but here you are on the battlegrounds, every day, fighting against big agriculture, fighting againstfighting for this beautiful body of water. but the real hero here, yeah, you a little bit, but even more so than that, i am the one who is showcasing you. so if anything, i am the hero. and that is why i love this story. so maybe a person can make a difference. and maybe a lake can become a person. and maybe it it can even get married to the handsome, sensitive correspondent who saved it. >> i do. >> because true love is pure, it is deep, it is clear, it is perfect and it tastes sweet. aaah, bla imrks gh, why didn't you tell me there is something wrong with this water.

agriculture? guest: it's a big deal for agriculture which is why so many different agricultural groups have endorsed it from the dairy council to different growers. certainly wine will benefit. in my state of washington, wine is a big export crop or export item. for instance british columbia , does not allow u.s. wines to be displayed on their normal wine shelves. it has to be almost displayed in secret. so that will remove some of the barriers. some of the disincentives and some of the favoritism that canada has given to their agricultural industry, there their dairy industry will go away and they've really had some tough measures that have made it hard for u.s. agriculture dairy, poultry, and eggs to get into canada. a lot of those barriers are being removed. host: a couple points about automobiles as part of the proposed deal. members must prove 75% of an automobile to be tariff free and at least 40% of a car must be made by workers earning at least $16 an hour. some big provisions regarding autos. right? guest: yes. at least 75% of an automobile must be made within north america. in order to not

accumulated a fair amount of non—performing assets, bad loans, and that needs to be addressed and agriculture is another big productivity back into the agriculture area, farmers getting more income, and water will bea getting more income, and water will be a big challenge in the coming yea rs. be a big challenge in the coming years. trade has been... there's been quite a bit of friction between india and the us, are you worried about escalating tensions? not really. while there are some issues that come up from time to time, fundamentally the us india relationship is on a sound footing. mike pompeo was in india a week or so mike pompeo was in india a week or so back and they had good discussions. work these as has hit big it companies particularly quite hard, what should be done? a few years back there was a decision to set up local centres and they made a commitment to allow 10,000 people in the us, and we are working very closely with local governments in the us, local governors and cities and our work the us, local governors and cities and ourworki the us, local governors and cities and our work i think

also that beijing won't follow through on big agriculture purchases until it gets clarity on the trumpion's huawei reprieve. it doesn't sound very hopeful. to me it sounds like maybe, based on some of these comments from chinese officials, they are miscalculating or misreading the u.s. stance on this again. what does it mean for these talks? >> well, this has been a constant theme the last few months of each side misreading the other. china would love to see a deal where the tariffs are removed immediately. you might as well ask for that, but that doesn't mean you'd settle for only that then a stage reduction later my guess is that would probably be enough for the chinese even though right now they sound more bellicose. the talks are restarting, you know, very shortly at an early stage. so i'm not surprised we are hearing sort of aggressive noise frz both sides staking out their positions and maybe for the domestic audience sounding griet aggressive i think it comes down to the anytime nitty-gritty, both sides want a deal very badly. it's hurting farming it's hurting manufacturing it's

the 8 years agricultural policy rewards big farms like burdick owned which is run by or buy in here which most farms don't turn a profit today one half of europe's total farm land is owned by just under 3 percent of all farm businesses. the e used top priority is to provide maximum crop yield so that farmers can compete with cheaper produce on the world market there's not much money left to promote organic farming. the e.u.'s agricultural policy has led to the creation of large tracts of farmland that often lie empty. the use of chemical herbicides like life or say it has turned fields into reddish brown deserts. the e.u.'s common agricultural policy may be responsible for killing off large numbers of birds and useful insects. we've come to north western germany to meet some environmentalists who are waiting for lap wings to return from their winter migration the birds come here to breed since the 1990 s. the left wing population has declined by nearly 90 percent in this area the environmentalists are concerned about that. step festus it's clear to me that the fate of the human race is mo

