. >> let's focus on france and france's future. french politicians and ceos gathered near versailles today. this of course follows a week of political turmoil. we have seen the cabinet reshuffle after the resignation of president hollande's government. caroline connan is on-site is on site with the latest on how business is responding to political change. caroline, we heard from mr. valls. >> we can say that the business community here is responding quite well to the cabinet reshuffle. they say the nomination of the new economic minister is a sign that president hollande and --me minister valls tax cuts for a company that is part of the so-called responsibility pack. yesterday was the opening ceremony of the university. i talked to one ceo. france's largest insurer. here is how he reacted to the speech. >> it is the first time we see a prime minister from the socialist party coming to meet this guy and tell you, i love you. i love corporations, the private sector, i am supporting you. we have been waiting there for a long time. --s

and for france and britain to get into this war let me just remind you that belgium and france or invaded in august one thousand fortin presenting britain specifically with a strong strategic threat and this tragic case for france and indeed belgium will remain. overwhelming up until the end of the war the enemy sits deep in national territory so i think we need to get a few thanks right before we can discuss the legacies of the war and you're absolutely right the notion of self national service from a nation is a particularly key point here because of course even though. wilson was extremely abs and when they were i guess this guy just dropped out going to join us this is cross talk you should jump in go right ahead. yeah i mean i just want to jump in and say yes france was invaded but one must keep in mind this was part of the plan this was actually a military strategy and the issue there was that the germans basically were afraid of a two front war and the german strategic plan was to defeat france quickly on the western front and before the. before they can then push their forces onto

incentive for france to reform? they have done nothing.e is pressure on them politically to do more, they just haven't. story is about domestic politics. it speaks to a broader eurozone political issue. this is the issue of germany against france. the french have not done enough yet. they are talking about doing more reforms. the economy is on the verge of recession. will they reform? record low yields in the french bond market, where is the incentive? surveillance will be here in 25 minutes time. is tomg by in new york keene it to tell us what is coming up on the show. it is good to see you. janet yellen said in jackson hole that the workforce shows significance underuse right now. is that by accident? the labor market debate was there. we saw that with the headlines over the weekend. that has shifted. europe, it is in a dovetail of labor economics with what the actual markets are doing. those record low yields in italy and nguyen negative yields in germany. we will speak with jim glassman. he is one of the great labor economists. it is a

france is a different story.ated in the first and second quarter. >> how do we expect all of this to develop into the second half of the year? i'm thinking about the sanctions environment, i guess. we don't know -- we can't know how that will develop. how do things look from here? >> unfortunately things don't look so good for europe. we have already had the business investment survey pointing to stagnation at the start of the third quarter for france. if we look at the survey for germany indicating weakness at the end of the year and the more forward survey showed a huge plunge. the growth numbers are looking pretty bad. >> for a while, it seemed that the core of europe was motoring along and the periphery was where the weak story was in the euro-zone crisis. things are turned around now haven't they? we're talking about weakness in the powerhouse of europe. but we're getting better than expected numbers from portugal and spain. we're seeing some positive signs from other parts of the the euro-zone periphery. no

i think it's right that france, like the u.s. and britain, are supporting actively the democratic forces in iraq. >> should france join with this possible plan from the united states and the u.k. to launch a rescue mission to help get the yaziidis off of the mount? >> there are different initiatives, humanitarian airstrikes from the u.s., france has decided to send arms to the fighters -- i think all the initiatives are going in the right direction. if we remember what happened in syria, france was in favor of delivering weapons to the opposition before the opposition was taken over by the islamists. france was completely isolated and the other eu states did not want to do it. now look at the situation in syria. before the islamist state takes control of more of areas -- control of more areas of iraq, it's important to help them fight back. the islamist state is not only a threat to iraq or syria. it's a threat to the whole region if we don't stop it. it could be extremely dangerous for the stability of the region and the stabili

