little course we need to move from austerity nearly broke my meaning i concentration of wealth of us as a seed to something that is more sustainable goal smaller than me this is possible because these exists or if we take for example one european continent the sweden 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 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 country did most innovative 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 as well is a very small country i mean comparably to other countries i mean eight to ten million not eve cities in samy and they have integrated not only welcome because you know he's not only a matter of welcoming people and putting them in attempts amy. 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 integration. if you want to make in social integration oldies the swedish mold of

shows that this is not impossible the reason. no more we should not be any longer i mean this stop the stocking the strap both as they call it i mean that he's an 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 let's check the numbers at the closing bell. politicians to. put themselves on the line they did accept it or reject.

so when you when the president. wanted. to do. this is what the korean people. interested in the war. when lawmakers manufactured them sentenced to public wealth. when the ruling classes protect themselves. in the final merry go round of lives only the one percent. who ignore middle of the room sick. 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 without it. but rather stand here from us and. move from what i saw. that are a lot of our brothers you know that are for america that are. only allowed to but i'm going to cut in line you. can keep an eye on what i have to lose each other for twelve years on that and it is living. below then i'm going on a show with a lot of. other than their own and lot of the. members that i would hate for not

doing. good for told but choice for years i have them and they are charming to me has said. somewhere else for them after that it will fuck around to say it for jim and lawyer but i hope that our friend in the. canadian prime minister justin trudeau delivered a keynote speech at the davos conference striking at any quality as a major factor for global on rest and our good old to economic growth our g.'s alex model of which has more and toronto. at his second appearance at the devils forum prime minister justin trudeau made

a keynote speech he served off by talking about t p p 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 as four issues that he thought were really pertinent at davos ai 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 in a quality 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 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 a 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 dollars boost for china if they do the same thing so some big numbers here on the sidelines trio will be talking to business people from alibaba coca-cola alphabet big companies and he will also be talking by having bilateral meter of a meetings with a lot of world leaders back to you. once they get back to davos switzerland for the second part of bart's interview with the general secretary of the european trading and confederation that's including. and in that regard you know it in the in the us we've sort of taken a different approach as i'm sure you know we just had

a recent tax bill and 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 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 the pension systems etc so at the end is a fake wage increase aiming and. the one economy 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 taxes we

want to increase wages we want increasing vestment does is the point i mean and 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 go 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 a tool of policing the european union the last two previous on the contrary i mean they were peon unions to do shows they put billion euros of disposal of the different member states to welcome i got us to welcome refugees and to integrate them into labor markets etc and callie. we had a completely mixed. a 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 that are a bit poorer 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 and all these countries where paid for debt and yet resources i mean to make sure that the system was working and then all the other member states of the european union the other twenty four more or less refused to will call any refugee and depart doxy is that the ones that were more vocal in refusing refugees where the counter is where unemployment is lower and where there is more the so-called fiscal space to invest money for that i me in the west of denmark the netherlands even france there really beginning they refused to will come anybody on the east or you have done very poor slovakia czech republic countries where there is almost do unemployment on the contrary you have incredible

brain drain because the wages are so law that all young people leave the county to get somewhere else i mean to get a job a decent job and so they have on the contrary a problem of 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 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 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 economic dimension 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. where 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. three show 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 international easements 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 fundamentally. deliberate movement i thing not only to be united but tickled early 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 a 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 that 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 krises and the austerity they have created two categories of workers the so-called inside us and the outside this 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 in the digital economy and 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 mr general secretary there's 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 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 arrange the 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 all the time and we need to change she told the time that's the sense of the kind of walk i may know 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 union 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 and 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 bartsch. before we go the theme of davos this year 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. catch you tomorrow. but i don't want to sell you on the idea that dropping bombs brings peace to the chicken hawks forcing you to fight the battles that still. that you saw try to tell you that every gossip and tabloid lifestyle. mum often doesn't tell you things you are not cool enough to buy their product. of a heart that we along. with one. yes i was but with a large couple of you. jump in the hole

that also helps nobody else i believe will do it so well mostly we're going to the wall so we will put you know one of the most up in little bush about so pick a fight he felt. kind of can't handle the upcoming i was scott's more of the kook of school we see on t.v. feed easy children you will schedule. you almost a bunch. of course if you do though i'm wishing you can you get other corners up when you tell us maybe you did to us all but you're using my suspicion i was there. to. exist says harlan kentucky. with all of this move the voices of people going street families leave.

a co money city with almost no coal mines left. the jobs are gone all the pay was said i'd. love to see these people the survivors of a world disappearing before their eyes. i remember thinking when i was younger that if anything ever happened to the coal mines here that it would become a ghost town but i never thought in the million years i would see that and it's how it's happened. i am i i i i. i i i. i.

