well, here in bournemouth, ag is somewhat underwhelming to say the least. welcome to bournemouth on the south coast of the united kingdom, famous for sandy beaches, seaside amusements... and having the worst ag mobile reception in the uk. i hate it. it's not good in anywhere, really. it's very, very temperamental and really, it's really not good. well, there's some good news. 56, the next generation of mobile network, is coming. but it's notjust about your phone. sg promises to enable self—driving cars, smart cities and the whole internet of things as every machine starts talking to every other machine. this week, the first stage of bidding to become a 56 operator in the uk ended with ee, 3, 02 and vodafone splashing out more than £1.3 billion for the privilege. now, to date, no standards have been agreed, but we do have a rough idea of what 56 should look like. so, let's get you sg—ready. five things you need to know about 56. one — yes, 56 will be much, much faster than ag. hd movies can be downloaded in seconds rather than minutes with speeds 10 t

there were underwhelmed almost embarrassed to especially not so more as you think probably felt a bit sorry for his former teammate seeing them suffering out there that have bigger concerns at the moment one really. they desperately want him to he doesn't want to and to the champions league and this is just another routine when if you're buying munich in britain is leka you know that may should not measured by beating teams and it's measured on champions league success now and i think it just shows how far the classic has worn that's four wins before the season for by and against goldman if you count the super cup and it really is symbolic of the the way dortmund have foreign in recent times bring you in michel i mean you said a word there which is routine i mean is this just becoming another routine game for byron munich essentially and that rivalry that you know goes with the classic essentially isn't there anymore the only clubs like ours in spain and that's what you know it's driven to barcelona since a long time it's not a classic anymore of course. off the finals the championshi

here in bournemouth, 56 on is somewhat underwhelming to say that —— ag is somewhat underwhelming to say the least. it took about the arrival of 5g. least. it took about the arrival of 56. i least. it took about the arrival of 5g. i say bring it on, bring it to bournemouth first. it might any fires for me. i can see it being useful for me in about ten years an eyecatcher with the rest of society. i still think about... is in 3—d? i am pleased with that. —— 3g. i still think about... is in 3—d? i am pleased with that. -- 3g. the local authority is looking to make bournemouth in the first place is globally to deploy sg bournemouth in the first place is globally to deploy 56 and become the first smart city, technically smart town in the uk. heading up the increment aish are not 56 is ruth spencer who took me on a tour to show me some of the new cabling and potential antenna sites that will underpin what will be a radical new job. ag to 5g is going to be a massive change in infrastructure. in ag, you would have big masts, long—distance paths. ag, you would have big masts, long-dist

view what canou only be called underwhelming european data in the last month or two? >> great question. it has gone from overheating to underwhelming. some of that is due to unusual weather patterns. some of that is due to shifts in calendar events. for the most part that we are likely to see, a bounce back here with some stability. europemore around 2% for going forward. that is a good sustainable level. yes there is a slowdown. mark: one thing mario draghi will be considering is the impact of the oil price that will feed through into the inflation. how do you view the oil price? the globallection of economy, the trend? how do you read the run-up in the oil price? interesting because it is not a supply shock that economists have worried about. this has been more demand driven. there are supply issues. helping.ngth is are -- the fact that we the drop in the dollar is muting the impact at the pump in europe oughtpan, and tax codes to meet the impact of oil. vonnie: we're looking at five trading days before the sell in may comes in. is that what was going to happen? wha

want to talk about the european inflation data that is continually underwhelming. what do you make of that? do you agree that, indeed, we are seeing peak growth in the eurozone? >> i think that is a big concern for mario draghi. some of the economic data in the first quarter has been a little bit weaker than expected. it pretty harsh winter over in europe. expectations are that we start to see the data improve as we go through the second quarter. though,the reality is, inflation is low and maybe if you squint it is on an upward trajectory. it is still well below are the ecb would like it to be. i think they have a very fine balancing act to make sure the euro does not strengthen too much. >> ian, always saying the likelihood of a much lower rate than in the u.s.. you think that is the case? >> the u.k. has a fair amount of headwinds facing it in the form it.exitb --rex like as we go through this transition u.k. leaving the european union, it probably does make lower terminal rates are likely here. >> i want to shift with this gap we are seeing between the u.s. and

