>> it just about what we know so far. dramatic changes could be coming. let me go through this so you can get the details. the airline is said to be it is asng job cuts. much as 20% of the current workforce. they will be looking at reviewing their orders for new aircraft. change ationed, that the top. they are looking at replacing the ceo. at as many looking as three people up for the job. malaysian week airlines is set to report their .ast set of earnings a lot of moving parts. all know the disasters malaysian airlines has had to an alreadyn top of very competitive airline market in southeast asia. >> thanks for that roundup. let's have a look at european equity markets. london is closed for a bank holiday. paris and frankfurt up nearly 9/10 of one percent. this is the druggie affect -- effect. i think acknowledging the da is new.f long-term >> you use this new gauge. is a five-year inflation rate. it is five-year five-year felltion swap rate, which two percent this month. they weren't in the original text. he went off script to do this. >> i think those equity market signified -- you and i just spoke. i said, what a dramatic shift. your report was, he had the data. it shows you how materially and dexterous is he a central banker? >> some would say he didn't implement qe. there are legal reasons why. there are political reasons. we all know that. many say he should have done it sooner. basically flagging that he probably will do it sooner rather than later. >> perez said to open a little bit lower. said to open a little more. there is paris. that is up 9/10 of one percent. >> we have looked at jackson hall, and every year on average on the day that the chairman had spoken the s&p rose by 1.5%. >> on friday we were down. >> there is a bit of hawkishness and dovish nist. -- dovishness. >> there was no recipe. progress mightr mean they may need to raise rates more quickly. we decode druggie's message -- draghi's message. that is after the break. >> welcome back. the drugmaker has the first drug a the u.s. for what could be fatal lung disease. about theo talked significance. >> this is a great idea of the strategy. we lookall the criteria for. it is a strategic fit from the standpoint of a medical need with efficacy for this medicine. it is a pulled fully -- a portfolio fit. also in our development pipeline, and it is a commercial fit because of our strengths in the united states and the outside world. >> mario draghi has signaled the ecb is prepared to add fresh monetary stimulus to the euro zone. he said the central bank will use the available instruments needed to ensure price stability. setting policy and so much more. with me is andriy -- andrew. thank you for joining us. >> good morning. >> tell us the significance of mario draghi's portion of his speech where he went off script and essentially pushed the ecb closer to qe because he warned investor bets indicated significant declines. how significant is that? >> i think that is the most significant part of the statement. he has the first time acknowledged long-term inflation expectations are beginning to da or.hor -- to deanch while he didn't use the word this is the first time he has a ba did away from the message that inflation expectations have been firmly anchored. most recently as the beginning of this month when he was saying they are firmly anchored. he is saying there are some singles for market next dictations that they are heading lower. mean we start to bring forward our assessment of when we believe the ecb will implement qe, or is that jumping the gun? >> that depends on what your iitial expectations were. still think the ecb will want to go through the motions in terms of rolling out the targeted lt ro's. i think we would need a continuation of the recent qewdown in growth to bring forward. he certainly did lower the bar a little bit. this isine would be something that could happen from the first quarter of next year on word unless we get an unforeseen negative shock. good morning. spanish yields record low. italian yields record low. the spread against treasuries is widening. is the markets ahead of the reality of what you have just said? is we're going to be in this wait and see mode. are the markets ahead of themselves? >> correct. if you look at where yields are in particular in comparison with the u.s., they are anticipating some sort of action i would say. wey have committed so that know liquidity is in there. reasonse fundamental why they are merging with the u.k. and the u.s. that is because inflation in the euro zone is very low. thestrongest country in eurozone and germany contracted again in the second quarter. there are economic reasons why yields are lower. comments iner regards to fiscal discipline and ,he ability to address that saying two countries you need to reconsider what you are doing fiscally, is he moving more e?wards aland -- holland this is an area where the policy committee perhaps shouldn't be. think he is adapting to the situation. eurozone had to frontload its fiscal austerity. fiscaluntries had lost access. that is why there is so much emphasis in the beginning for the eurozone countries to frontload fiscal austerity. the u.k. and the u.s. had the luxury of back loading it. now that the sovereign debt crisis is abating, the fears of the eurozone are no longer there that it will break up. to takethey can afford the foot off the brake and switch to back loading their fiscal austerity. in that sense he is adapting to the new situation. we may see more use of fiscal deficits in the months and years ahead. that is a good thing. >> how do we continue to play this dislocation between asset economy?the real it is a topic that has been with the feded. heading one way and the ecb and the boj and another, this dislocation might become more apparent. how do we best position ourselves for that? >> i think druggie had a showingl neutral chart the divergence powers of real interest rates. -- means isads currencies should play a rebalancing role in the dollar should strengthen versus the euro, particularly if the monetary stance to verges, and i also think all efforts linked to the ecb that are in some ways under their umbrella, they have a strong effect from liquidity and possibly from additional asset purchases down the line. long-standing core position should be in periphery assets, bonds or stocks. those things should play a positive role in a portfolio. >> good to chat to you. thanks for joining us. coming up, the battle for the brazilian broadband unit and billions of dollars in state -- at state. we take a look at the bidding wars. >> welcome back. ikea has grown to become the world's largest furniture chain. now it is trying something different in germany. inner-city stores. same, butn is the there is something radically different about the store underneath. it is in the pedestrian city , not a parking lot. that means no car to ferry your goods home. mean my colleague in hamburg. hands full. i am going to try to lighten his load i proving or disproving you can do and ikea shop without wheels. that means public transportation and a short walk. expensive that for the swedish company. it just what he five percent mueller than most stores and was almost twice as expensive to build. >> it is between 40 or 50 million for a normal sized one. here we invested 80 million euros. we know in hamburg we have 43% of people without cars. berlin we know between 20 or 30% of people, without cars. ♪ >> i have my colleague's essentials. how do i get them home?

