7:03 pm
the beijing embassy was asking any mattie, there is clearly no way that brits in wuhan to contact them to the us and uk are going to agree on the us and uk are going to agree on the national security threat here, register and then when the so the national security threat here, so america will have to live with evacuation plan came, they could britain having made a different contact decision? they will not change minds evacuation plan came, they could co nta ct you evacuation plan came, they could contact you to let you know the information and let's go. which we thought was great, because we had in downing street. i think that is already heard about the american and entirely possible. the question on atlee brett said that line is what french and japanese and portuguese this for that special relationship and indian people all being between uk and us? over the past week, there have been hints at the prime minister would make less made evacuated. later on, yesterday at davos summit,. the chief evening, around midnight, i received an e—mailthat evening, around midnight, i received an e—mail that just repeated evening, around midnight, i received an e—mail thatjust repeated all the treasurer for the brits were talking information and to wait for a phone about the digital services tax, call, which i received around 10am another challenge between the us and today. and it was a gentleman from european countries. the british there are very clear that they were the foreign office in london saying going to pursue this descriptor he had been passing on details, detects. the response of that was
7:04 pm
for the secretary to say, perhaps we there was a space made on the plane, will pursue retaliatory tariffs. already, the stage was felt that the andl there was a space made on the plane, and i wanted to evacuate, i could, us and britain may have a more difficult role ahead of them, but, unfortunately, my son could particularly as britain emerges from the eu and starts to discuss what not. because they were only taking their economic relationship is like with the rest of the world, like pure british citizens. so, the independent of the eu. it seems they will not be leaning on this us chinese government won't let chinese relationship as hard as some nationals or mixed nationals go and observers initially thought. boris johnson's priority is to get the uk the british government won't release up johnson's priority is to get the uk up and running, post—brexit, he any paperwork to help them go. since wa nts to up and running, post—brexit, he wants to be a technical giant in the world, and it needs five to unpick we are stuck between a rock and a ha rd we are stuck between a rock and a hard place, i did get offered a seat huawei's involvement in a 4g, and to oi'i hard place, i did get offered a seat spend billions more with the other on the plane, i have turned it down, providers, that is not going to fight with him. the world need 56, it's not my health that i'm the question now is who is to build concerned about, i only want to leave in order to be able to save my it? britain needs relationships to
7:05 pm
prove that they are going to be an soi'i leave in order to be able to save my son from the risk, and i'm just economic powerhouse without the eu, so economic powerhouse without the eu, so without that united states really hoping that the foreign office goes to the neck does relationship, how is that a forged everything they can and gets him out ahead? i think that's a question of here. natalie francis there who that remains to be seen. it has always been a peculiar position for is in of here. natalie francis there who isina of here. natalie francis there who is in a really tricky position there the us government, when president with a dual national son, trump became the president, he three—year—old, who they won't let removed the us from the trade come of course she is not quick to ta ke come of course she is not quick to take that seat on the plane without him. let's see if the government partnership, which was supposed to steps in and tries to help her out. so we mentioned that airlines bea partnership, which was supposed to be a relationship that was going to based in north america, europe and asia are beginning corner in china. instead, the us has to scale back flights they to china. that's partly in because of advice gone alone, the allegations that from their governments, partly because demand for tickets china is not friendly outside of to china has fallen. british airways, indonesia's lion chinese businesses, the us is air, lufthansa and its subsidiaries attempting to do that by getting swiss and austrian airlines have all stopped flights to the chinese mainland with immediate effect. other eu countries to reject huawei united airlines has temporarily reduced its schedule between the us asa5g other eu countries to reject huawei as a 5g provider. the us are trying and three cities in china. to step up with their own tech companies in order to do so. you're on thursday hong kong will "temporarily" close some right, there needs to be a question of its borders with mainland china. over who will build 5g, the chinese four local airlines, cannot do it alone, otherwise we including cathay pacific, will cut flights to destinations in china. will be in this relationship with the us tells other countries not to air india says its regularflight between mumbai and shanghai has been
7:06 pm
