"Blah, blah, blah. And then on the bottom it says, the finest in eye makeup, yet sensibly priced. Oh, so that is the selling point. Yes. And here, Kate, you can see, this was the original tube. It looks exactly like the tube that's sitting on the table in front of me. Yeah. It has the green cap. It has the pink body, the colors are slightly more muted, but it's hard to say whether that's just because of this is a vintage ad. The lettering on the pink is gold. Whereas now that Kate says, it has more of kind of an 80s vibe actually. But it's recognizable as great lash mascara. Also, there's so much text in that ad. It's like a book. Yeah, but I feel like that's what older ads always used to be. Like, sure, we'll give you tons of information. Totally, totally. And you could buy it at the time. I found an ad in World War for woolworths in a newspaper. It was a dollar 27. Okay. That's great. Yeah. And woolworths. And one of Maybelline's older mascara products that had launched in the 60s called ultra lash mascara was 67 cents. So the ultra lash was like more expensive, more exciting. You mean, not the ultra lashes marks. Sorry, the great lash was more expensive. Right. So just adding a dollar to the price tag made it. Well, it's like an upsell, essentially. Yeah, yeah, made it made it an upsell. And you see this kind of throughout the 70s and 80s, like how they are pitching the product and who they're pitching it to. If you remember a lot of the product recalls that we've done already, a lot of the ads were kind of sexy. Yes. A lot of sex selling, right? Yeah. In the 70s and 80s, and Maybelline with great lash takes kind of a different tag, they're really targeting the working woman. Okay. So it's a commercial from 1986. And Kate, what you will see in here, well actually I want to hear what you see. Okay, I'll do a play by play. Okay.

"For smaller groups with potentially more competitive business models to break up monopolies in marketplaces, where in traditional markets they would find it much harder, for example, if I wanted to open up a supermarket or a chain of supermarkets compete with causal woolworths, I would have no chance. But in this digital world with the advent of tokens, they can create the right incentives in the marketplace to then challenge the dominant players and create billion dollar businesses in literally months if they get the model right. And this is a true I think innovation in financial markets in markets itself. Exactly, which is what blue has done. They come on the scene in October. They've had a model that they want to change, and they've done their job with their token. That's exactly right. And let's all forget, looks rare tried to do this. This is not the first time a competitor has done an edge or to compete with open say and they've sort of fell off the wayside. Yeah, keeping those incentives high over time is one of the challenges. You know, because as these organizations become bigger, they can afford to give less and less away because then it would dilute the value of the total organization to the current yard token holders or equity holders, whereas at the beginning it doesn't matter about giving away the nominal value of $500 million because you're actually creating value. You're not taking it from anyone. Yeah, exactly. Well, again, we'll come back to you with some more information about how that's going in a future episode. On to our next story, there's so much going on when it comes to regulation, Craig's favorite topic. I could actually write a book, but I've picked out what I think we should be talking about. So there's some stuff here that you're probably coming across yourself and we're not talking about it. And if you do, then please send us an email. There's some details in the show notes below. But let's move on to this story that we mentioned in our intro that seems like there is a bit of a war on crypto from the SEC at the moment. And there's actually it's actually been dubbed operation choke .2 by one of the crypto natives, which I think is a bit of a crack out. But look, they continuing to crack down on a streak in new ways all the time. And at the moment, it's a high profile case against terraformer labs and do kwon. This one's well underway at the moment. We won't go into that one today because there is a lot to take on with that one, but obviously how long ago was Luna Blake? That was yeah, doke one was the founder of Luna that happened about middle of last year about 8 9 months ago and turned a while. Yeah, and Tara form labs. What did they do? Well, that was a landmark. Yeah, that's behind Luna. So finally, the case behind that has been brought to the court this week, but again, that they said it's going to take another three months to actually play out so that's actually finally in the courts and happening and will and that's why now. As well as a $1.4 million fine against a former NBA player Paul Pierce.

