Well, after we spoke to Joshi today, Ukraine's energy operator said that a fire from Russian shelling has effectively cut off the zapper Asian nuclear plant from the country's power grid. And we will continue to follow this story. It's here and now. These days, businesses are just getting used to not always known what is going on. Business hates uncertainty and yet look at the stock market. I'm Kai rizal. We'll try to keep up and help you do the same. Next time on marketplace. This evening at 6 30 on 90.1.

It was a rare attack on a foreign diplomatic mission in Afghanistan. The Islamic State group claimed responsibility. Germany's president has apologized for failures by his country, surrounding the 1972 attack on the Munich Olympics. President Frank Walter steinmeier joined Israeli president Isaac Herzog to lay wreaths at the site where 11 Israeli athletes were killed by Palestinian militants at the game's 50 years ago. Germany acknowledged poor security and denial of what happened. The zapor isha power plant in Ukraine was knocked off the electricity grid today

"Yeah, I mean, it's tough because if we were getting nothing, then that would be frustrating too, right? But as it is, we get a leak here and a leak there and it's from this side or that side and you never know and is it comprehensive and are you finding out about just whatever tidbit or morsel, this reporter happened to hear about and we're just not hearing about most of the things in the deal and so you follow it in this way tweet by tweet and it's hard when you're in the weeds like that to really have a holistic sense of where things stand and what the movement has been, so I'm sure all of the reporters who've been reporting on this have been doing the best that they could too. Oh yeah. It's tough. I mean, it's behind closed doors for a reason. It's supposed to be. So it would be okay if it were all just totally secret, I suppose, but imagine if we'd gotten nothing over the past three or four months in some ways that would have been more maddening and in some ways less maddening because it's just like it seemed like every time that this deal was close to the finish line, there'd be a tweet that was like, well, they were close and then MLB said, oh, and also we want you to give up this grievance, which is another thing that happened right pandemic era grievance that the players had filed that one. They surrendered here. Yes. They still maintained earlier grievance. Multiple grievances. So one of those grievances is still active the 2018 one about the four teams that hadn't been spending their revenue sharing bucks seemingly. But, you know, it just seemed like there was always a writer attached at the last second or at least it was often framed that way, which would be immensely frustrating if that reflected the reality, but again, it's tough because we're getting one side of the story here and another side of the story there and none of us was actually in the room when it happened. So it's tough to tell sometimes. Yeah, it can be a little tricky to tell. Speaking of changes, do you like my segues? Yeah. So a couple of rule changes in addition to the designated hitter. I think this one is going to be a favorite among players, particularly relievers who have been up and down a bunch of teams can only option a player to the minor 5 times in a single season in an effort to sort of curb the experience of people like St. Louis head who just never knew where he was going to be sleeping on the given day. We've done interviews and stat blasts. Yeah. Record numbers of being demoted and promoted. So I think that that's a step in the right direction from a quality of life perspective and one that is unlike other sort of quality of life improvements in prior CBAs really targeted it guys on the fringe of the roster. So I think that that's good. And then players have agreed to a 45 day window to implement new rules in the off season, their prior sort of notice period had been a year. And this one, I think, is it got some play on Twitter, but I think it's useful for us to sort of delineate how this is different from prior instances, the league has always tried, I think, to get the buy in of players when it makes rule changes, but with sufficient notice, they're allowed to make unilateral changes. So I know that some folks looked at the committee that is going to consider these rule changes, which will now consist of four active players, 6 league representatives and one umpire and thought, well, that slanted toward the league and if that is sort of offensive to you, philosophically, I think that that's fine. You can find that troublesome, but it doesn't meaningfully different. I don't think from prior instances of the CBA and it does formalize the participation of active players in a way that hopefully will be productive to those conversations if they can. Really be focused on the different perspectives that need to be represented there. So that's sort of where we sit with rule changes, obviously we can anticipate that they might after the 2022 season. Again, these are only off season changes and they specifically set this stuff starts in 2023, but we might anticipate a pitch clock based size changes, defensive positioning stuff, the automatic ball strike zone, all of that will sort of be on the table. But none of those rule changes are guaranteed and none of them will take place in the 2022 season. So the only real on field rule change is going to be the DH. So for 2022, I should say. Yeah, so we get a year we're part of a year to persuade people that we don't actually have to bring the shifts. Joshi is just going to tweet about this every single day. We talked about that last time. I direct people to wrestle carleton. Yes. Article where he points out that the impact seemingly would be pretty minimal and is not, I think, worth the philosophical sacrifice that you're making there. But yeah, two MLB's credit, which is not a phrase that we have had occasion to say all that often lately, they have held off on making some of these changes unilaterally, which they could have, right? I mean, we could have had a pitch clock by now if MLB had just said, hey, we are imposing this a year from now like it or leave, right? And they have not done that because, well, maybe partly because the CBA was coming up and they knew it was going to be contentious as it was. And they didn't want to inflame players passions any further, but this is something that I have misgivings about, but ultimately, I think, is probably a good thing. It has to change certain things have to change and I do understand the player's position. There are conditions that might work place that I wouldn't want someone to come in and say, hey, this is going to be different now. So adjust. I get it. I get why they're resistant. And it's not necessarily just hey, this is the way we've always done it. And I'm comfortable doing it that way, but they may have other valid concerns about health or whatever, favoring certain types of players, training, who knows what, but I think there has to be somebody that is making changes to the sport to adjust to the way that it is played now. And maybe in a perfect world, it would be some sort of neutral arbiter that decided that. But I think MLB, you have to have a league that can step in at certain times and say, hey, players are acting in a certain way because it benefits them and teams are acting in a certain way because it benefits them, but none of this benefits the fans, and so there has to be someone who steps in and says, well, we're tweaking the settings and now you all have to adjust. So obviously, I hope it's settings.

"Emphasis was placed on success within women's divisions and promotions. Good to see you jason. Ps three welcome so so as you probably heard by now the number one pick here for for the for the list of the one fifty by the way first year. That list is at one hundred and fifty. It was at one hundred last year and was boosted up to fifty and even at one fifty something that's important to underscore even at one hundred and fifty. There were some very difficult decisions that we had to make at some point. We're like who you know. Who are we leaving off. The list at some point was just. It was a extremely tough despite having a hundred and fifty spots for women to be like wow known. We're gonna raise a few here okay. It was really tough but bianca blair tops the list at number one And you know the here. let me. i'll rattle off the top five in case you don't know in case you're not aware yet beyond kabeer was at a topless number one number two was tommy. Hi ashta number three was gonna paraiso number four brick baker and number five thunder rosa before. I say anything individually about all five. I want this is what i'm really really proud of. Last year's one hundred was entirely the top five was made up of. Wwe women you know just was wwe women and this year. We'll go we have we have. Wwe we have impact we e w and we have stardom. We've got some some joshi representation and tommy coming in at number. Two is the highest ranked female japanese wrestler and And at number five. You've got thunder rosa. Who in my opinion represents is the perfect representation of the of the forbidden door of someone who who's wrestled everywhere right and everyone just been all over the place so on top of that. You know on top of her being extraordinarily talented. Well like. She's the perfect encapsulation of this forbidden door. Stuff that happened within the past year or so. And that's something that got me really excited. I feel like we're like the top five is really representative of how great women's wrestling has been across the board and how diverse it is as well. It's all this diversity stuff in here and you know you can always you know you always see those comments. The force this one here because they wanted. I wanted a person of color but it wasn't even forced we didn't we never had that co well. We never had that discussion. I don't wanna talk about pass lists. I wasn't on them but we never had a discussion. We were like we need to. We need to put a person of color. heroes it everything just fell into place really naturally bianca number. One made a lot of sense. And i'm not gonna lie. Listen here.

