frances: here is my issue. how far we will go is a reflection of how strong the economy can accelerate. that is why omicron was such a big deal from a larger philosophical standpoint. we have to move away from this idea that we are going through one-off shocks, like a natural disaster or forest fire. to the concept that endemic covid is a smaller but semipermanent stock that reduces our risk over the long run. if that's the case, we have four or five years of this rolling epidemic. we are looking at a higher potential growth rate of the economy, and that limits how quickly we can withdraw and how far we will be able to go. jonathan: inflation is fixed. we have a deeply negative real rate in america. the conversation people are having, how much tightening do we need to see to actually see tighter policy? how much work do we need to do at the federal reserve? bob: i think that is the right question, the amount of real yield across the markets. in our view, the fed needs to get to 2%. hopefully they will get there

by now, the other big bone of contention between france and the u. k. of illegal migrants crossing the channel from the coast of france in ever increasing numbers. in the 2nd week of november, 1200 people slipped through your security patrols and crossed the channel in a single day. you're not being very effective at stopping them or you that you don't. well, come on. i mean, it takes 2 to tango here, right? a 30000 people try to pass the channel and 40 percent of them succeeded. so if you look at the story from my side, we 6, we re successfully, ah stopped 60 percent of the people trying to pass the channel. if you look and the other side of the channel, the u. k. border, right? ah, they are some measures to be taken as well. so please again, if we start playing with this numbers and the migrations to accelerate or intensify the tension on the very, very sensitive subject, i think that nobody is going to win a win win situation is to go on with the agreement between the french authorities and the u. k. authorities to find a way out of this a permanent

well, france has recorded over 100000 new cases in just a single day. what's the countries explosion in cases being blamed on when like in other places? i think of the highly transmissible omicron variant is largely been blamed for the search in cases here. you know, health experts have really kind of sounded the alarm and said, you know, the font fonts faces a critical moment and say that hospitals could also risk being overwhelmed. and another reason for those high numbers could also be increased testing. you know ahead of this holiday season, we've seen long queues at nevada trees and pharmacies as many french rush to get tested before they joined the family members. and that could partially also explain the jump in numbers. now how have the french taken to the measures already in place and the possibility of new restrictions which were now seen being introduced well, for this year in france, we've seen a regular and sustained protest against the introduction of the health boss was introduced in july. this year, and that is partly the reason why fren
