will hutton joins us now from brussels. can you run through exactly what the commission is asking for and why? is one of those situations where you get to the end of the year and you get a letter from the tax authority saying, we think you os more. -- owe us more. couple. in the last weeks got a letter from the european commission saying, we think you underpaid your contribution to european union funds by about 20%. they want another 2.1 billion euros. on how calculated based everyone's economy has done. relatively, the u.k. economy has done very well. the u.k. isn't the only country receiving this demand. it is the largest. the netherlands has been asked about 600 million euros. there are other countries including some surprising ones. countries like france and germany are being told, you are going to get a bit back. >> what has the response been? 2.1 billion is quite significant. what did david cameron say? he hasn't said anything public yet, but privately, his office pushing back quite hard. he had a meeting with mark ri

we spent about ten hours in brussels and flew out of brussels airport. there was no screening whatsoever in brussels. so we could very well be coming to the states with a potential fever but i would be very satisfied in atlanta that they would have picked it up had i had any type of fever. >> okay. but if brussels isn't checking, you could have potentially -- had you had the virus, infected a whole airplane? >> well, yes. if i was feeling very sick and being very irresponsible, absolutely. >> sean, you worked for the cdc in the past and you say you knew the protocols were not going to work and that you actually reached out to the administration. what was their reaction? >> well, i think the first reaction was that they debated and argued and the second was that they kind of absorbed and blew me off. >> they blew you off? they blew you off? >> they didn't really -- i mean, the reality is, there was no follow up and i'm hoping -- i'll be honest with you, judge, i think there's new guidelines coming out tonight and i'm hoping when i get a chance to look at

brussels is problematic.wo french ministers are heading to berlin to discuss that. >> we can think of that like a minisummit. the french finance minister and the economy minister are meeting their german counterparts in berlin. the two countries are reportedly repairing a pact that could keep find -- that could keep france from fines over the budget. a recent report said reforms could go a long way. it could lead to a 1.6% boost in the gdp over five years, more than twice that over the next 10 years. that might not sound like much, but france is forecast to grow just 0.4% this year. it could be quite appealing. tom waterhouse has more. >> boosting investments and triggering growth in the euro zone -- that's the official is in the -- official agenda as they meet in berlin. there will no doubt be serious discussions about france's own finances as well as it seeks crucial german backing for its 2015 budget plans. paris had difficulty getting its finances in order and keeping promises over deficit reduction. now

lord hill in the hot seat in brussels.tor of the financial inclusion center will be joining us. sapphire's spending cuts. the french have announced fairly big cuts this morning. they are not going to hit any of their financial targets in the near term and they are refusing austerity. interesting combination. a reminder, you can follow me on twitter. we will take a break. we will leave our radio viewers there. for our viewers, "the pulse" will be back in a couple minutes time. ♪ on china's national day. protesters in hong kong as the city's leaders call for calm. france says no to austerity but yes to cuts. the deficit will not be below 3% until 2017. sainsbury's slip. supermarket shares falling as the dividend is up for review. good morning to our viewers in europe, good evening to those in asia, and a very warm welcome to those just waking up in the u.s. i am guy johnson. this is "the pulse." we are live from london. let's get to our top story. straightin the 6th day in hong kong as china marks national day. a major publi

and everyone in brussels knows that. that's why they do take this seriously.this turns out to be a flash in the pan, again the dust will settle and we'll go back to normal. but if any of the new incoming eu team were inclined to ignore that result in may, this is a wake-up call that those anti-euro factions in britain, in the netherlands, in germany, france, and many other countries, they're not really dormant. they may seem to be quiet for now, but this is something that has got to be addressed, and david cameron comes here for an eu summit later this month, a couple of weeks ahead of another major election for him that he doesn't want to lose to ukip. that would be really bad news. and when he comes here for that summit, he's going to have to say to the new commission president, give me something i can take home, a reform package so that i can fend off ukip. >> very, very briefly, the anti-immigration theme has run through europe. the head of ukip, seen as very affable, but lots of his messages seen as pretty nasty. >> they are, but again, one has to admit t

