upheaval in the u.s. tom: the markets really are a separate discussion. just as we went to eric, i could hear not one that just as we went to air, francine, i could but maybene, not two, three sirens. this is on the upper eastside at the edge of harlem at mount sinai hotel. those are sirens of the new york city in protest overnight, including the mayor's daughter being arrested by, according to news reports. it has been an extraordinary 12 hours in washington. francine: and it shook many people to the core. let's get to first word news in new york city with ritika gupta. ritika: there were more violent protests across the u.s. and thousands took to the streets in peaceful demonstrations against police killings of black people. that was overshadowed by

violence from new york to minneapolis to los angeles. in more than 20 cities, several national guard troops have been deployed to help local police. another sign of a trade deal between the u.s. and china is in jeopardy. the u.s. government has halted purchases of some american farm goods. beijing is evaluating the escalation of tensions with the u.s. over hong kong. the u.k. government reportedly is planning an economic stimulus package in july according to the financial times proposal, said to include spending on training and infrastructure. the bank of england has warned the british economy could shrink 25% this quarter. the deepest slump in more than three centuries. areamerican astronauts safely aboard the international space station, as the spacex capital -- spacex capital right after a historic 19 hour voyage. the mission is seen as a

1.2408.h brexit, held off on accepting a bailout due to the block's antitrust demands. joining us now for an exclusive conversation, we are delighted to have margrethe vestager, the european commissione vice president. >> it is a pleasure to be with you. francine: thank you. some fair to say that airlines are getting bailouts while some competitors are not indeed needed. the airline industry is in an .nprecedented crisis, obviously it is needed and it is up to them to decide what support they will give as long as they live up to rules. with ae: what do you do

company such as ryanair? the chief executive says this is inherently anticompetitive and market distorting. is it working distorting? margrethe: of course in the outset, and this is why we also have remedies to try to limit that market distortion. first and foremost, what is given in the first place is liquidity aid. so it is typically loans for the state guarantee. the state gets a fee for putting off that guarantee. of course, the potential for distortion is much bigger and you enter into recapitalization, which is why of course there are .trings attached those strings are much more serious. bonuses are cut for senior management. there is no share buyback program. and of course the potential distortions with competition as such in the markets will have to be dealt with. tom: good morning from new york.

now is the power structure in all of this between brussels and each individual nation? who is calling the shots? i'm afraid that is still all in the hands of the coronavirus. the lockdownts of on our economy. this is a crisis that comes from the outside, and i think everyone is trying to do their dualt while preserving the of the european union, the single markets that will allow businesses to recover once this crisis healthwise is over. how do you perceive that businesses will pay back the bailouts, the loans, however you want to phrase it? what is the vision that you have , how they will pay these huge

billion dollar loans back over the years? know more i don't than anyone else how the airline industry will develop. i think we will see a lot of innovation in that industry, in order to get people back to flying but also to green that entire industry. and obviously they will come into the recovery with debts. this is why recapitalization comes into the picture, and that obviously will strengthen some companies when they have substantial capital. this is why we need to introduce the distortiono of competition. in the lufthansa case, slots are being made available in frankfurt and munich. francine: should be live tented steel be seen as a guidepost for

that should the lufthansa deal be seen -- should the lufthansa deal be seen as a guidepost? margrethe: that goes without saying because we have an obligation of equal treatment, of course. the lufthansa case is the first case of recapitalization. if a casetification is more than 250 million euros, in order to look into whether or not competition is distorted if it is a company with market power. and in the lufthansa case, we are indeed talking about a company with a significant market footprint. so this sets a precedent for recapitalization also in other cases. francine: but is the lufthansa state aid a done deal, or do you still need to agree on other things with the german government? margrethe: no, we have agreed both on the financial side, sort of the terms and conditions for the state stepping in with capital. in total, loans and capital

together are 9 billion euros. tohave given -- for them move on and we now we will go through the formality of unification. thatine: can i make sure we won hundred percent understand exactly, for example, the implications for state for france andn the netherlands? for thee: well, airlines that you just mentioned, that is a different degree compared to lufthansa because what they get is liquidity. it is lending that will have to come back, debt upon debt. but if they come back, recapitalization, of course, they will be in the same category as lufthansa has been. francine: i look at all of --

tom: i look at all of this, and of course i am a foreigner here. i want to make clear that i am sort of baffled by it all. what is the vision that you have of what you would like these big companies to do? there has been a battle about management and labor really across all of europe. vestagerhe margrethe vision of what you would like to see of the big companies forward? margrethe: well, i do not think a leaver me to plan or the airline industry, but it is us -- it is up to us to make sure that the framework is still a framework that caters for fair competition. the first and most important thing is of course the viable businesses with a healthy business structure, good management, all of that, that they of course survive this crisis, which is unprecedented, and basically it is a virus that so to not engineer,

speak. but the second thing is that once this -- once businesses survive and become back to some new form of normality, then we need competition to come back as well. because when a business is challenged, they do their best. they produce better services, more affordable prices, more innovation. and that is important in the airline industry. we heard from angela merkel and and manual -- and emmanuel macron, that they want to foster -- do the rules of the european commission change -- need to change for that to be allowed? and should they change? margrethe: well, we do have quite a number of european champions. you will think of lufthansa as one of those champions. what is the most important in

