also, what is not new is boris johnson being a euro skeptic.ly telegram. he was writing story after story in what you can see as only a euro stekeptic man. >> he's a reporter. it does not surprise me that he writes these articles. he's got a real history of that. >> we are watching live pictures of david cameron and the president leaving, susan rice is entering the news conference room. jillian from the financial times, you have seen all the rises and falls. what would be the economic consequences would you think from the eu? >> it would be fairly severe. i want to go back to boris johnson, i worked with him alongside him as a reporter in brussels many years ago. he's somebody that loves to stir up the crowd. he's very much like a donald trump figure in terms of his geni genius' comments. >> i was going to make that comment but i was afraid to. >> tapping into the popular political move. this is the key point, the same sense of anger and frustration that's driving trump and sanders and driving so much of the votes of the day is absolutely what

boris johnson's victories actually went against the trend.oris very charismatic, it's very difficult to follow boris johnson, betty. so you have to say, according to the poll, never trust the poll, especially in u. k. elections. you have to say mr. khan is the favorite, but we've still got a few days to go. anything can happen. betty: indeed. as you said, it is pretty hard to follow in boris johnson's footsteps, i imagine. still ahead on bloomberg television -- drama in the boardroom at deutsche bank. why one board member is stepping out early, plus we're breaking down the health of european banks as erges season continues to roll on. ♪ mark: i'm mark barton in london. betty: and i'm betty liu in new york. this is the european close. it is time for the bloomberg business flash, a look at some of the biggest stories in the news right now. shares of exxonmobil are rising. they posted their smallest profit in 17 years due to falling prices for sandoil natural gas. that was partially offset by a big jump in earnings from exxon's chemicals busines

questions for boris johnson are questions for boris johnson. he simply wasn't going to touch. that a wide-ranging press conference here. you can start to see president obama here shifting into legacy mode, thinking about the years of his presidency referring to the first visit to europe and on through the seven years now so far and thinking about the end game here of the obama presidency. >> lastly, they went out of their was did both gentlemen did to underscore the special relationship as they've called it. it is at time, though, a complicated relationship. there is another article out today in which the president gave an interview to "the atlantic" in the april issue. both men touching on the issues that still remain in libya. and on the issue of the complicated relationship, the president somewhat criticized mr. cameron in that. he says when i go back and i ask myself what went wrong, there is room for criticism because i had more faith in the europeans. heminister david cameron soon stopped paying attention becoming concerned with other things. >> they seem to be at pains

. >> that's right and boris johnson misplayed his hand. i grew up in india, a former british colony and i can tell you people in kenya and india, the former british empire have genuinely warm feelings about britain. as a result of that, people generally admire the great british leaders. i don't think there's any likelihood it had anything to do with that. boris johnson, of course, was really upset that obama came out as publicly and forcefully as he did on the brexitor issue and i think that was motivating that nasty aside. and i think as put clearly something america cares about not for britain's sake but the united states sake. the stakes are high. winston churchill urged the united states to fight against hitler. he was interfering in a very deep debate in the united states at the time. the stakes are very high now. if britain leaves europe, the united states loses its closest ally that has the ability to influence europe. what does that mean? sanctions against russia. sanctions against iran. the broadening of the free market in europe

i've got one in the "financial times" titled "boris johnson, david cameron, and the day after brexit.it's a sort of fictional take on how the day might unfold. i picked it because it is very amusing. it's definitely got a pro-european spin on it. bear that in mind. it's just quite an amusing take on how the day could play out. if you want to have a bit of a laugh this morning on how boris johnson might become prime minister and then trip as he goes into 10 downing street because he's a bit of a clumsy individual, it's quite amusing. boris johnson's favorite joke he's been cracking on the campaign trail in terms of arguing whether you're going to get free trade in the exit or get all the things you want to get. he keeps saying, my policy on cake is pro having it and pro eating it. good take. very amusing. >> this is serious, right. have the odds of a brexit gone up after the revelations from the panama papers about david cameron? is that too much of a jump? >> too much of a jump. at the margin, has his authority weakened at the peak of those issues last week? perhaps. he fought back ye