the tysons of the world, the other big agriculture companies jump in. >> i think tyson is launching one nestle is out there with a product i think theirs are a hybrid, part plant thing look at dunkin' donuts, 9,000 stars in the u.s if you are happy and same-store sales are growing, you're not taking it out. the other retailers will have to have an offering at some point. >> bret, thank you. >> thank you for having me. >> appreciate it >> coming up, proctor & gamble numbers are hitting. with the company ceo right after the break. woman: my reputation was trashed online. i felt completely helpless. my entire career and business were in jeopardy. i called reputation defender. they were able to restore my good name. if you are under attack, i recommend calling reputation defender. vo: there's more negativity online than ever. reputation defender ensures that when people check you out, they'll find more of the truth, not trash. if you have search results that are wrong or unfair, visit reputationdefender.com or call 1-877-866-8555. ♪ >>> live from the beating heart of business, new york, thi

anna: a different story to agriculture. the other biggenda is the fed rate today and how that will support the market on a day where it could be risk off on trade tensions. expectation is for a cut. i was interested about your rationale for cutting at the point. some of the data doesn't justify a cut that you pointed my attention to u.s. debt servicing costs, households and corporate and it is not as if companies and households are paying too much tomorrow at this point. what is the rationale they will give us? what is the explanation for cutting rates? benjamin: the real rationale is the markets. markets have pushed the fed into cutting. has never disappointed when the market priced in this much of a cut. it would be a shock to markets if the fed did not cut rates. in terms of the real economy, no. strong,ales are consumer spending, consumer confidence numbers were strong again yesterday. home sales are very strong and the chart we highlight here shows debt servicing costs are low. it is not the similar for u.s. corporates. u.s. househo

our contacts in big business and agriculture report heightens concerned over trade development. these may have contributed to the drop in business confidence in recent surveys and may be showing through to incoming data. for example, the limited available evidence we have suggest that is investment by businesses has slowed from the pace earlier this year. against the back drop of heightened uncertainties, the baseline outlook of my fomc colleagues remains favorable with unemployment remaining near historic lows. inflation expected to return 2% over time but at a somewhat slower pace than we foresaw earlier this year. however, the risks to this favorable baseline outlook appear to have grown. last week my fomc colleagues and myself held our regular meeting to assess the stance of monetary policy. we did not change the setting for the main policy tool target rate for the federal freely, voluntarily and understandingly rate but we did make changes to the policy statement. since the beginning of the weier we have been taking a patient stance toward assess the need for policy change.

agricultural industry says could be ‘catastrophic‘. despite the warnings, the welsh secretary, alun cairns, said he is confident that global markets beyond the eu will provide big for british agriculture and business. when you look at the global growth over the next ten years, 90% of that will come from outside the european union. we clearly want to access the largest slice of that possible but it also doesn't mean that we want to close our door or turn our backs on the market in europe. our wales correspondent tomos morgan is in cardiff. what kind of reception as the prime minister getting? it has been a fairly bumpy tour for the new prime minister so far fairly bumpy tour for the new prime ministerso far in fairly bumpy tour for the new prime minister so far in scotland yesterday and today in wales. you mention the issue regarding the possibility of what would happen if ano possibility of what would happen if a no deal scenario were to happen and the impact on meat producers across the uk, lamb export a huge pa rt across the uk, lamb export a huge part of the agriculture economy here in wales, and later this evening, borisjohnson will be meeting the first min

if you look at methane from the global perspective, actually, agriculture is also a very big contributor from livestock and also from rice production is another big source. >> in the so-called green energy field, what's the -- what's getting close to being competitive with natural gas, say, and with coal? is it solar? is it wind? >> sure. i would say probably solar power would be number one then wind power. there's certainly a lot of development and interest from states on developing clean energy sources and i think that's also important to note in the face of this rule that states can still continue to take stricter action and that is happening in some places in our country. >> so nothing in this rule prohibits that -- >> right. >> -- or wouldefforts. >> that's right. the only difference is they can't use those efforts toward compliance. if they do decide they want to switch for other reasons, then they can do that. >> here's brad. he's in winthrop, maine. winthrop, maine. brad, go ahead. independent line. >> caller: hi. i wondered if being from maine, especially, skauro-called the tail

