including scathing criticisms of angela merkel. painting in a less than flattering light. >> considered the architect of german reunification, but during his 16 years in office, he continued to be a polarizing figure. >> for giving her failure to stand by his side when he was later mired in a political donations scandal. misses merkel couldn't hold a knife and fork properly. the way she used to hang about a state dinners meant that i had to frequently tell her off. the chancellor has not reacted publicly to the insult. >> but i have no comment to make. >> a former soviet leader was not only a contemporary of coal but a man he once hailed as a friend. now in cole's view, gorbachev does not deserve the historical legacy he has been credited with. he saved some particularly sharp words with former german president, a colleague that walked away from coal. he is a monumental traitor and a loser to boot. he has nothing but bad luck. the candid interviews being published is adding depth for the for medical postwar politician. already caus

the figures are fueling criticism of angela merkel's economic policy, and there is no shortage of advice from all corners. >> we do not need to work toward zero deficit. that costs too much. >> we've taken the wrong direction. putting the minimum wage in place, higher retirement costs that is all weighing on growth. >> angela merkel is facing pressure at home. solutions are needed now, not later. the wall street journal reports paris and berlin are identifying initiatives to boost growth in europe by 2017. the goal to head off a lost decade, the threat of the long economic stagnation in europe. >> not very rosy there. >> read across the board -- we are seeing red across the board in europe. the cac and asked each down about 1%. -- and the dax each down about 1%. industrial output fell by 1.8% in august. both france and the u.k. have reported that inflation levels fell to a five-year low in the month of september. one thing we have been keeping an eye on in the markets is the price of oil, which has been dropping steadily. on monday, brent crude fell to about just -- it to just about $88

merkel has stood in the way of a recovery in europe long enough. i believe that she will respond, if not from the pressure from the other countries or the european central bank, but to the radical right in her country. which can't be happening with these recent macro economic figures. that's who they fear there. remember, german politics is mired in history. merkel's tight-money philosophy is all about trying to avoid a hyperinflation scenario, that indid bring on the third reich. but she's also cognizant that deflation could do the same thing. it was the deflation of the great depression that allowed hitler to get elected. he did get elected. and that's what could change the equation. fear of deflation could finally force merkel to do the right thing and embrace stimulus. second, if merkel does blink, i think money will gravitate back to europe, as growing countries beget healthier currencies. that means the dollar could get weaker, which would be huge for the multi-nationals. and i think the idea that this could happen is resonating right here, r

obviously angela merkel once that path. wants the sanctions to end wantsckly as possible and the chinese assistance in getting the russian president to do what western europe would like to see. the chinese here also have interest in picking up some of that trade that the germans are leaving on the table and russia. the next place the premise or , -- go is course anddebate of germany not just in russia not just in china that washington dc as well. i will start with bond yields. year, not ah, 10 big deal. but when i look at where we came from the start of the year, what is your take? >> i think the bond yields will continue to tighten. bad news, because europe is on the edge of deflation and the ecb does not have enough dry powder to intervene. it doesn't have the follow-up of sovereigns, some governments have opposed the plan. the market believes that the ucb -- ecb will be sovereign to. but i don't believe that will happen. boones are still going to be there but everything else is on the edge of a bigger selloff. price and

angela merkel has set not much onthe mood to recant sanctions.eting today in brussels. the european leaders are there today. what do you make of those comments overnight from angela merkel? man chancellor is well aware of any economic damage that these sanctions and conversations that russia has introduced might be causingthe. she is steadfast. she sees no reason to to remove the sanctions that exist not against russia. -- now against russia. she spent a couple hours in a one-on-one meeting last friday meeting with putin. it was then that she formed that view. there has not been enough change. lowering o see a sanctions. fshe seems to be prepared to ignore the pleas from business leaders. she also said -- not just sanchez -- sanctions against russia, but more hope for ukraine. if you remember, the russians tuesday.nians met ioon the ukrainians turned around and went to the european union and said, we do not have any money. can you give us some? it sounds like the german chancellor has thought about it, and that is a likely scenario come monday. m

merkel. the first leg of his european countries trip. but what does it mean area -- mean. >> germany and china a very important relationship. weakening at the moment. if this relationship starts to falter and we had a problems. or theher the chinese germans wanted to falter. when he comes he brings the team and that is evidence that the fact -- of the fact that the chinese are treating this relationship seriously. entire are you the chinese and german cabinets will have a meeting today. he is several hundred is this people. there will be a meeting of business leaders in hamburg. 500 of them in fact. for china it is simple, the european union is its biggest trade partner. germany is one third of that. they are concerned about faltering growth and this is a no-brainer. in addition to more trade they want more technology, and this is increasingly a theme for the chinese and all of their trade talks. for the germans, and equally important picture, you know that last month they saw the sharpest mo

