a lot of analysts say that when you talk about the fair value of gold, they are looking at 1600 allerso $1800 an ounce. guy: let's talk about the brexit thing. basically, the pound hovering around $1.29 versus the dollar. we are a little way away from the $1.30 level we hit earlier in the week. european equities trading on decent volumes today. it is more of a stock story then a stock market story today. eat up by more than 20%. let's return now to the brexit story. british prime minister boris johnson will find out in a few hours whether or not he has a chance of getting his brexit deal through parliament. let's go to westminster. we are joined by emma chandra. let's get a sense of the crucial vote we are watching this afternoon. we've got basically two votes. one is the second reading, and talk us through this timeline bill as well. why is that so important? emma: you are absolutely right. we have two important votes coming up here in westminster. 7:00 p.m., the second reading of the withdrawal agreement bill. this is when mps will give an indication if they approve of the brexit dea

is more than a decade away, and therefore, the europeans have always said through this process an allerebe weather alternative to this which in the near-term was always the backstop. the question is now, if that is being rejected and a deal requires a zero hard border basis, it has to be a northern aeland bespoke arrangement, northern ireland only backstop and this is the potential landing zone, but that racks up the difficulty for boris johnson in parliament. anna: i've got a chart showing ftse 250 with its strongest week the week before the -- since the week before the referendum, which is impressive. supposed the future relationship and the way that is crafted between the u k and eu will have a bearing when we see the detail of that on where this sector heads. simon: two things. u.k. stocks when you benchmarked them against global stocks, they are 20% undervalued. there is opportunity for long investors looking on a deep value basis to say this noise -- i promise you, it will eventually go away. it will happen eventually. it may take some years but that will close. the pathway to it i

spent a lot of time talking about whether we from, allere it comes of this in the context of expectationsks continuing to do what they are doing, perhaps. a lot of people asking whether it will be enough. i know in the markets live blog, they have been asking, do markets sense that central banks are the limits of what they can do in terms of what -- how they can spur growth? esty: it depends on the central bank. if you are looking at europe, close. i think mario draghi tried to give one last boost to the markets. especially to governments. if you look at the latest qe announcement, it seems to me that a lot of what he is trying to do is make sure that servicing costs are remaining low for european countries, so that they have what is now being called this fiscal space, this ability to remain close to budget or within budget, but still have expansionary fiscal policies. i think europe beyond this is really not much more they can do. japan is in a similar situation. ae u.s., of course, is in different situation entirely. they have room to cut, they have room to ease, but i don't think the u

never trumper -- " a reference to alexander vindman, though there is no evidence he is a never triumph aller. the president writes "yesterday's never trumper witness could find no quid pro quo in the transcript of the phone call. there were many people listening to the call. how come they, including the president of ukraine, found nothing wrong with it? witch hunt. obviously we heard from multiple witnesses that there was a quid pro quo in the course of the dealings between the president and his team and ukraine. and from vindman himself in his opening statement, he said he did not believe it was proper for the president to urge the ukrainian president to investigate a u.s. citizen, specifically referring to joe biden. so, that's what the west wing is saying this morning. but this latest reporting about those emissions from the rough transcript or summary, as it's sometimes described, is significant, because it raises some new questions about the white house's handling of that call that, remember, they put into a more classified sort of secret server that exists here. and it also raises ques

aller: i want to continue discussion one of your previous callers had regarding the hypocrisy of theayor. he certainly is a tough guy and it shows in some of his policies. i was a resident of new york city at the time he was mayor. i will give you one issue, for example. he wanted to sell the new york toy public library system barnes and noble. that is his idea of civic engagement. two, there was an item in the news at the time, he pressured a commissioner of the brooklyn building department to aw, zoning the l law or building code law on a project for a financial contributor to his campaign. at the time, he was clashing with one of his police commissioners because the police commissioner finally made it to the cover of time magazine or newsweek and he could not stand the fact that the police commissioner had to do with the reduction in crime. whatever his positives or negatives, the fact of the matter is that new york city in the 1990's, certainly in the late 1980's, was one of the centers of drug fueled civic the nationwide drug epidemic had a lot to do with the crime in the countr

.aller: i think it is ok i have been listening to the rationale for having these meetings in private it is because you don't one of the conniving ande comparing testimonies and the rest of it. had we had an independent counsel to do what was necessary , i think maybe nobody would be complaining it was secret. host: this is maggie texting us absolutely yes, saying in all caps, of course republicans are complaining, they would have anyway. lindsey graham sending a tweet on this matter at about 5:45 in the afternoon saying there is no doubt in my afternoon -- in my mind the overwhelming response democrats heard in support of my resolution forced their hand. this is the resolution that took place in the senate last week. today's announcement is an acknowledgment of the success of our efforts from last week. donna in georgia, independent line, you are next up. hello. caller: i would like to say the whole impeachment thing is a joke. thank you. host: why do you say that? caller: because. look at it and you can see. host: tell me specifically why you come to that conclusion? caller: why is

