A citizen decides what i do was my money and where i send it government has no influence on that right so that tension that has been you know. Potentially this is. A way to weaken more little monitor of policy off of the states rate so basically you can say that were talking here about riddiford nation of social contract between government and people in a certain way right and this is just a first step parade because from decentralized money will go to decentralized wells and decentralized property and so on right decentralized identity right i den public ledgers where you can store your identity and its not government who is in charge shows that right so i think you know its its kind of fractioned world. On one side but Technology Wise its a supply will full underlying trend towards a decentralized society and its a good. One final quick question are you personally invested in crypto currencies. Actually today you should know should know they do and then you statements about it but i think that was one of the best decisions made all go felled by the Bitcoin Queen of switzerland and c. E. O. Of smart valor thank you so much for being with us thank you. This time now for a quick break but hang out with us because we want to finish out our week here at davos and here are the numbers at the closing bell. If i were a Public Opinion i would seek to house myself and all of my friends and my family of leaders at the local level to a National Level be arrested by israel what you need to do is hold a mirror up to the israeli people and say this is what youre creating this is the reality on the ground were not using violence we will not cooperate with the occupation anymore i plead with the Public Opinions we do to nonviolent struggle because if you use violence you will never get the support of the israelis or the world. So it was pretty good. Luck to you. In the last election the problem which was mostly young. We will all soon put you know one of the on the up in the bush about showing. Paper thank you for. The name you do to the. Scouts were you the blue coats we know its. Easy show reason to stay. You will know that. The secret of the armor issue you can you get other coolies but then you tell us and you can do it in this old reality most of the original post. So we really only hear of davos like once a year for the World Economic forum right but what happens to the town during the rest of the year what do they do there all year what does it have to do to get ready for the biggest economic meeting in the world lets go back now over to barcelo whos there in switzerland. For most of the year davos switzerland is a quiet town of under Twelve Thousand people as the highest town in europe of monks the swiss alps most of the winter is about snow and Winter Sports there is skiing and snowboarding and skating but the week before and the week of the World Economic forum this city shifts and tremendously transforms fashion during the forum week one is as likely to see folks on sidewalks with old school wingtip shoes and briefcases as they are with people with skis boots and poles even buildings shapeshifter just days ago theres a pizzeria dance club that is transformed into what is now called crypto h. Q. A local longer a shop blue lemon for this week is a temporary home to sales force but Cloud Computing Company Costs for these rentals can run in the tens even hundreds of thousands of dollars a church was even transformed further week into a money making venture as they run out the establishment even nations like argentina and ukraine have rented various buildings weve interviewed guest this week at the india house and the russia house and the local economy is also boosted by big bucks at hotels where if you can find a room it will cost you five hundred dollars at a minimum and at restaurants the cost of a steak meal with no frills can run you one hundred dollars this year has been especially transformative and not in a great way davos has experience more snow than any year since one thousand nine hundred ninety nine st snow blowers fill large truck which take and dump the snow outside of town as another truck quickly replaces the older one and while the removal process is a fish and all that snow has made the already small roads not much more than a single lane making traffic totally terrible thats either with hundreds of Police Officers from neighboring communities joining the security and traffic effort on tuesday for example it took the boom bust team two hours to travel only two blocks as a forum ends today. Many attendees will stay over the weekend come monday residents and businesses alike and doubles will begin to get back to normal but they will do so with a little more money in their wallets and their bank accounts. As you know the world is becoming smaller and smaller every day one of the things thats helped us connect is the ability to talk to virtually anybody almost anywhere with the advancement of technology a person here in the u. S. Could be skype being or on the face time with somebody in china in just a matter of seconds this theme of Global Messaging has played a huge role at davos and bart managed to catch up with one man who knows a little bit about the subject check out. And were back again and this time we are fortunate in actually honored to have Philip Metzger who is the director general of the federal Communications Office here in switzerland but more important than that hes also a Global Leader on technology and communication issues director general thank you for being with us thanks very much for having me and in davos of course the conversations about what we do in the world and how does communications and digitization play into creating a less fractured world serve well of course that is that is the one Million