finally, we have to liquidate labor labor market. it's an area that conservatives have celebrated the demise of because the 1930s style unions that it is today, are a disaster. in theory, the premise of organized labor should be one we are excited about. we should want workers to organize, to work for the mutual aid, to bargain collectively with employers. there are other systems organized labor in the world, some in europe, some even flourishing outside of the traditional system in the u.s. it points in the way, in that direction we should be speaking positively about. then finally, we have the option, if you want more of something, you can subsidize it. if we need more low-wage jobs, we need them to pay better, it is within our capacity to put more money into people's paychecks. that doesn't have to mean that the federal government spends more money, we spend more than a trillion dollars a year on the safety net. virtually all of which, because either toward things that are actively is courage work or ignore it entirely. it would b

the exception is the labor market and the reason the labor market is the exception is because people are products. i don't mean it is important but in the moral sense people are products but what i mean in the very concrete economic sense people are products. for one thing, the supply of people is not responsive to market . once you get past the sort of subsistence agriculture level where the population you can support is dependent on the labor market functioning, we are going to have the people we have in this society and roughly speaking, they're going to have the aptitudes they have had chemists have been paying, earning very large multiples on what cashiers turn were very for a very long time and that does not allow family to shift their production line from cashier to chemists. we have the next of people that we have and that's not going to change. the second related point then is that we care where the labor market lands. the efficient outcome labor market is giving us is one that says a pretty significant share of the population doesn't have a lot of productive things to contr

labor m.p. chris voice was sent to explain the opposition's strategy because one of some a lot of people been quite surprised by the labor leadership tactics this week in table a vote of confidence in the prime minister which doesn't have priority in parliament to business as opposed to table one and no conference in the government which would have to explain what's going on in terms of what is a prime minister who is in the frame i mean he she is the one who's been dragging its feet and i think the feeling was that it was appropriate to say well a motion of no confidence in her premiership she's clearly not fit for purpose she's somebody who has completely destroyed these negotiations it seems it was in relation to the european union and britain's relationship but with the you i think as far as putting a vote in a companies in the government at this stage is concerned i know some people have a dog in that we should do that because they want to get on to this whole issue about a second referendu

why people would be forced to labor. what convinced louisiana to open its penitentiary was learning that the penitentiaries in the north were actually making money for the state. they were bringing a profit from their labor and the prisons and the north were contracted to private contractors and they were adding money to the state coffers. so louisiana opened its penitentiary. it was essentially like all penitentiaries at the time, it was a factory. louisiana and other states in the south saw it as a way to help industrialize the south and take kind of the northern monopoly on industry and bring it south. shortly after louisiana open its penitentiary and articles written in newspapers and other states in the south praising the penitentiary and suggesting that slaveowners kind of learned from the infantry system. it was kind of the frontier of any type of forced labor in the south. it was industrial, and they suggested that slaveowners use women and children to work on cotton mills instead of out in the fields where they

the labor m.p. you get a bit what are you the party leadership might be softening towards a soft break so no actually i don't think so i think i've got a lot of confidence in our leadership because i think jeremy's instincts are very clearly. to get a sight he accepts the result of the referendum he knows that he's got to keep his party together he's played it quite carefully balancing what is never party policy which of course is that if we don't get the general election then all options are open including a second referendum but it's generally thought the labor membership are sympathetic towards the main on the second referendum but you're suggesting that labor support those white of the membership have a different view yes and it's i think the difference is too in london you know it's very easy when we're here in london and very much labor is kind of dominated by by now. not to which it didn't used to be to forget that i side there when. she get into the. they really are a lot of. seventy percent

while the international labor organization sees that global child labor trends of dropped africa remains a region with the highest number worth over fifty nine million child laborers. india's aviation industry is booming dozens of budget airlines offer cheap flights across the country to many indians however it's a luxury they can't afford but they can still experience what it's like to be an airline passenger. it's a day these children will remember all their lives for many it's the first time aboard an aircraft. but this plane won't be taking off the flight to nowhere is an airline with a difference when up with all the honor it offers passengers a taste of flying without ever leaving the ground. many schoolchildren here a poor or their families cannot afford a real ticket the passengers are treated to a full in fly. experience they receive boarding cards safety briefings. even refreshments are served in board it's an eye opening experience. i've seen planes in the sky i used to think they were really small but now i know they actually huge . i now want to fly to london i've heard that

