simon: you say romanovs. you say romanos. simon: the russians say romano. but we english say romanov. it doesn't matter. you mentioned the rothchild's. this is a 2008 "vanity fair" article that undoubtedly you remember in which a friend of yours the honorable hannah rothchild, who is she. simon: she's a novelist and writer. she's head of the british museum. the very important woman in england and she's a daughter of rob rothchild. she is a great person. here is your quote. did you find that to be a compliment? simon: i don't know. what did you think? i'm not sure you found that as a compliment. brian: are you a gossip? i think all human affairs all human business, all politics is about human relationships. you can call that gossip, if you'd like. on the world's face. but if you look at these books for example, in all of them, there are sud dis and how power itself affects on penalty on power. even if you are talking about an imperial court with chamberlains and ladies in waiting or whether you're talking about the office of the president of the united state

simon: not all of it, no.here are new aspects of it, but the story is to going on, which is very interesting. as everyone knows, the bodies were found in the 1990's and buried in 1998. with boris yeltsin presiding. they were buried in the family vault, but two of the bodies were missing. not anastasia, she did not survive. the grand duchess maria and her sister their bodies were never found. 10 years later, 2007, very recently, they found the remains of those bodies. just bits of skeleton. they were tested by western specialists and found to be the missing romanovs, but the orthodox church, backed by the president of the russian federation, because in russia the orthodox church is a branch of the autocracy, challenged these findings. last year, we're up-to-date now, last year, president putin and his security agencies and the church suddenly decided they would test everything again. they have exhumed nicholas ii, temporarily, tested his body, exhumed the children, and they tested these two last bodies. at the

simon: no. brian: who did he have contact with? simon: nicholas ii.rian: what was his relationship with him? simon: there was no love affair. there was no love affair as rumored with him. but he and alexander needed rass putin. -- rasputin. it was a tragic family story and the parents were agonized by this -- by the child uffering by his pain as he would almost die immediately from heem feel yak attacks but -- hemopheliac attacks but by insisting that he must succeed to the full plenitude of autocracy. and the disease had to be a total secret. brian: what year is nicholas -- simon: this is 1905, 1904 was when the child alexi was born. they meet him next year. and he remains key. right up to his murder in december, 1916. brian: nicholas ii was emperor for how long? simon: over 20 years. 1894 to 1917. brian: the reason i wanted to talk about rasputin, this was the end of the romanovs. simon: it's interesting you ask about rasputin because he became essential to the parents as well as the child. but he didn't become totally politically important until wo

valeria: como no lo hemos tenido hasta ahora, simón. allison: te amo, simón.enzó a nacer en mí cuando era niño y me hizo soñar contigo. no somos responsables de dónde venimos, pero sí somos responsables de hacia dónde vamos. es ciertque no tenemos nada que ver con las circunstancias en donde crecemos, pero sí con las decisiones que tomamos sobre el rumbo que llevará nuestra vida, aunque vivimos una realidad desalentadora, tan carente de buenas oportunidades donde lo más común es aceptar caminos que brindan soluciones fáciles. no está bien que vivamos pensando que transamos o somos transados, nos tenemos que preparar, y aunque sea un esfuerzo mayor luchar por oportunidades honestas, no resignarnos a lo que nos enseñaron, porque así como aprendemos lo malo, tenemos la capacidad de aprender lo bueno. también podemos aprender a amar, y es el amor lo que nos llevará por el buen camino. ese amor que llega hasta nuestro corazón después de "soñar contigo". cuarteto: ♪ madre si pudiera con palabras desterrar todo el dolor y las derrotas tu corona de lágrimas que tan so

>> simon, a big part of trader mythology.ome think the blackout period might be a problem for the markets but not all companies are prohibited from buying back stock during the earnings period. many have plans to buy back their stock using pre-established buyback companies. the a company could start a plan buying back x amount of shares if it hits a certain price or buying x amount as long as it's lower than x price or buy 50,000 shares every day of prevailing market price throughout the day. all different. as long as these are part of a regular buyback program, the company may be able to keep buying, even through any blackout period. that's the key point. and companies can also make a buy barq announcement that's not part of any regulatory program. jamie dimon bottom. wouldn't have made that nearing an earnings report. back in january. don't expect a dramatic announcement like that in the next couple of weeks, but with stock prices down more buybacks may be coming. some banks down 10% or more in the last week. look for poten

