whether to exit without a deal. here is where futures are lining up ahead of the open. ftse 100 is down nearly 0.5%. cac 40 futures down. london will take center stage again for all of europe today as we have the crucial vote. now, the markets are beginning to open. ftse 100 is opening to the downside. we had the momentum coming from asia off the back foot. even though they started the week why positive, still waiting on the rest of the continent to open. spain opening to the downside. weighing heavily on the spanish benchmark there. they had earnings sales growi -- growth really slowing. the cac 40, as well, down. let's sic a look at what is going on in the sector picture. you can see it is a sea of red.

we are seeing negative momentum into the start of the open. i want to focus on energy. we have the oil price rallying. i want to see how that is going to affect. we see some green. how that will affect oil majors. they are all talking in houston. consumer discretionary in the red. we had earnings reported. adidas reported earnings. europe is ang that problem for them. matt, what are you seeing across individual movers? matt: right now, we are looking at brent to the downside. 397 stocks are falling. you take a look at the winners this morning in terms of points, you will see that sap is adding the most points. think of santander, standard adding points as well. then you have some consumer staple stocks. nestlé is adding points this morning.

tell building. all adding to it would be a gain if it were not down. let's take a look at the losers. the biggest point deductions. right here at the top. down 3.8%. you also have british american tobacco, after losing a case in canada, getting protection after defeat in a smoking case. that is falling this morning. then you have some of the other banks. .sbc falling really helping track the stoxx 600 down. anna? markets,t, european opening lower. in britain, the pound is on firmer footing as brexit plans

were rejected by parliament yet again. the new language around the irish backstop failed to win voters among lawmakers. i profoundly regret the decision this house has taken tonight. i continue to believe that the best outcome is that the united kingdom leave the european union in orderly fashion with a deal. >> the government has been defeated again by an enormous majority and they must accept their proposal is clearly dead and does not have the support of this house. quite clearly no deal must be taken off the table. this is a humiliating defeat for the government this evening and this deal should not come back again. >> with your vast knowledge of parliamentary history, can you identify a single case since the american war of independence in which a prime minister has been

defeated and continues? today, lawmakers will continue to vote on whether to take the no deal option off the table. , the house of commons will be asked about extending article 50. isning us now with analysis the head of macro strategy at state street. very good to have you with us. theoubt you are watching twists and turns of the pound yesterday. we have seen the pound gaining a little bit of ground. you don't think that the pound strength is going to be long-lasting because you think fair value has been eroded. >> i think it is more of the longer-term story. yout after the referendum, had a really strong fair value case to make for sterling. first of all, it has rallied against the euro and the dollar.

second of all, the fair value estimation based upon relative prices has come in quite a lot over the last year, 18 months, simply because of the results of the weaker pound over the last couple years. inflation rates relative to the rest of the world have run higher. the long-term fair value case is still there, it is just much weaker. you will get some overshoot to fair value. long-lasting, more importantly. matt: is there any positive scenario for the u.k. economy? the choices seem to be hard brexit or delay? timothy: i suspect you have a net positive versus the status quo. we have done significant damage to the investment environment and it is not as though is if

you get a fully positive outcome in the next couple months that 100% of the delayed or curtailed investment will come rushing back in. a lot of it will. it will be a growth positive scenario. looking where trend growth is, we have taken a shift lower. i suspect it will take a long time to do so. i was reading something which suggested one strategy saying the trend lower in gilt yields is set to continue due to haven demand in the u.k. is part of the story, but you have high conviction on your underweight guilt call on a positive brexit outcome. talk us through that. i think even on a negative, you will get positive performance. natural demand, but it is more on a relative basis. the probabilities do favor a

solid outcome. for us, it is the highest conviction way of playing the story. sterling is so volatile day today. the equity view is so tied to the sterling view. the rate view is a little easier to think around? matt: is there any way to value sterling post-brexit? tim: what you can do is rely on , thatf the methodologies sterling is a little bit undervalued. somewhat probably say quite a bit undervalued.