party where is the labor party in all of this seems to be very quiet. yes mrs may doesn't say that she says a deal is better than no deal and she is very afraid of no deal so let's just be up to date catherine secondly on the labor party yes we have an issue here because at the moment the labor party is not clear where it's going it wants a general election a general election is very hard to get and would a general election result in a negotiated situation at this late stage on the timetable we have very unlikely so of course we have a number of options which are very difficult to define and that leads us very often i think to thinking about a referendum situation when many people didn't want to see a second referendum that it may never inevitably lead to that so yes a motion of no confidence asking for a general election under our fixed term general elections actually which is labor party policy is a very difficult prospectus to deal with nobody's arguing that that it's going to be easy but we are now in this dog's breakfast or dog's breakfast somebody

that always played an important role in organized labor for lots of reasons came to the conclusion we need some sort of broad amnesty to take them out of the shadows to organize them but then there was another tendency on the left and by the way i don't say this derisively it is a noble value but those that are rights oriented to talk about immigration not as a labor issue but rather an issue of human rights and equal dignity of all persons so to have that centerleft coalition for that third line labor component it has become a smaller part of the coalition the discourse is a lot more important so with those of the democratic socialists they really do have that ethic to say i take seriously i consider culture limits and restrictions but to a lot of people particularly in the nineties and 2000 i often find it where i am on these issues to say those values are important but the system has to be limited and measured and more careful and i think that cosmopolitan voices on the libertarian right but also certain parts of the left and way more prominent. >> host: that is interesting the typ

the labor market and the real economy are clearly booming. we are headed toward the top of the business cycle, meaning that as we compare it to the recession five or 10 years ago, we have made incredible progress. we are seeing that when you have a booming economy and you have tight and you have a labor market, lots of employers who are trying to hire people, that is a great thing for workers. the problem is it is not right to compare how we are doing now to how we were doing in the recession. obviously we are doing better now than we were. to understand what has been happening in our economy coming up to compare one boom to another boom. you have to compare now to 2007, before the recession, or how were we doing in 2000 before the burst or the late 1980's before that recession hit. you find each boom has been a little weaker than the one before it. we are not seeing wages grow as rapidly as we had in prior booms. in terms, especially for the share of men working full times, we have a much higher share of men without work. each boom we find w

is to focus onnt the laborers that made it possible. we talk about chinese immigrants who came to the region in the mid-to late 19th century who brought their centuries long wealth of knowledge with them relating to citrus cultivation and harvesting. one thing we talk about here is that citrus began in china. 7000s discovered in china years ago. to traveled throughout the world -- it traveled throughout the world and evolved into thousands of varieties. those chinese immigrants had some of that knowledge with them, that long time of cultivation and harvesting. that cultural knowledge was part of it. one thing we like to highlight here, things from best practices , havevesting techniques to take the fruit appropriately without damaging the tree or fruit. also, they worked in the packing houses as well. how to handle the fruit carefully so the integrity of the skin is not compromised and it will withstand transport. that cultural knowledge was vital in addition to the labor they provided as pickers and packers in the industry when it is f

some provisionsre of nafta, stricter rules for the auto industry and labor and a few other things and is going to come up for a vote as soon as next year. president trump has indicated going to pull out of nafta and if congress doesn't pass usmca agreement, u.s. to be left with nothing. that's what we are. >> host: bill, i want our viewers to listen to the present talk about the benefits of this agreement when you signed at the g20 and how to respond to that the usmca is the largest most significant modern and in history.rievant all of our country's will benefit greatly. it is probably the largest trade deal ever made also. in the united states a new trade pact will support high high-pag manufacturing jobs up about greater access for american exports across the range of sectors includingic our farming, manufacturing and service industries. >> guest: it's not really the largestes agreement ever signed. the european union was probably the largest. i think the agreement has been well received in the business community and the farm agriculture community certainly. there is nervousness bec

alive with the city labor principles to ensure they are making a fair wage. i completed an r.f.p. for legal services. it was important the firm selected had deep experiences in working with lapco. i brought in two very sharp interns. i have an intern working on mobility study. i have been attending various conferences this year for the first time ever sf had a presence at the conference and i have relationships and meet with ththe advocates and reach out to every member of the board of supervisors. we are here in special studies and we are here to serve you the board of supervisors. thank you. >> thank you, brian. questions? supervisor stephanie. >> supervisor stefani: you mentioned legal services. does the city attorney not cover it? >> no, they have a special attorney. our city attorney does not cover lapco it is outside that jurisdiction. >> okay. thank you. >> i want to thank brian for rebuilding the office of lapco and taking on interns and a deep work plan. lapco had gone through a couple worksion was the california lapco with guidance to the role and i

