eastern and western europe use the the convergence has been minimal with respect to the u.s. in particular as a leader. in this context of other countries for them to grow in the decade seems to do that because of market penetration. china does not have the luxury. they're becoming large. for them to keep growing i don't know but for them to keep growing for ever they have to do it domestically but they don't have said the business-- to supplant in terms of quality and efficiency so they may revert to those that may have experienced to a certain level and then you may stagnate. >> is a distinct possibility. this is a treacherous passage to describe accurately the key components. they will go up the value added chain in them market sector regardless of what portion of the chain is big enough, that is what is inefficient to drive growth. now has to come from the domestic economy and aggregate demand that has to be the right mix of consumption and investment and it will guide the evolution of the supply-side much more prominently thin what happens when the domestic market does n

and people have said over the years that you can't have democracy in front of central europe or eastern europe because of the slavs or the greek orthodox no car can do it and the catholics are let in america can't do it and the spaniards can't do it you know it's always a good excuse. to choose the other model which is equally part of world heritage you know and you have to make a choice not to change gears here you have to find go to you there's loggerheads now in the united nations security council on how to move forward in dealing with yemen in and syria do you think that is a direct result of the botched job in libya in a really should the international community be so involved because when it got really involved in libya it turned into a quagmire. right it turned into a quagmire because no clear set of objectives were defined at the outset of the mission libya's is a dictatorship that hinges almost exclusively. fee and the minute that you leave the head of the monster so to speak in place then you haven't solved the situation so i think you know in retrospect they should have either not g

than the capital of a relatively small country, but the city remains the cultural capital of eastern europe, with a keenly developed knack for good living. you can enjoy that hungarian joy of life at the széchenyi baths. soak with the locals. of the city's two dozen or so traditional mineral baths, this is the most accessible and fun. budapest is hot, literally. it sits on a thin crust over thermal springs, which power all these baths. both the ancient romans and ottoman turks enjoyed these same mineral springs. they still say, "poke a hole in the ground anywhere in hungary, and you'll find hot water." magyars of all shapes and sizes squeeze themselves into tiny swimsuits and strut their stuff. babushkas float blissfully in the warm water. the speedo-clad old boys club gathers pensively around soggy chessboards. and the circle of rapids brings out the kid in people of all ages. after 2,000 years of experience and innovation, locals have honed the art of enjoying their thermal hot springs. budapest straddles the danube river. on the west side is hilly buda, dominated by castle hill. the roya

disastrous foreign policy towards a wrong mr hurst thank you so much for sitting down with us eastern europe just a geisha is the united states wrong to assume the worst when it comes to iran if the fear is based on the notion that you know that some our iran has a bomb or is going to get a bomb soon that's ridiculous because if you could have evidence of it from their own intelligence community. the people who talk with the bird go but know there's no weapons there we've known that for years we've been looking for years there for years and years we support a sanctions program that's designed to stop the punishment is. aimed at stopping the arrhenius from doing something you know we know they're not doing for me and i wrote me earlier analogy between what they're doing what obama's doing with iran is very close to what bush and dick cheney the vice president of the iraq there is they wanted to punish they wanted to make a case against iraq they didn't like the problem critics. and so we made a case about nuclear weapons we were if you remember they were talking about mushroom clouds making a

flood well i mean i'm speaking to you today from poland i have a large number of operations in eastern europe and i really firmly believe that you must look east in order to avoid the crisis of the west and therefore to that degree i think there are great opportunities whether you're looking at russia whether you're looking at any of the other aspects of the new europe indeed you can of course go further afield a little i'm a little bit worried that places like india and china may be in the room bubbles but i believe firmly for those who want to have a good time to european lifestyle there are incredible opportunities that take place between basically east of the older river of the border with germany and poland and all the way across russia there is great opportunity to invest in in all manners of property in real estate in stocks in bonds these are places where often you don't find remotely the same structural difficulties in the economy that you're getting in the united states of america or indeed many of the other western european countries we have seen here fredricka if the u.s. does go

