that ashley was a kind of lie, said the defense. >> ashley was a beautiful woman.ible pain inside. she was mentally ill. >> the defense put one of her clothe friends on the stand. >> what did you know of ashley having a mental illness? >> i knew she was on medications. we spoke pretty in-depth about that. >> even with medications, the friend testified, ashley had trouble controlling her emotions. >> what kind of emotions did you see her go through? >> depression, mood swings. impulsive behaviors. >> in fact, the defense argued, ashley was so depressed the summer she died, she wrote this letter to tom. >> i have so much pain on the inside, i can no longer take it. i'm sorry to do this to you and the kids, but i find myself not even liking my children. >> every day is a chore, with them, you. i have to pretend to be happy. i have to pretend to be someone i'm not. please make sure you raise the kids to continue to go to the school we have chosen. i do love them, i just can't take this life any longer. please make sure you let them know every day, i do love them and th

ashley: they are.for you, brad, dnc co-chair, congressman keith ellison denying allegations that he abused an ex-girlfriend. what is your take on this story? >> i will not be like a democrat. i will give the chairman the benefit of the doubt. everybody is entitled to a presumption but one thing for sure democrats need to get ahead of this. it should be open and transparent, the investigation. and then let the chips fall where they may. this is serious allegation. i will not be like democrats and condemn him before the trial. i think that this calls for investigation and democrats should do it so the american people can see it. ashley: is the democrat party torn right now between the ocasio-cortez group, the democrat socialist, who is long on idealism but pretty short on facts? is there that group against the moderate democrats you? kind of mentioned that you believe the democrat party is leaving nancy pelosi behind because she is not as far left as some would like? >> if you can believe that. ashley: i

ashley: yes. >> when you saw those chinese macronumbers earlier you knew they were in a jam. they had to reach out, and thank goodness it came sooner rather than later because 24 hours ago we weren't looking so hot we got the wal-mart earnings this morning beautiful thing i took a profit on half of it by the way and ubs gives us the upgrades for boeing, all right in a row, tonight we got nvidia, trader focuses on nvidia earnings, i'm going into that. ashley: sarg is fired up especially with the wal-mart numbers and then at the cme, to the point about wal-mart, the numbers for this economy here in the united states continues to be very impressive, and it's pretty broad based, if the consumer is happy this is an economy that's going to hum along very nicely right? is there anything that can knock it off track? >> well, you know these numbers were blowout blowout numbers. the market cap now 300 million, almost in wal-mart, but you know it's kind of the perfect scenario for them, because they announce

ashley? ashley: edward, thank you very much. okay, to talk more about this, joining me, fox news contributor and co-author of "borrowed time" james freeman along with former utah congressman jason chaffetz and heather zumaragus. jason, let me begin with you. just when we think we could get something going, the story breaks, "toronto star" reports off the record comments. apparently they weren't off the record because someone shared them and in that, president trump says i'm not going to compromise with canada. he also says apparently they had no choice, they have to deal with this. the timing of this couldn't be worse, could it? >> well, it always gets more intense at the finish line. justin trudeau saying something that donald trump i think would actually say, saying no deal is better than a bad deal, and that's the reason the president has brought this to the forefront. remember, it continued on in perpetuity. there's nothing like a deadline. ashley: are you optimistic a deal will get done? >> i am. i think mexico coming to th

ashley? ashley: hopefully the spirit is good edward thank you very much appreciate that, the latest in d.c. about the trade deals especially with mexico and perhaps a new nafta deal. let's check the big board the dow was down more than 300 points this morning down now 188 , 190 points at 25, 109 and a little bit of a comeback, no doubt it's a down day and on this day about shares of chipotle spicing up, the mexican casual chain getting the confidence, morgan stanley upgrading and price to $600 a share and citigroup following suit, also raising its price target from $573 a share, and that means the stock hit a 2.5 year intra-day high today shares currently up 6% nearly $30 at 522, on track for its highest close since march of 2016. finally some good news for chipotle, but big tech certainly taking it on the chin today. facebook, apple, amazon, netflix and google, parent alphabet all moving low, coming up next the ceo at the forefront of the internet of everything will give his opinion on where