positive for france or negative for france? redshirt must be positive for companies.l be able to borrow money for five years, 10 years. you can borrow -- a budget deficit. you have a -- if you borrow sub1.3% the better is you borrow than 2%. >> nice to see you. >> thank you. >> we're going to take a break. back in a couple of minutes. see you then. >> welcome back. you're watching "the pulse" live from bloomberg's tv headquarters in europe. oday's pulse -- 1.1 billion. 55 million active users per month. amazon trumped google's bid. we'll take a break. see you after that. >> good morning, everybody. welcome back. you're watching "the pulse" live from our european headquarters here in london. i'm guy johnson. breaking news, g.d.p. crossing as we speak. a little below estimates. we have a .6 read. just want to break the numbers down a little bit. the mining fell 9.4%. a significant part of the economy. manufacturing fell, 2.1%. ut nevertheless g.d.p. up 1% year-on-year, .6 on the quarter. let's see what the reaction to that is. it is down. the dollar is rising versus the

well they can then push their forces onto the eastern front jummy would not have invaded france had france essentially said we're going to stay out of this war in the balkans so we're not going to come in on russia's side in this war against austria hungary that would have been very simple i mean germany almost france will you stay out france said that we won't say out and hands the schlieffen plan went into operation so it wasn't just an invasion out of the blue ok gentlemen the. i was trained as a historian ok going to hear you right now did i even go ahead ivan eland jump in please i would like to talk about self-determination in sanctity of borders but go ahead ivan eland in washington yeah yeah i agree with what george said i mean i think france actually was egging rusher on a live in before the war and i think it really wanted russia to be on their side against germany because they feared germany and the brits a lot of people in the british cabinet thought well yes belgium probably will be invaded but as long as the germans just go through the southern part and then a lot of the peop

here in france at the moment. thanks for that. it's now time to take a look at the latest in sports news. >> djokovic second open to the u.s. open, while staph rencko equired two tiebreaks. the frenchman's still got a lot to battle past in four sets. >> yeah, it was a difficult first match for me who is a tenacious paper. after the first set i didn't play very well but timely i think i'm happy because i fought in the match and of course that was the main target. a titanic struggle. -- finalist jankovic and first round isn't easy for anybody for her or for me. my experience and tennis were an advantage for me today. i still think she's literally fresh for this kind of match. won 6-1, 6-2. everything is going very well at he moment. the 2004 champions league winners lead after the win in france last week. knows it will not be easy against the sight unbeaten in the three league matches so far this season. ing about football at the highest level and this point in second place in the french league the play is away. muc

high in france. he wanted to accelerate the reform. when i asked france's largest insurer about this -- what he thought about this message and the debates that was -- his response was interesting. >> it is the first time the partywe see the socialist coming to meet business guys. telling, "i love you." corporations, the private sector, i am supporting you and the success of france." we have been waiting for a long time -- the type of radical change that started with tony blair, the old labor. the support of, corporations in the u.k. >> they are comparing the prime minister to tony blair. so that was pretty interesting -- a pretty interesting message. we will be talking to many more executives here. know, he represents about 760,000 companies in france. back to you. >> thank you very much. s carolina saying, the president will be joining us on that conference. and later on we will be speaking to the director of the world bank. stay with us throughout the day for more on that. australia's biggest airli

we are going on holidays but not in france. no, not in france. one of the largest hotel andators there rose by 15% they are going to digital solutions as a way of engaging. it is all about digital solutions. they dropped. you are seeing a little bit of a juggling act going on. the real guidance was 590 million euros by the end of the year. they have trimmed it back. a shade lower on the day. very interesting guests. >> thank you. that is your market open. the ftse is by 0.5%. let's get some perspective. we have mark and mark. thanher, they managed more $2 trillion of assets. welcome to you both. >> good morning. >> look at the equity markets, a big rally. the s&p 500 as record numbers. everybody calling dead the most -- call it in the most unbull market for the is there a reason for it or a reason to love it? >> the backdrop is pretty challenging. you have tensions. you have europe rumbling on. that paints and under tractive picture but on the other hand you have a discount rate that continues to fall and also the discount rate and therefore -- i