there are other factors to consider in that model. the notion of what the u.k.'s external balance situation is, which is still to be determined, with the u.k. rate environment is, which is still to be determined. it is a very difficult assessment to make. easy,n do it relatively but the problem with exchange rates is that they are dependent on dozens of variables, so i think it is always a hard thing to do in the best of times. what you are talking about now is a cloudy environment as far as what the u.k. relationship to the eu and the rest of the world looks like and that makes it even more of a guessing game, i would say. tim, thank you so much. timothy stays with us in our london studio for more. up next, we will bring you the stocks on the move. we have been watching the owner of the zara clothing chain trading down this morning. numbers outweighing the return

of cash to shareholders. this is bloomberg. ♪

anna: welcome back to the european open. just minutes into your trading day. european equity markets. you have european equity markets, some in the green. a couple of those big markets trading downward. let's get our individual stories. annmarie: thanks.

it is a bit of pressure on the retail sector this morning. let's start with inditex, the owner of zara, down nearly 4.5% this morning. the slowest space in five years even as they are boosting cash to shareholders. it is not helping the stock today. a do you just down nearly 5.5% this morning. they are seeing slowing sales. maybe retro footwear is losing momentum. the ceo saying europe is a problem for them. he also said the linkup with kanye west. aberdeen is to the up this morning. dualas they scrapped the structure for ceo. matt: all right. thanks very much. annmarie looking at some of the big movers of the session. european indexes are mixed at the open. futures signal a lower start for the u.s. with investors voicing

concerns over the direction of global growth. tim graf, head of macro strategy for emea at state street, is still with us. i read an interesting story. nejra flagged an interesting story to me this morning about morgan stanley and bank of america saying it is time to play the contrarian move on european stocks and so long. long because they are valued so poorly. what do you think about this big contrarian play by european stocks? tim: for us, it is not quite the time for that yet. when you look at european share valuation relative to earnings, the multiple is really in line with long-term historic averages. you are looking at trend earnings, multiples. it is so one of our favorite underweights. positive case you can make is

the ecb does remain committed to the banking system. that is the key variable for european stocks when you look at them on an index basis. if there is to be index outperformance, it is likely to have to come from the financial sector. we still see that is under pressure for the very near term. i suppose assuming they are supported for the very long-term, that is how you can build a better relative case. i think that is a big if still and not one we are willing to embrace quite yet. anna: we talk a lot about the japanification of rates or the japanification of the european economy. the question we are is trying to establish what does it mean if we see german bond yields getting lower and lower and lower. what does it tell you about the amount that the german economy, about the eurozone economy? it does notface,

really tell me a lot i did not already know because there is this ongoing slowdown in europe. what it tells me more is this slowdown that they have at their disposal. this is part two of a long-term european bullish equity case if fiscal space is to be eventually and of stimulate growth monetary policy is not necessary out of bullets. maybe less effective when you are at the zero bound. if it is not exhausted, certainly well used. that would make me far more optimistic if they were using on the back of this move that space toward simulating the american isnomy in a way that monetary policy going forward. matt: though it is terribly unlikely. the germans are very unlikely to spend any money for the next century or so.

what does that mean? do we just see bonds hovering around zero forever? don't use that space, i suspect it is going to be very hard. that has been the favorite call over the less couple years for contrarians, and it has not really worked. much the same way selling jgb's has not worked the last 20 years. if they fail to use the fiscal idiom,it is an overused but the demographic profile is not very healthy. the fiscal situation is less healthy than what you have seen over the last 20 years or so as far as moving fiscal policy. i'm afraid you are not going to see inflation expectations rise. as a result, term premium will not be put into rate markets and you will have you low yields for a very long time. all right. thanks very much. tim graf, head of macro strategy

at state street for emea. i want to take a look at the sectors on the move with the grr function for the stoxx 600 this morning. herea look at the gainers as far as the gaining sectors. you have oil and gas. auto parts and travel and leisure. losers include retail, household goods, and construction, and materials. ♪ this is bloomberg. ♪

