trade agreements such as those with canada japan and mexico which will affect many sectors. i think there are a couple of sectors where the automobile sector is one of them our food products beef for example would be also very good. as well but more will be one of the most affected sectors. in case of far. as said the u.k. as car industry is a serious risk that industry so-called just in time production system is dependent on various carrots moving across borders with a minimum of fuss and no deal brags it could take a wrecking ball to the system risking thousands of jobs. yet as the current d.-day of october 31st looms ever closer no one can say for certain what will happen at the u.k.'s borders in a week's time. and that's a business thanks for watching. the law. natural riches. precious resources. and a real morning investment in the. farmland has been called. the country as a rundown some of the families of the international group china. the government to try exploration and the corporations high profit margin. but not everyone benefits from the booming business. creatio

we have agreement with canada, japan, we just concluded with mercosur, negotiating with australia, new. as you say, trade is important for the european union, and we think trade is good, and they can be anchored in international rules and can be mutually beneficial. david: an important part of trade has to do with aircraft. there has been this dispute between airbus and boeing, do you expect a settlement in the dispute? cecilia: it is a very old conflict we have had between us. says -- we think it is better to talk, to suspend this, put a moratorium, find out how to deal with this in the future, and also focus on industrial subsidies in the aircraft or. the problem today is more china and we should find a common approach vis-a-vis china and not increasing tariffs on each other. we have been calling on the u.s. for a settlement and discussion here. david: europe has a pheromone of exports to great britain. we are watching this play out as we speak in parliament in london. where is the european right now in negotiating potential trade deals for the eventuality that the u.k. leaves the co

the president has renegotiated trade deals with mexico, canada, japan, and south korea. of course the wall on our southern border, it's getting built. more bureaucratic red tape and he successfully pointed two constitutionalist judges to the supreme court and hundreds of other federal judges. yes, originalist, constitutionalist, he passed the largest tax cuts in history that generated an economic boom. nearly 9 million new jobs created and million more out of poverty. the lowest unemployment rate since 1969. more americans are working than ever before in history. for the first time in decades, this country and 75 years is energy independent and a net exporter of energy, the lifeblood of every economy on this earth. none of it matters to the left, none of it matters to their mob friends in the media. none of it from the moment he entered office and he came down the escalator with mo -- they d their very best to defeat him. then of course the dirty russian dossier, the very thing they are accusing him of, they were guilty of. it is a never ending unceasing and hysteria, li

may fall to condition trues like some china as a result of the trade war and we'll lose to canada, mexico, japan, australia, new zealand, actively joining the tpp, even competing to lead it and eat away at american market share and then asians will trade with each other and we'll be left out. >> what is built in road and where did the name come from. >> the beltin road initiative is a continuation of what has been happening over the last 25-30 years in terms of this resurrection of the silk road from the precolonial words wordd asians had moyer to do with each. other beltin road is china's contribution, in the last five to ten. >> but really i've been working this over the last 20 years, investing massively in cross-border railways, pipelines, highways, now they call it the digital silk road with huawei, fiber, optic cable and 5g. the infrastructural networking of asia, and china has committed hundreds of bill offed dollars to it. others as well. it's the bazooka of infrastructure. >> your definition of asia from where to where. >> that's a bug bear for me as a student of geography. they're on o

-- one mistake that trump made was picking fights with some of our allies in europe, mexico, canada, and japan, and not isolating china as the bad actor. if we could get the canada-mexico trade agreement ratified the senate and the congress it would be a plus, because i love the vision. this was ronald reagan and bill clinton's vision, to have the north american competent -- continent be a free-trade zone. it had to be modernized, and let us get that done. the frustration that the trump administration has is all we want from nancy pelosi and all we are asking for, bring that trade agreements to a vote, let us just have a vote. if it gets a vote, i believe it will be ratified and that puts more pressure on china to make a deal. there areou think drastic differences between old and new nafta? guest: there are modernizations and there are some things in the new nafta that i do not like, but i think it is an up needed version. how old was nafta? 25 years old? and needed to be modernized but it is not substantially different. all the more reason to get it done. it helps canada, new mexico, and u.s.