that those are in big cities because republicans generally have their base in rural areas and there are plenty of undocumented immigrants in those rural areas performing agricultural and other jobs but in the big cities those are generally run by democrats and that is part of the reason that the president seems to be targeting those specific cities places like los angeles houston new york baltimore chicago in the mayors of those cities are fighting back the mayor of chicago has denied the immigrations and customs enforcement agency from having the police databases to use to track down these people other mayors are warning people that they don't have to let these ice officials in unless they have a warrant with their name on it that allows them to enter the home still in the u.s. tropical storm barry has inundated parts of the state of louisiana as it moves slowly inland tens of thousands of lost power in the coast guard has rescued dozens of people trapped in flooded houses. so it's not the age of when it happened you know . it gets worse. a bit out of town for. the want to keep. and as a teacher you know i'm going to want. to go material just the way. a magnitude

how important is this to agriculture? >> it's a bigfor agriculture which is why so many different agricultural groups have endorsed it from the dairy council to different growers. benefit. wine will in my state of washington wine is a big export crop or export item. allowh columbia does not u.s. wines to be displayed on their normal wine shelves. displayed inalmost secret. so that will remove some of the barriers. some of the disincentives and the favoritism that canada has given to their agricultural industry will go away and they've really had some tough have made it hard for u.s. agriculture dairy, poultry and eggs to get into canada. a lot of those barriers are being removed. host: a couple points about automobiles as part of the proposed deal. 75% of anst prove automobile to be tariff free and at least 40% of a car must be made by workers earning at least $16 an hour. some big provisions regarding autos. >> yes. at least 75% of an automobile must be made within north america. in order to not be subject to duties which simply incre

big agenda. they'll talk about agriculture, how many soy beans they'll buy and they'll talk about huawei and whatr government will allow our tech companies to supply them. i think that will probably be it there's a new player the new player is the head of mofcom, ministry of commerce he's a little tougher. but it's good they get together. the biggest weakness we had is that our team had so little china experience before this they have been there enough times that they're starting to get to know the place. i think that's a very good thing. >> what exactly does the united states want? we know they want intellectual property protections is there anything more specific than that that the group can float out to the chinese and say, listen, you give us this and we can make a deal >> no. there was a deal in february almost and the basic parts have been well known for a long time dealing with tariffs and intellectual property and property rights and things like that the two hangups have been number one verification, which means our guys want to wander around china with clipboards checking on them. their

as you mentioned, agriculture would be a big thing for the u.s., or soybeans., what they really of productsde range that huawei could buy from silicon valley without much obstruction. that seems like a possible deal towards the end of this coming week. that, it will take more negotiations. in terms of the negotiations, the chinese have changed their team to some regard. we have seen the chinese commerce minister will be sitting at the table, he has a reputation as being a hardliner. does it change the picture in terms of the hopes for a successful round? the key figures are president xi and president trump and the others are the negotiating people at the table but they are not the deciders. yes, china will put on a hard front and want all of the u.s. tariffs to be removed which is not going to happen, and the u.s. has a long list of demands which you are familiar with on china. that is not going to happen either. both presidents have an interest in not further escalating the trade war. on the other hand they are not really ready to make a big deal itch amounts

that means agriculture policy or the big farm bill will have the incentive in their to pull the carbon out of the air and the procurement process because we know big companies change their requirements like walmart said no more antibiotics and chicken if everybody changes their policy this is great. [laughter] but we are some of the biggest of the military supply chain we are the biggest of those that there are but literally we could change the regulation we have so much leveraging power. [applause] i will give you one more thing. two out of four candidates say i will be joined the paris accord we need to do more. could out of the campaign if it up pledging to do that. every one of those dollars should be leverage so other countries can join on the plan and the trade policy when i'm your president that's why will operate. because nato is about the common defense nato's policies have to be the greatest immediate threat we have two climate change. this is not a separate issue. with everything that we do this is by greenpeace the two best candidates are me and greenpeace are me and greenp

