as it does come from the use of the designs they should problematic cognitions have not. and those polls will remain in the bill but a conservative government is willing to go back on its workers to break an international agreement signed in good faith we stand by our commitments thank you . also coming up there are 2 more u.s. presidential debates scheduled before the november election the commission in charge of those debates has announced changes hoping to prevent a repeat of what the world witnessed in disbelief this week well as president x. now to be honest it's a very important you know i sit up now as i did at the answer to my finance no ukraine no sir with a 1000000000 dollars if you that really is about you know when you're not come through pay are you doing it you're going to not a true gentleman. but you our viewers watching on p.b.s.

in the united states into all of you around the world welcome but we begin the day with the question who trusts the british government the answer not the european union and that proof well it's now in writing today the european commission initiated legal action against the u.k. for violating the brics that withdrawal agreement now since 2016 there have been countless hours late night meetings long summits dedicated to negotiating an acceptable exit of the u.k. from the european union a break sit divorce that both sides can live with and that is what was reached in what is known as the withdrawal agreement and although his government negotiated it u.k. prime minister boris johnson now insists that the u.k. have the right to change that agreement in the future without consulting the european union johnson says this is about preserving u.k. sovereignty europe says britain is a country on an agreement and violating international law in the process. this

draft bill is a by its very nature a breach of the obligation of good faith laid down in the withdrawal agreement moreover if adopted as is it will be in full contradiction to the protocol of ireland northern island. the deadline lapsed yesterday the problematic provisions have not been removed therefore this morning the commission has decided to send a letter of formal notice to the u.k. government this is the 1st step in an infringement procedure. ursula from the lion there talking about the 1st step joining me here at the big table to talk about that is briggs and what's a commentator john worth a familiar face to our viewers good to see you again john so you what u.k. lawmakers they're not arguing with the european union here they agree that what

they are doing violates the droll agreement and what they are doing breaks international law it could use what they're saying basically the british at the line of the british government is this is essentially a worst case scenario that britain would potentially break international law but brussels doesn't trust that law and that's why it's become legal proceedings today the very important point is it's only begun this is basically the european commission sending letters of london saying tell us what you really are trying to do here and before britain has to answer that the house of lords of the 2nd chamber polman has to look at this little and it to me might just still save the day and prevent it actually coming to a case in coalition with what are the chances of the house of lords saying they. have a 5050 something like that and there is certainly much more opposition to this by behavior jonas's government in the house of lords than in the house of commons particularly from some form of conservative party medias like michael howard who sits in the house you know viewers once he does he maybe not follow this all the

time but will look at this story and say the current u.k. government go she agreed to the bridge that was rolled agreement if it yet the prime minister boris johnson nail meetings that the agreement could be a threat to the u.k. how was that possible they said yes to it. this is essentially because the conservatives have never faced the inherent problem with brits it's to do with northern ireland essentially the deal that boris johnson negotiated and agreed with brussels essentially imposes some kind of controls controls on goods that would be exported from northern ireland to the rest of the u.k. that was a olds with what to reason they had previously negotiated she said i'm never going to have any sort of border between northern ireland in the rest now boris johnson said hang on a minute i've not sure i want that now because that is actually potentially causing some division between northern ireland and the rest i mean he's never faced that

inherent problem that there is within breaks it is essentially the northern ireland question and since he himself he can't make up his own mind he doesn't have his own policy and i think that's what best explains the seeming contradiction with the now has a month to respond to this notice that was said today from brussels do you think that the response is going to be satisfactory to the europeans and the and is there a court or a judge who would then be able to solve this since the crucial point is is this in all of the so-called internal market barely sufficient to piece of legislation of course all these problems of brussels what are the chances that lots that current draft will become a law by the end of october i think is probably about $5050.00 that that will be the case that there is certainly major opposition in the house of lords if it does 2 things then potentially happen a case comes before the european court of justice but that could take some moments to happen even if they sped up the procedure because normally that can take a couple of years before a court