I think we are not a good choice and should perhaps Unicol this loss and there was a deep silence in the room for about a couple of minutes. And i think that that actually that pause who like we would otherwise think about in life gave them opportunity to reassess and see what was important of course next morning we call from the leader saying. Hey we've real bit everything and billeting you know what we had identified. Initially is what we want to do. The reveal able to build on closed one much sooner than we had anticipated interesting stories. Where on one side teams looking really rosie. You know it didn't and on the other side where it looked like it could have gone off track. Staying on topic had Do the best thing for for the client and for at that time an interesting contrast and no wonder so it's become somewhat of a tag you does he knows and once succumbing to a question that you just mentioned you know. The life of a product manager is in the realm of choices and prioritization. What do you use when you have to make choices of meat. Choices right or wrong is a consequence of sound decision making. And what have you learned over the years in terms of what works. Why trying to prioritize a backlog or a list of requirements no secondly and. I think this is something. I have and i think i consider myself lucky chance to work with organizations in teams of different sizes and that had access to different investment dollars. And if there's one thing that's karma you know it doesn't matter if you're google or microsoft or a startup or you know a vc funded entity dill still be finite investment to them vision that you have that mission is always going to be much larger than your investment outlook. I think that that is. Perhaps you know something that goes without the the thing i found that really works is actually some of the basic things. Maybe we'll start with read. The trouble starts with right. And we've become a crop. Where did it so much. That's happening all the time and we have got us to react to different things and respond to ask that. Come from us and bureau any people in many dimensions and sometimes those rightful and sometimes they are not any goes back to what's urgent and important and being able to look at all of that now when you're when you're building a product which is a little bit of a product. Dna dna sometimes becomes important. Are doing the right thing for your customer is often the reason why hundred equipment winston get pushed now. These may be coming from saving sooner customers or unique customers. You may have standard Who may be coming from exacts or from folks who are on the field some of it may be coming purely from. What is your ambition on the new big thing that you want to build and really you know do that. Big leapfrog ahead of the competition and be just you know pure competitive things you want to because your competition is also competing with the same nigger on a daily basis. Now how do you really make sense in all of this. Why did his amount of activity. Which happens up. I think radicalization is based on when it stopped own so being able to really look at a what is reality and what does it get visas. Business really want to go create an impact for how does that translate into my product strategy and product vision. I think an important thing that i learned that accident in the up was you can't sell what you can you. Can you can sell so really. You know being able to look at your target market on where you really going to can create an impact right now and how are they going to consume it and then be seconds. You ride trauma how is going to discover explored by to a user being able to try install us retired the entire life cycle too. I think it really is. What is the linemate with our strategy. What's alignment with our buy. It is willing to really to procure this. What's the alignment mitch. The journey our user is going to have and in that journey. What problem are we really going to solve. I think being really close to an. I like to use a three p. type formula who is the persona. What's the problem and hope Visit n if you're getting good answer for this you know. This is a good candidate for you to consider in your backlog of hundred now there may be many that go through and i think the mini- that were true trying to find a mix of some of those that can really be delighted the bottle from the keno martyrs times. They look at things. As either those which create delight which translates into array definite will off but saving and interpreting value. Some may be business as usual. You need to do it and others are going to be dissatisfied as the light lack of which is actually going to come back and hurt your holiday hurting you at the menu. Then you break it in two buckets like that. It's much easier. Then you know that you use certainly don't want anything that is a big dissatisfied off you want to create some lighters and everything else is going to be in motion. You'll always be at all eighteen twenty and there will be some ketchup you or your competitors. Doing i think if you were able to do a good job at the to the rest of it will will tend to this good tip sima. I'm sure a lot of our listeners. Who are product. Managers intending to take product. Management is critical. You will be tuning in because these are you. Do not get from somebody who is Living this life out. Thank you for that. I'd like to attack iota. little bit. sima would building teams. You said you had a lot of experience building product teams. What is it in your expedients that has taught you about a building right teams to build great products and or What is it that brings people together because a lot of product management is about legacy talking to different stakeholders different stakeholders feed the problem differently. And you want so many hats in your career as a salesperson it was important for you to close the deal as somebody who is a product manager of the customer experience the value perception of it. Plus you know working with engineering teams to make sure that you conveyed that nitric by them and building the right product. How does all this play into building a great product team. It's actually alluded job and it's not easy to be honest because it amongst different dimensions and i'm going to perhaps in a look at this in two parts. Chitra run is just building product managers and team of product managers project teams are. I mean eventually much larger because you are working so closely. It is time cross functional job. Anything for product management as a rule itself is a little niche. It's not like a lot of the rules. It's it's a role that requires someone to have a lot of ownership without to your a of authority. That's the kind of roulette. It is often folks in product management. Or you know at least two good among of courteous stages individual contributors and sometimes they have very high impact roles but they may still be begin individual contributor but you were on a daily basis influencing a lot of people around you like you said right so i think from a competency perspective for an individual as well as for the team did a two aspects which are quite key and i like to think of it often in the lens of the iceberg model of competency. What is the top. Which is often your skills in compton dizzy gemini learnable. Now these things like the domain that you operate in technology stack that you use a region that you have your client base in different regulations that you have from which need to be adhered to and so on and so forth learnable stuff under second part israeli below the iceberg and the below the iceberg. It's really about a lot of values and try it and this is this. Is the pattern part now. When it comes to a product the decision making is in in a landscape which is very ambiguous. Because you're figuring out what to do. You're figuring out where you're going to go saturday Figuring out what your competition is going to look like an attempts to be data driven but often being cognizant of the fact that data will be insufficient and it may be inaccurate unique to make a lot of decisions. I think you really need a gut where you don't feel the discomfort operating in the world. It's ambiguous your winter. After a few things you need to make some decisions you will need to say yes. No when there is no clear proxy available and most people will be looking at you to be the one who is putting your proposal on the table all of this sensory which moves us to the second part of work. You can hardly really bill this week teams because you need to do this in saturate that you are building the confidence of your sales teams building the confidence off your engineering support teams and so on an executive of course. Now i think the big scale that comes in or kicks in here really is able to create partnerships of trust in collaboration. Are you really able to look at the same situation in such a way that they are able to internalize it in the lens that is apparent to them. That's a big job. I think where you need to be able to do this individually and honestly. I think there's a lot also over the last fifteen years now. I think there's a lot interest and conversation about product management with a chance for people to know what the role is and really see that something that you enjoy and if you do we should totally you know. Jump and take the tried. I think you will. You will enjoy n. excited this. Two teams are really. I mean you end. The building team of really strong individuals were able to look at this for their respective areas. That they are driving but at the same time also collaborate in such a way. That it's like you have to take the village with you and you're taking many religious with the big distillation while really building that team. You were trying to create a balanced strategy. Where you know that you know you really good where you're able to look at where we're going from here. I re executive at the pace at which wish to the cost at which we should and in the way that we should. I think all these aspects become extremely critical than when you grow and explored that that to your larger teams just beyond who product and beyond product. Thanks that was very very interesting. The one thing that you mentioned several times in the course of this conversation was the ability to stay in the problem space. How did you begin to get comfortable thing with the problem at exploring more versus typical engineering mindset as well enough can i jump in and propose the solution or human. Get the customer. Do look at what i have to say. Okay this is how we can fix it and so on and so how do you get comfortable with staying with the problem space. Yeah i know. It's a hard world i mean in for me. Sometimes you know especially early in my career. It was like a double-whammy on one side. You know stick engineering each where you want to jump to the solution because it really looks good to be the one who says hey look i have the answer on the second side you know. Spend some time in sales in you know it was like i exactly know what this customer ones right now. Which is now when i think it was. Certainly a symptom came up more often earlier in the career. But you know being able to navigate that and a couple of things which have really helped this. I'm a big proponent of looking at anything actually for that matter from from a journey perspective. I think it's very important to be able to step back. And really look at the entire landscape is a journey. You know back in. Let's take a look at hobart design organizations and how they operate you have departments dedicated for sales marketing on indie product support services and whatnot. And now everyone they're good. Intend to the best of their capacity and interest are doing the best job of every single day to make this happen. But we're all living in silos and we're all living and working off overview of how it needs to be and then were trying to build something for the market. It becomes even more tricky. Because you're trying to. It's like this in is equal to one in any sequel remaining when you're doing it for one estimate engineering services business. It's relatively easy because they really success is about creating the most daylight experience that you possibly can for what the customer has a need for and You go ahead and achieved back or in fact exceed that and that's like a fantastic job than now come to the product. Would you are intending to do the same thing for the market. And it's not about one customer reviews about many and then you have to find out. What kind are those which is really read. It goes back to what which dog market am. I trying to go after. I've seen venue change this conversation on. This is how customer is going to take. And this is how they're going to try and push his it and were on board and use it and what not and then slipped back and look at. How is it that we as a company operates. I've seen that. It really helps you. You'll see are we doing the right things. Of course not. you won't be always able to everything with to make the right. Choices are goes up in the menu extended to Reach other problems solving even if you go back to just a feature part of what they're doing it's really about. Who is my persona. What they're trying to