sanctions perhaps because of continual revolutionary ideas like these. giving the freedom i'm pulling out of n.y. will see them are there any more now than it did i said of africa early enough then if. we're not going to have any sort of ana yes president glassman doro is announce a new oil backed crypto currency called the petro and some emerging economies way which will be another nail in the coffin of washington's federal reserve system donald trump's federal reserve chair person certainly doesn't know how to regulate it i think it's important to understand that this is payment innovation it's taking place entirely outside the banking industry and to the best of my knowledge there is no intersection at all in any way between big korean and banks that the federal reserve has the ability to supervise and regulate janet yellen there

who's term as u.s. fed chair and in less than eight weeks well we caught up with yet another new cryptocurrency recently the crypto ruble to be created by the russian federation which of course is allied to venezuela what is it well we asked for much of russia's deputy minister of economic development he was in london for the annual russian british business forum opposite the palace of westminster. russian federation state secretary what is the quip to ruble that i understand he has not an initiative of central bank over commented in the bulls to about it where it cautious in terms of i mean we as a regulator in russia. very cautious about the currency and they can see consists of hers in terms of and then emitted terms of terrorism sponsoring and so on so forth so we're we're not against the technology that underlies this and of new financial instruments but from the terms from the point

of view of regulator we have to. develop the mechanisms and tools to regulate this currency and to make it more transparent to make it more controllable for for the government so if we're talking about the group the currency in russia it can be a. state issue this crypto currency in terms of one of the mean the meaning of that it would be using russian technology and this year as the youngster that would this go into isolation so it's a discussion it's not that is here and it has already made it a discussion and in discussion. is now in every central bank of every country because nobody knows what to do with this group the currency is now i know that the russian government has said that if russia didn't do it your asian countries will do it in any case tell me about the importance of the brics economies the brics

bank we don't we all we hear about in the two nation media arguably is still the i.m.f. and world bank. you know brace is some kind of a club in fact it's not the financial organisation but. every country which is in breaks to establish more close more and say trust trust worth the. operation and go. medications between governments and between businesses of this country we have many fields we have many. conferences where we meet with our friends from brazil china india and south africa we have many discussions on it gonna make some difference fields of cooperation is there room for a close briggs it britain in those would be good. yes of course a very them is always welcome and you do see progress being made at a faster pace now than say a year ago when the asian the international desk from bank was moved. you know

progress is here barrie it's not that fast. we have this progress. in position to command deeper because it's not my sphere of responsibility in russia to. monitor of the of the stuff sure when it but when it comes to british business doing deals with russian business a lot of people ways comment on the fact the russian economy is so dependent on oil prices is that something that your department does a lot of working out to do when it goes either yes we're working on it for the past i think ten or fifteen years in fact very doable. and now economy is not that dependent now and then it was for the say five or seven years before. you know. we saw the this. huge drop in oil prices and economy sustained and it was.

so all this price shocks of course they are very crucial for us in economy because we're still dependent on oil prices and gas prices but it's not that critical for us now because you know machinery and work culture. services and all this new sectors of. post-industrial is quantum in a city and so on so we see that. this give us more sustainability if we're talking about the external shocks because there aren't sanctions on elegy because a third of energy in the plate germany's energy needs off rumah russia would you say to the fact that drazen is very proud that britain is voting for sanctions against russia doesn't that hurt economic development a little in the post potential of trade you know every sanction. negative live.

