katie simpson, cbc news. can you walk us through the very first time your office learned that a man was being investigated by police, and how many times that issue came into your office? can you walk us through that lee's? pm trudeau: -- please? pm trudeau: on wednesday of last week, i was surprised at his gambling problem. that was the first time at which i became aware of that and i understand my office became aware of that within a day or so prior to briefing me. in regards to police investigations, we were aware that the people were asking questions related to the india trip and the ethics investigation that was going on. but we had no information at that point that there was any connection to a gambling problem that we had no information on, and as always the rcp conducts its , investigations independently. [speaking french] >> so the rcmp started asking questions around mr. great wall i believe several questions that several months ago when he came to the india trip. did your office have concerns that a

the cbc, or a california california vehicle code defines it as any vehicle with 15 more seats or a commercial vehicle with ten or more seats. you can see there is a lot of people where a lot of organizations and businesses that fall under that umbrella and under that category. the m.t.a. does not have the ability or does not have the authority to regulate most of these except if they opt into the program and for the most part, these shuttles are allowed to use arterial streets. they are not allowed unless given specific permission to use muni zones themselves. we have been talking with our operators a lot about where they are seeing problems, where there is issues. we did that a couple of different ways. any time an operator runs into an issue, they contact our central control. we have done reviews of central control logs to see where the sticking points are and see where some of the recurrent issues are. secondly, we meet every month that each of our bus and rail divisions and talk through operations with the operators about where things can be improved, what kind of steps we can take to mak

the cbc is a big and powerful force in the caucus. guarantee that this passes, and i want to also note that seth mollton and all these dissidents basically said there is no situation we will vote for nancy pelosi ever, period, the end. this is a huge retreat on their behalf. we're not sure what we're giving up here. obviously there's a lot of views of this situation. they don't feel like they are giving up very much. >> jake, let's talk about republicans here for a second. the chief deputy whip, a fellow named patrick henry down in north carolina making some headlines. this is what he had to say yesterday about the votes on president trump's border wall. take a listen. >> the question is whether or not we can move it, yes, we can move it. the question of whether or not that's the right play call, that i think is quite debatable. >> trump said that he would be proud to shut down the government. doesn't that kind of screw your messaging? >> a bit. >> care to elaborate? >> nope. >> nope. jake sherman, is this an indication that republica

surveymple, the cbc fed from today, nearly a quarter of respondents now expect a recession in the next 12 months. the chief executive grooves posted the sharpest month over month drop in outlook for business conditions this year. and hit the lowest level since before the 2016 presidential election. a big question for investors and maybe those on main street as well is whenil w the actual hard albeit backward looking economic data by gross domestic product, non-farm payroll and consumer spending start to reflect theore coincident or sentiment looking indicators. those tide to the housing industry have been taking note. this housing start showing slow downs hinted a foronths at this point. for now, hard economic data points are supportinghehes that the american economy is doing better than its peershe around world. unemployment standing at multidecade lows. the econo is not booming but it's still growing. and many indicators for services and manufacturing activity still signaling expansion. now theeruestion is whe the hard economic data starts to catch up to the slowing confidence number

i'm mary catherine wellons and i am a deputy bureau chief cbc washington bureau but before that i ran our san francisco bureau can see nbc's first episode was like running a startup and one of the topics will discuss today is entrepreneurship. we have a fabulous group of women with us and i think it's such a great time to be talking about women and wealth and department of special on the heels of what was incredible midterm turnout. we've seen how politically motivated women are now but when it comes to money that's not necessarily always the case and the women with us going to talk about the many ways in which women can become empowered and set themselves up for success. unveiled today we have next to me kristin smith, director of external affairs for the blockchain association. next to her, allie mccartney, managing director at ubs focus on private wealth management and a blue she is given me the license say that ass ladies. next to her is gazelle hashemian, who has an amazing background. she helps run a women led venture capital firm. she is a start herself and for that an electric

you see the cbc has a map, and you see the beginnings of the epidemic in the mid-1990's in the area of appalachia that i talked about, is virginia, kentucky, and it is a red dot. it grows and gets deeper and deeper and it spreads across that park, that region of the country, and then the red dots pop up everywhere else. by the mid-2000's, partly because mass prescribing meds -- meant very large numbers of pills going to people, whether they needed them or not, it is not just the number of people that were getting these drugs, it was also that when they were prescribed perhaps for two or three days worth of treatment, they got 30 days' worth of pills. they were left in the medicine cabinet. a couple of things that happen. one, they simply got passed around within the family. these are good pain pills, why don't you take one? or you have other people in the family, perhaps younger people, who start to experiment with their parents' drug supply. but the scale of the prescribing, not only the number of people, but the number of pills given out with each prescription, meant that a lot of th

