to both sides, and i suspect both will come back to the negotiating table next year and do their bested it most. ourjob is at stake here on both sides? absolutely. as i say, our economies are so absolutely. as i say, our economies are so intertwined, anything that makes it more difficult to trade will have an impact on the economy and onjobs. will have an impact on the economy and on jobs. any idea of the scale of that? difficult to say at the moment, but i think there are some worrying predictions. the governor of the bank of england has said this will be worse for the economy than covid—19, so i think we are looking at quite a serious situation, but one where i think both sides will still want to have a dialogue and to try and get things moving in the right direction. finally, in the next three weeks till the end of this year, are there preparations for no—deal if they decide that on sunday or the start of next week that have to be done at the sort of technical level too? absolutely. i think both sides had been preparing for a long time for this, actually, so for a long time for thi

welcome to you both.the eye, all of the front pages hurriedly rewritten in the past couple of hours while it emerged mercy of these talks had broken off quite suddenly. the brexit talks go to the wire, rachel what do you make of this? and negotiation turned sour or is this more high street high—stakes brinkmanship?m or is this more high street high-stakes brinkmanship? it does sound like a bit of a order which is what you expected this stage of the negotiations. both sides basically making the most possible demands in the hope of eventually reaching a new agreement. that said it's true that both the uk chief negotiator david frost and the eu counterpart michel barnier have issued a joint statement saying there still significant emergence, quote, and there's taking a pause to collect their respective sites and partners to figure out whether there's room to figure out whether there's room to move on these red lines that seem to move on these red lines that seem to be sticking. they are both saying that they

very liked by both parties and very well respected in both buildings, as well. in the last couple of weeks a couple of names have floated out. jeh johnson former head for president obama and former counsel at the pentagon ask it was the lead internally there for repealing the don't ask, don't tell policies and his name has floated up as a top tier contender and the other name that came out last week is the retired army general and former head of u.s. central command for 2013 to 2016 and the interesting thing with off the sin that he would require just as secretary mattis did a waiver because if you are a former general and you are active within the last seven years, which he was, you require a waiver from both the house and the senate. full majority from those chambers to make that happen. that's a tricky proposition given the current makeup and republicans who mae not want to throw the new administration a bone and democrats who say why are we putting another general in for those? and also because we want to get out of wars in the middle east which he essential

both friends and colleagues. i think that group is very much representative of the scene you just laid out and they are the themes of this great democratic experience that we here in and they're the themes of this great democratic experience that we here in america undertake and have undertaken for the last 240 years. but it is a bipartisan group and if i can just add a p.s. on my personal bio, as everyone who knows me well, not only do i do national security and foreign policy, but having served and worked on the hill, and i have a very much, in my d.n.a., the essence of bipartisanship. for me, looking at this biden transition and where we're going with that transition, it's very much anchored in the clarity of what i call roles and responsibilities. and those roles and responsibilities are on behalf of all of us. as americans. and we're all standing together, because as you said so well, we're faced with challenges here in america. but they're global challenges. so america's leadership will be executed with the

both sides hailed it a success.was a long and winding road, but we have got a good deal to show for it. it is fair, it is a balance deal. and it is the right and responsible thing to do for both sides. lam very i am very pleased to tell you this afternoon that we have completed the biggest trade deal yet worth £660 billion a year, a comprehensive canada style, free trade deal between the uk and the eu. the final hurdle was access to fishing waters. so what does this deal mean for the fleets on either side of the channel? what the brexit deal means for business, trade and travel? we'll unpick the details for you. four and a half years after britain voted to leave the eu, a post—brexit trade deal has finally been agreed. borisjohnson said britain had achieved a 600 and 60 billion pound per year trade agreement — which would protectjobs. but the opposition labour party said the deal was thin and did not provide adequate protections for financial services and workers. one of the main stumbling blocks was fishing quotas.

economies on both sides i'll see you next hour about. in the art of climate change. africa's most of. what's in store. for the future. e.w. dot com the 2nd major cities to the call to get inside. the counter. and you know here's here's we're going to do you and how to last year's german sauce and i want to bring you i'm going to makeover as you've never heard.

