This is the one business show you cant afford to miss in washington coming up the talk saga has seen yet another shock twist the oracle has made an agreement with bite dance and beating out the favorite tech giant microsoft straight ahead we dive into the potential deal and what it means for the Popular Video sharing app plus after a hiatus astra zeneca and Oxford University have resumed trials for their code 19 vaccine later we break down the race for a cure and where action numbers stand globally and while many. Sectors of the economy continue to struggle in the wake of coppa 19 markets are surging on the back of some major acquisitions later well take a look at these moves and what and the state of equities with facts show today so lets dive right in. And we lead the program with a Major Development in this saga surrounding the most popular social media app in the world tick tock as monday bite dance the Parent Company of tic tac has announced that it reached an agreement with oracle now according to by dance the company has submitted a proposal to the u. S. Treasury department over the weekend that would make oracle not the owner of tick tock but a trusted Technology Provider shares in oracle jumped more than 6 percent on monday morning with confirmation of the news treasury secretary Stephen Newton says that the government is reviewing the proposal but this move could mean that by dance does not have the outright sell or have to outright celtic which would allow the company in theory to remain in compliance with the new chinese regulations meant to stop the sale of the company. Were told that ball of. This has fully excludes certain us politicians are true intentions of disguised and coerced robbery and their ugly face of Economic Modeling china firmly opposes this we will firmly support Relevant Enterprises in safeguarding their legitimate rights and interests and resolutely defend the international and economic trade rules that we urge the u. S. Government to provide an open fair and nondiscriminatory business into ironman for the Orange Companies strategic investment and operation as it were the specific business behavior of the company you mentioned we have no comment. Joining us now to dig deeper into the story our boom bust cohost ben swotting christi i thank you both for being here now but i want to start with you so the company that seemed to be leading the charge on a tic tac acquisition was actually microsoft which had joined in its bid with walmart do we know why microsoft didnt get this deal. Well there is some suspicion as to why they didnt get it one of the big keys i think to that would be the fact that from the beginning microsoft said that it had to have complete control of the code which to talk is written right essentially controlling the algorithms and controlling the Technology Behind it not just being a Technology Partner that is what they wanted well because of the way that the chinese essentially and beijing changed the rules along the way and said hey you cannot just sell you know code and algorithms to a company or a country outside outside of china they shut that down so microsoft is leading the way on this along with walmart looked like they were going to be the ones to get it and then all of a sudden when that change happened microsoft was kind of out of the run because they wanted to be able to control the code oracle on the other hand that theyre taking a major stake in the company but theyre just referring to themselves as a Technology Partner in this case it really raises questions though about the troubled ministration and about what they attempted to do here because remember the Trump Administration said from the beginning that they could not allow the chinese to have access to all this data because then they could use it to Harm National Security well now all of a sudden under this scenario i dont think the chinese have lost any control assuming that they ever had any over the data that tick tock has but now youve kind of forced a merger with oracle which by the way has a lot of ties to the Trump Administration and from the beginning President Trump went around saying that he wanted oracle to be the one to get this deal now kristie as weve said oracles not going to take over operations of the company but instead become a trusted Technology Provider or partner now is this role enough to safeguard the company for him violating the new rules which ban the sale of chinese tech by the chinese government. Yes while the full details of the deal are still pending and dont seem like i dance its trying to meet in the middle by satisfying to a certain degree the demands of both china and the u. S. So my dance operation will not be sold as proprietary iron is definitely not for sale and so oracle will become a partner well taken the management of tick tocks us operation and this proposal actually makes a lot of sense as oracle is primarily an Enterprise Software developer that would be a great Technology Partner but in terms of culture or Consumer Market it doesnt really fit the audience so it also provides a level of protection for tech talk as well as its not selling itself to a direct rival oracles businesses are in an upper stream in to change such as Cloud Services so the parents core interests dont really collide with each other so yes it does satisfy beijing demand as there will be no sale of the algo and bike and will not be getting a source code to any us virus however its not creating this interesting option for trump trumps demanded a sale now hes getting a partial deal where oracle is to operate in general lan take and some quite are minority stakeholders as ben mentioned most p. C. s with tremendous political influence and some of socom dollys biggest donors so now the ball is back in time square as buy gas has agreed to a deal to a u. S. Company in order to get into a little bit more of the politics of this here in just a moment but i want to cover this algorithm a little bit more no tictac has said that while it would sell portions of the company one thing it was never willing to sell was that algorithm it was clear why microsoft wanted that they wanted the technology they also have the ability to