from the evil institute for economic research this deal is being signed i should point out in the middle of the night china time which would tell me beijing is trying to keep this under the radar they the big losers here i don't think that they are to begin with there is not another big loser think it's more a case file in this ongoing trade dispute it might be a little victory for the trump ministration but now for a 30 year after reelection of donald trump there is this problem more or less but it's far away from a far reaching and comprehensive trade deal european and japanese officials are also in washington right now are they banking on trump wanting to be seen as brokering deals. well it's i mean to trump has made clear that they are not interested in pure protectionism they have signed agreement with japan renegotiated nafta and the us korea agreement now does little phase one deal with china i think you should be the next part in this in this entire puzzle but it's good that there are negotiations and not additional tariffs anymore and election is on the way in the u.s. so i gues

sort of united nations for central banks — said this week it's looking into launching a digital currency. rachel statham is economic analyst at the institute for public policy researchk and shejoins me now. thank you forjoining us. it feels like cashless is a runaway train and it is changing so fast. we had that forecast 9% of cash used by the end of the decade but will it be even that much? yes, we can see the shift away from cash is definitely something that is inevitable but what we are calling for is action to shape how the transition happens and make sure it works for the blues don't rely on cash across the uk put by international standards, the uk transition is faster than other countries, particularly other european nations. although the prospect of a fully cashless uk is not on the horizon immediately, we will see quite a substantial shift in the next ten years so it's important that government, regulators and financial service providers are getting ahead and thinking about how to make sure the transition can be shaped to make sure everyone is transition can be shaped to make sure everyone is included. what you're saying is government needs to put the brakes

research associate at oxford institute for energy studies gas program. so let's start with the new pipeline turkey and russia seem to be cementing their alliance when it comes to economics will that be able to withstand though the political divergence over issues like libya syria and so on well when it comes to gas exports from russia to turkey the political dimensions or even put in the political tensions that exist or existed before we witnessed that did not affect and so far is not affecting that issue like exporting natural gas from russia to turkey because this is an interdependent issue and turkey as much as much as russia is dependent on export and import of natural gas or of her if you all goes according to plan this means ultimately last transit for the ukraine right how painful is that going to be for their economy while they're saying is not that bad for your crane because at least ukraine managed to keep it turns it so it's country which could have not been happen as an option so this happened and that's a good news for ukraine ukraine also will get more than 7000000000 on the from the from transit and next 5 years and also ukraine kept to 2900000000 as a re

hairs on research fellow at the german institute for global and area studies thanks so much for coming in this morning. can you tell us are there similarities between the political and economic crises and protest movements we're seeing and just heard about in the south america. yeah i think there are indeed similarities in spite of the differences between the south american countries. i have often heard. journalists speak about inequalities and that in american countries that led to the protests but i think this is not. enough as an explanation for the protests. another important factor. the strive for a. democrat to say show off let an american country. and there's a place to i think all the countries that are involved at the moment and protests and it involves also. yeah a struggle between the old and new elites. not not necessarily left and right which i categories that blaring a bit. but yeah it involves civil societies that are pushing for democratic change ok one place where this really happened is it is in chile and in chile a student groups of young people are often at the forefront of the of the protests there are they tapping into a broader dissatisfaction with wit
