I completely forgot. Yeah. Yeah. And you didn't even put the number on that stream. Did you do on purpose? I think I went back last night and and put the number on there. I I've been looking at like trying to verify what people want to watch like what works for people because some of our podcasts get insane retention. We've got 85 % retention on a four hour podcast. It's awesome. Yeah, that's amazing. But then another will have like 55 or 60 which is more high but normal and I'm like, what do I need to do? So I've been looking at naming and stuff like that. Yeah, for sure. It's it's definitely it's definitely something I screw up. I'm not good at it. Like it's called the best gaming podcast because I'm not good at this shit behind the scenes. I'm like just dude. I'm not good. I like this is the one place where I have issues up everybody in chat. We're jereo Robert chicken wings flexing darge night. What's up, man? We had a long discussion with darge last night Eric maverick duck. I'm gonna have to read some of the discord discussion we had last night. We had a huge favorite favorite stuff, right? It was like favorite take an IP and give it to a dev and then that one is a cool question. Yeah, I like that question. It was awesome. I mean it went for like four solid hours.

So last we did was Friday. So over the weekend in the last couple days, anything amazing? Um, no, I've been addicted to all week to I went and watched a movie at the theater. The one with Leonardo DiCaprio and yeah, yeah. Is it good? Um, it's so paid. It's paced very weirdly like it's it's it's I liked it kind of I like the performances. I think what's his name, the one dude, the older guy, the Robert De Niro did a fantastic job. I've never seen him like, like be that way. He was like a, you know, southern kind of dude, you know, I mean, that was really cool to see. I like the story about the pacing was just it just killed it for me a little bit because they went like this and then it would go like that. You know, I'd just be all over the place. So, you know, I couldn't I couldn't, you know. Yeah. So I didn't love it. But it was it was cool. So it was more along the lines of like minutes. What the movies, three hours and 30 minutes long. Yeah, dude. Oh, my God. Dude, that's that's like birds for a lot of babies. That's a long movie. That's a long, very long. Yeah. How they prop up De Niro to be awake for three hours and 30 minutes. I have no idea. Dude, I love it. It's crazy. It's crazy. Yeah. Was DiCaprio going against type kind of thing where he does in some movies where he's like, I'm going to play Blood Diamond. He was like the South African Blood Diamond, black black market trader, phenomenal movie in this one. Did he play against type? Like, was he a nerd or was he or was he just Leonardo? He was a Leonardo. No, no, no. It wasn't Leonardo. He was very odd. Yeah. It was like different. He looked uglier, like purposefully uglier kind of. Oh, wow. More southern, more like. Yeah. He was he was he was different. He wasn't being like Leonardo or anything. It's a weird role, but he nailed it for sure.

Fresh update on "south african" discussed on BTV Simulcast
"Largest ever stock buyback plan worth $10 billion. GM is also reinstating earnings guidance after accounting for costs for its new labor contract. Speaking to Bloomberg, the GM CEO Mary Barra said while negotiations with the W came in higher than expected, the firm will be able to offset the costs. Well, as we looked at what was happening from a labor perspective, we had built and really the labor environment going into our negotiations. We had put conservative estimates into our plan. So although it was a little higher than what we expected, we believe that we have and our guidance for next year, we've already said that we'll be able to completely offset that with the plan that we already had of a $2 billion cost out perspective. So we did the right thing to recognize our manufacturing team members who have done a great job and continue to build vehicles safely with high quality. And we also thought that we've got to look and make sure that we're balanced across all of our stakeholders and our owners are very important. So we think this was a very balanced response. When we look at what was done from a labor perspective and what we're doing as part of our capital allocation framework for our owners. Well, let's get into that. So shareholders are super happy. The name is up by almost 11 % so far this morning. I wonder if UAW is. Mary, they didn't get the 40 % they wanted. They got 25 plus cost of living and other things as well. Is the optics of this this morning not something that concerns you? When I look at it, I think balanced. it's Again, we have very well compensated and when you look at the suite of benefits that our represented team members have, it's a very very appropriate package and frankly leading from an industry broader perspective than just the auto industry. So I think we did the right thing to recognize and reward the hard work of our manufacturing team members across the board. But also one of the things our manufacturing team members very much value is job security. And to have job security you have to have a strong company and you have to look at all of your stakeholders. So what we did from a share buyback perspective for our owners is a very balanced response. As you know this move this morning not just about the capital return program, also about cost cuts, know we you're looking to fully offset that labor contract, the additional cost from it. Have you identified will cut where you need to cut? Yes, a lot of this was already underway at the beginning of this year, calendar year 2023 we announced a two billion dollar cost reduction, structural cost reduction between 23 and end the of 24 that's well underway. As I said we also comprehended that we would have increases in our labor cost as we looked at what the environment was and also wanting to reward our manufacturing employees, so you know there's work going across many aspects of the business and including making our products more efficient while still having the features, the functionality and beautiful designs that our customers want. That was General Motors CEO Mary Barra there speaking with Bloomberg's Jonathan Farrow. Meanwhile in South Africa, the South African Reserve Bank says the quality of bank loan books has suffered amid high interest rates. The central bank also announced plans to have lenders add protectively to their capital buffers in 2025. Bloomberg's Ntando Taquana joins us now from Johannesburg. She's been covering this story. So Ntando, thanks so much for joining us. Talk to us about what the Reserve Bank said and how concerned they are about the stresses that they're seeing in the economy given the higher for longer interest rates. Right the now Reserve Bank is seeing quite a bit of credit risk. It's worried about the declining savings buffers that have been built up by both companies and households and that that is basically making lenders a lot more circumspect about issuing out loans and the risk is that the current high interest rates environments will continue to have pressure on both companies and households. While it's not a systemic risk at the moment because the percentage of non -performing loans is still small relative to all the advances out in the markets, the bank's committees are looking at this very closely and trying to find ways to manage the risks appropriately and still lend in a manner that is prudent. Ntondo, I wonder what else the stability review highlights. This The electricity crisis is still a factor because that is hobbling growth and hurting productivity at factories but also coming up at the top the was amount of government bonds in the hands of domestic investors. The Reserve Bank is worried that the concentration is too high. In 2020, during the peak of the COVID -19 pandemic, foreign investors were dumping South African government bonds because of a risk of sentiment that was clouding the markets at the time and that has accelerated since. So the Reserve Bank is quite worried about that. But another risk is South Africa remaining on the Financial Action Task Force grey list for longer. The government does have a deadline of 2025 to exit that list. But said having that, Governor Lisa Chahanyaho did say that in the last pennery meeting with the National Treasury, that the government has actually displayed signs that they're making progress of that list. Antondo, thank you for those updates. That's Bloomberg, Antondo, Taquana and Johannesburg. Thank you. Bloomberg and iHeartRadio, highlighting the best reporting by you today. Thank you.

