Welcome. You are watching the pulse. We are live from bloombergs european headquarters. I am guy johnson. Busy morning for the eurozone. The french finance minister is ofnning 21 billion euros spending cuts in 2017. He has outlined next years budget. He says the french government sees the deficit falling 4 in 2017.
