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 actually doing something and putting his money where his ideological mouth is now why would i want to live in the i know rand paradise of independence usa under the rule of lord back no no i wouldn't taking marching orders from a tiny portly man known for crying on camera doesn't suit me but if you're a hardcore libertarian here is your chance to make all of your dreams come true but that's just my opinion.

you. her later work him into the business program here and as he learned from davos switzerland at the end of another busy day at the annual economic forum in europe was the focus the most anticipated speech of the day came from british prime minister david cameron a camera speech was blunt tax evasion because it came just a day after he promised the british an e.u. membership referendum that so many people wanted to talk about germany's chancellor angela merkel she also took the mike and she spoke about structural reforms and she

also mentioned the worrying spanish unemployment crisis where these unemployment is now a staggering sixty percent when i'm not she said that europe needs to implement painful reforms now to enjoy the future the benefits of the future that was the long and short of it now another was presented in the latest w. as for poor the west or poor as the cool people around these parts of stalin's call that was the biggest risk the global economy is the widening gap between the rich and the point to earlier today that has or shouldn't scare she's also here in davos with me she filed this report. the world economic forum's recent survey showed that one of the biggest risk for the global economy for the next decade is the widening gap between the rich and the poor why because the tensions between the classes really threaten the political as well as the economic stability of these countries but for the people gathered here

in davos for the so-called financial elite this is very much a hypothetical problem because very few of them have any firsthand experience with poverty and says the so-called brics so one of the hot topics on the agenda at the form we asked people from developing nations on the sidelines of the form if they thought income inequality is a problem in their homelands. we do have massive inequality in the country where every small percentage of people are eating very good money and then what you have at the bottom of the pyramid of very poor people where you seeing them encrypts around six dollars a day which is very little the rich have to pay for that wealth gap and they must pay higher taxes and the indian government is it will so trying to address that in fact one of the budget recommendations is some kind of inheritance tax or the tax on well we have to the questions are being the more they keep coming into the ocean the barry has said we're going. to very robust rate better than six percent

actually six point seven five percent less to twenty twelve and we have a widening gap between the rich and the poor we have one of the most richest man in the world publishes and we have more than we talk a lot of for people but he's very very poor we have a over t. like you know like any and all the third world countries which there will always be sources creating an even bigger gap between rich and poor. when whatever we're trying to do is to offset the things which trusting that you might get a little more stick with this wonderful goal which by now it's pretty clear that if i'm just. like the developing nations in the us today forty. five percent. official at a point that we just had a record is that you. anywhere else in the world but here in dallas you're pretty

likely to see who was big for change outside these worries. and it seems pretty unlikely that the world's greatest financial minds got it down the. list shakin all the markets that manufacturing data from china germany and the us all surprised to the upside about europe was up on top of that we had weekly jobless claims are all from the us so far more than expected so europe had against the current says as the rebuild of russian currency it tasted a mixed with goldman's against the other global currency is the fastenings the market said pretty lackluster day who's around the performance was pretty flat but bucking the trend though was that russia's biggest private oil company loophole which he finishes does above the law named altitude of the company all to be rejected film participating and russia's shelf development legal is having its

attentions to the mediterranean shelf to the head of the company the gate alike but also says that the some positive elop approach it in lebannon as part of a console said the loophole may become the first russian company drilling eleven and if it wins the country's tens of on the shelf development this will all be decided on the first of february. thank you and i'm glad the discoveries that were made in israel in cyprus we consider the east mediterranean a new perspective will and gas regions lukoil is a big oil firm of the experience of shelter development we are now drilling in west africa in three kilometer deep water we developed a posits in the baltic and as often caspian sea so we think we must participate in the development of the new regions because you can move. now to look at the oil if the price is to full that was that see one of the negative scenarios that was addressed here in davos set with russia's development it was presented here but if

it says excel bug involved in the industry says as a reason to worry. i don't believe that but i got a wired up at the moment culture for a show that also will be a drop less than a dollar but if it's too big not so good for us but that's not so dangerous call leave pull be choose a six i don't believe i don't see interview say that or buys robotics. and you know will it stay with we will win doubles we might as well know one of us is most flamboyant billionaire as maybe getting out of the commodities market mackell put off of maybe selling his entire stake in public must go now the locket value of his thirty seven percent stake is worth roughly three point six billion dollars in two thousand and eight he sold his stake in russia's biggest miner

nikolai he still holds a twenty percent stake in elam in new producer roussel as part of that deal. finally going to sit with a whole oligarch thing tonight stick with me guys we're going to go for the filthy rich to the poor and i he was once russia's wealthiest and most powerful all of us yes i'm talking about boris berezovsky now he could be flat broke actually and i see his girlfriends got anything to do with that. so who'd have thought that russian oligarch boris berezovsky would be feeling the pinch well according to a british high court judge he's a man under financial pressure after the judge lifted the lid on his latest court battle it's claimed that his ex-girlfriend. would like to claim back eight million dollars from voters of ski after he promised to give her cash from the sale of his wentworth estate in surrey she also claims that he's trying to sell two properties in france which he had promised to give to her and all this is more bad news for bert is off his bank balance which is taking

