"I do. Wow, that is gutsy stuff. People should know there's absolutely no editing of the dork forest. Patrick Brady, who does the audio. He cleans it up. That's what we're looking for. We're looking for a nice wave. We're looking for the intro, the outro, and then I like him to clip out a nice teaser clip in the middle so that we can all at least get an idea of how fun the show's gonna be. So yeah, that was my methodology. So another show on the network that is currently on hiatus is called Shakespeare, it is a round tape, a round table about the classics, but originally it was a round table about going through all of the works of Shakespeare, which we did. Everything except the sonnets and potentially unsubstantiated works. So you did not go through the sonnets, which there are hundreds of I'm told. Exactly, which is part of the reason why we didn't, there's a lot of sonnets and there's only so much meat on those bones. But we did, we did every Shakespeare. We did. We did king John. We did Troy listen cressida. Wow, that's a lot of B sides. A lot of bees. And you know what? Some of the B sides are pretty good. That's cool though. Time and of Athens, surprisingly relevant today. You know, interesting to me, 'cause it's one way to get yourself to know about these things. I don't know if you've ever the Tolkien professor. I don't know if you've ever listened to him. The best, it's essentially it's a guy who used to teach Tolkien at a university. And now he has a tiny Tolkien empire of mythos and enjoying the movies and such, but the best series that he's been on the dark forest a couple of times that he's great. Okay. But he is my favorite series that he did was he broke down the silmarillion.

addressing serious failings within the peace force applications do close on the 4th of May Global news 24 hours a day on air and on Bloomberg quicktake powered by more than 2700 journalists and analysts in more than 120 countries and leann garands this is Bloomberg Tom what do you reckon the pay is for that job I would guess about what north of 200,000 pounds So it's weird because we talked about this before in the break I'm going to come clean but when summer our boss asked us in the morning I was way off I didn't expect it to be this much but the more and more I've read around it and you also said to me we need to pay our civil servants well in order to have a good job Well I think it's important yeah absolutely to pay for servants well it ensures that there is a reduced chance of corruption and you want the best people doing those kind of jobs and the London met is the biggest police force in the country and of course it includes crucial areas like terrorism as well So I think it's important to pay these people well but clearly the Met has a lot of work to do It's faced a number of crises under the former head and so whoever takes on this role is going to have a major job ahead of them They need to be compensated as well but they also need to make sure that they're hitting the targets Yeah that's absolutely right That was my line of thinking really So in this job advert it says it's become evident that significant answer sustained improvements need to be made within the Met to rescue public confidence in the peaceful so whoever takes on this job is going to have a big task ahead of them and will watch out to see when that does happen but obviously dame cressida dick came under lots of fire for various things happening in the Met police but did resign and now let's see what happens but I think 293,000 pounds a year is not a bad salary Root and branch reform is what many people are calling for when it comes to the Met Let's check in on your markets It is currently 6 of 47 a.m. here in London The handover from Asia pretty solid up 8 tenths of a percent across the benchmark MSCI Asia Pacific Japan performing very well the nikkei up more than 1% And you've seen a rally in shares on Mainland China up almost 2% on the CSI 301.8% on the bets that the PBOC policymakers they will step up their support for the economy That's even as the president by the way Xi Jinping comes out and just reinforces his determination to continue with the controversial COVID zero policy The futures here in Europe are pointing to gains of around 8 tenths of a percent U.S. futures the S&P E minis pointed gains of three tenths of 8% after a solid session on Wall Street yesterday So the S&P and the NASDAQ doing pretty well of a percent after a solid session on Wall Street yesterday So the S&P and the NASDAQ doing pretty well Bonds were bid yields were lower It looks like we're going to have a solid session today at least as things stand Let's get more then on the market developments and we square up to the inflationary pressures and the tightening by central banks We've seen that again today from the bank of Korea bank of Canada as well Martin Muller co head Swiss and global equity at union bonker preview joins us this morning Martin good morning Let's start then with what we saw yesterday in the bid for bonds and the rally particularly in the tech sector is it your view that maybe the sell off on the bond market is now reached its peak Hi good morning I think indeed we have seen a very very sharp sell off year and at least some stabilization or even short term counter reaction is quite possible We have seen that also during last year for instance when we had a very strong start to the year in terms of year development beginning of the year And then towards August we were all the way back to levels closer to like 1% I don't think it would be all the way like this again But it could well be that we are taking a bit of a break here If indeed inflation is not breaking all the records all the time that we have seen over the last couple of months Is it peaking in your view I think we have the first tentative signs for it On the other hand when I'm talking bottom up to companies and we do a lot of company meetings in our in our team we are still hearing from companies that they try to increase prices that they have in the producer price index running ahead of the CPI over the last 12 18 months and that they are still in the process of increasing prices You have seen the Amazon announcement this morning and I think there is still more to come actually from the corporate side On the other hand we are running against the famous comparables that are getting more difficult year over year to put even higher rates on the inflation So I would still expect to have high inflation numbers for a while but I think investors are much more open now to discuss the situation that we are closer to the peak that they are looking for kind of easing elements and that is certainly a change in the overall narrative towards towards inflation And once we see numbers coming down from the kind of 7 8% level towards 6 5 four and a half still high numbers compared to the last couple of years But going into the right direction then And you talk about those price increases and the ability for some of the.