Dollar question because on the one hand the communication per se we know thats that will be used to interact as human beings but on the other hand digitization is changing our entire lives how we work our we live how we play and so i think we have on the one hand the challenge of having a communication that reaches anyone and that we can have open channels of communication that we have a certain freedom to express ourselves and on the other hand with the new digital potential that we have we have to make sure that we move forward into a Digital World without leaving the people behind so incluse inclusiveness inclusive it see it will be key and that requires i believe new forms of interaction as well to reap the benefits of the just as a she and director general you certainly know about our reversal of Net Neutrality which for lack of a better phrase rations knowledge because it rations choice and information whether its on the internet or on television but how do you balance as a regulator the free market and demands for open access etc at the same time privacy of individuals out how do you walk that tightrope and i think thats of course a key aspect of how we make sure that Going Forward we keep the internet open and free and that people can use that tool not only just to communicate to interact but a. So to develop innovation and to develop and new services new goods and of course to allow for Sustainable Development which is our overall goal if you think about the twentieth erkki agenda and so i think that having said said that the question of neutral access of open access is key if i look at it from a swiss perspective we certainly want to make sure that our networks are open that there is no restriction there is no blocking of content we are keeping a close eye on that we have good initiatives from the sector we have Good Business initiatives you have good interaction between the stakeholders because citizens are concerned about this as well but ultimately also need a number of number of rules without over regulating it because that can be counterproductive as well and so as we speak were discussing in switzerland the revision of our telecoms act where we would like to in trying a number of rules regarding transparency so that the customer actually knows how his or her data is being treated and that they have a choice and im familiar ive been in this circumstance before where you know there is often times and over reaction to by politicians and i dont say that a negative way they are accountable to the people but legislators accept that they want to do something and its really your job director general jobs like i had before where you have to say nah lets make sure we do the commonsense approach and you go in and listen to people so thats a really a complicated balance to hold as weve talked about all of the other issues well of course im speaking again from my own country you know our fundamental freedoms are key to us there in trying to our constitution the freedom of expression is an absolutely key tool for having the democracy that we have in switzerland the director more prosy work and so we certainly want to make sure we keep that openness having said that we are also aware and thats one other point were going to try and change in that act that would the government. Proposing a telecoms act to make sure precisely as you mentioned the child pornography that we can crack down on that more efficiently because there are a number of rules today and so it is a fine line as you said it is a fine line that we have to walk we want to be sure there is no overreaction but clearly there are fundamentals where days frankly a political consensus as well where we want to make sure that there are clear limits and with regard to big data this term thats often thrown around where your phone companies can follow you around in your mobile device except for how are you balancing that freedom of big data and at the same time looking at scams and fraud internet crimes etc well again i think for us to have that freedom and to preserve it this is key we have a believe a constitution which allows for a lot of private initiative to come up with solutions that work that people are hearing to that theyre also buying in a sense if you speak about business but on the other hand what we realize of course is that we also have clear maybe european views if you will when it comes to data privacy and they may be different from other continents i think we have a sort of a common understanding that we want to have a control over our own data as well and i think is that one of the major challenges Going Forward big data and data per se is becoming an incredible resource and incredible. Some people call it infrastructure rather would say its like a raw material in any case its something which allows us to progress a society the question is on the what conditions and the can and the question is for us also in switzerland is how can we provide for a framework which allows us to generate added value because what we see at the moment to be quite honest is that a lot of this value is being created elsewhere and here there are major corporations Global Corporations which are of course have had some plastic inventions that theyre using though that theyre promoting that theyre. We have great infrastructures i. T. Infrastructures in our country but i dont think today we are getting enough of the share that we would like to get from the potential of data so we will have to find there as well find the right balance between the Data Protection which is a key component in our culture again and i think in the why european context on the one hand but becoming better in trying to provide the right rules that allow businesses that allow a also the use for commercial purposes