that merkel mean has already given mario draghi the nod?i can't comment on that but over the last five years he has tread a very fine line. you had better follow-through, and right now the french -- >> will the french back down? the italian budget as well. on the monetary policy us well he has summoned to say about politics and fiscal policy. >> i imagine he's feeling squeezed at the moment. at thesitting here trading deck this morning, how do i read this? is becoming increasingly likely because that is probably the more obvious story and therefore i can bid stocks? i am being hawkish but we will end up blocking and the germans will be difficult in the hedge fund will become a problem and will have a big fight in the center of europe? it is a difficult choice. think the ecb have already moved to a point where they're trying to do more. over fore to get quantitative easing is still very high. if you look at his comments -- do not accept the french budget, politically. this will have huge fallout. as you said the bundesbank is not the governm

has angela pressure merkel been under? >> that is the other part of the debate.the biggest drop since 2009. no one here in europe is sensationalizing this, but it is a cause for concern. germany really is on the brink of recession. we could get another one. this is the other side of the debate. you have pressure on angela merkel to change her approach there you are looking at the equity market in the u.s. opening any minute now. but look at the bond market. you have got yields in germany on tenure money. is exactly the same as japan. guess what everyone is asking the germans -- why are you balancing the books when you can borrow money so cheaply and you should be stimulating your own economy? now, germany is accounting for one third of eurozone gd the. when they get in trouble, you know it is a cause for concern. >> john in london, thank you so much for that. let's come back here to washington for a moment. tim geithner said a failure of aig may have caused mass panic. the former unit -- new york fed chief testified yesterday about a bailout in the company. play

the pressure is mounting on angela merkel.esterday, we saw the federal government putting growth forecast significantly. is germany headed for a recession? -- let's gorankfurt to frankfurt. do you agree? good morning. at this stage, recession fears are probably not fully justified. germany -- the german economy has lost a lot of momentum this year. production turned out very weak. we think the economy may still eke out positive growth figures for q3. >> i have read a lot of editorials saying this is the turning point. this is the moment angela merkel concedes that it needs to be spending more, that it needs to be the demand driver. i'm pretty surprised by the editorials. the message i'm hearing from berlin is the exact opposite. if you look into the source of the slow down, external demand has weakened. we saw softer global demand from china and the u.s.. up ais going to pick little bit, especially from the u.s. and china. russia,is in geopolitical risks, it is impacted the investment climate. softer.nt has been much when he t

you have merkel. why not increase labor market mobility?can't the german government borrow over 10 years and stop trying to balance the books? why not? >> interesting idea. we know the political constraints in the monetary union and i am skeptical that something along those lines will come up in the near-term. so, the ball is back in the courts of the national government in the short-term. texas -- context, the allowance of fiscal slippage in spain, italy, and includes an budget executions are good. not sufficient, given the scale of the problem. that, given our approach to what can be , there is expectation of growth lower and the risk is a problem which i think is difficult to contrast with what we are discussing at the moment. let's great insight from the italian. it matters. renzi is getting started. he may be on his way out. he plans to step down as the chief when the merger is completed. a bloomberg news reporter. longest-serving ceo of any european automaker. you could call this the end of the era. >> yeah. yeah. sure. the five-year

witha merkel is meeting matteo renzi. we have seen this 1000 times.at will make the change? >> numbers like that. i think this austerity debate is necessary. even if europe does do what do, whatghi wants to about basic reforms? what about the work week? what about capital development? >> you are talking about a complete revamp. firing people is sacrilege in europe. debate isbe, but the too narrow. >> you see this right now with the german 10 year yield. 0.899. wo year, we are still paying the privilege of lending to germany. they have raised the prospect of eliminating 35 hour workweek. do you feel the slowdown in europe is eroding the political will for the sanctions against russia? >> i think we have maxed out on sanctions anyway. the price of crude has already come down. there is no more appetite for sanctions. things seem to have stabilized somewhat. i'm not saying it is going to be resolved. i think it is going to look an awful lot like it looks now in three or six months. i think you will have a low level sub conflict, not quite a war. you will