a lot to discuss with france. right now, we see a trickle of the german inflation data and we will see what it means. we will talk about that. we have a condo mess to talk about where we sit with the debate. how much risk is europe at when it comes to the story? we talk about that with the company that does exploration and production in the region. how worried should we be about economy, and heating our homes. we will discuss that. a great show is coming up at the top of the 10:00 hour. we will look at the malaysian airlines. that is an interesting turnaround story. as as the business faring result of the attack so they endured? what will the recovery plan be and how will it work. we will work our way through and see the effects of the crisis. an interesting show and a real focus on french business and figuring out what happens next. >> talk is cheap. french politicians have a love for business and we need to see some serious policy. we will talk about that. we had to the break and take a look at european markets

france has already started provide willinging weapons. iraq not only has to tackle security issues beau political challenge. prime minister has elected to step down after eight years in power. they have largely blamed for deepening it. the u.n. and u.s. has hoped that his successor will form a unity government and ease tension. let's bring in our guests who is an international consultant. in a country where the minority seems to have been marginalized. do you think he'll actually be fit for this job? >> well, actually not only is he also shia but also belonging to the same party for if you look at his background has been a minister in the first government of the u.s. after the u.s. had an invasion. after that he was an advisor and acted as a spokesperson for the government during the last years. so i wouldn't say that this would command a lot of changes. after that what you can say is that they have been maneuvering quite smartly those last months there has been a speech which became wrath erb unnoticed in which he pronounced allegiance t

come to me and call i'm sophie shevardnadze a political earthquake has hit and frances national front isn't at the center how much are they hoping to achieve with their sweeping victory in the new elections we ask the leader of the bloc that maginot then is my guest today. just contempt of the brussels bureaucracy has broken through as e.u. voters swept euro skeptic parties into the poem but do they have what it takes to take on the system should your press be bracing for change or is this just a passing story. but in a band leader of france's front that's not welcome to the program it's great to have you here i am in a similar bend the last time i was spoke you predicted in the elections you become the number one party in france and here we are you're number one so what's the very first thing you're going to do. the first thing that i will do is constitute a group in the european parliament to be able to prevent any new advances towards european federalism which i consider to be profoundly antidemocratic i believe that it goes against the sovereignty of the people and the economic so

but in the band leader of france's front that's so not welcome to the program it's great to have you here at home and of that so many of the bend last time i was spoke you predicted in that you election should become the number one party in france and here we are you're number one so what's the very first thing you're going to do. the first thing that i will do is constitute a group in the european parliament to be able to prevent any new advances towards european federalism which i consider to be profoundly antidemocratic i believe that it goes against the sovereignty of the people and the economic social and international interest of france. so along with our allies we will now be able to provide a new voice different from the one which dominates and the european union to form a more. talk a little bit more about the european elections now when you look at the bigger picture you are skeptics are in a minority in the chamber and they are new and forming a bloc yet so there wasn't really a victory so to say why do you think there is so much talk in the press as well. in this politica

the first day on the job for france's newly reshuffled cabinet after france's prime minister fired several top left-wing ministers critical of the government's austerity campaign. the french head of the imf is placed under formal investigation here at christine lagarde has been linked to a corruption case during her time as finance minister. and gaza celebrates as a long-term cease-fire takes hold. the open-ended truce with israel is meant to stop seven weeks of fighting, but no real solutions have been found for the core long-term issues that separate the two sides. alright, it is time to take a look at what has been grabbing headlines around the world. a lot of the press today focusing on this surprise long-term, open-ended cease-fire agreement between gaza and israel. >> it is getting a lot of attention in the recent -- the regional press. this lebanese paper talks about the fact that there were scenes of celebration and euphoria in gaza yesterday. you can see a photo of those celebrations yesterday. hamas said the deal represented a victory for the resistance. the headline says that "g

