tavis: a posco to finland. you do a pretty wonderful deconstruction of what is happening in finland and how we compare to finland and what we can do to replicate. >> finland is a country that i think is interesting to look at. i and 20 or 30 years ago, finland was not doing nearly as well as is -- as it is doing now. the winter when face of reform that looks pretty similar to what our country is doing now. because they have come so far it is different from what the u.s. is doing also lots of people say, we should do what finland is doing but they are in a different place in their growth. we have to look at what they did when they were not doing so well and how they got out of that and the three things they did was they had a heavy focus on teachers and teacher quality. they knew that was the most important in school factor that could deal with. the second thing is they had very clear and rigorous curriculum. standardized curriculum that everyone was focused on and all kids were expected to learn. the third was

finland and sweden are all in the top five. look at corruption.d states ranks 19th in the transparency international new index. denmark and finland are rated the cleanest countries. you can spot two trends. on the one hand, america has been losing its edge, but i'm also struck by the rise of scandinavia, include denmark, norway, sweden and if you broaden that definition, finland and iceland. each of the countries seem to dominate global ranking lists. why? what is their secret sauce? scandinavia is actually much more free market oriented than people realize. capital is allocated by the market. the government doesn't own companies. corruption is nonexistent. companies can hire and fire easily, labor moves around. but, these countries do tax a lot and spend a lot on education, child care, health and other things. now, a recent mit paper suggests that there are limits to this model. it's called "can't we all be more like scandinavians." we linked to the paper on cnn.com/fareed. in brief, it points out how the scandinavian welfare system provides a nu

most dramatic and well-known illustration of this have to do with other mathematicians and those in finland and washington dc who broke the enigma and other access codes. the public bracket is hardly a household name in a small group of british and american scientists. it really turned the tide in the battle against the u-boats are not so well known at all. but there is contribution that is every bit as vital. not only in winning one of the most crucial battles in the war, but also for its lasting consequences in revolutionizing the way that military commanders think about it. in revolutionizing the way that quantitative analysis can be applied to a host of tactical problems in the business world and operational research or operations research. it is their story that i tried to tell. it was the one threat that churchville wanted to use to bring britain to its knees. britain understand it on imports not only for oil, but just to stay alive. by the start of 1941, they had already reduced imports below the 31 million tons a year to maintain essential food supplies for the civilian population.

who profess to be a democrat but he's really i mean small to democrat he's really a dictator and finland is a small democracy a social democracy or at a social state it's a very very different the one thing they have in common in singapore and in denmark teachers are paid the same as doctors and it's hard to become a teacher as it is to become a physician. right once you know why it's hard to become a teacher these days is because the unions have a stranglehold on all of us you can't. so there's no jobs to be had now it's harder to school it's harder it's going to get republican governor of late the market is the market value and the market value is not very high these are not brilliant people so you don't think oh i know how to market i really and people they really are imperial you easiest job you could possibly do if you think anybody in a room with children i get summers off you have to leave at three you don't bring any work home with you now i can see as you obviously don't do so think this is welfare for mediocre college graduates so what you're suggesting is that our children are

south of europe in the north of europe in particular i'm thinking about germany the netherlands and finland there are very strong political voices saying we do not want to go on bailing out southern european countries and bear in mind that cyprus is now the fifth country out of the seventeen that's needed to be bowed out and that is why the germans extracted the terms that they did but i must say even in my diaries predictions in this parliament over the years about the way the e.u. bosses were behaving never did i think that they would in a completely unprecedented manner resort to stealing money from people's bank account well it's because only you can. afford cyprus to fail kernot look at that look at the jitters that have already happened over the over what's going on the last couple of days. well they can't afford to fail a car for greece to fail portugal spain they know that once one country goes the whole deck of cards will come tumbling down and countries like germany will realise absolutely vast losses possibly as much as one trillion euros so so they are prepared now to do anythin

because germany and finland have made it very clear that they don't want an open-ended bailout of cyprusmore support from the outside, cyprus has one of two choices. it would rather hit big depositors, russians that put money in the cypriot banks big time and that could cause a real capital flight or it will have to take the very unpalatable decision to let the bank go. >> i read who you have in berlin, one of the great assets of "the financial times" is there any point on having a reality check in what is going here and what the germans are asking them to raise in cyprus is little more than 5 billion euros and isn't berlin like a dog with a bone on this idea of sacrifice even if they could blow up part of the eurozone system? >> exactly. the kind of money we're talking about is actually not that big in terms of the amount of money needed to bail out cyprus. my favorite half-joking solution would be to turn cyprus into a giant club med, give german pension vouchers paid for with public money to go and spend in cyprus and deal with the imbalances in the eurozone, if you like, but more ser

like trade school trade school degrees in electrical engineering or things that are useful like in finland colleges' fault? should they offer those programs? >> i think there's fault on both sides, and i think it always comes down to the individual. you look at the colleges raking in record profits, not necessarily profits, but they are raking in money, new student and enrollment. they dent have to change. look at the individual for the student, and, also, the parents and teachers that push their kid to get a four-year degree. there was a study released in colorado that when people get a two-year degree or professional degree, they earn more in ten years than somebody with a four year liberal arts degree. if you are an electrical engineer or plumber, that's admiral profession that reciprocates in value in 10 20 years. no matter what happens, we need cars fixeded, lek -- electricians, and there's going to be a shortage in 20 years. >> the federal government provided loans to a point where they ran up the price of tuition so much so far that you can't afford it anymore? you get out of colleg