"A.m. in London. I'm Tom Mackenzie. And I'm Caroline Hebrew home welcome to Bloomberg daybreak. We're in a moment we'll be speaking to Bloomberg's Paul Wallace, OPEC plus expected to boost supply later today, so we'll delve into that story in terms of the markets. Let's start with oil prices at $76 14 the barrel for WTI crew features. We're steady in terms of oil prices. Asian stocks mostly advancing U.S. and European futures for the stock market open up two tenths of one percent. Follows, of course, a record high for the S&P 500 on the first new year day trading session. Yesterday, in terms of yields, the ten year treasury yield topping 1.6% investors bracing for the fed rate height so that they expect to see this year. Bloomberg dollar spot index is slightly softer. Actually reversing right now is a little bit stronger at the moment for the blue bag dollar spot index. Those are the markets. Okay, you touched on oil, OPEC and its allies may boost production again when they meet today. Delegates say the group is on track to increase output by a modest 400,000 barrels a day, restoring supplies shuttered during the pandemic. The decision would come after the group's analyst cut estimates for the surplus expected in the first quarter OPEC plus has restarted about two thirds of the production it halted in 2020 and is seeking to drip feed the remainder to avoid sending the oil market into a new slump. And now the theranos founder Elizabeth Holmes has been found guilty of criminal fraud over the collapse of her blood testing company, a federal jury in the U.S. convicted homes on four counts out of the 11 that she faced. The 37 year old now faces up to 20 years in prison during the trial Holmes accused her former boyfriend and business partner sunny balwani of abuse, he denies those claims and faces his own Ford trial next month. And Bloomberg has been told The White House is likely to nominate economist Philip Jefferson for a seat on the fed board of governors. He'd be just the fourth black man to hold the position in the central banks more than hundred year history. Jefferson is an economics professor at Davidson college in North Carolina and has worked at the fed twice before. Okay, those are a few of our top stories this morning. Let's get the latest in global news headlines with me basically and parents highly own. Caroline good morning and thank you. Let's start with some grim news under the U.S. which is set to global daily record of over 1 million coronavirus cases today, infections have nearly doubled over the last four days as a highly mutated omicron variant spreads. Health officials are hopeful that deaths will not rise as much as infections. Now here in the UK, Boris Johnson is warning the house service will remain under strain for weeks amid the current surge in cases that the government is insisting there is no data suggesting further restrictions on necessary in England. The prime minister says that omicron variant seems to cause milder symptoms, but we must not get carried away about that. Sadly, the people who are getting into ICU are the people who aren't boosted, so get boosted. Meanwhile, multiple hospitals have declared critical incidences amid warnings to NHS is in a state of crisis in the face of staff shortages caused by the coronavirus. Now the UK is not the only country suffering from staff shortages in Australia businesses are facing a labor squeeze as an omicron variant isolates workers there. Bloomberg's Karen Lee has more. Shoppers and sunny Sydney are facing empty shelves at grocery stores as a COVID surge forces staff from truck drivers to warehouse workers into isolation. Australia's biggest supermarket operator woolworths group said some store deliveries are being delayed by virus related impacts on the supply chain. Cases in New South Wales are hampering deliveries from major distribution centers to suburban markets as the state records more than 100,000 cases in the past 5 days. In Sydney, Karen Lee Bloomberg daybreak Europe and newly released documents show the women suing prince andrey for sexual assault took a half $1 million payment in a confidential 2009 settlement with Jeffrey Epstein, the deal required Virginia giuffre to release any other person involved in the case from litigation, the prince says that means her lawsuit is barred, but you phrase lawyers say it is irrelevant, Andrew has denied all the allegations against him. Global news 24 hours a day on air and on Bloomberg quicktake, powered by more than 2700 journalists and analysts in more than 120 countries and Jan guerin's this is Bloomberg, Tom. Thank you, Leanne. Okay, we mentioned OPEC and its allies meeting today for the first time this year to discuss what we can expect and the outlook for oil this year were joined by Middle East energy and commodities editor Paul Wallace, Paul, what is expected then from the OPEC plus meeting today is an addition to production almost certainly baked in. I Tom, that Sunday what I try to do most of the market are expecting and I think it will be quite a smooth meeting today and the group will go ahead with that 400,000 barrels per day and increase for next month that you mentioned earlier. So this should all funds out that this should be one of the easier meetings that OPEC plus has had over the last year. Okay, so perhaps an easier meeting, but then what happens later on this quarter, the market plus OPEC itself sees the all market switching from a supply deficit to a surplus this quarter, so perhaps that will put pressure on prices. Yes, and OPEC plus has this sort of tricky balancing act at the moment. The group itself and sees the market switching from a supply deficit to a surplus of about 1.4 million barrels a day over the first quarter and it thinks that's what actually increased and in the second quarter. So that could put pressure on prices. But the group is fairly confident that demand will continue rising and that the omicron variant is not going to have that bigger hit on oil consumption. And there's two suppliers that are taking our attention at the moment, Paul, Iran, where it seems there's been some modest progress in negotiations in Vienna that potentially could see some more Iranian oil put on the market and then Libya where the flip side has happened and you saw a reduction in output from that country and prices rose yesterday on the back of that. What is the latest when it comes to Iran and Libya? Yes, these are two of the big risks for oil traders. And Libya, the problem is shutdowns. The country to the country's production is down by about half a million barrels a day in the last couple of weeks. I mean, that is that is significant if that carries on for a whole month, that wipes out all the gains that all the additional supplies that OPEC plus is putting putting onto the market. In Libya, the problems are political and some of the shutdowns have been caused by militias holding oil fields there. And yes, as you mentioned, Iran is something something else that traders are looking at very closely. They're watching the nuclear negotiations taking place in Vienna. There has been some modest progress. But I think most traders are not expecting any kind of deal or that would lead to extra Iranian exports until at least the middle of this year. Okay. The other big theme though in terms of geopolitics that could have a big impact on all markets is Russia Ukraine, the potential for military action for conflict. What does that mean for oil and gas markets indeed? Any kind of flare up on the Russian UK canyon border would definitely have a big probably almost certainly have a big impact on all the prices and could push them there. So that's that is probably the main geopolitical risk for oil markets right now. Paul, what about the pressure from The White House as they keep a firm eye on inflation? Is that a factor that OPEC plus will be considering or can they look through in the Saudis and co look through that pressure from Biden and