A highlight from This Bitcoiner Collects Hyperinflated Bank Notes and Teaches His Kids About Hard Money
"I started collecting banknotes for countries that have gone through some kind of hyperinflation. And it's been a very interesting journey, A, acquiring them and B, getting them into the country is also quite a trick.

Once a month, I am talking to Bitcoiners from around the world about their Bitcoin journey and their journey really with fiat. And this month I'm excited to be talking to Amnon Meltzer. He's joining us from Cape Town, South Africa. Amnon, thank you so much for joining me. Nice to be here. Well, you have a fascinating story, so let's get right into it. And first, tell us a little bit about your life. I know you're born and raised in South Africa. Tell us what might have gotten you so interested in studying money and eventually Bitcoin. Well, I actually got into it. I studied maths and stats at university and I did a course on cryptography. So that was actually my entry into Bitcoin because I was always interested in cryptography and the public private key. I learned about it a long time ago. And I've always been interested. And then when I heard it was a currency based on cryptography, I just had to learn more. And then once you started, you never really end learning about Bitcoin. Yeah, I was really fascinated to read that you studied cryptography in the 90s at university and then a friend told you about Bitcoin. And so you bought your first one in 2015. It was about US $240 and what, like 3600 South African rand. Is that right? Correct. I should have bought more. And you said you went on Mt. Gox. What happened there? Yeah, so I just my very first email that actually mentions the word Bitcoin was all the way from Mt. Gox in April 2013. So I had an account there. I didn't have any funds there. I couldn't get it. So it's quite difficult to get funds out of South Africa. I couldn't get any funds there. But I do have an email from Mt. Gox saying that I was welcome to join, which I'm very pleased I didn't. Wow. OK, well, yeah, I want to learn more just about South Africa because some of my listeners might be familiar with some of the issues that the country has had with inflation, with the IMF. So can you talk a little bit about what has living with fiat in South Africa been like and why is that a country that's maybe primed for Bitcoin? Well, the Reserve Bank has its target range of three to six percent, which is a lot of the European and Americas. They go for two percent. But here we go for three to six percent for some reason. And it's usually been on the high end of that and often well over that. So the rand relative to the dollar, it just gets worse and worse and worse. I mean, just at the beginning of this year, for example, it was 17 rand to the dollar and now it's 19 rand to the dollar. And that's just in eight or nine months.