from finland to the united arab emirates where new plants are being built or designed today. >> in the japan, as its currency continues to weaken, it's reliance on importing oil is a real problem for them. so it's almost a case of can we afford to go without? >> i think if they can conclude that they can meet the safety tests from a public policy point of view, that that is by far their best way of addressing their energy equation. and so i think if all these things happen, you're going to have the market for nuclear improve. that's going to translate into the materials that support that market. >> i was just going to say, what does it mean for uranium and what are the materials projected? >> the uranium market has been hit by two price shocks, the fukushima disaster, but i think it's ready to surge, frankly, if these events that we've talked about, china, japan and so on happen, it also is going to get a boost because for many years, the united states has purchased most of its uranium for the plants used in the united states from the russians under an agreement that was entered into a

you're not in finland, you're not if poland. all the trouble is -- >> beautiful places, joe. >> that's good. that's really good. and then when i said -- >> i do frequently say to myself thank goodness this isn't happening in azurbashaun. >> you have to get there. you're doing it for us and we really appreciate it. >> wait, wait. if this country does leave the euro, we want to see that. we want to document that. >> no, i was just saying because it's not affecting our markets doesn't mean that you shouldn't be there. and we're glad that you are there. >> right. >> be glad it's like 80 and sunny. because it's not here. and you know why it's so cold here. >> you did this to me earlier this morning. i fell into your trap already once. >> you did. you know why it's 26 degrees here today. >> global warming. >> right. >>> in corporate news, today is the end of dell's 45-day go shop period. michael dell will find out if other bidders think his company is worth more than he does. dell and silver lake announced a $24.4 billion buyout last

countries have had substantial increases in job growth after cutting spending: austria, denmark, finland, estonia, the netherlands, swed sweden. and this chart gives some of that insight. job gains after five years, after successful spend being reductions. look at these gains. japan in 1987, 8 n .6% growth. canada in 1997, 11% increase. the netherlands in 1997, 9.5% increase. the united states in 1997, after spending reductions, 5.2%. that's when we were on the path to balance the budget. that's when newt gingrich and the house republicans met with president clinton and negotiated and fought and wrestled and shut the government down and cut spending and the economy grew. and in sweden in 1998 at 6.5% growth. the average job growth over these five countries was 8% after cutting spending. but one i noticed on here is really something we should consider, and that's the small country of estonia which was part of the soviet union dominated by russia and the communists. they are a great little country on the baltics, and i was there two years ago. senator jon kyl took us there. and they had ju

ireland and iceland and finland, germany, france, student goes to school for free.e did this at a time when everyone else was busted and broke and bombed out. and that was really important and that is really the truman doctrine. but now 60 years later, you know, it's time and we can empower our allies by telling them, this is your responsibility. and we do not need to be pay four time what is other people r >> how many people do we have, let's start with germany, how many people do we have in germany, including big hospital base and everything like that and what's the cost? >> i don't know the specific cost in germany but, for example in japan, we have about 7,000 people permanently. we have 3,000 in germany, we have 3,000 in the uk. we have people spread all around the world. and those numbers may not sound that big but it's over decades and decades that end go up and they go down. and it's just too expensive. but also, i think that there is a fundamental mooral cost, psych inc., cost, financial cost. what made america great was not our military industrial complex

in finland, in 1990, they weren't number one in the world and they only had 47% of their kids in early the world. it's difficult for policymakers to make that decision, because they don't get a result in one or two years. if you're looking at what's best for students and the future of america, investment in early childhood is the way to go. >> i think it's really important that people understand. just like charter schools or choice or teacher eval pre-k, they are all part of a system that articulates at a high level. so investing in pre-k without fixing k-12 will waste the investment in pre-k. saying we're going to give every child in america pre-k is not the end of this discussion. >> i want to show viewers at home per pupil spending. we're getting more children enrolled but spending is decreasing in this country. the average state spending per child dropped to just over $4100 in 2011. in 2002, it was $4,866. you don't have to have a terminal degree in education to understand that things get more expensive. if in nine year you're spending less on something, you have to wonder if you'r

the 95-year-old from finland gets off to a strong start, right? but then keep looking but then here comes the youngster from belgium. >> slow and steady. >> sucking the air out. boom, boom, bam, there you go. yea! the two were competing at a race for vets. look at him, arm in the air, like a true champion. go, go, go! you can do it. don't give up! i love the socks. the other one s i feel someone behind me. it is over! 7:08, matt, savannah and al. >> love it. >> the tortoise and the hare right there. >> better than i am. >> that's impressive. thank you. >> mr. roker with a check of the weather. >> got a chilly start for our friend in the southeast. look at some of these temperatures. macon, georgia, is freezing right now. 32 degrees. 31 in columbia. wilmington 32 and bristol, tennessee at 24 degrees. the good news is we will get some moderation. out west, look at those temperatures, anywhere from 10 to 20 degrees above normal. eventually, those warm temperatures will make their way into the southeast and mid-atlantic state. do have some eastern lak
