china about opening up to four investments. she spoke after holding talks with chinese premier in berlin. the pair will go on to meet other european leaders at the business summit in bond brussels. -- in brussels. donald trump has nominated judge brett kavanaugh to serve on the supreme court in a choice that could create the most conservative bench in generations. if confirmed, he will replace anthony kennedy who sometimes sided with liberal judges in key cases. cavanaugh's 53, a law professor, and a judge of the court of appeals for the district of columbia circuit. independent that an to this year is the crown jewel of our constitutional republic. senate, ied by the will keep an open mind to every case. to i will always strive

merrick. bloomberg's european news director. also jim o'neill. he was also marshall secretary to the u.k. treasury. this is back in september 2008. sorry 2016. i'm going to get it right. you are here to talk about the football. what is happening in british politics? pre-brexit ministers. you look at the foreign exchange market, i think that tells you a lot. the real question is, why did this happen a year ago? a lot of people like myself been wondering why she said she didn't take on the hardline brexiteers quite some time ago.

summitestly went into a knowing that this was a risk. style of herhe former minister boris replied to the letter. backgroundson in the , what do i know, hanging around and playing the part and try to stick the party together is crucial. if he would have been with the more emotional guys, i think would've been a lot more to magic. -- dramatic. is it the deputy ministers trying to coalesce can rebel and take theresa may down? they may have enough backing to trigger some sort of contest. it's pretty clear they don't have the numbers to defeat her. the expectation that she would already win, mr. johnson made a

andshow of his resignation articles newspaper but does he have support? not only with the parliamentary members but the broader conservatives. he's not as popular as he was in the past. are thinkingsroots maybe one of the newer faces. we have is very high-level resignations. still maintaining the support. there are problems on the fringes but it seems like this is something she believes she can push through. if you have a leadership platform, and boris probably is quite popular, he's nothing like

he was. he was never the popular in the party itself. he's trying to wrestle himself from a very weak situation. he's going to have to do a lot of serious soul-searching. a cynic would say the only reason he resigns was because he was angry about the fact that somebody else was about him. he's trying to rescue himself from his standing. up look where the pound is -- you have to look where the pound is. if this had happened straight after last use election, i think the u.k. markets would've been a lot more worried about things and they seem to be. francine: what role does labor have to play? aren't blind to what she's

trying to do but they can't say it openly. politics is very tribal. she said the -- he said the worst thing theresa may could do is go to labour party for their support. that would trigger far more billion anything else she could do. wouldard to see how labor support. they will do anything they can to force a general election. has been trying to drive a wedge and the government try to force the government into a more liberal position. labor position has waxed and waned over the previous few months but the general drift has been towards a softer brexit. that's what brexit -- that's what worries the brexiteers. it's been shared by businesses, by the europeans. we had the ceo of airbus saying

it was good news and the pound. francine: how long you the prime minister can last? the negotiating position weakens because of the negotiation -- resignations. i wish you would me tomorrow. in a strange way, i think she is a lot stronger than she's been for some time because things have been there every day working the background. in terms of any immediate challenge to her, what do i know about anything. , she's in a stronger position than she has been in a while. and against the background of the ridiculous the fragile position because of the election results. there's always vulnerability.

another thing to throw when, if there really worried about corbyn coming on, wise the pound so-called? it's a great story but i'm not sure compare with some the other moments if it is quite as big a threat to the stability of the government as other events they have held. francine: i will remind you tomorrow or next week. thanks so much for joining us. jim o'neill stays with us. let's get straight to new york for a bloomberg is this flash. taylor: the world's largest really does market warned that return to be lower than expected this year. said securities would push earnings-per-share below the analyst expectation.

investigators in switzerland found that up to $700 billion that's up to $7 billion of runs or misappropriated. michael liebreich to set the country blocked a reporter million dollars when you began the investigation into 1mdb back in 2015. pledges to return part of the amount once the criminal investigation is finalized. fox is preparing a higher offer for sky to counter comcast -- comcast. bloomberg understands of the move is likely to come around the time of the formal approval by britain for fox's bid. that's expected to come as soon as this week. tesla's elon musk is due to be in shanghai an event with the government today as the u.s./china trade war enlarges the market for electric vehicles. he also plans to visit beijing tomorrow or thursday.

helping teams actually with retail sales. this is what you want to talk about. it's the best thing about englishness ever and here they are wanting to play into englishness. do people care less about brexit because of the foot all? jim: i think people couldn't care anything about it because the footfall. the scale of the number of people that are suddenly interested in europe -- in england as a football team. francine: let's get back to theresa may's cabinet. it was the resignation of two key cabinet ministers. the compounds already bleak picture.