agriculture has a lot. to do with people's attitudes. with a big. conference or big friend i regret. it for you would you. pass by that i had noticed here is that these farmers have a different mentality. understand that they're part of nature. or might be something to do with their fates but they respect nature. and i was decent and because of that they can't really imagine using agro toxin eyes and artificial fertilisers dillard's as it's. chemical free farming in a vision that seacom is making reality. here at another research institute staff and farmers have gathered to meet the man who led sea km's reinvention as a model organic state pub uncharming was india's longest serving chief minister and he is the son of farmers and travels regularly through the state drumming up support for his mission. good group of the. community chris waiting farmers to dispense with pesticides and artificial fertilisers wasn't easy at 1st for more than 40 years conventional farming was the norm here as it is across the rest of the country. their pov on chumming is playing the long game it was very hot. the. used to say.

britain can achieve when it comes to agriculture and this is the kind of thing he will be spelling out tomorrow but when it comes to farming and brexit, there are big of the common agricultural policy. that subsidy base that farmers are used to. he's got to offer something pretty innovative and something we've never heard of before to try and convince farmers that brexit can work in their favour. he got quite a lot of kisses on social media for this jacket. in case you forgot what his job was, he put the word by minister on his coat. people thought downing street had gone to the bother of making him a special coat with his job title on it but it's transpired it isa job title on it but it's transpired it is a royal navy coat and they have just stuck prime minister on it using velcro. it'sjust in case he gets mistaken. it's hard to pick out ina gets mistaken. it's hard to pick out in a crowd. it's because no-one can quite believe what they are saying, borisjohnson as prime minister. quite believe what they are saying, boris johnson as prime minister. he looked like a bit of a dork, really. not to put too fine a point on it. we might have wellies, we

agriculture. that causing such a big degree of carbon? >> the math category is a variety of things. when you clear land you are , taking the carbon stored. you are releasing all of that. another thing, the grass eating species have a digestion system that emits methane. methane is a very powerful greenhouse gas. cows alone account for about six -- 6% of global emissions. we need to change. cows alone. >> however going to do that? actually, of all the categories, the one that has gone better than i would have expected five years ago is this work to make this meat. you have people like impossible. or beyond meet, both of which i invested in. you go to burger king and buy the impossible burger. it is slightly healthier for you in terms of less cholesterol. it is a dramatic reduction in methane emissions. animal cruelty. manure management. the pressure that meat consumption puts on land use. the main reason we need to increase the output of the rest of this entry is not the population increase. it is that as countries get richer, they eat more meat. is a very inefficient way of creating

i mean our agricultural policy. the big farm bills will have incentives in their to pull carbon out of the air which means our procurement processes -- some of you know that big companies changed their required supply chain requirements. walmart said no more antibiotics in chicken. iss is a great time -- she throwing water at you for crying out loud. military supply chains. we should right into our procurement regulations, policy clicks where you have more chance to win a contract. we have so much more leveraging power. let me give you one more thing. this is where i get a little cantankerous. i am sorry. presidentialor a candidate that says they are going to rejoin the paris climate. need to do is more on foreign policy. we give hundreds of billions of dollars in foreign aid and every one of those dollars should be conditioned and leveraged to get other countries in on a climate change plan. if i am your president, that is how i will operate. our alliances -- nato is about common defense. about policy has to be the greates