"And on cressida dick herself, there were some comments if you like after the flurry of the announcement that started to reflect on, perhaps an irony of a man getting rid of the first woman to run the metropolitan police, a man saying she hadn't done enough. What do you make of that just as that particular point? So I am a fan of the in terms of what she has tried to deliver that actually if you're not delivering on what communities would want to see, then actually that is the mayor's that is the most thing to come in and say, look, you know, communities are not happy. There's a lot of confidence. The lowest it's been for years that actually that conversation needs to be had. And if you're not delivering, then actually, then it's right and proper that, you know, that should be said. And if the decision is then that she decides to resign, then so we need to have someone that comes in and understands the issues and puts those actions into place immediately. Do you think though there has been enough credit for her achievements and for what she was able to do, it's also been commented that she did have her term extended. I think there has been, you know, I don't think any police officer comes in to accept credit for doing the work. So in terms of that, I don't think there's that she'd want to think that there's been afforded to her. You come in, you do the best job that you are able to do. And then, you know, if people aren't satisfied, then you make a decision on that. But yeah, I don't think, I think people accept that she's building for 40 years. She's given a good service. But again, this probably was a bridge too far. I don't know. Misogyny was at the heart of a lot of the revelations recently there have been laid. Certainly I heard as the Met commissioner..

"Well, do you think we've caught up? Okay. How have we still got a long way to go here in the UK? Who? In terms of representation on screen? Why do you think we're so far behind the states? I think at the moment it was quite politically. I think there's a problem. Around the world with politics. And I think that's impeding the business has been shut down for two years. So I'm not going to negate it in any way, but I do think there needs to be more diversity on TV with regard to comedy with regard to ethnicity with regard to all these kinds of things that England needs to step up to the plate. I mean, there's a million black shows in America. You don't have that here. And it needs to change. I wanted to ask you a bit about the soul music here in the 70s and actually being there at the time. And in lots of ways, had stood the test of time. What did it feel important at the time when you were there? Actually, we were all working musicians. So it never occurred to us that we would that our music without live us. I mean, we would be recording in LA and Stevie Wonder would call or Maurice from earth wind and fire and he would say, come on, when you guys finished the Giorgio moroder, we'll see you at law school's chicken and waffles. And we would go there and we would eat and we would talk about it. I'll say to you remember, and they were recording that. Stevie was recording this. There was a camaraderie. Gladys Knight would pop in. There was a camaraderie with all of these groups that still exist today. I mean, I could call them now on my phone. Or vice versa. And I think that we withstood the test of time because the music is still loved so loved by the public. Indeed, did you ever meet Bette Davis? She died yesterday. That iconic Bette Davis, Miles Davis. No, you got me..

