we have the three-month and 10 year inverted again, which has people nervous. >> at the time of the december meeting, the yield curve was far from inverted. my individual interpretation is, that is driven not so much by an outlook for the u.s. economy, but when there is global uncertainty, that tends to lower yields. i am not today concerned about the inverted yield curve. i don't think it is reflecting the u.s. outlook. kailey: this is "bloomberg best." let's continue our global tour of the week's top stories in business and politics. a regional election in italy threatened to put populist pressure on the government. it turned out to be good news for the prime minister. >> italy's matteo salvini suffered a stinging defeat. what does the setback of matteo salvini mean for the government?

>> definitely a compromise the u.k. wanted. i think it can work. there is enough vagary in how it is framed. 5% share of the network. the 5g network is a constraint area. most operators are looking to huawei for access anyway. they are looking to them over time anyway. in the evolution of five g networks, we will see the networks shaping up. >> eu member states avoid to ely on a single 5g upplier. they are restricting some suppliers but they have not banned huawei from playing a role in 5g. huawei dodging the blanket eu ban from their 5g networks. >> president trump signed the usmca trade agreement, a successionary agreement to nafta. equally extensive on capitol hill. >> president trump saying he has delivered on one of his campaign promises to negotiate a new bipartisan trade pact with mexico and canada. the president got bipartisan support, but not supportive of -- support of one of his chief political rivals, senator bernie sanders, who says this plan was not in the best interest of u.s. workers. this is a significant win for the president when it comes to the business community, who was incredibly supportive of the usmca. a got a message from the business roundtable, they are proud of this plan. they say it is good for the u.s. economy. >> plans to raise as much as $159 million in an ipo. the offering would value the company around $744 million, a drop from the previous valuation. what happened between then and now?

i kind of guessed germany or japan. it was italy because of the political machinations going on. >> there are 30,000 functions on the bloomberg and we are showing you are favorites. -- our favorites. maybe they will become your favorites. here is another function he will find useful. it will lead you to our quick takes, where you can get insight into timely topics. here is a quick take from this week. >> decarbonization is a key factor in the fight against climate change. the goal is to reduce our been -- carbon dioxide emissions around the world as soon as possible. >> our planet cannot be saved unless we leave fossil fuels in the ground where they belong. >> decarbonization involves sweeping change and incremental steps, working industry by industry, process by process, in every major country of the world. sound expensive? it will be. the science community agrees we have no choice but to mobilize and take on this monumental challenge to avoid catastrophe. renewable energy like wind turbines and solar panels, as well as electric cars, are more popular topics, but there are key sectors less discussed, and changes there are equally important. here's three -- cement, steel, and agriculture. these three sectors combined make up 40% of all carbon emissions in the world. what will it take to revolutionize these three industries without bankrupting them? cement is the most widely used man-made material in existence. combined with water and aggregates, it can be poured into any shape needed for construction, used by millennia to build the pantheon and roman aqueducts, highways and parking garages -- lots of parking garages. the global production of cement accounts 7% of global co2 emissions. that is largely because of how it is created the main ingredients to cement -- in order to produce it, limestone is heated to high temperatures, generated by fossil fuels, releasing co2. chemical reactions within the kiln release more co2 in the process. companies are working to reduce. others are testing substitutes, including the residue left in chimneys of coal burning furnaces. slag from iron production. the drawbacks are serious. these techniques come with a price tag sometimes triple the cost of the traditional process. since cement is holding the world's structures together, alternative recipes make contractors uneasy. steel is just as important as cement, and global demand is expected to rise. 50%. 2019-2050. process involves refining iron ore. just like cement, this production releases a lot of co2. in europe, owners are testing hydrogen as a way to take the carbon out of iron ore, but it is double the cost of using coke. there is one thing you can do with steel you can't do with cement, recycle. instead of producing more steel in the first place, we can use what we already have. increasing steel recycling is seen as critical to reducing carbon emissions. agriculture requires a multipronged effort, as it is responsible for 25% of global co2 commissions. the practice of controlled burns after harvest, the use of inorganic fertilizers releasing methane and nitrous oxide into the air, the destruction of rainforests and livestock flatulence need to be addressed. some hope can be seen in the u.s., as demand for beef products has dropped significantly. interest in alternatives like beyond meat have soared in recent years. for those who can't quit beef, scientists are developing climate proof cows to produce less methane. implementing these solutions globally remains an uphill battle. even as more in the u.s. and europe become vegetarian, increased demand globally means animal product consumption is expected to rise 60% by 050. >> you are the last best hope of earth. >> we are in the beginning of a mass extinction and all you can talk about is money and economic growth. how dare you? >> it will take policymakers and companies years of diligent work and collaboration to move industry away from its most polluting methods. but each of these industries is working on answers, with some executives confident they can be both green and show a profit. kailey: that was just one of the many quick takes you can find on bloomberg. you can also find them on bloomberg.com with the latest business news and analysis 24 hours a day. thanks for watching. this is bloomberg. taylor: i'm taylor riggs. this is the "best of bloomberg technology" where we bring you all of our top interviews from this week in tech. coming up, earnings results from big tech. we bring you the latest from apple, amazon, facebook, tesla and microsoft. new evidence raises fears the coronavirus could spread undetected. we'll head to a biolab where researchers are working on anti-bodies. and tiktok has a new rival in