"Control. Isn't it just capitalism though? I think it probably is 14 minutes away from Sims. He's talks at the international correspondence with Fisher funds, specialists and managed funds and kiwisaver. Richard, good morning to you. Good morning, Mike. How bad in Puerto Rico? Oh boy, it doesn't look good. You'd have to give the function to Puerto Rico for wondering if this is how it is now storm damage on the island from hurricane Fiona has been in the words of officials there today catastrophic. Again, this is exactly 5 years to the day since the place was devastated by hurricane Maria. That's when some 3000 people you recall lost their lives. You remember that Donald Trump went down there at the time as president and through paper towels to some of the survivors and reality many had to get by for months and months and months with devastated homes and in some places the power was out for 8 months to count them. The power now is out yet again to about two thirds of the island and says governor Pedro Pierre louisi of the power system. It is fried gile. Yeah. Well, that's great to hear, isn't it? After all of this time. He says of conditions there. Most customers I hope will get their power back within days. How many days that remains to be seen? Good luck, folks. The rainfall has been 30 inches, 760 millimeters in some spots, so huge areas are underwater. So there's one resident who was just getting back to normal life after Maria. They worked so hard for their game to not generate again. President Biden has been online with Puerto Rican officials, he's declared a federal emergency on the island, but for now it looks once more like a major disaster. Now, Afghanistan, we've got the last hostage. Yeah, this is a fellow who has been held there for three years. Navy veteran Mark, Ferris who had been working in Kabul as a civil engineer. So trying to help the place he was working on 8 projects. He was last heard from in a hostage videotape where he read from a Taliban script. Please. Release me. Yeah, he was freed now and I carefully orchestrated a deal at caval airport. This engineer was released in exchange for a man named Bashir Zai, who was a convicted drug dealer. Not a small time drug dealer. This man was convicted by a New York court of seeking to smuggle into the U.S. heroin valued at more than $50 million. So if you're exchanged, drug kingpin for 8 engineer, as I was greeted by Taliban fighters as a hero and was covered by his Taliban cronies with garlands of flowers. How nice or not seeing a couple of days Richard on sight side just before we leave there, this is one to follow. Federal appeals court is upheld a Texas law. Now, it's seeking to curb censorship by social media, major victory for the Republicans, of course, Twitter and Facebook are limiting free speeches what their argument is. It's a major league of battle that's probably going to end up in the Supreme Court. So the lawsuit is challenging what they call HB 20. It's a Texas bill signed into law by Greg ebbett that regulates social media platforms with more than 50 million monthly users, so your facebooks your twitters, et cetera it says they can not censor or limit users speech based on viewpoint expression. So the judge in the case, Andrew Oldham of the 5th circuit, he says platforms argued, quote unquote, a rather odd version of the First Amendment that buried somewhere in the person's enumerated right to free speech lies a corporation's and a numerated right to muzzle speech. Today we reject the idea that corporations have a freewheeling first amendment right to censor what people say. So in other words, their argument is, you can say whatever you want and Zuckerberg can't touch you. So we'll see what that goes. Ten to 7. You've talked zippy headlines with Avon city Ford, hybrid puma and focus available now with carbon rebate. On the way to 13°, the Queen Elizabeth II Memorial Day bill passes under urgency in the house, climate change expected to be top of mind at the United Nations General Assembly, and sport nipple inns did soldier on with Jamaica series mired by off court drama, and banks not forced in New Zealand to offload luggage on flagship flight read more ended here old premium.

Traffic delays expected at the Lincoln widely darington intersection due to safety improvements. A bank ozona for time saber traffic. And now it's Geico's motorcycle rules of the road. Avoid biking in The Rain and never touch another person's bike. Hey guys, look at these bikes. So shiny. Whoops. I'm gonna leave a note. Oh gosh, there's more. And the rule for saving on motorcycle insurance is in 15 minutes Geico could save you 15 percent or more. The Mike husky breakfast with radius care. Use talk she'd be. Check out the story in the ODT this morning only 300 out of the more $400,000 in COVID breach finds has been collected unreal. $300 out of 400,000. Does that surprise you then to be fierce given away from 7 by the way? Huge majority of mural candidates do not like three waters. This is on the back I Todd yesterday repeated ons piece. Very good only 44 days left in the parliament until the next election he explains how that works, but the government are going to run out of time to do the big stuff. So the majority of people running for mirror in this country don't like three waters. In fact, the number is of 291 mural candidates. 75.3% said they're not in favor of it. Three quarters, the government is on a loser. This thing backs like a dog. It's even more stuck comparing north and south island candidates just two. Of the 58 south island candidates. 3%. We're begging for in other words, 97% don't Beck three waters. In the main center, 63% say the reforms would not achieve their rights. So it doesn't matter which way you slice it. It's a dog and the government need to dump it and they'll dump it before the election mark my words. I've said that all along then. We've got their other big Thought Bubble, which is the income insurance techs. They call it a scheme, it's a tax because you will not have a choice as to whether you participate or not, you will be text, and your employer will be text. And now we find out because the submissions have been released. That what happens is that major employers in this country are against it. Woolworths, new Zealand I employ 20,000 people they did not support it currently designed, they really made staff redundant. This is a very good point they make. They're really made staff redundant. So the scheme would take much needed earnings from the team members take home pay to fund a scheme that they will most likely never need. Auckland university, they're against it, what they're saying is we'll hold on. It'll take 75% of the funds that we've currently budgeted for future salary increases and give them to the government. Right wise, they don't like it. They got 4000 staff. They argue the same as woolworth, the majority of staff have long tenures with the company. They're keen to see any income insurance scheme, including appropriate protections and incentives for businesses to avoid cross subsidization by businesses such as freight ways of organizations who pursue far more aggressive displacement programs. So in other words, what they're saying, there are some companies and industries that just sort of lay off at certain times of year and that's what they do. These people are going to click, click, click, click the old insurance. People like freightways, good companies who don't lay anybody off in fact they're growing because they're a success story. They're the ones not laying anybody off and therefore their people are paying for the people who get laid off. How ridiculous is that? So that's another dog. And that's from a government who said there'd be no more taxes yet, there are more taxes. It's going to be an interesting year, isn't it 5 minutes away from 7? All the ins and the outs. It's the fizz on the Mike hosking breakfast on news talk ZB. Speaking of work, then we come to the future of working with it involves a four day week, so beckon junior will remember the world's biggest trial begin of four day working week in Britain and had had more than 70 organizations 3300 employees taking part while we're at the halfway point now, and the claim is things look okay. 34% of the organizations taking part say their business productivity has improved slightly. 15% say it's improved significantly, 46% say it's stayed around the same level. So it's about half and half, isn't it really? That leaves 5% same productivity's gone, got worse. ID 6% claim that the rather extremely likely all likely to retain the short and week after the trials are over, and this comes to South Africa. As the latest country to launch a new trial, there are now 5 pilot programs operating globally. Ride out to pink lamington who thought so grants and the northern part of the country, dildo country, really, that's where Steven Joyce was and certainly where the pooh flew with Don bresch, but granton in Northland. And he's seeing the pink lamington. And fortunately he's got the DPS, he's got the diplomatic protection squad there because they call him the Peter file and they wanted to. Well, he suggests the leamington never lift anyone's hand. So was it a weapon? Of leamington destruction or I was fully loaded, wasn't it? It probably felt like. Anyway, look, I don't even know whether this is how messed up this country at the moment. So what they're saying is, we're worried about the election campaign, there are some people out there who want to cause us trouble, they might yell and boo and they might throw leamington, so we need more protection. What are we going to do? Maybe just send us never going to be seen in a mall ever again. David Seymour shortly. MVP's bonus days are back at Lowe's. Right now, get a special bogo offer from Bosch.

