Live from London, that's our top story on Wednesday, 15th February. | :00:00. | :00:14. | |
The people of Greece take to the streets | :00:15. | :00:24. | |
The country's economy is shrinking, but its creditors | :00:25. | :00:27. | |
Also in the programme - up, up and away, as India breaks | :00:28. | :00:39. | |
a world record and shoots 104 satellites in one go into space. | :00:40. | :00:44. | |
We're going to look at how that country is becoming a serious | :00:45. | :00:47. | |
It was another record setting day on Wall Street. | :00:48. | :00:58. | |
Also in the programme, finding a diamond in the rough! | :00:59. | :01:05. | |
We'll meet the woman whose company is turning waste into energy. | :01:06. | :01:10. | |
Lloyds of London is banning drinking during work hours. | :01:11. | :01:14. | |
Today we want to know, is the liquid lunch a thing of the past? | :01:15. | :01:17. | |
Is it ever acceptable to drink during the working day? | :01:18. | :01:19. | |
The EU's top economist, Pierre Moscovici, is visiting | :01:20. | :01:48. | |
Greece today to talk about the country's debt problem. | :01:49. | :01:55. | |
He's trying to break the deadlock over the release | :01:56. | :01:57. | |
Athens and its international creditors have been wrangling | :01:58. | :02:06. | |
for months over the issue, and failure to reach agreement has | :02:07. | :02:10. | |
Yesterday it was revealed that the Greek | :02:11. | :02:21. | |
economy unexpectedly shrank in the last three months of 2016. | :02:22. | :02:24. | |
So what options does the country have? | :02:25. | :02:28. | |
Greece is now under increased pressure to step up its economic | :02:29. | :02:33. | |
reforms, including on painful things like cutting pension | :02:34. | :02:36. | |
Meanwhile, the International Monetary Fund says Greece needs more | :02:37. | :02:49. | |
money, give it more cash in order to get its economy back on track. | :02:50. | :02:52. | |
But that's not going down well with the Eurozone, | :02:53. | :02:56. | |
which says it's already written off enough Greek debt. | :02:57. | :03:00. | |
The Greek government faces debt repayments | :03:01. | :03:03. | |
And they can't afford those payments unless they meet the conditions | :03:04. | :03:11. | |
being asked by the lenders and in return, the lenders | :03:12. | :03:14. | |
will agree to release more money from the country's | :03:15. | :03:21. | |
Vicky Pryce, economist at the Centre for Economics | :03:22. | :03:38. | |
It is not Aaron's fault, but he has been reciting the same story as we | :03:39. | :03:48. | |
all have time and time again. Here we are yet again, Greece having | :03:49. | :03:53. | |
problems paying its debts. What is to be done and why are we still | :03:54. | :03:57. | |
here? There have been issues in the way Greece has been implementing the | :03:58. | :04:01. | |
reforms. What's been going on, there has been an agreed third bail out. | :04:02. | :04:05. | |
The IMF decided it wasn't going to take part in it until it satisfied | :04:06. | :04:08. | |
itself that Greece were doing the right things and that the debt was | :04:09. | :04:13. | |
sustainable. And there has been review after review, we're in the | :04:14. | :04:16. | |
second review for the third bail out. This review has not been | :04:17. | :04:20. | |
concluded because nobody is convinced that Greece is really | :04:21. | :04:24. | |
doing the right things and this review should have been completed | :04:25. | :04:28. | |
months ago and there is a crucial meeting on 20th February which needs | :04:29. | :04:31. | |
to decide what happens with Greece next? It isn't the case of a new | :04:32. | :04:35. | |
bail out, it is really having the extra bit of the bail out that was | :04:36. | :04:40. | |
meant to be coming a few months ago really which hasn't been forthcoming | :04:41. | :04:45. | |
yet. We have sat here over the years, right and spoken about this. | :04:46. | :04:49. | |
Before Brexit came along, we used to talk about Grexit. That was the word | :04:50. | :04:54. | |
on the street and people used to go, "Europe will never let another go | :04:55. | :05:00. | |
leave the Union." Now Brexit is happening, I'm wondering is there a | :05:01. | :05:04. | |
mindset in Europe which makes it easier to go, "It's OK if Greece | :05:05. | :05:07. | |
does leave." I think it is the opposite. Given that there is going | :05:08. | :05:11. | |
to be Brexit under some conditions which, of course, still have to be | :05:12. | :05:15. | |