matt: welcome back to "bloomberg markets." this is the european open. a mixed picture on the boards. not a heck of a lot of movement. head of macro strategy for emea at state street, tim gra, is still with usf, -- tim graf, is still with us. let me get your perspective on what is happening in trade. do you expect that the u.s. and china are going to move to a positive or move to an agreement here that can be a boost to stocks? tim: i suspect so. i think the reality is far cloudier. we are relying on panic notes and hearsay and tweets, which

are always quest in a bowl. -- questionable. i suspect it is in both parties'interests to reach an accord. an arrangement will boost equities, remove uncertainty in trade and equity, and so, therefore, it boosts the economy as he is approaching the reelection season. for china, the impact on trade and the regional growth outlook has been quite clear. i suspect it is in their interest to remove their uncertainty. i think these negotiators have their interests at heart. we have seen with brexit, with trade negotiations, with rhetoric around geopolitics, that sometimes countries don't act in their best interest or perceived best interest, but it does seem the likely path we are heading down. anna: tim, tax cuts and share buybacks and other matters, strong growth seems to have led

to u.s. outperformance of stocks over recent months or recent years even. how convinced are you about outperformance by u.s. equities from now? tim: yes, for us it is not just tax cuts and buybacks. the earnings and the return on profile remains on a relative basis the strongest out there. it does have the valuation concerns that have been out there for a couple of years now. it does have something of consensus risk behind it. everybody thinks what i just said, but that is the reality, especially when you are in a slow growth world elsewhere. in more trade dependent economies, such as the eurozone, china, as we are seeing in japan more recently, so i relative basis, the corporate earnings outlook for the u.s. being more of a closed economy that is less at risk from these threats of trade protectionism, it does stand to benefit a little bit longer, we think. matt: what about the dollar? since we got the last fed

minutes and then we got the ecb decision, we have really seen the range unchanged against the yen at 111, the euro it basically 1.13. you expect the dollar to move higher or lower? tim: over the near-term, i would struggle to be too bearish. i understand not really loving the dollar. it is a bit of a consensus, a bit expensive. but it is the rate dynamic and it is the relative health of the u.s. economy relative to places like europe, japan, china, where you do have this ability for the u.s. to grow at a sustainable rate that is far better than those economies. therefore, it might allow, the financial conditions remain conducive for the next 3-6 months, it might allow the fed to actually continue the rate normalization path. i suspect that is a pretty high bar for them to clear, especially given the rhetoric of late, but nevertheless, when you look at measures of core

inflation, they are still around target. the labor market, despite the big miss last week, when you look at an average basis, it is still pretty healthy. it is hard to see the case for a pronounced slowdown in the u.s. on a par with what we have seen in europe. for that reason, i struggle to be too bearish on the dollar. anna: you struggle to be bearish, tim. i was reading jeffrey gundlach. that increasing debt levels in the united states are going to weigh on the dollar. you don't buy into that? tim: not really. if that were the case, we would have seen treasury yields should higher over the last couple years, where we have been running since the end of last year -- the end of 2017 -- pro -cyclical fiscal policy, expanding budgets in an economic growth area. yet term premium on treasuries remains very depressed. absolute rates remain low for historic norms. there is demand for treasuries.

it is being demanded by domestics. you arert-term yields, actually getting decent risk-adjusted yield. so, there has been buyers coming in to support treasury. if there had not been the case, i could see his point. the flow support for treasuries right now -- and looking at yields and term premium -- that would suggest that is not the case, unless you move toward an mmt style highly expansionary fiscal policy, which is probably not going to happen for some time, if ever. matt: tim, i'm not going to get your take on the keto diet or ganghnam style, but do you expect this to last with mmt or is this a fleeting twitter trend? itself, concept of mmt to my mind, it is talking about expansionary fiscal policy in an era where growth and productivity that drives growth

remains sluggish and some attempt to correct for that. it is kind of the populist element of this taking hold, seeing that monetary policy has its limits sometimes does lead to greater inequality through asset price inflation, where lower tiers of income and wealth don't see that appreciation. it is the next phase of this populist movement and this zeitgeist we see. but to me, that is just thinking about it being fiscal expansionism when all of the policy tools seemingly have been exhausted. as a concept, mmt is probably a bit of a fad, but as part of the zeitgeist toward moving away from austerity untoward expansionary fiscal policy, i suspect we are going to be talking about this and other types of programs for a while. anna: ok. tim, thank you very much. , we are ending our conversation talking about mmt. where it might go from here.

