grady trimble live in chicago with more details on all of that. grady? reporter: connell, the the "wall street journal" mulled a couple offers and went with the one at softbank. they value the company at $8 billion. that is way down from the initial valuation of $47 billion. they would pay the embattled cofounder, $1.7 billion, essentially ending his ties with the company. it has been as you know a rough few months for wework. they had to pull the ipo last month. investors noted it had a lot of debt, posted massive losses month after month. as a result newman was forced out as ceo. wework is the latest ipo flop of 2019. lyft and pellloton posting disappointing debuts. wework had several offers including one from jpmorgan. the offer from softbank came just in time because the company previously said it would be out of money by mid-november. connell? connell: boy what a story. grady trimble. melissa: a trial that could change the landscape of american fossil fuel industry. exxonmobil going on trial at the new york state supreme court over the accusation th

"new york times," "washington post," "wall street journal," nbc, abc, fox news as well. this time around facebook will pay out licensing fees. depending

grady thank you. >> panel, big question here, do we need more regulation? is that what would solve this problem? >> first a tremendous sympathy for all of the victims. but you have to put the terrible crashing in some contact, air travel is safe, safer than driving, safer than walking down the street, safe because of companies like boeing, investigators found that boeing was at fault, but also the faa . the if itthey didn't follow thn rules, they are those who certified planes, they are ones that will get increases in budget. this show was another excuse for republicans and democrat to blame big businesslike it was toyota in 2010, or banks in 2008, it is hate for profit budgets, because government official hate the one people who are less popular than they, who are the ceo. >> human face in tragedies want to blame someone, i understand that. i have immense sympathy, this is so many facets going on with this. including airbus and boeing, boeing has been pilot centric, place a lot of autonomy and skill in pilots of hands, airbus said they will automate almost

we go to grady trimble right now in cleveland where all of this stands. hey, grady.trial was actually supposed to start in the courtroom behind me today but it ended up in a settlement at the very last minute, we're told all parties involved talk until the early morning this morning. that is when they reached a deal. the parties involved are the three big pharmaceutical distributors in the united states as well as the drugmaker teva pharmaceuticals. the amount is for $260 million. we're told a large pores of that will be paid out almost immediately to two ohio counties >> using this money for treatment, getting people into programs and assisting first-responders as they deal with this crisis. again, summit counties, they are just typical examples of what these drugs have done throughout this country. reporter: a trial is not off the table. walgreens was a fifth defendant in this case. they did not reach a settlement. they join a separate group of defendants, rite aid, cvs, walmart and target. what lawyers for plaintiffs are hoping, that trial and today's settlement w

melissa: grady out in the snow. we love it. thank you. neil: grady talked about trade. they're hoping to sign phase one of a china trade deal. president trump speaking out of the likelihood of a meeting with the chinese president xi xinping. blake burman at the white house with the latest on that. blake? reporter: connell, phone calls continued between the chinese and u.s. trade teams with a robert lighthizer, steve mnuchin and liu he are still on the schedule. there is question when and where a potential phase one portion of the trade deal can be signed because of the cancellation of the apec meetings. the president acknowledged that today in a tweet in which he wrote the following sayings, quote, china and the usa are working selecting a new site for signing of the phase one trade agreement. 60% of the total deal after apec in chile was canceled due to unrelated circumstances. the new location will be announced soon. president xi and president trump will do the signing. here is what i can tell you. speaking to multiple administration officials earlier today, they have

grady, any word on what the pickets are hearing out there and when it could become official? >> well, i would say that they are cautiously optimistic. in terms of when this tentative agreement becomes an official deal, it could be a while because all of the roughly 50,000 uaw general motors members will have to vote to ratify the contract. so for now they remain on the picket line. in the meantime, we're getting details about the contract. in terms of anything official, neither side is telling us exactly what the contract holds, but what we do know from a source close to the negotiations that one thing that was important for the union was creating a pathway to full-time employment for temporary workers. we are told they were able to put that into the contract. i actually talked with a temporary worker who was very excited to hear when this deal came down that it might include a provision for her -- she's worked three years for gm, she's still considered a temporary employee. now she tells me with this contract, there's a chance that three years equals full-time permanent empl