agreed the last thing that Europe needs now is to have further | :05:16. | :05:19. | |
disintegration. There it is facing Trump who has been pretty critical | :05:20. | :05:23. | |
of what the EU does and to see a country like Greece leave and the | :05:24. | :05:26. | |
whole Europe project therefore being put into question will be pretty, | :05:27. | :05:34. | |
pretty hard. Sorry Ben, Europe could be a different political landscape. | :05:35. | :05:38. | |
We have election ins France, the Netherlands and Germany and you | :05:39. | :05:41. | |
could get people in power that won't have the appetite to give anymore | :05:42. | :05:44. | |
money to Greece? That's true, of course, it isn't anymore. It is the | :05:45. | :05:47. | |
bail out that was agreed before. That's what we're talking about, but | :05:48. | :05:51. | |
yes, of course, we have the elections in the Netherlands in | :05:52. | :05:53. | |
March. It is one of the reasons why everyone is trying to get agreement | :05:54. | :05:58. | |
before the elections. So perhaps we get something by mid- March, there | :05:59. | :06:01. | |
will be something on 20th February which says yes, we have a way | :06:02. | :06:05. | |
what we will see after that, we have what we will see after that, we | :06:06. | :06:06. | |
the elections and indeed they have the elections and indeed they have | :06:07. | :06:11. | |
the French and the Germans, if there is any serious unsettling sort of | :06:12. | :06:15. | |
movement in Europe, that is going to in many ways help the populist | :06:16. | :06:20. | |
parties which the current players don't really want to see. I think | :06:21. | :06:23. | |
they will try hard to get a compromise. We were talking about | :06:24. | :06:27. | |
whether Greece would leave the European Union. If not quite leaving | :06:28. | :06:31. | |
the European Union, do you think we could foresee bli see Greece leaving | :06:32. | :06:36. | |
the single currency? When you look at opinion polls which used to be | :06:37. | :06:39. | |
very, very positive in relation to the euro and Europe in Greece, they | :06:40. | :06:44. | |
have swung a little bit. Now, you get some polls which suggest the | :06:45. | :06:47. | |
majority of Greeks want to get out of it because of the pain it has | :06:48. | :06:51. | |
caused them over a number of years. I think there may well be a | :06:52. | :06:54. | |
possibility of a snap election coming after this agreement is | :06:55. | :06:59. | |
settled and I think the euro, or being part of Europe, may well play | :07:00. | :07:05. | |
a part in whatever it is that particularly the Syriza party the | :07:06. | :07:08. | |
one in power, maybe going to the electorate with. So we may well see | :07:09. | :07:14. | |
some of that, but overall the Greeks will be conservative. They feel they | :07:15. | :07:17. | |
should be attached to Europe. They are concerned about developments in | :07:18. | :07:20. | |
Russia and everywhere and of course, so does the rest of Europe in fact. | :07:21. | :07:23. | |
Thank you. Shares in Toshiba tumbled | :07:24. | :07:28. | |
further during trade The firm's chairman resigned | :07:29. | :07:33. | |
on Tuesday, after the company announced a $3.4 billion net loss | :07:34. | :07:41. | |
for the year. The company had announced it | :07:42. | :07:46. | |
expected to take a $6.3 billion writedown at its troubled | :07:47. | :07:48. | |
US nuclear business. Dutch brewer Heineken has reported | :07:49. | :08:02. | |
a rise in its organic net profit, The world's second biggest brewer | :08:03. | :08:05. | |
expects to see further revenue growth this year, | :08:06. | :08:08. | |
but warns economic conditions Facebook is launching an app that | :08:09. | :08:10. | |
will allow users to stream videos in their news feed through set-top | :08:11. | :08:19. | |
boxes to their TV. The move could allow it | :08:20. | :08:22. | |
to eventually better compete with the likes of YouTube | :08:23. | :08:24. | |
and traditional television channels India has entered the history books | :08:25. | :08:26. | |
by successfully launching 104 satellites on a single mission, | :08:27. | :08:41. | |
smashing the previous record of 37 satellites | :08:42. | :08:43. | |
launched by Russia in 2014. An incredible accomplishment for | :08:44. | :09:09. | |
India, but it is really highlighting that country's presence, I guess, | :09:10. | :09:13. | |
