4:10 am
and the event that the government decides that something's happening that we ought to know about now just as the introduction of the patriot act came right after nine eleven so this new kind of technological invasion comes to us without any public discussion right after the assassination of osama bin laden and why you professor and author mark crispin miller says americans are living in an age of creeping authoritarianism and scare tactics they use fear for any kind of government that would create more control over people's lives and thoughts is that it makes people malleable it makes them obedient i mean you go to any airport today . and you can see this in action or meekly taking off their shoes moving to getting groped under the auspices of airport safety babies senior citizens and everyone in between must now endure pat downs or pass through body scanners before boarding in

a look in the for leading emerging economies say it's time someone else erica. reports on how the are brics countries are brazil russia india china and south africa don't take no for an answer. it's a change they don't believe in with the former director dominic stross current out of the financial picture there in addition is looking for a suitable replacement and while the current financial situation in europe may suggest a new approach is needed to solve the problems by looks of it the i.m.f. will go in the other direction the weight of tradition and also the fact that there has been a longstanding deal between the united states and europe the u.s. will have the world bank and europe has the fun i'm sure the europeans would convince all leading thinkers on the matter that at this juncture you still need someone familiar with the problems of the eurozone is the french finance minister christine lagarde and while europeans heal her as one of the strongest economists
4:14 am
in the euro zone some remain skeptical about her progress and christine lagarde complex. i think. more of the same because one is that you can sustain it's not obvious you know greece. default and. even leaving europe so they may not be able to maintain these policies but the trend is for them to continue to try greece is debt is one of the high speed unfortunately are too far ahead and soon to find themselves in a very similar situation. person asking why it was to be even now and what happened to promises of friendship basis some at first seem to have very short memories i think that if christine guys get the job i think it will be a trio of the i.m.f. . if you remember dominic strauss only

portugal italy and spain are all for under god sex scandals broken pledges deepening debt as europe attempts to untangle itself from its fiscal chaos it seems clear that in your approach is vital to stay afloat but the international monetary fund seems to focus more on keeping rising economies out of the picture than on solving the many problems it now faces it involves r.t. . well i did this r.t. hears from one on european and he's a guy who supports for i.m.f. top of the head of kazakhstan's national ranks says it's about time europe's monotony ended some of what he has to say. developed countries and the european countries would like to maintain this the people's work which is not necessarily for here and i think change is. already started probably we do not go far enough. developing countries are sort of
