states and the united kingdom because we've got democratic foundations of our country so we are very concerned about this now the question is is how to the poor get out of the traps larry and that is really does require the state to intervene because the state can redistribute income and to redistribute wealth now the poor what they have to do it by themselves however having said that of course the poor get votes in democratic societies so to some extent they need to exercise those votes and make clear you know via social media or whatever influence they can have you know to get these policies in place what really concerns me though of course is that the wealth can be hidden all right so if i want to tax the wealthy i probably hidden it somewhere but it's very difficult for states in today's global as well to get hold of that so if you're the u.k. government trying to do redistribute wealth you may find it very difficult because so many offshore companies it's hidden in switzerland the bahamas or whatever and all right difficult for the ok to keep i'm going to jump in here folks we'r

kingdom to further what you've just said in your graphic for example the united kingdom media has made quite a bit of what it's called noise being introduced into ukraine for example. people called where mosques on demonstrations and so on but of course it's not to mention that this has also been the law and united kingdom for some time well you know looking at the situation in ukraine and how the police is dealing with the young around there we have seen a police have been using violence rather spiraling so far so in your opinion why isn't there an all out crackdown happening in the capital kiev and elsewhere in the country. i think it's true to say that sudden from the footage we've seen here in the west that much of the protest movement is peaceful clearly also it's politically organized in a way that often doesn't take place in the west that's to say you have opposition leaders actually taking part in these protests started there might be a feeling that this is perhaps more than just a small section of society irrespective of how democratic and democratic the protesters actually ar

states and the united kingdom. i think it's still at a brittle stage. we could see some things taking us off track but i feel as everybody else does that there are some green shoots and one can feel these economies beginning to grow. also very importantly i think we've seen some slowing of growth rates in some of the higher emerging growth countries which again seem to be now recovering a little bit, not dramatically but they are recovering. and i think the huge dangling debit of the instability in the financial system certainly seems to be working its way up. of course that's terribly important for confidence. >> the key phrase you mentioned something that takes us off track. you're a risk assessor. what takes us off track or potentially could take us off track? >> well i think, to be honest, i think political instability in some countries could take us off track where the right prudential policies are not being pursued. i think could take us off track. i think if you take, for example, the uk, where we are making
