uk. i expect it will be hard for the forecast of 3.35 report to come in. stickier than expected remains the case and these mums would be another example of that. >> the bank of england seems to be holding pat that we are going to see these numbers coming down very quickly as we get further into the year. is that not how it's going to lay out? >> we think they will come down sharply, the question is which side of the target do they settle down. we think it will be tough for to get below 2 because you've got -- the service sector is very sticky. unless we get good inflation back again, it will be tough to see that happen. >> this is john silvia from wells fargo. sounds var to tsimilar to the pn the u.s. where the central bank expects inflation to be coming down, but i would agree probably stickier than general and as a result, it still provides to me an incentive from the u.s. investor point of view to the more on the equity side than the fixed income side. >> yields are low. roughly 2.3 on

remain for the uk economy.il prices pose a clear risk and may rise further than assumed and unemployment may not cap inflation due to unclear productivity outlook. they say more qe is needed now to avoid damage to the supply capacity of the economy, which obviously is a long-term concern if we see the economy at these kind of depressed levels. just in terms of the market reaction, sterling had been ticking up before the announcement but it's dropping back. this is sterling against the dollar that we're looking at right now. also, let's just take a quick check on what's going on with the ftse which yesterday lost over 1%. today they're managing to gain back a little bit of ground. let's get back to arnab das who's still with us here from roubini global economics. there is some concerns that there is significant risk of further problems in the uk, economy concerns. two members in particular that we could lose capacity. how does that strike you in. >> i think the first thing to say about the bank of england and ab

the remaining uk operations are under pressure to leave. this is clearly not fair and not a sensible way to support jobs in britain. so we intend to introduce a tax regime based on the place of consumption where the customer's based not the company. and from this april, we will also introduce double taxation for relief for remote gambling. these changes will create a more level playing field and protect jobs here. i turn now to fuel and vehicle excise duties. high oil prices have put real pressure on household buj budgets and businesses. that is why we took action in last year's budget to cut fuel duty so it is six pence lower than our predecessor's plan. we scrapped the plan of annual above inflation rises regardless of the oil price. and today confirming the fair fuel statement above inflation rises will only occur if the price falls below 45 pounds currently equivalent to $75. these measures mean that this government has eased the burden by 4.5 billion pound at a time when money the very short. i do not propose to make any further change

75% of my children's generation smoked cannibis and between 3 million and 5 million smokers in the uk. >> that has not been detrimental to your health? >> if i was smoking cigarettes, i would be extremely worried. >> i haven't taken a back seat to that generation. i must confess i have never taken a drug in my life apart from prescriptions. >> i think that's generally wise. there was no need for further confessions. >> sir richard, the decriminalization, can we get it absolutely clear what you are recommending to the practice in switzerland, am i right? >> what the commission is suggesting is that policies like portugal or switzerland are ones the government should consider experimenting with. governments wish to go further, and deregulating cannibis, that's something which we think governments should experiment because you can make sure that the quality is good and not too strong. it is found by other magazines and other studies to be less harmful than others. all the commission is saying let's experiment with different approaches. >> therefore i am advocating that drugs and they are

can i ask what specific improvements of the uk regulation you would recommend. >> from the uk, 100,000 young people are arrested every year and it's growing for taking drugs. 75,000 of those young are criminal records which will mean it might be difficult for them to travel to seven countries. and what they would do is by actually moving drugs into the health department and not into the home office, if people had problems, just like in portugal, they should go in front of the panel of health experts to try to help them. if my brother or sister or children have a drug problem, i do not want the law to get involved and most people wouldn't want the law to get involved. they want them to get help. >> how do you study the strategy? >> i haven't myself personally. i'm sure the commission has? >> it includes early intervention and intensive support for young people and a number of policies that include education and health. all the different departments which are intended to provide diversion and avoid exactly the criminal roots which you are proposing. on a specific regulator change which w

