juliana was just tweeting about it i think their guidance when it comes to raw material costs is quite interesting. they said that they're expecting some of the inflationary cost pressures to subside axo-noble is one of the leaders in that pack this morning. basic resources also in line with some of the chinese equities also having a good day household goods up .7% on the down side, we've got the defensive sectors, utilities struggling a little bit. down .5% in media. overall, though, sentiment very positive u.s., aidsa, and europe at the start of the day jowlana. >> excellent well, let's get right to our top story of the day of course, brexit. theresa may will offer mp's a choice between her brexit deal and a delay. akrkd to our kmeef brexit negotiator in remarks overheard by an itv reporter political correspondent angus robbins. he reported the civil servant said the e.u. would agree to extend negotiations in the end brexit secretary steven barkley rejected the idea saying it is not the government's position. meanwhile, the mp reports that theresa may told business executives that ek

let's get out to my colleague eunice yoon who has more >> thank you so much, juliana.u know, president trump said that he wanted to make sure that this deal was gone right, and the u.s. negotiators had put out a lot of demands, especially for the north koreans to address an important nuclear reactor complex. the north koreans said they wanted to have economic sanctions lifted of course, mike pompeo had said in the past that the u.s. wasn'ting to do that and to do it very rapidly, and at this press conference where he was there with president trump, he said that the talks broke down on sequencing as well as timing. president trump said that the two left -- the two sides left in friendly terms, and that he still needs very much in north korea's potential. >> if you think of it, you have one side, russia and china, and on the other side you have south korea. you are stick arounded by water, and among the most beautiful shorelines in the world is tremendous potential in north korea, and i think he is going to lead it to a very important thing economically i think it's goin

let's get out to juliana in paris who has been following all of this. it's interesting, juliana. we were just talking about hermes and l'oreal both companies seem to be underpinned by continual strong demand coming out of china what more can you tell us? >> absolutely. these come on top of strong growth as we saw from este lauder more of the same, interestingly, on that strength in china. now, their growth -- l'oreal's growth in their mass market consumer products division much more subdued relative to that growth in luxury, so big divergence in terms of their divisional performance, and also, of course, that divergence in terms of regional performance with the developed markets lagging significantly behind new markets. now, i just had a chance to listen to the ceo jean-paul agon in the analyst meeting, and he very clearly on no uncertain terms on china said that they saw no slowdown in china in q4 or in january of this year also, no slowdown in travel. one of the big questions is, of course, around the sustainability of this growth in china given the weakening indicators that we

juliana is going to give us a breakdown of how markets are doing. >> thanks very much.s you can see besides me, it is a positive day for european markets right now all four major indexes are marching higher. the ftse 100 up 50 basis points. sterling reacting negatively to the pmi data out of the u.k. showing a weaker than expected drop in the manufacturing index. now, we are seeing a big day for corporate earnings a lot of the moves are driven by the idiosyncratic stories. they're largely shrugging off the data in china. a positive picture across the board. in terms of the sectors, autos are the best performing sector of the day, and that is driven by, in large part, an upgrade from morgan stanley. they raised their industry view to attractive from in line let's get into fx markets and see how the rest of the currency space is trading this morning. the pound slipping slightly about 15 basis points lower versus the dollar. it is euro is trading up about 12 basis points versus it is dollar >> let's talk about one of the top stocks today that is electrolux, which has post

let's get to juliana in london live with more on those details. big bank reporting some big numbers. what did he have to say? >> yes, indeed barclay's has reported a beat on fourth quarter profit before tax, although full-year profit did miss expectations. this comes after the bank took a 150 million pound brexit provision. really follows what we've seen from the other u.k. banks. hsbc and rbs recently announced similar provisions now, barclay's reported a dif debd of 6.5 pence per share and said it intends to grow that progressively, and will consider additional returns, including buy-backs as soon as practical quite strong language around the potential for further returns from barclay's now, as you said, we did get a chance to sepeak to the ceo earlier on the show. take a listen to what he had to say about the fourth quarter earnings results demonstrated that they're on track we have recapitalized the bank we have put all of our legacy issues behind the institution. we have clean air in front of us now. >> now, dom, you mentioned that the barcla