.aller: i thank you for asking for the audience in your further education, although i am sure it is notour further education as you are highly educated, i would cite a los angeles times article from 2016 that is titled "in ciaa: militias armed by the ," that will be a good place to begin. host: priscilla out of west hills, california, line for republicans. caller: good morning. but jeffrey mentioned the quid pro quo that supposedly donald trump did, but no one did, but no one ever -- he didn't say anything about joe biden who on his video said he had six hours to get on his plane and he was going to take the $1.5 billion back to the usa unless they fired the prosecutor. money.said they got the no one said anything about that. what i really wanted to say this morning is that i can't believe -- and i'm ashamed, and shame on the democrats, americans -- it is a sad day for americans to watch. old,a taxpayer, 73 years and we are paying the salaries of these people who are sitting there doing nothing. shame on them. i voted for donald trump. what they are trying to do was say, we don't like t

host: republican line, should just point out. ,aller: this one influences me in the sense that thereas a 70% chance i wouldn't vote for bernie and now there is a 100% chance. it's ironic how much socialism is coming out of the original 13 colonies. host: some developments out of great it in, the house of commons meeting and averting a vote on the brakes a deal. london, jasonm douglas, following all of this for "the wall street journal." explain the significance of what happened yesterday at what the path is moving forward. they were supposed to have a vote on whether or not to approve a withdrawal agreement based on the agreement from boris johnson. rather than doing that, they kicked the vote into the long laws, triggering a requiring mr. johnson to seek an extension to the deadline. what we are expecting next is the government to bring the vote back pretty quickly. possibly as soon as monday or moving to the next stage of the brexit process, this legislative slaughtered trying to get everything done so that they can leave on time. was a talloctober order. so the current deadline is

mike, go ahead. ,aller: under the equal justice one criminal does not point his finger at another criminalo get off the hook. we need an impeachment investigation, this is not an impeachment, this is an investigation. if you go back and look at mr. trump's modus operandi, any judge or anyone who said anything against him, he is mouthing bad. what we need more than anything is some young artist to come up with a montage of everything that comes out of his mouth. i am christian, yet i have never asked god for forgiveness because i have never sinned. host: before you go too far, mr. biden's comments, what did you find most interesting about them? caller: i think he should not have used the word impeachment, he should have used the word investigation to impeach. host: mike in alabama. this is the wall street journal. could let the house vote to authorize an inquiry with order and rules that give the minority subpoena power and everything done in public. this was the house standard for clinton. she might lose house democrats without gaining many republicans, which would make the partisan nature

host: this is john in west virginia, republican line. .aller: good morning host: go ahead, you are onhe air. caller: i was born and raised as a democrat. was a democrat all my life, but the democrat party is no longer democrat. they are complaining because trump did not tell them what was going on. had he told them what was going on, they would may be had sabotaged it and maybe it would place.e take -- took maybe we would have gotten people killed. i praise what this president has been doing. he has helped the economy and democrats have done nothing but obstruct. i will remain as a democrat on registration, but i will never, ever vote for another democrat in the white house in any form, whether it is congress, senate, or what. host: did you vote for president trump last time around? caller: i did and i will again. host: john in west virginia. on the republican line, angel in maryland. caller: good morning. preface this by saying i am active-duty military and i was thinking about what i was going to say. my entire career has been during the war on global terrorism. i was listening to o

passed. ,aller: what appears to me there's smugness and ness on boths sides. i would include the media on the democratic side. it is seriously underlining our constitutional republic. it's not a democracy. to a cardinal in pennsylvania, my fellow citizens here, the electoral college determines who is elected to the presidency. not a popular vote. there is an amendment process that has to take place if you want to change it. and that's fine if we go through the amendment process. what i would like to say is that in all three cases, nixon, clinton, and the current situation, i don't think that anyone of them should have even come close to being impeached. not a single one. it just doesn't rise to the level that is there that would take out any one of them. but that's only because, again, the smugness. the sanctimonious mess. sanctimoniousness. host: what should impeachment be reserved for? , serious matters . someone tried to cover will break in at a hotel, someone working in party politics, that doesn't to me rise to the occasion. anything, in both of, all of t

,aller: when i think about it he should not move the people from their country. in chicago is also a democrat. good morning. caller: good morning. donald trump is setting this country back at least 50 to 100 years. i know he campaigned on the fact he was going to make america great, he is doing the opposite. he is doing putin's bidding and it seems he is a plant for the russians. every move he makes and if it's the russians. i don't know how anyone in this country could vote for this guy. i am shaking my head. i am 53 years old. he is taking this country backwards. host: robert, portland, oregon. democratic caller as well. good morning. caller: good morning. i am just really, really upset at the president. i am at the point where i am ashamed to call myself an american. beare letting the kurds slaughtered. this man needs to go. this man needs to go. please go. host: what are you concerned about with this decision? caller: i'm concerned about the kurds. i am concerned about the people being slaughtered. host: robert in oregon. theing us is ben hubbard, bureau chie

and every day, makes an effort to alter of constitution of the united states, alter the ethics and allerst when she said there's no way of knowing who moves the needle on this thing. to your point that you just raised about elizabeth warren, look it, let's face facts, elizabeth warren is a star. she is a star on the debate stage. she's been a star during this campaign, but you have to wonder the emotional reaction of people watching that exchange in which, if you noted, she never once looked at vice president biden after he said correctly that he helped garner votes for the consumer protection bureau on the floor of the senate, which he did. she never once looked at him, and then to use your phrase, joe, was there a smallness aspect to her that people will notice, that will register with people? when she not only looks at him, but clearly says deliberately i would like to thank, slight pause, president obama. not both of them, not obama and biden, not both of them. i would like to thank, slight pause, president obama. >>> still ahead, we've got two more presidential candidates on deck, sn
