how key was this for emmanuel macron to put a close ally in the job? >> it is always a close ally when you are president. it is always a close ally when you are president. the interior minister is in charge of police and security in this role has taken a bigger importance with terrorism. all interior ministers have been at the forefront, well-known to the french people and they have a close tie to the president. it was absolutely important for emmanuel macron to a point a o appoint a-- tw close ally. he was appointed junior minister, then emmanuel macron tapped him to head the fledgling party. this was a sign of trust. now he gives him the key, juster, his predecessor, maybe a symbol but he was the number two in the ranking of ministers of the government. this is only number 11, so it does not change much. more importantly, he also has the junior minister with him, who is not known at all. important and sensitive position. he was the head of the french internal intelligence service. this is a way for emmanuel macron to convey the message, yes, he is ap

macron. one of the first supporters of macron's presidential run. so the public spat came as mr.s trying to reboot his presidency he had gone and said i will change my methods, i will observe, listen and hear the french public. now this reshuffle has been delayed. it was expected monday, then tuesday, then wednesday. then mr. macron traveled now it might happen tomorrow that gives a bit of an impression of chaos at the top >> thank you bruno, you're in paris how have the french press been reacting and how has the french public been reacting to mr. macron's missteps over the last few days and months? >> the situation is tricky you can see the popularity of emanuel macron went down over the last month so the popularity was rich at some stage, but his popularity has been damaged quite a lot already, long before the reshuffle started. it started, i would say, six months ago maybe eight months ago. and all the different affairs, also the feeling by many french that emanuel macron has lost the path where do we go exactly we've seen an amazing agenda of reform and the french have lost a

you could really feel that macron was connecting with trump. and we all know that trump is not the sentimental type. but clearly macron made him feel a way that he's never, ever felt before: human. [applause] - thank you. thank you. - i like him a lot. that's my prediction. it's only a prediction. - thank you. thank you very much. [laughter] look, like, i--i know it's-- i know it's a cliché, but that's a bromance. [upbeat percussive music] president trump was at the white house hosting president buhari of nigeria. although let's be honest. trump probably thought he was meeting with african ray charles. and things got a little awkward at the press conference, because remember last year when trump called african countries shitholes? well, that came up. - did you address his reported comments from earlier this year when he reportedly used vulgar language to describe african nations? - we didn't discuss it. - [laughs] - and you do have some countries that are in very bad shape and very tough places to live in. - "as i said, shitholes." [laughter] [

staying with emmanuel macron.the new statesman tomorrow, i think we can show it as we talk. you are looking at, as we see, europe's's civil war, in which you would argue he features quite prominently. he does. on one side you have macron and france, centrist liberal line, and france, centrist liberal line, and the other side, the leader of hungary, facing disciplinary action currently for breaching freedom of the press, cracking down on the independence of the judiciary. poland as well. and the point we are making is everyone is fixated on brexit but for the eu, in some ways the bigger headache is poland, hungary and italy. italy one of the original eu member states, now the first major eu country with a populist government in place, threatening to disregard eu budget rules. brexit for the eu is seen as containable. they believe they are disappointed britain is leaving but it doesn't challenge the fundamentals of the eu. but when you have a memberlike fundamentals of the eu. but when you have a member like italy,

this can be interpreted in a number of ways —— emmanuel macron.his opportunity to play hardball france. this is his opportunity to play hard ball and to france. this is his opportunity to play hardball and to potentially boost to some of his own figures and popularity within france to show he's willing to take a stance. george, how do you see this?m theresa may wants favours, they're not going to come from emmanuel macron. in some ways this is the mistake she's made all along, the same mistake david cameron made, the idea national leaders will come to your rescue. the eu commission takes this very strict, technocratic approach. you'll remember theresa may tried to charm macron over the summer, she went to his holiday resort. she hoped all along that angela merkel will come to her rescue. the problem is they have domestic audiences too, and they have... they're politically restricted too. this idea that the eu will come to britain's rescue will offer may a solution and an escape route... it's quite naive. the hard—line emmanuel macron is taking is

