Rising to 114 in september verses the reuters poll and were looking at conditions holding pretty steady. This is important with the german ifo because the index may have increased in the month of december but this is before the volkswagen cheating allegations came to light and also the migrant crisis explosion so this isnt really indicative of recent events that were seeing but checking in on the euro 112 levels versus the u. S. Dollar. Still below that 114 we saw just a few weeks ago. Also want to bring you the norwegian Interest Rate decision. Cutting its key rate to 0. 75 from 1 . The crown falling on the back of that Interest Rate cut. Its a very very close call going into that decision. The norwegian Economic Growth is likely to remain low for longer. Once again hitting a four week low of 9 45 per euro after cutting the Interest Rate by 25 basis points. They talk about the breleaker economic aspects. Well talk more about that later on. Interesting divergence. Some are tightening a
Country, campaign. All we did in russia, you know, its me and my friends and colleagues is what you demonstrate that the political system built by Vladimir Putin did not allow anybody outside of the system to participate in the democratic process. Host Garry Kasparov, i want to get your reaction to this piece of video that were going to show from 2001. Youll recognize what it is. Ill answer the question. I looked the man in the eye, i found him to be very straightforward and trustworthy. We had a very good dialogue. I was able to get a sense of his soul, a man deeply committed to his country and the best interests of his country. And i appreciated so very much the frank be dialogue. There was no kind of diplomatic chitchat trying to throw each other off balance. There was a straightforward dialogue. And thats the beginning of a very constructive relationship. I wouldnt have invited him to my ranch if i didnt trust him. [laughter] host Garry Kasparov. Guest huge [inaudible] for kgb. You
Ladies and gentlemen, thank you all for coming. Im a visiting fellow at the American Enterprise institute and a columnist at the washington examiner, and i think that youve seen erupt around the country especially this last year a discussion on criminal Justice Reform on over criminalization and all sorts of things we will focus on a specific aspect of that. My thoughts on why i picked this i have libertarian leanings and justice and mercy need to play up. I dont think we will get into a question of are we locking up all the millions of people that we lock up makes our country safer that is a tricky question to debate. Once we put people in prison, are we doing anything to help them or just burning lives. When you having prison sentences that serves a deterrent effect so it serves some good. It keeps criminals off the streets theres some good there. We call these correctional facilities. Are they just making things worse . So given the debate for some extent of criminalization although
Resume the work against many residents. A powerful earthquake that rocked northern afghanistan left more than 300 dead and 1800 injuries across south asia. U. S. Commanders sent a warship into waters claimed by beijing in the South China Sea. The vessels sailed within 12 nautical miles of artificial islands built by china. The diplomatic sources say a u. S. Navy destroyer entered water near the manmade islands in the spratly chain. Its claimed by china, vietnam, malaysia, and taiwan. International law says nations can declare up to 12 nautical miles from their coast as sompb territories, but does not apply to artificial islands. They say they are challenging claims over the territory. Officials in washington have not officially confirmed they sent a ship. They have stressed their commitment to freedom of navigation. The president , actually, when he was next to the president in the rose garden indicated that the United States was, you know, would operate, fly, or sail anywhere the Inte
Of failure. Of course the reality is the reverse. The more you post about failure. In one of the chapters i attended a conference, and one of the speakers there was a young man who boasted now he is the ceo of the work, the darling of Silicon Valley. But in his speech he boasted about being sued by record label for a quarter of a billion dollars is he had a company that legitimized. So the cult of failure is really one of the most irritating aspects. You have people like tim oreilly, very wellknown publisher. But the real truth is they are the winners. The real failure is people who dont have jobs, people who are not employed, people who are underemployed and can get in the college. They dont go around. Do you ever say you are a failure . I think this is one of the reasons why Silicon Valley is so profoundly out of touch with the rest of the world because it is the one sector and the American Economy that is doing well, the one sector driving innovation and change. When you have a cult
