melissa: from the u.s. to every corner of the globe, money flying around the world today, starting in paris where a bridge popular with lovers has been evacuated after partial collapse. oh, no! starcrossed couples from across the globe have been attaching locks of love to the bridge for years. you've seen this no doubt. the shher weight of them has caused part of railing to fall off. police have cordoned off the bridge, forcing sweethearts to chain their padlocks to other monuments instead. oh, no. over to thailand where football fans staged interspecies world cup. a team of elephants took on human rivals. each painted with a flag representing different nations. the humans are able to use

agility to mount a strong attack. elephants relied on size and trucks to guard the goal. we're still waiting to see who won. a giant sea monster is on the beach. looks suspiciously like richard branson. it was gold flowing locks and t have. branson's media team spent five hours sculpting this monster to celebrate a new internet and package deal. markets snapping a four-day winning streak. mark newton is at the new york stock exchange and andrew keane is at the cme. mark, let me start with you. what has changed today? >> industrials are pulling back. this is one of the strongest groups over the last week this is one of better groups to have been in. starting to see a little bit of improvement in emerging markets also. that is a positive. we're seeing a little bit of a stalling out. equities have been up last 14
2:23 pm
out of 16 days. logical to have a little bit of a pull back. melissa: andrew, temporary thing or the start of something bigger? >> s&p down 1 1/2 points today. they say never short a dull market. this is a very dull market. if you see how much s&p 500 futures moved intraday, up five-point range. average range is 10 to 12 points. volume on any individual equity name, 10% of the average daily volume. very, very light volume. i think there is opportunity out there. i'm not long banks or retail or home improvement stocks but i think there is opportunity in the oil and gas names. melissa: gentlemen, thank you to both of you. a new report that says infants exposed to bacteria and allergens from roaches and rodents are less to suffer from asthma. and new device could make colonoscopy as thing of the past. dr. devi here from the nyu school of medicine.
2:24 pm
let's hit the allergy story. what do you think about this one? >> your immune system supposed to fight dangerous threats or cancer or bacteria or viruses it overreacts when it sees things like that are not dangerous like cockroaches, it attacks the germ or molds or pet dander. it damages your own body in the process. so it can damage your lungs. melissa: what this is, fight back especially people with the first child are hyper serious about purelling every single surface. don't let my child touch anything! this is from the journal, clinical immunology. 41% of the children without allergies grew up in households rich in allergens and bacteria. this contradicts prior research. >> there is something to it. if you're exposed to different allergens maybe your immune system won't have as much of a reaction but we can't go that far yet.
2:25 pm
these are kids growing up in the inter-city. they are exposed to all kinds of pollution, smoke, other type of things. probably needs more research. melissa: add to this new pill camphor the colon. the device wireless transmits video as it travels through the patient's digestive track. the company behind the product seeking fda approval for anyone who doesn't want to have colonoscopy. they would let them take the pill to not go through it again. everyone wants to do this having unpleasant colonoscopy. is it as good? >> i don't think so. we actually tested colonoscopies. they do two things. they find cancers and remove them. the pill cam is not compared exactly to colonoscopy. it will not give you a second look at certain things that might look suspicious. and it might not have as good of a view. so that is one thing. it is pretty amazing for people who are afraid to have colonoscopies, resistant to having colonoscopies. that is another option to them.
