mr. trump, trampling upon the statutory authorities of the director of national intelligence and heads of the intelligence agencies. it's unclear to me what mr. barr is going to do. is he investigating a crime? what's the predication of that crime? mr. trump can just give to some of husband defenders on the right and cherry pick information that could be taken oust context. more fundamentally, the concern is that very, very precious and sensitive sources and methods of the united states intelligence community as well as our papers and allies abroad. those who share this sensitive information with us is mr. barr who doesn't have the understanding, is he going to release will information that he deems appropriate for mr. trump's defense? this is very serious and know that my former colleagues in the intelligence agencies are looking upon this with great concern and worry. >> it's interesting you said that. sometimes the president will issue an executive order that ends up being more of a messagin

a tweet from mr trump today demonstrated exactly why japan is nervous.ut not me." this is what those small weapons look like. they may not bother mr trump, but they certainly do botherjapan, which is well within range. japan is deeply sceptical of mr trump's friendship with north korean dictator kim jong un. but the us president still appears to believe it can lead to a historic peace deal. a powerful magnitude 8.0 earthquake has hit a remote part of the amazon jungle in peru, the most powerful to hit the quake struck in the early hours of sunday morning, collapsing buildings and knocking out power in some areas. tremors were felt hundreds of miles away in the capital lima — where people ran out of their homes in fear. some injuries, but no deaths have been reported. a british man has died following a collision between two yachts near cannes. the 29—year—old, who was a crew member on board the minx vessel, is reported to have suffered a heart attack. the incident happened as another yacht tried to manoeuvre past the minx. police are investigating the inc

at the end of the day, the conclusion is that mr trump wa nts to day, the conclusion is that mr trumpis power and autonomy over political issues so i really think getting down to the actual nitty—gritty of these matters, be it automobile orfarming nitty—gritty of these matters, be it automobile or farming goods, nitty—gritty of these matters, be it automobile orfarming goods, is not really the agenda. so that is one of the reasons why the japanese manufacturers are really going on the sidelines with all their investments because you can't really determine what kind of rational argument would take place. this is one of the biggest negatives we are seeing, the anxiety and darkness which is not predictable by these japanese delegates over here. certainly, it echoes of the comments we heard from the director—general of the wto, the effects are being felt in terms of the global economy. talk to me about investor sentiment and investor confidence. hasn't been held back as a result of the spread of the trade war between the us and china? very much though. directly a lot of japanese manufactu

mr trump was greeted warmly as he arrived injapan with his wife melania on saturday. but despite those good relations, the key message from his visit is clear. we really have strengthened the enduring alliance between the united states and japan. it is really special. with this deal we hope would address the trade imbalance, remove barriers to united states exports and ensure fairness and reciprocity in our relationship. president trump in japan. our correspondent in tokyo, hywel griffith says there's a lot riding on this visit for both leaders. the two men have been close, meeting and speaking over the phone a0 times we re and speaking over the phone a0 times were told since president trump came to power and their relationship is key to the successful both, both have elections on the horizon so they need to show as two world leaders they work together closely. also on the menu over the next few days will be nailing down the details of the bright bilateral trade deal between japan details of the bright bilateral trade deal betweenjapan and the us. the us was not keen

"the times" reports that in several of those years, mr. trump appears to have lost more money than any other individual american taxpayer. >> i love loans. i love other people's money. >> reporter: mr. trump often used bank loans to fund his projects. like many real estate developers he wrote off losses. but "the times" found the president lost so much money, he avoided paying income tax in eight of those ten years. >> he lost other people's money. he lost the bank's money. he lost the investor money. >> reporter: steve rosenthal is at the policy center. >> this is stretching tax rules beyond recognition. >> reporter: in a pair of tweets today, president trump defended himself saying, losses for tax purposes was a sport among developers. he called "the times'" investigation highly inaccurate. he often touts his businesses successes at rallies like this one in florida. he says his tax returns would show that success and he has not release them. the secretary of thease refused a request to see more of the returns. >> ben tracy, hitting the ground

mr. trump's gop rivals used back in 2016. they tried to keep mr. trump's attacks at arms length during the kpacampaign. it's an open question whether that approach will work in 2020. we should note in the last several minutes president trump has poked at former vice president biden. won't get into the content, but it's safe to say the tweet was posted on u.s. soil. >> thank you. joining us now, congressman from washington state. sherves on the hou he serves on the house intelligence committee. i want you to listen to what your republican colleague justin amash of michigan said at a town hall just a little while ago. listen to this. >> i'm confident that if you read volume two, you'll be appalled at much of the conduct and i was appalled by it. that's why i stated what i stated. that's why i came to that conclusion because i think we can't go -- we can't let conduct like that go unchecked. congress has a duty to keep the president in check. i think it's really important that we do our job as a congress. that we not allow misconduct to go undeterred.

short sided way begins to throw dirt into that process for the temporary political advantage of mr trump but for the long term endangerment of international trade now quickly president trump on twitter predicted that china would cut interest rates and suggested that the federal reserve does the same thing the u.s. could just game over would win the trade war this seems like a new high or low with regard to trump's disregard for protocol with the growth of federal reserve which is holy here in washington is he going too far this time. yes i think so i think he's getting desperate the chinese have not caved in not about to so he looks like he's pursuing something that isn't going to end a very well now he's once again pressing on a agency the federal reserve that's supposed to be independent to get an advantage he did that before because he wants low interest rates to stimulate the economy in time for his reelection bid next year so this is a kind of transparent effort to raise that question again by linking it to china right fascinating insight as always richard wolfe professor of economi

this is not a bad economics what this is about is political theater this is an attempt of mr trump to look like he's reorganizing the world economy so that the united states gets a better treatment than it did before what mr trump said he wanted in the beginning were some adjustments in the relationships between the united states and china. these adjustments are in all likelihood something that the chinese economy could easily manage and that the chinese political leadership is willing to give mr trump thought only way mr trump also got the idea that you could force the chinese into making much more fundamental changes in larry economic system this is a mistake on the part of the united states and it is something that in any case the chinese government and the chinese society will not do. the u.s. secretary of state has some big meetings scheduled in moscow we have all the details after a break this is our 2 internet. it's a 2 tier economy there is to cater for the world so that unless i just in america sell if i go into a big bank that bank of america citi bank wells fargo bank and i

now costing huge losses in stock markets and the irony of it all is it's mostly political theater mr trump has initiated a massive tax on americans that is lost sight of tariff is just of word for a particular kind of tax mr trump is taxing goods and services that come into the united states those taxes will be paid by american businesses and they will shift some of the burden onto american consumers it used to be that so-called conservatives were against massive taxation but now we see the most conservative of all doing the very thing he had said he would never do as a conservative imposing taxes and that disrupts the economy in all kinds of ways the stock market collapse is another one and the irony of it all is this is so that mr trump can position himself posture as the tough leader getting a better deal when the dust clears and i believe a deal will be struck the chinese will say they prevailed mr trump will say prevailed and we will go on to some other crisis that can keep our president in the news economically this is costly to both sides but it is a cost that is fundamentally polit