have the front facing tech unlike somebody like oracle who is kind of a behind the scenes Enterprise Company as of course you just mentioned now to talk influencers 2nd actually joined us and talked about why this algorithm is so important just recently. What theyve been doing from the beginning the couple years ago was there out there that made it so power on that it leveled the Playing Field for anyone who wants to as a stone and can make a little fun story or a joke or do a dance or whatever maybe theres a ton of different ecosystems and creators on the internet on tick tock but in a lasting once you have the chance to go viral on a totally different level thats thats bigger than weve seen possible with you tube get bigger and we instagram and buy me been so thats why its so exciting and i think thats the drop not only is it the you are but im especially for those viewers who are trying to concentrate on the app and right now obviously the most important thing when it comes to social media is that algorithm so does the oracle entering the deal and making this deal actually protect the rights of that algorithm for a 4 byte dance as a company yet it really does the math again lessened by dancing from the beginning that was unwilling to let go of this algorithm so what they had essentially said you know so the viewers understand this is when the trouble ministration said youre going to have to sell us canada new zealand and australia those operations were by the us was looking to do it is essentially you could quit it to were going to sell you the carbon a lot going to sell you any of the engine right you can just have the shell thats essentially what they would have been selling and so a company like microsoft had they bought to talk would have had to kind of read this redesign the algorithm thats use they were not points about it from the beginning what this does allow though and this is why its good news if this thing all comes together for to talk influencers or just anybody on tick talk if youre on tech talk and you want to be seen youre able to get to be seen in a way that other as was saying other social Media Companies dont allow you to be seen facebook has an incredibly controlled algorithm so does you tube they decide who gets seen and who doesnt talk is much more open in terms of the ability to become an influencer and to grow a following in a way thats more authentic than a lot of other social media so that stays in place oracle will not change that and really oracle just gets to own now a piece of a company that. Candidly they never really had a right to own in the 1st place but because of this 4 cell theyre going to have a piece of it and basically going to be able to collect money as long as this is a popular app essential now kristie in the end doesnt this whole thing start to look like as we were talking about here President Trump painted ticktock as a threat to National Security that he pushed the company into the hands of a company that actually has ties to its ministration and in the end doesnt really make the technology any more secure than it was a month ago does it. You know there was never really any proof to show that tick tock was actually a National Security threat to begin with National Kick security is just a term against langat power to take and of course and in this case it was to take the most that the Fastest Growing and most valuable tech i. P. O. Currently on the market a platform that could one day rival facebook but to the 2nd part of your question now in the end this oracle deal does not make the technology any more secure than it was a month ago it might however satisfy the instruction as it gives the illusion of security as now oracle will be responsible for this new user Data Protection and how the companys algorithm push content out to u. S. Users so an engine so that over the course of the week administration you have to make sure the coast secure american dana secure and that phones are secure and theyll be in discussions with oracle on how to manage that so by dans plans to argue that there is also precedents for this deal as 2 years ago china ocean wide agreed to a u. S. Based 3rd Party Service in order to manage genworth u. S. Policy holder data so now hes in the same logic bite and says at this proposal would result in a ministrations security concerns and really you have to look at it on a broader scale as any sort of deal whether giving the perception of more safety whether there actually is more safety is good for the president rather than the perception that he got sick and in the United States who must cohost been swanning christiane thank you for breaking this down for us. The. I. And the u. K. Has entered an agreement with friendship exene maker bell need to supply the country with up to 190000000 doses of its potential corona virus vaccine over a 5 year period if development of the v. L. A. 2001 vaccine comes to fruition neiva will provide the nation with 60000000. 00 doses in the last 6 months 2021 for just over 550000000. 00 u. S. The u. K. Government would then have the option to buy 40000000 more doses in 2022 and another 30 to 90000000 doses between 20232025 now if the government were to buy all 190000000 doses the deal would exceed 1000000000. 00 and after having to suspend their Coronavirus Vaccine trial due to a reported side effect in a u. K. Patient astra zeneca and Oxford University have been given the go ahead to resume trials the university issued a statement sunday announcing the Regulatory Approval to restart the trial saying the independent review process has concluded in following the recommendations of both the independent Safety Review Committee and the u. K. Regulator the m h r a the trials will come in the u. K. So with all this time lets go ahead and take another look at the trends and spread of the virus globally with r. T. Correspondent saya tablature so i where are we monday some brand on sunday last 24 hours a day of once again reached a record a single day spike in global cases totaling more than 307000 new cases which brings the total global cases to almost 38000000 now its also important to mention that while more than 931 thousands have died more than 