the prime minister. >> when a labor government comes in. what this government has done is introduced national living wage. conservative, not labor. we have taken millions of people out of paying taxes altogether. conservative, not labor. under this government, 3.3 million jobs have been created. every labor government leaves office with unemployment higher than when it went in. what do we see under this government? our economy is growing, employment is rising, investment is up, we are doing the nhs the biggest taxes in history, taxes are being cut, wages rising, labor would destroy all that. this conservative government building of a brighter future for our country. [shouting] >> thank you, mister speaker. as my right honorable friend knows none of us look forward to smear tactics but it can make a difference between life and death. a third of women are missing out on cervical screening. i write animal friends what steps are being taken to make sure women get tested and don't suffer the terrible consequences of picking up cancer too late. >

we have to find ways to make the labor market work better. the problem for the left of center has been, when the economic growth has not been benefiting everybody, the answer has been, we need to collect more in taxes from the people it does benefit, and give that to people it does not benefit, but that is not enough. that does not actually solve the problems that they have. the way we need to approach focus, the way we need to policy is on the labor market. how can we build the labor market and the society that is going to work for workers of all kinds? let worker support their families and communities. we can get the growth, prosperity, that i think we all really want at the end of the day. host: our guest in new york has been oren cass, senior fellow at the manhattan institute and author of this book entitled "the once and future worker: a vision for the renewal of work in america." thanks a lot for your time this morning and for them to our of conversation on the future of work in this country. appreciate it. mr. cass: it was my pleasure,

let the labor market run hotter?62.9% last month, the month president trump came to office. a tug-of-war. more workers. older workers have lower per tusa patient rates. i recovery -- participation rates. the rates for women have canceled each other out. we will not see it go much above 63%. if it gets there, maybe it will get there this morning. my guess is, there is not too much slack left on labor force participation more than, unless we do things to draw people back to labor markets. make the markets more accessible to women with children. maternity leave. things that scandinavian countries and canada do, that have higher participation rates for women then we have. alix: if we don't get that, can we sustain lower unemployment rate? how long? >> that comes down to inflationary pressure. inflationary pressure. wage growth and how that feeds through to prices. it does not look like there is too much pressure getting out of hand. rates stay too low to long with an economy above potential, that could lead to financial

britain's labor party is. received. from the government from all the lying smear campaign. belgium's. museum the democratic republic of congo the return of seized when it was a belgian college. live from moscow every hour of the day this is our international hello and welcome my names you know neal our top story in france is political elite union chiefs are meeting with the country's president. enough for almost four weeks of nationwide protests by the yellow vests movement on the parts all of us were left strewn with burned out cars shattered rubber bullets in what was the worst rioting in over a decade charlotte she's been in the french reporting for the last number of days here's her report. but addressed the nation is eagerly awaited by many yellow vest protesters who've been asking for president to speak to him directly since the start of these protests back on november seventeenth this will be the first time that he will directly address the french finance minister describe these protests that have been going on now for the last four weekends as being an economic cata

we want it to be a better visit on constituents and the labor mayor needs to get his finger out of it. >> in 1997 the british prime minister issued an apology to the people of island for the historic role, 1 million people died and the million people displaced from their homeland. that is a powerful and important message. will the primus to condemn any notion, any suggestion food shortages in ireland are used from britain? >> can i say to the honorable gentlemen i am happy to give that assurance, we would not use that issue in any sense in the negotiation strategy. we want to ensure we are providing a good brexit for the uk and ireland and the european union. >> neil o'brien. >> my constituency were to me to say i urge you to support our prime minister unreservedly. the prime minister as dennis terrific job in trying circumstances, headbangers from all sides of the labour party mentioned an impossible job where she has done so well and an employer of 30 people in the harvard constituency. this would cause political chaos and open the door to the worst possible scenario for the country

party yes we have an issue here because at the moment the labor party is not clear where it's going it wants a general election a general election is very hard to get and would a general election result in a negotiated situation at this late stage on the timetable we have very unlikely so of course we have a number of options which are very difficult to define and that leads us very often i think to thinking about a referendum situation when many people didn't want to. asking for a general election under a fixed term general elections actually which is labor party policy is a very difficult prospectus to deal with nobody's arguing that that it's going to be easy but we are now in this dog's breakfast or dog's breakfast somebody called it because it was so badly negotiated from the start but we were never going to get the same deal as being in the e.u. with all of those benefits so yes we are now in the situation with. with them the prime minister's deal which is which is bad no deal which is disastrous or we have these options of a general election or a referendum and when they are

