the ground is unsteady. and the issue of after shocks. more than 460 hitting since term earthquake took place on wednesday. a very power first of all aftershock this morning at about 5:00 a.m. local time felt as far away as in rome. if you look behind me you see the remains of one of the homes here now reduced effectively to a mountain of dust and stone. the only thing left standing is essentially the doorway. that is basically what much of this town looks like. it was an historic center full of ancient stone structures that withstood the test of time for centuries now reduced to piles and piles of rubble. the big priority here for this town right now is the essential figure out who is alive, who is dead. and get to those who may still be missing. one of the reasons the numbers have been going up and down in terms of causalities and wounded. we don't have a clear picture of the wounded because this is the height of tourist season. a lot of folks from out of town moving in and out to the region.

it takes time to contact those families to figure out who might be here. who is still missing. another issue, of course, is faenls from rome, venice, other italian cities are coming here to escape the heat. they were here vacationing with their young children before the start of school in september and that is why the death tolls, the missing tolls are so much higher than they would have been in the middle of the year. that's also why so many of the victims are children. there's going to be a lot of very difficult questions for italian authorities in the aftermath of all of this. this is a noun fault line area we're standing in between. essentially ab area where tech tonic plates meat. where the structures were not reinforced by authorities is going to be a top question of the devastated residents are going to be asking from their officials. for now the search, the focus, the priority trying to get to anyone who might be trapped beneath the rubble. >> thank you for the update. lucy reporting live from italy

watch. first sales, watch the message sales in particular and any indication of spending in the u.s. faces continued pressure abroad, specifically in europe. in the wake of tourists attacks. take a look at the stock. shares down 9.5. underperforming the broader market second commodities. gross margins should benefit. probably to offset weak nts in sales. the third thing you want to watch is outlook affects macro concerns. could prompt management to lower guidance. more effective marketing as tiffany aims to return to positive same store growth. >> joining us on the phone on what to expect, dana telsey.

ceo. that's what they sell to. what are you expecting to hear? what could be the big thing you're looking for out of these results. >> exactly what landon said. people are going to want to hear about saelles. we saw challenging winds and many of those haven't subsided much. whether it's european travel disrupti disruption, the strength of the dollar impacting tourist spend, hong kong construction and difficult compares against the strengthening yen. fourth quarter, all important quarter, and comparing gets much easier. in addition cfo, they are searching for a new cfo. in mid may the departure of the former cfo was announced. you want to hear if there's a replacement there. they have a procurement strategy

they put in place to help improve cost, quality and certifies. one of the things we've been seeing from companies that have been under performers whether it's a ralph lauren, whether it's guess yesterday. is the fact that they've been able to manage the business and come in a little better than expected, particularly on the x expense line. >> they get hit hard on foreign sales when they have to bring it home to dollars, but here in the u.s. on tourist sales as well. the dollar has been weakening over the last few months. shonts that improve the outlook from the company. >> that's why comparisons are definitely easier. america, tourism accounts for 25% of the america sales. when you think of that new york flag ship. it's just a little bit over 40% of the new york flagship store sales. definitely you need to see pick ups there.

like may si called out international credit card sales down 20% in the fourth quarter, down 12% in the second quarter. you would say a little less worse. >> i've got a question of the end of the income spectrum. is it a better opportunity for investors in a place like tiffany or a place like other side. >> a ton coming into the forefront there. what you want to watch for signet is any progress. what could change given the advisement by goldman sachs their using potential sales. >> thank you so much for that prove. big story to watch. another stock to watch today will be hp. hp aims third quarter profit and revenue beating forecast on a

rebound in demand for notebook pcs. the stock selling off early here. the company's outlook came in below estimates. due to weaker sales of printers as businesses kcut costs. pay attention to mylan this morning. hillary clinton calling on the pharmaceutical company to voluntarily drop the price of the epipen drug. the firm has been under scrutiny by headaching the price of the allergy treatment. we're going to get a lot more insight how the ceo will handle the controversy because heather bresch will be joining cnbc. one you don't want to miss. >> it's wrong when drug companies put profits ahead of patients. that's all the market needed to hear. >>. time for top trending stories of the morning. dom, you hinted at this.