the financial times reports of some the biggest names in finance are now creating contingency plans. last week, jpmorgan said it's lost several dozens of its employees to other cities in the eu. now, trevor greetham. still with us, jim o'neill. jim: i just wander around the streets. francine: we were talking about the market reaction. the place you expect to see reaction is sterling and the gilt market. the question is has once happened the last one is for hours increase the disorderly u.k. exit from the eu. if you had disorderly no deal

the guilt would plunge of the pound would drop. which you hedge? i wouldn't just had sterling. there are three things to about brexit is investor. one is, you won't be able to predict the outcome. there's more than their peers. two, make sure you have some acids that do well in both scenarios. if you got commercial property as was equity, equities are really in overseas asset in the u.k.. you don't mind so much if you have those. the third thing, if you are at all cautiously minded, make sure you have a lot of natural sterling exposure in your portfolio if your basin u.k.. if you have a global portfolio you will be swung around the pound. francine: is there a danger?

i heard it walking around london and got a few calls. is your danger that for investors misunderstand these resignations of people saying forget brexit, it's not working out? trevor: i don't know. i think there are wide-open possibilities still. the time is getting quite short. one possibility is that theresa may's compromise soft tissue brexit gets through. and it happens. then there are the two fail risks. there's the disorderly exit and there's the more likely reaction against that in the country and parliament. if you think you're confident about will finally have with brexit, get on a plane

to moscow and go watch the world cup semifinal because that will give you more reality. idea of a second referendum what the d something i never believed in. but i do think the probability of that has risen slightly. not just because of the past 24 hours but because of the fact that the pm has gotten closer and it's going to divide not just the tories but also the labour party. someo there will be at point a strange mutual agreement by both wings of both parties that it's not what we wanted which will allow those in the middle who believe we should never done in the first place, let's take it back to the people. less unlikelyes than it was before but i still think it's not likely.

she made a side of the best way to get her deal through his election. trevor: she could do that. than parliament would fall behind. francine: one of the chances, percentage? of the u.k. chances crashing out of the eu? thani think it's more five. 15-ish percent. another not impossible thing is that at the end of having to summer persuade the eu for an on article 50 to give them more time. figure out what it is. as he had day, we forget. it's a very complicated proposal which, my guess is, you will not want to reject outright. -- the eu will not want to

reject outright. the eu itself might say how about having more time. francine: is the city of london the biggest you -- biggest loser in all this? it doesn't protect them. it's a shamer: that services have taken such a backseat. we argue we have a surplus and services, we are known for services. it's important. there are one million people working in finance. but i think there will be side deals. the most important thing is the areas that were highly hard-core global supply chain manufacturing, you got a protect them and that's what looks like she's ended up doing. the world of finance is so creative and flexible, clearly

there will be marginal shifts of staff in terms of some huge consequence for the finance. new year changes its time zone by five hours, that might be a bit of a threat to the future of the city of london. unless you get france and germany having dramatically more flexible labor markets, i think by and large finance will be able to cope even though it's not as good as what we've got today. francine: will mark carney be able to raise rates in august even the political turmoil? trevor: give me a the 24 hours and all have an answer on that. in the background, what is interesting is the very latest u.k. data has gotten a bit stronger again. right now, it looks like a reasonably strong field in my view. we will see what next month thanks. francine: let's talk trade and

tariffs. china merkel has praised for opening up foreign investments. cars have been some of the early victims of a u.s./china trade or. daimler facing higher cost is a import luxury models from china. trump is showing up in europe and nato. germany has been asking for more defense spending. trevor: i cannot see that. have no idea. people who follow trump in great detail don't see a pattern in the things that happen. francine: do you own german carmakers? a strong business

there and has a value. the trade tensions are another wildcard to try to digest. i view it a bit like a central bank raising interest rates. effectnot have a straight away but will have an effect. the usual things like general economy confidence. but i think the economy is quite strong globally. intrigued on what you said about merkel praising the chinese. i have a growing feel that vision the past 20 years where i think the u.s. is making a major strategic mistake. even if you assume that this would bear fruit, 30 years ago it might have been clever but

today, more south/south trade has been bigger the north/north trade. you see someone like merkel saying that, china has become germany's number one trade partner. if the rest of the world action intensified intensified that global trade engagement, i don't think they have the slightest chance of coming to how the u.s. thinks. it could accelerate the decline of the u.s.. though the markets seem to be in love with the u.s. relative to everyone else. view, seems like a very near frequency cyclical big picture wise thing. trump was brexit is like the english-speaking world stepping back from global trade leadership.

the vacuum will be filled. dollar is theu.s. reserve currency. how long does it take that to take a backseat. jim: that's been around since i was still in my shorts. the dollar will go up and down. this is not about the reserve currency been under threat. it's a very slow-moving thing. in some ridiculous nonsense about sums to -- about a severe conference that's crisis with the u.n.. strategically, is far from clear to me how the u.s. can be a long-term winner. francine: while china ever use trade currency? they can't upset america.

