1:33 pm
institutional reform in the names of boys were originally differentiation i am atomic of course is a made with also a price as well and also it doesn't fall from the way yeah let's say and here's what the prime minister had to say about his goals and all that so it seemed desirable growth we should all russia could have just on the ok. those would see that it's in terms of the economy our goals should be ambitious and then you put on less investment grow dramatically russia will not be able to achieve the desired rate of economic growth we are talking about competition between companies in all sectors of our economy the goal of the government is to create an equal playing field for all businesses six hundred using excessive presence of the government in the economy. ok hello that guy sees that come and join. now from this into law and for being for today i'm a bit of his is my imagines it seems are all the really positive
1:34 pm
a stable economy and growth is that the kind of russia definitely has plenty of well discussed challenges facing its economy of course including its continued dependence on the oil and gas revenues certainly for the purposes of balancing its budget and of course the song need for improved governance but it also has a lot going for it so what it really is to do is overcome the skepticism that prevents a lot of western businesses from really betting on of russia and dell those is one of the platforms we're going to try and do that which is one of the reasons why. address today was the third time of russian leader came to dallas just in the past five years with a negative perception seems to really be persistence of what herman graf the head of russia as a largest banks bear but here's what he said. listen to this little
1:35 pm
mr bush you know since then you russia's financial center is in one hundred thirty seconds place in the rankings global i've looked at these readings in detail on the albania is number one twenty four in a rankings armenia is fifty first but is. twenty three well i can tell you is burbank is an international corporation with offices in over twenty countries and i have an idea of the development of the financial sector experience conference. and i can see these readings do not reflect reality. ok so natasha we've got we've got was we've got appearances we've got networking but as far as i can say where the facts while they're actually. plenty of facts including for instance the fact that over the past several years it's not just the energy export revenues but also internal consumption that's been driving russia's
1:36 pm
growth and i had an opportunity to speak with curial dmitri i'm from russia's direct investment fund and she actually listed a number of products that's not too many people outside of russia really know about . we believe that russian image that's what they were just much worse since the reality and many people don't know that russian middle class tripled in the last five years for example many people don't know that in the last twelve years russian g.d.p. per capita increased by the factor of ten and very few countries in the world actually get chills that kind of growth russian economy is poised to grows from a two trillion dollars economy to three trillion dollars economy so really such a busy message. ok but. for my point if it was so. rosy for the russian economy why was negative so not very fit dress today because that was what it was all about right well absolutely but actually
1:37 pm
negative scenarios are really important because like they say hope for the best but prepare for the worse and there are always of course the skeptics or those you know that you would call cautiously optimistic including russia's former finance minister alex we interviewed him today and here's what he told us he's among its citizens. with these scenarios are the results of an opinion poll of three hundred fifty leading business when they're experts working with russia. t.v. did not clearly see the real measures taken by the government to improve the investment climate but the quick that's why all three scenarios no matter where they are based on a high or low oil price turned out to be negative i think they are realistic for example last year we had a deficit budget despite the price of almost one hundred ten dollars per barrel in the new. well let's move on and check out the markets then shall we because
1:38 pm
investors in europe they were really looking to add to the u.s. today the debt ceiling debate so we had the tax finishing with a modest guy on the phone the way they did much better not very much does he you believe in the profits the london stock market that is on offer for the whole year why she laid out the stakeout russ is that what happened that because they did indeed finish in positive territory quite impressive guy you got to see it with them i say. that movement of the current is there are some very well it was a make school call me an old one play with the current think gay to get a lot of mileage in for a fraction i guess the common current day all right it's not how the markets look i'm up to date from a hit in davos switzerland well the saving we're going to hit or wait a lot of with coverage and all the financial news it's going to in cities as well but say without a cause i'm we've got buildup of course france wants very much and. people being live in davos so she says throughout the week now i'll be back with more news for
1:39 pm
about twenty minutes from now in the meantime as jordanians heading to the polls in parliamentary elections because the country's main opposition forces boycotted the process promising massive street protests well he's been speaking to jordan's prime minister about his views on the political impact of all of this that's coming up after this short break stay with us. both.
