there were 13 unicorns created in asia versus 30 in the u.s.. this out, asia has already generated 11 as opposed to 19 in north america. on that note, the unicorn of the day is machine zone, the maker of game of war, famous for its kate upton commercial. offers have given it a $6 billion valuation. today we are seeing pluto like never before. here is an image of the planet captured by the new horizon. the spacecraft soared past pluto early this morning, having traveled over three he and miles since launching in 2006, reaching speeds of up to 30,000 miles per hour. it will take nearly a year and a half to retrieve all the data, but today's pictures are already telling is a lot about the edges of our solar system. joining us now with more on the significance of this probe, we have a doctor with us, a former nasa researcher who helped to collect satellite images from space. we also have a curator in astrophysics with us from new york at the american museum of natural history. thank you so much to both of you. chris, i will start with you. given your

europe has produced 13 new unicorns in 2015 compared with 22 in the u.s. over the same time period. according to the tech investment bank the total value of all european unicorns is $120 billion. only a sixth of apple's total value. >> you are, my friend head of a unicorn. >> well, we're getting there. we're getting there. thanks seema. hi wilf. how are you doing? >> is that reaching that $1 million as a start up. >> unicorns are mythical creatures. until recently the billion dollar start up is a thing of myth. now there's a few of them. europe is doing well but there's a lot more in the u.s. it's the rise of where the tech market is going. >> but the rise is quite extraordinary as you're saying this change that you can get so many $1 billion valued private companies companies. does that point to evaluations? >> to its a phenomenon. it's a time of technology changing the world. there's a theory that software will eat everything but it's a time of financial markets with a lot of money being raised and searching for growth and technology stocks. private or public and one of the ones wh

u.s. we hear somewhat about technology companies and startups and it seems like every other day there is another 22-year-old with a big idea that will be a unicorn. however, according to this study, entrepreneurship is on a 10 year decline and at pre-recession lows. are we creating an economy where there are much greater haves and have-nots? jake: there's a lot more of this exciting headline grabbing entrepreneurship. small businesses are not being started at the same level and you see some of these software platforms eat up some of the world of small businesses and what used to be mom and pop operations. i think that's something we should be mindful of. kay: in the financial meltdown, there was no lending from the banks. the banks quit lending to small businesses across the country, almost without exception. it was really starving these organically-grown small businesses. peer-to-peer lending is a growth aspect in our economy and i think it will have a big impact on the small businesses. they can get loans from individuals willing to support them and get a return on their investment. it is different from the banks, but i think it will bring up

u.s. failed the hold out for a better bargain. the deal werry: have reached is not what i've seen ads on tv suggesting disingenuously. some sort of unicornving iran's complete capitulation. that is a fantasy plain and simple. of back there's plenty and forth because the foreign relations head, bob corker, said , "you've been fleeced" to carry -- kerry. direct quote there. the conference board index rose grownnd americans have more downbeat about the economy. the bloomberg consumer comfort --ex. to a five-week low dropped to a five-week low. cinnamon among those making -- sentiment among those making less than $100,000 was the lowest. markets are closing in europe. for the latest, we head to london for the scorecard. >> we are seeing a third day of declines for european stocks. the europe pus equity benchmark is on a little bit of a losing streak now after a nine-day rally, which was its longest winning streak since april 2014, and it has been a bit of a tug-of-war. on the one hand, we've had corporate earnings beating estimates. that was pulling the benchmark theer at the beginning of day, but in the end, it's been dragged down by gas co