canada, mexico, japan, australia and new zealand are all actively joined the tpp even competing to lead it and eat away at american market share and we will be left out. >> for those not familiar with it, what is that and where did the name come from? >> the belton road initiative is a continuation of what has been happening for the last 25 or 30 years in terms of this resurrection of the precolonial world where asians had more to do with each other than the rest of the world. particularly in the last 5-10 years, i have been watching this over the last 20 years they have been investing massively in cross-border railways, pipelines, highways. now they call it digital silk road, optic cables, 5g, the infrastructural networking of asia and china has committed hundreds of billions as well. it is the bazooka of infrastructure. >> your definition of asia is from where to where? >> the real bugbear to me as a student of geography there is only one definition of asia and asia is not a continent. our kids always learn the wrong thing which is that asia is a continent, europe is a continent, ther

japan and australia but not enough. if you look at the defense doctrine and emerging capabilities and concepts of, you know, go down the line, canada, korea, japan, australia, new zealand, they all want capabilities. we have alliances. part of our cost position in china is sbe gaiting them more. if everybody wants capabilities, if they're all building, you know, flat tops and building amphibs, we ought to be more joint operations with them, more training, more equipment and great power competition results in war usually because of a deterioration around the periphery. what he happens around asia is important. if we have a combined capability to deal with natural disasters, civil wars, we get there before china. we lock that in. on your question about territory, my view is that international law matters. it is a strong card for the united states. and it would be a mistake for us to suddenly change decades and decades of state department legal counsel position and say that we've now decided that these are japanese territory, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera it would undermine the credibility of our rule of law tool in diplomacy but it

maria: not just china -- >> it's trade in general and business owners will rank mÉxico, canada, japanterms of importance. maria: mark them equally because mÉxico-canada trade is $1.1 trillions, china trade 500 billion, it's more important to get usmca passed as soon as possible. >> absolutely. maria: tom from,ub, is this morning. national rifle association charges that the label is equivalent to blacklist that violates freedom of speech. its lawyers are arguing the move intend today, quote, remove nra from gun control debate, san francisco not budging, urging other cities, states and even the federal government to follow claim in calling them a terrorist organization. the dallas morning news reports southwest airlines looks to compensate employees as it asks boeing to pay for the 737 max problems, southwest losing about 180 flights a day since max was grounded back in march, now it's looking to give employees a cut of the compensation it gets from boeing for profit sharing, and the boston globe this morning, boston gives kindergartners 50 hours and the city depositing money to kick-st

we have just extended these a waiver to countries such as the united states japan australia and canada and we are currently considering adopting similar measures to china and india among other countries with more safety and with the easier streamlined procedures we want to ensure that everyone can visit and get to know brazil especially the brazilian amazon a region in all of its vastness not natural beauty. no the amazon is not being devastated nor is it being consumed by fire as the media misleadingly. each of you ladies and gentlemen can bear witness to what i'm saying now and you can decide on a firsthand basis make sure you do visit brazil and get to know brazil it is a very different country views of you the country that has been baltar. and in many newspapers and television channel. religious persecution is a scourge we should all tirelessly fight in the past few years we have witnessed in different regions of the world cowardly attacks that have victimized followers and faithful gathering in churches synagogues and mosques brazil strongly condemns all of these acts. and remains

such as countries of the united states, japan, australia and canada. into china and india among others. and those streamlined procedures we want to make sure especially the brazilian amazon region the amazon is not being devastated. and then to bear witness to what i am saying it is very different country and many newspapers and television channels. so we should all fight so we have witnessed in different regions of the world and then to gather in churches and synagogues to strongly come down on all of these acts and ready to collaborate to attack those that are oppressed because of their faith. those that were increased the religious minorities so therefore we support the memory of the victims acts for that vision of related values and then to suffer those who suffer religious persecution. it is not acceptable at all the tools and instruments it is so not acceptable with people of other religions because of their faith and evidence brazils devotion is found in the solid history and for 70 years now and had given in those two receive them to be extreme

in canada, korea, japan, australia and new zealand. they all wanted amphibious capabilities. we have a bilateral alliance and china is integrating them more bilaterally. if everyone wants expeditionary capability, building flattop and amphibious, we are talking joint operations, more equipment, great power competition results in war usually because of deterioration around appropriate great powers. if we have a combined capability to deal with natural disasters and civil wars, we lock that in. my view is that national law matters. it is a strong card to the united states and it would be a mistake to us to suddenly change decades and decades of legal counsel decision and suddenly say that this is our territory. the main negative impact, it would underline rule of law tools in diplomacy. it would open pandora's box. it would suddenly be a test of credibility for america around the world. i would not change our position on the question. including sanctions on entities involved in artificial island building. i would not punish china. >> i have to stop this discussion and move on.