. >> ian, because you are in i want to talk about your patient -- european inflation data that is underwhelming us. do you see that we are seeing some sort of possible peak growth in the eurozone? ian: we heard from mark carney overnight that some of this has been a bit weaker than expected. that of expectations are we start to see the data improve as we go through the second quarter. his inflation low? maybe if you squint it is on an upward trajectory but it is still with ucp would like you to be. it is not being helped by the strength. i think they had a very fine balance act to make sure that the euro doesn't strengthen too much. they will not be able to start normalizing policy. >> sticking in the city, a -- i wasfrom a viewer in the likelihood of it will come of it then say in the u.s.? do you think that is the case? the u.k. has a fair amount of headwinds facing it in the form of brexit. when you want maximum debt expectations of the this is from that 85 or 90% earlier this week. it probably does mean lower terminal rates are likely here. >> i want to shift to this cap that we are seeing

tesco shares jump, but asos slides as the online fashion store underwhelms investors with its first half sales >>> still on the line, toich dee telekom shares rise after trying to merge sprint and t-mobile >>> happy wednesday. we have a lot to get through markets are still grappling with the fallout or the results of the facebook testimony last night as well as various geopolitical tension that has been weighing on european markets. the markets are pointing to a weak start the stoxx 600 is down 0.3% let's switch to individual bourses. xetra dax is leading the down trade. it's the one with the highest beta to the broad index. down 0.3%. we had some earnings come out. ftse 100 down 0.2% we will get uk trade numbers and industrial production and manufacturing numbers. big day as far as uk data is concerned. switching to sectors, see where the leadership is coming from. we spoke about deutsche telekom. that is boosting the telecom sector, up almost 1% in trading as talks of a potential deal between sprint and t-mobile are back in the forefront. we had earnings out of tesco and asos earlier w

and impact will be underwhelming. if it is a coordinated effort not just for today but nor tomorrow and beyond that, might have a deterrent effect. by that we mean having more sanctions and more military pressure. but remember, we're in a box because of russia. the presence of russia limits our ability to move, limits our ability and what we can do and so maybe what we can expect is that this is a symbolic act. it's a statement. but it's not going to have tremendous impact. after all, the syrians and assad have gone through an incredible amount. today's efforts is just a brushup of his hair. they've gone through much worse. so militarily, it was a good statement but it's not going to have great impact. >> and peter, let's talk about the impact that it has on trump's domestic audience. what do you think the appetite for the american people is in terms of military intervention in syria and a continuous sustained approach? >> it differs. with the trump supporters they think finally the president could show his muscle and

ian, because you are in london, i want to talk about the european inflation data that is continually underwhelming us. do you see that we are seeing some sort of possible peak growth in the eurozone? ian: i think that has been a concern from mario draghi, and what we heard from mark carney overnight is that some of this has been a bit weaker than expected. a lot of expectations are that we start to see the data improve as we go through the second quarter. i think the reality is when you look at the ecb and the single mandate, inflation is low and maybe if you squint, it is on an upward trajectory, but it is still well below where the ecb would like it. it is not being helped by the strength of the euro. there is a very fine balancing act to make sure the euro doesn't strengthen too much, otherwise the inflation yield will come back down and they will not be able to start normalizing policy. lisa: sticking in the city, a question from a viewer wondering, given the flatness of the british yield curve, will we see the likelihood of a lower rate than in the u.s.? do you think that is the case? ian: th

trade dispute with thest united es, however, most of the people i spoke to today here said they were underwhelmed by the chinese president's speep. that's because these are old policies that are currently under way. the decisiongno lift for equity caps were announced at the end of last year and is already in motion. others like the lowering of auto tariffs are not meaningful since most american cars that are sold in china are made in china. on easing restrictions in manufacturing or enforcing intellectual property, there were few details and only vague timeframes. most importantly president xi's speech didn't address a core u.s. concern.ch a's industrial policies. so it remains to be seen whether or nh president xi's spe will be enough to appease the trump administration. there was someood news, though, for american companies. fund managers say jpmorgan and blackrock are looking to explore their asset management businesses here and could benefit. insurance folks expect big changes in the lif industry.e out of american companies, they say metlife is one of the few with its toe in this market. but