21000000 or about 75 percent have also fully recovered now from the total. Cases the u. S. Has reported the worst of the outbreak with almost 6 with over 6700000 confirmed cases and now also reaching 200000 related deaths now taking a look at the daily new cases and deaths reported in the u. S. So while case numbers remain relatively high across much of the country now new cases have dropped significantly since late july as you see right here from this graph and right now were averaging well well in july we were averaging well over 60000 cases per day but right now were averaging about 35000 cases per day so thats a decrease of a 17 percent from 2 weeks earlier so thats good news and then taking a look at the daily deaths on sunday we saw 399 new deaths thats also a decrease of 17 percent from 2 weeks ago and i also want to take a look at where new cases are higher and not just higher but also staying higher now these states their new cases are constantly increasing for example in north dakota they are seeing a 17 percent increase in cases not only that but also a 83 percent increase and deaths now these states there are also facing similar numbers brant sorry what about the other countries that are seeing an upward trend in cases so were actually now seeing a spike in new cases in countries that earlier looked like they had the virus under control of course there is infections in india that have been rising faster than any other country and only lags the u. S. In total infections now india has recorded over 92000 new cases just not last 24 hours taking the total number of cases to 4850000 bar brand while deaths have been relatively low in india its now rising to more than 1100 deaths just allows. 24 hours and thats about a 20 percent increase so theyre definitely not headed in the right direction the u. S. Of course we spoke about earlier and as you can see the trend is just going up and then there is a latin america which includes brazil peru mexico and colombia and now also argentina that make up half of the global tops and cases in argentina argentina here really sticks out from the list because while theyre trying to return to a normal life in less than 2 months new cases have grown 3 times in argentina to 12000. 00 a day so once one of the countries with the strongest performance against the virus theyre now undoing all of that now moving over to europe there seems to be a 2nd wave as a new cases and deaths are once again rising specially in spain or france which previously was not on this list and on friday more than 51000 new cases reported in europe and thats the highest peak since april meanwhile the number of the number of daily deaths across the continent has also remain at around the same level since early june with about 400. 00 to 500. 00 deaths per day so thats not looking good at all now lastly rush up they were totaling almost 11000. 00 cases per day back in may and then they started seeing a downward trend to less than 4700. 00 cases per day in late august but its once again seeing a theyre seeing an increase in new cases so once again russia is making their way on this list but of all the countries that i just listed on this that we just talked about all of them are refusing to put any kind of lockdown back on but interestingly in love one country not on this list israel theyre now doing the complete opposite and theyve become the 1st country to reimpose like that measures so it seems some countries are taking this new surge in new cases a lot more serious brant. Correspondents i have been to thank you for keeping us up to date. And time now for a quick break but here because when we were at church while many sectors of the economy continue to struggle in the wake of the open 19 markets are surging on the backs of some major acquisitions later i would take a look at these moves in the state of equity and as we get a break here numbers of the put. The pandemic know certain you know blood is just too nationalities. To so much. To. Judge a. Commentary to sleep until. We can do better we should be. Everyone is contributing way but we also know that this crisis will not go on forever the challenges created the response has been so many good people are helping us. It makes us feel very proud that we are in it together. A new gold rush is underway and. Sounds of ill equipped workers are flocking to the gold fields hoping to strike it rich. As. Children a tool in between gold. A family was very poor i thought i was doing my best to get back to see which side will have the strongest appeal. Media reflection of reality. In the world transformed. What will make you feel safe. Isolation community. Are you going the right way or are you being so. What is true what is faith. In the world corrupted you need to descend. To join us in the depths. Or inmate in the shallows. Welcome back u. S. Equities sort of monday after that massive tech sell off ravaged markets for the last week and a half now the gains in markets are mostly due to a series of mergers and acquisitions including oracles deal regarding tictac as well as promising news on the coburn 1000 vaccine for one of the most high profile deals as u. S. Based new videos announcement it would acquire u. K. Semiconductor manufacturing fax your arm from soft bank for 40000000000. 00 now arms intellectual property is used in processors for mobile Device Manufacturers like apple sam. Sun and qualcomm now in the announcement of the deal the company said it would continue to operate its open licensing model while maintaining its Global Customer new neutrality now on the news and video stock shot up as much as 9 percent at points throughout the day meanwhile pharma giant gilliard sciences announced a 21000000000. 00 deal with purchase biotech firm immuno medics and its Breast Cancer drug showed l. V. Now immuno medics shares closed at just over 42. 00 per share out of friday gilliatt agreed to pay 88. 00 a share in all carried cash option for the company a premium of 108 percent on news gilliam stock popped as much as 4 and a half percent throughout the day and in another deal of rising communications has agreed to buy trac fone a prepaid cell phone provide a Service Provider for mexicos America Movil in a deal worth as much as 7000000000. 