healthth, and fossil fuel extraction and production and consumption is a big part of the pollution here in the valley and worldwide. agriculturethe base economy here in the city of arvin. now it's primarily a hispanic community. over 95%. it is a very young city. surprisingly, over 60% of the population is underer the age of 30. and d so, when you look at my age andnd u look k at other young peoplple n thee city council, you realize that we're acactually verery representative of the e city as a whohole. all riright. see u guys later. essentialally, what t the oil ad gas ordinance that we e adopted isis, it createtes setbtback, ad what that means i is no new oill develolopment can occur within 0 feet of sensitive uses--homes, schools, , parks, hosospitals. my position was not to stick it to oil workers or because i'm against the oil induststry. it's because e i want to prottt the h health and safety of my community. that's s why i supported t the ordininance, bee i believe that it's imperative that we take this action for the sake of our economy, for the sake of o our future. man: arvin is one step closer to imposing new regula

big attraction. it celebrates the agricultural heritage of the town and it raises money for local nonprofits.bly wonderful family friendly event. and this is the last place anyone would want to imagine such a horrible thing happening. >> we have a tweet there on our screen right there from the gilroy police confirming that this is still an active crime scene meaning that this shooter or the shooters, we just don't know how many, has not been apprehended. and also announcing that they will have an update soon. this should be the first from the police. so, let's read it right here. as a reminder, please do not come to christmas hill park. that is where the festival took place. this is still an active crime scene. we'll be sharing information with the media soon, and thank you for your patience during this rapidly evolving situation. back to you mayor. how important was the response that gilroy being a town of 50,000 got support from san jose and other areas? >> well, it's pretty common for all the cities and towns to rely on mutual aide when something this awful happens. and we're always happy

that is a big word, and that is something with this animal agriculture, you kept hearing about it. animal agriculture is an example of the larger problem of how we measure our emissions using the boundary of our city. we have tremendous impact over what we buy, what we consume, what we eat. so tackling things that aren't necessary, like single use items, figuring out how we tackle the issue of convenience is very important, and we're going to need the courage of the elected officials. se secondly, on the three items that are hardest to tackle, we know we need to electrify existing buildings. we cannot have that cost be passed on to people that cannot afford it, so thinking creatively how we fund that is going to be watched, frankly, from around the world because every city has that challenge. we need and i need help. and thirdly, the thing that is just not news to anyone in this

booker: that means our agricultural policy, our big farm bill, to pull carbon out of the air, that meansprocurement processes. some of you know big big policies to change requirements, like walmart says no more antibiotics in chicken, to force every company to change the policies. they are throwing water you come up for crying out loud. [laughter] sen. booker: we actually are of the biggest institutions there are pure military supply chains, we should right into our haverement regulations you a better chance of getting a contract if you are green. we have so much leveraging power in every department that i have. and let me say one more thing. i am sorry, this is where i get a little cantankerous. do not applaud a candidate on our side of the aisle if they say "i and going to rejoin the climate accord." we need to do more on for policy. we get hundreds of billions of dollars in foreign aid. every one of those dollars should be conditioned and leveraged to get other countries to join our climate plan. our trade policies should do climate at the center. our alliances. if nato is about the c

big scientific leap. they went to the u.s. department of agriculture to the research lab of the agricultural research service at the usda. there they unpacked their freeze dried vials of this mold and they got to work figuring out how to devise a method for industrial scale production of this medical treatment they had just invent eed based on penicillin. the scientists got to work on it immediately. they tried a gozillion different things and ultimately in short order, they did it. they were using 10,000 gallon vats and obscure corn sugars and different temperature and humidity controls. by the time u.s. soldiers were joining the allied land invasion of europe on d-day, june of 1944, part of what they had on their side in the war effort were tens of thousands of doses of penicillin. by 1945, british news reels were reporting on u.s. mass production of the most important medical advance of the war. >> industrial monument to the miracle drug. mass production penicillin plant of terre haute, indiana where the medicine is being manufactured wholesale. you