that is saying something after boris johnson. he has championed the city of london.e need to ensure that london remains the most business from the environment. there are one million businesses in london. they have underpinned london success. that isn't about gimmicks. it is about solving the housing crisis. my plan for london will deliver 50,000. mark: how will you do that? many politicians said we will create housing. mr. goldsmith: it is a good question to ask. my action plan for london will deliver 50,000 by protecting the transport budget. the only way to online the land, we need to grow the chancellor network. that is why the labour party candidates pledged to removed nearly 2 billion pounds from the transfer budget. mark: how will you pay for it, these 50,000 homes? mr. goldsmith: if you talk to housing associations or local authorities and developers big or small, ask them what is the biggest barrier, what do you need? it is not planning or capital. 's land. will-- it is land. ministry of defense for ministry of justice, and enormous amount of land. the govern

one of the most prominent voices in opposition london mayor boris johnson who slammed president obama as a hypocrite. what kind of fallout could they see following today's news conference? let's first get to kevin corke live in london watching every step of this. >> reporter: best laid plans, right? let's make it simple for everybody watching at home. if you are in the leave camp, you have a simple message for president obama. stay out of it! keep your opinion to yourself! the other side would say listen, relative popularity in the u.k., if he weighs in, it's probably a net positive rather than a net negative. that is the talk here. and by saying the u.k. would be at the back of the cue or back of the line in terms of economic deals, should they exit eu? that's getting a lot of play in the british media. the president was holding a joint news conference saying he wanted to use the candor that you expect from a friend, and he made it clear he wanted the u.k. to stay in the eu, here's what he had to say. >> but as david said, if one of our best friends is in an organization that enhance

we also got the mayor of london, boris johnson's, tax returns for the past year.hese are two potential successors. his troops and his own mps, profoundly divided on europe and other things, rally behind him, underlying the point in their questions that they recognize he had done nothing wrong. this is a prime minister that recognized, as a former pr man, that he hadn't had a great week and that he accepted all the criticisms leveled against him. who he did not convince, unsurprisingly, is the labour party or the scottish national party. the labour party and the labor "ader jeremy corbyn said, there was one rule for the rich and one for the rest," and that the government was incapable of taking action against tax dodging. a week is a long time in politics. last monday, downing street was saying that the prime minister's tax affair was a private matter. here, we have his tax affairs since he has been prime minister published for the world to see. i think questions will continue. pressure from the media, opposition. mr. cameron firmly hopes he has now drawn a line an

opponents are upset -- one of them, boris johnson, doubting whether president equal part kenyan that he called part kenyan has britain's prestigious at heart. -- best interests at heart. our loss, 60% of the note emanating from the united states would not dream of subjugating itself in any way to any other international jurisdiction. reporter: side-by-side, shoulder to shoulder, barack obama has done his part and more. the fight for britain's future lies in the balance and that will decide whether the dramatic support david cameron's closest friend and ally has given today is remembered as a prize trophy or just a kind consolation. katty: for more on this decision over whether britain votes to leave the eu when i spoke a short time ago with austan goolsbee that he served as the chairman of president obama's council of economic advisers and he is now at the university of chicago. thank you for joining me come austan goolsbee could let's get to the economics in a second. generally speaking, american voters don't like it when foreigners weigh in on their politics to was it wise for the

and the raup yan iranian-dominated forces take palmyra, and we get things in the newspaper like boris johnson writes that palmyra has been liberated by -- you know, and that isis has been defeated by the assad -- by the pro-assad forces and isn't that really wonderful? he's smart enough to know he had to mention the fact that, yes, of course, assad does use chemical weapons and torture his own people and so on and so i feel a little bit -- i, boris johnson, i feel a little bit sheepish about saying this but isn't it wonderful? no, actually it's not wonderful. it's not wonderful. believe me, i don't shed a tear for any isis fighter who has killed, but what are we talking about? who liberated palmyra? afghan, iraqi, shiite militias dominated by the iranian, trained, equipped, and deployed by the iranians with the support of russian airpower and as joe said, we have some contracted to the russians in syria which means we are building a new order. not just in syria but in the middle east, in which this russian/iranian alliance and this network of militias that the iranians have put together which

