kerry those people obviously they have diverted and they are looking for maybe. to solve the crisis on the other hand i think mr nothing to build more settlements and cause more friction with the palestinians by insisting and building settlements the way he's taken the middle east he probably taken it into. american i think at this point looking to close some file in the middle east and move to south east asia i don't think they wanted any new war especially against iran this time. the swiss ski resort of davos is buzzing right now with business and off to the annual world economic forum has just kicked off. join me my colleague. for the business bulletins live from davos switzerland.

right wing t.v. host glenn beck is going to build his own utopia beck plans to put together a massive social experiment building his own city which will be totally independent from the evil grasp of government and the outside world where residents will have to learn how to survive on their own make their own things and grow their own food the future city called independence usa will be based on libertarian principles with hints of iran flavor there will be no handouts and no help for the self-sufficiency minded residents but back may need some help himself because building the city could cost about two billion dollars the thing is that commentators about politics like glenn beck and horse truly have a very easy job it is easy to point out what is wrong with society but it is another thing entirely to try to change it and i want to salute clint beck for

economic forum's analysis that we casey poor baby is thinking now and all the policy makers i've no doubt died in by now and that's been caviar but is that even a jam packed day it's been rough says the economy that speech as heavily as prime minister to me to my better address the audience for the world's richest and most influential goes and says what exactly did he say that well he discussed three scenarios that face the russian economy the dependency on oil the call for institutional reform the names of boys were originally differentiation and the topic of course is a major was also approached as well and was often of far from the yellow sea and here's what the prime minister had to say about his goals in order to achieve desirable growth we should all russia could have just on the. risk of those we did so in terms of the economy our goals should be ambitious and listen vestments grow dramatically russia will not be able to achieve the desired rate of
3:34 pm
economic growth because we are talking about competition between companies in all sectors of our economy so that's the goal of the government is to create an equal playing field for all businesses and reducing excessive presence of the government in the economy. ok hello that. come and join today. now from listening to that and for being at the forum today i'm a bit of his is main message it seems all the really world positive a stable economy. growth is not the case well 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 a strong 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 delos is one of
3:35 pm
the platforms we're going to try and do doubt which is one of the reasons why medvedev addressed today was the third time of the russian leader came to dallas just in the past five years it would be a negative perception seems to really be persisting so what herman graf the head of ruffled a largest banks bear but here's what he said. the soonest with it is the mr bush you know some sustained you russia's financial center is in one hundred thirty seconds place in the rankings globally 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 fifty. twenty well i can still use burbank as an international corporation with offices in over twenty countries and i have an idea of the development of the financial sector and
3:36 pm
various countries. and i can see these readings do not reflect the realities of. ok senator we've got we've got words we've got appearances we've got networking but as far as i can say where the facts 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 growth and i had an opportunity to speak with me trail from russia's direct investment funds and he actually listed a number of stocks that are not too many people outside of russia really no doubt. we believe that russian image that's what they were just much worse since the reality and many people book knows that russian middle class tripled in the last five years for example many people book those that in the last twelve years russian g.d.p. per capita increase by as
3:37 pm
a factor of ten and very few countries in the world actually get chills at the end of growth russian economy is poised to grows from a two trillion dollar economy to three trillion dollar economy so really that should be the message. ok but. from my point if you if it was so positive it was all rosy for the russian economy why was negative snobberies addressed today because that was what it was all about right well absolutely but actually negative scenarios are extremely important because like they say hope for the best but prepare for the worst and there are always of course the skeptics or those you know that you would call cautiously optimistic including russia's former finance minister aleksey could ran we intruded ahead today and here's what he told us among its citizens. then was to let it go through these scenarios are the result of an opinion poll of three hundred fifty leading business women and experts working with russian t.v.
3:38 pm
did not clearly see the real measures taken by the government to improve the investment climate but the facts why all three scenarios no matter where they're 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 and then you. let's move on and check out the markets and shall we because investors in europe they were really looking to add to the u.s. today the debt ceiling debate so we happened that finishing with a modest guy for the folks the way they did much better not very much does he you believe in the profits of the london stock market for his own or for the whole you trying to lay out the second russ is that what happened there because they did indeed finish impulsive terry if you quite impressive guy you got to see who were the more i say yes that means most of the current is there are some very well it was a mix before my old wednesday with the current think. about it is for
3:39 pm
a fraction of the common current day all right so that's how the markets look i'm up to date over may hit. well with saving we're going to be hit or wait a lawyer with coverage and that will be fine not to use it in cities as well but say without a cause i'm we've got build up of course. that's i was. in davos well i'll be back with more news for in about twenty minutes from now on i mean thomas jordanians headed to the polls in parliamentary elections the country's main opposition boycotted the process promising street protests but also spoke to the country's prime minister to hear his views on the political impact that interview after the break more news tonight. all.

