listen n. '98 he swam across the atlantic from massachusetts to france but the pacific has never been done before and for eight hours a day he'll be in water swimming more than 5,000 miles. this morning, the swimmer who already conquered the atlantic 20 years ago begins a truly unthinkable swim. the rough seas of the pacific ocean from tokyo to san francisco. overnight beginning his swim off the coast of japan and broadcasting on facebook live. >> there we go. he's starting. >> ben is starting his swim. >> reporter: ben lecomte beginning the swim side by side with his two children speaking with us just moments before taking that plunge. >> there's more than one challenge. on the top of the list you have the water. the cold water. >> reporter: lecomte's journey 5,500 miles, 6 months, 8 hours a day at a time. >> i have to eat 8,000 calories per day so if i don't eat it lose quite a bit of en i'm weig sthatll. >> rter: he fastle the pacific's rough weather,

then around cape horn, up the south atlantic and that across the north atlantic. the voyage would take at least ten through 12 months. the biggest threat in theory at the beginning was the italian because they had a 60 foot boat. we had to put out into lisbon early on. after that, the most experienced sailor was the frenchman. he had a bigger boat than me. so he knew what he was taking on, therefore he was the threat as far as i could was concerned. did they put any conditions or restrictions on your? they try to. they said initially the race would start on the 31st of october and i said good luck. they said what do you mean? i said i'm going with the ist of june. they said you won't be able to be in our race and i said while you're catching on fast. what they couldn't grasp is that suhaili is not a fast boat. you've got to look at cape horn and you want to pass that in mid—summer, to do that i had to leave injune. if i left in october i be going around cape horn in the coming of winter and it's a dangerous place at the best of times and even worse in winter. and

glamplese of some of the instruments that were use is by the captains as they were navigating the atlantic city observation. this gives you a cross section of what the ship would have looked like on the inside and what the cargo would have been and here we are a travelogue by a young man who came to new this is a 1721 and watercolor that he drew at the ships gathered at the mouth of the mississippi river and in the foreground you can see a tiny little shim. this is an example of how people and cargo would have actually made it up to new orleans. the big shims themselves when they arrived at the mouth of the mississippi river were usually too help and deep into the waters to make it up the mississippi river so all the cargo and people would have to be taken off also an outpost-- outpost at an island and once the ships were lighter in the waters then they could make their way you. we're looking at a map of the belize, which was an island outpost where all the people, cargo and enslaved captain activities would be uploaded when they arrived at the mouths of the mississippi river. they would b

a difficult position right now aren't you i mean if you have the title here coordinator of trans atlantic cooperation trump doing what he promised when he got to do when he got elected basically getting hard on europe getting hard on you know countries and blocks that are traditionally seen as allies how are you now have a gating that well what gives me hope though is given all this things that we have on the table iran tariff burden sharing not seem to want to know this what gives me hope is everybody senators representatives present is off the off the administration. are emphasizing how important transatlantic relations are to them so that sometimes you wonder why then it comes everything together in such a close period of time but they say they are strongly believing in a strong trans-atlantic relations so this gives me hope and also those positive signals when it comes to a you know revisiting relaunching something that we call back that he did negotiations i don't see it right now there are other issues on the table but they want to talk about fair and free trade across the atlantic

after that, it did not matter how many ships those u-boats sunk in the north atlantic. obviously it mattered to the men suppliesships and the they carried, but it would not avail the germans of their goal which was to cut the lifeline to britain. they could never get ahead of american production. with this dramatic infusion of maritime assets, the allies went on the offensive. the initiative in 1943, and they never let go of it. here is another example of how world war ii at sea was a global phenomenon. just as most of you have heard of guadalcanal, i suspect all of you have heard of d-day. steven spielberg and tom hanks probably had a lot to do with a new generation being introduced to the horrors of omaha beach and the landings. the armada that carried them to the beach provided naval gunfire support and most importantly, not only carried them to the beach but kept them reinforced and resupplied. and the armada necessary to do that was unprecedented in size. counting armed landing craft, those ships numbered over 6000. to operate for months. the insion of nazi-occupie