output and retail sales, german factory orders come all failing to meet expectations and continuing the underwhelming start to the -- the data asking -- economist asking if this mirrors a true slowing of momentum that could lengthen the timeframe for the ecb to normalize policy. another wonderful chart on the bloomberg, the oil and gold ratio, a history of two-year uptrends for crude. gold is set to rally or oil is poised for a correction, according to bloomberg intelligence. one ounce of gold buys about 21 barrels of oil compared with the average in the ratio of an ounce of gold versus a barrel of oil from the three-year low reached in march. higher prices for gold unless crude declines. barrelde roughly $64 per , the gold to crude reversed to the mean in this rate hike cycle, bully on with trade near $1600. tradeon nearhat $1600 -- would trade near $1600. changes follow a departure of the danske who was in charge of the baltic operations at the center of a money-laundering probe and the chairman said no corner of the organization would be free from the ongoing investigation. danske down by three qu

that the strikes from conducted by the united states by france and by the united kingdom were pretty underwhelming they're saying that this is not exactly what they were expecting you confident that the job has been that you have managed to degrade the chemical weapons facility of syria well the goal was to degrade the chemical weapons facilities in syria and that's exactly what we did the u.s. government in concert with the british and also the french had to carefully weigh our options there and one of the things that's very important to us and our allies is minimizing any attempt or any ability to possibly eartha those so we took that into account we took other things into account such as going for the pinprick strikes that can degrade the weapons facilities and we think we did that all right many people are also now all skinned what next i mean as strikes to make strategy what is the united states prepared to do next. well first of all of it let's look at what we tried to do before we have tried diplomacy we've done that that at the united nations security council we've done that with the europ

i think it is credible even as payroll number was underwhelming. we could use expert judgment which is why i feel it is important to hear from taylor morrison so yesterday, i got a chance to speak with the chairman ceo. we couldn't talk about the quarter but that left us a lot of ground to cover so take a look what i need to know, is there is a perception, feds raising rates. aren't there other factors that work this time given how low rates are and how every time in the economy is different. >> so true, jim, i subscribe to everything you said about unemployment rate and labor participation. but that is only a couple of areas. i think we should be focused on some of the demographic tail winds we have. think about the baby boomers and the millennials. we are only 1.2 million houses think about the confidence of consumers today. they are feeling good about their job. they are starting to see income growth we have such a tight supply. and the list keeps going. >> i want to drill down on these different demographic cohorts. still a lot of people living

did you find this mission a bit underwhelming, disappointing by sending a message to assad that we already sent a message and he repeated the same atrocities? what is the same point of sending message? why not wipe out their artillery and air bases? why not end it now? >> i think it was significant the response that we had. that was a pretty substantial attack. it was confined, proportionate. it leaves a lot of room for escalation if it's necessary. the russians, when they tried to intervene and broker in 2013 and run interference for assad to protect his possession and ultimately with a plan to help eliminate chemical weapons, that ultimately never happened. when they joined the fight in 2015, they have been running top cover for assad. throughout the last year or more, they're running interference for assad in the united nations which has enabled him to continue to employ chemical weapons. the international norm needs to be enforced that you won't use chemical weapons against people and noncombatants. so i think it was a violent but proportional attack and appropriate to stop what is hap

tired of this and tired of the overwhelming evidence against the democrats and hillary clinton and the underwhelming evidence against trump and the disproportionate enforcement against both. comey, i have to say, showed such a casual indifference to the funding, the dnc funding of the dossier and of whether it constituted a major part of that fisa application. it constituted maybe the whole thing. he acted like he still doesn't know that. has he been pushing his book only? how can he be that indifferent to the biggest thing going on during his tenure there at the end? i agree with greg. either he's terribly naive or criminally negligent and i use that loosely. not to know what is going on. they presented that evidence to the fisa court. and they represented to the fisa court that they had independent evidence to warrant an investigation of this court that ought to be treated with hallow respect. it was abused over comey's watch -- >> sean: who told him about the dossier when? he didn't know who paid for it? this is not adding up. i did get to disclose gregg jarrett's office is two doors down from mi

