eu economy but he cautioned against any change in monetary policy for the ecb. euro up sharply against the dollar. a short time ago it was up to quarters of 1%. euro, one dollar and almost $.13. on the stock market, more of a mixed picture. in paris and frankfurt, in the red. the bank year up 4% after their dns they were buying. world, watching shares and google and out of it as trading opens on

for abusing its dominant position as a search engine. commission found google illegally prioritized its own shopping service over its rivals. this is the highest ever penalty issued by the eu for anti-competitive behavior. it is more than double the previous record fine. google says it disagrees with the ruling and is considering an appeal. the companies and commissioner had to say. >> let google has done is illegal on the eu antitrust rules. it has denied other companies the chance to compete on the merits and to innovate and most importantly, it has denied european consumers the benefits innovation.on, and for6 more on this, we can speak to our brussels correspondent. stephen: this is a bold step by the european commission. what is the significance? >> she is taking on the world's biggest search engine. it is used daily by 2 million people worldwide -- by 2 billion people worldwide and it could change 100s of millions of consumers see when they switch on their phone and computers. important precedent for other companies like facebook, amazon and apple. factors like used so from, e-commerce and electronics. i have seen this in brussels, and welcome the decision of game changes. .t is an important precedent however, this decision could end up in a never-ending legal dispute. and of course, the whole commission will not go down well with the u.s. president donald trump but the point that she made in the press conference was that this is not about the origin of a company, not about discriminating against a non-european company. she says it relates to self-promotion and market dominance by google in the online shopping area since 2008 and she argued there were many attempts to find a solution but they all failed. and they said that she has analyzed some 5.2 terabytes of search results which was the equivalent of 460 million copies of her speaking points which she says would take 70,000 years to read out in that room. stephen: we don't know yet if google are going to appeal. but this could be the start of a long series of legal battles between the eu and the search giant. >> absolutely. we understand google has 90 days to stop this alleged contact and get back to the european commission. they cannot stop this and replace it with similar behavior . she said google does not reply that if google do not comply, the commission could impose

from the end of september. it will come with built-in games like super mario world and yoshi island. they already tried a launch of but they are trying to avoid making the same mistakes with this relaunch. delano: thank you, stephen. time now for a press review. >> we are joined by florence in the studio. delano: you are starting out in brazil, where the chief prosecutor has charged the president with corruption. >> let's start with the originally leaked story which comes back on the circumstances of this charge. thell comes in circumstances of a released audio recording in which temer appears to be discussing bribes with a businessman who is the boss of a giant meatpacking firm implicated in a corruption scandal. the president denies any wrongdoing and has actually vowed to prove his innocence. it is the first time a sitting brazilian president has been accused of criminal charges so it is really a top story. let's take a look at the other paper. things could actually get worse for the president. he is expected to face further charges in the coming weeks, including for allegations of obstruction of justice. hands ofe is in the brazil's congress. it will be a story we will be following. >> undoubtedly. we are staying in the americas, heading north where papers in the u.s. are focusing on the supreme court decision allowing parts of donald trump travel ban to be -- to go ahead. it is interesting because papers are divided over how much of a victory this is for donald trump. the president was quick to point out that it was a clear victory for national security but many papers including conservative papers are watering that down. the washington times, usually a week supporter of donald trump -- a big supporter of donald trump, they are saying it is a limited victory for the president because we have to wait for october for that final decision. delano: a new poll has come up about attitudes towards the united states since donald trump took office. florence: it is getting a lot of attention, picked up in several papers. the washington post is talking about this, a pew research center poll that was carrying out a survey of 37 countries. you can see it here in the headline. essentially, the u.s. is tumbling in the world regard following trump's. three quarters of the world have little or no confidence in donald trump from chile to italy to sweden to japan. the majority of people in this country consider the president eric and dangerous. them do view him as a strong leader. the bright spot is russia. a majority of people in russia have a confidence in him. delano: surprising. in france, a new parliament heading to the nationalism we today. a lot of new faces, 424 new measures of parliament. florence: that is right. .24 newbies in with the new, it is a bustling day at the urban palace where the lower house of parliament is located. you can see them likening it to a debutante ball. inside, they use a common description in france like the first day of school. the first day of school for parliament. but a very unusual first day of school, a very nonstandard parliament. 75% of the parliament was renewed in the recent election. that is a record. delano: it is a new parliament but a lot more younger and well more women. florence: a more feminine parliament. that is an angle getting a lot of attention. the print -- the french president talking about lady lawmakers. you can see one of those women .awmakers from macron's party she is one of the 224 women who are elected to this parliament. that brings the percentage of women in parliament to 40%, which is a record. it is not quite 50% but still a record. they applaud the fact that there is more women and say it is not because they have certain qualities that men don't have, they are either better or worse than men but they should be where decisions are made because they represent half of humanity. delano: exactly. there are a lot of new faces but there are also people that are familiar. oldies -- familiar faces. among that, you have the leader of the far right party, marine le pen, and the former prime minister who managed to save face and the elected but he just announced he is leaving the socialist party. this shows a group of suspicious lawmakers looking at him saying "what's up for him, he fell back a grade and now he is trying to ." ose his law on us newbies delano: and spanish papers reacting to a judge's decision to allow salvador dali's body to be exhumed for a paternity test. florence: it is a fascinating story. anulled out and -- article. is the kind of surrealist story that he might have appreciated or not. this article says that his sexuality was his best kept secret. they are talking about the great turbater." that is the title of a painting by him. according to this man: this is a production of china central television america. woman: adapting to adversity. resilience is the ability to do just that, to roll with the punches despite e the challenges before you. could resilience help build a better world? rather than reacting, would we be better off taking deliberate, planned, and proactive risks? this week on "full frame," we explore how embracing resilience could help companies, organizations, and people thrive in the face of unpredictable events. i'i'm may lee in los angngeles. let't's take i it "full ame.e."