right in this space race? That's right. I mean there is a lot of | :09:14. | :09:18. | |
Indians feeling very proud today, Aaron, but it is not just about | :09:19. | :09:22. | |
pride. This is about money as well. About six months ago I was at the | :09:23. | :09:26. | |
Indian Space Agency headquarters in Bangalore. At that time they | :09:27. | :09:34. | |
launched 49 foreign satellites into space and earned $120 million doing | :09:35. | :09:42. | |
so. Today the number has gone up by 101, 101 satellites were on that | :09:43. | :09:51. | |
rocket. It puts India on a firm footing in the global market as far | :09:52. | :09:54. | |
as launch vehicles for satellites are concerned and there is huge | :09:55. | :09:57. | |
demand for it because companies today want to not just launch one | :09:58. | :10:02. | |
satellites or two satellites into space, but 20, 50, 100 satellites. | :10:03. | :10:07. | |
Astonishing stuff. Thank you for that. We'll talk to you soon. | :10:08. | :10:13. | |
Let's take a look at the Asian markets. | :10:14. | :10:18. | |
All helped by another wow on the Dow! Another record session on Wall | :10:19. | :10:26. | |
Street. Wall Street was boosted by the big boss of America's Central | :10:27. | :10:30. | |
Bank, Janet Yellen who spoke yesterday, when she speaks, markets | :10:31. | :10:34. | |
stop! And we listen. Everybody listens to every word that comes out | :10:35. | :10:39. | |
of her mouth. Yesterday she kind of flagged a possible interest rate | :10:40. | :10:43. | |
rise next month which kept the US dollar near three week highs. Let's | :10:44. | :10:48. | |
look at the European markets because the market watchers were expecting | :10:49. | :10:51. | |
the same enthusiasm to continue in our trading session over here and | :10:52. | :10:55. | |
that's exactly what is happening right now. Ben. | :10:56. | :10:58. | |
Joining us is Richard Lewis, Head of Global Equities | :10:59. | :11:01. | |
Aaron was mentioning the testimony from Janet Yellen to Congress. The | :11:02. | :11:12. | |
markets seeming to like what she had to say? Yes, this is one of the semi | :11:13. | :11:20. | |
annual testimonies. It is a well watched event and Mrs Yellen is | :11:21. | :11:25. | |
carefully managing market expectation and here we saw another | :11:26. | :11:31. | |
change in nuance from Mrs Yellen hinting at further rate rises to | :11:32. | :11:34. | |
come, interest rate rises to come this year, but nothing really that | :11:35. | :11:38. | |
the market wasn't expecting. So what she has done with these comments is | :11:39. | :11:43. | |
really confirm the markets, say to the markets, you're about right with | :11:44. | :11:49. | |
your expectations of where you are. And European markets responding to | :11:50. | :11:51. | |
what we were talking about with Greece as well? Yes. Well, I think, | :11:52. | :11:56. | |
the most powerful influence for the European markets is what Mrs Yellen | :11:57. | :12:01. | |
says. There is a secondary story with Greece which is once again, you | :12:02. | :12:06. | |
know, this dilemma that the EU has with the Greek bail out and it is | :12:07. | :12:10. | |
where we were two years ago and I don't suppose that much will happen | :12:11. | :12:13. | |
this side of the German elections of any note, but what all this | :12:14. | :12:19. | |
stalemate does do is it ensures that Mr Draghi, the chairman of the ECB | :12:20. | :12:23. | |
will keep interest rates at negative rates and he will keep pumping QE | :12:24. | :12:27. | |
and that's the most important message for European financial | :12:28. | :12:30. | |
markets. In a very bizarre sense, the Greek dilemma, which is a Greek | :12:31. | :12:35. | |
tragedy for the Greek people, but the Greek dilemma is proving | :12:36. | :12:39. | |
remarkably positive for the European financial assets because of the | :12:40. | :12:44. | |
effect on the ECB. You mentioned Draghi, we mentioned Janet Yellen. | :12:45. | :12:50. | |
Never before, I'm asking you this as a question, have we seen where the | :12:51. | :12:53. | |
markets are so focussed on central banks? Yes. Yes! It is the only game | :12:54. | :12:58. | |
in town. It has been since the great financial crisis. Exactly. The | :12:59. | :13:03. | |
central banks have intervened very heavily in financial markets for six | :13:04. | :13:07. | |
years and the financial markets are now completely dependant on that | :13:08. | :13:12. | |
