economists say the financial doomsday hasn't even happened yet and politicians are learning the lesson of the last crisis artie's war and it reports. the start of a new working week in the city of london in the eye of an economic storm life goes on as normal but those who work here know that the financial crisis is far from over. but worse to come i think worse still to come i think the world should probably how much more they're talking about the financial crisis we've already had but according to some economists we ain't seen nothing yet certain respected finance is saying that rather than solving the issues that caused the last financial crisis governments and central banks like the bank of england behind me are actually leading us towards an even bigger meltdown and they can't even seem to agree on was to do in europe the powers that be are stopping the money printing

machines over in the u.s. the federal reserve has just announced another round of quantitative easing but who's right nobody is right i mean that's really the problem the difficulty is that when you've drunk three bottles of vodka then you may well think that you're capable of putting the world to right but at the same point in time you know you're going to wake up in the morning with a hangover this is the point where we're working up in the morning with a terrible hangover in a new book the gathering storm a group of finance he has got together to say that governments have learned nothing from this crisis policymakers are up. old models in their economic projections and that could lead to inflation hitting ordinary people hard looking at the fiscal position in terms of the size of the deficits that governments are running in relation to the size of the economy is yes we are we're facing. sort of conditions which would be more. water time than with

a peaceful prosperous development and that doesn't look sustainable for very long term debt will have to be repaid and restructuring will have to begin but in the city there's a fear that people are in denial for sense of security i think yeah i think it's very convenient from a political perspective and overall feel good. to feel better you know people want to feel better you know but it's the fundamentals are not great people are still in denial but. i mean when the tax man starts chasing people who can't buy even though be a problem that idea may come home to roost early as this week when the government announces extensive cuts to public services we shouldn't assume that the period of extreme global weakness which followed the lehman brothers collapse is the worst episode in this long drawn out depression there could be much worse episode still to come. and here in the city of london that would really put the cat among the

pigeons nor am it r.t. london. while the international monetary fund is struggling to boost economic recovery and prevent currency wars the latest meeting in washington fail to reach a breakthrough later peter lavelle and he's crossed i guess discuss whether the iron map has any relevance in the modern world. does it make sense for the united states to be borrowing money from china so that it can lend it to countries like greece so ukraine it doesn't make any sense to me and it's policy which we want which i would want to show that we ought to give the i.m.f. two missions one to help countries that have done nothing wrong have not created big through school deficits big inflation we should help those countries when problems arise in their neighbors sector and we should use the and the i.m.f. to gather information and provide it how can the i.m.f. be relevant if the u.s.

and other large countries don't have to listen. if we didn't have the i.m.f. the only way that countries would help out other countries would be highly politicized based on you know whether you have ethnic immigrants from that country and all kinds of extra political considerations and it would be very hard to make conditionality stick conditionality is by word of i.m.f. program. in just twenty minutes time here on our team and also i had in this this hour of brainstorming and bridge building. the french bank town deville both russian and european leaders for a chinwag to warm up the wage. and u.s. policies in afghanistan aimed at destabilizing soviet forces decades ago by bam find out why americans are losing jobs that's coming up. now it's one of the richest cities in the world home to bankers expensive real estate and luxury
