project has with fta. we extended a contract like this. and fta said no. just the new -- like we are going to look at the new procurement policies because of the fta. they are really looking at this stuff very hard. and we, of course, are trying to see how we are going to deal with. that but this is the sort of thing where -- they have been with us. these were the contractors that had been doing the job. and we had to extend the schedule. so we just went out there and same rate, same everything. same contractor. fta said no. rebid. so i think we need to keep aware of that now. i don't know what fta money is left. maybe none. maybe we are at ccf money totally here which means then can't complain, and that's what i hope but this is something that in the procurement policy we just did, because of the fta rules indicates just how serious they are about stings, contract stings. >> within the report i do identify that this is going to be funded by program reserve which is -- >> in financing. and the other element that is important, there's a nine-year criteria a

they do not see an fta as a way to reduce trade deficit. is a larger economic framework that might offer other opportunities for deficit reduction, but certainly not a narrow fta. david: so president trump tweeted out that he is looking forward to his meeting. on friday he was tweeting that we have a problem with japan and trade. from the japanese perspective that you understand, how do they think they can address this?? inhe puts so much capital coming with him on the journey, mr. trump tweeted out about japan, and then he barred japan and key allies. there is confusion on the japanese side. david: there are two things there. there is tpp. president trump has said we might want back in. on the other hand, they included steel and aluminum tariffs on japan. is there a way out of this box through a tpp 12, if you will? i think that is what the japanese are hoping for. i expect them to come for a larger framework on either getting the united states into tpp or creating a pathway that would make that happen or trying to think out loud with pres

the mercedes driver overtook sebastien battle and ba ftas got a driver overtook sebastien battle and a lot more for you. a bbc radio 5 live investigation has uncovered a boom in fake online reviews — despite official warnings three years ago that they needed to be curbed. the competitions and markets authority has estimated that around £23 billion spent every year is influenced by feedback on review sites. the 5 live investigates presenter, adrian goldberg, gave more details about theirfindings. this is big business. we are talking about £23 billion of influence, £23 billion worth of goods that are bought following the reading of online review stores. as you say, it was said that there needed to be a crackdown. we decided to look atjust how is excess full of crackdown has been. we found, for example, that we could buy forjust $1 99 a positive review on ebay. that is a review that we wrote, which was then posted on the trustpilot website. we discovered that amazon, which in 2016 cracked down on free products return for positive reviews, you can go onto closed facebook groups and if yo

because you heard also president trump threatening nafta and mexico's participation in fta. it seems, though, that you'd all be experiencing negoations that we heard, at least from the mexico side, seemed to be going quite well. what is the status of the nafta discussions under way right now and were you caught off guard by president trump threatening that nafta deal today? >> well, you know, the administration's position on the north american free trade agreement have been public for quite some time now. we are engaging in negotiations. the eighth round will soon take place. we believe nafta has been on balance a very successful agreement for the three countries. we do recognize that it's a 25-year-old agreement that can certainly be improved, updated and modernized. that is where the negotiating teams are focused on. it's in the interest of the three nafta partners to help employment conditions throughout the region. we share that view with the administration and our canadian friends. that is what we're concentrated on. nafta, it's not so much only about what we trade amon

the rank, in the sense that they are negotiating brexit, obviously, whereas our mandate for the eu ftae that one precedes the other, but we see both as critical. so there you were watching television, and you found out i'm going to lad this country. yes, that's right. how was that? what happened inside? it was — yeah, it was quite an overwhelming moment. because unlike on election night, where you've quite a big buildup, you can see where the numbers are going, it wasjust bam. i was standing in my office, surrounded by my team. my partner was there trying to capture the moment. i had my hands on my face for most of it, i think, probably in nervous anticipation. but it was extraordinary. and we went straight from there into media stand—up, planning for finalising negotiations. we literally took four days between then and swearing in the government, and it was very fast. and so by the time i got home at 11:00pm that night, i celebrated with a pot of needles in my flat. yeah, there has been no time to pause. do you find all these questions about the baby intrusive? they're very personal.

and the ftas take very long to negotiate.s are trying to fool the public by saying the commonwealth will replace the european union, it's not going to happen. today, the trade britain does with the commonwealth is 9% of britain's trade and 44% of britain's trade is with the european union. it's going to take a century for any change to take place and it's not going to happen because today, countries in the commonwealth have a choice. in the past, they had to buy british goods because britain considered these colonies to be captive markets. but today, each country has a choice. each country will go for the best and each country will go for the best price. and what is best for them economically. it's not about emotional ties or historical ties. exactly. i think it's a club which is toothless because it is a nice place to get together. but the big boys are missing, four of the five permanent members of the un security council are not there. germany is not present, japan is not present. so it's an organisation which talks and tal