less sympathetic commentators saying the shine has come off the macron presidency. like any a party other. the pool of human resources on which he is able to draw is getting thinner. after a week or so of intense speculation in intense media -- we do not have an announcement. we do not know how many ministers are going to change hands. this is far from the slick reboot of the french government that macron supporters would have been hoping for. delano: chris moore reporting from the palace. turkish media have released images of jamal khashoggi and what they say was a hit squad in istanbul last week. a television channel in turkey aired surveillance footage of the missing saudi journalist looking into the saudi arabian consulate in istanbul last tuesday. it also aired footage of a black .an leaving later on pressure is mounting on the u.s. president to get to the bottom of khashoggi's disappointments -- disappearance. turkish officials believe he was killed and his body dismembered inside the premises. saudi arabia has denied it and granted turkey permission to shoot

this comes at a time when macron's popularity is at 30%. with me is david owens your take on the fact that he kept lemaire as finance minister, it shows they're intent on this economic reform agenda even if there's multiple costs to popular tichlt. >> popularity. the eu elections are next week do we get more completion of the single market, france has been clear it wants to put the excess savings inside the eurozone. again over 350 billion euros, mork to work with. it's all part of this bigger picture. italy wants push back on the fiscal side. in terms of macron he's trying to push the structural reform issue. >> cac 40 is the best performing european index, something most people are overlooking >>> coming up, the uk prime minister prepares to address her european counterparts as the eu warns of an increasing risk of no deal. that's after this break. - learn. when i can keep up! - anncr: thankfully, prevagen helps your brain and improves memory. - dad's got all the answers. - anncr: prevagen is now the number-one-selling brain health supple

is --ent mark lowen president macron is reworking his team. turkish officials have just been given the go-ahead to search the saudi consulate in istanbul for the missing journalist. the government critic entered their last week for paperwork and has not been seen since. brett kavanaugh sworn into the u.s. supreme court after an ugly fight in the supreme court. this is the biggest conservative majority and decades. time -- in. decades. you are starting with a warning from the imf. >> nationalist policies are putting the global economy at risk according to the imf. the organization has published its latest growth forecast. it has downgraded the rate at which it expects the global economy to grow. -- it warns that president trump tax policies are unsustainable. >> protectionism is painting a left and right future for the world. year's estimates this economic expansion at 3.7%, down from 3.9%% in july. the international lender says the tit-for-tat tariffs will take their toll. this is despite the u.s. enjoying a boost. the momentum,standing we hav

even theresa may has not confirmed yet to emanuel macron again playing power politics.ump is acted in paris and you expect him to wa nt to acted in paris and you expect him to want to see the pomp and ceremony of such an occasion celebrated. very different the whole approach and attitudes and of course the history in france than in the uk where obviously this is going to be a big and very sombre but pretty grand scale commemoration. yes be honest it is every year. it is remarkable. he has a sense of theatre, he thinks it is conveying symbolism that does not work for france. he's much more sensitive i to symbols, emanuel macron, compared to some of his predecessors. when that was the beginning of the world war commemorations, he did not turn up. and that was strange because that is his hometown and he courted a lot of controversy so again suggesting that the man of the people is not quite the man of the people is not quite the man of the people of france that he might have been on election. thank you very much for now. that is it for the papers for the time being. don't

so that's why i think macron has been going so down in the polls. >> reporter: last week emmanuel macron reshuffled the government in a bid to breathe new life into his cabinet and program. he spoke to the french people in a last-minute address, which attracted more interest for its poor lighting than for its content. >> translator: what i ask of the newly formed government is to pursue the transformations that our country needs, and to do it with the simple goal, which is to, again, take charge of our destiny. this will not be done in a day, but nothing is impossible. >> reporter: but the determination of emmanuel macron is regularly tested by strikes and by gatherings like these, by pensioners, students, civil servants, all opposed to the liberal localist vision that has made him so popular abroad. melissa bell, cnn, paris. >> and here in atlanta it's all about pride and politics. the gay community hits the streets for the annual pride parade. and if they show up at the polls in two weeks, their vote could make a big difference. we'll take a look at that on the other side of the break.

