reach an disagreement. >> german marks the 25th anniversary of the fall of the berlin wall, including a fireworks display and a symbolic releasing of ball oops from the site where the wall stood. >> president obama landed in china, you are looking live. it's the first visit to the second-largest economy since dwayne 2009. >> later this week he visit myanmar and australia. >> time for "the week ahead". president obama will attend asia. coming days after midterm elections, his drip is critical on multiple levels. we start with an overview from melissa chan. >> there's a thing called the trans-pacific partnership. it's an important trade deal. it is not the focus of a trip to asia, but at almost every stop it's likely to be a talking

point. it's a deal worked out between the united states and 11 other countries in asia, and it would be the biggest thing in the world trade organization. the road to a final agreement is not smooth. japan can't work outed some details with the u.s., and here in the united states some critics are worried about the deal. they say it will give rise to the tyranny of multinational corporations. china is not part of the tpp it's intentional. american officials insist otherwise. they welcome china if beijing was official. it's a region dominated by china, reasserting influence is a priority for the administration. a lot of leaders express doubt

about president obama's pivot strategy, an attempt to rebalance priorities. event in the middle east and europe compete for attention, if you combine it with cuts to the military, it's not clear how in asia pivot strategy would work. the centrepiece of the trip is the meeting of the asia-pacific economic cooperation forum or apec, what was on the sidelines of apec is just as important or more important than the forum itself. china is hosting this year. many countries at the table will not sit comfortably and will definitely welcome president obama's return it promises to be a full trip, one that is not likely to solve problems, and it

might, if all goes well, start the process of rebuilding u.s.-asia relationship that many feel washington has neglected. >> it will be a full trip. it's the first time the president attended the apec summit. china's economic power has many worried about its influence. during the 10-day trip he will visit myanmar, formerly known as burma to meet with asean. finally, the president will be heading to ilya bryzgalov australia for the g20 summit. as many as 4,000 delegates were expected to attend. development, energy and global institutions are among the topics on the agenda. to talk about president obama's trip, i'd like to welcome isaac, editor of foreign policy, and executive director of progressive economy joining us.

great to have you with us. >> thank you for having me. >> thank you. >> the political climate changed for the president. chinese stayed media described the president as the leader. does the shift in congress welcome a political role. it weakens the role in terms of how much he'll be able to argue with beijing, if he's seen as a lame duck president. and if they know he'll get the same pore were republican congress. i think they'll take advantage of that. are you surprised. he was a superpower on the world stage. i don't want to say gradual, but over the last 4-5 years, china has been assertive and they see the united states as a superpower. they don't come out and say it, they see themselves as equals with the united states.

how much will the trip test the president's ability. there's a bit of a difference with isaac. it's not the first thing that asians have seen of the the president is going out there. a lot of backing from both parties. when we thing about the military role in the region. there's support for that. and chinese and other governments know that. can republican controlled senate strengthen the president's hand when it comes to trade. >> i think the senate would be supportive on tpp either way. it's yet to be seen. they are thinking what their priorities will be, i think in general, there's pretty - there's good bipartisan support on this. if he brings home a deal,

preserving the global internet. they'll be well received. >> the obstacles tpp faces. >> i think the biggest obstacle that the tpp faces, no one outside of the media and the government nose what tpp is. it's not a big issue. >> it's not something that as an editor in a magazine, whenever we run articles, they have a difficult time to read them. it is a headline. it's not something that people are passionate about. >> your thoughts? >> i think that that's basically right. tpp is a negotiation that had been worked on. it hasn't burst into the public eye. the administration, i think, can do that as a weakness. if they bring home something good, they can define something that helps accelerate and

promote values. it's not just a bad thing. >> stand by. i want to bring in my colleague, adrian brown, covering the president's trip. what does asia want from the apec summit. >> china want a lot. it won't get what it wants, but the focus of this apec summit is regional integration. china sees it is at the center of that. it's very important for china, grave misgivings, because it is proposing something similar. china wants to see the creation of a vast investment bank where analysts say rival the asian development bank and the international monetary fund. the u.s., japan, korea and australia have been reluctant to sign up because they have concerns about governance and