00 now trac fone boasts more than 20000000. 00 prepaid customers under the this brand as well as 2 offshoots of the move sent America Movil she shares up by as much as 6 percent while verizon saw moderate gaze so lets go ahead and take a look at these deals and the state of actors with the c. E. O. Of optimist l l c i take it thank you so much for being here today. Thanks and now i want to start with the state of markets after a week and a half of sell offs were seeing substantial gains now we also have the last Federal Reserve meeting before novembers elections here in the u. S. Coming up wednesday do you expect any policy move to actually shake up markets or the volatility gone for the time being. Well id be very surprised to see any surprises coming out of this fed me saying i think its acutely aware of the markets and very dependent on his months of policy and its made us much policy and i think what we saw the im just in this we saw in the markets in the course of pos weeks in tech stocks was more of a reflection of the signs of people so the markets might be getting back shmuel and the fed might then reverse it. Very very loose mundra policy i think now the markets are sort of more calmed down a bit so i think what hes going to come out and say is really very little hes just trying to persuade markets that theyre going to stay the course theyre going to carry on with among policy they dont want to rock the boat before the election so its going to be talking therapy calm down theres nothing to see here keep going however in terms of volatility going away im not sure i agree with you on that front thats what were going to see now but when we got this election coming and this election might lead to a lot of horses in the market both sides in this election seem to be sort of gearing up for a contested election it looks like it might well be very very close and it might look like the does the winner is not decided on Election Night weve been for a few days abscess you weeks afterwards the markets are going to absolutely hate that so i think me very very complacent now to say theres no new level of sins in the market i think theres tremendous possibility for those who see not perhaps in terms of Interest Rate policy which will remain fixed in the next few weeks or months even but certain times the election that is a huge possibility for an enormous amount of our city coming up not so far away. Now i want to talk a little bit about this in video acquisition of arm what do you make of this deal of Analysts Expect back what backlash and regulatory hurdles considering the u. K. Based Company Provides technology to many of invidious competitors. Well i think some rumors exergy lazing that nvidia wants to buy on to basic destroy the company and make life difficult for indias competitors that sounds a bit to strategy in america sense of want to do that i mean almost the end of his competitors can go elsewhere for the intellectual property of the. C. P. Use they provide so its not the only game in town there are alternatives to it so if you didnt really want to poke his finger in his composure xyzzy it could do it but it would be a fairly silly things to do i think much more likely is the u. K. Regulators look at this and say we dont necessarily want one of our Technology Champions and theres not that many. Although in the u. K. To fall now under the jurisdiction of the us become a us company and have the us decide where it can sell its intellectual property and not i mean you could imagine such a scenario where the u. S. Government says the u. K. Government is not allowed to back so that technology for National Security reasons so that would be sort of a perverse outcome that the perhaps the British Government wants to avoid and their shoulders trying to get assurances from us the u. S. Regulators that wont be the case and theyll all be free to continue just a list for us overseas but that is a very real risk in this so i think you might will see the u. K. Regulation block this and say no thank you were going to were going to walk away from the still out of the u. K. National security interests you know thought big actually bought our back in 2016 for 31000000000. 00 and is now selling it for roughly 40000000000. 00 at the heck of a profit but is this an attempt for soft bank to unload an asset at a profit after struggling with the likes of we were or are just Good Business sense as far as you see it. It is certainly at a profit and that seems to have been somewhat elusive for soft bank in recent times actually turning a profit and things we saw the debacle with they didnt cover themselves in glory with. Just last week or 2 weeks ago we were talking about what sort of plant was doing with this equity derivatives dont look like a little hedge fund within the organization without letting anyone know so yes that they preach team to rack up some wins and show that they can actually learn and sell high the way they have in the past or bear in mind. Its a 1000000000 selling for 40000000000 between 2016 and now is not terribly impressive i mean Just Announced that went up over 130 percent in the same time in the s. And p. 500 is up over 70 percent so a 30 percent return for your positon crude is not that impressive so it looks more to me like soft bank is trying to shore up its Capital Position and trying to generate some cash to absorb the losses that have to have as a result of the poor trading. And i want to add on this quickly gilliard is actually obviously been at the for friend of the news amid the pandemic with their treatment room does appear now is this purchase of amino medics and their biggest care the Breast Cancer drug and attempt to keep that momentum Going Forward after the times of copan 1930 seconds for octavia. Well i would say rheumatism is the disappointment it has not in the Clinical Trials theyve had to go through they have not been terribly effective and when hes shown just how many clinical significance so its definitely an attempt to remain relevant and it looks to me like theyre paying this premium on the acquisition is enormous so its next at this for a sion to me octavio the c.
