vonnie: for more on the story, let us go to hans nichols. talk about the challenge that lies ahead. no one is underestimating the challenge. hans: they do not want to walk away from the situation having a lot of criticism. every leader is talking about collective action. it has been the lack of collective action that has really some previous som summit similar to this and really disappoint. we have a lot of comments mixing security and the largest security story in paris. there is also as was what to do about global warming. you see mr. obama talk about this. he has taken several leaders aside and so-called bilateral meetings. he has met with vladimir putin to talk about syria and ukraine. he just spoke with the prime minister of india. you really see with this divide

as well as president obama's between theridge wealthy developed countries and the less developed countries. he was very clear that he really thought that india had a right to develop and he did not want to do anything to hinder that. old economic divide between developed countries and less developed. that is what the focus will be here in the coming weeks. to hans nichols reporting live from paris. it turkish leader says his country will not apologize for downing a russian warplanes could the prime minister spoke as turkey sent the body of the pilot to russia. the pilot died last tuesday after turkish jets shot down the russian bomber. aid a visits p to a mosque in the war-torn capital of the central african republic. violence has risen after muslim rebels overthrew the christian president years ago.

london, simon kennedy. simon, i want to start with you. the ecd is on tap later this week. 100% say they're going to add more stimulus and ease rates. the question is can they do this without creating any kind of backlash in the markets? simon: they did pretty clear in signaling since september that it changes coming and mario draghi especially has raised his rhetoric since then two weeks ago, he was talking about doing whatever they must to move inflation more quickly. they have prepared the markets and mario draghi does like to overdeliver. perhaps we will see more coming this week. in some sense, the ecb has prepared markets so that the more thanf it does currently expected, a lot is already expected. betty: simon, what exactly is

going to happen or likely to happen? play out for us to move. the deposit rate is the rate of the ecb charges on banks to hold its money overnight. that is likely to be pushed further into negative territory. how much remains to be seen on thursday. they have the quantitative plan. amount ofncrease the monthly buys. those in the main policies we can expect to see it on tuesday. betty: mike, by the way, letting the pink sweater look today. house is going to affect janet yellen and the fed? mike: what the ecb is going to do will not affect janet yellen. own will make their decisions based on the data they get to simon talked about the need to prepare the markets. mario draghi has done that. janet yellen gets her chance to do that wednesday and thursday. she gets another economic policy speech and gets to go before the

joint economic committee in congress. see is expected to set the stage for a rate increase depending on how the jobs report comes in on friday. it would take a pretty bad number for them to change their mind. , as trot you did, the markets price in an idea of a move. any backing off from that would put a lot of volatility in the markets that they do not want to see. betty: when we say a really bad job number, what are we talking about? mike: we've seen the unemployment rate go up more than a 10th of a percent for negative reasons. as more people come into the labor market, that is good news. 125,000e anything below , #capture the market's attention, we might start to raise questions about whether they would go ahead with it on december 16. betty: with what is going on in washington today is the vote by the imf on whether to accept the yuan into the special drawing rights basket. on that note, will that make any difference?

about monetary policy. how significant will that be for central-bank policies and for the global economy? mike: in the short run, it will not have widely any affected isn though the imf believing it's widely traded. beth had to the dollar for years canyuan and now they start to let it weaken to prop up the economy. the ultimate fallout from the ecb and what china does is a stronger dollar. it will affect the u.s. economy and, mounted the prices. desk commodity prices. betty: before we go, in terms of other officials in europe who are dissenting against mario draghi and the ecb, are we hearing those dissenters? are they growing in volume or less so given the numbers that

are coming out of europe? simon: they're not as vocal as they once were. they're trying to find another one to leave that charge. he is usually not shy about letting people know what he felt. we might well see a statement later on thursday if indeed he did object to the policy in any way. betty: simon kennedy, our chief international economics correspondent in london for us. mike mckee, thank you so much. reminder -- we will have live coverage of the ecb's interest rate decision. there news conferences on thursday. that begins at 7:45 a.m. eastern time. much more ahead on bloomberg television. this is going to affect the markets as well. online shopping beating brick-and-mortar retail over the black friday holiday weekend. how does it affect retailers? what does it mean for consumers?

betty: good morning and welcome back to "bloomberg markets." let's head back to matt miller who has a check on the movers. you looking at a lot of retailers. not only looking at retailers, but things that are retail. we are looking at fitbit. it was raised to overweight at barclays. the analysts say it was too compelling to ignore. the current valuation now because the stock is up more than 3% in this early trade is 30 times next year's estimated earnings. barclays getting on board with other analysts who recently upgraded. i think bank of america upgraded. $1.77 thinks it will earn

billion in revenue next year, which is a lot of money for these little bracelets that measure your heart rate. lululemon was cut to underperform, going to other way. moving the price target down the $42 from $55 a share. it says that it saw high clearance levels when it was doing channel checks. a lot of lululemon out there on sale. going toaid that it's be difficult for lululemon to shift to international sales, something that fitbit is doing right. also difficult is the shift to men's products in children's products from women's products. i do not see a lot of men wearing those supertight yoga pants. betty: and super extensive now, too. matt: they are on sale so you can stop by and get an extra pair if you want. finally, under armour right now coming down in the early trade this morning. i saw a bloomberg social velocity alert on this.