a court case gets to the european court of justice and much more important what we'll see at the end of october is processes ok u.k. we don't trust you we're told now we don't even stop talking to try to find a break sit deal by the end of the year on the future trade negotiations and so both sides start planning for the worst a so-called no deal breaks it. by the end of this year because of course that's the crucial thing the clock is really taking it's less than $100.00 days until this cliff edge at the end of 2020 and we don't know still is that going to be a deal and or no deal at the end of december which is take a listen pick up on what exactly what you just said there which is take a listen to what the european parliament president said today about brakes and negotiations moving forward to. an agreement and he said what i will of course will be at the negotiating table until the bitter end and we hope that people realize that this is a historic moment. and they realize the consequences if at the end of the year

there's no possibility of a deal to have an agreement they have to also respect previous agreements otherwise we can't make any progress i mean you know for us we know and now what he's saying is it's almost like this this minor minor minor problem could explode and destroy the entire breaks it project. yes. although you must also see the point that there are only bond options available for the u.k. from now it's either a break city with a minimal trade deal which will cause quite some consider. problems at the borders or it's no deal which could be potentially a catastrophe if there are there are problems with thousands of trucks curing at the ports of dover for example but i think what's what society the parliament president said there is complete correct brussels will steadily determinately keep

trying to solve these problems until it can try no more all but likewise what we've seen today is this distrust which has developed into a question of how do you continue negotiating with the people sitting across the table from you you think would double cross you this is difficult in what has been done both sides is to take the negotiations down a level down to the level of bania the chief negotiator on the e.u. side and frost his u.k. counterpart try to de politicize those talks about this of stand t.v. issues that they're trying to get to grips with things like fisheries policy or state aid so how much governments can subsidize failing industries and so therefore they've tried it in the e.u. has tried this all along is to keep those type of those technical talks going while at the same time the high level politics has become increasingly sour but maybe witching the end of that i think what is going to boil down to is some high level political agreement that would be needed some point of it's going to be a very rocky end of october beginning of november if we haven't got an agreement by

then then both sides are going to have to plan for the worse but we nor quite at that stage yet what happens to the u.k.'s reputation globally if it breaks international wall as it currently is planning to do right and this is very very important because britain has said ok we might have a souring relationship with the european union but we want to sign trade deals potentially with the united states although bear in mind that the political situation at us difficult but also. with countries like canada or australia or new zealand and if you were those countries just now would you even want to negotiate a trade deal with the u.k. knowing that they dissension even a dome a deal that they had with their closest neighbor the government of with boards johnson in charge would probably be the one that would be suspicious to most play exactly and so the british government in its international reputation has lost an enormous amount of trust its also in its foreign policy towards iran for example and if iran is breaking its commitments under nuclear deals britain is britain

there in a position to say i've got a minute you're not respecting what you signed up to another regimes can point back and you can go so well you didn't suburbans international credibility has taken huge hits here not only in trade well you know it is october 1st we've got 3 months until the end of the year we will see what happens or what i think is going to happen to be a bumpy ride insulin jungwirth as always we appreciate your analysis excellent thank you. but today is october 1st the 4th and final quarter of 2020 a year that we have seen unprecedented self induced shocks to the global economy in march when countries began throttling back their economies in order to slow the corona virus outbreak there was broad hope that both the shutdown and the recovery from that shutdown would be brief a very recovery but the pandemic the economy and the alphabet they have proven very unpredictable in the united states initial jobless claims remain at levels higher

than the records reached during the great recession of 2008 this week disney announced plans to cut 28000 jobs a direct result of consumers staying home and the airlines perhaps more than any other sector are feeling the pandemic pain tens of thousands of airline workers in the u.s. are said to become unemployed this month airlines accepting federal bailout money are required to keep all workers on the payrolls that federal assistance ran out yesterday and the airlines say they have no choice but to cut costs radically. to keep people in this state of worry and uncertainty is just cruel there's 100000 workers who are facing being out of work as of thursday and those are on various statuses but 100000 people immediately facing being out of work and many of them losing their health care as well there's so many emotions that are holding their my way in through the veins of you know another american airlines flight attendants

