Why are we throwing an apple at each other . Because this weeks first story is about launching satellites into orbit. Oh, youre not gonna try to launch this apple into orbit, are you . No, but if i did, which direction would i have to launch it . Not upwards. Not up because if i did, it will come straight back down again. Thats gravity. Thats gravity no, if you wanted this to go into orbit, you would have to make it go really fast sideways, about 17,000 miles an hour, so as it fell, it missed the surface of the earth and just went around it. Thats why rockets need so much fuel. Exactly which has been a problem since forever. But there is another way to get this apple to go that fast. Any ideas . Go on, amaze me. So, you could attach it to a long arm and then start spinning it round and round and round, and round and round, getting faster and faster, and once youre at the right speed. You let it go thats bananas no, its an apple. All right, here we go. Oh, my gosh robotic voice 200 mile

You should not be looking at it in the same way as if there was a slide in a normally functioning economy or a european economy. The rouble is entirely managed now by the central bank in conjunction with the Finance Ministry, and has been since we last saw the rouble collapse down to about 130 in march of last year. So the Central Banks priority last year was to keep the Rouble Exchange rate high at around 60, because it was tackling inflation, but this year, because of the sanctions impact and because that has led to a big hit on the value of russias oil exports in particular, they have devalued the rouble in order to compensate for that fall in dollar terms.