engage with hallway. the british cancelled until mid february. and finnair has cancelled some argument is, in america, if you weekly flights from helsinki don't like it, where is the to beijing and nanjing. alternative? mike pompeo just arriving in the uk for those adam sack is the president of tourism economics meetings. mattie, do you think this reflects a broader difference between europe and the us, in terms the uk health secretary is chairing a meeting of the government's emergency of how they see the threat of china? committee this evening to discuss the british response to the coronavirus outbreak. the world health organisation says the whole world needs to take action to stop i have been told by european the spread of the new virus. here's our medical diplomats here that, basically, the europeans are more concerned about russia, and the us is more concerned correspondent, fergus walsh. about china hi — do you think that this was the last british airways is the case? in order to create a flight from china. another flew in from bashan, it follows the foreign office advising against all but essential travel there. the suspension of ba flights to and from mainland multilateral organisation that would china is until friday, be able to say, as a consensus but it may be extended. my worry was, i thought, well, position, that china is a problem if i get it and i go into hospital, and we need a united front against i would rather be going to hospital it. with the us not part of that over here than over there where you would just be a number, wouldn't you? i couldn't speak the language! organisation, having that kind of
7:07 pm
so, here i am. relationship with other countries, it is very difficult for the us to the health secretary, matt hancock, who chaired a meeting have as much leverage as it otherwise would. i think the so, here i am. concerns expressed by the us comment the health secretary, matt hancock, about china and other countries and who chaired a meeting of the government's emergency cobra other businesses trying to operate committee, said britain is arriving tomorrow on a repatriation flight in china, are set only thread that from wuhan would be quarantined is to be taken seriously. but with for 1h days. the president in the us trying to one option is housing create trade victories in their own them at a military base, but the ministry of defence right, trying to get the us and could not confirm this. china ties 13 deal done. the white i think that this is a pretty balanced response, actually, house trade agenda is moving along, given the circumstances. the question is how it relates to on the one hand, you have individuals who are marooned the question is how it relates to the rest of the world. when it comes in china at the moment to europe, the administration has and there is a responsibility been very clear it will set up for to british subjects to look us companies abroad. up until now, after their interests. there has been about tariffs, now against that, of protecting we're seeing with this conversation the british public and making sure that we don't bring back people about 5g and chinese companies, i and actually cause an outbreak think it will be the next front. of this coronavirus in the uk. thank you forjoining us, something the new virus which emerged in china that european diplomats keep raising is a variety of coronavirus, to me. why are the european so
7:08 pm
fixated on russia, which is a they take their name from these surface proteins which look declining power, should be much more like the tips of the crown. focus on the threat from china.|j now, a lot of common colds are caused by coronavirus. wonder, there may be some memories, but in the past 20 years, three dangerous new strains have in germany particularly, thanks to jumped from animals to humans. edward snowden, we know america was tapping some of its home—grown the sars virus emerged in 2002 products to spy on the germans. when in china and killed nearly we talk about security, there is 800 people worldwide, experience of the us side as well, i about one in ten of those infected. don't think some of them will want mers originated in saudi arabia to ta ke don't think some of them will want to take lessons from the us in 2012 and has killed administration. no, that is clearly administration. no, that is clearly a very different point of view on about 858 people one in three this one. the uk's departure from of those infected. the european union was signed and sealed just a few hours ago, the new coronavirus seems when the eu parliament ratified the withdrawal agreement. to be far less dangerous. after one referendum, two national elections, it is unclear what the death rate three prime ministers, almost four years of political wrangling — is because thousands of infected the uk will finally leave the eu patients are still in hospital, at 2300 gmt friday evening. but it does seem much less christian and i will be refill than sars and mers. on london bridge to mark the moment, which some will celebrate and some will lament. but today's vote was the last that british meps will ever —— lethal. take in strasbourg. it is worth pointing out as you would expect, seasonal influenza, flu, causes up to 650,000 deaths it was a session full of fine globally each year. speeches and some very familiar as with flu, there is mounting rhetoric, from the likes of guy verhofstadt of the greens,
7:09 pm
