and that we may be about to see out of the ok is probably wide of the mark, but the fact that christinearde, who navigated through the eurozone crisis, is appealing to heads of state in germany, the netherlands, in france, spain, etc., i think tells us where we are going. francine: what are you worried about within europe and the u.k.? john: in europe, we are still looking for the more quality plays within europe. the idea that we are going to suddenly see a sharp rebound coming through in some of the industrial sectors, energy, the cheap value sectors, i think is probably wide of the mark. that is probably where you are looking. also, that european consumer is doing well, the pmi show, it is the manufacturing data that is a little bit soft. the choice, rebounding global manufacturing, we are still looking to do that more within emerging markets, but if we do start to see that manufacturing recovery began to take hold, we start to see some of the flash pmi's pickups, the value change repair, e.m. should get a boost. francine: on the u.k., the market is convinced we will ca north package

i think the problem is in that moment a bit of what christine eluded to. i don't think that we had a mechanism reaching out to the saudis and iranians simultaneously at that time because of the situation that we had gotten ourselves into with iran and beginning the maximum pressure campaign. so, for us to perform, typically in this part of the world the middle east more broadly we could function as an honest broker in most parts of the region. we could say everyone sits down and let's have a talk. we could reach out to everyone, but they did not. we were not perceived quite the way we are now and i don't think we have to do. we didn't have that capacity at the time of the strike. remember if you went back to may of 2018 or 2017, secretary pompeo made a speech in which he laid out 12 demands of what we wanted from iran and as christine was suggesting if you look at those demands, it meant fundamentally regime change, change everything about the way you operate in the world. and instantly it was apparent that none of that was going to happen. it was an unrea