your toughest stuck-on food... so let your dishwasher be the dishwasher. this turned out great. cascade. today's must reads. my pick is from the wall street journal. it's titled the federal reserve needs new thinking.

citizens are rightly concerned about the concentration of economic power at the central bank long after the financial crisis, the fed holds trillions of dollars of assets that would otherwise be in private hands and appears to make monetary policy with the purpose of managing asset prices including bolstering the price of companies. it's models are unreliable it says. the policies are erratic and guidance confusing. also politically volatile. a big voice, was at one point a goempb at the board of directors at the federal reserve. youngest guy ever to be in that role. >> he's been on cnbc many times. >> always interesting and notable when you have a krcritie from a former insider. my pick is usa today. take a hard look at the message.

it's something you wouldn't expect. republican state representative from colorado writing here are more hispanics living in poverty after eight failed years of obama. i know pmr. trump wants somethig different than that for all americans. can't change a failed record or inability toll be trusted. it's time to get over the delivery and take a hard look at the message, and, i believe, the american voters are doing just that. this counters the narrative in the media that he's not appealing to hispanic and to african-american voters even though he tried to pifrt and do so. you're not seeing a big presence at the rally because i picked it out because it's surprising. >> it seems a message about targeting minority. >> his message of what do you have to lose, whether that's resinating or not. >> we are approaching the top of

the howevur. team is getting ready for "squawk box." joe kernen joins us. you do have a big interview we're looking forward to, joe. mylan. >> oh, that one. i i hate to call that water cooler talk, but certainly -- oh, i didn't know -- i see that. i was unaware we were able to talk about that the until 8:00 a.m., but there it is. she will be on. also daughter of senator mansion which is kind of interesting. i had some thoughts you guys about, you know, this article i saw. i haven't head it yet. it was on the front page of the "new york times." the dire picture that trump has painted of black america leaves many voters angry or dumbfounded. >> i saw that. >> it's a little weird. it seems like there are times we do get a little bit sad about the progress we're making in

certain inner cities. we things happening in chicago, we see violence, schools not delivering for urban kids. as soon as you mention it, it's like why are you saying this. it's a dark view you have. i can't decide. are there things that need to be improved? can you talk about it bluntly and say a lot of policies haven't been working and we want to try something different or it's not necessary? they're angry because it's not dark and not anything that needs any attention. you just can't win. >> it comes back to the question of political correctness. >> i think it might. it's that time of year i start getting butterflies and i feel something bad coming and i realizest going back to school. >> i always liked going back to school. >> i don't want to be sexist,

but i was always, oh, no, that three months went so fast. with the market, i can't tell whether it's the dog days of august where people are saying wow, we trade with algorithms and wait days for the light to go off for something to do. i can't tell whether that's the dog days of august or whether we're anesthetized by central banks around the world. are things not happening because normal things aren't moving because of the money sloshing around. i don't know. did you ever go to the dentist where you're anesthetized and you're sitting there like wow, i think that would have hurt, and wow wake up and you're like what did he do? he hacked around my mouth. you don't feel it while you're sitting there. i don't know what happens when this. a lot of people say there's a storm coming because it's so quiet. weal see. usually things change a bit. vvr done that?

>> i would say, yeah. i think the pain for me always came a few hours later. >> it does. the guys in there and it's like -- he's a good dentist. well, that seems like it would have hurt. oh, my god. i think the market is similar. it's anesthetized. i don't know where things would really be if we didn't have things like nirp. do you use the word nirp. >> nirp sounds like nurf. >> we've got the perfect best to talk about monetary novocain. we look forward to "squawk box." so thank you. >> really? >> yes. coming up here, the world's top central bankers like joe was talking about, economists are gathering in the shadows of wyoming. fed chair janet yellen will be in the spotlight when she speaks tomorrow. will she drop any hints.