and for an extension does not solve the problem we face. eu will want to know about an extension. the: joining us now is chief economist at the confederation of british industry. it ishe eu is asked, going to say no problem because nobody wants to be responsible for pushing britain out of the eu without a deal. how do you think that billy is going to affect british industry? i think what is most important for british industry at the moment is absolutely taking no deal off the table. that is what we need to see happen in parliament today. we do need to move to call for an extension. think what we need to see in that extension is a credible

plan. i think just extending without a plan doesn't give businesses any reassurance that we won't then face a no deal brexit at the end of june. if they have a credible plan, what are they have already put that forward? isn't that the issue? rain: i think this is where we need to see both parties coming together and really working on this. i think theresa may does need to get rid of her red lines. we need to look at this a fresh. we also need the labour party to come forward with a genuine spirit of compromise. what is most important over the next couple of months is that we get a withdrawal agreement and d so that we can have time to negotiate our relationship with the european union. anna: good morning to you. redlinestheresa may's from an economic perspective would you recommend she get rid of? rain: when we talk to

businesses, and we have seen it today with all of the conversations about what might happen with our terrace regime regime, is we absolutely should be a part of some sort of customs union with the eu. we have always said that should be the plan until or unless something better comes onto the table. we absolutely need to think about our access to the single market. there has been so much focus on goods, but 18% of our economy is centered on services. at the moment, we have no idea how data will move across borders, our engineers, scientists and designers will be able to provide services to our major customers across the european union in two weeks time. suggested, we have heard about what the government in the with tariffs event of a notice brexit.

we have heard a little bit about protections for car production in agriculture and country, but not for other sectors of the economy. which sectors do you think would suffer from increased global competition if we did see a new brexit? rain: i think what this just shows is there hasn't been the sort of consultation with business that you would expect. it is really good that they have been thinking through how it might impact the car industry, ceramics industry, but actually, what would it mean for toy manufacturers, furniture manufacturers? there would be so many businesses that would be affected by a change in our tariff schedule. it just comes back to this that this needs to remain a some radical discussion. we cannot be faced with a notice brexit in two weeks time with no time for businesses to prepare. we know if we were in a no deal scenario, we would see a big impact on currency, a big increase in inflation, and a

loss of access to our major trading partner. we really need to think what that means not just for tariffs, but for our wider service sector economy as well. matt: in the event that this moves forward as expected, no deal gets loaded down, and extension is asked for in , how are your members going to go forward? they have still got to continue on or shut down, right? rain: businesses are inherently pragmatic. they are used to dealing with risk and uncertainty. they are used to just trying to focus on what makes, what is important to grow their business, how they need to get investment, how they adopt new technologies. having this huge uncertainty around brexit makes it so much more difficult for businesses to make those plans. this is something that is very

much in the control of u.k. parliament, u.k. government. we should be able to come up with a credible plan at this stage and move on to having a transition arrangement, and being able to negotiate our long-term future with the european union. that is what is most important. newton, thanks very much for joining us. up next, we will bring you some of the stocks on the move. an italian soccer team progressed to the quarterfinals of the champions league. this is bloomberg. ♪

your business? we heard this morning about the u.k. government would put in place protections for the car industry, agriculture. what kind of impact with that have on your company? orthe biggest impacts, negative impact is the uncertainty about whatever is going to be the outcome, the no deal or any extension or whatever. we have been doing whatever we could be doing in the sense that we have been building more inventory for what the u.k. is concerned. we have somewhat of a positive sheltered situation because most of what we sell in the u.k., we produce in the u.k. new this to say in the total uncertainty about what is going to happen, you can't keep waiting for every type of contingency going forward. we would be more protection. we really are in dire need of having some certainty about with the features going to hold. protection,ms of

will you be shrinking it post-brexit, adding to it in some of the built on m&a deals you are doing, or just leave it as it is? u.k. market us, the is a key market with our household names in their segment. it is a very important market. it is just shy of one billion euros a year. we have been looking at producers,s on other so that remains the case. everything has to be looked through a spectrum of what is the next four or five years of the u.k.? that makes it a bit more difficult. 4s, the u.k. remains important. i have been on record to say this will be alive after any scenario brexit, but we are looking forward to increase certainty as to what this is going to look like.

