it's more difficult to appeal a uk cma decision we're going to get a sense from this cma, i think, let'sall it towards the end of january in terms of their phase two findings that could give us a real sense as to how they're coming out on the transaction. not a lot at this point to really go on they look at things different than we do in terms of their antitrust law as opposed to what we look at you can do a quick appeal, but as you just heard me read from jpmorgan, and it is true, there's a harder burden of proof there. so, that is right now where at least the investment community is most focused in terms of a true impediment to this deal not this case, at least, from the ftc, not the prospect of the eu, which most believe will, you know, maybe there will be some remedies but will say yes, and not even the antitrust authority in china it is the uk's cma finally, jim, let me just end on my points here were this deal to break, for whatever reason, perhaps opposition from the cma, perhaps you get to july 18th and bobby codic says, i'm not going to extend our merger agreement beyond the ter

the cma also suggest that different competitive effects might be present in the online channel.or the president, grocery -- coordination may be viewed as unlikely. the cma believe that delivery charges, that time slots consumers are able to choose our highly visible and important strategic sort choices. coordination on these terms would be made more likely. i expect we have to -- ftc's staff will be looking carefully at similar issues arising in the u.s.. my final comment is on the design of the divestiture package. in 2017, the ftc published a retrospective study of the revenues opposed on private cases. an important finding was that divestitures are much more likely to maintain premerger level of competition then ongoing businesses divested, rather than a limited set of assets and that might require dependence on other firms. in the current case, this suggests appropriate divestiture might not only involve the divestment of stores or the merger might reduce local competition, but also distribution centers, trademarks, and manufacturing for private products and digital assets,

cma has a process, so i lot of the filings that go through that are made public.has been the main complainant. they are concerned about what having activision's library of games would make microsoft the more appealing platform than playstation. caroline: thank you so much. we also want to thank phil spencer. because we are going to update his photo. we want to stick with gaming, but should -- shift gears. we talked a lot about content moderation and freedom of speech on mobile platforms for a new report by the anti-defamation league suggests we look at it from a gaming perspective. according to this report, white supremacist ideas gain significant exposure through online video games this year. one in five adults reported being confronted by white supremacist ideologies. that is more than double the year earlier. here to discuss, daniel kelley. the data is significant. it is also being targeted at children as well. 15% of preteens. talk to us about the response from the companies. the kind of games we are seeing this involved in and how they are tackling it. >> rig

cma's will keep the traditions, right? . >> exactly.et it in that, you don't give different gender awards for the tech people or for directors or anything like that but as an actor you're portraying a role that's necessarily male or female most of the time so that's why they split it up that way. when somebody is an accountant, you don't need to say are you an accountant or account ress the shows will them come in at around eight hours instead of 14. men will say, this isn't fair. we need a separate category for women and then they will have that category and all those awards will be won by men who now identify as women. so it will just keep going around in a circle. >> it's so true. being old school, the academy awards should stick with the tradition. let the newer shows change and then they will have the status of being unchanged. what do you think? >> that would make sense. they are desperately trying to be relevant so in a way this is a cry for attention. people in hollywood are very self-important. they think whatever they do peopl

i ended the book, one of the fun discovery cma and was that george richardson had kept a notebook of really outlined. he gave his last sermon and returned to minnesota in 1909 or something. he gave one last sermon in one of the churches, and he described his life journey and used the metaphor from jacobs wrestling with god in the middle of the night. jake up in the book of genesis is attacked by a man in the dark, and they wrestle all night. this man breaks his hip, not only in the morning does he realize that he had been wrestling with god and survived. so, george described his whole life, this feeling as jacob always wrestling with god, having broken -- i don't have a good hip either. he lost his faith more than once, but somehow, he got back, and his answer, yes, the rhetorical question of how did i make it through all this? the answer was through the all muddiness in the form of love, the divine love to help him up. that is my optimistic note. i am preaching. >> a man, i can hear it. we are going to close the shortly, and i just have one last question, and it's through you. >> ca