back the, you simon. >> thank you, sarah. and now we are focusing on what it means for your money, and alan greenspan had this to say earlier on cnbc. >> this is the worst period i recall since i have been in public service. there is nothing like it with the crisis of the october 19, 1987 when the dow went by a record percent down, and that is what i thought was the bottom of all potential problems. this has a crow zi effect which is not easy to go away. >> and of course, what greenspan is referring to is the concern that the european project could unravel. he is also worried about the longer term entitlement ss and e productivity and wages, and john n this environment, when you hear the bigger warnings, it is a buying opportunity, and can you take it at face value? >> it would be buying opportunity, and would be right now overseas and not a buying opportunity right here in my mind yet, because we came off of the bottom so quickly. i was looking for and i think that if anybody had dry powder, and they basically said i'm going

simon: lenin was not jewish. brian: not at all? simon: something like 16th ewish. he was also part tartar. brian: throughout the book, there's a lot of anti-semitism. what is the basis of that? brian: this is the strange thing. the romanovs net anti-semitism become a family fetish that made no sense to them whatsoever. this goes with the wider crisis in the monarchy that they had, which was that they could not quite decide if they wanted to be emperor of this huge multinational multi-religion empire with all these different religions or if they wanted to be russian tsars, nationalistic tsars. this was one of the contradictions that they cannot quite work out. in the end, from nicholas the first onward, they basically plumped for being nationalistic russian rulers and they gradually and foolishly alienated all the minorities. none more so than the georgians, poles, jews. which is why so many of those peoples became bolsheviks and revolutionaries and terrorists. they did it, it was a completely absurd concept. they regarded the jews, nicholas he second regarded the e

let's bring back in our guest, simon french. look at these polls day by day on the markets move. do these polls convince you of a different outcome? are you looking at the polls from a few weeks ago that had the remaining camp ahead? can you just not say it? aren: the recent polls driving the pound on a daily basis. it's almost the single factor of short-term volatility. outcome, i the final think there are two factors that will not be playing out in any of these opinion polls that we need to look at -- the likelihood of turnout among younger voters who are much more but we're also looking for indications that in the last couple of weeks the small conservative british voters, on mainstream and social media who do not make a lot of noise but who are inherently anti-big change in the u.k. economy, we saw this with the scottish referendum and the 2015 general election. we do not sense the revolutionary mood is really out there. see indications that they started to swing back to the status quote which, in this case, is remain. the o

simon: very little.nk the one thing that perhaps has not been discussed we areuld be brought up, possibly not the only eu skeptical nation in the european union. a poll came out about a month 41% oft pointed out like leave,nch would vote to 48% of italians would vote to leave. question, maybe the big question is what there be the possibility of further referenda within the european union? i think that is maybe the question that needs to be fleshed out a little more. francine: john, i do not know if you accept but is there talk thatst the pro brexit-iers they would be comfortable being blamed for the implosion of the eu? john: it depends on what view you take. i think there is a real problem in europe is that direction -- the direction of travel is more toward the union. what most people would like to see which is much more prominent for the nationstate, and this junction between the two which is building up that explains all of the protest parties. europe needs to get to a state class needolitical to hav

let's get more on this with itrence mutkin, bnp paribas also is simon can -- also with us is simon kennedyank you so much. laurence, when you look at japan -- -- white is japan, germany is a blue. you can see the german bond 10 year was off and negative territory at what does this tell us? laurence: it tells you but risk and the risks that central banks are fighting. the risks are it is still very hard to see any evidence for getting inflation back up. the same thing, although with much less in the way with full employment is in the euro area could we have these extraordinary positions which we may be having the bank of japan and the ecb with benchmark negative interest rates. that is what you see with these charts. you see a bond yield at zero. still yielding at 45 basis pains above itbasis points would take of bonds as something you would buy to hedge your liability. urinary yield, it is bigger than ever? do you buy bonds insistbecause regulators . the other is if you can get away from caring about the level of the yield, if you look the steepness of the yield curve, is this better than

>> simon, he called hillary clinton the ultimate insider, saying she stood against brexit and talked about taking tens of millions of dollars. in a place like pennsylvania or ohio, those kinds of messages i would have to think are going to resonate with voters there. >> to me, the most striking thing about what we just heard is how far donald trump has drifted from the legacy of ronald reagan. ronald reagan was an avid free trader, one of the most articulate and powerful backers of global free trade over the last 50 years in american life. he also was a leader on immigration reform. it just shows how far the modern republican party has drifted from reagan. i'm not even sure they even know it anymore, how different ronald reagan he would be and how at odds he would be with today's republican party. second, it's shameful for any republican -- >> we have our satellite connection back up, simon, sorry to interrupt you, we'll check back with you in a bit. >> massive trade deficits subtract directly from our gross domestic product. from 1947 to 2001, a span of over five decades, our inflat