most of our stories lead with dollar strength. the euro is declining. traders are the most short on the euro. it is the 25 month high in terms of short positions. policy divergence is the theme. druggie moving into easing. you are at an 11-month-old. i am looking at the relative strength is whether the currency is overbought or oversold. good advice on the market. let's have a look at the swedish kroner. the swedes cut their overall growth target for the second time in two months. this year's growth will be 1.9%. that is below the two and a half percent originally targeted. next year you see about three percent growth. the lows of 2012 for swedish kroner. >> these are the top headlines. days after an american journalist was executed by islamic militants, another u.s. journalist has been freed. he has been held in syria for an offshootears by group from al qaeda. he was released under the circumstances that have yet to be explained. the islamic militia says it has gained control of tripoli's international airport. weeks of fighting triggered an exodus. meanwhile parliament says they will temporarily resume their sessions and could spend the day reviewing legislatures. richard attenborough died. he acted in dozens of films. gandhi won the-- academy award. he would have been 91 this week. >> it's a big week for telecom. , butnly are earnings up the race for the brazilian broadcast unit is heating up. telefonica, telecom italia are aggressively competing, considering an offer as much as 7 billion euros. joining us now is roderigo to talk about more. companies, they really are beginning to push the envelope in terms of what they are prepared to bid for this company. is that a fair assessment? >> it is. theirnica has already put bid on the table. they have said they are willing to pay its .7. -- 6.7. telecom has not officially made it. they have a board meeting. the report is they will be making a 7 billion euro offer. they expect telefonica to up that offer afterwards. they're really pushing it. >> telefonica is actually cash. to get where it is going interesting. one is cast. one is stock and holdings. where do we go next in this battle? >> that's a great void. both companies are offering some stocks. the differences telefonica is offering a big portion in cash. telecom has not made the offer. the reports are it will be mostly stocks. the next step is a board meeting to officially approve the offer, and then we will be able to know exactly what they want. boarde have the vivendi meeting as well where they will discuss the offer from telefonica. the next word meeting -- board the 28th.28th. then we will know where we stand. >> who has got the upper hand? will it come down to cash or who has got the better equity deals? >> when you look at it from a financial aspect telefonica would appear to be better positioned. their financial situation is much stronger. they are offering cash. for a unit everyone has the impression the vivendi would be willing to sell because it doesn't have to do with long-term strategy, but telecom italia has got one thing going, and it is the relationship ofween their ceo and the ceo vivendi. sometimes when it comes to big deals, personal relationships can weigh as much as the actual financial details. >> let's see who wins out on the personal relationship side. >> 7:35 in london. european stock markets have been outperforming the u.s. for most of the year, but the tables have turned in the current quarter. european equities have been underperforming in the u.k. and germany. stocks us is our reporter. thank you for joining us. what has changed? in the sudden change fortunes of europe versus the u.s.? >> it is interesting europe has underperformed the u.s. thomas especially given the contrasting central bank. i think it has been driven by the fact that investors think the ukraine and russian conflict will have a better impact on europe and the european economy, we have had weaker data. investors thought the european economy was further along than the data is showing now. is whether question good news is bad news. meeting september coming up and jackson hole right behind us, will we enter a time where bad economic data and european equities rallying on expectations of the ecb doing more? faqs they are traditionally months where we have seen large stock market the kleins, but the pressure ukraine story is not going to go away. >> it has clearly had an impact on psychology. i think the bigger question is will the economy with the highest exposure, will we see impacts in sanctions come through in third-quarter earnings results? unless there is a big risk to energy supply, investors have learned to live with it. haven't had a massive selloff you might expect to see. >> volatility is one of my favorite major gauges. you have written great pieces of investors betting against that. talk me through your thinking. >> the stocks recently reached a one-year high. this is the european counterpart. u.s. the vix is near 11, near multi-year lows. the spot is near 17, which is close to a historical average. reflectedat is being is european equities have underperformed the u.s.. investors are nervous about investing in a weaker asset. germany is and underperforming. is that an opportunity? >> probably more so in germany. has the most at stake in russia. that is why the dax has underperformed. now they might look interesting to investors. valuations are more average all across the board. if you are looking at value, germany is interesting. with the u.k. the risk is still interesting for investors. the strong pound