headline — i'm intrigue, the novelist in me is intrigued by the headline, describing it as a fire sale. and that connection is quite scary. but as often happens with the economics, and certainly in terms of fiscal situations, one person's fire sale is another person's opportunity. and the ft quotes several private equity firms who are talking about how these economic conditions are actually very attractive for people who want to buy some of those assets, and some of the pension funds will have to deep dig to get more liquid assets like property. but for everyone who's having to make a sale, there's also someone who will have to make a purchase. and that is how the markets operate. and i think what

worries me is a former investment banker about what's been happening over the last two weeks is this sense that everything is a snapshot and looking very scary, whereas if you can just hold your nerve and take a step back, and wait for things to settle, what you often find is the markets bounced the —— balance themselves out. fin find is the markets bounced the -- balance themselves out.— find is the markets bounced the -- balance themselves out. on the front .ae. balance themselves out. on the front -a~e of balance themselves out. on the front -a . e of the balance themselves out. on the front page of the in — balance themselves out. on the front page of the in the _ balance themselves out. on the front page of the in the micro _ balance themselves out. on the front page of the in the micro ft, - balance themselves out. on the front page of the in the micro ft, the - balance themselves out. on the front page of the in the micro ft, the us l page of the in the micro ft, the us has hit out at will guts that oil cuts, joe biden is not pleased. when will we as consumers be hit by a? this is the issue, joe biden has been _ this is the issue, joe biden has been lobbying intensely for an increase. _ been lobbying intensely for an increase, not a cut, and its 2 million — increase, not a cut, and its 2 million barrels a day, which potentially looks like it's being cut after— potentially looks like it's being cut after this decision today. it realty— cut after this decision today. it really is — cut after this decision today. it really is bad news for the west, reaity~ — really is bad news for the west, really the _ really is bad news for the west, really. the us accused 0pec of

went big on an announcement that he was determined to use nuclear weapons, if it came to it, and that this is not a bluff. the problem is in diplomacy, you have to behave as if it is a bluff, but also prepare for the fact that it might not be. and because vladimir putin is such a volatile operator, it's hard to know when he's bluffing or not and what to do. so you've got a country like poland that is geographically so close to poland, and it has actually asked for these nuclear weapons to be moved closer to the border. but i'm interested in this line here where it says that moving the warheads closer to russia would make them more vulnerable and less military useful. that doesn't sound like a great idea at all, but psychologically what the nation of poland wants to feel is protected, do they have the backing of the us

and nato behind them at a time that could become ever more febrile? not least because russia has lost a fair bit of land over the last 48 hours, and one hopes that that will only continue. �* ~' , ., continue. sam, i'd like your thoughts— continue. sam, i'd like your thoughts on _ continue. sam, i'd like your thoughts on that _ continue. sam, i'd like your thoughts on that same - continue. sam, i'd like your. thoughts on that same story. continue. sam, i'd like your- thoughts on that same story. nuclear weapons, it sends a shiver down everybody�*s spine. is it symbolic, are they calling his bluff? in everybody's spine. is it symbolic, are they calling his bluff?- are they calling his bluff? in the article it talks _ are they calling his bluff? in the article it talks about _ are they calling his bluff? in the article it talks about it - are they calling his bluff? in the article it talks about it being - are they calling his bluff? in the article it talks about it being a l article it talks about it being a symbolic— article it talks about it being a symbolic move, because when they move _ symbolic move, because when they move the _ symbolic move, because when they move the weapons to that close a position. — move the weapons to that close a position, they are less effective. but obviously it is a powerful message. there's lots of discussions today— message. there's lots of discussions today as _ message. there's lots of discussions today as to— message. there's lots of discussions today as to whether vladimir putin is actually— today as to whether vladimir putin is actually planning to unleash one of these _ is actually planning to unleash one of these nuclear weapons in an area of these nuclear weapons in an area of tow— of these nuclear weapons in an area of low population as some kind of warning _ of low population as some kind of warning to — of low population as some kind of warning to the west — it'sjust

but british boxing's governing body issued a statement which may well force the promoters to find another board to sanction the fight if it's to go ahead. i've not committed any violations. i've not been suspended, so as far as i am concerned, the fight is still going ahead. i've spoken to chris personally, and we both want the fight to go ahead. we've both taken medical and legal advice, and we want the fight to happen for the fans. you know, i've signed up to every voluntary anti—doping test in areas under the sun. throughout my whole career, i'm tested, i have never had any issues before — even in the lead—up, all my tests had come back negative. so my team will find out why there has been an initial adverse finding in my test. we didn't speak today. i haven't heard _ we didn't speak today. i haven't heard from him since the media picked _ heard from him since the media picked up — heard from him since the media picked up on this drug failure. and,