It is just past 9 30 a .m. across the Emirates. I'm Jennifer Zappasanja in Dubai. And I'm Usain Kemenadeen right alongside you. Let's get to the bond market story because the thinking is that the Fed isn't a bit sweet of a spot and we're holding on to the melt up that we got over the last week. The moment U .S. tenure yields at or twenty eight. Your S &P 500 many in terms of equity futures called marginally higher by about a tenth of one cent and then euro dollar unchanged. Let's get into treasuries. We are now positive year to date on a total return basis on track for the best month since December of 2008. JP Morgan says get into this trade. The Fed may start to cut. They're going to have to do that potentially significantly. And given how high and restrictive rates are, that's the only thing that makes sense for them. There's still upside here in this trade. I want to get to treasuries and the potential challenges around that. We had GDP data out in the United States. This estimate came in for the third quarter of this trade. But with that being said, it also signaled a sharp slowdown for the current quarter to 2 .1%. Still, the market's live team says that for the Fed to turn around and slash rates by a percentage point or more in 2024 seem to require a much deeper slump to kick things off to. Yeah, Yousuf, I mean, talking about the OPEC plus meeting that we've been waiting for for a number of days, the day is finally here, but it's anyone's guess what will happen. actually But if you take a look at this chart right here, it's a bit reflected in the markets, right? We've seen crude oil will happen. Over the past few days. Right now, what we're seeing well over the past few days, just 80 above $83 a barrel, and that's after rising almost 4 % over the past few sessions. We also saw trading WTI near $78. But really, the question is, what does OPEC plus do at this meeting later today and how could that potentially affect the price going forward? So let's just stick with crude and that meeting that we've been talking about. We are joined now by our oil reporter in Singapore. That is Yongcheng Chen. He has been following this story closely. So Yongcheng, are we likely to see a deal today? What are your thoughts on this? Yeah, so indeed, OPEC is in focus for oil markets today as they gather, for this very high -stakes OPEC meeting where they plan production into the new year. So I would say, broadly speaking, there are expectations of Saudi Arabia to roll over the million barrel day cut, a voluntary unilateral cut, I should say, but then also expectations for the group as a whole to make further deeper cuts. And that's kind of a big from what's happening last week. If you recall, they were supposed to have their meeting last week, but there were disagreements with some effort by African of his members African in Nigeria and Angola over whether or not they would have to cut some of their production. So back, I think last week, there were, you know, it was kind of expectations that as of last week, it was meant to be a simple meeting that we just roll it over. But now, with all this, shall we say, a tussle that's emerged, there are increasing expectations for the group to kind of cut oil supply in the face of, well, a loosening, I look at a note from RBC and they underscore that once they can get past the debate with Nigeria, and more importantly, with Angola, that there could be a deeper cut. what Maybe than a lot of the thinking was in the market. What about the supply and demand balance? What kind of data are you working with this morning? Yeah, so I would say that the picture, you know, the supply and demand picture is overall looking a little bit looser than it was, say, a couple months back. If you just recall, you know, a just few months back, Brent was trading up and up and up. There were very much expectations that Brent would hit like, you know, $100 a barrel. That just fizzled out by now. And that's really because of several factors. I would say one of the ones big is the weaker sort of global macroeconomic picture, right? We've got weak economic data out of China. Europe's been having some problems as well. But also some, you know, indicators like time spreads, they've come off quite a bit. The prices of barrels physical in the physical market, they've come off quite a bit as well. The U .S., of course, a little bit you mixed because have the Federal Reserve there and there's expectations that they would, you know, end their cycle of rate hikes. So that's kind of a little bit of a, shall we say, a bullish picture. So, you know, it's overall an uneven picture in the global economy. That's kind of one of one of the things that's kind of weighing on oil, but also increased supply from producers like the U .S., like Brazil, that's and kind of contributing to the looser, you know, supply and demand balance. We are all holding our breath to see what is going to come out of this OPEC Plus meeting in the coming hours. Yong Chang, thank you for sharing some of your insights. That's our oil reporter from Singapore, Yong Chang Chin. I want to get to the broader markets It's in Asia now. Check back in with our expert from Singapore, that is Everal Hong. Everal. I think the BOJ will be among those keeping a very close watch on that OPEC Plus meeting and we are seeing how it has been for the longest time maintaining its stance that inflation will abate. It'll be able to keep to the status quo, but it doesn't look like markets are terribly convinced because if you take a look at the auction for two year notes, this morning we actually saw very, very poor demand, appetite slumped and a gauge of demand actually slumped to the lowest level in more than a decade. So just telling you here how there's a disconnect between what the market sees and what the BOJC sees. But let's flip the board and take a look at the Bank of Korea, that's the other central bank that we are keeping our eyes on in region the because it kept rates unchanged today, this was expected, but it removed the part in its statement that suggests the need for more hikes to come. So suggesting that it is done with those rate hikes and we're seeing the Korean won hovering at a four year high against the greenback, the KOSPI is flat as well on a day that Asia stocks are seeing a bit more positive sentiment. Everill, thank you very much for the round -up, that's Everill Hong there. I want to talk about some of the other corporate stories in the Middle East now with our equity specialist Farah Al -Bahrawi. Farah, let's kick off with the IPO order book. Just