do and how frequently they're trying to start talking the language of a journey. It just changes. The whole thing from this is possible. It's like almost getting into a solution. Centric way saying. I can use i to be able to predict the next meeting time. And maybe the meeting between chitra and zebra and then you know we take a step back. And say hey. Chitra has been hosting a lot more grass than she does it once every exit doel and she needs so much time looking at her calendar. Looks like this is the best time to do it now. We could have done the whole fancy eric doing and maybe that would be right. But maybe it's not a locking maximum value for chitra and women who cartlidge you know solution. I says how do we stay there. We've spoken enough. We've learned about life we've learned about what is day in the life day. Zero eight hundred three hundred and to the special events. And i think that gives you a good sense of moving from unknown known of what you're trying to solve nice. I think these are. This is something that i personally heard. Very few people talk about with great dignity of expedience and conflict. If you but. I think this is so important for people to be able to be comfortable by staying in the problem. Space to develop great product. You have mentioned that having a sports mindset is something that has helped you in your career and particularly in your own as a product manager. How has that. Cuppa boat on enlighten note. You know if someone were to ask me. Can you tell. Tell me one thing that you've done right. I think my answer would be sports. I think it is wanting that i have done right in license for having been a sportsperson. I think there are a lot of a lot of who i am and how i go about things. I do the march to my early days them. I played sports for my school and later for the state for good. Among of most of these days. I think as much as it was in the class i was also in the sports ground and multiple listens. I think that came from there. I think one kind of borrowing from that to a product manager product. Managers life right and i talk about my first service. I mean in a wonderful. It's a nine eighteen meters corp and the net is certain height. I wasn't last five. I started playing house. Really you know trail in tiny views to try to hit the service across the my service would barely go even to not even the six meter line for a few weeks and then it went to the six meter line and then it going to the nine meter lines still just the line. Then one day it hit the From below and finally after think three months or so it didn't on their site just feebly. And i think i was. I was full of joy. When i look back. I don't think any of that time. I was bogged down with the fact that hit the service has not gone through. I was getting wound up. I just did what was needed to be done on. That day was to give it my best shot and if it was improving and i think that's what we do with the product you take something you give it your best shot use yvette. It's landing and then you interactivity of continue to play for for a long time off that. And i got good with the game and then i was at a stage vide- soon within practice and coaching that. I could exactly hit the service that it needed to be. Not too far not too close not too fast or if it needed to be really fast i mean i could land. It waited needed to land. I think that's what it is in the product will to you. You have an ambition but at the same time you execute one shot at a time. I think when you do it like that it removes. A lot of panic moves a lot of risk in the process but it still keeps your reentering radio. Think your room to have the maximum. The i can definitely does that. Seem up having been a basketball player myself. Thank you so much for shedding that example. I think sports has always been a good example for a lot of things and for people to comprehend. Even if you're not a sports person you'll defend watch sports and more importantly would say dean sport absolutely and in fact if you just extended to that i think if they did at any one or two keating's well again there are so many i think that you build. You always has one unit. Doesn't matter what you individually are good at no. of course we. Each sportsperson has some skills which are better than some of the others but eventually on game dates about how visa team can bring the best of what we need and on the strategy. That is going to help us on bad day. You never did security isolation and you just do it. As one unit anything the building the camaraderie and actually playing and losing. What winning as a team. I think is a big big one. It's highly competitive than most things out there but get the tendency often lemon leaving aside site cases. It's really about fair place the nam so you really are really open to be out there. You're competing in the open the performances up for everyone to look at performance reviews newsroom. It's all out there and if even is okay with that and we learned and grew. Look at the next game together. I think big big part of how you operate differently that mindset absolutely. I hope we can talk about more. Sporting analogy perhaps in future podcasts. Who knows another folded. I'll look forward to something like that. I would like to go back to one western. it's been bringing my mind. I basically grew up in my career more on the engineering side or work. I learned a lot by working with some really great product packages. We've had a tough woman's by negotiating with product managers dumbs of which features can come when what is it that customer's looking all busy Some of the things that my interest would come back to me and says you know. The just doesn't get this because if we have to meet this one change or if pre have to build this new feature. Here's what it's going to cost us to build it and talk. How have you build bridges with integrating teams. What is it that you would like to share a thousand terms of your formulas for collaborating with engineering. Deeds steps a large place where we live our lives right and this comes up often in each time. Betas news trumpeting the new product new model anywhere local jubal any combination. But i think one thing. That's been a very key part of how i have operated and i've managed to you. Don't have the best. Collaboration going and this takes time sometimes medic to release cycles because in the fourth release cycle. When you're working with a new team you're just trying to learn how people operate and even in any engineering team or even product. The every product manager the style of booking similarly everyone. You may have some things that like more autonomy. Some more collaborations some like to be like. Hey let's just exactly how we're going to do this. I will do my due to your right. And there is no right and wrong right but i think really. When you're in a product managers had it's your ownership to find out what stood them at which the team democrats. How is it that they like to get onto problems and being able to work with them in other them. That makes sense now. That seems like too much. But it's actually not it's just about being a little more empathetic listening little more and kind of funeral getting onto the table in a way that the rest of the team is on the second thing that i've always done my teams and sometimes it comes to the form of habe have problems States in the form of something may have gone a little south than you would have liked it or Purely how do we make this thing. Work best together and a big piece in making this is the product manager is waiting certain hat and he brings a certain inside through the day bill. Similarly we have an architect engineer ran. Qa ended up and you person who have their perspective which most of us are not willing to buy different seat. And i the big we have been able to see. The breakthrough comes when you have that moment of realization hill. All on one side of the table and the problem is on the other side. I think when you start approaching the problem more than the people more attacking the problem more than it seemingly challenging might team or. You're challenging me. I think it's once you're able to kind of make that shift and addressing some chronic managers can ditch be in order. Dave is again if they come from technical background orders. They come from a certain domain order. They come from a particular familiarity. Yuma feel you know the answer. And it's the same for the decided the house. If it's a product for instance. Each of us feels. I'm a prospect of using and i know exactly how my journey looks like and this is exactly how every customers went to do it. I think the best way to approach some of those would intend to should tolerate. Here's on the table but we have people to make the best choices for which decision needs to be made. I think when we start respecting that the team had we challenge each other beacon agree as much as we want to weaken disagree as much as you want to walk out of the room. The best solution. I think is really are able to have the good tension yet not get bogged down with like the way you summarized saying nice to have a good attention and not get bogged down with it. Thank you seem I notice that we coming to the end of this conversation bats Come close warped. Would you like to leave aspiring dodig managers or people want to take up a career in the area of tech with. It's an interesting we of looking at things right. I think one looking at career intact. It's actually a very wide. Universe are just with that lens right now. There are multiple things. I think The kind of businesses that are coming of the way technology is actually enabling. Different possibilities did assume any new trends strains can be driven by cutting edge innovation in the technology space or by the application to a certain industry or the application to a certain type of business. Right i mean think of the ubers and really created the platform economy that we've seen in the last decade before that. We had a lot of technology driven innovations which were mostly impacting. The way we communicated to experience is a big thing. Virtual reality is just expanding the whole thing in a different way. I think one is when you look at the role that you want to get into perhaps up sticker sabotage genetic one and then get into the product is Wins there will be things that look cool and they will be things that you believe are going to create. That impact on. Each of them has the potential to do that. But i think you know. The reason needs to be stronger than the season. Otherwise it's going to keep what is to keep changing and that's not going to be very happy situation to be in because it can seem daunting it can seem anxious or it can also seem not so way. Spots moves forward so really. Why why do you want to do what you want to do. What does it look like. What is it and what is it. Not i think becomes extremely important. Especially if you're picking on initial like product planet like i said i got onto this parts and most people i mean if you look it will yutian most companies retinitis services. Doing extremely. well be driving a lot of large business of growth for people in in that will thing but still very few product companies within companies very few product people. I remember. I used to get us the question on you know. What's the difference between the project. Management product manager amount of time. The common advise that. I often got was. Hey you know this is to do this need. You can't do it from india you need to be in the us on your put some places and sometimes the only way to do it is to do it. It's been a long journey for anyone who is looking into initials. I think it becomes important to see what's out there because initials will come with their own opportunities and there will challenges. You will certainly in your backpack need to have some extra focus on via doing what you're doing. There will be some pioneer spain on so and you will need to perceive with that because you will be figuring it out. The ecosystem is figuring it out. There is no standard of how the job is done. How it interfaces with defend entities does look like it is linked to be constant comparison majors and of full. You down if you don't like figuring it out so much like stomach getting stomaching. Maybe you want proposing things under decide if you really like a Fasttrack fat to in technology than sticking to you know more streamlined practice better but they contend to be counted and they attend to find ways to pick skills that can help you get there faster and faster. But it's really a choice for for product. Folks i think for most people who want to get into product management. My first advises for strengthening. What really does a product manager. Do and what it takes to be a good product manager and then you can decide for yourself if that's something that you will enjoy doing for the rest of your part of your career. I think very nicely put together. This is just very sound coming straight from somebody. Who's as expedients does you I'm sure a lot of people that are going to listen to. This will have a lot. To take away from your. I want to say thank you so much for giving us this time with you. I've enjoyed our conversation. Want to say a big. Thank you to be better show.

