russia is the clear leader. so, when you think about who than a fitted from this -- who benefited from the commodity boom over the last decade, it was really also the population, to a large extent. that is something that is clearly an achievement that needs to be acknowledged. -- yes, inys argue good times, it is easy, but what do you do when times turn more difficult, like now? the price ofep your social contract in tact? or, how do you adjust and change it so you don't increase policy dramatically and also inequality dramatically? a very well functioning social safety net that is evident from these outcomes, and we had improvements in the quality. -- equality. \ the question is now, what policies do you chse going allard to try to not have of these achievements reversed within a short period of time, and address still remaining inequalities? for instance, regional inequality is quite high. regions have high poverty and are more comparable to low income countries. we have regions with very low poverty. the, aga

the other by russia. the third one by the countries in between who are represented by two participants on the panel ukraine and georgia. i would like to say that the institutions should follow the problems. therefore, the panel of eminent persons in this work on the final report has been focused on the origin and depth of the crisis in european security. there is no shortage of contact, including higher level meetings. there is an urgent meeting to find a way to rebuild trust and confidence. the proposed recommendations, although modest, i would like to say the proposed recommendations, although they are modest in fact are adequate for the challenges. as the common project should be -- the search for european security as a common project should be less oriented to the rhetoricck kurt -- than to technicalities at the core of matters. fact,oblems, in originated within the states and not between them. not between the west and russia, but within the west and within russia. what has to be done? in general, the

genuine diplomatic process with russia, russia remains a great power. needs to be treated with respect. it needs to be in a position of power. russia played a very constructive role. and we need to build on that. we need to build on that with a clear vision of what is wrong and what doesn't work. at the same time, if we shut down the diplomatic engageme in. t, if we just focus on one element which is important, too, the military strength and all that is key. but the diplomatic side is the other half. let me just stress a point. this is important. and the tendency at times to do so bilaterally with russia, which we are seeing in the ukraine track at the moment, maybe sending the wrong signal. and one is there is nothing that russia would like more than to have, if there is a negotiation to have a negotiation with the united states about europe. and my view is that is not in the united states' interest. europe needs to be in that process. and we can find out what the diplomatic niceties are and a condominium, something that looked like a condominium on pa

fresh allegations of statewide doping hit russia. the kremlin slams accusations as slander by a defector. time now for a business update. i'm joined by a votto desousa. another warning against a brexit. on thursday was the bank of england, today it's the imf's turn. christine lagarde says if britain were to leave the eu, it would lead to a sudden drop in investment in key sectors of the economy. she adds it would make britain's high current account deficit even worse. negotiations on new arrangements would be european union and other trading partners could, in our view, take years. leading to a protracted time of uncertainty, and the longer this uncertainty goes on, the more heavily in the way on investment and growth. a vote to depart the eu would be costly in the long run. even after this uncertainty has been resolved. in the short term, there is also a risk of adverse market reaction to a leave vote. losing its status as the world's most viable company. stock is fallen from 13% in the last two weeks after reported its first ever f

it would be a pity if with russia whatever misgivings one may have with this or that action of russia, if we are not able to develop a real, genuine, diplomatic process with russia. russia remains a great power and needs to be treated with respect. it needs to be engaged. in a number of circumstances, it has been a power. sometimes less than one would want, but it has been. on the iran side, there is no question russia has played a constructive role. we need to build on that with a very clear vision of what is wrong. what doesn't work. at the same time, if we shut down the diplomatic side of engagement. if we just focus on one element, which is important, too, military strength and deterrence, but the diplomatic side is the other half. at the moment, i believe it is underdeveloped. >> let me stress a point if i can that barbara made. how the united states engages is as important as if it engages. the tendency at times to do so bilaterally with russia, which we are seeing in the ukraine track at the moment, may be sending the wrong signal in two ways. there is nothing that russia would

the russia, the whole thing i think senator donnelly talked to you about the russia flyover. would our ships r, were we in the right to shoot down if we desired to do so with their aggression. >> sir, not knowing the complete circumstances, i really can't answer that this morning. >> so, as far as the justification that we could have taken action, i know turkey's taken action on russia before and i think russia understands turkey would continue to take action, but i think there's a concern that we won't and they were wanting to see how far we would go and i'm not advocating that we should have shot the plane down, but i understood stood that secretary kerry described it as a wreck laz act and wasn't wrong in saying the u.s. ship would have been justified to shoot down the russian plane. >> yes, sir, i just don't have that detailed information to make that call. but i would say that it's absolutely reckless. it's unfus justifies and very dangerous. when you've got our operations going on as well was the case. >> do you see russia pushing the envelo envelope? are they pushing t