this whole business of a level playing field, as both sides wa nt to level playing field, as both sidesl a sticking point. if there is no deal, what happens? then there is significant change with how the uk changes with its nearest neighbours in three and a half weeks. the deal will feel very different to the existing arrangement, whether the uk is in the two big economic projects of the european union and the single market of the customs union. big changes coming regardless. if there is an ideal scenario where the uk trading under world trade organization rules, it will change things profoundly. not least the existence of tariffs, import taxes on lots of goods that go back and forth between the uk and europe. it would, without doubt, be a big bump and it would also be a politicalfailure on both sides. so even though there are big gaps still between the uk and the eu, the fact that both sides want a deal and certainly in the short term, the deal would be economically in both sides' interests and both sides think there is a prospect of finding a way to a deal. if they didn't think that,

both sides, both sides should come together and negotiate a covertly built in a bipartisan way. that meets the needs of our businesses, our schools, our healthcare systems, our workers, our families. at the start of this crisis democrats came together in a flurry of negotiations i was involved with them with secretary mnuchin to pass the bill that truly met the moment. now we are about to reach a new more difficult stage of the crisis. we need to renew that spirit, that urgency, that bipartisanship. leader mcconnell's view just stayed a few minutes ago seems to be that the only things that should be in this bill are things republicans approve of, even if the needs of the country, the desperate needs of the countryon are beyond the sml list that republicans might support. and that is not real compromise. we need to come together, both sides must give. we have democratic house, and in the senate doesn't need for democratic votes to pass any bill. so we needed to bipartisan bill, not this is our bill, take it or leave it. that can bring usr together, can solve the desperate needs o

as being for both of these bills. it gives me great pleasure to introduce senator mark warner who has been one of the leaders of this effort. mark. >> well, thank you, susan. let me, first of all, to joe and susan, joe has been relentless about evening your eye on the ball, but keep this product moving forward. hate to acknowledge he was right more often than not let a little grass grow under our feet we might not be here. and to susan who has been a fiery advocate for small business, this ppp proposal takes great ideas for advancing the first cares bill and refines them to, i think, into an even stronger package. she's done a great job on outdoor venues and other venues, the stages. they and everyone in this group have been extraordinary. to josh and tom, too, and i think-- my hope is that the one piece that we've still got-- some of them still got a way to get to, but i have great confidence in josh and tom and that we may be able to bridge the final. so, it's a bit of a cliche to say that we're living in challengin

gloria and dominic, both of you stand up.me what did you make of what our two panellists said ? gloria, satisfied? yeah, i am satisfied. i especially liked suerie's response, especially about the fact that america seems to be looking at the different categories regarding race about occupation, job, and how that all counts towards vulnerability and, yeah, i appreciate the fact of both responses. all right, thank you. dominic. i think it goes a long way to satisfy mine. i think as we're now at the point of having vaccines and we're talking about delivery, it's a question of ethics in terms of — and maybe it's a different group of people we need to engage and the decision around who gets vaccinated, but also responsibilities in the population, that we don't become apathetic just because a vaccine's here. all right. let's go to my next question, which is from georgia chisnall. georgia. thank you. a lot of people are very unlikely or uncertain about getting the vaccine. in the uk, for example, it's about a third. why do you think,

as a shield for both the black community and the nation. what i argue in the sword and the shield is that we have to reframe how we think about malcolm x we also understand the president much better malcolm is both in th the political sword d political shield nonviolent as a political sword and shield and i would argue the influence along the way of malcolm x in that thinking a new understanding of democracy and the radical tradition and in 2020 we are seeing the continuing impact of the racial disparities i found fascinating how deep they were invested in the political economy and using words like racial capitalism and how they thought about jim crow segregation it's frustrating such a powerful and resonant image and one of the things you do in the book which is striking that nobody has done it with this degree of elaboration or sophistication is to show how they influence each other in all of these striking intellectual ways you brought up a piece of writing i always try to focus on but i almost never see anyone mention the homestead act