cheryl: grady trimble has the latest moving developments.ter: good morning, cheryl and lauren. lot of developments this morning. the strike will continue for at least another week. local union leaders met yesterday here and they voted to approve a tentative agreement but this is by no means over because they're going to keep the workers on strike until all nearly 50,000 of them vote to approve the agreement as well. so it's not a done deal. supporters of this contract say it increases wages and keeps at least one plant in detroit open. critics say it doesn't do enough to protect jobs. it confirms the closure of three general motors plants including one in lordstown, ohio. still, the union is calling the agreement a win, not just for gm workers, but for all middle class americans. >> it was about the hearts and minds of american workers and the middle class. >> reporter: gm is calling for the quick approval of this contract, saying this. the agreement reflects our commitment to u.s. manufacturing through the creation of new jobs and increased

what is the latest, grady? deal, cautiously optimistic i should say are these workers. they still don't know the details of the deal or tentative agreement. so they remain on the picket line. i talked to some of them as soon as word got out there was a tentative agreement between general motors and the uaw. they say they will be looking for very specific things in that agreement before they choose to pass the agreement. things like job security. will there be commitment from general motors to add jobs in the united states and keep jobs here as opposed to moving them, say to mexico? other things like health care and, path to full time employment for temporary workers. some of the picketers that i talked to say, they will look carefully and they will remain on strike, if they don't like the deal that they see. listen. >> feels good. people will be able to go back to work. people are struggling, but we're not going to go back until we have a good agreement. >> i need to make sure there is food on the table. so tha

grady. reporter: hard to see what progress has been made since uaw's recent offer, we talked through the night in weekend days and met at the bargaining table today. still no deal though. over the weekend the union was upping strike pay from $250, to $275. maybe a morale booster. it is $1000 less than hourly wages workers are used to making. analysts say workers have already foregone $624 million in wages if you calculate all 49,000 workers on strike. when you look at general motors, they have lost $1 billion in profits according to analysts. two issues that have been key sticking points throughout these contract talks have been wages and temporary workers. on the wages side, want to use this graphic to illustrate that. general motors in recent report, according to moody's pays its workers $63 per worker for hourly wages and benefits. when you compare that to foreign automakers with workers in the states, they're only paying 50-dollars per worker. on the temporary worker front. foreign autom

grady live with the latest. reporter: the pharmaceutical is one of the companies that reached a deal here today. but the company reached an even bigger settlement with several states worth $23 billion. here in ohio a landmark federal trial was set to begin but the drugmaker settled at the last minute with the big three drug distributors, cardinal health, amerisourcebergen, all of those chose fueling the opioid epidemic. they have agreed to a $260 million settlement and were told a large portion will be paid out to two ohio counties almost immediately to help with addiction treatment and education. >> we have problems now, people are suffering and dying now. we have to deal with these issues now. so the fact we were able to get the money in a short timeframe is very helpful. that is one of the motivations for settling this. >> walgreens was also a defendant in the ohio case. it was not part of today's settlement and could still go to trial with other major pharmacy chains like cvs and walmart. they said walgreens

grady trimble is in washington with more. grady?> liz, lawmakers grilled muilenberg for more than five hours. muilenberg saying he's committed to fixing the company's mistakes with the 737 max. for the second day in a row, family members watched on during the hearing as lawmakers asked those tough questions. several of them calling for muilenberg to step down as ceo. after the hearing, the mother of one of the victims approached muilenberg about that same issue. >> did things happen on your watch? you have to own it and you have to take responsibility to fix it. and that's what's in my character. and in the end, it is about safety. >> [inaudible]. >> i respect your inputs there. >> the hearing focused largely on that flight control system mcas that's been blamed in part for both of those crashes. muilenberg says the company working to fix it and that he personally is being held accountable for those problems. but some of the lawmakers questioned that. >> you're continuing to work and make 30 million dollars a year, after this horrif