1:41 pm
out of sight but still on our minds still it suits the norm let's try to live smarter with smartphones you never know what some people are hiding things can be sure to prove down to the molecular level learned that what the doctor ordered is all things based on secrets under our skin let it shine the light on a kid in a world. we've got the future covered. i. was about how the in model today i'm joined by the prime minister of the hashemite kingdom of jordan dr abdullah on sort of the lens. is a significant milestone in the history of jordan why is that also how will
1:42 pm
a boycott by some political powers the muslim brotherhood in particular impact on the election and the one in which let me tell you the. i'd like to thank you for the opportunity to speak to your channel's respectable audience on a regular viewer of your channel myself and respectable viewers may think that the election was brought about by the arab spring but this is not true that jordan has held elections since one nine hundred twenty nine which means we have got ninety years experience here the only difference is that this time the electoral process will be absolutely fast the government will by no means interfere with the procedure we have in force a zero tolerance policy or meddling by any state official let alone a possible ballot reg however we are getting complaints about a practice called political money in jordan that basically this is bribery and vote buying and we have such issues. or make up at what is
1:43 pm
the political and social impact of. brotherhood it. must be no one and it might not be quite aware of the position of this movement in jordan the muslim brotherhood is a party that has been a part of the national political process for a long time since the one nine hundred forty s. but it has been. actively involved in the political and social affairs of the country it is run for parliament and has been represented in the legislature since the one nine hundred fifty s. fear some party members have served as cabinet ministers as you can see the muslim brotherhood has begun in take part of the political system apart which enjoyed a lot of respect and they are not hostile towards the country or its current leadership but this time they initiated a boycott demanding a change in the election laws and the constitution to better suit them i don't blame them for it demanding amendments to the constitution is
1:44 pm
a legitimate right here but they were wrong when they resorted to a boycott after their request had not been satisfied if you opt for a boycott why would anyone change the law for you in the future it would stay just the saying it's a catch twenty two they should have participated in the election and enforced the change they are asking for this would have been a responsible decision heading in i believe they could have received enough seats in parliament to ensure overwhelming majority together with the opposition faction currently in a parliament in that case they would have been able to change the law to their liking. i think that you have taken a few drastic steps which have been called reckless by some of your opponents while others say they would destabilize the situation in the country and have a devastating socially might have been among other things you let prices go up as to with students here expected those decisions of yours to anger people and make them protest until the time. that we have always believed that we should consult
1:45 pm
our people before taking any major decision out of them we should be honest about an issue and ask the people what they think about it and we believe this is the right approach we turn to our people before prices went up we spent thirty days looking into public opinion until we were certain that what we were doing was the right step on the best interest of the country this step that was introduced to protect the national economy would bolster the stability of our currency the financial system in general which had been in jeopardy eventually the people of jordan realised this decision was long overdue when you're not a hasty one but a late minute given the broad civil unrest as the result of the arab spring now where the government would have probably dead to take such a step out not time but we found ourselves in serious jeopardy so we had to do this like maybe remember that i'm the head of an interim government which will step down after the election usually interim government's never take pivotal decisions then he deal with the day to day routine but when we saw the degree of the danger we
1:46 pm
realized we didn't even have a few more weeks we can just wait and pass the buck to the future government so we went ahead and took that step as i already mentioned we consulted our people and it proved to be the right thing for the jordanians are well educated nation the education level in our country is the highest among other arab countries jordan placed the biggest number of universities and according to world ratings we provide the best quality secondary and higher education given to such maturity of the jordanian people we knew we consult the. to find the best possible solution so i think we handled our job successfully and the decisions we have taken out of the benefit of all of our people or be allowed to. help to have the ongoing anti-corruption drive helped to get the message properly advise it back to compensate for what's down stolen from the jordanian people as a lemon and fill out the travel ordinary. jordanians know that in the past few
1:47 pm
months there's been significant progress on cases that have been hushed up for a long time there have been a number of important decisions made on them and our people are aware of it it happened thanks to strong political will we have no fear no qualms any case will be investigated where matter what the level of the person involved but as you in the viewers surely know me gossip is not enough for a judge there has to be evidence jordanians know we have corrupt officials but they don't have any hard evidence and the court won't rule based on groundless claims several high profile cases have been reviewed recently what i'd like to stress that it wasn't something we trumped up on purpose we don't seek to ruin someone's reputation or career it's not a publish he stands either corruption is a form of oppression when you bend the law to influence the judiciary we don't need to mess things up here we want to be a state governed by the rule of law lest they have a clear goals and the determination to achieve them a powerful state or that isn't split or indecisive person to claim to complete it.