"woolworths" Discussed on The Garden Question

"So we started selling to some of the grocery store chains. It wasn't long after that. When we started seeing a few flower starting close up or really struggle years later, we realized that we were sailing to was starting to really sink. So we started looking for some other avenues of what can we sell and how can we diversify our business about this same time? We had some ball seed representatives come to us and guys, look, we've got some really fast turns on a new. I think they called it spark plug at the time, but it was basically. You don't have to grow these little annuals by seeing anymore. We've got a way to get you a quick little starter plug and in 6 to 8 weeks you can put this out on the market and we think this is the thing of the future. Well, we started growing a few of those. And sure enough, we found some little places to sell some, whether it was a new little garden center or that time we might have still been doing a little business with some little down stores like woolworths or we might have been selling to Kmart at the same time. That was hard to diversifying our mixture of what we could do. That helped the business up for a little while. But what I had no idea was the people that were really going under. What I mean by that is all of a sudden I receivables were getting pretty heavy people were really struggling to pay their bills and to keep their businesses low. I think that was part of it. It was a real shift in the way people were purchasing plant material. I'm going to say around 1989, both brothers brought sons back into the business. Kind of keeping the family dynamics level, if you will. One was a full tenured professor out in California, Cal poly. He was a horticulture major, of course, his name was Rick and Kurt had just finished up his degree at University of Georgia and agricultural economics with some new blood in and sit down and have everything looked on the table and the best for the company. I thought we did a real good job making some changes and boy, it all came back to faster about two or three years later, just couldn't make some final decisions on where we needed to go, what we needed to stop doing that was costing the company money. You can see both sides of it had some loyalties there with one brother who said, these people have been supporting us for 50 years. We can't turn our back on. If I can certainly see that side of it, and then mister George and current had a little bit more progressive approach. The two brothers parted ways in 1992, George and Kurt started this business with about 8 people, took 8 of the employees from the other location..

"Energy prices just notoriously difficult to predict aren't they even And just to give a little sense of the volatility we've seen here looking at prices on the Bloomberg terminal this is natural gas futures for February 2022 and pricing pounds per firm you go back to 2021 It was usual to see prices around the 50 mark They spiked up in October to around 300 Then they came down then they spiked up again in December to around 450 pounds of them but now we're down at 211 This kind of volatility it will find its way into consumer aim to consumer bills won't it but we just don't know the full extent of that just yet So we don't have a very global pressure energy prices in particular across the world It's true And the UK have this energy price cut every single kind of 6 month the government upgrades it by this time I said to go by 600 pounds we see this kind of started jump build for consumers as well This also led to a concentration of the energy market to look at is very much a global factors that are pushing that energy prices or the cost is the government that are responded in some way If you clinically be savvy to do so but we're going to have to see what happens Yes Tell me that's a little bit more about the research that you're doing at the moment It currently researching the political and economic causes of income inequality You've seen this from a policy making perspective though because you previously were at the treasury now from a more academic perspective I mean what are the insights that you're gathering even So the main thing is that actually government tend to redistribute money to those voters who support them So this is the 2010 golf but it's always been about pensioners as well as those on high income That's really what we see and see if you're a low income pitch that you've been protected throughout this kind of period of the same as very much true of this conservative government as well We've seen a pension that they've relatively well protected the universal credit is still being caught on the economics of business side of what does that end up being they get ends up being that actually those on low income don't pensions are going to be hit by government decisions So don't expect to use about large going towards them expect the kind of tax cuts They're going to order that Electoral College because the particular higher income taxes as well as pensioners and also homeowners and increasingly important in this country house price increases are certainly helped to reward that conservative coalition in a way that income does it There's really been a decoupling between how much income we get and how well you are doing Thank you very much Thanks for joining us Steven sander economist at King's College London and former treasury official thanks for joining us Really good to get your perspective Let's step back and get a look at the global news flow here with a global news update is greenback's land games Anna good morning and thank you Let's start with some grim news out of the U.S. which has set a global daily record of over 1 million coronavirus cases today Infections have nearly doubled over the last four days as a highly mutated on cron variant spreads health officials are hopeful that deaths will not rise as much as infections Here in the UK Boris Johnson is warning the house service will remain under strain for weeks amid the current surge in cases for the government is insisting there is no data suggesting further restrictions are necessary in England The prime minister says that on the variant seems to cause milder symptoms but vaccines are still essential Sadly the people who are getting into ICU are the people who aren't boosted so get boosted Meanwhile multiple hospitals have declared critical incidences amid warnings to NHS is in a state of crisis in the face of staff shortages caused by the coronavirus Now the UK is not the only country suffering from staff shortages in Australia businesses are facing a labor squeeze as the immigrant variant isolates workers Bloomberg's Karen Lee has more Shoppers in sunny Sydney are facing empty shelves at grocery stores as a COVID surge forces staff from truck drivers to warehouse workers into isolation Australia's biggest supermarket operator woolworths group said some store deliveries are being delayed by virus related impacts on the supply chain Cases in New South Wales are hampering deliveries from major distribution centers to suburban markets as the state records more than 100,000 cases in the past 5 days In Sydney Karen Lee Bloomberg daybreak Europe and newly released documents show the woman suing Prince Andrew for sexual assault took a half $1 million payment in a confidential 2019.

