mr. raab seemed to say those projections from chancellor hammond won't come through either are we facing> it's not a willingness to be no deal, we want there to be a good deal. but our european partners should understand if we don't get a good deal, then -- and we have to walk away, we would that's not an outcome that is in either interest. >> just want to talk about your meeting in china as well it seems that both you and the chinese commerce ministry worked towards a topnotch trade deal. we know you can't commit to anything until the brexit process is complete, but do you have concerns about businesses operating in china specifically when it comes to intellectual property transfers >> i think if you look at the chinese market and the uk's export pattern with china, you can see where the difficulties lie. if you look at the united states, you can see 55% of uk exports to the united states are services it's about 50/50 globally for services and goods for the uk. in china it's 82% goods, 18% services in other words, what the uk has most to offer in terms of the ability for the chinese eco

mr. washington. next speaker, please. >> good afternoon. my name is rob hammond, district 7 resident speaking in favor of item 78. also a senior advisor to sunrise project, we have been leading a global campaign to get the insurance company to put its money where it's mouth is on climate change. we have secured commitments from largest insurers to stop under writing coal and tar sands operations but none of those companies who made those commitments are u.s.-based. we are hoping to change that. for decades we have been warned about climate change but despite the warnings and it's costing the industry hundreds of billions of dollars u.s. insurance companies continue to prop up the fossil fuel industry in two basic ways. as investors u.s. insurance companies hold a trillion dollars in fossil fuel stock but also serve a critical role in providing insurance to every part of the fossil fuel supply chain. simply put without insurance none of these projects go forward. cities like san francisco are playing a critical role in fighting climate change, especially now that trump has pulled u.s. out of the paris agreement. b
