smith concerned himself. do you think the works of adam smith might provide a roadmap? >> what is fascinating about smith more of a parlor game in the process of intellectual analysis. you could ask what would smith think of these things, i put this into that context. smith is such an omnivorous and wide-ranging thinker. we must consult him on both sides of the argument. a simple way of thinking of it would be smith above all understands the level of specialization, the amount of value added to the markets is a function of how deep it is. if you take a short-term perspective, leaving the single market takes you away from the deepest markets available to the uk and smith might worry about that. on the other hand smith is acutely aware of benefits of economic growth and orienting toward faster growing markets in the rest of the world has a smithian explanation. the point that i think is most interesting is that moment which illustrates the other side of the equations which smith is highly attuned to is the moment in 1778 the brits have just been at the battle of saratoga and they solicit smith to fight for

how will this go down in the? she has to convince the before the house of commons. , this isthat in mind what we expect from the equity markets. we are expecting to go a little weaker at the start of the day. concern once again about trade tensions. just how negative is that for oil majors and where else does that take us? as we say, there are headlines as well. will we see oil majors bounce a little bit as a result of these headlines? president trump is not going to take action. generally, the director travel is a negative one. opening down by a tenths of 1%. the ibex down by a tenths of 1%. it looks pretty red from here. matt: that's right, a lot of red across the imap. floor,take a look at our you can see that almost all sectors are trading down. sliver next tole what we have labeled other, which i believe is information technology. sliver is real estate, that is the only gaining sector at all. energy is leading the way down as you might expect because of the oil price. crude dropping for a 13th consecutive session after a 7% drop yesterday. materials also down, financials down, and the i.t. labeled other also in the red. everything, with the exception of some consumer discretionary, some utilities and real estate really dropping this morning. what do you see as far as the individual names? anna: let's have a look at the function there. upside, we've got the tech group. on,ing about this earlier spitting up the medical business. they try to sell it back in september, that deal fell through. now we see them making headlines talking about splitting off. that was a fascinating conversation over at ap mueller. yes, there is, some inventory building people are trying to get ahead of any tariffs still to come. broadly speaking, they have a slow but reasonable growth rate in terms of the overall trade story. let's have a look at the downside briefly. we do have a bit of an oil flavor to what is going on. lundin petroleum in there as well. worth keeping an eye on. in terms of that car story, we seeing the car stocks a little higher, bmw a little higher. turning to the oil story, crude is showing little sign of recovering from its unprecedented decline. turning to the oil story, crude is showing little sign of recovering from its unprecedented decline. wti plunged more than 7%, its biggest drop in three years. that as opec warns demand is falling faster than expected, underlining why saudi arabia and other members are signaling output cuts. joining us now is opec president and uae energy minister. good to have a witness. do you think that opec needs to act and act soon? yeah, first of all, it's good to be with you. had the monetary committee meeting. we have said that we need to change in strategy. 2019 is going to have its own challenges, and we are ready at our next meeting to change strategy and adapt to whatever is needed to maintain the balance on the supply and demand. we closely monitor the inventories and fundamentals. we are intending to keep the inventories at the level where riskare with avoiding the of the buildup. but at the same time, avoiding the risk of a major throw down from the inventories. people, consumers, as well as at the point of balance bring in investment. but at the same time, enabling the world economy to grow. ask, how much does the increase in production in the u.s. with their shale resources and the unexpectedly high amount of waivers given out for the iranian sanctions thatase other oil demand you were not expecting for other oil supply you were not expecting how much does that play into the equation? it does play a significant role in the equation. whenever we look at our balanceon, it is to whatever it comes from, from those producers outside the group. right, most of the exceeded one comes to the production from the united states and from other producers as well. that is why we need to always monitor those factors and adjust as needed to the markets balance. past tocuts in the , and if wets balance need to cut production to adjust to keep the market balanced, we will do that. but we will not overdo it, we are always going to keep that isance and our reference going to be the five-year average that we worked very hard with our non-opec members to achieve. it comes to the question are we going to act and act fast, i think, in early december, we have been meeting. thoseam expecting that groups of responsible producers will reach a consensus on the right measures to keep the market balanced. december is still a way off, but your best guess as to how much needs to be cut in september? mc,hen we met at the g.m. we asked to look at recommendations on the required adjustment. as you can see, october has been a very fluctuating month. we are moving now in november and seeing fluctuations. but there are things outside of our control, which are the speculations of market fundamentalists, they are still justify theot to drop we had yesterday, but at the same time, we are dealing with so many other factors. i think that when we talk about the level, we will need to monitor, after a mentioned, how non-opec.ming from will be studied by the technical group and they inl ring that to the meeting december. is that thatn adjustment and that group will reach a consensus on whatever is required to adjust the market. i cannot throw in a number prematurely, but whatever is thatred, i have confidence the groups that have worked very hard to achieve what they have achieved when not just let go of it in 2019. matt: assuming you make those cuts, and we