headline stories are tensions flare at the united nations as the u.s. this misses a russian proposal to create a new. investigating suspected. in syria it comes after the us secretary of state claims. ultimately responsible for all chemical attacks in the country since twenty fifteen but we're not going to accept any russian proposal that undermines our ability to get to the truth of the fact that the u.s. proposal right from the stocks reveals the truth that they do not need an impartial investigative mechanism the u.s. government chiefs of destruction and the. description for america's devastating bombing campaign against islamic state. more meddling

allegations u.s. democrats claim russian response of all for intensifying calls for the release of a potentially explosive congressional memo on social media. the exclusion of a number of russian athletes from the upcoming winter olympics triggers in the sporting community. your tuning in from right around the world welcome to moscow and to r.t.e. international my name's union o'neill our top story there has been a fiery exchange between russia and america at the united nations over who's to blame. for chemical attacks in syria and how they should be investigated. the previous investigative mechanism was completely flawed there needs to be

a more transparent and credible system in place but that proposal was rejected by the us russia is complicit in the assad regime's atrocities but 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 haven't cuse the syrian government of using chemical weapons. only emergency security council meeting was called after reports emerged of another chemical attack in syria on monday the us

secretary of state claimed that russia was ultimately responsible for all other such incidents since its twenty fifteen intervention in the conflict. whoever conducted the attacks rochelle truly bears responsibility for the victims of these and countless other serial 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 so 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. of the fact that the us dismissed all proposal right from the start reveals the truth that they do not need an impartial investigative mechanism 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 right mechanism samir a mention 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 accusing the syrian government of chemical attacks it included one of the deadliest encounters in april last year however experts did not actually visit the site before reaching their conclusions well the monday to for the joint

teams investigation has now expired on moscow wants changes made a new body set up one of russia's the moms is that site visit should. part of any future investigation so that some polls can be taken directly it also underlined the importance of eyewitness accounts which have been heavily relied upon in the past by the un we heard from security and political analyst or martin a shelby about the dispute he believes the u.s. is deliberately trying to create difficulties for russia and of upcoming syrian peace talks in sochi this is the instigation i think by the americans because the timing is very interesting next week there's a conference in sochi and then sochi is a conference where the russian government is pushing forward the national reconciliation in syria let's say or national dialogue an exchange between the different values groups in syria including the kurds by the way they want to get everything on a table to sit and talk and find a solution for the continuous suffering of the therion people for so many years and

and i think that it doesn't play into the american interests and therefore they want to actually cleared obstacles raising this issue and raising the tone in the security council russian proposal calls for a more credible. credibility investigation and the americans didn't even weren't even interested in reading the russian proposal and that is the problem and that is the back to finding any solution well with rex tillerson blaming moscow for chemical attacks in syria against the of non looks at the suffering and devastation caused by washington's involvement in the conflict the end justifies the means they say some things no matter how horrible just have to be done these are hard core 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 by the u.n. a 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 ariens 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 held the straw it say they won't the civilians returning from tents in refugee camps the syrian government which doesn't even control raca who. with just weeks to go until the winter olympic games get underway inside korea more russian after leeds are now expecting their dreams of competing to be dust the international olympic

committee has sent a list of eligible participants to russia and among those missing are athletes who have never failed a doping test in their entire careers. tensions in the sports world are hitting another high as the i.o.c. has confirmed that the number of russian athletes that are eligible to compete in the upcoming winter olympics is to be reduced now unexpectedly and without explanation now the full list of who is eligible has not yet been released but the russian olympic committee has disclosed a number of names that are thought to be who will be disqualified and that decision is ruffling feathers not only in russia but abroad as well a french sports outlet has published a article online condemning the disqualification of two athletes in particular we will not be embarrassed to speak about a denial of justice. and are banned from the olympics because they participated in the sochi games both have undergone hundreds of anti doping controls since two thousand and fourteen and dozens more in recent months control is carried out

abroad controls carried out by independent bodies by federations and analyzed throughout europe never in russia the result over the last four years a biathlete has never tested positive. is a by athlete who brought a gold home from sochi and he and his team mates. or leaders of team russia and were both two main hopefuls for winning medals and south korea as well they're both world champions and in all of their years competing neither has ever tested positive for doping and that's one of the reason the the decision as an injustice the tone of this editorial will not please everyone that's obvious but there are still questions about the integrity of the decision makers since when can we condemn innocent sportsmen to punish the guilty is obvious to ban the russians that don't also for the rest know the i.o.c. has promised to publish the full list of eligible athletes on sunday just under two weeks before the start of the games leave.