and i think the key component is to bring that together so they would be more tools for the individual to decide what he or she wants to do with his or her data and then enter into a kind of a transaction mode with business director general i travel a lot all over the world but i travel in Rural America too and i can tell you in the states there are some places that you know its not how much how many bars you have its whether or not you have a bar whether or not theres even service there and it needs to be much better but im curious whats the circumstance you travel all over the world to whats the circumstance here in switzerland in the europe and in the world do they even have some of these internet or Internet Connections in some areas like Subsaharan Africa etc well i think we have as i mentioned earlier we have i think we have certainly from speaking for switzerland very good connectivity and the providers the Telecom Providers operators are investing to keep investing a lot in that both fixed and mobile but as you mentioned i mean if you look at the global scale if you look at this this issue there is clearly. Something a risk in the sense that we get to a Digital Divide where we have people with access and we have others we dont and we know at the moment on the global scale it is not a really positive picture because too many people dont have access to the internet and again as important as the open internet the fundamental freedoms that can be expressed over the internet and unfettered. This is important of course is to get the physical infrastructure in place and there i believe Technology Helps us in the sense that we have a lot of mobile great mobile technology or satellite also that helps to leapfrog in a number of countries where they couldnt just deploy fixed wires in the ground and on the other hand we have to ask ourselves what policies and what regulations are actually conducive to investments we are right now working in the within the Broadband Commission for Sustainable Development to which i am a member on a set of policy recommendations which should be you know be looked into by this isnt makers when they decide what kind of rules they set because they can greatly influence the will and the willingness. Of operators of investors to come to those countries who desperately need the access so i think it is a fundamental point if we dont crack the question of the Digital Divide we will have major major issues and we will leave the vast vast populations across the globe in a situation that they are not supposed to be that they deserve to be much better much better connectivity and so i think thats thats ultimately what were here for director general Philip Metzger we thank you so much for your time for your dedication to Public Service and for being a Global Citizen and helping to work on these issues all over the world thank you so much for your time is an honor to be with you thank you. All right that does it for me here in washington today but be sure to join us next week well have a ton more stuff that we didnt get to share this week in davos finally back with us here in studio next week thanks for watching im analogy and lets check out now with art over another.

Massive explosion rocks a different market district of the Afghan Capital reportedly killing at least ninety five and injuring nearly one hundred sixty. The International Olympic committee will reveal to dale today which russian athletes will be allowed to compete in the winter games although some of the countrys top medal hopefuls have already been found. Donald trump will be visiting the u. K. Later this year however activists are already planning to breach the president with huge protests. Also this hour russia bans the british satire the death of stalin from cinema claiming the film distorts history and is a link to. A very warm welcome youre watching r. T. International with me nicky aaron good to have you with us. Now at least ninety five people have been killed and more nearly one hundred sixty injured after a large explosion rocked the Afghan Capital kabul thats according to reports that fighting interior Ministry Officials local journalists belongs to worry reports from the ground. We understand at this stage that the attacker was in an ambulance he had said he had a patient and that he was stopped at the second checkpoint by the police force the attack took place right in the heart of kabul this is not very far from the Swedish Embassy from the European Union from the Indonesian Embassy and from the High Peace Council which is down the road the attack shows this constant issue of security and intelligence breaches the area where the attack took place is less than one hundred meters from the office of the police chief of kabul less than twenty meters away from key Afghan Intelligence facilities once the area is cleared in once the dust settles unfortunately we will be hearing that a lot of those killed ordinary people who are simply the only breadwinners for their families and the people of afghanistan continue to suffer and they continue to bear the brunt of this conflict at a time when we also see all sides intensifying the war. Afghanistan has seen a spike in deadly deadly terror attacks recently early this week i saw militants attacked the office of the humanitarian group save the children in the city of jalalabad it was followed by a car bomb exploding outside the premises up to fifty people were reportedly in the building at the time of the attack to six people were killed and dozens more injured save the children has since announced its suspending its operations in afghanistan and last saturday taliban militants carried out a siege attack on a luxury hotel in kabul that left at least twenty two dead political analyst. Says the Afghan