boys only grow higher. i do think the numbers something they've measured us is over one trillion dollars in debt more than ten white collar crime families. eighty five percent of global wealth you longs to be ultra rich eight point six percent world market. percentage some with four hundred to five hundred three per second per second and this one

rose to twenty thousand dollars. china's building two point one billion dollars a i industrial park but don't let the numbers over. the only number you need to remember one one business show you know for the mid one and only boom but. the internet has not built for security so we have to take it to a different level and we have to take the norville you want that is five g. level when you can embed security security as an industry and the security has all they need to expose the fears and all the hacking devices so that people get afraid and they get to know we have to come up with new infrastructure this is very important to start thinking positively about the north tools to build a new system. welcome

to. the baltic states have been on high alert calling for more nato troops to keep perceived question a question. as to moscow bogeyman image completely. foreign minister. moving. numbers in the baltic states on the border with russia all the while politicians pushed. through in brussels drumming up the hypothetical threats of a russian invasion will those fears over. europe do business with moscow

what kind of reaction might the buildup provoke from the kremlin and is there any way for those three. with russia yet his. former foreign minister welcome to the show it is great to have you with us today as president mr says that the european union needs an effective. against a possible russian attack the su want more nato troops on the borders where the show will he feel more secure in that case well first. this militarization of society's conscience is creating very high waves and is it groaned that i don't know i think it is not i think this is the minimization rush to ten is just not

a policy. it's a lack of policy so how long will it take place call long it will last i don't know i think both sides are sick and tired of this impasse while what what should happen to finish this. policy against russia i don't know but it is a very good question because we live in a very complicated world we don't know what will happen tomorrow and so on so on the other hand the target is that more nato troops are on the border will inevitably be seen as a threat to moscow as like two plus two is four. what is latvia trying to do you in this case that is president does he want to provoke question or make it more and

secure what is he going for what do you think. well first of all lent is not a policy maker and we polish the takers whatever come on you know and union is foreign policy a well put forward a lot they will follow. be friendly towards russia. and well as. these military. nato. natives issue. well. to provoke russia middle are trying really is inconceivable so that is stern it remembers like the baltic states and poland which had to have a history with russia are the ones that are crying foul over they perceived rational threat meanwhile western states have little beef with the moscow well the insecurities and historical grievances of some members of the new be enough to

polling here me and into a confrontation it really doesn't want you doesn't come military force ok germany's speaking about creating one e.u. army is. going to work this is well known to work and americans don't like good americans was their own vision of europe security as they have started creating a military base in poland airbase a new media. americans a well known soup for. you army and whatever military actions you. think about i don't believe that someone in the west is seriously think thinking and believing. russia's military sarratt you have to know russia to understand that i should doesn't need new conflicts new wars

this is special it was the former allies of warsaw pact countries and baltic states i'm convinced this is just. a narrative of those who are involved in military service and military guys yes they have to justify the money they receive from as they budget and so on so forth but those who seriously analyze russia economic situation in russia russia's foreign policy they realize that russia doesn't need war was you can phrase or was nato can say. so here have mentioned here were paid army and while the baltics are preoccupied with a wash they aren't too happy with the idea of what you are paid army that is pushed in berlin and paris why is that that way. that president is

calling for you know in a way i think is a bold exe countries and former or eastern european countries they are looking towards washington and with trying to please america washington in all respects in military respects also in economic respects when president was in washington he promised president trump will start buying american gas these things is economics things are being politicized and. what would that mean to the country to let his economy nobody knows today. well ok but you know all these issues and so this is the fact is we're looking towards washington not towards brussels because brussels we believe that breaking up and

and we don't have any and any. and the idea call world e.u. will look like in the year or two or in forthcoming future so are you saying that latvia is a more guided by the washington than brussels or controlled if you want yes. ok yes yes it is so because if you. want to open as we have one. military advisers will have a month and you will realize that yes we tried to rely on washington without understanding that washington is slowly but leaving nato and moving towards pacific oceans they are. america's main interests

military interests economic interests not any you are thrown considers we are in europe we have four times bigger population wise as in russia where you spend then you are four times more money on military needs than the russia does why should americans be here and defend europe which doesn't have its own character what is europe. so latvia and estonia they don't have enough military cap and military to defend themselves against any kind of an adversary to be honest now there are alliances treaties such in place but are the baltic states really sure that the english or the french or the americans will go to war over our talent especially in light of trump's treatment of nato article five the clause that states attack on one is an attack on alt. i don't think that anyone seriously believes in the possible of war between nato and russia this is again i repeat

