important with it looks like the current conditions, the index rising to 114 in september verses the reuters poll and we're looking at conditions holding pretty steady. this is important with the german ifo because the index may have increased in the month of december but this is before the volkswagen cheating allegations came to light and also the migrant crisis explosion so this isn't really indicative of recent events that we're seeing but checking in on the euro 112 levels versus the u.s. dollar. still below that 114 we saw just a few weeks ago. >> also want to bring you the norwegian interest rate decision. cutting it's key rate to 0.75% from 1%. the crown falling on the back of that interest rate cut. it's a very very close call going into that decision. the norwegian economic growth is likely to remain low for longer. once again hitting a four week low of 9:45 per euro after cutting the interest rate by 25 basis points. they talk about the breleaker economic aspects. we'll talk more about that later on. >> interesting divergence. some are tightening and some are loosening. nancy is st

mika read that reuters investigated. you don't need to know -- you don't need to go to a spy museum to pick this up. >> i agree with that. listening to the conversation for the past three or four minutes, think about it. can you really blame brian pagliano for taking the fifth? he's an i.t. guy. he doesn't work for the secretary of state. he's not working for the campaign. he's an i.t. guy. >> he set up the server. >> so if you want to get involved in all of this, i'm sorry, i take the fifth. >> and presumably he has a lawyer saying, sir, this would be the prudent thing for you to do in this situation. he's sitting there saying okay. you want me to take the fifth, fine. that's what my lawyer says to do. >> like that guy said, it's his constitutional right. that's fantastic. but he's not doing it because of a political spectacle. he's doing it was the fbi is investigating and the news just keeps getting worse every day. >> a new poll suggests hillary clinton's image is still on the decline.

reuters reporting that the car maker said that new software would be installed but did not explain the action was in the hope of trying to satisfy government regulators. now as for ceo martin winterkorn stepping down yesterday, of course that was a big headline saying he was re-signing to give the auto maker a fresh start. a source told cnbc they expect more people to follow the ceo out the door with decisions possibly due this friday. who is going to replace martin winterkorn as the new ceo? we have two potential candidates for the head role. that includes herbert diess who recently joined from vw and mueller. we also saw impact in japan. >> absolutely. japanese auto makers were down quite heavily. we saw quite some massive losses for them. toyota was actually out performing. they are seeing benefitting if some of the people move their money out of vw. let's get back out to nancy. let's talk about that race for the ceo. who is the front runner here nancy? >> well, carolyn, the feeling on the ground we're getting here at vw headquaters is that it's the ceo of porsche is currently the f

for more on that, we are joined via skype by noah barkin of reuters. how is germany receiving this influx of humanity day after day? >> well, we've all seen the pictures, the images in the media, germans welcoming asylum seekers who come over from hungary through austria, most of them arriving in munich, welcoming them with open arms, signs of welcome, handing out bananas and chocolate bars and things like that. that's what we've seen over the past week but there are signs that the mood is shifting, and as more come in. we have about i think 4,000 came in, into munich this morning. they're expecting another 7,000 or so by the end of the day, and the german foreign minister said yesterday that there could be as many as 40,000 who come in this weekend. that would be double what we saw last weekend. so there is a bit of concern here in germany that the unflux won't stop. >> sreenivasan: is there political pressure on the angela merkel now. >> merkel is hugely popular. she has record popularity ratings, unprecedented in postwar germany. so she's in a good

joined by joe mann of reuters and hannah kuchler of the financial times. lots to talk about including course air is rah. that is the beginning and that is the traditional four-year college with a campus. what is the state of colleges these days? >> well, you know, i think it's good. the top colleges in the united states are still the best in the world and still attract the best students. and that four-year experience is still an extraordinary valuable experience. some of the concern about the worries of colleges are overblown. the biggest single problem has been underfunding by state governments of the state institutions, which are where the real cost of attendance has gone up dram emptyically. less so for private colleges in the united states. actually, the net cost, after financial aid, less than -- less than 1% a year over the last 15 years. >> so, what do you say when people say it's just too expensive, it's not worth it anymore? >> billion, i think the data show the opposite is true. it is worth it. the lifetime earnings expectations are clearly are s

. >> in the last half hour reuters is saying they have suspended the research and development heads of vw passenger cars of audi and porsche. that's the latest as the scandal continues to unfold. nancy, what do you make of the most recent comments coming from audi? >> reporter: well, carolyn, i think it's indicative of what we heard from m avatthias mueller. he wants to set it straight and be fast and quick and put to rest so much of the uncertainty. so much of the focus was the drama and defense around the ceo's departure. two days later a new ceo was brought in, mr. matthias mueller. this week can be more crucial as the company gets set to announce how many vehicles were affected and the fix for the software. how they will technically fix the software for the defeat advice. they want this fixed by october 7th or else they could face additional files. the pressure is building on vw. so many promises of restoring trust and getting back to business. they now need to put forward a concise plan. we could expect to see -- we're told last week on friday we would get the names of these r and

