aipac , for a full week, starting november 11th. >> i got in my brain already. one day before actually is going to start it, you better get out of there and get the groceries. >> after having a stroke, manwell says he was forced to rely on public transportation. and believes the conference is great for the economy , but not for neighbors i can. >> we can't do nothing about it. >> he is not alone with his concern. some san francisco landlords with apartment located within the security zone for the conference have voiced concerns for their elderly residents who will be impacted by the many road closures. mayor london breed addressed the concerns at a press conference held on tuesday, at city hall. >> the senior buildings , i know a few of those seniors that live there, and i know that they use public transportation all the time and they walk around the city but there is also some of those seniors who have paratransit who picks him up, we are working on making sure that those paratransit vehicles can get into those locations. and so there are some things that we ar

we will just have to see what comes out of aipac.can side certainly want to improve relations and i strongly suspect many on the chinese side to too despite differences over taiwan so we could be positively surprised. certainly in neither of their interest from an economic perspective to continue the sour relations. haidi: when it comes to a couple market tilings we have seen this year, india is one you think is looking expensive. i also wanted your thoughts on japan as well. mark: well japan story is one of a tremendous amount of cash on both household and corporate balance sheets. households have something like $13 trillion in cash and bank deposits and companies, over 50% of their balance sheets are in cash. this is a legacy of decades of deflation. now they have inflation in japan and their inflation rate on a headline basis is even higher than that of the united states. i think that will continue because of the collapse in value of the yen and the steadily declining size of the working age population, which will put pressure on

aipac, of course, is the oldest. this also points to the academic in me. long-standing historical studies about how institutionalized it is in the atlantic and how un-institutionalized the asia-pacific, what we now refer to as the indo pacific. there are various reasons for this, but the difference -- different institutions you mentioned, on one hand, a genuine effort to create this sort of latticework of institutions that do have overlap in some ways but also quite distinct in other areas, to uphold a degree of order and normalcy in the region. but i think it is also a clear indication of how much the international order has eroded. it is not just the latest indication of the under institutionalization in the region. his art about. -- it is part that. but i think it is an intense, focused effort to build is insufficient, because the norms they are trying to hold are very much under challenge. obviously, the trilateral arrangement as to these, but, you know, i would say, there are issues, information sharing, and other things, and we looked at when it was

. >> the white house wants congress to pass an aipac. you want -- aid package to israel. -- aide to palestinians to be included. do you think it should include specific assistance for gaza? how do you think that should be structured? it's obviously gonna be difficult to deliver that, but they're in such dire need. >> well, this announcement, likely, makes the inclusion of aid more viable. there's obviously a question as to whether we were gonna be able to get that aid in, now we might be able to have a pathway to get aid into gaza. the u. n. has already issued an appeal, and i'm pressing the administration and my colleagues to make sure the united states does its part to meet that appeal. others will contribute funding as well. but certainly, and makes sense to flow forward the weapons, the interceptors, that israel needs, along with the money necessary to deal with the humanitarian consequences of this war. that's how we approach conflict overseas. we put in the money necessary to fight the bad guys, but then we also put in the money to

. >> reporter: it is all hands on deck in the weeks leading up to the aipac conference. as local and federal and security agencies make sure the event goes off safely. >> a key aspect of security is the known. it is the unknown the gets you. >> reporter: from the san francisco police to the secret service and fbi, teams are working around the clock to ensure there are are not any unknown factors leading up to the summit. a retired fbi special agent in charge , said it will take teamwork. >> having a greater law-enforcement presence in the area will show that the city is capable of doing what everybody says sometimes they cannot. >> reporter: the moscone center is the heart of what he calls this sterile zone that will host nearly 2 dozen world leaders including president biden. prompting a massive security operation. >> i said, my gosh . this will be a challenge. they will have dog teams coming around and clear areas. places a clear they will seal off. in ways they can tell if it had been disturbed not. >> reporter: despite significant staffing shortages sfpd police chief