let's look at what it's doing to the uk stock market. starting with the ftse 100, no surprise to see that that is the market that is trading in the red. the ftse 100 would be the market affected by this news from fitch. remember that britain is outside of the eurozone, but we still have quite a big dichotomy between the other euros and markets. the dax is currently up to the tune of 1.2%, weakness for the cac 40 and the zurich smi up by 0.65%. >> a mixed message is coming off here as well, looking at how the markets finished up two green, two red. the nikkei extending up by another .75%. it's really on a tear at the moment, the nikkei, boosted by the ever wakening yen, which lists the japanese exporters. i'll show you the yen in a moment. ad for the other numbers, hong kong up after closing in the red yesterday. property stocks continuing to get hit in hong kong, but that was offset by gains in the banks, particularly the hsbc. property stocks getting hit, lingering concerns over chinese premier wen jiabao's statement that real estate pr

let's bring you into this uk number. there's going to be quite a key one whether there's more qe or not. i can tell you that as far as pmi is concerned, 53.8 february services pmi, a little bit weaker than the 54.9. 56 in january. the services business expectation pmi in february the highest in a year. the latest survey suggested the economy grew modestly in the first quarter accord iing to th market. we did grow but less than expected in february. joining us for reaction, the senior director, bob parker still with us as well. bill, your view on this, uk escapes recession, is it? >> well, yes, and just. it's still growth and that's the positive thing that distinguishes the uk from, i think, the earlier numbers we were seeing coming out of the weaker economies in europe. and that's, to me, a much bigger crisis than looking at maybe weaker growth in the uk. it's when we get a reversal of the rally of the last couple of months which is coming and that's going to come on the back of people realizing that the tightening and s

it is the latest high being sold on our street in uk. cannot ask my right honorable friend now that we have regulations that allow us to act swiftly to ban dangerous highs, will my right honorable friend act on this immediately? >> we're grateful. prime minister. >> my honorable friend raises an important issue. we're determined to stand by the so called legal hihs. the home office is aware of this particular drug. we now do have this drug early warning system and so the system brings these things are attention but as he said, a decision now needs to be so timid and i will make sure that happens. >> ed miliband. >> mr. speaker, tim howell is a delivery driver. he is a married father of three and the sole owner in his family. he currently works 20 hours a week. next month under the prime minister's proposal and thus he works 24 hours a week, he will lose all his working tax credit from 60 pounds a week. these as i approach my employers to increase my hours but i told there simply aren't of the hours there. i would love to work full-time.

i think the government said the uk was pretty close to the top as being a bad place to invest. the political stability was be undermined by some of that fiscal instability. >> in other words in a country like the united kingdom, you were nations like angola in saying, you are a bad investment opportunity? >> it's -- yes. again, the invest was very much one of that enhanced recovery in making the best of the last stage, but it did appear that the capital could be more effectively employed elsewhere, and rates sort of stem prospect sure in the sea continues, the reversal running through. again, i'm not an expert on uk tax but in terms of the broad sweep what h think the instability of the tax regime was something that did impact on the flow of that investment. >> thank you. and i appreciate the fact that you have come all the way to be part of theti morning. very credible panel and you have certainly enhanced that credibility. thank you, mr. chairman. >> thank you. gentlemen, let me leave you with one other kind of thought, because i know not just this committee but others in thi

phipps threaten the uk with a downgrade just last week.ritain was also placed on negative outlook by moody's as well back in february. mr. osborne will be keenly aware of the need to flag the economy as well, because gdp was down 0.2% last quarter and some economists expect a further decline in this quarter. politics will also play a significant role in the chancellor's budget as he looks to please his fellow conservative party members as well as coalition partners within the liberal democrats. for an idea on what we can expect to hear from mr. osborne later on today, let's get to my next guest. i'm joined by kathleen brooks, a research director here in london. great to have you on the show, kathleen. with we take a look at some of the concessions that have been made, all sorts of headlines have come out the past few days. where would you be putting your money. >> i think it will be a fiscally neutral budget. he doesn't have room to spend any money. if he's going to loosen the spigot somewhere, he'll have to make up for that somewhere else