so shut down brussels, too? gets tricky when you're talking about -- >> no, we have to take travel histories. but we have this sort of information anyway as people make circuits as they go from country to country. so we can track them. i'm sure what's being done now is people are trying to track anybody who might have come into contact with him in brussels, despite the fact that at that point he was not infectious. and i want to emphasize what sanjay said a moment ago. in virology, airborne means it lingers in the air. this is not so. >> you mentioned something about the two-meter zone -- >> it's a distance. for example, a small aerosol which goes a few inches is very different than an airborne virus which may distribute through several feet. >> so very significant to note. a very small area, yes, but generally speaking, an entire bus, no. if you have questions, tweet them using e#ebolaqanda. just tweet us your questions. after the break, we'll have more for you. big day? ah, the usual. moved some new cars. haul

we know a man coming from brussels to newark was vomiting on the plane. plane with rubber gloves on. the cdc was responding. but at this point that man has been taken to the hospital, right? and the passengers have been removed. so, do we know what the latest is? what could have caused this? >> reporter: we don't know what the latest is because the cdc isn't telling us precisely where the man is from and, you know, how they were able to determine and assess whether or not to let those passengers off the plane so we have limited details on that front, but what we do know is the passengers as you mentioned have been allowed off the plane. they were going through customs up until a few minutes ago. in fact, we spoke to a gentleman who said he was a family member of a passenger that was on the plane. he said that he's been waiting for his nephew and that his nephew actually had come from liberia through brussels. here's what he had to say -- >> i think it sounds like we don't -- it sounds like we don't have that sound. so can you just recap for me what he sai

in 1404, duke philip the bold died at the stag inn near brussels. 20 years earlier his royayal sculptors had begun work on philip's tomb. one of them carved these images of the funeral procession which transported his body back to burgundy. clothed in the habit of a carthusian monk philip's embalmed body was sealed in a lead coffin and carried in a funeral cortege whh took nearly seven weeks to wind the 250 miles from brussels to dijon. accompanied by his sons, his chaplains, and members of his royal court the hearse was drawn by six horses in black with the blue banners of burgundy fluttering at its corners. at dijon, it was received not only by the weeping clergy but by 100 chosen townspeople and 100 poor also clad in black at the duke's expense. as with the other great royal and ducal rituals of the later middle ages death itself could be turned into public theater. philip's tomb itself lay just outside dijon at the carthusian monastery of champmol. it took nearly 30 years to complete and was finished in 1414. three sculptors worked on it. among them was a forgotten genius of european

is highhreat of ebola on the agenda at the eu summit in brussels. european leaders have been discussing energy security and unrest in the ukraine. hans nichols joins us from berlin. i gather that this news on the a bola case came a little bit later in the evening. what is the reverberation on the ground for you? acknowledgment that there needs to be a coordinated response from the eu on ebola. i suspect we will be hearing more about it today. there have already been cases in germany and spain. the mayor of london has talked about the likelihood of it coming to london. a coordinateda of response that is driving the discussion. last night, it was all climate change. they reached an agreement to cut greenhouse gas emissions from 1990 levels, 40% by 2030. environmental groups are criticizing this as being too soft, not ambitious enough. francois hollande said, like all good accords, this is a compromise. not all countries are in the same situation. this agreement is expensive for some countries. they are going to have to spend 38 billion euros in transf

authority see them as a real threat for stop in brussels recently, belgian police prevented a terroristack on an eu building, but five months ago, they were too late when four people were killed in an attack on the jewish mise museum there. witnesses say they recognized the gunman as an active jihadists will suck like the jewish we see them in russell's is now -- as an active jihadist. >> the jewish museum in brussels is now closely guarded. for years, unlike many other jewish institutions, it was not a fortified stronghold. people were proud of the fact that it's doors were always open and special security measures were unnecessary. the museum director is disillusioned. >> that ideal, that humanistic vision has been shattered by reality. unfortunately, now we have to face that reality. >> what happened? on might when he fourth, the day before the european elections, shots were fired in the museum's entrance area. police arrived quickly but not soon enough. three people were killed on the spot. another died two weeks later. the copresent threat. -- the culprit fled. a surveillance video