"What? So we just bought something out. So basically what we're doing at the moment is when we go to a meeting, you have to obviously let whoever know where you're going. Especially someone who you're who's nearby even if it's a family or a friend, that might be nearby. And as soon as we get in the meeting, we have to check in to say that we're here we're all okay. And then we also check in midway through the meeting. And if you don't have a midway through tech and you haven't sent that text over then that's when alarm, I will start raising. But have you ever had anything? Have you ever had anything happen? No, never had anything to happen, but you know you don't actually know. I think you can never be too prepared for it because there's some awful people out there and I just don't think we don't want to take any risks with anything. Because as well as showing properties to people, I mean, amazing properties, Sophie, you are also cold calling, what by walking streets aren't you to try and get these properties as listings? Yeah, yeah, that's correct. Obviously, for us, it's very important for us to build our social media platform. But when we go out prospecting, you know, it is quite difficult for us to be able to get properties on, but at the end of the day, how we sort of see it in our eyes is that a seller employs an agent to do one thing and that sell the property. And there is hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of properties that are sitting out there on the market, you know, they're losing value, and their agents are just quite frankly not selling the property. So they're the properties that we try to target. And by implementing all of our strategies, we end up selling these properties in the best time frame and very well. And you are all incredibly glamorous. The boys and the girls have to say how important is it for you to be dressed as sharply as you are. I really do.

"How you remember him because you were 15 when he was released on this day from robben island. How much contact did you have with him before he was released? I saw him twice before he was released. And I was the first time I saw him I was 8 years old. That's a time when they do that way with the age restrictions. And we saw him through a glass and we kissed him through a glass. And I just remember my grandfather asking me at that time if I had a boyfriend, and I said to him, granted I'm way too young to have a boyfriend. And you know, he just wanted to know interesting things about our daily lives, I think at that point. But when he came out we spent a lot more time with him, I mean, he was just an engaging human being. He was a great storyteller. And you know, I think we had to sort of re-educate him into society if you will, because he didn't know certain things. A lot of things had changed by the time he came out of prison. And you are the daughter of Evelyn, who was Nelson Mandela's first wife. But you were brought up by your grandma. I'm really, I mean, we're on woman's hour now to queenie. So let's talk about how important the matriarchs in your family were. They were crucial in my family. You know, people don't know that my grandmother is a one that paid for my grandfather's education for him to go to law school and become a lawyer. So the Nelson Mandela that people know today would not necessarily exist with that his first wife Evelyn, and because my grandmother was a breadwinner at that point in time. After what did your grandmother do? She appeared for a school fees. How much did she do to pay for them as the budget? She was a nurse. So she was able to generate an income for her family. In support of family financially. It's incredible to think about. And you're a large family complicated family. Your granddad was married three times, had 6 grandchildren, sadly only three are still. 6 children,.

"And I think the problem with what I've seen with Chris the deck is that the police officers serving underneath her have a lot of confidence in her. And her first kind of approach is to gain the loyalty of her officers. And that's probably the reason why she has managed to get to the top of policing. Where so many women are kept from it because she works very hard to get the trust of the officers that she's working with and the respect to the officers she's working with. The problem is that she is not keeping her eye on the ball as a leader of what concerns the public. And so when she spoke out in the example, Jamie gave describing cousins as a role and she was not hearing what was going on. What people were saying about this is not just one bad Apple. This is many bad apples. And she is not, she is not speaking out and she is not addressing misogyny. And again, that may be partly because she's a woman that she steps aside from the issues that directly affect women and she's been very disappointing in that respect in terms of identifying misogyny in policing as a problem. Is cresta dick the problem or is the Metropolitan Police the problem? The problem is policing. It's not just metropolitan policing. It's policing across the country..