earlier in the morning and we just had the german flash print for manufacturing pmi, both very much underwhelming the picture for europe is weak as far as the trading picture is concerned. let's talk a bit about the technology sector in europe that is what drove the under-performance in u.s. trading yesterday. you can see this morning we have a whole bunch of the semiconductor space and chipmakers down, between 1% and 2% that's on the back of the story and reports that apple was thinking of processing its own microchip in some of its models from 2020 onwards. that impacted intel yesterday. you can see it's having an impact on european tech sectors as well. let's move on to asia. let's see how things are doing there. the tech-heavy index kospi has done okay in yesterday's trading. around that flat line, down 0.1% nikkei down 0.5% weak session, but then again not as bad as the chinese indices. you can see shanghai is down almost 1%. the shenzhen is down 0.8%. this again was on the back of retaliatory trade fears. another escalation in terms of trade rhetoric between the two sides. china announced t

the attorney general causes a deliberate attempt to undermine laws and underwhelm the system. could be a strategy arriving a group like this? >> well, this particular caravan i think is a mixture of both a public relations stunt if you will and will people seeking real help. there has been the caravan, equipping united states they have conducted trying to organize the caravans for the last several years. this year was bigger and i got a lot of attention. the entire point of doing the caravans, they certainly succeeded they got the attention from the president and all united states government. setting that aside, the people that they are dealing with are real people in real situations. each of them are entitled to have their cases heard. >> thank you very much. >> our william lodge -- is on the ground. he is by the fence with the very latest. hello william. >> i will tell you what, the central american immigrants are inside the building behind me. in a few moments maybe if humans we expect them to make their way from here down to the border and a port of entry itself or some 20

the markets were encouraged by this most of the people i speak to here say they were underwhelmed by president xi's speech that's because many of them, who have been long-term in china, say that they have heard these promises time and again, and also a lot of these policies are already under way. for example, the changes in the financial sector the decision to lift foreign equity capped was announced at the end of last year the lowering of auto tariffs are not really meaningful according to some auto executives i speak to because most american cars sold in china are also made in china. the third point is on easing restrictions in manufacturing or enforcing intellectual property, there were very few details and only vague time frames most importantly that i've been getting is that the speech did not address the main concern of many person businesses as well as the trump administration. and that is china's industrial policy so the big question is whether or not the speech is going to be enough to really appease the trump administration there was some good news for some american compani

those names in focus today now for most of the major european markets, the first quarter was underwhelming. london's ft-se 100 posting the worst quarter since 2011 the german dax saw a 6% drop followed by a 4% decline in spain. germany and spain are in correction territory markets in paris down 3% different story in italy higher by 3% led by a rally in the country's banks. speaking of bright spots, uk paid tv operator sky is on the rise today, 20% trade fox is mulling separating sky news from sky. fox also says it could sell sky news to disney now the proposals are aimed at easing uk regulators' fears about the murdoch family having too much influence over british media. fox is seeking approval to acquire the 61% of sky it doesn't already own shares up just about 2%. >>> and, of course, here nlt united states, here's one swedish company on wall street's spotlight and that is music streaming service spotify making the public debut today it has yet to open for trade what does spotify, minecraft and candy crush saga have in common? >> they're all swedish companies. >> yes, they are you're too

the young democrats in the room support her answer while the republicans walked away underwhelmed. >> my initial reaction to leader pelosi's speaking is she continued to exclude young republicans in every way. >> the truth is thousands of dollars are only crumbs to a person like speaker pelosi, may be folks in her san francisco district, but as a small business owner and working families across the country, and those who are being hired by small business owners, they're not crumbs. or the whole loaf of bread, what you take home and feed your family with. >> i'm never been more sure that i was a republican until after i heard her speak. >> one thing that the congressman was not asked about wasn't something her number two, congressman jim clyburn said his comments last weekend when he said all of us have to go, meeting all of the democratic leadership has to go including pelosi if democrats do not regain control of the house in november, but even if they do win, she still may not be speaker. she is facing mounting opposition from democrats saying she's been there for 15 years and she ne