we expect them to brief brussels, possibly with the answers to that. in the meantime where there's a lack of knowledge, that's where fear is creeping in, a fear as to how far the ebola outbreak might go. >> paul brennan reporting. >> kenya's present arrived in amsterdam on the way to the criminal court at the hague. kenyatta is facing trials against humanity, mass killages, since the elections in 2011. he'll be the first head of state to be tried at the international criminal court. simon mcgregor-wood reports from the hague. >> well, kenyatta asked in the hague for his day in court. he travelled with a number of cabinet ministers, and a group of supporters, including his wife and a daughter. on the ground he was met by a number of supporters here. on wednesday we upped that there'll be dozens of other people who have flown to the aying to show him support -- to the hague to show him support. there's be a colourful scene on wednesday when he makes his appearance, doing so as a private citizens, having temporarily abdi kated power to his deputy and co-a

in the case of this, he flies to brussels and then he gets to dulles in washington and then he moves on to dallas. so there was a multi-leg part of that trip and i'm wondering if it is something that a savvy librarian or traveler, i will spread this out over a couple of days and we will go to rome and brussels and then mike tighe will say that i'm leaving from rome or brussels and we're finding clever ways around it. >> away the back and be handled is the originating individual, if they are originating from these three west african countries, they would not be allowed in the united states. neil: do think it's too late for this number we have cases, a couple of suspected cases in the united states, maybe this has come and gone? >> let's go ahead and do it to prevent more people from coming into the united states or possibly infected. we should obviously do that now. it's common sense and let's protect the health of the united states. >> many others say that it's going to be more than that. what would you tell parents? >> i think that parents should be leery of letting their kids go to

no matter, just blame europe/brussels/foreigners/immig europe/brussels/foreigners/immig europe/brusselseigners/immig europe, brussels, foreigners, immigrants, the english, the south, professional politicians, westminster, the business, anybody claiming benefits, even onshore wind farms -- life is so simple when you know who -- or what -- to blame. it's seductive and it's beguiling. that much may even be proved tomorrow, if the people of clacton give the uk independence party an mp. but resentment, the politics of fear, doesn't pay the bills or create a single job. claiming to address people's acute anxiety about the modern world, it provides nothing but the false comfort of grievance. dressed up as the politics of hope, it is in fact a counsel of despair. why do you think i took on nigel farage in the tv debates at the european elections? because i thought it would be easy? me defending britain's membership of the eu, him bashing brussels. no, i did it for the same reason this party must now come out fighting -- because someone has to stand up for the liberal britain in which we and mil

that this person, this patient flew through brussels. i want to start with airport screening. what can be done at airports to try to keep someone with ebola from passing through those gates? >> at this point in time, not a great deal at all. some airports, even south africa and nigeria and asia are experimenting with thermal scanners, great big scanners that scan for elevated human temperature. they were in place across the united states as well following the 2009 sars outbreak. the problem in the case of ebola while it does provide public comfort it won't be an effective stop because you can carry ebola for as long as 21 at as before you present symptoms. when you present symptoms that is when you run the risk of passing it to others. the scanners will not catch ebola in people that haven't yet presented. really it is cosmetic and only that. that is the only effective means we have aside from taking a blood simple. in nigeria if you show up and if they have any suspicion you are an ebola carrier, they pull you aside and do a blood test on you. that takes about two hours. that