has been trying to still trade deals with japan with canada with american countries and with the u.s. it's made progress a lot of those but most of them still have to be ratified or in the process of being ratified like seta said it has been approved by or been ratified by some skeptical nations like france showing that it can get through despite farmer reluctance for example it's usually in the agricultural sector that there's a lot of reluctance on the national level fearing that they're going to be displaced but it can get through but what this shows is that it's going take a lot of work it's not going to be easy and what could help is that the next trade commissioner for the e.u. is the former agricultural commissioner phil hogan he knows a bit about trying to allay the concerns of that sector so he might be able to push things forward a little bit better thanks for guiding us through that the stephen beardsley from the w. business. now to football and the champions league rabbi and munich are recorded a routine 3 nil win over red star belgrade in their group stage opener at kings

add to that trade deals with japan, canada, mexico, western european allies. china is now at a 27 year low in terms of their economy. an 11 year low in their currency. i'd say there's a lot of winning in there. >> newt: there's a lot of winning. i think it's important to recognize that no matter what the news media does, there's a core base of 44-45% of the country, that frankly ignores all the noise, focuses on what's working, notices, for example, lowest black unemployment in history, lowest latino unemployment in history. lowest female unemployment inen history, and they look at that, and they say, this is a pretty good deal.last year, we had a sl increase in take-home pay, a combination of wages going up and the tax cuts. again, you got people looking around thinking, this is all working. and then they watch the democrats, promise basically to destroy it. you have a contrast that is this wide between people who want to make america work and people whi think so that's going to be the sort of core underlying theme. >> sean: coming back from a long vacation.

waivers toended visa countries such as the united states, japan, australia, and canada and we are considering adopting similar measures to china and india, among other countries. with more safety and with the easier streamline features, we want to ensure everyone can visit and get to know brazil, especially the brazilian amazonian region in its vastness and natural beauty. the amazon is not being devastated, nor is it being consumed by fire as the media misleadingly says. each of you can bear witness to what i'm saying now. ite sure you do this and -- is a different country from the countries that have been portrayed in many newspapers and television channels. religious persecution is a scourge. we should tirelessly fight. in the past few years we have witnessed in different regions of the world cowardly attacks that have victimized followers of faithful gathering in churches, synagogues and mosques. brazil strongly condemns all of these acts and remains ready to collaborate with other countries to protect those who are oppressed because of their faith. the brazilian people are particularly c

unilateral free trade with the world and just put out a full court press with all of europe and canada and china and japan and and and just go full on no tariffs 2 foreign investment and britain could actually reclaim its mantle as the leading free trade nation in the world and that's actually the way to save the stock market save the currency and save the country from an isolationist disaster so i i think he might actually have this in mind and it's the best it's the best hope going forward and if that happens it means that the no deal bracks that would have been the right course from the very beginning. and you know we got an opinion on this what about. well i mean look i think good they should definitely do as yank and go and run away and get out of there because again 1st of all the it was a failure from the day they put it together i mean that whole single currency the whole deal was a bad deal to start with you can see it by what's happening with the currency the currency continues to fall and has no there's really no bottom to it and again i would expect it to go back under par to the u.s. dollar s

japan, australia, canada, uk, france, and germany are kind of similar in terms of economies. so we take the average or the mean, we're still debating what that is and that's up to the jurisdiction, the average let's say for the moment of what they pay. and we don't pay any more than 1.2% of that. so 120% of that. so we would only pay up to 20% more than they're paying in all those other countries. those are two of the main features that people ask about. there are other provisions in there that are -- you know, we'll take the most expensive drugs that affect the most people and try to take them down, the prices down first. i'm very excited about it. it's transformative. the committees will act upon them. they'll have some other suggestions about all the money you save doing this. how did we spend it? is it better benefits for medicare? visual, hearing, dental. what would that be? that's up to the committee to decide. there are provisions on transparency, if they want to raise the price, tell us why and let's see what that is. so it's a very lively, informed discussion of peop

