define russia's presidency of the g. twenty where the most important global economies work in unison to solve the world's most demanding economic challenges or will it be an exercise in kicking the can down the road with each country guarding national interest and why should the emerging market world really take notice of the g seven. to discuss this and more i'm joined by chris weaver he's a senior partner with macro advisory we also have jacob now he is the chief economist with morgan stanley and we're also joined by what it's so part on our low he is the c.e.o. of nestle russia and eurasia all right gentlemen let's start out with the can as we usually do with this program the condition of the russian economy chris where do we stand right now we are. standing still or we paddle in water or. standing still there will actually be a pick up in the economic indicators for the second half of this year we had a weak first half and you're looking across the board macro numbers. pick up in the second half because of the base e

came close to hard war not just cold war russia georgia began with no doubt about that russia reacted by moving in the south has said it began the fight with the georgian army that was in effect an american proxy army we created that on the we armed it we trained it we were american the minders the military advisors somewhere in georgia maybe traveling with the georgian troops there was a discussion in the white house led by dick cheney that the united states should bomb the russian army in the south or study. really hold our georgian army there on the ground because no one really wants to wage a war with russia that's another example that's another example that is however that russia would never really i mean you would need ever. well i don't know about that so far i mean where is that written that we would never go to war we became we were extremely close in the cuban missile crisis we were extremely close in berlin on a number of occasions there are probably occasions we haven't been told about and in my judgment we were close in georgia in two thousand and eight no fault of russia

here in russia so what has changed since then. oh pretty much it looks like pretty much everything. is initial. question the statements that were made he would seek political asylum in russia were met with a reasonably frosty response i would say from. the from the clinton administration from the presidential administration if you remember. at that stage it's that we could seek political asylum but. very specific conditions under which you could do that and that was to cease leaking the information that has so terribly damaged the nexus between the national security agency in the u.s. and what we know social media or the companies through which we tend to mediate our lives like skype and facebook etc. i guess. i don't imagine the russian position has changed i don't imagine. position has changed i said there were some tweets in the last few minutes to the fact. of putin's. press actually had said that russia's position as far as its own snowden's asylum hasn't changed so that's not confirmed it was just a tweet to that effect so.

in syria will bring peace to the middle east russia should agree the problem is russia doesn't agree russia is different civilization the bad precedent was set. i don't like to criticize your leaders because they're your problems by yeltsin who agreed almost everything and so washington got in the habit of getting what it wanted but even in boston mcfaul has said on several several occasions during the reset which he claims to invented we are going to negotiate with moscow and see what they can do to promote our national interests funny but that's one hand clapping a real negotiation real diplomacy is not bad it is that we go to moscow and say here are our interests will you help us and then moscow says we might hear our interest will you help us and then they do something for each other washington doesn't do anything i would defy anybody who thinks i'm being unpatriotic to tell me one major concession. that moscow has received for more from washington since the end of the soviet union just one and when i asked this question at all gust meeting places of the american establishment i

currencies in latin american currencies much less so in russia russia's been relatively you know a haven emerging are currencies but elsewhere it's been a great deal of volatility and they're pointing the finger to the fed they're pointing to the e.c.b. saying you're doing what suits you without taking into account you know the effect on us and i think there's you know i would like to overstate it anyway but but you know you can definitely see that there is there are some kind of let's have a. eating amongst ourselves to see what our strategy is at the g twenty rather than being part of it so i don't that's it was right out of time gentlemen many thanks my guests and thanks to our viewers for watching us here on on the money see you next time and state of art. do we speak your language or not a day of. school music programs and documentaries in spanish what matters to you breaking news a little turn to tip angles kidneys stories. you hear. that all teach spanish find out more visit eye to eye dog all t. dogs comb. thanks. please play. the blame. breaking news here on our t.v. fresh viole

in syria will bring peace to the middle east russia should agree the problem is russia doesn't agree russia is different civilization the bad precedent was set i don't like to criticize your leaders because they're your problems by your own person who agreed almost everything and so washington got in the habit of getting what it wanted. but even in boston or mcfaul has said on several several occasions during the reset which he claims to invented we are going to go she ate with moscow and see what they can do to promote our national interest fine but that's one hand clapping a real negotiation real diplomacy is not bad it is that we go to moscow and say here are our interests will you help us and then moscow says we might hear our interest will you help us and then they do something for each other washington doesn't do anything i would defy anybody who thinks i'm being unpatriotic to tell me one major concession that moscow has received from want from washington since the end of the soviet union just one and when i asked this question at all gust meeting places of the american establ