"Bit of obama renting terms that example. Interesting story again. Now you're really working with the semiconductor company. And they had global offices did in fact procured our software for their sales offices in the us and they were looking to expand the same for their support and service teams or organization. It was it was actually a different entity altogether in south east asia. Both baya's vader defend the use scenarios. Different because one was more sales that there was support services. I think that that was an buyers lesson for me. On having global stakeholders how regionally people have different ways to look at things into revaluate things even if it was the same product and the same problem that we were trying to address for the client but the baby had to do it was completely different and remember we work very closely with this particular client or in a multiple months very close to aligning with their senior leadership right up to the global ceo and they had a couple of new stakeholders who came on the project and they looked at a few things and they actually said that they wanted to a few dimensions and that quickly two of the entire evaluation so far so actually i remember going to meeting billing the customer that hey luke if if you think that you really need these three dimensions which are so different than what we've been talking about. I think we are not a good choice and should perhaps Unicol this loss and there was a deep silence in the room for about a couple of minutes. And i think that that actually that pause who like we would otherwise think about in life gave them opportunity to reassess and see what was important of course next morning we call from the leader saying. Hey we've real bit everything and billeting you know what we had identified. Initially is what we want to do. The reveal able to build on closed one much sooner than we had anticipated interesting stories. Where on one side teams looking really rosie. You know it didn't and on the other side where it looked like it could have gone off track. Staying on topic had Do the best thing for for the client and for at that time an interesting contrast and no wonder so it's become somewhat of a tag you does he knows and once succumbing to a question that you just mentioned you know. The life of a product manager is in the realm of choices and prioritization. What do you use when you have to make choices of meat. Choices right or wrong is a consequence of sound decision making. And what have you learned over the years in terms of what works. Why trying to prioritize a backlog or a list of requirements no secondly and. I think this is something. I have and i think i consider myself lucky chance to work with organizations in teams of different sizes and that had access to different investment dollars. And if there's one thing that's karma you know it doesn't matter if you're google or microsoft or a startup or you know a vc funded entity dill still be finite investment to them vision that you have that mission is always going to be much larger than your investment outlook. I think that that is. Perhaps you know something that goes without the the thing i found that really works is actually some of the basic things. Maybe we'll start with read. The trouble starts with right. And we've become a crop. Where did it so much. That's happening all the time and we have got us to react to different things and respond to ask that. Come from us and bureau any people in many dimensions and sometimes those rightful and sometimes they are not any goes back to what's urgent and important and being able to look at all of that now when you're when you're building a product which is a little bit of a product. Dna dna sometimes becomes important. Are doing the right thing for your customer is often the reason why hundred equipment winston get pushed now. These may be coming from saving sooner customers or unique customers. You may have standard Who may be coming from exacts or from folks who are on the field some of it may be coming purely from. What is your ambition on the new big thing that you want to build and really you know do that. Big leapfrog ahead of the competition and be just you know pure competitive things you want to because your competition is also competing with the same nigger on a daily basis. Now how do you really make sense in all of this. Why did his amount of activity. Which happens up. I think radicalization is based on when it stopped own so being able to really look at a what is reality and what does it get visas. Business really want to go create an impact for how does that translate into my product strategy and product vision. I think an important thing that i learned that accident in the up was you can't sell what you can you. Can you can sell so really. You know being able to look at your target market on where you really going to can create an impact right now and how are they going to consume it and then be seconds. You ride trauma how is going to discover explored by to a user being able to try install us retired the entire life cycle too. I think it really is. What is the linemate with our strategy. What's alignment with our buy. It is willing to really to procure this. What's the alignment mitch. The journey our user is going to have and in that journey. What problem are we really going to solve. I think being really close to an. I like to use a three p. type formula who is the persona. What's the problem and hope Visit n if you're getting good answer for this you know. This is a good candidate for you to consider in your backlog of hundred now there may be many that go through and i think the mini- that were true trying to find a mix of some of those that can really be delighted the bottle from the keno martyrs times.

And i have a chance to contribute for different forums mostly on product diversity. Is the topic clues to hurt and beneath that. I think a little bit on the inside there was a little bit of a sportsperson boy. That's a little bit of me. I'm chitra kissy my no wonder you said dimensions. I can see so many of them and looking forward to what comes out in the course of this conversation. Where did the interest in technology begin. How did you get the choosing technology as your destination of choice. It's interesting. I'll go back to this and for some of us who were back in son's old now. I'm actually a civil engineer. It may engineering from. Cop implement gutless. Campus i was actually working with the structure consultant and wiling always felt during my college days. I was more a site person than than a design or an office person sometimes as distant he would have it. I was doing stuff on the design than it was on the same but i loved it. I think a lot of foundational lessons then. There was it in the initial year or so. I think i was thinking to my sand lake what they did. I think i like technology. But i'm not really geeky. If you know what. I mean i think i still love to be able to people in between problems and which is when i was making johnston it came to further. Studies should an msn pick type around visit mode of nba thoughts. And i think i landed with the latter and in that course of the journey i actually picked my first role in technology with a company colleague in communications. It was a customer facing will and taught. While i was doing this. It would be good to see what customers do and get to learn that for a little bit. So that's how. I really got started macclesfield. Things said yes to something. Let's raise exploration started interesting. I have two questions and start with the first. One is transitioned from a site person to a design person from a civil engineer to a person in technology and software. Take place it. It's quite a journey active and a look back and i think of it It's it's been an interesting ride to when i joined iga in an i took up my first role in technology company. I honestly didn't know who locked. In fact at that point. I think a lot of folks where i mean i had to his. I paused in the batch off. Ninety nine which has been not to hiring was happening. Lift trade center so they were all kinds of developer jobs. Programming jobs at general did a little bit of. I really didn't enjoy it at heart so much. So i said no. That's not what i'm going to do. I think that's that's weird kind. And i made a promise to myself unless failing doing things at least three times. I wouldn't do it for a living intensely that has not come. I really somebody secretly heartache. So when i was acting again. I think the choice of the next best choice when we really was united muslim to customers and this world that i had really give me a way good or pushing to believe that the first year years i spent in a technical account management and sales like most companies are primary markets but in the us in europe. We will looking to expand in australia middle southeast asia india and the middle east likely. It happens again in most jobs. You i need revenue before you can start making investments subaru really a small team kind of put out there and write trump doing our demos to making our calls to putting on the jacket and going in for meetings working with our leaders to close deals and really seeing it through till things went. Live david really just sworn into division. And i think it has been one of the most key points of my career wherever you got to see how customers make buying decisions. How multiple aspects that go into making a choice there are different influences. Different buyers did are different users at the same time you don't deal with just one or few prospects at the same time from an often perspective you need to be relevant to a larger chunk out there. You really don't have an opportunity to daler rich to the if you know what i mean and all this in a life in sales it's really about zero one So you'll become really. You know you win it or you lose a deal and you can't have an in between in terms of your change of school or let's do it differently or let's do a for smudging. I mean you just get it or you lose it. I think it also makes her engine in a different way. I think a lot of the empathy for how customers by why and the focus on her really solving real problems. Because that's when someone is willing to put money on the table lighting are lessons that stick with me. Even today i mean. I put different had sawn on different days and when i'm looking proposal even today i tend to put that on saying here. This looks exciting for us. But is it going to be the same thing. That's how it. I kind of started getting more. Doppler was more market first and then later was heading up person dough product management. This was like more than fifteen years ago. Many people did it and for me. It was in in any enterprise sales. You can do two or three big deal at any given point in time. You're ahead an opportunity to bring all the learnings that had bring goes contributions back into building something for the market. And hence i since stayed in this combination of. Let's look at problems. Working technology do and we have people to make that happen somewhere in that equation again in different rules either. In a more pure play product management had in some cases it has been innovation centric. I also ran a social impact star. certain point in time But really your swear from a civil engineer being on the site to getting to people looking at the market and really you're trying to build something that can create value for business for users and jenny fan of from stuck it on and is still on and i still find that. Triangulation is a good place of challenge and an opportunity. Nice cba let the things that you just said this the so much going on at any given point in your life i can imagine maybe someday you write a book a day in the life of seem as a product manager and I can only magin how rich that book will be with all your stories from your early days of stepping in to understanding technology enough to stand in front of customers and listen to their problems and perhaps cloth the right solutions for them. Close that deal. What stands out to you in the form of. Let's say one or two stories and examples that you can share with us where you were able to either provide the right solution like you said you know. A deal is either zero or one is what is looking for two examples one of each kind of zeal and Mistake leeann maybe start with zero for ascend. That's what sometimes happens in excite window. For when you're in the same situation in your client to here we were talking to client and coincidentally i was in the same domain back. Then this was then. There was a lot of typical voice.

Oh yeah like it's really funny. So what's been up. What's and what's going on since last time you've been here? How's life I think lots been up I I it's been a while It's been good.

Just Kinda like sit there and look at her and go like holy crap like you're you're really a tiny human wow Because for so long they're really just blobs. They're not really you know they. They smile but they don't really smile at being human. I found a real human. Ya You know human but making human. Yeah it's like an enormous love and now it's it's a whole new thing Oh Yes oh her. First word was actually not a the word. It was a phrase and it was. What's that then that what's that means? Like what is that meaning like. You know like she'll point at something the thing is like what's that but also it means like I want that and why aren't you giving me that. And Hey like pay attention to me. That mum about everything and then her second word was was kind of like meow. But it's It's not saying unlike Miao it's like actually making the sound that a cat makes audubon. Yeah I can't make this Allen because I don't speak cat but she does. Yeah and the funniest thing is that so Jordan will pull it like a little like a cats meowing youtube video. John and then there's like a chorus of cat sounds coming from the phone and also like she'll make a chorus of concerts off and it's actually hard to know conventionally like what's a cat and what is my daughter future. Was that guy on all the police academy movies Middle Annoys is talking about these master. I don't think that's what I'm talking about. But I I think you were either from police police academy but I'd always talking about hightower. Yeah I to our was his name. I don't even know why. Why do I know that interesting interesting? Because he was the black dude on Kennedy movies. So you just think it's athlete. You're absolutely right identified with them so we're GONNA talk about curt today I had at the aeroplane and I had a I was thinking to myself that You know crypto. We've been talking about mass adoption now for like a decade and I feel like we will be talking about mice adoption for several more but I also feel like what slows down that is A courtesy has a tendency to attract some very fringe fringe people with very fringe ideals. enlarged large amounts like. Somebody's said in the slacking imbalance the other day. They're like man crypto tracks. Some people that are Kooky. I think it'll be nice way of putting it and I I thought to myself well. You're not wrong. It does in in being in essence coming fresh off of that doctoral interview view that we had not being that it does attract such kooky individuals of it. Does it stand a chance of ever being massively adopted if it so easily adopted by some of some people that just like they have the ideals that are so far out there that people are just going to ignore it or think. They're not serious or you know I don't know if it's I mean it's generalized money and and it but it started off from a a hard set of idealists a lot awaits right like it was because the cipher punk movement and digital money so like the main goal of like what kind of started off with the idea that I don't want to rely on third parties to frisa transact and like the first people to latch onto something that's brand new and willing willing to go through the painstaking process of using. It are usually the ones that are heavily like have have some type of heavy ideology because they're willing to be like royalty income thinking covered the right word but like They're willing to be frustrated through the user experience because because they want to the idea of technology so bad and that's what the like the beginnings of anything is it's like the the beginning of the ones that like really believed or could use is that technology to push whatever ideological vehicle they have. That's what happened. Is that usually tends to bring in the French. The kooky people and then as it becomes more and more mainstream rebe typically you build businesses that take cut back on some of those ideologies like you see things like coin base would never for of flown in the beginning days with bitcoin right especially not in state right now like it. Yeah it's I think there's a couple of different things like one it's it's definitely like it's hard to wrap your head around and if you think back to like when the the white paper I came out It's yeah it's harder up your head around so the people that are going to wrap their heads around or either like working me and not sort of you know super technical industry in some capacity and have the capacity to understand the white paper or intouch was Joshi or whatever but then the next wave of users even like they yeah they have to have the ability and the desire to dive into it you know and so that's what I I think We I saw sort of like you know the Libertarians and and the people that were you know already having sort of you've said they'd be like thought experiments or like actual actionable things That was a rebellion. I guess of sorts against the the state of the government or the state of the economy And then as it grows I still feel like there's a lot of similar personality. He treats right like you have to be you have to be technical. You have to be willing to put up with some like hot mess. Stuff You have to be willing to take on the risk right whether that's like the price risk or the security risks or whatever like you have to be willing to do that And you have to like like you really have to be able to dedicate some time to figuring it out you know I think right that there are ways to sort of get in without Maybe fully getting an right so like square cash and like you know there's a few absent just like you can just like a speculate on Bitcoin. You're actually yeah you're not actually like like holding quite basis is is that with the exposure to it Yeah but it's it's it's it's a halfway between is a wallet and it's very easy to offload that money onto a wallet that you actually control and they even have some solutions re control part like part of the keys.
The Economist: The Intelligence
Saudi Oil Field Attacked
"The Middle East and global oil markets are reeling after Saudi Arabia's oil infrastructure was severely damaged a huge attack this weekend and on Saturday missiles hit an oilfield at a processing plant in the east of the country residents hosted video on social media showing explosions interrupting the Don Call to prayer and huge fires raging iranian-backed rebels in neighbouring Yemen known as the WHO claimed responsibility but it's uncertain they carried out the attack in any case the bombing seems to be the latest salvo simmering proxy battle between Iran and its allies on one side and America alongside Saudi Arabia on the other who the rebels in Yemen who plays this attack have attacked Saudi Arabia many times in the past few years and those tax have been getting bigger but what we saw on Saturday was more serious and unusual than anything before to Sean Joshi is our defense editor. It was eight hundred kilometers into Saudi Arabia so that that very far in from over the Yemeni border if indeed the attack did come from Yemen and and more importantly it struck what was one of the most important components of Saudi Arabia's oil production capability both oilfield and a processing plant and on top of all of that it risks dramatically escalating tensions between Iran which supports the youth rebels and America Saudi Arabia's ally which is currently strangling around economy with sanctions so the scope escalation is now a much greater than it was so America backs Saudi Arabia and has has been working on its policy towards Iran maximum pressure and and what have you how has the trump administration responded to the attacks well. It was over twitter of course Donald Trump hinted at military action. He said America was locked and loaded and Mike Pompeo the secretary of state suggested the strikes didn't come from Yemen. They probably came from Iran particularly around Revolution regards or its proxy forces in Iraq which which are composed of lots of a mostly Shia militia groups some of the reporting that has come out in the past twenty four hours suggests that Iraq might have been the base for the attacks particularly with Iraqi militia groups eager to retaliate for Israeli strikes on their bases there a few weeks ago although the Iraqi prime minister has denied it America also said the strikes were very big they involve both cruise missiles and drones and lots of them which may suggest it could have been a little beyond the abilities of the WHO `this which again would probably point to Iranian culpability. That's correct. Iran's foreign minister has of course denied it he said Mike Pompeo American Secretary of State had failed at maximum Axum imprescia which is the official. US policy on Iran and had moved now to maximum deceit so of course we see we as usual complete denial from Iran and loss of finger pointing from America so with all of that finger pointing going on and all over the potential for escalation. What what do you think happens next well. If it wasn't ron it would be the the latest in a series of provocations that we've seen in the region going back to May when we had alleged attacks on international shipping with mines we had hostage taking of International Tanka spot by Romanian forces and we had the shoot down of an American drone which nearly took us to the brink of airstrikes in late June which were cancelled by trump on hours notice the had been some hopes in recent weeks that we will potentially seeing a little bit of de-escalation. Mike pompeo suggested that Donald Trump might meet his Iranian counterpart Hasaan John Ronnie at the sidelines of the General Assembly that would have been obviously a historic meeting between an American President and an Iranian leader that looks very unlikely now trump has tweeted angrily denying any such thing and this attack of course might represent Iranian hardliners specifically trying to frustrate that sort of diplomacy by Aronie and others so I think diplomacy is now is much less likely it's very hard to conduct any kind of meaningful talks in this in this environment and there's a risk of escalation either by Saudi Arabia whom this is really bad blow all by America and I wouldn't rule out military escalation if we find that more evidence comes is to light showing Iran's hand in this so not notwithstanding the risks of of greater escalation as things stand right now. What does all this mean for Saudi Arabia and for oil production under markets it eats a big blow to Saudi Arabia. The attack cools the suspension of production equivalent to about sixty percent of the kingdom's output which is about six percent of the world's oil production as soon as markets open today in Asia oil prices soared by about twenty percent and reports seemed to suggest the repairs are going to take take weeks which means there's going to be quite a long effect on prices and all of this comes at a time when the the the Saudi state oil giant Aramco was was looking to list to do its initial public offering. How do you think this will reflect on that not terribly well. It is a particularly delicate time for Saudi Arabia who state oil company. Aramco is by far all the world's largest oil company it was preparing to launch a portion of its shares in what was expected to be the largest initial public offering ever as part of VAT. The Chairman of Aramco had just been replaced. The Energy Minister of Saudi Arabia was shunted aside so investors already a little concerned about some of the uncertainty not and security of supply is a big concern to potential investors it lies at the heart of what Saudi Aramco's able to do it make Saudi Arabia not not just a very big oil producer but also a critical player in world oil markets very important geopolitical plan so attacks like this one call into question security is supply and a very bad news for the Saudi leadership and so what are Saudi Arabia's options here well in some ways. Donald Trump has put the ball all into Saudi Arabia's Court with his latest tweet he said the US was waiting to hear from the kingdom as to who they believe was the cause of this attack and under what terms we we would proceed in other words. He's challenging Saudi Arabia to publicly blame her on in the way that America has and essentially to put its cards on the table. If it wants wants to see a robust American reaction now Saudi Arabia usually would fall in line behind America. They are very close allies. There's a very strong relationship. Between the Saudi Saudi Crown Prince Mohammad bin Salman Donald Trump in the face of an attack like this. They have a very complicated calculation. They absolutely want to push America to throw the gauntlet down to to Iran to put Iran leadership in place to deter Iran from attacks like this but I think they're also concerned about the prospect of escalation about the prospect of moral facilities ability being struck missiles falling Saudi cities a bigger war that would have a huge impact on their economy perhaps on their regime and so this is a crunch point for them. I think they have to decide side. How much do they want to proud donald trump onto action and how much they want to proceed cautiously aware of the enormous stakes for the kingdom itself.

