everything which was so much fun you've been toiling in the trenches and on the top of these really key issues first tell us about nafta a clinton administration initiative north american free trade agreement set the stage for us what was the good the bad and the uglies of nafta the original nafta so george bush the first negotiate it and signed it then clinton inherited it worked very hard to pass it so is a bipartisan made in america model of trade and the sad thing is the critics are right at this point there are a million certified by the government now after job losses it's nationwide it's not just the rust belt one of the largest concentrations of lost jobs in el paso texas it's nationwide we've seen wages pushed down because nafta made it easier to outsource jobs to mexico's low wages and wages there are down because nafta had no labor standards so mexican wages are now forty percent lower than coastal china

manufacturing wages no kid crazy crazy and on top of all of that we've seen in those corporate tribunals and then crossed mexico by the way or is it just in what were the dora's everyplace real wages median real wages in mexico are down since nafta and manufacturing wages now are forty percent lower manufacturing across the country are forty percent lower real minimum wages are fourteen percent lower than they were in real terms before nafta it's bad it's really bad and then on top of that we've seen those corporate tribunals that evan was worried about the time now after passed and one who raised these investor state tribunals do we want multinational companies having all these extra rights and people said you're being paranoid don't worry well hundreds of millions of dollars have been paid out in these attacks where foreign corporations can support our courts and they can get unlimited taxpayer money for a to. acts in our domestic laws because they violate their nafta privileges toxic

spans energy policies water rules timber rules zone taxpayers end up footing the bill for these things right exactly and a top of forking over all this money to foreign corporations we see the law as weak and so the things our families rely on to be healthy and safe then your mind is a very slow already developed from those individual is very bad news it's been bad news so if we now fast forward to the last couple years and the president trump and what he's been trying to do on nafta first of all give me your take on what you think i mean you obviously thought that there could be some good done did you think he was going to do it and what do you think he's done so far so obviously nafta is ongoing damage has to be stopped we can't continue more jobs are being outsourced to mexico every week more of this corporate attacks are being filed so something had to be done and many a president has promised to renegotiate when trump announced he was i think

everyone would be to really skeptical it was going to do anything but get worse. but the guy he picked to be his trade representative is a guy named robert who we've all known for a very long time who is a guy who has despite being a very conservative republican been a longtime critic of this corporate tribunals and of the race to the bottom in wages and the nafta incentives to outsource jobs so the white house is there actually got to it and he has in the first really there's a text of this nafta two point zero he has tried to address some of those issues so what i would say is this ain't the transformative replacement of the entire corporate rigged trade agenda that got launched with now but in some respects it's better than the original now in some key respects it's worse and probably the most important thing which is making sure that the labor standards in the agreement which are bad. there are actually enforce they mean something that

is still a work in progress right now pretty good on paper not in forcible will not stop outsourcing of jobs so that companies can pay workers allow us to dump their toxins and bring the products here so right now the text as it is if it went to congress would be something you would want to support but there is an opportunity right now still because congress has to write the implementing bill to actually get the enforcement and when you talk about this you know that back in the day folks weren't so worried about these cases this is really is it the dispute settlement progress and what has changed in that to make it a little bit better. it is a little bit yeah absolutely so rigidly you know people wouldn't believe it because they couldn't imagine weight trade agreement has rules that foreign corporations skirt our courts ignore our laws raid our tax dollars because they claim

rights they haven't a trade agreement have been violated because they have to fall busy zoning rules or can't come toxins what you're crazy lady that can't be in there and now several hundred million dollars worth of oh yes it was in there as taxpayers have paid in those laws and gotten sacked later what's in the nafta two point zero which is real progress is that whole system with respect to canada is just whacked in three years what after the agreement goes into effect it just goes away which is great because that would mean ninety two percent of the entire exposure of the u.s. has right now under nafta for these corporate tax would just go away with respect to mexico the system is replaced with this with an approach that is at least has some of the key things progressives have demanded so some of the most outrageous corporate rights that have been the ones used by these tribunals to order payments on totally legitimate laws those have just been cut out. taxed and the only thing

it compensation for now is direct expression the government takes your house for roads doesn't give you money so that seems ok and then what's called post establishment discrimination which means if you're in there and then they pass a law to stick it to the foreigner then you can get a review of that but some of the really most obnoxious things about us are taken out like a nighest yes the investor or the foreign investor can go on i don't want to go to the court i want to follow the law so go to this tribunal why under this new system you must go to the domestic court and you must exhaust your remedies there or spend two and a half years trying before you can even go for the other view so there are some improvements it's a great summary and so remind laurie of why are so much loved learning from you and working with you let me get your take quickly we've just got a little bit of time when generally china trade those tensions too but i mean what do you make of it overall so i think that some of these issues again the trade