intervention. OK. You will come back and take us through some of the | :13:13. | :13:15. | |
papers. All right, we'll talk to you very soon, thank you, Richard. | :13:16. | :13:18. | |
Still to come, turning rubbish into a resource. | :13:19. | :13:20. | |
We'll hear from the woman whose company makes energy from waste. | :13:21. | :13:23. | |
You're with Business Live from BBC News. | :13:24. | :13:31. | |
Sick pay and sickness benefits is costing state and businesses | :13:32. | :13:35. | |
around ?23 billion per year, according to a new | :13:36. | :13:38. | |
They are calling for a more flexible Fit Pay to be introduced | :13:39. | :13:45. | |
which they say would be suitable for modern times. | :13:46. | :13:47. | |
Joe Dromey is senior research fellow at the IPPR. | :13:48. | :13:57. | |
Did you say Fit Pay? What is that? Fit Pay is a new benefit we are | :13:58. | :14:05. | |
recommending which would help keep more people in touch with work when | :14:06. | :14:10. | |
they developed a health or mental health condition. The government has | :14:11. | :14:14. | |
been trying to reduce the number of people on sickness related benefits | :14:15. | :14:18. | |
for many years and they have failed. We argue this is because too many | :14:19. | :14:22. | |
people who developed a hell for mental health condition just fall | :14:23. | :14:24. | |
out of work and end up on benefits. We are talking for more support from | :14:25. | :14:29. | |
the state and employers to keep people well in work and to keep | :14:30. | :14:33. | |
people in touch with work and Fit Pay is one of the ways we think this | :14:34. | :14:38. | |
can be done. If a company like the idea you have suggested and they | :14:39. | :14:42. | |
want to implement it, how easy is it? When systems are in place, it | :14:43. | :14:45. | |
can be a real headache trying to change to something different. We | :14:46. | :14:50. | |
believe it would be relatively easy to implement so if an employee | :14:51. | :14:54. | |
develops a hell for mental health condition and the GB agrees it is | :14:55. | :15:00. | |
best for them to reduce their hours, -- a health or mental health | :15:01. | :15:04. | |
condition. They can reduce their hours with the agreement of their | :15:05. | :15:07. | |
employer and Fit Pay would ease the loss of earnings and also if an | :15:08. | :15:11. | |
individual has fallen out of work completely but wants to return on a | :15:12. | :15:16. | |
part-time basis then Fit Pay, this flexible sick pay, if you will, will | :15:17. | :15:20. | |
help support them back into work and make sure that their income is | :15:21. | :15:25. | |
always better off in work. We hope that it would be better for | :15:26. | :15:30. | |
employees and employers, who spent ?9 billion per year on sick pay at | :15:31. | :15:32. | |
the moment, and better for the public finances. Thank you for | :15:33. | :15:34. | |
joining us. We are trying to... You know what? | :15:35. | :15:47. | |
You aren't. The person who sits down is the person who has to deal with a | :15:48. | :15:53. | |
tablet. I've just fixed it for you. We should talk about Lloyd's | :15:54. | :15:56. | |
stopping the boozy lunch. We will talk about that later. But I wanted | :15:57. | :16:05. | |
your opinion. Is on the Business Live page, even if we can't show you | :16:06. | :16:06. | |
right now! Our top story - the EU's top | :16:07. | :16:10. | |
economist, Pierre Moscovici, is visiting Greece today to talk | :16:11. | :16:14. | |
about the country's debt problem. Yesterday, it was revealed | :16:15. | :16:19. | |
that the Greek economy unexpectedly shrank in the last three months | :16:20. | :16:23. | |
of 2016, but the country is facing increased pressure to step | :16:24. | :16:26. | |
up its economic reforms, including painful things | :16:27. | :16:29. | |
like cutting pension But they are not doing it. They | :16:30. | :16:43. | |
promised to do it for some time but they haven't. | :16:44. | :16:45. | |
Turning waste into energy might seem like the ultimate efficiency. | :16:46. | :16:51. | |
What could be greater than using the stuff we throw | :16:52. | :16:55. | |
But it's not always as easy as that, with waste often having to be | :16:56. | :16:59. | |
transported great distances before it can be processed | :17:00. | :17:01. | |
Well, our next guest thinks she's cracked that conundrum. | :17:02. | :17:05. | |
Sandra Sassow has created two patented products, | :17:06. | :17:12. | |
