and if president trump had a conversation with vladimir putin or with xi jinping that was about foreign policy and if i disagreed with what he said or his judgment then i may criticize him. but that would not be a legal issue. that would not be an issue of violating the constitution. here you have a case of allegations that the president is asking a foreign government to interfere with the election. and that's the problem. it's not that he is engaged in a foreman form of negotiation that i may disagree with. >> lyssa on twitter wants to come back to the politics of impeachment. writing, regardless how have how pelosi's meeting goes today it will be hilarious. either she camps down hopes of impeachment again because she knows it's a big fail or moves forward to the big fail and that's a win/win for trump. how would you respond. >> i don't think it's a win for trump. if it were a win for trump he wouldn't have a battalion of lawyers trying to do everything he can to avoid impeachment. i don't know a single person president of the united states who says you know, when i'm in the history bo

will not be attending so canadian prime minister justin trudeau russian president vladimir putin chinese president xi jinping israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu and venezuelan president nicolas maduro so those are some pretty big top leaders where tensions are pretty high with that with the united states that will be missing out on meetings. few of them have some slight problems. just. so that the top of these meetings this situation what are the expectations what obviously you know president has always been about pushing and pushing to get them to the table so that you can get what you want what are the expectations that he might get what he wants well really it's really hard to say but right now tensions continue to escalate as u.s. secretary of state mike pompei o last week said that iran was responsible for the saudi attack trump has not come out and directly said that he's responsible but pompei also. i said our mission is to avoid war you saw what secretary esper announced on friday we are putting additional forces in the region for the purpose of deterrence and defense so the u.s. is responding

he is the most surprising of the no-shows alongside vladimir putin and xi jinping.nnmarie hordern wrapping it up for us. now let's get the bloomberg business flash. credit suisse moving to contain the scandal of a former executive being followed. before starting an inquiry into the surveillance of its former top private banker after he defected to ubs. drama spilled into the open when investigators attempted to grab his mobile phone. internal memo the truth will emerge. facebook has agreed to buy a tech startup that lets people control a digital avatar using only their mind. it uses a bracelet to measure neuron activity. that determines the movement the person is thinking about, even if they are not moving. we have learned facebook is paying between $500 million and $1 billion for the company. lloyd's of london condemning what it calls shocking sexual harassment in the insurance industry. that is after a survey shows 8% of members witnessed such behavior in the last year alone. one in five respondents say they have seen people turn a blind eye. lloyd's commissioned

vladimir putin. think of xi jinping. he believes it damages u.s. relationships with those countries. he also has a personal feeling i am told that you shouldn't trust source like this, these are people who are quote selling themself, selling their governments out, as one former senior intelligence official described to me. the problem with this is u.s. intelligence depends on such sources to figure out what countries hostile to the u.s. are doing today and might do to harm the u.s. in the future so it's a remarkable thing for a sitting u.s. president to say, i just don't want to go there with those sources. >> remarkable, yes. but the president i guess attitude or position towards the intelligence community has long been an issue at large. >> no question. it has, we've seen it come out in public with consequence. this is a president who stood next to putin in helsinki and said i take his word that russia interfered in the 2016 u.s. presidential election. he has expressed doubts about u.s. intelligence assessments that north korea expands the nuclear program so far without bearing fru

he is the most surprising of the no-shows alongside vladimir putin and xi jinping. ,att: thank you veryh talking us through what is going on in new york. i want to get back to dr. burkhard p. varnholt, deputy cio, credit suisse group. he still joins us from our london studio. i want to talk to you about stock. there is a further upside in equities, and the u.s. is your preferred region. why is that? dr. varnholt: because it simply is the market where liquidity comes together. it also is the economy, there is no other economy in the world has as many world-class companies. likeer or not we quantitive easing and low interest rates, the reality is declining yields are bullish for equities because they raise the equity risk rhenium, which also in the united states and the rest of the world is at a record high. the short-term view is this market is driven by investors who have been sidelined and on the sidelines for much of this bull market. i have said this many times, bull markets do not die of old age, they die of euphoria. this market is as different from a euphoric market as i can tell.