over edward snowden including russia by the way and russia just from the from the very beginning moscow made it clear that they were not happy to receive so and they were surprised by that and that they would. rather see him leave the country as soon as possible but we would he chose to stay because all the other routes were cut are for him he even had to agree to the condition put forward by president putin that he would not harm the u.s. while in russia but at the same time president putin made it clear and that's a quote for him from him he said russia's not going to extradite eighty one so washington should not expect that because he said no one extradite anyone to us remember russian officials point to twenty extradition requests in the past ten years which the u.s. never acted upon. can now get to more reaction on the snowden saga by speaking to the leader of the u.k. power apology laws. snowden says he wants to stay in russia on the condition that he will not now do any more harmful leaks for which could affect the u.s. so what sort of message is he sending to whistle blows in ef

us to snowden's fresh request for political asylum in russia. i think they'll try to put the pressure on putin i think they will put diplomatic pressure or they will raise all sorts of intimidation but i think ultimately they'll have to accept it and i think we missed the snowden it's understood would have great difficulties flying out of russia because i think the. you know when you bring russia on their way to venezuela or some of those place of refuge would be prohibited i think there's no doubt that the u.s. may try to intercept a flight which so i think as a result of what's left of the stone to avoid jail and possibly harsh interrogation such as confront manning and some of the other whistleblowers i think. severe penalties and run the risk of flying out i think his decision is a practical one seek asylum in russia and i think good greenwald probably the most important documents revealing u.s. spy spying and interference in other countries relations is already touched a ceiling and i think he's whatever questions were to be raised he's rai

he's waiting for a piece of paper now we know that he's applied for temporary asylum in russia. are considering whether to. when they make that decision he will be given a piece of paper a temporary visa if you like that will help him to enter russia properly now it was widely expected that today was going to be the day that he was going to get his hands on that piece of paper but basically the paperwork still hasn't been processed in the federal migration service still haven't decided whether they're going to process his application or not by his legal representative anatoly did arrive. at around four o'clock this afternoon and he was carrying a bag and the world's press was watching and waiting with anticipation expecting him to hand that piece of paper over to edward snowden which would then allow edward snowden to a much however it transpires that in the was in fact just some books by russian office and a fresh change of clothes not the piece of paper edward snowden still stuck in transit at the moment now in terms of the actual process from here once he does get his hands o

and russia you also have the legal barrier for extradition is between russia and the u.s. will aid. no treaty between the countries be russia does not exclude i to countries where someone could face the death penalty and under the charges that snowden faces he may the political and see the last reason would be. the political reasoning behind it snowden obviously is not it carries he hasn't won he is in children he one of the men sincerely believes that his government has been doing what his government has been doing is wrong and illegal and that the american public should know about it so that they're able to put pressure on politicians on legislators how can the public opposed something that he knows nothing about what also speaks to his possible status of a political refugee is that fifty five percent of americans see him as a whistleblower and not a traitor and that's despite this cat and mouse style coverage in the media as snowden was seeking asylum in all these different countries it was easier to portray him as a traitor because in that context the conversation is not about s

do people in russia. we started to reduce taxes on financial transactions on savings on division and that for the inflow of crypto stuff that in two thousand and ten because it's a pretty good station then money started to go back last year and this year because of flow of capital and this sort of maybe it after cyprus we can make the case that the russian banking system is one of the safest and we make that case i think so i think russian banks have a better capital position than many banks and in europe in the united states right now. explain well basically russian banks were much more conservative. as in most banks in the war. our company is. always saying that it's really difficult to get loans get credit. interest rates very high but that is one side of the story for brinks. that means that. they're not putting money in the risk of transactions and for people who save money in the russian banks. picture brights and banks are not to. the point that's money but when we talk about offshore it's who look