in for any economic development but for both sides for those who. accept the sanctions. for those who is under this other sanctions hurting russia yes of course they were frightened deeply two years ago and still there are russia but russia is already adept at this kind of stuff so we developed many or all internal sectors that we previously will that can be imported before they condiment these degrees much less. much lower now than it was before and we see it on muckrake and on explicit government growth. record how frightened do you think british businesspeople my mind they're not so afraid already we had two years previous two years when the foreign business especially in the us and the u.k. and and in several parts of europe they were very cautious about having any deals

with russia over the russian companies even if they already have business with russia who is how we recovered in terms of economic growth it's not that high but it's sound it's about year and we're. looking forward for the next year mob to mystically them. before recently maybe the britain of the return. ok but when you're back in more security economic development department of the russian federation and you see headlines saying that the russian government has hacked elections and caused chaos around the world how do you see. you know you well are with. british i'm not prepared are so this kind of question but you know it's. of course we have a minister of. foreign affairs and they provide russian position on this topic to my mind i'm not a diplomat i feel different this is of course. is not good for do

in real business and it's unfair if we're talking about russia to victimize russia with all this stuff i think it's just. negative p.r. but it's exaggerating a little bit we've called that this. wave of negative news about russia. it will slow down and we see already that it several signs that it's going to slow. of course it's about the business they feel nervous about making deals with the russian companies but i hope very much that this situation is not forever this year we already see. good news good good news i would say in this field who would you say do with actual business is thinking of investing thinking oh they're going to be even harsher sanctions on

russia which will affect our investment if we think of a new deal with a russian company i hope the won't be any more harsh sanctions but if they will be placed i think that the russian economy has the potential to sustain in any case quick future of thank you you thank. after the break and then they just leave his gavel today in london to discuss privatization of health care why are people dying earlier than other developed nations here in tory led britain oxford university professor danny dorling linus we go in coming up badly a great firm political biases this approach to the news is not only polarizing but it's also lowering journalistic standards this is why readers and viewers seek their news elsewhere. i played for many clubs over the years so i know the game inside. the ball isn't only about what happens on the

pitch for the final school it's about the passion from the fans it's the age of the superman to kill the narrowness and spending to get to the twenty million. it's an experience like nothing else to because i want to share what i think what i know about the beautiful game played great so well with. the base. financial survival. housing bubble. oh you mean there's a downside to artificially low mortgage rates don't get carried away that's cause report.

welcome back when we did go through some of the week's papers are inevitably will cost and former liberal democrats let's go straight your first paper though the can there in the online canary destitute canary says a shocking report on suicide attempts among benefit payments has surfaced but the media is silent ike had to read this article twice afshin because it says that over forty percent from now forty three percent of claimants and maybe almost fifty percent in some cases have attempted suicide taking their own life who are on disability welfare bill and he is a forty seven percent of female that's right so you're talking about almost one in two people who are on disability benefit have tried to end their lives and you

can't tell whether it's higher or lower it is higher if that was three years ago those figures so it could be even more now but whether it's thirty or forty or fifty percent this is a phenomenal proportion of people who are vulnerable now the government with its large jessa said oh this is a complex issue here the devolved workbenches officially the government it's a very complex issue or that's great and so they clearly understand it but this is at a time when we've seen incredible pressure on people who live on benefits not just those of disability issues but when you look at that kind of figure let's take a step back we're meant to be the fifth or sixth richest nation on earth and almost half the people in this category have tried to take their own lives i think that's more than complex i think it's scandalous. beatriz and there has bigger things to worry about like actually staying in power to go into poetry on ear while she herself is a wounded animal and patchin says this will the do you finally surrender you are

shadowed or the secretary for ten years is going on i know all of these people very well and what the reason may has walked into is a perfect storm of contradictions on the one side she's trying to make bricks it mean. whatever that means on the other side she get rid of the day you pay remember the democratic unionist party are the only thing that stands between her and minority government oblivion they're propping up jeremy cauldron premiership well perhaps we'll come back to that in the future he don't want but this is the double whammy here the do pay sort of depend on three's a may for their power and they say so quite clearly they themselves wilson who's one of the more outspoken on this earth and he says well we have a lot of power in house of commons he's dead right on the other hand if they exercise that power then the very government through which they get cut off already could go now what's all this about it's the thorny issue of the land border which

