in the. where i come from we have to fight for a free france and was born and raised in a new town with the danger she protests one to the shadow and if you are his favorites when official information as a journey i have walked off the streets of many characters and their problems are always the same forward to source inequality a lack of the freedom of the press. corruption gone the far to stay silent when it comes to the sounds of the human seem right to fools who have decided to put their

trust in us. my name is jenny harrison i work. at the. lab to be a cries foul the government says corruption allegations against its central bank governor are a smear campaign and an effort to meddle in elections. for the very first time an oil major predicts of peak in the demand for crude will let you know when why and what's next and venezuela claims of cryptocurrency success with the world's first state backed virtual coins but critics say it won't the complicated means of exchange. i've been fizzling let's do business the latvian defense ministry says

corruption allegations leveled at the country's central bank governor a part of a decision from ation campaign from abroad the ministry says claims. so bribes in return for keeping a bank in business were intended to erode trust in the eurozone states and influence elections in october if a has rocked a small bolt of nation which blames close neighbor and former political muster russia. bill maher's. it says he's a victim of a smear campaign he's accusing private latvian banks of trying to get revenge for tougher financial regulations by accusing him of demanding bribes of one hundred thousand euros a month. i have become a target have an obvious and well coordinated campaign of some latvian commercial banks to discredit the latvian state. but one day after him ship which was suspended from office the defense ministry said the accusations appeared to be

a foreign disinformation campaign in a statement it said there is a high possibility that this is a white information operation from outside and its aim is to show latvia as an untrustworthy ally. to ministry didn't say which country was behind that campaign but there's little doubt it meant russia the russian foreign ministry in moscow refused comment but the bribery accusations come from a russian businessman and with elections due later this year fears of us elections . his editor of the german language newspaper. let's start off with this so-called this information campaign how likely is that and what evidence is there. well first off we have to make sure that everybody understands was speculating here because nobody knows the and so you get if it is a misinformation campaign from brussels some other country or whomever but i would

say it's quite likely because the u.s. has gone and i'm sorry russia has all been demonstrated in the past that they're willing and ready to interfere in elections in the democratic process in other countries such as the us elections they've tried to do the same in the french and german elections so it's quite possible especially in a country like lot which has been dependent on russia for so long and which has been a thorn in russia side you know joining the european union nato and also the euro currency so it's. there are other factors that could play a role here money lost money laundering charges by the u.s. administration against the third largest bank and stuff like that but it's quite likely that it's russia involved too but we're not talking about meddling in the affairs of the world's top economists the u.s. we're talking about a tiny nation what what would most go hope to change well i would

say they tried to meddle militarily and politically and countries like ukraine and georgia who are not safe in terms of being nato members and e.u. members in latvia estonia lithuania of those small baltic countries that were once part of the soviet union they can't do that so they have to be more subtle they have to find other ways to do it i'm as i said before i'm speculating here but if russia wanted to meddle they would have to do it in the most subtle way such as this putting a wedge between lots of other european union euro currency countries for example what is the response from the kremlin. well there hasn't been a response yet as far as i know there won't be i think all there will be just all we do have nothing to do with it because if they did it and we have to stress this point we don't know yet but if they did it they don't have to do anything more

those days so the seeds of distrust between lotfi and the european union and it's going to be a success for them but. it's not clear yet the other interesting thing here is that latvia as a you as a member so wouldn't this be not only an attack on latvia but also an attack on the e.c.b. well you know that's absolutely true. if they did it that's what they were trying to do because this man has been chairman of the lothian national bank for i think seventeen years now he's also a member of the council of the european central bank and this is this is all pretty much interconnected so that's in direct if not even a direct attack on the european central bank as well that's why they might be trying to do this in his paper it's a miracle cop out thank you very much for your analysis. now everyone used to worry about the globe's oil reserves running out now the industry fees demand will start

drying up b.p. reckons it'll begin plateau ing in the late twenty thirteen's as renewables take over. automotive companies around the world are betting on the mass adoption of electric vehicles in the next decades and they're not the only ones oil and gas giant b.p. is anticipating the same it predicts a one hundred fold growth in electric vehicles by twenty forty and a corresponding hit to the world's oil and gas sector b.p. forecasts continuing growth in global demand for oil and other liquid fuel in the next years but that demand is set to stop increasing after it hits one hundred ten million barrels a day in the late twenty thirty s. it's the first time b.p. has forecast a peak in the world's appetite for oil. it's not just about electric cars increased fuel efficiency in vehicles powered by internal combustion engines

is set to offset consumption too but beyond the automotive sector other factors are set to cause demand to sag like tighter regulations restricting the use of plastic as well as an expected increase in the share of renewables in the global energy mix to fourteen percent by twenty forty. francs conrad could the world's third for oil finally be quenched. to a certain extent yes of course we have to keep in mind that in the coming years hundreds of millions of households in emerging economies will be buying their first motor cars so it's very likely that during the next ten or fifteen years all consumption will continue to rise but not very much b.p. says that by the end of the twenty thirty's the daily consumption of oil will be about one hundred ten million barrels a day that's only ten millions

a barrel ten million barrels a day more than today so the increase will not be very strong and the reasons for that were mentioned in the use report we just saw more control for plastic then of course the emergence of more and more electric cars and most of all more efficient engines because i think another piece of information from british petroleum b.p. was very interesting they're not talking about peak oil they're talking about a plateau that oil consumption will reach that means that for a serious amount of time after the plateau has been reached all over the still be consumed because for example airplanes you cannot easily transfer their engines from combustible engines to electric engines just briefly where we're talking about demand remaining you're talking about a peaking or plateau ing but also so much more efficiency isn't that something that

would get traders excited. absolutely traders investors are seeing opportunities there but i have to release tell you there's also a lot of uncertainty think about the solar panels that everyone wanted to invest in invest in recent years some of those companies were pretty successful some of them were not so there is a certain amount of risk always a revolution for us in frankfurt thank you. well venezuela is awash in oil but drowning in debt it's also the first nation in the world to launch a state backed digital currency petro it's designed to hold the country out of its economic crisis the president's already trumpeting its success not everyone's convinced. venezuela's president nicolas maduro has been promoting the country's new digital currency even going as far as putting it against an american superhero . today marks the birth of

a crypto currency that can take on superman the petrol not even superman could threaten it. maduro says that venezuela raise seven hundred thirty five million dollars on petrels first day of pre-sale but his critics say maduro didn't present any evidence many are skeptical going as far as comparing the petrol to the country's beleaguered currency. it all depends on the trust in the issuer we can see the example set by the ball of our in theory it's backed by the whole venezuelan economy but no one has faith in the ball because nobody believes what the government says. then as well is in desperate need of a solution hyperinflation and soaring debt levels of cold poverty levels to skyrocket the government's latest move could potentially help it circumvents us and e.u. sanctions and raise much needed foreign exchange for the country for u.s. citizens and companies buying the petrol would mean violating sanctions so the

currency may already face an uphill battle in other countries. i still business with. you and . the i'm. coming to and. the i'm trying to a. to a
