the man killed by the f.b.i. during an interview was shot seven times including once in the back of the head but despite the big unarmed the agents claim it was self-defense we talk about that this hour. also from moscow reports say a group of al-qaeda linked you had this carrying illegal sarin gas into syria's been intercepted in turkey supporting claims that anti assad fighters are using chemical weapons in the syrian war live coming to. some of phobias sweeps the u.k. in the aftermath of the murder with the far right english defense league appearing mass rallies now in a dozen cities. and president obama's got his mind on line preparing to confront china over claims that stole weapons designs through cyberspace.

if you just joined us it's kevin i would hear it r.t. h.q. tonight just after ten pm in moscow it's now it's emerged that a chechen immigrant killed in the united states during questioning over alleged links to one of the boston bomb suspects was an armed law enforcement officials a day earlier claimed he attacked an f.b.i. agent with a knife and was shot in self-defense it became to dash is father says he finds that the hard to believe. from the photographs that were sent to me it's evident he was shot six times to the body and wants to the head the back of the head it looks like a finishing shot of an assassination to me it looks as if they came to his house like bandits and shot him in cold blood from the photos his house looked like it had been robbed he was questioned for eight hours without witnesses or a lawyer no one can tell for sure what happened there until there's an official

investigation the agents say my son attacked them but there were several armed and well trained men even if he lost his temper and became violent they could have restrained him or wound him shoot him in the leg or the arm or the shoulder but what happened was murder complete with a finishing shot maybe my son knew something the police didn't want to come out and they killed him to keep him silent. well the f.b.i. says his lawyers only vest a geisha into the incident but that could take months to complete and it is more important to look at where the agency stands on the issue. but the time of the shooting up to half a dozen law enforcement officials including two massachusetts state police troopers and an f.b.i. agent from the agency's boston division were present at the florida condo which was not far from universal studios but the f.b.i. has provided few details after the shooting saying that the matter is being investigated by a specific f.b.i. review team and the f.b.i.

may not finish its probe for several months now the f.b.i. meanwhile has been under enormous scrutiny for missing several warnings about tomorrow on starting the biggest warnings coming from a russian intelligence officials years ago indicating that tomorrow on certain i may have links to extremist groups the f.b.i. for whatever reasons did not follow up and probed the matter to the fullest extent and that some would say led to the the execution of the boston marathon double bombings and now we have this development unfolding where our man that was shot and killed by f.b.i. agents turns out according to the washington post to have been on arm so clearly the f.b.i. is going to have a lot of questions to answer in the coming days with these new developments on this story was trumpeted part of two theories no should be for more of the shooting today is to love to investigative journalist and former los angeles police officer

might root put other mike thanks take the time to be with us hearing there were a number of agents in the room at the time with the shift of the still no clear picture was really hoping to part from why i was no more information come forward yeah well there are two glaring problems with what we have. already contradictory accounts from law enforcement about how the events went down who first of which is the man who was on the. harken back to my views on the streets in one thousand seven. six in los angeles where. olympic medalist juan carlos got combative with a bunch of police officers not not one of those drew our guns and we were getting thrown around like rag dolls and we were all trained and we were all very very fit at the time so there's a there's an escalation of force scale which was obviously or apparently not followed in this case but my second huge problem with the law enforcement stories

he was supposed to be signing a confession to a triple murder i don't care even if you are the f.b.i. which doesn't have a good reputation us somebody is going to sign a confession for triple murder you have a minute jailhouse in a secure setting and the police officer officers won't horsemen personnel around him are not armed because he's in a secure acetic this was at at at at best for the f.b.i. . horribly mishandled but it sounds to me very much like they went there with the intent to provoke him and stage a shooting much like was done with the black panther party members like fred hampton in the one nine hundred sixty s. . that is standard police procedure everywhere in the world was not followed here and if you listen to what his father says he says he's got the autopsy pictures indeed he has we can show them the two graphic his father says that was seven shots one crucially in the back of the head why would you attention he shoots someone the