here in europe, health ministers are meeting in brussels.oducing screening at airports is expected to be top of the agenda, but as the bbc's chris morris in brussels says, not everyone thinks that it is a good idea. >> reporter: we know that britain, for example, has already started skreeting at heathrow airport and that will be extended to gatwick and eurostar train arrival terminal. we understand that paris in france, airports in paris will start screening on saturday. but on the way into the health minister's meeting today, for example, the finnish health minister said finland doesn't believe this is a good idea. people are already screened on their exit from west africa. it's a bit of a waste of time and money to screen them a couple of hours later when they arrive in europe, because the chances of ebola symptoms suddenly emerging in that two-hour period are pretty slim. i think the alternative argument is yes, but the useful thing about entry screening is that information can be given. if you experience symptoms after you arrive in euro

brussels wants italy to drastically cut its public debt. i am joined by an economist. think we lost him on the line. >> he will try to get back to him. let's move on to the tragic death of the head of the group total. that left a group -- a void. >> the union officials are saying the board has tapped patrick pouyanne as the new ceo of total. he joined total and since 2012 has been working as the head of the refining and chemicals division. he will oversee a cost-cutting strategy as lower oil prices has forced companies to cut their cost and squeezing their profits. the board has named thierry desmarest as chairman. >> how about the european markets today? >> indices are next. at least 11 banks might fail the european stress test -- indices are inmixed. that is pushing financial stocks lower. >> and interesting story about happy ex-pats. >> a survey we spoke to more than 9000 people from around the world ranging on issues from disposable income and quality of life. top of the list is switzerland. thanks to the great fondue and the beautiful countryside and a sporty life

it was coming from liberia, went to brussels international airport, took a flight from brussels here to dulles before continuing on to dallas, texas. we have spoken to passengers in the metropolitan washington airports authority today. passengers are understandably the newseven before was confirmed, that this passenger had come through here. ofing to stop any more cases ebola from coming here to the u.s., cdc officials are working with airports and hospitals nationwide, trying to ensure proper screening methods. of the six european countries he has visited and the u.s., only one airport has any screening methods in place, the nigerian airport.

delivering its 2015 budget in brussels. it has not met the eu targets. >> it is being seen as a defined move here. -- defiant move here. the biggest problem here is the budget deficit. the eu wants all its member states to bring that budget deficit to it than 3% of gdp. while initially saying that it would do that this year, the france has said it will be possible until 2017. the european commission decides to reject the budget and make an example of france, it could become the first eurozone country to be sanctioned for its budget deficit. >> sovereignty in terms of the budget lies with the french parliament. that is the finance ministers position. >> i only know of one place where a budget can be rejected delayed amended. you will see that in action and see who truly exercises national sovereignty. >> brussels under new powers acquired last year can oblige france to reconsider its 2015 budget. if commission recommendations are not applied, sanctions are possible. they would be a first. the country could be denied access t

duncan took a brussels airlines flight from monrovia to brussels and after a seven-hour layover in the belgium capital he boarded 951 to here, to washington's dulles airport. after a three-hour layover in the washington, d.c., area, he took united 822 to dallas, texas. we're covering the story from all the angles. dr. sanjay gupta, our chief medical correspondent, at the cdc headquarters, the centers for disease control in atlanta, and joining us from new york, dr. alexander vantullcan, infectious disease specialist. sanjay, i want to first play for you and our viewers, what anderson cooper told us a little while ago about the girlfriend of this individual thomas eric duncan, because it's pretty shocking to hear had her story. listen to anderson. >> once he started antibiotics he started having a lot of diarrh diarrhea, making a lot of trips to the bathroom. he was not vomiting according to louise. but he was, you know, sweating a lot during the night in her bed. the sheets are still on the bed, she told me. >> in the apartment where she called from. >> in the apartment. the sheets he

