ok. next i will say fish after not say me is one of the world's leading experts on u.s. foreign policy walter russell mead explains the way the land lives for america's global future. walter russell mead thank you very much for being with us today sir good to be here it's a pleasure how you call twenty first century the wild this roller coaster ride in the history of time that eris i wonder what spills and thrills to expect before the ride is done well when you look at the way the internet is already changing everyone's lives you look at how migration is sending people all over the world you look at how the world economy since two thousand has just been up and down and up

and down this is much more thrilling than life use to be i was in i came to this part of the world for the first time back in the one nine hundred eighty s. and very little had happened politically for a very long time i think in some ways the unfreezing in russia began unfreezing in other parts of the world we're seeing it today in the arab spring not necessarily for better not necessarily for worse but for more interesting what do you make of the violence that there is right now in the world has it always been that way and just weren't aware or has it got to really worse well it you know it kind of ebbs and flows in the world i mean you think about china in the one nine hundred fifty s. russia in the one nine hundred thirty s. you think about germany of course in the thirty's and forty's so there's been times when the pace of death was faster than it is now but also times when it was slower . you look at the war in the congo and people say as many as two million people

have been killed in a series of civil and international conflicts in the congo in the last ten years and i'm afraid that as we have more technology. we don't become better we simply become more able to do things both good and bad that is technology doesn't change who we are as human beings but it turns up the volume so that we are able to express whatever is in us good or bad more fully so you think it brings the good that's good out of us as much as the bad as the bad we're all the same as before we are just louder there is the belief that china is in the prior revolutionary state i wonder why does it have anything to do with excited that it's getting older faster than it's getting richer well that's a problem for china you know pre-revolutionary i don't think i've ever used quite that word but what i see is that the chinese government is

a stream of the competent i have nothing but admiration for their ability to manage a growing economy and so on and certainly you look at thousands of years of chinese history in many ways this government has delivered more for more people than any other but at the same time every success they have at fostering more growth more development means to have a more complex society which then becomes harder to to manage especially when it comes from the top down corruption becomes more of a problem i think the chinese financial system is. is in a much shakier state than might appears for a very long time the economy has been growing at ten percent a year. it's hard to lose money as a bank when the economy is growing that quickly so i think there might be a lot of stupid loans and many corrupt local officials their brother in law is getting money for something and so should something happen to knock china off that

very rapid path of growth we might very very quickly see that there are many more many more problems then than it now looks like that in that case what were the challenges revolution look like. i left my crystal ball us home. but i think what you would have is is more than a billion people all trying to live their lives in their own way and i think you'd have a lot of confusion and you look at. chinese history and certainly before one thousand nine hundred forty nine you had a very long period of chaos and disorder before an order was formed it might take china a while but that's so speculative so i know that you're an advert democrat you voted for obama house it disappointed you in some ways yes in some ways and. i have to say when i voted for him i didn't think oh this is the one everything is going to

be perfect i thought that he would be able to manage our foreign policy. effectively not perfectly no one and i think he has. i think we're in fairly good shape and he's been able to do some of the things that the bush administration tried to do but without all the trouble and aggravation and some ways which is good domestically i think he made some mistakes at the beginning he he thought that the country had elected him to transform the country i think he was actually look to be more like bill clinton and try to keep everything nice and so he's gotten out because he tried to do too much and do some things people didn't expect or want he's now on the defensive and this is a difficult time for him what do you think shapes the value of

a promise administration a lot of things i think he's very much a product of the kind of ivy league educational system. he sees himself i think is part of a new kind of america almost the millennial generation in some ways looking to build a post racial society i think he does he's he's not as much on the left as some people have thought he is i don't i don't think that's right i think he i would consider more a kind of a. in the in the mold of people like mcgeorge bundy the sort of great harvard technocrats of the one nine hundred sixty s. and seventy's i think is where he is getting is going to get reelected that's very hard to say i know that you've described the united states e.u. and japan as financially irresponsible superpowers so i was wondering how do you

