american companies do benefit from trade so he's aggressive stance has perhaps moderated to some extent he still doesn't think is that america is being treated as fairly as other countries are by trade and still wants to sort of tweak to make changes around the edges but ripping up and completely doing away with free trade agreements he seems to be pulling back from that that as well as you mentioned he has done that on the t t p p's made noises about nafta what has his protectionism stance is so far meant for the rest of the world i think there is somewhat nervous of nervousness because of course the us is the biggest global economy having access to that says important for many many countries i mean for example mexico trade flows with america equate to nearly forty five percent of mexican g.d.p. so if there's any blockages to that that's going to be hugely significant for the likes of the mexican economy so i think what we're seeing is a greater recognition that perhaps deals that were negotiated twenty thirty years ago perhaps do need to be rewritten to a certain extent and concession

he is not for helping veterans to the extent they need. he is not for helping pensioneers to the extent they need. we democrats stand for both, helping the military and helping these folks here. over the weekend i was in white plains, mr. president. that's a suburb of new york city. i stood with a mother who lost her son to an opioid overdose. a mother should never have to bury her son, especially stephanie keegan whose son daniel was a veteran, served our country bravely in afghanistan, did really well in school but had a duty to country, was in the intelligence unit for awhile , he was so brilliant. he came home, as some do, nerves shattered by war struggling with a severe case of ptsd. stephanie told me her brilliant, beautiful son daniel -- i saw her picture, an all-american boy if there ever was one -- her son daniel waited 16 months for treatment by the v.a., and died two weeks before his first appointment. there are so many things that can be done to change this situation, mrs. keegan said. she's right. we can make a real investment

there was even i think to some extent something of a coalition around president rouhani. he was elected not just because he was a good campaigner, not just because he managed to as a long-time relative conservative co-op reformists slogans and appeal to people who had been disaffected in twine but he also benefited from kind of elite maneuvering in which mohamed khatami almost that point persona non grata in 2009, leader, figurehead for the reform movement came together with a number of more centrist conservatives to kind of manage the machinations around the election in a way that would benefit rouhani. it was actually some consolidation within the establishment that led to the rouhani victory and that came only for years after the most serious uprising and the most serious splintering that we have seen in many years so, you know, there is a, i think these developments call into question how the elite relate to one another. as maziar said, the fact that you have reformists who are, if anything, as alienated and as dumfounded by what is happening on the streets as the har

well i think you've probably got to take the camera back to some extent and look at what's happened in the industry overall and then within it what's happened within the middle east and i think the first thing that's interesting is if you actually look at the end of last year after was looking at about five percent or so traffic growth for the year in fact it's turned out to be more than fifty percent higher than that or at certain a bit percent so overall the global industry has really done pretty well and profits of maintained the same kind of level that they had in twenty sixteen so you know overall in st feeling good about itself however what happened in the middle east and there's been a succession of issues that started with the u.s. administration introducing certain visa rules followed by laptop bands and so on all of which impacted potential demand on an important network for gulf carriers in particular but what's happened is that there's pretty much been a hand brake stall on the kind of levels of growth that you've seen from twenty to twenty sixteen which are around ten to f

they do it outside without the pressure of trying to push those policies forward so to a certain extent you can certainly say that there is a very big divide a divide that is clearly present here in bonds if it would be a great irony if uncle americal who has led germany for so many years would lose power due to an intra party vote that isn't even her party what is really at stake for uncle americal today. but that is certainly rather quick approach there doesn't mean that if they vote here against the know the grand coalition angela merkel would lose power she would still have other options she was still have options she actually doesn't favor of the minority government and there would also be a possibility of fresh elections there is obviously a big question what will happen in those fresh elections but the vote here does not necessarily mean the end for angela merkel a long path ahead even the focus here even if the delegates here story decide against that new coalition for anglo-american we can say that for sure it is a very big and a very difficult day indeed. thomas let's look bri

to what extent was the announcement of us ta riffs extent was the announcement of us tariffs on steele of these goods? where do you source a lot of your steel for the wind turbines that you guys provide? most of them are produced in the united states, and we have using established companies. it is a protection for the american solar panel industry. we have bought some from america in the past. from your perspective, and you deal with governments all over the world, what is the biggest obstacle to significant progress in this area? always our investment is long—term. we are investing for 40—60 years. we need stable regulation, predictable and maintaining the rules. when countries change the rules, introducing an intervention, automatically opposes a risk, and the flow of investment diminish. we require predictability and a legal framework that will be respected. thank you so much for being on the programme. back to you. james is back. we will look at our story in the ft talking about why people are quitting these. a p pa re ntly people are quitting these. apparently we are so addicted

