as long as the u.k. remains a member of the european union the u.k. to go on implementing european union law. mifid ii is one of the biggest pieces of implementation we will be doing during this period. hot on the heels of that, in the context of the withdrawal legislation in the u.k., we are working with the government, having to go through all the regulation and the rules that come from the european union and work out how to transport them into u.k. legislation and rules. that is a big job. we are well underway. that includes having to deal with mifid ii among other things. we are trying to work out how to transport it into u.k. legislation. which is challenging in terms of timetables and load but we are having to do that obviously. the commitment of the u.k. is that on day one, we essentially have the same framework of legislation, rules, operating as we do, that is the point from which the u.k. goes forward. nejra: does this in any way mean you will have to adapt more as the sca -- as the fca, u.k. firms might get more time or leeway? >> as a memb

u.k. foreign secretary falls in line on brexit. members of parliament take stock of brexit with barnier. doubling down on catalonia. spain moves to tighten its grip on the region two days after its independence vote, while the eu refuses to recognize the regions referendum. welcome to "bloomberg daybreak: europe," our flagship morning show. i am manus cranny. anna: i am anna edwards. hammond, philip yesterday, talking not about policy but the labour party. we will discuss that later in the program. we will talk about the leadership of the party. theresa may is in the hot seat. has ambitions towards that seat. about thelk more future of the leadership of the party. we need to talk about the markets. despite what we hear from the white house about how there will be no talks with north korea, the markets are heading higher over the last 24 hours. data, younufacturing have already been starting the conversations. we will hear a little from one of those. the chief secretary from the u.k. treasu

the dots, the big exporters into the u.k., they need a stronger us economy as well. the u.k. close to them. manus: that's perhaps what theresa may is banking on. the other consideration, of the imf and world bank meetings. unemployment is at a four decade low. he is reinforcing his rhetoric. how far away are you? this is the european market. this is the british market. it's virtually shoo-in in november. he really runs a big risk if he doesn't. he better do it. that impedes all that's in because him? a reliable boyfriend. -- unreliable boyfriend. 25 points panic cut been taken away, make sense. it would have to be really we do really week data this week. it would be a big surprise. he must be frustrated about being called on unreliable boyfriend. i'll be the cast. how that all adds up into picture for november. on the policy extent, it's difficult but not impossible to draw a line between what's happening and another early election. we had five years between the that's between them. them.ween said there's an excellent threat to the u.k. economy. germany is not happy with that

and the u.k. is going to be so they're saying let's let talks progress even further and then we'll talk about the some the e.u. though says no that is not going to happen so we're going to have to see what happens in the next couple of months on that because that was case scenario they're going to be in this exact same position two months from now in december and that really would be a disaster not just for the u.k. but for the e.u. as well and if they continue to be in the same position i mean you might even get the potential no deal scenario we know that london's brags that minister said again on friday that he is prepared to walk away empty handed and i just want to listen to what he said and then talk about it with you there after. what we've been doing for over a year now since august of two thousand and sixteen is making preparations for all outcomes now we don't want to no deal but if one comes we'll be ready for it so charlotte i mean i sense some confidence there from him you seems as if

twenty seven so without the u.k. but also in the u.k. they have understood that they're giving her a little more leeway and while officially still insisting on those principles i wife from the president of the european council donald toast presented the so-called leaders agenda to discuss the reforms proposed by france's president ma crawl all those reforms real solutions. what you have at the moment is you have a very enthusiastic french president with a lot of energy making a lot of proposition suggestions all over the place and i think there's two fold here what dawn of the president of the e.u. council is trying to do is giving all those visions of that energy a little structure sort of channeling what the call is proposing and at the same time not only channeling it but preserving the ambition that is behind it because that you have to think about it you know if you still have twenty eight member states that might not agree with everything that a minute michael is saying that's one problem the other problem is that often in the past

we in the u.k. come have been very oh to startups. best very open to fintech.erestingly, i saw this as a board member before i became chief executive, there has been a really important mindset change, but when you can and cannot do. to be some truth to it, but we do not have a royal as regulator to enable change. best we do have a rule as regulators to enable change, and we are enabling it. we're having to answer the question because our local book -- our rulebook was designed in a different age, sometimes against the way in ways that we should look at. has taken a big lead and i am very proud of what they have done globally to react best globally. we have strong alliances now with other parts of the world, singapore, hong kong are two examples of countries that followed strongly. i really hope that we will have this in relationship with the eu. i do not see it as a race to see who has got more fintech, one thing about fintech is it is pretty borderless. that rules for another time, you made reference to that. when you look at things like cryptocurrency, contra

this is a lose lose situation they never wanted the u.k. to leave whereas for the u.k. side at least for those who campaigned in favor of bracks that they will hope to make this a success and to some extent that's a position is reflected when david davis keeps laughing in these. difficult negotiations when he talks about a substantial progress for instance when he says you know things are moving forward while his counterpart is saying we're in a deadlock and that is the ultimate also for the u.k. that they have to negotiate on something where later they have to say it's a success and the out of the likely outcome at the moment is either no deal or norway deal which would mean everything stays as it is but the u.k. would have no more say in the decisions of the e.u. institutions taking that into account again what you've just been reporting both sides needing to say face what's the possible way forward the very hard to say there's some talk about a transitional phase we're currently we're down to seventeen months to go now you have to substract a couple of months because

