i think macron is at least going to try and actually got his own people into the assembly. he got these, all these young amateurs into the assembly. so they did have a kind of a strange little revolution -- >> host: revolution again, yeah. >> guest: and he's going to try to fix the labor laws which are a big problem in france because they are so demanding of employers that people don't want to hire. you know, if you make labor laws too tough, why they don't hire people. and it also causes competitive problems in competing in the international economy. and so macron's going to try to do something, and he'll probably have some success. >> host: it's interesting because he'll be, at the same time he's got to do all this stuff internally, he's got to work with germany to figure out if the e.u. is actually going to be a sort of united states of europe or not. what's been the journal's position over time on the creation of the euro, the formation of the e.u. , and where do you think the e.u. is going? are we at a tipping point moment right now? >> guest: i don't think so. we've b

have you think macron is doing? macron from the berlin vantage point is doing quite well, boosting the strength of europe, really boosting the sense of union that france has with germany. does that add to the euro strength? let's take the first part of the question. a lot of soft indicators out of france have indicated that the public remains -- particularly the business community -- remains with the macron agenda. how much of that has translated into hard data and the same challenges that were faced by other politicians that have come with a radical program to the french economy have run into the challenges of union, structural rigidity in the labor market. how does that play for the euro? a much bigger story which is the other side of the trade which is the weakness of the dollar and pound and a number of other currencies, that combined with it was the most bearish trade on the back end of last year. the euro was so crowded. think it has further to run. he can push on beyond 120 but that presents problems in terms

a barrage of criticism over plans to create an official first lady role for his wife despite manual macron having banned lawmakers from employing their spaces when in france the president's wife does not have an official status and plays a courtesy role according to according to the plan though would have her own office the number of staff and security guards but a particular bone of contention is the idea of allocating a separate budget for the present we talked to a french publisher and journalist who says the president is becoming un french and copying his american counterpart. mr mcauliffe decision could be a real big mistake the main reason for that is that he thinks as an american little signs of tooken moves are piling up to prove that mr merkel is more and more out of touch with reality when becoming the president for instance he chanted the french in the mass years with a hand on his heart like you probably saw on american movies but this kind of religious pious attitude is complete and french the explanation for this love of america is that he has been supported like french. by t

>> the first waking up after the fantastic macron paradise. he is implementing reforms. the german lessons from 10 years ago shows us that implementing structural reforms will always come with a slowdown of economic growth, initially. it will take a couple of years before the french economy can take off again. but the french economy has been much more resistant and solid in the last few years than the stories we heard about it would make us believe. matt: there is some internal concern about his popularity in france. last week. i wonder if you think he still has the momentum to carry through the european restructuring that everyone expects from him and merkel? >> i think he does. aswas voted in and came in the savior. it is normal to get some disappointment in the first month after. i still think he has the momentum to implement the reforms. he has a strong majority in parliament. he has the goodwill of the german government. once he delivers reforms in france, he could continue with implementing more reforms in the eurozone in europe. matt: thank you very much. arsten,

mar, he has brought a wave of hope, and that has lifted confidence within the business community —— macron. another piece of good news for france. and they needed it, really, because it was a big drop off into risk owing to paris, certainly after charlie hebdo and then of course the attacks in paris in november 2015, they really felt it. and for the french economy, tourism is a huge part of their national income. it is. if tourism goes down, they feel it. especially in areas such as paris. on the flipside, we talk about it in business, how much chinese spending is fuelled by debt at the moment, and if they rely on these tourists coming from china, if it all goes wrong, that might suddenly dry up.|j think this is a bigger issue really for world growth and certainly if we look at the chinese economy there is a lot of construction and housing and so on as businesses that are financed by debt and the fear is that if the government were to clampdown on that, and many people say that they should because of the rates of accumulation being so significant, china will slow and if china slows it is n

if macron can do more at home. francine: peter, at what level does euro become a problem for france? probably anything around 140. they can tolerate some euro appreciation, i don't think they will be too worried with where we are at the moment. francine: is the ecb word on this? >> no. francine: you heard mario draghi could have talked it down the jackson hole. >> from lions -- perspective, euro inflation has been with the ecb expected to do. the ecb won't be too worried about the value of the euro. it is only when you find inflation really declined substantially that growth comes lower. that is when they worry about euro. at the moment, with the consolation we have, they won't worry about the euro. discounted that we could see something ugly in italy when elections come, they have to be held -- before april may of next year. fiscal at the moment to -- difficult to measure the popularity of a movement. problem, that018 is when we start thinking about it. -- he can't engineer the early election. it is difficult for

says german chancellor angela merkel runs the risk with voters in backing french president emmanual macron's vision for eurozone reforms. the times says thousands of twitter users have been deceived by a suspected russian agent posting pro—brexit, anti—migration and anti—eu propoganda. 0ne analyst believes it's on a scale the uk has never seen before. in the daily telegraph, how a low—fat diet may actually increase the chance of an early death. that's the findings of a canadian study, which suggests that those who cut back on butter, cheese and meats tend to compensate with other foods and miss out on vital nutrients. and finally, how northern ireland is cashing in on the game of thrones. this article in the guardian tells how local businesses are capitalising on throner tourism and plans to keep the legacy alive after the final series goes into production later this year.

