Global economy is slowing and becoming more divergent, says El-Erian

Mohamed El-Erian, Allianz chief economic advisor, speaks with CNBC's "Squawk on the Street" about his take on the global economy and how investors should approach markets that can no longer count on consistent support from central banks.
