uk inflation data coming out half past 9:00 london time. currency markets, euro-dollar, we got up to about 1.2979 yesterday. we're back over the 1.30 mark. dollar-yen a little bit firmer getting back towards 1.79. aussie dollar, 1.0278. no real indication of anymore rate cuts to come, so it has strengthened a little bit. and that sterling you can see also firmer over 1.61. expectations cpi will come down and that may allow more qe possibly in november. so we'll see whether ultimately it stays. let's get a look out of asia. >>> asian markets picked up steam. the nikkei outperformed ending higher by a strong 1.4%. softbank shares rebounded nearly 10% leading the rally and other mobile operators. more on that deal with our guest coming up. shanghai composite ended flat. but phrma companies and military stocks outperformed. shares in hong kong managed to eek out modest gains helped by developers and tech shares. but china holdings slipped over 4% of a toeof a dropped bidses. meanwhile australian banks and techs helped the asx 200 finish in the

george osbourne says the uk is now getting it right when it comes to tackling debt. set to announce as much as another 10 billion pounds in possible welfare spending cuts later. >> we're one of those western countries getting on top of dead problems. 10 there is proof there is international confidence in our plan. >> bae bigger shareholder says it would be better left as a is an alone company. and angela merkel visiting greece as finance ministers meet in lex upburg. lux upburg. >>> a warm welcome to you state side. u.s. stocks indicating down at the moment. s&p last week was up just over about a%. currently indicating 11 points below fair value. european stocks dragging the indicator down, currently off about half a percent. and after a good week last week, european stocks down between half and about a percent. foot city 100 down three quarters. it was up last week. ibex down just under 1% at the moment. p but bond yields still pretty contains. so what are investors to do at the start of the new trading week? here's some of the thoughts already expressed on cnbc tod

and uk on one side and russia on the other. hole in the middle of this is what is a post as sad, assad syria going to look at, what is the political and security order of a post assad era on? >> you has mosni on the panel you need to get egypt, iran and others around the table. >> it seems me he is right, basically, because all of those four countries have got a buying interest and we have interests as well, so i think we -- >> you don't mind the idea of iran being part of that and saudi arabia? >> they already are a part of it. >> they have dealt themselves in but in a negative way. >> but the united states has not bought into that idea. >> it is very difficult and if you are saying to me what is going to be the thing that in the end find a way through, i haven't yet seen a military plan that has said to me, yes this is a way of protecting those people. and -- but the threat from the minister in my time said the definition of foreign policy is stopping people from killing each other and i am not seeing governance or intelligen

and uk. joining us now with a first on cnbc look at this research is michael silverstein, partner at the boston consulting group. michael, thanks for joining us. you're also co-author of a new book being published today called the $10 trillion prize, captivating for newly affluent in china and india. so a couple things to talk about. first of all, what is the comparison between british and american consumers and chinese ones? >> chinese consumers are optimistic, excited about their future. 80% of chinese consumers say their children will live a better life. only 20% of american consumers say the same thing. american consumers are under financial stress. 51% of american consumers say they have a level of financial instability in their life. about a quarter of them are worried that they'll lose their jobs. and the opposite is true in china and india. both of which have economies that although in a slightly slower time frame now have an incredible eight years ahead of them as they rush to 2020.

she is apparently in the uk. the medical director at the hospital is giving us an update. gregg's and got out of the woods. having said that, she is -- >> not out of the woods. having said that, she is communicating very freely. and she is writing. she has a tracheotomy tube in because her air was swollen by the passing of the bullet. she is not able to talk, although we have no reason to believe that she would not be able to once the tuba is ours, which it may be in the next few days. in terms of her injury, she was struck just above the back of the left side. and the bullet went through the side of her jaw, damaging the skull, the jewel joint -- the jaw joint, went through the neck and some of the tissues of the left. the bullet was removed pretty much straight after the event. >> there is that update on the teenage girl shot in the head by the taliban in pakistan. still to come, professional cycling is struggling to its sponsors. -- to get sponsors. doctors in the u.k. are to become the first of the world to have regular performance checks to review how they practice. t

