fortress america, trump signs the orderfor the mexico wall fortress america, trump signs the order for to ban migrants from seven nations. holding true to his promise? absolutely, quite a surprise for many commentators who thought he would be more moderate. within a matter of days, he has signed a number of executive orders and as well as building the small, it is unclear how this will be paid for. he said that torture works, he has lifted the ban on cia blackspot presents... well... i discussion paper suggests that he was going to ask the security services to look into whether it might be worth that. the white house has made clear it is not a white house document. but he said torture works. there is a signal of intent, paving the way. they are putting this up there as a kite? that is what people think. and there is this outlandish investigation into voterfraud, which is this outlandish investigation into voter fraud, which seems slightly bizarre given that he has one. there are lot of peeves coming from mrtrump one. there are lot of peeves coming from mr trump since the top job. and h

companies, when you say domestically focused stocks -- are there companies in this basket of fortress americakind of reflects that whole america first outlook from the white house? ah, i'd like to take a step back here. i think we have to look at what fundamentals are happening. somely, we ended 2016 with great momentum in manufacturing, services, construction pmi. the underlying outlook for global growth has modestly improved. we still have a reasonable outlook for china as well. we are forecasting 6.5% growth. i think the america play is interesting, but i think it's possibly too early. we need to see some real details and policies before making those sorts of decisions. so, our outlook is still very much positive in regards to markets. more likely for the second half of this year. yvonne: so, we are seeing a little bit in terms of global growth improvement. you mentioned the uncertainty regarding some of the policies, some of the reasons why so many investors are piling into u.s. equities right now. is the market going to be focused on equities in the short-term when it comes to central ba

what signals is the president sending out about fortress america?bassador to the us. also tonight, britain promised hong kong it would help preserve its political freedoms in law. we fear the midnight knock at our door. we are no longer even safe in our own beds. we may be in hong kong, we may have broken no hong kong law, but we can still be made to disappearfrom hong kong soil. nearly 20 years on from the handover to china, democracy looks increasingly fragile. have we let down the people of that former territory? we speak to hong kong's last governor, chris patten. and this: it puzzles me that you think yourself qualified to attack me, given that i have 30 years experience in the archives and my books have been published by some of the greatest publishing houses in the world. a new film — denial — tells us how holocaust denier david irvine tried to sue a historian in the high court. i ask the scriptwriter david hare about lies and libel in the current climate. good evening. as ever, it started with a tweet. shortly after 2:30am, president trump a

donald trump's vision of a fortress america the new president ordered the construction of the great wallcan border and he said it would begin within months. a nation without borders is not a nation. beginning today, the united states of america gets back control of its borders. we are going to get the bad ones out, the criminals and the drug dealers and gangs and gang members and cartel leaders. is over when they can stay in our country and recover it. strengthening and expanding the existing barrier on this frontier will be hugely expensive, as the trump says mexico will pay, but mexico says it wants and the president now admits american taxpayers will have to cough up first. ultimately it will come out of what's happening with mexico. we will be starting those negotiations relatively soon and we will be reimbursed by mexico. so they will pay us back? absolutely, 100%. so the american taxpayer will pay for it at first? we will be reimbursed at a later date. but here in this mexican border city, business leaders are worried about the impact on trade and sceptical about the plants. the pr

these ideas of fortress america or kicking them out or anything that goes wrong is a sign of someone's fault. a very unhealthy way to think about the nation that we are. i remind people -- people say why can't we be more like israel.is first of all, there's no comparison. and any given moment in the united states or 24-hour period there are over 1.4 million people getting on domestic flightness the united states. think of that. think -- that's awesome. that's a good thing from the perspective, but that's always going to have -- just going to create level's vulnerability. so the mantra of the book is don't be scared, get prepared. if people realize i can do something as i do with my kids and having them put on heal helmets or talk to them about cyberbullying, i can do something about it for the one thing that matters the most which is the threat that our nation can face today and thead years ahead. >> host: is tsa part of dhs. >> guest: yes. >> host: do is work? >> guest: they're a lot of challenges tsa. there is a -- there's a clear way in which tsa has changed or lowered the vulnerabi

donald trump's vision of a fortress america was at the heart of his controversial campaign for the presidencyllenge of pulling up the drawbridge, by strengthening and extending the existing barriers on his country's frontier with mexico. ultimately it will come out of what is happening with mexico and we will stop those negotiations relatively $0011. stop those negotiations relatively soon. when will construction begin? as soon as we can physically do it. as soon as we can physically do it. a few months? i would say so, yes. mexico continues to resist any effort to make it pay for the wall. here in the mexican border city of tijuana, business leaders are worried about the impact on trade and sceptical about the president's plans. the problem is that the majority of americans are not really familiar with the border. and consequently the idea of a wall seems to be appealing. we already have one. we call it the tortilla curtain. but the truth of the matter is that, you know, i think that is a symbol. this fence at the pacific ocean is the very start of the land border between mexico and the unit

that whenk over where i look at where bank of america fits in with other banks, what will be the distinctive feature you look at from fortressate environment really helps them on the yield curve. investthat, plus they heavily in the businesses, as discussed, the consumer and wealth management -- that will give them margin improvement in 2017. ultimately, if you took a snapshot of the last five years, most of these calls with bank of america have been on regulation -- have been about regulation and legal cases. i think in this situation we are moving from doom and gloom to more of a glimmer of hope, especially with a new trump administration leading to friendlier regulation and a debate with the federal reserve about dodd-frank. francine: what do they need to do in terms of cost cuts? ken: cost cuts come in two components. there are really two drivers. you mentioned compensation. we have noted that because the fourth quarter was not a great quarter for investment banking, those bonuses probably will be down. year-over-year. but as i said before, it is really the investment in the consumer, banking, they will get wider margins