The two situations are not linked lon joined now by shashank joshi defense editor at the economist and a regular contributor here on monocle twenty four <hes> shushing festival to ambassador cons <hes> very thinly veiled threat mood redeployment of that sort if it took place actually imperil the peace talks get no not really a pakistan's role in the peace talks. What about sticking the troops <hes>. That's not really positive at all. <hes> it's really about nudging its allies the taliban who they have sheltered in protective for decades since since twenty five years in fact to the negotiating table. It's about allowing travel of taliban leaders to places like doha what talked to taking place. It's about <hes> threatening them and their families if they don't talk to the americans it's about <hes> you know facilitating these in ways that sort of nudge the most <hes> taliban leadership we the pakistani generals who've protected you sheltered you would really like you to come to some sort of compromise that the pack stony role so tripling troops story. It's not a pakistani somehow the line of defense that is a holding up afghanistan's eastern border in fact quite the opposite so was this pakistan install on again just saying something because they feel like something needs to be said. I think it's it's it's pretty much fast. I think it's that caught between two impulses on the one hand. They say they they they. They want to draw some sort of link. Because of course <hes> one of the most prized called is their role in the afghan peace talks and that's all they really have to play at this point in order to get american support for their side in kashmir <hes> to say well. If you don't help us in kashmir who knows what might happen nice nice to talk to you have shame if something would have happened to them but on the other hand of because it's not a call you can play very easily affecting you. The comments suggested because it's in the interest for these peace talks ultimately that allies allies the taliban <hes> being propelled towards power in kabul in some fashion. All the americans are getting out that he's good news so full. Pakistan is bad news for india so so really it's not a threat they can use very effectively cutting off your by your face. So how significant then is the taliban statement repudiating the idea idea that there's any connection between kashmir afghanistan. They did off a pro forma sympathies to <hes> the muslim religionists in kashmir but they were very determined that the to not be linked. Does that suggest that the taliban think these talks in doha are actually going somewhere. You can't get the taliban inside your muslim struggle have you. The saudi misjudged it. I think that's absolutely right. I mean we don't even need to read.

U.S. Says Tehran Is to Blame for Attacks on Fuel Tankers
"It is the assessment of the United States government that the Islamic Republic of Arado responsible for the attacks that occurred in the Gulf of Amman today, America's secretary of state. Mike Pompeo lamed Iran for an attack on two tankers in the Gulf of Oman yesterday. It came just a month after a similar attack nearby on four shifts, which America also claimed was carried out by Iran, the United States will defend its forces interest, as dandruff our partners and allies to safeguard global commerce and regional stability. He suggested. Well, there are no other groups in the region that have the training capabilities for this kind of thing to shop Joshi is the economists defense at attack since he spoke. The Americans have also released a video showing a small boat removing a mind from the hull of one of the ships, and it's the kind of small boat that the Iranian revolution. Regards have been using in the region. And the American say that this points to their culpability. So all of that is obviously a very worrying escalation in the region. So let's wind back a little bit and talk about what exactly happens yesterday. Well, this date to ships in the Gulf was long which is right next to the strait of all Moos a key oil and gas waterway were hit by some kind of attack initially it was thought to be a torpedo, perhaps a mind, one of the ships was carrying methanol. The other one was carrying crude oil forty four of the crew were rescued. One of them was injured, but the ships were in absolutely terrible condition. Those huge plumes of smoke coming out of them. And this is worrying because it's one of the busiest routes for seaborne oil trade in the world, the straight of all news, I think carries about thirty percent. A seaborne oil trade. It's an absolutely vital chirp point. And if it keeps getting. Struck like it was this week. It's going to have major consequences for world energy markets. It's going to have major consequences for the Arab states in the region. Who are the major oil-exporters in that part of the world? And the tiny of these strikes is also extremely curious. How do you mean? Well, Shinzo Ave, the Japanese Prime minister walls in Iran. He was meeting Iran's president Hassan Rohani and on Thursday itself as the attacks took place, he was missing very unusually for any for western western allied leader. He was meeting the supreme leader, Ayatollah Khamenei, and that was essentially seen as sort of US encouraged effort by Japan to try and find a way to begin a dialogue between the US, Iran amid a period of spiraling tensions in a sense that the, the nuclear deal was falling apart, the region in Yemen in the Gulf of imam was becoming more tense and Japan was supposed to be de escalating that and ironically, one of the ships that was hit was carried. Being Japanese cargo. So why then if it were actually around who did this? Why would they do that during what seems to be a sensitive, diplomatic moment, will the Russian Al would be that Iran has something of a history all's attacks on shipping. Particularly in the nineteen eighties at to prolonged Tanka war with Iraq, which ravaged shipping in the straight of Hormuz and the Persian Gulf region. And this time round, we have to remember that Iran is under enormous pressure from the United States on the sanctions to prevent them from selling their oil in the last couple of months, a US has tried to shut down any oil exports from Iran to its Asian customers, who previously had sanctions waivers. So Iran is understandably furious at this. The US aim is to pressure, Iran over the nuclear deal to force around to reopen those talks into into essentially agree to a more favorable deal for America. Iran wants to show. It has leverage why. One of the sorts of leverage. It may have is the ability to influence shipping in this international waterway and to say that if we not loud to export oil. Well, our, our adversaries, the United Arab Emirates Saudi Arabia. They won't be allowed to export oil. It's impossible to escape comparisons with the, the attacks that happened. Very nearby. Almost exactly a month ago. Do you believe they're linked and that the motivations behind them would be the same? It's very hard to see how they wouldn't be linked. The American certainly think that Iran conducted the attacks a month ago as well that I it was around that planted mines on the four ships that were anchored off the United Arab Emirates, and that also was a moment of serious tension. That was just days after the Iranians had said they would would draw from provisions of the nuclear deal, it was very shortly after the Americans had escalated sanctions on Iran, and I think it wouldn't surprise me at all to learn that this was the next stage in Iran effort to. Apply. Calibrated calculated pressure on international shipping to show the United States. If you can put pressure on us, we can put pressure on you through your allies through the international shipping channels. But don't think we will sit back and swallow all of these sanctions, you were throwing at us, but it's not just America who will be paying attention here. What does this mean for, for the wider region, and, and the other entanglements that Iran has well, I think the most serious esscalation occurring in parallel is in Yemen in Yemen in recent months. We have also seen an escalation between the Saudi led coalition and the who the rebels who have in the past being backed by Iran in some very serious ways in the past few days, we saw a Hootie cruise missile attack on a airport in Saudi Arabia that injured dozens of civilians. And again when the lost tanker attack took place about a month ago, we saw a attack. Doc on oil pumping stations in Saudi Arabia by who drone. So the sense of by tally Arabians in others, is that Iran is putting pressure on the region. Not just at sea, but also through the Hootie movement on Saudi Arabia on the UAE on it. Our allies and intern Saudi Arabia is putting pressure on the who 'this whom it sees us Iranian proxies. So, in other words, this esscalation at sea is probably also connected to escalation in Yemen, and that's very bad news for Yemeni civilians caught up in the civil war over there. And so where do you see this ending that where, where does the esscalation stop? Or how could it be stopped? Well, let's remember that if Iran is responsible. It's trying to stay below the threshold of US military escalation, it's trying to keep its attacks if it is a on at a sufficiently low and calibrated level that it doesn't give the Americans excuse to attack. But of course that's a very dangerous game to play. We don't know how. How the United States will respond in the one thousand nine hundred ninety s when international shipping was repeatedly attacked at one point. The Americans lost patients and conducted a huge campaign of airstrikes on Iranian boats, and Iranian oil platforms. Now John Bolton America's national security adviser, a very hawkish man. Macy some advantage in a similar show of force, for now, his Arab allies, don't want to escalate to the use of force that would disrupt their economies. It would disrupt oil shipping even further. But I think we are now in a situation where it's easy to see how a misunderstanding a miscalculation could easily result in a serious serious military response by the United States against their own

Nuclear diffusion: Iran
