cairo. due in the egyptian capital to broker a cease-fire. the death toll now stands at more than 500 palestinians and 20 israelis killed in almost two weeks of fighting. >> thank you. chief executive phil clark is stepping down after four decades at tesco. he leaves a company struggling to battle the discounters. more on the trials and tribulations of tesco and the hopes for a new leader, dave lewis. back to you. >> thank you very much indeed. openingby the initial onry in europe, a vol spike friday, seems to come back down and little bit. people remain largely cautious.

find out how the story is developing. jonathan ferro at the touchscreen. dip to actually buy. the ftse 100, on the week, still eked out a gain. pretty much dead flat. the dax down by .1%. cac 40 pretty much dead flat. look at how u.k. supermarkets react because we got a profit warning for the first half. this, of course, geopolitics is always a concern. russian equities, look out for that. down almost 20% this year. one man that caught that rectally was john from deutsche bank. guy johnson will be speaking to him. and heed the may rebound is looking for the micex to be

down 10% on the year. this one is about sterling, just shy of 1.71. a big week for this trade. u.s. cpi out tomorrow. for three months, the figure has climbed higher. janet yellen calls it noise. if it goes any higher, the noise is going to get louder and she might have to listen. on the other side of the trade, it is about the pound and u.k. gdp friday. has not of england given any indication of when we are going to get the first rate hike. did anyone put up their hand and say, it is time to hike? >> we will wait and see, but it is certainly a possibility. we look forward to that number later on this week. more immediately, calls for tougher sanctions on russia as world leaders say they are almost certain that russia supplied separatists in ukraine with weaponry that shot down flight mh17.

ryan chilcote was one of the few journalists who spoke to the ukrainian prime minister following the crash. he joins us now for more on that interview. here for perspective is jerry fowler, the head of global equity strategy at bnp paribas. >> we have countries like britain, the netherlands, the dutch wishing very hard for sanctions. all of the western european leaders calling putin, many of them speaking together. it looks like we might have something of a united front this time around. the question i would be asking myself now is what are the sanctions likely to be? thehey come on tuesday, talk right now is the last time they introduced sanctions last week at the european union, they said they would sanction more individuals and more companies and come up with that list by

the end of the month. the brits one that lists to happen on tuesday. who is going to be on it? will there be more individuals that would not have been there because of what happened with flight 17? is there anything that president putin can do to avert more sanctions now? he had an address last night on the presidential website. he said that there must be an international investigation and that security must be guaranteed. he said that the exclusively-it limited negotiations going forward must be used to solve this crisis. the fighting needs to come to an end. there is still fighting on the ground. people wonder if he is being genuine or disingenuous. prospect ofhas the really pushing the russian market and russian companies. serious.ounds pretty it is serious.

geopolitical tension is rising. yet i look to the markets last week, every day i check in and i am looking at the market reaction that does not seem to compute with what we have got from ryan. why the disconnect? >> a lot of the geopolitical risks we are seeing globally are still very isolated in their region. mh17 isticular one with potentially an addition to risk premium for europe. we may well have seen that they can over the last few months. u.s. equities have responded by underperforming by about 5% in the last couple of months. some of this is coming through much more slowly than single day events in terms of escalations rising and risk rhenium rising across europe. globally, i do not think this situation has any implications just yet. globaloes not slow the economy down. it barely budge is the needle in terms of what we are looking at. >> at this stage.

geopolitical tensions are always difficult to forecast, but it that way.r >> does this strike you as odd? >> i do not think it does. at the moment, this is still a very region-specific topic. it is not something that has global implications. >> what would it take from the eu leaders when they gather tomorrow? it sounds like they want to come up with more -- we could get .ome more u.s. sanctions what would it take to change the dynamic? >> the big story on this topic is whether the sanctions are strong enough and harsh enough for the russians to do something . that has direct economic implications. sanctions into russia have significant implications in russia and the surrounding region. those do not necessarily spill out unless there is more retaliation. >> people are concerned that the

deflationary story is exacerbated. could this be the risk that tips us into that scenario. and would that be big enough to move the needle? i am looking for the point at which that starts to happen. broader geopolitical and other emerging market risks are having an impact. when you look at the flow of funds around the world, there is still a lack of motivation to put money to work in emerging markets. the money that people are saving in looking to invest in pension funds and building up is still coming in due to developed markets. particularly in europe, one of our favorite regions, which is keeping the euro high. while the euro is high, you are going to experience this inflationary pressures -- disinflationary pressures. they will not react with a purchase program unless there is short ofonary

expectations. in the meantime, it is this slow, steady recovery. >> good to see you. you will be back with us. ryan will be with us throughout the morning. we will be back in a couple of minutes talking tesco. ♪