grady trimble has more. he live with us, grady?eporter: i would say all signs are pointing towards a deal. the first time in 30 days i've been covering the strike, i said a deal could be imminent. looking more and more like it. you mentioned a big sticking point throughout the strike. a pathway to full time employment for temporary workers. so that's cheaper for the company to pay temporary workers. so obviously general motors has been pushing towards that. the union wants workers to be able to become full-time quicker. i'm told by a source they worked out a deal, details being worked out in that respect. but for full time, temporary workers to become full time in three years. now another thing that is indicated ad deal could be close a meeting held this morning. ceo mary barra rather met with the top negotiators for the uaw and general motors. she was basically at the main table where these conversations are happening. we aren't sure exactly what the details of the conversations are, but again, it seems like things are getting clo

grady trimble has breaking news on the uaw vote. what is it?e just learned from a source familiar with the vote that the workers have approved this contract, this tentative agreement, now effectively becoming a contract for them for the next four years, and also, effectively ending this 40-day strike. this strike has lasted as long, almost as long as any strike in the last several decades. it's the longest since 1970. workers foregoing thousands of dollars of wages over the last 40 days and apparently, they think that this deal is good enough for that 40-day strike to justify it. we have learned that they have approved it. we don't have the official numbers yet. we are still waiting on that officially from the uaw. we are expecting this to develop very quickly in the next half hour or so as they get that official vote count. we should be hearing from the uaw. we should also be hearing from general motors, who has lost up to $2 billion in this strike, but there you see general motors stock, it's been climbing all day on this expected news. it's

grady trimble has been following the story from day one and joins us now. grady?wo sides are back at the bargaining table despite a set back over the weekend. according to a source familiar with the negotiations, one key sticking point is general motors is unwilling to bring back any product lines from mexico. speaking of mexico, coincidentally general motors announcing today it had to temporarily lay off 41 workers at a plant in mexico. that is in the addition to 6,000 already temporarily laid off at a different plant and thousands more in canada. in a letter to union members over the weekend that, is when one of the top negotiators said the talks have taken a turn for the worse. the two sides both rejecting each other's offers. they did get back together today. there seems to be a big distance between what they want on many key issues including worker pay, profit sharing a path to full time employment for temporary workers. looking at general motors stocks it is down slightly today but down substantially since this strike started a few weeks ago. now in its fort

grady trimble live in detroit with more. grady?eporter: charles, both sides, uaw and general motors announced they have reached a tentative agreement but the details of that agreement are still unclear. other than the people who were in the negotiating room at time of these contract talks, nobody officially has paper in front of them yet, can tell you exact details of it. however i talked to workers here at the steps of the renaissance center in downtown detroit, general motors headquarters, they were picketing out here, when they got the news this strike might be coming to an end, they tell me they're cautiously optimistic about the deal. >> i'm excited. i'm happy. i still don't have any idea what it pertains to. you know, some agreement is better than none. we have to wait and see what unfolds, read it and you know hear from, you know the uppers and see what is going on. reporter: are you prepared to keep a strike going if this agreement isn't what you were hoping for? >> yeah. i mean i'm sure we're ready to be out here. we start

liz: all right, grady, i don't know if gm thought it would go on this long, but it is dragging on.nk you very much. the gm fight isn't the only drama going on in the midwest. farmers who have been losing money as their sales to china dried up over the past 18 months in this trade war got word friday from president trump that the channel to china has reopened. with 31 minutes before the closing bell rings, the nasdaq, the only major index in the green right now, up 3 points -- 3 points. phase one of the china trade deal seemingly in the works, including increased purchases by the world's second largest economy on everything from hogs to corn to soybeans. but are the president's superlatives about so called phase one matching reality? up next, we talk devil in the details of this potential cease-fire with one to have administration's front line trade war advisors, michael pillsbury, standing by live in our d.c. bureau. he has the president's ear, and nowe've got him.