A highlight from Stephen Young & Storm: NFTFi P2P NFT Lending Protocol: From PFPs & Art to RWA
"This is Epicenter Episode 508 with guests Stephen Young and Storm. Welcome to Epicenter, the show which talks about technologies, projects, and people driving decentralization at the blockchain revolution. I'm Brian Farvin Crane and today I'm speaking with Stephen Young and Storm. Stephen is the CEO and co -founder of NiftyFi and Storm is Head of Business Development. NiftyFi is kind of the first NFT lending platform. It's one of the leading and earliest projects in the NFT finance space. So today we're going to talk about NFTs and NFT finance and NiftyFi and, you know, sort of like where all those things are going, pretty excited about this, especially because I'm not very deep in NFT space, so I'm excited to learn more from these two, yeah. So thanks so much for joining us. Thanks for having us, Brian. Excited to fill you and your readers and your listeners in on some of the happenings in NFTs, even though we're kind of in the depths of a bear market, we are all still pretty bullish on this side. Absolutely. Thanks for having us, Brian, very excited to chat. Cool. Maybe you can just start off, if you guys could both introduce yourselves and share a bit, like, how did you, you know, how has your sort of journey into crypto been and how has it led to NiftyFi? Yeah, sure. So my name's Stephen. I've been in tech basically since I was a teenager really, learned to program. My first job was writing a game in C++ when I was still in high school. So it really has been in my career from the start. And I live in South Africa. I spent two years just as I finished high school living in the UK. And then around 2016, did a calculation and figured out that I was earning less in dollars 15 years into my career than I was in my first job living in the UK. And that was basically because the South African rants purchasing power just fallen off a cliff. So I was still in South Africa, enjoy the lifestyle. All my friends were here, but I was looking for a way to kind of escape the financial system here. And really that's how I kind of came across crypto. And then late 2016, bought my first crypto, you know, basically using all, instead of paying into my retirement and UOT, I was buying crypto, which is probably not the most risk like management style for retirement, but you really, you know, like given how badly the South African rand was doing, you really was kind of my only option to, to really exit the system here. So that was 2016, went full -time into crypto like 2018 and then started niftify end of 2019. So basically spent the first two lockdowns in South Africa, writing the first version of niftify and launched in June, 2020. And then my interest in NFTs really came from the way that I actually learned to program as a kid was by doing essentially generative art using this program called logo. It's a less derivative that's essentially used to teach children how to program. And you do that by drawing pictures on the screen with this little turtle. So, you know, so I was into generative arts really as soon as I got into programming. So when NFTs came around, you know, combining art programming, and then I spent most of my career working for financial services companies. So, you know, you know, adding in finance on top of that and you kind of basically have niftify.

South African president appoints judge to oversee weapons-for-Russia inquiry
"The South African president Cyril ramaphosa has appointed a judge to oversee an inquiry into allegations the country supplied arms to Russia. The U.S. ambassador to South Africa claims weapons and ammunition were loaded onto a Russian flagged cargo ship that secretly docked at a naval base near Cape Town in December last year, ambassador Ruben brickett indicated that the allegations were based on U.S. intelligence and that he would bet his life on the accuracy of his claim. The container carrying ship named lady R is already under U.S. sanctions for being tied to a company that has transported weapons to aid the Russian war effort in Ukraine, South Africa has denied there was any government sanctioned deal to provide weapons to Russia, although it hasn't categorically ruled out that an unofficial transaction took place involving another entity. The South African president's office says the panel has 6 weeks to complete its investigations and another two weeks from then to provide a report to ramaphosa. I am Lawrence Brooks

Stephen Strang Rejects the Lie That Faith & Politics Must Be Separate
"With my friend Stephen strang, it's strange without the E strang. He is a bestselling author, founder of charisma, magazine, the new book of spirit led living in an upside down world. But part of what we're talking about right now, and this is a very central subject for me, is dealing with this lie that we've been dealing with in America that somehow faith needs to be separated from politics, that the two, that is not biblical. And you've been very brave Steven strang, not just in writing your book God and Donald Trump. But the point is, you know, we can challenge people and say, listen, if I'm missing something, help me see what I missing. But when the Holy Spirit gets involved, if you believe in the prophetic, which you and I do, you even write in the book about Kim Clement, the South African prophet who in 2007, which is about a million years before anybody thought Donald Trump might run for president. Gave a famous prophecy. Now, you can either say, I don't believe in prophecy. Kind of just, you know, he got lucky. But you write about that and there's a lot to that he was speaking at bethel church in Redding California, which I just was saying bethel church has started a church here in New York City. I'm thrilled to say, but can you talk a little bit about that? Because I don't think we've ever covered that on this program. What a crazy, amazing thing that Kim Clement, who's now been gone to be with the lord, that he actually got a prophecy in 2007. Well, I got to know him in the early 90s when he hadn't been over here from South Africa very long. I really don't remember what prompted it. I do remember being at a convention once and having a long discussion over a meal. I actually had him come and do a retreat for the men on my staff before he was famous, or he wouldn't have done weekend retreats. And I just kind of watched his career. He had a great gift of prophecy. He was able to administer prophetically. He was a worshipper. He was a musician. And if you're not a Pentecostal, sometimes it's hard for you to understand him. He's all over YouTube. People need to Google him on YouTube, and they can see there were two main ones. And I document them and got in Donald Trump. He was the first of several people profits who said that God was raising up this unlikely businessman like Cyrus. Cyrus was the Persian king. Who originally said Cyrus, who was the first prophetic voice to link or maybe you don't know, but I'm just wondering. Probably Lance walnut claims it, but I would have to dig back to find out who you Cyrus to start with. The idea I'm pretty sure. I'm pretty sure it was I. I'm pretty sure it was right. No, it was not. I think you're right. I think it was Lance will now.