. >> the secret service has declared a national special security event for aipac.he conference in san francisco next month will bring more than 30,000 delegates from around the world to the city. and that means security will be tight in the designated higher security zone at moscone center and yerba buena gardens, the secret service will put up a 14 foot unscathed fence. that area will be limited to people with credentials only along the outer perimeter. sfpd will be supported by about 1000 chp officers. >> the number one priority for the united states secret service, as well as everyone standing here today, is the safety of the world leaders, the attendees coming to the apec summit, but as well as the general public here in san francisco, the secret service will close 12 blocks around the moscone center or the part of the central subway that runs underneath the security zone will also be closed. >> aipac runs from november 11th through the 17th. now to the ongoing efforts in san francisco to get illegal street vendors off the streets. >> city officials concede war

during our aipac host year, we are seizing the opportunity to demonstrate the power of inclusion as a means to promote economic opportunity and competition. this means lifting up women entrepreneurs and workers, helping small businesses grow, and unlocking economic opportunities for underrepresented parts of our population. and we are walking our talk. in san francisco in november, trade ministers will hear from and engage with indigenous leaders from around the asia-pacific so that their voices can help shape our work. we are focused on empowering more workers and more communities to fly in the new global economy. that means trading smarter, more strategically, in pursuit of better outcomes, in a more inclusive prosperity across our societies. our work with india is a good example. since june, we have been able to achieve targeted market opportunity breakthroughs for american farmers and producers, including four turkey, pecans, blueberries exports to india. this happened outside the usual trade agreement context that some see as the only trade success that counts. let me assure you,

san francisco announced today that it is financially ready for the upcoming international conference aipac. mayor london agrees that the goal for the apec conference is $20 million. estate stands for -- president biden is expected to attend along with leaders of asian and pacific nations. their conference will run from november the 11th to the 17th. >> bay area music fans will be getting a deal. -- performed at the festival under his stage name, diesel. he's returning for the breakaway music festival. bill graham and san francisco. producer dj snake was supposed to have 90 festival but pulled out last minute. so dj diesel, aka shaq, is saving the day. the festival is next week, tickets charged at $99 for a single day package. >> they were like, shaq was djing. i know. i did not know. they said it was good. >> jeff, super warm outside. it would be glorious. >> toasty out there, really for anybody doing anything there today, across the bay area, even in san francisco. i have a camera, thinking it's one of the fighter pilots working overtime, we get lucky and they fly on by, but that's neithe

and speaking of potentially bringing businesses here, great opportunity coming next month with aipac is and i know a lot of people are saying that the city is, you know, hoping to clean up its image in the same way that it did for dreamforce this summer. but notice, simply absent from the ad, any mention of the housing crisis, the massive population of people living on the streets, the open air drug use. i mean, i could go on and on with this kind of list of negatives here. so what would you say to the people that might say that this ad buy might be a waste of money and it might be a distraction from some of the real issues facing the city? >> well, i think i would say that there's so much coverage of that side of the equation, john, and it's unfortunate. and i think this the goal of this is really to start to counterbalance and shed a light on the other side of the story. and, you know, marketing isn't going to solve the problems of the city, but it but our hope is it will create a spark that lights a fuze that over time can really reinvigorate and start to seed pride and hope for t

that is, the aipac lobby and the jistry lobby are in favor of two states, that is, a part of the jews who support israel and the zionist regime say that we should have two governments so that it does not spend unnecessarily. and in fact, in my opinion, blaken is using this opportunity to impose the two-state policy on netanyahu and lead the negotiations to this story , because ibrahim has failed, and he put the last arrow of this operation into ibrahim's contract, and in fact saudi secret negotiations with the zionists were stopped for in my opinion, establishing relations pursues its own goals and not preventing the expansion of the war because it feels that the expansion of the war is the first victim of the regime 's bases in the region. they are defense and it is a good and suitable target to be targeted by missiles of the resistance axis. thank you, mr. sarmad. i have my voice. mr. sariad, you mentioned what the americans are looking for now. a question to find more dimensions it exists in the public opinion that why the americans entered the scene so widely, so obviously and so

aipac lobby and jistry lobby, jistry is pro-two -state, that is, a part of the jews who support israel and the zionist regime say that we should have two governments so that they don't waste their money, america has biddy spends money for the zionist regime where it sometimes acts against the interests of the nation , and in fact, according to blaken, he is using the opportunity to promote the two-state policy. netanyahu should impose and take the negotiations towards this story because ibrahim has failed and he put the last bullet and this operation into ibrahim's contract and in fact the secret negotiations between saudi arabia and the zionists were stopped in order to establish relations. the expansion of the war because it feels that the expansion of the war is the first victim of the regime's bases, the us bases in the region, if the war expands at the regional level , the american bases are also vertically undefended and a good and suitable target to be targeted by the missiles of the resistance axis. thank you, mr. sarmad we have my voice, mr. sariad, you mentioned what the amer

