the other announcement was about the long-term system care and policy recommendations that the council has been working on the last few months. executive director sherreen had a discussion, and it actually came back around at yesterday's meeting for priorities. so you'll just have to wait till next month, like the cliff hangers of old, to find out what those priorities were. we had two very weighty reservations. one was from the mayor's office of housing and urban development, their analysis of impediments to fair housing, and the hiv housing plan. and that overview really provided sort of high level about the issues, the timelines for the plan's development, and particularly focus on issues from the perspective of long-term care. again, that powerpoint presentation is also on the l.t.c.s website, which is ltcsf.org. the mayor's office of housing and urban development stated they'd like to partner and come back in either june or july to provide an update. the second sort of weighty presentation was a result of all the hard work from the assisted living work group, and the highlights of

yes, it is good in the short term, but whether it will actually work for them in the long term is yet to be seen. amanda: one interest part of the analysis is who benefits if the trade is divergent. we are talking about a slowdown in europe. seems to be having an effect on markets. european firms could be a beneficiary of china-u.s. tariff s? >> precisely. the divergent will be most beneficial to european firms. over 70 billion is what we calculated. it will be in the areas of chemicals, vegetable products, equipment, machinery. frankly, the biggest one will be in machinery, almost 20 billion. of course, agriculture will be affected. the european countries will do well. what is more important is to look at the impact on the international trading system itself, however. even though some regions may benefit, in the long term, the can theon in tariffs two more prohibitive tariffs from other countries and then we are into a full-scale global tariff war. what is important is to see if we can strengthen the multilateral trading system again. amanda: great to have you with us. ahead, movie m

we will lose that in the long term if we don't get the trade deal with the eu and these non—eu trade are a part of that. but there are some arguing there are clearly problems with theresa may plasma current deal. most notably, the controversy over the backstop. maybe the cbi should be advocating at least an extension to article 50 in order to iron these out. the deal is not set, but businesses are running out of patience. i talk to businesses all the time about investment deals that have been postponed and cancelled, day after day. we are seeing more of this being put on pause and investment not coming to the uk or creating jobs. i spoke to one firm that said this week there will be laying the concrete for any factory in northern ireland were it not for brexit. businesses are spending real money on contingency plans getting ready for no deal. on that day off after brexit, some of those plans mean prices rising, it may even mean lay—offs in some companies, really serious consequences if we don't move on and time. politicians need to make progress. they need to sort out their differenc

why the chipmaker hired from within and will it be the right call in the long-term? first to our top story. facebook goes on the offense. they reported revenues of blowing passed analyst expectations. if the recent deluge of scandals is hurting anything, it is not the numbers. but they still have a tough road ahead to when that trust. i spoke to sheryl sandberg on monday after posting results. we began the conversation folk sing -- focusing on performance. >> we had a strong quarter, the end to an important, challenging

it right or he's doing it wrong and then there are certain procedures that are done again for the long term health and well being of the animals so they are the narrative that they place with those undercover videos is not really what's happening i mean might see it and what is happening you see what's happening but in some of those cases it's done and those are the prescribed scientific that nearing approved recommended practices that are done on farms for again the long term health and well being of the animals are going to dental implant coming up as a general to understand and i would want to see video of it but couldn't there be humane and there's a step impose their. way yes there are no approved in particular like with piglets there are no approved and no g.'s dix that are are are approved by f.d.a. and it would have to be approved by f.d.a. so there are reasons why we don't use certain analgesics when there are procedures that are done and again those procedures are done for the long term health and well being of the animals eventually donate now button underneath the scary video an

the case with amazon and alphabet soon, too. don't be distracted by short-term problems. they can vanish overnight like we saw with the winners. focus on the long-term, and the next time one of the terrific stocks sells off, then you know it's time to buy not sell rick in arizona, rick. >> hawai, jim, and thanks for taking my call. >> of course >> i'm thinking of something unholy in the cell phone chip sector, and i'm hoping you can provide a more intelligent explanation. the phone chip suppliers have heard the garuidance and are living the results of apple's last quarter, for sky work solution, is there enough internet of things, and other non-phone devices out there to support sky works current uptrend from the mid november lows >> first, it's a great question, rick, and i would tell you why sky works is going up, is not what you think sky works is going up because it's a great 5 g play and people feel the weakness is in the stock. and that's why people on it does seem to come down enough that you can certainly buy the stock and then buy some more if it goes lower let's go to joe in michigan, please, joe. >> booyah, jim. >> i'm a senior in co