underwhelming line to have. can we ever make the pay differential line go away? >> good morning. the thing about the gender pay gap was explained earlier, it shows not only help organizations are enumerated -- remove -- selection, development, promotion. some of these things are within the organization, they can look at how they can make those processes fairer to men and women. however societal issues that were talked about earlier, why is it certain careers attract females. airline industry we have more men than women who are pilots. seens it that pilots are as the male career currently and cabinet crew were seen as female. they are challenging those stereotypes. anna: this goes to the heart of this. one of the dangers of this data. maybe it focuses on a symptom rather than the cause. therey supported here say are not enough women at senior roles. that is why we are seeing this. does that explain the large disparity? that we areshows bias, and unconscious a number in black and white we can address why does that figure exist. wehaps we are doing things thought we were paying peop

. >> he was so underwhelmed. >> jimmy: does he like going to sets? is he -- >> he loves it. he calls it cowboy land. [ laughter ] he thinks -- and he loves james marsden. he calls him "teddy. he really thinks he's a cowboy. and he's going to grow up and he's going to watch the show and be like, "that's where cowboy land was!" [ laughter ] >> jimmy: no, yeah, exactly, yeah. what is happening with season two? because this is -- yeah, your character -- >> she's quite awake this season. >> jimmy: yeah. >> she is no longer under anyone's control. so she's redefining herself and she is pissed. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: she is upset. >> to say the least. >> jimmy: i know that you are fighting for equal pay for women. >> yeah. fight for -- yes, many rights. >> jimmy: yes. [ cheers and applause ] it's a great that you're doing that. >> yeah. >> jimmy: you went to washington d.c., didn't you? >> i did. i went to washington, d.c. i testified in front of congress for a sexual assault survivors bill of rights. because it was -- it became a a federal law but, you know, it's has -- you know,

the markets also reacting to a, well, a somewhat underwhelming jobs numbers. right in the jobs numbers were not great in this report. according to the labor department the u.s. added 100,000 jobs in march. that's half as many as the economists expected. the unemployment rate though held steady at 4.1% for the sixth month in a row. that is the lowest it has been in 17 years. the fox business network senior correspondent adam shapiro is live for us in washington. adam? >> trace, the job number that you mentioned 103,000 created, that was a miss in the eyes of not only analysts but investors. look at things like the unemployment rate 4.1%, it held steady because the participation rate. actually fell by 158,000 people. and one of the issues that we hear in regards to this is that that prime working age group, men and women between 25 and 54, they are not coming back into the workforce at the same rate as other age groups following the great recession. now, the other thing that is on the minds of investors, not just this jobs report, but it's china. and not only th

he spoke to the economic club of chicago on the day the labor department released an underwhelming march jobs number. it missed estimates and pretty much the lowest number we've seen as of recent times. he is backing sort of a patient approach to raising interest rates. in fact, you may have just recued janet yellen because he sounded just like her. add to that president trump's late night news he plans to add $100 billion in additional tariffs on chinese imports. plus his morning twitter attack on the world trade organization and you know, the markets never looked back or up because the dow had never opened up. it opened down 70 and now at this moment down 691 point. low of the session for the s&p, a loss of 75 points. we're down 68 right now. all the president's men not helping matters this afternoon. treasury secretary steven mnuchin coming out and saying he could see a potential full-blown trade war with china. he said we're not in a trade war but said a full force trade war. national economic council director larry kudlow said as much saying to fox business president trump's tariffs

well, here in bournemouth, ag is somewhat underwhelming to say the least. so we've been asking people what they think of the arrival of 5g. perhaps there are lots of exciting things that we don't know about, in which case i say bring it on, bring it to bournemouth first. it doesn't light any fires for me! i can see it being useful for me in about ten years when i catch up with the rest of society. i still think about...is it 36? 3g for me soon, and i'll be pleased with that. so, a bit of a mixed reception for 5g so far here. nevertheless, the local authority is aiming to make bournemouth one of the first places globally to deploy 5g and become the first smart city, technically smart town, in the uk. heading up the implementation of 5g is ruth spencer, who took me on a tour to show me some of the new cabling and potential antenna sites that will underpin what will be a radical new infrastructure. ag to 5g is going to be a massive step change in infrastructure. so, for example, in ag, what you would have had before is big masts, quite long—distance parts...