well, she she talked about, you know, what was going on and what aipac would mean for san francisco. so, you know, she really she had an extraordinary commitment to our international regional presence and relationship. and so the conversation around, you know, whatever she can do, how she can be supportive, she agreed to be a part of our host committee. she was committed to making sure that san francisco looked and felt good and for all of these foreign leaders who were coming to our city and just also discussed even some of her own relationships with some of those leaders and some of those leaders here locally offering advice on who could be a part of the work that we're doing to make apec a huge success. so there are so many conversations that was the probably the one that i remember in terms of maybe being the last, but there were always numerous conversations over the last small one, like something that is just like so like intimate, like you mentioned potholes or like you know, fixing a street. i want to wait on sharing that because it involves her family. and i think, you know,

schiff: i am proud to have the support of members of aipac as well as members of j street. it is because i have a record of working together to get things done and in this case to make sure we speak out when we disagree with policies whether it is a move away from democracy or settlements but also that we recognize the relationship between the u.s. and israel is a relationship based on our own national security and shared values and interests. right now israel is being brutally attacked. it is the victim of terrorist attacks and the only sentiment i want to express right now when israel is going through its own 9/11 is unequivocal support for the security and the right of israel to defend itself. there may be americans whose lives have also been lost. i talked to a friend of mine whose niece was killed, her niece's husband was killed. this is the tragedy they are dealing with right now. the only message i have for israel right now is i stand shoulder to shoulder with the israeli people. lisa: congresswoman porter? rep. lee: i stand with israel in this time and i condemned t

aipac is just a few weeks away and there are a lot of changes coming to san francisco. >> so due to allging drive downtown on abc7. news at six starts now. building a better bay area moving forward, finding solutions. >> this is abc7 news. we want justice now. >> justice a call to action is answered today by students in the bay area. >> hundreds of them walked out of their classrooms to protest the conflict in the middle east. thank you for joining us. i'm karina nova. >> and i'm j.r. stone. we saw more protests today after the conflict in the middle east. in the bay area, high school students walked out of their classrooms in berkeley and san francisco. and in washington, d.c. there was a rally for a cease fire that blocked streets around the capitol. abc7 news reporter tara campbell was on the ground with some of the students as they took action and made their voices heard. >> riverside calls for a cease fire in gaza. free palestine from berkeley to san francisco. free palestine. stop points across the bay area. joining a national walkout wednesday

detract from the others, how do they fit together, how do you work with all the and apap, the new -- aipac, the new relationship. how they fit together? lt. col. deckard: they fit together. [laughter] there is certainly some overlap. you do not want each of these things to be discreet, because then you end up having gaps between them. i think that, for example, you may be referring to the indo pacific dialogue, that is an ordained dialogue between the united states, japan, and the republic of korea that is focused on discrete, specific issues that some other dialogue don't. so that is still to be worked out in terms of we have a pretty good sense of exactly when and how and where we are going to do that, but i'm not prepared to make any specific announcement that this point. but all joking aside, they absolutely do fit together in a way that i think creates something that is bigger than the sum of their parts, and, you know, it is expansive but still very valuable. mr. tokola: i'm going to ask you guys one more question. i said i would not, but i have to. we talk about security aspects. do

executive blamed these sorts of deals for making google so dominant, appearing in person, he told aipache morning and you brush your teeth and you search on google, he said. thejustice department of the case revolves around these deals which ensure that pretty much every smart phone sold in america comes out of the box with google search preinstalled. microsoft boss said his company has invested more than $100 billion into the development of its own search engine. it has also invested heavily on artificial intelligence and is considered a front runner. but he warned that there were limits to how far ai could reshape the market. here is —— �*s appearance comes many years after the tech giant faces monopoly case settled back in 2001 and which paved the way for competitors like google. shares in china's evergrande have resumed trading in hong kong, opening some 10% higher. trading in the chinese property developer was suspended last thursday following a report that its founder and chair were under police surveillance. live now to our asia business hub in singapore wherejoao da silva joins