all of those residuals of his connections ends up in the long term benefiting his institution which ultimately would benefit african-americans in the state of north carolina. >> i'm intrigued because you said the republican party, so what does that tell you about the state of the republican party during the turn of the century and where the democrats were during that time period? >> at that time, the republican party was the more liberal party in the nation. and the democratic party was the more conservative branch, so he stayed with the republican party throughout his life, throughout his time, up until his death in 1947. he was a very staunch supporter of the republican party in the era. ironically, on the national level. on the local level, many of the individuals who supported his institution were democrats. state supported democrats, state legislators. also supported his institution, so he was a very shrewd, keen politician in his way of navigating the political arena. >> explain the formation of north carolina college. >> so, it started out, he actually starts in 1909, but it's not incor

long-term shareholder value creation. that is our dna. whenever you speed up theterm, somewhere you also say to the long-term shareholder value creation, but it should be value creation for all stakeholders. that is how we have phrased this in creating share value, value for the shareholders and stakeholders. supply linked with the chain and our employees, where we are in the world. producing good nutritional products, that is carried into the future. francine: that is lovely, but don't shareholders just want returns or dividends? paul: they want it today or tomorrow. in five years time, 10 years time, and if you are thinking time framing you get to sustainability. that serves the shareholder. it is not a contradiction to say, let's beware of the shareholder and the value creation by him, and be aware also of being a positive force in society. i do not see any contradiction. let me give an example. country with ae factory and we have some male farmers around. -- mill farmers around. receivethis factory to the best quality ingredients with consistency over time. i

potentially at the fact that the low—cost airlines we have become so addicted to make not be viable in the long—termed to make not be viable in the long-term? i think budget airlines on the scale of ryanair and easyj et airlines on the scale of ryanair and easyjet will always be here, unless they merge with somebody else, it is they merge with somebody else, it is they have proven that if you have scale you are going to do very well indeed. bear in mind that if you go back 30 years, ryanair was a tiny struggling regional airline, until it decided to halve its fares and cut its cost and now it is the european giant. but the smaller airlines are always vulnerable, not least because if you are a regional airline, you build up a route between a and b and it has a decent market, immediately, one of the bigger airlines will move in with bigger airlines will move in with bigger planes, lower fares, bigger airlines will move in with bigger planes, lowerfares, and steal a ll bigger planes, lowerfares, and steal all the passengers. it is a really tough time out there, and this winter has been particularly pai

and essentially the result of [indiscernible]and how long it will last, i do not know. mentioned the long-termhe long term for the united states involves very large budget deficits. when you were in office, you would talk about the fact that budget deficits are a danger, we could see crowding out. since then, we have massively larger deficits, but we do not see interest rates move. have we discovered something different about the way deficits affect the economy or the appetite for u.s. treasury's? michael: it is a very interesting question. where it shows up specifically ofin slowdown and turnover capital stock. we do not know why it has happened -- at least i do not know why it has happened. velocity is a very critical statistic. it is not always easy to determine why it changed as it did, but what is happening now is it is changed. getting a considerable amount of potential inflationary -- i was about to -- we are running into what historically would be a stagnation where we would have -- risemployment and inflation rise. we have a system now which is really difficult to tie into historical

if we change the hormone environment, we have to think about long—term changes in how the brain is able the drugs are stopped, but professor evans can't be sure how significant the changes he observed in sheep are. so fully reversible — we are not sure? we don't know, there are a variety of different reasons why these treatments are acceptable at this point in time, but we don't know what is going to happen, so it is in some ways a live experiment. the tavistock centre agrees there should be more research but say they also have to manage risks. there are questions around risk, but there is a reason why people have even begun to think about using something like a puberty blocker in young children, and so what you have is a real phenomenon, and that phenomenon is young people who are hugely distressed around their gender identity, and so some of the evidence that is important is that young people and families who have gone forward for this treatment are exceedingly positive about it. over the past five years, the number of children referred to the tavistock centre has risen from 468 to 25

a year or a year and a half, you don't really have the incentive to try to improve things over the long-termy: tell us more about what apple is saying about the story. joshua: apple has set a couple of things. as you said, they said they would talk to apex about how the job was presented. specifically, some practices around hiring and dismissal. they also made the point that they are not aware of some of the specifics of the complaints about the management and conditions. apex is a contractor, which means they are in charge of their employees. it is apple's stance that since there may have been some things that happen, it is not on us, that could happen to anybody. emily: joshua, great reporting their, good story to check out. both uber and lyft have received initial feedback about their confidential ipo filings. the move by the regulator puts the ball back in the company's court to submit new draft for review. each had been impacted during the partial u.s. government shutdown. what do we know about this feedback from the sec? >> we know the ball is in the court of uber and lift. it's going

s. biz in its own back in its own hemisphere -- although in the long term and then there's also have to consider the fact if they were to lose van as well as a chip. it in no way can pass in terms of strategic importance were you looking at ukraine assyria then if you look at the broader neighborhood china has clearly relationships import relationships in the region beyond that as well. its number one trading partner of brazil's number one trading partner of argentina and that's key economic relationships at all the nato nations of the region on the other hand of russia to as far more limited in terms of its relationship with the other region. and if you look at the broader geopolitical realities of love latin america you look at since the end of the cold war most states of the of the western hemisphere with the exceptions of it as well -- and cuban increasingly nicaragua most of the states of democracies -- china mean china doesn't it that looks and its long term interest and it's looking mostly in terms of economics most of those states that a democratic states really rejects. russi

the johnis it time for government to loosen its pocketbooks? a long-term been a case that germany should spend more largely to help its neighbors out, help the brea down germany's external about 8% of gdp in germany. another is a domestic case for stimulus as well. germany's own economy is slowing, it was actually one of the weaker euro area economies in the industrial production server and in a gdp numbers, which were slightly negative. q4 was only slightly positive. so there is a domestic as well as external case for fiscal expansion. caroline: let some would counter that what germany has done up to this point has been relatively good for their economy, despite some of the issues they have had in the last six or seven months. is there an argument to be late but keeping these twin surplus is going or list not getting in the way of them would be prudent in the long-term, and that maybe the short-term pain is worth it? brad: i think there is a long-term argument that germany naturally will run, because of aging, in modest current account surplus. i don't th

the long—term climate projections say... office, researchers have been tracking global temperatures, and their new forecast suggests we could be in the middle of the warmest decade since records began. this is worrying because this is a new level of temperature extreme, and the regional impacts of that are likely to be unprecedented in some regions. so we are likely to see things that we have not seen in over the 100 years of observational records. a temperature rise of 1.5 celsius above pre—industrial levels is set as a threshold by un scientists. anything more could lead to dangerous global impacts. have a look at this graph. the red area shows the predictions the met office has made over the years, and the black lines show the actual temperatures they recorded. there's a close match. the last four years were the hottest on record. this blue area is their forecast for the next five years. it suggests the warming trend will continue, with a small chance temperatures could temporarily exceed 1.5 degrees. the main driver for

interest in the long term interests of the venezuelan military and in the long term interest of course of the people of venezuela feel gunston in caracas is if in israel is failing is it failing because of socialism or despite socialism. well i suppose it depends how you define socialism which is a word that means different things to different people in this country is failing for a lot of reasons but most of them have to do with the concentration of power. the elimination of all sorts of checks and balances and therefore rampant impunity which leads to corruption of a scale which is really mind boggling we're talking about hundreds of billions of dollars that have been stolen from the national exchequer since since chad as originally came to power back in one thousand nine hundred ninety but also under the uk corruption the installation of an economic policy which i don't know if you want to call it socialism but certainly in bonn old. taking into state control busways of the economy which of their four as a direct result become completely inoperable and u

they have done nothing to address these significant problems and we think over the long-term, in fact a bigger source of risk than not. so we're particularly positive, you're right, on the u.s and we're particularly concerned about emerging markets and even though the u.s. is much more expensive than emerging markets and other developed economies, our recommendations is don't look at that valuation as an indication of going overweight in any of those regions. >> well, thank you so much for joining us here today at post nine sharmin mossavar-rahmani >> next, more from our exclusive interview with spotify ceo daniel eck is next stay with us >>> i'm scott wapner here's what's coming up on the "halftime report" at the top of the hour we're debating whether the tech takeoff is sustainable and where you should be putting your money to work in that sector and a possible stock on the desk is our subject of the call of the day today. and we've got unusual activity with both john and pete. it means we'll see you at noon on the half. john, we're about 20 away. we'll see you in just a bit. >> we'

the way. part and parcel of being a long-term investor. s the reason that someone they arey that long-term investors but they turnover, and their portfolios tell you a different story. you have to have resilience. and then you have to be prepared to be out of sync with the markets for periods of time. that is absolutely crucial if you are one to generate a long-term capital returns that the west sees. guy: we have all hold thanh of ipo's coming up in the tech space. nterestyft< -- lyft, pi -- all of these kinds of companies are coming to market. what do you make of them and could you see yourself making space for them? tom: yeah. -- what is interesting about the way you is that they come out of this sort of landscape. that is an interesting way to phrase it because the common link between these companies is not technology, they are companies that are using are crossed desperate areas, and each one has a separate set of risks and rewards. we havetried to do, invested and a number of them as private companies to really understand the story an

