It started with a rusty bike.

I was clearing out the garage and I found my old one that I hadn't ridden for years.

So I searched how to fix up a bike on Tik-Tock.

I found loads of videos on there, like how to fix a chain, change the brakes and mend a puncture.

That led me to a video about local bike routes around Manchester.

Turns out there's a nice one that goes past work, so I started cycling in.

Now it's only me that's a bit rusty.

It starts on Tik-Tock. This is a CBSI on the world. I'm John Bachelor. The Russian economy in wartime

sanctioned severely by the United States and other allied nations.

However, I welcome Michael Bernstam of the Hoover Institution, my guide on the Russian

economy under severe sanctions, and we turn now to a story that was in the beginning

mentioned very early in the war in the winter of 22 and then understood is not

feasible but now the United States has proposed that working groups,

this is Reuters reporting, from the group of seven major industrialized nations,

explore ways to seize the money that is kept in Western banks.

This is estimated by Reuters to be around $300 dollars of sovereign Russian assets.

Michael, a very good evening to you.

This is an old idea, that's new idea again.

My memory is that it was rejected early in the war

because it would establish a precedent where nations could start seizing funds from other nations under pretenses.

Why is it back and is it more practical now than in the beginning of the war?

Good evening to you.
