and we did a create an economy that benefits people interest instead of only corporates and profits this is the problem if we don't change the microcosmic all beyond hold the well really the migrants will become the scapegoat but you know when the then we will look for another scape scapegoat and solve and so on and so on but this is not the solution to the problem mr general secretary it really is about a widening wealth gap and that's happening all around the world and i want to read a quote of yours again with regard to immigration welcoming a couple of million migrants is not a problem on the contrary you said if you were able to provide both refugees and native workers with new and better jobs the problem will be solved so this really is a macro economic determination in your view the first element is to change the macroeconomic model of course we need to move from austerity nearly broke my meaning i concentration of wealth to a few ends as they say to do something that is more

a sustainable growth from all the let me this is possible because these exists if we take for example one european continent this sweden in the last five years they increased public investment up to three percent of the internal g.d.p. they have increased wages by up to thirty percent in the last five years they have rainfalls the 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 come to be demoted to come to meet the most technologically and digital country in the european union they created an enormous number of job quality jobs and 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 comparably 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 i mean seen 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 no. also cool to 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 i'll tear not even we

are not not no more 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. played for many clubs over the years so i know the game and so i got. 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 super money kill you know the owners and spending to do the twenty million and one player. it's an experience like nothing else not to because i want to share what i think what i know about the beautiful game but great to transfer. and thinks it's going to. prescribed medication is widespread on the us market and a frequent cause of death at that point in my life i just felt like everything was ashes my family was literally coming unglued i had actually planned. to commit some sight was all who was 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 gellatly alter what i did was done on

a cocktail of legal drugs. just because something's legal doesn't mean it's saying. that. it was her but out there in the world well on earth what. do you know you know milton didn't love it enough good luck. to. them 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 rest and a hurdle to economic growth artie's alex model of edge has more and toronto. his 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 seven five trillion for the u.s. g.d.p. and two point five trillion dollars 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 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 this 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 does all these 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 now 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 work on 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 two who are i will say the d.c. tell you 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 are 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 count anybody on the east or you have 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 often gets 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 as 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 kill 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 coming it's still not enough i mean especially in terms of job creation but particularly because the european union institutions are changing their approach 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 tool some new policies put in place by the european union and particularly there are some initiatives i mean two that they rebalance the economy they mention with the social dimension in the european union a serious also also off legal initiatives i mean to. force a bit of the european to support 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 moving to a different model and can you tell me given the current scenario in the in the world and particularly here in davos 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 maybe for let's say. 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 the globalized economy we need even more internationally of 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 particularly to be really international 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 global policy the capacity of evony of 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 unity among the different categories of workers because we don't have to forget that globalization and the crisis and austerity they have created two categories of workers the so-called insiders and the outsiders i mean the ones that are still a bit protected and they're struggling to keep to keep their protection i mean and

their rights and on the other side the others 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 outsiders but the other the other way around let me mr general secretary or something that you may not know and there's no reason you should but i am a very small polit like you are a poet or you're pretty well renowned i'm just a financial. 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 the landscape into an infinite walk and you've certainly arranged the labor landscape for us and 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 old the time we need to change she told the time that's the sense of the kind of wool i may know that we continue aiming evolving and we

never stopped by me now to stop fighting that is still struggling but the never stop also trying to change things and to change the war the disease i think our mission if you want a sports but that's what the unionists the general secretary of the iti use see luka 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 but before we go here are some final words from commissioner bart shelter. before we go the theme of davos is 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 with check out boom bust at you tube at youtube dot com slash boom bust archie catch you tomorrow . that's right stand. up for what i saw. i know that i was sure that there are rather you know stuff that's out for their kids and that.

only i let them but i'm going to cut and then you can keep an. eye on you through the channel for all of that and. then. the other thing the only a lot of the. members. i know. it's whole full. news a government pay off the tongue in theory this is. true she ought to give a. lot farther than after the whole fuck around mr hate that for jim and then i hope that our freddie macor. days ago the u.s. secretary of defense james mattis updated in revived 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 without it. please yes i was pretty quickly marco polo you'll probably. help remove the last logo for the people who are thrilled mostly we're going to my wall so we will put you know one of them stood up for a little push about so. can you can't you. understand you know the model of these crowds move you to coax them we've seen on t.v. movies and t.v. easy shows reason if you look good. you will know that the abduction took place the secret of the armor sure you can you get other cool news but when you tell. me my suspicions.

russia is complicit in the assad regime's atrocities you are going to use judge and prosecutor russia is running from the facts will be made your choices your true motives and methods for investigating chemical weapons in syria see the russians and americans head to head at the un is moscow is blamed for every incident regardless of who carried out the attack also if you come this hour nazi. germans are outraged to find out that bird in his remained silent the minute he deals with ankara is the media publishes pictures of german my tanks being used into his offensive against could his forces in syria. and talking racism in sweden few inches in internet campaigning to people to share their experiences because

some have complained the anti racism sentiment has gone too far. well i welcome we're coming to you live from moscow this wednesday morning where it's just gone eight o'clock here in the russian capital now our top story tempers have been tested at an emergency u.n. security council meeting over new investigative methods into chemical weapons attacks in syria russia is pushing for an update mechanism a proposal washington is strongly rejected despite floors in the previous prime russia is complicit in the assad regime's atrocity you are acting as judge and prosecutor russia is running from the facts your behavior exposes your true motives russia has the audacity to lecture this security council this is a long political spectacle for not going to accept any russian proposal that

