K. And a streamlined regulatory process trade between the 2 nations amounts around 20000000000. 00. Now earlier we asked our financial correspondent Conrad Boozman what he makes of the deal at least in terms of publicity this trade deal between the u. K. And japan is a success will it be a success in terms of Economic Impact in terms of economic scale this remains to be seen of course the government in london insists that the situation of businesses in the u. K. Will be much better in the future than the current Free Trade Agreement between the European Union and japan but during the negotiations with london the government in tokyo was very keen to show to make sure that it does not want to grant any advantages to one single country that it does not grant to the trade block the e. U. So the devil is in the details at this point of time its impossible to say whether some of the positive off today might not be lost in translation when the new year comes.

The north stream to pipeline through the baltic sea means a lot to both parties for russia its a source of solid foreign currency for germany and other e. U. Countries its a major energy conduit. But following the poisoning of russian opposition figurehead alexina valmy a crime blamed on moscow the German Government has for the 1st time considered halting construction of north stream to it wouldnt be the 1st time the e. U. Has levied sanctions against russia. The number of cases in which countries impose sanctions on others is climbing accelerating rapidly from 2004 on besides russia the countries most often targets of dharana north korea as well as some african countries. Sanctions are often justified as a response to violations against human rights or democratic procedures theyre often aimed at trying to prevent terrorism and war but how effective are sanctions really at achieving their aims opinions vary. And earlier we asked gabriele felber meyer president of the kill institute of the World Economy just how meaningful economic sanctions from the e. U. Would be without the u. S. On board but without the u. S. On board its very difficult to impose sanctions and to make them effective in particular because of course the growth rate is the dollar still without the u. S. Sanctions would be very difficult and if we do see a large provisions act against paris that it through is a result of. The past experience large lucias you something but it was probably late. And International Financial markets like you go alone then the chances of success are im sorry to say that. There lets go now to latin america where cuba is soon expected to unify its 2 domestic currencies or trying to manage the Exchange Rate with a 3rd currency using the u. S. Dollar for many cubans with savings in regular pesos and plenty of experience with inflation its all that worrying. Queues outside banks in along these days government plans to unify the countrys 2 currencies keeping the regular peso but eliminating the convertible peso of course much uncertainty. When they said the convertible peso would stop circulation people who use it have to get out an exchange it thats what i want to do here to do it might be complicated in a few months time. Right now its very complicated for ordinary people and for businesses to handle 3 currencies it has to happen and i think itll be a bit of a pill that we have to swallow but it has to happen. The missions are part of a package of reforms aimed at fighting the economic crisis and scarcity caused by tough u. S. Sanctions the coronavirus pandemic and the bureaucratic inefficiency of cubas soviet style economy. For monitory reforms the government recently announced other measures such as scaling back centralized planning and easing restrictions on Small Businesses cuba is widely expected to devalue the pestle for the 1st time since the 1959 revolution economists expect major repercussions. Will have an increase in costs and if costs go. Up and there could be inflation. To tackle higher inflation analysts say Companies Need to raise productivity but they concede that if cuba is to attract pressures Foreign Investment currency reform is vital.