matt: how about the possibility of bolt on m&a outside the u.k.? what are the key portfolio gaps you are looking to fill in 2019? thierry: we are on this improvement plan for the company , which meansities having a certain profit target by 2020. we are well on our way to achieve that. what we did is really an in-depth analysis of our business. they are also looking at m&a, how they can play a role. last year, the company did about 10 m&a deals from small ones to significant ones. they were all surgically addressing an improvement opportunity within those businesses. there has also been some corrections we have had to make where he did quite some steps last year in 2018. the same has been outside of the u.k., outside of your even --

i think he has a secret spreadsheet looking at which way things will go in terms of votes. where are we now? does theresa may's government survive this week? rob: i think the government survives. i think probably theresa may survives. there are people talking about whether to throw her overboard, but for what? from within her party. they are the only people who can do it, in a way. the problem is, what do you do then? facing any prime minister and to get any deal through our structural. -- are structural. although it is hard to see how this prime minister can get this it also does it mean changing does anything.

it was significant last night that may said that we will have the vote today as promised and it, and will implement everyone expects parliament to vote by a similarly large margin tomorrow to ask for a delay. at that point, we expect may to go and ask for it. we expect the eu to agree to a short delay. no deal on march 29 looks unlikely at this point. ofdeal in the second half may, that is possible. what the eu fears is i think what is possible is the fear of rolling requests in the u.k. i think it is entirely plausible. david cameronr

walking out about black door at walkeding street, and he out the door with grace and dignity after the collapse. he resigned. what is the difference between and thisesigning then primal call i see in the media asking why won't prime minister may resign? why doesn't she just say, this didn't work out, let's let somebody else doing? because there is a strong case that david cameron walking out when he did just left a huge mess to someone else, in this case, for theresa may. i think she would say that if she walks away now, it doesn't solve anything. it is hard to imagine any successor she might have from the cabinet who would have more support in parliament then she has. most of the likely candidates less.likely have her argument is that somebody

has to do this job, i'm here, let me do it. francine: would an extension be attached to anything? it is very difficult politically for brussels to say that is it, we not going to write you an extension. but will they require a template -- basically, why are we extending? rob: right. i think may have to go back and say something more than, we would like a bit more time for geoffrey cox to try to get a bit more. can the eu give a little bit more? maybe the brexiteers could be satisfied with slightly more assurances. i know that sounds ridiculous, but that would just hint yesterday that they might be ready to take something. a climbe looking for down this time is day yesterday. another option is she says i am

going, we will replace me, or i am going, we have a general rule election. after that, the new government has got to work out his position in it and that looking somewhere rather like this. there is a school of thought to ask for two years and start again. that would be difficult. tom: thank you so much for your wisdom. greatly appreciate the work you and the brexit team are doing. what do you see in the city with all of the fed is going on down the road, a modest three subway stops. what do you see in the financial part of london? is there plans here to leave? are there plans to wait it out? what is the tony see every day?

geoff: it is business as usual, really. if anything, my train is more packed as far as people are concerned. i don't think there is too much attrition. what is more important is their exasperation, and i think that is reflected in client conversations as well. tom: where is this headed and within the client conversations, i assume there is brexit exhaustion. the besttton says, outcome is to go another two years. i don't think brussels wants to do that, but do the people? bearing in mind it is ubs, we have a lot of international clients. i think that is where the opportunity is for the u.k. right now. clients are under position in the u.k.