macron calling him one of france's poets. let's take a listen to both of those leaders speaking at the ceremony. century, he is the one who brought us life. to our hidden frailties, our runaway feelings, to our melancholy's and hopes. he held out the consoling mirror, which for centuries, will make our lives gentler, our tears less bitter and our joys greater. 4s wasring that ceremony our own catherine norrison. i spoke to her earlier. there were absolute going tributes paid to him at this national tribute. some of the highest praise possible. emmanuel macron said that his songs have been like soothing bombs or remedies, comforting millions of people around the world. he was praised for his use of the french language and french values. he was born in paris, but to immigrant parents who had fled armenia. macron described him as a true parisienne. he called him a poet and said that in france, poets never die. there removing words from the armenian prime minister. he said the armenians had an infinite laugh inside them and spoke

macron has tried to implement supply side structural reforms.nis not having much impact growth so far and it is having a negative impact on popularity. but he is doing the right thing. in portugal and spain, when you when you're seen as doing the right thing, the eu is more positive toward the country come even if you are breaking the rules. vonnie: what is mario draghi thinking right now in the context of european countries? o.a.t.'s, the environment generally -- it kind of depends on the italian situation. seeing anly, we are increase in core yields across the world. the ecb's big issue is inflation. mario draghi recently talked about we just picking up --orously test vigorously vigorously.rigorousl guy: thank you for spending so much time with us this afternoon. we covered a lot of ground this afternoon. what is happening in the united states and here in europe. vonnie: it is first word time now. emma: the u.s. ambassador to the united nations has resigned. nikki haley will leave at the end of the year. . she says she doesn't have anything el

french president macron celebrating the french speaking world. but critics say the event is just a holdover from the colonial past. also coming out this hour, wall street looks set for another rough day as the global stock markets slump. we will have the latest in the business update. and star wars star mark hamill gushes over an artistic tribute to his princess leia, late actress carrie fisher. our top stories, live from paris. we started in the u.s. were hurricane michael has been downgraded to a tropical storm that is slamming through georgia and the carolinas. round florida at nearly a category five strike, the most powerful hurricane on record to ever hit the state's panhandle. lk at how florida residents are dealing with the aftermath of the storm. michael torture the florida panhandle ripping trees out of the ground and shattering homes in its path. the category four hurricane is unlike anything the region has ever seen with wind hitting 250 kilometers an hour. fast enough to cause weeks of power outages. the top priority was saving lives.

starting to take a toll on him. >> even for macron. can you believe it? he's only 40 but his inner circle says his first 18 months has exused him. he lost weight. he looks exhausted. and haloed cheek, quoting. slumping popularity. macron reportedly sleeps just three to four hours a night. to the to mention late nights, hectic travel. all starting to show on his face. he's already made 66 foreign trips and three times as many trips in france in just a year and a half. he can cannot look forward to aging even more. we all know it toll took on president barack obama. >> no one said the job of president was easy. in the u.s., a display of the controversial new see yum of the bible has been found to be fake. >> the museum of the bible, it's a half a billion dollar museum erected by evangelical bill yar steve green not far from the white house. he's well-known for his ultraconservative views on contraception. at this museum five of the most valuable exhibits purporting to be dead sea scrolls have actually turned out to be fake and the daily

the french president, emmanuel macron, is the latest international leader to say that he's concerned.sh sources have confirmed they have evidence mr khashoggi

this is also a sign that president macron is exceeding in changing france's image.age. he is showing that france can be a place that is pro—business, and i think we have seen people respond to that. having said that, london has great depth of knowledge, it is ha rd to has great depth of knowledge, it is hard to replicate. it is great depth of knowledge, and its history and longevity in all that, but also as well you talk about france becoming as financial hub but also, president macron‘s popularity ratings in france itself at their lowest. does seem to be a tough battle for president macron, he seems very dedicated to that what he is offering good deals to people wanting to move there, so it is proving attractive. —— it does. i don't think london can afford to be complacent. absolutely not. the final page of the daily telegraph, you are heading to bali as you mentioned for the imf meeting, give us mentioned for the imf meeting, give us your take on the imf really pushing this message. christine lagarde again and again in the press. she believes very strongly in glob