whether angela merkel or the ecb chief, mario draghi. also we got stimulus from china. they will be adding to their banks to make sure that is certainly stablized. and then, let's not forget james bullard who opened his mouth and started a hint if neeessary we might see that kind of move to help prop up the markets. does all of the power lie in central bankers hand? >> well, you know, maybe a little too much. i do think that that is a major trend. i think we've got more volatility coming. i agree with brian but what is going to be the game changeer? we talked about this last week. i think the fed, the idea of the fed raising rates in 2015 is slowly becoming quite ludicrous. it is just not going to happen of the bond market is saying know. gold is stablizing. oil selling off against a rallying dollar. that will be a catalyst for equity markets to rally out of this once they figure out where the footing is. we saw huge program buying right at 10% down from the markets high to low. it was like somebody push ad button and we went straight back up this has been kind of a rea

i spoke with chancellor merkel of germany, the prime minister of italy, as well as david cameron, theme minister of great britain to make sure that we are coordinating our efforts and putting together a lot more of our resources in the african community. bottom line in terms of the public, i want people to understand that the dparns of you contracting ebola, the dangers of a serious outbreak are extraordinarily low, but we are taking this very seriously at the highest levels of government. and we are going to be able to manage this particular situation, but we have to look toward the future and if we are not responding internationally in an effective way and if we do not set up the kind of preparedness and training in our public health infrastructure here in the united states, if not for this outbreak, but for future outbreaks, we could have problems. so in the meantime, i want everybody to think about and be praying for the two health care workers who have gotten sick. those who also treated this patient, with compassion and care, we just want to say thank you to them and we are goin

we had angela merkel. we had francois hollande, david cameron, mateo renzi from italy.long with petro poroshenko and mr. putin. mr. putin had said that he was satisfied, but his spokesman then followed that up talking about disagreements, exactly as you say, steven, talking about the fact that he said some on the european side simply were unwilling to understand the reality of the situation on the ground in ukraine. so although david cameron and others thought things were positive, it seems there's still a very, very big gulf between the sides here. the europeans calling on russia to do more. russia saying you don't understand what's happening in ukraine. >> how much do you think sanctions were discussed? you know, the europeans are trying to punish the russians. the russians have imposed some tit for tat sanctions. where's that going, do you think? >> i think there probably wasn't that much discussion of it, to be honest, because i think two things really. on the european side, what they want to focus on is what they want to push russia on right now, which is doing mor

merkel has made it abundantly clear she's not loose edge the reins in her country.he could do so much if she would issue a 30-year bond to build infrastructure and put people to work. she will do nothing before zee to admit she's herbert hoofer in a pant suit. did she forget there was severe development before the third rikt took over. she forgets the economic turmoil that aloud hitler to come to power, the lessons of germany affecting the rest of the world. meanwhile, we're dealing with the panicked hedge funds and several strategies have backfired all at once. first many of the smartest people in the universe bet that interest rate his to go higher and that the fed had to tighten. remember the conference and now the fed's on hold and we don't have to think about it anymore although people still keep bringing it up. i'm sure we'll find out very big hedge funds had their heads busted today. that's a panic toward lower rates and not higher ones and people were betting that rates would go higher. that's highly unusual. we thought oil had to go up because of isis and o

the big discussion will happen down here in milan with matteo s hollande, and angela merkel. when you look at the facts, once you go beyond 15 employees in italy, you're exposed to whole new set of labor market laws and makes it very difficult to grow the difficult to adapt. italy.could change in 15 years in and out of recession. it was not the financial crisis that cause these problems. elsewhere, this is a big debate. it is the bottom markets. money atan borrow 0.9%, just off the record low. about the german bond market, check this out. -- i will tells you what it is. zero point 14%. you could write japan and it was exactly the same thing. here's the question. italy has got structural problems. needs to reform. does it point towards a recession in europe's largest economy? you can borrow money this cheaply, guy, then why not just borrow it? >> start investing in roads and the infrastructure, particularly, in the west of the country. people are beginning to complain about. there are lots of cases we could be fixing -- would provide some growth. is it going to spread out acro

at a time of economic stagnation across the eurozone, there is growing pressure on merkel's administrationo take a less austere approach. as paris commits to reducing its public spending by 50 billion euros across the next three years, it also wants germany to help out in committing 50 billion euros of investments as well. >> let's take a quick look at some of the other top business stories. russia has widened its crackdown on mcdonald's. now more than 200 separate investigations against the american fast food chain. the initial probe was launched in august over concerns of hygiene violations. many thought at the time moscow was fighting back against sanctions imposed by the u.s. and eu for the ukrainian crisis. german pilots are set for their eighth straight since april. they want to stop plans to alter pensions among them raising the retirement age from 55 to 60 years old. the toss a has canceled nearly 1500 flights over monday and tuesday -- lufthansa has canceled nearly five1500 flights over monday and tuesday. lauren fabius met with the founder of alibaba, jack ma. france wants to be
