Russia ahead of the annual g20 summit in china. Putin denied allegations of meddling in the race. The government is ready to work with any u. S. Administration. Hack into the the Democratic Partys database. No, i dont know anything. You know how many hackers they are today. [indiscernible] they can be in the necessary time place. Other hackers from other territories in countries. It is next really difficult thing to check. It is nearly impossible to check. Is thate really important . Does it matter who hacked this data . The important thing is what we give to the public. There is no need to [indiscernible] that is not going to solve the problem. [indiscernible] i want to tell you again i dont know anything about it. Imagine even [indiscernible] two american society. Onepaign headquarters of the candidates in this case. Mrs. Clinton follow the Democratic Party candidates.

This was purchased by one of the main News Agencies because of that report earlier that they are announcing this global recall of largescreen smartphones, note seven because of fault the batteries that could catch fire. Their shares on samsung are currently closed. I expect some sort of follow up on monday. We have heard an apology because of the recent battery explosions. It is unclear how many they have put in place at the moment. We do know they are in 10 countries. They should be getting a replacement but the cost has not been estimated yet of how much that global Replacement Program will cost samsung. It doesnt look great, because it is so soon, close to when it was released. We will have plenty more that. We have samsung, then we have nonfarm payrolls. The exclusive interview with vitamin put pretty set down with John Micklethwait for an interview and joining us from russia he challenged to an understatement two years ago that if crude oil will to 80 a barrel, there would be a collapse in production. He began by asking whether president putins thinking had changed on output that crude is still below 50. Oil output and elects the output is increasing. By the way, where the worlds gasers in terms of natural with a global share of 20 . Francine oil snapped four days of decline as he said he would like russia and opec to reach an agreement, one that exempts orion. Exempts iran. Lucy, great to have you on the program. I know it is difficult to take the price of oil. How does it impact how you see value . This ago lucy it is had an impact on earnings over the last year. In the last couple of courses we have begin to see that impact it negative. In the last earnings seasons, we have seen that now. That being said because nobody could forecasted to do it is difficult to know what one should do. Had a big impact it we know with a huge hole and we are expecting more. Because supply and demand being close. The falloff in production has not been as expected. Francine it look at oil, has it been expected . You halve the hole inflation debate. Is there an optimum price . Does it remain in a range where the stable, you would be happy . Lucy if something is not going to be a surprise to the market, that helps as far as volatility. The mood we have had an oil has been a huge source of volatility. As you say, it is not the press itself and the sector, it has also been Many Companies which had exposure to energy. That exposure would only make things clear once the path came down. That is why you have seen it more broadly. Francine lizzie, thank you so much. Much. Y, thank you so political and Business Leaders gather today for the forum that is on the river banks of lake como. Joining us now is francesco stretchit Francesco Francesco stretching give me a sense of how the court is going. Energy prices falling. That is hurting a lot of revenues could how do you deal with that revenues. How do you deal with that . Jeanclaude i do not hear very well, there is a lot of wind. Francine if Energy Prices are the pressure, that means your company is under pressure, how do you deal with it . Jeanclaude we have been in francesco wes have been in this crisis for many years and what matters there is a big overcapacity across europe. Is developed in the states and business going very well. I have to say that half of our business comes from this solution it where relatively wellbalanced across we were not hit that much. I have to say the markets were reactive which are the seven european areas. Italy and spain relatively safe of the big impact on continental Energy Prices. Wellll we went pretty across this terrible. This terrible period. Francine how is Energy Consumption doing . Been decoupleds from gdp growth across the areas. Facthas to do with the that the underlying structure of the economy are still perhaps changed in a way that requires less energy. Energy efficiency is really a working in the technology that is providing the same functions with less energy. Overall, we see very little increase of Energy Consumption. Gdp. Ed with increasing and in some cases, germany notably, even the reverse effects. This is something we have to live with it we have been observing for many years. It is another reason why we are aying it is important we move lot of investments when we really focused, not only on how we generate industry, but also how we distribute and manage. That is where most of the value is going today. Francine talk to me about mergers and acquisitions could are there any regions the look more checked if than others . Could you say that you can assets are cheap because of brexit . But the u. S. Remains expensive . Overall, as far as m a are concerned, there is there a little very diversified arena around the world. The most expensive parts of the m a environment today in the u. S. Because the valuations of companies linked to the bond Interest Rates. Overall, there is a lot of m a opportunity provided you know exactly where the value is in the Single Markets. We dont have a broad position on