and in the last five years they increased public investment up to three percent of the their internal g.d.p. they have increased wages by up to thirty percent in the last five years they have rainfalls social protection system so this doesn't create a tall i mean unemployment or economic. cetera et cetera on the contrary it has created an incredibly cool is eve and sustainable growth model in the country they became the most competitive country demoed country the most technologically and digital country in the european union they created an enormous number of jobs quality jobs end at the same time they have integrated two hundred fifty thousand migrants they have the highest ratio between migrants and not eve citizens in the ward i mean of course sweden is a very small country i mean comparable to other countries i mean eight to ten

million not eve city since amy and they have integrated not only welcome because you know it's not only a matter of welcoming people and putting them in attempts aiming. in several countries i mean the problem is that first you have to create economic environment to to integrate them and then you have to put in place policies for integration that means languages their language teaching that means providing good jobs i mean that corp with the skills that these people are improving their skills if needed i mean and then created also a societal environment that is really helpful i mean not to create tensions but on the contrary to create an amalgam i mean some kind of will. also cool to really integration if you want to go there with an economic and social integration all these the swedish model shows that this is not impossible the reason ultimately that we are not not no more or we should not be any longer aiming in this stop the stock in this thread. as they call it i mean there is no alternative alternative is

possible. time now for a quick break we'll have more with the general secretary in that interview in a moment plus alex mahela bitch will tell us what canadian prime minister will be doing here in davos but first now let's check the numbers at the closing bell. next time just by the national survival guide. when customers go by you reduce the price. to now well reduce some power. that's undercutting but what's good for the market is not good for the global economy. applied for many clubs over the years so i know the game inside guys. the ball

isn't only about what happens on the pitch for the final school it's about the passion from the fans it's the age of the superman to kill the narrowness and spending to get the twenty million and one player. it's an experience like nothing else not to because i want to share what i think of what i know about the beautiful game but great so what chance for. the base. prescribe medication is widespread on the us market and a frequent cause of death at that point in my life. like everything was ashes my family was literally coming unglued i had actually planned. to commit suicide watch all who has made antidepressants so commonly used we were doing what the doctors told us to do we were being responsible and what the real side effects.

was is unlikely alter what i did was done on a cocktail of legal drugs. just because things legal doesn't mean it's thing. that. canadian prime minister justin trudeau delivered a keynote speech at the davos conference striking at any quality as a major factor for global on the us and our good old to economic growth artie's alex model of edge has more and toronto. at a second appearance at the devils forum prime minister justin trudeau made

a keynote speech he started off by talking about t p p and how it's alive and well without the united states of america they are countries that are involved in it right now should be signing off on march the eighth to push over or push forward with that deal for issues that he thought were really pertinent dabbles a i and technology really took the helm he was talking about how technology is replacing workers and how countries and institutions corporations really need to address that fact because another issue pops up inequality inequality he says is a dangerous thing that's going on in the world right now we've seen the numbers we've seen that one percent of people on this planet hold about over eighty percent of the wealth and he says that is dangerous that corporations need to do their bit to stem that and to basically make sure that workers are getting what they are due on top of that he was saying that women's rights this is a big deal when it comes to prime minister trudeau have to be front and center for

the canadian economy load he said if the gender gap is less and the canadian economy could add one hundred fifty billion dollars to to it by two thousand and twenty six one point seventy five trillion for the u.s. g.d.p. and two point five trillion dollar boost for china if they do the same thing so some big numbers here on the sideline street will be talking to business people from alibaba coca-cola alphabet big companies and he will also be talking by having bilateral meter meetings with a lot of world leaders back to you. want to get back to davos switzerland for the second part of bart's energy with the general secretary of the european trading in confederation let's go that's unclear . and in that regard you know in the in the u.s. we've sort of taken a different approach is i'm sure you know just had

a recent tax bill in the the theory behind that is you give tax breaks to corporations and then they will trickle down to the rest of the population and provide better income but you're really saying that it's different when you talk about sweden and in the e.u. you're talking about investing in people both social job retraining cetera and then that will work its way up. exactly you know flat tax or reducing taxation in general is not the way to increase wages i mean also because then people who are left to pay for any kind of social protection they need to bring their life including pension systems etc so at the end is a fake wage increase aiming and. the water column in general but particularly then the capacity of the state to to continue investing in the economy and to continue performing in terms of social protection systems so that we look to a completely different and alternative model we don't want to decrease to decrease