look at the defense doctrine and emerging capabilities and concepts of,, good and the like in canada, japan, korea, new zealand, they'll want expedition amphibious capabilities. we have bilateral alliances as part of our customization strategy on china is integrating them or across the bilateral arrangements. if everyone's expeditionary capabilities, if they are all building laptops and all building amphibs, we ought to be doing more joined with them, more joint operations, more training, or equipment. and great power competition results in war usually because of a deterioration around the periphery of the great powers. so what happens in south and southeast asia is incredibly important, if we have combined expeditionary capability to deal with natural disasters, civil wars. we get there before china. we lock that in. on your question but territory, my view is that international law matters. it is a strong card for the united states and would be a mistake for us to suddenly change decades and think it's a state department legal counsel position and suddenly say we have now decided that the

the new trade deals with mexico, canada, the european union, japan, a big win for american goods.nd, by the way, i would expect that the deal with china is going to be free and more fair at the end of the day. to top it all off, americans are now safer. look at this. nationwide, violent crime is down significantly by a lot. and, oh, by the way, construction of the wall, the biggest unreported story this week, is well underway. the president this week, media isn't focused on it, after securing the $3.6 billion in new funding, the wall is going up. as we speak. the video on your screen is showing the progress at the border in yuma, arizona, that's from last week alone, and the president is saying we'll get 500 miles built by the end of next year. nancy pelosi tonight is furious. she vowed to challenge the funding in court. problem is there are laws that we have cited on this program as it relates to the president, legally being able to build walls and barriers to stop drug corridors. and that law also is backed up by something called the constitution. and, you see, the constitution

in part is it's not just china number dolphins trade wars have been extended to canada and mexico to south korea to japan and indeed to the european union and one of the big stories that i don't think will matter as much to us voters matters us to hear the ok it's all dolled up with the visor trying to weaken the european union in part by supporting boris johnson becoming prime minister to get a harder even no deal right so why is that important because that us european alliance which is arguably been at the bedrock of international security since the 1940 s. trump and his advisors have no belief in partly because trump egotistically doesn't like european leaders but in part because he has certain hard line that is whether you talk about a shared coach and whether you talk about a steven miller who actually believe that europe in effect is no longer a trusted equally united states but should take its place as a follower who keeps its voice down the engines in d.c. we used to talk at the very beginning of this administration about don't trump having adults in the room those adults seem to have gone and no

-- one mistake that trump made was picking fights with some of our allies in europe, mexico, canada, and japand not isolating china as the bad actor. if we could get the canada-mexico trade agreement ratified the senate and the congress it would be a plus, because i love the vision. this was ronald reagan and bill clinton's vision, to have the north american competent -- continent be a free-trade zone. it had to be modernized, and let us get that done. the frustration that the trump administration has is all we want from nancy pelosi and all we are asking for, bring that trade agreements to a vote, let us just have a vote. if it gets a vote, i believe it will be ratified and that puts more pressure on china to make a deal. there areou think drastic differences between old and new nafta? guest: there are modernizations and there are some things in the new nafta that i do not like, but i think it is an up needed version. how old was nafta? 25 years old? and needed to be modernized but it is not substantially different. all the more reason to get it done. it helps canada, new mexico, and u.s.. ci

in addition to all 50 states we welcome folks from as far away as canada, germany, japan, and sweden.al visitors. a day as important as today when so much conversation will be about our future it seems absurd to talk about the dark days we had in 2016 for america, but you can't know where you're going if you don't know where you're coming from. many of us were in shock when donald trump was declared the winner of the 2016 election. we found democrats in our democratic party in pieces. we had a bruising family fight in this party. our organizers and volunteers were disillusioned. and iowa, half of our 99 county chairs turned over that year. many counties, including our own in polk, were basically bankrupt. all we could do was band together. when trump proposed is muslim ban, we rallied at the airport. when trump had his bizarre of americathe women marched in response. to count crowds, so we know that his was not as big as the women's crowd, so bless them. on a local level our boring county party meetings that i get to lead, which i think only i enjoy, swelled from 40 people to 125 peop
