12:30 pm
example that golden dawn have had close ties with the greek police there have been arrests of two prominent policeman so far but also members of golden dawn in the greek security services the greek. security service official who was in charge all these were monitoring the movements all the party turned out to be in fact carson of an m.p. of the party and most probably an informant of the party inside the greek intelligence so far. not banning golden dawn because they want to avoid a situation whereby the movement although with the organization rather goes on the ground and becomes a more threatening force in greek politics at the same time however they're arresting its members and they're going for something like a defacto ban without a proper legal bat. one is ahead including british islanders being kicked out to

12:33 pm
a complete transformation of a so since the l.m. pace was announced just behind me on the ride we've got the stadiums themselves and really big infrastructure this is going it is incredible eighty five percent of the region has we tell you silly we've built from scratch i'm talking roads rai's tanos gas pipelines and you name it and luckily for russia there's an abundance of rifts in philly and as that are willing. to foot the bill and although we get to witness any loses in the games themselves i think prosser pretty much definitely gets the prize for expenditure having already spaced out fifty billion dollars over the fifty billion dollars and that's around about four times over budget so how does manage to blow the budget is such a spectacular fashion that one example is the cost of the risky job that what from thirty seven million it to over two hundred fifty million dollars actually resulted
12:34 pm
in a man getting the sack he got pushed over the mountain as a result of that one and it's not just so it's been a complete budget a bailout there's been plenty of other examples as well that most notably the suez canal that was twenty times over budget was followed by the sydney opera house as well and i went down to see if i could track down some of these are such investors to see they found getting some money back. you know right here with me on the card in secret just behind me but the fact is they told nobody they're going to be here and i don't want that any time soon as they do with investing into science if i want to know why i'm going to set up camp here and i'm going to wait for them and see if they ever will appear now i did manage to track down one of the big money spent his hair it's all in the past his company basic they've built all sorts of things including the olympic village it's so good an

airport built by them as well as a marina to pretty much half of the complex going on here and i managed to catch up with the deputy general director of the company and are only going to be able to make any money on these investment came join right now but i enjoy alison from basic element out we're going to be talking just now about your projects here we know we've got the olympic village that we're now working through i've been working on the air refurbishing it as well as the marina to. a total cost of one point four billion dollars i believe are you going to get your money back unless of course we will you know will be doing the for for a long time you know we've been involved in different infrastructure projects and this one is very special you know and of course it's very special because it has this olympic angle and the projects were doing which is an airport olympic village and the marina you know they're not just commercial projects per se they also have this social in olympic angle it's kind of a p.p.p.
12:36 pm
type projects you know the public private partnership thing where the government is helping us a lot with the structure you know for example in the seaports you know we have invested over six billion rubles which is roughly two hundred million dollars into the project however the government also have built have invested almost acquired some of the same amount of money in order to build the all the infrastructure support for that and if the return doesn't count argument's sake do you think there's going to be some punishment that he's going to beat. you know i don't think it's a lot of blaming game you know we were not looking for anyone to blame if we turn doesn't come the government wants to see that investors do complete the obligation and you see here you know you know the olympic village you know this nice building is already standing ready to you know except a few defer skilless for the olympic games the port is there so i think when the
12:37 pm

throughout the nation have to be sold through a convention and we're all on the lookout when it comes to say visas and intake is . getting people to come to sochi because. for example moscow sort. which is now more expensive ofen going to paris or london. the other thing is of course that is more forty because the potential for foreign tourism is that. the big off the road. but sochi remains to be domestic destination what kind of person is going to come to such a is it going to be say the call center. and. you know do the russian middle class is it's becoming very very unknown because grown
12:41 pm
dramatically over the last ten years. so to have four. hundred. forty million nation. now when you when you count households some sixty percent are considered to be in the middle. meaning medium. income to the family of twenty over twenty thousand dollars. so the market is. and it's a big it has already the brat activist in the. one person who doesn't need to worry about money is so he's got ten thousand u.s. dollars to let's check in at the headquarters of all skin see what he's been up to showing you in positive territory. well before we get in to the portfolio at all i have to say that you're not allowed to leave moscow any more when you want to st petersburg it became cold rainy and gross here now you've gone to sochi and the
12:42 pm
weather is probably wonderful there but here it's too cold but let's get to the portfolio this is what you really want to know about last week we talked about the photo wars and your old kelly and i have fallen victim to the said the protest wars in fact i got involved because it was rallying it showed some promise it looked like it was on an upswing with a lot. movement happening here china even getting involved but now i touched it and that seems to be the touch of death it went down one percent so this week not doing very well down overall one hundred twenty three dollars for the week the entire budget basically or my entire portfolio is down from nine thousand three hundred forty dollars of the original ten thousand i need to do something to make this happen now you're and you're talking about the olympics i'm inspired to think about sochi is that you know the weather's great it's a good location what about investing in tourism unfortunately i can't do that can i
12:43 pm
i'm going to look into companies that are like possibly helping out the sochi venture in this case i haven't gotten involved in the financials yet so i'm going all in this week we're moving into spirit bank because they've invested billions in the infrastructure in sochi so i kind of feel like i'll be doing my part in helping in the olympics in the movement there and trying to make a little bit money back because look down i need to get above that ten thousand because otherwise what else we could all right so you keep saving up but you have moolah enough money to cover here she added do it because south so when it comes to the sochi olympics yes there's been abundance of activity families most notably it has to be and it's been a that greece is telling me that i cannot make a challenge but the house with some successes as well as have staked out but also one of the sort it's all too early to say why sochi is going to stay in two and if this south that's it now you don't want i'm off to go and see if i can seek out
12:44 pm
some other gods. the macmillan family in canada has decided to defy time itself and keep their family trapped in one thousand nine hundred six sort of like new age only for one year and not their whole lives so to live in one thousand nine hundred the family forbids the use of any technology developed after the mid eighty's they want their children to experience the world they grew up in when you had to read books and if you're outside no one could call you and there were no tablet computers to stupefy children at a moment's notice as a parent i have some sympathy with this idea because i like all of you have seen that technology is dumbing us down a lot i mean how often do you have to memorize
12:45 pm
a phone number nowadays and we've all seen bad parents just sit their kids in front of the technology and ignore them to chat on facebook about what they saw on netflix but on the other hand for the first time in human history you have the power of knowledge at your fingertips there is an instructional video to do anything you want on you tube and getting basic information about any scientific or historical topic is one click away if you find the idea of the self-made man romantic the now is your time because anyone who has the will to learn can learn you know i don't come from money without the internet i would definitely not have this job and i'd probably be worshipping at the feet of rush limbaugh deluded by the mainstream media modern technology can make your mind with information or break it with cat videos and dumb trendiness but that's up to you and this is just my opinion.