They use technology which converts food and animal waste | :17:13. | :17:21. | |
And the company has just struck a near ?1 billion deal in India - | :17:22. | :17:30. | |
Sandra Sassow is the co-founder and CEO of SEaB Energy. | :17:31. | :17:38. | |
Great to have you with us. It is like the three stooge... No, not | :17:39. | :17:50. | |
three! We will be more polite from here on in. I've got to ask because | :17:51. | :17:55. | |
you worked on the Hubble telescope navigation systems and now you are | :17:56. | :18:02. | |
doing this. Can you tell us how, for dummies, like me, how it works? It | :18:03. | :18:07. | |
is almost the same as the Hubble space telescope, going out into the | :18:08. | :18:13. | |
distance, taking waste that is local and converting it. It is a bacterial | :18:14. | :18:17. | |
process. The bacteria it the waste in the shipping containers. Then it | :18:18. | :18:22. | |
produces biogas which is then converted in an engine to | :18:23. | :18:26. | |
electricity and we capture the water from the waist so if you have food | :18:27. | :18:31. | |
waste, which is 80% water, you can take the 80% that you are | :18:32. | :18:35. | |
recapturing and turn it into a water resource for the site as well. Who | :18:36. | :18:40. | |
is buying into the idea? Do you have any big customers who have said they | :18:41. | :18:44. | |
liked the sound of it and they are going to install it? Absolutely, we | :18:45. | :18:48. | |
started selling the production version of the product last year and | :18:49. | :18:52. | |
we have closed sales in four countries. We have the NHS in | :18:53. | :18:57. | |
Southampton, that has taken one, to take the waste from the site and | :18:58. | :19:00. | |
produce electricity for the hospital, saving them money, giving | :19:01. | :19:03. | |
them more money to do other things related to health care. We have a | :19:04. | :19:08. | |
large corporate in Manhattan that has retrofitted one, or is | :19:09. | :19:12. | |
retrofitting one, into one of their existing iconic buildings in the | :19:13. | :19:19. | |
city so a Fortune 50. We have got a client in Portugal. Is it expensive | :19:20. | :19:22. | |
to get started, though? It's not, it to get started, though? It's not, it | :19:23. | :19:26. | |
is a plug and play system, it arrives ready to go. What would it | :19:27. | :19:32. | |
cost me if I wanted one? It depends where but it will give you a three | :19:33. | :19:37. | |
to five year payback, so the systems range from ?140,000, up to ?400,000, | :19:38. | :19:43. | |
depending on the size of the system, amount of waste you are going to be | :19:44. | :19:47. | |
converting into electricity. How much space does it take up? | :19:48. | :19:53. | |
It is a shipping container? And you just put it in? So you don't need | :19:54. | :19:58. | |
planning permission? Some places, you do and some you don't. Some | :19:59. | :20:02. | |
places require extra permits. It depends on where you are in the | :20:03. | :20:07. | |
world and what the regulations are. Is this the kind of technology that | :20:08. | :20:11. | |
over time you can shrink so we could put it... It's a bit hard to have a | :20:12. | :20:15. | |
shipping container next to the house. Although it depends how big | :20:16. | :20:20. | |
it is. We have shrunk it, if you think about it because right now, | :20:21. | :20:23. | |
waste is converted in big centralised facilities that tend to | :20:24. | :20:27. | |
be outside the urban environment so you are trucking waste to those | :20:28. | :20:30. | |
sites. We have shrunk it into something that can fit in an urban | :20:31. | :20:38. | |
environment and can be placed into the megacities that are expanding | :20:39. | :20:41. | |
around the world. We have taken it down into 20 foot shipping | :20:42. | :20:43. | |
containers. If you take that and shrink it down, we are trying, we | :20:44. | :20:47. | |
will go smaller when we can but technology and supply chain is | :20:48. | :20:50. | |
keeping us where we are. It is quite different from where you started | :20:51. | :20:53. | |
working on the Hubble space telescope. How did you make the | :20:54. | :20:59. | |
transition? Do you miss the Hubble work? It is all tech and there is as | :21:00. | :21:03. | |
much tech in this as there was and what I did there but just applied | :21:04. | :21:07. | |
differently. You must get a different reaction from people when | :21:08. | :21:10. | |