a real hammering recently he lost of course that high profile case against the chelsea owner roman abramovich and also had to hand out one hundred fifty million dollars in a divorce settlement to his ex-wife so all this is more bad news for him and it's little wonder that he wanted to keep this latest court case quiet he had tried to insist the proceedings would be held in private but after journalists complained about that mr justice man decided to lift the ban which means we will probably hear a lot more about mr burgess of ski's extravagant lifestyle in the coming weeks and also a lot more about his financial fortune or should i say miss fortune andrew farmer. london. so we know what i've seen how been as a live this week i've had a bit of an inside looks tell me how much simpler they are be quite frank with you but that's actually the me live here in davos switzerland so i get to be here all throughout the day with live coverage of all the financial proceedings here at the

world economic forum twenty thirty that's evil thanks very much indeed keeping they're living it up in davos they believe a word she says not a few moments where we bring you our interview with venezuela's vice president who talks about the health of president chavez and the future goals of his country and then i'll be back with more news in about fifteen minutes from now. secret laboratory to mccurdy was able to build a new most sophisticated robot which fortunately dorna found anything mission to teach music creation why it should care about humans and. this is why you should care only.

is how does the president chavez deal way do you have any update on his present condition be coming back to venezuela soon whether it was a chill. at the scene we've already said that president chavez is recuperating i raise is almost over has been a long and difficult process but the president was aware of the old saw as vigor and energy is simply amazing the surgery was very difficult president chavez suffered in tunnel leading up which was a very low we all saw it i should say that commandant's a rebel castro and his team were with chavez and his relatives the whole time with very grateful for the concern on the part of the common done say the cuban president and the doxes now president chavez feels better than any other time during his recuperation i'm flying to havana to visit the president suit he will give me necessary instructions and messages to be announced at the summit of the

community of latin american and caribbean states so i could say that president chavez is on the satellite. there any hope that he may return to venezuela any time soon to put someone up to meet that it's a bit of flavor may not to mistake but there are too many factors at play here we need to talk to the doctors and president chavez himself. choose the best moment as we've repeatedly told mr chavez and the venezuelan people know it well the most important thing now is his recovery everybody knows how president chavez has invested all his efforts and energy into his country into fighting for the independence of latin america and how he has persevered in his and imperious struggle for social justice worldwide it was president chavez who went vocal about global warming so that everyone could find out the truth it was he who championed the struggle against global plunder and the neo liberal policies that it killing your it out then it was president chavez who adamantly raised the banner of

protecting the palestinian people when they were attacked that when so many in the hour will chose to keep silent out of fear president chavez raised that banner and the our people cheered him good so president chavez is that helm of the great kind of pains for the sake of humanity and today his role in the world is recognized by millions it is why their sanity interview is so important for all of us in the us russia and the world and then with no with speak at all it's a millions on the planet those who believe in president chavez admire him follow him and love him deeply. we tell them that the president is fighting the illness his people awaiting him for him to come back soon and one day that will definitely happen. they are one of the about i think. that in every way speaking of struggle there is another question i want to ask over the last few days there has been talk of restoring the relations between venezuela and the united states and there has already been a kind of

a negotiation on the subject between the two governments. how are you planning to restore relations if there be a little program of yeah. let's look at what the u.s. is in fact an empire that was established as a union of thirteen independent colonies located all north america's east coast throughout the nineteenth century this nation expanded its territory has set its military might and imposed its policies and its trade on neighboring countries and in the twentieth century it emerged as a global superpower ever since the bolivian era the us has looks down on latin america and the caribbean as its backyard but president chavez and the bolivarian revolution any movement expect that sooner rather than lasik the elite that runs that mighty empire will find itself forced to recognize all regions independence and respect our leaders this is absolutely inevitable but it's not that they will do us a favor and grant us independence it right way or form a colony of the s.