some people don't even realize exists between the united kingdom and the european union that's between the north of ireland and the south what are we going to get here all kinds of interesting words being used is there going to be some kind of regulates three com virgins what does that mean for the north of ireland they say it's a muddling of language but in rigid seymour's piece here it's interesting saying the d.v.d. they come from working class protestant roots they will not negotiate be macchiavelli in about this when it comes to their own constituency being threatened and the idea of a united ireland on the united ireland you're absolutely right there's nothing that they can even suggest or hint out without losing massive supporters a d.p. you're also right that pretty much every political party in northern ireland is socialist leaning two thirds of the economy just short of that is state funding so on that they united on you know united ireland they couldn't be more divided and this is an issue which is going to run and run because it's not a tall clear to me how to resume a square as this one and they don't want to have a border which is the irish sea because the d.p.

would consider that to be defeat they go she ations do today bomb body a decision big employer in northern ireland next two weeks from the bone parliament as it's known to great story we're in four point six billion pounds worth of sale. according to latest figures it's not really a funny story though let's go to this yes the memo the middle east monitor says you haven't salo six iran has to mediate the dispute with this story is published online just minutes before the reporting of the death of the longtime auto correct supported by the west and that's what makes it so complex is to make it simpler a little bit simpler there's been a lot of internal fighting on the anti saudi arabia side remember saudi arabia's been bombarding yemen for quite a long time here for political interest they want to reinstate their person at the top sally was against that but it looks like he was trying to bring his side

together there's been a falling out which we have got time to go into the details of now and being in his death now this is a very unstable position they'll be militants they'll be moderates in here but there's also risk this will weaken the people fighting saudi arabia it's so difficult to understand i think everyone just says at the moment that will certainly britain will earn lots of money out of the deaths because if you're a bit does no commit another onslaught on civilians according to aid agencies but but even if that's right it's very hard to get information in the u.k. let's go on to that actually because i mean you must i mean you've been talking about this when your radio shows and we talk about here are going undercover longer it's going to twenty first century and this ties into the previous story as well a twenty first century wire says what to expect from b.b.c. panorama and guardian's whitewash of u.k. government funding terrorists in syria so while that's going on in yemen and we've got involvement there we are also involved in helping militants who i suppose the

british government hopes will overthrow assad in syria still even after the us dollar dog the geneva talks finally the b.b.c. would have long denied it and they continue to use pictures from the white helmets and so over. finally a panorama program in water that is no watches as we had times about what's the point to an extent because there's a whole list of things they didn't mention not they didn't mention the white helmets involvement with others it's either they think that the public don't understand it or it's just not palatable either way well ten out of ten for beginning to talk about it two out of ten for the depth with which you did it and i should say also i did see the program at least the former chair of the british foreign affairs select committee speaking very well about it weighs in the former chair of the board of us and i wonder why i wonder why often there were a big thank you. well the latest official figures

show excess winter deaths in england and wales have jumped by forty percent that winter quarter mainly the elderly but what exactly are tens of thousands of people dying could it be post twenty zero eight crashing your liberal austerity policies carried out since tereza may entered government and many developed nations for life expected woolford mackinder professor of geography danny welcome back to going who knows but let's take us back when it comes you have to go back to the nineteenth century to find periods where life expectancy was just marking but even first time into you know one nine hundred fifty it went up faster for women in first because it was men he started smoking after first world war but then when the man men began to smoking in one thousand seven hundred eighty eight in large numbers the gap between men and women which used all the time it was improving as an incredible rate what about the hardline one nine hundred seventy s. when trade unions which of the four even landed. faster than one hundred fifty thousand sixty's and nineteen seventy's a much maligned decade in the night in seventy eight for the first time