you mentioned the cma.t down almost 3% this week on pace for its first monthly loss in three. both bank of america and cowens, i'll get into specific names, are betting big on nvidia. bank of america analysts say, quote, a soft landing could drive hard takeoffs in chip stocks really, that's a bet that the recession won't be that bad. we can see nvidia shares are down over 41% right now year to date cowen also bullish on nvidia said russia problems and crypto pain are added to the equation as well and nvidia will be a winner in a.i. we're talking about a bigger call from evercorps. they are arguing that bottom is in the index is clearly falling much more than the s&p 500 year to date. that was the chart we just had before and the drivers for that rebound is the china reopening, this is according to them, memory market bottom, and although we've talked about this quite a bit, inventory levels have been high with a lot of customers they believe had that companies will continue to keep that buffer higher level

but what has not come out is whether the nfsp, or the communication workers union or the cma, exactlyice are investigating whether there's a link between the incident in oxshott and the raid on the chelsea winger�*s home at the weekend. he flew back from the world cup in qatar on monday to be with his family. a 28—year—old man has been charged with a public order offence after an egg was allegedly thrown at the king during a walkabout. these pictures were filmed immediately after the incident outside luton town hall yestwerday. bedfordshire police have not named the suspect. in a statement they said he'd been charged under section five of the public order act and he's been bailed to appear at luton magistrates' court on the 9th of january. now it's time for a look at the weather with louise. you weather will be dominated by the cold over the next few days and there's the potential for some snow showers. this one is being driven along by a brisk northerly wind, the air source along by a brisk northerly wind, the airsource coming along by a brisk northerly wind, the air source coming fr

you know i welcome any investigation in start by the cma to look at how the sector works.uilding and actually getting britain building because home ownership is now out of reach for far too many young and far too many families , home ownership is families, home ownership is falling under the conservative. it's labour now organised homeowners. i know you are very good with of former bank of england official you all know that under brown and blair that was when social the building of council houses plummeted. right well labour's in the early years of the last labour government was to get social housing up to a decent because in the eighties and nineties the quality of council the social housing fell to such a terrible standard with kitchens and that were way well past their sell by date where you had a windows, a mould and damp and that's we prioritise improving standard of council housing. but absolutely we need to be doing more to invest in housing especially at a time when rents in the private sector are so high the policy is so much a housing is so poor and just final qu

this is also about the uk, cma and european commission.se two jurisdictions, if they bring lawsuit to block this deal, it is much more difficult for microsoft to challenge them in those jurisdictions and overcome the lawsuit i like to highlight one thing in the complaint and this was in the complaint. it was the second paragraph of the ftc press release announcing the lawsuit. they highlighted when microsoft acquired bethesda games in 2021, they made representations to the european commission that they would have no incentive to foreclose those games from rival consoles economically it was in the best interest to continue to offer those games to people like playstation. that was early 2021. already they decided to make those games exclusive to microsoft x-box. i think that tarnishes the trust the ec has when the ec cleared microsoft's acquisition to bethesda, they highlighted that microsoft made representations that they would not have any incentive, economically, to withhold games. that was front and center in the ftc complaint. >> is tha

in that specific case the cma ended up deciding even though they believed that transaction was bad forther reasons, that actually the waterbed effect was not something that was going to be a significant result of that transaction. that's result of specific investigations. what i would also say is one important value of funding for the agencies is the fact they will have the ability to be able to go to court, if they need to, without possibly sacrificing kind of other priorities. so when i was at the ftc we often had to discuss kind of the resource constraint that affected the ability of the agency to potential use its own expert on location to reduce costs because if we would do that we would have to pull people off other investigations. it's very important. >> okay, i get it. all right. you want to add anything, mr. needler? >> i think one thing i've done a lot of transactions where i bought small stores, i bought a little companies come in my experience and does translate to a better experience for the acquisition and mergers that i created did translate for better consumer outcomes.

that he would like to see a competition and markets authority inquiry into the housebuilding and the cman the new year in january because feels rightly in my because he feels rightly in my view. i've written about it for many the property many years that the big property companies , they're too powerful, companies, they're too powerful, they're dominant they're an they're too dominant they're an oligopoly, if you like . they oligopoly, if you like. they dominate the market and there's not enough competition. and that's reason, in my view, that's a big reason, in my view, why house prices stay high and why house prices stay high and why so many people get a raw deal why so many people get a raw deal. yeah. thank you, liam. brilliant, as always . right. brilliant, as always. right. there's touch. there's a poll there's a touch. there's a poll going on. get in touch. getting touches about on twitter. touches about that on twitter. i'm you, than 10,000 i'm asking you, more than 10,000 ambulance drivers go ambulance drivers will go on strike christmas strike over the christmas period. them or