also impact u.k. companies more. i just want to get your interpretation. we have our biggest weekly rally in almost six months. the balance of payment showed pumpedropean investors one hundred 67 billion into overseas equities. debt.llion into offshore this is money leaving europe. and we had redemptions. i am wondering if that is the start. when you read that kind of data, does that say anything to you? >> i think that is related to the fact that the purple economy stocks did so well last year and even into this year. areas look weaker, given the weaker economic data, that money comes into areas where there might be more value the u.s. look stronger on an overall basis. maybe that is a safer place to park your money. >> thanks for coming in on this bank holiday. coming up, russia's multibillion-dollar company makes way as we tell you why the company had to have this particular drum make -- rug maker. coming up next. >> it is time for some company news. fell the most in three years. roche was said to have backed away from the bid for the company. they instead focused on an $8.3 billion acquisition. burger king, the second-largest american burger chain is in talks to buy the canadian doughnut chain and move its headquarters to canada. this would make it the latest to seek a relocation to a lower tax company. the merger would create the third-largest fast food chain. to resolve aorkers dispute over wages that resulted in a boycott that cost two days of extra weekend shifts. workers are demanding the bonus be counted as part of their wages. workers are doing their normal shifts but would not take on any additional duties during the suitealks. >> more m&a the pharmaceutical sector. burke -- spoke to the ceo about the deal and the strategy. >> we will continue to work on acquisitions like this. this is part of the strategy as we move forward. have a high bar for products that come into the group. i think this is a good example of what we look for. >> they have expressed interest in diversifying. they have a great cancer business. they are working on an asthma treatment that is still in clinical trials. buying with their existing sales force. they are basically buying this one drug. for drugrowing area companies. this is a growing area for them. it diversifies them nicely. >> it was a week ago we were sitting here talking about wanting to buy the japanese -- the stake in the japanese drugmaker. >> the reporting shows they approached and got some resistance from two guys in management. we don't know the details. they have shown they are a very disciplined buyer. they walked away when they felt the price was too high. they may have felt they didn't want to spend more money to bring management to the table. interesting company they probably had their eye on. they are always working on multiple deals at once. they are looking at all sorts of opportunities. this is the deal that resulted. itthe drug sector is where is all happening, isn't it? when you look at the global him --a space -- him in a space are there more deals from roche? >> they have made it very clear. they are very focused on targeted deals. 8.3 sounds like a big deal. much ane that is very acquisition. they have got a lot of cash on hand and are paying down their debt. i think we will see more deals from them. >> thanks for coming on today. >> coming up, to tighten or not to tighten. that is the question. federal reserve chair to janet they are coming to different conclusions. we will take a look at the policy gap. >> welcome back. we are nine minutes before the start of european trading. london is closed for a bank holiday. futures are set to close higher. the debate is policy divergence between mario draghi. has janet yellen become more dovish?

>> how low can they go? the estimate is if you do the french get -- if you look at french government bonds, where do you go in terms of yield? 1.3% in france. a bit more room in italy. i am rounding up. probably a shock on the markets. actually 2.491. every dip counts. one point five percent achievable. u.s. treasury bond yields are 2.1%. how much more can bond yields dropped? >> one of the arguments is it markets more attractive. when you look at what janet yellen is talking about, compare that speech to the ones earlier this year. she was very clear about slack and spare capacity. .he had serious conviction a lot of people acknowledge janet yellen is starting to take a more middle ground. if you listen to the noise around jackson hole, september's meeting could be massive. you are looking for the potential of communications. particularly if rates won't rise. qe ends in october. at the end of the meeting we could see a change. >> the progress continues to be more rapid than anticipated. further increases could be more ifid. she did say conversely the goals remain italy since, the policy would be more -- remain elusive the policy would be. >> there is a real weakness for the rest of the eurozone. the councilmember talking about his concerns over that issue. confidence wes are expecting a little bit of a drop. >> we had a great report earlier. now investors are saying it is the time to buy german equities. they have fallen by 10%. the earnings are still strong. the price differentials with europe as well. interpret my smiles as being market directional. we are back tomorrow. >> we are moments away from the start of european trading. it is bank holiday. we are expecting a significant move higher in european equity. we start with you. >> the decision about what to , is of janet yellen's shift she less optimistic?