back of the head if this was self-defense i guess is the question well i you know i guess historically if we go back to nazi germany in the gestapo or even in the stalin era to the days of joseph beriah. these are executions these were silencing debt dead men tell no tales and i will speak as an american citizen my country is behaving like a totalitarian state run amuck. the f.b.i. as we've said says it's going to launch an investigation but it also says it's going to take months to complete that investigation why so law. well that's pretty much standard in. shooting cases i mean of course law enforcement you think dance is a needed a reasonably quickly yes well again that's a commonsense approach and i would demand quick answers for this there's no reason for six seven god knows how many law enforcement personnel to have been there armed

holding him in his house for eight hours like that and that's their own official statement would we need some answers to the obvious questions first do you think we will see an independent investigation here you know absolutely not we have seen you know a long and accelerating deterioration in our civil liberties here in the united states n.d.a. all that and it in the boston hunt the cause of the constitution was shredded in terms of military and police on civilian streets there has been no accountability and at this point after a thirty year career documented corruption in in my government i see the aggressiveness and the lawlessness getting worse and unchecked and it's extremely arrogant right now mike to dust his father says that may have been an ulterior motive for the killing you kind of touched on this earlier on reasons maybe why the guy was shot in the back of the head allegedly if it happened what do you think

that old theory of motive what you think he knew what you think it was about that his father is talking about well i would argue i would be probably in the realm of speculation there and i'm a journalist too i tried not to do that too much but it's obvious from all of the information that has surfaced that the sonar of brothers were had been groomed cultivated by american intelligence agencies include. the f.b.i. including the cia and we know our provocateur ism on the part of u.s. intelligence agencies so i would very strongly suspect that he was someone who could have exposed u.s. government complicity in bringing about the bombings in the first what's interesting investigative journalist and for police of what rupert thinks being on the line there thank you. now is he dot com we've got more on the boston marathon bombings on the web site on the connected cases we've. got if you get a minute to get more details of the investigation and reaction from officials and

relatives of the accused. turkish security forces have reportedly detained several members of the al nusra front a jihadist group that's fighting among the syrian rebels against the assad government the men were apparently on their way to the syrian border transporting a cylinder of salary nerve gas middle east correspondent paula sleep with the latest on this. the group was seized in southern turkey and that is according to local media reports the media are also saying that they carried a two kilogram cylinder with the nerve agent sarin now turkish authorities haven't yet commented on this report and we are waiting to hear from them russians the united states and france in the past have said that they believe it is a sound however that is using chemical weapons but they haven't been able to who did produce any kind of evidence to prove this the british government has written to the united nations banking new alleging we knew incidents of chemical use by assad's forces and at the same time the french government says that it is testing

samples of f. was smuggled out by journalists but all of this is hearsay at the moment whereas on the other hand we have them here what we're seeing is fighters from the al nusra front allied with the syrian rebels court with the sara nerve agent guess it is important also to point out and remind our viewers that the united nations did launch an independent investigation and what that investigation concluded was that they were signs that rebels have been using the nerve agent in a mother investigation that was initiated by the u.n. chief bank you knew that was criticized by damascus because they said that what banking was hoping to do was to investigate every site in syria and the syrian state of reminded them of the iraqi style investigation into weapons of mass destruction the use of chemical weapons is banned under international law and there are concerns by many people that the arguments that they are being used could

trigger some kind of international intervention now there are efforts by the u.s. and russia to hold peace talks in geneva next month but the syrian national coalition has said that it will not participate in these talks and less iran and his beloved renounce all involvement in the syrian conflict this statement does follow the syrian army's advances in the central part of the cunt. three but with the european union's arms embargo now lifted something that the rebels may try might make try to gain the upper hand on the ground and all of this is happening while the first batch of russian and aid craft missiles arrives in syria now that's according to the syrian president bashar assad he announced it while speaking on a hizbollah television if what moscow has said that it will continue to supply a defense missiles calling it a balance designed to deter foreign intervention in syria the u.s. of course is against the sale it and israel has said that it will act to quote the