if the u.k. doesn't win, you support? i think i would have to go belgium. trevor: it's got to be a nato country. -- jim: will trump be at the world cup final? will he sit next to pretend? francine: thanks for joining us. jim o'neill and trevor grantham -- greetham stay with us. coming up next, we talked turkey and the scotus confirmation. this is bloomberg. ♪

francine: this is bloomberg surveillance. i am francine lacqua. we are at westminster covering the the u.k. political news.

we are getting some gdp for may. this is what we see right now. if you look it gdp for the u.k., gives this -- this gives us some idea of the strength of the u.k. economy. 132 .91.ee it should be coming any second now. we are counting down the seconds until we get that gdp figure. we did see a little bit of a the u.k. is because doing so well in the world cup. that means people are spending. you can see the pound is not really moving on the back of the gdp which is in line with what we expected. 0.2% through may. that is the latest figure on gdp

for the u.k.. let's get to one of our other top stories, donald trump has nominated brett cap to the supreme court. this could be the most conservative bench and generations. he will replace anthony kennedy. professor, and a judge on the court of appeals. he spoke after trump nominated him last night. >> i believe an independent judiciary is the crown jewel of our constitutional republic. senate, ied by the will keep an open mind in every case. preserveways strive to the constitution of the united states and the american rule of law. francine: let's get to our senior writer stephanie baker.

chances of him getting confirmed? stephanie: this will be a big fight. do have a simple majority in congress. senate rules of changed. they just need a simple majority to confirm him. i think his views on a number of issues will be very divisive. i think you will come down to about five senators. whether or not they will flip and vote and break party ranks. in particular, to republican women, lisa murkowski and susan collins, they are pro-choice and support a right to abortion. if they will be crucial to this fight. the pressure on them is intense. this is a litmus test for

whoever gets on the court. it's very important because he is more conservative than the justice he is replacing. more of a moderate and a swing vote, particularly on the abortion ruling in 1973. thecine: how will it change court's decision on issues such as abortion, the environment, health care? stephanie: he is not ruled directly on abortion. recently with the trump administration, saying he would've declined to give an undocumented woman and abortion. he would challenge that. pro-business,is he has anation, expansionist view of executive power. he has ruled against issues like

the environmental rejection neutrality, the consumer financial protection bureau, his decisions are hostile to obamacare. it's abortion which is going to be the major campaigning force around this decision. you already have abortion rights states.allying in those they are trying to put pressure on them to oppose his confirmation. issues, hisso big views on presidential power could have an impact on the smaller investigation. -- robert mueller investigation. he worked for 10 star. -- 10 star. he thinks a sitting president

should not be subject to lawsuits, it's too much of a distraction. this could make it very difficult for robert mueller if trump resists an interview and , iturns into a court fight could go to the supreme court and cavanaugh could be the crucial vote. francine: thank you so much. nellis great to see new york city with the news. u.k. appears likely to survive any attempts to oust theresa may. despite the resignation of two of her most senior ministers in one day, most of her conservatives are content. her proposal would keep britain close to the european union on trading regulation.

she is leaning on the biggest opposition party to get the plan through parliament and counter a mutiny by her own. angela merkel has praised china for opening up to foreign investment. she spoke after holding talks with the chinese premier in berlin. they now go on to meet other european leaders at the eu china business summit in brussels. the opec president has told bloomberg the cartel is doing all they can to offset shortfalls that have kept global supplies tight and prices high. it comes after president trump told them to cut prices illegally. they don't want to overdo it. i think they are doing their part. the market needs time.

when you look at turkey as a standalone case or hurting emerging markets to have so much debt. a point whereis they are doing the same thing with jared kushner. it doesn't send a very good signal. he is out, the son-in-law is in. economy the world hitting a soggy patch. chinese growth is decelerating. interest rates are going up. the dollar has been strengthening for the last few months. that combination is bad for emerging markets across the board. until we see those trends change , we may go into 2019 and emerging markets may be under a cloud. time is continuing

because of the cycle. is that a fair assumption? trevor: you're always closest to the next recession by definition. i think the u.s. economy has some legs to it. there is a willingness to lend. the rest of the world's been slowing down. weakness,e currency we are starting to see europe positively. you could see a real acceleration next year, that could help emerging markets. there is very little evidence for this. i wouldn't be surprised if emerging markets get a reprieve. francine: is turkey different? trevor: i tend to buy emerging markets as a whole.