for my share ashley —— for mike ashley, it is a bit of a risk. brand. he seems to behind a failing brand. he seems to be willing to take these risks in all sorts of instances. not only does he only entirety of the house of fraser and thoughts direct, he also owns 30% of debenhams. if more and more high street brands will go under, it is not inconceivable that mike ashley will buy more. it will start to bring questions about him. there was lots of scrutiny about how sports direct treats its workers and the general model for making money. it is going to try and take that to house of fraser and debenhams, we'll be hearing a lot more about mike ashley. not only does he run sports director he also runs a relatively upmarket chain, flannels, which is selling things like tommy hilfiger and vivienne westwood. it seems as if he is taking over the entire high street. can he turn around and figure out how to bring people back into the high street and keep jobs fair question will we see everywhere turning into outfits like sports direct. there were times whe

ashley: what about pakistan? a great deal of the prospects of success in afghanistan are determined by the choices that pakistan makes, which is one to take into the issue, with the dimension of pakistan as a factor in u.s.india relations, but how do you see the triangular relationship between the u.s., india and pakistan? randall: i probably don't want to say a lot of that because we want to give the new prime minister of the new government in pakistan, space to explore where there may be opportunities to improve relations with india. many new governments come into power and want to do that and then run smack dab into reality and all the difficulties. but in terms of separating what was said during the campaign and what he has said since the election, we want to give him space to find the opportunities to improve things with india area i think on the questions about how this all relates to afghanistan and shared interests, there's a -- there is no question that we need pakistan's help in encouraging, persuading,

so, can sports direct‘s mike ashley breathe new life into the brand? house of fraser. it doesn't really, in my mind, really fit together very well. house of fraser's kind of pitched itself as a high end brand. i don't know whether that would maybe devalue it slightly or change its market, but, ultimately, if it keeps the employees in a job, i think it's a good thing. in the short term at least, people here still have theirjobs and belfast still has its flagship department store. emma vardy, bbc news, belfast. i'm nowjoined by emma simpson. so, how much do we know tonight about what happens next? good question. it is business as usual for now, but we have no detail about what mike ashley is going to do and, crucially, how many stores he's going to keep. all he's saying for 110w going to keep. all he's saying for now is he wants to to turn house of fraser into the harrods of the high street. hugely ambitious. many are wondering whether he's bitten off more than he can chew. this is a large, complex business, and it isn't long, dare i say it, before the c

for instance, mike ashley holds sta kes for instance, mike ashley holds stakes in a lot of retailers overall strategy. it is one that sports direct‘s investors have been asking for some time. because the main business is doing relatively well in a challenging atmosphere. recently they had to take a big profit right off because of the sta ke profit right off because of the stake in debenhams. hopefully a bit more clarity later on today. the confederation of british industry says net migration targets should be scrapped after brexit. the business group claims ‘targets should be replaced with a system that ensures people coming to the uk make a positive contribution to the economy'. however, the home office said it had no plans to scrap immigration targets. the deadline for installing smart meters across the uk should be extended for another three years according to citizens advice. up to 53 million smart meters — designed to replace traditional gas and electricity meters — are due to be installed in 30 million homes and businesses by the end of 2020. but citizens advice said it would b

it is interesting that mike ashley is adding toa interesting that mike ashley is adding to a bizarreportfolio. he is involved with sports direct. he has the upmarket fashion brand flannels and he has a lot of interest in other stores, also debenhams. this is a big move and i'm sure a lot of people will be breathing a slight sigh of relief that the name house of fraser is not disappearing from high streets altogether but i cannot imagine that the business or its offer of going to be similarof the business or its offer of going to be similar of that people know or recognise as being house of fraser. this is someone who trades very much in the discounts market and really has brands that do just that. that is where the success has been. we do not want huge gaping holes in the uk's high street because that does not help other retailers surrounding these big departmental stores but it is clear to see that the success of online and changing in consumer buying habits are having to affect in uk high street up and down the country. what you think is in this him? i think this money is very ambi