grady?low, just about every american who wants a job right now has one but the authors of a new gallup survey would say that doesn't mean everyone has the job that they want. in fact, if you look at the numbers in a survey, most people surveyed say their job is either mediocre, just plain bad. less than half of the people surveyed say they have a good job at the survey found that when it comes to work, people are looking for more than just to make a buck. >> work-life balance. of course the pay, and benefits. >> anything else? >> low patience. a speaker you didn't mention pay. >> yeah. that's probably a third. yeah, that's probably a fair bit i don't know, i feel like i'm willing to concede some pay if the work-life balance and culture tops it but that's probably third on the list. >> the survey did find money does matter, higher earners are much more likely to say they have a good job. only about a third of people who make less than 24 grand a year like their job and interestingly, millenni

grady, any breakthrough?> well, we just learned that yesterday actually general motors ceo met with the top negotiators on the uaw side, which is significant because this is the first time that she has been as far as we know involved the negotiations in any way. i'm told the meeting lasted about an hour, and there were five people at this meeting. two of them were gm's top negotiators and barra herself as well as the top negotiators on the uaw side, gary jones who is the president of uaw and the vice president. as far as what was said in these talks and in this conversation, it is unclear, it depends on which side you asked, but i'm told the whole idea was to kind of inject new life into the negotiations. it appears to have done that because remember a couple days ago we told you that talks had kind of hit a wall and stalled out and that continued for several days into this week, but after this conversation, i did find out that negotiators met behind closed doors into the night on wednesday night and actually

grady trimble where the stocks stand right now. grady?e been talking about ripple effects of this strike. certainly it is causing disruptions across the automotive industry and now we have some numbers to quantify those disruptions. 100 employees that supply parts to general motors have had to lay off a lot of employees temporarily because of this strike. we're talking about 12,000 temporary layoffs of employees that don't even work for general motors because of this strike. these numbers are from an industry group that represents suppliers. the group says it might be hard for suppliers to get laid off workers back because the money is tight they might have moved to another job. we could see extended disruptions. more directly we're seeing that general motors may have to delay production of court vet stingry -- corvette stingray. the workers that make corvettes they're still officially on strike. the company says it is too early to speculate on production timing impacts because of this. only thing drags on. gm is losing up to $100 million

grady trimble following it all in washington. hey, grady. reporter: hi, neil.company made mistakes in the rollout of the 737 max. lawmakers today focusing on the company's culture and whether it let financial pressures drive production and its production timeline of the 737 max plane. they also especially focused on that flight control system that's been to blame at least in part for both of those crashes. muilenburg says he's been held accountable for those crashes. he specifically mentioned he's been stripped of his chairmanship, but at least in a very testy exchange, one lawmaker called that into question. >> you are continuing to work and make $30 million a year, after this horrific two accidents that caused all these people's relatives to go, to disappear, to die. you're not taking a cut in pay at all? >> congressman, again, our board will make those determinations. >> you're not accountable, then. reporter: family members of the victims are here again in the hearing room today. muilenburg acknowledged as he walked in this morning, he also met with them pr

grady trimble live now with the back and forth t has pretty nasty, hasn't it, grady? reporter: it has been calm, contentious accusations, questions muilenburg had to answer. namely relationship between boeing and faa, whether it was too cozy, whether boeing potentially knew about errors in the flight control system, the problems with that system, before at least one of the crashes potentially, both of them. also, the company as a whole, muilenburg in particular had been accused of putting profits over the safety of its case. safety is always a top priority. but he did admit to a mistake, admit to knowing, i guess i should say, he admitted there was a problem with the flight control system. >> we got the implementation wrong. i mentioned in my comments up front that we made some mistakes. we made a mistake in the implementation. reporter: senator richard blumenthal used his five minutes to have all families who are here, families of victims, stand up, hold up photos of the victims. he also accused boeing of essentially lying or concealing information to get that plane

grady trimble has been following all of the crosscurrents as we head into week five.> neil, 275 a week that is still about $1000 less than workers are used to getting when working in the assembly plants and parts distribution centers around the country. we're about a month into this strike. if you think about it, the bills are really piling up for the workers as they would be anybody in a month's time. they have car payments. they have mortgages or rents to pay, car insurance. they're trying to figure out how to get buy on that strike pay. even though it was upped but just by a little bit. who is losing more as the strike continues on the 29th day? just looking at numbers, general motors is. they have lost more than $1 billion according to one analyst, the workers on the other hand, about half that. they have given up $624 million in wages. but you know, a dollar means a lot more to worker than it does to a multibillion-dollar company. on top of that, moody's released a report last week saying this. a substantial portion of these earnings could be recouped by general