the writer, london mayor boris johnson, is accused of dog whistle racism. >> i'm a fan of-- i think i was one of the first u.k. politicians to come out in favor of president obama's candidacy. >> reporter: still, johnson wrote that president obama had removed a bust of winston churchill from the oval office because of his distaste for all things british. nonsense, says the president. there's another churchill bust upstairs. >> i love winston churchill. i love the guy. >> reporter: the referendum vote isn't until late june. right now, scott, it's too close to call. >> pelley: mark phillips, our man in london tonight, mark, thank you. campaign manager is telling republicans they're about to be introduced to a new trump, trump 2.0, we're told, has depth. here's major garrett. >> reporter: paul manafort, donald trump's new campaign chief, told members of the republican committee gathered in florida that the front-runner has been putting on an act, something trump himself hinted at today. >> if i was totally presidential, we have 10,000 people here, or something, i'd have about 300 and you

you may recognize this man -- boris johnson. and mine,avorite rag "the sun."saggressive position. john: it is always good when the alternative to looking to me is looking at a brown door. the basic thing is this is a boris johnsonf actually being strategic. he took the risk, which i think has worked well for his side, to go for obama. itmally in british politics, very seldom pays for you to attack the american president. here iscase, he said barack obama, coming across to lecture you about some thing which america would never dream of doing itself. america hangs onto its sovereignty more tightly than any other country in the world and would never dream of something as complicated as the european union, so why are they lecturing us? even though i am on the other side of the argument, i think that is a good move. betty: should the president should have stayed out of it? john: no. it is entirely reasonable to say this is our view. downsidesa, there are is britain leaves. leaves,in voluntarily it is bad news for america. bad news for a series of american businesse

there are similarities in between what sanders and trump is tapping into and what boris johnson is tapping into the uk. we can see evidence of this in france and south korea. let's call this event what it was. this was a campaign for david cameron. they knew the risk of having an outsider say to the british people, what do you do. what does it tell you how nervous cameron is? he knew there would be criticisms that came with the president of the united states do it. the president would not do it unless cameron asks him to do it. local coverage tonight is going to be about who are you mr. president? there will be a lot of this debate, should he have done it or should he have not. that tells you, this breaks it. cameron is beyond nervous. it is risky to ask an outsider to participate and even a friendly outsider like the president of the united states. >> yeah, that was a big deal. unity is under strained. that was a strong statement. i have not heard him say that. >> and a time when nato was under strained and that's obvious but a shocking one. >> his next stop in germany. under strained of

is it appropriate for boris johnson to have brought out president obama's canyon ancestry in the context of this? >> let me go first. questions for boris are not questions for me. i don't have a special power over the president of the united states. barack feel strongly about this and said what he said and it is our decision is a sovereign people, the choice we make about europe, it is right to listen to and consider the advice of your friend. to amplify one of the points barack mays, we have a shared interest in making sure europe takes a robust approach to russian aggression and if you take the issues of the sanctions we put in place through the european union, i think i can put my hand on my heart and say britain played a role and continues to play a role in making sure those sanctions are put in place and kept in place. not sure it would have happened if we weren't there. it is in our interest and it is in our interest to be strong against oppression. how can it be in our interests not to be at the table and to see those sanctions not take place. it has been working between britain a

what do you say to them and is it appropriate for the mayor of london, boris johnson, to have brought up the kenyan ancestry in the context of this debate? >> the british question. first of all, questions for boris and they're not questions for me. i don't have some special power over the president of the united states. you know, barack feels strongly about what he said and as i said, it's our decision as a sovereign people. the choice we make about europe that i think it's right to listen to and consider the advice of your friends and amplify the points that barack made. we have a shared interest of making sure europe takes a robust approach to russian aggression and if you take those issues of the sanctions that we put in place through the european union, i think i can put my hand on my heart and say britain played a really important role and continues to play an important role in making sure those sanctions were put in place and kept in place. i'm not sure it would have happened if we weren't there. now it's in our interest for europe to be strong against aggression. how can it be

but what we learned in the last couple of days was the fact that boris johnson slamming the u.s.dent just meant that he looks more like a hardliner, right-wing american, which will backfire in the u.k. jonathan: thank you so much. a lot of people said it would take it while nothing happens with congress anyway. david: that is why would he said was right. he has had the experience. look at the way our congress works. carol: yes, everything takes a wild. it is time for the econ recon. carl riccadonna is going to take us through this. we have the gdp coming out this week and you have dated today? carl: yes, we start with new home sales. we should have some rebound but the focus is on the developments into this week. we get the last data point ahead of the statement which will be verbal goods on march. the reason we focus on that is because a lot of these surveys are showing some improvement in the sector so there are hints of green but we have yet to see it in the hard data, data like industrial production or factory orders. carol: but you and i have this conversation all the time.