evidence that the china coronavirus who argued more europe is contagious before was the answer to brexit. and, of course, a valedictory people develop symptoms. speech from nigel farage — who waved the british flag, it is passed through the air in defiance of the normal in cuffs or by people touching parliamentary rules. droplets and services. —— costs. —— coughs. i know what you're going to miss us, i know you want to ban our national flags, but we're going to wave the virus infects the lungs, you goodbye, and will look forward, in the future, to working with you. causing a fever, a cough and in some cases, breathing difficulties and pneumonia. if you disobey the rules, the incubation period is generally three to seven days, you get cut off. but it may be up to 1a days. could we please remove the flags? the next two weeks will be crucial in seeing whether this outbreak peaks in wuhan and how much it spreads in and beyond china. fergus walsh, bbc news. defiant the end. but it is the end of an era, and when the agreement stopping all those fights whether what it will do something or if the was finally approved — 621 in favour, 49 against — people who are infected didn't know it was quite the moment. it and they have artie travelled, there was a rendition thatis it and they have artie travelled, that is the big concern here. look of auld lang syne, tears from some, how fast those numbers have grown. and some spontaneous applause. they sing. australians are sending all of their people to christmas island. two weeks on christmas island. now you
7:10 pm
are starting to sound like... yeah, thatis are starting to sound like... yeah, that is somewhat are saying they would rather stay in wuhan. donald trump has launched a tirade of attacks againstjohn bolton — amid fears in the white house that the former national security adviser — could derail the impeachment trial. in an early morning tweet mr trump wrote... no flags, but you can have scarves? we should remind you, although the uk is leaving on friday, nothing will change for 11 months. because the uk will enter a transition period with the eu, effectively a standstill arrangement, until december 2020. we're joined now from many more mistakes ofjudgment, brussels by barbara wesel — gets fired because frankly, senior europe correspondent if i listened to him, at deutsche welle. we would be in world war six by now, were you watching, that must‘ve been quite a moment? it is the end of an era. asa quite a moment? it is the end of an who indeed? era. as a funeral, it was first who indeed 7 who who indeed? who indeed? class, because so many participants broke down in tears, they were the tone of this reflects the urgency of the white house bid literally floods of tears. so much to stop mr bolton from testifying in the senate trial. friendship and love has never been that decision will likely be made on friday after senators poured out in the european get their chance to grill both parliament throughout all these
7:11 pm
the prosecution and defence. senate leader mitch mcconnell says years. the new commission president at this moment he is not sure said we will always keep loving you. whether he has the votes, to prevent the democrats call for bolton and others to testify. the italian president of the parliament said, i will not say so right now, senators are asking adios, i will say arrivederci, their questions of the lawyers — first up one of the key republicans because that means you could eventually come back. and so on and who would like witnesses. so eventually come back. and so on and so forth. it really made the hairs on your neck stand up, you almost one of the key republicans who is open to having witnesses, and she started to cry yourself because it had her question read out byjudge roberts. if president trump had more wasjust heart—rending, than one motive of his alleged started to cry yourself because it was just heart—rending, such started to cry yourself because it wasjust heart—rending, such an emotional moment after three and a conduct, such as the pursuit of half years of bitterness and so many personal political advantage, ha rd half years of bitterness and so many hard words. whatever the words they rooting out corruption and the use, whether it is au revoir or are promotion of national interests, how should the senate to consider more due, the truth is, most meps must than one motive in its assessment of realise this is due. the chances of article one? even if there was only blata ntly one motive, the theory of the abuse realise this is due. the chances of blatantly joining the eu realise this is due. the chances of blatantlyjoining the eu are pretty slim. of course they realise. that of power that the house managers is of course the rhetoric of the have presented, that subject a motive alone can become the basis la st is of course the rhetoric of the last moments. with a divorce, if the foran motive alone can become the basis for an impeachable offence, we partner has finally packed up and is
7:12 pm
