3:45 pm
democrats also pushed for changes in the digital and pharmaceutical sectors. as well as for improved environmental protections. the agreement on tuesday clears the way for the deal to be voted through by lawmakers in all three countries. before it finally becomes role. well confusion about a number of trade issues have contributed to a fairly soft session on the global markets with our u. s. stocks hovering close to the flat line going abobove and- below- they did turn down by the closing bell. the wall strtreet journal has beeeen reporting that the trump administration is prprepared to delay a fresh roud of tariffs on chinese goodsds it is set to take effect on december fifteenth. if the two sides don't reach a deal before then at talks between negogotiators from washingngtond beijing c continue. meanwhile te us labor department said prodoductivity had decreased point 2% in the third quarter that's the biggest drop since twenty fifteen. earlier we saw
3:46 pm
a mixed close for the major european indices adjust the khaki haunted managing a positive finish there. that we saw the forty one hundred losing about a third nearly a third of a percentage point- as new data. confirmed at the british economy has stalled in october it wasn't a surprise about the data from the office for national statistics confirming. that gdp growth was zero in october that's the second consecutive month of no growth and it's another gloomy figure tom expected but certainly not good news and if thursday's a- roll a action. and ofof course the break thatt deadline at which is s currently set at jajanuary t thirty firstk video business and it's a thank you very much. okay it's time now for media watching for that i'm joined it in the seizure of bio james cretan and james of course that the main story here in france is the on going. a public sector strike which has crippled the country for a sixth day this tuesday that's right so as you can expect on social media people are tracking their- journey are. locked they're all- and so you
3:47 pm
have because they have to thank the song but which thehe treaty is fat strike of the fifth of december some of people. sharing images all of at what was at that pretty difficult journey to work if you were lucky enough to be anywhere near a line that was actually functioning- so this is that what. i didn't experience today locally. at lolooking. because others were walking. a kate movie was walking today- my head every so there's forty five minute walk yeah that's right so she was in ten minutes. well. at least you know daily exercise a taken care of but i certainly as you know it's difficult for all the people who don't even of the option maybe even. it would take even longer than two hours to get to work so. a lot of people have been braving the sort of scenes and let's just say it's been. at someone's on pleasant. others joking about is online i present you public transportation in paris at nothing- a pair shoes at so at of course people have been writing into the country's well not necessarily keeping their finger on the pulse of what's
3:48 pm
happening in france and then we have- with the situation at airports are. it a point not at others talking about- these are just returning there so obviously more of an outside perspective on what's going on here but people here kind of facing us. today's mood as i woke up to the leasing out across the street singing the messiah is and barricading the entrance to the school because of course it's not just public transport workers it's education workers it's- it's lawyers it's- it's across. three maybe not quite possible but it's a lot of different professions represented. and there were some scenes all of tension as well at it during various- moments- a. i. and one person saying mainstream media will never show you this video. i think we probably come to me through media and i think action on the media a with which is showing whahat was happening in the s streets whether. i mean actually one of the criticism of the media is that they tend to focus on- moments of tension in protests but today you had really again very broad representation of unions also some people think that they were. extinction rebellion or judicial or whatever so it's a
3:49 pm
massivive gathering all of. protesters and apparently they were there with the reserve police. drone that was it satt upon by by eight singles begin- at that thought back on a lot of a lot of attention as well at a certain point. and recent criticism as well of heavy. sort. it is also saying that emmanuel michael might need his own pension very soon if things don't go. his way. this is an article by adam does it hurt for the new york times the kind of certain amount of. traction aligned with france. in opera over pensions michael may need one early now he's being a bit tongue in cheek here but what he's saying is. this is sort of making a break for the french president. it's going to be a game of chicken a game of. tug of war a- arm wrestling whatever you wanna call it but- it's a battle of wills over the
3:50 pm
course of a number of weeks. and if the french president- it doesn't come out on top of that if he has to cede to the pressure of. the beatles the unions against pension reform. it could it could really be very of negative thing for the- remainder of his presidency. i present my call france promises country revololution in a campaign from manifesto. of it not name at this is said that the new york times summary of the article. he citizens for not have a revolution their own in mind. now another quote from the article is by. jeff gruenberg was difficult scientist at seals both this is been. at put up on twitter by some people who have been reading that article in selecting a little bit out of it. and really what they're saying is at i don't you paid was president. prime minister nineteen ninety five his critical critical. when interest it's about time. calls himm to pull bacack and picked t comparisons being made. with amanda nichols at. a gamble now if you like. and also the fact that at. an unemployment rates are high at the economy is not doing very well so to touch pensions and retirement age. in
3:51 pm
the particular climate. when menu michael already- is not necessarily supported by- that that a broad section of the population. but more his. narrow base. is quite a risky strategy. so i thought that what they're putting in a remembers well the- man behind. and over seating at the pension formed a joint board. did of what has been dealing with. a server miners kinds of his own where. it is it is it is it. is it emerge the heightened declared in his- transparency- decoration to the french government that he was actually sitting on the board. of an insurance company procedures and some very coach. i when you're trying to sort of a- make those at. at reforms to that too at retirement- which of obviously been turned in. in industry at has interests in not. so. he he has been. and. today i can still down front from the board of another think tank which- i paid him five thousand dollars a month so this in attempts to i think. we can still handle our thought process- a anyway there is all n
3:52 pm
posters- it on the streets of concert at the- at what were they saying he he's a beep. basically he's been mocked for an and being casast as the fried of the- friend of the insurance industry which is obviously. very simplistic but that's the way these things get cast.t. ths is an image from notes where- in the midst of prototests ther. was one piece of. and wild do not dispersant with keep the thing going so. anywayy of images like that not that the first of many people actually in that particular street scene. was added this is what you see on social media today thomas lots of- illustrations of- people supporting the purpose is still supported by 60% different public for now. okay and finally jamames i'm gonna grab all my a. for him. to be in a- a pay for paper shuffling fail at the end of the tv news bulletin that happens. but i tv in the u. k. that's right the slip this kind of went off on twitter today at. check it out for yourself- thomas i i'm i'm i'm- p pretty sure any of us couldld do bette. when. i actually i'm i'm gononna