>> good morning. welcome back. i am guy johnson here in london. it all covered. let's focus on a couple of

stocks we are watching this morning. tesco and sainsbury's. tesco announcing that dave lewis is replacing their chief executive and that sales and profit are below expectations. ie there is no recovery still coming through. let's find out what is going on with caroline hyde. some people have been suggesting that clark was going to have to go. he may had been given a little bit more time, but the last shareholders meeting was a brutal affair. >> it certainly was. the reason was because sales were continuing to fall. chief executive of tesco for 3.5 years and he eventually hand over the reins in october. he has been at tesco for four decades, finally agreeing to leave, handing over the reins to dave lewis of unilever, a man he worked closely with. and ther of dove soaps

like, a company negotiating with tesco. clearly, investors wanted to see a change of the guard. they wanted fresh perspective, is what they are calling this morning, coming out of tesco. up to bes was lined taking over. we knew he was one of the favorites. use to be at tesco and took over the likes of dixons. other names on the list were internal candidates such as tim mason. clearly, they wanted an outsider, a breath of fresh air to help turn this company around. only are we having use of a new chief executive, we have news of a sales warning. sales are not living up to expectations. october is when we also get that first half sales update coming from tesco as well. >> interesting to see how the flows are this morning on the ftse.

>> you are right. clearly, investors are jumping that dave lewis, a and, will guide tesco higher, will be able to invest as they have been doing. this is a company that is piling in billions of pounds to try to improve the stores, exiting certain international markets like the united states and japan, was still making inroads into china and the like. they want to see a continuation of the turnaround starting to work, wanting sales to start to increase again. this is a company with more than 60 billion pounds worth of sales a year. they need to start grabbing that market share from the at the bottom and the top. tesco needs to react to that. they are hoping that dave lewis can enact that change. shares driving higher, but they are slightly worried about the retail environment in the u.k. food prices have been on the

downward trajectory. is that going to be hurting sainsbury, morrison's going forward? >> thank you very much indeed. is head of global equity and derivatives strategy at bnp paribas. caroline just talking about what is happening to tesco. you we could have some inflation at the moment. that could be good news. a central bank could be one of the first to raise rates in this economic cycle. put the u.k. in perspective for me for the rest of the world. you still see the global economic growth story on track. we talked about geopolitics this morning. some central banks are going to be raising rates. the spread between those and the ecb is going to look bigger and bigger. >> there also divergences and policy -- in policy.

the u.k. is expected to be one of the first of the big economies to raise rates. investorsulti-asset nowadays are looking at risk factor. i would say that in doing so, you need to assess the gaps. while the u.k. has potentially the best-performing economy in the detent, there is still a large gap. it is still possible the growth could continue to be strong without causing deflationary pressure. this year.e rises i do not know the meeting specifically. >> what i am fascinated by at the moment is this relationship between risk and central-bank policy. it seems to be the only factor that is out there in terms of determining investments. that it is suggest going to be gradual.

you believe the rate hike in the u.s. will be gradual and in the maybeone, it will be precisely nonexistent. in that environment, how much longer to i cross my fingers and continue to believe that equities go higher? >> when you look at the outward gap in the u.s., the business cycle suggests we could have a growing economy for another two or three years before eventual rate hikes suppress the investment. we have not really seen investment picked up yet. what we are moving from is a central banking policy around the world that is being more led by government. in the u.s., there is more of trying toerms reallocate money from wealthy back towards people. >> we could use the tax code to do that in the states. a 35% tax rate

for corporate, which is higher than anywhere in the world. a complete rewrite of the tax code, which is widely expected at some point, i think it would be very likely to include a reduction or a holiday for repatriation of foreign profits. all the repatriated money last buy backused to dividends. it was a bit of a failure in terms of being a stimulus. what they could do this time is what the ecb has done europe, provide funds into the system but make it a requirement that the money is used in a certain way. used for capex over twofollowing 12 months or lower employment wages. there may be more incentives to kickstart money in the u.s. .> that sounds great

that sound something that may raise the potential growth rate of the united states and something i would want to talk about. the problem is, as we learned last year, the taper tantrum. markets really struggle in these transition periods. we really feel like we are in a transition period at the moment. we are going from the market with incredibly chief -- incredibly cheap money to the tax code lowering unemployment. getting from a to b sounds really simple. you make it sound simple, but it is not. >> the chinese government suggest you can do it well for a few decades before causes problems. let's say there is a bound of confidence they can potentially work with over the next couple of years. it appears to me that the bias is for accelerating growth. there are reasons why -- around that. ,ost investors carry strategies

