or hiding. that's the debate raging in ukraine after esteem and i'm the president when scientists said they did an echo beach was taking indefinite sick leave due to an acute respiratory illness and high fever. many of the opposition believed it so only by the government to buy time. i remember from oro city to view photo of his bat sign that said the ghosts the always here for. some so

that users have to make. and folklore decision. they go to hospital. huddling in freezing temperatures inside them and in protest is remained camped out in central kiev. the st island and spill which provides amnesty to rest the protesters should be conditional on still waiting for the president to sign off on me peeling controversial in thai protest lies the flights will continue with the protesters demands of milk peanuts and everyone of them was fulfilled which was the resignation of the governments of the former prime minister. many of the protesters are calling for ye nicole beach to step down. the other hand the ukrainian interior minister has appealed for calm. very good mostly. but i'm addressing those who value human life that are hungry to know how it was to calm down on either side of the barricade. we citizens of the members of a single

nation. what would be much further. as the ukrainian government finds itself locked in a standoff with protesters. the us administration warned that in many impose sanctions. he and his sister therefore is to quell the demonstration is to be. meanwhile opposition activists who banished for eight days says he was abducted and tortured before being left to die in the cold to meet roadblock time is being cheated in the hospital after being found on the outskirts of the capital kiev pool party this year was found to have been cut off all the time is a member of ultimatum it's a car. a group of car owners have taken part in protests against president speaking and affection. a syrian peace talks are wrapping up in geneva this friday the two warring factions walking away from the negotiating table with few results of the key sticking points remain the role of bashar al assad and the nature of a potential political transition. both

science that sticking to their positions. the un mediator expressing the frustration that no agreement was reached when a convoy to enter the besieged city of homes. we had to do this for months. his outlook is in negotiations. i don't expect that to achieve anything substantive. his left arm he is speaking ill of my mess. i'm joined by a huge national affairs editor douglas herman identities these talks the wrapping up and there's not much to show for them nothing a concrete sign sticking to their position in the first round of talks at least they are suppose to reconvene at some point perhaps that after weeks time. but you know trying to find positive moments in his first round is he's a little bit like proverbial week squeezing blood from a stone as they say and then that diplomats have been pulling out all stops to try to find the positive pr at least they got the two sides finally after three years of civil war and conflict to sit down around the same table. even at times to make eye contact

at least they all stood up yesterday and paid a moment of silence in tribute to the over hunted thirty thousand people estimated to have lost their lives as this conflict has dragged on. like i said lowest common denominator stuff but you're absolutely correct in saying that these two sides leave this first ground as entrenched as ever in their positions. no significant breakthroughs to speak out and very little concrete progress at all whether we're talking about ending the violence itself giant asked whether like you said trying to get humanitarian aid convoys through what even ensuring safe passage for men women and children were besieged in the cities especially the older the old town of the homes which is one of many cities. right now which find themselves besieged on and obviously the political transition process and that whole element the future of pressure that president bush are some stuff that was never in any way shape or form even

broached because why. it sends us not opposed to the agenda which are signed up by focusing his heart focus on what i do receive calls terrorism terrorists now the regime terrorists are all rebel fighters. the west says yes there are some terrorists present done in syria as fighters but not all rebel fighters or terrorists and they do have to switch date they make distinctions there but it was a hard focus on terrorism. he made the diplomat here at the chief envoy has been trying to be the mediator brokering the staffers talks he says that he is hopeful that the more structured discussion in the next round that is very much diplomatic speak for yall to get somewhere in the second round of the one thing coming out of bed this first rounds up some observers they were somewhat surprised by the skin of positions that are appearing more put together more composed. if you will then have been expected considering how a splinter group really is and has been a lot of commentary on both from people who've been at the talks and taking part of the journalists who've been you know watching both parties say closely there is this impression

going in that the opposition coalition with the really much the fractious was the really much divided once the site that could get their act together and that they were basically can be a big basket case when he came to a negotiation to be stopped and they ended up recruited presenting what was a pretty united from sticking to their key talking points. yes insisting that they needed to they wanted to put that transitional government issue in the g tube and regional geneva geneva communique front and center stop to that insisted saying it's useless to and about trying to talk to violence on the ground unless we talk about political transition by which they understand a transition without a shot inside the syrian regime of from the very outset of the foreign minister had bad that muscular exchange that that is heated exchange with as you insert a general ban ki moon insisting that yet more time to speak and tell the guy to shut up but he was a very heated exchange they've been reports of even the russians the staunchest allies of the syrian regime today even the supporters of the syrian delegation there were slightly embarrassed or at least taking the cake and