you say I worked with people on the Hubble space telescope and now I | :21:11. | :21:14. | |
work with waste. We got an award from Nasa, choosing us as one of the | :21:15. | :21:20. | |
nine tech firms in the world that was doing something advanced in the | :21:21. | :21:28. | |
waste sector and they took a view that that was advancing where the | :21:29. | :21:31. | |
world was going. They are looking at what we're doing as they closed loop | :21:32. | :21:35. | |
environment for long haul space flight. Who knows? I might go back | :21:36. | :21:41. | |
to space work in the future. Thank you for joining us. Great stuff. | :21:42. | :21:46. | |

@BBCBusiness and you can find us Business Live on TV and online, | :22:16. | :22:17. | |
whenever you need to know. Joining us is Richard Lewis, | :22:18. | :22:24. | |
Head of Global Equities He has come back into the studio to | :22:25. | :22:33. | |
talk through some of the stories in the papers and there is one that has | :22:34. | :22:37. | |
got people talking a lot on Twitter about Lloyds of London banning... | :22:38. | :22:43. | |
Come on, when did you last have a boozy lunch? A long time ago because | :22:44. | :22:47. | |
I thought this thing had gone from the City under competitive pressures | :22:48. | :22:49. | |
but obviously there are still one or two areas where people still have a | :22:50. | :22:55. | |
drink at lunch time. We have got a feud tweets and thank you very much | :22:56. | :22:59. | |
for them, Erica says, "Can't understand why people feel the need | :23:00. | :23:03. | |
to drink during the working day". Erica does not work for the BBC! | :23:04. | :23:08. | |
Anthony says, "I thought those days had long gone", as you say. Alex | :23:09. | :23:13. | |
says, "If it is one during unpaid lunch break, I don't see a problem". | :23:14. | :23:19. | |
"Every Time I have a couple of Jack Daniels, I start singing show tunes | :23:20. | :23:22. | |
which is not good for the office". Let's move on... The satellite | :23:23. | :23:31. | |
launch in India. A phenomenal achievement, I'm sure launching 104 | :23:32. | :23:34. | |
satellites is pretty difficult but I think what it shows is for somewhere | :23:35. | :23:42. | |
like India, a developing market like India does not go through the | :23:43. | :23:45. | |
industrialisation faith that the Western world did because these | :23:46. | :23:48. | |
countries can see the destination. They don't have to go through the | :23:49. | :23:53. | |
process, they jump from being quite underdeveloped to being right at the | :23:54. | :23:56. | |
forefront of technology in some cases and that is what this is all | :23:57. | :23:59. | |
about. Interesting point because we have been covering this all morning | :24:00. | :24:04. | |
and we have seen lots of tweets and so forth and questions have been | :24:05. | :24:08. | |
raised, some people have said, hang on, India has launched this amazing | :24:09. | :24:12. | |
rocket and has this programme and yet something like 150 million | :24:13. | :24:15. | |
Indians still don't have a Paul Allott. Yes, and probably 100 | :24:16. | :24:21. | |
million Indians with engineering degrees. -- 150 million Indians | :24:22. | :24:28. | |
still don't have a toilet. But there's a lot of talented people in | :24:29. | :24:34. | |
India. Goldman Sachs shares shattering a 10-year record hitting | :24:35. | :24:38. | |
a new closing high. Is there any stopping the Trump trade rally? This | :24:39. | :24:43. | |
is a Trump trade squared, right? There's been a couple of personnel | :24:44. | :24:46. | |
moves that the market picks up on which looked very favourable to | :24:47. | :24:50. | |
Goldman Sachs. The first is that the presence of Gary Cowan, the former | :24:51. | :24:54. | |
president of Goldman Sachs, is Donald Trump's right-hand man when | :24:55. | :24:58. | |
it comes to advising on industry and financial regulation. The second | :24:59. | :25:01. | |
yesterday was the resignation of a very respected man called down to | :25:02. | :25:05. | |
Rouleau from the Federal Reserve who was a bit of a regulatory Hawks at | :25:06. | :25:09. | |
the confluence of those moves suggest to the market that the | :25:10. | :25:12. | |
regulation will go in Goldman Sachs' favour. And the man who was | :25:13. | :25:21. | |
confirmed, or 17 years at Goldman Sachs. It is a very well-connected | :25:22. | :25:25. | |
firm! Especially now! Thank you for joining us. | :25:26. | :25:27. | |
