>> thanks so much, ross.petro poroshenko, the leading candidate right now taking a runaway victory so far as the polls suggesting right now. he's getting just shy of 50% of the votes. the question is whether or not he can actually win it this sunday. are the polls right now correct or will we have to go to a runoff in two or three weeks time? he's an oligarch in this country. he's one of the richest men here. the other thing about him is that he's selling this pro-european message. he's been far less aggressive towards russia, one of the crucial questions is whether or not he'll be able to solve the tensions in that relationship, too. he says i can improve the situation in around three months time. very much the clock ticking there. but to go back to what we've seen from him as an oligarch, he was one of the only -- in fact, the only oligarch down here on the square behind me protesting during the protest a couple months ago. that made him unique an a unique voice in this country for change. the question is,

ross, i'll send it back to you.just mention once again, i will be speaking with president putin tomorrow at 12:30. i hope our audience will make a point of joining me for that. let's send it back to you for the time being. >> yes, i think that's a not to miss interview, jeffrey. thanks for that. you can also catch it all online. we have a special report @ report @spief@cnbc.com. >>> stay tuned for more on why the chinese online retailer is beating expectations. as we do so, reminder, we're weighted to the upside ahead of the u.s. open in europe. advancers outpacing decliners around about a ratio of 6.3 on the stoxx europe 600. double points or .then fuelh double miles on your next getaway. make every stay more rewarding and feel the hamptonality that's keeping you from the healthcare you deserve. at humana, we believe if healthcare changes, if it becomes simpler... if frustration and paperwork decrease... if grandparents get to live at home instead of in a home... the gap begins to close. so let's simplify things. l

>> hey, ross. just on the geneva one and two accord, i have to remind viewers that if anyone, both sides here, are able to enact geneva one, then maybe we wouldn't need a gentlemeva two. one is military weapons and all kinds of issues on its side. two, pro-russian sectors would leave the buildings and disarm on the other side. three, the talks begin about greater tax for the regions that in the south as well. so if all those things were enacted on both sides, i don't know what to move forward than to get out of geneva one even if it was enacted. now we'll move on to the danger. you heard the acting prime minister in kiev talking about his concerns that this would have geo political manifications from this. yes, the dow is trading at its first yearly high, record high last week, but there's a real concern that economically this could have ramifications even though the world seems to have ignored it so far. we'll listen to what i was told yesterday about his concerns of how this would hit sentiment i

>> thank you, ross.king good because as we heard earlier, the military does look to be consolidating its grip on power. and a step forward in that direction is the fact that the country's revered monarch, the king has formally endorsed the general as the head of the ruling military council. we did see the market drop by as much as almost 1% on a foreign selling, especially in the large caps, but the market seems to be recouping some of those losses. still in negative territory, but we are not as bad as we were earlier on in the session. let me remind you, that has been the kind of rinse and repeat pattern that we've seen in the thai equity markets. time and time again we have had major political developments. we have seen a big overreaction by the foreign investors. a lot of selling on their behalf only for the local investors to put that back into the market and push it back up. so it always tends to gape a degree of composure. we'll see if we see further consolidation in the market. elsewhere, bombay s

sri is with us. >> we'll try, ross.ics off a dovish janet yellen and conciliatory comments, an olive branch, if you will, from vladimir putin. this is a question i suppose the geopolitical analysts can try to answer. over here, the markets are not looking all that. they're looking at that at face value. they are rallying on the basis of what we saw there. it is one month's data. i think some of the skeptics are looking at this and they are asking themselves, well, we need more confirmations as to wheth this will be a self-sustaining rebound in imports and x port before we get bull erb on the economy. bay jng has been guiding lower. there's also invoicing which has distorted the trade data on numerous occasions. but you can't ignore the fact that we have seen stimulus, we have seen a targeted infrastructure rollout and we have and continue to see a rollout of affordable low-cost social housing by the beijing government. all of that does play into the theme of stronger imports, especially on the commodities and raw materi

>> reporter: hello, ross. we are down to the ukraine headlines you were talking about, but take a look at the outperformance here in the greater china markets. the shanghai comp and the hang seng up in the order of 2% if not higher. it's the property stocks leading the way on the hang seng. and it's really down to this framework of the authorities unveiling further capital market, liberalization. so the market is liking that news. and one of the big stories this week is in india. the new record high today pricing in a motor victory in the sensex. voting wraps up today in india. the official result will be out on friday at the end of the week. we'll be there covering that result live on the ground in the indian capital. but here's the thing, there is room for disappointment. if mr. modi falls short of the 230/240 seats positive outcome that the market is projecting, then there is room for a big gap down in the indian equities markets. but in the here and now, we are seeing a big move higher in the indian ropi.

ross. know, first i want to less you listen in to more about what the prime minister of portugal was telling me yesterday and, of course, we've been speaking a lot particularly in the last 24 hours of the pullback we've seen in bond yields particularly in the likes of greece and portugal in particular. well, we've been talking to what the bank has set up about the issues and challenges that the country is facing irrespective of whether or not the troika on board overseeing the progress of the country, the question i asked the prime minister was whether or not actually the markets right now are underestimating the challenges that the country faces. listen in. >> the markets know very well the situation, the financial situation of portugal, of spain, of italy and so on. the result of the ecb policy is now showing the first. no doubts about the euro compass toy to that. that's the main explanation from the stress and confidence on the recovery of these countries. in second place, i think that

ross was born in the delta region of mississippi.y was not -- they were quite prominent farmers. they had their land and possessions taken from them through a scheme around allegedly back taxes and were reduced to sharecropping. in the sharecropping system, there was no assurances over what they might get versus what they actually picked. when i first met mr. ross, the first thing he said to me was he left mississippi for chicago because he was seeking the protection of the law. i did not quite understand what he meant. he said, listen, there were no black judges or prosecutors, no black police -- basically, we had no law. we were outlaws and people could take what they wanted. that was very much his early life. he went to chicago thinking things would be a little different. on the surface, they were. you managed to get a job, got married, had a decent life. he was basically looking for that one more emblem of the american middle class in the eisenhower years, now is the possession of a home. unfortunately, due to government policy,

in 1952, when a man named fred ross and no body has heard of him and that is too bad. but he was an important community organizer and ran a group called the community service organization which was almost exclusively in california and it was the first part of the mexican-american civil rights movement. he went to san jose in 1952 and started holding house meetings where you invite people over and talk about their concerns and needs and try to get people engaged in collective community organizing. and he meets cesar chavez at a meeting and here is where we can tie into the legend because part of the legend is fred ross wrote in his journal i think i found the guy i am look for. and you can find that quote in lots of books and scholarly works but that is in fact made up. and i found the actual entry in fred ross' journal from that night and he says something positive. he says cesar chavez has great potential and energy and something very positive about him but not the quote as the legend has become. he immediately -- he is 25 years old, he is really smart and stuck in a