undermines our ability to get to the truth we should at least have taken a look at the draft before rejecting it russia all on its own killed the mechanism we had specifically tasked to identify those responsible q what do you need an investigative mechanism for before an investigation you have been accused the syrian government of using chemical weapons. well the far exchange there came after the u.s. secretary of state kind that russia was to blame for the chemical incidents in syria regardless of who was behind the actual attacks. whoever conducted the attack russia ultimately bears responsibility for the victims of these and countless other serious targeted with chemical weapons since russia became involved in syria the problem is it hasn't even been confirmed that these attacks even happened let alone who is responsible and there are only two sources saying this and both are

notoriously pro-rebel this whole blame russia game continued at the security council on that same nikki haley's 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 that we're not going to accept any russian proposal that undermines our ability to get to the truth or that politicizes what must be an independent and impartial investigation to naturism so the fact that the us dismissed all proposal right from the start reveals the truth that they do not need an impartial investigative mechanism so 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. well the joint investigative mechanism mentioned there was established in twenty fifteen by the un security council along with the organization for the prohibition of chemical weapons together they drew up several reports of keys in the syrian government of being behind the chemical attacks including one of the deadliest in. in april of twenty seventeen however conclusions were made despite no experts actually visiting the site the missions mandate has now expired so let's take a look then at what russia is proposing for the next one moscow is calling for experts to actually visit the sites of alleged attacks to collect samples in this new mechanism the previous mission relied mostly on the eyewitness interviews and russia isn't opposed to interviews being used as a means to collect information we are several experts for their views on the issue i don't know why russia would have any interest at all in allowing assad to use us

as we can see from this incident and ones before every time it's used it's used to attack russia so it's just ridiculous instead of reaching the solution what tell us and should have done rather than saying that russia is ultimately responsible just creating yet again another verbiage another statement just to point blame at somebody else what tellers then should have done is say we're going to try to work together whether russians were there in syria longer than we have and to really try to solve the problems here to try to find a solution if one wants to find the truth it will take a serious investigation snap judgment is. when serious investigations are done which does take time which takes on the. you know examination. not just rolling on the agents who are actually over the worst the facts are shawn but. the armed opposition. well with rex tillerson saying that moscow is to blame for the chemical attacks in syria our senior

correspondent not against the have looks at what responsibility washington should take for its involvement in the conflict the end justifies the means they say some things no matter how horrible just have to be done before hardcore fighters they have to be rooted out this is an ugly business but it is necessary business it's only after when the dust settles and you see what you've done that you start having second thoughts this is when you say damn what did i just do. the devastation goes back as far as you can see it is almost beyond description how deep the damage is as many as a thousand strikes a month on record alone just strikes not including. tanks and all that more than eighty percent of the city was deemed unfit to be in by the u.n.

at city hall but raised so let's start with the obvious incredible work has to be done just to get people back into their homes except we won't pay here is the disclaimer stabilisation not reconstruction the us will help fix the pipes but someone else is going to have to sort out the rest of this mess no sir the coalition freed you you do the rest we humanity variance including the u.n. do not have access to iraq a city because of the presence of explosive hazard contamination which is endangering people trying to return to iraq a city and it's also endangering humanitarian access over two hundred people have died while trying to return to their homes and hundreds more have been injured from our understanding of the reports that we have only a limited number of neighborhoods in iraq a city have been cleared for returns and that's mainly in the outskirts so who is

going to pay to rebuild an entire city the guys who helped the straw it say they won't the civilians returning from tents in refugee camps the syrian government which doesn't even control rocca who. what a ghastly of reporting there were meanwhile thousands of protestors across europe are rallying against turkey's military operation against kurds in syria demonstrations were held in athens and london as people waved kurdish flags and carried antiwar ban is a similar protest to took place in the german city of mannheim people there were angered that german made tanks are being used in turkish offensive into northern syria peter oliver has the story. the turkish military operation against the kurds in syria has caused some consternation here in germany however officials in berlin say that they're only somewhat concerned about the actions of ankara the military

confrontation between turkey and the kurdish forces carries rich in. the last thing syria needs is another standoff imagine the surprise when german saw the footage of turkey's military offensive against the kurds and they saw german made leopard tanks as the speed ahead of that offensive it comes at a time when germany's foreign minister is the rio is pushing. for the tanks supplied by lynn to ankara this is all seen is part of a charm offensive by the german foreign minister as he seeks to normalize relations between germany and turkey however when it comes to questions over whether german tanks are being used against the kurds. answers from the german government the norm the ground there's no official stance from the defense ministry from the foreign ministry or from those who deal with exports at the ministry of economics here no

tanks see no tanks speak of no tanks that's the lying coming from the german government at the moment but when it comes to the german people they don't seem convinced that they should be providing arms to turkey right now i don't think so why not. because war is bad at all. it's going to harm has caused a disturbance in this region so i don't think we should sell him tanks well i think that's awful became for the turks of fighting against an entire people this should not be happening this is terrible we should not be sending any weapons at all no matter who's behind it. now another new sweden has launched a social media campaign to take a stand against racism allowing people to share their experiences online however some believe the initiative itself is offensive is and he said i think explains.
