up with david similar mondays in a moment or two, but for now, an investigation by newsnight and the bmj the supreme court's decision to overturn roe vs wade a year ago. this programme has learned that an independent panel reviewing the paper, resigned from the britishjournal of psychiatry after their recommendation to withdraw it, was not followed. here's kate. this story ripples across the atlantic. in the us it asks whether public policy is based on sound research. without that, we are adrift and rudderless and we endanger the lives and wellbeing of the public. in the uk it questions how legal threats may influence science. slightly chilling, really, if science can be shut down that way. i think science should be adjudicated based on science. the two are connected by a scientific paper produced in 2011 by us psychologist professor priscilla coleman. it pulled together previous research to conclude women who have been through an abortion have an 81% increased risk of mental health problems. over the last year, as abortion access has been rolled back across the us, it has been regularly

there is a motivation for bmj to keep the short-term rate low.s of long-term rate, let's just say even if long-term rates start to increase, the doj changes, and a multi-class context, the real premium versus the 10 year government bond will be relatively high. >> i think you guys describe yourselves as patient opportunists. tell us more. quite sure. we are preserving dry powders as we are expecting price adjustments started to come through. as a matter of fact, we are starting to see some of these pricing adjustments coming through an australian offices. 15 to 30% discount. for us, we are the impatient optimists looking for these opportunities. especially -- we are in a position of a funding gap. there are owners who are looking to additional leverage. we see credit opportunities in the capital stack. there is always a lot of talk about work from home, hybrid. i'm just wondering in terms of office demand, how are you looking in asia, markets have been feeling in hong kong. we would like to see vacancy rates remain elevated. >> across the region,

in terms of the bmj, they have been very careful. it does not make sense for the boj to announce a move beforehand. they are very careful about it. keep in mind the bank of japan come even after they make a move, they can certainly keep the short-term rates low for the foreseeable future. and that is kind of a fig leaf for the bank of japan, to claim that they are keeping the policy easy, even if they tweak a bit, because it has been a source for them and for the cabinet. in our view, the upcoming meeting, tomorrow, is a live one, you know, if they don't move tomorrow, the potential as they could move in september. inflation has been moving above the target, wages are moving up here and we think the conditions are right for the bank of japan to spring a surprise, and if so, then it is going to be a good story for the yen. haidi: in the meantime, do continue to chase, you know, this fervent rally we see across japanese equities? what we see more breadth when it comes to that rally, certain equities lack the trading houses, lacked the