creating champions is of course that the single market works because here we see if we can make the single market work, then european businesses have a home market that can match that of the u.s., and to some degree that of china. having a home market that is united and single, that is the most important thing for businesses to try. the second thing is of course if you want to survive in a global marketplace, where the waves are difficult to maneuver, then you need to be used to that. this is of course why businesses in europe will still be challenged and not be left with a single market all to themselves. we can do those things at the same time. we have had amazing mergers when it comes to cementing their commitments. leading companies but still challenged in their home market. that keeps them on their toes. francine: commissioner, do you think there should be more

leeway? i understand the premise of exactly what you said, but will there be a little more flexible it in building champions? -- will there be a little more flexibility in building champions? margrethe: i think the best example is the extraordinary creation of airbus, which was created many years ago, but the point of that was that this was a procompetitive merger, because indeed, otherwise there would only have been one major airline businessand a giant being created in order for competition to come back in the market for the building of theirnes, aircraft in all different shapes that they come in. so you can imagine mergers and outflow competitive's in their very nature. when you look at rules, and we look right now at the rules, antitrust rules and merger rules, and it is of course that

they have a physical presence. we are entering into an era where not only native digital companies are dominated by technology, but also the old-school sectors will be more and more digital. so it is very important for us to make sure that we stay on target on the fundamentals that businesses should be challenged, that consumers and customers should be served. but of course that we can move as fast as the markets. because that is an everlasting challenge for a law enforcer, that there is an asymmetry between legal behavior being perpetrated and the law enforcer being able to being investigated is proving to be true. also to punish it. in that, of course, we are looking at how do our laws work. and the second thing is that we want to be able to take proper note of the markets.

as long as the customer can turn to someone else, you have not reached the border of the market. we see that already in the last i think 10 years. the number of markets that are either yay wide or indeed global has risen from just about half the markets to about 65%. so we see the changes in the markets. we also need to serve our fundamental mandate, which is to make sure that businesses are met with the competition in order to do their best. what would you do with alitalia? under what conditions with the government inject money into this company that was bankrupt before the pandemic? indeed a veryt is special case. alitalia was an difficulty already before the corona crisis broke out, so that is a very

significant case and we are in contract with the telling authorities of this case. francine: thank you so much for joining us. margrethe vestager there, european commissioner -- european commission executive vice president. tom? tom: thank you so much. we will be back. this is bloomberg. ♪

joining us to talk about as always, thanks for giving us your time. what markets are doing, huge unrest in the u.s., a lot going on with the easing of the lockdown and a potential second wave of the virus. there's also a huge job losses across the world. why are equities still up? people have seen the real economic activity has started to grow in some places. there is's patchy but been asked by policymakers to ensure a safety net. could be too much too soon in terms of risk appetite but i think that's what striven higher. -- what has driven higher. i wouldn't expect a sharp correction but we do think

markets are ahead of themselves and they are due for a pause, if not a correction of some kind. caseentioned the infection with the second wave, there may remindsthere, the markets the opening growth won't be as smooth straight line. determinationour of doubt how companies can adapt to all this? in investment and finance and economics as well. jobs report on ecb decision, etc.. how malleable are corporate plans right now? are we underestimating how we -- how they can adjust? rick: when you look at things top down, the potential for the economy to grow, you look at individual and their doubt and i think we will see the

acceleration of adaptation the way staff are treated, the way they embrace technology. will be -- practices quickly. that may drive productivity. a lot is hanging on that. --you look at the headwinds of the lockdown, they are pretty severe. history tells you people adapt pretty successfully. treat the euro strength everyone was talking about over to the equity markets? are they linked or are they separate events? rick: same thing. appetite --in risk resurgence in risk appetite caused people to be more comfortable with taking risks. that creeps into different asset

classes. stepping back from that, there enduring andl be great risk for the economy as it emerges more indebted. well -- on the upside still. do, ise: what do you there more value to european bonds if the ecb works on making no -- comparing to u.s. treasuries? the periphery may have gone as far as it can go for a while. from a policy perspective, number of these red lines are

certainly made thinner and i think that's very successful to europe. if europe can get through this pandemic with a greater sense of eliminating some of the fragility's of the system then i think it will have a brighter future. i think that's played out already the performa relatively. as you say the periphery bond markets. value ifyou see more you look at europe compared to asia, where do you see value reaching? value, it hasas value and risk and the pairing we've had for quite some time where's the u.s. is extensive but a little bit less risky. particular in asia and china has a lot of potential.

it's ironic in a world decoupling the opportunity but there is this potential decoupling on the i.t. front there are businesses in china on the periphery that have very strong potential from a 19 innovation perspective and they harder by this decoupling. it's june 1, i would say huge number of people are thunderstruck on the migration fact -- vectors to that june beckoning as well. what your enthusiasm for equity after the move we've seen? is all -- has all the easy money been made. returnasm for total stocks? rick: short-term we pulled back on equities we are underweight
