fleming. ms. fleming: chairman thune, ranking member nelson and members of the committee, thank you for the opportunity to provide an update on passenger railroad's implementation of ptc. as you know ptc is one of the most promising technological advances in rail safety in decades and gao has been closing tracking and reporting on railroads and ptc efforts since 2010. as i testified in march, our work has shown that progress toward full ptc implementation has been slow. this is particularly true for most of the passenger railroads required to implement ptc, which includes 28 commuter railroads and amtrack. in light of the many challenges we have consistently cautioned that some railroads may not meet required deadlines. we are now fast approaching the revised deadline of december 2018 for railroads to either fully implement ptc or seek a maximum extension of up to two years. today i will focus on passenger railroads implementation process and efforts to assist them and how passenger railroads

fleming. mr. corbett. >> good morning, chairman thune and ranking member wealth and members of the committee to thank you for providing the opportunity to speak on enhanced in a positive train control in new jersey tradesman implementation program. the largest statewide public transportation system provides more than 944,000 weekday trips on 251 bus route. 12 commuter rail lines into access paratransit service. the positive train control challenges faced today are years in the making. to be blunt they reflect years of implementing ptc. let me be clear the single most critical mission we have is to complete a major federal requirements by december 31streg everything possible in order to meet the deadline. when i arrived in february that southerners have a lap to install ptc. new jersey transit entered into a contract in 2011 to be completed by 2015. by the end of 2017 the contract finished equipping only 35 locomotives control cars. they had just a single full-time employee assigned to ptc. 2014 to

fleming as you and mr. batory testified, nine railroads are most at risk for not qualifying for an extension december 31st. can you speak to which are most at risk of not qualifying for an extension and whose failure to qualify would have the largest impact on commuters. >> there are nine commuter railroads identify as at risk because they have installed less than 90% of their equipment. six of those installed less than 75. they have a lot of work to do. however the size and complex it of the railroads vary. ace is a tenant only railroad. it only has a few locomotives to equipped. my colleague, new jersey transit here has a lot more to do. they are the largest railroad on the list. they are the third largest railroad in the country based on ridership. they have about 122 more locate moec moechbs to equip. they have been able to do about 30 a month at a very accelerated pace so i think it is going to be challenging for them to meet the december deadline. as schedules get more and more compressed. more impact

let's go to our correspondent adam fleming in brussels, do we know what came out of that meeting? we got a good sense, because the three parliamentarians came out from the meeting with michel barnier and talked to us, the press, trying to play it very nicely, saying they we re play it very nicely, saying they were not here to undermine the prime minister, they criticised people who targeted violent, horrible language towards her over the weekend, but they weren't exactly here to help. they went into that meeting with the chief negotiators say that theresa may's plans the economic relationship between the uk and the eu have to brexit will not work, and that their plan for a more traditional free—trade agreement, the kind that the eu as with other countries around the world, would be much more appropriate. so they were basically coming here to say the prime minister was presenting something that they could not agree with. michel barnier is always very clear that these meetings are not negotiating sessions, he has his door open to all sorts of people from the uk because he wants to f

let's talk to our reporter in brussels adam fleming. if anything, into this previously unscheduled couple of meetings? it was unscheduled, unannounced, but not really that unexpected, because the way these talks have worked is that civil servants go so far and the officials go so far and then their political masters have to come in at the last minute and either solve issues that are unsolvable for the technocrats or to get the deal across the line and get a political sign off. i understand that the visits by raab today was not a victory lap or a signing ceremony in private, it was proper negotiating with barnier, especially over the thorny issue of the northern irish backstop, the back—up plan to prevent the reintroduction of the border between northern ireland and ireland if the trade relationship does not solve that problem. eu ambassadors from the 27 remaining member countries have been briefed by tim at barnier right now. i haven't been able to speak to any of them but what i have heard is that them but what i have heard is that the

our reporter, adam fleming, is in brussels. afternoon. meeting where they have had an update on the very latest on the brexit negotiations because even though the tory party conference has been happening, there have been informal talks between officials here in brussels this week. the mood music is very good, it would like there was progress on all the outstanding areas of the brexit treaty which was about 15—20% left but there is still one massive sticking point and it is this back—up plan, this insurance policy for preventing the reintroduction of checks between northern ireland and republic of ireland and that is the subject of a big diplomatic about of activity that has been taking place to day. a broken leg didn't stop the leader of sinn fein in northern ireland joining the dash to solve the irish border issue, with three other parties opposed to brexit making their case to the eu's chief negotiator. we want to protect the special relationship which we have, north—south and east—west. we need to see the protection of citizens' rights

oracle cofounder larry alison fleming google and other big tech names for their unwillingness to work with the u.s. military. while still entertaining offers from china. speaking exclusively to maria bartiromo. >> i don't see how a company like google can say okay were going to aggressively pursue business in china and stay away from doing anything with our u.s. military. it's a terrible miscalculation. u.s. tech companies who say we will not support the u.s. military. who would not work on any technology that helps our military, they get goes into china and facilitate the chinese government surveilling their people. it's pretty shocking. i think it's very important that the u.s. technology companies support our country, our government. we are a democracy. if we don't like our leaders we can throw them out. if you don't like the leaders in china, you can fill in the blank. lauren: is what google doing here a slap in the face to the country that made their rights possible, guys? >> i have four words. i love larry alison. think about this. this is a message to brennan page. your multibi

let‘s speak to adam fleming, who‘s in brussels for us. servants get so far and then their political masters have to sweep in either to sort out the outstanding issues or to get the deal across the line of. i‘m told dominic raab was not here for a victory lap, and this was actually a real, proper, substantive negotiating session, and that‘s because this northern ireland share issue, the so—called backstop, the backup plan for avoiding a hard border, is still a real sticking point. now, the 27 ambassadors from the remaining eu countries are having a meeting just over there right now, where they will get updated on progress. some people the mood music in some areas is good, others being a bit gloomy saying northern ireland is still really tricky. is this real, is it tactical? i honestly don‘t know, i think we will find out in the next few days, there is a summit on wednesday. much return to the mood here now. our political correspondent vicki young is here as well. vicki if we are close to a deal how is mrs may going to sell that at home? it

in a moment we'll get the latest from our correspndent adam fleming in brussels, but first to our chiefspondent vicki young at westminster. what did you pick up to date that might follow us something about the kind of progress or lack of it being made this week? i thought it was interesting that her tone was conciliatory saying that you thought the eu and the uk were not as far apart as they have been. she said we are not far apart. a very different tone to the one after that summit in austria. i think the most striking thing is that there was barely an mp who got up to support their position and the direction she is going in. she looked very isolated. the problem is it is not one group of people who with her. we have a view of the u0 sceptics in her own party very concerned about the idea of being ina very concerned about the idea of being in a customs arrangement. they wa nted being in a customs arrangement. they wanted to know if there will be a definite end to that. it date of some kind. she could not get that guarantee. shejust some kind. she could not get that guarantee. she just