"Today marks a year since merica pulled out of the nuclear deal with Iran fair for I am announcing today that the United States will withdraw from the Iran nuclear deal. We will be instituting the highest level of economic sanction. The anniversary isn't passing without event. Iran has announced its own partial withdrawal from the nuclear deal today. Sean Joshi is economists defense editor that comes just days after the Americans moved an aircraft carrier into the Persian Gulf on the basis of intelligence of what they said were potential Iranian attacks on American forces, and Michael the US secretary of state has ten up on expectedly in Iraq, which is one of the main US Iran sites have competition the region, so it's all kicking off in the Middle East, and it's been a year since President Donald Trump withdrew America from the from the nuclear deal the. Me through again, why he chose to do that. And what the relations have been since the JCP was joint comprehensive plan of action. This was the fancy name given to the nuclear deal that Aram signed with six world powers back in two thousand fifteen to cap its nuclear program, which many people fit was racing towards a nuclear bomb in exchange for trade and economic relations with the west I've been doing deals for a long time. I've been making lots of wonderful deals. Great deals. That's what I do. Donald Trump said the Iran deal was the whist the will never ever ever in my life. Have I seen any transaction? So incompetently negotiated as our deal with Iran. And I mean, never he felt not only head given away too much to Iran. It allowed her on to keep the ability to enrich some uranium which is which is a potential pathway to a bomb it allowed Iran sanctions relief that Trump said it would spend on funding terrorism in the region. It didn't stop around from testing missiles, which could be used to cause havoc against the US in its Attallah is and ultimately the biggest complaint that Trump and his team had was that the deal didn't change Iran's approach to the region. It didn't change Iran's willingness to confront the United States confront Arab allies, the US and confront Israel. And for all of those reasons he decided I'm done with this deal. I'm gonna tear it up, and we're going to try bludgeoning rom into something more formidable something more constraining and exactly a year on ran has announced that it it self is going to start to ignore the deal which the significance of that. What exactly is undoing? Well, Sandra Hanni. Iran's president has said he will start doing two things on the real pressure from his hardliners who wanted to do this for a long time. One of them is that it will start building up stockpiles something called enriched uranium low enriched uranium, and that's one of the things that can ultimately help you make a bomb the nuclear deal capped, the amount that Iran could have and Rania saying, okay, we're going to break that cap. We're going to build up a little bit more beyond it. The second thing. He said he's doing is that he will start building up. Heavy water. Heavy water is a specific type of chemical that used in nuclear reactors that can ultimately make plutonium which is another way of building a bomb. So Ronnie is not saying we're gonna dash for a nuclear weapon, we're going to tear up the deal completely. He's being clever about this. He saying we'll break out of it. And reasonably limited ways challenging the Europeans to say, you really gonna tear up the deal for these steps. And so in in the context of there's also this movement of the aircraft carrier. You say it's it's all kind of kicking off. I mean is it. How much does this sort of stir the pot, and how much of this is just kind of sabre-rattling very hard to tell the US said, it has credible intelligence showing that Iran plan to attack US forces in US allies in the region using drones using proxy militia forces. Now, we don't know how good how solid that intelligence is some officials say they spotted wrong moving entire missiles on tops of boats, which perhaps they were preparing to use them. Happy will preparing to ready them. Other officials say, hey, look, it's not actually clear with this was preparation for an attack or just preparation for a contingency plan in case. Iran was attacked. I in other words, getting the stage ready for retaliation. So the intelligence is vague. And I think sent me in Europe among European diplomats and other parts of the world. There's a little bit of mistrust about American intentions, and the reliability of these American claims simply because America and the person who announced this movement of the carrier John Bolton is well known as a. Great hawk on Iran has been wanting to amplify pressure on Iran. So I think this some suspicion perhaps the administration may have played up the solidity of this intelligence in order to sort of rattler sabres, you say and false Iran to back down and couch into some kind of submission is is there a sense. Do you think that the the US is frustrated that even though it's pulled out of the deal? It's reimpose sanctions that around seems to be getting on. All right, the regime seem stable. I think it's the opposite. I think that they sniffing opportunity they see rom in economic crisis. They are convinced that the protests, they see even if the river economic issues are in fact, indications of seething discontent against the Talas. They see a region in which the Arab allies that Isreaeli allies role moving in lockstep all unified on the issue of confronting Iran. And I think they see opportunity to deliver lethal decisive blow to Iran force to it's knees force it to kind of give up everything it would not give up to Barrack Obama back in two thousand fifteen so. I think this is born of confidence some would say hubris not weakness, not not fair. How much of this is that America might want to change the terms find it difference Iran deal, and how much of it is just kind of the early stages of again regime change. Well, Joan Bolton has said when he announced the movement of Vinik carrier to the region, we don't want regime change and other officials have said that as well do people believe them, do you. No one knows. I'm not sure I do either. I think that the Americans said they don't want this. They said that it won't award but the conditions. They have demanded of your on Mike Pompeo, the secretary of state made a list of I think thirty also demands of Iran. This was kind of like a Austro-Hungarian ultimatum, right? It was a demand that people thought is. So extreme is so sweeping would necessitate such a dramatic change in everything that Iran does about its foreign policy and defence policy that it would never be accepted. And if American knows it's making demands it can't be. Accepted some people think is that just a pretext for justifying laying the groundwork for military action. No one really knows the answer to that. But I think the actions of the last few days the pathway, we're now on should make us all very worried about the prospect of military confrontation down the line. And so with that in mind, and this these these sabres being rattled, how do you think this will play out? I think we're looking at the end of the nuclear deal the rains have given Europe sixty days to say, look, you know, give us the economic benefits if this all will completely pull out in that. That's the end of it. I think Europeans have done the best. They can to try and protect their own trade with Iran from meddling American sanctions, they've tried to tell Iran you'll better off in this deal out, but has any is under pressure. From hotline is at home. He's he had his chumps the Americans shattered the deal in just the way that the supreme leader of Iran said they would. And so I don't think he has much political leeway to Lynn palm. I think the deal is going to die in sixty days. Once that happens. Iran will be under pressure to go back to where it was before. Twenty fifteen building up its nuclear infrastructure hinting that it's going to pursue its way to a bomb not at full speed. But but creeping its way there and challenging the Americans to do something about it. If if they if they we're going to be back in those very dunk troubling days of twenty eleven twenty twelve when the region looked like it was really on edge. Thank you very much for your time.

Buy the bullet: global defence spending
"Hello and welcome to the intelligence on economist radio. I'm your host. Jason Palmer every weekday. We provide a fresh perspective on the events shaping your world. The first of may brings out protesters all over the globe campaigning for better labor conditions. But in France weekly demonstrations by the so-called issue lay zone have been going on for months. Yesterday's mayday gatherings. Brought out a violent fringe that threatens the Jones message and president of annual Macron's attempts to address it. And we take a look at a new study that tries to measure, which English speaking country produces the most bullshit. But I. Last week. China's navy celebrated its seventieth birthday in grand style. As president Xi Jinping peered through binoculars into rain and mist a flotilla swept through the South China Sea. Nine. Winds there. What this moving you. Rose of white clouds, sailors stood on worships and saluted Mr. g who was aboard a brand new destroyer China has also boasted of its nuclear submarines and says it's building a new aircraft carrier America sees China as a growing rival, not just a military threat, but also economic one and the contest is being felt by America's closest allies in Britain yesterday. Gavin Williamson the Defense Secretary was fired by Prime Minister, Theresa may. He was accused of leaking details of how the country plans to let hallway a Chinese tech firm. Build part of its future five g mobile phone network. In response to that plan. America has threatened to cut back intelligence sharing with Britain. Beyond this America and China are leading the world in rearmament race. As a new report makes clear essentially the will to spending enormous sums of money on defense. Shizhong Joshi is economists defense editor this is the report by the Stockholm International Peace Research institute Cypriots Swedish thing Tang, and what it says this year is that global defense spending in twenty eight teen walls one point eight trillion dollars. Now, obviously that's a loss of money to put it in context of just how much it's the highest amount in real terms since sippy began this exercise in nineteen eighty eight and collecting these figures the end of the Cold War. It is seventy six percent higher than nine hundred ninety eight which was the peak of the post Cold War peace dividend when western countries began slashing on forces slashing spending. So you can see just how far we've come in the last twenty years. Also, just how much things have changed geopolitically and who's spending this one point eight trillion dollars, well essentially to. Countries are spending a leading the charge. That's America and China surprisingly America is heading shoulders above everyone else. It will spend about seven hundred sixteen billion dollars this year. That's significant increase from last year it out spends the next eight or so countries combined which gives you a sense of just how far ahead it is. Now, China is well behind spends a fraction of that. But it's military spending growing very quickly. It grew at an average of ten percent every year between two thousand and 2016 between two thousand fourteen in two thousand eighteen churned out. More ships ships with greater tonnage than the entire Indian Japanese navy. So that gives you a sense of just how rapidly they growing. And is this grew spread also among other nations or only American to the growing. It is great will that's provoking response. Particularly in Asia in Asia, for example, with seeing huge spurts among other countries. India for example, now. Spends more than any country in Europe. And I think Indians very proud of the fact that they are outspending not only countries like France, Germany, but also their old, colonial master Britain. Modern and