97 million is proposition a transportation go bond funds, and other committed funds include federal fta, state of good repair money. general fund, impact fees, and local sales tax. now that the city has developed a proposed consensus design for the first time, the team is aggressively seeking more. we did not received a $39 million state fund grant for the local program. we have other sources we can seek in the coming years, the active transportation program, build as well as spa capital investment grants. public works and mca are committed to filling and completely funding the entire project. as expected, we've also segmented the project for delivery, and we'll advance the stretch between sixth and eight streets for the first segment of construction. this allows us to deliver an independent portion of the project and also allowing us to use the funds we've already secured in a timely manner. again, happy to answer any questions you may have. >> all right. supervisor stefani? >> thank you for your presentation. just a couple of questions. how much has been spent so far planning this pro

is it going to be in the direction of fta or tpp? so i'd like to hear the views from both of you. prime minister abe: so at this time, between president trump, talks for free, fair, and reciprocal trade deals to initiate that has been agreed. as for this talk, minister motegi and ambassador lighthizer, ustr, will be the epresentative. and mr. ase and vice president pence, the u.s.-japan economic dialogue where they will be receiving the report of these talks. as for these talks, i thought that it would be the interest of both of the countries that the investment and trade between the two countries will be expanded. and we are going to realize a free and open indo-pacific economic growth. so on the u.s. side, that they are interested in a bilateral deal, we are aware of that. but at any rate, our country's position is that tpp is the best for both of the countries. and based on that position, we shall be dealing with the talks. president trump: thank you very much. the united states has a massive trade deficit with japan. it's anywhere from $69 billion to $100 billion a year. that'

fta,the trade deal include or is that too early? was surprised that the correspondent of the white house were not focusing on these two key issues. i am sorry to be critical. haidi: it is great to have these frank views from you, mr. ambassador. do you think there is a coherent strategy with north korea? we have the same emphasis on north korea -- you think that will translate to a tough enough stance to complete denuclearization? yes, but what is important is not only denuclearization, it is also missiles as well. nuclear isort of important as well. pressure --mum pressure, a maximum there is a step-by-step approach. denounce some,y we will finance sanctions. and if you continue on until they abandon everything, while that be acceptable to north korea? we are talking maximum to the very end. but is that really practical? that is something that comes to my mind as well. ramy: hold on one second because we are also watching the landing of the spacex falcon rocket right now. we have a guest waiting in the wings. the successful landing

in regard to trade, you're going to establish new is it going to be in the direction of fta or tpp? i'd like to hear it from both of you you. >> so between president trump, , the talks before the free, fair and resip row cal trade deals to initiate debt has been agreed. minister and ambassador will be the representative and mr. aso and vice president pence, u.s. japan economic dialogue will be receiving the report. as for the talks, this will be in the best of both countries, the trade between the two will be expended and asia pacific economic growth. so under u.s. that they are interested in a bilateral deal, at any rate, country's position is that tpp is the best for both of the countries and based on that position, we shall be dealing with the talks. >> thank you very much. the united states has a massive trade deficit with japan. it's anywhere from $69 billion to $100 billion a year. that's massive by any standpoint. we are doing 232 on steel and aluminum and if we can come to an arrangement on a new deal between the united states and japan, that would certainly be something we

fix for the deficit, they don't buy into this logic that a trade deficit is the problem or that the fta and mr are they will still try to use that framework within which the us—japan economic relationship can progress. thank you. theresa may says she acted "with speed" and in the best interested of the uk. but today the prime minister was accused of displaying a "flagrant disregard" for parliament over the syrian air strikes. jeremy corbyn, who has called for a war powers act which would give parliament a greater say in future military action, said mrs may had "tossed aside" a convention that prime ministers seek the support of the commons — because it was "inconvenient". i'm sorry to say the prime minister's decision not to recall parliament and engage in further military action in syria last week showed a flagrant disregard for this convention. this was underscored by the secretary of state for international development, who said yesterday, "outsourcing that decision to people who do not have the full picture is quite wrong and i think the convention that was established is very wrong

we had a free trade agreement, bilateral fta with the u.s. for over a decade.t relationship is strong. ultimately we want to avoid at all costs an opportunity where you may have action and retaliation in relation to trade. >> is australia going to be permanently exempted from some of these tariffs >> that's the deal reached by the prime minister and the president. we'll see may 1st when that rolls around we recognize that the u.s. administration has to make -- put in place policy tools that reflect what they're doing with all countries, not just australia in isolation but having that agreement reached between the prime minister and president, we're working closely with the u.s. administration on what that looks like >> if china is your biggest trading partner, are there repercussions when these negotiations with the united states and china get so tense? >> it's not just confined to china. these are implications that are global in context. i look at some discussions between the u.s. and europe. i look at the discussions taking place between the u.s. and china. i

produce.cannot but steel and aluminum does not balance out with new fta or something. if you lift this for you do that kind of discussion by president trump does not really do anything. the text and iad have to be very careful. a little incomprehensible to me. [laughter] appreciate your very frank views. thank you very much for joining us. the joint news conference at mar-a-lago after two days of talks between president trump and shinzo abe. we have this sense of mixed messaging in terms of where we tbd versusade, bilateral deals when it comes to north korea as well. chiro joining us. a very busy how it was an busy ahead. lift off in space. maybe not lift off when it comes to the u.s. japan relationship, but a lot to get through. trying to get answers to all the questions you are asking, seems like we still had mixed messages when it comes to tpp. seems like president trump is saying look, i will only be for the tpp deal if i can get a deal i cannot refuse. but he is still referring bilateral trade deals, which for japan might not be a good deal right now. the politica
