video games. not attendd will next week's opening ceremony of the summer olympics. the kremlin says the decision to let russian athletes compete of the games is a welcome one. the entire track and field team has been barred from the lyrics because of a doping program. russian athletes may take part if they have clean drug records. global news, 24 hours a day, powered by more than 2600 journalists and analysts in more than 120 countries. i am matt miller, this is bloomberg. bigd: let's turn to the deal news, verizon's $4.8 billion purchase of yahoo!. walden andom marni tim armstrong, they talked about how the companies would fit together. >> the yahoo! brand is an excellent brand, the yahoo! team is an excellent team. they really fits into the larger strategy that verizon has. i think from our standpoint, if you look at where we announced
2:06 pm
12 months ago our original deal to what's getting announced today, you will see an absolute line of straight focus and strategy focus for us overall. david: yahoo! has been in decline, and losing money. how quickly can you turn that around by putting it together with aol another verizon assets? >> it's going to take a lot of work, we have confidence in the leadership and him and his team and all of the talent that yahoo!. we understand it will take some work to integrate, but we are confident that they are brands that people love, and there are billions in terms of audience that we can bring to the platform. number of assets across verizon that we will continue to use to strengthen this business. work, puttinghard two companies together always is. we feel it would have the right talent and the right leadership to make that happen. david: you are number three, but a distant number three to google and facebook in the mobile advertising business. what you need to get to that scale?
2:07 pm
and what does verizon give you the google and facebook don't have? >> mobile in terms of media consumption has radically change the way consumers are in taking media and advertising. took a step back and said today is my first day on planet earth, what do you think the most important aspect to focus on will be and who would you partner with? well,rtnership of a verizon, yahoo! is a very substantial partnership in a landscape where people are causally focused on facebook and google, the reality is if you look at the hundreds of media companies in the world and hundreds of internet companies in the world, being number three with an opportunity to gain market share is with the steal is about. i would say for the verizon side of the house, it's a very smart deal. walden att was marni verizon and tim armstrong, chief executive officer at aol earlier on bloomberg "go."
2:08 pm
something tim armstrong was talking about was this race , andst facebook and google this is an opportunity for them to grow. talk about with that's going to be like this company? >> there is some runway here for verizon to take yahoo! and potentially mobilize it. yahoo! still gets a lot of that revenue the old-fashioned way, which makes sense. it's a legacy company that had older users. there is some runway to put these two together, both legacy assets, and turned towards what facebook is a really good job of, which is getting more and more revenue for mobile digital advertising. , and is a pathway certainly verizon feels like maybe this isn't the end of things. if you look at what they were saying, they both hinted this is not the end. another big
2:09 pm
acquisition of the broad world mobile digital advertising, even after yahoo!. they excite interview -- integrate yahoo! first. in the verizon is a distant third, you can envision a world whether able to roll up some other players that are currently in the game and maybe really be able to challenge both google and facebook. vonnie: when integration is complete, does there exist yahoo! in silicon valley anymore? alex: it will exist similar to aol. a lot of those questions are to be determined. we didn't get as many answers as i thought we would today, because what the verizon executives said was that because this was an option process, they weren't able to do the typical back-and-forth, here's how we envision your company living within our company that you would do in a sales process where there was sort of exclusive one-on-one negotiation.
2:10 pm
do due diligence in a more fragments away. than are coming, rather already happened. david: when you look at the landscape and see consolidation, does it portend more mergers like this? was a special because of what yahoo! is? special for a number of reasons. of its makes almost all money doing something that really isn't this. it's a mature company in its core business, it has decided to someone augment its current revenue by buying up these once enormous tech apps that still have a lot of users, but that are declining, aol and yahoo! and trying to do something a little bit different than how they make most of their money. the general landscape of m&a is not your, deal you see, where
2:11 pm
you sort of see a company that maybe is a current legacy provider, doing something buying new or assets to think about oracle buying cloud, that's the more difficult playbook. this seems to be working in reverse of that. vonnie: there's going to be a lot of discussion about meyer. inyou take a look at a chart the library, and you look at yahoo!, this is where she took over two years ago. she didn't do nothing for the stock, but does that eventually gets old? with alibaba.s that's where the values come coming from. marissa mayer can be credited with not missing out up, i suppose. she can't really be credited that much with the rise in the share price. you argue one way or the other, could she have done more? not many of decisions she made worked out all that well. she could have moved sooner. she could have made distant -- different acquisitions.
