without my garfield id, i left havana in 1981 and went to zurich, switzerland, thanks to james joyce. my dancing there became walking through the silence of the city. instead of people looking at me like my family did when i was a child, people began to ask me, where are you from? i felt disoriented, exiled. the changing perception of nature, religious views, philosophical and political opinions, botanical knowledge and idiomatic sounds, everything new. i asked myself many times for a specific reason why my irish family went to cuba and began searching for missing pieces of my irish history in irish, cuban, and catalan archives to discover before me that i had a fascinating history of displacement and transformations in various geographic setings. my book, ticket it ride, is a personal journey towards the past and the present. there is no one but many places i belong to: havana, dublin, mahon, barcelona, and since the lay 80's, the bay area. so thank you very much. . >> i'm going to do this in about 5 parts. i hope you will bear with me. first of all, i want to thank cross roads for i

so they can go anywhere in the world they don't need to be in london or paris or frankfurt or even zurich for that matter they can go anywhere and do their business because most business is done online so or on a telephone or can be done abroad so i think the reality is something practical to impose is very difficult but surely you can understand that happen ok or just tell me the second point i want to come back to you on the people's outrage of tom well it well is that this is then it's the point the charts are made which is that then people pay themselves huge salaries up front so there isn't a bonus system and so you'll find people will game the system they will pay themselves options or capital instead of cash bonuses which will have the sort of same impact as a bonus i think what we need to deal with which is the real problem which was the risk element in people understanding risk within the banks in dealing with that rather than dealing with the rewards if people you know make a lot of money for their business so if they're going to start you want to actually get it to our hala so

so they can go anywhere in the world they don't need to be in london or paris or frankfurt or even zurich for that matter they can go anywhere and do their business because most business is done online or on a telephone or can be done abroad city of london is a hugely important center for us in terms of our expertise it contributes a huge amount to the extract and if we damage that by trying to penalize those who actually you know do do a good job within their banking institutions we're going to drive that business away i do not want to see the business driven away and a lot of this decision making is being done by those countries that do not have as large a financial center as we've got. deep delve into the finances of the e.u. and elsewhere across the world that's in the latest edition of artie's cause report is a preview of the program coming up later this hour. why are stock brokers on drugs why did stockbrokers start so much cocaine why do the brokers and bankers at j.p. morgan and government saxon barclays royal bank of scotland why are they sniff their weight and coke every morning

carolin roth is in zurich with more. carolin, how much of a setback potentially is this for the big banking industry there in switzerland? >> well, it remains to be seen. we don't know when that law will go into effect right thou. they were talking about 2014. it could be watered down, it could be delayed. we may be looking at an entry date of around 2014. apart from that, spoken to a number of experts this morning and they say no, it's not going to be hitting switzerland's competitiveness. the fundamentals are still in play. you're talking a low tax rate and is stage policy. >> it's too early to say what the effect will be, but what surprised people is just how clear the vote oak really was. 68% of the swit voters voting in favor of that proposal and keep in mind that these are going to be some of the strictest rules on executive pay in the world. and if they're not being adhered to, some of the managers responsible could be facing up to three years in prison. so i think in large part, this is also down to what we saw h

in zurich. lou: another element of this that is disgusting. this is 2013.ces to have just testified on capitol hill about their budgets being cut, the supreme court justices, worrying about federal courts losing more money, 5% rollback because of the sequestered. five years tget this trial. from talking about this trial. i mean, the idea. this is -- this is nuts. in this country where you're supposed to have a right to a speedy trial. >> we are so backed up in the core system. i can tell you. amen the courthouse every day. we are so backed up in the court system because of all the cuts. there are so many criminals. lou: because of the cuts? we are spending a fortune. >> you have no idea. the budget cuts, the state budget cuts. the state budget cuts have affected the courthouse so drastically that the court houses are so backed out that what is going to happen? you know, justice kennedy, the supreme court justice is concerned. i see white. you start cutting finces. everything breaks down. then you have. lou: isn't it already broken? >> obviously it is broken

researchers from university of zurich track half million people for more than 10 years and found eatinged meat significantly raises the risk of cancer, heart disease and even premature death. researchers say you have a 44 percent greater chance of dying early if you eat a lot of processed meat. so how much bacon and sausage can you eat without getting cancer. well according to researchers they say that if everyone ate no more than point 7 ounce of meat a day, 3 percent of premature death could be avoided. point 07 ounces of meat is about a strip of bacon, sauce annual the size of maybe a baby carrot or so and thin slice of ham or fifth of a burger. so not a grit deal of meat. >> well who need a gun when you are armed with a piping hot cup of coffee, right. that's the only thing a dunkin' donut employee in west haven, connecticut needed to prevent robbery while manning the drive through window. he tried to climb through the window and rob the place. employee threw a steaming cup of hot coffee in his face. robber jumped back in the car and he just sped off. >> more to come tonight on 7 ne

as i said to the average heterosexual mel, i can't get -- you can get married if you have kids got zurich, they're not a legitimate and the families and not venture except this and the government is not trying to give you health benefits. if you're an immigrant you cannot stay in the country. that those things apply. when you're growing up on car -- i'm sure when you're growing up or any heterosexual person grows up, you follow the people. you get creches, fumbled through adolescence, go on dates. is so much a part of people's lives and what they think about us. it's absolutely essential. a society is presenting all of these messages. this is important. to you of your life. he's been here live with is probably the most important thing in your life. and the government says to me and to anybody else's case, none of that is possible for human error after enough. those feelings are having are discussing. you will never be able to marry the person in love and we will never accept. and when you are 12 or 13 and you're told that and you know who you are and i think -- i rate to almost 0413 euros

. >> when i left goldman sachs to go to zurich they gave me a button that said when you leave new yorkthere's a story just crossing the wire saying it is amending its agreement with berkshire hath away. it did come with warrants. warrants that he could exercise. he would be exercising that agreement. but this is changed to that agreement. buffett is quoted saying we intend to hold a significant investment in goldman sachs. i did my first transaction 50 years ago. they have a they're pleased they plan to keep them as long-term investors. the right to purchase 43 shares of common stocks. at that exercise price of $115 until october 1st of 2013. under this they're going to be changing it. they will be delivering to berkshire the number equal in value to the difference between the average closing price over 10 days preceding october 1st, 2013 and the exercise price of 115 multiplied by the number of common stock of the warrant. >> so not buying all the shares. he's buying whatever profit he has. >> in shares. >> with g.e. he had an unbelievable difficult deposited. does he have 10%? >> the

our carolyn roth is live in zurich with details on that.if enacted, these will be some of the toughest curbs on executive pay in the world. but let me just walk you through the details. some 68% of the voters voted in favor of the proposal, which basically forces swiss companies to give shareholders a say in executive pay. now, it also means an outright ban on golden handshakes and some of these massive signing bonuses. and carl, get this. if the managers don't comply with these rules, they could be facing up to three years in prison. yeah, you heard me right. the outcome of the vote, that's interesting, was surprisingly clear, and it certainly reflects the growing anger over the fact that here in switzerland, ceos get some of the highest salaries in the world, and they also get these massive bonuses. just remember the recent public outcry over that $78 million golden handshake for novartis's outgoing chairman which was later con selled. pro-business lobbies are concerned about the impact this will have on swiss competitiveness and whether

there any part of you that as a representative for the city sees these measures going into play in zurichhat the city might benefit from on the margin as a result? >> well, so we have seen it both ways, right. when some of the financial industry reforms as proposed by president obama and ultimately passed, there were all sorts of threats that banks and financial companies would leave new york city for other destinations, well we're now seeing the same kinds of frustrations in other parts of the world. now in europe, that echo some of the public sentiment and frustration we have here in america. i think this is a global phenomenon that we'll continue to see more of. at the end of the day, i believe it will create stronger corporate governance, better alignment between top executives and the people they work for, namely the investors and shareholders and create greater overall wealth. >> yeah. that is certainly the goal we're all after. john, thanks so much for coming to the phone. good to talk to you again. >> always a pleasure. >> john liu, comptroller of new york city. >>> stick with cnb