m a, but we have to be very selective and careful on what the perspective evolution of the market is. That is why we are seeing m a is a risky business, because we know theres going to be an evolution of the regulatory how can you bet on an m a move without knowing what the regulatory evolution will be . We need clarity from the eu. Francine thank you for joining us. I hope you enjoy the view. It may be a little bit windy. Up next, it is jobs day in the usa. Could a strong showing for august move the fed 20 hike fed toward a hike . We get more. Tune in all day to watch our exclusive interview with Vladimir Putin. More from that coming up. This is bloomberg. Francine we talked a lot about russia, oil. We also talked about the u. S. Jobs data out later today. Us. Macdonald is still with busy, this is probably the most important jobs data, because the markets fear or consensus because we have heard it much more hawkish fed, if there is a blog number today, the fed hike in september. Is it as clearcut as that . Lucy i think so. They have set the ground quite well. Over the summer, the data which we know they depend on has it does look as if they are set up for that. Important, because of the impact on the bond markets. Francine how do you position yourself . Do we have huge market repricing . Will you reprice or change your portfolio around before that jobs data at 1 30 today . Lucy we have been looking at what is priced into the markets where the risks markets, where risks are and the expectations in the market have been quite complacent about the fed. Francine 34 . Lucy yet seen the financial spread over the past month because you are beginning to see some concerns about those who have no finances at all. If Interest Rate to begin to rise slightly, we have seen a shift in that positioning. If you get a rate hike, there is more on that. That will affect the growth against value in markets which is very correlated to bond yields and Interest Rates. Very important for us i know it is only one month of data but it is a big month of data. It is very important to what it means for inches rates. Francine just for Interest Rates. Francine for Interest Rates. Right, so does that mean september is off the table . Or is it more conjugated the net more complicated than that . Lucy then we wait and see for next months data. There has not been quite a clear verbal commitment to what they want to do next. Francine were getting breaking news and this is the uzbek is done president is back a stop president , according to turkey news has died. There was huge speculation on his health. We did understand by local media and this is reported that he was critically ill. Remind ourselves that he has ruled was becky stop for over 20 years whose becky stein ekhistan. Confirmation, we talk about these frontier markets, is there any value . Is that something you would not touch . Lucy the risk assets for emerging markets has been compacted this year. It has moved to some extent, but then again it is very dependent on oil prices which we talked about. From our perspective, it looks as though that move four emerging markets. Francine losing donald there. Lucy macdonald there. We bring you more from our exclusive interview with the russian president. This is bloomberg. ,l francine welcome to our weekly brexit show. Im Francine Lacqua. Every friday, we round up the news, analysis, and conversation about what is next for britain in europe. This is brexit whats next. The u. K. Factory activity unexpectedly hit a 10month high in august as the weaker pound helped manufacturing bounce back from postbrexit slump. Markets pmi jumped. The median estimate was for a reading of 49. Theresa may has set out the first of her red lines for brexit negotiations. The free to end movement of people coming to britain from the European Union, suggesting shes willing to leave the Single Market to do so. Officials also said they won a bespoke deal, rather than one such as countries like norway and switzerland. A deal would seek to preserve passporting, the ability of banks to freely Sell Services of products beyond the end negotiations. Sentiment among u. K. Executives have regained after the shock. That is according to a new survey. The index increased to 109. 7 in august, bolstered the increased exports and manufacturing. The weaker pound next British Goods more competitive. From 112. 6. O 105 global news 24 hours a day covered by 2600 journalists and analysts in 120 countries. Lets get back to what brexit means for europe. Joining us now, jeanclaude trichet, the chairman of the group of 30 and former president of the European Central bank. Great to speak to you. Last time i spoke to you was june 24, the immediate aftermath of the brexit vote. What have we learned in the last eight weeks . Mr. Trichet of course the brexit created an element of uncertainty, which is important both for the u. K. , for the eu area, and for the European Union as a whole, and also for the world. I was reading what the imf had imagined as a consequence of the brexit even at a global level. I would say them as it would be, lets clarify the situation and have certainty on the process as soon as possible. That is absolutely clear. Uncertainty is the enemy of growth and job creation in all economies, not only the european economies, but the global economy. Francine what will the impact of protracted brexit negotiations be on the european economy and european stability . On thechet depending process, depending on the duration of the process, depending on the way the u. K. Will decide to pursue its own negotiations, of course you might have a long period of uncertainty, which is hampering investment, hampering all decisions by household as well as entrepreneurs, as well as firms, corporate businesses, and so forth. Uncertainty is the enemy and we should all try to clarify as much as possible the situation in order to reduce