they have got limited amount of exposure to sterling. they just need a layer of uncertainty. they know there is value in the u.k.. i think they are waiting for that certainty before they really pull the trigger. francine: what does this all mean for pound? geoff: again, we are not rolling any scenario out right now. forecasts a high degree of uncertainty. if there is a no deal, we can see and move below 120. are weent valuations, interested in adding to sterling positions? not really. i think for now, sterling is trading on a day-to-day basis. francine: thank you so much, yu ofy you -- geoffrey ubs stays with us for the hour.

tom: we welcome all of you this morning. huge news flow this morning, the story on bowling. we now go to brussels and maria tadeo. i read in one story that brussels needs a unanimous vote to extend all of this. does mr. juncker tell everybody what to do?

does mr. barnier tell everybody what to do, or is there actual debate in brussels? maria: there is a very real debate here, and it is very funny how things are so different compared to london because the new here in brussels is just bleak. they think the u.k. was given a second chance. this was obviously not the case, and that the chances of a no deal have actually risen. today, the message we have heard is that every country in the eu now needs to prepare for a no deal. no deal chances have risen. if anything, it is a very short extension that you would consider. tom: angela merkel has been very strident of a support of prime minister may. do you see a nation difference across europe? isn't germany or poland or somebody else that actually supports prime minister may? : again, i would say the

only friend she has is the dutch prime minister. that is because they have a very interlinked business relationship. say, euwhat brexiteers unity is holding strong. 27y have to agree that the of them have to come unanimously. they would favor a very short extension, nothing beyond may. what i hear in brussels is that chances of no deal have actually risen. much,ne: thank you so maria tadeo joining us from brussels. whether no deal will definitely be taken off the table with that vote this evening. joining us now is a professor of european law at the university of cambridge. thank you. it seems lawyers have taken over.

it was really the attorney general that put this deal debt. what would it take for him to reverse his stance? >> it's good news for lawyers because we finally recognize the value of law. what theem was that u.k. had asked for was that we would have a unilateral exit from the backstop. the backstop is what regulates the relations between the north and south. what the brexiteers don't want is to be trapped into that backstop forever. the eu says it is like an insurance policy and you don't want to have a hole in your insurance policy just when you need it most. the u.k. was trying to say we want an exit and the eu says no. what quebec was a real fudge and it basically said we could sort of get an extension. francine: if you speak to people in the eu, they say the goal

post that they pay has been launching has changed. before, they were saying, what if the eu is unreasonable, we want out.and now they want to unilaterally get out of the backstop . this is a completely different demand. >> the trouble is that you don't to the language of reasonableness in the text. the attorney general, they're a good english lawyer wanted to put this magical term reasonableness in there because it is a common law concept, therefore the court of justice should have no say. what they were trying to box was make sure the court of justice in luxembourg has no control over this at all because the european court of justice is the real big face the brexiteers don't like. francine: but then who would be the arbiter? catherine: that is the problem.

there's an arbitration mechanism that has 10 in the k and five independence -- u.k. and five independents. that is ultimately for the court of justice. francine: the law in the u.k. is very different from loss outside the u.k. and other european countries. i don't know whether we have lost half of our international audience. it is crazy that we are discussing amendments and how they would be interpreted when this should be a political decision. ctheatherine: this is where it s interesting. the attorney general said on the law, we have not got what we wanted. the politicians said no. that is what goes back to your original point about the lawyers. this is where you have a dovetailing of law and politics and it is missing. francine: thank you so much for

becausen is, or is it they cannot get anything through the parliament? lord mandelson: that is the rationale. the entire political system is in a state of paralysis. the reason for that is not just complexitythe innate of the issues we are struggling with an hour attempt to unplug the u.k. economy from our biggest and nearest home export market, but because also the british cabinet is not unanimous in its view about how we should leave the european union. inre is no majority parliament for how we should leave the european union. because of that, an extension seems obvious, but the european union will not simply want to and watch it drift

inexorably onwards as britain continues what amounts to the biggest political crisis we have faced in peacetime history. they have their own lives, work, and affairs to get on with. the prospect for europe of having britain sitting on its doorstep, not being able to go standd because as things we would simply blow up the unable toonomy, but reverse either under this prime minister because that would blow up our own conservative party. not sitpean union will back and allow this to continue indefinitely. the e.u. do you think can give anything more to the u.k.? it could be something in the wording or something that would get the u.k. at of the backstop if the other side were unreasonable? are we talking legal terms?

