you die by the europe and china sword. you live by the europe and china sword. right now the socialists in europe and the communists in china are bailing out the late-stage capitalists in the united states. it couldn't come at a better time. tom in colorado. tom! >> hey, this is tom. big boo-yah to you from boulder, colorado. >> man, i know. i like peyton. peyton looks good. what's up? >> i saw lululemon was upgraded today and i bought it in the low 80s before the christine day news and then again in the low 60s. my question is do you think the management of this company can get it together and take lulu to the next level? >> i was going back and forth at the open house at realmoney.com that was free this weekend and bob said that lulu was going to break out. i was questioning it because christine day who is the person who runs it is not going to be running it anymore. they have some momentum there. they do report this week. that makes it five below is my pick of the week, not lulu, but i think -- look, the stock is signalling that the quarter is better and that

someone put it like they do not want to -- a german europe and europe with germany as part. they will always be balancing. >> one of europe's preeminent philosophers said that the political class is sitting on top of the european volcano and that is actually true at this point. much more than most people actually think. in germany and france and other so-called core countries of europe. >> is europe a ticking time bomb that germany is sitting on top of? >> i am astonished. we have a plan. we have the european elections, we need a new european commission. we need a new president. there will be plenty of issues. germany will show leadership and showed leadership in the past and it simply is not really true that term he is not -- germany is not interested in solving these questions. we have an upcoming banking union that needs to be constructed in a positive way. we have the question of the sovereign debt and the euro crisis. the countries with the euro crisis to solve. we have plenty of issues but germany showed not only solidarity but leadership. angela merkel showed a lot of

today in europe there is the real commitment to improve the comparements of europe. this is the issue. because in the world of globalization we haven't understood we cannot go with debt that is not sustainable either public debt or private debt sometimes fueled by behaviors in the financial markets. i really believe that we are going to get out of this crises stronger and more competitive. and this fiscal policy is indeed having a very important positive effect of making the states reduce their expenditure, and also create new type of behavior also in the private sector. that's why i mention a kind of -- also in the private sector. looking more to exports, trying to reduce some costs making it more competitive. >> rose: and more productive and efficient. unemployment, why does it lag? >> you know, that typical and most departments will agree with me that sometimes even growing, it takes some time for jobs to come. and we are trying to do everything to avoid what is called a jobless recovery. that's why you're creating new instruments also level. employment of unemplo

the romanesque style spread right across europe. in 1066, it crossed the english channel with the norman conquest of england. thnormans stroyed most of the main anglo-saxon churches, replacing them with ones built in the french romanesque or, as it is known in britain, the norman style. and it would be in england that somof the most daring and original innovations were made in medieval architecture. durham cathedral, even by the standards of norman architecture in england, is a colossal building. durham cathedral was begun in 1093 on the sort of scale and grandeur common to many great norman cathedrals of england in the late 11th century. durham is a masterpiece of structure, and that makes it, in a way, a slightly ambiguous building because durham is undoubtedly a romanesque church. in fact, it is a massive romanesque building, one of the largest, but it also has gothic elements in it. in the 19th century, archaeologists defined the gothic style as having three essential characteristics-- the pointed arch, the rib vault, and the fl

here in europe we may be far away for. in the fighting in syria however the effects of violence are being seen in the form of tens of thousands of refugees flocking here to seek asylum just this last week the first of five thousand refugees arrived here in germany as part of a settlement program however there are those within europe that say that the governments must pay some responsibility for these people having to flee the problem is the e.u. governments continue to support the rebels including the german intelligence and covertly and other ways i think it's completely cynical of germany to pretend to be this humanitarian receptor of five thousand refugees at the same time they're poor in a let's stop the reason that people are leaving their homes they don't leave it willingly with over two million people already having been displaced syria's neighbors are overwhelmed by the deluge of things fleeing for their lives that means that they seeking sanctuary having to look further afield towards countries in the balkans that

these roads lead west to atlantic europe, east to central europe, north to great britain and south to the mediterranean world. most crucial of all, strasbourg sits on the rhine river between two of europe's strongest historical rivals-- france and germany. strasbourg really occupies a very special kind of position. of course, it's bounced back and forth a bit between german and french influence, and, in fact, 500 or 600 years ago, it was really falling within the influence of the german empire. and then as the french empire was expanding and in conflict with the german empire along the rhine, it came under french influence. the franco-prussian war in the 1870s, however, was partly driven by german efforts to expand to the west bank of the rhine-- that's where strasbourg sits. so it became formally a part of germany at that time. and then in the 20th century, it's fallen back under french control. those original cultural and linguistic ties with germany are still there, so you have a dialect that is a germanic dialect, but it's now, of course, formally a part of france. and this partic

but critical of the way germany is dealing with the financial crisis in europe right now tamara it's a political commentator with the. daily thank you very much indeed for your time thank you. as europe's largest economy and biggest contributor to bail us the results of the election will reverberate far beyond germany's borders and as lisa catherine reports now from athens cash strapped greece would be particularly vulnerable to any change of monetary policy from its northern neighbor when it comes to finances decisions made in germany are often felt right here in greece and more albums may be the birthplace of democracy ballots cast by german voters have a huge role to play in this country's future that despite two bailouts and across the board spending cuts is still struggling through one of its worst recession since the second world war i look let me just soaring in two thirds of young greeks . to apac just west of two hundred forty billion euros revenues are still short of expectations what's more the growing consensus is that greece is unlikely to get back on its feet without mo

we keep hearing europe has bottomed. how is europe doing today? >> we've had good performance in europe over the past couple of years. one reason is the expansion of sales force. we've been able to get into more deals even though the european i.t. market has been flattish, at best, when you look at the numbers. one thing that has hurt i.t. is the brick countries. the brick countries were roughly 10%, 12%, 15% of all global i.t. was emanating from brick countries. that slowed. that had been giving impkts t. as an industry a growth of a point or two. we've seen the same impacts others have felt. >> what do you need to see to see emerges countries come back? >> not just pipelines but conversion rate, when customers make decisions and buy, accelerate. when you start to see that, you feel good about where the economy is headed. what we see right now is not just the fact that transitions -- we still in a quarter will get many transactions we see. what you see in macros is a couple things. transactions are weak macros. transactions that get deferred. if

europe is rerated. the best time to be in europe when everybody was terrified in late 2011. subsequent to that it's a fantastic market. there are still opportunities in europe, finding them across the board, particularly sill la cal industries. some of the favorite stocks have been in the portfolio for year. we've seen evidence of restructuringer new ceos newt place and a concerted bifrt manage month to take ang of global growth in the emerging world. examples i'd cite the world's largest paints company based in the netherlands and what we call ge of europe, zemans, the enormous engineering conglomerate in germany. both stocks have 3% yields, reasonable valuations after a big run in europe. >> emerging markets more broadly, which obviously took a big hit on talk of tapering. now what? >> well, emerging markets present better growth prospects in the developed, despite all of the bad news we've heard. what's interesting is the valuation gap between emerging markets something we've wrote about and put on our causeway website in an article by our heads of emerging markets. the e

already it all is over trade budget and sovereignty now europe and britain disagree on how free people are to live their lives the u.k.'s prime minister has hinted to the country may pull out of the european convention on human rights saying it's simply to restrict instead as the pm says britain made may make a list of its own probably stricter standards and gerard batten and the people the united kingdom independence party says it's a long. you now come under the jurisdiction of the european court of human rights which has been response constable for many decisions the british were very unhappy with like our inability to get or foreign terrorist suspects for example and i've said that we have to give prisoners the vote they've said that we cannot have life sentences for criminals they must be reviewed so our worst and most deprived killers will now have the rights to have their life sentences reviewed we have our own courts which have been established over the last eight hundred years we have our supreme court if a british citizen has a problem with the british government in the briti

on europe, i think we're getting less bad news out of europe. not enough good news yet. that will come. >> in terms of europe, we've already seen the markets, mixed markets there. a number of markets in europe actually rally given this idea that actually the worst is behind. would you agree with that? >> absolutely. they've been in recession for some time caused by a whole bunch of stuff. cyclically they're doing better. i think it's anemic. banks are still undercapitalized. we still have lots of population, stagnation in europe. tough to grow your economy when your population is not growing. >> in terms of sectors what are your favorite right here? >> i still lean into cyclicals but i've overweight in health care. i like industrials to include aerospace defense. selected technology, which is a four-letter word. i would argue the cyclicals led by an inflexion point to the upside by global growth will continue to beat defensive names. >> are you expecting, bob, the fed to begin the taper in a week and a half, september 18th, is that when we'll hear the news? >> i think so

there was war in europe against the french occupation. over the decades since, what you -- i think there's one more -- okay. this was the four leaders at paris. so basically what happened before wilson got to paris, the british prime minister on the far left, and then george on the second to the right. they had reaffirmed between the two of them. and five-minute conversation, they basically said, okay, what do you want? and i think he answered first what he wanted from the region and then he asked lloyd george what he wanted, and basically said done. they made a deal they're going standby each other and can shoot down wilson's ideas. this was one of the last picture of lawrence that was taken in, i believe, december -- december of 1934. he -- for a couple of years after the war, he tried to standby -- he was involved a bit in trying to -- the decisions made in the middle east. he rejoined -- he read a great -- wrote a great memoir. he changed his name and rejoined the british military as a private. it's interesting, by the time the war wa

we need to recognize that we in europe live up to our obligation. have 20% of the world economy 50% of humanitarian aid. for countries that have grown stronger, more wealth means more responsibility. we will continue from europe to lead by example and urge others to do their bit. bank bank thank you very much indeed -- >> thank you very much indeed. to the rest of the day's news, details emerging about the man responsible for the deaths of 12 people in washington yesterday. police say that aaron alexis used his pass to get onto the navy yard in washington yesterday and should people in the cafeteria. >> conflicting accounts of the suspected gunman who went on a killing spree, a troubled u.s. military veteran with a string of weapon related violence incidents behind him. however, friends and colleagues from the thai restaurant he worked at said that they knew alexis as a peaceloving buddhist with an interest in thailand's nine which and culture. >> he is a good guy -- language and culture. >> he is a good guy. nothing to be telling me that he is goin