"And you're getting the recruitment process where you're getting people that are drawn to power and not public service. Like none of us would go and apply for a job on the Met right now because of all of the horrible press. On Monday, Christina O'Connor, the daughter of des O'Connor told the BBC about her experience with the Met police after she was a victim of a crime, near her house, and she described how a police officer took the opportunity to be inappropriate when she reported it. And Christina joins us now to tell us about it and welcome to our Christina, just remind us what happened to you. Sure, so I was mugged in the middle of the day, not far from my own doorstep. When I went to the police station, the police officer that was dealing with my case and my statement took the opportunity to come on to me and sort of make crude sexual advances and then the following day he followed that up with a series of really inappropriate and predatory emails, and when I sort of called him out on it, he said that coming on to victims was positively encouraged. It was all part of the friendly face of the Met police and that it was the it was the rejection that was frowned upon. Horrendous situation for you to have to deal with. So what's your reaction to questioned resignation? Well, I mean, it's a start, but I don't feel that Chris had a dick can be made a scapegoat. I don't think her leaving solves the problem. She might have she might have stood down, but I think the institutional misogyny racism and discrimination just remains the issues don't die with her. I think the Met needs serious institutional and cultural reform. As well as probably a commissioner that beholden to this government that we have. Christina, thank you for taking the time out to speak to us this morning. I'm now going to go to Zoe billingham former her majesty's inspector of constabulary, which is a police watchdog. So at very good morning, is this a case of poor leadership poor judgment or just an impossible task. I think crestor is a very strong leader.

Today, I'll be speaking to Marie penman, who made a decision to quit her job when her employers football team race rovers signed David goodwill to play for the team, even though he was found to have raped a woman in a Scottish civil case in 2017. She took a stand for something she believed in. A bold move that cost her her job. So this morning, I want to be inspired by your stories of taking a stand. We want to hear from you. When you've mentally weighed up the cost to yourself and spoken out because it matters to you, it's a matter of your integrity because you know if you don't say anything, nothing will change, whether it's in the workplace, finally finding the courage to speak to your manager about the way you've been treated or standing up for someone else or finally telling someone they've been mispronouncing your name for months. So many of us let things slide because we're way up the options and often we think and we have thought it's just easier to say nothing, which is why people get away with casual sexism and racism. But we're seeing the conversation change and more and more people are speaking out publicly. And I'd like to know how this is affecting you. Has it boosted you to do the same? Or maybe you've made a big decision about your own life and how you choose to live it. Have you become a vegetarian or alcohol or finally split up from your partner? Or let's send with a positive, you've plots up the courage to ask someone out and love is in the air.

