when you want to lead a country. it's just a level to be positive to talk about the future to say what you're going to do a lot of people have and. you have to put the accent on the post of and you have to absolutely believe it with every fiber of your being so lesson well before the lesson either one of the national action so the lesson of one every national election and the way of thinking we're looking at the world we are approaching the people i'll take into the life and campaign and one of the things you have to believe is you have to believe you're going to win and you have to believe it with every fiber of your being because if you are to persuade people if you are to have a conversation about the future you have to do it from the basis that we're going to win this referendum and scotland will become an independent country. thank you very much for this great talk a great pleasure thank you you are watching sophie and co our guest today was alexander salmond thanks for watching and we'll see you in our next edit

brazil is a country that has found a path to develop in democracy. that's no easy feat. it's an important thing. i'm hopeful, what i see in brazil is people engage it in, changing loss and improving a system so it becomes truly more representative of people's aspirations as to the political system with the political system responding with producing concrete answers to real problems. that is what i see. i don't see -- if you put the representatives of different parties together in a room and give them 15 minutes to set the priorities right i think they come out in ten minutes with those answers. the question is that the political system has not -- much like other countries that we know where the political system does not allow for the solutions to be implemented. this is is the challenge now but again, i'm hopeful. >> rose: sounds like a country i know! >> i agree with paulo paulo. brazil had years of chinese rates of growth. but that was under a dictatorship. and if you ask brazilians -- >> rose: china or brazil? >> right. if you ask brazilians would you wrather have 11%

how much value do you produce in a particular country how much do you invoice in a particular country how many services do you sell in a particular country and second how much is each company affiliate in all the networks that they are all over the world charged by their mother company for the brand or for the technology that sucks in all those profits and then takes it to a low tech sure direction and therefore doesn't pay taxes to anybody anywhere in the world how do we avoid that so what you're really offering here is the proportionate system is that right. no that is one of the approaches the only problem is with technology your life becomes much more complicated because where is the residence or where is a source of i t ok it's in the ether it's floating around how do you deal with. high tech. you mentioned the googles you mention the. the starbucks appearance in the commons in the u.k. or in the congress of the united states which basically confirmed the fact that we're confronted with an enormous challenge of saying ok we created a problem ok now we have to solve it we have to

>> sure, oman in general is a beautiful country. would i recommend usually to people is they visit every part of oman. most of oman is very beautiful. it is very historical. you cannot go to a place in oman that is not historical. we have very attractive areas. it depends on what tourists are looking for, if they are looking for history we do have historic al sites. we have a lot of historic -- >> over 700? >> over 500. we do have a lot of attractive coastlines and shopping malls. it depends on what the tourists are looking for. if they are looking for adventures we do have a lot of mountains. that part can also be an attractive part of tourism for taiwanese investors to go. as you know oman is very attractive these days. we are expecting them to be one of the major tourist destinations in the future. we do provide a lot of opportunities for investors coming from abroad, whatever related to the tourism industry. we would like to invite the taiwanese people to go there and explore the possibility of investing in oman. this is the futu

service on windows a country which does not state a moment to bend to washington's order against our own interests all right let's talk about it's ok let's talk about i know that you're an expert on relations with the u.s. and various parts of latin america what does this then do for those relations because this couldn't have come out at a worse time for the u.s. when it's actually trying to increase its influence there in latin america of course this is. an international scandal as i said it will have very serious consequences to the river to the relations between latin american friends in the west because we all know that the order came from washington even leave the state department denied today that he has given this order what we don't understand is how come a country like france which discovered they go two days ago thanks to snowden to the united states was flying on us and then instead of ranting political as of them to this person we are ready to do or dies our relation to with a partner like bill leave you have to obey to the united states is it just not k

third country or in a fourth country or all over the world they're not going to pay taxes to their citizens because they have decided to come and do some booking here in my country this is a part that is wrong this is the part that we have to change fair enough let me cite some statistics here the effect of corporate tax rate stands at twenty nine percent in the united states twenty two percent in britain twenty seven percent in france and twenty four percent in germany now all these countries are the o.e.c.d. members and all are very eager to combat what they call tax evasion china which is not. member of the o.e.c.d. has a comparable tax rate of twenty five percent and this is their official corporate tax rate but china you don't hear china complain about tax evasion all that often because regardless of this very high tax rate china is capable of attracting. investment and businesses because of other factors and i think there is an argument to be made that when you attempt to zip code taxes to you any specific countries you know s

in a sunny country like cairo, like egypt, -- is a sunni country like egypt. shiites in pakistan are being slaughtered almost on a daily basis. the sectarianism is being fed by both, sunni radicals in shiite radicals. he never says he represents the shiites. the arab regimes in syria does not put it in those terms. they always invoked resistance. that is the new jargon that they use. resistance to israeli hegemony and syria as part of that axis of resistance to this kind of hegemony. it cannot be happy with what is taking place on the arab street. they cannot feel comfortable with the split between the shia and sunnis because it hurts their ambition. >> i was in iran in august and i had an interesting conversation with the speaker of the parliament and his national security adviser. iranians are very pragmatic. they also think they are farseeing. they believed the united states would come around and seek better relationships with iran because of a couple of factors. they see the tall bad as emerging in afghanistan as the u.s. withdraws. they think the united st