very uncomfortable and that's why the aid has come in through the back door from the agriculture department. i think the big question now, and poppy you've covered this stuff and know it very well, how long does this go? i think there's not a lot of optimism even though a lot of officials are heading over there. what is the breaking or tipping point for those who are wary of how long this will go? the u.s. economy is probably in a position to outlast china but that doesn't make it any easier for the people on the ground that need the aid. >> the president brings up what is a genuine concern that china waits out the trump presidency just to see if he is reelected, because why make a costly deal with trump if you have a perception you might get a better deal after the election. the president has made baseless allegations of corruptions or crime before. you can think of a few, perhaps saying that ted cruz's father was somehow involved in the kennedy assassination. here we have a u.s. president accusing a sitting congressman of taking or stealing billions of dollars in federal aid without basis. how do you resp

which is a big desire on the part of our agricultural industry. u.s.uto workers are very much in favor of this. look, nancy pelosi doesn't want to give president trump a win, but on the other hand i'm not so sure that they wants to give the progressive wing of her party a big win here either. she is trying to sort of make sure they know who is boss. to some degree i think that could work in favor of the administration getting this thing done. charles: liz, if the idea, if the question is who is boss, i think it would be the american people. >> yes. charles: i'm really hoping this isn't coming down to her game theory between president trump and these progressives who are trying to usurp their power. this word that mnuchin, nancy pelosi, spoke for 20 minutes this afternoon. steve mnuchin out today, the government runs out of money in september. they're talking about raising the debt ceiling. we remember last time this went around. it was a major political snafu. what are your feeling this going through smoothly some time, this debt ceiling hike? >> it wo

agriculture, the chinese being a big importer of u.s. crops, those are also playing a factor too.strials we do not have chemicals exposure. companies that have more defendable -- dependable profit. the profit outlook has been lowered severely. to give up margin to maintain sales in chemicals, whereas other industrials may be more defendable. anna: deutsche bank was a big story out of germany. your take, 48 hours after the announcement from deutsche bank on the scale of restructuring and the goals behind it. the market took a dim the view. -- dim view. 2022 fourhey say result is a long time. the market would prefer a quicker return on decisions they will make. 18,000 employees is huge, almost as big as lehman before the financial crisis. anna: it is reminiscent of the people leaving with boxes. patrick: we have been attracted img, and banks and bonds out of lloyd's in recent weeks. it stays as a 7% yield right now. we would rather not chase the upside in banks, but capture the high dividends. what is the risk with that? what is the risk people will counter? patrick: a big recession

don't ever do that -- they will not stop the runoff from industry coming down into the water, agricultural, big corporations, the pollution continues to this day. it is polluting the air. the air is unbelievable. a business owner at the white house event said when it comes to algae, he has seen a reduction. caller: they are lying very well. we have a president that lies. you don't think the people under him or not lying? host: this was a separate business owner from florida. caller: when facts are looking you in the face, face them. these trump people -- [indiscernible] stanley, erie, pennsylvania, republican. hi. ok.er: guys talking about this weather we haven't all this climate control and everything else, you know, this, you know, look in the bible, and basically, this stuff is happening right now because of what is happening, what's going to be happening in future. host: how does that deal with trump environmental policy today? caller: it all has to do with it. what trump is doing, the climate control, that he, the earthquakes, all the stuff, has to do with signs of what is to come, and tha

seacom became the world's 1st region to switch to 100 percent organic agriculture has a lot to do with people's attitudes. to the big. friends or big friends. if you would. pass by that i had noticed here is that these farmers have a different mentality. that they're part of nature. or might be something to do with their fates at all but they respect nature. and i was the same as because of that they can't really imagine using agro toxin eyes and artificial fertilisers dillard's as it's. chemical free farming a vision that seacom is making reality. here at another research institute staff and farmers have gathered to meet the man who led seacom is reinvention as a model organic state. he was in the longest serving chief minister. he is the son of farmers and travels regularly through the state drumming up support for his mission. to persuading farmers to dispense with pesticides and artificial fertilisers wasn't easy at 1st for more than 40 years conventional farming was the norm here as it is across the rest of the country. pop on channeling is playing the long game it was very hard to be. used to sadly. most it wa