opposed to what they say and you know i think that that's the case in germany itself and to some extent it's the case in other countries as well so we have a problem of understanding why this style conflicts so much with people's expectations but we're going have to come to grips with it because the president of the united states and going anywhere soon. let me bring you to german politics for a moment it has never taken this long to hammer out a new government here in germany i mean you and i we spoke in september during the election here it is now in january we still don't have a new government is that a bad omen of things to come doesn't mean anything but i think it's basically a limbo type situation i mean europe is in the middle of a lot of problems brags it is absolutely the poster child but there's a lot of others and difficult forces pulling at the fabric of europe and you know germany was always seen as the kind of picture of stability and given the fact that this is not just in germany where this instability is is being seen it's under. settling for many people who want to kno

quickly, within 24 hours of the very first protest, whatever sparked that first one, to whatever extent it may have been orchestrated as an attempt to undermine president trump rouhani and his economic reform agenda, whatever sparked it, it then morphed almost immediately into places around the country, 24 cities, i think, on day two, and then continued to mushroom and also quickly move from slogans that were focused on economic grievances to what, i think, can only be seen as radical and very deeply alienated slogans about the government. and then, we didn't -- that happened progressively over 2009, he was there and can speak to it from a firsthand perspective. it took some time and there was, in fact, quite a degree of disagreement among those who were organizing and leading the movement in 2009 about to what extent this should be about asking the government to respect its own rules, to adhere to the constitution or to what extent it was now time to articulate anti-systemic, anti-islamic republic messages. >> and that's quickly become a very anti-government, broad-based, kind of -- th

it into the long grass to a certain extent, and maybejobs will it into the long grass to a certain extentt to see there would be some effect on the company because the banks will want some sort of change. if the company files we re sort of change. if the company files were administration as early as monday morning, i can't see howjobs would not be lost. simply because karelian owes a lot of money to small subcontractors, down to individual plumbers and joiners and carpenters. the payment terms is four months, 120 days. if they haven't been paid for a contract in four months, the administrator says, i'm sorry, all bets are off. that will cost hundreds if not thousands ofjobs among will cost hundreds if not thousands of jobs among subcontractors. thank you. the african union has demanded an apology from president trump after he reportedly used a crude term to describe nations on the continent. it was apparently made during an oval office meeting on immigration with members of congress. the union, which represents 55 african countries, expressed its "shock, dismay and outrage" and said the t

and to some extent so that it would provide the judiciary with the opportunity to strike down certain laws these provisions so having that mandatory language was necessary and appropriate to work its way into future state bill of rights in the 19th century. so judicial enforcement helps to support. but when initially he said it was unnecessary or dangerous because the constitution itself was a bill of rights. and dangerous because they can assume it wasn't protected why did he change his mind? and why he decided to oppose the bill of rights? >> as you will hear part of madison's rule was a politician and what he saw in the debate is there was considerable disquiet it lacked a bill of rights. so to be practical much of the time he changed his mind because he felt the introduction of a bill of rights would help to prevent the calling of another constitutional convention. they were concerned if another constitutional convention was called it would be a disaster because it was so difficult to put together the compromises from the first. there were two states that refused to ratify and whe

to it extent did it matter then? >> i think you're right to express what i sense that in robert kennedy's involvement in the campaign, in the second time around and 56 and schlesinger finds him a slightly odd cold fish in many ways and i think that the sense in which particularly an utterly period robert kennedy is both volcanic and distant at the same time and schlesinger doesn't really quite know what to make of him. there is a sense of pragmatism in the relationship. he is the president's brother. marion kennedy who as many of you know sadly died-- although spectacularly great age, wonderful character, she was not enamored of robert kennedy and when she accompanied robert kennedy with arthur to berlin and italy was not impressed with his behavior, but as you say it's really after the white house that the relationship blossoms and becomes important, so there's a pregnancy-- pragmatism to it that later turned into something much closer. >> to what extent is a thousand days in your estimation as a historian a history

there are other ways which will see republicans hopefully exercising leadership to the extent they're not ready to engage they encourage you to find that reserve. that means having the conversations with grassley in the later to say don't make me vote on someone like this that's how some of these nominees wind up falling away. that's important as well. while every nominee we defeat on the basis of lack of qualifications is important, it's going to be extremely important for the health of this nation to have these bold acts of courage and clear statements that there is a level of integrity that needs to be in place. i hope will start to see those public affirmations of what it is judicial nominees should represent. >> to talk about the important role the public place. i appreciate that were talking about this issue because i don't think there's been enough attention focused on the crisis underway when it comes to the nominees. people need to pay attention to who are the lawyers in their respective states being put forth for these nominations. that they bring question to bear on their s