2:12 pm
acquisition she did make didn't work out that well. that said, in the end, the core business was valued by the market at nothing. as far as what yahoo! in the end. today gets monetized. vonnie: alex sherman, thanks. coming up in the next 20 minutes, is a crucial link for the federal reserve. expected the fed will hold the rate study. more may be on the way from the doj. david: that it would could turn into a potential target and have personal information exposed in the wake of the dnc hacking
2:13 pm
2:15 pm
david: this is "bloomberg markets," i'm david gura. vonnie: i'm vonnie quinn. but the bank of japan and u.s. federal reserve are holding policy meetings. fed members kick off a two-day meeting tomorrow. they will refrain from the action on industry policies members willl bank consider the possibility of a hike sometime this year. mckee, bring in michael
2:16 pm
we may not get a hike tomorrow, but we may get some change. right now, the markets are pricing in no move until 2017, and that is not where the fed wants to be. the numbers have been better than expected, but you look at the jobs report and how low jobless reports are, the idea that they wouldn't move it all for another six to eight months is probably beyond what they are thinking. they wouldn't mind bringing that's not in a little bit, but the question is to win. the november meeting is off the table, it's two days before the election. if either september or december. easier to talk about possibility of december, maybe would like to get some option alley on september. how you do that is an interesting question. that getting people to excited. what have we heard from members of the committee, what have they been saying? michael: that the economy has
2:17 pm
been coming in better-than-expected. because it was lower, it was performing about as they had forecast. we don't get new forecasts, but the forecast in june is about where the economy is. it always is that, if the economy develops according to forecast, we will raise rates. that may be the way they can phrase it, and you read into it what that means. japan meetingf this week, they are expected to increase stimulus. about the only central-bank that finds it necessary to move. we got a report from the nikkei they might increase to ¥6 trillion, which is more than people were looking for. michael: that's on the fiscal side. the fed in the bank of japan are tied together by their currencies. what has been happening is the u.s. got weaker and the money flowed in here and to japan. the end got stronger, and that has hurt their economy. they've seen exports, and i were led economy, declined for nine months in a row. -- an export led economy,
2:18 pm
declined for nine months in a row. they will cut their main rate to .15 basis points from -10 the fiscal side is what everyone is looking for. they spend more money, this premise are on a -- does prime minister oblique -- it would add to the economy. how do they finance it? does the bank of japan monetize it? that's the helicopter money everyone is talking about. , according to the governor of the bank of japan, they won't. japanese economic data has been going the other way, deteriorating. at some point they decide to bring out the bazooka. david: the governor saying helicopter money would be illegal, reiterating that stance. talk to us about the relative surprise. with themiliar surprise. there is a bloomberg surprise index. how does that play out? the fed says they're
2:19 pm
going to do something, they don't. that has people in the markets questioning their credibility. it's one reason they have to be careful in what they say. bank of japan has tended to surprise at times. this time, because everybody sees where they are, and the fact that it seems to be falling short, the end is getting stronger. it probably won't be a surprise to anybody if they do something. if they go beyond additional qqq e bond buying, that may be a surprise in terms of the amount. if they do additional bond buying or lower their rates, is not going to surprise anyone. that's mike mckee joining us in new york. mohamed el-erian will join us tomorrow on bloomberg television for what he expects from the fomc later this week. still ahead, how to protect yourself and your e-mails from russian hackers. this is bloomberg. ♪
2:22 pm
vonnie: this is "bloomberg markets," i'm vonnie quinn. david: and david gura. if you are watching the e-mail leaks and worried about russian editor joinsdeputy us now. yourselfays to protect from hacking. vonnie: with apologies to the former and as a contractor. david: let's talk with a less extreme end of things. all, at a very basic level, authentication and how you protect yourself and your e-mails. jillian: you can set up to factor a dedication. the first is a password, the second is a one-time only code the gets texted to you. unless someone has access to your cell phone, they're not
2:23 pm
have access to your e-mail or your facebook or twitter. david: that's easy to do. vonnie: but you have to download an app to do it. you are giving someone the information. jillian: that's the next level. apps apps -- there are that only exist on google servers and your cell phone, so there's not that transit said that someone could intercept. . david: you caution against using public wi-fi, a great line in the piece saying using public wi-fi is like your computer having a one night stand. you don't know what you're going to walk away with. why is it so treacherous? areian: even if you browsing on a secure site, there's a connection your computer has to make with the internet service before you even get to that website. that leaves you open to attacks. vonnie: how can you not use free wi-fi if you don't want to be paying several hundred dollars
2:24 pm
for your phone every month? is certainly in the middle of the scale of what you can do to protect yourself. if you are not a high level government official, you're probably not going to be an individual targets. these are things you can do, but they are not all necessary. david: you have corporate executives as well, you point out there was a famous photograph taken of mark zuckerberg, the facebook ceo in front of his macbook. he put tape over his webcam. this is something a lot of people are doing. not necessary, for sure. it's also very easy to do. stick it up your webcam and your that if anyone is find out trying to find out if you are to rob you, they will be able to. -- they won't be able to. vonnie: what if i'm not too concerned, i don't have that much privacy. is there something that can hurt me down the road? is it worth it?