"Debt ceiling. We just heard exclusively. Obviously, the interview that Anne Marie houdin did with the treasury secretary Janet Yellen. Yeah, I mean, look, he explains the catastrophic consequences that could come as a sort of happen. He said that it was unfortunate that it never should have happened this way, and lily spelled out how a default would affect contract collateral, clearing houses and clients. But he said, look, his bank is getting ready for a worst case scenario. Hopefully it doesn't happen. Hopefully, if there's not a U.S. default, but he outlined how JPMorgan has a war room that has been made in briefly and in the case that it looks like a deal is not met. Those meetings will up in frequency. So hold into avoid the worst, but being prepared for it nonetheless. Okay, Charlie wells, thank you so much for being with me this morning. Just chewing over really that interview that we had, of course, with the JPMorgan CEO, Jamie Dimon. Now, it's a 9 42 a.m. here in the City of London a very good morning. I'm Caroline Hepburn. We check the markets for you all day long here are at Bloomberg. So looking into the European space this morning, actually reasonably positive, we're up by 7 tenths of 1% on the U.S. stock 651 hundred also gaining full tenth of 1%. In terms of the individual names, Richmond shares hitting a record high in trading this morning, the jury division showing quote spectacular sales growth for the full year, sock gen first quarter fick at sales and trading revenue also beat up 16% year on year. So those are a couple of the names that we're looking at right now. Just in terms of stock futures for the U.S. open, S&P 500 emen is up by two tenths of 1%. The big debate though, of course, it is around the U.S. debt ceiling, even more dire warnings from Janet Yellen speaking exclusively to Bloomberg this morning. The ten year treasury yield right now trading at 3.4% on the two year at 3.91. Actually only up about a basis point. Bloomberg dollar spot index is slightly stronger, the main currency moving on markets this morning, the South African Rand, a plunge of 7 tenths of 1% against the U.S. dollar, although it's been down even more than that this morning and over the week and more than 5% drop as there is a diplomatic spat now escalating between South Africa and the United States crude futures down half of 1% right now and gold trading at $2008 a Troy ounce also off by three tenths of 1%. Right, that is your update on the markets this morning. Let's head over to Louise moon, who has a global news roundup. Good morning, Louise. Good morning. The Wall Street Journal reports that Linda Jacare know NBCUniversal's head of advertising is in talks to become Twitter's new CEO. Elon Musk tweeted that he is transitioning his role to executive chair and CTO, where he will oversee product software and system operations. Musk says the new CEO is slated to start in about 6 weeks. Now the UK economy has eked out a small gain in the first quarter, even though strikes sharply curtailed activity in March. That further reduces the risk of a recession. GDP rose 0.1% from the fourth quarter, according to The Office for national statistics. March's figure showed a 0.3% contraction after no change in February and a small gain in January, which was revised up. And finally, more travel chaos here in the UK. Two days of strikes will bring much of Britain's rail network to a standstill as workers escalate a protest over pay. Commuters face the latest walkout by train drivers represented by asleep today. Tomorrow, thousands of rail workers represented by RMT will strike in a move that may disrupt the final of the Eurovision Song Contest in Liverpool. Global news 24 hours a day powered by more than 2700 journalists and analysts in over 120 countries. I'm Louise moon, this is Bloomberg, Caroline. Louise, thank you so much. Yes, pretty depressing another day of strikes when it comes to the rail network, but perhaps nothing new then we used to it now. Thank you so much. For a roundup of our top stories. Okay, let's move on. The treasury sector Janet Yellen has been speaking exclusively to Bloomberg this morning at in Japan to Anne Marie Jordan, talking about how a U.S. debt default would be an economic and financial catastrophe. So the ratcheting up the pressure there. And when it comes to the fed's path while the latest speaker is Michelle Bowman, who was talking in Frankfurt this morning saying that the fed will likely need to raise interest rates further and hold them there a higher for some time. Joining me this morning in the studio is Marie Jaco cordon, who is the CEO of Edmund de Rothschild's asset management in France, international player in private banking and asset management. For the first time on Bloomberg radio, so I'm so pleased to welcome you. Thank you so much. So there are lots of areas of interest that I'd love your opinion on in terms of the U.S. debt ceiling front and center for markets, of course. How concerned are you about the U.S. failing the X date deadline? Which markets basically would be worse affected as that standoff ratchets up? So look, there is clearly a non negligible risk of the U.S. defaulting on their sovereign debt. That risk is priced by the market. If you look at the level of the U.S. CDS today, it's around a 176 basis points, I think, which is through the roof if you compare to, for example, instances where the U.S. were downgraded, for example, by S&P in the summer 20 11, the CDS was at 77, whereas it's been around 20 basis points historically. So clearly a huge amount of worries around whether or not a compromise will be found our view is that yes, there will be a consensus in the end. And that we need to remember that the negotiations between President Biden and congressman McCarthy have just started, they've met they're going to meet again and we think that the political antagonism is likely to increase before a consensus is found. Okay, so yeah, the credit default swap issue, if you look one year out, more expensive than Mexico and Brazil. Pretty staggering prices. So that is the kind of underlying angst. I suppose the issue is how you position around the X 8, which we think may be the 1st of June. I mean, how you thinking about that sort of positioning just short term? So there are two different scenarios or three in fact. So either they found a solution or there is a short term default. Which would bring a huge amount of volatility to the market and the third one is they default and it would be a long-term default which will be catastrophic for the economy more broadly. Our view is that it consensus would be found. But we've been positioning portfolios in a conservative way for a while. Not only globally, but also in Europe, in fact, and that's really in light of fears of recessions and the pressure that the banks are suffering at the moment and despite the results that we're very positive at the end of the first quarter when the earnings season really released really strong results from companies when you look at what they're saying and what is the outlook that they're envisaging their erring on the side of being more conservative and so we position portfolio to prefer corporate bond over equities and we've taken advantage of government bonds yields rising to increase duration in portfolios on a gradual basis. Okay, that's interesting. So to understand your sort of overall positioning. Specifically, then let's focus on Europe. Just on an economic perspective, how do you write Europe right now in terms of economic performance and going into the next 6 to 12 months? We think that compared to the U.S. there are clearly the tightening cycle is probably 6 months behind. In terms of having a real effect on the economy and slowing down inflation

