he told at the dinner how he told abe he could come visit him any time. and he took it seriously, showed up in the united states. he said what am i supposed to do, say go home? he said they had a rocky start to the relationship but became splendid friends. >> annie, the most important person not named trump. >> i'm going with the guy you maybe haven't heard of, doug jones. he is running against roy moore. he supports transgender rights. >> abortion rights absolutist. >> yeah. he's pro-choice. a and he is also pulling 10 points ahead of the republican. >> is he worried about the hashtag write-in movement? that got started this weekend. >> he probably -- he should be. i was down in alabama this week. they are running a stealth campaign. can they run down the clock for the next four weeks. >> write in nick saban. >> the most important person not named donald trump? >> former virginia governor bob muck donald whose successful appeal of his corruption conviction is still reverberating throughout national politics, most recently in the mistrial of senator bob m

trump and shinzo abe have formal talks.s of difference have been around the tpp, the tra ns—pacific partnership. difference have been around the tpp, the trans—pacific partnership. iraq 0bama set it up, donald trump pulled the us out and japan is tragic at the us out and japan is tragic at the remaining 11 countries to get the remaining 11 countries to get the tdp alive. —— barack 0bama. in the tdp alive. —— barack 0bama. in the hope that the us mightjoin again. there needs to be a bilateral trade deal between the us and japan and the japanese government doesn't agree. he wants more of a multilateral solution to the region. they will have a major difference on this point when they meet in tokyo this point when they meet in tokyo this afternoon. apart from prime minister shinzo abe, who else will president trump be meeting with? he has tried to make the big pitch to the business sector already at this is the problem. some are here would say, are these just going to be talks? talks about talks. unless there is some movement o

there, waiting to welcome him, prime minister shinzo abe.sident trump lavished praise on him and japan, calling it a treasured partner and crucial ally. on monday, the us president will fulfil another long—held ambition — an official welcome from japan‘s emperor. rupert wingfield hayes, bbc news, in tokyo. and you can get much more on donald trump‘s extensive asia visit. just visit the bbc website — bbc.com/news, or download the bbc news app. let‘s take a look at some of the other stories making the news. state media in saudi arabia say a prince and several other high—ranking officials have been killed in a helicopter crash near the town of abha close to the country‘s border with yemen. prince mansour bin muqrin was a deputy governor, son of the former crown prince of saudi arabia, muqrin al—saud. it‘s not yet known why the aircraft crashed. the sacked catalan leader, carles puigdemont, and four of his former ministers have been freed with conditions by a judge in belgium. it‘s in connection with a european arrest warrant issued by spain. th

just hours ago prime minister shinzo abe and more restained president trump spoke about the region. dealing with a lot domestically and abroad. north korea. take a listen. >> the era of strategic patience is over. some people said that my rhetoric is very strong. but look what's happened with very weak rhetoric over the last 25 years, look where we are right now. as far as the north korean people are concerned, steve, think these are great people. they're under a very repressive regime, and i really think that ultimately i can tell you this, i hope it all works out. be better for everybody. certainly would be better for north korea but would be better for everybody. >> abe also said after trying for more than 20 years quote, there is no point in dialogue for the sake of dialogue with north korea. president trump asked what he thinks should if launch more missiles over their country. >> if i can take a piece of the prime minister's answer, he'll shoot them out of the sky when he completes the purchase of additional military equipment from the united states, he will easily shoot them

abe comes. he used a tremendous amount of political capital trying to get the tpp through the diet. because it involved a lot of agricultural reforms. and in japan, just like here and many countries, agriculture punches way above its way politically. so that's the reason he's so locked into tpp. at the apec conference, he and the other ten announced that they had agreed to agree. whatever that means. on a new tpp without us. and they hoped to actually consummate it sometime in the early part of next year. we shall see. i think it's going to be tough for them to do that because the real bait for everybody was access to the big u.s. market. >> you don't think there's a chance the united states might enter, even to be able to renegotiate some of the terms, if they don't decide on a new deal themselves? >> well, i think once we see what the -- first of all, why do we favor bilateral versus multilateral? that's probably a good starting point. probably see with multilateral is first of all, it takes too long to do. tpp itself took something like ten years and never even came into being. n

-10 20i7b8 l ab-1008 into law we believe in second chances. the law is intended to give employers some rules of the road. if they have more than five employees rkz, for most industries, public jobs, not all, so not the bank robber situation, where they will not ask about prior criminal history up front in the application process. so what we're really talking about is not whether you can ask about someone's criminal history, but when. >> so michelle alexander wrote this fantastic book called "the new jim crow," which was all about how the felony system, marking people as a felon, was in effect the same as the old jim crow laws. do you think this could be transformative for racial diversity in companies? >> well, potentially. i mean, we have to remember, people of every ethnic group have been convicted of crimes. in fact, the majority of people who've been convicted of crimes are not a member of a minority group. but having said that, minorities are disproportionately represented for a variety of reasons in our criminal justice system. i don't t

so abe launched a full friendship offensive. first, he made their b.f.f.cial by speaking trump's native language-- hat! ( laughter ) it says, "donald and shinzo make alliance even greater." ( laughter ) yeah. that's perfect. we all know, historians know all the best diplomacy was accomplished via head gear. don't forget the great gear roosevelt gave out at yalta. ( laughter ) then the two best friends fed the coy fish at the royal palace. feeding the koi is a time honored tradition, much like the tea service, wherein the meditation of the movement is resonant with the shinto-- okay, suck on it, you fat fish. ( laughter ) ( applause ) there you go. there you go. pretty good. then abe really turned on the charm offensive, treating trump to a round of golf then reminding donald about it at that night's reception. >> when you play golf with someone not just once but for two times, the person must be your favorite guy. >> stephen: alright, shinzo, leave some of the "strokes" on the golf course. ( laughter ) >> jon: oh! clarence thomas. ( applause ) >> stephen:

he'll spend most of the day on sunday meeting with japanese leader shinzo abe. they're going to play golf together and have conversations about the relations. he'll also go to vietnam and n finish in the philippines. seeing if there can be some sort of cooperative agreement by these leaders who all have different influences in terms of that relationship to try and quell the tensions in that part of the world. perhaps the most important conversation being with the president of china. this is a very busy 12 days for the president. it's also the longest trip to the asia pacific region by any president since the george h. w. bush. >> let me bring in our reporter. we know the president will be peppered with questions as it relates to the investigation even while he's abroad. >> reporter: that's right. this week, carter page, a former foreign policy adviser to the trump campaign sat with lawmakers for six hours and gave private testimony. the transcript of that testimony will be made public early next week. but what we've learned so far is that carter page has told la