community and members of labor on this project. as the supervisor mentioned, the key three issues around threshold provide $5 million runway for l.b.e.s and language to facilitate direct entry for city build graduates were key priority so we're here to answer questions if needed. >> supervisor cohen: thank you for representing the mayor's office. at this point we're going dive in and start talking about the amendment. we'll start the discussion and take public comment and then take action on the item. very quickly, before we go to the amendments i want to pivot back to the budget legislative office and hear their report to us. >> this legislation, if enacted, would probably result in some cost to city departments. i know there's been some discussion with members of the board. we have not provided a specific cost estimate in the absence of knowing what the implementation would look like. the city services auditor did a review a couple years ago. they looked at p.u.c. which had five positions of p.l.a. for the water improvement progr

labor side. so by most indicators, we look at a very wide range of indicators on the labor market, and by most indicators, we are at or even above longer run normal levels, but i would point to one particular pocket, and that is labor force participation by younger, prime age workers, particularly prime age males is still meaningfully below its precrisis level. other age groups in both genders have moved back up pretty close to where they were at the last cyclical peak. you know, there is a question, can we go above that cyclical peak? are the problems more structural than cyclical? we will have to find that out. i think given the strong economy we have had the luxury of finding out that labor force per dissipation can be higher than we thought, and that is nothing but a good thing. >> with the american banker. a regulatory question, if i may. so many of the fed's regulatory proposals so far, especially this year, have been entirely ofused on banks in the sort medium to small range, that is sort

the labor government is fading fast. bevan dies in april, 51. labor has been in power since 1945.churchill is now circling in for the kill. as leader of the opposition. his denouncing the labor government so-called hangdog diplomacy. and he returns to power in october 1951. very little has been studied about churchill's second time as prime minister, his only time as prime minister during peace. and in my view it's the most dramatic part of his life. he comes to office determined to restore the authority of the british empire. the power of the british empire. his ministers are convinced that the empire given its global deployment, its resources, its alliances, could possibly surpass the clout of the united states. and certainly had far more experience and dominated by excellence if not by both weight military technologies. churchill was also backed by anthony eden, his loyal deputy, who was often seen as a counterpart for dean atchinson, secretary of state from january 49 until the end of the truman administration. eden himself was a world figure. in the legendary diplomat. this w

labor m.p. stayed high up in this call for a second referendum and what he is hoping for that yes as barbara said that there would be a request basically that theresa may withdraw it facts parliament if she can't go ahead deal passed in parliament parliament what she want he said hoping that m.p.'s were running around germany coping with say ok we'll look at a second referendum they will ask the e.u. can you extend article fifty as in the date when the u.k. would have to leave can you make it longer this m.p. said to me when i said ok well when would you possibly have this referendum there's so much to get through he said be looking at many many long as it is before the european elections in june we think it is a possibility so. everything is to play for all these that they're still on the take the sting out of the way if you if you're joining us right now you're watching news this is our live coverage the result of that vote did come in for the british prime minister theresa may she did survive

canel demand more overtime and delay payment for years on today to lawmakers against the government's labor reforms trying to take their message to the voters in the airwaves government body guards got in the way but the whole world was watching when it happened i burned off in berlin this is the day. we had to watch humiliating scenes in the use of physical force against an elected member of parliament and that means the end of the rule of law in hungary. as i'm a dog. on. a listening tour. just this would make it so emotional because unfortunately the state media symbolizes the dirty and nasty propaganda dentists information dictatorship that's been created by the government of the poor man. and coming up later an exclusive report on the seeds of hate being sold in the war against the so-called islamic state in the philippines. martial law remains in force with soldiers everywhere and we have an advantage because we just blend in. the military cannot easily identify it as fighters know how to use a gun but if the battle happens elsewhere i will join. we begin the day with growing anger an

to work are coming from outside of the labor force.ber has been going up, but it is not as high as it was. there is still room for the broader measure of employment to improve. joe: this is the key thing i want to hone further into. some measures was suggest the labor market is very tight, but for the people who are not being counted as unemployed who could come back into the workforce, that's could mean there's a fair amount of shadows like out there. do believe-- shadow slack out there. do you believe there are a significant amount of people that would like to work but art? >> yes. there are still people also that are working part-time that would like to work full-time. year ago, but when we look at broader measures, we are back to levels we saw in 2000. that is a much less really picture than when we look at the employment rate which is at its lows level in 50 years. we talk about the wage growth, while we are seeing gains on the lower end of the spectrum, i do wonder whether or not we are seeing those gains in some of the middle cl