it is tricky, because of course macron has been clear in france about his vision for the eurozone. she is having to tread a careful line. the germans are always concerned when they hear about eurozone reform. they think it will hit them in the pocket. and the wider immigration and so on, the cost of all about. it is a tricky balance for her on this one. i see her still winning the election of course. even that, you'd never know what will happen. the eurozone issue is thorny, especially with brexit as well, it you know, heightened sensitivity. interesting to get a sense of the feeling in germany on reforming the eu because i would imagine many want reform as well. u nless imagine many want reform as well. unless it is about how they run their finances. unless it is about how they run theirfinances. i unless it is about how they run their finances. i may unless it is about how they run theirfinances. i may be unless it is about how they run their finances. i may be wrong, though i think there was a sense with germans, "we know how to manage the economy and don't want to hand it over"

macron saw the biggest weakness of the french economy. waiting to, we are present this labor law reform deal as soon as this week. less protection for french workers, but it could be for the greater good. it means that the french might have to bite the bullet and stand ready for a blockade street protest and those sorts of things we are used to, unfortunately. jonathan: great to have you with us on the program. we appreciate your time. the harsh reality of business in france. david: et al. think we have seen labor come out to the streets in paris. jonathan: i have never seen that. david: very unique. jonathan: i think we look forward to people voting for the greater good. alix: health insurance for life. likeu are in congress for a day, don't you get health insurance forever? jonathan: still with us, j.p. morgan investment. can we talk about the fundamentals in europe? what do you think is happening in france? bob: you do need to see the structural reform come through and i think that is what the market is challenging quite a bit. there i

from what we understand, they have voted for macron, so they know what we have to do and they are being realistic. they understand what the country needs, and i think it will go ok. >> 63% of the french now say that they have no confidence in the cronje actually -- in macron actually delivering. his population -- popularity falling 20% over the summer. the you not agree with it? it is not really important. the really important thing would be the impact on the economy. i am pretty sure that we will see an increase in the gdp. off aspeople are better the economy gets better, i think the people will forget all that. inprovided that it passes september. are you going to start renegotiating some agreements? >> we think it is too early. we do not yet even know what measures we need. so, we will wait and see before we decide. >> are you concerned about some mixed messages from the government on tax measures? >> know, because, again, it has not even been opposed. so, we do not even know what the final project will be at the end of the year. so, we will see. at the moment, i think it is still to

and the same as macron who can say many tough things facing putin. but as long as business is being made with russia putin doesn't care. words are cheap. putin's empire depends on the west complacement and willingness to make money no matter what. we have yet to see the proper response from the united states and europe making sure not so much for putin but for his cronies. >> what do you miss most about living in moscow? >> my mother. she lives in mosco. it was too hard for her to move outside russia. she has two sisters, nephew, nieces. i have my son from a previous marriage. >> a lot of relatives there. now coming back and forth would be ideal, but for me now it's one-way ticket. >> all right. let's turn to "deep thinking. " artificial intelligence is already changing so much about society, about work, and yet to get to the 2016 election again, we were having debates about, you know, coal mining jobs and manufacturing sector rather than how do we adapt to this future that is not just coming, it's here. and you're an optimist, which is wonderful. i

the white house discussed the issue with emanuel macron on thursday. and the chief of staff is set to meet with south korea's president on monday. what a time to be talking instead of inflaming with more rhetoric that we've seen from more than one side here. >> yes. it's going to be an important time for u.s. and south korea to have an opportunity to be speaking directly. south korean officials have been standing by their allies, the u.s., all week. they have not been commenting publicly, officials at the government level, on what the president has been saying and the tone, instead they are pointing the finger at pyongyang for raising the tension on the peninsula and they maintain a full defensive posture and are ready to respond in a powerful way if provoked. that is a tame way of saying what puresident trump has been saying. you can remember the comment about fire and fury. and the threats ricochetting around the world from pyongyang to the president's home in bedminster, new jersey. both sides threatening various military action if the other side do

that macron can see would like to play an important roleon the international stage. one could say he is looking to maybe replace the role angela merkel has played for the last couple years. i think people here in berlin would actually welcome that. matt: thank you for joining us, sudha david-wilp. here in berlin, thank you so much and hope to see you again. we will continue this election special on really, the first monday in the campaign ahead of the september 24 election. this is bloomberg. ♪ matt: welcome back to "germany decides," our election special. there have been no accusations, no direct attacks. in fact, angela merkel even forgot to remind people to vote for her party at the cdu campaign rally. let's get reaction of the german press to the campaign kickoff. the to discuss is biographer of angela merkel, alan crawford. for those who don't know, this is the most widely read paper in germany, may be the most widely read paper in europe, actually. there is nothing about politics on the first page. there is some kind of celebrity drama going on with celebriti

what we are seeing in many countries, and france is a very good example, where although macron won the election and defeated the national front, a significant proportion of the population voted for a nationalist party, because they feel the economic opportunities are eluding them. is it not people looking for scapegoat5? people feeling dissatisfied and unhappy about their lot, and looking for people to blame? they are looking for people to blame, and they are looking for comfort. i think there i5 looking for comfort. i think there is some comfort in putting up the drawbridge, building a wall around your country and saying it is easy for us to fix our own problems, rather than other countries. and identity politics. and there is a belief that the only way to get rid of the problem is to deal with it on a nationalist basis, and deal with it in nationalist term5. a nationalist basis, and deal with it in nationalist terms. and in european countries there has always been a lot of nationalism, but more than muted a5 a sense of identity. and this next story in the guardian i5 and this next st