"A look at what else is happening in the news. The head of London's police service cressida dick is leaving her post, following a number of damaging controversies. China has stopped buying beef, dairy products and beer from Lithuania as a row deepens over the Baltic states ties with Taiwan. And French media reports that the virologist lute Montana, whose credited with helping to discover HIV has died at the age of 89. To stay tuned to Monaco 24 throughout the day for more on those stories. But first, Russia and Belarus are taking part in joint military drills as diplomatic talks to avert the looming crisis over Ukraine continue. Meanwhile, the U.S. president Joe Biden has said that all American citizens remaining in Ukraine should leave the country immediately. Well, joining me now from Minsk is the Belarusian journalist franak vehicle, franak also serves as an adviser to Belarusian national leader in opposition. And also joining us on the line from Kyiv is monocle's news editor Chris charmer. Chris a very big development overnight. What exactly has President Biden said? So hydrogen. Yes, Joe Biden, I mean, big in the sense of just how strong his words were. He essentially did urge all American citizens to leave Ukraine saying this was an incredibly dangerous moment, of course, that as he put it things could go crazy quickly and that the Ukraine was dealing with as he said one of the largest armies in the world on the Russian side, the exercises that you were alluding to at the top between Belarus and Russia. It should be said that the U.S. compared to other countries U.S. UK, Canada has already also urged, for example, non-essential staff from its embassy to leave Ukraine. So in that sense, this is not necessarily something that new other countries have not yet put that kind of call in place, including the European Union, for example. And Ukraine is generally criticized, the U.S. for being quite as strong if you will in its cause for people to leave the country saying the situation is not that imminent, and that's what they've said at least in the past. But the timing, of course, of Joe Biden doing this in an interview with NBC News late last night, you know, does certainly send a message that the western leaders are worried. Chris, you stuck in Kyiv with COVID, you can't leave. How does that make you feel? Well, I'm actually at the very tail ends to be honest. So in that sense, I should be able to leave quite soon. But at that said, you know, we've talked about it a lot on this show and other shows before Georgina, that Ukrainians here have lived with this tension for such a long time that I have to say, I can't help, but be partly in that Ukrainian mindset, if you will, that yes, these drills are ongoing. But I'm not necessarily a media, you know, getting this immediate feeling that I have to leave as a result of comments from the outside. You know, the situation is still sort of what we've expected and many other analysts are saying, they wouldn't expect necessarily invasion in the coming days. It could still be a week a couple of weeks away if it happens at all because no decision to actually invade has been made. So I'm kind of still going with that. I have to say, I also, in terms of my own feelings, but it's been interesting to live in this dual reality as many Ukrainians call it here. Let's come to you. I mean, military drills themselves are not out of the ordinary. What is it about this particular exercise that's concerning the west. Or this there are many different weird things about the exercise, first of all, these are the biggest exercises since Cold War air in Belarus, according to NATO more than 30,000 people came to Belarus with a lot of different equipment tanks, air missiles systems. And of course, for Belarusians, so who got used to live in peaceful, more or less stable country. It's quite concerning and shocking. And of course, everything about this exercise is being made in full secrecy. So basically we are trying to collect these by piece information about exercise, what's going on where the equipment is being based and no one neither main score Moscow can explain us what's happening. We don't want in the end this Russian troops will stay in Belarus and will say, okay, we are here forever. And I mean, also, there were drills recently in September, it would seem very odd to have drills again quite so soon. Indeed, indeed, but you know every year we have drills with the Russia primarily, sometimes Aston joins Armenia Serbia. So Belarusians in general, they got used to the drills happening every one or two years, but I also participated when it was in army in such drills, we were fighting according to the legend against the west against Ukraine and Poland, and I remember I was very defense and we ended in the drop in the nuclear bomb on Warsaw. So finally, we won. In this imaginary scenario, but in general, it's horrible that this militarization becomes normality in the society. I mean, Chris, are Ukrainians countering this with their own exercises. Yes, they are. And that might be something that's a little bit more unprecedented if you will. As phrenic was saying there are these kinds of exercises between Belarus and Russia on the one hand, unprecedented on the other hand, they have happened before, but Ukraine is conducting its own military exercises in parallel essentially this time. And that simultaneous nature does mark a departure from the past where they haven't necessarily wanted to instigate something or give Russia or Belarus an excuse when military drills are happening. It should be said similar to what's happening Belarus Ukrainian Ukrainian defense ministry has not given too many details of the nature of the excises exercises themselves, but it is clear they've talked about this being a mirror image exercise if you will at the same time that the exercises are happening in Belarus. So it is a clear signal in that sense that they are ready for any eventuality. I mean, meanwhile, though, diplomacy continues. What are the latest on the talks in Berlin? Oh, I don't have any update on toxin Berlin. Because we are focused on the other reason we are trying actually to get Belarus into the talks and make world leaders discussed not only Ukraine, but also be others because sometimes we feel like we are already given up we are already abandoned and this presence of so many troops from Russia is not a question of big concern for world leaders, but only server into a brain which of course is important, but our interest to be included into talks in Berlin and other capitals. And I mean, Chris is our Ukrainian leaders in those talks. Yes, so Ukrainian leaders were in talks in Berlin with one of the leaders I should say Ukrainian officials were in talks in Berlin with Germany and France and Russia. And this was essentially about the Minsk accords about eastern Ukraine peace and eastern Ukraine, something that French president Emmanuel Macron said could be a key to resolving this crisis. It should be said the talks have not gone anywhere. Russia accused the U.S. and Ukraine of want to change the terms of the deal and there may be some truth to that, this deal has always been very unpopular in Ukraine, which kind of views this deal that they should give semi autonomy to Donetsk and Luhansk in the east. As something that was forced upon them at one of their weakest moments, if you will back in 2015..

I'm having trouble even like coming up with the where where his mind was that when he said that was he saying i think the i guess the most charitable version is saying like. Well he's dead so there's not much to say about it anymore kind of thing if you wanted again. The most charitable version is a sort of him trying to end the conversation.