is xi jinping going to be president for life? >> i strongly dismiss between vladimir putin and xi because they have a government system. a common almost bureaucratic tradition that goes back 4000 years, russia is an oligarchic authoritarian autocracy. even though you have two leaders who appears if they could rule for life you have 22 very event systems. xi can technically rule -- he abolished term limits but there are still term structures whereas in russia vladimir putin has been president and prime minister and he can decide which portfolio is more important. i can imagine a scenario where xi steps down either after one more term let's say because he has a number of rings. >> he is in his second term now. >> he could do one more and that would be unprecedented but it is a finite period and he has people around him from which he can choose. >> do xi jinping or others want a trade agreement with the united states or not? >> one of the hardest things to know is what the chinese people think other than what is mediated through the official spokesman. i try not to psychologic

the chinese president xi jinping, emmanuel macron and the russian president, vladimir putin. the president says he realizes people could be listening in and knowing all of this is anybody couple enough to believe that i would say something inappropriate with a foreign leader while on a heavily populated call? i would only do what is right anyway. only do good for the u.s.a. the house intelligence committee chairman, adam schiff of california says inspector general atkinson determined that the whistle-blower complaint is credible and urgent. should be transmitted to congress. the acting director of national intelligence, joseph mcguire, has refused to hand over details about the complaint to the committee. mcguire's office says it doesn't legally have to because the complaint is about somebody outside the intelligence committee. schiff said the justice department is withholding the information from congress, the justice department. he says he does not know whether the white house also played a role, though there's reporting that it did, because the committee hasn't been able t

before and as a diplomat, how that sounds to other countries, that is how xi jinping speaks about china and how vladimir putin speaks about russia. and smaller countries ask us what is trump talking about, do we want to unleash the forces of national am arouism around the . but our foreign policy is a bit of a mess. we have all these grand objectives, but iran is key. i agree that we are on a trajectory for a conflict with iran. i don't think that trump understands this. he thinks iran is like north korea. we can threaten them and they will come back to the table and that is not the course that he is on right now. he is in a real corner. >> evelyn, i have about ten seconds left here, but i want to get to you because there have been develops already related to the whistleblower complaint that reportedly based on this phone call that president trump had with the president of ukraine. he is set to meet with the ukrainian leader tomorrow and je biden is likely to make comments later this afternoon. just as the president is giving his speech. how do you see this unfolding? >> yeah, there is nothing to the biden sc

president xi jinping of china will not as will not vladimir putin of russia. leaders are not showing up this year. >> that's right. their relationship, china and russia, has been quite fascinating to watch. beijing and moscow have become closer. as we try to figure out what's happening in the world in terms of geopolitical politics. the trade war and confrontation with china, we are trying to figure out who our friends are. as the united states walked away from the pacific trade agreement at the end of the obama administration, as that happened it allowed china to inject themselves more particularly in this asian sphere. it's interesting to watch the president try to assert himself when it involves india and australia. jon: there was talk of a possibility with of a meeting between the president and the iranian supreme leader. but that appears to be out the window after those attacks on saudi oil facilities last week. >> that's correct. the two min things the united states takes into the general assembly meetings is what the thoak do with iran and should the un

. >> would twitter allow vladimir putin to have the account or xi jinping? >> if they were acting within our rules. it is slightly different but important, some governments have sought to manipulate our platform, despite propaganda information, through working our rules. one of those governments is venezuela. we made a public declaration that every account we remove from twitter for engaging in information operations covertly that we believe is responsible for that government, we made the archive available for the public and to repurchase. we have taken the same step with operations directed from countries including china, iran, and russia. it's not just the single twitter accounts, some governments also seek to manipulate our platform. we would take action to remove them and make it public so people can learn from it. the government takes violence against its own citizens, is that breaking twitter rules? >> it is happening off-line, and the key question is what's happening on twitter. >> thank you. >> thank you to our witnesses. the record will remain open