who are also 'd on the last day of the payroll support program or their wives or job maintain our health care and we don't know what's going to happen next year we don't know what's going to happen next my colleague mark johnson w. business joins me now here at the big table we are glad as you said long ago that we were given the aviation sector solution right now i mean the u.s. airlines they're in a crisis but they are not alone this week the international air transport association revised its for your forecasts 2020 minutes and it was a bit bad before before now we're expecting what is an air travel to full 66 percent from 2090 levels and i'm not surprised when i see for example that in august we just talk about the month of august traffic volume dropped 75 percent that's just always because as you know you know volume isn't always the same when you book a ticket in moggs for one destination it's sort of fairly affordable when you book

it for july or august which ought to be called a day month you can pay 34 times the same for the same destination when all of that didn't quite work out this year because people didn't travel as much not because they didn't want to but because they couldn't you have travel restrictions you have trouble warning you have mandatory quarantines so a lot of people be thinking all right a half or 2 weeks to go on holiday but do i have an extra 2 weeks notice during the you would because of the quantity is right or that is very very tricky and of course the fia will i get infected when i go on board of a plane now everybody says. aviation industry certainly says that a plane is probably the safest place once it's up in the air because of the air conditioning. and the filters and everything they have but what about before you take off and land and will the person sitting next to you wear the mask properly so many many issues and just in order to to make things work i added did not just raise the percentage of air traffic volume that dropped this year they also say

that quite possibly we won't return to pretend to make levels before 2024 we're talking about around 4 years of tough times for the aviation industry and that affects airlines you mentioned. layoffs here i mean what do you do when you don't earn money well you start cutting costs as you usually it means layoffs you know people are expensive we have seen since the beginning of this pandemic that the majority of jobs being cut are not high paid they're not high skilled jobs so we're not seeing this is the recovery we're seeing a recovery that looks more like a kid which is an interesting it's an interesting i looked it up the late i mean i still parts of that debate who had the the moderate poor man who had to be a little hard to deal with yeah well let's let's call it a debate let's just say yeah. but yeah he sort of mentioned that and i sort of

thought ok i'm familiar with the v. with the you with the l. which really isn't good so what's k. and k. shaped recovery but basically all the wealthy people all the really highly qualified professionals they're doing ok the rest well forget about it is not a very nice image but when you look at the reality when you look at the world around you it's not that far off even as you mention the u.s. there you already see that. the white population the recovery the job recovery hof way they have. back to normal amongst minorities it's not so whatever problems you had before the pandemic it's. worse now everything is to say oh absolutely and not only in the us you have it pretty much everywhere in the western world that industries like technology retail software companies they're doing really well they even hiring again but it's the low wage ones and you find

them mostly in hospitality sector in tourism of course entertainment well a lot of freelancers work they don't benefit from those stimulus packages they don't even exist for most of the the politicians and they can't often plame claim benefits so it's a i personally still i would like to root for the you shaped recovery can we agree on that you say it'll it'll take about 2 years to get out of recession because we want to think about think you're on to something but saying it's going to take longer even with the airline industry is it's going to take longer than just a year or 2 that we've been told so far germany has to fairly well when it comes to the labor situation they've avoided mass layoffs with these short work programs but you know that costs a lot of money to the taxpayers the model works well for short term well as as is in the name already. but how does this look now with this pandemic taking as well

to 2021 well the good news is the german government already decided to extend that program until the 31st of december 2021 so if companies feel that they don't want to. because they need to them once business is picking up again but they can't afford to keep them without the order books being as full as they they should pray that program is extended until the end of next year which of course costs a lot of money and germany already spent a lot of money one trillion euros available for emergency loans guarantees direct aid that's a 3rd of g.d.p. now germany. started on a very good level of course on a high level and even if it has to take on debt which it has to it's also doing it under favorable conditions unlike many other countries and obviously the pandemic is a pandemic because it's global so everybody has the same problem and if governments want to keep a well stable economy somehow in their in their countries and and also stability

when it comes to to social issues if they have to 2 possibilities they can continue to pump billions of years into the economy which means taking out the debt and eventually having to pay high interest which could be a problem for countries like the us even. or they say alright let's just open up a business pretend to the virus doesn't exist but like sweden perhaps but even they have a drop in economic output of 9 percent and a high death rate i don't think i would prefer accuracy molecules of business monica excellent analysis thank you. well if you watch the us presidential debate on tuesday between donald trump and joe biden i do not need to tell you that no one no one wants a repeat the orgy of interruptions and insults was so extreme historians are already calling it the worst presidential debate in u.s. history today the editorial board of the new york times put it in one sentence