uncertainty. I would say the consequences of ratic negotiations without clarity are it seems to me very important. Francine do you agree with the ecb that all clearing activities denominated in euro should be taken out of london . Mr. Trichet im sorry, could you repeat the question . Francine i was asking about the clearing activities. Theres a lot of talk and we understand the ecb believes all these clearinghouses with euros should be moved to europe, outside london. Do you agree with that . Againichet this is something which depends totally on what will be decided. The u. K. Lso on the way government is looking at the Single Market. Since the setting up of the Single Market, the idea was free move of capital, of labor, of goods and of services. Pillars ofthe four the Single Market. If you maintain these four pillars, we are on the safe side. If one or two of those pillars do not exist anymore because of the decision in london, then we are in a different universe. Everything depends again on the way things will be discussed and negotiated. You have several options that depend very much on the u. K. Itself, of course, and over the course of the negotiations with the europeans. Francine mr. Trichet, we just heard from theresa may and she seems to be intent. These may be negotiating tactics. It may change. She seems intent on limiting the Free Movement of people. What city, if the u. K. And london would lose access to the Single Market, if this city would lose passporting rights, benefit inill europe, frankfurt, dublin, paris . Mr. Trichet again, im not sure i got exactly because the sound is not very good. I would say francine i will say the question in more simple terms. Is there a city in europe that you think can take the Financial Capital crown away from london . Mr. Trichet the market is the market. The decisions of the investors and savers are the decision of the investors and savers. The remain camp explained very clearly before the brexit was decided that of course you had a cost associated with that decision. I think the remain camp was right in saying that. They were elaborating on that. They were quite clear. Again, we will see. It depends enormously on the eliminating as much as possible uncertainties. If uncertainties are not eliminated, i dont expect the normal investors and savers the world over will say, i dont know yet what will happen, but still i am decided to invest a lot. Again, it is common sense at the present moment. That is the reason why my decide,is, whatever you reduce uncertainty as much as possible. Mr. Francine mr. Trichet, with inflation around zero, what can the European Central bank do . Mr. Trichet we will see what the governing council will do when time comes. I have full confidence in the governing council of the ecb. They did a fantastic job. The most important job being that they were up to the confidence of the european democracies in preserving stability, and even in the most difficult circumstances. But my main message in this respect will be the following, i have full confidence in the governing council and in the way the ecb is dealing with very difficult circumstances. , the centralcb banks cannot be the only game in town. They have of course to rely also on the appropriate behavior of the other partners. Amongst the other partners, you have governments, parliaments, Structural Reforms. That being said, i would also say that the eu area is not as miserable in terms of growth as is usually communicated. I compared growth in the u. S. And growth in the eu area over the last 12 months and surprisingly enough, you see area was a in the eu little higher than growth in the 1. 2 in the united states. In both cases, it is a misery, not sufficient, and of course the u. S. Is doing much better in job creation and employment, but it means that all advanced economies have a period of relatively modest growth, and we have to work on that, and Structural Reforms in the case of europe are of the essence. Francine where do you stand on helicopter money . I know it is a theory at the moment, but there are people for it and against it. I think it was said very clearly by the president of the ecb that it was not at all in the cards. I dont think that it would be in my understanding of what has been done already, which is remarkable, i dont think it would be appropriate at all, personally. Francine mr. Trichet, thank you so much as always. Jeanclaude trichet, the chairman of the group of 30 and former president of the European Central bank. Next, more from our exclusive interview with president Vladimir Putin. Dont miss our special report on bloomberg. Francine russian president putin sat down with john nichols weight for an exclusive interview in russia ahead of the summit in china. He challenged putin on his statement that if crude oil fell below 80 a barrel, there would be a collapse in production. He began by asking whether president putins thinking changed now that crude is still below 50. Well if i said that it would end, then i was mistaken. I dont remember where i said that. Probably just off top of my head. Maybe i just dont remember. I said that new deposits wouldnt be commissioned at a certain oil price. Strictly speaking, that has happened. That may be even surprisingly our oil and Gas Companies are continuing to invest. In the past years, the Oil Companies have invested 1. 5 trillion rubles. If you take the state investment in the pipeline, then the Overall Investment in energy is 3. 