representative bob is absolutely barking up the right tree so trump identified where the public was which is people have had it democrats and republicans alike have all had the same trade policies have pretends it's not causing damage and haven't done anything to change it in decades and so it's not clear to me trump on his own could you know really do much about it white house is there this guy he picked the top trade official has some good ideas and so like just friends this is the most important on done piece of business with now but it's really the china situation in the end the u.s. worker cannot compete if there's a race to the bottom where people in another country are making in mexico a buck fifty an hour at the identical tire plant that workers in the u.s. and topeka kansas get twenty eight bucks an hour and same product for the same are the companies you cannot have that so if in the nafta renegotiation for instance the labor standards get in force and raised up if with the china negotiations were

able to stop the cheating where the combination of ridiculously low wages subsidies and products king dumped on us or stopped we could see improvements it's a work in progress. unbelievably great information thank you so much that's lori wallach the director of public citizens global trade like thank you for being here so great to see you. and updating a story we told you about last time that is now moving markets in brazil investors are reacting favorably to the strong first place showing by far right presidential candidate are balls to narrow in sunday's first round of elections mr balsam narrower now has an intangible aura of likely winner and has named investor darling paulo guede as who favors privatization pension cuts and budget austerity as an economic advisor across the board brazilian stock market index rose four point six percent on monday and the gains of continued in today's trading shares of the state

back keyser one more of my guy financial survival this is as. it's a device used by professional scallywags to earn money. that's right these has flaws are simply not accountable and we're just adding more and more to them. to stabilize the global economy you need to protect yourself and get informed. seemed wrong. just don't hold. any new belief yet to shape out these days to come to educate and engage with equals betrayal.

when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. welcome back a huge explosion occurred yesterday in st john new brunswick canada at the nation's largest refinery owned by irving oil ltd none of the fourteen hundred workers were injured in the big blast at a facility which produces three hundred twenty thousand barrels of oil each day most of the plant's production is exploited to the northwest united states futures prices for gasoline rose on the news by four percent yesterday and it remained at

the elevated levels in today's trading and other hydrocarbon and disaster related news an oil spill off the coast of the french island of corsica has taken place after a tunisian shipping freighter crashed into a cypress bestial which was anchored italian and french civil and military personnel are working to contain six hundred thousand tons of fuel which spilled into the mediterranean sea and an investigation related to maritime pollution is underway by french authorities. and in advance of this week's i.m.f. world bank g twenty meeting which we mentioned earlier the i.m.f. latest world economic outlook has revised global growth projections downward the i.m.f. now says they expect overall global activity to increase by three point seven percent down from a previous forecast of three point nine percent the report warns against what they designate as protectionist policies telling the u.k. guardian quote the world will be more poorer and more dangerous if current trends

continue taking a closer look at the i.m.f. revised growth forecast for agenda dated emerging economies also downward to four point seven percent after previous predictions were as high as five point one percent. one reaction to the report and its revised growth forecasts appear to include the fall in london's footsie one hundred twenty six month low. and we now turn to india's financial sector and take a look at banking and related non-bank lending system which some say use teetering on the edge of disaster for more years or to correspondent rachel rachel now in india some are concerned that the banking system is in trouble and could go south soon but others believe it may already be there now so it started with the announcement that india's national company law tribunal would be appointing a new board at infrastructure leasing and financial services ltd or i alan a fast after the group missed several debt repayment deadlines

a report from financial times noted that the group has accumulated more than twelve point six billion dollars in debt and that quote it's a major presence in india's emerging corporate debt market has sparked fears for the fast growing non-bank lenders that ever lived heavily on short term bond funding once the news broke shares in the companies listed entities rose by their daily limit on the mum by stock exchange the stocks of non-bank lenders also rose strongly with financing gaining seventeen percent out period of lost almost half of its value in just a week. has gained a reputation as one of india's the biggest corporate entities over the last three decades but it plans to create an investment boom in india's infrastructure by using a complex adept bold structure has now backfired and as a result investors who previously relied on india's state owned banks are now

selling both bonds and equities in fear of a collapse the shares prices of india bulls housing finance which is one of the country's a largest mortgage lender. has fallen by twenty two percent in the last month serving as a sign of a much broader decline in the indian stock market shares in the housing development of finance corporation have also fallen by ten percent in the last month ayana fast appeared to have a great credit ratings up until august of this year when groups and ditties began missing that repayment deadlines and because of the group's default accounts for a three percent indian corporate bond issuance sparked a wave of redemptions from debt focused mutual funds as a result news of the i alan s. s. default cause a drop in the level of confidence and festers have been india's ratings agencies