but i think the point ashley made is good one. and the story she and her colleagues wrote about the misleading statement, that story really has legs because that issue of president trump's involvement in the misleading statement is among the topics bob mueller want to talk to the president about. and that is kind of at the heart of this question is bob mueller going subpoena the president. is he going to take no for an answer, or is he going to take, well, we'll talk about this but not that for an answer? >> of the foundation of the mueller case, the founding documents, the founding questions, do you think trump tower meeting is easily top five? >> yeah, i think you can look at the questions mueller has said he wants answered from the president and this question of what did you know about this meeting, what did you do in regards to it is front and center. and i think of course it is because it goes to this issue of people from the kremlin show up in the middle of an influence operation that tipped the outcome of the presidential e

ashley: it's a big deal.new content, make the games more compelling, more enthralling, becomes a problem for especially young males who spend all day playing these games. don't forget a lot of games are free. available on multiple devices. they double up as social networks. now the world health organization added gaming disorder to the updated version of the international classification of diseases. this is an actual does, they're making it more difficult to stop? ashley: to turn it off. because of the new content. the way games are designed. if you don't carry out playing, you will miss out, become psychologically -- the problem is, people get truly addicted. reportedly giving up on interests and activities and overindulge. stuart: i heard of this. this is real thing. ashley: play all day long. they have no interest in anything else. be honest, the game makers that are the way they are designed, to keep you hooked. stuart: of course it is. ashley: now a disease, gaming disorder. stuart: shall i change the su

ashley: no. -- ashley: who are laughing at you and with you. elizabeth: remember the president, one of the first things he did when he got into the oval office, he signed an executive order, let's re-examine nafta. now we come to the table waiting for canada to step in. you know, canada had been really worried about the low wages at mexican car factories siphoning manufacturing operations into mexico. now that they've raised the wages there in this duty-free deal, in other words, $16 an hour, that means two things; that the manufacturing could stay in canada and the u.s. and also those workers in mexico could stay and work there and not pour in for higher wage jobs here. stuart: all right, ladies and gentlemen, this is it. [laughter] i believe this is the real thing. this is where live tv really works wonders, because in five seconds -- i promise you five seconds, the president of the united states on trade. here we go. >> hello, everybody. big day for trade, big day for our country. a lot of peo

the good news is that mike ashley ha5 stepped good news is that mike ashley has stepped in otherwiseled things down and we have had a rebound from that, but one point 3% year—on—year growth is nothing to be excited about and that explains why mark carney is moving very very slowly when it comes to those interest rate rises "1.396 comes to those interest rate rises “1.3% year—on—year growth and. what effect is this having on the currency? the pound has been under pressure all week, still languishing in the doldrums at the moment against the dollar and the euro. in the doldrums at the moment against the dollar and the eurom has lost 10% of its value since may against the dollar and 5% against the euro, partly down to mark carney, he has backtracked after being a bit tougher in may, use talking about incremental increases in the cost of borrowing —— he is talking. and the old cliche, business does not like uncertainty and no one knows what the hard brexit would mean and that is why sterling is taking fright at the moment. there is one currency which the sterling is up against, the turki

ashley: no.on't think this has really impacted oil markets because oil markets didn't really expect this 100% to go through. there has been so much doubt. i do think it is definitely a positive that aramco is following through on its plans to diversify in terms of getting into other chemicals and spaces. that is definitely a positive sign for the stability of the company moving forward. julie: ok, let's turn to something that is likely to have an effect on the markets and that is the iran sanctions. and there, we got some news in the fact that the u.s. is planning to release as much as 11 million barrels from the strategic petroleum reserve. how does that play into the oil market the rest of the year? how much does that cushion the effect of the iran sanctions? ashley: not going to love the answer. not a ton. this is part of a budgetary measure already passed. i believe they have to sell about 25 million barrels this fiscal year, so the timing is right at the start of the fiscal year in an effort

ashley: right. i asked you this earlier, john, is it going to get to a trillion dollar valuation, maybe today? >> i don't know about today. i think it possibly could. look at momentum certainly with the stock. i worry about a stock with such a high valuation, 70 times forward multiple. look what amazon is doing. this will be the biggest company in the world for some time, once it gets to the level. it will surpass amazon, not look back. acquisition of soup.com in middle east will compete with walmart around flip card. they are hitting the cloud. they are hitting on all cylinders. i'm worried about valuation. if you worried about valuation a year ago, you missed a doubling in the stock. liz: split and made it cheaper for the little spy to get in, it would hit a trillion fast. stuart: i've been waiting for it to split, back in the day you would split. ashley: get more people. stuart: i haven't heard anything about a plan for a split at this point, anyway. >>> some of the number crunchers at morgan sta