they will perhaps even get more help from the department of defense, maybe the cbc as well as the coast guard to help with those medical screenings. also, they are going to work with ice on transportation. you know, it is hours sometimes that these migrants spend in the field when they are apprehended before they are taken through the system and processed and perhaps if they are more efficient at that time, it could lead to limiting those types of tragedies. >> they are in the business of holding thousands of people. why specifically are hundreds of migrants being dropped off in el paso? >> so here we are in front of the greyhound bus station where this week on christmas day hundreds were dropped off here without warning, catching the community off guard. we did get a statement earlier in the week from ice. they didn't make specific reference to why they're dropping off. we want to be clear, though, this isn't anything new. it is what has been happening, even under past administrations. 200 were dropped off here without warning. volunteers gave them food and water, and there was no plan

then a year after cbc bought the brand, they started talking and started asking him, what do you makerand? where would you take it? what does it need? what does it lack? and then one thing led to another. he said, why don't i do it myself? one big reason for him to make that transition was that he owns equity, about 5% of the company. for him, that was a great incentive because he can the -- he can be entrepreneurial about it. he can watch the company grow, ideally, under his stewardship. and that to him, after 17 years at richemont, seemed like a new step to take. he is in his 50's now. that seemed like the right move. carol: when i started reading this story, all i could think of was the old breitling adds. i went on google and pulled up some and it was like women in tight clothes, scantily clad, guys really macho, driving planes. all that kind of things, or flying planes. you are laughing, but that's what it was. they've got to change their image, don't they? or they are changing their image. benedikt: that's one of the first things you notice. it's a well-known brand, but it is we

there's over 21 committees, five of them being chaired by members of the cbc, the majority are chairedite members and white members are very, very concerned about term limits as well. once they have achieved that status of a chair or subcommittee chair, they're not anxious to say we only want to be there for a few years as well. so i think it impacts the black caucus, but it impacts the entire democratic caucus. i'm sure at some point we will vote on it and we will see whether or not term limits will be in place. the republicans have term limits, and a lot of people believe that's one reason why they have a lot of havoc all the time in their caucus because it's a dog-eat-dog environment. so we will see. but i'm very excited at the role the congressional black caucus is going to be chairing. 55 members, reverend, for the first time. nine new members. >> now, you and i worked down through the years particularly in california, but even beyond, on criminal justice issues and voting rights. as the new chair of the caucus congressional black caucus to be specific, will there be an aggressive

of drugs but not cheaper substitutes that come from mexico go this is a huge public health problem cbc has 72000 americans dying of an overdose last year and 50000 from some form of opioid synthetic drug or prescription drugs i cannot imagine why there isn't more of an outcry about this crisis and with the role of the transnational criminal organizations it is more narrow and political and ideological focus that doesn't serve the best interest of the country. look forward to hearing your testimony and the answer to our questions. >> it's nice to see you again when we met in my office a year ago i said blank slate to blank check what do you need? you gave me ad list that were priorities to focus on technology and personnel. the number one item on yourr wish list that inspection system that i didn't know much about was the portal system that basically scans or x-rays the vehicles that are can coming across the border if you can detect if there is anything suspicious i heard your message was good and i am for border security so i work with my colleagues on the bipartisan immigration agree

that we have to do things like take the navy cbc and make it clear with where the army is doing with icbs. and admiral harry harris, said about two years ago in the pacific when he was the co-com there, we got to make those kind of things work together. they work well in a stove pipe today but how do we bring those together? if you leave them up to the services that own those things, they won't spend an extra dollar doing that and they have to. and we need an organization out there that can help drive that together. we need the focus back on the operational architecture. jiamdo, i think it was mentioned, there was for a while a real concerted effort to drive an architecture and to put something in place with some honest brokers thinking about how best to do that for our nation. that still exists somewhere. i don't know where it is. but we need to bring that back. mda, if you go back to mda, can't think about systems architecture without at least sort of an overarching concept on the operational side. we need someone to think about doctrine. clearly. we need someone to think about pol

cbc estimated about 72,000 americans died of an overdose last year about 50,000 as i recall. witwith the synthetic drug or heroin or prescription drugs i can't imagine why there isn't more of an outcry and bar recognition of the role of the criminal organizations because it seems to be a more narrowly and political ideological focus. >> it's nice to see you again when we met in my office about a year ago i said what do you need and you gave me a list of the priorities and paper focused on technology and personnel. the number one item on the wish list for a drive through inspection systems, something i didn't know much about, the so-called portal system. i read your message and i thought it was a good one because i'm for border security as most members of congress. for four months i worked with my colleagues on a bipartisan immigration agreement. we specifically included your top priority is and increased funding for the scanning devices. we increased hiring and retention incentives for the personnel and we put the port of entry infrastructure as a priority and the professiona