says president biden and xi jinping will meet in san francisco next month on the sidelines of the aipace house confirmed the sit down with reporters who had sought an official announcement. leaders are expected to discuss the economy, technology, and geopolitical issues like taiwan. new zealand's incoming prime minister is optimistic a new government could be formed by next week. he said talks with other parties were advancing and progress has been made. he is believed to be in talks with two of the parties to form a parliamentary majority after his national party won a 9% of the vote last month. final results of the general election are due this friday. paul: let's take a look at what is happening in the bond space at the moment. we are seeing yields on the aussie bonds moving higher, the 10 year now just below the 5% level. modest declines for kiwi bonds as new zealand, getting close to finding out the exact composition of the new government. we have a lot of central bank decisions coming up, not just this week but also next. australia's rba expected to lift rates to a 12 year high tu

again, the ultimate prize perhaps would be a meeting in san francisco next month on the sidelines of aipac between biden and xi. it's not even confirmed xi will go. but this is a positive sign. among the main notes schumer did mention on the china-u.s. relationship, he told xi u.s. wants fairness and stability and doesn't think there is economic reciprocity right now. he made it clear the u.s. cannot sit idly by in the face of actions where china is intimidating u.s. businesses good we have a second -- businesses. we have a second soundbite. >> we may clear the united states cannot sit idly by and we must address the chinese governments forced technology transfers, theft of intellectual property, and intimidation of u.s. businesses operating in china. we made a number of specific quests. they said they would consider those requests and we will consider to pursue now that we've established these relationships, we will pursue them. stephen: the last thing i want to add, when the press comes in for the beginning of these talks, they go behind closed doors but they give statements to the press

that takes a little pressure off the white house as they head to the fall and get closer to the aipacmit in november. second, it signals to beijing that there are members of congress that want a pragmatic working relationship on some level. certainly, beijing knows a lot of the pressure, the most intense pressure, the most hawkish rhetoric in washington is coming from the hill. it is a positive sign in that way as well. haidi: in terms of the tenor of discussions on any level of engagement does that change? does the u.s. have more leverage given we know the domestic challenges playing out for xi jinping and his leadership? anna: you are right that the domestic challenges xi jinping is facing, the economic slowdown, the difficulties try to figure out how to stimulate economic growth that is more robust are making -- are putting china in a position where it may be more amenable to trying to manage the diplomatic relationship with the united states more peacefully and more stably. at the same time, i do not know that there is all that much leverage for the united states. the reality is b

we potentially have a summit at aipac in san francisco. we are is the united states and china have a complicated, often difficult, sometimes contested competitive relationship to we are competitors when it comes to major security issues in the indo pacific. we are competitors on technology. we have just taken more steps to restrict the sale of american dual use technology. we are competitive on the lack of competitive level playing field for american businesses in the nearly $700 billion trade relationship. we have major differences in human rights. americans value fundamental freedoms for individuals. those differences tend to in often cases dominate the relationship between the two countries. >> in your dialogue with the chinese, are you giving any indication that summit will happen and because of the issues at hand right now whether it is the middle east, ongoing 20 month war in ukraine and all these other economic issues that have not been resolved and seemed to be sticking points, all the more critical these two mean? >> what we have

on wednesday, without a speaker, the house can't vote on an aipac page to get israel to help that it may need. just in the last hour we learned that there are five hard votes against jim jordan with additional for maybe leading no. and now remember jordan can only afford to lose about four votes, -- if all members are in attendance. jim jordan, the congressman joins me now, and congressman thank you for joining us. first of all, i'm wondering, tomorrow is this vote and do you have a plan on whether you will vote yes or no in favor of jim jordan? >> i met with jim, about a half hour tonight, another meeting with him tomorrow and i told jim, tonight, that i'm no. and i look forward to our meeting tomorrow to answer some questions. >> why are you a no? >> there's a few issues i'm concerned about, one is the aid package to ukraine. it has been fairly and surprisingly, frankly controversial within the republican conference. i have asked jim to make a public, unequivocal statement that that a package will go to the floor. he wants to see certain things before that happens. he wants to see