long both vaccines are effective both require 2 shots $28.00 days apart where the vaccines differ is in how complicated it is to store and distribute them those nanoparticles can be very sensitive the beyond tech pfizer vaccine must be stored at minus 70 degrees pfizer developed a specific kind of dry ice to keep it cold maintaining that cold temperature will be a major challenge and fires are as having difficulties acquiring enough raw material for large scale production the modern a vaccine on the other hand can be stored for up to a month at household refrigerator temperatures that makes it easier to transport and distribute why the 2 vaccines have different storage requirements is a mystery the companies are keeping their recipes secret beyond tech pfizer and moderna are just 2 of the many competing vaccines worldwide british pharmaceutical company astra zeneca has its own and there are russian and chinese versions as well . meanwhile the world holds its breath hoping this is the beginning of the end of the pandemic and that milestone is still far off the hard hit new york city s

a big thank you to both of you for joining us.ved boy by many of us friends and family. he is really, really messed. we have not seen him since eight and a half months ago when he left on the 26th of march. what is it like for you at home? it has been a really horrible and devastating time for all of us. it is very confusing and we are very sad. luckily, we all have each other. i have received an incredible amount of support from my friends and family, and from the local community where i live. ifeel really blessed about that. when did you realise that he had gone missing? what happened? can you just give us a succinct summary about what happened that night?m give us a succinct summary about what happened that night? it was the first week of lockdown and he was really struggling with not seeing his friends and not seeing his girlfriend, but he was staying at home with me and my other daughter, his little sister. but on the evening of the 26th of march, around sunset, he went out for a walk and he did not come back. when it got dar

with us live on the line as well very different tones taken by both how do you make of all how it was put forward. well the titan here in london from boris johnson and his conservative allies has been triumph and they claim that they have had the upper hand in the negotiation of they want this negotiation in their eyes that of course it's all mainly optics it's about johnson trying to hold together his leave electorate and for europe it's about showing the integrity of the single market staying in place that. the united kingdom would not be able to access the single market without ensuring that it is that hearing to certain rules and regulations until the european union this is about reassuring other member states of the negotiations have been handled as well as they as well as they can be but but a broad level we're seeing something both riddled historical significance today and we should not be silent of the fact that these 2 big blocks. the united kingdom and the european union have decoupled in a meaningful way and that will be with us for the rest of our lifetimes and bricks it o

he islso the first member of congress toave written and passed aarm bill in both chambers. i think he's worked as a eight farm bills and all whichs an erincredible number. i'm proud to have worked with him on three farm bills in the senate including the 2018 farm bill which passed the senate with the greatest number of votes of any farm bill in senate history, attribute to the hard work that pat and his staff put in to building consensus and to reaching out to members from all across this country who represent different areas different commodities, different crops and bringing them together to write a farm bill. i've been around long enough and been associated with enough farm bills know that they tend to be controversial because some people represent cities that don't have agricultural constituencies so the fact that pat was successful in getting a farm bill across the finish line here in the senate with a record 87 votes is a remarkable compliment in and of itself. of course, pat's leadership has already been pointed out and has been not just limited to agriculture but am

both ukraine and georgia. for ukraine, integration into nato remains -- for foreign policy and security priority. which is supported by the political elites and at a level of society in trekt resudirect russian aggression. i would like to underline it is probably the first time in ukraine's history that with the change of president and government and the parliament last year, the calls of integration has not been challenged. when we're talking about nato membership, we are not suggesting anything extraordinary. as you know, the summit declaration states that georgia and ukraine will become nato members and the membership action plan met, which we consider ukraine and georgia as the next logical step in our european integration. so membership action plan is the same in bucharest declaration, is mentioned as the next step for ukraine and georgia to membership. so as a result of reflection process, we expect that nato will stick to its open door policy. that georgia and ukraine should be on the road map to the me

