contact and he may well be here i'm sure part of the reason for his visit is to try and boost facebook's p.r. in russia and its market share but there has been another idea floated by the russian media quoting russian computer companies who say that he may well in fact be here to try and headhunt talented russians programmers and they're not happy about that prospect they point to one thousand ninety eight when russia was in a financial crisis and microsoft received similar accusations of poaching talented russian programmers and taking them back to the u.s. was never the real reason that he was here he still managed to find time to pose for photos in red square in his trademark red hoodie and to go into mcdonald's for a bite to eat so it seems that although the main message is technology it's not all about business. move over to the markets and we start with the united states where everything is looking pretty rosy after manufacturing came out on a b notes as actually after the first time in four months and therefore we're seeing the dow jones up more than one set over in europe unemploymen