To the latest on the war in Ukraine, the U.S. ambassador to South Africa told reporters there today that the U.S. is certain that South Africa has provided weapons to Russia in its war with Ukraine. WTO national security correspondent JJ green joins us live with more. U.S. ambassador Rubin Brigadier told reporters today that Washington has reason to believe that a Russian ship that docked near Cape Town at a South African naval base last December quote uploaded weapons and ammunition and as you know from our reporting ammunition has been a serious problem for Russian troops in this war, especially lately. And they've been trying to get it from anywhere they can. The spokesman for South Africa's president to real ramaphosa said that this statement was discouraging, a rather disappointing, saying that the two nations had agreed that an investigation into what happened with the lady are, which was the name of that Russian ship, would be allowed to run its course and that U.S. intelligence would provide any evidence that it had. The State Department has been asked about this, they responded today. We haven't gotten the details about exactly what they said, but we do know that this is a very serious allegation. Reporting live, JJ green, WTO news. Well, JJ, how is Russia making these deals to get weapons from countries like South Africa who say they have no stake in the war in Ukraine? Sean for years, we've watched Kremlin actors scouring Africa for opportunities from north to south from the Atlantic to the Indian oceans. They've gone there with money and they've gone there with handshakes and smiles. They've gone looking for resources and relationships specifically for a time such as this. And president ramaphosa said an investigation is underway into how this alleged shipment happened, but we know that there was a meeting between him and Vladimir Putin. Not long ago, several years ago, and there have been questions about that meeting. There have also been questions about the relationships between others in Africa and people from the, from the Kremlin. And all over the Kremlin, there has been support during this war for Vladimir Putin and from Moscow. Another part of the reason for that problem, according to some, is the scaled back U.S. presence in Africa that's been a problem for years.

US ambassador accuses South Africa of providing arms to Russia; president cites investigation
"The top U.S. diplomat in South Africa is accusing it of giving arms to Russia for the war in Ukraine. Ambassador Rubin Brigadier says the U.S. is certain weapons and ammunition reloaded onto a Russian cargo ship secretly docked at a South African naval base in December. The South African government acknowledges a Russian vessel did dock there, but did not say why. And criticize Brigadier for going public, saying there was a deal for U.S. intelligence services to provide any evidence for use in South Africa's own investigation. The government there says it has a neutral position on the war in Ukraine, but a recent display of closeness with Moscow have raised accusations. It's effectively on Russia's side.