invincible. Of whom stupefaction? Residency is Joel Indian skies ever own words. But Asia, Shirley, isn't the only place where governments want to to be up their defenses. No on Marshall Europeans. Have also been tooling up in recent years. They're obviously very worried by Russia, particularly after Russia's annexation of Crimea in two thousand fourteen they've been spending substantial amounts of quite quickly. If you're one single country its military spending would be four times that have Russia. In fact, it would be the second biggest military power in the world. So back to China, which has been spending money hand over fist as you say. But the their capabilities are still much much weaker compared to America's is there. Some sense of of when China might sort of outpace America will it'll be many many years before it can actually equal American spending. But I would say China gets to concentrate most of its military forces in its front garden in the western Pacific America has global commitments. So could we have a situation where Chinese forces in Asia? Outmatch American forces. Absolutely. We could have that very soon. Indeed. Depending on what America does depending on how China stretches capabilities so beyond America, China is is there anywhere where this would've frenzy of military spending. We'll kind of change the league table. I think we've seen a few changes taking place to Saudi Arabians in the Middle East have been spending huge amounts in the past ten years to the point where they are. Now, the third biggest spender in the world that obviously is going to have a major impact on the Middle East. If you look at Turkey, I think they've also been on a spending spree, and I think in Europe, one of the most interesting countries in eastern Europe, which of course, it's closer to Russia more about Russia's influence, and that's Poland. Police spending has been rising very quickly. They've been buying lots of American weapons, including an American Ed defense system, and they have been at the vanguard of some of this military spending spree in central and eastern Europe that we've seen in recent years. So looking at all these numbers is it's a global trend is everyone spending more. No, I think there's some pretty interesting places. West bending is is shrinking stagnating. The first example is the Middle East. Having said that Saudi Arabia. It was on this spending spree for the last ten years that slowing down. Sippy says that military spending the Middle East shrank by one point eight percent. In two thousand eighteen Saudi Arabia is planning on cutting spending after a number of years of growth, Iran is planning on cutting spending. Although we we don't have data for a few big countries like the United Arab Emirates and Casio. I think Africa's another good example military spending in Africa in two thousand eighteen shrink for the fourth consecutive year. And of course, as we know they're they're big protests in ALgeria and Sudan the military's under pressure from protesters to give way to civilians that could have an impact on on military budgets. I think finally the one I'd like to mention which is really interesting is Russia. Russia has modernized its armed forces over the last decade invested in lots of shiny new weapons. Sippy now says that his slowing. Down at that that boom in Russia is coming to an end. It's calculation say military spending in Russia shrunk by three and a half percent last year. Okay. Some of that could be to do with the fall of the ruble. This little probably spending a lot in ruble, terms. But I think what we all seeing is that the years of Russia plowing money into its military driven by oil that is slowly coming to an end, and that will have an impact, of course, on the European military balance. I mean, it's it's tempting to imagine that more spending on arms makes conflict more likely. There's just simply more more guns and weapons in more hands. What's your take on the Wilbur one really gave us a strong association between alms racing and conflict? We thought the Germans and the British and others competing supremacy. In your building up ships building up weapons and that played a role in contributing to willed, we'll one I think the political science the sort of social science around. This is a bit more complicated. I don't think there is necessarily clear connection between rapid arms racing. And outright conflict. Some people would say actually countries build up weapons, they feel they can deter their adversaries, they feel more secure. They don't feel the need to be vulnerable into lash out. So the association is complicated. What I would say is. I think there's a kind of cycle relationship between mistrust and building homes, the more countries don't trust each other like the US and China over China's island building and in competition in Asia, the more they build up weapons to prepare for the possibility of a clash the more. They build up weapons the less they trust each other. Thank you very much for coming in. Thank you very much.

Prince on tour: Muhammad bin Salman
"Saudi Crown prince Mohammad bin Salman is pivoting eastward this week. He's on a tour of Asia. Believe that San gonna be very very important country in the coming, and you want to be sure that part of that with stops in Pakistan, India and China the trip is a strategically important one for the prince he has had a very rocky six months. He's been accused of ordering the murder of dissident journalist, Joel shalt g in the Saudi consulate in Istanbul is father death has rocked relations between the west and Saudi Arabia. So this tour is a way of cleansing away some of the diplomatic opprobrium that is taxed to him in the west to Sean Joshi is our defense editor he is looking for friends who will happen focus on other more harmonious matters in Pakistan. He has a very pliant friend. But also India and China who will not obsess over Saudi Arabia's human rights record and will deal with him on more pragmatic basis, which is to say, they can talk oil. They can talk not just Oriel. Other types of investment regional security counter terrorism with India, particularly keen to get Saudi help on chasing up Pakistani wrongdoers, and they can talk missiles and strategic weapons with China. But in that region there is quite a lot going on. Let's take those sort of destinations one by one. He's already been to Pakistan. What are his ambitions? And what are the issues there? Well, Saudi Arabia and Pakistan have historically been extremely close part of it for Pakistan is money. They are being squeezed towards the IMF for a bailout and Saudi Arabia has just agreed twenty billion dollars of investment agreements. Pakistan, also sends troops to Saudi Arabia to train with the Saudis. It has contributed forces to the campaign in Yemen. But of course, Pakistan, also neighbors Iran, which you Saudi Arabia's arch rival, so there's a lot more going on in terms of also containing Iran's influence, so what exactly was he trying to secure in Pakistan, one of the most important projects. He's looking at is. Funding a big oil refinery in the port of guava in Pakistan's Balochistan province, and that's important for a number of reasons right now, it's the centerpiece of China's economic corridor in Pakistan, so he's competing with Beijing. It's very near the Iranian port of Chabahar where India is investing. So he's competing with deady, but more importantly than all of that, Balochistan neighbors Iran, and so he is building a presence right next door to Iranian territory. There have been rumors that Saudi Arabia has funded groups in Balochistan, which is where gutter is located that have conducted attacks inside, Iran. So I think this is likely to be another step in the Saudi campaign to push back at Iran. I suppose I'm wondering why this visit might be so welcome on the part of all of these countries. If what he's doing his tipping into some pretty tricky, local dynamics kind of on all fronts in in every direction. Why isn't he viewed as kind of a destabilizing force? Well, I think the Indians will call. Where he is. Now, they historically might have seen Saudi Arabia as a stabilizing force supporting radical Islamist movements that were causing trouble in places like Kashmir and other parts of India. But in recent years, India has tried to reset its relationship with Saudi Arabia. It wants Saudi investment and it wants to coke Saudi Arabia away from Pakistan and officials in New Delhi or still reeling from last week's terror attack in Indian-administered Kashmir, which it blamed on Pakistan. Isn't that sort of complicating the dynamics I think it probably is. I think that India is focused on this terrible attack that took place the worst attack in Kashmir in decades, and this profound anger in India and desire among many people to take some sort of retaliatory military action now Mohammed bin Salman presence in Pakistan, first of all and then his visit to India has complicated that for the Indians. But I think what they will be doing is using the opportunity to try and say to him look, we know your close to package. Stan we know you'll building a relationship, but we are a bigger more important country. Don't you want to work with us and try and put pressure on the Pakistanis to end their support of terrorism? So quite the opposite. Then of everyone trying to shun him everyone instead wants his ear quite badly. I think that's right. I think that for the Chinese as well where he will be heading after India China will think well, here's an American ally. If we can give him weapons advanced technology, perhaps build economic ties his an opportunity to try and peel away another American ally and win one over the Americans. Do you suppose that this tour will accomplish its goal of kind of shaking off the shadow of the Jamaica Shoji affair, I think it will show the west that Saudi Arabia has other partners, and that will probably push some people to say, look, we can't stop talking about kashogi. But we have to be aware that Saudi Arabia is an important partner. Indeed, only in the last week British. Officials have been complaining that German arms export ban on Saudi Arabia has grounded its fleet of typhoon fighter jets. So people already worried that some of the pressure on Saudi Arabia is resulting in lost commercial opportunities and the more. He can show that he has friends in other parts of the world, even potential suppliers of arms, the more. He will be able to say to the west you better talk to me at some point. Because if not I will find other people to speak with and I'm also intimately involved in all of these other sort of cross border conflicts that you you might need my help with. We'll absolutely. And I think the biggest of all and the biggest prize here is the peace. Talks over ghanistan Saudi Arabia has had a relationship with Afghanistan's Pakistan is central to the process of the peace talks. And so if the west feels that Saudi Arabia could play an important role in cajoling Pakistan to push the Taliban to the table if it could coax the insurgent directly to the table then. That may be one more step on the road to rehabilitation for no had been solo.
