1:26 am
it took participants by surprise and they have been well leveled, they now discount the soft landing. the second thing is the boj tightened policy. investors have been borrowing yen and investing in u.s. treasuries. based on boj movement investors unwound. a couple of other things, investors were positioned the wrong way and we saw a spike in the vix, largest one-day move created uncertainty and volatility.
1:27 am
i would not call it extraordinary. in terms of your question economists have upped their chance to 25% and that is lower than consensus. my view is the best chance is economy will chug along but the possibility is never zero. tom: you can watch more on the david rubenstein show next week with the times shown on screen. other stories making news, u.k. police deployed extra officers to arrest hundreds more far-right activists. after plans to converge on

(jennifer) the reason why golo customers have such long term success is because we focus on real foods in the right balance so you get the results you want. when i tell people how easy it was for me to lose weight on golo, they don't believe me. they don't believe i can eat real food and lose this much weight. the release supplement makes losing weight easy. release sets you up for successful weight loss because it supports your blood sugar levels between meals so you aren't hungry or fatigued. after i started taking release, the weight just started falling off. since starting golo and taking release, i've gone from a size 12 to a 4. before golo, i was hungry all the time and constantly thinking about food. after taking release, that stopped. with release, i didn't feel that hunger that comes with dieting.
1:30 am

york coming through in terms of the latest second-quarter earnings. it is a mess in terms of net income. i will bring you more details as and when we get them. we look at the market story adjusting rally -- that stock you today. here is the redhead. of 20% and up 28%. they have raised their guidance on the top end of that range in terms of operating profit for the business. we know analysts have been looking for this. they raised their guidance. the previous estimates have been for 20.8%. we are looking for any further detail in terms of meeting that demand. here we have some details coming
1:33 am
and just let the below the estimates. 11.6 billion danish krone. to what extent that is down and the inability to supply that event is the question as we go through those results. they are at the top end of the range. the profit forecast for the full year with a top-end estimate -- actually for long for the details on the story. what jumped out to you at this point #>> there was a lot of uncertainty about whether guards would be raised. the race guidance on profit
1:34 am
especially. as we know, there are supplies being very tight. >> only one dose now is still in short supply in the u.s.. it may not be able to assumes they would like to. closing down on the supply side. what we would like to see in the next coming months is whether they can solve those are merely -- solve those remaining issues with supply. they are ramping up supply for people who are already on the
1:35 am
drug so they can continue to take it. there is an optimistic picture with supply. once we have a redhead right now. we mark this. this comes in will the estimates that is below the estimates. it is a mistake in of the second quarters. raise the forecast. this is also slightly softer than the estimates. what is the competitive threat right now? in the next coming months, additional that is from patients to investors.
1:36 am
in terms of the race, in terms of the top-end when it comes to expectations around the for your operating profits. estimates have been up for 25%. maybe it is the low end. we will see how that reflects when the stocks starts trading. a crucial conversation for you this morning. now to some of the stories making news. shares of airbnb fallen sharply in extended trading. that is after a disappointing outlook for a third consecutive order and a one of slowly demand from u.s. travelers. they spent sequential moderation of growth in the key metric of
1:37 am
knives and experiences booked in the current. . disney shares close in new york after egypt him a giant said it is raising the price of streaming services. the price for his cheapest offering, disney bus is advertising 25% almost $10 a month disney plus without ads will cost another $16 a month, marking a 14% is. switching focus. hamas has named the alleged mastermind. all as there is a new political leader. julie me now for the reaction there and the details. what does this appointment mean then? what does this mean about the significant move from hamas >>
1:38 am
it is ultimately a defiant move from hamas and what is interesting to note is that in the last report i, a lot of the names that were put forward would suggest this wasn't the obvious choice. they had been anticipating one of the hamas presenters living there to be the morphological name. they were the for somebody who was closely event -- allied to iran. one of the names that did come up was how the higher was the deputy, the hamas political leader who got assassinated a week ago. it has emerged that he has been accused of being the mastermind behind the octobers have the tag. it comes with a more radical wing of the party. this will have direct knock on effects mainly because he was resistant to many of the efforts to broker the deal and get the deal across the line.
1:39 am
he resides in gaza. we had some commentary from the u.s.. he remains the primary decider comes to concluding the cease-fire. it really is on him. if there is any hope for getting the cease-fire across the line, it will ultimately be in the hands -- it remains to be seen whether from hamas's perspective, these discussions have any room for progress. >> we know that hezbollah and israel have been trading. what would -- what were the main takeaways from what we had? quickly daily extent of crossfire continues. hezbollah sent drones into elderly, injuring several people in the northern part of israel. this is in retaliation to an
1:40 am
attack that israel did on southern lebanon a few days ago, killing several hezbollah commanders. three or four of them were killed in that attack. very long as a species tend to be. about an hour long. it is forthcoming. the retaliation will come. in this edition here is that it is yet to be seen or in conjunction with iran and other iranian proxies or from the with the perspective and the fact that he said that -- the formulation of the response has not yet been concluded. one other note to remark is that he said the killing of the hazlet top commander is an
1:41 am
achievement from israel side. but not a victory. this is part of the retaliation. the fact that the whole world, not just israel is waiting and has been waiting all of this week for the forthcoming response is part of their own retaliation and perhaps some part of a psychological warfare they are playing right now. >> fascinating and challenging for that region. just up .3%. given the bond rally we are seeing, that has given up some of the gains. we will see to what is that that has been absorbed by the markets that they want to be looking at. we will get further details on the disney story. raising prices.

1:48 am
operating margin and in terms of the u.s. segment of the business, really crucial. the u.s. adjusted operating margin marginally slightly above the estimates. it is a beat in terms of the rest margin. it is a beat overall. projecting a for the full year, they say a full year three -- free cash flow of 3.2 billion euros. how they put that cash to work will be consequential. to the adjusted operating margin of at least 4%. to be suggesting the consumer has a little bit of resilience. in operating margin. maybe there is a little bit of resilience there. that has exposure to the u.s. market here in europe as well.

1:51 am
grexit 150 billion other way about have been -- happened in the group's wealth or the family's wealth because all of this was very low i am assuming. chris that is a perception that is very different from reality. at that point in time i would say this report came as a shock to many people who were not expecting anything of the sort. our viewpoint, everything that was alleged over the last 10 years, it was very beautiful gift wrapped and presented in a way that was explosive and shocking so to speak. this would deliver the best
1:52 am
results the group had ever delivered. this focus is on the and sustainable energy and with the cw push towards that, what we do would be a very small proportion. >> in-line -- in light of the government's projections, what is -- not this is the gradual ramp down. we have a lot of assets and obligations. those contractual obligations need to be met. it is completely independent.