any great surprise that mike ashley came up great surprise that mike ashley came up with the money atith the money at the last-minute? not necessarily. i think this is what he does, isn't it? he waits to the last minute and we have to remember with house of fraser, this has been the case for a long time. we have almost been waiting for the administrators to go into house of fraser and we have seen the poor results in them struggling and he has seen that himself. of course there have been other beats that we have been waiting for that not necessarily materialised and by the time they have the business in order, this is what he does, comes in the last minute and scoops it up and he will feel like he got a bargain and he has been wanting to get into department stores or have more stake in the department stores for a long time. this gives him a perfect opportunity. he has more range than many people might think given the popular image he has with sports direct. french connection, he has an interest in and also this store flannels which many people may not know so much about which perhaps

ashley: no kidding.tuart: you have to tell me about new jersey in light of tax rates. >>> foreign policy, iran says they have taken control of the straits of hormuz. secretary pompeo says, no you don't. here is the tweet. the islamic republic of iran does not control the strait of hormuz. it is an international waterway. the u.s. will continue to work with partners to insure freedom of navigation, and free flow of commerce in the international waterways. walid phares is here. they can't control the strait. the u.s. navy is there. >> iran doesn't control international waterway. they have their own coastal line, a few kilometers into the ocean. so does the gulf countries that international waterway. nobody can control it. if they do, yes, then the united states and the international community automatically will react to this. stuart: this goes back to couple of years ago, three or four years ago, when an american navy boat was intercepted by iranian gunboats. they took them away. took the sailors away. too

ashley: very good.und in the weed killer roundup has been found in rather strange place. ashley: given away in the video. how about your cereals, or lucky charms? there is group, called environmental working group that is actually their maim. tested a bunch of oats, most of these are oat-based materials. they are looking forgly phosphate, found in the weed killer roundup. the farmers spray the weed earlier on the crops pre-harvest. there is belief some will show up in the cereal. they did a bunch of testing. the worst product they found was from quaker old-fashioned oats. levels of 1000 parts per billion. they say that is high. quaker came back and say we proudly stand by the safety and quality of our products. we should point out these levels that you're pointing out are significantly below any regulatory limits. the bottom line is, the environmentalists say, we shouldn't have this showing up at all but the it does. stuart: okay. there is no proven scientific link between cancer and glyphosphate? ashle

mike ashley, the business tycoon and owner of sports direct, buys it for £90 million.for now house of fraser stores around the country are still open, but 17,000 staff wait to find out what the future holds for them. i think we'rejust i think we're just all doing to keep each other up, we are all trying to stay motivated and hope for good outcome. we hope they will find some solution. finally. nothing is finished yet. we'll be analsying what today's deal means for the house of fraser, and the future of the high street. also this lunchtime. britain's feel—good summer boosts the economy. the warm weather and the world cup bring improved growth figures of 0.4%. hundreds of holiday—makers evacuated as flash floods hit the south of france. the england cricketer ben stokes tells his trial in bristol he can't remember knocking out a man in alleged brawl, but he does admit to throwing several punches. and still friends after all these years. more than a decade after it ended, the sitcom is the most popular show for streaming in the uk. and coming up on bbc news: england make a

so, can sports direct‘s mike ashley breathe new life into the brand? house of fraser. it doesn't really, in my mind, really fit together very well. house of fraser has kind of pitched itself as a high end brand, i don't know whether that would maybe devalue it slightly or change its market, or, ultimately, if it keeps the employees in a job, i think it is a good thing. in the short term at least, people here still have theirjobs and belfast still has its flagship department store. emma vardy, bbc news, belfast. our business correspondent emma simpson joins me. how much do we know about what happens now? that is a good question. we have no real details tonight about what he is going to do and crucially how many stores mike ashley is going to keep. all he is saying is he wants to turn house of fraser into the harrods of the high street. a lot of people are wondering, has he bitten off more than he can chew? this is a big, complex business to run and dare i say it, it won't be long before the countdown to the crucial christmas trading, where department st