significant differences remain on the 3 critical issues level playing field governance and fisheries both sides underline that no agreement is feasible if these issues are not solved. and whilst recognizing the seriousness of these differences we have retired a further effort should be undertaken by our negotiating teams to assess whether they can be these issues can be resolved that imbiber has more on the negotiations there's been a lot of talk in the press about british on happiness that the european union trying to insist on a long perhaps 10 year transition period before e.u. access to british fishing waters would be reduced the european union have been saying no that is not going to be a problem there is somewhere we can meet in the middle but perhaps a bigger problem is the idea of unfair competition european diplomats have been briefing journalists that several countries not just france but belgium spain denmark and so on have been unhappy about the prospect of michel barnier giving ground on the rules of what they call the level playing field on state aid for example to british c

maybe i am a bit too optimistic but i think both sides have so much to lose with ano both sides have with a no deal. so i do think they would go literally, like, even further than the deadline, i would say, to actually get something done. we are talking about a deal which is already quite thin and not... the disruption would already be massive. with no deal, it would be quite a disaster for a lot of businesses and companies. tony connelly, europe editor of the irish broadcaster rte, told me about the significance of the irish response. he told me that had been progress overnight and things are zeroing in to the issue of the level playing field. things are zeroing in with the european union's real concern about what would happen if the uk from eu standards. would it be british companies an unfair advantage over european ones? then the level playing field but no longer be level and then again, if the eu improved or tightened standards on various fields like the environment and so on overtime and the uk did not come again could you have an unfair situation? what they seem have an unfair

we have seen a little bit of pressure on markets both in the u.k. and europe over the past couple of days as the hopes for a trade deal to him a little that we've heard today for example from prime minister boris johnson $100.00 k. that really people should not be getting their hopes up that out a deal at this point but of course i would say markets are really under pricing the risks that. many investors remain quite optimistic that that the logic will prevail of the economic consequences will drive these leaders to reach a deal but i would say that investors are really not prepared at this point for. right chelsea's linny was in markets in frankfurt thank you. all fishing rights have turned into one of the sticking points of bragg's the trade negotiations the industry itself represents actually a small sliver of the economies of both sides and yet it has a certain emotional resonance especially in places like the long french fishing village that depends on access to british waters and without which as many as $5000.00 jobs could be lost. meter by m

these pictures show both of them meeting at the european commission headquarters in brussels.will hshe more on that tly. first, both sides have been laying out there red lines. >> our friends in the eu are currentlyti ins that if they pass a new law in the future with which we in this country do not comply or don't follow suit, they have the automatic right to punishs u and retaliate. secondly, they are saying th u.k. shod be the only country in the world not to have sovereign control over its fishing waters. i don't believe those are terms that any prime minister of this country should accept. ros: in berlin, angela merkel addressed the germanarliament. >> there are british conditions we cannot accept then we will take the path of no deal. one thing is clear. the integrity of the eu's market must be preserved. ros: here is kevin connolly in brussels in -- on what wem ight expect fday's meeting. >> the political -- the political atmosphere is hard to ca because what we hearth o way into this meeting is what you and i have heard at many summits in the last few years which is we

what was the central part of the argument on both sides? >> well, as you see, ted olsen was basically making the argument that the florida supreme court has botched florida law. that rather than sticking with the law as it was on election day, they've changed it. now, of course, their view was, we're interpreting florida law. we're not throwing it out. but ted olsen was making the argument that the florida law basically called for certifying the results within a week or so, as i say, unless there's some sort of computer glitch that messed up the count, you basically certify the results and he thought they should certify the results and say governor bush won, but instead the florida supreme court allowed, instead, this counting. so, as i say, he was making the argument that the florida supreme court got florida law wrong and knew the supreme court -- u.s. supreme court should step in and change it. and larry tribe has to make the argument. look, it's a very close election. and the florida judges correctly want to make sure that all the votes

both borisjohnson and the moment.want this physical meeting with negotiators to write down what is left but every day we seem down what is left but every day we seem to get some new demands from both sides, ten years now access to uk waters from the french, the dutch, pulling in behind the french as well and then the british saying they want to go with a northeast atla ntic they want to go with a northeast atlantic deal which would cut europe... this stuff is just appearing at the last minute or stuff that has been overlooked over the last 4.5 years? i think what you're seeing a more pushback from the member states then we have seen before expressing their own personal interest in this and in that sense, the eu has a slightly harder time on its hands perhaps for the first time that boris johnson its hands perhaps for the first time that borisjohnson will feel confident if and when he signs or not size but signs up to a deal that he will be bringing something back that broadly he thinks his mps will go for whereas the