-- if you type that in and pull up the bloomberg terminal here, you can see a number of interesting things. what people are posting. here you can see the severity of those posts with the color coding. green obviously being good. orange being neutral. read being negative. ass is a big pop right not the market where people talk about under armour as the stock falls in the early trade. miller att the market best. as shopping trend continues what is a record cyber monday with $3 billion in sales according to adobe, the company that looks at web traffic. meanwhile, the black friday sales were down 11% from last year according to the national retail federation. online sales were up 18%.

janet covers retail for bloomberg and joins us now. archaic toeels like talk about cyber monday. talkingi first started to retailers, i would bring up cyber monday and i said, is the still open? a thing? they were all shop online for the first time. even though we can shop at any moment of our waking day for most people now, people are still looking for deals. retailers feel like they have to be offering deals because cyber monday is still in grained the consciousness of americans. they're going to be deals that they all lie. retailers still have to offer even more deals on cyber monday. betty: what does this mean though that brick-and-mortar is down 11% or so and online is up? what does that mean them? n? shannon: a sale is a sale.

i was talking to the target ceo and he says the best customers are the one who shop online and in the stores. time and time again, retailers have found that you do better if you give the customers -- get the customers in the physical store. they want you in the store because of the impulse buys. you'll pick something up on the way to the checkout, even the candy bars. you'll buy more in store. if more people are going online rather than in stores, that is a concern for retailers. one of the things that tried to do to address that is by online and pick up in-store. they're not offering free shipping on everything. you have to spend at least $50. if you want to buy it online, you can pick it up for free in the store. they try to make it convenient, but they still get you in the door. betty: did walmart do well this weekend? shannon: we really are only seeing numbers trickle out. one number that we do have that looks good is amazon.

all their sales are purely online. creditwas up 28% on flat -- black friday. most people expected to be up 3% or 4%. amazon despite how big they are are still up 20% this year. betty: speaking of knowing a good media opportunity, amazon takes this weekend to unveil a video of their drug service. i think we have got some of the video. let us role it. it is this huge drone that will deliver packages to your backyard. comment from an amazon executive on the future of using drones for retail. >> we are doing automation programs like the drug program, which as soon as legislation supports it, we will be able to integrate into our prime network. betty: are they ever looking at this as more than just a niche thing? shannon: we asked that executive on how big drones are.

he believes in it. it's a reality and something they are actually going forward on. they do not see this as a gimmick and a way to just get somebody hype. betty: this is going to be massively used by amazon? they have to get the federal regulations. the analysts that i've talked to do not see any huge barriers. maybe it will take time and it's a little unclear how long it will take to get the federal guidelines in place, that they do not see the federal government saying no, absolutely not at all. betty: that means someday. [laughter] just have to have a backyard first. shannon, thank you so much. much more ahead, disney shares struggling to rebound after espn loses more than 3 million subscribers this year. wars" what is needed to bounce back? ♪

they have a tremendous compelling product for every package of it. oft has been the driver their ability to raise rates every. any of this really matter to bob iger if he has "star wars" coming up? paul: the biggest profit generator at the walt disney company is espn. betty: almost half their profit? paul: executive it is supporting the stock and the faces some of these challenges is "star wars" coming up. it will be a beginning of a tremendous run at the box office -- boxd thus expended office expected this year. you have that and the marvel content, which has been a german his home run for disney over the years. plus there are pixar movies. investors feel very bullish about that. it offsets to some degree some of the weakness we are seeing. betty: are they pricing this and

already in the share price? paul: i think so. disney has been the best performing of the media stocks because their model is so diverse of five. it is their films and entertainments that look rocksolid. their themepark business has been a great profit generator and growth generated for them and comcast. ks businessal par has been a great story for comcast. that is what people overlook when they think about growth drivers, but it has been a very steady driver for profit growth. betty: paul sweeney, good to see. on bloomberg television, jpmorgan sending a strong message to bankers and traders. your bonus is not going to be touched. ♪ the only way to get better is to challenge yourself,

theeciation, i think it is frequency. but liquidity they are promising and the market participants, and they view it as allowing them to to now turnmetable in. >> i think what we have to keep in mind is all of the concern about china as having a very confrontational posture in terms of the economical architectural, what we see today is this is a very integrationist movement. china wants to participate within it.

they want to be able to shape this in a way they believe is more in their favor. over the next couple years we asked to see china to find ways to further integrate, not to shape the basic reality in ways that is seen as negative for the same power but negative -- but architecture. we cannot ignore the tensions around china. we have cyber espionage around china. we have the south china sea. relationseems like are buying a little bit, there is a whole lot of tensions in that area and you cannot ignore those factors. >> right. issues are a big issue. some china sea in taiwan are big issues.

probably ushering in a pretty significant risk between china and taiwan and china and the u.s.. those are big concerns. china asat about another destructive force in the d you see them able to manage reforms better than they did in 2000 15? >> ice think they will continue to have a hard time. --better than they did in 2015? --i think that they will continue to have a hard time. i think if you look at the reaction, both to august and the equity market pressure, they are still uncomfortable with the ideal of financial markets determining financial asset prices. i think 2015 will be hard for them, or just as hard as this year. , thankstephen englander