"In global news headlines with regards to the end guarantee Caroline good morning and thank you Let's start with some grim news onto the U.S. which is set a global daily record of over 1 million coronavirus cases today infections have nearly doubled over the last four days as a highly mutated on Macron variant spreads Health officials are hopeful that deaths will not rise as much as infections Now here in the UK Boris Johnson is warning the house service will remain under strain for weeks amid the current surge in cases for the government is insisting there is no data suggesting further restrictions are necessary in England The prime minister says that variance seems to cause milder symptoms but we must not get carried away about that Sadly the people who are getting into ICU are the people who aren't boosted so get boosted Meanwhile multiple hospitals have declared critical incidences amid warnings to NHS as in a state of crisis in the face of staff shortages caused by the coronavirus Now the UK is not the only country suffering from staff shortages in Australia businesses are facing a labor squeeze as a variant isolates workers there Bloomberg's current Lee has more Shoppers in sunny Sydney are facing empty shelves at grocery stores as a COVID surge forces staff from truck drivers to warehouse workers into isolation Australia's biggest supermarket operator woolworths group said some store deliveries are being delayed by virus related impacts on the supply chain Cases in New South Wales are hampering deliveries from major distribution centers to suburban markets as the state records more than 100,000 cases in the past 5 days In Sydney Karen Lee Bloomberg daybreak Europe and nearly released documents show the women suing prince Andre for sexual assault took a half $1 million payment in a confidential 2009 settlement with Jeffrey Epstein the deal required Virginia giuffre to release any other person involved in the case from litigation The prince says that means her lawsuit is barred but you phrase lawyers say it is irrelevant Andrew has denied all the allegations against him Global news 24 hours a day on air and on Bloomberg quick tag powered by more than 2700 journalists and analysts in more than 120 countries and January This is Bloomberg Tom Thank you Leanne Okay we mentioned OPEC and its allies meeting today for the first time this year to discuss what we can expect and the outlook for oil this year were joined by Middle East energy and commodities editor Paul Wallace Paul what is expected then from the OPEC plus meeting today is an addition to production almost certainly baked in That's what I try to do in most of the market are expecting and I think it will be quite a smooth meeting today and the group will go ahead with that and 400,000 barrels per day increase for next month that you mentioned earlier So this should all funds are that this should be one of the easier meetings that OPEC plus has had over the last year Okay so perhaps an easier meeting but then what happens later on this quarter the market plus OPEC itself sees the oil market switching from a supply deficit to a surplus this quarter so perhaps that will put pressure on prices Yes And plus has this sort of tricky balancing act at the moment The group itself and sees the market switching from a supply deficit to a surplus of about 1.4 million barrels a day over the first quarter And I think that's actually increased in the second quarter So that could put pressure on prices But the group is fairly confident that demand will continue rising and that the omicron variant is not going to have that bigger hit on oil consumption And there's two suppliers that are taking our attention at the moment Paul Iran where it seems there's been some modest progress in negotiations in Vienna that potentially could see some more Iranian oil put on the market and then Libya where the flip side has happened and you saw a reduction in output from that country and prices rose yesterday on the back of that What is the latest when it comes to Iran and Libya Yes These are two of the big risks for oil traders And Libya the problem is shutdowns The country the country's production is down by about half a million barrels a day in the last couple of weeks I mean that is that is significant Is that carries on for a whole month that wipes out all the gains that all the additional supplies that are picked plus is putting onto the market In Libya the problems are political and some of the shutdowns have been caused by militias Halting oil fields there And yes as you mentioned Iran is something else that is looking at very closely They're watching the nuclear negotiations taking place in Vienna There has been some modest progress But I think most traders are not expecting any kind of deal or that would lead to extra or any exports until at least the middle of this year Okay the other big theme though in terms of geopolitics that could have a big impact on all markets is Russia Ukraine the potential for military action for conflict What does that mean for oil and gas markets indeed Any kind of flare up on the Russian Ukrainian border would definitely have a big would probably almost certainly have a big impact on oil prices and could push them So that's that is probably the main geopolitical risk for oil markets right now What about the pressure from The White House as they keep a firm eye on inflation Is that a factor that OPEC plus will be considering or can they look through from the Saudis and co look through that pressure from Biden and his team The pressure from Biden and The White House has eased a bit on the group in the last in the last month but it is still there And I think it's definitely something that the Saudi arabians and other members of pet will be looking at when they make their decisions They want to ensure that prices they want to continue putting enough supplies on the market to ensure that demand has met but at the same time they definitely don't want prices dropping much from this position of 75 $80 a barrel So they will be somewhat where at least the U.S. is saying but at least that pressure from Biden has turned down a bit Just a little bit And just the last word then on where we stand in terms of inventories right now Inventories are at historical lows and I think that's the main reason that OPEC plus is not worried about this supply surplus that it's that it's predicting for the first half of this year and beyond When the COVID COVID pandemic hit for the first time in oil oil demand crashed and plus a very much wanted to bring global inventories down and that's what it's managed to do very successfully over the last 18 months So I don't think it will mine inventories rising a bit for the cost of this year given how low they are Okay Bloomberg's Middle East energy and commodities editor Paul Wallace getting his up to speed on the energy complex and that OPEC plus meeting Thank you Now coming up next I'll put it back daybreak We're going to speak to Janet Murray head of market analysis at brewin dolphin The last couple of years have been so difficult with the pandemic yet returns have been incredible Is 2022 going to be a year like that Doesn't look as if big financial institutions think so but still there could be opportunities Three straight years of double digit gains on the S&P 500 are quite remarkable will that continue we spoke to an equity strategist.