this is the big question that both sides have to face as well. french fishermen, emmanuel macron has told them that he won't let them down by signing up to a bad deal but if there were no deal, we had the uk's foreign secretary would say that they would be no automatic access to uk waters. at the same time, the uk knows that if he doesn't agree to a trade deal, they could be some tariffs. i think the reason that both sides are prepared to dig in at this stage is with no disrespect at all to the fishing industry, is bigger than that. you have two ideological issues that they can't quite figure out a middle way on. one is sovereignty. boris johnson thinks the reason that people voted to leave the european union is that they wanted to make their own decisions. he is not prepared to sign up to something that allows the eu to have significant influence on the uk's rules moving forward. at the same time, the european union's ultimate loyalty is to the single market. they don't want to give the uk preferential access to that single market if, potentiall

both going to win both going to lose or split the votes?t do you think will happen in this race in january? ening >> number favor republicans in both of those races. and it's uphill climb for democrats but main hill factor i think make this is a little bit different that you can't be assured it if you're a republican that you're going win a special election runoff but i think well i'll be paying very close attention when president starts talking to hear whether he helps or hurts the cause. eric: all right we'll see and, of course, covering that live here in fox news channel 7 p.m. eastern good to see you susan of the washington examiner. thank you as always for your insight. , of course. arthel. arthel: thanks earth and suzanne small businesses are struggling to stay afloat with more lockdowns going into effect and government relief money about to run out. we'll tell you about one group in virginia that is giving mom and pop stores a helping hand. ♪ ok everyone, our mission is to provide complete, balanced nutrition for strength and energy.

the deal is done a crisis of verted it's a relief for both sides after all half of the u.k.'s trade is with its european neighbors and the u.k. is the e.u. 3rd largest trading partner the talks were painful but the alternative was worse pushing the begrudging neighbors closer together never has the european union offered so much to a so-called 3rd country the u.k. has enhanced its decision making at home but still has access to the e.u. market whereas the e.u. has kept a key customer for billions of euros of goods a lot will change come the 1st of january the biggest the u.k. will be out of the e.u. single market but both sides will continue to have tariff free access to each other's economies citizens from either side will no longer have the automatic right to live and work in each other's territories there's likely to be delays of borders as everyone gets used to complicated new custom systems and the u.k. will stop most of its payments into the e.u.'s budget. selling british wares freely in the e.u.'s marketplace is the 1st big step but britain still has a monumental task

both sides in both chambers have really stepped up and worked hard to get this done. and we will be moving forward with historic pandemic relief and full-year funding legislation for the federal government as well, and i hope we can do this as promptly as possible. congressional leaders reached agreement on covid-19 relief and government funding for 2021. the coronavirus portion is estimated to cost nearly 900 billion dollars. it includes $600 in direct payments to individuals who qualified in the march distribution, an additional $300 per week in jobless benefits, a one-month extension on evictions, small business loans, as well as bill owens for schools, vaccine distribution, and transportation. 2021 spending is also in the plan. the 1.4 trillion dollar package funds the government route except to. the agreement is being turned into a bill before putting it before the house and senate. the house will return tomorrow morning at 9:00 eastern, and you can watch the debate live on c-span. the senate is also meeting with live coverage on c-span2, watch online at c-span.o

both sides say a trade deal is looking unlikely.de. the target aims to make europe climate neutral by 2050. british and russian scientists are collaborating on a trial of a combination of the oxford—astrazeneca and sputnik v vaccines to see if it gives better protection against coronavirus. the sputnik vaccine is still undergoing late stage trials. the self—isolation period is being reduced from 14 days to ten for anyone who's come into contact with a positive case of covid—19 and also people returning from high—risk countries. hello, you are watching bbc news. the nhs in wales will not be able to cope by christmas if covid—19 cases continue to rise at their current rate — those are the words of the first minister, mark drakeford. his government is due to publish a new plan of restrictions next week. today, all secondary school pupils in wales have been sent home until the new year, and mr drakeford announced that all outdoor christmas attractions will be closed. in scotland, 11 council areas in the top tier of restrictions have mov