he told reuters that this is because yields moved higher in recent weeks. be on fast money halftime report in an exclusive interview. >> let's have a look at the doves verses the hawks heading into today's decision. there's a dovish slant. the only out right hawk is jeffrey laquer. in the dovish camp of course sits janet yellen. in the weeks and months leading up to today cnbc is speaking to the fed presidents about their views on monetary policy. >> my preference is that we don't have it like we did in 2004. i do believe that the data dependence is what we should be doing. >> from my perspective at this moment the decision to begin the normalization process at the september fomc meeting seems less compelling to me than a few weeks ago. >> i have been talking about the normalization of rates for sometime. this week's events complicate the picture but it's too soon to see the picture. and i think it's prepared to take that. >> the economy is returning to normal. we're not certain we're there yet. >> there is only one place to watch that all important decisio

reuters reported in march any loan deal between the two countries would demand chinese companies are hired in the extraction and refining process. >> the u.s. is urging beijing to be more mindful of how it communicates policy changes amid the global market turmoil driven by fears over china slow down and doubts over it's response, the white house has been critical about criticizing the moves later this month but concerns over china's economy and market volatility are expected to top the agenda when u.s. secretary jack lew and others meet in turkey on friday. >> now the impact of the china slow down on the german economy is one of the main talking points taking place in frankfurt. well, carolyn is there and joins us now. good to see you. it did slow down a little bit in the first quarter but the big question is what happens in q-3 and q-4 as a result of the slow down and the market volatility that we have seen coming from china. how worried is the finance ministry about what's going on there? that's the question i put to him. >> the euro zone is doing well. most of our exports still g

i worked for reuters. we see ourselves as being part of the media -- a quarter of the media space that focuses on fact. our slogan is accuracy comes first. as in ourselves very much the corner of trying to provide unbiased coverage of whatever issues there may be. so on that, we are all for facts. the second thing i would say is, one of the things about this particular deal is that all 159 pages of it are available and online. anybody who wants to read it can easily find it online and read it. the third thing is, their article series of fairly independent think tanks that have also done their analyses of the deal, so you can look at say, brookings -- the brookings institution website and get a sense of what the deal is. like what you said about looking at a wide range of media, i think that is a great thing. rely noteople need to just on what source but on multiple sources, and not just the media at the underlying documents or transcripts. because that is another way in which you can get a grasp of what is

the reuters poll had been for 52.0 so we're expecting it to be very close to 52. it's at 51.5. sterling slipped off the back of that. it's now flat on the session, 153.38 at the moment. >> consumer credit in line at 1.2 billion. interesting enough british mortgage approval rising to meet the highest level since february of 2014. the data shows that it's adding to signs that britain's housing market is regaining momentum after a couple of mixed months of data over the past two to three months and sterling basically holding on to the flat line against the u.s. dollar at 1534. >> just to sum up that manufacturing pmi which is disappointing the index for jobs in manufacturing is at its lowest since april 2013. so disappointing data there on the manufacturing side. >> we were just taking a look at european equities. we're starting the month down on a low note after they lost about 10% in the month of august. out of bear market territory for a number of the european indices and we're in sell off mode in september. better than 2.5%. similar losses on the ftse 100 and take a look at th

meanwhile, beijing seized up to a trillion yuan of unspent local government budgets according to reuters sources. let's check in on asia. sri joins us from singapore. sri. >> hi there, yes. all of these efforts by beijing are not really registering on the breeoader market and there'a distinct lack of confidence because peel don't really know whether beijing is cheer leading this market or trying to restrict the speculation. and there's a lot of uncertainty in term of the economic trajectory. we continue to see data consistent with growth. so mainland china equities extended their losses to roughly 6% off by almost 3.5%. 3,000 is looking very vulnerable. and the markets on the defensive here with the exception of the nikk nikkei. we did see the food sector, that bolstered the food stocks. very modest gains. up by 51 points. all eyes on the fed. fmc. what tone are they going to strike? will they go through with the fed rate hike or defer it until october, december, or even 2016. that's where we stand. back to you. >> thank you, sri. coming up on the program, we're speaking to the ceo of ge

it's also quite a bit lower than the reuters poll of 57.6. the lowest since may of 2014 according to market. the business component 57.2, the lowest since april of 2013. composite pmi coming in at the lowest level since may of 2013. also disappointing, the pmi surveys showing us .5% quarter on quarter. >> some analysts point out that uncertainty about the scale of china slow down could be priced into that number. that's something to keep in mind. as you pointed out this services sector coming in much lower than expectations. recording it's weakest growth in more than two years last month. keen eye on the services sector here in the u.k. let's take a look. we're higher following the positive session overseas in asia as well as on wall street. the dow gaining better than 300 points in yesterday's trade. the ftse 100 up by 1.8%. xetra dax up 1.7% and similar gains in france and italy as well. remember as you were just pointing out that euro zone services number coming in at a four year high. quite reassuring ahead of the european central bank po

but i want to bring this breaking news line we just received from the reuters news line which is quotingnterior minister of croatia saying that croatia will close its border to serbia if another 8,000 enter in one day. in that coming in from the croatian interior minister. that is many 8,000 migrants try to travel from serbia north into croatia in one day. we'll wait to see exactly what reaction we get from that. but obviously for the many refugees who are now tracking across serbia, heading towards croatia that is going to cause concern. a west african political analyst joins me live now in the studio. thanks for being here. >> thanks for having me. >> there is a lot of suspicion that the former president knew or had some involvement with the presidential guard carrying out this coup. >> yeah, the leaders of the guard have so far denied his knowledge of the coup, but it has now come out there are suspicions the leader was actually in [ inaudible ] very recently and we no that blaze is in exile in that region. and that could cause some -- put the government in a very awkward situation. >