they will be laying the groundwork for xi jinping when he's expected to come to san francisco for an aipacd there will be a one-on-one almost certainly with joe biden. what you are seeing is the ministry's and wants to get things back on track and do with joe biden likes best, those interpersonal relationships with other leaders around the world. sonali: if you think about that meeting in san francisco, how does this set the stage for that and what do you expect? nick: the big question is what would come out of that meeting. would it just be another handshake, symbolic action and then not amount to really much of anything? the last time they met in bali, in the asia -- indonesia there was talk about setting a floor under the relationship. we went to compete but we don't want conflict. that has not necessarily been borne out. there has been some improvement of the relationship bilaterally, you see tension point. battle over intellectual property, microchips, export controls. the real kinetic situation in the south china sea where the u.s. has seen an uptick in aggressive action by chinese v

we'll have to wait for his debut because the 40 niners have a bye this week aipac is coming to town but is it going to be the economic boom we expect? >> why some small businesses say it could be more of a headache and more insurance companies are pulling out of california. we'll look at who is no longer going to write policies. plus we have a rather epic and special halloween dance going on in the y area. we'll take you there in here in san francisco. that meeting will take place when both leaders are in town for next month's asia pacific economic cooperation, or apec summit. the us and china are the world's two largest economies. this meeting could help stabilize an increasingly tense relationship between the two countries. white house press secretary karine jean-pierre did not provide many details about president biden's agenda for the meeting. only saying the two presidents are expected to have a tough conversation and intense competition means intense diplomacy. >> meanwhile, there are numerous san francisco businesses worried about apec's impact. a huge area around the moscone cen

. >> the aipac conference is also a chance for san francisco to take center stage when the leaders ofgest economies, the us and china, sit down to meet in good faith. the meeting goes beyond trade talks. it is also an opportunity to convince more chinese tourists to travel here. despite what they have seen or heard. chinese tourists spent $1.2 billion in san francisco in 2019, but have not returned in pre pandemic numbers. >> you never get a second chance to make a first impression. there are two reasons why chinese tourism has not returned to normal. >> number one, direct flights were not available until just last month. they are slowly coming back and number two, the valid concern about anti-asian hate crime in the newsroom, leanne melendez, abc seven news. >> let's move back to our developing news on the war between israel and hamas. tonight, the white house is confirming that 11 americans are among the 900 reported dead in israel and nearly 700 more have been killed in gaza. now president biden has joined leaders from italy, the united kingdom, france and germany to pledge support

board of supervisors considering a resolution to urge the city to inform and protect those impacts by aipac. brandon lee is among those expressing his concerns, saying apec has negatively impacted native communities, particularly in the philippines. and he worries about the impact the summit will have on the city . it's only good for those who are wealthy and elite but bad for people in san francisco, where local businesses senior citizens, disabled people all will have a difficult time getting around and the apec pushes everyone out. city leaders say they hear those concerns and are already working to inform people and mitigate any transit or potential economic impacts. we know there's going to be impacts. we know that there are people who are concerned. we're going to do everything we can to address what people's concerns are. but make no mistake, this is going to have a significant impact on our economy. the mayor also acknowledging concerns about street issues. she said that while there aren't encampment issues in the areas that will be hosting the summit, those experiencing mental heal

the request comes ahead of next month's aipac conference. the secret service is responsible for the protection of the president and foreign dignitaries. president joe biden is expected to meet with china's president xi jinping at the summit, according to the chronicle, the agency plans to staff the surveillance equipment from november 15th through the 18th. licensed street vendors in san francisco's mission district are reporting, pushing back on a temporary vending ban slated to start in november. vendors and city officials will hold a meeting tomorrow to discuss the parameters of the 90 day ban. the ban would be in place along mission street between cesar chavez and 14th streets. we're told sf public works employees are wearing bulletproof vests regularly dealing with attacks and unpermitted vendors selling stolen goods are blocking the sidewalks. officials say enforcement details have not been finalized yet. some vendors say they are worried the ban would impact their ability to provide for their families. coming up during our 9:00 hour,

actually to san francisco before aipac. >> but let me say that the un charter was signed here in san1945. right. and that was a big moment for san francisco. and some say this is even bigger. yeah yeah. so the event is so big that the secret service will head up security. now, san francisco is focusing on two things for finding economic opportunities and improving its image, because unlike in vegas, what happens in san francisco during apec will not stay in san francisco. while there are many iconic landmarks, san francisco's tarnished image around the world is best described as a beauty in distress. this journalist based in san francisco who worked for foreign media, have much to write about, especially since it changed a lot. >> it's not the hippie city anymore than the tech bros came in and a lot of money came really. a lot of money came in in san francisco has changed dramatically. >> axel posted. it works for a german business newspaper interested in how san francisco grapples with its commercial real estate downturn. the question is, will we see anything like this in germany? >