When I was in high school, I was president of the white club, the YMCA club, and every year we would go to rocky go camp and eating in Georgia. I think is where it's at. And so I was there. Right after I'd been adopted, they let me go. I've been sent to the foster home. They let me go to rocky goal. And I skipped class one day, and if you know me, I'm pretty much a rule follower. I don't skip class. I love school. I love anything to do with learning. But I skimp class that day, so my girlfriends and odd could do something stupid like tail stories or whatever. And then Missouri, who's our sponsor comes in and says sherry, did you skip class a day? I'm like, damn, I can't even get one class. I get caught, you know? Miss goody two shoes here. Yes. I started delight. Yeah, exactly. But the reason why she asked is because my mother and her partner were waiting outside the door of the classroom, I was in. Now, how they found out where I was, I have no idea how they realized that I was in that particular class. I have no idea, but they called security. Later, I found out from Sandra and Mike that they had to take a TPO out of my mother because she threatened to kidnap brought and clay. And there were a couple of times when they would show up and I would call Mike and say, please come help me when I worked at rev co drugs. I don't know if you remember. I even had drugs working out of fresco woolworths, you know, all of the old stores, the Ben Franklin. Yeah. But eventually they, I guess they gave up. I can tell you for years, even as recent as a month ago, I would have dreams that I would I was back home, and I would be taken back home with that everything that I had was gone because they brought me back home. And we're back to their house. That's not a dream. That's called a nightmare. Yeah, it was bad. And then I'd wake up and realize that's not the case. But I went to Georgia southern college because sander had gone to Georgia southern college and I was a huge dog fan and still am I reiterate the fact that the dogs are freaking awesome. Good dogs. Go dogs. Thank you, Steve. When the dogs are playing football, sure, and are usually swapping text messages just back. Exactly. Yeah. And do you want to page any bets on the college football playoffs? What we've got you here in front of millions and millions of people. Don't think I won't hold you and let her know how to do it. You have side the headboy. In a heartbeat, I'll do it. I'm afraid that leaves in Michigan. And I told him the other day. I said, let's place the band, because I'm good. I'm a trash talker. I can just tell you right there when it comes to football I'm a trash talker. I'll tell you, I will be a dog fan. I just want them to beat Michigan because I hate Michigan. And Jim Harbaugh and anything that Michigan stands for in May's in blue. And anything dealing with just anyway, because I'm a Notre-Dame guy. So but I will root for Georgia, JoJo on that game. We'll talk about bets later. But let us get back to our regularly scheduled podcast, which is about you. So you go to Georgia southern. Why? I mean, you guys were poor. How the hell did you end up going to college? Scholarships, I got a couple.

He still loves setting up those creepy scenes for me. It was saving up my allowance to buy my halloween costume. There was a woolworths around the corner. And i remember seeing the costumes in boxes all laid out on the old wooden counter. Usually i chose to be skeleton. We remember the excitement and the fear mixed with our strange attraction to the dark side. We still love. How masks and costumes let us escape our identity and allow us to be someone or something other than we actually are even if only for one night through something seductive about halloween maybe because of its pagan origins in all europe and our judeo christian upbringing we were led to believe. There was something taboo beyond the pale about this holiday. Maybe that's why it's so much fun. That's our american idea of halloween. We rarely look past the surface to try and understand the real roots of the holiday. It's all about costumes and candy grinning. Pumpkins cackling witches zombies graveyards ghouls ghosts and goblins we know a little about halloween's roots in the ancient celtic festival of sour the rituals marking the end of the harvest and the beginning of the dark time.