it also deals with details the extent to which saudi arabia and iran have intervened in the conflict the assessment presented to the security council is sharply critical of sided coalition airstrikes which of course the majority of civilian deaths in the war the findings also bolster accusations by the u.s. that iranian weapons have been supplied to who the rebels breaking a u.n. embargo the report further accuses the united arab emirates of running torture camps in yemen where people have been beaten and electrocuted the panel paints a devastating picture of a conflict that's killed more than ten thousand people and led to widespread famine and displacement well after there was diplomatic editor james bays has more from the u.n. in new york. this is a report to the u.n. security council has not been made public it's only been given to the fifteen members of the security council but i've been allowed to read a copy and it's very hard hitting and very critical of all of the parties in the war in yemen it questions whether yemen can continue to be one country it says in the south becau

michael: yes, to an extent.redit can do well, reasonably well, even if rates rise. 3% 10-year goes to 2.55, throughout the course of the year, there is room for spread compression. quicker acceleration of that, it starts to damage fixed income and spread sectors. jonathan: i had this conversation with blackrock earlier in the week, i asked, are you do you risking? they say it is right at the bottom of equity, not credit. our ud risking, and is there a difference between that and saying the optimal place is not in credit and high-yield, but right at the bottom in equity? ing and that issk the byproduct of valuations. as they look less attractive, it makes sense that ud risk your portfolio. that means selectively selling high-yield, keeping our best bets on, keeping our emergency market positions. jonathan: anything in high-yield and you are selling off and you can tell us about. the lowerome of quality. we are taking gains in the triple c's, single bees, concentrating more in the double bees. we think there is an

it is important to get it right for the u.k., and to some extent europe. david: how do these trade issues affect coca-cola's business? james: we are global, but extremely local. we manufacture in virtually every country we sell in. everything sold in the u.s. is made in the u.s., everything sold in the u.k. or france is in that individual country, so the global trade restrictions don't tend to affect this heavily in the moment. to the extent they reduce or increase total economic growth, that is what matters to us. we are pro-global free trade because it drives economic growth, so let's make those feels better, because it will provide the wealth to then solve a lot of societies problems. david: you came in and took over coca-cola and trumpeted innovation to your future. you have a chief information officer, but you are the chief innovation officer to some sense. how do you innovate in a 130-year-old company with such an entrenched perception of people's views. james: it is hard. any institution that has been around for a long time, it will be hard. from my

there is even, to some extent a coalescence around president ronnie, he was elected not just because he was a good campaigner, not just because he managed to co-op reform in the fields people who had been disaffected in 2009, but he also benefited from some kind of elite maneuvering in which he was a leader and figurehead for the reform movement and came together with a number of more centrist conservatives to manage the election in a way, it was some consolidation in that came only four years after the serious uprising. these the call into question how they relate to one another. they are not rushing to the barricade, they are not endorsing what's happening. in part because some of the slogans are explicitly targeting them saying we don't want any of you, throw all the bums out. we will have some impact but i'm not sure fracturing the elite will be the answer. >> i think one of the clearest similarities are the resources to security and military and that is what led to the demise of the soviet union because every resource was allocated to a resource. after a series of protest, i thi

that may occur to some extent. certainly, some people learned how to use the coverage, both to promote themselves and to use more liberalized rules to enforce full on controversial issues for political reasons rather than substantive legislative reasons. we talk about those as unintended consequences of reform. i also think it is important to note there is a bit of a revisionism which looks back and says we are able to do things when everyone was in broadcast and publicized. the example that is often use is the civil rights act of 1964, where a lot of republicans, moderates, and liberals were voting for key legislation in voting for key legislation in subcommittees and in committees. votes that would have been difficult for them to have cast if their votes were recorded and if the debates were being televised. people say, if that happens today those types of agreements could not take place and the nature of the legislative process would change. as with virtually everything you do, i have found in congress and maybe

to the extent that it occurs this is a higher level of gdp , forever.ou are worried about inflation risks and so on, first of all, you have a tendency to nip that process in the bud. and we are being very careful mark: -- doat you that. mark: they are concerned. they write i am concerned about sudden movements that don't reflect changes in fundamentals, look at fundamentals, inflation is declined slightly in december. he is one of several officials that say a stronger euro may help efforts to get inflation to the goal of just shy of 2%. the concern is that it is rising to fast, it could happen in the future, if we carry on these places, inflation doesn't show much signs of underlying strength in particular. there will be increased concerns on the dovish wing of the governing council who are already nervous about unwinding serious potentially too fast. shery: bad news for bitcoin, falling as much as 20% today, that is the crypto crackdowns. this is a broader january sell up with a digital asset down over 35% this month. why is bitcoin going down again? i

