the director's previous film, leviathan, was very well-received in 2014.enie: let's take a look at today's headlines. emmanuel macron held his first ministerial meeting today with his newly named cabinet. the independent french president giving top spots to conservatives, socialists and political newcomers. departmentstice names a former fbi director as special counsel to oversee the investigation into possible ties between russia and donald trump. the latest twist since the last fbi director was fired last week. to hold its first presidential election since the nuclear deal with the west came into play. the moderate president is going head-to-head with a hard-line cleric. time for our business news with stephen carroll. some good news on unemployment in france. >> the unemployment rate has fallen to its lowest level in almost five years. ..3% in mainland france the biggest fall was among the young. it comes just days after francois hollande left office. he staked his presidency on a promise to bring down unemployment. brian quinn has the story. for symbol

i mean, you look at the ability now with leviathan to export gas to jordan. opportunity in egypt, the discussions that are going on with other countries like turkey and even into the eu, i mean, it's pretty amazing when you step back and look at what energy can do to change the discussion. >> if gas problem got to be discerned by you guys, this is an amazing story. that is the chairman and ceo of noble energy. if you believe it will stay here or go up a little bit, we'll take a look at it after the break. >>> tomorrow, kick off the trading day with squawk on the street, live from post nine. >> how about amazon, google, facebook, how about lockheed martin? >> it all starts at 9:00 a.m. eastern. >>> it is time! and then the lightning round is over, are you ready? lightning round, let's start with frank in vermont. frank? >> caller: jim, booyah! from the great mountain state, thank you for taking my question, my question is about -- >> i think it's real, let's go to the blood brain barrier, i think they have a solution, let's go to steven in washington. >> calle

in my mind, just prove that the president has no real ability to control the leviathan on what has becomeour federal government. i think that it also come of the most important point is, the fact that it -- if it were to happen, donald trump could not have drawn a better card than to get somebody like bob mueller, who i think is very much above partisanship. he is a serious guy and certainly come at the end of the day, has infinitely more credibility than maxine waters, nancy pelosi, chuck schumer, or any of these people who have been politicizing every step of all of this. >> martha: zac, we don't know what the scope of the investigation is going to be, but we would assume that it will look into the michael flynn matter. we would assume that it will look at both sides of the michael flynn matter, whether or not there was any collusion on his part, whether or not he was involved in anything nefarious. also, the unmasking of michael flynn's name, one of the few actual crimes that we know exists so far in the story. >> one, i am hopeful that the scope of this includes the possible obstructi
