stephen: is the king dollar back again?o you see dominance where we start to have central banks moving in different directions? >> the u.s. economy has a lot more tolerance of high interest rates than other economies in the world. we are still in an environment of tightening hiking interest rates then it's going to be the dollar able to lead and others as they try to follow, they will start to find reasons why they can't follow with interest-rate policy and their own small crises will start to emerge. the dollar will lead i believe in the fx market. alix: what happens with the u.k. economy? where does it fit into all this? >> the u.k. is like version of the u.s. without, it has the consumption dynamics of the u.s.. it doesn't have the strength in the currency like the dollar has. it is hindered by structural things such as brexit. a poor man's u.s. economy, same dynamics. the bank of england is going to be further behind the curve than the fed because they have a lot of concerns, they perceive the economy to be weaker than

stephen: no doubt.inancial conditions ease, in some ways it is a self equivalent in process. from the fed's perspective, even if you get somewhat weak economic data inflation might prove stickier stubborn and that is a scenario that the market has been reeling -- willing to contemplate much. tom: thank you so much. we are diving into the data, michael mckee, is this time it is different? mike: i will give you a good reason to be optimistic so we can go home and forget about the fed. the super number comes in at .27, so .3 percent gain during january compared to a .37 to the month of december. take out housing and as stephen says you have 40% that you are whacking out of the cpi in terms of the core and you have progress. we are still seeing some gains. lisa: isn't this too cute, especially if you look at the assets? you strip out everything and you get what you get. on one level i understand and on the other label -- level you have seen re-inflation areas including a whole host of different metrics. so

stephen: i do.ks used to be merchant banks, now they are just banks. a large private equity firm can become a merchant bank branching out into debt services, branching out into selling and buying companies. i think those private equity firms will continue to go in that direction. tom: stephen pagliuca with us, owner of the boston celtics in a moment. we stay on global wall street. i love what you say about the merchant banks have become a regular banks, whether it is goldman sachs or frankly every other bank is a competitive effort to keep the spirit going. some would say mr. solomon at goldman sachs has stumbled. did he overreach by doing something that culturally did not fit goldman sachs when he and others invented targets and consumer banking efforts? stephen: i think nobody can get it perfectly. i think they identified the wealth management market was a great market. part of the issue is, we have seen this great change in interest rates now which has made it a comfort strategy. goldman has a go

i'm stephen sackur.thquakes that rocked southern turkey in early february not only caused a humanitarian disaster, they exposed cracks in president erdogan�*s carefully crafted image as turkey's indispensable leader. amid the ruined cities, and the anguish of millions of displaced people, basic government competence is being tested. my guest is long—standing erdogan critic, the exiled turkish writer ece temelkuran. a presidential election is looming. does the opposition have what it takes to end the erdogan era? ece temelkuran, welcome to hardtalk. thank you, stephen. your country is grappling with a humanitarian crisis of unimaginable scale. the death toll has now well passed 40,000, millions are displaced, and the government is saying that this is a time for national unity and solidarity. for you, as a very prominent critic of president erdogan, can you at least share that sentiment? well, there is a national unity. unfortunately, the government is out of this unity. they have to connect with people ri

now on bbc news, hardtalk with stephen sackur. welcome to hardtalk. i'm stephen sackur. select few people amongst us have personal stories which stir compassion, admiration and solidarity, and one of them is my guest today — waris dirie, the somali—born model, writer and activist. she was raised in poverty, the daughter of a nomadic herdsman. she became the muse of fashion houses in new york and paris, but she chose campaigning over the catwalk, speaking out against female genital mutilation, which she experienced and is now determined to eliminate. it is an issue about patriarchy and power, so is this a fight she can win? waris dirie, welcome to hardtalk. thank you. yours has been a life of extraordinary change and extraordinary contrasts. i just wonder, now you look back on your childhood, does it seem a very great distance away or does it still feel close and intimate? i would say far away. somehow, it seems so far, my life. if i look back or think back, ifeel like i've been here quite a while in this planet, really. it's maybe because i've done so much, so fast, that

well, let's turn back let's turn back to stephen a douglas douglas. douglas often gets forgotten, as reg pointed out in the lincoln-douglas debates, there was someone else there. and, you know, it's interesting to think about wartime politics. douglas is the most important northern democrat in that era. and then he dies in june of 1861. and i think that's part of what contributes to the fracturing of the democratic party. in his final few months of life before dying in june of 61, at the age of 48. he was out there campaigning for union and giving speeches, trying to rally people to support the union cause, telling lincoln he supports lincoln in in this fight for union. how i think that's often forgotten. how douglas been remembered in history. well, all of us love abraham lincoln. and if we have a civil state in this nation, it is abraham lincoln. and i think in the union. yeah. politics as in church as in religion and so on. there's an ultimate good and there has to be an ultimate evil because lincoln chased douglass so long and douglass was so stro