israeli defense minister to prevent the s. three hundred missiles from becoming operational on syrian soil the minister saying that if the missiles reach syria israel to quote him will know what to do is get more the snow without you could be russian rachet returns he is joining us of one high option if these allegations turn out to be correct that the al nusra front did have sarin gas where might they have got that from. presumably got it from the cities that the temporarily took the fighting is going on because the syrian government about to head for aleppo big but of course this is a this is quite a story president obama's red line or game changer uses different vocabulary all the time about this has been growth but what's president obama going to do about it because it's london and paris and saudi arabia and qatar and turkish backing that have the sarin gas that can kill so many people. you're pretty clear in your head

then that they have got though this within syria's borders here. well there's no doubt the president assad has a big chemical weapons stockpile i think that's been verified by most different intelligence agencies around the world but as britain and france and saudi arabia and qatar and turkey have helped these islamists they were if he got their hands on it if this story is true i did notice obviously the turkish authorities not commenting it's quite amazing that even leaked out to turkish media this story i don't think i would want this kind of information to come out but if the media reports are to be believed it's al nusra linked according to the turkish anti terror police. themselves whatever the case most syrian rebels have been saying about three weeks and that if that is getting the upper hand they use it as leverage to say that's why they just like research support i mean i guess the reason why i picked it up again to push to get on it because turkey's been accused in the past of using chemical weapons against the kurds that's right of course but

i think this is the border areas of. these areas are very close to it and that that would be the suggestion i presume we turks have a quite a lot of control over their own chemical weapon supplies and that ankara would want to use chemical weapons the anger of government against the syrian regime but certainly what it looks like is as i said redline is being gross but it's the american backed rebels that are causing this line provoke a more signs here than the this has been and he is satisfied that it doesn't rule out the government either that they are used chemical weapons either there is still no hard and fast on it completely is there. no but khaled del ponte a one of the greatest experts on this kind of thing for the united nations did do in india mr gage and only a week or so few weeks ago and of course mainstream media tried their best to ignore it tried then through

a character assassinate gullible pontiff by saying he was the same person that said that nato troops were committing atrocities in the former yugoslavia don't trust her she did masses of work on this and what did she find it was the rebels. one to one interviews with huge swathes of statistically scientifically significant. elements and sample sizes that it was the rebels and not the government and this story disappeared off the papers or we heard president obama those pictures of him in the white house looking thoughtful and saying if that's a red line that that's you know that's that's going to be crossed back to the red line by the red line but we've got you on the line. it depends as you say when that red line whether or not red lines crosses rosenbaum is concerned and who's crossing it crucially what about other members abroad do you think it'll change any other minds abroad if this latest thing about the sarin gas is broken. the news

management of the syria story is being incredibly sophisticated and this story i wouldn't think will be on the front pages of newspapers in britain or united states it will quietly disappear like they'll point to his investigation into sarin you know but the big story of course will be russia and the s. three hundred deliveries and the story leading certainly in europe is that this interview with president for. television controlled by well supporting his will i should think sparingly once more i could hear thoughts terms of r.t. contributor ok we'll talk about ocean source we know what your thoughts are on this big story of the day we're talking about what you think about the arms embargo being lifted the european arms embargo do you think it's good you think it's bad. the majority of you as you can see on this map that have voted on our web site so far today of one mind seventy three percent of you think it's going to prolong the war going to cost lives generally you think it's bad news thirteen percent and it hasn't been much change now after say throughout the course of the afternoon still