myself this is not. those involved in a military figure but normally people realize. that russia is not a ball to start new conflicts in and in former soviet union countries or eastern bloc countries this is just propaganda nothing more. so russians comprise around a quarter off the population of latvia but their language has no official status and education in russian is hard to come by not a situation you'd expect from a state i mean is it all about diversity after all so if what we are wants to minimize the russian threat why doesn't it change the way it treats its russian minority to deny moscow any kind of a pretext for anything aggression. it's

a very long story about. our failure to integrate russian speaking people in so our political life as you know we have our own three hundred thousand russian who do not have political rights and this is a big and serious problem i think we have started realizing that this is a problem but it's still a i think those who are who have been mistreated let's put it this way for those almost thirty years they treat as a stepmother because elected three of them is a step mother so i don't think that in a change of all is say is the nearest future could bring in a serious changes what the russian minority is seen as potentially dangerous by lapping government so why not reach out to it that instead of alienating those

people to make sure that they will be on your side if push comes to shove off. well for this you need you need a understanding of global situation situation in russia you have to understand more of the world what our world will look like in the year or two and we don't have this vision those people who are making politics they are just. trying sort of revenge and. blame the russians calling names as occupants and strangers and yes many of them during all those years have become strangers to the country but this is a lack of policy this is a lack of understanding that we need a horror movie a society to achieve serious economic prosperity and economic goals and also country was is so divided as we are is

is very easy to talk if someone. would want to do. that we're going to take a shot break right now and when we're back we'll continue our conversation with. former foreign minister talking about the relations between russia and the baltics . push stay with us. the braggs that saga continues a deeply divided british house of commons can only seem to agree on one thing it

doesn't want the u.k. to leave the e.u. without a deal the problem is there isn't a parliamentary majority. on what to do next maybe this was to resumes play and all alone breaks it down. next guys are fine it will survive until they say maybe the girl i. loved it is it is essential plugs for dying at the moment i don't call them right so i stopped. someone. bought there you know what they cost. or you. come upon a fair amount of still think i don't want to. go through because

a couple of i did. e.g. got a honey. locust case on here to. boil for you if they think you know how to. fish and you know you won't be able to perform. those get on very. careful here. it'll be night movie so. now we're back. for a minister talking about the ever strange ties between russia and the baltic states and european security. let's look at the be seen north stream gas

pipeline. by russia. and germany and the baltics stand against it but one day pastes it well waiting since nobody really wants to blow up a money making pipeline be beneficial to the baltic states and sure that russia not nor e.u. will ever in danger this profitable project well during all those twenty nine years of our independence we have never never had shortage of guys which way buy from russia why should we be afraid that one day russia will cut those supplies will stay without gas this is again and politicize the issue because of americans americans are producing the biggest producers of gas today and tomorrow they will start. selling their gas and so they're interested in this from things this

project and will they succeed i don't know i am i'm afraid they might because. europe today being so divided and resolves is breck's it then all of the problems they have inside inside brussels and inside the e.u. well maybes and they might succeed even succeed which would be a very very serious blow to the european economy imagine germany. who is selling fifty percent of what they produce selling. it means that they products will become much much more expensive. but again this is a big story and it's not for me to speculate on on these issues but of course this again this is a very politicized issue and this belongs to systematize ation of russia putin and this is you know this false understanding of the situation they think well ok

put in will not have money and he will be. just kicked out of the curb lane and someone will come and we'll be very western friendly and old such nonsense is put into us friendly towards the west when he came to power and twenty when they saw us and but there was didn't want to be friendly and then gauge russia in the big politics so. well actually have a couple of questions about that a bit later but talking about the north stream to the baltic states when you think about it except it's being under the influence of the united states also stand to lose transit business what russia because of been a pipeline so. all those words about just extract is also really based on lost revenue no i don't think anyone thinks in