ashley: so to speak.t: the stock is not down 7%, because of liquor companies getting into cannabis drinks. we shouldn't imply that. there must be other reason. >> in sympathy with the market. stuart: the catch-all phrase. ashley: that will work. stuart: let's get to turkey. that's a problem. they have rejected an appeal to release detained american pastor andrew brunson. turkey also raising tariffs on our products, cars, alcohol and tobacco. christian whiton, is with us, former advisor to president trump. why can't we get the pastor out? turkey is under all kinds of pressure. their economy is really suffering. why can't we get him out? >> like the chinese the turks are only realizing now how serious donald trump is about this and how little leverage they have. you know, you have very strong islamic nationalism. that is what sustained that strong man, erdogan in power, and he is loathe to be seen giving in to the united states but it is hurting his economy dramatically. we saw a dead-cat bounce of lira in

mike ashley is never farfrom selling cheap.r far from the headlines, selling cheap. mike ashley is never farfrom the headlines, often selling cheap. mike ashley is never far from the headlines, often for the wrong reasons. he has certainly done well. his empire includes newcastle united football club and a controlling stake in sports direct with nearly 500 stores and employing nearly 80,000 people. he owns flannels and he has taken a big sta ke flannels and he has taken a big stake in different companies. so what is the up to? he likes to gamble andi what is the up to? he likes to gamble and i would not like to bet against it. these retail expert has worked closely with him. they tried to buy it in 2013. they already owned some premium lifestyle brands but this deal gives him access to the hugo bosses of the world. the big question remains, how many of the 59 stores he wants to trade but this is a once in a lifetime opportunity. mike ashley says he will do his best to keep as many open. some have been earmarked for closures. an

ashley, thank you for being here. be so shocking for you to watch that crash you recorde recorded. >> it's horrifying to think i went true that but it's just good knowing that i made it out alive with minor injury. >> oh, my gosh. it's such a miracle, ashley. can you take us back to that takeoff? what was going through your mind as you were getting ready for takeoff? >> honestly i sensed something happening because from the start the winds were so heavy and the rain was just -- like i said, i was pouring down and that's why i pulled out my camera and when we started going it wasn't five seconds that we were in the air when everything just started going downhill from there. >> so you were taping because you thought the plane was going to crash? >> not that i thought the plane was going to crash, i had never been in a weird feeling. i had never been in a plane taking off in such bad weather so i was like i need to record this. i need to see what's going to happen next because this isn't right. >> did any of the airline

the headlines at 7pm: the struggling department store chain house of fraser is bought by mike ashley's sports direct for £90 million, but what it means for its 16,000 staff is still unclear. i think we're alljust trying to keep each other up, we're all trying to stay motivated and hope for a good outcome. we hope they're going to find some solution, finally. you know, there's nothing finished yet. england cricketer ben stokes tells the jury at his trial he doesn't remember knocking a man unconscious during a fight outside a nightclub last year. a muslim convert is facing life injailfor a plot to kill 1000 people in a terror attack outside the disney store on oxford street. 1600 people have been evacuated from camp sites after flash floods hit the south of france. a 70—year—old german man is missing after his caravan was swept away. a nine—year—old chess prodigy and his family have been allowed to stay in the uk. his father's work visa was due to expire next month. and despite billions invested into new tv programmes, a 24—year—old sitcom is the most popular show across streaming servic

ashley, let's start with you.hat do you think is behind this delay, and are there implications for saudi arabian -- for saudi arabia production at all as a result of this? ashley: this delay is not unexpected. i think even when they announced it two years ago, people were skeptical that saudi arabia would be willing to give up the confidentiality they have always valued in favor of a short term cash infusion. they have found a better way, and that is more money in the p.i.f., and they can do that by funding the salvo petro chemical field. and with some investment petrochemicals. it brings money into the country, and it doesn't require that they open the books and follow a lot of international regulations. julie: in that case, why even consider the aramco i.p.o. in the first place if there were better ways for them to spend their money and raise capital? how th javier: you need to put that in the context of what -- at the point of the start of this process, was the crown prince. he wanted to shock the economy. he w
