still remain in custody. first i've been update on the business using cabey's back in the studio to kate and i were gonna start at back. google army and that the act of the engineer who wrote this professional men by. said that a few things about gender roles that are not set in on the company policy has now. been fired he hasn't even he has actually already got another job offer a from julianus entre tweeted a that he would be happy to hire this. gentleman in protest at what he called google's censorship of the man in question it says that he is considering legal action against his former firm. and company ceo cinder pitch on his cut short his summer vacation to deal with this brewing crisis. in a letter to staff he said that google encourages different opinions and free expressio. the views outlined in that memo violated the code of conduct and advanced harmful gender stereotypes. manifesto which went viral this weekend suggested among other things that quote biological differences with

the reason for a gender gap in areas like engineering at google. not women account for about a third of the company's total workforce only twenty percent of google's technical positions are filled by women. that's a similar percentage to apple and facebook. now the tech industry has been facing a lot of scrutiny over its treatment of women. last ross kerber of the investment group gerber kawasaki in california whether google had made the right decision. some point. business in america and the world need to address. you know these kind of stereotypes that are being sent out there that really a aren't per se accurate and being. don't promote i think a diverse and impossible workplace you know. yeah the memo itself birch is this idea of of an ideological echo chamber at where dissenting views are discouraged. do think is anything to be said for that in silicon valley. well i think that that you could say that among a lot of places in america not just silicon valley. but i think that. it's the

part of building a company and it's so important to have an inclusive culture for all types of people and with the diversity we have in california here it's actually mind blowing. to me that this stuff is still going on in this day and age and such a litigious society that we have. niggles also facing investigation by the us department of labor up for allegedly paying its female employees less than men. is there any way that all this could actually damage the browned. absolutely i you know let's be real women are probably the most powerful consumers in the world and. and certainly represent half of the people in the world and alienating half the people the world can't be good for your brand in. and you know secondly. you know one cannot. how is a minimize the the importance and power of social media and the way a brand is perceived i talk to people all the time? that won't use super anymore. they just want. and and i get back completely and the last thing you want is your brand on the sort of do not touch less. and that's potentially what google

could be doing i think they've taken the right steps they fired the guy and i think they're taking the right steps to try to repair the reputation. has taken on the day's trading action now the major european indices closed higher this tuesday. docks leading with gains of almost a third. kacak homes a little bit less here in paris. exports from both germany and france declined slightly in june at but that didn't seem to have much impact on the markets. on wallstreet we're seeing another record breaking session for the dow jones heading towards its tenth consecutive session of gains. but it has now stepparent back slightly as you can see there up but it could we still have about an hour of trading to go. up before the closing bell so we could still hit that ten session record. the retail sector in particular doing very well in the united states. that's in part due to american fashion giants which reported higher than expected earnings for the three months from april to june. ralph lauren said that sales had dipped for the eleventh quarter in a row the profits climbed to sixty million dollars. compared with major losses a year