inflationary hit and a negative growth it. you're going to see prices rise because things are made more expensive places or tariffs force prices to be higher. you will also see disruption. you can't change your locations overnight. this is a time when globally you see growth slowing down and inflation rising anyway. francine: at the same time it, afraid -- trade is increasing. we assume the trade doesn't go down. it just gets redistributed. trevor: you've got to think about life has the global trade system decided to produce certain goods in certain parts of the world. it can be cheaper to produce in foreign countries and import.

it benefits your consumers. they have more disposable cash. basically, if you are trying to wind back globalization, you will wind up with a weaker economy. francine: do you see anything positive emerging from these trade wars for europe? could chinese money meant for the u.s. come to europe instead? susan: we don't see anything positive at the moment. maybe it's pushing everyone forward to try and work together on common problems. the eu and u.s. business recognize we have common challenges. global overcapacity. we also recognize there are unfair trading practices that need to be addressed. we could work together more.

economy services making up 80% of the u.k. economy. malcolm: what we have seen as a heavy bias towards goods. we have mutual recognition or managed to virgins? those two things are playing out now. what we will see is a lot of horsetrading for the detail in the white paper. i think the white paper has been pushed back. francine: why the markets so cool about it? the pound is barely moving. >> i think one reason the market might not be moving much is because this is still step one. all of this debate and focus and what we are talking about here is what is the position in the negotiation it going to be? a negotiation has two sides.

once the position is decided on, how much of it will be possible to agree on with the rest of the eu. thatthat negotiation part is the greatest sense of uncertainty and volatility. isn't moment, the market reacting much and that's understandable. we think volatility for sterling will rise. there is a wide range of possibilities. theon't think that prevents tank of england from raising rates in august. there is uncertainty weighing on business and investment. i think that matters to the bank of england. francine: what do you think it ?ill take to counter the range is there a positive scenario? be morehave to

forceful? andrew: i think it's important to watch what does the european union say about the white paper once it's published. that's where the rubber meets the road. these statements are probably only going to excite the market to the extent that they seem agreeable to the european union. that's where the next couple of months look tricky. the morgan stanley team does not think there will be an agreement reached by the october meeting. this thing will go down to the end of the year and there is still a bit of uncertainty out there. tom: i think this is so important for the global audience. we hear about a norway solution, a candidate solution. i don't know what soft brexit is. what is the best outcome for prime minister may?

is it something new? will she have to come up with a new plan? croatia plan? : it's what we saw friday. what they believed to be in the best interest of the u.k. economy, there are a lot of details behind that. what they are trying to say is the goods element of the economy has to have that alignment. services they believe can survive and thrive and compete and converge. in essence, the city of london and the financial services believe you should be allowed to drift apart and compete on the same terms. francine: we are expanding coverage. tom: he will be with us next hour.

malcolm: i think we have seen for us. tom: what is parliament doing today in this chaos? what are those people doing today? malcolm: they are trying to regroup with what happened. i think the main thing they are focused on is preventing any more fallout when they published a white paper. boris johnson and david davis were anticipating that. any more fallout would be difficult to sustain. they've got to keep the new cabinet together. that is the main focus, making sure the white paper doesn't great anymore division. tom: it's like game of thrones. i hear the bells. francine: they will stay with us. coming up, we will be joined by rupert harrison.

as steve mnuchin. rudy giuliani was looking at the front row. he was sitting in front of rod rosenstein as the judge appeared with his family. himself in present an opening statement of what is sure to be a divisive battle in the senate, even though the process appears to be looking smooth. democrats are ready to pounce and position him as more of an extremist. he wants to appear as more of a centrist to the supreme court. tom: the sales job begins. he will make the rounds on capitol hill. what will he say and do? how will he convince senators on the fence? said ifusan collins has

malcolm is with us. malcolm, the prime minister and the british government, they have to appear at nato. how changed will they be with boris johnson? how changed are they in the last 48 hours? malcolm: we will see a difference in tone rather than substance. i think it will be more somber and businesslike. do you worry about the president showing up at nato, going after germany and trade? where does that leave german carmakers? >> i do think it would be a concern if trade barged back onto the headlines. markets of been relieved there was focus on trade up until last week. that died down a little bit.

that has been a major point of contention and would refocus. that will be a big deal for the second half. trade is a risk to growth. gdp numbers are lower than a consensus. that's a challenge the markets will have to face in the second half. that hasn't gone away. francine: does this mean you are short european equities? andrew: i'm optimistic for equities over the near term. if you think about what happened in the second quarter, the euro was quite a bit weaker. global gdp growth was pretty good. if you wanted a combination of three factors, i think it would be those things. that that is as

good as it will be. maybe that's the point. my colleague has lowered the target for european equities. he is taken down his estimate for what the multiples should be. earnings season could be good, we have to be aware of the risk to trade the europe is exposed to. reading your note. it is,azing how outdated things are moving so quickly. whether you're looking for just to get to friday? think with trump in nato and couldn't, we could see some interesting developments. i think people will see more volatility there. we know he likes to challenge norms.