well, here in bournemouth, 4g is somewhat underwhelming to say the least. so we've been asking people what they think of the arrival of 5g. perhaps there are lots of exciting things that we don't know about, in which case i say bring it on, bring it to bournemouth first. it doesn't light any fires for me! i can see it being useful for me in about ten years when i catch up with the rest of society. i still think about...is it 36? 3g for me soon, and i'll be pleased with that. so, a bit of a mixed reception for 5g so far here. nevertheless, the local authority is aiming to make bournemouth one of the first places globally to deploy 5g and become the first smart city, technically smart town, in the uk. heading up the implementation of 5g is ruth spencer, who took me on a tour to show me some of the new cabling and potential antennae sites that will underpin what will be a radical new infrastructure. 4g to 5g is going to be a massive step change in infrastructure. so, for example, in 4g, what you would've had before is big masts, quite a long distance apart...

. >> a little bit underwhelming. the shares slid yesterday and what is interesting and a take away from this is that it may be that ge is announcing that it is going to shave down some of its assets to bring it out of this slump. grind of selling these assets. are we surprised they started with health care? people thought that was a potential growth area. peggy: i was surprised about that, too because they talked about refocusing on their jet aircraft and medical imaging which are some of their strongest business lines. john flannery did work in the health care side of the business for a long time, so it is possible that he knows that unit really well and understands they could do without it while they focus on the health care side when it comes to enterprise imaging. alix: jpmorgan is the biggest bear on ge and as don't worry about the sale, you still don't want to buy it. even when they do something right, they still don't like it. david: at least john flannery is doing what he said he would do. peggy: hopefully. d

one finalist says it is not over with yet after of first quarter print and the underwhelming reaction, so the large cap gauge for china off this week. the shanghai composite has lost 12% since hitting a two-year high in january, the steepest drop in the world. the question is will the national team step in to defend that. you for that. let's get first word news in hong kong. thanks. the world bank echoing positive comments from the imf saying the global economy is showing solid momentum. aowth should continue for couple of years, although there may be a downturn on the horizon. china willys continue to be a partner and driver, and the challenge is to boost lending to low and middle income nations to ensure the benefits are felt by all. to ensurellenge is strong growth will translate into inclusive growth so the benefits of global economic integration are enjoyed by all members of society. >> bloomberg is being told president trump has been informed that he is not the target of any part of special counsel robert mueller's investigation. deputy attorney general rosenstein told the presi

the product was underwhelming. honestly, i would say the burgers are average. but it didn't take long to find out why... you guys have frozen burger? -sammy: yes. lemonis: ...the four partners didn't know what they were doing. joe t.: keep in mind, none of us have had any restaurant ownership experience at all. lemonis: oh, i don't have to keep it in mind. i picked up on it. and instead of figuring it out... sammy: we had an idea. it [bleep] went to [bleep] lemonis: ...they fought bitterly. sammy: that's [bleep] that i don't love this place. joe t.: hey! that's enough. fuji, that's enough. lemonis: sammy's brother, fuji, the only one with restaurant experience, had been pushed out of the business. todd: we've all had issues with him. lemonis: after tasting the burgers that he made, i quickly decided that if i was gonna be involved in standard burger, so was fuji. fuji is in charge of the kitchen. so he is now a partner, as well. i made a deal to invest $130,000 for 30% of the business. we got a deal? we're gonna start over. if we're gonna set the standard, it's

ubs underwhelm spirit president macri has to washington, d.c., to meet with president trump to capitalize on their special relationship. david: talk about special, look at that view of new york. it is a beautiful spring day. welcome to bloomberg on this monday, april 23. alix: we missed you on friday. you were playing tennis for a few years. david: i missed you too. alix: it is a soft session so far. s&p futures are flat on the day. the stronger dollar story as u.s. 10-year yields inch forward to 3% is euro. there are weaker
