12:33 am
probability that, even if the democrats don't when the executive branch or the republicans win the executive branch, it's no longer a foregone conclusion that it will be a sweep. and what the markets like, whether you have a democratic or republican president, is gridlock. they like to see checks and balances, the culture of american politics and markets, stock markets in the us do better when one party does not control the executive, the senate, and house of representatives. and i think what we saw with the changes that the probability of a sweep has narrowed in the market kind of likes that.— of likes that. kamala harris has previously _ of likes that. kamala harris has previously worked - of likes that. kamala harris has previously worked with | has previously worked with silicon valley, which has their own support for trump recently. we've heard from elon musk. but will harris's bid towards investors sway towards the democrats?— investors sway towards the democrats? it's very hard to sa . i democrats? it's very hard to say- i think _ democrats? it's very hard to say. i think people _ democrats? it's very hard to say. i think people who - democrats? it's very hard to say. i think people who are i say. i think people who are publicly made endorsements will probably stick with their public declarations and monetary declarations. it

certainly does move things in a more centrist point of view, meaning they are now more options for people then they felt perhaps several days ago when they go to the polls on november. but the odds are still similar to what they were prior to the weekend, and this is early days. so we will see a lot of change at a lot of movement in those polls over the next few months as it relates to stock market performance, what the stock market wants to see is gridlock. so markets tend to like when politicians can do less, not more.— like when politicians can do less, not more. thomas hayes s-ueakin less, not more. thomas hayes speaking to — less, not more. thomas hayes speaking to be _ less, not more. thomas hayes speaking to be a _ less, not more. thomas hayes speaking to be a short - less, not more. thomas hayes speaking to be a short while i speaking to be a short while back. now, to the farnborough airshow — the global gathering of the aerospace industry in the uk this week. for european aerospace giant airbus, its order book is full to bursting. meanwhile, its rival, boeing, is struggling to address safety and quality control problems. airbus is now unquestionably the dominant player for large commercialjets. but the european firm has problems too —
12:35 am
as its chief executive, guillaume faury, explained to our correspondent theo leggett. we are in a situation that is complex for everyone. the international situation is another complex one. a lot of our issues are coming from the supply chain, and that's probably something that's come to other companies. now there are plenty of differences, as far as airbus is concerned, we are trying to focus on our priorities, our customers, which is quite complex, finding what i call the sweet spot between a very strong demand and the ability of the supply chain to follow in a safe manner with quality at the centre. because the truth is at the moment, you've got more than 8000 planes, you're making them as fast as you can but you can't make them fast enough. indeed, we have more demand then we can supply. it's a demand driven market at the moment, and we are working hard with our suppliers to catch up
12:36 am
in this environment, so that the situation, more demand and supply. the situation, more demand and su -l . �* ., the situation, more demand and su . .l _ �* ., ., the situation, more demand and su--l.�* . ., ., the situation, more demand and su--l. . ., ., supply. and a lot of your problem _ supply. and a lot of your problem is _ supply. and a lot of your problem is coming - supply. and a lot of your problem is coming from | supply. and a lot of your i problem is coming from the suppliers, they can't give you what you need. how frustrating is that? ~ ., ., ., ., is that? we have to adapt to the situation. _ is that? we have to adapt to the situation. we _ is that? we have to adapt to the situation. we are - is that? we have to adapt to | the situation. we are helping our suppliers as much as we can. the vast majority of the suppliers are actually at the right pace, but when some of them are late, we have to adapt to those ones, therefore we are recusing our reports on what we call bottlenecks and sending people, trying to provide help to anticipate the situation, and we've increased the buffer stocks to be able to react to crises in the supply chain better then we put in normal times. so we have to face the reality of the two day market. you're a european company with extensive operations in the united kingdom. there's a new uk government — what are you asking them for, what do you want to see? irate asking them for, what do you want to see?— asking them for, what do you want to see? we are a european company, — want to see? we are a european company, and — want to see? we are a european company, and we _ want to see? we are a european company, and we see _ want to see? we are a european company, and we see the - want to see? we are a european| company, and we see the united kingdom as part of europe geographically. so that is a

country that is very important for us, we've been there since the beginning of the history of us, and it is very important to us. we are engaging with the new government, it is good to see that they will be dust there'll be stability in the years to come in the uk, and there are plenty of things to be addressed — i mention decarbonisation — but also challenges in the field of security, defence, space, and many others. it's good to have a government to speak to. there's a sense that there is more reproach meant between the two, is that something you welcome?— two, is that something you welcome? indeed, we are a bride welcome? indeed, we are a bridge between _ welcome? indeed, we are a bridge between the - welcome? indeed, we are a i bridge between the continental europe in the uk, and we want to remaina europe in the uk, and we want to remain a bridge, and it's good to see that there's appetite for a closer relationship in particular when it comes to the defence and security, which i think it's something we really need to do better on in europe. aha, something we really need to do better on in europe.— better on in europe. a deal needs to — better on in europe. a deal needs to be _ better on in europe. a deal needs to be done? - better on in europe. a deal needs to be done? we - better on in europe. a deal needs to be done? we will| better on in europe. a deal - needs to be done? we will see, that's the _ needs to be done? we will see, that's the very _ needs to be done? we will see, that's the very political - needs to be done? we will see, that's the very political in - that's the very political in nature, but we will support it anyway.