think the world can afford to be led by a responsible super powers well of course there are a lot of financially irresponsible non superpowers too i think financially they're not superpowers right but what i guess what i'm saying is who else can it be led by that was going to my second question that if united states actually loses their leadership who would it be well that's partly why i think it may be less likely that the u.s. will lose and in some ways the dollar as a reserve currency it's the chinese are not going to internationalize theirs for a while the euro is is not really an alternative to the dollar so what is it the swiss franc the south african rand ok but do you still get a sense that the superpowers are losing says of per prince and it in fixation or not. i think that the american economy is in a period of deep restructuring if you look at the last three hundred fifty years of

sort of the rise of global capitalism you'd argue that the british and the americans have we've had many financial crises ever since the south sea bob dole in the dutch tulip bubble even in some ways and when there's a financial crisis an economic crisis some countries seem to be faster to innovate and some countries say we knew capitalism was a terrible system all along we're going to have nothing to do with it so the argentina's ins and some others try to get away from it and then when the time comes for the next wave of grown. with they've isolated themselves i think the british and the americans in are still prepared to try something new my guess is that the whole world has reached a stage where the old system economic system doesn't work we don't know how to make the transition to the new and we're floundering around trying to invent i think the americans are going to get there faster than some others so let me just recap

because there's been a lot of talk in the past two years about the world becoming law type color. and european things are going to stay that way they are the walled order for a while well i guess what i would say is the whole the goal of american foreign policy is not actually a uni polar world i think people. think that the united states actually is more a grettir garbo and that is we would like to be left alone for example the european union from the united states' point of view is the perfect solution the europeans aren't going to war with each other they aren't going to war with us they're pretty prosperous they like a lot of the things we do so the europe if the if the united states had a dream for europe that would be it it's ok now we have much less power in europe than we did in one thousand nine hundred five when we could decide

who ate what's ok but you have much more power in other parts of the world right but again what we want to seize and we would like every place to more or less be like your happy rich at peace so that you can be left alone so right so that the world would be the way we want it to be but we wouldn't have to make it perform that's the american goal and so in that sense. multi-polar world in which most or all of the polls are kind of like the american way without us making. and you see that's the goal and to some degree the emergence of india the emergence of europe the fact that brazil is growing into just that kind of power suggests that that we're getting that what americans would consider a been non multi-polar already rather than say the one nine hundred forty s. when you had the soviet union germany and japan that all heat that system and are

trying to destroy it how would america like to see russia america would like to see russia happy free democratic and secure thank you very much for this interview thank you. it's. the

russia speedy winger idema us troops come on and present our he was a talented wrestler in his youth but eventually decided to switch to rugby in his early teens on the advice of his brother though he didn't have it easy in his formative years. when i started playing rugby the facilities were non-existent we would train at a local school in the basement however it was full of rubbish and we would have to spend hours trying to clean it up and then the coaches arrived and we were allowed to use the beach to train on the log it was only after that that the started to improve them. but he even has a ready made impression here in new zealand showing his first ever world cup try against italy while he's free and finds its express pace this is obviously a dream come true for the twenty five year old and he says the whole of his hometown is following his every move because. everyone watches our games typical not only my family but the whole of my hometown everyone calls us to congratulate

us even though we're not doing well in all of them matches it's a great achievement to be here for the country for the national team and for the coaches yet all of us through shows not a rarity in the russian team in the seventy's we made a major part in these developments. you regularly completed for the national side for stablished them self's a major force in the short game being able to compete and beat the likes of england and france on a regular basis. sevens really helps your development in the fifteen man game as it teaches you to see the pitch differently you need a completely different set of skills and sevens comes in handy jumped up on my dad because it's been a tough year for the team we have to constantly ask to see it's players club rugby leaving behind his wife country year old son can of money cross the dock some four thousand kilometers away. he'll get to see his family in a couple of weeks however he's extremely committed to playing in the national team and desperately wants to help his country improve in both sevens i am fifty nine