Jack Posobiec Unpacks South Africa's Latest Economic Disaster
"What we've been doing, Charlie, for a long time now, is promoting political agendas ahead of merit head of skill ahead of quality. And we are getting to the point now where because we've been introducing work quotas and we've been introducing these new ideas. We have a transportation secretary who was given his job because of his sex life, who has no qualifications whatsoever for that position. We're now in a position in our country where everything seems like it's just falling apart. All of the systems, the routine maintenance, the trains can't seem to be running properly. And you talk to the left and they'll say, oh, this is because of greed. This is because of capitalism. What's the capitalism? Where's the profit incentive for everything falling apart? No, that doesn't explain it. And so the reason that I brought up South Africa is because if you've just seen a couple of days ago, South Africa's president just announced that they are an energy crisis, their entire energy grid is failing. They are invoking the disaster law now because they're introducing power shortages. They have to do this so they can have any power at all whatsoever. They've also got water issues at the same time. They're having water supply issues. I mean, they're right on the coast. They have plenty of rivers, but at the same time, they can't get water to the people. And so this footage that we're all looking at comes to us by way of Joel Pollock from breitbart. And I just have to say, congratulations at South Africa. You are the first country to achieve total equity, full equality, full inclusion in your workforce, the level of equity and equality is off the charts because everyone is suffering equally. That's the only way and the only outcome that will ever come from forcing equality on an entire country or an entire group of people because human beings are inherently inequal. That's just how it is. We all have different talents. And so what you're seeing there, that those are images of the central mall in Cape Town, South Africa, from just a couple of days ago, that's completely blacked out. And you're seeing this across the country, hospitals are having power issues, kids have to read by candlelight or you're seeing images of kids that, you know, like the strobe light attached to their head kind of stuff, the flashlight, and it's horrifying. It's terrible. And you go back to 1998. And Nelson Mandela, his government, and you can pull this up on the old CNN website. The news CNN, you can never find it. But it says racial quota plan to become law. They called it employment equity, Charlie. Have you heard that phrase before? I know that I have because the parliamentary move would give quote preferences to people on the basis of race and ultimately require racial quotas said anitha Jeffrey of the South African institute of race relations. To push this transition into the quote white dominated ranks and make up for the wrongs of apartheid, Mandela's government backs a plan in which black South Africa.

According to Bloomberg economics, yes, our ink house economists have calculated that Brexit is costing the UK economy a 100 billion pounds a year. So in other words, the economy is 4% smaller than it would have been, had we not left the European Union, because even though the impact on trade isn't as bad as feared, you've got 370,000 workers from the EU missing from the labor market, so holding back growth, but also business investment lagging the G 7 average.

What you have is an anti crisis 26 days of rolling blackouts. Might that impact your economy? How will that play out? What we have to revise your growth rejection for the year. Look, it has been a challenge for 14 years by the way. We started having outages from 2008. And as a kind of husband estimate that those outages over the years have cost about 40% of our performance. So the outages are very, very challenging for us. What we're going to now achieve introducing image and measures in the form of emergency fulfillment of new capacity, emergency maintains and ramping up maintenance. And I think the president will be working on that will be telling the nation of those efforts in due course. Is your GDP projection for the year at risk? None of this stage none of this stage including the inflation if we look at what the projection by the Central Bank is that you are allowed to have 5 points and we should not break the upper limit this year and next day will still be between high but on the upper side of the range. So we're not at stake at the moment, much challenge. Our key problem is that growth issue and the unemployment. Lots of other challenges as well, including food shortage. In fact, the new 1 million more people are living under the poverty line. Do you think the continent is at risk and what's your own observation so far? Yeah. Better difficult depending on the fiscal positions of those different countries. It's likely to have much impact. There's estimates that the about 50 million another 51 million 340 9.

Doc Who Discovered Omicron Was 'Pressured' Into Making It Sound Severe
"I'd like to talk about the ideology of COVID and specifically of the omicron variant. Now the omicron variant was discovered in South Africa. In November, it spread since then to 57 countries. It was discovered by a South African doctor. In fact, the head of the South African medical services. A woman named doctor coxy ZEE. Angelique Kochi. And she described the virus and the symptoms in South Africa and she said, look, this is a contagious variant, more contagious than delta or the earlier variants, but she says its symptoms are also from her experience mild. And she described the South African patients who had this variant, and she basically said, look, these are people who have coughs. They have exhaustion. They have sore throat, but not a whole bunch of them are even ending up in the hospital. Now, interestingly, doctor Cote has a recent interview in the London papers that think it was in the London telegraph originally, but it's now reported elsewhere. Where she says the moment she said that, she started getting pressure from other medical authorities, not in South Africa, but elsewhere in the world, notably from Europe, saying, don't say that, don't say it smile. Don't say it smile, and she goes, well, but it is mild, and she says, quote, she goes, they kept attacking me. They kept telling me I had no idea what I was talking about. Now, the truth of it is, she does have an idea what she's talking about. They have actually now been several studies of the omicron variant. And the study showed that the omicron variant is notably milder than the delta variant. This is not to say that people don't die of all Macron. It's not to say that some people don't end up in the hospital. But basically what she's saying is that even though the sort of the good news and the bad news and the bad news is that all Macron is more contagious, the good news is that it's not as severe on average. So she's actually telling the truth about it, but what I think is striking is the way in which she was a subjected to this kind of medical and ideological, bullying. She goes, they are accusing me of lying of downplaying or only crime. Quote, in their minds, it's impossible for a disease with more than 38 mutations to be