lord mandelson: there is no wording that could finesse what is a fundamental difference within the cabinet and within parliament between those who are basically the hardliners who want a clear-cut, clean break between britain and the european union, and those who want not all the wiring to be pulled out, but more surgical, rational, period of adjustment over time. the difference between those who feel the huge disruption that would be involved in the first course is one we can live with and get over fairly quickly, and those who believe it would be tantamount to pushing britain and its economy over a precipice into an abyss below.

it is not a matter of wording from brussels that will provide a solution to this impasse. that impasse has to be found in britain, within the british government and parliament. until that happens, i do not think we have any prospect of in ourng this paralysis politics. francine: let me give you options on how to get over the impasse. a new tory leader, general election, a no deal brexit, or a second referendum -- what is more likely? lord mandelson: i think a no deal brexit will be ruled out by parliament today and the government will have to accept that as parliaments will. live in al parliamentary democracy and the government has to base its actions on the will of

parliament. , yes, it isection possible, but if theresa may falls, a new conservative prime minister might want to take the whole thing back to the country, get a renewed mandate and reconfigured house of commons with a majority emerging out of that for some deal they might put forward. the conservatives would be nervous about that because i think the british public will not thank them for the mess they have delivered us into an coming back to them to get a different mandate after they failed to deliver the first one. a referendum again is possible. i do not relish the prospect of that, but it is a matter of political necessity, almost legitimacy for any outcome in this brexit process, that it is

finally signed off by the british public. unless the british public do this, there will be no ending to the struggle that will continue within the different political points of view in parliament. at the end of the day, the british people launched this process of brexit and at the end of the day, whatever that determination is, the british people will have to sign it off. francine: what can labour do? we heard jeremy corbyn first wanted general elections, then he seemed to be behind the idea of a second referendum and now he is going back to general elections. what theonfused about labour party its leaders want now? lord mandelson: i am a member of the labour party but do not speak for it. the predominant opinion in the labour party is that we must have the least disruptive form

of brexit, one that mitigates, reduces the risks and inevitable damage to our trade and jobs and livelihoods, but that is not an option that theresa may is putting to the house of commons and not one on which they can vote. viewly, there is a probably of the same size among labour mp's that whatever the outcome, the british people need to confirm that is what they actually want to see happen. we are dealing with an outcome that is very difficult from what people were expected or promised when they voted in 2016. we are facing an outcome that will be far less reduced in its value from britain than the deal we are to members of the european union.

given that we have moved so far away from the deal we have presently or what was promised or expected when we left, it is right in principle and frankly legitimacy that the british people are gone back to and asked their view. , there was a very narrow difference between those who voted for brexit, about 17 million people and those who million.inst, 16 22 million did not voted all. francine: lord peter mandelson, thank you so much. we continue our brexit coverage. ♪

thailand and india are among the latest, and assessments by the faa that the plane is safe. while the faa's credibility is on the line, regulators stand by ther decision in grounding boeing 737 max. george ferguson is with us. great to have you. it seems the u.s. is going one way and everyone else is going the other way. the airplane is in a lot fleetsrport -- american and has been operated safely here for probably the last six months or so. the faa is looking at that and thinking the aircraft is ok to operate. the challenge is some of the u.s. pilot unions have come out and said they are concerned about this anti-stall system and

it puts a heavier workload on a pilot at crucial times like take off. the rest of the world has taken less of a tolerance of risk. it looks like the faa is isolated here. i am concerned that they will have to give in. francine: why is the faa saying this? economy or thee bottom line of boeing into consideration, or do they have a different way of training pilots? see the u.s. carriers as operating it safely. i think that will be their stance. they should not be taking in the financial considerations of boeing. they are charged with safety. it is a rough position the faa has taken. much do we know