foreign policy is undermined and that then course infringes on national sovereignty and does leave a country to be be a colony of a greater political power which of course want contrary to democratic legitimacy. right robert oulds child the british were politically but it's called think tank rabbit hole thank you very much indeed for sharing your views that's thank you you thank. international consultant and author adrian so big she believes the case of snowden will lead to further tensions between the united states and to believe their thing that they have made a serious mistake because this is just one more example of the way things are going to be not only throughout america but throughout the world already where you have powerful haygood. disrespectful towards the national sovereignty of all countries bolivia has already the support of other countries that are also model line to united states like venezuela in a way argentina are probably brazil and definitely ecuador ecuador of that as well or about to consider giving asylum to mr snowden and then you have the other countries that are t

well i think there's a real danger that indeed the country could sink into a civil war you have already seen extreme violence you know displayed on the streets of on the streets of egypt not least of all because we are we're effectively witnessing the backlash against a military coup orchestrated against a democratically elected president so we have deeply entrenched camps already you know fighting these how out on the streets of egypt on the one hand you have the muslim brotherhood supporters who feel that they have been robbed of their democratic mandate and they are now persecuted by the military seeing there and see the supporters of the muslim brotherhood being rounded up of the president has been you know a deposed and jailed travel bans had been issued against the muslim brotherhood supporters and indeed the leadership the muslim brotherhood itself is threatened to be. an old or cancel as an organization military headquarters of the freedom and justice party has been shut down to the military have any choice millions were protesting against morsi ok that may not have done it righ

what defines a country's success. faceless figures of economic growth. for a factual standard of living. and. breaking news this hour an r.t. and asiana boeing triple seven airliner crashes on landing at san francisco international airport reportedly leaving at least two dead when this is claimed the tail broke off prior to touchdown before the plane burst into flames these a live pictures from the scene there at san francisco's international airport. another asylum invitation for n.s.a. leaker edward snowden as the president says he's ready to welcome the whistleblower if requested that softer the venezuelan leader offers him humanitarian asylum. deadly divide in egypt opponents and backers of ousted president morsi.

a country divided. rival protests remain on the streets of egypt to voice their pinions about the president. hi sh everyone. this is the world news from al jazeera. defending his right to leak surveillance secrets, now the whistle blower wants asylum in russia. 19 members of an elite fire fighting team are killed as fires blaze out of control in arizona. a bank's future may be in doubt. a special report on that coming p. it's ultimatum time in egypt. a 48-hour window issued by the military for the country's political parties to sort out their differences. if it doesn't work, the army said it will step in whilst denying plans of a planned coupe at the same time. tens of thousands of people returned to the streets to voice both their opposition and support for president morsi. thrill pretty strong numbers. perhaps starting to thin out a little bit as it is 2:00 a.m. there now in cairo. the rival camp. a pro morsey protests, ittle bit quieter there. still big numbers out all over the place in cairo against

moscow is often called a country within a country so whoever takes the rain here may have to be more than just a talented manager after years of practically nonexistent elections the russian capital braces itself for an unprecedented heated political battle and that campaign is gaining intensity with every day. reporting from moscow. and stay with us for prime interest that's next in our. i would rather ask questions for people in positions of power instead of speaking on their behalf and that's why you can find my show larry king now right here on r.t. question more. right on the scene. first street. and i think that you're. on our reporter's twitter. and instagram. to be in the know. on. good afternoon welcome to prime interest i bob english here in washington d.c. here are the stories we are telling today there's a sea change in the markets that is putting the squeeze on china and other emerging markets not necessarily intentionally that's because when ben finally pulls the plug as he's been signaling those markets get hit hardest we'll be talking about the rock and irish banks wi

country with him. but the president of venezuela suggested to reporters that was unlikely to happen. aost of other countries including spain, ireland, austria, germany, the netherlands, poland and switzerland said snowden would need to reach their soil to file for asylum. there's a catch 22. that seems unlikely. how will he get there? meanwhile russia made it clear there are preconditions for him to stay there in russia. david corn is washington bureau chief of mother jones magazine and jonathan capehart, both msnbc political analyst. jonathan, i want to start with you. it looks like russia is not mother russia when it comes to this guy. they set a condition saying sure you can stay here but you have to stop what you do for a living which is go to war electronically or digitally with the united states. no more leaks from the soil of russia. he has to neuterize himself to agree to stay there. so he has it turn out the lights it survive personally. >> right. when vladimir putin, when russian president putin said that, you know, in order to stay, snowden would have to do this, it was rath