standing in at the door, just ready believe is constitutionally to go out and leave, all of a defective. if there were a motive that was a public interest but also sudden, emotion overcomes you as you some personal interest, we think it think, did we really want this, it follows even more clearly that that was this really necessary, could we have prevented this? i think it's cannot possibly be the basis for an impeachable offence. quite a classical situation for it shows that all the people in a parliament and all the politicians that was chiefjustice john roberts lined up layer, after all, they are reading of the questions there, and the senate majority leader, mitch only human. do you think the way mcconnell come he agrees which senators are going to have their questions read out and and what that the europeans now speak to the order, and it's perhaps no surprise uk, does that have to change as that the very first question was well? we are saying, in this given to susan collins, who is, and actually come as you read a question country, the white that brexiteers on behalf of herself, lisa mccleskey and remainer speak to each other has to change. you know, stop blaming of alaska, and utah, senators who say there open to witnesses, perhaps them for the brexit, start engaging mitch mcconnell is showing them that them for the brexit, start engaging they are being listened to. them as a third country? they will engage them as a third country, for republicans would have to go across to both of these witnesses, there is no other way. friday night, and we have three. we have three on britain will be outside of the record. let's see what happens. can we union, then at the negotiations will quickly look at the calendar events. so these eight hours of questions begin abouta union, then at the negotiations will begin about a month afterwards, today, more questions tomorrow, and after the eu has come up with their then we think on friday, good time
7:13 pm
for you to come to london, than on own mission statement from michel friday we get a vote of witnesses. barnier, and then the hardness and if there is no vote of witnesses on toughness will return. those talks january 31, as a possible on friday, they just vote quickly to a about the future relationship are not going to be easy, because the january 31, as a possible on friday, theyjust vote quickly to a quit before the weekend? it's possible, two sides will want things from each the timetable is squashed, because other that the other side doesn't after that but i'm witnesses, we expect that to happen in the morning, there are than closing really wa nt other that the other side doesn't really want to can't easily. boris arguments from both sides. no, the johnson says he does not want to defence's argument might want to make that very quick, the stick to the rules, if you don't prosecution's arguments could run longer, so if they were going to stick to the rules, if you don't stick to the rules, if you don't stick to the rules, you can't have have an acquittal vote, it would easy access to our markets. after we have an acquittal vote, it would have to be later on in the day, possible, it might feel a little have all cry together, and it sort rushed, they certainly do the want of wrung out our handkerchiefs, it will be back to business— and it before next week because... because if you look again at the business as before, more or less. timetable, we have caucuses on everybody says, of course, we monday, and then on tuesday, the big respect the decision, it is done, we state of the union. the big set have to get on and look to the future, but is not going to be easy. piece events commensurately, donald trump would want to stand or sync music and i've been acquitted, maybe in terms of the way the two sides even some democrats haven't voted deal with each other, that is anger with the democratic conference. that would certainly... , my and recrimination, triumphalism and understanding of senate sources as loss on all sides, we saw some of they do not want to move that state
7:14 pm
that today. in terms of how the two of the union dates, so we are fixed with that state of the union date sides deal each other in the future, being on tuesday evening, so they would like to get it then, by the how much difference does it make where we are on december 31 of this way, one less piece of news, the white house has sent a letter to john saying that the book, he can't year, how much manages to get achieved by the end of this year? publish it in its current form, many in the eu are very doubtful because the white house has too many about borisjohnson many in the eu are very doubtful concerns about occurrence so about boris johnson and's timing, he because the white house has too many concerns about occurrence so they put an injunction on it, nothing to has reiterated over and over that he stop them about speaking out in public of course though. wants to get this done within ten last week donald trump signed a phase one trade months, that is all because talks agreement with china. today he has signed off can snack on a one. this is going to the new and improved nafta agreement with mexico and canada; the nafta agreement he dismissed the worst trade deal ever. be highly complex treaty negotiations, there will be a lot of technical details involved, there will be big political decisions to in truth 90 % of it looks very familiar but there be made, and that is going to be a are some key changes, which both sides in congress say will improve things lot of give and take going on, the for american workers. here's what changes... two sides will have to give in on under nafta 62% of car parts had some aspects and get something from to be made in north america — that includes mexico and canada. the other side. to balance all this under the usmca that rises to 75%. out, it will be very complicated, under the old deal there was no minimum wage for car workers. and i'm afraid it might become under the new one, 40% of car acrimonious again. let's hope it workers must earn $16.