boris johnson showing unusual political candidness.d quite early, did not wait for obama to come in. the main politician on the exit side. he came in and said, this is fine. obama is massively hypocritical. america has always been a place of individual sovereignty, this is all about sovereignty. and by doing that, he actually managed to fire something into obama before he arrives. and so i suspect the obama affect will be less. i would never have predicted this before but it will be less , than previously thought. this is massively critical, america always makes the most of individual sovereignty. here is brady and's chance to do this -- here is britain's chance to do the same. i don't agree with him, but he has done it well. ian bremmer: how do you think obama is doing on europe, on the transatlantic legendship, and how about this special relationship? >> i am not super concerned about the special relationship either, because i do not think europe and britain in particular has any place to go. so that doesn't mean you take them for gr

that close this question -- i must assume that -- howand break that close does it need to be for boris johnsonase to party members and members of parliament -- how close is a need to be before we can start saying prime minister johnson? if it is a vote to stay in it would be very close. he is taking a bit of a gamble on this one. i think the government and david cameron -- if it is any less than 6040, internal warfare will continue in this issue will not go away. i think we will need to see quite a lot of ruckus and more developments before we have a leadership summit. guy: let's wrap it up with where this gets priced in. the risk reversal has affected the skew on sterling and we have moved quite sharply. it continues to move lower -- how much more has that trade got? >> right now the institutional investors are putting on options -- if you need insurance you probably have it already. we don't have any marginal drivers and unless there is a sudden shift in the polls on a consistent basis, comprehensively putting data on the baseline scenario, i think you will have to see the move. but once tha

we're receive the politics playing fireworks on the ground for boris johnson. >> you might as well takeof london made unbelievable -- >> but also seen as a potential leader. >> yeah. >> johnson -- [ talking over each other ] >> you don't think he's the donald trump of the u.k.? >> i don't. he has shown in addition to being he has the baa foon i are but he can shown he can run a city. he's popular for what he has done. i wouldn't call him the michael bloomberg of the u.k. he's a very canny politician. not that he's in favor of the brits leading the union. in the week before the vote he said he was going the other way. he does recognize he gets it done then he's got a straight shot. >> you said obama's comments don't change the game. i would think it could backfire. >> it could. >> in your case what is this guy doing telling us what to do. >> that's right. it's not going to change the vote. in order if brexit is not the basis of obama showing up and what he said. the point is the u.s.-u.k. relationship, i think there's going to be a more significant backlash favorable or unfavorable. it w

london's mayor boris johnson hit back about the president's comments. >> i do think it's perverse thaty the united states to embroil ourselves ever more deeply in a system where our laws, 60% of them now are emanating from the eu. when the united states would not dream of subjugating itself in any way in that jurisdiction. >> the biggest partner is the european union. max foster tells us more about the relationship. >> reporter: what is the eu? the european union say group of companies that work together to create several markets that allows services and goods and people to move along the member state as long as they follow the rules and pay the entry fees. but we're getting ahead of ourselves. to start this story, we need to go back to world war ii. after six years of fighting europe was decimated. economies were collapses and mistrust was ripe as old enemies faced the prospect of re-creating trade tice. france and germany faced the difficult task of creating a unity for profit so they started talking. mainly about steel and coal. in 1951, a total of six countries, france, belgium, we

of a stir, there were comments made by the mayor of london, boris johnson -- we will have to interrupt you. president obama and british prime minister david cameron -- david cameron live from london. >> barack has been president more than seven years. i have been prime minister nearly 60 years. our countries have been working together through some of the most troubled global times. we faced the aftermath of the banking crisis, they need to create jobs and our economies, new threats to our security from russia to the rise of islamist terrorists. and huge global challenges like climate change. through it all, the partnership between the nations has never been more important. when 70 years ago last month winston churchill first described the special relationship, it was not merely an expression of friendship, it was a way of working together. it was about kindred spirits who share the same values and so often the same approaches to the many issues we face. ist as our predecessors, it true for barak and me, whether working to deliver on national security or new merging challenges. weeconom