>> the uk is changing. relied on an enormously strong financial services capital to prop up the economy. and we've lost sight a little bit of that engineering entrepreneurism. the uk produces a brilliant entrepreneurs, great ideas people. the capital, what we call genuine growth and risk capital is the challenge. >> so it's not financial capital. it's human capital. >> i think it's both. you have a lot of people that are more than prepared in the u.s. to leave their day job, fail three times and do it again, and everyone gives themselves ughs. in the uk, you fail once. >> on the financial capital side are you going to list with nasdaq? >> we as a public company, like any public company, say what's the best environment for us to grow the business. we evaluate that on a weekly, monthly, quarterly basis. we talk to people like visa and say where do you think we should be to build this company optimally? >> that's a no for the moment, i think. good to speak to you. thanks very much. would president obama shout

do we have the same numbers in the uk? >> i think anyone in the market would decide what to do for christmas and they've got their main products ready. but you do find sometimes the significance or opportunity to outperform expectations. >> so what would christmas ordering be like? expecting a poor christmas or will they actually ask performers as to what they're thinking earlier in the year? >> we saw quite conservative views about christmas. people were quite worried about europe. so that was holding people back. on top of that, we saw markets were very unsteady, particularly in this second quarter period. for that reason, i think people were very anxious about it. if anything, i think things have come through rather better than expected. >> a little bit more green since our last check. let's look at some of the european markets. we've got the cac in france opening higher. this is the biggest decliner on the cac this morning. the company has been battling us. markets declining across the global sphere. we've also had som

the first is the uk. on the uk side i have one simple question. in gdp basically going to last the extension of the olympics and economic activity or is it just a one off. >> i think it's a one off, rick. i think it had to do with the olympics and as you say a tremendous amount of people. i think britain did a fabulous job with the olympics, but i don't think it's going to last. >> second question, they say imitation is the greatest form of flattery. i never thought i'd live long enough to say france seems to be imitating the united states. they're going to continue to write checks to companies. they're continuing to guarantee banks. is this really the answer? raising taxes, once again, similar to the arguments in the u.s., it seems to me europe's second largest economy has a problem. your thoughts? >> my thoughts are in exact agreement with yours. they have a huge problem. one, they're up to about 65, 70 billion in state guarantees. part of that is dexia. the actual number by the time the dexia derivatives and guarantees are dealt with could be a

a very successful campaign, reached millions of folk within the uk. we also with our own pharmaceutical society placed attractively flits within prescriptions. a number of other areas, collaboration with stakeholders which has enabled us to actually come up with a clear watch list of products that should be subject to surveillance and testing. the second item is incident management. a key priority is to remove dangerous products from the market, to quarantine or to seize those products. having done that to set up a team which is chaired at a senior level in the agency, which drives the testing, the recall, the media, and so on. finally, investigation and prosecution of the counterfeiters. looking for custodial ship weather is crime that has been proved, seeking to gain financial recovery of ill-gotten gains from these criminals. we've mentioned and jia and internet campaign. this year it will have involved over 90 different nations worldwide. i won't go to any details but we seek to use all the means possible to actually increase awareness amongst the

and perhaps anywhere more than the uk. you have schemes like funding for lending which basically are saying to companies -- saying to banks if you're involved in this, you don't have the hold capital. >> that's a countercyclical policy where as you remember, when the boom started, what we got was leveraging recognizing and regulators allowing that to happen and now we're trying to recover from a deep recession, we've had regulators trying to increase capital. this policy, which it's been announced, suggests a little opposite policy suggesting that perhaps banks can lend without having to raise more capital. the global stability report from the imf says that in order to get leverage ratios down to where regulators want them, banks are going to have to treat their balance sheets by anything up to three trilliwo trillion e. >> that is a huge sum. and reminds us a lot of what is happening not quick enough is deleveraging. but the problem with deleveraging is as you sell assets, you put downward pressure on assets can start thi

back to the uk. police and protesters have been clashing in london as hundreds broke away from anti-austerity demonstration in an attempt to stall some of the big companies. mcdonald's among the demonstrations with allegations they didn't pay enough tax. >> reporter: around 150,000 people took to the streets of britain's capital on saturday calling for more jobs, higher taxes on the rich, and an end to cuts. >> they have come from across the uk and in some cases europe to make their voices heard. and the focus is solidarity with spain, portugal and greece and it could replicate itself here in the uk. >> people are against the austerity programs. >> we're here to support against the austerity. >> i'm here to oppose what's happening in the schools and show my support. >> reporter: union organizers said their he mess an to the government was clear. >> government's policies of austerity are simply not working. we have an economy that's flat on its back, no economic growth, and it's causing immense damage

when you come to a country like the uk, like the u.s. even, it has walked back significantly from this rhetoric that they need to do something about these large deficits immediately to make sure they don't harm growth. >> greece's case is a special one. they definitely need to do something on the fiscal front. imf has pushed the notion that greece needs debt restructuring. they're talking about whether there should be a delay. the imf has put on on the table informally that there needs to be a debt restructuring. i think you're overreading what they're putting into the uk story. when they did their review, they said if the economy slows down, you might have to change policy. well, what else would you do? sit on your hands and wait? in general they have been pretty consistent in favor of the tight fiscal loose monetary policy strategy. >> do you expect, does rbc, expect another restructuring? >> greece will definitely have on to do restructuring. the question is do they get one as part of a deal or do they take one. >> worth pointing out