our country is that they don't particularly know anything about our stance south america asia eastern europe. that i mean absolutely and this is so that's the point that i brought up with. the governor of carstens as you know is what you also have going on is tim geithner openly supporting the guard and it looks like the u.s. is ready to cut a deal with the euro will give you look start look gart you let us keep on to that deputy managing director number two position it's going to be vacated or that's the . term ends in august so they want to hang on to that number two position so i think that's exactly what you'll see you'll see a. european in a little guard at the helm and you'll see another american at the number two spot which means you can expect the same shenanigans on the part of the i.m.f. going forward and that's just as history as surveyor pain has always held that position and you think it's a bit more of the same that was raj as she founder and president of the capital thanks for being on the show. now drones in many ways have become the symbol of america's undisclosed wars killi

for countries that they don't particularly know anything about first hand south america asia eastern europe do you think. i mean absolutely and this is go that's the point that i brought up with . the governor of course this is you know what you also have going on is tim geithner openly supporting the guard and it looks like the u.s. is ready to cut a deal with the euro rogue if you look sharp look articulated deputy managing director number two position it's going to be or that job which he is term ends in august so they want to hang on to that number two position so i think that's exactly what you'll see you'll see zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero from european and look at the helm and you'll see another american at the number two spot which means you can expect the same shenanigans on the part of the i.m.f. going forward and that's just as history as serving your pain has always held up position and you think is going to be more of the same that was rajkot she founder and president capital thanks for being on the show now drones are som

eastern and western europe d.c. in these countries converging minimum with respect to the u.s., particularly as a leader? in this context, other countries have been able to grow in the last, they have been able to do it because of market penetration. there's more economies because they are small. china doesn't have that luxury. they are becoming large. for them to keep growing, i don't know but it seems difficult to keep going forever as a share of work great so they have to do it domestically. where they will then have the discipline that foreign markets impose terms of quality, in terms of efficiency, all those things. so they may revert to write other countries have like latin america. get to a level and then you stagnate. i wonder what you think about that. >> it's a distinct possibility. this is a treacherous path you describe actually. the key components of the, especially for big countries. so they will go up the value-added chain in the export sector but their marketshare regardless of what portion there and

the low pressure across eastern europe, that will on it weaken, had stronger storms yesterday but we have a cold front working in from the west and temperatures have been extremely warm and really nice weather through parts of western europe. people are getting spoiled. temperatures in the upper 20s, mid to upper 30s, parts of spain as well as into france, temperatures extremely warm. well, i have some photos for you. it's going to show you how people are dealing with this. charles, you know i'm a big fan of the heat. you can see people trying to cool off, tourists through southern spain where temperatures climb into the mid to upper thirtsz. we have more images as well, people being smart putting on the hat. this one is one of my favorites right here, just lounging right by the eiffel tower, soaking their feet, enjoying the water, hey, if you're going to be in paris, it's sizzling hot, get outside and enjoy the sunshine, and for today, temperatures once again hot, it's going to be the last day for paris, a high today of 32 degrees. 38 madrid and for my friends in london like charles,

moves people to overcome their fears and openly confront dictators such as in east germany and eastern europeurtain that divided the world into two blocs. it is to this resolved that we germans owe the unity of our country in peace and freedom. also today, the yearning for freedom may well make totalitarian regimes of trimble and fall. we have followed with great interest and into the profound changes in north africa and in the arab world. freedom is indivisible. each and every one has the same right to freedom, be it in north africa, myanmar, or iran. still, the struggle for freedom is demanding for too many sacrifices and climbing far too many victims. soldiers, policemen, and the many volunteers who try to help, i am about to all those who risked their lives for the cause of freedom. this year marks the 10th anniversary of the horrible a tax of 9/11. over the past 10 years, we have stepped up significantly our joint fight against terror and for freedom in many ways. we see that living in freedom and defending freedom are two sides of the same coin. for the precious gift of freedom does not

there were over 500,000 soviet forces deployed in eastern europe arrayed against nato. and nato's forces were designed to deter and defend against an attack in europe. now when the cold war came to an end, for many europeans, that existential threat came to an end. and when we think about afghanistan, we americans think about afghanistan as the place where we were attacked by al qaeda. and so it had very special relevance in terms of their americans thinking about its security. noose not the case in europe. in the special case of germany. the germans don't believe, given their special history, that military force is necessarily awe solution to every problem. and i'm amad, just to tell you the truth, that there are 45,000 european troops fighting in afghanistan, and some of those are germans. the idea of german forces being deployed outside of europe 20 years ago would have been politically unthinkable. >> warner: so very briefly, the other major pount he made that the u.s. political conscious-- consensus for defending europe, for supporting nato, could disappear in comin