Security forces lack a heroin strategy in the fight against numerous terror groups the situation is getting from bad to worse the security in the Afghan Security forces are unable you know to have a proper strategy or plan for curbing to resume not only in kabul city but all over afghanistan and now that we are heading towards a spring. In the next two three months probably insurgent attacks will increase in afghanistan and you might end up losing a few provinces to the hands of color Born International community. Headed by the Us Government and the strategies we have seen incidents in iraq we have seen you know the situation in libya in other countries and for the past sixteen seventeen years we have been witnessing these Food Strategies in afghanistan i dont think you know they have a strategy for afghanistan. But who other news this hour the olympic chiefs are due to announce later on saturday which russian athletes will be invited to take part in the upcoming winter games in south korea but russia has already had bad news with a number of its top medal hopefuls left off the list of those eligible for selection. I was left with a weakness and i am was because of course of the violence i was surely in my belly as i was a material that i was. Just that was just the house accommodating health care hurry up eat good for all that im passionate about league one. Has yet as yet weve got a Live Audience as we have i am glad of the its yeah with which was that i asked which was which was kept at that flat i think before me that is that dog was not going to ask us to buy and i think in. My thoughts were leaving everything behind and returning home it was my dream to compete at the olympics and i was working towards the go through hundreds and thousands of difficulties through sweat and blood. Of a such a monstrous bust of the. Mafia of me if i could have him i am him he was so this would be such a difference from the predecessor of. The issue to the survivors of the top dog just restore. The former. Team of russia was banned from participating in the winter games almost two months ago of allegations of state sponsored doping though clean athletes are being given the chance to compete as neutral as the i. O. C. Says athletes who pass the strict screening procedure will receive a personal invitation to take part some five hundred russian athletes applied to compete in the i. O. C. Gave provisional approval to almost eighty percent of them most of these didnt compete at the thought she games in twenty fourteen where most of the doping allegations them from russian olympic officials have already released a list of one hundred sixty nine athletes it says have been cleared to participate illiterate trenker has been looking at the criteria the i. O. C. Is using when screening athletes weeks after russia had come to terms with no team russian career anyone with even the slightest interest in sport in this country was baffled dozens of clean wash and star athletes never got their olympic invitations those whod never been under any suspicion by the sporting federations or even the i. O. C. When they had everyone with a russian passport under the microscope forget about your dream story no explanation that could have been the case but the International Olympic committee then let us know the seventeen criteria they used if you dont match at least one or rather if theres even doubt about at least one of them youre out. That could be suspicion that could even be an ongoing procedure that could be many factors which did not lead to the satisfaction of the panel the purpose is to invite clean russian athletes for which this panel has been and has not the slightest doubt or suspicion again seventeen boxes to be taked to get the all clear theres all kinds of things on the list from the infamous scratches on sample bottles to that obscure final segment additional confidential information provided by wada even one of those gets you a red light but the criteria set by the i. O. C. Itself might well race suspicion not only in russia take the first two which essentially unite all the rest by the way being sanctioned by the i. O. C. Investigators or any antidoping rule violation in the past the latest group of russian athletes who found out theyre not go and were never involved in any of that another box to take issues revealed by the moscow antidoping lab database well its the whistleblower and his team who used to be in charge of it. It was created by the deputy of grigori which includes and had several levels of access until the summer of twenty sixteen it was possible to change any of the data that the world agency coincide with this back in twenty thirteen it cannot serve as evidence ive mentioned scratches and marks on sample bottles arguably the most solid proof that however was never shown to the public just like the visual results of the bottle flaw experiments back to the waters mysterious Additional Data that amounts to intelligence extracted from its Whistleblower Program and other sources many people in russia would like to know who these sources are and why they should be trusted one more segment additional intelligence provided by the International Winter federations ill tell you what the association that unites these Federation Said the i. O. C. Our request to clarify whats going on some federation official seem to have been racking their brains while the president of the International Biathlon union was particularly outspoken it is very sad if there is no direct proof of should pool and guilt the i. B. U. Tested human numerous occasions and never tested positive for a banned substance so apparently its all down to the criteria of choosing the right criteria question to compete in the games will have to follow strict rules according to the latest i