. >> the metal plates are a short- term repair and over the weekend we will assess this more to figure out the long- term plan for the long-term fixes for the bridge. >> reporter: caltrans is put in an emergency order to get a contractor here very quickly over the weekend for a permanent fix. again, all lanes are back open on the richmond san rafael bridge. back to you. >> if anything changes, of course we will keep you updated. there are some alternates the plan ahead because that is a tough commute across the bay from the east bay into san francisco. if there are closures of the weekend for repairs you will have to use these alternates. here is 37 at 121 with traffic moving nicely. westbound 37 is a great alternate from the east bay into marin county. here's vallejo two novato and westbound 37 currently in the grain with no delays. if you want to get on the 101 into san francisco that is also a great choice and especially commuting over into the sunset district or richmond area of san francisco. the ferry services is also an option so keep that in mind with the richmond-san francisco ferry servic

you have concerns over the impact long-term over the north american long-term as a competitive layer in the global market place -- marketplace as in laura -- europe? laura -- europe? >> absolutely. the auto industry is one of the most important industries in terms of jobs and revenue. to the extent we are isolated, we are weaker. >> we have gone back to manage trade and went in europe, where it is going to affect sales is fastest, meaning korea, india, china. that is where we need to be competitive and are shooting ourselves in the foot. >> yes. in theof the hold up u.s. -- holdups in the u.s., the democrats on the hill. will democrats vote for msn pa -- msnca? >> i do not believe free-trade has had a huge number of negative consequences, certainly has in some areas. she is not wrong. i in michigan have lost jobs but free-trade has lifted a billion people out of poverty. it has made us better neighbors. the value of treat--free-trade is extraordinary. river ridge is one of the largest plants in the world. that would have produced in the 50's is the heyday of the automobile industry. t

where's the long-term damage to corporate america? it doesn't exist >> the major threat right now to corporate america is from middle class collapsing and workers being terrified. we have rising authoritarianism. i think we need to look at the real crisis. the opioid >> let's talk about the -- >> the opioid crisis >> on that point about whether companies are investing, what does the research show >> the the research shows that business investment is at historically high levels the research shows that public companies, the kinds of companies really under threat from these evil shareholders actually invest more than private companies who are not under threat in their shareholders a great federal reserve study out august that said this. listen, i've taken a long look at this issue over the years i thought there might be something to it. as the evidence comes out, year after year, there just isn't >> andy, you could also say you could cite many of the evils of the country and have a source very different than corporate buybacks >> i'm not

the case. you can even see iron or hit $110 a ton a quarter. how much of that will be a long-termsus short-term impact, in that the damage could happen anywhere to any company? rt: in terms of the iron ore price, maybe we had a bit of a knee-jerk reaction. you saw the 40 million tons number, 10% of overall production, seems like a big shortfall to make up but lots of analysts are only seeing a 10 million ton reduction in total supplies in the market. over time, we might see things settle down a little. alix: what does this mean for other offshoots of iron ore? you also have lower quality ore. like 58%. pellet prices. how does this affect the ripple effect for prices in the market? rt: vale will be reducing the production of lower grade iron ore. i would assume the price premium for high-grade iron or would continue robust. maybe we will see a little bit of a recovery for the lower grades. they are pulling off about 11 million tons of pellet feed. that could influence the price and also increase. alix: what does this mean for the steel companies? iron ore is an input to make steel.

but broadly, you know, the long-term drivers of employment growth have peaked and are tailing lore, theber one input being profit growth. as we go into 2019, the forecast is from 24% growth last year to around 6%, i think is the current estimate -- maria: in terms of profit. >> in terms of profit growth. and, obviously, profit growth is a key input into the decision of ceos as to whether to hire and expand. maria: yeah. >> so as that profit growth slows, employment growth generally follows. the second factor that's kind of conspiring to depress employment activity going forward is the tightening of credit spreads, you know, the corporate bond market started to tighten up in the fourth quarter of last year. and while it's rallied back alongside the stock market, you know, since december 24th, spreads are still well above where they were a year ago. so borrowing costs are going up. that's another constraint on the capacity to expand hiring and pay more wages. so those two forces, profit and the tightening of credit conditions, i think, will depress employment growth going forward. maria:

. >> i'm really referring to the long-term growth of the debt, the national debt is going to increase by another $12 or $13 trillion over the next 10 years, and over the next 40 or 50 years, much larger than that, the long-term growth of spending, driven by social security, medicare, medicaid and interest on the debt, that is what i'm talking about, and several factors, obamacare spending added a lot of new debt to the economy, you have these budget deals that have passed, that have added more debt, there's a lot going on there. >> do you think a debt limit is a good thing? >> i think it is better than -- i don't know if it is the ultimate solution, these people who have talked about getting rid of the debt limit totally, it's kind of a we have already with the suspension, it is basically null and void, that is not helping the problem. >> what do you see the concern that it creates a manufactured crisis, and a fiscal cliff? >> you could argue that, and a lot of other stuff gets lumped into these debt limit deals, that is problematic as well, but one of the few times where we actually

above 1100, but the long term technicals suggest that could be a brief bounce for e.m.. investors probably want to treat this with care. they're suggesting there is a dovish interpretation around the fed, but some store might be ahead to take this e.m. equity index down. perhaps what emma was talking about in the all world index. caroline: abigail in the markets can, thank you. let's stick on that theme. we go back to quincy and mike regan. quincy, is e.m. the place to be? quincy: it is. it was contrary and some time ago and is now consensus. however, the u.s. dollar has played a huge role in emerging markets. the stronger the u.s. dollar, the instinctive reaction is get out of e.m. china is very important for the underpinning of the emerging markets, but the sense that china pushing and more stimulus, whether it is monetary or fiscal , or whether they need to swap ,rrangements with the fangs pushing credit into the market is very good for emerging markets. riseu see the u.s. dollar in a substantial way, emerging markets are going to pull back. whether it is the out rhyth

one, on the negative side, the tariffs our government has put in place are in the long-term, and maybey economist background speaking a little bit more, they are ruinous for our economy. they are ruinous for the global economy. and even when i look at our micro little world in silicon valley, when we think about prices going up, both for direct goods and the supplied goods, the components effectively, these are unnecessary price changes that the only beneficiary of that is, frankly, nobody who needs to have that money. i do believe the tariffs put in place are anti-capitalism, and will in the long-term negatively affect gdp around the world. emily: i wonder if some of these companies have also shot themselves in the foot. if you look at a company like facebook, is the damage self-inflicted? >> i think the consumer response or sentiment around facebook, i guess one opportunity is it creates windows for new startups. because if there is a startup that will promise certain things around privacy or your data and you can share, and we have learned a lot about social media in the past five o

the ones ongoing. i would suggest that it's irresponsible if we are unable to fund long-term projects with long-term money. we have a $10 billion backlog in tennessee alone for the central projects and if we don't have a highway bill passed by this fall that gives us clear line of sight for funding in two years, three years, four years, five years these projects will be put on hold and the back log becomes worse and the funding clears up. >> i would echo that. our customers make huge investments and equipment to do their projects. they need to understand they have a long-term funding source. it's not something you turn a light swift on and off and stop the work. labor forces, you have the equipment side of it. you need to understand how long you're going to have the funding and better planning. the other is we run a manufacturing facility in pennsylvania and our supply base is there and they rely on the transportation network and this infrastructure. we're right down in the corridor, very busy, an we miss the deadlines of getting parts into our organization, we don't build product on time and that costs u

the other thing we are looking for in the long-term is the facilities,of industrial facilities that produce the weapons and materiel. and in the long run we are going to have to find a way to redirect the expertise of the north korean engineers and scientists who have been involved in these programs so they don't take their skills and sell them to third countries. and is a very long actually more detail than that list of things we are looking for. but one problem we have with this negotiation is the united states and north korea do not have a great definition of what denuclearization means. we think about it as disarming north korea. the north koreans think of it as making sure there are no nuclear threat to north korea, and they do not have nuclear weapons. their interest, as i said, is making sure the united states is not preparing or does not have strike assets, whether nuclear or nonnuclear, that could hit north korea. so the definition of negotiation thisbit vague in negotiation. as steve has said, they will know it when they see it and have to work forward when these move on. tests ov