morgan stanley. when you look at brexit and the major risks, last week it was about trade. risks across the globe, is brexit number three or four, or does it fall to 20th place in your biggest risks to the world economy? think brexit is pretty far down that list because our economists think this is going to be an ongoing process where you are not going to reach an ultimate resolution until the end of the year. the market will continue to view this as an uncertainty that continues to roll along. other factors are likely to dominate. story have an emerging where inflation is back and real, u.s. cpi released this week will have a debt 2.9%,

rising inflation in the eurozone, we think inflation picks up in japan, chinese producer prices. that is a major theme. central-bank tightening ahead of us. there is some giveback for growth as some of the tax effects are temporary. one thing that is interesting is how the bank of england is more fractious than the other central banks. are they going to lead in the onate as we see more dissent rates rising and inflation? does the bank of england lead that that they? >> what the bank of england is confronting is a negative supply shop in the form of brexit, smaller labor force, less

migration, higher domestic prices. central banks have not had to confront negative supply shocks very often. the last 20 years has been about greater migration and greater trade. that dynamic where inflation could go up even if growth is not improving, which is a very realistic way to look at our longer-term u.k. forecast under a more negative brexit outcome, that is a scenario central banks have not had to deal with for a while, but it is a real possibility for the bank of england and a real challenge. tendency away a from soft brexit, a norway solution, towards something more amenable to mr. johnson and the other brexiteers, what does that do to gdp in the united kingdom? >> i think the point francine made earlier about the balance between goods and services, that

80% of the u.k. economy is services, and that is a part that has a lot of questions around it. i think it is a major risk to growth. it is a risk to growth because services is a big part of the economy. uncertainty always causes businesses and households to pull back and reduce investments. it is a really large question that still hangs over markets. that is why we have been surprised that volatility in sterling has not gone up more. that is something we think will happen, should happen. there is a lot of uncertainty. francine: you know what also surprises me is we are talking so much about the internal politics of you -- u.k., but we should also be talking about the eu. do we have any idea how brussels

is going to respond to the white paper? >> that is a fascinating point. the last 48 hours of news coverage in the u.k. has obviously been focused on, great, there is a deal, the u.k. government has coalesced around a position. that is just step one of the negotiation, deciding on your position. step two is how does the other side feel about that position? all negotiations involve some level of compromise. once this white paper is published, how does the european union respond? there will probably silly have to be some concessions. -- obviously have to be some concessions. the questionis more people should be asking because it is still a big uncertainty. francine: if you look at euro

pound, which i know tom likes to look at because it is what the at, what is driving it? >> in our view, the euro has been driving it were recently on the back of trade concerns. u.s. growth was much stronger than eurozone growth in the third quarter. we are reconstructive long-term on the euro. 3%is running a surplus of gdp. if we think longer-term, we see the potential for greater fiscal action given a lot of countries are looking better. we are positive on the euro longer-term. tom: i think this is an incredibly important question francine brought up, the partial differentiation between any pair in the euro right now. you look at germany's surplus

today, what level of euro do we need to break the trend of german trade surplus? >> that is a hard question, one that is certainly about my ability to model. when our fx strategy team looks at it, they think there are reasonable arguments to say that fair value for the euro is closer to 1.35 against the dollar. tom: wow. >> that is something they think would be a reasonable fair value on a current account faces and purchasing parity basis. tom: francine, that is an extraordinary number, how far we have to go to get to fair value. francine: we will talk more about their value later. andrew, thank you. albng up, over to gallo -- erto gallo at 6:00 a.m. in new

lost more than a quarter of its value in a matter of months this year. that is why the central bank was forced to act to hike interest rates and keep the floor under lira. renewedency came under pressure last night. it is too early to say whether the pressure will continue. it is hard to pinpoint a tipping point. tom: thank you so much. we greatly appreciate your coverage this morning. with us this morning is andrew sheets from morgan stanley. he knows how to spell the word idiosyncratic. that is what i am hearing in so many conversations, turkey unique to turkey, argentina unique to argentina. are we anywhere near these individual stories coalescing into some form of em crisis or upset? >> i think crisis is too strong a word.

emerging markets broadly have had a very weak run of things. equities or foreign-exchange relative to those developed markets is the weakest it has been in recent history. those things have added up. for all they are related to hear and now events, it is facing the usual pattern where emerging markets tend to struggle late in the cycle. that is still going to be something in the background as a drumbeat for emerging markets. the policy is going to continue to tighten. that creates some challenges for those markets. there are other areas with think that risk premium has risen enough. we have become positive on mexican local rates. there are pockets where value has opened up.