1:48 pm
well know to had. a concern that is shared by jordan the middle east and the rest of the world talking about the syrian crisis and a large gene flow of refugees through toward knows the country with enough economic problems of its own as the country that finds it difficult to ensure social justice it's a bit of in what way has the issue affected toward others and what's your position in regard to syria. as a haying. regarding the refugees our country is located on the territory of the ancient al shannon region we are united nation but this land was divided during the era of colonialism where the same blood of syrians their blood bombs falling on their heads their suffering are just like our own blood from our hearts we are some indifferent neighbors who are just watching what's happening next door to the holy
1:49 pm
share their pain and i'm a grief a that's why the hashem of the kingdom of jordan has been welcoming refugees from different countries for ninety years we warmly received palestinian refugees and shared our country's wealth and bread with the you back during the war in lebanon jordan kept its doors open and war in iraq was not an exception we have been receiving refugees of course our country is knowing for its hospitality the jordanian government and its people will do anything it takes for their brothers the syrian refugees so our position is that we should make their stay here was comfortable as possible in spite of the enormous expenses exceeding five hundred fifty million dollars he had by the way the donor countries have been sending their delegations and talking a lot to the media given us just some one hundred fifty million dollars this year in refugees arrived in jordan this is a country of limited resources at a time when it's experiencing its greatest economic challenge ever voted on the less we gave them all we could but we have provided humanitarian aid social
1:50 pm
services and medical care and we arranged a press. wholes we did everything you could think of everything that is within our capabilities and reason with this in mind we certainly don't want to encourage other people to leave syria for jordan our resources are limited even turkey which is ten times the size of jordan has restricted the flow of refugees after the first seventy thousand people well we have provided shelter for three hundred thousand have hosted three hundred thousand syrian brothers considering our country's population is only seven million people who are the sheriff the number of refugees keeps growing will struggle to help them this is the reality of the body so our main concern is to ensure that our syrian brothers stay in their homeland and work hard to resolve their crisis rather than swap one hardship for another. over ten min or an hour at our own and that hell is currently a political solution has become unlikely as a military solution is impossible what could be the way out and they had to. know
1:51 pm
what the best accord we believe that a political solution must be found to resolve the crisis in syria if this is stalemate only a consensus agreement is possible and the other world powers have to find a consensus but they should remain realistic. they must think of the value of human life support the lives of hundreds of people who die every day it should be a wake up call to every nation around the world for the time being every party to the conflict has stuck to their guns despite the ongoing massacre and i think that anyone who could help to put an end to this tragedy but has failed to do so is an accomplice to the crime everybody who refuses to stand up against war becomes the devil's associates a state or an individual and that's why we have criticized the international community for failing to address the syrian issue with seriousness of course any solution will require concessions to the country should be guided only by their financial interests trade relations their role in politics or adopt
1:52 pm
a foreign policy without regard of syrian casualties there must be a place for morality in international politics who said the morality has no place in the politics i don't believe that all those victims your heart broken women and body fragments we see every day won't be able to change anything in world politics world powers to take necessary measures you had to. go. through. arabic as been through several refugee camps in the refugee spirit complained about the way they were treated political mileage a comment that the so-called how to have it a lot of but here. i am the head of the high commission for refugees and as such i'm personally responsible for the way the system operates i can tell you that it in any city be a russian or jordanian people who are unhappy if you complain and cause trouble mugging attempts an attempted murder can happen anywhere right here maybe up to sixty three thousand people stuck in
1:53 pm
a refugee camp so i wonder some of them get involved you know alcohol abuse of course it happens it's inevitable that's your question i can say that of course there are everyday problems so if you have one this respect the refugee camp is no different from any other populated area but there are life serious or dangerous thing is going on that basis i would. lotus mahoney. what do you suggest to help resolve the syrian crisis or must be a will priority concern because in jordan like syria a long study he's torkel all sham reaction and. who are we have supported the solution proposed by the arab league as a member state we are back with a solution we are connected to the arab position members of the organization you. way that what if any opposition sets a condition that bashar assad must step down. the law that it is serious domestic affair and we have nothing to do with it we can decide whether the president should