hyde, let's focus on france. francois hollande has appointed a new cabinet after a revolt from the left-wing. talk about the main changes. who is in and who is out? one name to remember if you have to remember just one. emmanuelle. he will replace --. debate on the policy. he is young. 60 years old. a former banker. he used to work at the bank and negotiated the deal between pfizer and nestlÉ. that was just before president hollande was elected. been active in left wing circles. as part of the team, macron was behind the responsibility packed. reform thatship includes 41 billion euros in tax cuts for companies. played ad that macron key role in the alstom deal. he's a reshuffle the deck. these are the guys that have come in. about the impact of all of this. what will we see? these signals, they have a target of 50 billion euros of spending cuts by 2017. if this is what is being called austerity by -- and by his supporters, who are not part of the left-wing socialist party. impact onhave a big economic policy is h

>> welcome back to the france 24 newsroom. here are the headlines this hour. fresh violence in gaza. a three-day cease-fire between -- between hamas and israel comes to an end. barack obama authorizes targeted strikes in iraq to prevent what he calls to prevent what he calls a potential genocide. and the world health organization declares west africa ebola africa -- ebola outbreak in international emergency. those are the top stories this hour. first, hostilities have resumed in gaza. israel has resumed fighting. at this hour, the country's military says some 30 rockets have him fired. palestinian medics say boy was killed and six others wounded following an airstrike in gaza city. the violence comes as mediated talks in cairo failed to extend a truce. >> israeli troops were deployed along the border as the 72 hour cease-fire was about to expire. around the same time, israel announced that two rockets had been fired into the south of the country from gaza without causing casualties. israeli military says it responded to the fire by hitting what it caused -- ca

right, in northwestern france, it is the gateway of cocaine in france. that is on the front page. cocaine use to make its way through france via amsterdam and spain. things have changed. business is very good for cocaine, according to the paper. the door is wide open onto the french market, and that door is the port. pollution -- police and border officials have seen an influx of cocaine coming from south america, the caribbean. you can see a map that explains just how this traffic happened. it is smuggled into france in containers on cargo ships, and police say this is ineffective way of smuggling cocaine in because on a global level, only 1% of containers on cargo ships are actually controlled. as happens on a massive almost industrial scale. in february, police intercepted 1.4 tons of cocaine hidden in a car, in a container headed for -- this was the biggest cocaine bust ever carried out in france. >> you have pulled out two articles about the debate of can control in the united states. >> gun laws are largely stayed based in the united states. most s

have been better for france to do it two years ago. >> does france have the appetite?e have to ask that question? hollande was not elected with the agenda of doing structural reform. having said that, since april, we have had the new prime minister. much more committed to growth. than the previous prime minister. late?too littel,le, too at least they said to do something about it. >> would you buy european debt? if so, what part of europe? >> the 10-year bund is close to 1%. it might even break 1% if we have negative news on the eurozone gdp. france is 1.%. 5%. if anything, there is no value and long-term government debt. portugal offers some relative value, because the spread versus the bund is wider than it used to be. 2.6% spread. >> so equity markets are opening lower. some people say that a little bit of risk has, geopolitical risk is improving. is this aid convoy goes into ukraine, your strategy for 2014 equities.uy debt in will we see better opportunities than we are at the moment? >> since the beginning of the year, we have been buying. why? because when the mo

is geographically closer to france than the middle east is. libya is the object of less international attention -- it is at this point a failed state to read none of the institutions are working. the rivalry between the militias is a rivalry between the islamist and non-islamist militias. the fear is that it could become a safe haven for a number of terrorist groups. francois hollande said there are a number of terrorist factions operating in southern libya that are ready to strike. helplled on the u.n. to shore up the libyan state to make sure it does not become a springboard for attacks across europe and the region. >> thank you for those comments. we will go not to gaza, where there has been another encouraging sign of another cease-fire that is now in its second day. humanitarian convoy has rolled and since the first time the blockade started seven years ago. it is bringing in another food to feed a 150,000 people for five days. the truce is an open-ended one. the 50 days of fighting left 2000 people dead. outgoing president karzai may hav