you've got time to change that if you want to thirty percent if you think it's going to say the rebels are losing the war good news for them eight percent it'll give the gulf states new channel for arms interesting take six percent think it's going to twist assad's arm in the talks but hurts so much the minority when you compare it to that the majority seventy three percent you're pretty polarized in what you think if you've got any other thoughts tell us on our you tube channel tell us at r.t. dot com as a comment section by all our stories of course. it's. well told her my language or what i will only react to situations i haven't read the reports so unlike the players i know i will leave them to the state department to comment on your latter point of the month so it's secure yet a car is on the docket no. joke no more weasel words

when you have a direct question be prepared for a change when you punch be ready for a battle freedom of speech and a little down to freedom to costs. very

good have you with us tonight here in moscow china has flatly denied allegations that it had been to designs for u.s. military hardware including blueprints for the world's most expensive fighter jet but washington isn't taking any chances and he said there will be beefing up its cyber capacity for a future cyber war the obama administration is indeed pledged around three billion dollars in twenty thirty to stave off online hacker attacks forty teams of american cyber agents are to be formed of which thirteen will be engaged in offensive operations and he's going to teach a camera as the story. the cyber race between the u.s. and china is starting to look like a real arms race it has these drills it spies and both sides accusing each other of cyber attacks this june china will be holding drills with special i.t. units within its army for the first time the chief of the u.s. cyber command general keith alexander says the u.s. is now busy setting up forty new teams of cyber agents that will both protect america's critical infrastructure from hackers as well as launch attacks against

the country's adversaries and so that there is no confusion as to their capabilities general keith alexander says quote i would like to be clear that this team is an offensive team the offensive nature of u.s. cyber defense program is emerging new reports which say a large chunk of the country's current cyber endeavors does not rely on defensive strategy as one might imagine but instead involves offensive operations launched with the intent of causing harm on the computers of adversaries a recent reuters article cites defense contractors and government officials most of whom speaking on condition of anonymity and the article says that the us government has become the biggest buyer in a burgeoning gray market where hackers and security firms sell tools for breaking into computers the u.s. has demonstrated its ability to carry out a cyber attack against a foreign country when they attack the iranian nuclear facilities a similar attack against the u.s. would be seen as an act of war by the pentagon's own definition there's

a certain game of words going on here when it's against the u.s. it's called a cyber attack when is the u.s. doing it it's called installing software but there would be no cyber race without spice and the latest development here is that the chinese have reportedly hacked into the pentagon's most sophisticated weapons systems leaks confidential report by the defense science board intended for pentagon leaders says two dozen system designs were compromised those systems are said to be critical to u.s. missile defense and aircraft you. officials point to china u.s. news outlets run articles with headlines like this one china is winning the cyber war because they hacked us plans for we'll war china traditionally denies the accusations of cyber espionage but if the accusation is true if one still has to ask the u. what's what do you expect when they see your cyber or forces attacking another country's infrastructure or when they hear you say you are pivoting to asia pacific

with all that military gear to counter china in washington i'm going to check out. while there's parts of washington now former pentagon official michael maloof is the michael hi there i mean how important should countries put this on the priority list the infrastructure the cyber infrastructure i.e. what's the worst that could happen well thanks for having me it's a very serious development the chinese and others might be targeting are our critical infrastructures which are all electronically based so consequently any attack on our on our critical infrastructures could actually bring them down particularly our grid systems and some seven or eight other critical infrastructures that the united states relies on as a technology base country and even the former defense secretary as many made mention of this as a very serious threat but as your commentator pointed out we the united states has

been doing launching offensive counter cyber attacks for a number of years now particularly on iran and when it comes back and had us then it's it's tantamount to war it's because i think of the new global spying playing field isn't it us included as you're saying there. yes this is this allows them allows particularly the chinese because of their new emphasis on information technology to. do do this kind of access remotely anytime you have an internet you have telecommunications this is going to be the new wave it saves them trouble in time of planting agents and taking years to develop these kinds of things and trying to get into infrastructures they if they target that looks like they're not targeting the pentagon so much because they can't get into actual classified