Said they say hi to him from the window. The second flow which was kinda creepy but the But die were fine that guy across a little bit though used to come out and smoke cigarettes on his balcony and you could leave your new. He was because of the glow of the cigarette and so he was kinda creepy because he would just sit there and silence smoking or not and so winston would catch this whiff of the cigarette and then bach in that general direction and echo around a little bit. Yeah and people walking past the You know and then being pie. As well i guess was we'd for him but then the people walking pasta he could feel close to and he passed. He couldn't say or get too and so he. He was quite bad at the fence He chewed some of the not in the would add of defense gave himself some paper. So you'd come home sometimes and say this is up against the hole in the fence looking at it you bowling yay trying to stickies noise through as well so i i think we better fidai somewhere of sticking his nice through the hole in the night where he to have to reach through to unlatch it. 'cause he's head just perfectly in that whole So he'd he'd look and input is three to sniff and look again He chaired the clothesline. He pulled the line. I'm he didn't chew them he just put them in a and sit on them. said lucky was nesting or something We will also behind mcdonald's day In that area. And i'm occasionally. Mcdonald's patio something. The balloons would flight either inter yod and he'd have a real problem just trying to defend the property from balloon flavor and things like that so he it was almost like he thought his job was protection. Doke he was going to protect the property at all costs Especially if i was their alliance so like i said we bonded really well and he. He was scared of Hives jackets jackets. So anyone that came to read the gas meter in the electricity maeda Or any tried. He's the guy that alone. He hated him And then at the time. I was working For woolworths in their warehousing section project management and i have to wear high visibility myself and so i wonder how down and he backed may and then we had to do some quick desensitization so had a bet go Quite well like. I said i think because he did trust me fairly hard and fairly quickly. He could get over things reasonably well as long as i was there to support him. But it did require me to. I had to quiet him. I guess because while he was blocking it was impossible to sort of get through he would And he's still did elements of this all his life way. If he had a brian fahd or a shot of adrenaline. He would to just think he needed to do something. x y. Whatever it was that was in his mind and he couldn't listen to you so was really hard sometimes to get that initial adrenaline rush So what i ended up doing was describing some traits and i sat down on the floor and just let him approach. And he's i in tom and then was like suddenly it was like. Oh it's just you. And then after that he was a k. And he would actually sniff i but if it was a man in hives he would still bucket them but he would still sniff instead of just reacting so it was able to slow down that whole brain process for a little bit which was not And that that helped him a lot. I think with some of that generalized anxiety towards men Except if that were wearing a hat or something else change the pizzas slightly. He was still quite suspicious. and any man that he hadn't met before he would still try to sneak first and then if he decided i didn't smell right he'd still back at them safely. Barron harveys and wearing a hat. Yeah like it was. Triggers is stacking. Whatever you call up say yeah he. He was It was a bit selective. But if i invited a man into the yard or the loman eventually got used to And yeah as long as it was invitation sign. My brother came to made him one day and he. He wasn't happy about that. I but then he was like oh. Oh mom says it's okay. Talked thing and he has a voice to be dipy in my head a A winston but Yeah he he seemed to rely on me. I guess a little bit little bit of a crutch in that regard way. If it was something new he would cope with it much better if i was there then if he wasn't If i wasn't but that's also what made him a good help dog and i am. I guess jumping ahead in the story. Bit there but Because he trusted me so well he was able to help me with clients. When i started training myself. So it's a relationship that i certainly don't underestimate with looking for potential duggan future. It's it's gonna be hard to replicate that show that anyone can ever cruelly replicate it because it's two buildings that have a unique connection. The two buildings can have a another connection. It can be just as wonderful but it's not the same and that's certainly something like winston was never ever i. Replacement for chilean may sherry was always. He's he's iron dog and china. We hide told us that a little bit as well. Because it's certainly an instinct to sort of guy. I've had dogs all my life. Why is this being difficult. Type thing and wait. We can't help but compare and especially if we get the same braid all the time which is never been a problem in their house for always get the rescues and the pizzas and things. but it's it's human nature to compare and it's also human nature to forget and even growing up with dogs. I think back on. I remember mama ever hiring a trainer or getting help with a dog. We just did what we did. And we had dogs and they you know they never did me in the face. And i never got scared of them and but mom must have put some and and then when i get my dog charlie and he's a bit of a mess in some spices. I had no clue like what to do away to start. I need that. He was my buddy and i loved him but looking back if i knew then what i know now he would have been a different dog too but we.

"Ian, you you've mentioned in your answers emerging retail channels actually. So the expand on that a little bit, how are consumers buying now and how can licensing and retail work together better? Yeah, no, I think there's always been a relationship between retail and licensing and again I am going to show my age and I remember many, many times sitting in the reception at woolworths on marylebone road waiting to see the various buyers and it makes good sense for licensing to be in touch with retail in terms of providing information, updates, highlights, that kind of thing because then the retailers and retail buyers will have an awareness what's in the pipeline. So it won't kind of creep up on them as a surprise. However, shuttle forward to today's market and as we've sort of talked about the markets more dynamic if you like and it's much more fast moving fast paced, there's multiple platforms to launch properties from. And I think that makes it harder for conventional retailers to kind of keep abreast of what's happening in licensing and because obviously their traditional buying patterns might be they might be buying 6 months or a year ahead and therefore it's hard for them to react to those immediate opportunities. So I think from their side, the more traditional retailers, I think there will be some changes on their part where they'll have to kind of certainly when it comes to licensed properties in the kids space where if they want to be part of that game and they want to have that content on their shelves on their websites, they'll probably have to adjust how they buy things, how they track properties, how they interact with licensors and licensees. And conversely, I think the world of digital and ecommerce will open up a lot more opportunities to sell directly to consumers in.

"Point for any endeavour regardless of mentor ship. But the beauty about doing. This is when you go right. I wanna get into coding or design. Or how. I want to buy a house in my twenties and invest. I mean i had all these goals right but because i was clear in articulating them i was then able to pay. Which is my third tip. You pay your goals with the right mental as It's not our gamble. And this is where i think people get wrong when they look for mental. Or anyone help them. They don't actually strategically pay. I'm talking this like if you've never seen like when i was thought out woolworths which is grocery company. I was at checkout operator. Right and full nine months is when you can get your first job. Fourteen months our scanning And i was. I thought to myself. Wow i've got eighty dollars this week. I never saw that. I never saw eighty dollars when i was attained. Nigel until i've worked at williams. I got i was like i'm gonna get five hundred dollars to save up for my own guitar amp guitar back then. Played in a band. So i was like. That was my goal but the same thing. The same thing applies. If you've never seen ten thousand dollars in your bank account ever find someone who has an oscar them. How did you do it in. Whatever age that you're in let's say you're eighteen and you've never seen ten thousand dollars seriously go off someone who has and you're gonna get so much insight and that's important and then i guess the full thing is understanding that so number one get clear on the definition goethe number to go through personal analysis number three east. Pay your goals with the right people. And i guess number four would be around making sure that you are giving back and you'll saw mentoring others Because i'll tell you now it's not an age thing. My year old cousin is like an insane coda and he just gives. Yeah i made this thing that you wanted to fix an. I'm like how did you do that.