about who will have to pay the damages or costs lost, revenue lost because the fleet was grounded? george: i think if it does come out -- we are still in early days in the address above a -- addis ababa investigation. if this is boeing's fault, there will break desk there will be a bunch of remuneration to airlines. of course, to families as well. we do not think it will threaten boeing's existence. they have a fair amount of cash on the balance sheet. airplanes crash and companies that make them survive those events. boeing will be responsible for some remuneration, i think. francine: what are you hearing

about how quickly we will hear what happened through the black box? george: i think this will take a week or so. the faa wants to accelerate this. last night in the states, i saw a reporting that the faa and the opie and authority -- ethiopian authorities are discussing where the black locks will be opened. the faa is focused, given that they are one of the few who think they are can be operated safely. they can figure out whether or not they should change their stance or stay where they are and say the airplane can be operated. francine: george ferguson, bloomberg intelligence senior airline analyst. the former u.s. transportation secretary will join bloomberg,

defeated by an enormous majority and they must accept their deal is clearly dead and does not have the support of this house. quite clearly, no deal must be taken off the table. speaker, for the government, this deal should not come back anyway or shape. >> can you identify a single case, say since the american war of independence, and which a prime minister has been twice defeated and continued with the same policy? francine: joining us now for more on brexit is anneliese u.k. shattered treasury minister. we are trying to figure a -- shadow treasury minister. we are trying to figure out the next step.

jeremy corbyn wanted a general election been shifted to a referendum and now we are back on a general election. anneliese: we need to have a general election. we have enormous economic problems in our country. we have got to have that general election. when it comes to brexit specifically, the priority is clear that the deal did not pass. we wanted to make sure a catastrophic deal did not happen so we are forcing the government to solicit us as the opposition and to listen to the country. we need to have a relationship and customs union with the rest of the e.u. francine: do we need a second referendum? anneliese: what would actually be a third referendum may well

be necessary if there is a political impasse that cannot be broken. we have not seen this government listening to other people in parliament or other businesses outside of parliament. francine: what kind of extension -- this seems to be the way we are going -- would labour support? and to what end? anneliese: we really need to know, if there is going to be an extension, that that would have to be tied to concrete action by the government in particular for commitment to listen to the opposition and business and others, and set out a timetable for doing that. optimalon is sub because it elections are coming up. other reasons mean that any extension will cause continued uncertainty for businesses. union,e: in the customs

why go through with brexit at all? anneliese: when i was knocking on doors during the referendum and a lot of people who voted to leave said they would be happy to remain within the customs union. leaving one is you get extra bureaucracy and paperwork. francine: why would someone have voted for brexit if they want to stay in the customs union? anneliese: they were talking about issues of political control around areas that are not related to customs. people i speak to are happy about having facilitated trade with the rest of the e.u.. it happens to be the more political aspects they are not happy with so having a customs union is a sensible way forward. francine: how do you see it running out? if you were to bet on something out?panning

if you were to bet on something? anneliese: it would be foolish for me to make a decision -- prediction. our government is prepared for the eventuality. it is likely we will have an extension for round three months. we need to make sure we have mitigating measures. francine: our business is prepared? they are not. anneliese: many are not. larger ones are, smaller ones are not. haute --need to have a code for trading with the rest of the european union. francine: a lot of small businesses tell us they are not sure what to do if they stockpile and do they lose money? anneliese: all of this is being created, untold costs for

business in terms of stockpiling and drank to create potentially new systems. many have been waiting to see and it has been deeply irresponsible of the government running down the clock for two years, not setting out that meaningful vote until now. you had one that failed and a long time to wait until the second. this should have started out much earlier. francine: the government was hoping it would focus people's minds if it was closer to the deadline. anneliese: it is brinksmanship. francine: coming up a little bit speak tobloomberg, we the chair of the u.k. house of commons treasury committee at 10:00 a.m. in new york, 2:00 p.m. in london. it will be interesting to have her opinion on what happens to the tory party. this is bloomberg. ♪
