. >> ann taylor is from doctors without borders. i asked her about challenges facing aid workers. >> there are a number of operation centres here. i'm working with paris. we have been trying to go to tacloban. we have a team there. we have freight coming and we have a hospital - inflatable - surgical hospital arriving here tonight in the airport that we wish to move in the next - the next 24 hours to tacloban. >> others from doctors without borders said that the situation in eastern samma is bleak, the public hospital has been destroyed. how do you deal with a situation like that? >> as i said, we are taking in a full system - a full hospital system that can do everything. we have to get it there to be working. as i said, it's arriving tonight. there are other - there's certain - i know once the main hospital there is no longer functional. there's a certain amount going on, not a great deal. there's a bit of support from the military self-defence force, but we want to get our hospital up and running. >> and what are the people there

other stores like old navy and ann taylor, they had 50% off discounts on every time in their stores. this holiday season is six days less than last year so shoppers have limited time and stores have limited time for sales so they're trying to get as many people in here as possible very busy from 10:00 p.m. last night to 2:00 a.m. died down a touch, but people catching their zs expected to be back at 6:00 a.m. you're taking a live look from the mall corridor here. i can see there is a lot of travel and shopping. we will talk to some customers and we will be back to you live around 5:30 asking with a salespeople have found and if it is for them or for folks that they love this christmas. we're told a lot of black friday shopping is for folks that just want to get it for themselves. they will deal with that for christmas shopping for others later on down the road. back to you. >> my kind of shopping. >> thank you, kevin. 5:04, it is not just shoppers turning out on black friday, there are also protesters, too. >> including in our area. we are a live in landover hills this morning whom i

then ann, parent of ann taylor, which i played doing a positive piece on before deciding that women's apparel has gotten too hard, although the negativity is so thick here that the company will actually, even if it disappoints, go higher. finally, one of my favorite retailers, and that's pet smart, reports friday. frank, this has become a real dog. it's only up 8% for the year, used to be a really hot stock. wall street has uniformly turned against the company. even as i believe that long-term, the pro-pet secular trend is still in tact. so here's the bottom line. with the holiday season almost upon us, we're going to get our last read on the consumer, and i think that by and large, it will be a positive one. that could set the tone for a healthy turn -- a healthy run, right into the end of the year, something that's always happened when the s&p's been up 20% or more going into november. don't outthink this thing, people. history is on the side of the bulls right now. so be prepared to do some buying if we get weakness from any of these earnings reports, including, amazingly, even the

the material and the medicine is there. >> reporter: we wish you and your team luck ann taylor for thea pacific region with doctors without borders and thanks for your time. the communities are banning together and donating money and supplies for typhoon victims in their home land and there are collections like this in chicago, that is happening across the country and one new jersey city the haiyan impact is hitting home in a part of town known as little manila. al jazeera's erics is joining us now and good morning. >> look at the storefront and you can tell food, max of manila clearly there is a strong philippine presence and it's called little manila and it's no surprise this community is coming together to help. he works with a steady hand even as the crisis halfway around the world weighs heavily on marty's mind. his barbershop is one of several giving to the typhoon relief effort in the philippines. >> sandy was hard enough without power, we had the luxuries of running water but no nothing and no sewage and then you have to look for food and everything you known which is probably

and foot locker, petsmart and ann, which is the parent of ann taylor, reporting earnings. u.s. right now suggesting a mild tick higher at the open. the dow is currently ten points above fair value, the nasdaq around two points above fair value and the s&p 500 is around about a point above fair value. the dow yesterday up 109 to a new record above 16,000. the s&p, of course, up 14 1/2 points. the nikkei, though, today was only up around about 0.1%. check in on the bond markets. the yield currently on the ten-year's been around 2.78%. that's where we are. slight tick lower yesterday. treasuries were sort of had a two-way swing, really. the philly fed offsetting decent weekly jobless claims. elsewhere, bund yields ticked higher post the ifo number, gilt yields around the same amount as u.s. money as well. >>> that just about brings us to the conclusion of today's "worldwide exchange." coming up next, of course, we'll have the countdown to the opening markets stateside with "squawk box." i'm going to read up on how to prepare a turkey. maybe we'll get 23450 thinto th week on "world

we did have ann taylor coming out with decent numbers, foot locker beating the street by 2 cents a shareearnings a little bit ahead of expectations and the company of course also announcing a $1 billion stock buyback program, however, the company did not increase its full-year outlook. we want to end with the fresh market. that company came out with weaker-than-expected results, 3 cents below estimates, its revenue missing, too. it cited weaker consumer confidence. and walmart is lowering the prices for free shipping. you now only have to buy $35 worth of goods. earlier it was 50. we'll see if other retailers respond to that. we're watching steel stocks as well, wells fargo downgraded. and weakness in reit as well as in retail and the dow is slightly lower. >> mary thompson joining us at the floor today. our sharon epperson is at the nymex. >> reporter: there's not a lot of support for gold until we get to the 1,200 level. a lot of people think gold has further to fall. goldman sachs saying they expect declines in gold. a senate leadership in the u.s. is pressing for tougher iran sanctio