systems but they are targeting the defense contractors and the fence contractors are doing the majority of the work for the pentagon and they're their protection there's their shields are not up to speed and i think that's why the the cyber command now is being created and they're going to have to reorder the priorities question also is this the finance department watch the attacks on the critical infrastructure does the department of homeland security so it's a very serious i'm going to fight for what i want to but not for sale not been an elf i don't want to fight over that between. it's going to be a serious by a battle because i want as we always have here these packages get into it and they they want to know who's going to who's going to have the lead in the meantime the espionage continues the chinese particularly electronics develop they have entire regiments they they have places over there in china that hire ten to fifteen thousand people whose job it is is to make counterfeit microchips and then they

sell it to the defense contractors and there have been recent studies in the u.s. senate that pointed out that some of these have actually got into u.s. weapons systems and these microchips can be programmed they can be programmed for espionage for gathering information as well as sabotage to destroy the system just to reiterate their own serious development just to reiterate that michael of course in this case china says no it hasn't done such a thing it doesn't need to it's as good as old technology would you make of that response. who has their own technology china says it hasn't spied in this case it wouldn't need to because it's got its own technology doesn't need to steal anyone else's. no that's not true they're they're trying to. keep up with the united states in terms of how to conduct this new wave of warfare for the future they need they need to stay up with with the latest in technologies and order to be because of their own desire to expand out for power projection and to protect their

own interests and they see the examples that the united states has shown in terms of information technology and warfare and remote capabilities of launching attacks and they have been a behind the power curve even the russians of through their military reform are doing the very same thing now they're beginning to look at what we call c four i s r that's a command control communications computers in information intelligence surveillance and reconnaissance. that allow the military to scoop up all of this information and then be able to process that almost instantly whole new big scary ball game is that michael a former pentagon official thanks for your thoughts. you bet thank you. well china is transitioning from military hardware to hard drugs would talk about such subjects beijing says it has an army upgrade to deploy digitized troops using i.t. to gather intelligence to succeed on the battlefield we're talking about online and

read up more outside of kabul plus two held indefinitely without charge of the military base this isn't kuantan a mode talking about it's the british army acting in afghanistan again r.t. dot com if you want to read up more on that. i would rather as questions for people in positions of power instead of speaking on their behalf and that's why you can find life though larry king now right here on r.t. question more. the u.k. now where one of the suspects and this was gruesome killing of a british soldiers being challenged in court the broad daylight attack in london

sort of a berridge of anti muslim and anti immigration protests in the media after about ten mosques were attacked across britain and several assaults on muslims have been reported the far right anti islamic english defense league says it's planning rallies at more than thirty locations this coming saturday in turn and fascist groups have called for kinds of demonstrations to coincide with those protests but for western leader the nationalist liberty jeepney party told us the reaction though he thinks has been quite restrained considering the circumstances. i don't really see the fact that the a.d.l. are protesting about this as being some sort of a right as it's been described as richard you know it is a perfectly valid response to to a british soldier being killed on the streets of london in the name of islam. i think we're trapped in a very vicious circle that is going to get worse and worse and i don't know how you go about trying to deal rather as these people unless you start shutting down mosques which are practicing sedition which are practicing. with saudi funded

a lot of this problem comes back to saudi arabia and radicalization where we have to start closing down mosque which are practicing hate speech and to you and to feel alone to anti homosexuals and. indigenous people if that's what it has to take and that's what we're going to have to do because this problem is going to get worse and it's not going away. from the ramadan foundation he told us british muslims are united in their rejection of radicalism what we solve the last seven days after leaving these brutal and barbaric murder is a strong reaction from the muslim community that is what we give and the message goes out very clear that if you are involved in terrorism or extremism you do not represent islam you're not acting in our name and you bring in shame on the community and you must be confronted and we need to see real action from the police