I i like it as the story base thing But maybe h in maybe you break it up into deliveries essentially like And you have some you know you. Have you have other people that you're talking to who are also drivers for whatever. These companies Maybe there's a bit of a competitive sort of thing because there are so many people who are displaced and who who don't have who rely on these jobs. It's not just automatically. Oh you get a ping in your app. And you've got a job. It's twenty people get a ping on their app. And whoever gets there first gets the job like a whole competitive aspect to that where they're pitting pitting leads people against each other now to be real for a second bayan. Have you ever done a delivery job. So i used to be a pizza. Delivery driver and the majority of my money was made on friday. Said i not where. I would get to actually take two three orders at a time. One of the biggest flaws that i'm seeing in some of these buber daughter ashen deliver all stuff lot of the time people going at getting a single order and they take it somewhere and like this is caught horrible. Like if you want to do this properly like you should be able to turn up at the place. Pick up to three orders and you take them all at once. Because i mean there's enough places at. I only say that really happening during during pay cow. I wanted to see in this game that. There's a chance that if you sweet talk you know some of these people you can actually do to three deliveries in in a single run. Yeah look we we would probably explode because you know it's a bit of will building going going on here with how to working But i do want to base it more around you know. Obviously it's a story basting point and click kind of idea so with the mystery. I i think it's a relatively mundane mystery in hawaii in that. The mystery itself is not around. The whole will think like this is just where it's set. I'm picturing that. On the third delivery something happens and your interested in what's happening at this place like you keep on wanting to make sure that you get back to this place because that's a really interesting story that you wanna eight just around the dealing like this your your boss or something.

"Francis buffer joins us now from ille- just north of cambridge in england. His latest novel is called late perpetual francis. Thanks for being here for having me set the scene for us with light perpetual. This is a kind of counterfactual it is and the fact gets established. Good hard in the first chapter. When a german v two missile fools on south london the the very end of the second world war and annihilates a branch of woolworth's. This is based on a real incident in a place. I walked past on my way to the college. It chaz dunton over and over again and because the store is full of mothers with young children trying to buy new suv spins also real eight kills a great many children including mine talk cost but then with kind of ambiguous resurrection. If the kind that novels a good fool i bring them all back for the rest of the book and weekends the lives they would have should have might have had instead because they missed of course was the hold of the rest of the twentieth century and every enormous and extraordinary change that boot to the city of london. So it's a novel about london. It's a novel about life and death and the fragility of life and it's a novel about time. I suppose because it's about living in time and the first the difference that the ten thousandth of a second which which jim and missile make steel life it kills you and then the difference that minutes months decades make the rest of your life. London was heavily bombed during world war. Two of course why this particular bombing the woolworths in nineteen forty four as you say london being bombed heavily and as a result there are stories like this dotted all over the place. This was particularly awful because it killed so many children at once and because it was a rocket and therefore more lethal but because there are so many stories like this they tend to become invisible. They just sink as the kind of memory of a city does into the kind of geological layers of underneath the streets. He's getting hatted with people. Moving mostly obliviously sometimes north on top of a kind of layer cake of time. So so this wasn't any more obtrusive. -ly apparent than than any of the of a stories. The city is full of but the plaque colt. My eye so i went deliberately digging and of course for the families of the hundred and sixty eight people involved. It was a huge deal and some of them still live locally and through a very good work of history that i could draw on. But no i the ordinariness. This is true the rest of the book as well. The ordinariness kind of the point. I wanted something that was terrible but not exceptional something. Which was you know. One tree in a wartime forest of bad things happening which i could select out and then full out long term consequences of through time so when a regular person sees a plaque on the wall and goes digging or at least like google.

"He he looks much more. Like you know Qaddafi then then Then know been athletic so you so you have that understanding of what's going on then tortellini. Who coined the term that we the trinity and even codified much of his understanding effect. I would contend and we have limitations here. So i'll be brief. Would i would contend that the way the trinity's understood could not have occurred in the west. It's eastern cultural norm. Because it's if values communal a communal group so i of god being three and yet one was not a foreign idea in the west. I think that the struggle we have is there was the the cristiani was westernized and then weaponized and was a woolworths. Were responding to is not. Christianity is the misappropriation of christianity. Okay which was used as an oppressive it will. It was uses oppressive to tore people who were brought to the states then in during the colonial era era. But i wanna be careful that we do not throw a any cyncial baby out with the bathwater just because it was misappropriated does not mean. It is inappropriate drew antibodies. Yeah i'll just pick up right. Where brandon left off I mean in many ways. That's partly where i was going to go Though i always say things Just out of respect for what has happened in the name of christianity. I always say ano- simultaneously that is the white man's religion guests and though that there's no facts Always start saint point which is that it was berthed at it was an afro asiatic. Religion writes That i mean we're talking about you to know in ciprian at the nation s stan. We could go on and on and on In terms of these early theologians that played enormous role in shaping the scape and lance copa of the tradition moving forward And at the same time that we have to say there's nothing indigenous to should the west in europe and as relates to christianity. It's not like christine was berthed. There there is a way in which Christianity was manipulated was disease was mangled in such a way that it was weaponized which and especially in terms of lease black folks concerns starting in the fifteenth century in terms of Beginning with slavery But certainly as Was already mentions if you just look at mall. Hall of how christendom develops then the splitting of east and west There's a devastating global implications to that as well So for me. It's less about american christianity. Bill i do think the american stories what we care about certainly in the united states because powered his our lived experiences but So but so. My ultimate question than in response to that is Is howard thurman question. He begins with jesus and disinherited. Which is are we talking about A weakness in christianity or betrayal rights are or is it a is it a betrayal of the way of jesus or is it a weakness inherent to christianity. I think that the real reality is that it's a betrayal rights. A- is very clear that it's not what's representative matthew mark john And so it's been weaponized Nothing that's of power instantchat conversation..