have heard numbers, for example, the secretary general -- the secretary-general and others that the should be about one million barrels cut among opec and friends next month, where you think that the right supply energy equation would put the oil price? you for a right to price on brent crude next month? >> when it comes to what feels isht it is the results, it not a target for us. we are targeting a balance in and it is aies focus for us to look at. the average five years would be a good reference. lastannot fit it to the dollar, but we will try to keep it at the level we had in the past. i would say 3-4 months. the price of oil is a target, and we cannot target a price. we conserve and we hear the consumers, whether they are from the united states, whether they are from china, india. opec has transformed significantly, and hearing those voices in june when we merged and there was an acquirement -- that available production was not enough, we made sure to bring that production. and theber when we meet whatevernts to cartel, the required cut, we will cut in accordance to what we agree on. whatever price they end up with, the market will decide the price, but not us as a group. we are targeting what is good for consumers to keep the economy growing. and at the same time, enable us through investments and require investors to continue investing in this important commodity. the market will decide. anna: minister, thank you very much. the opec energy minister joining us there, a very timely interview, with oil prices continuing to fall. down by .4%. up next, we talk about brexit. the most recent headline over the last 10 minutes. benches,s on the back said she thinks this deal is as good as it gets. we talk about that next. this is bloomberg. ♪ anna: welcome back to the european open. we are 14 minutes into the trading session. month after month of deadlock, theresa may has struck a brexit deal. agoshe has to convince her with it and overcome nearly impossible on. joining us now is a bloomberg u.k. policy reporter. great to get your perspective. i guess how ministers decided to vote might depend on how relevant they think the backstop is. it is still a backstop, it's not supposed to be needed, but i've seen lots of different perspectives. what is the news you are here? -- hearing? >> that's right, anna. the backstop suggests it might be invoked if nothing else is. that if theyem is get this deal a grade, something has to change for future agreements to come into play. think that if nothing changes, that backstop may have to be invoked. it may well have to choose. anna: one of the factions we need to watch for on this than. -- then. easy to seein, it's things that labor won't like, the brexiteers more like, and surely the dup says they don't want to vote for it. so what are the factions to watch for? >> you've got hurt loyalists, people who will vote for her plan. as you have just mentioned, and a super he, a lead -- anna subari has tweeted that this plan is the best we will get. suggesting she will vote for it and her colleagues will as well. last night and this morning, we have had brexiteers saying that this is absolutely unacceptable, and she needs labor on the side. labor really wants a general election. they have to weigh whether or not they can back this plan. they say they want the u.k. to stay in a customs union. actually, you know, this plan they have put forward looks quite similar to labor's plan, whether it is enough for them to back it. it remains to be seen. matt: it looks quite similar, jess, to the eu's plan. is this not what they wanted? >> what may has been trying to put forward this whole time is drawing a compromise that and that iseryone .otentially an apostle tax it is really going to be down to the details. we will see that document, potentially later today or in the week. it is going to be a case of people going through those details, see whether it fits in with the uk's relationship. years potentially becoming decades. thank you so much, a busy day for the u.k. politics day team here. we go to an indispensable market perspective. maria, great to have you with us. this shows overnight pound volatility spike in, but the increase we saw, it is up by more than 1% and we are back down. we have not moved very far this week overall. just outlining how difficult it will be to get the next bit of politics is done. what is the upside though? the upside potential for the pound if we do see this get through. maria: first of all, thanks for having me. view is that the pound is about 10% undervalued at the current level. having said that, it is very, very hard convince investors right now to go and buy sterling. i think your chart tells a perfect story, it is just so volatile. even if you happen to be on the not many are allowed to have risk limits that go into the street. positioninginvestor is probably close to the benchmark. so yes, sterling is undervalued, we all know it, but by the nature of the outcome, it's almost like you're reconcilable differences.ble u.k. equities are pretty much uninvestable. not because there are going to go down, they're actually ,ositive on earnings prospects energy staples doing better after a long time for structural weakness, you cannot just invest. given the spikes in volatility. anna: ok, matt. that therere saying are positive prospects for u.k. stocks and assets i wonder about the pound. is already priced in for a deal? none of what we are getting here is surprising. clearly, theresa may is up against big odds it through but it seems like the deal is going through exactly as expected. no.ja: yes and the market is probably expecting some sort of deal, but having said that, as i said, we're still pass the income. we still have strong volatility. it is still extremely hard to convince investors to act on this. anna: let me ask you about the bank of england. i think it was nomura calling this wage data blockbuster. setting the course for rate hikes. if we get some stability on brexit which is a big if, just how high that they have tied? if we did not have brexit, we would be hiking a lot more. but it is impossible to ignore brexit. is hard to expect anything more than one-year. matt: our guest is going to stick with us, the senior multi-asset charges at state street. we are plenty more to talk about. we have italy to talk about, the oil situation is amazing. and of course, german gdp is interesting, german gdp contracted more than expected in the quarter. german shows making a splash outside the country in the last years, i'm talking about television shows. how is the market for tv inside europe's biggest economy?