and the authorities to deal with this threat you know terrorism affects all communities while you're talking about here in europe or talking about united states across the world but actually i think the majority of the british people recognise that this is a very small minority of people they don't represent any particular part of our community and actually if you look at the most victims from terrorist attacks i've generally have been muslims themselves and it is more reaction analysis almost sort of come online and on air for most of the coming days pinions differ. in many parts of the u.k. they're experiencing a seismic shift in demographics sarah first reports next on the so-called white flight from urban areas with large immigrant populations. london. a multicultural hub known for its thriving diversity spanning the centuries but research by social think tank reveals that while london remains is fibrin to serve and it's perhaps not as integrated as some people might think longdon experienced

a huge amount of. flight. income people mainly in the suburbs leaving london because they think it strange too fast for one of these people is jane kelly having lived in london most of her adult life she's seen first hand the cultural shift is now looking to meet house she fills the area she lives in it's lost all sense of community all people i knew when i moved in here have gone they've all moved away. now mostly flats with very transitory population but perhaps surprisingly it seems many of the older generation of migrants who live around here and have settled and built up businesses agree that integration is not working as well as that maybe should be ethnic cultural diversity in london that's part of what makes one group so why do you think it's being a little too close to the problems the right to be on his resume is foreign people

more or less these european people they just interested to do a short journey make the money and run off the country and there's no investment very very return to their country there's nothing to rebuild the country is only for themselves to make money and you know first of all i mean i've been to this country when i was like twenty three years old now i'm forty three years old so i'm investing business i'm doing so many things in this country paying taxes back into the country and you know that's the way it has to be in london white brits now make up just forty five percent of the capital's tehsil population. we're here at one of london's busiest train stations and in the working week a commuter hub over the course of a decade in london stories white british population for a moment six hundred thousand people lost in the commuter towns on the outskirts of the populations become more ethnically mixed so you know that white points are

leaving london behind the question is why i want to thank their family it's having on the local communities they've left behind well there's a certain amount of diversity which is very nice in any city. but when the diversity becomes so extreme that you have. balkanized groups but there were no actual. traditional communities or the traditional communities around number of completely new comers newcomers keep on rolling in it has a very alienating effect what's been seen across the cape for a long time has been most acute in london but the figures aren't the full story avoiding ethnic communities does play a role in so-called white flight but evidence shows that race may not be the main driver i think the main thing about that white flight reminds us of is that there is a problem the mistake it makes that says that problem is just about ethnicity it's not it's about age and it's about mixing between people of different incomes and we need to address all these things together there are now concerns britain could see

yet another immigration surge at the end of this year when some twenty one million romanians and seven million bug ariens will be free to travel and work across the e.u. only a fraction of those are forecast to actually come here the previous immigration under-estimates coupled with white british relocation changing the face of london's ethnic makeup without much understanding what the full ramifications of that might be. so if r.t. . coming up very soon tonight saving europe is the order of the day in paris germany's chancellor merkel's visit to french capital. it's been left with presidents alarmed them to convince them to abandon austerity there was a live press conference that ended for an hour ago we got more much meeting bit later this hour but there's certainly a touch oshie with business a touch of the news this week that some of your strategy is being eased for some of the the badly performing countries in europe has not affected the currencies them

well it's really affecting the currencies because it's their perceived strain that really matters and it's especially true for the u.s. dollar and it's really under serious threat of losing its status as the reserve currency of the details in the business bulletin after a very short of the. wealthy british stock. markets. find out what's really happening to the global economy. for a no holds barred look at the global financial headlines two kinds a report. sometimes you see

dollar has been losing its appeal as the reserve currency for a number of years now as countries around the world continue to look for alternatives now in the sixty's the dollar made up ninety percent of the total world money supply it's now down to just fifteen percent this year according to the international monetary fund to be sure the dollar for now continues to be the main medium of international payments the central banks around the world hold more than sixty percent of their foreign exchange reserves in the dollar washington's superpower status largely depends on the dollar strength but despite despite the efforts to maintain the currency status could we soon enter the air of the dead dollar that's the question i asked brenda kelley of i g markets in london. i think about how we true to say is that the federal reserve in the us have devalued the u.s. dollar to a great degree over the last few years bringing their balance sheets to about three