accountability. where can the u.s. and china agree? >> one area is certainly counterterrorism. the united states is hoping to get cooperation from china in the campaign against i.s.i.l. it will refrain from criticizing policies. in return china wants u.s. recognition nor its problems in shin jang where it has a home grown problem of islamic mill stands. >> the president will meet, as you know, with xinjiang to establish a blueprint for u.s. china relations, what can the president do or say to craft a strong enough blue print moving forward? >> well, i think it's important to remember that president obama will have a full day on wednesday. that is a reflection of the

importance of the relationship with president obama. what will they discuss. a contentious issue of cyberest bion irge. china wants to discuss things like ebola, and, of course, climate change, but china wants consensus at the apec. it wants harmony. it will pull out the shots. china wants to convey an image to its people, and the leaders of the world have come to china. before we let you go, the skies behind you. still hazy, it looks clearer. there's reason for that, right. >> thomas, it is a lot clearer than it would normally be at this time of year. china has been pulling out all the stops to ensure clear skies,

factories within a 200km radios of the center have been shut down for six days, factories have been told to reduce emissions by 30%, only those with odd number plates are allowed to go on the roads. china is going what it can to ensure there are low emissions during the apec. we have a massive security operation. 30,000 police and soldiers on duty, supplemented by 800,000 volunteers. that really underscores the sponsor that china puts on hosting a clean and safe apec. >> aaron brown covering the president's trip in beijing. thank you. back to you, mr fish. how big of an obstacle is china? >> it's a broad question. >> do you mean for... >> when it comes to trade? >> i don't think china sees

itself as an obstacle. for china to trade in general. it's an american way of doing trade. >> it's doing a thing called the new silk road agreement. offering 40 million to start a fund. china and central asia. this is china's way of doing trade. a lot of money, not a lot of clarity, money being spent. and sent to governments as opposed to individual businesses, and private businesses. this is different from the tpp and more the way that china wants to do things. both great for trade. what do the u.s. have to gain. what's the interest in pressing a major trade pass. >> well, there's a couple of interests we have, one is for our own where you weres. the u.s. is not fully recovered

from the enjoy crisis, there's elfaith financial -- elevated financial employment. if we could export we could grow the economy and put more people back to work. tdp doesn't have china but is 40% of the u.s. trade. there's real money, large economic stakes for the u.s. and then looking ahead, the point about different chinese model is a useful way to see this, that u.s. is looking for future asia pacific economy that is open and based on laws, and clear rules, that deals with labour standards, as well as company profits that works hard to preserve the single and open internet. they are questions of how the economy works, how it should, and in terms of the immediate stake of how do we grow and get

more exports and create the asian pacific economy. >> some leaders may see the president as being sidetracked. are they wary of the president's commitment to the region, a lot of allies in tokyo in seoul and the philippines are worried, they have to walk a line saying this is the asian pacific region, we'll rebound and not alienate the chinese. we need u.s. balance and see it as a thinly veiled attempt. we think obama administration does a better job, than, say, kerry, and hopefully with the last two years in office, hopefully he can focus on china.

>> how do you think it will shape his lasting legacy in the region. >> in terms of reelingses with china, the more the united states can keep the debate focused on politics, and legal rights, anything outside the economy, the more it wins, the more it becomes about the economy. it is growing faster and vibrant. >> final thoughts on the legacy in the region. >> i think you'll leave a good legacy in asia, but tpp will be an institutional change, setting the rules for the future economy. that'll be something that the president will be proud to leave behind. >> isaac fish, editor and ed, director of progressive economy. appreciate your time tonne "the week ahead." >> thank you. >> let's look at other events in "the week ahead". on monday, a national memorial

service in amsterdam for the fibbing films of mh17. it was shot down over ukraine killing 300 on board. tuesday is veterans day. november 11th is arma cities day. wednesday - the u.n. committee against torture will begin a review in a meeting in geneva. they'll look at secret detentions and renditions among other controversial practiceses. >> n.a.s.a. prepares, more on the journey of the orion spacecraft. >> it's a new kind of taxi service for women only. details when we come back.

the service is the first of its kind in a city estimating 236 million people, women, hopping in cabs each year. women have been riding taxis in new york since 1940. 19.9% of yellow yab drivers are male. >> that is part of the reason she founded the company. >> it's a movement to empower women. we deserved equal rights and equal pay, equal choice. they turn the app on when they are ready for work. for working mothers, mother that would like to work, but are home with the children, they have the flexibility of children. women call the taxis through their smartphones. barr tender says it's been a life saver after a bad experience with a male driver. >> halfway through the ride the cab driver forgot to turn the meter on making it seem like it
