Still o come on Worldwide Exchange this mornings top political stories. Including Donald Trumps unexpected and perhaps unwanted new backer. Stay watching. Youre with cnbc. Now that donald trump has secured all the delegates he needs. He says sure. He will debate Bernie Sanders if there is a big donation to charity as part of that debate. And by big, well this morning we now know exactly what his price tag is. Just a few hours ago Bernie Sanders told jimmy kimmel hes ready to debate donald trump. The goal would be to have it in some big stadium here in california. Hes got questions. Why mr. Trump wants to give hundreds of billions of dollars in tax breaks to the top. 2 . Trump insisting it involve a big debate on womens health. Experts say trump has nothing to lose. Trump has never really delivered a stellar debate performance yet his poll numbers always tick up. Hillary clinton has said she will not debate. Shes trying to focus on trump. Donald trump is an unqualified loose canon whi. While facing new questions the Inspector General said she broke rules not turning her emails over sooner. I know people have concerns. I understand that. But voters are going to be look at the full picture. What she needs to do more than anything too fix her problem is to get this whole thing behind her. In the meantime trump is looking past winning the white house. I want a statue in washington d. C. Well not clear if that is going to happen any time at all but what we do know is that hes already got a game plan for the fall. Wilfred and kayla, he says hes going to focus on 15 Battle Ground states but he didnt say which states. By not debating in california is this making clinton look somewhat weak . At this point there are only three of them and if two of them are going to debate and one not and added to the fact shes also dealing with this email controversy, you know, it does raise questions about whether shes trying to avoid debating Bernie Sanders while she says she really wants to focus on trump. Sanders last night said it was a little arrogant of her to say that this nomination is already locked up before californias even voted. Tracie thank you very much for that update live from washington. Tracie potts. Trump also has ideas if the Energy Industry if elected. Says he approved the keystone xl pipeline, reversing president obamas decision to block it on environmental concerns. He also says he would cut regulations to make u. S. Oil and coal company more competitive. A sharp contrast with Bernie Sanders and hillary clinton. Both support a better thing. And meanwhile Martin Shkreli is making it known who he plans to vote for. He says i havent been called by the trump camp. I support him versus hillary. Adding he should pick an experienced vp candidate. No response from trump yet w previously called shkreli a spoiled brat. But politicians needs friends everywhere they can get them. Especially going into the election. Well pharma is going to be a big topic. Plays into the hillarys hands there a little wit. Up next well get you caught up on all the morns top tostori. Plus the brexit referendum vote is weeks away. An experts take in a couple minutes it stinks in here.

Japan the nikkei up by abo about. 3 . And the week as a whole for asia pretty strong. As the whole for europe. Very strong. Oil prices wti and brent were above 50 parts of day yesterday. Ended below that and declined further this morning. Wti at 48. 9 but of course has been a resilient and positive couple of weeks for oil. A look at the ten year note as well in the u. S. Weve seen some gains over the last two weeks in the yield. Just down a little again today. The dollar has been strong. At the moment not too pronounced. But the weak euro really helping stocks in europe. Gold prices have been range bound over the course of the week and pretty much flat at 12. 23. The g7 leaders warning that brexit would. A few weeks to go until the all important brexit referendum. If we look at the since the date of the referendum was announced back in february. And now it is near the top of the range. So moving in line with the momentum of the polls. And kayla, of course as we await the vote people questioning whether turnout will effect things, and will it really impact equity markets as well. So far the and the dliep has already passed for expats. For expats to vote. Im registered, certainly. Anyones allowed to vote if they have a british passport. If you are a citizen. Many who moved abroad are upset they are not getting the chance to vote. Upstreetream eu leaders have drawn up a plan ba contingency plan for how they would react in the case of a brexit vote to leave the eu. What do you think that contains . And what do you think it should contain . Well if you talked to eu leaders about what they would try do if this happened, they would want to end whatever momentum to further referendums in the eu. They see break up as the biggest risk. You could have five or six referendum with other countries. They would try to deepen the eu, get countries to rally around. But they may not have to worry so much any longer. The markets have seen the policy moving a good direction. Looks like the exit campaigners are losing the financial argument and turning to emotional and emigration arguments and one story was a large increase of emigration to 33