quantity. we saw earlier in the parliamentary style, the winter of discontent, the collapse of the callahan government, is this to what happened with margaret thatcher? >> there are rumblings within theresa may's party that are unhappy, but i don't think we are at that stage yet. francine: are we going to see more resignations? >> that is the big question. yesterday, some of the brexiteers were saying there will be more resignations coming, and they will keep going until theresa may changes tack on brexit. most of the brexiteers in her have come out to support the policy. francine: what is the chance of the prime minister surviving a confidence vote? if she does survive it, she is untouchable for 12 months. >> yes.

they are going to be on hold in our view. they are not going to hike two and a half times in the next two years. credit is starting to become interesting in some emerging markets. you can now get the high single digits for bonds maturing in two or three years. tom: as president trump comes to europe, does the president come to a europe that has a more anglo-american business structure than four years ago or eight years ago? >> europe needs to do more growth on reforms. we know angela merkel has been , the pressure from the csu extreme far right party. there needs to be more progrowth measures. france is calling for it. italy is somewhat calling for. we still need a moment of unity in europe. francine: i want to ask you how

scrutiny from political observers in washington, d.c., so close to the beltway. i would note that they will meet one-on-one privately before they have their respective teams coming together to meet. cirilli, thank you so much. gallo joined by alberto here in westminster. what is the state of russian debt? we forget how fragile their economies. what is the state of the fiscal debt? >> the economy is in a sluggish environment, has been in a sluggish mode for a long time with rising inflation, declining localnd yields on currency bonds widening this

year. with oil prices at current levels, it is an economy that through, but if you have declining oil, you have serious problems. tom: i would say there is not enough discussion on the russian economy in politics. see it will depreciation as well continue with "bloomberg surveillance" this morning on television and radio. rupert harrison the moment. a special guest jeffrey sachs will join us. we will look at sustainability pressure.ssor sachs this is bloomberg. ♪ his is bloomberg. ♪

♪ tom: good morning, everyone's. we are in westminster, london. of course, the united kingdom in turmoil. as well, turkey.

benjamin harvey with us. for years, head of all of our turkey operations working out of a stumble. he is best out of a stumble best out of istanbul. what is the nature of the new erdogan government? reporter: this is very much a what you see is what you get cabinet he has appointed. the changes he's made as a whole paint the picture of a leader who wants no restrictions in his ability to formulate economic it.icy and implement there were moderating influences in the cabinet. those are all gone now. leader of every government is a slave to their foreign exchange, in this case the turkish lira.

are we anywhere near where the turkish lira comes a dominating force for mr. erdogan? reporter: not yet, i think. we are still quite a ways away from the levels we seen previously. lira was heading towards five. it is now at 4.7. the reaction in markets last night was very intense. the lira losses were heading towards 4%. the last time we saw a loss attemptt was the coup in 2016, so this was a very negative reaction for markets. francine: what did the changes to the central bank appointments actually mean for turkey, and so what does that mean for lira? reporter: the changes include erdogan removing any sort of advice and consent clauses on his ability to appoint central-bank and deputy governors -- central bank governors and deputy governors.

the prime ministers, deputy prime minister, an entire cabinet had to sign off. there are also removals of institutional restrictions. for instance, qualifications of deputy governors. they don't longer have to be in the service appointed sector for 10 years, so he can appoint anyone he wants. he wants lower interest rates. markets for years have been saying turkey's interest rates are already too low. check -- whatshim do we know about the new guy in charge of finance for mr. erdogan? does he have any experience managing an economy? reporter: on paper, his qualifications are quite good. he studied finance, had an mba, ran one of turkey's biggest holding companies. that said, he's not very well known to international

investors. he simply doesn't talk to them, or hasn't in the past. he talks to his pro-government media groups. what we can expect is he's very much going to influence his father-in-law's vision for the economy. much, our you so bureau chief for istanbul and all of turkey. with our first word news, here's taylor riggs. taylor: in thailand, three more boys have emerged from the flooded cave today according to cnn. that makes 11 of the 12 boys that have been rescued. one more boy and the soccer coach are inside, along with several thai navy seals who have been staying with them. president trump facing a major showdown over the future of the supreme court. the president has nominated appeals court judge brett kavanaugh to replace justice anthony kennedy. it could make it the most conservative court in generations. democrats are promising a fight.