taxes we want to increase wages we want increasing vestment does is the point i mean mr general secretary how do you make this case particularly given you know there are these austerity measures in germany and other places around the e.u. where the obvious belt tightening going on i mean how do you make the case to legislators in the e.u. and other places where you have members and that this really is the way to go forward yeah there are two elements and one is for migration in particular you know there was no austerity at all about migration policy in the european union in the last two three years on the contrary i mean they were peon unions to do shows they put billion euros of disposal of the different member states and to welcome migrants to refugees and to integrate them into labor markets etc and paradoxically . we had a completely mixed situation a mixed reactions on the one side you had full count race two of them very rich

germany and sweden that welcome a lot of people more than one million people in total and then you have other to be who are i will say the d.c. tell me my own country and then greece and they also welcome under a thousand people i mean also because they have the border of the european union exactly where the migrants are coming in and all these countries where paid for that and yet resources i mean to make sure that the system was working and then all the other member states of the european. the other twenty four more or less refused to work on any refugee and depart doxy is that the ones that were more vocal in refusing are refugees where the counter is where unemployment is lower and where there is more fiscal space to invest money for that i mean in the west of denmark the netherlands even france there really beginning they refused to will come anybody on the east or you have and very poland slovakia czech republic countries

where there is almost no unemployment on the contrary you have incredible brain drain because the wages are so low that all the young people leave the country to get somewhere else i mean to get a job a decent job and so they have on the contrary a problem of gaps in the labor market they could feel for with very skilled i mean migrants and refugees but they refuse it simply for ideological reasons so this is one element is the money is there is not true the darnall resources to do it the problem is that politically speaking they don't want to do it then when it comes to the general problem of austerity again ok we faced almost a decade of cruel stary in the european union does destroy jobs but also killed people actually really killed people because there were a lot of people going for suicide i mean because they couldn't get a job or because the their activities were destroyed i mean they were out of the society etc so terrible it was terrible of me but now the situation is light improving not only because there is some kind of growth palming is still not enough

i mean especially in terms of job creation but particularly because the european union institutions are changing their approach and they are really moving from the old facial neoliberal austerity to a different macroeconomic model and there is a lot of public money mobilized at the moment to to some new policies put in place by the european union and particularly there are some initiatives i mean to say rebalance the. comic dimension with a social dimension in the european union a serious social also off legal initiatives aiming to or establishing reinforce a bit of the repeal of the so-called european social mobility that was more or less dismantling during the crisis and the austerity policy so there is a chance probably this is the moment when we can really catch the momentum for changing i mean for for moving to a different model and can you tell me given the current scenario in the in the world and particularly here in davos as we're talking about dealing with

a fragmented world is solidarity among those in the labor movement as important as it's ever been given the current circumstances. well you know there's been a trend in the last years to come back to the nation of naming sure i mean for fear mainly for let's say. three shown not to be able to influence of the international decision in the globalized war dummy but you know this is not a solution in this globalized warding be globalized economy we need even more internationally as most of the of the of the of the labor movement than before i will say because you know even if we fix a problem the sweden i was mentioning before well if you have around a completely different situation that creates dumping against the counties that are performing better in terms of inclusion and sustainability well in the long term they will be killed so it's fundamental for the labor movement i think not only to

be united but tickled only to be really international to do to build up a new kind of international solidarity that is not only about let's say showing solidarity or slogan so demonstrations is a bold a global policy the capacity of evony having an influence i mean on global decision makers to change it to change the situation and it's not only about let's say you need to be between counties it's also about you need. among the different categories of workers because we don't have to forget that globalization and the crisis in those thirty they have created two categories of workers the so-called inside us and the outside the us i mean the ones that are still a big protected and they're struggling to keep to keep their protection i mean and their rights and on the other side in the digital economy in the platforms etc. with no rights at all and so we need to see to see how to make sure that we are not simply moving being side to the conditional of old side as by the other the other

way around let me in mr general secretary there's something that you may not know and there's no reason you should but i am a very small paul it like you are a poet now you're pretty well renowned i'm just a financial poet but one of your poems the walk really caught me and i thought it might be apropos i want to read just one line from it you say i arranged a landscape into an infinite walk and you've certainly arranged the labor landscape for us in our viewers but it's really just not a short term thing this is an infinite walk for you isn't it exactly exactly you know the landscape changes older time and we need to change she told the time that's the sense of the kind of wall camino that we continue aiming evolving and we never stop by me never stop fighting the stop struggling but the never stop also trying to change things and to change the war that this is i think our mission if you want a sports but also through the unionists the general secretary of the iti use c.