in fact, american investment in the uk is eight times larger than china and uk america is nearly 140hat of china. so, yes, the world is changing at a faster rate than ever before and the ways we will influence events are changing with it. but one thing remains unchanged. the ceaseless back and forth between our two nations through ideas, friendship, business, and shared endeavor. and that's why i believe that we can be sure that in 50 years' time an american president and a british prime minister will stand ons we do now. they will stand here as we do for freedom and for enterprise. our two countries, the united states of liberty and enterprise. that is why i'm so pleased to be here today, to celebrate an essential relationship that as you say has never been stronger and to work with you to make sure we deliver that and to make our countries closer and closer still. thank you.

here in the uk, we're looking at gains of about 1.2%. in germany the dax is moving by 9.3%, almost 9.4% for the cac. if you look across to what's going on in italy, declines coming in at nearly 4.4%. in italy where they're struggling with austerity, the standoff between the unions and the governments, so that's speaking markets there. the euro/dollar is currently trading at 1.62. the euro/yen is also moving up by about half a percent. in fact, significant moves there. dollar/yen at 83.82. there will be a great deal of attention today on sterling as we get further into the day because we we have the uk budget. now, along with many european countries, think it's safe to say all european governments, they're trying to hang onto the prize, the triple rating. clearly growth is flagging badly. so the chance of george osbourne trying to tread the fine line. plus we had the bank of minutes. the policy committee minutes. they decided to leave minutes changed. so we found ott at least two members or two members exactly voted for more quantitative

as can you see that's the highest in the g-20 and it also which beats the pretty big uk economy. we have a guest who compiled that report and earlier he spoke with our richard quest about how the uk is ahead of the pack. >> britain is a nation of digital shoppers and digital shop keepers and took advantage of it to ship goods around the world to go into global markets as well as to shop online. >> but if you analyze the reasons why some countries have taken to it like the uk, south korea and so and those that haven't, what do you discover as the difference? >> so there's several differences, first of all internet access and quality of the infrastructure and do they have basics in place for e-commerce? does the government provide consumer protections on fraud? do they have the logistics infrastructure to ship the stuff to your home? >> do you get the feeling that policymakers understand that what is -- what is there and what needs to be done? is this given the same priority as say, roads, schools and hospitals because it seems to be as important to economies? >> some get it. they'

i know what the laws are in the uk, but you'd have to ask the clinic. >> reporter: so you don't know, really whether that product, which turned out to be fake, was made in someone's bathtub in egypt or turkey? >> i'm not going to speculate. but i know for a fact that my business followed protocol. they purchased this avastin through a licensed, registered wholesaler. we bought it through the regulated supply chain. >> reporter: it's situations like this why u.s. federal health officials prohibit importation of drugs through sources not approved by the fda. once you step outside the regulated and approved route for drugs, as one person told us, you might as well be playing russian roulette. armen keteyian, cbs news, new york. >> important report there. >>> shifting gears. a small town in wisconsin is booming, but no one is happy about it. since monday night there have been mysterious booming noises in clintonville, wisconsin. they say is sounds like distant thunder or someone slamming a heavy door. city officials can't figure it out. geologists say it might be shifting granite beneath

we ended up driving to tia juana with our family in order to return to the uk. we then had only five months to verify. we flew back to the u.k. for the interview which cost about $6,000, rather than processing in the u.s. embassies were rude to me and my bike in the process. -- wife in the process. we were a small company but had been in the u.s. for eight years, and had one of our best years. they seemed unaware of general business and tax accounting practices. however, my wife developeafter h the officer, the visa was approved. afton and there was finger wagging saying that you need to come up was something better than two years' time currently, there is no resolution for these types of green card holders. we will have to constantly trouble in the new at the will of immigration authorities. so how does this affect families? it affects our ability to run a business with unpredictable but times. it makes you unproductive and therefore unproductive thanks to the huge amounts of repetitive information required. processing fees which are a burden to the families in

