At least 10 people have been killed and 100 injured after two-high speed trains derailed and crashed in southern Spain. At least 25 of the injured are reported to be in a serious condition. Rescue workers are at the scene and searching for survivors in the wreckage.

The accident happened on the main rail line from Malaga to Madrid, near Adamuz, in the province of Cordoba. Adif, the organisation that runs the Spanish rail network, said the accident happened after the IRVO 6189 train left Malaga, heading for the capital. The train is reported to have derailed and collided with a second train travelling from Madrid to Huelva on the adjacent track.

Published

on

It is estimated that interest payments on the national debt are now the second largest expense in the US government budget, trailing only Social Security. How was the US able to borrow so much and for so long? One answer, according Harvard economist Kenneth Rogoff, is the US dollar’s status as the world’s reserve currency.

In this episode, Rogoff – former Chief Economist at the International Monetary Fund – explains how the US dollar came to enjoy this hegemonic status, what being the world’s reserve currency actually means in practice, and why he believes the dollar is now in decline.