it's an open question the extent to which this reflects something more fun to. whether this represents a short term. now i know you've been long the influence of politics on the economy but i think what you can in the united states politics gets to be substituted for security and there are a lot of security concerns passing for. politico or the other way around political concerns passing for security concerns and when when it comes to global trade regulations there are exceptions for security concerns don't you think that this claw clause of security is running a risk of being abused that the country's president security considerations as a way to get competitive advantage well there's no doubt that individual industries who push whatever they can push to try and get whatever special favors they think they're they want if i were to worry about protectionism in the united states i would worry first and foremost about the those who are say always the jobs that are at stake whether they are or not. but a company is not going to say gee we're losing body we want to

but over the means of trade and we haven't seen that comp kind of competition before just such an extent you can. essentially take the entire country out of the global system by just pushing the button and bad potentiality is very scary and many people i know you're not in favor of sanctions in general but i think also it creates a very interesting way of how effectively those sanctions can be implemented and my question to you is that we have the baton a good system that was designed to address some of those issues to ensure. discriminatory treatment and such do you think that system of base day and age is capable of addressing the issues that we're talking the u.n. the world bank the everything internationally is sort of subject to the what the political will of the owners of the system or in the owners of this is true of the nations of the world and in so far as they they fight it in their interest to agree on something i think they could do it whether they will be able to do it whether their political masters will want them to do it is is the important question i think by the way i d

of course under the british constitution parliament can do anything that one so to the extent there was a statute that said things can or cannot be done that is framed to what a future parliament can do you say we shouldn't do this while recognizing you can't do something because your parliament is supreme. so they copied that model by saying you ought not to do things that is not the same as shall not that is try not to but you can if you want shall not is you can't do what makes this distinctive using the mandatory word shall repeatedly to describe what is prohibited because by the time those amendments were introduced so to some extent they came around and said it would provide the judiciary with the opportunity to strike down certain laws that violated the provisions having that was necessary and appropriate that worked its way. >> so judicial enforcement helped to support its adoption. so changing his mind while the bill of rights were necessary and to abridge free speech if you wrote down certain right with the role of the anti- federalist and why he opposed the bill of rights. >>

reasons we don't want a secret snowden that kind of stuff and they're overdone of course to some extent in some cases but i don't think so far at least i'm unaware of anybody who saw that that was anywhere nearly as important as the job well i haven't given you one example my own channel has been r.t. has been sanctioned because of its supposed that interference in the american political process and what's interesting about it i know you don't want to discuss politics but i think it has an interesting economic implication because if you limit the way those companies twitter facebook those big multinational multi-trillion dollar companies operate not only in russia but around the world and if they're seen as pliable to political interest american political interest whatever they are republican or democrat. i suspect that that may influence the way the global economy shaping out because it's changing at this very moment don't you think so i certainly agree that there's a risk in that direction i certainly think the degree to which those things have been called upon is already very risky i

we do not know the extent. >> we don't see gushing water in this picture, we hope they made some progress. >> they could be the case. we are just getting this information in we are getting more information for you and will bring you an update when we can. >>> welcome back to mornings on 2. it's tuesday, january 16. i'm dave clark. >> i'm pam cook. thank you for watching up with us. i'm not sure if you are waking up to any drizzle or rain. >> there's not much left. we do have a travel alert.

vonnie: to a larger extent, this was a gift to citigroup.son: i think the key thing is with regard to the charge and capital return, they made this clear in early december, we will have a huge charge, but it will not stop us from that $60 billion return, which is the plan over three years so they did make that announcement before we got the final bill . with the final bill, this was related to repatriation but i think the key thing that we learned today or the one thing that is that better than -- month thing that is better than expected results in the card unit. we do get a little better than expected so credit coming in line with expectations and growth, pretty strong. jonathan: bank earnings may cashme up earnings, they --k earnings, they continue bank earnings, they continue to roll out this one, bank of america reports bond and equity trading that beat analysts but goldman sachs saw its worst bond trading in a decade. this is down a massive 50%. what happened? alison: keep in mind that they had a very strong year. third quarter stronger

still gathering details but again nine people taken to the hospital at this point no word on the extent of their injuries but we will keep you updated as morning progresses as soon as information comes into the news room. >>> in other news a college student from south jersey is in very hot water over her racist rant on social media. >> videos were posted over doctor martin luther king holiday and quickly went viral