7:15 pm
doesn't. thank you very much for and formerly, canada joining us. restricted access to its this is beyond 100 days. still to come: markets for us farmers. now, american farmers can sell more dairy and poultry to canada — and vica versa. michelle fleury is at life on the presidential trail invovles a lot of shaking of hands, kissing babies, but — the white house for us. oh how to greet a friendly dog? mike bloomberg has a novel approach. we'll explain. the franchise to run rail services this is a big moment of triumph or across much of the north the president, and it was a of england has been stripped from the operator, considerable moment of arriva rail north, and nationalised. bipartisanship between considerable moment of bipartisa nship between democrats considerable moment of bipartisanship between democrats and republicans, although, some of the for years, passengers on northern suffered delays, key democrats weren't actually there cancellations and overcrowding on out—of—date trains. at the white house for the signing tom burridge has been listening ceremony. that's right. i mean, this to commuters tales of woe. is one of those moments, where, as you say, we saw democrats and i've had to move house to be closer republicans work together to try to to uni because the trains get this trade deal done in onto the are cancelled, or late, and i really struggle to get presidents desk so he could sign into law, but you couldn't tell that in in time for lectures and stuff. so, it's been really hard. from the south and a couple hours ago, because there were 400 plus people in attendance at the event, you've moved house because of an unreliable train service? yeah. workers, business leaders and politicians, but going through the list that the white house put out, i i've, like, moved towns completely. quite a lot of people, including myself, will end up could not see a single democrat on
7:16 pm
the list, and in fact, nancy pelosi spending an extra £100, £150 a week sometimes on taxis held a press conference earlier on because the train hasn't come, i need to be in work. in the day basically touting the so, i'm a head chef at the moment, democrats involvement in the labour if i don't get in, people don't eat. unions involvement in getting this but nationalising this vast network deal done. but none of that was — which runs from the humber, apparent here, as donald trump in the east, to places celebrated, essentially getting one of the promises he made on this like blackburn, further west, trade deal past today. michelle, i linking communities to cities like leeds — won't change things overnight. heard the secretary say the provisions in this trade agreement northern's parent company said are better than the us have had in it did what it could. we have been trying to put more any other trade agreement, so does services on the network, this become a template for the us uk but the network hasn't kept up, and that has meant that trade deal? i think the issues are services have become far too unreliable and, rightly, a new plan is now needed. somewhat different. in part because the government wants here, you are talking about a deal performance—based contracts instead. between the us, canada, and mexico, so, rather than this franchise system, which i think so between the us, canada, and mexico, so in mexico, you have a country has now run its course, where, essentially, the minimum wage have a system of service is far lower than the us, and so if contracts for passengers, perhaps over a longer period of time. you are trying to make goods for this huge market that's on your and most important of all, doorstep of the united states, then they get paid when they actually one of the reasons there was concern do theirjob, when trains turn up on time. was thatjobs had been outsourced at the moment, that is not the system with our network. one of the reasons there was concern was that jobs had been outsourced to factories in mexico, because it was whatever the system, whoever‘s in charge, passengers want basic things.
