china. well hurricane adoring speeding towards canada after making landfall in the u.s. states of north and south carolina forecasters expect it to bring hurricane force winds to part of nova scotia late on saturday is already left of course a trail of devastation in the bahamas thousands of people there have been fleeing the islands by boat plane and cruise ship to escape the catastrophic often off the death tolls now at $43.00 but it is expected to grow significantly. a cruise. ship full of evacuees from the bahamas the people on board have survived an apocalypse and for now they're the lucky ones. desperation is setting in for those left behind who've lost everything. until you know the bridge in the middle of nobody had no clothes on they thought to live we don't have no cold no have nothing no law no power of flow one of. i it's 5 everything you say everything is made. as the scale of the destruction becomes clear international aid efforts are ramping up. but it's a complicated task the destruction is so widespread. we have 2 major islands in the bahamas grand baham

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.. city, northlizabeth car

china. if you watched last month or new number one trader is mexico. number two is canada. surpassing china. this is something that's making america stronger. i believe it's only one person holding the power of whether that comes up, the speaker of the house. they are more concerned about tearing this president down instead of building america up. i hope that's debated tonight inside the democrats as well. thank you. >> here is a look at our lineup for friday. on c-span at 10:00 a.m. eastern, countering iran's illicit networks. in the morning on c-span2, house republicans will hold a news conference in baltimore at the second day of their policy retreat. then a discussion on the u.s.-taliban peace process and the potential for sustainable talks in the future. on c-span3, the importance of federal-state coordination during a recession. eastern.t 8:45 a.m. 11:00urday on book tv at p.m. eastern, neil gorsuch discusses his book, "a republic, if you can keep it." in his latest book, "sentinel incorporated," how labs in china manufacture the drug. he is interviewed. in the old day

spoke with a shock power expansion from china to canada and australia. he belt and wrote initiative implies how china takes advantage in economics and european countries. and how china did not respect an international order, after promising on a joint declaration, and having negotiation with u.s. on a trade deal. we are aware that the uprising china model is just the expansion of totalitarian rule and without respect to international awareness that explains why hong kong matters to the world. because hong kong people stand on the forefront to confront authoritarian rule and hong kong people are where the hong kong is therefore front and we will confront the authoritarian crackdown. if hong kong fails the next maybe the free world. i strongly realize now is the time for the u.s. congress to pass the hong kong human rights and democracy act. i hope the u.s. government can reveal its foreign policy to china to prioritize human rights issues. especially now we are not only suffering in the political arena but even a humanitarian crisis. the first time for me

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

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 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 it's the best it's the best hope going forward and if that happens it means that the no deal bracts that would have been the right course from the very beginning. and you know we everybody has got an opinion on this what about. well i mean look i think of a should definitely as yang can go and run away and get out of there because again 1st of all the e.u. is 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. dol

china. what about canada and mexico? you mentioned the umc a still pending. something of concern to the workers in michigan? sandy: yeah, another mixed message. when you look at the business community in michigan or across the great lakes region, highly, highly supportive of nafta and really hoping that the administration can get things done. we hosted vice president pence not too long ago to support the passage of usmca, but again, going back to the union issue, we are seeing a lot of union leadership and rank-and-file that are pausing. congresswoman debbie dingell, who represents ford motor company's headquarters, she has serious concerns. if you cannot win over a debbie dingell, who is very much the bipartisan and works both sides of the aisle, that means usmca might be in trouble, although the latest counts as if it were put on the floor today and both houses, it would pass. david: before we leave, give us an update on the city of detroit. it went bankrupt, coming out of bankruptcy, how is it coming along? economy a tailwind, headwind, or is it irrelevant

china. now hurricane dorian is speeding towards canada now after making landfall in the us states of north and south carolina forecasters expected to bring hurricane force winds to parts of nova scotia late on saturday the storm has already left a trail of devastation in the bahamas and thousands of people have been fleeing the islands to escape the catastrophic aftermath of the storm the death toll is now at 43 but is expected to rise sharply. a cruise ship full of evacuees from the bahamas people on board have survived an apocalypse and for now they're the lucky ones. desperation is setting in for those left behind who've lost everything. until november he didn't leave me nobody calls on the fire there will be off no poles to have nothing no are no power roads where i know. i it's 5 everything you say everything is damage. as the scale of the destruction becomes clear international aid efforts are ramping up. but it's a complicated task the destruction is so widespread. we have 2 major islands in the bahamas grand bahama and abaco and oftentimes we forget about the many keys around the cloth

talking about these trade wars, we are one of the few companies that sell products to china, to canadato many other countries. in fact, the last six or nine months, our sales have been negatively impacted. last fiscal year our sales were down mostly because of the lower sales in china our sales were down 50% in china because of the fact they put 25% tariff on our products our sales were also down in canada for some period of time because they also put tariffs on american goods those have been removed. but the chinese impact, we have 100 locations in china we have locations all over middle east. middle east, as you know in a fairly unfortunate situation, so we're impacted that way, too having said this, we were pleased last fiscal year and june 30th our earnings up 15%. we were able to produce a fair amount of crash and increase our dividend by over 50% to $45 million. so you know, our business has always been to make sure we run it when i say the right way, to generate cash. >> do you feel like the market, because your stock price hasn't been a good performer for a long time. >> becaus

the most densely forested countries are russia brazil canada the us and china more than half of the planet's woodlands are located there but for decades forests have been disappearing at an alarming rate climate change pasts and fire do less damage than humans who continue to clear forest to create farmland. and that's even though forests can help prevent mudslides and stop soil erosion. forests protect. carbon dioxide around 10 tons per hectare of land and they produce oxygen for us to breathe their home to 80 percent of all land welling animal and plant species the trees collect huge quantities of water whatever reaches the forest floor is stored there or is filtered as it seeps away. forests can cool the air in cities by. up to 8 degrees celsius acting like a huge air conditioning system but not every species of tree has the same cooling properties. in the future what types of forest will best stand up to climate change. this to city was woodland next to an old spruce plantation has a special function to help combat climate change. but will it really outperform the spruces. researches in

canada . and not really ice in a isolating china as the bad actor so if we could get back canada mexico tradeagreement ratified by the senate and the congress i think it would be a huge plus because i think i love the vision and this was ronald reagan's vision and bill clinton's vision, democrat orrepublican to have the north american continent via free trade zone . it was great idea, it had to be modernized. let's get that done and the frustration i think that the trump administration has right now is all we want from nancy pelosi, all we are asking for is bringing our us-mexico canada trade agreement to a vote and i believe it gets a vote it will pass the house and the senate will be ratified and nd that puts more pressure on china to make a deal. >> you think there are differences between old nafta and new nafta? >> guest: not really, there's modernizations, there's things in the new nafta i th don't like but on balance i think it's an updated version . how old was that, 25 years ago? did need to be modernized but not substantially different. a little bit improved but all the more reason t