in the uk where you were getting into. our family finished now we're living on our own with all our family and the old men and women have all finished now i used to live in a home at all dear but not really a home i used to live in the bush walking around living on the bush living free. but everything was really good. i don't. think. i'm. crazy and. now but if you can see through. my just a big tent the other the way to. what was the sit to be with the fifty's and sixty's is not acceptable and what's acceptable now much will be except the ten thousand years from now. there are. the end of ninety days you know and i became minister for aboriginal affairs and i went to britain to argue the case for compensation and clean up of the maryland delay it was because what was left behind is going to resume strong tea and ninety . any beach dispersed plutonium all over the place. i have real doubts about. the success of the claim that. they did was put sheltered life at the radioactive material. number one at first it should have fi

the issue is more politicized in the uk than here.nk chase could ultimately be ceo on an interim basis but i think in the long term there will be a murdoch that leads the company. and you have to remember, you know, rupert's mother, dame elizabeth, 103, 104, still alive down in australia -- >> he has good genes? >> good genes. >> does it matter if they hold board positions? the murdochs already control the company with almost 40% of the stock. so, you know, does it matter if they're on the board or still controlling the board? >> visaly? >> i think it's a matter of semantics here. if we have chase go from chief operating officer to chief executive officer, it's still the murdoch family that holds the major shots. on the margins people care historically if they see the family has less of a hand than day-to-day operations and chase has more room to execute his vision, the stock usually responds favorably to that. for example, last year. but ultimately, when i say that, it is a family-controlled business. once shareholders buy into it, t

the uk court says samsung did not copy apple's design for tablets.the british court said in part the galaxy tablet doesn't infringe on the patent because the the samsung patents were not as cool. that may end it there but may may appeal. >>> they are starting that there. locals will get their first taste of starbuck's there. they will open stores in new deli next here and they have locations in 61 countries. >>> a new study shows the bay area is less friendly to start up businesses than other parts of california, the bay area council economic institute says relatively expensive housing and the high cost of doing business here are part of the reasons. the report adds los angeles and san diego are home to started ups that have created more jobs there than here. earlier this month size up.com reported fremont and san jose were the best places in the country for technology start ups. >>> facebook is taking a page from apple's playbook, the social network issued a vague invitation to the med ofor media for an event there, that is the only clue. they start

the pakistani teenager malala yousafzai is being flown to the uk for specialist treatment after being shot in the head last week by the taliban because the 14-year-old was campaigning for the right of girls to go to school for. she need prolonged care including intensive be rehabilitation. with the taliban still threatening to kill her if she survives, the case has horrified many people in pakistan and around the world. now the latest. >> she began her journey in the early hours. doctors say they have done everything they can and now will rely on the u.k. to help oust. -- out. the teenager had been well known for writing a diary describing life under the pakistani in the swat valley. last week as she traveled home from school in a minibus packed with her classmates, a gunman shot her in the hip. she was in serious condition ever since. -- shot in the head. she needs long-term care. there will be scull reconstruction and more. doctors from the pakistan will pay the cost of treatment. many countries offered help, having been shocked by the attack. >> there's been a wave of public revuls

. >> christmas present for the uk then. okay. stick around. we'll get a bit more into the spanish story, as well. but let's check in on the markets in asia a. a quick look at what's going on across the region. a week when we have no shanghai composite at all. the kospi is back after being off yesterday. hong kong had a long weekend, too. but we are seeing gains. let's check in with singapore. >> asian equities mostly finished higher helped by economic data from the u.s. closed marginally in the green. standard charter's hong kong listed tracked shares in banking stocks despite reports of a dispute with its largest shareholder temasek, but weakness in energy majors offset gains on that market due to slumping oil prices overnight. japanese stocks pushed higher in late trade following the u.s. presidential debate where governor romney the pro business candidate appeared to outshine president obama. so the nikkei rebounded off a four week low with automakers and financials surging. but tech shares lost ground after hewlett-packard's profit warning