smith, george throckmorton john , smith, george thorpe, and richard berkeley. they met in london because as i said they had been given a grant of over 8000 acres to start a settlement and to bring profits back to england. at that point in the early 17th century, england was going through a severe recession. poverty was rampant. king james i had tyrannical leadership. there was a lot going on and people wanted to go to the new land in the new world to see what it is like an gain their fortunes. it was easy to get people to go to the new world, and they did. in 1618. it started they wanted an expedition to virginia to see the new land they had been given by king james i. they needed to find a leader. that leader was john woodlief. after looking at certain people, several people, they chose captain john woodlief to lead the expedition to the new world. he had been to the new world several times. he was an ancient planter, quite a distinction in those days. he was a merchant trader. he was in jamestown during the starving time, so he had experienced the new world and experienced the leadership of an expedition. the group in london made him a captain and first governor of the colony and he set on to his task of leading the expedition to the new world. what he had to do first was a margaret, from bristol, england, -- was a lease a ship, the good ship margaret, from bristol, england, in 1619. its name was the margaret and it was due to take off from the new world with the expedition on the september 16. next he had to get a crew and he found men that were capable of building a settlement, carpenters, journeyman, those kinds of professions that were craftsmen who knew how to build a settlement that could last for a long time. so, he chose 35 men to go across has the settlement progressed. next he needed provisions for the ship and he started to do that. he had food that included biscuits and bread, wheat, bacon and horsemeat, and other kinds of things like that. he also had beer, cider, and aqua vitae. it was an alcoholic beverage during those years. he took along tools, kitchen utensils, bibles, and 6000 beads to trade with the indians. there were a lot of things on that ship that went over. the margaret itself was a small ship for those times. it was only 35 feet long at the keel, weighing 47 tons, one of the smallest ships of the time. the men in fact, going across , the ocean had to sleep on the top deck because there would not have an room underneath because of the supplies. so, they took off on september 1619, at 8:00 in the morning. 16, it was a beautiful morning, settlers plus captain woodlief and a crew of 19. they left bristol, england for their journey. unfortunately there was not a lot of wind, so on the seventh day of the cruise a small gale came up and pushed them forward . they spent two and a half months on the atlantic ocean. they were claustrophobic, they were homesick. there was a lot of vermin infestation. there was a lot going on. a lot of difficult times during that time span. many storms also took place, but they made it and they made it to the hampton roads area of virginia on 1619. november 29, they anchored for the night and a gale came up. the shroud storm is what it's called. they lost their capstan, the winch part of the ship and worried they wouldn't make it to the night, but they prayed constantly and they did make it through the night and headed up the james river to their destination. captain woodlief could meet with friends would already settled there. they stopped in jamestown along the way and ended up at the berkeley 100, as it would be called, on december 4, 1619. as clifford downey says in his book, they rode to the shore, they dropped their luggage on the hard winter ground, they gazed at the woods enclosing and listened in complete silence. then at a command from the captain he said -- gentleman, kneel so we may say a prayer of thanksgiving. he said that they ordained the day of the arrival in the land of virginia as perpetually and annually kept holy as a day of thanksgiving to all mighty god. it was the first official thanksgiving in the new world. the first english thanksgiving in the new world. it was two years before the pilgrims had their thanksgiving in 1621. with that said, the settlement continued on, continued sending goods to england and went about their business. george thorpe was a cleric who had come over on the ship several months later. he had come over and wanted to convert the indians to christianity. they also had become very friendly with the indians and vice versa the indians with them so suddenly on the morning of , 1622, indian tribes came into march 22, the settlement and other settlements along the james river and picked up any weapons they saw in what was known as the massacre of 1622, the indian uprising. many people were killed. 11 people were killed at berkeley. many were injured and others just ran into the woods. this happened all up and down the james river. the chief had planned the assault. jamestown was spared because an indian named chanco who had the friend at one of the settlers let him know what was going on and the settler rode across the night before and warned them of the impending hostility. so, jamestown was spared, captain graham woodlief, he was in england at the time and his family was in jamestown. captain put these eventually settled at zion hill across the river in what is known as a jordan point today. that is hopewell, virginia. in 1931, dr. lion tyler, president of the college of william and mary, son of john tyler, came across the papers at the new york public library and they chronicled the journey across the atlantic from once they landed. dr. tyler was excited to find this, as he lived on the james river close of the berkeley plantation. he wrote an article in 1931 about his find. this was the first time