luca vincent teenie thank you so much for being with us. we have so much more from the world economic forum in davos than right here in d.c. including my interview with patrice on women making their mark and us but before we go here are some final words from commissioner bart shelter. before we go the theme of davos to share is about creating a shared vision in what they call a fractured world and there are many political economic and social issues that we talked about today on the program and these are issues that people around the world do not agree upon there about our collective purpose around the planet and remains a pretty elusive goal to attain but that narrative that shared narrative is something that can actually make individual nations and the world a better place and that's what many people here in davos would like to see at the end of this week and that's what this economic forum is all about we'll get to more

of it in the coming days but for now that's all the time we have please check out boom bust at you tube at youtube dot com slash boom bust archie catch you tomorrow . it's right to say i have. no problem with a song. i know that i don't know that there are drugs that you know stuff that's out for their kids and that. only a little bit of that that's in there you can keep and. i don't lose a child comes home and. then

i was on a show with a lot of. the family owned lot of the land and then listen. well without a lot of. room. for the good the toll for pleasure for sure go on the news or you have an unhealthy chunk of tyria says elaine true she auto a. model for the name africa will fuck around for a second if that for a dream and then boil for hope that are her demeanor of course. days ago the u.s. secretary of defense james mattis updated in revised america's global defense strategy it is a dark vision of the world and calls for a massive defense spending what he calls a defense strategy critics say is a blueprint for the u.s. without it. about your sudden passing i've only just learned you worry yourself in taking your last bang turn.

your out to you as we all knew it would i tell you i'm sorry for me i could so i write these last words in hopes to put to rest these things that i never got off my chest. i remember when we first met my life turned on each breath. but then my feeling started to change you talked about war like it was again still some are fond of you those that didn't like to question our arc and i secretly promised to never again like it said one does not leave a funeral in the same as one enters my mind it's consumed with death this one quite different i speak to you now because there are no other takers. to claim that mainstream media has met its maker.

cliff yes it was pretty hard with the leg for a couple of years but you know. the emperor in the last election i believe will do it so well the young can we will all suitable for you know one of the other most often little bushes that so. many folks out here from time to time magazine do to the you know the middle of the scouts. even who cooks the briefs you know t.g.v. easy should resign the stage. of the old dutch procedure to the english so you can you get other counties but then you tell us leave you did you miss told me my suspicion i was there.

was. eleven calls for a new international probe into chemical weapons attacks in syria after the us secretary of state claims moscow bears responsibility for all such crimes are part of some who carried them out. to protest the breakout hit across switzerland against the gathering of the rich and powerful at the world economic forum in davos . and u.s. government confirms that several americans were among the twenty two people killed in a taliban assault on a hotel in the afghan capital. broadcasting

live direct from our studios in moscow this is r t international john thomas really glad to have you with us now the u.n. security council has concluded an emergency session on the use of the chemical weapons in syria samir khan has more. u.s. accused the syrian government of using chemical weapons while russia highlighted that there is no solid evidence to substantiate any of these claims well the two sides had a pretty heated exchange earlier this week we received yet another report that the assad regime has used chlorine gas against its own people what your version of the timing of the announcement was very fortunately trey's and around the time of the meeting in paris in the upcoming syrian national congress such a strike you joined. us meet a envoys who rushed to accuse the syrian government for receiving any evidence and without wait some investigation to finish russia has be audacity to lecture the security council about how to stop the use of chemical weapons he told which of us

we were the strongest advocates for an investigation a professional investigation not an imitation. russia is complicit in the assad regime atrocities you can visit some countries are still trying to force your organization for the prohibition of chemical weapons but the plane went to moscow it's not on the stand and in doing so on the mind of your door see if this respected organization. this came after secretary tillerson accused assad of perpetrating a chemical attack that supposedly happened on monday let's take a quick look whoever conducted the attack russia ultimately bears responsibility for the victims in the us and countless other syrian targeted with chemical weapons since russia became involved in syria this whole blame russia game continued at the security council on that same nikki haley statements were more about russia than anything else she even accused russia of killing the joint investigative mechanism