risk management strategies. it is important to have a view on each of those. we have favorite trades in each of those areas. out. just balance it if i have a distribution curve and i am trying to figure out how fat details are at this point, how fat are the tales? what they are well truncated by a man -- an amount of loose policy. >> monetary policy and that transition is difficult to manage peer and how fat good those tales become? >> i think the fact that the policy is on the way means that they have room to reintroduce it. is the point of trying to remove some policy stimulus now while the data is improving. if the data deteriorates, they have room to accelerate. it is not so much that the market will leave the policy, it is that the policy will leave the market. if you look at the distributions

in all asset class volatility curves, the at -- the market has priced out the worst of the negative deflationary risks even though they do not yet believe it is going to free up the upside. are connected and the comes.d moment sometimes >> i do not believe that is coming in the next couple of years. >> that is jerry fowler. let's move on. let's turn to dubai. their biggest publicly-traded builder continued to drop after an investment company failed to reach investors over the weekend. this stock has had a great run of late. let's find out what is going on. what does this morning bring for this stock? >> good morning. yes, it shows that investors today are still unsure about what to make of the announcement that came over the weekend here.

said ity, the company is considering several strategic options for its investments. that came after the stock market suspended the share last week, on thursday. the company responded to reports saying they are in talks with the outgoing ceo about buying at least half of his stake at share.5 to 6 dollars a that was higher than the market price. say basically that the outgoing ceo is the biggest shareholder in the company and he owns about 29% while the state controls about 19% of the company. a lot of investors were looking for a confirmation from the deal but theis

company said it is considering several options. the fact that the borst went as far as suspending the shares ticked off so many people that the regulator will be a lot more stringent about disclosure. a lot of criticism for dubai in the past month or so that disclosures were not adequate from the companies. that dubai wanted to send a different message. >> ok. thank you very much indeed. joining us from our dubai bureau. we are going to take a break. stay with us. we will be back in a couple of minutes. we will see you then. ♪

u.k. said it was looking into the matter in june 2013. u.s. security council is thecting concern over escalation in gaza. the palestinian death toll is said to have risen past the 500 mark. has squads military infiltrating. facesent vladimir putin growing international pressure to respond to europe/ukrainian claims that the malaysian flight was downed by the russian military. the u.s. secretary of state john caray said yesterday on "meet the press." chris there is a stacking up of evidence that russia needs to help account for. we are not drawing the final conclusion here but that is a lot that points to the need of russia to be responsible. >> staying with that story, eu

it needs to be fixed and resolved. >> what do you think about the idea of a cease-fire? we already had it 15 days ago and it was not successful. ukrainian military stopped shooted everyels time and every minute. done, russia be must withdraw their agents. russia must stop the supply of lethal weapons. russia must stop financial support of these rebels. russian president is to condemn this terrorist. ukraine andh the russian forces, we are to restore control over the border. and ready to invite anyone from

the international community. first, we needed to ds glade the situation and make real steps. >> is it fair to say that you think that maybe is the time to take it to this separatists? not a cease-fire but go on the offensive? >> it is fair to say it is high time for russia stop supporting terrorist. if they stop the support, and implication of this will be very simple but effective one. they will stop the shooting. they will not have shells, bullets, tanks, and missile systems. nowyan chilcote joins us for more on that conversation he had had over the past you days. back from the ukraine, the situation continues to develop.

he talks about stopping bullets from flying. what is happening in the area? on recoverings bodies which is grizzly. bodies have been gathered now. they are sitting in refrigerator well hearts right next to the crash site and they have not been identified. the plan and it is strange it is taken so long is too good to the --lcars to go through a city the plan it is strange it has taken so long and it is to get the railcars for a city. the idea is they will be identified in a ukrainian controlled city. the outrage from world leaders and the leaders of the country that lost people in this tragedy is massive. commentslook at the

from the prime minister of the netherlands, he is appalled. minister isan prime making pretty serious comments saying the crashing site is -- and to have the pro-russian looking over the site is having criminals looking over a crime scene. >> editorial after editorial i have read over the weekend talking about the fact it could be a galvanizing story for the europeans to get them on board with the u.s. led sanctions. is that what we get this week, tomorrow? >> we had the russian president come out with a statement saying going forward, diplomatic negotiations should be used exclusively to solve this crime -- conflict. he said the international investigators must be guaranteed. the german chancellor and the

australians and the dutch, he has been constantly on the phone. the question is is it an and is he being genuine? and are they not going to go ahead with sanctions? enoughquestion is, is it it is he being genuine? on theunds like they are same page. maybe not a huge step. many saying they can learn which individuals and companies will be sanctioned as opposed to the end of the month and maybe more serious approach in that sanctions list that what we were seeing. and that maybe we will see a ban on eu weapons sales which will be difficult for france. really hoping. there is a moment of we might do that to the u.s. introducing sanctions and they have a way of coming out and announcing their own sanctions.
