there's no newsline. in the david attenborough interview, we got some news lines. science editor, david shukman, so we could speak about ocean pollution and acidity, the bleaching of the coral reef, climate change, there was a big report about the increasing acidity of the oceans that day and it gave us an opportunity to get onto that subject on some major output. the interview was put first, and all the tv bulletins ran it from breakfast to the news at six. it takes up more than three minutes on the six o'clock news, there are probably two other stories that were not covered properly as a result. we covered a lot of important stories that they like brexit and the rohingya muslims. you made the point that the newspapers covered blue planet ii that morning as well. we weren't alone in covering it and we don'tjust cover bbc programmes. recently we covered the start of the crown on netflix, bake—off on channel 4, it's judged editorially, and we don't make a decision based on whether it is a bbc series or not. we know there are a lot of budget cuts affecting bbc news r

other hand, says demand is at multiyear highs for more, let's bring in steve millinovich on the cnbc newsline got the report out of nikkei and then the research note that you write saying survey results encouraging. which one is it? >> yeah, sara, it's probably both demand and production are two different issues on the demand side, the research survey shows that 19% of people are saying that they are going to buy a smartphone in the next 90 days, which is the highest since 2014 and of those, 69% are saying an iphone, which is also the highest since we entered the iphone 6 cycle three years ago, so demand, we think, for the new iphones is generally strong and specifically 43% said they are planning on buying the iphone x, which, of course, is the most expensive model. i think the demand is very strong production, on the other hand, i think is lagging i think a 50% cut on the 8 is unlikely i don't think it's that big a cut, but certainly our survey work does suggest the 8 is not off to the normal start you see in september from a new model. >> yeah, talk a little bit about these technical issue

joining us on the squawk newsline, michael pacter great to have you with us. >> thank you, melissa. >k it was as good a quarter as a 9% pre-market gain was telling us? >> except for that dodger loss because i am on the west coast it was actually really good results. everything else is great, they have expenses under control and they surprised us a bit by growing both domestic and overall maus and that's good enough, i think, for the shorts to think about covering. they said they're going to get gap positive in q 4 for the first time ever and i think that's a good sign so they're doing the right thing. they're modestly growing users, that's okay. the one missing element is revenue growth their revenue was down 4% year over year and it applies they'll be down in q 4 year over year when does that reverse i'm not sure we can make that call. >> does this quarter make it more or less likely that it remains a stand alone company. >> good question i don't know who buys them. >> i think they fit really well with facebook and i'm not sure that would be allowed. yes there are plenty of people wi