hungary's slave labor laws protest says again invents that new legislation which includes forced overtime. is already facing a new sanctions for flouncing rules on democracy how will he deal with growing challenges both at home and the world this is inside story. welcome to inside story. the right wing prime minister of hungary is at the center of yet more controversy they told faced unprecedented disciplinary action from the european parliament a few months ago for breaching core democratic values of the e.u. on the streets of budapest pots on sunday for another mass protest against new legislation which trade unions opposition students and others all say amount to modern day slavery they're demanding the laws revotes freedom for the media and independence for the. roy hallums house all reports. for the fourth day now protesters have been on the streets of the hunger area the capital budapest recent law changes a brought fouls and people out to denounce prime minister viktor orban his right wing government has been the lone voice i think that this content is growing and with not only ang

i'm not a supporter of the labor party. but to call jeremy corbin anti semitic is just absolutely crazy this is a man who actually almost uniquely in british parliament is an anti imperialist who is anti races has been fighting for human rights causes for his whole life and that's why i support him. and that's why i think many people support him because he is so fundamentally different to other labor leaders throughout the post-war period not just conservative leaders he does stand for something different. and the establishment aren't going to take that lying down but they are going to challenge corbin on that they are going to try and ridicule him because they don't like what he might do once in power but why does palestine so such a key issue which they are using to attack jeremy corbett and we will meet say you know he obviously has views about the city of london the power the city of london tax havens all sorts of much more structural deep seated. complexities in britain and yet its exports and support for israel arms e

obviously one moment we surely have to be proud about is role not in going to get love the wilson labor government that seems to be a kind of article of faith you you've seen other documents it seems that the only thing that the media can ever say about britain's role in the vietnam war in the one nine hundred sixty s. is that britain didn't send troops to vietnam but actually britain did send troops in the in the early one nine hundred sixty s. there was a covert operation by the british in north vietnam to link up with rebels who were fighting against the north vietnamese regime admittedly that did end in around one thousand nine hundred sixty three and not very much information has come out about that program but it is revealed in the declassified british files but in the late one nine hundred sixty s. in the wilson government although we're. didn't send troops the final show that britain did just about everything else to support us aggression in vietnam there were covert arms supplies from the british for example quite significant ones to the south vietnamese regime that was being b

we go through labor and administration, labor statistics and finish out with the apprenticeship trendwe held our 26th joint administrative meeting on the 20th, went through our regular agenda. it was a fairly -- very straightforward meeting. very little report came in from the unions, and it was our first meeting with our new san francisco building commission -- building trades person, tim paulson. we went through apprenticeship programs. in regards with labor for q 3, there were no labor stoppage for incidents, but there were zero incidents, and of course no lost time in third quarter. person years, we do have our breakdown that we have throughout the bay area and central valley showing that we have about 5.5 million hours of labor. regarding the apprenticeships in this graph that we've been showing a while now, you can see the far right end, it really does show as the labor was ramping down, we still are holding that yellow line, greenish line, depending on how it looks on your monitors. they're providing the shift perthe p.l.a. still, and we're essentially at 99.99% of the precinct

conservative party in the practice of the labor party you could probably find a broad deal if anyone could bring those parties together but in a way essentially both may have the conservative lead and called in the labor leader of both they hate each other and each part the party is a slugging it out so the chances of finding some kind of government of national unity to try to find a deal is very very low you could probably find some common ground there but it was the parties refused to collaborate with each other such a deal it would be very unlikely to be forthcoming that's why we then end up with two situation where we're talking about other options that is should there be a second referendum but we should britain revoke the so-called article fifty notification the start of the brakes a process like stop the thing altogether simply because the chances of finding any common ground in politics are slim at the moment all right john with a political blogger joining us here in studio on the twists and turns of crags that john thank you very much as you. you're watching the news a still

party and labor officials. what the hell is going on i tabled a parliamentary question recently and discovered the foreign office has given two million pounds of public money to a shady organization that's indulging in black propaganda against jeremy koeppen and the labor party if it is true that there is a deep state taxpayer funded to operation against our party it is totally unacceptable and to next one nation plus an inquiry must be conducted to mediately previously the foreign office had confirmed funding the integrity initiative with over one million and nine hundred thousand pounds in this financial year as well as two hundred ninety six thousand pounds in the previous financial year and we know that now the foreign office has launched an investigation following these latest revelations saying that any kind of domestic involvement in politics would be condemned this is what the foreign office minister alan duncan had to say i don't know the facts but if there is any kind of organization for which we are
