unicorn is the name for a company that has reached $1 billion, it's so symptomatic of what is happening technology, augmented reality, but so many companies are looking for a problem, rather than a really genuine business case, investors piled money in, the company is expanding value and colla pse company is expanding value and collapse on the other side, it's this ruling challenge we see in technology businesses. this ruling challenge we see in technology businesseslj this ruling challenge we see in technology businesses. i suppose it's difficult, if you spot the problem and you come up with what the problem is how dose your business sustain and find another thing? this stuff is so new and u ntested thing? this stuff is so new and untested it's difficult for anyone to understand it is a real business. i think the world of tech is so interesting, consumers tend to find their own way, text messaging was not supposed to be a part of the way mobile phones were used. like virtual reality, it is finding its feet, consumers are starting to work out what kind of virtual reality they really wan

so it was great to, you know, they were the darlings, the unicorns, and this was their time to reallyeir debut, and there's a question mark hanging over it now. >> the one thing that kind of strikes me, this is not any kind of breaking observation, but while we're all speaking, the thick that kind of hits me is, boy, i wish i was able to avoid being on this segment, or i wish we weren't taping them, but to you imagine if we went back and looked at -- [laughter] maria: we check on it. >> we really have no idea. and i think this year more than most that's kind of the theme. the uncertainty at the end of 2018, we really have no idea what's going to happen can with china. it's hard to make an informed guess on some of these things because there's been so much back and fort. maria: these are big issues, they've been stealing ip and forcing technology trf. you have to ask yourself is there an opportunity to actually broaden out the portfolio and maybe put some money into the short end of fixed income, because if you're going to get 3% on the ten-year or 3% even on the two-year, maybe it doe

nothing says happy camp like an inflatable unicorn.r showed no sign of bursting. the players engaged with the media, taking them on at darts, bowling. and as they opened up like never before, so did an easier path towards the final. but to make sure they got on it, they'd have to lose their last game against belgium. a dilemma. we've not won a knockout game since 2006. why we are starting to plot which would be a better venue for our semifinal is beyond me, really. fatigue, from playing, past experiences, plays a big part. it's brutal. if you're going to go deep into this tournament, i think fatigue is a real important part. gareth will think, "right, i'll put the strongest team in order to deal with belgium. " that's it. that's all he'll be thinking. and he's right. winning mentality. but changes were made. eight for england, nine for belgium, who were in the same position. it's an out of the ordinary city for a game that might also feel out of the norm. but what is the best way to go for? well, adnanjanuzaj secured a winning result i

as the previous government believing in a fairy tale you know it's like disneyland you know with unicorns and fairies we never go into the roots of the problem you can't add new no more police officer if it were but if they said if you have people under an s. file and those people are you know alexi to go everywhere that you can impose more strict than on french on the french population if you don't contain this radicalized movement then it's just a ground is just a recipe for more disasters. that sadly attack in strasburg follows a month long uprising by the so-called yellow vests to me month and rest lead to a manual mccraw in making concessions on monday promising to increase the minimum wage and scrap fuel tax hikes to ease the un west that's estimated to cost france between eight and ten billion euro the people in front and people in paris don't think the measures are particularly new or a big step. but if i am supporting the yellow vests i think it would be good if the minimum wage goes up the problem is that the government didn't touch taxes for rich people you see as i understand