to the extent it creates more demand, that will be good news.e are still working through the numbers we will lay out on our own. part of it is having money overseas, but if we generate more economic growth, that will lift all boats. david: does the expensing help you at all? we will lay that out, but that is not the biggest moving piece. david: have you decided the cash goes into capital investment, buybacks of shares, dividends? james: we were not short of cash at the end of the day. we have been a successful company. we have the resources we need to invest. we are working how the puts and takes work. we are looking at how we use all that and make capital allocations. david: one of the big issues for the united states are the so-called dreamers, the young people brought here as children. the question is do they get to stay as adults, essentially. do you have people at coca-cola who are uncertain they will stay or not? there are about 700,000 nationwide. james: we have some people in our company and partners who fall under the dreamers or daca p

maybe to some extent.u look at the past two or three years, going into every year, most investors could contract a bearish story on credit. it was always around valuations. i think you have to put about -- put evaluations in the context of fundamentals, and fundamentals are very supportive. no question. like i said earlier with tax reform, they are about to get even better. valuations should be compressed, spreads should be tight. it is not a table pounding opportunity but we are finding opportunities. jonathan: is your view predicated on a treasury market that behaves itself? michael: yes, to an extent. i think credit can do well, reasonably well, even if rates rise. if the 10-year goes to 2.55, 3% throughout the course of the year, there is room for spread compression. if we see a quicker acceleration of that, it starts to damage fixed income and spread sectors. jonathan: i had this conversation with blackrock earlier in the week, i asked, are you derisking? they say it is right at the bottom of equity,

so to the extent we have the theater of this. now, again senator grassley has structured these hearings in hawaii to prevent that from happening as much as possible by stacking multiple court of appeals on here ings and having three sessions in a day and all those things. but to the extent we have strong voices, smart, committed people in the senate, and then advocates out in the felt field making sure those messages are amplified, i do think that we'll hopefully see some of the worst of the worst being pulled back. for example, two of the nominees that we identified for having, again, terrible anti-lbgt records in addition to other things, damien schiff and schwartz, their names did not appear on the list. as we know with health care, this is zombie apocalypse administration, nothing is truly done, but to the extent you start to see some of the nominees not renominated or moved to the back of the cue or pushed in a meaningful way. that may well be assign there is a recognition that losing on this is not worth the political cost.

so to a certain extent, they're like ducks. every day is a new day. to a certain extent, he knew what he wanted to do and kind of a question working it out. and the communications office is much better now. sarah huckabee sanders is loyal to him and hope hicks. a lot of people trying to serve themselves and -- always attendana tendency to tell the press i'm so smart and i'm the power behind the throne. the bottom line is you're there to help the person that won every day to move forward. >> neil: why can't he then leave surrogates or people say look at the markets, look at everything else. maybe that is somebody that the president will remind people to do. >> he needs to do. the truth of the matter, every member of the cabinet, there ought to be a theme of the week -- here he comes. let him carry his own speech. >> neil: indeed. you'd be a wonderful anchor if you wanted to take the step back there. >> i just want to be with you. >> neil: there we go. the president in nashville today. >> you people know real estate. they have rooms all over this beauti

so to the extent that that we have the extent of the theater of it, senator grassley has structured it in a way to prevent it from happening as much as possible. and so, having three sessions in a day, and having all of the things in a day, and to the extent that we have strong voices, and smart committed people in the senate and advocates out in the field, and making sure that the messages are amplified, and making sure that we will hopefully see the work being pulled back and for example two of the nominees that we have identified and terrible ant anti-lgbt issue, and as we know that in health care, this is a zombie apocalypse situation, and so that we are not sitting on our laurels, and we are not seeing the nominees nominated or pushed back in a meaningful way. and there is a sign that this recognition is going to be not losing this. and with doug jones losing the ratio is 51-49 and extremely thin margin there. and which republicans are you looking at now, and if not just one in particular, and so the key republican who may be be on the judicial nomination, and may be reasonable or

he was -- the extent to which he was disabled -- he hid the extent to which he was disabled. there are no surviving photographs of him during the presidency demonstrating his prowess, his immobility -- demonstrate his paralysis, his impossibility. they did that on purpose because what he understood is when he came to the presidency, people knew that he had had polio. ... him recovery through this depression. understood that there was this psychological connection that if you voted for him, he got the nomination in 1932, broke tradition by getting on a plane and flew to chicago. and turned back, and went forward. we landed in chicago and tried to demonstrate to the public don't do that. i could take this plane trip and did those arduous journeys during the war, to casablanca, and he was already a dying man but the only parts that made reference to this was a speech he gave when he came back, he said to congress, he said maybe you will forgive me for sitting down but i just got back from -- i carry a seal around each one. the disability that you see -- >> do you think it is pos