7:17 pm
cheaper labour. when you are talking about her trade deal between the uk in the united states, it's a i'm late for everything i do. i'm not going to lie, like, different picture altogether. now, a one time, ijust cried short while ago, i got to speak to a because my train was cancelled! they laugh representative from illinois, rodney but it's horrible, because itjust affects all your plans. and when you just want to get home davis, and he was very much touting the benefits of this deal and from work, it's just the little things like that, looking forward to more deals in the when you just want to go home future, and he specifically and spend time with your family, mentioned doing something with post you can't even do that. brexit britain for his constituents, it's a massive impact. it's all about gaining more access for industry groups like farmers, chemical industry, manufacturers, he represents autoworke rs as chemical industry, manufacturers, he this week we see two highly represents autoworkers as well. politcally divisive issues playing that's the kind of thing you can out on each side of the atlantic — the impeachment trial here, expect in a sort of uk us deal. and the uk formally leaving the european union somewhat different that the labour on friday evening. protections that are really enshrined in what we are seeing signs now. michelle, thank you very these issues are coming to a head, but they are taking their toll much forjoining us, of course, on how we view politics. global dissatisfaction those two long borders between the with democratic politics has us, canada, mexico, those car parts, reached an all—time high — remember, christian, going backwards and forward so many times across that's according to a new report by researchers at cambridge university. those borders, though it hard to the study analysed data from more replicate in a free trade deal with than four million people — the us and the uk. but let's focus in on sentiment so what does the deal
7:18 pm
mean for americans — in the us and the uk. and for canadians and mexicans. a short while ago we spoke to chief economist at back in 1995 — at that time people grant thornton, diane swonk. were pretty satified — in the us, only 25% — so, diane, we have laid out the and for the uk, 47 % — numbers there and what has changed of people had issues between nafta and the usmc a, how with the democratic system. much better will this agreement to be for american workers? it's not those number leap last year — really clear that there will be a in the us, more than 50% of people, whole lot better for american and for the uk, around 61% workers, because it will be more expensive to produce in the united states. the hope was was that it are dissatisfied with democracy. would retainjobs, the biggest, i think, success of the us mca is that we're joined from cambridge we don't have a collapse were all of by mike kenny, director a sudden nafta and did, that this is of the bennett institute for public policy at cambridge — some kind of a continuation with which has launched the centre some kind of a continuation with some upgrades on intellectual property and making it more modern for the future of democracy today. for a more modern world in terms of the digital world we live in today. what for the future of democracy today. is at the centre of what is at the centre for the future of democracy, what are you trying to and i guess for both the mexicans do? i guess we are trying to look at and the canadians, that was the big fear, rage? that there may be no the big picture, what is happening free trade agreement at all under to democracy right around the world. the trump administration. does this we have our own issues in the uk, we deal then given that all trade are aware of developments in at the negotiations are give—and—ta ke deal then given that all trade negotiations are give—and—take and some winners and some losers, how us, but we are trying to look at if does this deal impact mexicans and there are any international

patterns, trends that we can't spy. canadians? well, really, the issue also thinking about what kind of solutions that we might put in place is that we have to increase us to do with the challenges that our content, so the content in the north democratic politics are facing. american content for mexico to canada, that's a big increase in those figures that we just showed, content, the baby to the neck of the ina those figures that we just showed, in a nutshell, how do you account issue is in mexico they actually have to change labour laws, even for them? i think with all these though it's been signed today, it's not being implement it today, has to things, that is quite a complicated be ratified in canada which story that's playing out. some of shouldn't take too long, but you the factors that we see emerging also have to change labour laws to allow for more unionization in mexico before it can actually be behind these trends, because the implemented, so this is something trend is particularly in the us and thatis sort of ceremonial today, but it's uk, go back some years. you're not going to be implemented, may not absolutely right to pick out recent even be implement to before the end of the year, before the end of 2020, developments are too, but we picked which is kind of interesting that up developments are too, but we picked up things like... we notice that there is this long leg still out when countries reach a certain there is this long leg still out there because of all the changes they made to it. it will also be threshold of an equality in terms of income levels for those at the top more difficult for mexico, because they have to increase the wages of computer those at the bottom, the their workers, and it's nice to say satisfaction arises. also when on paperand their workers, and it's nice to say on paper and easier to get through a people feel a bit powerless, some more leftist leaning leadership, people feel a bit powerless, some which they have in mexico, but it's people feel a bit powerless, some people feel locked out of the much harder to do in reality. and system. again, that seems to one of the things we have seen is correlate with a rising sense of