you have moved to neutral. would this be a game changer if they did capitulate on qe? >> i think we are a long way from the ecb being able to capitulate. in terms of changing our todamental view, we need have confidence it will spark earnings growth and will help reverse this inflationary tendencies and willie -- this inflationary tendencies -- dis inflationary tendencies. >> german sentiment expected to trend lower this morning. are you expecting it to play out simply that these readings go lower and lower?

telecom italia getting ready to do a deal in terms of cash and equity. we will see how that turns out. at the moment, vivendi is hot to trot. it has two stalkers. the question is, who are the best placed to win that race. >> thank you very much, manus cranny. breaking news on the french government. french prime minister has presented the resignation of the government. this is big news. the french president says the new government is to be announced tomorrow. that is the french prime minister presenting resignation of the government. i am going to bring in christian for a quick conversation. this is a big surprise. >> that is a big surprise. the half-life of the french government seems to be getting shorter way chief -- with each government. they have got some legislation through despite resistance. this is a big surprise because it seemed that he had been on the right track. maybe the internal divisions in the party were just too strong and they are trying to change things around to get moving again after the disastrous economic data. >> is it disastrous economic data? does pressure come within the party or outside the party? real pressure on this particular political party? >> i would have thought that the change in march was there to address this, to get somebody in the government who had this tough talk and tough action image. he was there to counter the threat from the right, but also to get some of the economic reforms moving. elections, the results were disastrous. he hasn't really delivered that. i would have expected them to give him a bit more time to get things moving. this looks like more due to the internal divisions within the party. maybe not enough support for bigger reforms. >> in your mind, where does this lead mr. hollande? >> he has got his mandate. he is there for five years. he can just sit it out and hope things will improve toward the end of his presidency. he will not want to go down in history as the least popular and least effective president. i think he does need to get things moving more quickly. i think he has made a lot of the right noises. it is just not getting through to legislation. withins no recognition the party, or outside the party and outside the country that france is doing enough. the reforms,t economic data has been pathetic, yields keep going lower. down by three basis points as we speak. is this just the ecb mario draghi phenomenon that is going to keep the cap in france despite the economic reality? looks like a financial crisis is not going to happen in france. markets trust that the french will be able to pay back their debt because of their own domestic performance or because they implicitly have a german guarantee anyway. germany is not going to let france ever drop. market pressure, i don't think that is going to be the one that pushes hollande into reform. theink it is going to unemployment which continues to rise. while we see improvements in countries like spain, portugal, greece, we don't see these improvements in france. it is more than just the ecb. it is more than just aggregate demand or the euro. it is domestic french problems. >> mario draghi's speech, a lot of people taken that as a significant step towards more stimulus. was that your takeaway as well? itmy first read of it was, was a very interesting discussion of fiscal policy to stimulate aggregate demand. i think there were some hints to berlin to do more to stimulate demand. maybe some investment programs, especially tax cuts which germany has been discussing for a while. that was my initial first take. then there is this ominous sentence about short-term inflation expectations. the governing council acknowledging this and ensuring medium-term price stability. i was struck obviously by this sentence. i think the rest of the speech sense ofeally have the urgency to do something immediately. i think he will push forward the discussion to doing more. maybe by the end of the year, we will see more. whether that means qe or other options that they have like potentially upgrading, we will see. in thereous sentence is something that we need to have a close look at. >> i think time horizon is important but there is no way to talk about it. they have talked about qe as some emergency policy. when does it become an emergency? >> certainly not if we have one quarter with disappointing data which you can explain with the weather affect and putin. this is not an emergency. were the crisis in ukraine to ,ave a deeper impact on germany if germany were to fall into recession, i think that could be a trigger to do more. i don't see that right now. even more, if markets were to suddenly not believe the omp commitment and we will get tensions back in the sovereign bond market, maybe in response to the fed hiking rates, that could also be an emergency. of relativelyrter disappointing gdp growth is not an emergency. >> the gdp number has been a one off on the quarter. euro zone inflation has been trending nowhere for over 12 months. a new low again on friday. are they behind the curve already? the inflation figures are something that happens now as draghi always explains. it is due to the exchange rates. things beyond the control of the ecb. away theseplain numbers to a certain degree. the real problem is inflation