people realized the first thanksgiving happened in virginia and not massachusetts as many believed. he wrote his article and then he told his neighbor about his discovery and years later, 1958, the jamison family invited the woodlief family to the plantation to celebrate the historic event that had happened on their land. the woodlief family started meeting in 1958 and 3 years later opened it to the public. today as we celebrate thanksgiving, we celebrate at the virginia thanksgiving festival that is withheld -- that has been held for the last 57 years, it actually re-creates the first thanksgiving when the the landing occurred at berkeley. and a lot of other colonial games and things take place, but the main purpose is we have been reenacting that thanksgiving ever since as they had ordered 1958 in the initial papers. once captain woodlief left england, they gave him instructions to do 10 things. the very first thing was when he landed to say thanks for their safe journey and to do that perpetually and annually. that is why captain woodlief had his men kneel and give a prayer of thanks. we think that that is the reason they did that as part of the official first thanksgiving, because it was ordered by england. other thanksgivings in the new world were spontaneous, not on orders from anyone although the , pilgrims and the colony governor william bradford. the one at berkeley was official because it was ordered by england and to be done perpetually and annually, which it was. that makes a difference between the thanksgiving at berkeley and how it differs between the other thanksgivings at the time. plus it was two years earlier. , in those days, thanksgivings were primarily a part of the new england lifestyle. there was also a lady by the name of sarah hale, a 73-year-old magazine editor who had been trying for 15 years to get one of the presidents of the united states to listen to her. she was well thought of in the united states in those days and quite influential. eventually, after 15 years abraham lincoln listened to her and designated the official thanksgiving day. it was five days after he met with her that he did that. it is said in a washington post article that i just read recently that she may have had some influence on him with the pilgrims being recognized as the first thanksgiving. the pilgrims had a harvest festival in addition to a somewhat of a religious service. so that was different. but in those days it was more of a giving thanks for safe voyages and good harvests, things like that. so today you have got food, you got football games, a lot of things like that. it comes right down to being with family and being a family time and giving thanks for what the good lord has provided. let me mention one other thing, that is pretty interesting. in 1962, john jay wicker, a virginia state senator, saw john f. kennedy's thanksgiving proclamation where he gave massachusetts full credit. he wrote to the president and arthur/injured answered -- schlesinger. he asked why virginia was not recognized. he sent him a note saying that he was basically sorry that the error occurred but due to on comparable new england bias on the part of the white house, they had overlooked virginia being the first of the 1963 thanksgiving proclamation by john f. kennedy included virginia first and massachusetts after that. we feel it we have gotten our do as far as recognition. the woodlief family had an association they started in 1968 -- in 1958 and it has been a part of my life ever since i was a child. they would send out information. they would have, the festival down here. it has been an important part of our life, something that we have enjoyed and learned a lot from. the foundation is commemorating certain historic events that happened in 1619. one was the first groups of the females coming to the new world. the first legislative body was in jamestown in 1619. in the first thanksgiving was here at berkeley. so, we have invited charles berkeley to the 400th anniversary, which is next year. 2019. charles berkeley owns berkeley castle now and is a member of the original berkeley family. so, he is coming. as a part of that they have had a lot of excavations done around berkeley castle in england and the gentleman doing that is here now, excavating looking at and , surveying the grounds to see if we can find the original settlement where they built the -- when the first thanksgiving occurred. mark horton is his name and he emailed me and said he would like to come to virginia. we met with him about six months ago. we looked at the land. between mr. jameson and mark horton, they decided where they thought the ship may have come in and they decided to come back to do further surveys. they have been here for the last four days doing that and we hope they will find something meaningful. >> we have been working in berkeley gloucestershire, , england, the last 10 years. we are fascinating in trying to uncover the story of berkeley america, the famous berkeley established in 1619. 100 one of the big mysteries is where the berkeley settlement of is actually located. 