proceeddid not separately in the atlantic and pacific or the mediterranean for that matter. it took place everywhere all at once. and it underscores how precarious the state of allied shipping was in that difficult summer of 1942. the 18 transports at guadalcanal thejapanese mist, the 14 in mediterranean formed a full of -- formed a pool of shipping resources. this problem would go away gradually, especially because of american ship holding capabilities. this is most evident in the battle of the atlantic between german u-boats and allied convoys. howcan see in this chart the number of ships built by the and mostly by the united states, over 90% by the united states, grew exponentially through 1943, while the number of ships and mostly by the unitd sunk declined in those same years. new technology, better escorts, better protocols in the convoys allowed us to fend off u-boats but shipbuilding in the united states allowed the allies to get ahead of this issue. we also built them. we built ships faster than the submarines could sink them. here is a dramatic illustration. i like

it is the jet stream that drives in the low—pressure systems across the atlantic.e unsettled. what that basically means is that the jet stream will drive these areas of low pressure in from the atlantic, as you can see, one clears away before another one moves in. the low—pressure will stay to the north and west. that means the wettest and windiest of the weather is always likely to be across parts of scotland and northern ireland. further south we will have slightly lighter winds and rain not as significant. looking ahead, it does look as though the far north—west will see the wettest and windiest of the weather. further south and east, it stays dry and warm at times. we will keep you updated on further developments. tonight at ten, donald trump is in singapore for his eagerly anticipated summit with kim jong un. is in singapore for his eagerly both both men are confident progress can be made. the president hopes the talks will lead to north korea giving up its nuclear weapons. will lead to north korea giving while mr kim wants security guarantees, and the end of

thank you peter the discussion so far seems to seem has avoided the theme from atlantic to pacific i just want to reset point yeah i want to pick up on this idea of a parallel world of business and transactions and i think that's a very valid a deer things have become different from the cold war times we don't have a classic called war we have a confrontation between at the top level between the governments and still a lot of contacts a lot of interaction but of meetings and so on between the societies and that's a quality you feature and it also applies to business because we have a cold war or an appearance of a color but the business still still don't go there is the issue of sanctions which is extremely important and which actually spoils a big distinction of a parallel world which is independent of politics i've been speaking to quite a few people in the european union and at the very top level and i say are you against sanctions or yes we are very much against sanctions so please say to the council of the of the european union say well maybe the italians do that will. well supp

in pin in divorce with a key feel to the viking left by the superpower on the other side of the atlantic but i would like to quickly come back to your question of trust and bring up one fact as an investor and part of the group of my professional people having our own crystal ball so looking into the future having our models and allies in corporations companies how to preserve wealth and purchasing power for decades ahead investors do not. feel the same cries is the new display a new gloom if you look at financial markets bond yields are very low equity valuations are very high so investors a happy company investing at record levels banks who are recently where sold off it don't know as. existing profession turning out the center turn on equity wanted in soft assets so financial markets are doing well so i frankly think that a lot of this trust crisis is more of a political. phenomenon where politicians use that record it's addressing that of the mistake using the weapon of sanctions as more than retorts i agree it's very serious and it's a form of warfare but i think people underestimat

to host the twentieth the world cup and i can only imagine and i know what my friends across the atlantic are now feeling having received these news it's breakfast time in america obviously so that's a good way to kick start the day again as you mentioned very little surprise about that most of the odds were on the side of the north american bid morocco's bid as passionate as it was as passionate the presentation of that that was here at the expo center during the fee for congress with the. bottom line being that it's time for africa with only one world cup ever hosted on the continent still the team of experts from fifi evaluated morocco's bit and it just barely passed the evaluation the overall score was two point seven with the needed two point zero to be able to participate while the north american bid scored four so i guess this is very this comes of very little surprise and obviously there will be a lot of jubilation across the atlantic especially considering the fact that infrastructure wise there's not much to be done in terms of the north american bid and it is a lot to be done a

for the trans-atlantic relations iran nuclear dear the current tariff conflict in north korean two and some other things so that that is on the table we have to deal with this why can't the europeans seem to outsmart donald trump i mean because up until yesterday the u.s. commerce secretary wilbur ross he. that the u.s. is willing to negotiate so who's dropping the ball here europe or the u.s. and i wouldn't i wouldn't say that it's you know one playing against a ball against each other the other but. it's true there have been a lot of negotiations going on before it's not that nobody was talking to anybody until the very last minute for example the german economic mr peter altmire asked how say you commissioner cecilia monstre a lot of people have negotiated and tried everything to prevent these you know from from happening what we see now that june first the terror some plan of a steel and aluminum this is not a game this is not a good signal not not good for the trans-atlantic relations not good for the economy so on and i think we have to go shit and talk further what is europe not