trillion and of course raising the debt ceiling not once but twice over the last year or two so there is the dot particular point of view that since maybe nine hundred fifty two we have seen a solution of the u.s. dollar and it has drifted to a fifteen year low these are the several other currencies i'm not so certain it will lose its reserve status. it may not be the number one reserve currency in the world it may be ten years from now. i do feel but those maintained i mean that in the very short term it does seem to gather a lot of culpability if there's any volatility in equity markets so that would make it stand alone for the time being what will then be the reserve currency in a ten year timeframe there is a gathering suspicion that we will see the chinese yuan take over the pull from the us dollar and not those seem to be rather clear over the last number i suppose trading sessions that we've seen we saw a spike in the u.s. a ten year bond yields there the just recently and of course there are conspiracy

theories as to why that is some would say that it is juice the dust we have seen improved data from the u.s. and others are saying that there is a bit of an anomaly but normally speaking when you see bond yields rising stock market prices rising it does generally means that the markets are recovering force again you can also say i love the fact that the equity markets are rising and is from this cheap money this quantity of easing that has been pumped into the market and any sign of stopping taper or tightening does tend to tend to see investors running towards the exits so there is a point to be made this quantitative easing does put a little bit of pressure on the safe haven reserve status of the u.s. dollar and i think we're not seeing anything similar coming out of china in a way as a means in a way it is a little bit more value than the low and the longer run the fed reserve has already said that it wants to scale back these stimulus measures how is that going to affect the dollar and its reserve currency status. well i would

expect that this tapering effect that we've been hearing about is a little bit more a little bit nothing more than conjecture for the time being we have seen some mixed market data coming out of the u.s. even the unemployment numbers just today gone by are proving that all is not all that rosy in the economy i think the tapering we will see will be very very small at the beginning i already we're seeing eighty five billion of us approaches every single month even if the u.s. is bring that back towards i don't see any real nominal difference to the u.s. currency it is just mostly the rhetoric that's sending a lot of investors at the sidelines on the fears that the i suppose the punchbowl of liquidity might be taken away so i would expect to see the u.s. dollar probably see the bond yields rise somewhat as the expectation that we will see interest rates hikes in the coming years but i do feel we're quite a way off for the time being how will that affect the u.s.

ability to pay its huge one trillion dollar a year national debt well i thought i couldn't dissipate that that will be a problem when you think about what a default actually means it is the inability to repay even the interest or the maturity of the debt and i think obviously as i've said there were quite a distance away from that particular scenario because i think the talks revenues do seem to cover that for the time being but as you get a little bit deeper into it. the fact is when you can print your own currency you generally will not be able to default but if i see you say there is a little bit less opportunity for the u.s. dollar then i would expect that the fed will have to come up with something a little bit more. more different to what they've been doing i think the key takeaway for the last number of years from the fed is just print more money and that will solve the problem it sounds like you don't actually exclude the possibility of the united states defaulting on its debt within a five to ten year period is that true. no i wouldn't i wouldn't necessarily say

that i do feel for the time being as long as we get improve growth then there should not be a huge problem there of course but growth is the problem at the moment and that is the main issue we've got huge amounts of debt both in the u.s. and of course in europe as well and very little growth and obviously is what is creating the problem if we do come off what is of extreme an extremely low base we could revive this and i think in some respects avoided scenario because it all comes to worse than i would expect to see some problems there. and let's take a quick look at the markets first to the currencies since we just discussed the u.s. dollar on thursday it was trading at a three week low to the euro and that's after the latest stats on the u.s. economic growth disappointed traders and the jobless benefits claims rose more than expected now here in law school the ruble lost value to both the u.s.