put off a little bit by the approach of the state delegation for a lot of requests they would use to the delegates the series the kids being out of their out of scenery and being subjected to all these journalists questions about issues that if you raise them in syria on you might not might not be treated to well afterwards. so was a very interesting juxtaposition between these two sides and the expectations of the prophecy of course and not what such comment for this next round which is scheduled to take place on the tenth of february at least that's the date that's been given. there are two national there's better things. meanwhile in other developments washington has accused damascus of dragging its heels and giving up its chemical arms. according to the state department just four percent of syria's deadliest chemical agents have been shipped out of the country for destruction on site had agreed to give up their chemical weapons people wait in fact in the u

knew welcome to the program i'm on call someone bring me the show today from the world economic forum on the way the rocks here and doubles this meeting brings together business leaders politicians officials and economists to debate the states all the well beforehand. this was billed as a post crisis meeting this most blessed be the time when we all got together to talk about long term issues that no longer fearing an imminent financial collapse or a breakup of the eurozone. that said talk more about that now with my guests today the highly respected economist of them pose and he's the president of the pizza stone is achieved when special economics and also when it's said that between two thousand minus two thousand twelve. he was a member of the bank of england's much a policy committee just too just to sort out those details said. let me and ask about double sista has this been a post crisis meeting in

your view. i think it has and therefore it's been interesting to see which governments distinguish themselves so you think about the japanese prime minister coming through and making a very strong statement for future for japan. the reunion we are coming through and making a strong pitch for review to last in economic terms. you had a background hum of a tree. us trade or business michael feldman was one of the most popular book people here which is actually a good sign that people want to talk trade with the us again. so he was a post crisis dallas. but in your attachment to talk about the long term issues and admittedly the people you're not actually is good at dealing with lockyer bishops now from our perspective it seemed like a tree as it sinks me seeing things are not as bad as the geese to be the thing that all great aunt i think that's a fair characterization i think it's cheekily true part of the corporate so part of what

happens the world economic forum is you have a lot of multi national companies from all over the war. and they are still sitting on lots of catch almost universal. and not yet really investing in a little timid not yet knowing what to do with all the catch there's also within the financial sector particularly in europe since they still have to consolidate and build their capital base ahead of upcoming tax to your right cheek in the corporate side to respect and a defense that governments were actually pretty forceful. you say then that this year's meeting has changed. you will view all what the potential risks are in the global economy. i don't worry you know it's it is a key for tv tropes that whatever circumstances that the poster into the wrong sixty bucks for men. and i'm sort of begin at the moment with the consensus that. it seemed really global rates can see. recent argentina which ari become element at the ten weeks can ski race in

india are for sale the concert was a political groups in thailand turkey and so on but nobody seems he's focusing on its spinnaker it's the kind of things that sent markets move in cycles together. we all be missing but the good news is you look at us. china uk japan. a lot of the big economies look pretty subtle. two don't sound too pessimistic but when it comes to the global outlook. no i'm actually not and dom i'm actually more optimistic probably even than the consensus here because i'm a little more worried about europe. the bank stress tests and some a lot less worried about china in the near term comes from. and i think that the emerging markets which of course the term everybody uses here a more differentiated so what use to be called the bricks minus china on all the spare ribs that russia india brazil south africa not doing so great but a whole range of other countries. vietnam poland

she lay dead are seemingly within striking distance to allow no bears down on the emerging markets and the emerging markets except i mean i really do think i really do think there is three years china has its own case i think the green dp a bit of a slowdown in china and my colleagues begins to believe. maybe a bit of a slowdown in china in twenty fourteen but it's mostly good slowdown in china get on sustainable growth path cut corruption. the speculation real estate. then there's russia india brazil south africa which i think are doing just the classic ring of they spent a little too much for luke to lose money ahead of elections and brody too long they are now to pay for it. and then there's this vast world of emerging markets and obviously their places like egypt where people are very concerned that there are so many places along with the buzz here in my experience was was reminding people that stops there in africa in many places make huge strides in recent years. latin america isn't just argentina. things