those storms again this is. the policies that whatever comes from russia is bad and we have to cut the old possible ties with russia and keep standing was our back towards russia so instead of using go jogging or fear as our one over may nice that we were doing country but no one is as they can that paper and just didn't go collating what would that mean to our economy. this is not an issue today an old those who know something about gas prices they realize that the gas from the united states imported from from america will be much much more expensive what would that do to our economy no one know what these things about we want to please america and that's it so one of the baltic states in tallahassee if sat that russia

and that's a quote highly likely to intervene in the european parliamentary elections in may how fair is it to accuse russia out of meddling before the elections have even taken place those who claims as do they have any proof i mean how can how they have a very unsavory election. no no no i mean about about elections in america. and just old this old this is just continuation of demonize ation over russia whatever whatever is going to happen in russia will be blamed. when will it stop i don't know how to stop it i don't know and so this is just you know i'm i'm mad. over this because. this is so unfair and this is

not politically wise to aggravate the situation which is not yet been aggravated even if russia wants to do that it will do it. russia has these capabilities is just if you are afraid go to moscow and talk to a potence say look please don't those we want to make business was you we want to improve relations but stop demonizing russians so you will be very sorry if they turn into demons then will scream so one of russia's alleged subversion weapons in the run up to the elections are of course the dreaded fake news and the e.u. is cracking down on those but there are reports that some mia states make no distinction between fighting fake news and fighting here or skeptics and does that mean that fake nations basically any news that you don't like i don't know it

depends on who is a reading or listening to these news. you can you can believe in fake news and you can be very skeptical about all you. this is full of the go life politicians have always been faking the troops in all times in. all centuries so. it's just your personal. problem you believe or you don't believe this is so you've been saying that you've been ostracized by the lapland political circle after your meeting with vladimir putin in two thousand and two and over your frequent visits to russia judging by your own experience how risque is this today for a hero pm politician to express a view with that is not anti russian i'm not even saying pro russian but not

anti-christian i mean why do people could do this immediately become political outcasts. well i again i think this is a lack of understanding russia is not an ideological scarecrow russia is a real neighbor with whom we'll have to leave always being in nato you or wherever and it's in our interest to go to russia to talk to russians and to understand them and talk to them and tell them what we are doing what we are afraid of and started normalizing relations i would i would ask. politicians. ok we could have a plan on paper what we once to rush russia to do to improve relations and russia has its own shopping list so let's start with your shopping list and let's start improving go relations because what will we do if you breaks up ok now we

saying ok we have come on. european foreign policy which is not to paula said all so what will happen then and i think irrespective of our membership our diplomats have to have to improve dialogue and understanding between the russians and us there is no was a way pete we will always be neighbors and plus you mentioned before we have around half a million russians living here but that should be kept in mind as well all that and also the fact that lapierre has lost about twenty percent of its population after joining me here a painting and for settlers as so much focus given to they were russian threat when they say could be the last actual undoing. you know this is existential problem why. why people leave. it's not

a political issue it's an economic one because our economy lacks serious investments and. all were. investment a lot is not so investment friendly as it should be lance a slow ways for improving our infrastructure and of course now when they are no borders people are free to go wherever they're paid better for they work they do so but this is as i said the beginnings this is an existential truce because when we became independent in ninety one we have more than two million two point five million inhabitants and once it. scarcely two million and all these demographic figures or are.

called to say they are very serious and scary. all right thank you very much for this insight and for your interview we really appreciate you being on our show while we're talking to you as your kind is latvia's former foreign minister discussing the functions between russia and the baltic states and here playing politics that's it for this edition of stuffing costs. seventy. seven thousand pilings. to join judges. and eight hundred sixty nonstop days of. a

russian w.b. a champion. and a russian mob stuff. show you how. long the crimean bridge was built. witnessed the construction moving you need to transport. that will help the heart of crimea the cost of most all those you know what google for more snow yep it abuts. the braggs it saga continues a deeply divided british house of commons can only seem to agree on one thing it doesn't want the u.k. to leave the e.u. without a deal the problem is there isn't a parliamentary majority on what to do next maybe this was to resumes play and all along breaks again. this

is this is a stick from a water bottle phone in the stomach of a fish the brand is part of the coca-cola company which sells millions of bottles of soda every day the idea was that let's tell consumers there are the bad was there the litter box are throwing us away industry should be blamed for all this waste the company has long promised to reuse the plastic. special projects funding. on the. phone now the mountains of waste only grow higher.