very thing to do for both sides. am very pleased to tell you this afternoon, that we have completed the biggest trade deal yet, worth £660 billion a year, a comprehensive ca nada — style £660 billion a year, a comprehensive ca nada—style free £660 billion a year, a comprehensive canada—style free trade deal, between the uk, and the eu. the eu's chief negotiator michel barnier said the clock is no longer ticking, and expressed his leaf that a deal has been done. so, what does the expect deal mean for business, trade and travel? we will unpick the details for you. hello. welcome to bbc news. four—and—a—half years after britain volted to leave the eu a post—brexit trade deal has finally been agreed. borisjohnson said britain achieved a £660 billion per year trade agreement which would protectjob, but the opposition labour party said the deal was thin, hello. welcome to bbc news. four—and—a—half years after britain volted to leave the eu after britain volted to leave the eu a post—brexit trade deal has finally been agree

well, this is the big question on both sides.ght, french fishermen, emmanuel macron has told them that he is not going to let them down by setting up to a bad deal but if there were a no deal, we heard the uk's foreign secretary this morning saying that that would mean no automatic access for french fishermen, so, that's something for the eu side to weigh up. at the same time, the uk knows that if they don't agree to a trade deal, there will be huge tariffs on some things that some businesses really rely on to trade. i think the reason that both sides are prepared to dig in at this stage is actually, with no disrespect at all to the fishing industry, is bigger than that. you have two, ideological, loggerhead issues that they can't quite figure out a middle way on. one, is sovereignty. borisjohnson thinks the reason for people in the uk voted to leave the european union is because they wanted to make their own decisions. so, he is not prepared to sign up to something that allows the eu to have significant influence over the uk's r

what are both sides going to decide? sign up to this deal unless they can sell it at home as a victory. for the can sell it at home as a victory. forthe uk, can sell it at home as a victory. for the uk, that would say it has protected its national sovereignty after brexit, for the eu it would mean protecting the single market. until then, therejust mean protecting the single market. until then, there just won't be any deal. katya adler in brussels, thank you very much. business groups have welcomed the decision to keep the effort to get a trade deal going. our business editor simon jack is here. we still don't have an answer to how all of this ends, and yet there are immediate decisions that need to be made. businesses coping? immediate decisions that need to be made. businesses coping7m immediate decisions that need to be made. businesses coping? it feels like torture, this, doesn't it, another extension? but it could have been worse. as you rightly say, business groups say as say as long as they are still talking, ther

the measure will be contingent on both the covid—19 levels in both counties remaining low and the dealays he wants to climb three mountains in the pyrenees. david labarre — who has only around 10% sight — has already reached the summit of mont blanc. he now wants to cycle and climb up three more mountains in france and spain. the bbc‘s tim allman has his story. climbing a mountain is hardly easy for anyone. but imagine what it must be like for david labarre. visually impaired but always determined, he can only see shapes and spots. that will not stop him, though, even if he may not enjoy the full experience once he gets there. translation: of course there are people who climbed to see the view, but deep down i don't think they are really going for the view, they are going for something personal and the view was just a bonus. david is used to overcoming obstacles. he is a paralympian, winning silver in 5—a—side football at the 2012 london games. he is also a cyclist and can often be seen on his mountain bike. it is almost as if he is not disabled at all. translation: as someone who work

yeah they are and i hillary covered a lot of that so let me just say this about both modern and both pfizer and by the way fantastic interview to lead off the show with there's a lot of information there about this but the vaccine and what that ultimately means as well but it really comes down to 2 major issues with the vaccine number one is as hillary was talking about storage of those vaccine units so in the u.k. in europe in the united states there are big questions about that there's also big questions about who gets the vaccines 1st and of course the question of how long will it last we don't know the answers to the questions about the actual efficacy in terms of long term protection for any of these these vaccines because they're so new and there hasn't been enough research done number one number 2 it's also important to remember that there are indications that these vaccines may not prevent someone from spreading the virus so it may prevent you from getting sick but it may not prevent you from spreading it so there are a lot of questions about that as well and then thirdly the

