you're watching r t if you've just joined us wellcome here's a recap of the headlines julian assange is granted asylum by aqua door the country's foreign minister has said the whistleblowers fears of political prosecution are legitimate while slamming bridges threat to storm apatow the embassy in london tourists that we can fix at it. and we're the ecuadorian embassy crowd sharing the decision despite london police area detaining several supporters of julian assange. and in bahrain another so-called enemy of the states and one of us on just recent interview with bill ridge ob has been
12:31 pm
jailed for three years for taking part in antigovernment together with. next interviews american economist talked of a shawl so if you says the u.s. president barack obama doesn't pay enough about the country's deficit and debt problems coming up. and then. with me todd buchholz a former director of economic policy at the white house he was one of the first u.s. economists to forecast the two thousand and one slowdown in the u.s. the two thousand and eight pop in commodity prices and the dell rate of the u.s. debt rating thank you very much for joining me today you're welcome let's start with your latest book rush why you need our love the place you argue they are that competition is the one thing to keep us going and from you we build the problem that exists right now and this is. the reason the lack of desire to fight for
12:32 pm
a thing to fight for a good job a good education is that's really sell we've had twenty years of focusing on self-esteem trying to make kids feel better about themselves and it didn't matter how they did on tests the test scores didn't matter what they knew or what they achieved the whole point was it didn't matter what the important thing was to feel good about yourself so in washington d.c. for instance they asked the students how they would assess themselves in mathematics. and the washington d.c. students felt that they had wonderful skills in mathematics they had the best sense of themselves they had great pride in their knowledge of mathematics but when you looked at their test scores it turned out they knew very little of anything so we've spent twenty thirty years educating people that trying hard is not very
12:33 pm
important and what's most important is just to feel good about yourself but that is just a complete confusion because the best way to get self-esteem is to do something worthy of a seed and i'm afraid that the younger people are now. i want to do some baggage in a pretty harsh economic climate where even before the great recession which began in two thousand and eight we were seeing over the course of the last twenty years decline in the willingness of young people to simply move to another state in order to take a job we've seen a decrease in mobility so yes the great recession has made things worse has made people even more nervous and worried about their futures but these trends were in place beforehand he think americans really are becoming those people who need a three hour lines you dump them as generation y. for him to think that bruce springsteen in the one nine hundred seventy s.
12:34 pm
had a famous rock album in a song called born to run and he wrote about a generation that couldn't wait to get their driver's licenses couldn't wait to get on the road and explore the country and study of the recently we see that young americans are less interested in getting their driver's licenses in the one nine hundred seventy s. and eighty's nearly every high school student once they turned sixteen or seventeen would have a driver's license now many are waiting till eight hundred eight hundred twenty and is that because of economic decline no but i think it is a symptom of a lack of motivation so instead of being born to run they seem born to sit on the sofa in front of x. boxes or play stations or their i phones of course there is a portion of the population of the young population that is very motivated highly motivated that is very ambitious and very aggressive and certainly carving out
12:35 pm
great careers for themselves certainly not going to suggest that an entire generation is sitting on the sofa however we have especially in this harsh economic climate certain states in the united states which are prospering. where the job market is very healthy and other states where it's very poor. well you can rent a car you could hop on a bus it would only cost about two hundred dollars to get yourself on a bus from nevada a state with a terrible economic climate to north dakota where you would have a job almost as soon as the bus arrives and yet we're not seeing people making those sorts of moves they seem to be waiting in place for the jobs to come to them and i'm afraid that is not a very promising way to look at the job market these days so the go go days of the nine hundred ninety s. turning into the go backward state of the two thousand so where next the u.s.
