and now the trump admistration is seeking public comment on at least changing the way it's enforced. an attorney who works with troubled borrowers says it is a start but not enough. t we are seeing the programs that can provide most benefits to lborrowers,e defense repayment, income driven repayment. public ln forgiveness programs, those programs are targeted for elimination. >> reporter: the administration s taken aim at student aid in its proposed budge slashing pell grants for low income students, ending federal work study programs. easing the bankruptcy restriction leaves even more students wit a stain on their finances just as they start their careers. and another risk, the more debt that's wiped out, the greater the cost to the taxpayers, which is why the regulations were put in place to begin with. scott cohn, san jose, california. >>> the dow yo-yos much of the day. finished down to 24797. the s&p 500 down 15. and the nasdaq as well, down 16. >> that' it for "nightly business report." i'm tyler mathisen. we hope you see you again tomorrow night. >> this is "bbc world news ame

>> certainly the policy of this admistration is very much t favor the private sector initiative and it'srobably 18 months since we've heard serious discussion of federal government regulation of drug prices. the truth is we're seeing eeange. we'reg manufacturers take small price increases, we' seeing more product launches that ku dercut the existing products in the category. those are encouraging signs and that's coming through the private sector. and the fda is acting as an agent and working to bring prices down. the market is applies a fair ount of discipline to drug manufacturers. if that trend continues what'ly prob 1% to 2% rate of growth could become flat to negative in the next couple of years. >> are these companiesoing this because they fear government regulation or they fear that the government will greenlight the ability of medicare to negotiate prices? >> there's a certain amount of not wanting torovoke the tiger in the actions of the industry, but with such a large and fragmented industry, there are always going to be individual companies that break ranks and takesi exc pric

i think playing the role that i did in this admistration at the beginning of it, you kind of dt a little bit of the bl over. no one has seen a president like this before, and therefore they had not in a press secretary -- not seen a press secretary like this before. i wasn't fully expecting it. part of why i waited a while and thought about this and longtime is i figured at some point i had to write aook and because toour point, katty, i grew up in this country, and there were things like "saturday night live" that are iconic. there are skits i remember from eddie murphy and dan aykroyd that i can recite by heart. and now to think that my kids are like, now you are them. [laughter] sean: exactly. it is a very weird evolution for somebody to go through that in such a short period of te. christian: well, you are a very good sport. katty: you were a very goo sport, thanks for joining us on the program. sean: you bet, and i look forward to getting over there. christian: come and see us. sean: i will. rajini: let's take a look at the day's other news. the u.s. state department says t it is de

delegation for talks with north korea during the clinton admistration. gentlemen, welcome tboth.nks for being here. mr. jannuzi, let me start with you. did vice president pce miss an opportunity by not engaging with the north korean, even just >> he did.es? his behavior was boorish and politically bone deaf. if president moon can sha hands, surely the vice president can do the simple courtes of not essentially showing up to the party and then sulking. >> yang: mr. ruggiero, brish and tone deaf in. >> i'm not sure i would go that far. i think we have to keep the focus here on rnorth ea and its nuclear weapons and missile program. they have no interest in tal tkg united states, so whether the vice president really shakes his hand is really immaterial. the issue here is that north korea is the one that really wants to take over or hijack these games to legitime its regime. >> but i think it's precisely because we want to keep theor focus on korea, its human rights record, its poor record in response to u.nns. sanct for their missile and nuclear program, that the vice president made

the trump admistration's decision to end temporary protected status has strong support from conrvatives in congress. the heritage foundation's carafano says he's sympathetic to families like the velasco but... >> if the u.s. is going to maintain pnigrams for hurian purposes and maintain the suprt of the american people then those humanitarian programs have to be used as they're intended. so at some point, administrations need to make tough choices. maybe they're not sending people back to the land of milk and honey, but we ought to comply with the intent and purpose of the law and send those people home. the word temporary was there for a reason. >> after 20-25 years, that is not temporary anymore. we made roots here, we have family-- raised families. >> reporter: the velasco family hopes to find a way they can legally remain in this country that they call home. one option they say they don'twa to think about is to stay on illegally by going underground once their temporare protstatus expires, in septthber 2019. fopbs newshour, i'm fred de sam lazaro in brentwood, california. >> woodruf