like that. i was told to the formal central banker in due twenty thirteen was seen as a year when central banks around the world. later that week they called the fed will result in the us states a cat song that printing money kept on churning out money into the us economy and also a he was said to the marriott argued the president of the european central bank ecb single handedly saved the eurozone. do you think that's twenty fourteen will also be a new brand that the central banks will play as big a role. i think they will accept united states the united states the transition from her dainty tea yelling it's not any real change. it's perfectly good. i think it's more that the recovery of us is proof that he did more resilient than we thought that even though last year we have the paper started. we had the next us fiscal policy the us private economy going i was asked about to yell and say she had a safe pair

of pants. she's enormous and had breakfast with us. richie twenty central banker this morning. this year he was saying how prospective candidates are obsolete. its central banks and other parts of the well so i think they said it's not the same thing wrong with that. let's do it now but you look at china where the people's bank is playing a huge role in deciding how quickly to liberalize markets how to shut down so that banks. how much speculation or is in real estate looking to pay and work of nick wrote in his team have really done great things to get cheap and out of fifteen years of deflation without crashing the bond market and that is taking real single minded effort you look at europe the euro area specifically in the cbi think it's probably the most controversial the central bank's rate. on one hand they have taken this huge responsibility for the tests of all to take a picture of scope of the two are quality

repeat. and it's finally up to them. the fate of europe's long term if they do a bad exam and don't tell the truth everyone will lose face if they do good exam. they have to be tough but hope that there's no future it's around thirty four. the most of us are actually quite confident that the ecb tried to retake at the same time on the monetary side. the cd is actually in my opinion and a few others. elise mind missing its mandate coined the maastricht treaty its post to worry about price stability beating inflation your two percent. toss to be attached to money grow on both those criteria. it's very clear that inflation is too little money. love you stated inflation. i think that i feared inflation but not switch for its own sake gone bad. but the patients assigned to the economy. use you generally don't get stained inflation on the market economy in a functioning market um and so

will be half year deflation may lead me be that because some wages go up because the euro is not going to the roof that we don't get literal be cliche but it's not them a card. the imf said in a deflation is a signal europe still has severe problems so severe lack of credit by one. the station basically means folding prices them from a consumer expected that doesn't sound too bad but for the general economy for the corny as a holy it is pre bout that we've seen it before me but to just to clarify issues that inflation is well not just computers go down and prices universities go up to his surprise first up inflation is everything is falling at the same time. on average and that's very bad for people to take no credit because the amount they took out before it now gets harder and harder to pay off it's also very bad for planning

because consumers to see falling prices to a whole pack which produces false more. and so businesses of travel planning. it's also can be hard for a wager or because he can put pressure to overcome their wages even when the rest of the world outside that inflation though is going up to six. it's overtime just to to the european central bank could. are you calling on the european central bank then to do more and to do more heavy lifting so to speak to to revive that the eurozone economy. in my opinion yes i appreciate you putting it that way i think they haven't done the heavy lifting for a couple years even though the situation in europe has not been the earlier he has not been anywhere near good enough millions of people unemployed huge lack of credit for small medium business or outside europe. i did it no investment corporate bastards even a strategic northern europe even if it's a remake should

be fixing this and the key and lock drug use leadership that this forum. buy in summer twenty eleven due to a tokyo empty the promise that it is a panic in our markets last year. but the distant that minimum that was worth doing. but there's so much more a need for central bank with its bank of england the bank of japan. the swiss national bank were served when doing the same circumstance. i want to pick up on the unemployment points a lot of people in the eurozone and also outside the eurozone for the pats are asking when unemployment will stop coming down in the day that these yours and what skills you want to. i think were seen as many people noted. in the bottoming out for. the peak of unemployment can one think of it that way in spain specifically spain has continued to surprise people. and that sort of it's ironic because. he was

the most productive economy of the southern europe before going into the crisis. and so it makes sense it would felt that passes. at least to serve christ sets. but you look around the rest of europe. you look around portugal. you are in ireland you are usually greeks. i'm in now france and it's very hard to see unemployment coming down in any of those countries linear couple of weeks or so from a from your perspective they will still take a few years before unemployment starts coming down in a significant number i hope not a few more years and partly depends in the cbd and apparently depends on whether the so called structural reforms really change things i think another piece of it is that. you don't want to wait a few years because young people are out of work which had been out of work for a while it's very hard to get back get people to want to hire them the skills aren't ready so waiting a few more years to become self filling in our

care. to compose one after that think very much indeed for taking the time speakers thank you. without regard to wrap up that this program from the world economic forum and the last thing she as well for what seemed to stay with us here at islington and mm mm mm. when will we is this. it is. you pay to