leader flying over a latin american country they could have started a war that they would have immediately sent obama planes and troops to that country to save their president so we decided we should act accordingly what we wanted was to get these governments to apologize under shuras that they would never happen again you can't go on discriminating against countries if believing that international law result clickable to some and it's not a clickable at others you can divide countries into first class in a second class that's unacceptable this is a violation of every international agreement and every human rights just like this pervasive international lesbian are not only does wiretapping off phone calls and reading our letters go against ethics but it also blatantly infringes article twelve of the universal declaration of human rights which in trying to the right to privacy the right to be protests. to be against being spied on now the declaration certainly has different wording but i give you the general idea it's high time we started to respect all the countries in the world instead of

in that perspective, let's bear in mind our financial condition as a country. we have four consecutive trillion dollar deficit the worst deficits in the history of our country. we are now about to rush through the $17 trillion mark in total debt. we are not a country that can afford to stay on this path. we are not a country that can afford to allow into our nation immigrants who are going to be tax consumers rather than tax producers. when you have the pick of hundreds of millions of people around the world, we should be smart and we should have a smart immigration policy that brings in people who are going to be tax producers. not tax consumers. that's going to help us with our deficit situation, tep us with our accumulated debt, and hopefully reduce or minimize the risk of an american tradgity that tragedy being a debit dating insolvency and bankruptcy of our great nation system of in that veen, our foreign policy, our immigration policy should focus on those who are going to come here and produce more revenue then they're going to consume. i'm for allowing i

france into a bankrupt country with a rocketing unemployment rate with poverty that continues to rise and a real feeling of despair but with a culture that is collapsing it's important to talk about this in life it's not just the material aspect there's also a feeling of belonging to a people a desire to defend one's culture and identity and identity that is so respected across the world everywhere except by the french elite. says so. so you say friends would be much better off without the european union i said the latest survey and it's true that sixty percent of french people think that e.u. is heading in the wrong direction but only thirty four will vote for france's exit from the e.u. what do you read in this figures. to that point but. well first you need to understand that there is no debate in france defending the european union and the euro the single currency that was imposed on us almost feels like a binding religion it means there's no exchange of arguments and to be against the euro is a sort of blasphemy i'm asking for a referendum because s

come to school because i don't think that to islam is a monopoly over in a country. he. says. not a passenger train veered off the tracks a bit earlier in southern russia it left at least seventy people injured fifteen of been rushed to hospital with five children among the farmers been following the story for us. this accident happened just south of a town called rostov on don in southern russia we understand that eleven of the trains nineteen carriages would be royalty some of those overturned after the train driver decided to perform an emergency stop he has since told officials because he saw that the tracks in front of him were actually now we don't know the reason why that was but some people have speculated it might have been down to the heat wave that part of russia has been experiencing over the last week or temperatures in excess of thirty degrees other people are speculating that parts of the track may have been stolen but no doubt this will form part of any investigation although i can say that the russian interior ministry has ruled out a terrorist attack just six

having so much trouble getting to a country of refuge here is someone who has been found to have a valid fear of political persecution and we have the persecuting nation the u.s. leaning on those countries that have offered him asylum that's completely inappropriate and noxious for the persecutor to be leaning on countries that have offered him refuge to somehow expel him once he arrives or to disrupt his transit care it's just shameful and if he did somehow sneak out of the moscow airport and end up in a country where there is asylum offers it wouldn't be the first time i know there was a lot of questions circulating around julian assange and whether. or not he was going to try to sneak out of the ecuadorian embassy in london you know through direct trunk of a car or flew baggage or something like that so want to be the first time that something like that has happened but if he did i know that a lot of. questions around this case is that obviously the plane is going to have to refuel there are no really direct flights from moscow to any of these countries really so if it did refueling c

that assumes a person in a country is a property of everybody else in the country. which is a essential notion that no person who has any concept of individual freedom or liberal in the classic call sense could actually view. what we actually see is when the opportunity to immigrant to leave occur. they increase the education. they acquire more skills. in order to do better in the source -- in the country where they want to go to. a lot end up staying. we see it in south africa in nursing school. a lot of people try to immigrant to the u.s. or the u.k. a lot stay behind in south africa. we see it in the philippines. and what was mentioned the filipino nursing program. they have some of the highest percentage of the nurses of any country in the world because of the possibility to leave when they have that. as a result, the rest of the filipinos who are behind gain from that. it's a weird argument used by mostly restrictionist to say immigration is bad for people in poor countries when it's not true. >> turns to socialism in the united states. -- [inaudible] >> yes, si

a day this is. latin american countries a see the over the decision to ground and reportedly search a jet carrying believe in president over rumors whistleblower edward snowden was all board almost the entire continent is running to believe his cause. he has more on this. things are not looking so good for the diplomats european diplomats accredited in latin american countries some of them may actually be expelled in particular those working in believe the that will be more clear after the emergency summit of they want us to organization which unites most of the latin american countries which will be held on thursday some statements will be produced there but following this nightmare flight of ever more or less through europe last night we've seen an unprecedented solidarity from all that american countries on the matter they've all been very critical of what happened with the believing president now the president of argentina kristie that the commissioner said that this was the humiliation of the entire south american continent a joint statement coming from the colombian government stated that the airspa