"Product of instant cameras but ends up that this 20 something year old chemist was going to lunch with her friend in the art department, and she saw a bulletin board. That had a picture of an I D card and it said Republic of South Africa on it, and so those two look at each other, and they're like, what's puller? It got to do with South Africa? Because this is 1970 both these people at lunch you're both employees of Polaroid. They're both employees of a Polaroid and South Africa in 1970 had an apartheid system and citizens knew that Things were bad over there, and also they knew not to really operate with South Africa. So what is it that this most love company? What are they doing with South Africa? Well, what these two employees Caroline Hunter and Ken Williams found Is that every black South African All 15 million of them had to carry with them. A passbook. Ah, passbook was 20 page document, which told officials where this person could go where they could not go. It was a way to control and monitor their whereabouts. At the heart of the passbook was a picture made my buy Polaroid, So this was a way to document and control the whereabouts of people and because Polaroid had made this fantastic technology of generating images very rapidly. This was a fast way to capture the image of 15 million people. These cameras reportable it didn't require a dark room. So this was buttressing this apartheid system. But Polaroid was really doing this. It sounds like quietly and did not want it covered much, and the U. S in the U. S. It was not known, but in South Africa, it was known and Polaroid didn't have a company there, but they had a distributor. So that's how it wasn't a completely clear. That they were linked to South Africa. But this is what Caroline and Ken found out and Polaroid had a presence in South Africa since 1930. It's just that they always use distributors to sell their products. So Carolina can they're going to lunch. They kind of get it the first inklings of what's going on here. And what did they do? What ended up happening as they kind of themselves were uncovering the story. Well, this is a 1970. There was a lot of upheaval at the time. And people are feeling very connected to how their work is being used in cos you know, the labor movement is kind of is healthy at that time. And so Ken goes and talks to management says Look, It doesn't seem right that what I'm working on is actually buttressing this oppressive regime and management says Oh, we don't have any cameras there, and if we do it, it's a small number. But Caroline and can knew that You didn't need a lot of cameras in order to do what they were doing, which is to capture the likeness of black South Africans so and they weren't really satisfied with that answer. So what they did before the age of the Internet is they protested, and first they generated flyers, and they posted them on bulletin boards and bathrooms to let people know And then they had rallies to tell people about what was going on, and student groups got involved. And soon this became a snowball effect. It took about seven years, but eventually Polaroid withdrew from South Africa. Both of those employees, Caroline and Ken were fired. Ultimately what happened? What happened to them? Uh, well, they got jobs. I mean, they were kind of blackballed. Polaroid was like the biggest employer of in Cambridge, Massachusetts, so it was hard for them to find. Another job in Cambridge can found a job at the library. He was in the A V department. Caroline didn't work as a chemist. She was an administrator in the public schools in Boston. Carolina's still alive. I've spoken to her a number of times. So when you think about the materials that helped shape photography and then how those materials boomerang back and like shaped us, How do you think about This and there's like so many. We start with Leland Stanford. I mean, there's like so many, you know, pieces of this and twists and turns. Well, in the alchemy of us. The chapter is called Capture Chapter four. And it seems very Lee Innocents where first we're just looking at the picture of a horse. That seems very nice. And then we learned a little bit about a Reverend Reverend Hannibal Goodwin, who actually made color film before George Eastman, and they're in a huge patent battle, so things get a little difficult. And then we see that the film itself has a built in bias and then how this film is also used as a tool. So it is like black and white film itself, where it starts off one way and then it ends up being another way. So I kind of used the way that I modeled. The chapter is a metaphor for film as well that you know, there are two sides of this. There's a dark side, and there's a not so dark side s. Oh, that's that's how I kind of see how photography can be viewed. Where does the science stand now? I mean, I think you write about like, you know, even I don't know if they're still true now, but like interracial couples that they're at an event together, they can have problems with this kind of late, dark balance and photographs because You know, One person may get totally washed out. But if you adjust things the other way than other people's features can't be seen. And I just give me a sense of where the science stands in terms of the materials Now they're used for photography. Well, the science the algorithms air that are different than the science. I think the pixels that pick up the images they're able to do things. It's the algorithms and how they manage the image that's still problematic, so it's still difficult for people of different races to get a great image together. I have an old friend and we've been taking picture. I'm African Americans. She's not African American, and we've known each other for decades. And we're still trying to get a very good image of ourselves together. So I'm for personal reasons. I'm looking forward to people fixing this problem, but there's still a bias. It's not in the tech. It's in the software and the Sarah marries is a scientist. She's the author of the Alchemy of us How humans and Matter Transformed one Another. And He said, Thank you so much for being here.

South African variant was first identified in the nation late last month. In South Carolina. Scientists and health officials feared the new variants could be more contagious, less responsive to treatments like vaccines and more likely to re infect people who already had the virus.