will it actually help with macron's popularity?s not going to be an instant popularity boost because he lost a lot of popularity over the last three months. reforms, butuse of also because of this image he has among the french people. for example when he said a couple weeks ago that the french were complaining too much. haveatest call that we shows a slight rise in his popularity. it shows his approval rating to 33%. by four points it is still very low. we will have to see whether this is enough, but these limited changes in the reshuffle shows that he wants to keep his pace of reform. next on the table, you have unemployment benefits and the pension reform. obviously, a very big test ahead for emmanuel macron. now let's get straight to the bloomberg first word news with taylor riggs. taylor: francine, donald trump says he has been searching about whether his administration will participate in the saudi investment conference following the disappearance of journalist jamal khashoggi. secretary steve mnuchin will decide by friday whe

home, macron is saying we want to help, but the problem isn't here, it is local.t will dawn on mps, you didn't get a deal through, to cast the government, there could be a general election, it's a backdoor toajeremy a general election, it's a backdoor to a jeremy corbyn government. you will see a softening in position. they have relented on the size of the divorce deal, the transitional period, they've moved on a lot of things, you'll see more movement as time goes on. that's true, but ultimately it comes down to a vote in the house of commons. the government has to put something to the house of commons and whatever they put to them won't have a majority in itself. maybe there are people willing to go with it for the reasons giles has been describing, but it will also hit the country and the electorate will look at it and think, is what we're being offered better than staying in the european union, either temporarily or the long—term, and lots of people will conclude it's not. let's move on to the daily mail, and mp5 on saudi gravy train, coming off the story of t

lot of our approach and finally manual macron at the. airport just like subway trains following each other at the station now we've never seen this kind of format before on the one hand we've got the countries that are trying to push for peace in syria through the so-called asked sort of says minus iran on the other hand germany france and turkey are some of the strongest nato players in europe we cannot help pointing out that donald trump is going to be around. saturday well since this kind of event is something absolutely new and of course we understand that there is always something special in the links between all these foreign leaders it is very hard to predict the format but we did hear something about it from the russian president's press secretary dmitri peskov fronts in germany had participated in discussing serious problems and are different from the u.s. europe. days to reconcile different formats in order to synchronize our watches negotiate and to attempt to identify common topics it is hard to say right away what subjects w

angela merkel and emmanuel macron said, michel barnier is our quy: macron said, michel barnier is ourted behind him and his red lines up our red lines. but eu leaders did not wa nt to red lines. but eu leaders did not want to put the uk off trying to make this brexit deal. they tried to make this brexit deal. they tried to make encouraging noises and one eu diplomat said leaders and their entourage, they were tiptoeing around on eggshells trying not to say anything that might go down badly in the uk. we had a brexit deal was not just badly in the uk. we had a brexit deal was notjust possible, we heard that it was probable. angela merkel saying that where there is a will, there is a way. but clearly, we are not there yet. laura now, now we have got the suggestion of possible extension to this transition or in fermentation as mrs may calls it, where does she stand in terms of the plan she is still trying to say is credible? i think as ever, the first part of theresa may's strategy is to get through the day. she has a very restless political party at her back, she has no majority in the

|j than a manual macron has had three ministers resign on them. he felt there was a blame on him and he shifted the blame off him. he had warned recently that the president risked being isolated, that he accused him of lack of humility, huybrechts and he said that —— huybrechts. he said an interview think is probably going to get fed up think is probably going to get fed up with me sooner or later. sol think is probably going to get fed up with me sooner or later. so i do think that there was an unhappiness, there was obviously not very content in hisjob so he decided to go. he did not intend to go quite so soon. he did decide that he was going after the european elections in may next year. but after the criticism that he would not have his mind on the mainjob, he decided to go. what was curious was the rather bizarre manner in which it was done. thanks very much. the french cabinet having that meeting on the prospects of what happens if there is no deal on brexit. an emergency meeting going on in the french cabinet. sir david attenborough has tol

the role of the chancellor is not so powerful as the menu macron -- emannuelle macron in france. we depend on the others in the apartment -- parliament. this decision is one decision -- we all know this will be her last term as chancellor. we want to continue to govern germany. the christian democrats still have something to do for this country. it is important to have someone new to present him or her for the next election. brent: the will that be -- who will that be? >> some say there is nobody left after angela merkel. this morning, we had three candidates. brent: there isn't a leading candidate. there is someone saying -- there is not anyone saying that they will be the next chancellor. do you blame angela merkel for not grooming someone to take her place? >> this is not possible. this is not the british queen. he wanted to be his own successor. angela merkel decided to change the party and to take over the power. now she has decided to give the power back to the party so the party can decide to renew. brent: she said she would stay in office until 2021. do you see the curren

but you know, there is a book i think about macron at the same time. because usually when you ask a question to the president, he says oh yes, the answer is a and you say that's the right answer but then you say at the same time it could be be which is a left-wing answer which means that he is trying to really make a sort of comparison of the different possible responses. it's not prisoner apolitical line. as i said, he's different. he's been elected in a different way and he wants to be different so there are some measures, you say that's right-wing, some measures he's left-wing.he had is astute that the debate is not so much right against left as a debate, you know, about globalist against nationalist and he wants to be part of this debate. he's accepting this debate, but at the same time, for instance on immigration, he has a bill voted by thefrench parliament which was quite restrictive . and also he is using also the signals also for instance of commitment to the nation. you know, the flag, national ceremonies, celebration of the centennial of the

and mental macron has been saying he hopes that collective intelligence will prevail. that is important because macron has been one of the hard-liners in the negotiations to date. there was a dinner on wednesday between you leaders. and remains to be seen whether they can make any progress. there are still fundamental differences between the two sides. certainly this morning, we have not had the stern strident rhetoric that may has sometimes resorted to. david: give us a sense of what the real deadlines are. is wednesday really a dropdead deadline or is it really the middle of november? emma: these deadlines shift, don't they? basically, we had been told that there was so much on wednesday, a preliminary deadline. it conflicted mid-november or even december. there is one member state saying that the real deadline is january. that would make things very difficult for markets and companies. hard deadline. david: as if it hasn't been hard enough already. let's go to berlin with patrick donahue. angela merkel, what happened in bavaria? her csu party which has dominated bav

. >> macron said he himself would not consider a supreme court nominee once the 2020 presidential primaries had begun. will you take the same? about 2016.k you would have to go back to 1888 to find the last time a senate controlled by a different filledhan the president a vacancy created during a presidential election year. whatw full well based on joe biden volunteered in 1992 and chuck schumer and harry reid had volunteered in 2007 that who controls the senate when you have a vacancy that close the election makes a big difference. there's not a doubt on anybody's mind, if the shoe is on the other foot in 2016, have it been a republican president making a nomination to a democratic senate it wouldn't have gone through. we will see what it looks like in 2020. second, who's in charge of the senate. >> would you encourage the to fill another seat? .> of course >> will you try to encourage more the female republican women to join the judiciary committee? >> that's a really good question. we have encouraged several of our women senators to go on the committee. i intend to do that again at the b

macron was elected on a reform ticket but has become increasingly isolated.ast week his interior minister became the third minister to resign in six weeks. the government reshuffle is expected this wednesday. turkey has announced a plan to combat spiraling inflation. it is calling on private forms to slash prices by at least 10% across the board. they also announced a halt on energy price hikes until the end of the year, and an acceleration of sales tax rebates. plus firms that export goods can apply for loans with low interest rates. turkey's inflation rate rose to nearly 25% last month, and a currency crisis has sent the lira plummeting. gareth jenkins is an analyst at the institute for security and development. we asked himimow turks a are dedealing with such high inflation. gareththl::: at -- >> t there was not a an immediae impact. wewe are beginning to now sesee prices rising. in the short term, peoeople can survive. the family structure is still very important foror turkey, stl very strong. so, if one pererson has w wealth they will hehelp their famili

