i was talking to ben stokes about this only about three weeks ago.as at fault in bristol, the main fault was being out late. you know, obviously taking quite a lot of drink into them as well. he accepts that was a culture that has started to get a bit out of control and something needed to happen. in a way, he said, for him, the little thing with the best thing that could have happened because not only did it stop him from doing more things like that, it also sent a message out to the rest of the team that they can't carry on like this. obviously, alex hales didn't get the memo. simon hughes. as part of a statement in response to hales being dropped, his management company claim assurances they were given that any suspension for the off field incident could not affect his selection for the world cup have been rendered meaningless. well, hales has made six centuries in odi cricket as a powerhouse top order batsman. so will england miss him? i asked that question to former player and now cricket broadcaster isabelle westbury. who wasn't in the starting

it follows hale's involvement in an incident outside a nightclub which saw ben stokes de—selected from isa it is a serious matter, but i think in the end, partly because of his back story, which was obviously the involvement in bristol and that situation with ben stokes where he was acquitted of any illegal matter. but he was fined and suspended by the board by the english cricket board, he is still under a suspended sentence from the english cricket board from the review body that looked into that case, so he was already on borrowed time if you like, it was a second offence and i don't really think they have much of an option, i suspect that he may have wa nted an option, i suspect that he may have wanted to try out of the public domain but in the public domain, i don't think that a option. the reason for hales' suspension has not yet been publically confirmed. as part of a statement in response to hales being dropped, his management company claim assurances they were given that any suspension for the off field incident could not affect his selection for the world cup have been render

i remember when ben bernanke gave an interview to 60 minutes saying, if we had inflation, we can stop it no problem, the problem is deflation -- it is harder to stoken it is to stop. do you buy that? michael: yes. no doubt when ben bernanke was talking, that was probably in the aftermath of the financial crisis, and there were very clear risks of deflation at that point. if you look at the set up in the u.s. today where the economy is growing at full employment, whether there is much risk of deflation -- i think there is probably still more of a chance of inflation. i do think that there is this question about whether the central bank can actually generate significant inflation if they need to. you think about the u.s., they have had very accommodative monetary policy for a long time, and you have not had -- you have had core inflation, but nothing run away. there is the question about how much inflation can be generated. anna: i was looking at this chart here. .he u.s. core cpi top forecast mixed picture being painted by that. in terms of the influence trump , politics justcy does not come into the fed policy debate come of it can make appointment
