a "bric" wall that is. there's growing evidence that economic growth is slowing in virtually every part of the globe, even the world's fastest growing economies. the term "bric" was coined a decade ago to refer to brazil, russia, india and china. but if you were to rank the countries by economic importance, the order would be reversed. >> china's been the engine of global growth a very, very long time. and, now because of its deceleration, it's becoming the drag on global growth, if you will. and that's part of the maturation process. >> reporter: but, for now, at least, it doesn't look like the chinese economy is headed for a hard landing. in 2010, china's growth was over 10%. last year it was 9.2%. this year, the i.m.f. expects it to fall to 8%. but that's still a lot better than what's expected in the u.s. next year. >> i'm predicting 2% to 2.5% g.d.p. growth, nothing wild. probably a bit lower than the last 30 year average, but not that far below. the last 30 year average is 2.7% to 2.8%. >> reporter: a

[music playing] bridging resources in communities, bric, is the acronym. we, as the name implies, we bridge resources in communities with a prevention focus. our primary role is to partner with great organizations like the far southeast family strengthening collaborative. the mission of the far southeast family strengthening collaborative is to be a catalyst for the ward 8 community, really helping the community coalesce around issues of families and children and the issues that they deal with. i think that anytime there is an issue within the family, the entire family is impacted. whether it is mental health, substance abuse, hiv, whatever it is. if one family member is impacted, then it impacts the entire family. family really is anybody that you can rely on. any resource that you have at your disposal to build your own strengths. you do have to look at the whole picture because if you're constantly just focusing on the children or the youth and not their parents or other caregivers, then when they go home there's going to be a disconnect. and if you hav

why i like the brics.f all if you talk about the opportunity coming out of big ben qe 3 capital flows you are not at the peak people usually buy emerging markets after a ton of money was piled in. in brazil president is going after legacy parts of the economy that were less competitive. you will see concessions taken away from some of the biggest state players. i want to play it czz. this is a distribution play of fuel. we talk about china back to our apple conversation. china mobile 700 million subscribers just getting to convert their legacy back bone to a place where they can begin to take on the iphone 5. if we talk about one-third conversion this is a major event. i don't see hl here. russia raised rates last week and letting the currency flow freely. we know where oil is going and what it is doing. if you want to buy on margin russia is your best market. if you want to play it and don't have much exposure we talk about it here. they are the google of russia. they are the most dominant player in russi

. >> let's put this in the context of the other brics. order they doing that brazil is not doing? >> there is the example of china, for example. people think shanghai has done with very well. those other emerging economies are growing a lot based on productivity. brazil has been growing by employing more people but now unemployment is very low. the only way we can grow further in the future is by improving our productivity. in order to do that we have to introduce new innovation and technology. the only way to do that is having a more qualified work force. >> i want to put to use something one economist said to me, which is that you can account for brazil's growth rate recently with one word, that is china. is that sustainable? >> that is not really sustainable in the long run. china will continue to grow at this rate. in order to grow, brazil has to do something on their own. we have to do our own homework. that is investing in the quality of education, improving our systems. the productivity has been stagnant. >> i want to put a different point of view to you. i have been here a

not not very soon as this is their crackdown on corruption will bring back some confidence in most brics citizens to the ability of governments to deal with care and problems i see most of the plants are on from that part of the grout government to deal with the problem with increased taxation on people who are actually paying taxes lot is a wage earner and that has been the most of the most of the year in tax reforms made in place i think they will also raise taxes on the professional classes that means not source lawyers etc but the very big problem of legitimate florence or reduce taxation for big business for example for the sitting industry in greece will remain in place narrower problem with public revenues in greece has much more to do with the recession around with than with actually. brits beleaguered deputy prime minister faces a tough crowd this weekend his own angry party it's the liberal democrats annual gathering and they're not at all happy at getting voter vitriol of tearing up the pledges and easily submitting to the conservatives in the coalition government nick clegg t

famously made by that finance minister that's when brazil's economy was growing very rapidly all of the brics economies work and now we've seen more of a global slowdown where some of those economies that were driving global growth have slowed down a bit so what happens in kind of a currency war two point zero where are those countries try to fire back against the liquidity that's being put into the system by developed economies what is it round to look like maybe they get into the system as well you know india is slowing down they still have pretty high inflation the last that i saw was seven point seven percent brazil slowing as we were talking about china's slowing all these countries are slowing so maybe they'll do exactly the same thing and to a certain degree they can go with school more so than the developed economies because they don't have the huge debt burdens that the developed. they have all down when they had austerity programs back in the i.m.f. day europe is dealing with so they don't have the same debt overhang but with the consequences be greater this time because there is le

growing economies of the world are increasing linking up i mean they formalized politically with the bric nations has gone from a marketing an acronym to actually a political organization the change in politics starting from about two thousand and four going up to putin's famous speech in two thousand and seven where he called the west to account and said. turn our back on you and i think this conference actually marks the point where they begin to turn their back they're talking about increasing trade the russians with asia five. america is only talking about trade with russia sense of the seeds of the deputy and so clearly building what putin has been calling. union has gone to the top of the russian policy agenda and that's russia asia led by china of course and that's where all the effort is going. to be absent from the summit in vladivostok was barack obama with the u.s. presidential election race and for heat he opted to stay on the campaign trail at home and it's paying off with recent polls putting a bomb a slightly ahead of his republican rival mitt romney there was reports when
