arjun is still with us also. arjun mentioned many of the points we should be watching out for.rst thing that catches my attention is alibaba is much more of a domestic-focused company than some of its peers given that the chinese economy is slowing down a bit, are you expecting that to show up in earnings today >> good morning. i think it certainly has an impact to the stock performance recently we had a lot of macro data in china showed signs of slowing. there is a tradeoff here in regards to the fact that you have an e-commerce giant who is growing much faster than the economy, but with concerns over the long-term impacts of potential trade wars, we could see some of that a bit that could translate into where we will see strong top line growth again in this quarter, but the trade offwith thooff wie margins is a concern among investors. we've also seen other tech giants in china, particularly tence tencent, and then some peers in the space that we have seen in the likes of jd.com that showed some tepid q3 guidance might concern i venvestors as well >> i want to pick up on a po

to talk about this we have caroline simmons with us and arjun kharpal also joins us in the studio arjun, it's just a number ultimately what happens next? >> it's just a number. i want to say earlier this week when we were on "squawk box," i did say apple would be the first trillion dollar company. >> did you put money on it >> no. the key here is that it is just a number but it drives down to the heart of the business model of apple which has gotten predictable that's why it's been so loved by the market it's got a solid iphone sales. yes, they're not growing at 10%, 15%, but they're growing at 1%, 2%, 3% that's enough in this slowing market for hardware. on top of that you have the services revenue that continues to drive performance they have a huge user base over 1 billion iphones in the market so that's crucial. on top of that, yes, they have not had a mega killer next big iphone product, but the likes of the apple watch, air pods, they have done well that category grew significantly. so some of these other accessories are doing well all of that together, that's why you have seen ap

arjun kharpal has a sneak peek arjun? >> the big launch here was around samsung's new eye popping 8k tvs which they hope will be the future of tv they also spend time talking about the newly released note nine which came out earlier this month a discussion was around the price point. you thought the $1,000 iphone x was expensive, the note 9 costs $1,200 i asked whether we have the top for smartphone prices or if they can go higher. >> i think we have the responsibility of going back to consumers, understanding what their wants and needs are. as long as we're able to surprise them with new features or new products that are fulfilling their needs, i think we can reasonably demand a little bit more. the example is the 512 gigabyte version of the note 9. >> so speaking there a bit about the price of phones and admitted they'll go higher because new features come in think about 5g technology, foldable display technology. i was speaking to an analyst on the ground who said he wouldn't be surprised if you saw smartphones in the

arjun, it is -- forever it was just the iphone.le was a phone company that had a few other things you cannot ignore as an investor this amazing boom in the services side of the apple story. >> that's right. that's increasingly important because what we saw is even though iphone revenues were up 20% this quarter, the actual unit sales were up 1%. that shows there's a slowdown in the smartphone market globally apple needs to continue to gain recurring revenues from its users. this is the way it will do it. the services revenue is up 31% this quarter that's the second straight quarter of growth. it's chugging along. it's become important. if you look at apple from an investor perspective i'm interested to see if there's a re-rating of the stock it trades at 14time times pe if you look at alphabet, which is 27 times pe, does the market rerate apple more towards the software kind of business rather than a hardware. the iphone still accounts for around two-thirds of apple's revenue. so it still is a really important factor in the company

in just a week they lost half of their earnings with the relation to the dollar and remember that arjun times are used to saving and thinking in dollars and that's not an unusual thing they've you know if you think about just how unstable and how chaotic the financial markets have been historically in this country now some analysts are saying that a default on this country's sovereign debt is going to be inevitable that this is going to happen whether the government likes it or not but others and the certainly the jury is still out on this believe that the i.m.f. is not going to make that possible that it will continue to give more and more money into this already indebted country but what that will mean of course is that there will be austerity measures placed those are the conditions for those loans and that means that arjun times again that i have to start tightening their belts more and more than they're doing already here because you name it on the growing economic crisis in argentina thank you. still to come on this program iran debates a new law which would reduce child labor but

hotly anticipate the galaxy note 9 comes as the firm targets fresh revenue streams and job growth arjunjoins us in the studio this is the latest sign of this growing luxury market, no? >> there's certainly a market here for high-end devices, those $1,000 plus ranges we're expecting this device to be around that same price as the apple iphone x. the note is an interesting device they pioneered that large-screen device a few years ago with the note series. it will never be a huge volume driver, but it's a high margin device they hope can support their mobile business and attract a certain consumer who likes the latest in technology, perhaps using it for work, productivity it's expected to have a screen about 6.4 inches, one of the largest on the market. so there's a big device as we do more and more on our smartphones. >> as we talk about apple, samsung, huawei, we are seeing growth in those areas. do you think samsung is a little too dependent on the luxury smartphone model >> with samsung, they rely on android. that's owned by google with apple, they actually own the operating system an

. >> arjun kharpal joins us now. when does spotify follow a netflix model?s it invest in new talent as a way as eating into the share of record labels >> that's a great point. what we are seeing is some artists are looking to bypass the traditional routes to market rather than go through some of these streaming platforms, they're launching records, albums, songs on their own websites that is a great area for the likes of spotify to tap into there's a clear demand from the artists to want to come to the market in a different kind of way. these distribution platforms, the likes of spotify and apple could provide good routes to that they'red ed advertising concertr the artist, that seems to be a push for them. i wanted to ask you, tom, when do we start to see some of these newer internet streaming platforms eat away at some other parts of the chain of -- in the music industry when do they host their own concerts cut out the middleman? >> we are already seeing this. one of the most important points from the report is the fast the growing part of the music indust

arjun kharpal with a story that on the surface people would not like, but yet the stock continues toise. >> it's the idea what facebook is asking banks for is checking account details, latest transactions in order to turn facebook messenger into an interface for your financial transactions rather than you going to an app on your bank or a website. it's all about the idea that facebook has all these assets, instagram, facebook messenger and whatsapp and investors want to see facebook monetizing that it's interesting that it comes at a sensitive time. we have the cambridge analytica data scandal happening facebook in its statement about this story made it clear this would be completely opt in the eddata would not be used for advertising. the key part is about keeping people information safe and secure i was in china a couple weeks ago it seems like facebook is borrowing something from tencent, which owns the messaging service wechat in china. where we have loads of different apps here, we go to a banking app, messaging app, everything is built into wechat ordering food. ordering a taxi

[laughter] reading from a book to a cafi full of people. but i will do my very best this evening. thank you all for joining this important conversation. i'm going to start out by talking a little bit about, i have been told i need to project. i'm going to start by talking a little about my journey. and why i decided to write this book. then i'm going to read from some of the survivors testimonials. because ultimately, this book, this moment isn't about me. it is about survivors and communities across this country who are experiencing hate and all of its forms. why i wrote this book. first things first. the united states of america was built on a hate crime. the decimation and genocide of native communities. and it was furthered on additional hate crimes including slavery. jim crow, mass incarceration and the like. yet, it is nevertheless

james gottfried joins us and arjun is also here the numbers coming out of apple, there was a huge focus on the tech swoon in recent sessions, but it's the old story of price over volume when it came to iphone sales, james. >> absolutely. unit sales were flat year on year there was a slight reduction in the inventory. if you exclude that effect, apple talked about mid single digit growth so it is growing what's a standout this year has been the 20% price increase. the x proved to be the most popular iphone, still the most popular iphone and has driven up numbers this year. >> quite an upsell to consumers. when you consider 20% growth in the average selling price that the x has helped the company achieve. is there a story behind the x and what this says about future devices? >> they have shown there's a market for ultra premium devices. there were a lot of concerns going in when the x was released that the $1,000 price tag would put off people while it may not have been a kind of huge volume seller, it certainly did a huge deal for the average selling price of the device, for the revenues

my colleague, arjun kharpal, he has more details on this what is the benefit for both companies?> what you're seeing here is the technology companies which uber would say it is, developing the software behind many of these systems. uber doesn't make cars you do have toyota who are a traditional carmaker and have that experience in creating hardware so you've seen it with the likes of waymo and fiat chrysler, they had a tie up you see uber providing technology to toyota that will allow them to spread the costs of the r & d, and it means toyota does not have to invest so much into an area where it has no expertise in you likely will see more of these deals in the newt xufuture this seems to make sense for reducing r & d costs for companies. do you think this will be happening again and again? >> i think you'll see a lot of that one company has been flagged up by many analysts, apple. tim cook has spoken not too much about it, fairly tight-lipped, but they are developing the technology there behind driverless cars. that's another play their could g get into the space i used the anal