> i am certainly concerned that we do not have enough of an answer to the suggestions of emmanuel macroni think he deserves a more substantial answer from germany. we have to speak about the central questions of the future of the european union, and i know that the biggest challenge involves keeping the eurozone together. brent: so, is that good news or bad news for france? melinda: yes, that is a question you can pose. but the fact he raised it today, and in fact it was the concrete point in which he voiced a discrepancy with the current policy. essentially, germany during this coalition government has been asleep at the wheel. people throughout the european union feel that germany has not given the kind of leadership that it has. the fact that he referenced that point indicates to me that there are at least some of macron's proposals he does think are positive and would want to move forward on, perhaps common security and foreign policy for a start. so, i think that that is positive for france and for germany and for the eu. now, what else he would do on the foreign policy side is very

well we had a statement from angela merkel and macron who obviously been attending this serious summit here in istanbul we were fully expecting them to be question of the show she that indeed happened and they have released a statement saying that it's important that the europeans find common ground and they used that there should be some sort of. common understanding about any kind of sanctions going forward i mean i think this highlights what can only be described as fairly divergent opinions certainly between merkel and macro on on on this level it was only yesterday that the french president in sort of back when questioned about potential sanctions on saudi arabia or arms sales he had said that he didn't see any immediate connection between the murder of kush oshie and and sanctions in fact he said that if there was this kind of push from other european countries for sanctions he said that this basically amounted to what he described as demagoguery today a little bit of a softening from him saying that they needed to be this disjoint or certainly this this group european cooperatio

hinted in the media that on over twenty fifth donald trump held a phone conversation with emanuel macron and according to the media the united states and france share the same security humanitarian and political objectives in syria that is something that was said so of course will be watching whether perhaps emanuel macron will be the one who will be trying to push the u.s. to denver through here and stamboul well again i can tell you that of course we don't know what the format is going to look like because the presidents have not met like that when they want to to talk. about syria just yet so we'll be watching for you and also of course don't miss the arrivals that will be happening very soon as well all right alex easier trying to live in istanbul going to be an interesting summit today thanks very much. just on a quarter past the hour here in moscow we are back in just a moment. but politicians do something to. put themselves on the line to get accepted or rejected . so when you want to be president. or somehow want to. get it right to be close this is like the full three in the mor

mr macron called him a poet who sang as if his life depended on it.our — who was born in paris to armenian parents — had carried the country's name to the world. this year's nobel peace prize has been awarded to two people who have campaigned against sexual violence in war. one is a congolese gynaecologist denis mucwege, the other a yazidi human rights activist nadia muraid. —— mukwege. the nobel committee said they wanted to send a message of awareness that women are being used as weapons of war and the perpetrators should be held to account. our chief international correspondent lyse doucet reports. a peace prize to fight one of the worst weapons of war — sexual violence. 25—year—old nadia murad was brutalised by islamic state fighters. it all came back when she returned to her village in northern iraq last year. horrific memories of being raped every day for months. her mother and six brothers killed, when islamic state stormed into the yazidi heartland, including their village. nadia spoke of it when i met her in new york with her lawyer amal cloo

do you think macron would have signed up? will he relent on that? be stopped by macron. what will theresa may say? only one of us has got a book out about britain's success. well, you can't go half, you are a brexiteer now. no, i am not. i am not a brexiteer, i am a remainer who knows the fact that brexit is going to happen. at the centre was a stage upon which things were played out. in labour, issues were debated and there were real policy arguments. now, of course, there is so much pressure on theresa may for the speech to go right. every single conference is the most important speech but this really is crunch time. whereas in labour, it was between basically the unions on the one hand and momentum on the other, for control of the hall. there was all of this energy and basically momentum won. the sea of palestinian flags and the conference hall was united. we want to know what theresa may has to do in her conference speech now. is her option, as stephanie outlined, what will she say? she needs a very low bar. she needs her voice not to go, her st