russia has fallen over the view of safe places for himself dmitri and just. for your information we're getting reports that actually advert snowden did say that he was scared that he wouldn't be able to get to latin america safely because of the latest incident with the believe in president's plane actually and is it is he likely to to get it's i mean the political asylum here in russia what we've heard there the terms of president putin i think these are very legitimate demands that we're going to have made you know on the same demands were made for example i may need when he lived in france that he should not get involved in particular. nor damage the interest of. the wants of what in huge with the damage i called the interest of our american partners so if snowden agrees you will be doomed. if i can be a door bell live in russia by probably it will be about before he is security. if he is given asylum how well this affect relations between russia and the us. well i don't think that it will have a positive effect because there american elite has sort of far

for results that maybe russia can actually. be transferred into a better financial tradition for for the money for the not being held in europe or the united states interested to. be more convenient for brinks or investment companies or for people to. be put in russian. we started to reduce taxes on financial transactions on savings in. the poor inflow of crypto stuff that in two thousand and ten to be pretty much teachin then money started to go back last year and this year because of flow of capital and this sort of maybe it after cyprus we cannot make the case that the russian banking system is one of the safest and we make that case i think so i think russian banks have better capital position than many banks and in europe in united states right now we explain well basically russian banks were much more conservative than most banks in the war. our company is. always saying that it's very difficult to get loans get credit. interest rates very high but that is one side of the story for brinks. that means that. they're not put

according to russia's federal service of state statistics russia's economy grew by one point nine percent in the second quarter of the year this is an improvement from the one point six percent growth it posted in the first quarter but still well below the best case scenario of three percent despite the slowdown that aggression and other brics countries continue to drive the world economy in a recent survey the world bank revealed that russia has overtaken germany as the fifth largest economy in terms of purchasing power parity and russia's brics peer china is in second place nonetheless global economy impacts the emerging world and its prospects what's happened in the last five to ten years there's been a huge investment in new supply of energy in the supply of commodities and what we thought of the moment is it's not china slowdown is the problem i think is europe collapses zero percent growth in europe and buying anything but not buying cars they're not driving around as much and as a consequence china's slowing yes but but europe's just stops out of the same time to be more supply of

challenge to russia so why the u.s. would admit such a thing isn't clear there are voices of course within the u.s. administration who are very much against. an escalation of the war general dempsey and others so it could be coming from those sources. think it's too difficult it's too early to say. israel's previous has said it has been get some weapons from syria that's a red line for the. east bank why they could have carried out this latest attack. well. i think that the reason they carried it back is because the rebels are losing i mean the foreign terrorists the foreign mercenaries they're losing the debacle into israel i think giving them a helping hand. the last attack remember in may was against a military training center in damascus i was very frightened because the syrians have had to retrain soldiers since the start of this war in order to be able to deal with the non conventional warfare techniques being used against them so again targeting military and scientific training centers is part of this really stra

about russia for the next three months until such time as the immigration services decides whether or not he can stay in russia for the next year on temporary asylum it's also been reported that anatoly katrina and advisor to snowden during his time here in russia was spotted at the federal migration services office today and he is indeed on his way from his offices here to share metro airport so we are all on standby it's a been a long wait all day long a lot of us were sure that this documentation was good going to come through today all indications pointed that it was going to happen and definitely from the police presence and all of the extra security being brought into this airport right now it does appear as if edward snowden the n.s.a. leaker is going to be coming out of the airport for the first time in the last month this place he's called home here in moscow and possibly stepped foot on on russian soil for the first time. all right lindsey well i bet there are a lot of journalists there keeping your watch and thank you for bringing us this update and will be crossing back to

reiterated that snowden could stay in russia if he stops all activities causing damage to russia's american partners also added that if this condition is fulfilled there should be no hindrance to him getting a refuge if the oscar for it in self well let's discuss the latest twist in the snowden saga with investigative journalist dave lindorff he joins us live now from the u.s. snowden really is pushing this now as a human rights issue could he actually face the death penalty do you think if he does get caught or returned to the u.s. . i would be dubious about the death penalty just because. well it's a shame we look as an inch and in your last story the sentiment supporting snowden is quite. a signal units are the majority of people. that fortunately we have not only losing the picture your phrasing that but also we're losing the sound i'll just ask one more question and we'll just give it one more go . what do you think we'll let reaction though be from washington the fact that snowden has applied for freshness on him from moscow what could be the political reaction then let's give this a