democratic senate leader chuck schumer says he will oppose kavanaugh with everything he has. in china, the producer price index rose higher than expected in june, but analysts expect that to slow down. meanwhile, inflation at the consumer level hits 1.9%. as we were discussing in turkey come up president erdogan is following up on his pre-election pledge to tighten his grip on monetary policy, giving them the power to name the head of the central bank and its deputy governors. in the past, other members of the turkish government joined the president in making the appointment. global news 24 hours a day, on air and at tictoc on twitter, powered by more than 2700 journalists and analysts in more than 120 countries. i'm taylor riggs. this is bloomberg. tom, francine? francine: thanks so much. let's continue with one of our top stories.

here at westminster, rupert harrison of black rock. the inside workings of westminster like no other. what is happening right now? are we expecting more resignations? does the tory party break apart? predictions in the short-term have to be taken with a grain of salt. the guide to what is going to happen is lyndon baines johnson's first rule of politics , which is you have to count. at the moment, theresa may have the numbers. there are probably enough numbers to challenge her, but she has the numbers to win that challenge and stay in place. for the moment that is a stabilizing factor. francine: they say she is

untouchable for 12 months. once you are challenged in a year, you can't be challenge for another year. they don't want to mount a challenge that then fails. i think they are going to bide their time and see another opportunity to change their policy. francine: and the pound is not moving. guest: it is interesting. this is happening at the same time as people see a general move towards a softer brexit, and i think the u.k. political system realizing that no deal is not an option for the u.k. and they are going to have to make some compromises. tom: tell me about the political middle in the united kingdom. -- has almost a centrist towards a middle, a talking point. multiple on are

brexit, but what we seen is the middle in parliament and the conservative party reasserting themselves. you get a lot of noise from the brexiteers. we've heard from david davis, boris johnson, but the core of the conservative party and in parliament, i think they think >> it has to happen, but they want a smooth brexit that is deliverable and doesn't deliver a big economic shock to the u.k.. that is the direction economic policy is headed. tom: is that doable with the europeans? do they want to hand that to the british? guest: that is the key issue. the day we are focused on british domestic politics. the keel shoe is the european side. the u.k. has moved towards what the european side are asking, but there's still very much a hard take on views at the moment.

yelling in the background, does he work for you in government? [laughter] whycine: if you look at boris johnson resigned, do we thatto try and understand he was forced to harden the brexit stance? does he have a chance to be prime minister? guest: he doesn't have the numbers, so i don't see that happening at the moment. the manner of his resignation yesterday didn't do any favors. it looks like he was forced into acting by david davis, thinking more about how his vision was perceived that his precision -- his position was perceived rather than his actual principled objection. let's have some speculation.

does it change the dynamic for theresa man anyway? -- theresa may in any way? tom: explain for our global audience who michael go be is. guest: he's a long-standing believer in brexit. he and theresa may have clashed over the years. y differenter styles -- they have very different styles and views on the world. i think that thinking is what is going to deliver a decent outcome to the u.k. let's get brexit done in a way that is deliverable and probably carry on fighting other details

for another decade. francine: [inaudible] -- delayed in the publication that triggered resignations. parts of theow white paper weren't included. were you disappointed by that? what does it mean for the u.k. economy? it is a clear problem for the services sector, but i don't think it is surprising. sector, these just ined supply chains time delivery, products crossing borders several times for the final product, those will not survive unless you are in the customs union and single market. it is sadly a victim at the moment of the politics. the services sector, most of the services sector, is less

vulnerable to that change. francine: isn't that cherry picking? if it is, will brussels ever agree to it? guest: in the end, will the allow a relationship little bit of free movement? if we don't get that for stability, we are really heading for a crisis moment. if you force the u.k. to choose between u.k. and canada -- between norway and canada, you get a last-minute crisis. tom thought he was coming to europe to follow donald trump. tom: i was so intimidated in with rupert harrison that i corn a bot -- wrote about laws and peel. maybe we can talk about investment at some point.

.our briefing across america "bloomberg daybreak." please stay with us from westminster. this is bloomberg.

♪ foror: microsoft is going the low end of the personal computing market, coming out with a cheaper service pro tablet to compete with the ipad. it goes for $399, half the price of the current service pro tablet -- current surface pro tablet. according to customer growth partners, school shopping will rise more than 5% due in part to

higher disposable income and a strong labor market. that may indicate retailers will also have a strong christmas season. excitement about england's performance in the world cup has boosted consumer spending on televisionsues, and , up 5.1% in the past year. much.ne: thank you so we are back here at westminster. our main focus will be on brexit , but donald trump, the president of the united states of america, also arriving in europe a little later today. first meeting with nato allies in brussels, they come into the u.k., meeting the queen and the prime minister, and then on to helsinki to meet with president putin of russia. not only a man looking

at sustainability, but one of the foremost experts when it comes to russian-u.s. relations. he is jeffrey sachs of columbia university. first of all, you're doing a lot of work on sustainability. is there a danger that all of this work gets lost because of trade tensions and geopolitics? a huge danger because sustainability requires looking at the longer-term fairness,e climate, pollution. we are not even looking at the . we areerm these days looking at the trade war the battle within our alliance, all the noise. we are hardly paying attention to the long-term future. the united states just ranks very low on looking ahead.