skeptics like london mayor boris johnson are accusing mr. obama of being a bully, writing, "the u.s. guards its democracy with more hysterical jealousy than any other country on earth. it's a breathtaking example of the principle do as i say, but not as i do." well, the president's going to hold a press conference later today with david cameron to emphasize the special relationship. and the obamas will end the day on a less scandalous notes, having dinner with the duke and duchess of cambridge, better known as will and kate. >> margaret brennan in london. i will see you in germany on monday. i'll interview the president there in hanover. you can see it here on tuesday on "cbs this morning." the entire conversation will be on my pbs program on tuesday night. >> something to look forward to next week. >>> forecasters say in houston, we'll finally get a break from the rain this weekend. more thunderstorms on thursday hit areas that were already under water after a week of heavy raining. the flooding is blamed for eight deaths in the houston are

there is not just the mayor of london, boris johnson. officials inside the uk. a former member of the cabinet. also opposing this. i was really surprised by how much time president president obama spent in that press conference going over this. i do not think that it will go over very well. >> i always wonder what is the difference when a leader does something like this. mayberent latitude. pope francis started talking about our treatment of illegals. maybe the pope gets a pass. he is stating his opinions. getting too political. what do you make of that? the mac the pope is generally given a pass. politics is not his main job. people understand that he is going after issue from a religious perspective. hoping that healthy immigrants. it is obvious that there is an agenda in mind. he does not have a strong grasp of the facts. britain has a trade deficit with the eu. the eu would be crazy with not signing. there are other former countries associated with britain such as australia and new zealand. it is difficult to import to britain right now. there are other mark

given -- >> reporter: the president's strong endorsement drew criticism from the london mayor, boris johnson, that he was meddling in parish affairs. johnson blasted him as a bully, even claiming his half kenyan heritage made him resentful of colonial past. mr. obama rejected the notion that he was interfering in british affairs. >> this is a decision for the people of the united kingdom to make. i'm not coming here to fix any votes. i'm not casting a vote myself. were mourning the death of prince, president obama said he, too, paid his respects. >> prince passed away. you were a fan. you had invited him to perform at the white house. can you tell us what made you a fan. >> i loved prince because he put out great music. it so happens our ambassador has a turntable, and so this morning, we played "purple rain" and "delirious" just to get warmed up before we left the house for important bilateral meetings like this. >> reporter: the president did make his case again today for the u.k. to remain part of an e.u. during a town hall with british youth. tomorrow he heads to germany for an important

also the mayor of london, boris johnson, joined the "brexit" campaign and about half of conservative mps are backing "brexit" and about 70% of the conservative party members but this has become, i think, a tremendous battle between largely grassroots conservatives combined with, you know, sizable chunk as well as labour party as well who are in support of britain leaving european union. between the grass roots and political elites in britain and business elites as well. there has been a great deal of controversy this week with regard to david cameron's government spending 9 million pounds on leaflet campaign aimed at everyone of the 27 million households across britain, using government money and printing company actually owned by a german firm that receives a large number of e.u. subsidies and hand crowds. so the irony there is not lost on the british people but, i do think that, the british people are being offered the opportunity to jump on a lifeboat being thrown off the side of the titanic. that is all the european union really is today. i think eu in its current form won't les

on bloomberg radio was who was going to get more isy, the president, who relatively popular, or boris johnsonting in "the sun" on the same day. i would argue that boris gets the most sway. francine: you are probably right. it depends if the 2 million readers of "the sun" vote. is himu wonder if this thinking it is bad for the u.k. or the president thinking this is a fragile global economy and i am worried about my own country. francine: it is difficult to put figures on it. i spoke to a former bank of england governor. he was attacking christine lagarde for writing on the brits as well. it's like glass, you can break it easily. the real pomp and circumstance is taking place right there. that is marine one, from winfield house, the ambassador's residents, which just landed at windsor castle, because the president will have lunch with the queen. and later, he is invited to kensington palace, hosted by the duke and duchess. jon: i am more excited about the news conference with prime minister cameron and what he has to say. frankly -- francine lacqua, thank you. vonnie: and the queen should not w