followed by russia, germany, france and the uk. although they remain the same, their share of the international trade is declining. i guess there are some caveats there. we think that israel is probably underestimated in our rankings and accountings. outside the top ten there's a number of noneuropean suppliers that are merging as major competitors on the international arms trade. they're competing not just against each other but more established players, for example, south korea, south africa and brazil. but i think those of you who have hopefully seen the data, china is not one of them. to the volume of chinese imports has been declining but the volume of exports has increased by about 95% between the two periods we're paccing about. it's risen to be the sixth largest exporter from 2007 to 2011 and is within touching distance of the uk. one of the main reasons for the increase is the volume of import by pac stan. china accounts for around two-thirds -- i'm sorry, pakistan accounts for around 2,000 -- in particular delivery of jf-

so unemployment now is higher in the uk than it is here. even though it's still too high here.ery, very significant gap idea logically in terms of their economic approaches between the prime minister and the president. there are all sorts of reasons, you can argue there are different points in the cycle, yes, america is a reserve currency. but is the conservative government in london, as you know, came into power saying we're going to cut. this is their big difference from their labor predecessors, the left of center predecessors. this president has taken a very different approach. if you look at growth and jobs, there is a marked difference between these twos economies. >> this is bizarre. the very people who accuse the president of the united states, wanting to transform america into a socialist europe are the same people ho support the policies that are failing abjectly in europe. >> yeah, you've got to wonder what they understand by things like socialism and european politics because mostly now in france, germany and the uk, you have right of center governments, now they ma

and uk's involvement in the development of the iraqi oil law, for how oil contracts would whatnot. and one of the things that he ran into at the state department was that, even though the 2007 law open government act said, upon shall give requesters estimated dates of completion. the state department was saying we are sorry, we will not give you an estimated date of completion and they said that very consistently and they said it to him and they said it to us and they said it to some other colleagues that i had sort of sent out feeler requests for status updates. and so we filed a lawsuit for the records, and we stuck a pattern of practice complaint in there under payne saying, and overturn the pattern of practice of refusing to give estimated date of completion, and that was mudded versus central command. that's the opinion that y'all have why yo have in your packet. for the first time since payne, payne was a big brouhaha and then everybody i think forgot about it and there were three or four cases that ever mentioned it between it coming down and mudded, and in muddit, judge bar

it's the uk february jobless figures. and, in fact, more people joining the unemployment lines than have been expected. the rate was 7%. the february adjusted claimant rate is coming in with forecasts up 5%, coming in right at 5%. the ilo jobless rate coming in at 8 347.4% which was in line w analysts' expectations as well. we should be paying attention to what's going on in the bond markets, the currency markets as a result of that. sterling is at 117.19 against the dollar. sterling moving onnen the backside of that news. also, hitting a record-high too. we've seen unemployment ticking higher. youth unemployment continuing to gain as well. jackie. >> thanks for that, becky. meantime we're watching futures in the united states as we're getting set for trade on wall street this morning. let's take a look at the board. it looks like we're seeing a little bit of positive momentum. the nasdaq, just above the flatline and the s&p 500 just above the flatline as well. this as the equities finish hider yesterday. we had a market

we were in touch with regulators in the uk and elsewhere. but given the time frames and the lack of preparation, you know, we didn't -- didn't do as much as we would be able to do with a lot more lead time. i think that was a weakness of international collaboration. for the most part, though, countries cooperated in dealing with the financial institutions that were based in their own countries. aig was an american company. we dealt with that. whereas a company like dexia which was a european by the eur. also, there was a lot of cooperation between central banks and i may have a chance to say a bit more about this. but there were of european banks that used dollars, that needed dollar funding as opposed to euro funding. thundi both because they held dollar they made dollar loans,upport t which is often done in dollars and they needed dollars. the pe provide dollars so what we did was what we called a swap where we gave the european central bank dollars they gave us euros. they took the $s we gave them and lent them to european banks taking of