in russia. >> yes, that's certainly correct. it is something that started to happen before the crisis. we see that kind of pattern that investors are sitting on the fence already since 2012. we saw that the large state driven, quasi state investment started to finish off and private investment not coming in to drive investment growth. the prices, oil price shock over the last year, we saw, of course, these new investors are facing, a lot of uncertainty of what will be the domestic demand in the country, very little willingness to take what we think is really an opportunity for russian now to produce more on the market because households cannot afford imports that they could before. really to become an exporter in manufacturing goods, which they could not because partly the effect of the dutch -- oil exporting countries led to exchange rate that dominated the impact of the oil sector in terms of the structure of the economy. >> so the picture you've drawn -- i'm going to come back to it, about the run up to the current situation.

this is an interesting story for russia. we spend most of the report digging into this kind of data and trying to find out what is happeni happening. is the structure of the economy changing on their new firms in the tradeable sector that should have a relative price advantage, emerging more than before, are more firms becoming exporters. when we look at it in terms is the tradeable sector taking advantage and producing more. usually you have to produce before you can export. you see every on the left increasing, positive still but did see overall manufacturing contracted strongly. this is counter-intuitive at first that it takes time for firms to adjust to this new reality. first move from new growth sectors to the ones that are growth sectors anymore. first look at data, for instance, investment growth or employment growth, they could tell you which sectors are now able to pull more of these facto factors. when we look at sectors, there are a few on the right that have sizable investment growth. these could be new growth s

russia calls the move a provocation and threat. as a result, media in moscow say vladimir putin is deploying two new divisions in the west and another in the south to counter nato. >> would putin looks west, it's an individual country. eric of the baltic news service has long been covering these chess moves and says it is more dangerous than just a staring contest. the concern is that russia might miscalculate and try to give nato a blow here because nato's eastern wing is not so well protected. the reason why we welcome increased allied presence here. critics say russia has already pushed too many literal boundaries, like in syria were under the guise of defending against isis, putin is really defending his out and american enemy bishara al-assad. he touted military success in syria, claiming russian warplanes have flown more than 10,000 combat missions since the air campaign began on september beend claims they have able to drive militants from 500 towns and villages. a veteran war correspondent spent years inside syria and spoke

it was all about the ukraine-russia narrative. russia had been the favorite for months. ukraine, the singer was a crimean tar tar ander great grandmother was one of the victims who lost a child on the long march out of crimea. people have said the song is very much a slight against russia because it speaks about this dark period of the past but jamala, the singer has said no, this isn't political, it's personal. if you want to call it political, it's down to you. not me. interestingly, the ukrainian, the ceo of ukrainian television said prior to the contest if russia won, ukraine would withdraw last year. incredibly heated. it's a huge slight against russia for russians. people are taking it very personally. >> i love it that russia is singing a very sexy song about loving a woman and ukraine has got this deep historical message. justin timer ber -- timberlake was there. what about the dichotomy? >> russia is chose a perform er who wears pik leather pants. it's almost saying we can do camp too. mainly our laws aren't as draconian as you think. then you have ukraine, obvi

again, we need to demonstrate to russia that we don't allow russia to decide whether or not there are u.s. troops in places like pop land andro mania and latvian and if we cede that territory to russia, we get to the second big accountive of putin to break the united states away from the alliance. and we need to put our troops there. and this is a long- term bad deal for russia because their economy is not strong. this will cost them and same strategy to bring down the wall. >> there is an editorial by michelle obama calling on companies to hire veterans. give them an opportunity to 90ed a mission at home. it is an important way to fulfill our obligation to serve them as well as they have served this country. your thoughts? >> it is it a terrific article. and hits the ball on the number of companies. j, morgan and goldman sach ises. it makes since to hire a vet. they are resilient and think of the courage and determination and true grit to stand in combat. and they are innovators and they have to be. they face challenge and circumstances all of the time. and vets are very loyal. and s

or china's -- russia's or china's nuclear deterrence. as recognized by generations of responsible policy-makers, constructing missile defenses aimed at russia or china would be self-defeating and destabilizing, dramatically expanding our missile defenses could cause russia and china to fear that the united states seeks to protect ourselves from retaliation from russia or china so that we can carry out a preventive nuclear attack on china or on russia. that plays into the most militariries stick people inside of those countries who will then say that they, too, need to make additional investments. and that cycle of offense and defense continues to escalate until you reach a point where we are back to where we all started, with those generals, with those arms contractors then dictating what our foreign policy is, what our defense policy is, and they were wrong in the 1950's, 1960's, 1970's, 1980's, and they are wrong today. that is just the wrong way toasmght we have to ensure that we are back in a way -- backing away, not increasing the l