but as a result of a deficit today the nations of latin america and the caribbean a winning independence once will do just as they did back in the nineteenth century and venezuela we run our own country thanks to hugo chavez and the victorious people's revolution and in choosing with the other nations got continental yeah a government has conveyed a message to president obama on behalf of president chavez during a recent ministerial meeting saying that we wouldn't mind approving all relations with the us and restoring mutual respect between our nations as far as possible but whenever we would attempt to not approach me with the obama administration i would always face sabotage from the conservatives who built the core of the us military industrial economy. the complex which impressively controls the entire nation is same way as it depresses the rest of the world. that say we wouldn't mind restoring a fully functional relationship with the us based on mutual respect if it eventually works out we would be happy with that but we will not be dominated by

the us is the only country in the world that has that much trouble dealing with other nations because they haven't come to grips with a new global reality yet but they will have to assume that we've been telling them that for years and it's time they should realize that the world has changed and they can no longer dominate through asteroids an entertainment division and a separate. matter vice president was not long ago president chavez wanted it and. held this position for six years and what not a priority is foreign policy now with the fear. that but it's here that president chavez has drafted a program that we're calling. plan for twenty thirty twenty ninety hitless five main strategic goal long term goals which are building a true democracy in venezuela and shaving independence and establishing and yes socialism the full strategic goal has an international dimension and reflects the

vision of simon bolivar he talks about violence in the world about the need for latin american countries which gain independence from spanish control two hundred years ago to present a strong united front he wanted all states to create a union that would make aggressive empires with big military clout the dominated in the international arena back then to respect our region and our right to development that president chavez revived this don't train and turned it into a foreign policy it's very easy to explain the full strategic goal is to facilitate the creation of a new world in which there will be no domineering empire in terms of our region it means that we need to strengthen the. very new lines for the peoples of our america these institutions how to forge new economic and social models of cooperation and development in our region we also aimed to strengthen the union of south american nations and promote a community of latin american and caribbean states that has been set out but you

know it was goal of those dream and we brought it to lie in caracas and just cemetery at eleven one of the internationally we need to bolster our strategic alliances with the kind of place that play a key role both locally and globally in this new multi-part all world that submerging so the strategic alliance between our region and russia china and india is growing stronger thanks to our active interaction and through economic and political projects with breaks and then complains that there are a lot of opportunities to create a new world order which will be a result of a continuous and an arduous struggle against imperialist and concepts in world politics out. of that number of us are now could you tell us a little bit about your domestic policy and your ministration has just gone down to work in a stew thousand and thirteen two thousand nine hundred turbo what issues are still outstanding we don't want to see it going to come. up in the social sector we need to continue our fight against poverty that it's

a cuss and painful legacy five hundred years and a foreign oppression we should not forget about it destruction there was had brought to our land it i'm talking about venezuela specifically this was a difficult burden that our country had to carry throughout the whole and i think the century that our region suffered from north america has. been israeli became an oil rig to them and oil culminating up at that they destroyed the natural economic foundation the joy and the seventeenth and eighteenth and nineteenth century especially as he was food production yet rich agricultural tradition it's where we've also influenced by the military dictatorship established in our country by us transnational elaboration of sort that is so cool. the music company and they basically implemented it paid model by stablish ing the military dictatorship would have been sent a guy maze this is such a course for the whole twentieth century the second half of the twentieth century was plagued by terrible corruption the resources were misappropriated and poverty

was at eighty percent the goal of a revolution is to bring this number down to north dakota this is one of the goals set by commandante chavez a president of the next six years and we'll get it done we've already voted down the poverty level that i'm twenty seven percent to seventy percent at large number of people is still below the poverty line we were working on sold last problem for example we're implementing a new education plan that education is also free to go it is one of the major achievements over the bolivarian government little girls are implementing reforms such areas as health care through security and employment we keep an eye on the wage levels of the working. man to twenty twelve unemployment dropped from between twenty and twenty five percent to five percent we've achieved a lot in the social care sector want to give up unemployment is it twenty to twenty five percent and governments cut pensions and salaries you know twenty first

century right lucia stablish a social moderate the venezuelan people to build their own country let us tell it back in december prior to his latest surgery president chavez explicitly announced that he would be his successor in case he can't remain in office friend of the help of the butler there is a revolution and longer how would you describe the personality of nicolas maduro. the simple dollar summer already. each of us is first and foremost a fighter like i man of the stranger game. or take the metro to nomad but we've been in a state a struggle it was six when the kids i think the record said its various locations had been on battleground well when the student movement and the alternative the union movement and the police state and i think tonight in the ninety's just as hugo chavez the man used his leadership role in a moment once he came out in the back and made his address to the nation i got on the way to forth ninety minutes to where he was married we told ourselves we know

this is the broadcaster for a body they have a series and i don't say that there wasn't a day in my life when i wondered what i thought they would have raised because i would feel he only wanted us for the sake of if we don't but i've been making a successful career and now it's about as well as some people's aspirations it describes what i thought it was i don't think i'm belongs in a culture that which is no longer one country and what i put the only career we know about says one of the revolutionary struggle is soldiers fighting for those who have a base is who we are a lot so it's to fight for the also chad my ok we're going to win on shipboard takes us to my left and you're welcome. you know sometimes you see a story and it seems so for lengthly you think you understand it and then you glimpse something else and you hear or see some other part of it and realize that