against the sovereignty of the people and the economic social and international interest of france. along with our allies will now be able to provide a new voice different from the one which dominates and the european union to form a more. talk a little bit more about the european election now when you look at the bigger picture you are skeptics are in a minority in that chamber and they are human forming a bloc yet so there wasn't really a victory so to say why do you think there is so much talk in the press as well. in this political earthquake that has taken place. on the ball of all the rules of operation of the european parliament will oblige the left wing and white wing parties of the parliament the european people's party and the party of european socialists to come together to defend their stances against the euro skeptics. i think it is a moment in history where it will become apparent that there is no right or left wing that all this as a farce that in fact they defend the same ultra liberal vision the same vision of a federal europe the same vision of pursuit of the sover

s borders away from france the u.k. government has told us it's not in their plans the locals in dover tell us that they've already had enough we said there's so many that we can tell me this from says responsibility if they reaching their shores and believes that they should maintain a responsibility to go on from the flows of those sources of those it's a problem that no one wants to have isn't it back in cali dinner time is while they're here these men and women's lives are taken up by simple questions like where their next meal will come from or how they can get a shower all the authorities in france and britain continue to wash their hands of them. kalai and over. and according to french officials the migrant situation in the city is getting out of control kalai police arrested over seven thousand illegal immigrants during the first six months of the year and that's more than double the previous year. all the way here on r.t. international so be sure not to talk to a former child soldier about his gruesome childhoo

when it comes to religious communities, france is european recordholder. france is both europe's largest jewish community with about half a million members, and the

hollande, germany would end up in the same mess as france.we saw today in comments from angela merkel's spokeswoman that the government believes this would be particularly problematic for europe in general because germany remains the driving force behind european economic growth. >> indeed. good neighbors but still seeing things in a different way. let's move on. the 69th anniversary of the atom bomb dropped on hiroshima has been marked in japan. the devastating event was key to forcing the japanese to surrender in 1945. survivors of the bomb were at the ceremony which was attended by tens of thousands of people. >> eight: 15 a.m. the peace bell rings out. at that exact moment 69 years ago, hiroshima was hit i a u.s. atomic bomb. three days later, another bomb hit nagasaki. some 45,000 people -- survivors their descendents, japanese officials, and foreign delegates -- all attended the ceremony held by the japanese prime minister. >> i pledge to work hard to abolish nuclear weapons and to obtain ichiro world peace. we want to avoid the repetit

france, belgium, holland and england. my parents, my brother and sister came to france. we didn't know anybody there. and we came to col oin, france and there was a jewish organization that came on ship and they had children home in france and asked the families if they want to send the children home. so my parents didn't know what to do with us. so they sent the two boys, my brother and myself to the children's home. we went outside of paris in [ inaudible ] and three months later the war broke out and the children were sent to central fran france, [ inaudible ]. and we got there -- excuse me. we got there and they said if not going to school, we have to go to work. because all of the men in the village were prisoners of war and there was an opening in the bakery. i didn't speak a whit of france but it had to work. i started to work there and i worked there for 2 1/2 years. then one day french police came and picked me up, put me in a camp, but you have to have muscle in life. they took boys only over 16 years old and i was one week before my 16th birthday and they eras

france can't stand so much on social welfare. he did not accept the austerity measures, and felt they didn't work for spain, and wanted to go on. so he publicly criticised, so the prime minister thought that there was too much, that the red line had been crossed. and so he had reservations, so probable what would happen is that the president will appoint and invest as a prime minister. and then the prime minister will choose a government without him and a minister of economy that does not accept the austerity measures and that on welfare. >> is this an indirect attack on france's relationship with germany, and the way that germany seems to lead the fight against austerity. >> i mean, france and county germany, the euro, the deutsche mark, if you like, in the bank. the germans have shown they can make reforms made in the year 2000. and france has to show reforms. and germany made it clear it would not pay for french debt. it will not pay for french debt. francis hollande obviously has understandedly had to adapt to the internation