with many questioning whether there are more ties between the agencies and some of the country's largest financial group so at this point it remains to be seen what will occur but this issue is one that both the public and investors around the world will be watching closely bar. rachel that so interesting and we love covering india particularly these problematic issues that we see are merging we just want to make sure that everybody's eyes are on the ball and particularly with. us you talk about transparency and i'm just curious about the rating agencies and the lack of confidence that's taking place over there absolutely so that's created a lot of problems because before it was assumed that these rating a ratings agencies were trustworthy but now that this is happened we have i on f.x. that looked like it was an agency that had great ratings on the surface and i was actually surprised to learn that the government owns

a third of the shares in this company so that's what made it possible for it to look like everything was great but then once they started missing their payment deadlines and the public started figuring out that these ratings weren't actually accurate now they are really questioning the transparency of these agencies i want to check i want to question more on the relationship between the rating agencies and some of these banks and the non-bank lending institutions because that of course was a major problem in the u.s. back in two thousand and eight where they're just essentially bought and paid for the rating agency i'm not saying that's a case that india but we are going to question more one more question for you rachel what sort of the next thing we're looking at earnings report or is there some sort of shoe to drop in the future over there well now are really going to be looking because now that india's government has taken over and said it is going to replace the entire board at this group it could mean that that could happen to other financial institutions so it could be one of those things where this leads to

a new age of transparency among these major financial groups or it could mean that it could just result in a lot of government involvement so we'll see the impact that this has and india in the coming months former regulators to this board prince purdie. better markets are rich of weapons thanks for that report rachel here. and there is major news out of the u.k. they've made a revealing comparison between the u.k.'s recovery from the two thousand and eight financial crash in the united states recovering from the great depression of the one nine hundred thirty s. analyst at sky news compared the u.k.'s growth in the ten years since the great crash of two thousand and eight to the us ten years after the start of the great depression and found that the u.k.'s recovery was slower than that of the united states more precisely the u.k.'s economy is now ten point eight percent larger than

it was in two thousand and eight this compares to a higher figure of twelve point six percent u.s. growth in the ten years following the stock market crash of one nine hundred twenty nine the fabled firm sony the japanese multinational electronics media a multi-faceted company has been making progress in recent years after being in the driver's seat of innovation for decades what is sony's business history and partial demise and can the company not just crawl out of the hole they've been in but can they compete with the largest of the large companies out there today we look at and are joined by our friend c.e.o. of strong market hillary thank you so much for being here to be out on a pleasure so i remember these you know so many trinitron color t.v. and then the walkman in particular but my wife and i view we still have romance the notion of romantic times with those walkman and listen to it all that i don't yeah i know you were but you were born in the mid eighties but i love those things and

they really were they were the first time that you could have music that with portable brought with you you couldn't do it with the old it directly to the walkman was a big deal but where do we see this company going now their stock is certainly you know it was shooting up gangbusters then in the two thousand when some of their patents i guess ran out. the trinity tronics adric they had some some stalls trading now is fifty seven fifty eight books like something like that up twenty dollars year over year up ten dollars on the year but give us a little bit more detail about the fumbles that they've been having in recent years we're totally right bob i mean everybody talks about their walkman i mean you always know you've made it what actually seven now becomes an adjective i mean people are using it as a noun an adjective everything i want to so it was huge and in the eighty's they actually in the last decade lost about eight point eight billion and they had to let go of thirty five thousand employees so for japanese culture i mean that's just gosling i mean that doesn't really happen in japan so they were basically a failing company what's happened now is that you're she is the new c.e.o.

he's a c.f.o. an interesting trend actually a lot of global companies have the c f o's be coming the c.e.o.'s because it has to do with restructuring so he got rid of the via the personal computers that wasn't doing by well batteries chemicals everything that was sort of abstract he has consolidated restructured and now they're in the black for the first time in about a decade i remember i'm not sure how long ago it was two thousand and twelve thirteen somewhere in there that the consumer electronics portion of sony was making less money than the studios the not only the hollywood studio but the music and entertainment business yes that's that is that shifted now i would say that twenty three percent of their revenue comes from actually twenty three percent of the seventy five billion in revenue comes from play station and then sixteen billion comes from the movies and the entertainment the music part of that business yes and so these move i mean the movies have been great they've got spider-man and

equalizer equalizer to some i want to words to hustle america out of spider-man's been on the playstation and that actually i think was it like something like three days soledad. you know there are snakes on your. t.v. .