u.k. time. revenue andn the the trading revenue of 1.51 and the market had penciled in 1.60 6 billion. progress on the preparedness for an asset management ipo, this is one of the parts of the business deutsche bank is looking at most closely, progress on preparedness for an asset management ipo. let's get back to my guest. one thing i saw in our own copy, calleds a backstop, it's 15 billion euros of reinvest will be touring bonds that the ecb actually bought. let's say they take it away, they take up 30, the next trade here is still a little bit bullish. i think the market understands all of this. it's these important moments that indicate the direction that policy is going. as we've seen from previous big events from central banks in terms of going into qe programs are coming out in any way, the markets tend to price in that whole action very quickly and well in advance of the actual full change of policy taken place. it is still a key event although the markets understand with the reinvestmen

the u.k.ld keep paying the eu budget for two years after brexit, around 20 billion euros, quite a bit lower than the 60 billion euros put forward by the eu. what theresa may also said, or signaled, is that she needs a deal that she can sell back to her electorate in the u.k.. one thing about this cap -- some it is the previously, both the eu -- u.k. and eu saying, there seems to be a little bit more of a tone of cooperation. german chancellor angela merkel sanctions very motivated to move talks -- angela merkel saying she's very motive to move -- motivated to move talks up. that doesn't mean there's necessarily a time frame, but there was a little bit of a shift in tone as to when talks might move on. guy: it's interesting, still comes down to money, doesn't it? what can we expect in change by december? nejra: it certainly does still come down to money. guy, to the point what we have heard, -- to that point, what we've heard from some leaders is that the pledges, the u.k. has made a signal the

the u.k. conservative party conference gets underway. looks told a hard brexit increasingly likely. we will take you live to manchester. and the constitutional crisis. pro-independence groups call for a general strike. today as the european parliament decides it will debate the referendum tomorrow. how will the eu ultimately handle this confrontation? with less -- we are less than half an hour from the start of cash trading in europe. what are the fair value calculations on the bloomberg telling us about that start? honestly, nothing to see here is where we find ourselves at the moment. indications of a flat opening. not a lot going on. but you have to appreciate where we are. the dax hit a record yesterday. a similar push yesterday stateside on the snp -- s&p. equities feel on the front foot at the moment. the dollar definite -- definitely feels on the front foot as we watch it make its climb. its turn to the gmm and look around the world to see what is going on. the aussie dollar, the rba co

says the u.k. must make more concessions on divorce issues before the two sides can start talking about their future relationship. theresa may did her best to keep up appearances but to many here in brussels her performance was little more than a staging of the impersonal close. even as negotiations have all but stalled the british prime minister continued to play coy how much is one willing to pay and when the answers to those questions remain a mystery the full and final settlement will come as part of the final agreement that we're getting in relation to the future partnership and i think that's absolutely right. the two sides continue to lock horns over how much britain should pay to settle the divorce from the e.u. friday's morning meeting did little to sweeten the souring relationship but prime minister may didn't come completely empty handed she offered e.u. leaders an olive branch pledging to protect citizens from britain even after it leaves the union the u.k. and the e.u. share the same o

clearly, the u.k. does not want to leave. the u.k. ever more week in its ability to -- evermoreweak in its ability to in its abilityk to negotiate. of timethis extension until things settle by nature rather than decision. guy: kindergarten. we will leave that one alone. i am joking. [laughter] steen: wasn't it what they said about the whole politics? guy: yeah, anyway. so buy the pound? how high does ago? steen: i have been doing this for a number of decades. guy: just pick a number. steen: sterling below 140 overlong periods is very difficult to see. 140 is the ultimate rate by which the u.k. is still competitive and the global investors show faith in the u.k. market. what is increasingly happening when i turn around in the world is people are starting to understand the u.k. is not just breaks and thinking -- bricks banking. you have all the telecommunication companies. you have the highest concentration of phd's per capita. there is a lot to say for the ability to adapt. this country has never not been willing to stand up and delive

and u.k. actually take verifiable action and start limiting its assistance to the coalition their behavior likely will not change the only time we saw a change in behavior by the coalition was and it was a small change in behavior was when the u.s. put partial arms sales on hold under the obama administration due to gross violations of human rights and air strikes that were targeting civilian areas so there needs to be more action particularly from the backers of the coalition and i think domestically in each country in the u.k. and the u.s. there is growing domestic opposition to involvement in backing of the coalition and it's really reaching a fever pitch so i guess and i think this block list is a good first step but more must be done pick up more on that point which you mentioned about action from the backers but with for we go down that route i want to bring christine back into the discussion what does being put on a u.n. blacklist. i mean for accountability in practical terms. well i th

if you look at -- we talk about the u.k. trade with the eu. about 44% of u.k.ted to the eu. that is why the brexit negotiation is quite important. mark carney made an important part about trade dates between the u.k. anti-e.u. when he said we are not as much trade with the eu, we trade through the eu because a lot of the goods the u.k. since to the eu are then exported to components and used to make other goods which are exported on to other countries. it is difficult to look at isolation of the u.k. trade with the eu or any other country. there is a story in the telegraph newspaper today that the u.k. may want to join nafta. that may be a reasonable idea but not sure if we will draghi u.k. economy to north america. changes the north american free trade agreement title. >> from the u.k. perspective, they want to go into a trade deal with a country like the u.s., which is seemingly hell-bent on extracting the most value as it can over the trade agreement. as it will be shaped in the future. trying to look for trade deals in the u.k. is not positive to me. one of