france is one example. it is a great example of private sector productivity with the public policy. >> i have been asking a few questions. orit the germans austerity quantitative easing? which do we get first? >> i think quantitative easing unless german politicians become so worried about the lack of wewth in germany that realized there is a need for fiscal stimulus that needs to be coordinated. just to let the shackles off i don't think is going to happen. qe first.t joining us. for up next we will talk tech. apple has investors bubbling with reports of a bigger and better ipad. stay with us. we are back in two. >> 8:25 in the u.k. let's talk tech. the largest ever ipad. >> 12 inches. we have been used to nine inches. that is the average size. larger than the average size. there are a lot of competitive up butperhaps matching, now we have learned apple is going to be releasing a 12 weight nine inch ipad. larger than the size of the ipad right now, so a significant change in this company. i think what is i

we have just heard that france will send weapons. has that news trickled through yet capital >> -- through yet? >> it has just, and it is welcome. they were expecting help from europe and they needed it. and they felt there was a moral obligation from countries such as france to reach out with help. less than two weeks ago, the pesce murdoch -- the peshmerga were completely overrun by the jihadist groups. and in the weeks since, they have been threatened on the outskirts of their capital by the isis fighters. they are simply out getting the kurds as they advance on kurdistan. >> you say things have changed in the past two weeks. is that in part due to the u.s. airstrikes echo what and if response -- the u.s. airstrikes? what kind of response has that caused? >> the airstrikes have helped. they have also allowed the rescue upwards of 40,000 to 50,000 people, members of a minority sect from mount sirjan. this has been an epic rescue led by kurdish rebels. however, they have been unsuccessful so far in getting up to 20,004 -- 20,000 mor

france. >> we are fine with it. i have met my french colleague who used to be prime minister and he will continue. economic think french policy is going in the right direction? we agree that every member state needs to do this and to be very frank, we were not doing this when the former minister of economy has been happy that it has not been agreed upon by the president of the republic, by the prime minister, the new minister of economy saying the same as the finance minister. will welcome enhancing competitiveness for sustainable growth. of course, we need to choose. we have to regain confidence. with markets, investments, and consumers to be reliable to stick with what we have agreed to again regain confidence. >> do you think france will be able to meet their deficit targets by next year? neededce will do what is in line with the rules. they have done so again and again. now we are ready and we are optimistic that they will deliver what they promised. of the economic reforms in germany, th

remember, the swiss franc. 1.2062.&p, the swiss national bank do not want it to go below this level. if the e.c.b. does more, where does it leave the swiss national bank? >> doing more, probably. certainly the message very clear. e will do more if necessary. jon ferro tracking the action. let's talk about other company news. london's property market has stagnated for a second month. values were unchanged in august. buyers are reductant to aseth sess higher prices. america is close to getting a new chief technology officer. google executive megan smith could become the third person to fill this position. google is talking of drones to handle its deliverries. small ones at least. it has been in testing for two years. they said google up against amazon what announced plans to use drones last year. all of this is happening in australia. maybe they are delivering sweets or candy. we'll need bigger ones to deliver tv's. aren't we? up next, vivendi makes a choice about telefonica and hangs up on the competition. we'll discuss

we're talking about germany and france now.d morning. >> good morning 3789 >> the data is mixed. germany is lower than the previous month but it is a beat. french data on the manufacturing side disappoints. services is better. you think things could firm up in the second half of this year? does that dats speak to that story? >> especially the german data is a lot stronger than i would have expected given the news flow out of eastern ukraine that ke have these sanctions now -- we have these sanction annoy and over indicators that investor confidence was terrible last week. this is a very resill yept robust reading. particularly for the economy which has evaded the russian impact, good news. this is a -- this is the third quarter is shaping up nicely for germany. >> last week, as you say some horrific data and the week before, with the factory orders as well. this week you see the german data coming out better. is that good news, bad news? where does this leave with us the e.c.b.? >> i think the key here is to see that the soft d