1619 clearly it's somewhere here on the property, known as the berkeley hundred for hundreds of years, but the precise location of where the settlement is located has never been well -- never been discovered by archaeologists or historians. or even in the memory of the people who lived here. our task is to use modern scientific machinery, geophysics equipment and so forth to find where the 17th century settlement really was. we have been surveying this huge field here, because we think that this is the most likely place for they would have been. there is a spring over here, a shallow landing by the river, and a fantastic view in both directions of the james river. if i was a colonist coming here for the first time, this is where i would end up. that's the reason we have come to this particular field. we have done a massive survey using magnetometer and radar across the entire field to see if we could find traces of the settlement. as a result of the geophysics we , found a series of targets. anomalies in the geophysics. what we are trying to do is to ground truth what the anomalies are. whether they are from the civil war. millions of men were camped here during the american civil war. but could it also be part of the remains of the settlement here in the 17th century? this is one dig we are doing, to see if there is any evidence from what we have found from the promising anomaly in this place into seeing if there is actually any real archaeology there at all. a lot of the archaeology of the area, centered on jamestown, has come from the london area. from britain. from the southeast. east anglia, london, so forth. what was interesting about the berkeley company is they came from the west country, from bristol, where the pottery in the pipes are really quite different to what was being consumed in london. so what we actually have in our excavations in england is the precise material that we would expect to find under our feet here. from the excavations of other plantation sites on the james river, just quantitative material discovered that his massive. we know that the berkeley company was very rich. ofhad a lot of investments thousands of pounds, even in 17th century standards, probably 5 million to 10 million pounds of goods stored here, so hopefully there is stuff here to find. one thing we noticed immediately when we come here is how similar the landscape is to where they came from. river severnn the they almost say that the witness , is here and it's back in england. it's almost as if they chose a place that was familiar in terms of their landscape. of course the trees were different, the vegetation was different. it would have been much more forested. yes, it would have been a very alien environment. but we know they took a lot of material with them to make them feel at home. ceramics, the pipes and so forth. so, it is clearly -- it would have been a real wrench, but the conditions back in england were not good at the time. a lot of poverty. we have excavated a lot of the graves of the people, the poor people of the parish. the people who would've volunteered to come out here. we can see that they were wracked with scurvy, rickets, and all of these horrible diseases. they were malnourished. there is a good reason they would want to come out here to seek out the new life in the new opportunities. there are two things that set them apart. one, they came from the west of britain rather than the east. the west country has a long history of engagement with north america, going back to the roanoke ventures of the late 16th-century. discover northo america in 1498. it's a long history of engagement from the west country with north america. which has sometimes been neglected. one of the things we are interested in understanding that and putting that into a context to the other thing the berkeley site is interested about is a clearly have a strong christian ethos here. we know from the people organizing the colonies that their outlook and in particular one of the key figures in the history of the society, george thorpe, was a proselytizing christian who believed that native americans should be converted to christianity. as far as we can see those relations between the berkeley company here and the native americans were good. george thorpe went out of his way to both be friendly and attempt to educate and christianize the native americans. he built a school for them and moved between here and there on a regular basis. clearly he had friendly relationships with them. the story goes in the 1622 massacre is that when it was brought into the border what eventually happened in the james river, he saw his friendly indians. he went up to greet them and as part of the massacre, they attacked him and killed him on the spot. i think he said -- my children, what's the problem? he suffered a horrible fate. this place tells a story of those relations and events, i should say, took over, which is why we have an empty field here now. we know that 12 of the settlers were killed in the massacre. including george thorpe. probably there would have it about 50 or 60 of them living here at the time. it would have been quite substantial. obviously most of them escaped back to jamestown. but it certainly brought to an end the settlement here. the berkeley company carried on. they attempted to trade to go -- trade and tobacco through jamestown but by 1625 with her -- we hear no more of it. of this, two particular features -- one of the interesting aspects of this, two particular features that were famous, the first is that we have good evidence that the promotional colonist, john smith, not the one from jamestown but another one who was the -- he lived in berkeley and was a scientist. he communicated with an apothecary who set a particular type of apparatus that could cure people from the diseases they were likely to get here. it is a most certainly distillation. evidencefairly good that they experimented with it here where we are standing. this is the first place if you like where bourbon was distilled in america. the second thing the colony is famous for is the first thanksgiving. that is contained in the articles of instruction for the colonists when they came here. they had to say thanksgiving both in their arrival and annually on the date thereafter, find a special day for it. what's interesting is that the idea of thanksgiving comes out of a christian ethos of the colony and specifically part of the instructions for the promoters of the company issued for here. it gives an idea of the christian ethos where thanksgiving was intended. yes, quite clearly i convin
