are you to the states now tough action has already been taken against people that have been avoiding that tax bills have already had two thousand rest made over debt so which which they oversee this days as a consequence the state has managed to gather no i mean maybe in your eyes to state coffers so is greece right to come down on paper with up on paying their way is this just a step too far well within all still to make scott because he's an old economist and international lawyer he's joining me from athens just now hynix a first of all what you make of this may. well it's a little bit of a desperate measure desperate times and it will hit the desperately poor people hardest this is putting a measure but the troika has advocated the troika of backstopping where there's of course six twenty ten and they finally got their way when push comes to shove will learn does usually get their way. we all know that in greece one third of the

people live above the poverty line so the idea that you can squeeze blood from a star is quite silly i think it's going to be a very regressive measure it'll probably be the small most exe of the small ferrari or the big fish but a very sophisticated bernard millions in back taxes are going to get away scot free and there is no argument there can no one of this the greek people are notorious for avoiding paying tax is that unfair to say. no it's not unfair to say a big reason reasoning behind that the greek health system education system infrastructure and pensions are just a disaster so great people certainly don't like to pay taxes because that i would see value for their money at the moment there is about sixty three billion euros in back taxes or now this is an economy of about two hundred billion euro that a country with a natural data from europe or the thirty billion euro of course out of the sixty three billion. forty billion is our god bankrupt companies so it's going to have to

be very not what they're trying to use access some of the money of the twenty three year left over but of course i doubt they're really going to work very much this policy idea is that. everyone is trying to broaden the system the reality is it's only a small minority that are doing that but they're going to be clobbering millions of people across the. ok make a long way ahead a rocky ride no doubt. talking to us from athens thank you very much indeed for your time today so greece is on the way out of recession apparently am we've also got island with some positive news because today the country will officially break away from international funding of the country will no longer be dependent on its eighty five billion a year i bet it's happened for three years now and just this week bank of america merrill lynch's economic outlook for twenty fourteen in it they said the island

alone which of n a all the only years and countries likely to see a significant in their words pick up next year. now the bank said the island's economy would grow one point nine percent next year more than twice its projection for the usa and just ahead of germany as well says dive into tito all this we always get the reality from mr across a. from the. listen tell me last time we chatted about this we develop a it's all good for you rosy and wonderful and very pretty but the reality is quite different there you go look below the top line if you look at the property market right now i think you're seeing greater relative inequality rents are being pushed up words salaries are still remaining very low obviously there's been lots of cuts so people are suffering because of the world across the board health care is probably the most inefficient health care system in europe and on top of that you've got very slow job creation and it's all about jobs that we have is that i we know that that's how people survive on. so this only applies if issues are there

you know the problems are really there and you don't see that in the top line numbers we just see the party numbers listen and still has the year i what does that mean how close they decide and have to watch the likes of portugal spain greece if they go down idence going to be in trouble as well they're watching the euro very carefully the their very very tightly managed by the european commission for example of the troika are still there they still have a very strong influence of what arlen can do there is a warning that was issued from brussels last week when a draft budget was revealed from the from dublin and european commission wanted on and to increase the cost two billion in cuts we're being made european commission is looking for to know how we can because we want to categorize them so they're still roosevelt's and it was terribly more more cuts and you know more. more social happiness man from our hearts ache for the after just five years and yet it's still something you see so the general view the positive view the island is a poster boy for. instance oh it's i got it i think i think on the one hand yes

arland has has got to take the arj people have taken an extraordinary amount of pain probably too much pain in my opinion but it was the opinion for example of joseph stiglitz the nobel prize winning economist who thinks excuse me who thinks that they are people who were made to bear an unfair burden by the the austerity policies that were that were forced upon them in the decision to let the financial terrorists get away with one hundred thirty billion in about that so i think. i think the situation in arlington is not something that's going to change very quickly i think we're looking at a lost decade in orland and i think as long as issues like immigration are running rampant i think you're going to see a very very slow recovery for a country that's taking a battering from the world economy got to art across a artie's news editor he's now going to do an hour is down three go.

thank you so you know it's time she was very much. the global economy struggles with excessive debt to russia is playing the heroes so it's a mess by writing off debt that is owed to various countries around the world this week a deal to rise of ninety percent of cuba's thirty two billion dollars debt owed to russia was signed cuba's economy has been crippled by the fifty year trade involved by the us which is being called a barbaric genocide by the country's foreign minister but it's not just cuba that russia is going soft on over the last twelve years russia has been given a total of one hundred sixteen billion dollars of debt so what other countries are being told to put their money back in their coffers that would it have a well the whole of africa has been let off paying back the second biggest amount which is over twenty three billion dollars afghanistan which will no longer have to pay back the twelve billion then it's a rock which will get to keep eleven point nine billion dollars and they were going

to have it. with eleven billion into it so. north korea snap eleven billion they can keep hold of that as well but russia right now all right let's move on. now let's get to corporate we're going to. impose because christmas is around the corner and apparently the situation is getting better because it is notoriously volatile so expensive russia says it will deliver fifty percent of all apostles between now and new year's eve in the same period last year the company promises they'll be known the piece of them out. since the policy is that stand up most goes passports and so it sounds like sounds silly they say well it. doesn't have it from the start was telecom is preparing to slops jobs with the most the officer post he sets of it's one hundred fifty five thousand stop the main reason for that layoffs is the company's mobile provider have a say. things are rough says the president to say so not black face contact it's

just stopped offering a subscription to movies so the site will collaborate with media which owns the rights to hate be a say game with friends breaking bad. now i'm going to get a little bit emotional now because we're going to get to the business desk with mr solmes almost for the last time. come on tell me how you've been getting on i'm not going to be asking you this ever again so. well i'd like to tell you that i had great news but unfortunately if you remember i was in financials speer bank down at one percent this meeting that i'd lost one hundred twenty four dollars bringing my grand total to twelve thousand three hundred thirty seven for my final portfolio you know i wish i could have a great news but unfortunately i lost my last round i k i'm not a mathematician but that means you are up for the year tell us about the experience i do you know my. favorite polish i say tell me about your experience how he found

the whole thing so well. that i said thank you very much and i'm sure that your favorite part of the show ok five months up twenty three percent that's actually really good considering this is very difficult people should not invest week to week in chasing trends they should actually do a more long term strategy and leave it to the professionals and do the long term type investing but what we did was we started off with metals in august at ten thousand dollars took a huge hit end of the month at seven thousand six hundred thirty one then slowly progressive lee each month got better and. one thousand four hundred sixty three october of one thousand nine hundred thirty november for the first time we added above that ten thousand mark it turns out the nine hundred ninety two that's when you got your plane tickets to sorcery on the budget airline of course december twelve thousand three hundred thirty seven a percentage increase of twenty three percent which is good overall but of a very very tricky and dangerous strategy listen thanks ever so much for getting

involved us so we really appreciate what you've been fantastic mr schultz almost in-house investor for twenty thirty. now as you just heard shawn managed to make the majority of his games during the coin boom when the virtual currency rates the one thousand mark now at this point the world of global finance salted to take notes and now u.s. banking giant j.p. morgan is planning to launch their very own patch system now much like big court this new electronic system will allow users to make payments completely anonymously and users would not have the expense of today's why if that's what the bank says anyway but you know what the reality is the world has already gone virtual as more than ninety percent of all finance transactions taking place over the in sallie's have a look at how big did perform this year thanks it's been a very interesting one and we'll be able to see that the price has actually tripled since october hey we've got these two booms going on just in the world took note of