president trump's performance on the debate stage was a national disgrace. some 12 hours after the debate had concluded the commission on presidential debates announced plans to adjust the format for the remaining debates what is still being considered should the moderator be able to turn off a candidate's microphone would that have saved tuesday's debate debacle from taking american democracy to a new low well as president expects now to be honest it's a very important how i see it up now so i doubt it the answer the question asked no and i'm proud of him but why was i out of my head on that millionaire and he wasn't camera sensibilities of attack is it totally that i didn't firmly residents try to get warnings that there's already been a total already discredited ukraine sir with a $1000000000.00 if you that if you don't you know when you're not run through take you're doing it you're going to not only a true gentleman i hate to raise my voice but i do you say to me i why should i be

different than the 2 of you if we allowed both people to be with fewer interruptions i am appealing to you sir to do that and him too well frankly you've been doing more interrupting that sort of but he does plenty well less than 30 less isn't plenty now less than you out. my sweater she joins me from our washington bureau my i mean it will wear you out just watching these clips over and over again as we have to do here with our job what do we know tonight about these planned changes in the next 2 presidential debates. well brad i actually have a little bit of news for years so moments ago i was on a call with the trump campaign where they allege that they were themselves out of call with the biden campaign earlier today and the biden campaign put forward the 4 following stipulations and they'll look at my notes to make sure i get this right they want opening and closing statements which was not a part of the 1st debate they want direct questions from the moderator to both of

the candidates the same questions of golf they want to limit open discussion to just 11 minutes which has far less than was present at the 1st of 8 and then the issue of the mute button came out now i should note that at the beginning of this call the trump campaign officials went out of their way to go down the list of people who were members of who are members of the commission on presidential debates and talk about all of the money that these people have donated to democratic presidential and senatorial candidates in the past things that they've said about the trump campaign and about trump that could be perceived as negative one of them and i'm quoting now one of them described people on the commission as quote permanent swamp monsters so you can see where they're coming from now i reached out to the biden campaign and to the commission and neither of them have responded to me yet to confirm that these are the possible new for all so good so the good bit is that's brand new news right there that you're telling us we have to

remind our viewers that the rules so these debates they are agreed upon by both candidates so what we saw on tuesday therefore those rules don't trump himself had said yes to correct that as the moderator himself pointed out yes he had agreed to that and his campaign had agreed to that beforehand what about the moderator would have made chris wallace's job easier would a different moderator maybe have handled the situation better. well chris wallace himself has spoken to the new york times and said that well yes he does feel like he missed an opportunity but that he didn't anticipate that trump would flout the rules so enthusiastically which if you think about it that's the president's style that's his brand that's what his supporters really like about him is that you can't put him at a box he will break out of whatever box you try to put him and in terms of the mute

button there is some precedent for this so back in the 1980 s. in a california gubernatorial debate you may remember a little person named ronald reagan he was in a debate and the moderator tried to mute his mike what ended up happening is that reagan started shouting over the mike and it didn't end well and now you and i have watched a lot of trump content in our times and i'm sure many of our viewers have as well the man knows how to shout and if you mute his mike it's likely that that will happen also that this would play very much into his narrative of the media silencing him you literally have a member of the media pressing pause on his mike and not letting him speak it would just bolster his support among his supporters might a bit about 20 seconds we've got a debate next week the vice presidential debate. would you say it's safe to say that it will probably be somewhat more restrained and civil. everyone certainly hoping so the biden campaign has said that biden will be there

no matter what the trump campaign is pushing very hard to make sure that there are no changes as part of this call you know we will see what happens there but excellent reporting there might have swayed or the story for us with the latest there on who's playing the changes to the u.s. presidential debates michael thank you. well the day is almost done the conversation it continues online you'll find us on twitter either at u.w. news or you can follow me at brant goff t.v. and remember whatever happens between now and then tomorrow is another day we'll see they never got.