back with thomas, head of aipac investment strategy. you guys can see flows and preferences.t are you seeing as far as money on the mainland? is it staying there, going elsewhere? >> it is moving into hong kong. august was the largest disparity we have seen. it says foreign investors are selling chinese equities and chinese investors are buying companies in hong kong. there is a fundamental push in terms of valuations with regard to tech companies but for the most part foreign investors see china as a trading market, we can argue it has always been. shanghai composite, it was there. david: could be, right? >> there is a case that could see good returns over the next few months but the long-term risk versus reward is not there when you look at the growth of japan and india. why take an extra risk in moving into chinese equities? yvonne: seems like this is something that policymakers are addressing concerns, making measures to keep the economy on track, bringing down the temperature with geopolitics. why do you think the market is not biting? >> growth versus returns. there is

let's cross to singapore and the head of aipac research. the world bank throwing around numbers like $100 a barrel if we see any disruption through oil markets. how do you see the continued conflict impacting energy markets? >> we have seen a lot of volatility since the conflict began for oil specifically we saw wti and brent at their high. 10% higher prices compared to when the conflict began. if i look this morning, wti is back to levels comparable to before the attack. brent is higher but it is lower than the peak. this is going to depend on whether we see any physical disruptions to close. we have not seen that for oil yet. for gas, the news just about 12 hours ago, there has been a stoppage in gas supplies from israel to egypt, did move the market for a little bit. very quickly though european traders did realize the impact is going to be limited. while egypt does have lng export capacity since summer, it has not been exporting that much. overall its share of the market is limited. ultimately this is going to come down to whether we se

when he was making his pitch for the aipac, it was like a say now, pay later approach.t, and this week, indeed, is something we will be analyzing for the next 100 years. it truly is a moment where the whole world is watching. not just americans at home but abroad as well. haidi: the question is whether he can be successful. what did you think about the pulling together of the two conflicts. -- of the two conflicts during the connection of how this is really the threat -- the risk is really global and it needs to be looked at as a whole? that was quite interesting to me. >> yeah. everything he said was high-risk but he is also hoping for a big payoff. he said this is a worldwide struggle of democracy versus autocracy. saying few people have the right to live without being invaded or terrorized. shery: it was really interesting to hear from president biden. even from the beginning of that speech, talking about palestinians' human rights. over going to see a more toned down/measured response from israel given the warnings coming from the u.s. who really want to ensure this

for more on the risks related to this and everything else, hartmut issel, head of aipac equities at ubssible it changes the trajectory of china and property rules? >> i think if we take the bigger picture, many of the measures we have seen since basically august, a lot of things have come out especially front and heavy -- front end heavy. the package that came out the weekend before last weekend, but they have not commented that china seems to allow little more leverage, very strict the last 18 months. that has had her cut -- repercussions on property. if you loosen that a little bit, it should continue to the economy and the property market finding a bit of a bottom. if you find the data, it is still negative of course. from an investor's point of view , you also watch the delta. sometimes it seems not quite as negative as it used to be. i think we are in the early stages of a process where we are seeing the negative signs or the magnitude of the negative signs on the china property which is probably also supportive for chinese assets. vonnie: would it be a huge event if the hong kong

aipac is a good opportunity for him to reassure the world that you can't -- china is on the right track is stable and sufficient for investors to take a look at china. >> stan, on a separate geopolitical story, here that former president trump may have revealed nuclear submarine secrets to australian businessman, what is that about? this is trump holding meetings at mar-a-lago trying to tell visitors some of the information he has had. there are some other examples of this, this would involves nuclear submarines and the u.s. times reporting that an australian businessman heard stuff like how many warheads in nuclear submarine can hold, how close it can get to russian subs, things like that. it really depends what information was shared, how sensitive was it, would that give any other governments some insight or hurt national security. that remains unclear. we have not yet heard from the australian government but we are seeking back. it's another example of what trump is being prosecuted for in the u.s. at the moment. >> our asian government managing editor there for us. a few other poli