then the last forty minutes we've seen the plains of bangalore mark whole lot then finally emmanuel macron touched down at the airport they were like subway trains on a platform fall weighing one another and again this is something that's never happened before it's an explorer. on the one hand we've got the countries that are trying to push for peace in syria through the so-called asin approach says minus iran and let's just not forget that right now turkey is pretty much on a mission that it's set for itself to really squeeze out all the news for terrorists and the rest of their allied terrorists from the province of idlib in syria on the other hand germany france and turkey are some of the most some of the strongest nato players in europe and we cannot help pointing out that donald trump isn't going to be around in a stamboul on saturday well since this kind of event is something absolutely new and of course we understand that there is always something special in the links between all these foreign leaders it is very hard to predict the format but we did hear something about it from the

instead of late—night brinkmanship, there was a beer drinking for angela merkel, emmanuel macron andt band of other eu leaders last night. but will be idea ofa leaders last night. but will be idea of a lovely transition make it easier to say goodbye to the uk? maybe. if the uk decided that an extension of the transition period would be helpful to reach a deal, i am sure that the leaders would be ready to consider its —— it positively. maybe not. the key element for a final deer is on the british side. number10 believes, as angela merkel says... weather is a will, there should also bea weather is a will, there should also be a way. evenif be a way. even if the idea quickens the pace in brussels, it might get stuck at home. we are negotiating in good faith and we will keep our nerve. the cabinet is nervous. very nice to see you. and whether former leavers oi’ see you. and whether former leavers orformer remainers, it has riled tory mps. the most common phrases, just get on with it. if this means more prevarication and not bringing pressure to make decisions, it opens up pressure to mak

i don't necessarily think that the -- that either merkel or macron were that gullible and both know that and have said, particularly macron, that's not what's going to happen, but still, this is an interesting sort of evolution where russia will be playing on another front and at the same time there is a legitimate question of at some point, hopefully after, that syria also needs syria's reconstruction. mary anne, what's your take on this? >> on the meeting? >> the meeting, yeah. >> the meeting is interesting in one respect in that it involves the russians and turks that this is happening and it does not include the iranians. russia, as we said earlier, russia's interest in syria is different from the interests of iranian regime in the syrian regime and the involvement of merkel and macron in the talks is actually positive for us because it shows that there may be some kind of a breakthrough in the position where they need the international community's support in order to continue their legitimate -- being legitimate actors in the international community. it is very well-known fact from

is a technician, prosecutor of france or someone like a politician. , emmanuel macron is choosing onest faithful allies. he is a former socialist mp who has been at his side since the beginning of the presidential election. his spokesmanwas during the presidential election, so very faithful faithful -- faithful ally, castaner. some ministers were considered less efficient than others such as culture and agriculture. who isr right-wing mp named cultural minister. this was complicated, because emmanuel macron had to find the right balance between men and women, right-wing and left-wing, politicians and civil society. connan in paris. let's get to our stock of the hour and we see volvo slumping today after warning on a faulty omissions part. they are recovering a faulty component of trucks sold in the manufactures come a major markets. the cost could be material, affecting trucks in major markets says volvo so we are seeing the role second-biggest truck maker down more than 5%. don't forget, bloomberg's terminal users can interact with the charts we have been showing gobloomberg tv using

macrone the emmanuel administration, waiting for a re-launch, but it is struggling to make headwindst had a bit focus -- big focus on headwinds. where does the reform agenda come from. -- what is the reform agenda come from? >> there is a crisis big enough to really trigger integration. -- is weaker. there is a boom of opportunity that opened last year after macron -- the german indexes closed again. [indiscernible] the big european leaders are leading towards -- integration. guy: we are going to leave it there. we are having a few issues with sound quality on the line, so we will wrap up the conversation. to somelet's get back of the political stories today, tensions rising between the u.s. and saudi arabia, president trump saying mike pompeo is meeting with the saudi king. quite theas statements. ofsident trump almost sort let the cat out of the bag on behalf of the other governments, sounding to me like these could have been rogue killers. this is the first time that there was acknowledgment that the saudi journalist may be dead. >> did was very unusual comments from the president
