thank. welcome to red capital it's been a week of tensions that sort of with the swiss government voting for immigration limits you citizens which would be ok except the country is partly in the e.u. and enjoys advantages of free trade and this decision goes against the basic principles of the e.u. so we'll have analysis to come on that one and more tensions with britain's chancellor george osborne making it clear that scotland will not be able to break away from the u.k. as well as keep the pound me while the tensions on the streets of ukraine continue the economic situation in ukraine. in the situation is in some way connected with the desire to be independent part of an economic unity and the political tensions

result from both. first of all that starts with britain right here so asked scotland gets to decide if they want to go solo and break away from the u.k. george osborne state city yes votes in the referendum which also made a yes to walking away from the pound this is a direct blow to scotland's first minister alex salmond independence campaign also said a currency union would cause great damage to the u.k. and the scottish economy is costing jobs money which could result in u.k. taxpayers promising to bed out scottish banks and hedge the sterlings value in the international markets at least that is what all is born is saying anyway so let's talk this through we've got george galloway right here he's and pay for the respect party in britain so the question is to begin with do you think that mr george

osborne is using bully tactics or has mr solomon's pick and choose options run out which side to use it all. well i think that the sound and sight or george osborne lecturing the scottish people is difficult one for many to swallow but at the same time his message is unequivocal and cannot be avoided it is not possible to be an independent state was using someone else's currency because the people who issue the currency as opposed to use the currency other people who will set the conditions the levels of public expenditure the rate of taxation and so on all fiscal and monetary powers must obviously remain with the country that is issuing the currency and mr sam and i think has made

a huge blunder in claiming that you can have independence whilst using do you keep pound he ought to have had the courage of his convictions and said either that scotland would have its own currency or would join the euro zone i know why he did neither of those first of all because the euro doesn't have a particularly good name here and hasn't been going terribly well and secondly because the example of say iceland or slovakia perhaps even better where the slovakian currency lasted for thirty seven days before the world bank and the i.m.f. moved in and effectively colonized the country was not palatable as an alternative but you can't really have an independent scotland with an english queen or u.k. pound still in nato and subject to american led military political

decisions and of course also still be in the e.u. and subject to all the strictures that come with that if there is a yes in september what is the wisest case scenario if full the scottish economy. or the worst cases are race to the bottom that's the worst case for the working people at least a race to the bottom provoked by a low tax low public expenditure or thought your right reagonomics regime in london forcing is scottish state to chase them all the way to the bottom to cut their taxes even lower to make the public expenditure even less to make even more people are employed and scotland would then be independent in the sense that it could fly join flag from edinburgh castle but the standard of living of people on both sides of the border with virtually perpetual right wing conservative rule in england

shorn as it would be of fifty nine i'm anti conservative m.p.'s taken out of westminster that would be a disaster for working people on both sides of the border and it's the interests of working people that i represent i k. george galloway we'll leave it that thank you for talking to us today for a clear on where you set where you sit on the agenda that thank you very much indeed and another political and economic relationship that is on tender hooks right now this time it's between switzerland and the european union this is following the swiss parliament's decision to enforce a limits on the number of foreign migrants including citizens of the e.u. the e.u. has already started to retaliate to this by ruling that an energy treaty that could potentially slash swifts household spending in the future on utility bills that has been put on hold at the moment is now the swiss who are not full members of the

e.u. but part of the free movement of people and is a not exactly what the problem is the country they staged a referendum forwarded by the right wing populist party the d c but while immigration is the reason behind the new. regulations swiss exports sixty percent of which make their way to the and these could be at risk so that's the situation we're going to devote in this a little further hey we're going to go to zurich right now speak to hans kaufmann he's a swiss politician hans hello to you can you please tell me do you think switzerland right now is risking the health of their exports being sixty percent as i mentioned make their way to the. i'm not very afraid of sanctions in international trade one should think about importance of switzerland for the e.u.

we are a very huge net importer all of you who aspire switzerland is concerned from where i say nothing positive can come out of this new version in terms of the economics. of freight there first of all we really have three years to implement the details so the downer he's already here and our. do not see the consequences do not stop immigration read just want to control immigration ourselves that's what . is a is are not picking and choosing between parts of the e.u. switzerland want to be involved with for example trade and parts that they don't want to be involved with in other words the free movement of people. well day's trade goes back to i think ninety seventy two has nothing to do with the bilateral

agreement and repay your lot for the e.u. think about the beaked arms rebuild through more than twenty billion u.s. dollars in riyadh frag donated more than a billion u.s. dollars for the new ten counties so we do a lot for to go and cherry picking that's simply not true i. know many are asking a politician he should really give me in details. information reached cherry's he thinks about normally then very run out of ideas reach the exceptional for free trade but these free trade we have since ninety seventy two and has not nothing to do with. bilateral agreement on the free movement of labor and as far as the other four freedoms are concerned like freedom of capital flows everybody

knows theses are not really working hands can i just question that because say for example if jon benet said that they too wanted this kind of an on a range offense so they wanted to do trade with the eighty eight but they didn't want immigration jeannot thing that could cause massive problems so if everyone had the same contact to switzerland had then the e.u. would be in big trouble than i you know about they have smaller portion of foreigners in that county only about nine percent we are a fair twenty three percent and we have a lot of foreigners reach becomes race so we really have an author and problem and we find out still sat on the. you are but not all are highly skilled not all of the immigrants are from. so we have a problem as far as infrastructure is concerned. all sold our soul shall not do

work and if you look at the criminality seventy percent off the inmates of the prisons are foreigners so we have a problem and we just want to call draw. and. break to sort out their problems and then reclaim called the new or right hands we leave it there thank you ever so much for taking the time to talk to my ready to appreciate a credit rating agency fitch has downgraded the ukraine to triple c. rating this rating is reserved for vulnerable a condom is a means kiev is now lower than greece the agency cites political instability as well as economic factors to justify this downgrade our foreign debt is one hundred and forty billion dollars right now that's nearly eighty percent of the country's gross domestic product the country is still battling riots on the streets and as

ever since president yanukovych refused to sign a trade treaty with the e.u. and instead in december turned to russia for monetary age but the fifty billion dollar loan from russia has been put on hold until a new government is formed all right let's now dive into the corporate world with see what the movement is shaking russian companies this week chalet so one approaches all the football clubs allow me a f t has been kicked into financial liquidation the players are now free to join other clubs allow the twenty eight million dollars. russia's largest come out of fashion after the us has set a date for plans to cut nearly twelve percent of its workforce this year the job cuts will begin in may a.g.g. measures to improve the company's. the condition this is ahead of the soon to be completed merger will run on the alliance and russian banks have lost their

licenses this way your i trust this is due to insufficient results and accusations of money laundering as well as come from the. fifty eight russian bags they have their licenses restored twenty four team building the twenty nine last years the center by continues its quality coal einstein with banks and just last week we were questioning if the banking industry was becoming more moral now this suggestion will spall its buy barclays chief jenkins waving his million dollar bonus well the latest from the financial giant is that twelve thousand people worldwide will lose their job this shit this is due to profits plummeting by thirty two percent but the reward for investment bankers was up thirteen percent so this is perhaps why mr jenkins thought it was wise to skip that juicy but as i'm sure there would have been a bit of a backlash had he not done so start popping. bonuses the bank his guys i have up

until they're getting on the get about it all right i'm going to be on twitter this week of course you can too i mean that i'll be keeping you up to date with the business while i have a fantastic week and thanks for watching. fly a transit route to vnukovo airport your best way to the heart of moscow.