expectations. the lower inflation gets, the more it rains on that downward trajectory, the more people believe it is there to stay. expectations stay low, that perpetuates low inflation. they need to do more. the question is what to do, when to do it. i think he has now pushed us more towards thinking the ecb will do more, maybe towards the end of the year, maybe even including qe. the speculation is already having an impact with these yields falling over, with a euro following the were. i think some stimulus is already on the way. >> spanish and italian bond yields, new record lows. thank you very much for joining us on that breaking news. coming up, as the french government resigns, we will have more from paris. that is after the break. we leave you with a picture of the french market. equity markets across europe are higher. you have the cac 40 bob by over 1%. the 10 year in france, the yield down by four basis points. that speaks to more action from the ecb. the politics in the market seem to be scintillating right now. stay with "on the move." we will be back in two. ♪ >> welcome back. this is "on the move" live from london. here are the bloomberg top headlines. hamas leaders are not close to giving up in the recent hostilities with israel. that is after is really president benjamin netanyahu warned that any target connected to hamas would be considered a target and should evacuate. upaeli ministers called reserve troops just last week. a malicious as it has gained control of tripoli's international airport. the fighting triggers an exodus of foreigners. libya's parliament says it will temporarily resume its session. that could set the stage for legislature amid a leader slip vacuum. an increase ined military spending before preliminary peace talks with vladimir putin tomorrow. the ukrainian president unveiled a in increase in spending. putin know we -- will meet with his ukrainian partner during trade talks in the belarus capital. the big news this morning, french prime minister manuel valls and his government have resigned. president francois hollande once to name a new cabinet as soon as tomorrow. resid offered his nation. bloomberg news government david is going to join us shortly. for more on the french government, we are joined by caroline connan. big news this morning and a big surprise as well. yes, it is a big blow for the french government. we just have the message from paris saying that the entire government of prime minister manuel valls has to resign. that comes after the economy minister made some pretty strong comments over the weekend in a newspaper interview saying that the economic policy of the government had to be revised, that he had to tell the french the cruel truth about how the french government is failing in terms of economic policy. they were offering tax cuts of 16 billion euros. shortly after that, the prime heister reacted, saying that had crossed the yellow line, -- he hads very much to react. this morning, president hollande decided that wasn't enough. the popularity of the prime minister has gone down in the past few weeks. his popularity went down from 45% to 36%. he lost about nine points of popularity in just one month. tosident hollande wanted show his authority on the french government, that he still has control. he decided to tell the prime minister to resign the entire cabinet this morning. >> thank you very much, caroline connan. that is the perspective inside france. joining us from germany, international correspondent hans nichols. ae perception was there was standoff between germany and the french over budget deficit targets. will this be music to the ears of the german government this morning? >> it won't. this will add more confusion and more likelihood -- it seems as though the 3% deficit target will be broken. the germane in position is increasing isolation. you clearly saw mario draghi hinted the need for more fiscal stimulus, more fiscal flexibility. is stilllike merkel fighting a rear guard action. they think that countries should follow the rules. follow those 3% deficit targets. otherwise, the entire rescue project isn't going to succeed. their concern is that once you start seeing clear breaking of those 3% rules, you are going to see markets react. you are going to see borrowing costs go up and markets punish those countries that aren't doing structural reform. we don't know entirely if this is a linear sort of equation, that because the government has resigned, france is going to break deficit targets. it seems like it is in that direction. that seems to set up a clash between merkel's government and the ecb. some of the fights we had 18 months ago replaying again in germany. >> what does this mean for internal politics within germany? clearly there was pressure on hollande to do something. his reputation is going lower. emboldened to she carry on pushing the austerity message to stick to these budget deficit targets? the trending lower of german data putting pressure on her? >> that is a very good question. there doesn't seem to be a lot of pressure on merkel to spend more. yes, there is some call from the left on that, but most of those fights happened about six months ago when they had these big coalition negotiations. now they just have to implement what they agreed to. merkel is very much in control. her popularity remains quite high. it is unlikely that she is going to feel pressure to reverse course on something she thought was the right thing to do. argue for keeping the rules, argue for austerity and argue for structural reforms. without structural reforms, you can't spend more money. there doesn't seem to be any crack along that side of the fence. even within her coalition where she shares power with the social democrats. >> thank you very much.