francine: where does the -- where is the incentive when we look at sustainability? it has to start with a common decision that we are going to save the it has tostopt other species and the climate change, with his -- which is very serious and advanced, but we do not pay attention to in the united states. we need energy transition. we need to move to renewable energy. but we are doing the opposite, in washington at least. in the states it is a little different in some parts of our country. but in our policies, we are trying to pump up as much fossil fuel use and business as possible, exactly going in the wrong direction, and very dangerous for the future.

maybe not for the next month or six months, but the next 10 years, 20 years, 40 years. absolutely reckless. i want to get rupert harrison in just a minute, but you are one of the experts on the u.s. and russia. president trump will meet with president putin in helsinki. what does that mean for nato allies? guest: we don't really know what it means, and we won't know precisely what it means until we have robert mueller's report taylor: the truth -- report. the truth is there is a mystery that continues to be very russia about meddling in u.s. politics. we would be naive to make any .lear judgments right now

we are still waiting to know. francine: rupert harrison of black wok -- of blackrock with me. when you look at trump in defend orll he antagonizes allies? how will the market the reacting? guest: people expect him to put pressure on defense and trade. european policymakers are not focusing on long-term arguments about sustainability. they are trying to put out the fires the donald trump has lit, ,hich is his commitment to nato trying to avoid a significant shift in u.s. policy towards and defending u.s.-eu

trade. that's a key issues where people will be trying to persuade donald trump that we agree about points you make about china, why are you fighting this trade war at the same time? francine: willie go after germany? if -- will he go after germany? guest: i'm not going to try to predict donald trump. we expect him to make comments about defense spending and protectionism, and for example, auto tariffs. there is a potential to increase defense spending. i don't think it will increase in a way that will satisfy donald trump. i think germany is certainly the country that feels most under

pressure by many of the things and is trying to lead the response. whether they can be solutions in the short-term is much more uncertain. --ncine: professor sachs [inaudible] what does that mean for president trump's policy? guest: again, we don't really know what is going out of this man's head because he's making conflict and crises that didn't exist before. but right now the trade rhetoric and the first steps in raising tariffs are both bizarre and dangerous. right now it looks like a skirmish, a game. but it is not a game at all. the president is using authority recklessly.

all of his steps are under the claim of national security. it is incredible that this is not scrutinized more, that one person basically can make decisions like this on a vacuous claim of national security to break up the trading system and create crises. the problem is we are putting out fires that an arsonist has set, basically, while not anding at the real problems investments we need to make for the future. it is rather bizarre, but that's what he has us talking about everyday. our sense of -- our system is not working because it is letting one person do this right of any rule of law. francine: he's still the president of the united states, and a lot of people may give him the benefit of the doubt. maybe you will get a better deal. he has is based fired up on what he's going to do.

guest: i don't get any benefit of the doubt on this. i think it is just bizarre from night. till it is a fantasy world. we are not doing anything other than undermining trust, undermining rule of night. law, undermining longer-term thinking . everyone is scurrying moment to moment to guess what will be for an extraordinarily odd president. this is not a case of benefit of the doubt. this is a case of every day, some kind of damage control. francine: rupert harrison, cares about the markets. when will they take notice of some of the policies president trump is putting in place? >> when we look at markets

across the world, it is very difficult to see any premium priced in already. we talk about it a lot. it is a key issue. but if we look at recent moves in emerging markets, we see fundamentals of the u.s. economy remains strong. there's going to be a limited response. get escalation, we will see the market response when that comes through in court. until then, i think it is mainly noise. francine: this is one of the points a lot of investors are saying. if you were to start a trade war, this is almost the only time the u.s. had because of strong fundamentals in the u.s. economy. >> i think the word fundamental needs to be used carefully.

i think it is absolutely right that the markets are looking at the short term. i don't think they are looking at the fundamentals in terms of the five-year, 10 year, 15 year forward direction of our economy are you have massive deficits rapidly rising, public debt. taking care of climate change. the question of fundamentals is a real issue. tunedt think markets are to fundamentals looking forward. they are tended to the business cycle. .he business cycle is strong i think rather than trade, the question starting to be asked is how we seen -- is have we seen the best of this current cycle in the u.s. maybe the fed has raise rates to

high. that spread of macro uncertainty going into 2019 is probably the major focus. francine: thank you both for joining us today, rupert harrison joining us at westminster, and jeffrey sachs for thebia university united states secretary-general. joining "bloomberg surveillance" on radio. this is bloomberg. retail.