a long time city to sheffield actually had better life expectancy than the national average in the us and seventy's were very good decade for most people ok so let's take us to today david cameron forms has gone damn coalition in twenty ten. what happens then and of course razor may as well secretary what happens then we don't begin to notice until twenty twelve was when we first noticed we began to see mortality actually rising first of all only for very elderly women women aged over eighty began to lose a few years of life on average by twenty fifteen and spread it to wider groups by twenty forty you're looking at men and women by twenty fifty and we had quite a lot of excess of that more than you normally expect and now now when we look back at twenty ten we can see that life expectancy has hardly changed at all between twenty ten and now whereas in every other country in europe it has this is quite

outside those b.m.j. figures about austerity you're just looking at these life expectancy statistics this is just from the office of national statistics the office of national statistics produced what were called the two thousand and fourteen base projections for the future and in october just a few weeks ago this year they produce a two thousand and sixteen base at least updated and the projections actually say that by about twenty forty one men and women will be living almost a year less than was predicted two years earlier and the projections allow you to work out every year how many meetings but if you're going to back to you also if you know the quality so that that was not good for the health service it didn't make it more efficient but also systematic underfunding we're not increasing the funding of the health service as much as we need the aging the population and we're spending far less about it on our house that they spend in france germany is on but more importantly than that the cuts the social care funding for elderly people you know numbers of cuts and visits to people who are elderly and frail is empty and

frail first of all sort of the big increase in mortality action to the twenty zero eight gresh and we're really talking about tens of thousands of people effectively being killed since twenty ten let alone the forty thousand a year from air pollution according to. this is the. i earlier than you would expect now most of these people so far amongst the numbers have been about two thousand young men and one thousand relatively young full it. deaths which are about a million up to twenty fifties eighty percent of those additional premature deaths are people coat the age between forty and sixty so as you get older if they do not change if harder lives and sticks the treasury is almost already priced in the early deaths thus you knowing that the budget of the united kingdom is doing better than it might have been thanks to people dying oh yes yes the budget was well here's a put these in addition facts found out that they produce their liabilities by feet

under and then billion pounds because of their own estimates of the effects of this . pension funds actually in the financial times it was almost celebrated as look we're solvent that but it's all phonies. and the problem is that as this kind of news is drip count over the years it was the ninth completely in two thousand and twelve thirteen and then going to fish began to go very quiet in fourteen or fifteen sixteen but as we slowly become to realize that this is not crying wolf is as really happened i mean is that we've become used to it and maybe that's why it's so bad because we're such apply a population that we are willing to accept the most important thing in life our health be damaged by how our government behaves ok well just finally aside from so the rating the deaths that make the british public accounts do better you know one of the world's greatest experts on housing surely was celebrating the extra forty four billion pounds that the government as announced for building three hundred thousand new homes a year. they've announced this kind of thing many many times over and there comes

a point. just lisa's trust in the announcements. if they had wanted to do something they would have actually done it by now what they mainly do in the change in stamp duty is was one example of this. if they were to try to keep house prices as high as possible and they do that because they believe that the most economically successful city in the world is the most expensive city in the wild which is london and the cost of housing part of the actual economic success until they get out of that mindset and so they can win that's what matters is how well people are. living out happy that living actually say why are you not addressing the things that we you know a bunch of good out the next tory m.p. on this show will. disagree with your president only thank you and that's it for the show will be back on saturday it was journalist for this a b the following the recent protests in syria it's razor maze government will ever stop funding groups which supported the destruction of new york's twin towers on nine eleven till then

people top five social media with you on saturday thirty years to the day of the beginning of the first intifada against the illegal u.k. backed israeli occupation of palestine including the disputed city of jerusalem where in the past twenty four hours donald trump has signaled his intention to move the u.s. embassy from tel aviv. but politicians to. put themselves on the line they did accept the reject. so when you want to be president. or somehow want to. have to go right to be

probably three of them or can't be good for sure. gets the most help from its jerusalem counterparts i don't think there's some of those who. wish to know when you could give us a. i know it is unfair advantage to have this lady in the muscle that you had identical tedium of doesn't seem to do more. but result. run run run. as.

donald trump officially recognize israel the move is already being fiercer has been defeated there.
