s briggs it campaign does it worry you though that there was no real public concern no effort by the british government to launch an inquiry into this. but we do know that it was a large volume of tweets coming out on social media that were generated by thoughts very very large number of it and we know that that likely was from an outside site aca. you know i do think this should have pain and best guys and this i mean the reality is if you're a democracy in this well to dying evaluated freedom of speech and you don't want to censor information you are going to be susceptible to manipulation attacks at the kind that we've seen in the u.s. elections and i'm sure you know we're going to keep saying so you know this is something that the mock receive need to take very very seriously you know i'm sure i mean it does pose the question doesn't it i mean do intelligence services have the resources to taco these attempts to subvert liberal democracy do you think. you know look as and i symmetry here if you look at this from a perspective that the return on investment it's actually a very ver

briggs it worries are going to come back in the autumn, and a less -- brexit are going to come back in the autumn. i think sterling against the euro can go a hell of a lot weaker. tom: we see the grim unemployment today, what guy told us, where is your belief in sterling? 1.20 five, even lower? jane: certainly where we have dollar weakness, this is why we have got cable at 1.30. it disguises the weaker sterling that we have seen at -- against the euro. remain it is going to quite well supported, but i think we will see some sort of pullback. , that level. watching brexit news, watching the scottish independence issue, i think euro-sterling gives a pure view. notesuy was taking because he has back-to-school supplies to buy, too. jane foley with rabobank. really interesting there on the urodynamic. gideon rose is always interesting. virtual,eresting interesting when he joins us in the studio. from "foreign affairs magazine." .his is interesting he considers president trump. gideon rose with us in the 6:00 hour. this is bloomberg. good morning. ♪ ritika: this is bloomberg surveillance.

>> this is a very tricky question i should parse it by saying although i voted for briggs it and always believed britain's role in the world was not running in the eu , nevertheless i think that we have said everything we had to say as a country i leaving the eu, by votingto leave and then leaving and that after you've left , it's not for you to say what you think the club should or should not do. but as there's always the risk talking about the eu of sort of winning it to do something it wrong in order to vindicate our decision to brexit and i say that by way of preface because if the eu does fall apart , it's going to bring an absolute half to the continent of europe and i wouldn't want to see. i do think the country that's most important to look to is italy. i've referred to it twice already but it's one of the founding members, the goal and others, wanted to keep britain hours of what became the eu and italy as a founding memberit's crucial to the project .it's if it goes, then this is just a franco german alliance of some kind. so it does seem it's the one to watch and so of course