7:20 pm
that mexico was expected to be, also dissatisfaction. it begs the one of the beneficiaries to the question, if people feel so trade problems we had with china, dissatisfied with democracy, and now this is sort of sending them a rdently back a little bit in terms of what dissatisfied with democracy, ardently more open minded to they have to do to step up to make sure they continue to stay inside of nondemocratic alternatives? that is a big question, if really important nafta's rules. question. i have to say that i don't let's look at the politics of it for see that much evidence that people a second. the administration is are saying, let's get it out saying that, ok, it may be more democracy, let's go to another expensive to produce, but this will system, let's take on a kind of bring back 75,000 automotive jobs to authoritarian model. there may be a the us, which sounds to me like a little bit of evidence of that. i real shock in the arm for donald think people are more just trump when he goes to those rust dissatisfied, more people are belt states later in the year. well, satisfied, nevertheless, there is an certainly that is a good talking alternative model. this is the point with it, right now, we are on syste m alternative model. this is the system that we have got, and it is the other side of manufacturing just not working for a larger number comments added insult to injury, and of people. i had a conversation with 110w comments added insult to injury, and now even more with the 737 boeing, because of tariffs in the trade wars a former chairman of the us federal that we've had. so, it doesn't ring, reserve the other day, he said, it it's not exactly going to be a ringing endorsement until those jobs is pretty simple, you can put a actually show up, and it's not clear metric on the point at which people we are going to get that manyjobs turn on democratic systems, it is against the backdrop of automation, and all the things that the us has somewhere where economic growth is
7:21 pm
below 2% which may account for some to do to produce more competitive vehicles. it means fewer workers —— of in europe, but certainly wouldn't fewer workers, rather than more work in the us where it is 4%. as the us is on the plan for, so i think that the real issue is can we move the where it is 4%. is there between economic growth and keenness on needle in terms of the tariffs that are currently being suffered in the democracy? that is a relationship, manufacturing sector and hitting the but i would suggest it is not quite auto sector, particularly the suppliers in the auto sector, fast as direct as alan greenspan is enough to alleviate that pressure on suggesting they had. we found that, those states that are heavy actually, political events make a manufacturing states before we get big difference to how people feel to the polls. diane, thank you very much forjoining us. interesting about democratic politics, so it's notjust the economy. he also that you asked about the politics there, because if you look at about democratic politics, so it's not just the economy. he also found that, actually, economic growth overall is a fairly weak predictor president trump's approval rating overall it's summer at the moment of how people feel. it's more that when certain kinds of events happen, about 44%. if you look at his if you suddenly get a massive spike approval rating when it comes to handling the economy, look at that, in inflation, or if people feel that it shoots up to 56%. some of the their government are not handling their government are not handling the economic challenges of the day, provisions in the new usmc are thatis the economic challenges of the day, that is when you get these directly targeted, you suggested movements. is that because we are those rust belt states and in all talking to one another in our particular wisconsin commentary bubbles, social media, so we feed production from us all the farmers the dissatisfaction that we feel? they are going to benefit michigan,
7:22 pm
home of detroit and cars, and so there are different possible explanations is that it is clearly they are going to benefit as well. true that in italy would have been living today, it is not hard to find there's a lot of politics going on your way to other people who are as well in this new trade deal. equally dissatisfied. the fingers, these trends are in place, looking and wejust talk as well in this new trade deal. and we just talk about the acronym? back at our data, we have look right i get that he didn't like nafta, but back at our data, we have look right back to the 1990s, and we can see us mca doesn't really slip off the some of these trends emerging before tongue. i think more of the song, we are all on a social media. i but i think that's... think the root of this is really the village people, the us mca, you quite deep. 0k, joining us from have to sing it. i met either one are not very good though, is a? cambridge, michael kenny. good luck with the new centre. let's be honest. we are scraping the next week, the large field barrel. that's plain to see. of democratic candidates who are competing to challenge donald trump for the white house, face their first election test — the iowa caucuses. 0k, barrel. that's plain to see. ok, moving on. according to a new york times poll barrel. that's plain to see. 0k, moving on. moving swiftly along. released at the weekend, senator bernie sanders when donald trump is in the lead, and his closest unveiled his plan for a middle east rival, pete buttigieg, peace settlement yesterday he told is several points behind. us that israel's neighbours jane o'brien caught up want this to happen — with him on the campaign and promised ‘tremendous support‘ trail in new hampshire. for the plan from the arab world and beyond. so far — the response from the arab world has been muted. no arab nation has the next president of the united formally backed the deal.