3:42 pm
3:43 pm
slept with. the in model today i'm joined by the prime minister of the hashemite kingdom of jordan dr abdullah and sort of the lebanese sort. into how about the election is valued is a significant milestone in the history of jordan why is that are you also how will a boycott by some political powers so be muslim. heard in particular impact on the election and while it was let me tell you the. first of all i'd like to thank you for the opportunity to speak to your channels respectable audience on a regular viewer of your channel myself and your respectable viewers may think that the election was brought about by the arab spring but this is not true that jordan
3:44 pm
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 fair 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 cracked down on such issues. will open. up that is the political and social impact of a boycott of brotherhood c.s.u. what is delay on my show from the one muslim your viewers might not be quite aware of the position of this movement in jordan the muslim brotherhood is a party that has been 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
3:45 pm
country it is run of the parliament and has been represented in 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 been an integra and martyr of the political system in a part 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 a legitimate right theah but they were wrong when they resorted to a boycott after their request had not been sad. this fight if you opt for a boycott why would anyone change the law for you in the future i would stay just the same it's a catch twenty two they should have participated in the election i mean forced the change they were asking for this would have been a responsible decision having and i believe they could have saved enough seats in parliament to ensure overwhelming majority together with the opposition faction
3:46 pm
currently in the parliament in that case they would have been able to change the law to their liking. and 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 moderate or been among other things you let prices go up as with students here expecting those decisions of yours to anger people and make them protest at the thought. that we have always believed that we should consult our people before taking any major decision that 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 that it was introduced to protect the national economy will bolster the stability of our currency the financial system in
3:47 pm
general which had been in jeopardy eventually the people of jordan realized 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 not time but we found ourselves in serious jeopardy so we had to do this well you 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 they only deal with the day to day routine but when we saw the degree of the danger we 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 this step as i already mentioned we consulted our people and it proved to be the right thing to do to damien's our well educated nation the education level in our country is the highest among other arab countries that jordan boast the biggest number of universities and according to world ratings we
3:48 pm
provide the best quality secondary and higher education given to such maturity of the jordanian people we knew we consult them to find the best possible solution so i think we handled our job successfully and the decisions were taken out of the benefit of all of our people will be allowed to. help the hacker and can the ongoing anti-corruption drive help to get the message properly advisor back to compensate for what's been stolen from the jordanian people as a lemon and fill out the. jordanians know that in the past few 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 even the viewers surely know may gossip is not enough for a judge there has to be evidence jordanians know we have corrupt officials but they
3:49 pm
don't have any hard evidence and the court won't rule based on groundless claims several high profile cases have been reviewed recently or 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 and 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 less they have clear goals and the determination to achieve them a powerful state that isn't split or indecisive president clearly continued. well i know tad that my concern is shared by jordan the middle east and the rest of the world talking about the syrian crisis and a large gene flow refugees to jordan and a country with enough economic problems of its own as the country that finds it difficult to ensure social justice it'll be in what way has the issue affected
3:50 pm
jordan and what's your position in regard to syria. as a haying. regarding the refugees our country is located on the territory of the 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 let me share their pain i'm a grief they 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 all wars are countries knowing for its hospitality the jordanian government and its people will do anything it takes for their brothers
3:51 pm
and 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 is experiencing it greatest economic challenge ever lived on the less we gave them all we could but we provided humanitarian aid social services and medical cab and we arranged a prayer. 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 or our resources are limited even turkey which is ten times the size of jordan has restricted the flow of refugees after the first several thousand people well we have provided shelter the three hundred
3:52 pm
thousand have hosted three hundred thousand syrian brothers considering our country's population is only seven million people who are sure if the number of refugees keeps growing will struggle to help them this is the reality of all you 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 heart for another little bit sober enough for over ten min or an hour or let him come 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 have it in the . north of us who are we believe that a political solution must be found to resolve the crisis in syria if there's a stalemate and 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 the lives of hundreds of people who die or get it every day it should be a wake up call to every nation around the world for the time being every party to
3:53 pm
the conflict has stuck to their guns despite the ongoing massacre and i think that anyone who can 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. who are in the job 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 world politics or adopt 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 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. for the.
3:54 pm
arabic as been to several refugee camps and the refugees there complained about the way they were treated political mileage to comment on that. 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 like 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 up to sixty three thousand people stuck in a refugee camp so i wonder some of them get involved you know alcohol abuse of course it happens it's inevitable after your question i can say that of course there are everyday problems so if you have this respect the refugee camp is no different from any other populated area but there are life serious or dangerous thing was going on that they thought would. lotus mahoney.
3:55 pm
what do you suggest to help resolve the syrian crisis or must be you will priority concern because in jordan like syria a long study he's torkel all sham reaction. who are 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 of the organization you. call. the opposition sets a condition that bashar asad must step down on the saudi that it is serious domestic affairs and we have nothing to do with it we can decide whether the president should step down or not he's purely serious business have a second thought thought he . you know how sometimes you see a story and it seems so you think you understand it and then you glimpse something