2:25 pm
jillian: it depends on how involved you want to get. things like to factor identification will cost you five seconds when you want to log into your e-mail from a new source. where is buying a bug scanner, investing in audio jammers and stuff like that for your equipment -- that is not something that most people have to do. david: the executive who wears sunglasses cousin he will have a photo of his retinas. the distance between your eyes, there's a lot of data there. vonnie: are you on facebook? jillian: minimally. vonnie: is there any point to any of this? jillian: every thing is out there already. vonnie: our thanks to jillian goodman. you can hear more about the talked about stories every saturday and sunday on bloomberg television. still ahead on "bloomberg markets," let's take a look

disaster dnc e-mails, which should have never been written, because putin likes me. the number of children killed or hurt in the first six months of this year, a u.n. report finds that nearly 400 children died and nearly 1200 wounded, and nearly 18% increase compared with the same time from your before. minister wantsme to push through new laws on terrorism. jailed terrorists to be held indefinitely and wants territorial officials to .ntroduce laws global news 24 hours a day as hundredover twice journalists and analysts in more than 120 countries. this is bloomberg. >> it is said it would be a mistake to do a donald trump

2:35 pm
how difficult is this for them politically to support free trade? is difficulty it to intellectually, most support and understand it. the problem is the negative argument is so much easier to make than the positive argument. whether it is productivity or trade, you can show the plan that is not there anymore that used to be, a visual reminder. but you cannot see the benefit to everybody else, you cannot see the jobs that end up occurring, because of the growth than before. the fact that that benefit far overwhelms what you see with that plant, people can see the plant. it is a much tougher argument for them to make. it is still true, trade is a good phenomenon. >> the ceo's is like you who understand this and experienced it firsthand, do you have a role in planing to people there are employees we have because we can export things?
2:36 pm
>> we do make that argument. i'm supportive of trade with my own employees, where a think i have some credibility based on 16 years of performance. we make those argument there. we exported for $5 billion last year. it is still important for us. be able to have better relationships in these countries, that is important. it is also important geopolitically p are you have to do something like ttp even if you want to establish world worlds for how you will handle labor, these environments, and to make sure the people have the freedoms they think they deserve. you do not do that by advocating, you do that by participating. >> overall structural globalization come over the weekend, donald trump gave an interview in which he said just he was step back when they got his way. how dangerous would that be? >> i was surprised to hear that.
2:37 pm
i would like to think it was a comment made off the cuff rather than something that was a serious pursuit. that would the a mistake. >> how badly would it hurt your company? >> it would hurt our company in the sense it would hurt the entire global economy. you would end up seeing a point of overall global economic decline. we are out of the wto, others will exit. or even worse, they will stay in and we will be excluded. not a good phenomenon. >> what sorts of things are you looking for in the siding who you would like to be president? >> i want somebody reasonable and logical who is kind of in the middle like i feel 70% of the american population is, and just says, can we all get along and just do something to advance arguingtry rather than ideologically and come rushing