so we try to reflect both of that.y to look at the details of the vaccine and the headline reflects the prime minister press conference earlier when he gave one of his better talks about tunnels and shortening the tunnel and that kind of thing and you often get a bit lost in those. i think what he was trying to say essentially is a lie is there at the end of the tunnel and we are putting that there. you said brexit is your paper's story. will you be said not to be writing about it every day? note, it is such an important issue and it has been such an important issue but i have thrown my always writing about brexit because it is a big issue for out brexit because it is a big issue for our paper. but i have to say i don't anticipate we will stop writing about brexit. this is the end of this chapter but there are many more battles ahead i'm sure and i doubt this will be the last brexit story i ever right. we will look to the next paper and pop of the final paper the telegraph. it has in its front page and rather sober loo

are -- if there are objections from both sides, the next step would be for both houses, the house ofresentatives and the senate, to meet and debate the issue for a couple of hours, and then they would take a vote about whether to accept the objection. both houses would need to vote yes in order for the electoral votes to get thrown out. the house of representatives is controlled by the democrats. a very good has sense of how many votes she is going to get. they are not going to lose any votes like that. even on the senate side, it is unclear whether there would be a lot of republicans who would goa -- would go along with that sort of thing. likely there would be enough to join the democrats that any objection would fail in both houses. bruce einhorn in hong kong. still to come, china signals its intention to toughen up on oversight after alibaba and tencent are fined under monopoly laws. more on that next. this is bloomberg. ♪ wanna lose weight and be healthier? it's time for aerotrainer. a more effective total body fitness solution.

but i think talking to both sidesjust in terms of practicality of getting that agreement through bothuk and european parliament in the uk and european parliament on their side. we really do need to reach an agreement because it's only four weeks' time until that transition period ends on the 31st of december. and with out getting this deal ratified and through parliament of course, we saw the difficulties that teresa may had getting her deal through parliament. it really now seems that this is the moment. that either we get that deal or revert to know deal. which means it will be trading on wto come january. and rachel, whatever happens there is a deal or where trading on wt deals that is a nightmare because there is more uncertainty and referred from business leaders that many business cities are prepared. notjust in this country but in europe those that trade with the uk. absolutely, absolutely. the level of uncertainty is really just causing absolutely. the level of uncertainty is reallyjust causing a distress. for businesses both on the british side and on the eu side of things. a

we got a real sense from both sides, not just from a we got a real sense from both sides, notjust fromn but notjust from a have underlain an boris johnson but from various notjust from a have underlain an borisjohnson but from various eu leaders, that they don't want to be the ones to walk away from these negotiations and basically put an end to any talks of a trade deal coming into place on the 1st of january, but that said, the fact that conversation happen this afternoon, both sides of agreed that they should get back round the negotiating table, is not insignificant. because if there was really no way for they wouldn't be doing that. boris johnson really no way for they wouldn't be doing that. borisjohnson has made clear that if he thinks that has reached the end of the road he would be prepared to step back from the process. and many thought potentially could be the day he decided to do so. not so. what we don't know at the moment is because the inner circle of people who are in that room negotiating is so tight, we don't know exactly whether one side is giving a nod and a wink to

so we tried to do both of those things.e to start for the proposition is do you believe there were problems in international trade when we started. and we certainly do. we had lost millions of manufacturing jobs, we had enormous trade deficits, notjust with individual countries, which we can debate about, but with the whole world. going up every year to the point where it was $800 billion and really something that is not sustainable. so from our point of view, our losing our manufacturing base, our communities were being hurt as a result of lack of manufacturing and a lack of other good jobs and so the president set about to renegotiate nafta, to change the relationship with china, and then to work on the wto. and then a lot of other things, we did deals with japan and deals with korea and put tariffs on a variety of chinese products, the steel and aluminium, there was a change of the paradigm. and even in this last election, you saw no real pushback from vice president biden to the proposition that trade is not working for
