andrew, thank you for your time. we get into soccer, i have a question. we have been hearing a lot of stories about the effect it could have on soccer. if you are watching television now, are you asking why the justice department, why this is going to that level if this just involves sports? >> i think sports has become a microcosm of what goes on in society now. it bleeds over into the business pages, the front pages, and it is scandal and corruption. that is where we are today. you hope and pray that it has not infiltrated other sports, that it is not universal in every facet of sport, but listen, what they did today is years of painstaking research, discovery, tips and informants, finding out what they could. i'm told by people associated with soccer that this goes back generations, not years, but

mark: welcome back to the bloomberg market day. finance ministers from the group of seven industrial nations are in dresden, germany. talks start today through friday. are thehe major topics greek bailout, oil prices, and getting the economy going again. hans nichols has a special guest for us. former treasury secretary larry summers. i am joined by dr. larry summers, former treasury secretary. knows his way around an economic crisis. a lot of talk about greece. does this feel different from any crises that you are at the helm for? different.isis is this one will be much better if they can work it out in some way. move.ides will have to greece has to get more serious and determined and clear on what the reforms it will take.

that will not be politically easy for its leadership. recognizeans need to that there are limits to the degree of austerity that can be imposed. ultimately, debt problems get growth.hrough they did get solved through posterity. they will need to work with the greeks on a strategy for growth. i expect, but it is far from certain, that something will be worked out. >> at this summit? >> know, the greeks are not at this summit. but there is some time left. with good spirit on both sides, thatng into the real abyss it would be for greece, if this does not work out, and is terribly risky situation that it , i'm hopefuleurope that common ground will be found. >> does that mean there is a risk of contagion be on europe,

for the u.s., global growth? --for the u.s., global growth? >> i don't think we know. people could not have imagined a hedge fund could bring the financial system to a halt. was,ernanke, wise as he wasusly said that subprime no big deal on a systemic basis. there are many who believed the world was ready for what happened at lehman. how wrong they were. seeing a greek failure and areng what the consequences is an experiment that no one should want to run. >> do you get the sense that that view is shared in the u.s. and frustration, are they pressing too much, doing too much too little? leave administration to set its own course. there are a lot of people there with a lot of experience and

skill. i know they are very much aware of the state the united states has of successful growth in europe. thing the u.s. has weighed in on is the valley of their renminbi. they say it is accurately valued. what is your view? >> u.s. policy has had a real triumph here. a remnant be is up 50% in real terms on -- against all of china's trading partners since the days when they had a 10% trade surplus. about a 2% trade surplus right now. that is in the range of what happens to countries. i don't think there is the kind of systemic undervaluation problem that there was. i don't think that happened automatically. a tribute towas the economic diplomacy of president obama, of secretary others, butd many

it is time to recognize that that is no longer the kind of issue for the global economy that it once was. i am a believer that the exchange rate regulation issue is a very serious 1, 1 that the united states has to take seriously. if we are going to be credible in taking it seriously, we also need to have the courage to recognize when there have been major adaptations. that does not mean that you cannot argue about what exactly the right value is, but that is not the problem we used to have. nobody could argue before. now you can argue about the right rate. >> final question, what is the role of the g7, can you have an economic summit without china and brazil? sure, there are problems facing europe, the u.s., and japan.

top of the list is secular stagnation. growth from this recession has been inadequate. working out what to do about it for the industrial world should be a primary preoccupation here. we will not solve any of the problem, whether it is inequality, chronic budget deficits. none of that we will solve unless we accelerate growth. >> with that, i will send it back to you. exciting couple of days and the potential for something about greece on the sidelines. back to you in new york. mark: thank you. betty: one of the top funded drone startups is hoping to find a drone companies themselves. anware is hoping to launch investment fund for drones. mark: cory johnson is with airware ceo jonathan downey.

ceo of a drone company. that you know which started show the most hope and potential successor you can direct the money better? >> that is the plan. i think we have a great understanding of what are the missing pieces in the ecosystem, where companies are building a viable businesses. cory: i would also mention the deal flow lets you see what everyone across the industry -- people who may not want to partner with you may want your money. they will say we have this cool solution, no one has thought of it yet, please give us money. moret gives you a lot awareness of what is happening in your industry. >> that may be the case but is not the primary motivation. that said, most of the companies we are talking to are already engaged in some sort of business development with airware. either they are partners with ours are they have a cloud data analysis tool that we are partnering with. redbird, a company from france,

and then another company from london, which we are announcing today. i wonder if this encourages the companies to use airware? >> i think it does. it brings them additional cups -- customers. people who want to use airware's platform or with data from another company, or they want to use complete drone services, which is companies provide as well. investmentkind of are going into this arena, how much money, how many startups are launching? >> we are writing checks between $250,000 and $1 million to dozens of companies over the next few years. but: really interesting clever approach. jonathan downey, thank you. back to you. mark: cory johnson from san francisco with airware ceo