12:36 pm
economy is a bow what a pilot would call stall speed we certainly are growing fast enough i believe that we're not going to go back down into a double dip recession but the job market is painful the job market is very weak i think president obama has not done much to help the job market i don't think his stimulus plan was very effective the only thing a stimulus plan did was scare people into believing that we now have debts that will be unpayable and that the u.s. debt to g.d.p. ratio you soon will simply be unmanageable. so we've got an economy that's slowly repairing itself but we seem to be avoiding tough decisions when it comes to how we're going to pay our debts in the years ahead can we expect another stimulus plan i don't think there's going to be another stimulus plan out of the u.s. congress certainly republicans will not be in favor of it because they see that
12:37 pm
it's been a waste and president obama i think recognizes that the prior stimulus plans are no longer popular in fact i'm not even sure he will use the word stimulus anymore because now it has a tone of being negative because very few americans believed it has created any jobs except maybe for some government bureaucrats president obama. a year and a half two years ago pointed a commission to examine the u.s. fiscal deficit debt problem he appointed a well known former republican senator and a very distinguished. adviser to president clinton obviously the previous democratic president those two individuals with their staffs with congressional colleagues spent months studying the deficit and the debt it was the simpson bowles commission and the president appointed them and they came back with
12:38 pm
a plan that was very tough that was very bold that would cut some tax rates to make the u.s. corporations more competitive but at the same time they would cut spending you know really across the board including in retirement schemes and the president was presented with this plan and even though he chose the members of the commission he walked away from the plan because president obama doesn't care enough about the deficit and debt and so i think until the president leaves office whether that's in november or in january or four years from january i think it's going to be very difficult to for the u.s. to tackle these difficult economic and fiscal issues right now like looks like almost nothing that we have a seem to be safe can be taken to be think i'm talking here about either very currency that we need the biggest banks in the world what is safe now there's always going to be some fear in the market except when there's
12:39 pm
a bubble well there's not a bubble now so there is some fear in the market and there's a big question mark over all paper currencies there's a question mark about the value of the dollar and the euro and the yen in the ruble and every other currency that is not backed by some hard assets so we have a positive sign next to g.d.p. that is a big right bold positive sign you know it's kind of fate sometimes it hides a little bit but i think. there's been a demonstration that u.s. corporations aren't managed so badly after all and they can withstand a pretty weakened cauvery and so that will i think be giving investors a little bit more confidence in the stock market and of course that confidence all has already been expressed in a pretty healthy rally over the course of the last year more than tell you i think alan your book market shock even worrying that the result was unstable and having to why it's played called turmoil you also sad that the members of the eurozone
12:40 pm
would stumble because of the differences and monetary policy so what is your forecast now i think the euro zone is like a really bad polygamous marriage with. old wives and one husband and just disagreement jealousy and fighting constantly but the eurozone is a mess because that they were never meant to be together ireland was a more deflationary place as was italy germany had low inflation they needed different monetary policies and now we've got this disaster. and it can't simply be solved by the e.c.b. writing some checks. at greece is simply insolvent and uncompetitive if greece still have the draw it would have been devalued there'd be tourist dollars from germany flooding into greece bringing foreign currency
12:41 pm
bringing their heroes to to greece the hotels would be filled instead what do you have you got it an economy that has should have a big tourism base but tourists won't go because they're afraid of riots in the streets the prices haven't fallen because they're denominated in europe and so you have empty hotels throughout the week you know some athens i'm sad to read so it's very difficult to see how greece survives as a member of the eurozone and it may very well be on some busy weekend i don't know when no one's paying attention during go world cup match or something that greece will exit the eurozone hoping that nobody notices but it's going to be awfully hard to keep them in.

12:46 pm
hello welcome to the sports thank you for joining me and here the culture is a solid start fabio capello begins his reign as russia coach with a one one draw against my very coast here in moscow. while missing out on french open champion rapala dahl pulls out of the u.s. open due to a nagging knee injury. no it's ok to victory the amazing story of the convicted russian drug smuggler who chose football over freedom. and let's start with football off the russia three one won in a friendly with the ivory coast at the locomotive stadium here in moscow fabio capello was denied victory in his first game in charge after a late goal from the african cup of nations runners up. a report. even though fabio capello's appointment meant ushering in a new era of football for russia it was evident by the half empty stadium that many
12:47 pm
fans were still very much skeptical of their team after the disappointing exit from the twenty twelve euros for the ivory coast could have been forgiven for not having too many fans on hand to support their team but those that did make it was celebrating even before the whistle blew for kick off the pebble opted not to risk team captain andrea sharon but this was probably more to do with the potential wrath of the fans rather than any injury worries the game itself began like most friendly's k.g. and safe both sides probe each other but neither side could carve out any real chances ivory coast star studded lineup which included didier drogba and both two are brothers seem content just to break up russia's play. and the first half and it as he had begun. in the second half the russian fans started to make their voices heard and ten minutes in euro twenty twelve star islands a go with stepped up to slot in a free kick to make it one nil to the home side controversially capello decided to substitute him for minutes after for no other the national haven't much to be amusement of the crowd they made them happen is known by booing him whenever he
12:48 pm
touched the ball and that seemed to have taken its toll on the whole team as the ivory coast began to sense they could make a goal which they do they did ten minutes from time. capello was content with the performance and the result but was surprised by the crowd's reaction to us having their way in the city i was surprised the fans whistled him and continued to be negative towards him olson noticed that when the worst thing began the team began to lose its concentration this is not good and it's quite baffling to me that going to andre him self was disappointed by the fans' reaction but vowed to prove doubters wrong you know much that today we played against a strong team but we had our chances with regards to the negative reaction from the stands course i'm disappointed but i try to not let it affect my game hopefully opinions will change with a few goals and went. ivory coast midfielder did is a chorus of his team was happy to have come away with a draw praising the level of russia's football you also have to do that because i
12:49 pm
believe if you get one or two from russia and. even to put them to really do it so capello's rain has begun with a one one draw with the ivory coast however more surprising was the fact that he left out andrea shouting from the starting line up and up instead to give the captaincy to ego denice zero zero seven did come on in the second half but was booed by the russian fans every time he touched the ball now this and many other things will give capello plenty of food for thought but he only has three weeks to get his team together before they start their world cup qualification campaign when they play northern ireland on the seventh of september you see marketing goes. well in the meantime though more international friendlies on wednesday including world and european champions spain claiming a narrow two one win administer pressure reiko that i'm signed to right outside the world's top one hundred but they managed to keep their illustrious opponents in check for more than forty minutes however two quick goals before the break so we thank you del bosque a challenge is to take control is also new voice on to get all or last
