Welcome to countdown. I am mark barton. And i am anna edwards. We will start by telling you about some of the big interviews that are coming up on bloomberg television. George soros will be sitting down on on the move. We will talk with tony fernandez. We are expecting to get earnings any moment from prudential, the u. K. s biggest insurer by market value. Nothing coming through at the moment but the numbers are coming. This is an asianfocused business. Half of its revenues come from asian markets. They got a boost from the South East Asia part of their business so it will be interesting to see if any more comes through. As far as stock performing, year to date they are up 1. 6 . In line with the overall european insurance market. Not moving all that much. The impact of changing into a macro environment, all of that will be covered. Well will wait for numbers when they materialize. Later we will be talking to prudentials ceo. That is during the pulse a little later. The ukrainian Prime