but at the meeting russia said that the joint investigative mechanism became a political tool and called for an impartial investigation into all cases of chemical weapons use in syria including the joint investigative mechanisms new reports are not going to. any russian proposal that undermines our ability to get to the truth or that politicizes what must be an independent and impartial investigation just a lawsuit is a good spot all the good the fact of the us dismissed on proposal right from the start reveals the truth they do not need an impartial investigation of mechanization arguments when you go. in there and you could use even though several other member states supported the proposal of a new impartial investigation the us rejected it saying that it's ready to bring back the old joint investigative mechanism quote but all other suggestions are unacceptable. the swiss mountain resort of davos has opened its doors for the annual world economic forum and this year it's pulled in

a record number of world leaders including the u.s. president but many are determined to show that he is not welcome. ah. around two thousand people marched through the streets of zurich to denounce trump's a visit and the entire gathering several smaller protests took place elsewhere in switzerland including geneva actually checking the take a closer look at what is on the agenda at the palace for. the world economic forum is well underway here in the scenic town of davos nestled in the swiss alps and the guest list is chock full of political heavyweights such as may merkel mccrone and to many surprise trump no one expected mr america first to even consider participating in a forum whose boast the globalist idea of creating a shared future in a fractured world and yet he slotted to be the last speaker of the event and will most likely use the opportunity to soapbox about his own brand of economic nationalism and all the political elite continue to enjoy the conference and rub

elbows the i.m.f. has warned that the current economic climate has caused voters to lose faith in them voters in many advanced economies have soured on political establishment doubting their ability to deliver broadly shared growth in the face of tepid real wage gains reduced labor shares in national income and rising job polarization and in reality that discontent really shouldn't be all that surprising given that those in the ninety nine percent aren't the ones enjoying the benefits of the recent economic growth oxfam who works towards the relief of global poverty as recently proud to report outlining just how dire the situation is revealing that in two thousand and seventeen eighty two percent of the wealth generated went to the top one percent the number billionaires skyrocketed leaving us with now over two thousand billionaires world wide and as that economic crisis continues the focus of davos seems to have blurred a bit at the politics of two thousand and seventeen leakin for the first time ever the summit is church solely by women and

a number of the discussions really don't seem to have anything to do with economics at all focusing instead on race privilege and harassed. all of the greatest hits from the past year the social issues of two thousand and seventeen including. inclusiveness. how this month was mentioned and all the things have been everywhere in the new sport that sounds important maybe but not as important as the economics of the summit i think that north america europe japan and all the developed nations have never been as inclusive as they are now all told by the way of course there are reactions. to certain things like the migration crisis but the people are used to it now much more than before and we are very inclusive it's not a time for crusades anymore. it donation from the russian cyber security firm can spread the lab is at davos they spoke with r.t. . i would say the trend from the last few years and actually one of the main topics

of this year in davos is fragmentation of the world unfortunately it's happening there is a global geopolitical tensions and fights between countries and it backfires private companies far as us i would say that the pressure in the united states is enormous it's the biggest it's really disappointing for some reason and surprising for me that that private company can be limited in its operations in the contre with no reasons with no facts just the decision of the us government it's really frustrating because it means that we can't protect. government and. that is one of the best according to independence and this is just means that. they leave themselves on protected from from cyber crime and from cyber attacks which is really frustrated and i believe that in the long term this is just a very. very wrong decision to ban independent private company from its operation in the country. alright delegates arriving at the world economic forum have been

literally snowed under over the past week davos has seen a nearly two metres of snowfall in the heaviest in nearly two decades traffic has been disrupted with many delegates struggling to reach the venue there's also high risk of avalanches but many people are seeing the brighter side. that was reality economic and environmental social and political fragility in avalanche territory a loud noise can bring the whole mountain down and donald trump comes to town on friday turns out davos is actually a social experiment when you gather a bunch of the police then make them carry their own. and then whines with each other out. wonder what would happen if. no one could leave for a week and the world realize that it could run itself without the business and political elites. guards blockading prisons across france and calling for a complete security overhaul more than one hundred prisons are affected and the strike was called almost. two weeks ago after a series of assaults against staff by n mates one of the hot spots has been the