uk energy giant also raises its dividend. we're expecting again very low volume day, but still taking what we can get. we had good announcement coming through from deutsche bank, from ubs, even back here being the main gainer up almost 6%. ubs earlier on up more than 6% and now up about 4%. these are the best performing sectors here. not so good performing sector on the lower side here, swma, down about 9.6%. banking numbers looking a lot less perky. media doing fairly well. insurance up 1.3%. also car stocks, m.a.n. numbers defined as quite good coming through from the truck sector. remember the truck sector in general is a little bit of a leading indicator. so in we're seeing that pick up, that should be leading quite well. that has a lot to do with the strength of the yen. let's have a look at the stocks, the fwaners and losers. hugo boss down 1.6%, numbers coming through from metro earl year this morning, definitely below par. outlook a little bit bleak, however, fourth quarter is of course for all the retailers absolutel

we're launching 4g in the uk next week and that may drive sales. you have to have new technology. >> exactly. but if one looks at the last 12 months, there has been a massive increase in consumer demand for smartphones, and the apps that go into it. ultimately one has to challenge whether the consumer at least on a 12 month view if not on a two year view has reached market saturation. >> i can want to ask you a question about telecoms. we're at a strange time at the moment with equity valuations. i'm wondering whether that may sort of become slightly more attractive for investors if the cyclical stuff is rolling over. >> well, if you believe that we're in the stop/start equity market for the next two to three months and the last three weeks we've seen reversals in most developed equity markets, clearly investors are moving bank out of cyclicals into defense. and the big theme on defenses are you want to focus on cash rich companies will either they'll increase buy backs or increase dividends. in the case of telecoms, i think they will increase divi

but the uk, you're probably aware, the uk and u.s. regulators are working closely together in my understanding on what they view they are concerned. full of this too, so you've got the continent of europe and britain and the united states work on the same problem which is inherently an international problem. >> mr. volcker if i can parafriz what you're describing with the volcker rule. it strikes me what you're saying, there is one side of a bank which is virtuous by the fact that it equally balances the shareholders and the staff and the customer and there is another side of the bank which is nonvirtuous where it only balances the interest of the shareholders and the staff and the customers completely excl e excluded and that's the core behind the volcker rule. >> i reject the word virtuous and nonvirtuous. that's rather prejudiced. >> no. >> the one that has i think historically important public function, it's hard to see an economy working without commercial banks doing their essenti essential funkion. it's not hard for me to see t

given that our economy like behind the uk average, and, indeed, lags behind the position in scotland in terms of key economic indicators, when can we've spent an alliance by the prime minister on the steps he's going to take to help rebalance our economy? >> i do want to see the northern ireland economy rebalanced. it badly needs to because the size of the state sector is so big and it can't so much on north island gdp. we're pursuing a policy of looking at a low corporation tax rate for northern -- northern ireland. i do believe it's the only thing we should look at. we also need to see how we can boost manufacturing, small businesses, increase the rate of this started, and also do all the things we can to encourage inward investment into northern ireland which i've been doing, including on the text of the making to other parts of the globe. >> mr. speaker, on monday i was delighted when the prime minister put his personal rocket boosters for rehabilitation. will be first -- ensure that treasury stand foursquare behind the ministry of justice as they design and deliver a first gener

we have nigel from the parliament in the uk.el, before i do, i want to make sure we give starbucks a chance to address this ongoing story. and when we put forth the question to respond to these allegations or at least these strategies, here's what they wrote back to us. the most important thing to understand is that starbucks does pay tax in the uk. indeed, over the last three years we have paid over 160 million pounds of various taxes including insurance contribution for 8,500 employees and business rates. now, hearing that, nigel, do you have any comment regarding the committee set up to investigate these tax procedures versus the comments by starbucks? >> well, starbucks is spinning it their way. of course they would, wouldn't they? there's a big point everyone's missing in this. i know it looks hypocritical and wrong for a company that always plays it out on the world stage, hey, we're the good guys and buy fair trade products and everything else. but here is the point that everybody is missing. and i think left-wing politic

it's not like the uk, it's not like you're in a position to throw stones. >> our problem in the uk is the problem with that was if we'd heard romney say that a lot of that ez people es trapped by a system not creating new jobs and i'm going to create enterprise in america like we did in the 1980s to get these people out of that mess, that would have been okay. >> expressing -- >> but it didn't come across that bay. >> expressing empathy for people that have not and lifting them out of the position that they're in are two totally different things and i'm tired of hearing someone tell me how empathetic they are when they have no idea how to help those people. >> that was a clumsy statement and it did not say what nigel just said and he has admitted that himself, it was a clumsy -- >> let's not make mitt what he's not. mitt is a very modest man. he's a very decent man. what you see is what you get. i think we need more of that in america today, where you can connect with the problems of the american people in the middle and he made it clear the other night. the thing he's going to make c