juliana. >> thank you so much for that excellent clarity. as always, we'll be continuing to keep an eye on developments over in beijing. now here in europe, i want to give you an update on how things stand. we are now just over an hour into the european trading session, and the stock 600 is currently up just under 20 basis points, but it's really been a morning where stocks have struggled for direction. we saw stocks dip early on, and now we're seeing a little bit of a recovery here, but no major moves. remember, in addition to watching headlines around u.s.-china, investors are also digesting a double whammy of weak data yesterday. we had the german gdp print come in flat for q4, and then, of course, late in the session we had those weak u.s. retail sales numbers come in. plenty on the data side for investors to digest. in addition to u.s.-china, in addition to more corporate earnings let's get into the european regions and see how trade is shaping up across the block, and it is -- we are seeing some signs of divergence. as i mentioned, it

president got a heads-up from roger stone after stone said he had spoken with wikileaks founder julia julianaan assange, and he said he was aware of those e-mails that were dumped before they were dumped. is that a crime? >> it obviously san allegation of michael cohen at this point, but it is a very, very serious one. i don't want to judge whether it's a crime or not, i'm not a prosecutor, but i think it's a very important piece of evidence in the investigation of whether the president's campaign or the president himself was somehow involved in the russians' efforts to interfere in our elections. it's important to put that call into context. if indeed that call occurred, it was just two or three days before a major dump of hillary clinton's e-mails from the democratic national committee, and there's a lot of coincidences piling up there. so i think krocorroboration is going to be very important here. >> what would you like to see happen at this point? >> we're trying to see things confidential, and we've had hearings when we can. but i think we need to distinguish whether there was a relatio

we had reached out, started talking with larry and john and everyone involved, and miguel and juliana, and said this is going to happen. this is going to happen because it's the right thing to do. and many people said, why do we need a p.l.a.? what's the reason for a p.l.a.? we have a good contractor. why do we need this. but when you think about this, it's not about what can happen today, it's about what can happen in the worst times. it's when we have a recession, when people aren't thinking about what can happen in the future and when things turnaround, because at the end of the day, it's about protecting workers, it's about the advancements we've made in city build and local hiring. it's about protecting the advancements we've made in our l.b.e. community. it's about expanding the opportunities for everyone and ensuring that we lead not only for california but for the rest of the nation. this is a historic framework. i know that larry and the city administrator and all their team and l.b.e. community are going to come together, and they're going to negotiate in the next year a won

that's expected to take place in japan between the newly installed chairman of renault and -- nancy >> juliana, let's start with the carlos ghson factor first. many were looking for that charge that the company took it was expected that it would be around that 9 billion yen figure that we had. 9.232 billion to be exact. representing $84 million in underreported income, salary, and bajz that nissan says are tied to carlos ghosn's time at the company. although, keep in mind carlos ghosn has denied charges of misrepresenting his compensation the fact the company is even taking this charge on the quarter could have implications for the case going forward set that aside for a minute because that is really just a small piece of this company's overall operating profit picture. i think the number that investors are really be interested in and will react to when nissan shares open tomorrow in japan will be the cut in the operating profrt full year forecast for are this year we are talking about a downgrade to 450 billion yen that compares to 540 billion forecasted previously. many sl raised concerns ab

trump campaign had asked roger stone to find out what was in the emails, why would i have to go to juliana's: so if you really wanted to help russia would want to spike natural gas prices because that's the russian economy. in the fastest way to do that would be to take the richest natural gas field in the world off-line with the green new deal. the very people who are saying that the united states should stop the production of fossil fuels are training, claiming that trump, who promotes the production of fossil fuels is somehow an russia side. it seems insane to me. >> in fairness, trump gets inn trouble sometimes. i think in 2016, russia, if you are listening, look the other emails and things like that and there are moments where the helsinki summit from last summer is another example of where he will say things that i think most people,in including myself what sort of scratch our heads and say where is this coming from? why is he being so deferential to putin? to what we haven't seen is any kind of follow-through in terms of the policy. >> tucker: the bedrock interest. >> nor have we seen
