Ahamdinejad's legacy: how Iran has changed
Channel 4 News (Web), 18/06/2013, Unattributed
Dr Christian Emery, a fellow in the international relations department at London School of Economics, says that Mr Rouhani is the favoured option for western diplomats. "(He) has stressed that during his era (as chief negotiator) Iran's nuclear program made progress without attracting harsh international sanctions or military threats." Dr Emery added that Rouhani had criticised the chief nuclear negotiater under Ahmadinejad, Saeed Jalili, who was a rival candidate for the presidency, over his failure to build confidence with the P5+1, the group of countries negotiating with Iran ober its nuclear programme. Jalili was also criticised for failing to offer more concessions in exchange for sanctions relief.

IMF's Zhu says too early to judge Japan stimulus drive
Reuters UK (Web), 18/06/2013, Unattributed
"In Japan it is fiscal stimulus bringing the GDP growth but obviously it also increases the debt burden and inflation expectations and the market is concerned so you see an increase in JGB (Japanese bond) yields," Zhu told Reuters on the sidelines of a speech at the London School of Economics. "The market is looking, and we are looking, for more concrete measures to implement the growth strategy then we will see how the yield will change ... A few days back the government announced a fiscal and growth strategy which is very good and very welcome."