this patient flow through brussels. let's start with airport screening.hat can be done at airports that -- technologically to keep someone with ebola from passing through those gates? >> there is not a great deal at this time. some airports like in south africa and nigeria and asia are experimenting with thermal scanners. they scanned for elevated human temperature. they were in place across the united states as well following the 2009 sars outbreak which was favor base. the problem with that is while it provides a certain amount of public copper, it is not going to be an effective stop. you can carry ebola for as long as 21 days before you begin to present symptoms. when you start to present symptoms is when you run the risk of passing it to others. the scanners are not going to catch ebola that is in people who have not yet presented. it is cosmetic and that's the only effective means we have right now aside from taking a blood sample. in nigeria, if you present with elevated fever and if they have suspicion it might be anabolic carrier, they pull you a

eu leaders are meeting in brussels. david cameron has been handed a euro billbillion because the economy is doing so well in the united kingdom. mark -- is perhaps think about challenging the requirement from brussels to pay more money because of his success. a lot of it has to do with accounting. illegal activities taken into consideration. drugs, prosecutions that would boost the gdp. the oldest professions in the world. let's have a look at the united kingdom's. more sense up 1/3 of 1%. intercontinental, if you're thinking ebola and escalation -- this personifies very clearly the concern. group.rnational hotel iag is the former british airways. immediately, you can see ane ebol impact. let's see whether air france/klm is turning up in the left-hand side. the dax. a little bit of buffering going on there. i will take you into this zone here. basf. i interviewed the ceo. he said he had never seen such a drop in gas demand in his numbers. chemicals business. they are cutting their 2015 targets, their profit targets. 12

it's now facing a demand from brussels for an extra $2.7 billion. netherlands too faces a big biel. $800 million or so. in contrast, france is set to get back $1.3 billion, while germany will get 985 million back. let's get more on this with john redwood, a conservative member of parliament, a very voluable euro skeptic. this is simply the eu commission playing by the rules, isn't it? this is the way it's supposed to work if your economy grows faster than expected, then you have to pay a bit more in terms of eu contributions. >> no, i don't agree with it at all. the rule in a democracy is that you need the consent of the people to the taxes they pay. and you don't go back over pas years. and what we see is the european union trying to get britain to impose taxes for past years which they'd signed off before as a different level. there's no way that the united kingdom parliament should now vote to impose higher taxes on the british people to meet this back dated demand that many of us don't accept. >> i come back to the point that rules are rules, an

affected with ebola, he returned last tuesday, october 14th, his flight path was from new guinea to brussels and into new york. the doctor called 911 and was transported from his upper manhattan apartment just before noon by an especially trained hazmat unit. it's equipped with personal protective gear to treat hazardous situations, he was taken to bellevue hospital in manhattan and that is where he is being evaluated and treated and the commissioner of health issued a statement saying that this hospital is prepared to handle a case of ebola if this is to be confirmed as such. in this release it reeded in part, that bellevue hospital is designated as the designation and treatment of possible ebola patients by the city and state. new york city is taking all necessary precautions to assure the health and safety of all new yorkers, we could know as early as this evening, tonight, if this is a confirmed case, for sure in the next 12 hours, they are working to trace all of those that may have been in contact with this doctor. they want to take all the precautions as necessary. it's a serious matt

the brussels flight to brussels -- brussels air flight to brussels is not a satisfactory solution.derson, the answer, according to the officials, is isolate ebola, don't isolate the countries. but the reality is fear is now so strong that it's going to be left to militaries and professional aid organizations to get people in and out. >> all right, richard quest, i appreciate it. thanks very much. richard, again, we'll check in with you throughout the day. there's been a lot of heat on texas health presbyterian hospital and likely a lot more to come today. a national nurses group claiming the proper procedures were not in place to take care of ebola patients. we'll talk to the head of the american nurses association next. ya know what salesman alan ames becomes? i think the numbers speak for themselves. i'm sold! a "selling machine!" ready for you alert, only at lq.com. when i had my first migraine, i was lucky. that sounds crazy, i know. but my mom got migraines, so she knew this would help. excedrin migraine starts to relieve my pain in 30 minutes. plus, sensitivity to light and s