5 trillion rubles in the past year. This is quite significant. Our oil output electricity production is increasing. Production has declined a little. By the way, we are the World Leaders in terms of natural gas exports with a global share of about 20 . In the export of liquid hydrocarbons, we also hold the leading position. We still hold first place on gas exports. Our internal production has slipped a little. This is due to an increase in hydropower output for electricity. Gas from our stations has dropped somewhat. There is a restructuring of the situation in our Domestic Energy market. On the whole, guest from is in great shape. Talked to the saudi deputy crown prince. Would you still be in favor of a production freeze if the saudis want that . Aware, mr. S im salmon is the deputy crown prince. Hes a very energetic figure and we have struck up a good relationship. This is a man who knows what he wants and knows how to achieve his goals. Think the same time, i hes a very reliable partner with whom you can reach agreements and can be certain that those agreements will be honored. Still, it was not who rejected the idea of freezing output levels. Whoas our saudi partners decided to change their view. Position repeat, our hasnt changed. If prince salman and i speak about this, i will put forward the proposition again. We believe this is the right decision for world energy. The second thing is, everyone knows what position is all about. If production were to the frozen, then everyone should do it, including iran. But we understand that iran is starting from a very low level, relating to the sanctions. It would be unfair to leave it. That it would be correct to find some sort of compromise. Im sure that everyone understands that. The issue isnt economic, but political. Much hope that every Market Participant was interested in maintaining stair and fair and stable global prices. So you would be in favor of a production freeze but giving iran a little bit of leeway to do what they need to do . Yes. Tune in all day to watch our exclusive interview with russian president Vladimir Putin and dont miss our special report on monday. Coming up, theresa may gets ready for her first g20 summit as british Prime Minister. Will she be grilled on brexit . We will discuss that next. This is bloomberg. Francine theresa may will attend her first g20 summit as Prime Minister this weekend. Lets bring in bloombergs brexit editor. Simon kennedy, thank you so much for coming in. This is theresa may. She met with her cabinet this week. We have an idea of her negotiating tactic. What will happen in g20 . Simon i think what we will see in the g20 is this kind of pressure on may to start outlining her negotiating position. Theres kind of an acceptance that there wont be a triggering of article 50, the formal talks, wont begin until 2017. The rest of the u. K. Seems ok with that but they want her to start shading in the parameters. Shes quite clearly focused on controlling labor flows and willing to give up some of our Single Market access. Francine some or all of it . Simon that is the big question. Are we willing to throw out the Customs Union now . Are we willing to do individual negotiations . All those questions remain to be answered. I suspect may is not quite ready to answer them, but that wont francine stop the world from asking them. That wont stop the world from asking them. Francine what about banks . Simon i think it is too soon. A bloomberg exclusive today showing the banks and of view themselves as a special status. But itwe had the crisis, is still a huge industry. They are trying to use that power a little bit by saying to the government, they would like may to dinner she did is ideal for them, even before article 50 is triggered. Rightthat, they have the to buy and sell products in the eu while based in london. That will be maintained beyond that twoyear timeframe just in case we run out of time and fall off. They can make that case. They can say it is not in europes interest to have a distorted market, Deutsche Bank noting how important their clients are for them in london. If they can achieve that, that would be quite impressive given people like Angela Merkel who say we will not have any informal talks before article 50 is triggered. Francine john mikel flight spoke to Vladimir Putin and asked him about brexit. Vladimir putin rather provocatively said, someday the European Union could shrink in size as the stronger members start to close ranks. Is that fighting talk because of sanctions against him or does he believe it . Simon putin has been a big figure in the debate. David cameron invoking him and saying putin would be one of the few people happy about exit. Putin has denied that accusation. In his interview, john pointing out two things. One, the euro area could shrink at some point. It is not in russias interest. But it could shrink if the likes of germany and france decided that it was time for a super euro of closing ranks. Secondly, on brexit, he stirred the pot a little by saying relations havent been particularly great with britain, but what is more important for him is less about u. K. s relationship with the eu, and more interesting, the u. S. That implies that the u. K. Does the u. S. s bidding, and suggested if the u. K. Rethinks its relationship with the u. S. , it might have better relations with russia. Francine as long as donald trump is president. Simon we will have to see about that. Francine it was a fascinating interview. We dont often hear Vladimir Putin talking about brexit. What is the most significant thing he said . Simon probably the hacking. It was a long interview. One that will be rolled out throughout the day on bloomberg. Theres a whole load of interesting things, his relationship with japan, this hacking that he seems to be saying, we didnt do it [indiscernible] talking about Hillary Clinton and donald trump and various other things, a geopolitical interview from one of the most fascinating people out there. Francine thank you for joining us. Tune in all day to watch our interview with Vladimir Putin. Dont miss our special report on monday. Stay with us. Surveillance is next. Tom keene will be joining me from new york. This is bloomberg. Francine putin exclusive.

This is bloomberg surveillance. Tom, a most interesting day, because wee