patrick grady.tle hoarse during the day's debates. mps were keen to offer assistance. thank you, mr speaker. and i do have a supply of throat sweets should you need them. but i admire your stoicism indeed. the speaker is clearly suffering from his voice. and he does put enormous hours in the chair. and he stays there for quite extreme times and has to shout at times to keep the house in order. would it be appropriate, or would the leader recommend, i don't know the propriety of this, whether the speaker is asked not to chair those sort of debates, especially on the european union, to protect his health? laughter. the expression "dream on" springs to mind. laughter. in his party conference speech on wednesday, borisjohnson suggested voters would enjoy seeing the speaker in a celebrityjungle undergoing some bush tucker trials. john bercow was keen to reassure mps about his health — and his sense of humour. colleagues, i am very grateful to the large number of people who have come up to the chair expre

>> guest: what mick i think, mick is grady getting into the wheat i think he was trying to explain that our aid, our 400 million is that something we which is give away. nor is40 it something this president is not just a given. we have given way too much in this country over the years and what he was trying to explain was that it was just aid is going to be contingent on corruption, weeding out corruption at all levels. i think he got tied up in the statement quid pro quo, which are don't think that's what he meant. i know the press is parsing his words on that but i don't think that's what he meant. he just says our aid would be looked at, it's not going to be a given, and corruption as part and i think that's what he meant by that. >> host: on capitol hill yesterday the u.s. ambassador to the eu, then your time said he told lawmakers behind closed doors that on thursday president trump delicate american foreign policy on ukraine to his personal lawyer, richard giuliana, a directive he said he disagreed with but he said he followed it nonetheless. he has emerged as a central figure in

grady trimble in the middle of it all in detroit. grady. >> there is a deal. are still on the picket line, because the union leaders across the country who gathered in detroit yesterday, they will keep them on the picket line until they have their voices heard. until they vote on the tentative agreement. john is one of the people who will be voting on the agreement and you told me you're going to vote yes. why is that? >> there is no concession give backs on the contract. it's a good contract. we're able to keep the health care, affordable health care where there was no large co-pays. we got a 3 and 4% raise over the four years. so yeah, everything is looking good. reporter: you like the contract. the uaw said it is a good deal. gm wants it passed quickly. there are some workers, specifically those who live in towns or used to live in towns where plants are closing don't like it as much. what do you say to the people who might consider voting no on this which would keep the strike going even longer? >> i do feel for my union brothers and sisters in lordstown,

grady judge is the sheriff of polk county florida. are you surprised by this?> i'm not surprised at all, tucker, i was involved with a first step act trying to stop it. we were being pressured by the democrats, by the republicans, and by the white house all to pass this law. and we warned them, we were in profits but when you when you let violent criminals out of jail, they murder, rape, and rob. >> tucker: we spent an awful lot of time about this law, the only people getting out of jail are people who were there because they were caught with a joint in high school and sentenced to life in prison. not a single violent person getting out. were we dumb to believe that? >> tucker, i can tell you they intentionally misled the people of the united states. there was arm-twisting, not on the arm twisting, the twisted arms off all the way to the shoulder to get this past. we warned them there would be murders. in fact, this person that they are seeking out of rhode island now already has had two arrests in just the eight months since he's been released from custody. >>

grady trimble will follow, is following it all for us.eporter: i would think so as well. what we do know the meeting has been going on since 9:30 eastern time this morning. what they're talking about, what they're discussing at this meeting we're trying to work it out. this is the second positive sign that a tentative agreement might be near just in the last 12 hours. yesterday the union sent a letter to its local leaders calling them to detroit, summoning them to detroit for a meeting. typically this would be indication that an agreement is near because the leaders have to vote on the agreement before the rank-and-file typical union members workers would vote on an agreement and a contract. so it looks like things are moving in the direction of an agreement. that meeting is taking place on thursday. the meeting with ceo mary barra and union leaders and top general motors negotiators. that is happening right now. if we get anymore details on that meeting, whether there is actually a solid, tentative agreement we'll let you know. charles:
