Created an incredibly cool is eve and Sustainable Growth model in the country they became the most competitive country demotes to know that if come to eat the most technologically and digital country in the European Union they created an enormous number of jobs quality jobs and at the same time they have integrated two hundred fifty thousand migrants they have the highest ratio between migrants and not eve citizens in the ward i mean of course sweden is well its a very small country i mean comparably to other countries i mean eight to ten million not eve city since amy and they have integrated not only welcome because you know its not only a matter of welcoming people and putting them in attempts i mean seen in several countries i mean the problem is that first you have to create the economic environment to to integrate them and then you have to put in place policies for integration that means languages there. Teaching that means providing good jobs i mean that corp with the skills that these people with improving their skills if needed i mean and then created also a societal environment that is really helpful i mean not to create tensions but on the contrary to create an amalgam i mean some kind of no. Also cool to integration if you want to go there with an economic and social integration all these the swedish model shows that this is not impossible the reason ill tear not even we are not not no more we should not be any longer aiming in this stop the stock in this thread. As they call it i mean there is no alternative alternative is possible. Time now for a quick break well have more with the general secretary in that interview in a moment plus alex mahela which will tell us what canadian Prime Minister will be doing here in davos but first now lets check the numbers at the closing bell. Days ago the u. S. Secretary of Defense James Mattis updated in revised americas Global Defense strategy it is a dark vision of the world and calls for a massive defense spending what he calls a Defense Strategy critics say is a blueprint for without it. Heres what people have been saying about redacted in the sixtys pull on. The only show i go out of my way to find you know what it is that really packs a punch. Yeah it is the john oliver of r t america is doing the same we are apparently better than blue. Sea people youve never heard of love went back to the night im president of the world bank they. Were. Seriously sent us an email. Yes i was but the police work for the. Campaign the last election i believe will do more to well most of the young and we will all soon will but you know one of the up and will push it out so i. Can continue. To move into the middle of the scouts more we leave that to cops believe. He should resign you to judge. You will know the young much. The procedure to the. In which you can you get other cool news but when you. Told me most of the original post. Canadian Prime MinisterJustin Trudeau delivered a keynote speech at the davos conference striking at any quality as a major factor for global on rest and i heard old to Economic Growth arties alex model of edge has a more and toronto. At a second appearance at the devils forum Prime MinisterJustin Trudeau made a keynote speech he started off by talking about t p p and how its alive and well without the United States of america they are countries that are involved in it right now should be signing off on march the eighth to push over or push forward with that deal for issues that he thought were really pertinent dabbles eighty i and technology really took the helm he was talking about how technology is replacing workers and how countries and institutions corporations really need to address that fact because another issue pops up inequality inequality he says is a dangerous thing thats going on in the world right now weve seen the numbers weve seen that one percent of people on this planet hold about over eighty percent of the wealth and he says that is dangerous that corporations need to do their bit to stem that and to basically make sure that workers are getting what they are due on top of that he was saying that womens rights this is a big deal when it comes to Prime Minister trudeau have to be front and center for the canadian economy a load he said if the gender gap is less and the canadian economy could add one hundred fifty billion dollars to to it by two thousand and twenty six one point seventy five trillion for the u. S. G. D. P. And two point five trillion dollar boost for china if they do the same thing so some big numbers here on the sideline street will be talking to Business People from alibaba cocacola alphabet Big Companies and he will also be talking by having bilateral meter meetings with a lot of World Leaders back to you. Want to get back to davos switzerland for the second part of barts energy with the general secretary of the european trading in confederation lets go thats unclear. And in that regard you know in the in the u. S. Weve sort of taken a different approach is im sure you know just had a recent tax bill in the the theory behind that is you give tax breaks to corporations and then they will trickle down to the rest of the population and provide better income but youre really saying that its different when you talk about sweden and in the e. U. Youre talking about investing in people both social job retraining cetera and then that will work its way up. Exactly you know flat tax or reducing taxation in general is not the way to increase wages i mean also because then people who are left to pay for any kind of social protection they need to bring their life including a pension systems etc so at the end is a fake wage increase aiming and. The water column in general but particularly then the capacity of the state to to continue investing in the economy and to continue performing in terms of social Protection Systems so that we look to a completely different and alternative model we dont want to decrease to decrease taxes we want to increase wages we want increasing vestment this is the point i mean mr general secretary how do you make this case particularly given you know there are these austerity measures in germany and other places around the e. U. Where does all these belt tightening going on i mean how do you make the case to legislators in the e. U. And other places where you have members now that this really is the way to go forward yeah there are two elements and one is for migration in particular you know there was no austerity at all about migration policy in the European Union in the last two three years on the contrary i mean they were peon unions to do shows they put billion euros of disposal of the different Member States and to welcome migrants to work on refugees and to integrate them into labor markets etc and paradoxically. We had a completely mixed situation a mixed reactions on the one side you had full count race two of them very rich germany and sweden that welcome a lot of people more than one Million People in total and then you have other two who are i will say the d. C. Tell you my own country and then greece and they also welcome under a thousand people i mean also because they have the border of the European Union are exactly where the migrants have come in handy and all these countries where paid for that and yet resources i mean to make sure that the system was working and then all the other Member States of the european. The other twenty four more or less refused to work on any refugee and depart doxy is that the ones that were more vocal in refusing are refugees where the counter is where unemployment is lower and where there is more fiscal space to invest money for that i mean in the west denmark the netherlands even france theyre really beginning they refused to will come anybody on the east or you have poland slovakia Czech Republic countries where there is almost do unemployment on the contrary you have incredible brain drain because the wages are so law that all the young people leave the county to get somewhere else i mean to get a job a decent job and so they have on the contrary a problem or forget the liberal market they could feel for with very skilled i mean migrants and refugees but they refuse it simply for ideological reasons so this is one element is the money is there is not true the darn no resources to do it the problem is that politically speaking they dont want to do it then when it comes to the general problem of austerity again ok we faced almost a decade of cruel stary in the European Union does destroy jobs but also killed people actually really killed people because there were a lot of people going for suicide i mean because they couldnt get a job or because the their activities were destroyed i mean they were out of the society etc so terrible it was terrible of me but now the situation is light improving not only because there is some kind of growth palming is still not enough i mean especially in terms of job creation but particularly because the European Union institutions are changing their approach and they are really moving from the old facial neoliberal austerity to a different macroeconomic model and there is a lot of public money mobilized at the moment to to some new policies put in place by the European Union and particularly there are some initiatives i mean to say rebalance the. Comic dimension with a social dimension in the European Union a serious social a little faith Legal Initiatives i mean to or establish a ring full of the european disappeared european so its an old enemy that was more or less this month living during the crisis and the austerity policy so there is a chance probably this is the moment when we can really catch the momentum for changing i mean fourfold moving to a different model and can you tell me given the current scenario in the in the world and particularly here in davos were talking about dealing with a fragmented world is solidarity among those in the Labor Movement as important as its ever been given the current circumstances. Well you know theres been a trend in the last years to come back to the nation of naming sure i mean for fear mainly for lets say. Oh not to be able to influence of the International Decision in the globalized war dummy but you know this is not a solution in this globalized warding the globalized economy we need even more internationally of the of the of the of the Labor Movement than before i will say because you know even if we fix a problem the sweden i was mentioning before if you have around a completely different situation that creates dumping against the counties that are performing better in terms of inclusion and sustainability well in the long term they will be killed so its fundamental for the Labor Movement i think not only to be united but particularly to be really internationally to do to build up a new kind of International Solidarity that is not only about lets say showing solidarity or slogan so demonstrations is a bold Global Policy the capacity of evony of having an influence i mean on global Decision Makers to change it to change the situation and its not only about lets say you need to be between countries its also about unity among the different categories of workers because we dont have to forget that globalization and the crisis and austerity they have created two categories of workers the socalled insiders and the outsiders i mean the ones that are still a bit protected and theyre struggling to keep to keep their protection i mean and their rights and on the other side the others in the Digital Economy the platforms etc. With no rights at all and so we need to see to see how to make sure that we are not simply moving being side to the conditional of outsiders but the other the other way around let me mr general secretary or something that you may not know and theres no reason you should but i am a very small polit like you are a poet or youre pretty well renowned im just a financial. No it but one of your poems the walk really caught me and i thought it might be apropos i want to read just one line from it you say i arrange the landscape into an infinite walk and youve certainly arranged the labor landscape for us in our viewers but its really just not a short term thing this is an infinite walk for you isnt it exactly exactly you know the landscape changes older time and we need to change she told the time thats the sense of the kind of wool i may know that we continue aiming evolving and we never stop by me never stop fighting the stop struggling but another stop also trying to change things and to change the war the disease i think our mission if you want a sports but thats what the unionists the general secretary of the iti use see luka vincent teenie thank you so much for being with us. We have so much more from the World Economic forum in davos than right here in d. C. Including my interview with patrice on women making their mark and all of us but before we go here are some final words from commissioner bart shelter. Before we go the theme of davos this year is about creating a shared vision in what they call a fractured world and there are Many Political economic and social issues that we talked about today on the program and these are issues that people around the world do not agree upon there about our collective purpose around the planet and remains a pretty elusive goal to attain but that narrative that shared narrative is something that can actually make individual nations and the world a better place and thats what many people here in davos would like to see at the end of this week and thats what this Economic Forum is all about well get to more of it in the coming days but for now thats all the time we have with check out boom bust that you tube at youtube dot com slash boom bust our t. Catch you tomorrow. Heres what people have been saying about rejected in the sixtys full on austin the only show i go out of my way to lunch you know what it is that really packs a punch. Yampa is the john oliver of hearty americans do the same we have apparently better than flu vaccines but i see people you never heard of low taxes the night. President of the world bank so they can just write me seriously send us an email. With the lawmakers manufacture consent to still just public will. When the ruling class isnt protect themselves. When the final merry go round lifts only the one percent. We can all middle of the room signals. From the real news. Prescribe medication is widespread on the us market and a frequent cause of death at that point in my life. Like everything was ashes my family was literally coming unglued i had actually planned. To commit some sight was all who was made antidepressants so commonly used we were doing what the doctors told us to do we were being responsible and what the real side effects. Was is jealously alter what i did was done on a cocktail of legal drugs. Just because somethings legal doesnt mean its safe. To say this is harlan kentucky. To hold all of this move them poison it was very funny. A coma any city with almost no coal mines left. The jobs are gone all the coal miners of said id. Love to see these people as survivors of a world disappearing before their eyes. I remember thinking when i was younger that if anything ever happened to the coal mines here that it would become a ghost town but i never thought in a million years i would see that and its happening its happened. A lot. Was. The. Russians complicit in the assad regimes atrocities. Tempers fray at the United Nations as the u. S. Claims russia bears responsibility for Chemical Attacks in syria regardless of who carried them out also this hour. The u. S. Governments a chief says the scale of destruction in the syrian city of iraq is almost beyond description americas devastating Bombing Campaign against Islamic State that. Theres an outcry in the sporting world over the potential exclusion of a number of clean russia from the upcoming winter olympics. Its five oclock here in moscow and youre watching altie International Live from our studio with me in india today welcome to the program theres been a Fiery Exchange between russia and america at the United Nations over who is to blame for Chemical Attacks in syria and how they should be investigated moscow says in the future independent experts should be required to visit the sites of suspected incidents but that was rejected by the u. S. Russia is complicit in the assad regimes atrocities but you are acting as judge and prosecutor russia is running from the facts your behavior exposes your true motives russia has the audacity to lecture the Security Council this is a long political spectacle for not going to accept any russian proposal that undermines our ability to get to the truth we should at least have taken a look at the draft before rejecting it russia all on its own killed the mechanism we had specifically tasked to identify those responsible q what do you need an investigative mechanism for before an investigation you havent cues the Syrian Government of using chemical weapons. Came during a debate on how to tweak the system used to assess Chemical Attacks in syria the right is a meeting was held after the us secretary of state came to another attack took place in syria on monday he said russia should shoulder the blame for that and the other incidents were conducted the attack russia ultimately burrs responsibility for the victims in this and countless other syria targeted with chemical weapons since russia became involved in syria the problem is it hasnt even been confirmed that these attacks even happened let alone who is responsible and there are only two sources saying this and both are notoriously prorebel this whole blame russia game continued at the Security Council and it seemed to be hayleys statements were more about russia than anything else she even accused russia of killing the joint investigative mechanism but at the meeting russia said that the joint investigative mechanism became a Political Tool and called for an impartial investigation into all cases of chemical weapons use in syria including the joint investigative mechanisms new reports were not going to accept any russian proposal that undermines our ability to get to the truth or that politicizes what must be an independent and impartial investigation to nationalism. So the fact that the us dismissed a proposal right from the start reveals the truth that they do not need an impartial investigative mechanism so even though several other Member States supported the proposal of a new impartial investigation the us rejected it saying that its ready to bring back the old joint investigative mechanism quote but all other suggestions are unacceptable. So we are a current reporting that well the mechanism she mentioned was established in twenty fifteen by the un Security Council along with the organization for the prohibition of chemical weapons together they drew up several reports accusing the Syrian Government of carrying out Chemical Attacks and included one of the deadliest in consequence in april last year however i suppose did not actually visit the site before reaching their conclusions the mandate for the joint teams investigation has now expired and moscow requests changes should be made particularly that site visit should be part of any future investigation so that samples can be taken directly and also underlined the importance of importance of i witness accounts which have been heavily relied upon in the past by the un extolling from these serious Solidarity Movement points out that the timing of the new chemical attack allegations comes right ahead of expected peace talks were seeing that in the past day or two before geneva but negotiations would start there would be so flame up an atrocity and that again is what were seeing happen happen here so its really sad the the it looks like theres a possibility of ending the conflict in syria but evidently there are some forces that just want to prolong it and keep it going its really sad just one five zero point its pretty stunning hypocrisy here moralizing from the United States which have actually just the only cant use Nuclear Weapons and World War Two it used. Massive amounts of chemical weapons. And in vietnam and massive amounts of you directly i mean iraq still the country that used chemical weapons to the greatest extent. Among all countries it is in no position to be more allies. Where the Rex Tillerson blaming moscow for Chemical Attacks in syria our Senior Correspondent said what responsibility washington and washington should take for its involvement in the conflict the end justifies that means they say some things no matter how horrible just have to be done before hardcore fighters they have to be rooted out this is an ugly business but it is necessary business its only after when the dust settles and you see what youve done that you start having second thoughts this is when you say damn what did i just do. The devastation goes back as far as you can see it is almost beyond description how deep the damage is as many as a thousand strikes a month on record alone just strikes not including. Tanks and all that more than eighty percent of the city was deemed unfit to even by the u. N. A city hall but raised so lets start with the obvious incredible work has to be done just to get people back into their homes except we wont pay here is the disclaimer stabilisation not reconstruction the us will help fix the pipes but someone else is going to have to sort out the rest of this mess no sir the Coalition Freed you you do the rest we humanity ariens including the u. N. Do not have access to iraq a city because of the presence of explosive hazard contamination which is endangering people trying to return to iraq a city and its also endangering humanitarian access over two hundred people have died while trying to return to their homes and hundreds more have been injured from our understanding of the reports that we have only a limited number of neighborhoods in iraq a city have been cleared for returns and thats mainly in the outskirts. So who is going to pay to rebuild an entire city the guys who helped push through it say they wont the civilians returning from tents in refugee camps the Syrian Government which doesnt even control rocker who. Were going to discuss this further now with our fifth and hes a political analyst and member of the baath party in damascus welcome to the program afi. Lets start with the liberation of iraq when it was announced and it was estimated at around eighty percent of the city was and habitable can you explain what the situation is there now. Well first of all this moment is a situation is still. As it is going on. Kurdish armed organizations which are backed directly from us there there is a big tension. In that area. Simply. Controlling everything there in order to devote. Our to have more. On the political table actually and to have also a pressure on the. Syrian government and also yeah so this is a situation that doesnt change at all this moment actually but there is a big tension. According to turkish intention intention to invade. The. Groups yeah i mean mention the tensions there are faith but the u. S. Theyve stated plans to fix what electricity infrastructure. And you were paid and how much have they done so far have they done enough. So far and do you think its been useful that theyve got these plans. Your state that didnt come to to syria to make peace wrecked and now its completely destroyed as a whole city is destroyed completely now and its on the ground there is nothing to to do to to have there is no or no even a few people because a large numbers of people were killed by the. Us attacking by air and also other terrorist organizations like ice and also tibet anscar so what we can expect about the future of the us they didnt come through to make peace actually they are still just in this moment usa is controlling and. Playing the game. According to its interests actually gardley. The human
